The next day, early morning.
Xiao Changle was meditating with Li Daoxuan. The two of them were bathed in the morning glow, breathing in the dense purple energy, moving around the sky, and their bodies were flowing. From a distance, they looked like immortals.
This scene looks quite comfortable and peaceful. Two figures, one big and one small, are all wearing Taoist robes, bathing in the glow, sitting cross-legged in meditation, surrounded by the gentle morning breeze and the chirping of birds. Man and nature coexist harmoniously.
However, an anxious voice broke the calm.
"Brother, brother!"
Xuanzang came in a hurry, not even wearing the monk's robe, and his usual calm and quiet temperament was gone.
Li Dao
"Xuan Zang, why are you so panicked?"
Li Daoxuan greeted Xuanzang as the Yang God, so that his physical body could continue to practice without any delay.
After becoming the Yang God Realm, the soul changes from pure yin to pure yang. Not only can it walk openly under the sun, but it can even absorb sunlight to make up for its magic power.
In other words, if Yang Shen is under the sun, his mana will almost never be exhausted.
This feeling is very comfortable. Li Daoxuan now likes the Yangshen to leave his body and often comes out to bask in the sun.
"Brother, I dreamed about Master last night. He... He seemed very bad!"
Xuanzang told everything about his nightmare last night without hiding anything, his eyes full of worry.
"Brother, that dream felt too real. I had a hunch that Master was encountering something unexpected, so he entrusted the dream to me. Master was asking me for help!"
"Brother, believe me, the only person I can turn to now is you!"
After listening to Xuanzang's description, Li Daoxuan's expression became serious.
He said in a deep voice: "Xuan Zang, don't be anxious yet. I will naturally believe you. This matter is definitely not simple. Master Sanle should be in danger."
Xuanzang was relieved to hear that Li Daoxuan was willing to believe him. What he was most worried about was that his elder brother refused to believe it.
Li Daoxuan pondered for a moment and then asked: "Xuan Zang, do you usually dream?"
Xuanzang shook his head decisively and said: "Brother, although I have no cultivation level, my master has taught me meditation skills since I was a child. I have stopped dreaming over the years."
Li Daoxuan nodded and said: "That's it. A person who doesn't dream suddenly has a nightmare. I guess even if Master Sanle didn't ask for a dream, you might have foreseen something in advance."
"Now, brother, I won't hide it from you. Master Sanle once came to Chang'an. He said he would prepare to deal with Moro, but in order to prevent the secret from being leaked, he did not tell us the specific plan. He just said that when the time is right, He will tell us where Moro is."
Li Daoxuan sighed and said: "Now it seems that there are some problems with Master Sanle's plan."
When Xuanzang heard this, he became very anxious.
"Brother, let's go find my master quickly. He said in his dream that he was going to Shangyang City to find an old beggar covered in pus. I guess that old beggar must know about the master's situation!"
Li Daoxuan said in a concentrated voice: "Shangyang City is on Henan Road, not close to here. Before leaving, I have to go to the palace and make arrangements for Chang'an."
Although Xuanzang was worried about his master's safety, he also knew that Li Daoxuan had the responsibility of being a national teacher and could not leave just as he wanted.
He bowed deeply to Li Daoxuan and said, "Brother, I'm going to cause you trouble again this time."
Li Daoxuan patted him on the shoulder and said: "Master Sanle is also a senior I respect. Besides, this matter concerns Moro. Even without your relationship, eldest brother will not sit idly by."
"Wait a moment, big brother will come as soon as he goes."
After saying that, Li Daoxuan's Yangshen turned into a golden light and flew towards the palace.
Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace.
It was rare that Li Shimin was not reviewing memorials, but playing Go with Empress Changsun. He was using the same chessboard that Li Daoxuan gave him. Even in the hot summer, there was a hint of coldness around the chessboard, which was very magical.
"Queen...Did Changle greet you this morning?"
After lying down for a long time, Li Shimin finally couldn't help but ask.
Queen Changsun glanced at him, smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty wanted to ask Changle if he returned to the palace last night."
Li Shimin coughed and said: "Changle is still young. Even if he practices Taoism with his master, he cannot stay out at night. After all, he is the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty. It is not good if word spreads..."
Empress Changsun burst out laughing and said: "Since Your Majesty doesn't want to, then let's punish Taichong. Who let him, the master, snatch His Majesty's precious daughter?"
Li Shimin suddenly became angry and decided not to give in to the queen anymore. He launched a fierce killing method and made quick moves, trying to regain his face on the chessboard.
However, Queen Changsun's chess style was steady and rock-solid. She even launched a counterattack and quietly controlled one of Li Shimin's dragons.
Only then did Li Shimin realize that the queen had been giving in to him before.
"Your Majesty is mighty, but I am extremely frightened."
Empress Changsun covered her mouth and smiled, with a hint of playfulness in her voice.
Li Shimin took a breath, he couldn't bear it, he absolutely couldn't bear it! 33
He loosened his waist, walked over domineeringly, and hugged Queen Changsun.
"Bold Guanyin, I will compete with you in martial arts today!"
Empress Changsun's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. Perhaps it was because of the formation of the starry formation in the sky. Your Majesty was happy in her heart, and she was also unusually brave in some aspects. She was happy in her heart, but sometimes... Your Majesty always made no distinction. occasion…………
Seeing that an indescribable and charming drama was about to take place in the Manna Palace, Gao Quan, the eunuch in charge, suddenly came up and said: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Master wants to see you!"
In the Manlu Palace, Li Daoxuan met the emperor and queen.
His Majesty's expression was as normal and upright, and he was looking intently at the memorial in his hand, which was the loose jade belt around his waist, which seemed to have revealed some secret inadvertently.
Empress Changsun is still so dignified and bright, dressed in palace attire, elegant yet smart, noble and gentle, with a bookish quality, which makes people subconsciously feel close to her.
Perhaps it was because of the hot weather, but there was a faint blush on Queen Changsun's graceful face.
"Taichong, did Changle sleep well last night?"
Queen Changsun suddenly asked, and Li Shimin, who was reviewing the memorial, also subconsciously pricked up his ears.
"It's good. Changle meditated with me this morning. She has a calm temperament and can calm down. She is an excellent Taoist talent. She will become a great person in the future!"
Hearing Li Daoxuan's praise, a smile appeared on Li Shimin's lips.
"That's good. By the way, Taichong, do you have someone you like?"
Empress Changsun looked Li Daoxuan up and down with a smile.
Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The Queen is worried about you, but I already have someone I like."
Upon hearing this, Empress Changsun showed a trace of regret in her eyes and said: "Well, I heard that you have a rule in Longhu Mountain, and you can only have one wife in your life. Unfortunately, those who ask me to be the matchmaker, I'm afraid they will be disappointed. "
Li Shimin shook his head and said with a smile: "You, you still can't change your habit of being a matchmaker. You are too attracted to the person you like. What an amazing talent and beauty you have. How can it be compared to those vulgar things in the world?"
As he said that, he winked at Li Daoxuan, showing his eyes that I understand you.
Li Shimin had met the Empress in Tsing Yi, and he could clearly feel that the holy and beautiful fairy had a very special attitude towards Taichong. If there was no intrigue between the two, he could eat the imperial seal!
"Common things in the world, vulgar powder?"
Empress Changsun reread these eight words, and then said thoughtfully: "It seems that Your Majesty has very high vision, and the beauty of the world can no longer satisfy you. I just don't know which fairy you have chosen. I am the one who makes the decision." How about I hire you to be the master of the Sixth Palace?"
Li Shimin immediately straightened his back, waved his hands repeatedly, and said with a bitter smile: "The Queen is joking, I never meant it!"
Empress Changsun pursed her lips and smiled, no longer teasing, but said: "The Imperial Preceptor has come to see Your Majesty. We must have something important to discuss, so I will stop nagging you."
With the dignity of a queen, she actually saluted Li Daoxuan Yingying, and then slowly left with a graceful gesture.
"Queen, you are not an outsider, why don't you listen together?"
Li Shimin was a little reluctant to let her leave, so he tried to persuade her.
But in this matter, Queen Changsun, who had an easy-going and friendly personality, showed unprecedented persistence. She bowed to thank you for your kindness, and then slowly exited the Manna Palace.
"Oh, my queen is good at everything, but she is too virtuous..."
Li Shimin complained to Li Daoxuan, but the proud smile at the corner of his mouth could not be concealed.
All she needs is a few big words written on her face - My wife is so kind, but you are not.
Li Dao Sorry.
But now is not the time for love between children, so Li Daoxuan quickly stepped forward and told Xuanzang's dream.
After hearing this, Li Shimin looked solemn and said, "Does the Imperial Master think this is not just a dream?"
Li Daoxuan nodded and said: "Nine times out of ten, Master Sanle is a strange person of a generation, with the body of Maitreya Buddha and his cultivation level
He is far above me, and if something unexpected happens to him, it shows how terrifying Moro is! "
After a pause, Li Daoxuan emphasized: "Your Majesty, although we have set up a great star formation to illuminate the demons in the Tang Dynasty, we must know that people's hearts are sinister, even worse than demons. If Moro is not removed, sooner or later he will become a demon. Big trouble!"
Li Shimin nodded, fully agreeing with this.
"What the Imperial Master said makes sense, but you are now in charge of the Four Saints Formation and are in charge of Chang'an. If you leave, what will happen if something happens to Chang'an?"
It's not that he is worried about his own safety, but that the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation has just been formed, and Chang'an is the core of this formation. If a demon invades Chang'an and breaks the formation, the loss will be huge.
Li Dao The Holy Formation is guaranteed to be foolproof!"
Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "It's a good idea, but I don't know who the Imperial Master thinks is more suitable to take over the Jade Seal of the Kingdom after you leave?"
Li Daoxuan wanted to say the name in his heart, but he stopped when he reached his mouth.
"This is a state matter, and I leave it to Your Majesty to decide."
A smile appeared in Li Shimin's eyes. He nodded and said, "In that case, I will let Huang Guanzi temporarily take charge of the Four Saints Formation."
"By the way, you just said that Master Sanle mentioned Shangyang City in Xuanzang's dream?"
Li Daoxuan nodded and asked: "Your Majesty, is there anything strange in Shangyang City?"
Li Shimin nodded, picked up a memorial, and said: "After the Zhou Tianxing Dou Formation was set up, demons from all over the country were exposed in the sky-viewing mirror, so the governors of various states wrote letters asking for more bad guys to get rid of the demons as soon as possible, but strangely Yes, of the twenty-nine prefectures in Henan Province, only Shangyang City has no official petition."
Li Daoxuan asked: "Is it possible that there is a cultivation sect stationed in the area?"
"Maybe, after all, the White Horse Temple in Luoyang is really famous."
Shangyang City belongs to Luoyang, and in Luoyang, White Horse Temple is a famous temple through the ages, with many Buddhist believers. It is said that the abbot of White Horse Temple is a Buddhist monk in the Yangshen realm.
"But the problem is, I issued an order to praise Shangyang Changshi and transferred him to serve in the imperial court. What do you think the result will be?
Li Daoxuan asked doubtfully: "Is it that the chief historian is unwilling to enter the court?"
Li Shimin showed a sneer and said: "Yes, this Zhou Chang is a Jinshi in the sixth year of Wude. He has good abilities, but he is an official fan. In order to stay in the court and serve, I don't know how much wealth he lost and how many ways he traveled. , now I take the initiative to transfer him, but he refuses in every possible way."
"When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Tai Chong, you are going to Luoyang this time, just take the opportunity to see what kind of magic power is in Shangyang City, which can make an official fan give up his future, and even dare to fight with me!"
There was a hint of murderous intent in Li Shimin's voice.
No matter what kind of power he had, if he dared to reach out to a court official, this would undoubtedly touch his bottom line.
"promise!"
Li Daoxuan bowed and saluted, and then prepared to leave.
At this time, Li Shimin, who had been so domineering just now, suddenly stopped him, with a hint of trepidation on his face.
"Um...Taichong, you were born in Longhu Mountain and are good at refining alchemy. I wonder if you can have that kind of elixir?"
Li Daoxuan was a little confused and said: "What kind?"
Li Shimin coughed and said: "It's the kind of elixir that can make people become more energetic and stronger, and practice swordplay non-stop at night."
Li Daoxuan reacted for a while before he understood what His Majesty meant.
His eyes were a little strange, and then he thought of the dignified and beautiful Empress Changsun, and then thought of His Majesty's many concubines, and he felt relieved.
Sure enough, the emperor is not that easy to be...
Li Dao One pill will surely make dragons roar and tigers roar!
He specifically emphasized that it was the proud work of his uncle Wu Dabao.
At this time, Queen Changsun came with fruits. It seemed that the two had been chatting for too long. She was worried that they were thirsty, so she specially brought washed fruits.
Li Shimin stepped forward suddenly, quickly put the bottle of medicine into his arms, and said: "Taichong, you are too polite, why are you giving me the health elixir? I am a strong man, so I don't need it!"
While rereading the word "health maintenance", he quietly gave Li Daoxuan a thumbs up.
Some people died, but not completely...
