The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 638 Zhao Guizhen... Returns

Daming Palace, Nine Heavens Temple.

Despite the distance, the aftermath of the battle between Thor and Vulcan spread to the vicinity of the Temple of Nine Heavens.

However, he didn't know whether he didn't see it, or simply didn't want to care about it. Li Yan, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the Nine Heavens Altar, still closed his eyes tightly, ignoring the external noises.

At this moment, Zhao Guizhen, whose Yuanshen was outside all the time, suddenly opened his eyes.

"His Majesty……"

Zhao Gui really summoned Li Yan who had been trying to "sedate" without any accident, causing him to show a displeased expression.

"What's the matter, love?"

But fortunately Li Yan is not some moody tyrant, even though he was a little annoyed that Zhao Guizhen was getting bolder, he still held back his emotions and asked in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, there are monsters making trouble in Chang'an at this moment, and I hope that Your Majesty will give me permission to go out of the palace."

Here, Zhao Guizhen didn't mention the thing that he just got out of his body.

Because he knew very well that his current behavior had already disobeyed the king's heart, and once he mentioned this point, I'm afraid Li Yan would not let him go.

"Monsters make trouble? Isn't that something that Qin Tianjian is responsible for?"

And the development of the matter was indeed as Zhao Guizhen expected, Li Yan had no intention of letting Zhao Guizhen go at all.

"Aiqing, you have to understand your own responsibilities!"

"You are already the national teacher who assists me in cultivating immortality and longevity, not the wandering Taoist priest who subjugated demons and demons before..."

Speaking of this, Li Yan deliberately paused, and then reminded him quite annoyed.

"I have suppressed the impeachment of many courtiers for you. Even if Qin Tianjian was supported by you, you have to consider Deng Yuanqi's concerns now."

Half of what Li Yan said at the moment was the truth, and the other half was that he did not want Zhao Guizhen, the national teacher, to become more influential.

Just like those courtiers who are afraid of Zhao Guizhen, Li Yan is also worried that Zhao Guizhen has too much power, which is big enough to affect the situation inside and outside the court.

In fact, this is also the reason why Li Yanming knew that someone in the court was deliberately trying to trick Zhao Guizhen, but he pretended not to know anything.

The so-called "Emperor's Heart Technique", even if Li Yan trusted Zhao Guizhen, he would never allow the other party's power and prestige to expand enough to affect him.

"Your Majesty, this matter is different from the past, and I am afraid that it cannot be resolved with the ability of Qin Tianjian."

Hearing Zhao Guizhen's conceited statement, Li Yan was really unhappy this time——Qin Tianjian is a force he cultivated with hard work, and denying it is equivalent to denying all previous efforts?

"The national teacher's words are wrong. Although Deng Yuanqi is not as strong as the national teacher, a few demons can still deal with it."

Although Li Yan doesn't have any talent for cultivation, he is quite accurate in judging people.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen Luofu Taoist Deng Yuanqi among the Taoist priests recommended by Zhao Guizhen.

"Or, in Aiqing's heart, my longevity is no better than a few monsters?"

As soon as Li Yan said this, Zhao Guizhen didn't say anything, but the expressions of several Taoist priests standing in other directions of the Nine Heavens Altar changed greatly.

"Your Majesty, the national teacher has absolutely no such intention!"

"Master, why don't you apologize to His Majesty?!"

"Your Majesty, the national teacher just said something unintentionally..."

"Your Majesty's way of longevity is definitely not comparable to a few demons..."

……

Or exhort, or enlighten, or explain...

These Taoist priests who are qualified to stand at the Nine Heavens Temple are not the combat monks of the Qin Tianjian, but genuine Taoist masters who are innate and even Yinshen level.

The most important thing is that in addition to cultivation, these Taoist priests know the true meaning of power and tactics, and they don't seem to be outsiders with so much scheming and thinking.

No matter how much these Taoists can't get used to Zhao Guizhen, who is only favored by the emperor, they have to admit that it is because of his existence that Taoism has returned to its peak after the "mad monks chaotic law".

So even in view of the imminent rise of the Taoist lineage, these old Taoists did not want Zhao Guizhen to have any conflicts with Li Yan at this time.

"Longevity?"

However, in the face of Zhao Guizhen who had secretly made up his mind, their persuasion was as powerless as a praying man's arms blocking a car.

"Since ancient times, how many sages and immortals have longed for longevity? But how many of them really live forever?"

In the increasingly angry expression of Emperor Li Yan, Zhao Guizhen walked down the Nine Heavens Altar, stared at the side hall of Taiji Palace and said softly.

"If Your Majesty really believes in Pindao, with Pindao's supernatural powers, it is not impossible to assist His Majesty for a few more years..."

With a deep sigh, Zhao Guizhen didn't know if he was really heartbroken by Li Yan's various actions, but he unceremoniously pointed out the truth that the other party had been "ignoring" all along.

"But good advice is always hard to hear."

"Your Majesty has always thought that Pindao refused to teach you the real method of longevity, but he forgot that Pindao told you the first time we met..."

"Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Honor. It is against the destiny to achieve longevity. The more you pursue longevity, the easier it is for evil to take advantage of you."

When he said this, Zhao Guizhen unabashedly glared at a shameful old man next to him.

"Longevity lies in cultivating the mind. As long as your Majesty's mind is not calm for a day, the more you practice the art of collecting and nourishing pills, the easier it will be to go astray."

In fact, Zhao Guizhen knew from the very beginning that Li Yan was concealing the fact that he also practiced other Taoist secret arts, and even knew who secretly taught him.

But Zhao Guizhen never cared about these messy things, just like he never cared about what Emperor Li Yan thought of him.

"Zhao Guizhen!!! Do you still want to be a national teacher?!"

It seemed that Zhao Guizhen's words had stabbed him in pain, and it was the first time that Li Yan roared in such an out-of-control manner.

"National Division?"

"I have never regarded myself as a national teacher, so how can I say whether I want to be or not?"

Back then, the reason why Zhao Guizhen was willing to enter the court as an official was just to fulfill his promise and take on the mission of revitalizing Taoism by the way.

20 years of bearing the burden of humiliation, 20 years of intrigue, 20 years of losing ambition...

But now, whether Zhao Guizhen is willing to admit it or not, he has failed.

"Your Majesty, you and I have been together for 20 years..."

"I have been assisting and teaching you since you were King Ying, and let me teach you the last lesson today!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Guizhen abruptly took off the robe of the national teacher on his body, revealing the Taoist robe inlaid with golden rusty talismans.

"The way of practice lies in sincerity, while the art of the emperor requires carefulness. The two fundamentally have irreconcilable contradictions."

This is the Zhao Guizhen that Li Yan has never seen before, and he is also the number one master in the world who is truly invincible all over the world.

"Li Yan, you have never been suitable for cultivation!"

So far...

The national teacher of the Tang Dynasty——Zhao Guizhen disappeared, replaced by the former evil star of Taoism——Zhao Guizhen.
