[Congratulations, Li Shimin, the Li family, led his troops to suppress the rebellion of the Li family in Taiyuan! In the Central Plains, the north and south were unified, and a new dynasty was established. The country's name was: Zhong! 】
It not only embodies the meaning of the mean of Han Confucianism, but also aims to become the center of the four directions of heaven and earth and the stars of the universe.
The two countries, Turks and Goguryeo, who were still watching the excitement and even thinking about intervening in the war, buying and selling war horses and weapons to make war profits, were dumbfounded by Li's operation.
Do I suppress myself?
Then Li started to attack his former allies: Buddhism and Taoism, and he was even more unceremonious. Each led the way faster and more familiar than the other.
In less than a year, people from all over the world were convinced that the shore of the land was the land of the king.
Paying taxes, paying taxes, and checking taxes have become necessary things in everyone's life, no matter whether you are a prince, general or a nun. As a result, for both Buddhism and Taoism, making money has become their biggest problem.
Why do you still farm when you become a monk?
…
Emperor steps on the peak.
It is surrounded by green peaks and mountains, with towering hills and mountains on both sides, and the mountains are covered with green trees.
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking far into the distance, between the vast sea of clouds, there is a big river running straight to Pingfeng Mountain. The distant shadows of white sails on the river add to the poetic feeling.
In the early morning, from a distance, the mountains are misty and misty, like a fairyland on earth.
Xu Ziling walked along the path in the rugged area, quietly feeling the smell of earth in the air. Taking a deep breath in the mountains and forests, you really have a sense of returning to nature and the transcendent feeling of harmony between man and nature.
The little birds chirping in the treetops make people feel happy.
Since Cihang Jingzhai closed the mountain, he has been staying under the Emperor's Step Peak, living in seclusion in a hut, which is quite leisurely.
Of course, this place belongs to Cihang Jingzhai Mountain Gate, and the people living in the Zhai are pure and pure fairies. He was an outsider, a man, and was not allowed to stay temporarily.
Later, it was Shifei Xuan who begged for mercy and there was no manpower to purchase the supplies needed for the mountain gate, so he was able to stay.
As a result, he now doesn't even need to work in the fields. He only needs to go down the mountain to purchase supplies once every half month. He is relaxed and not tired, and can stay with the fairy day and night.
Life in a dream is nothing more than this, right?
"There is no one else in my eyes, but you are everywhere. I see all living beings as grass and trees, but I only see you as a green mountain. I hope that the years can look back, and we grow old together with deep affection. Even if you prefer one person to another, I hope that I can spend the rest of my life with happiness.
This life is too short to be happy without you! "
Xu Ziling chuckled and continued walking slowly up the mountain.
"Grrrr~ It's so funny! People don't even bother to look at you. Are you trying to impress yourself?" Hanhan walked out of the dense forest barefoot and dressed in white, mocking.
The Buddhist and Taoist sects were severely suppressed, but the Demonic sect suffered almost no damage. After all, they have no money or property, so why should they pay taxes?
As the saying goes, if I don’t go to hell, of course I’ll let others go to hell.
The two sects of Buddhism and Taoism joined forces to clear out the demon sect and asked them to pay the poll tax, but there was no result at all. Even if the Li family is included, they have searched all over the world, and even now they haven't found the hair of the Demon Sect's elite.
As we all know, the Buddhist sect has become so powerful in recent years that it has almost overwhelmed the Demonic sect, and the Demonic sect has also been running away for twenty years. No one has more experience than them in escaping.
Xu Ziling ignored her and continued to move forward.
Huanhua suddenly felt that it was not interesting, and she even didn't understand why she fell in love with such a man. infatuation? Maybe it’s this simplicity and cuteness.
People like this in the Demon Sect would never live to be that old, and they might be deceived into death even before they grow up.
Witch, fairy, can you judge a person just by the words "good and evil"?
"Da da da!"
A black horse walked slowly up the mountain, and sitting on it was a man, tall, burly, and heroic.
Hanhan noticed the arrival of Kou Zhong at a glance. Although he was not in line with her hobbies, he still attracted the girl's attention.
Not because of anything else, but because the man in front of him had an indescribable smell.
It was an aura in which everything was under control. Every movement and expression seemed so magnanimous and confident, especially his eyes, which seemed to contain a sea of stars.
If the first time I met him, he was just a low-key and dull young man, then now he is a king full of confidence and calmness.
No fear, no shyness, no shyness...just calm and unhurried confidence.
"Huanhan pays homage to the Emperor!"
Kou Zhong nodded, not taking it seriously.
People like the Demon Sect don't even have any property. Many of them live in caves, drinking dew when they are thirsty and eating grasshoppers when they are hungry. It is really difficult for him to collect taxes.
But as long as you don't cause trouble, it won't be a big problem.
Seeing that his brother was still walking up the mountain, Xu Ziling finally couldn't help but said, "Young Master Zhong, this is a pure place of Buddhism. I don't see my outsider. What are you going to do?"
Only then did Kou Zhong turn his head and laugh.
"Master Ling, do you know what this mountain peak is called?"
Xu Ziling was startled: "Emperor stepping on the peak?"
"Then do you think I am not qualified to enter Cihang Jingzhai? There is no place in the world that I, Kou Zhong, cannot go to!" Kou Zhong naturally showed off without hesitation in front of his brothers.
【Except the Song family! 】I added silently in my heart.
Xu Ziling laughed and didn't believe it at all.
As far as he knew, Cihang Jingzhai was a holy place in the world of martial arts, and the practitioners there were famous fairies, many of whom were even missed by some seniors.
Therefore, both the people in the world and the then Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty were very respectful to this place.
Even if Ning Daoqi, the great master of the Taoist sect, came over, Fan Qinghui, the master of the Zhai at that time, was not too respectful. After discussing the deal, he allowed him to stay briefly on the mountain to read the holy book of Cihang Jingzhai: Cihang Sword Code!
Li Shimin has always had Buddhist support, but so far, he is not even qualified to go up the mountain. And since he has such a good relationship with Fei Xuan, now he only has the opportunity to see her at the door once every half month.
Mr. Zhong, why should he?
Thinking about it, Xu Ziling followed the mountain unconsciously. This rare opportunity to watch his brothers' jokes should not be missed.
There is a stone plaque on the mountain road with words engraved on both sides. The poem goes: My home is in this mountain, and I don’t know where it is deep in the clouds.
After walking for a while, Xu Ziling was stunned by a scene that appeared in front of him.
Cihang Jingzhai went from top to bottom, headed by Fan Qinghui, and Shifei Xuan stood aside, dressed solemnly, respectfully and neatly standing at the gate of the mountain.
When they saw Kou Zhong, Fan Qinghui and all the noble fairies put their hands together and bowed deeply.
"Amitabha Buddha, Fan Qinghui, the master of Cihang Jingzhai, together with his apprentice, Shifei Xuan, and all his disciples, pay homage to the Emperor!"
Xu Ziling:......
Double standards, right?
Kou Zhong stopped his horse and raised his hand: "No courtesy."
"Master of the Brahma Palace, I heard from my brother that you, an idle member of the Zhaiyuan, are not allowed to enter.
At that time, I didn’t believe it. There were still nunneries in the world that didn’t allow people to go in to burn incense and worship Buddha? I made a bet with him. Whoever loses will be fined three drinks.
Master, tell me, am I winning or losing now? "
Shi Fei Xuan looked at the young man following the horse in surprise.
Xu Ziling:? ? ?
I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense! He slandered!
"The Emperor is joking. Cihang Jingzhai is not a shady place that harbors dirt and evil. Of course, everyone is welcome to sincerely worship the Buddha, please!" Fan Qinghui smiled and extended his hand, inviting directly.
No matter what she was thinking, all she had to do now was be respectful. Jingnian Chanyuan surrendered early, and now Cihang Jingzhai is the leading figure in Buddhism.
This guy most likely came here with only one purpose: to get mad!
If the reception is not good, tomorrow may be Cihang Jingzhai’s memorial day.
"Haha, Master Ling, let's go together?" Koo Zhong invited with a chuckle.
Xu Ziling glanced at Shi Fei Xuan's calm expression,
He waved his hands quickly and said harshly.
"No need, I go to this mountain several times a year!"
"Hahaha~ You guy! If I wanted to make my concubine Xuan my concubine, would you still congratulate her on finding a good home?" Kou Zhong said with a smile.
Xu Ziling looked at his best brother in disbelief.
I treat you like a sibling, but you want to have sex with my wife?
"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. I have something to do and I'll go up to the mountain and come back. I'll have a drink tonight."
Shi Feixuan and Xu Ziling breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Afterwards, Kou Zhong did not dismount, slowly followed the nuns, and continued to move forward.
Passing through seven wooden doors called the Sevenfold Gate with door knockers decorated with lotus patterns, there is finally a maroon main door, followed by a large square, and behind it is the main hall Cihang Hall.
When he arrived in front of the palace, Kou Zhong dismounted.
"Fairy Master, my horse was a gift from the Song family and is worth ten thousand gold. You must take good care of it for me."
Master Fei Xuan pursed her lips to hold back the turmoil in her heart.
"Fei Xuan only obeys your orders."
Then the girl stepped forward and slowly led the black horse to the backyard.
"My Majesty, in the harsh conditions of the mountains, I can only have a cup of thin tea. Please express my feelings. Please!" Fan Qinghui led his disciples forward to serve tea.
Kou Zhong picked up the tea cup without politeness and drank from it.
"Gudu, Gudu."
"Not bad, quench your thirst!"
Fan Qinghui's pretty little face twitched: "I wonder what the Emperor's important business is here? In fact, you don't have to come in person. What are your orders? Once the imperial decree is given, everyone in this house will definitely obey it."
Kou Zhong didn't care, stretched himself, stood up and said, "I have three things to do here.
First: I heard that your mountain peak is called Emperor Ta Peak, so as the current emperor, I naturally have to visit it. The scenery here is nice, but the whole world is not the land of the king. You, Cihang Jingzhai, occupy this mountain. Have you paid the rent? "
Fan Qinghui was startled: "Your Majesty, this Emperor's Treading Peak has been owned by our Cihang Jingzhai since ancient times. How can we pay rent?"
Kou Zhong frowned and said in a deep voice: "Didn't the owner of the restaurant hear what I said clearly? There is no one in the world who is not a king!"
After a moment of silence, Fan Qinghui clasped his hands together and said, "As ordered, the poor nun will send his disciples down the mountain to report and pay the rent soon."
Only then did Kou Zhong nod with satisfaction: "The second thing is, I heard that your Cihang Jingzhai's "Cihang Sword Code" was created by Di Ni to suppress the sect. It is one of the four great martial arts books. It has Shattering Void on it. The secret.
And it is said that you once exchanged a copy of the "Illustrated Book of the God of War" with the Song family. I have the nerve to borrow it for a few days. Will the owner of the house object? "
Fan Qinghui's heart was bleeding, but he still smiled and said: "Amitabha, the emperor has spoken out the Constitution of Heaven, and the poor nuns naturally have no reason to object, please."
"Oh, the master of the house really understands the righteousness, and I don't read your book in vain. I heard that Le Ye and Undefeated Heavenly Sword borrowed this strange book back then. To express their apology, they even added a new calligraphy and left a calligraphy treasure. .
In this way, I will write an inscription for you later. "
Fan Qinghui:? ? ?
"Okay!" Nun Qingli lowered her head and said softly.
There seems to be something wrong with this tone. Is it because my throat is uncomfortable?
"Then Master, please lead the way. Today's schedule is quite busy and I have to go back to drink in the evening."
Fan Qinghui raised his head, his eyes clear: "The Emperor, please!"
The two stood up again and walked around the Cihang Hall to reach the back mountain. Along the mountain, there was an elegant and clean rain-viewing pavilion, and then through the jungle, there was the Cangdian Pagoda that all heroes in the world yearned for.
"Amitabha, the Central Emperor, the Cihang Sword Manual and the God of War Illustration are placed on the top of this tower. According to the rules of this temple, unless the contemporary saint is a saint or is in retreat, the disciples of this temple are not allowed to enter the tower.
The poor nun will no longer lead the way, please come in and watch as you like. It is not easy for the sages to create laws, so I hope the emperor will show mercy. Fan Qinghui said calmly.
"Easy to say, easy to say!" Kou Zhong waved his hand casually and walked in with his hands behind his back.
The tower has nine floors. As soon as you enter the door, you can smell a quiet fragrance. The fragrance of books, burning incense, or the fragrance of daughters?
Kou
Zhong doesn't care.
He is not very interested in women now. Anyway, Dong Shuni is pregnant and has completed the mission of inheriting the Kou family.
Entering the top of the tower, there are only two strange books placed on the stone platform in the huge space, a Cihang Sword Manual made of strange gold and iron, and a catalog of the God of War embroidered with silk.
Stepping forward to look through it, Kou Zhong saw the words on the first page of Cihang Sword Palace at a glance. It was vast, elegant and majestic.
"Leye and Queque are here for a visit."
The contemporary emperor suddenly became very interested and wrote on it with a finger pen.
【Kou Kou is also here for a visit! 】
An hour later, Kou Zhong went downstairs with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if I am satisfied with my sword canon? It is getting late, and the poor nun has prepared a vegetarian meal for you. If there is anything that the emperor cannot understand, you can also ask the poor nun's apprentice Shifei Xuan to do it for you. Please answer in detail."
"No need!" Kou Zhong raised his hand: "I am here to do only three things. The third thing is that I will personally propose marriage for my brother Xu Ziling to marry your holy girl from Cihang Jingzhai: Shifei Xuan."
Fan Qinghui was speechless.
Today's Shi Feixuan is the only being in Buddhism who is most likely to break through to become a great master, and she is also Buddhism's last hope. If we agree to this condition again, will Buddhism still have a future?
"Your Majesty, Fei Xuan is an outsider and has already seen through the world of mortals. You must not make such a joke!"
Kou Zhong said coldly: "What kind of outsider?
As far as I know, didn’t Bi Xiuxin, the previous saint of Cihang Jingzhai, marry Shi Zhixuan? Is it because I am not qualified to propose marriage? Or is it that you, Cihang Jingzhai, have been hanging on to my brother? "
Fan Qinghui was silent.
How to answer this?
"Your Majesty, this matter of marriage is an agreement between heaven and earth, and it is better to depend on the two people's free will. I also hope that your Majesty will let these two people find out clearly in person.
Otherwise, wouldn't it ruin your majesty's closest friends and brothers if you mess around with each other? Fan Qinghui said helplessly.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Fan Qinghui:......
Is being an emperor so great? Can you be a rogue when you are an emperor?
