"Boy, please wait a moment!"
But at this moment, a strong voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Looking back, he saw a mighty god walking towards the two of them.
I saw this man with a long beard, a golden helmet with a fan cloud on his head, a green and black battle armor, and a seven-story exquisite pagoda in his hand.
At this time, it was none other than Li Jing, the King of Pagoda!
"Li Jing has paid a visit to Master Guanyin. I wonder if the Bodhisattva could do something convenient for me to have a chat with this holy monk?"
Li Jing stepped forward and got straight to the point.
For this reason, Tang Sanzang frowned slightly.
He and Li Jing have been living together for the rest of their lives, so what is there to talk about with him?
"Of course, but time is precious, so please keep the story short."
After hearing this, Li Jing nodded gratefully, and then without saying a word, he directly offered the exquisite pagoda to Tang Sanzang!
"King Tota, what are you doing!"
Seeing this scene, Tang Sanzang suddenly felt bad!
But before he could make any move, a burst of vast divine light burst out from the pagoda and attacked directly towards his body!
For a moment, Tang Sanzang felt a powerful devouring power envelope him!
So much so that his body was completely out of control, and he was involuntarily drawn into the pagoda following the divine light!
Buzz! …
The next moment, Tang Sanzang disappeared from the place and suddenly appeared inside the Linglong Pagoda!
At a glance, I saw the divine light inside the pagoda.
Golden streams of light circulated alternately on each tower level, like countless chains crisscrossing the tower, like a golden cage.
At this time, a shadow of Li Jing, transformed by divine light, also appeared in the pagoda and came to Tang Sanzang.
"Holy Monk, there are many people talking in Nantianmen just now. There are some things that it is not convenient for me to say directly, so I have to invite you here."
At this time, Li Jing said to Tang Sanzang apologetically.
"King Li Tian, why are you looking for me at this time?"
Tang Sanzang looked at him with some vigilance and asked.
"Tang Huang...is he okay now?"
Li Jing's eyes were a little complicated. After a while, he asked such a question without any nutrition.
"Your Majesty's current situation does not seem worthy of your concern, right?"
In this regard, Tang Sanzang did not give him any good looks.
"Holy Monk, you seem to be very prejudiced against me?"
After hearing this, Li Jing looked a little ugly.
"King Tota, although you are a high-ranking god, in my eyes, you are just a rebellious minister who betrayed the world. How can I respect you?"
Tang Sanzang said this with disdain in his voice.
Tang Sanzang was no stranger to the identity of Li Jing, the king of pagodas.
Sixteen hundred years ago, he was the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan, an important minister around Emperor Xin, responsible for guarding the eastern gateway of the Yin-Shang Empire.
Later, the Heavenly Court lowered the list of gods and formally declared war on the Yin and Shang Empire.
But instead of accepting the challenge, he held a heavy army and opened the gate of Chentangguan wide, allowing the heavenly army to march in.
Because of his betrayal, the human emperor Xin finally burned himself on Lutai in desperation, and the Yin and Shang empire collapsed.
As a result, Li Jing was ranked in the Immortal Class, was reused by the Jade Emperor, and became the powerful Pagoda King in the three realms.
Thirty years ago, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty did not want to consider himself emperor and openly challenged the divine authority of heaven.
The Jade Emperor was furious and ordered Li Jing to come down to earth to assist Li Yuan in overthrowing his Sui and Yang kingdoms.
Li Yuan was a puppet supported by Heaven. The Jade Emperor originally thought that after the establishment of the Tang Empire, he would surrender to Heaven and give away the Eastern Land.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin actually launched the Xuanwu Gate Revolution and replaced him as the Human Emperor, which completely bankrupted Heaven's ambition to annex the Eastern Territory...
And in these thousands of years of human ups and downs, Li Jing's role is nothing more than a capricious snob who only seeks glory!
"You are right. I am indeed a rebellious minister who betrayed the world, but I also have my own reasons."
Li Jing did not refute Tang Sanzang's harsh words, "But no matter what, Emperor Tang is the emperor I admire most. I don't want him to die tragically in the hands of the Jade Emperor one day."
"So, you came to me this time, could it be that you want the poor monk to persuade His Majesty to give up his dominance of the human world and return to the feet of the heaven?"
Tang Sanzang snorted coldly, still without any politeness.
"No, no, no, you misunderstood me."
However, Li Jing said calmly, "Li Shimin is the Human Emperor. He was born to rule the world. Since I admire him, how can I have such unrealistic expectations?"
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang frowned.
Although Li Jing is now an immortal in heaven, it seems from his tone that he and the Jade Emperor are not really on the same page?
For this reason, Tang Sanzang nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"Tang Sanzang, I would like to ask you, how long will it take for you to reach Lingshan on your westward journey this time, so that Tang Dynasty and Buddhism can establish an alliance?"
At this time, Li Jing changed the subject and asked him this.
"As little as six or seven years, as many as ten years."
Tang Sanzang responded like this.
After all, he went to Xitian this time on Li Shimin's order not just to conclude a diplomatic alliance with Lingshan.
It is also to win over the major mortal empires in the world and make them submit to the feet of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Only a truly unified human world, coupled with the flourishing Western Heaven Buddhism, can barely compete with the heavens.
But this important mission cannot be accomplished overnight.
"Ten years, ten years is too long!"
However, Li Jing shook his head, "By then, I'm afraid it will be too late!"
"The main reason I came here is to tell you that the Jade Emperor is at his weakest now. If Datang and Lingshan want to overthrow the tyranny of Heaven, they must do it as soon as possible."
"Once the Jade Emperor returns to his peak divine realm in ten years, even if you join forces, you will definitely have no chance of winning!"
What! ?
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but be shocked.
After leaving these meaningful words, Li Jing said nothing more and then disappeared.
And Tang Sanzang also felt that the surrounding space gradually became blurred and distorted, and a familiar devouring power swept through his body again.
After a while, he was separated from the Linglong Tower and returned to the Nantian Gate again.
At this time, Li Jing had already left, but Tang Sanzang frowned.
Although Li Jing is now an immortal in heaven, it seems from his tone that he and the Jade Emperor are not of the same mind.
"I am a human being, so I am naturally loyal to my homeland, but compared to my homeland, I value my relatives more."
At this moment, the four heavenly kings heard the sound and came over, "King Tota, what happened?"
Li Jing shook his head, "It's nothing. The Buddhist scripture seeker just ignored the Jade Emperor in heaven. I just gave him a small lesson!"
