The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 650
"Cross the sea of ​​bitterness and come to the other side..."

Staring at the golden body that is merging with the Tathagata Dharma, Zhao Guizhen knew that Monk Huiji was only a step away from reaching the realm that his master used to be - the other shore.

It is different from the Yangshen realm of "heaven, earth, ghosts and gods with self-awareness" pursued by Taoism.

The other side of Buddhism is to regard oneself as the incarnation of Buddha in the secular world, and it is also an extension of the concept of "Buddha" in the human world.

Leaving aside which of the two is better, Zhao Guizhen only knows that when the flawless golden body of the monk Huiji is completely integrated with the Tathagata Dharma, he will become a "true Buddha" who has truly descended into the mortal world.

At that time, the two will be regarded as opponents who are truly on the same level.

"Sorry, it seems I can't keep my hand."

It was the first time that Zhao Guizhen regarded Huiji as an equal-level opponent, and Zhao Guizhen's face instantly became serious, and the distraction that filled the sky also revealed a majestic and solemn aura.

rumbling...

In an instant, the color of the sky and the earth changed, the vitality rioted, and even the brilliance of the sun, moon and stars dimmed at this moment...

Daming Palace, Nine Heavens Temple.

"Your Majesty, I'm waiting for help!"

The members of the Qin Tianjian headed by Deng Yuanqi surrounded the entire Nine Heavens Altar, and cooperated with several old Taoists around Li Yan to block the aftermath of Hui Ji and Zhao Guizhen from the periphery.

However, to everyone's surprise, Li Yan, the current monarch of the Tang Dynasty, who was hailed as Tang Wuzong by later generations, is surprisingly calm now.

"You say, am I really wrong?"

Even though he was at the center of the fight between the immortals, Li Yan didn't care about the outcome of the battle between Hui Ji and Zhao Guizhen, but suddenly asked a question that everyone in the room dared not answer.

Fortunately, Li Yan didn't expect anyone present to be able to answer his question, he just looked around with great interest, and the expression on his face was intriguing.

"I actually know that the national teacher has no intention of power, and I also know your own little thoughts..."

"But sitting in my position, there are some things that you have to do even if you know it."

At this moment, Li Yan no longer had the previous gaffe and anger, as if he was not the one who fell out with Zhao Guizhen.

"The superiors need to know how to check and balance. This is what the national teacher told me when we met for the first time."

"He also said that those in positions of power need to maintain a kind heart."

"It's a pity that I only remembered the first sentence, but gradually forgot my original intention back then."

Li Yan's words made Deng Yuanqi immediately lower his head, and a strong sense of uneasiness arose in his heart.

"When I was King Ying, although there were many voices of praise around me, there were also some harsh words."

"But I don't know when it started, my ears are full of boastful words, and I can't hear a word that doesn't suit my heart."

"Even the national teacher who was willing to sleep and eat with me back then chose to move to the national teacher's mansion, and would not enter the palace unless summoned by imperial decree."

When he said this, Li Yan's voice paused for a moment, and then he continued.

"I'm not reconciled!"

"Anyone in this world can look down on me, but you, Zhao Gui, can't!"

As if hearing Li Yan's curse, Zhao Guizhen, who was fighting Hui Ji, obviously paused.

"Back then you were the one who supported me to the top, and you were the one who said that the people of the world could live comfortably..."

"The result? You were the first one to abandon me again, and you didn't even want to have an open talk with me again."

There was not much hatred in the words, but everyone present could hear Li Yan's unwillingness and dissatisfaction inside and outside the words.

"Confiscating the property of Buddhist temples, ordering monks and nuns to return to secular life, limiting the number of orders, controlling the power of feudal towns, selecting talents for imperial examinations, ignoring the wishes of the aristocratic families, using the Li party to suppress the Niu party..."

"I have violated almost everything in the world over the years..."

"Well, in Huiji's words, it's the interests of 'vested interests'."

"So how can I not know how people call me inside and outside the court?"

"But I trust you and believe that you can help me realize my wish and restore peace to the people of the world."

"For this reason, I have recited names for you, and used tricks for you, but in the end you have separated from me."

When Li Yan raised his head again, the surrounding air was as silent as death, only the occasional crackling sound in the sky proved that this was not a forbidden scene.

"You said that I demanded the way of longevity and broke my original promise..."

"How do you know that I just want to fulfill my wish, so I am not willing to give up halfway like this!"

"If I can live another twenty years, no, even if I live only ten more years, I have the confidence to completely eradicate the 'maggots of the tarsus' of my Tang Dynasty."

"However, God's wish is not fulfilled. You will come to see me tonight, which probably means that I won't be able to survive tonight!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Yan suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, scaring the Taoist priests closest to him to kneel down and bow their heads.

"Your Majesty, you are..."

Before the leading Taoist could finish speaking, Li Yan suddenly got up and kicked him on the head, and cursed angrily with a ferocious expression he had never seen before.

"Shut up! You bastards!"

"Do you think I don't know your little thoughts, the position of the national teacher is something you can peek at like Xiaoxiao?!"

"Since you can't continue my life, what's the use of you?!"

"Deng Yuanqi listened to the order and helped me to kill this group of demons who have harmed the country and the people!"

In the blink of an eye, several demon hunters headed by Deng Yuanqi swung their knives forward and chopped off the heads of those old Taoist priests to the ground.

"Haha, the splendor and wealth I bestow on you is not for you to gossip in my ears all day long!"

After laughing twice, Li Yan couldn't help coughing up blood again.

But this time Li Yan just wiped the corners of his mouth indifferently, and immediately turned his attention to Deng Yuanqi who was kneeling in front of him again.

"Deng Yuanqi, you are a monk that I personally selected and trained, and you are also the cornerstone of the entire Qin Tianjian."

"As long as you are here, even if I am doomed tonight, the Qin Tianjian will never let go of any evil spirits who intend to bring disaster to the world..."

"You understand!"

"My subordinate understands!"

Responding to Li Yan's order with forceful words, Deng Yuanqi lowered his head sadly.

"That's good! The friendship between you and my monarch is much stronger than that smelly Taoist priest Zhao Guizhen."

A faint smile filled Li Yan's voice, and in this silent smile, he gave Deng Yuanqi his last order as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"I know that my sons are a bunch of waste, and they are powerless to stop the collapse of the building."

"So after tonight, you will personally go to the Temple of Mercy with my imperial decree to welcome back my 'ignorant' emperor uncle."

"If anyone in the palace dares to obstruct you, you can go to Ma Yuanzhi, he knows what to do."

"In addition, Prime Minister Li Deyu is capable of ministering to the country, but he is also the leader of the party struggle. After my death, I will save his life."

After saying that, Li Yan finally took a deep breath.

"As the saying goes, deep love will not live long, and wisdom will hurt extremely."

"I didn't expect that I would call myself the son of destiny, but I would not be able to escape this end of overwork and depression."
