Datang unsigned for six years, only to know that it is Journey to the West

Chapter 224 In case of indecision, Li Zhi asks for a sign 【Please subscribe and ask for a monthly ticket】

Inside the Daming Palace, people passing by the Taoist temple were all dumbfounded.

They all had shocked faces and shocking eyes.

"Could it be that fairy?"

"The immortal of Yunyuan Mountain is him, it is really him, and he is the one enshrined in my family."

"Meet the immortal, greet the immortal."

Many people knelt down in Ulala, and some guards who heard the news also knelt down.

Although there has been no news of Su Chen for more than two years, his position in the hearts of ordinary people in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty is still irreplaceable.

Even if many people believe in Buddhism, they still respect Su Chen very much.

Jin Wang Li Zhi also knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Little Wang Li Zhi, I pay my respects to Master Tianshi."

Su Chen said: "Get up."

He didn't have a deep impression of Li Zhi, and he didn't follow Li Shimin to Yunyuan Mountain several times.

Li Zhi got up quickly, looking very excited, "Master Tianshi, you are out of the customs, I am finally looking forward to your release."

Su Chen announced to the public that he was the one who retreated.

Many people are unaware.

Su Chen said: "What is His Highness King Jin looking forward to doing this time?"

Li Zhi said hastily: "Xiao Wang actually has something undecided, and he wants to ask Master Tianshi for a lottery."

Su Chen nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk after entering the meditation."

Li Zhi was ecstatic.

He didn't expect Su Chen to be so easy to talk to.

He was still nervous at first, but Su Chen was so easy to talk, which made him more courageous.

Hurry up and order people to prepare things for offerings, and at the same time suppress the news, try not to let more people know that Su Chen has left the customs so quickly.

but.

Too late.

There is no way to hide news in the palace.

In the Taoist temple, after seeing Su Chen, many Taoists were a little excited and knelt down to greet him.

Su Chen is the leader of the Taoist sect, a land god, and a role model for countless Taoists.

He is also the true master of the Royal Taoist Temple, so he is naturally deeply loved.

Many people will come here to become monks, and they all come here for him.

Princess Li Lizhi also appeared, and she looked even more refined with her hair tied up.

She was wearing a Taoist robe, but it didn't look loose, and she could still see the outline of her beautiful figure.

Li Lizhi bowed to Su Chen, "Changle pays homage to Master Tianshi."

Su Chen said: "There is no need to be too polite, I never thought that the princess is really a sincere person, and she can really calm down and practice here."

Li Lizhi said distressedly: "It's just a pity, Changle's talent is average, so far he hasn't cultivated anything yet."

Su Chen shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's okay, the poor can help you."

Li Lizhi was overjoyed, "Is Changle able to practice with Master Tianshi?"

Su Chen said: "No, I will practice the formulas and mental methods for you, and then I will give you some elixir to help you practice. It will be no problem for you to become a mortal in the future."

Then he really recited the mantra silently, and taught Li Lizhi the practice method "Heavenly Immortal Jue" through sound transmission, and took out a few ordinary panacea from the Qiankun bag.

The spirit pill has some effects of washing tendons and cutting marrow, and some effects of increasing divine power.

For many disciples of his level and even Yunyuan Mountain, it has no effect.

but.

For ordinary people, even grand masters, it is a good thing that needs to be smashed.

Li Zhi and many Taoists saw it, and were a little jealous.

Li Lizhi naturally knew the preciousness of elixir. Although she couldn't follow Su Chen's side, it was her dream to be able to cultivate Taoism and become a fairy.

Hurry up and eat the elixir, this thing is yours if you eat it, otherwise you will have long nights and dreams.

After eating, Li Lizhi quickly found a place to practice.

She felt that she was about to break through.

Su Chen chose a good quiet room in the Taoist temple, and soon someone brought melons and fruit tributes, wine and tea.

The Taoist priests in the royal Taoist temples are not taboo about meat and vegetables, and they eat wine and meat as they like.

Su Chen didn't care about this either, so he simply ate meat and drank heavily, and only drank tea to relieve his boredom after eating and drinking.

at this time.

There were already people standing outside the door, and only Su Chen, Yuan Tiangang, and Li Zhi were in the quiet room.

Yuan Tiangang was fine, he knew Su Chen very well, and he did things in a slow and slow manner.

It is this stable character.

Li Zhi was a little uneasy, because he was worried that others would know what he wanted to ask.

Besides asking for the lottery, Li Zhi also wanted to take the opportunity to set up a relationship with Su Chen. If he could get Su Chen's support, the world would be settled.

Su Chen took a sip of tea before he had time to take a look at Li Zhi.

Without waiting for Li Zhi to open his mouth, he said, "His Royal Highness King Jin is very prestigious in the Daming Palace. Thousands of miles away from the decision, my Taoist school has no place to stand in the Tang Dynasty!"

thump!
Li Zhi knelt down directly.

He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, the future outer sage and inner king was panicked and panicked at this moment.

Li Zhi was startled and said: "Master Tianshi, why did you say that, Xiao Wang is terrified."

Su Chen said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Jin Wang doesn't have to be so polite, the poor are just ordinary people, and I can't afford you to bow down like this."

Li Zhi was really scared.

He kowtowed and said, "Master Tianshi is a land god, the patron saint of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention Xiao Wang's kneeling, even if Xiao Wang sacrificed his head, it's fine."

Su Chen said, "The poor don't kill people."

Then he said: "However, His Royal Highness Jin Wang can't persecute my Taoist school so tightly."

Li Zhi was panicked, and said: "Master Tianshi, why did you say that, Xiao Wang has always respected the Tao, and he must burn incense and pray every day, and read the Tao Te Ching once."

As he spoke, he began to recite the Tao Te Ching.

But when I read it, I feel a little dry and stuttering at the same time.

Although Li Zhi had a photographic memory, he hadn't read the Tao Te Ching for a long time. Under the strong pressure, his mind went blank.

Really, I can't read it.

Just kowtow.

Su Chen said: "Okay, His Royal Highness King Jin, get up, I'm just joking with you."

Li Zhi didn't dare to get up.

After thinking about it, he knew what was going on.

Quickly said: "Master Tianshi, as the ruling king, Xiao Wang has no time to discuss countermeasures with the ministers. Now that the Tang Dynasty is under the rule, there are many temples, all because of my brother."

"What he likes to do most on weekdays is to study and make friends with great Confucians, and then to make friends with Dharma masters by reciting scriptures."

Su Chen said, "Is it Li Tai?"

Su Chen called him by his first name, which made Li Zhi ecstatic.

But he nodded in embarrassment, and said: "But that's just the character of the fourth brother. He actually didn't mean anything malicious."

Su Chen has an exquisite heart, so he can tell at a glance whether Li Zhi is lying.

Li Zhi at this time, even if he has [-] minds, don't try to hide it from him.

In fact, Li Zhi lied.

It is true that Li Tai has no white contacts, but all contacts with great Confucians and eminent monks.

but.

He, Li Zhi, didn't give up too much, both of them crazily wooed everyone in the Buddhist sect, and even led to the fact that the Buddhist sect is now divided into two factions.

One is the Shoucheng sect of Buddhism supported by Li Tai, which represents the interests of most Buddhist sects. They advocate to continue to open more temples in the Tang Dynasty and recruit more disciples.

There is also the Buddhist scripture learning school advocated by Li Zhi. Li Zhi and Xuanzang are already close friends, and the two often exchange Buddhism.

Xuanzang advocated going to the Western Paradise to learn scriptures, but whether the scriptures in the Western Paradise are better than those in the Tang Dynasty is not conclusive.

Moreover, the road was extremely dangerous, so the two of them only advocated and did not take action.

but.

It is undeniable that both Li Tai and Li Zhi tried their best to win over Buddhists.

And the two have one thing in common, that is, to win over people from the Buddhist sect, and not to offend people from the Taoist sect.

But they don't participate in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.

This also led to the fact that Buddhism squeezed Taoism to the right, and there was no room for survival. After all, Taoism has nothing to do, and Buddhism has the wrath of Vajra.

The two sides seem to be indisputable, but Buddhism has never stopped expanding.

Daoist inaction is true inaction.

Su Chen saw through Li Zhi's thoughts and knew that he was lying, but he didn't expose it.

Since ancient times, there is no simple person in the emperor's family.

If Li Zhi can become an emperor in the future, he will not be a noob.

Li Zhi didn't want to get too entangled in this matter, and more and more people outside asked to see Su Chen, so he hurriedly asked for a lottery.

"Master Tianshi, Xiao Wang has something unclear, can I ask?"

Su Chen said, "What's the matter?"

Li Zhi turned his head frequently, signaling that there was someone outside the door, but he didn't dare to say so.

Su Chen said: "There is already a formation in the quiet room, and the things here will not be passed on to everyone."

to this end.

Yuan Tiangang went out, and he wanted to appease the people who came to see him.

In the quiet room, only Su Chen and Li Zhi were left.

This made Li Zhi feel more at ease, and thanked him again and again.

After hesitating for a while, Li Zhidao: "Xiao Wang was appointed as the confidential minister of the Tang Dynasty by his father before the battle, in charge of all the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty. And the fourth brother Li Tai was appointed as the Minister of Supervision of the Tang Dynasty, in charge of all the supervision of the Tang Dynasty. The main duty is to monitor Xiao Wang."

Su Chen said nothing.

Li Zhi continued: "Ahem, Xiao Wang has ruled the country for two years. He thinks that he has made no mistakes, and he can only manage the Tang Dynasty in an orderly manner. Now that the Tang Dynasty has been singing and dancing, it can provide support for the front line, and the people inside can live and work in peace and contentment. It can be regarded as indispensable.”

Su Chen chuckled.

Li Zhi said again: "And the crown prince has been vacant for more than two years, logically it is not Xiao Wang's turn, and Xiao Wang shouldn't have the heart to covet it."

He raised his head suddenly, with a domineering look in his eyes.

He pondered and said: "However, Xiao Wang is not a mediocre person, and even today, he has to fight for the position of crown prince. I just don't know how much chance the crown prince has after Father returns."

Su Chen nodded, he understood Li Zhi's situation, he just wanted to be the prince, but he didn't know what would happen.

No wonder Yuan Tiangang didn't dare to count on him, it was a matter of losing his head.

However, he is not afraid.

He took out a bamboo tube, handed it over, and said, "Let's draw lots first!"

Li Zhi was overjoyed, took the bamboo tube and shook it.

There are still words in the mouth.

"My son, Li Zhi, shouldn't have coveted the position of prince, but the fourth brother and many people think that I am fighting for the position, and I have to fight. Looking at the world, it seems that there is no one else in the royal family of the Tang Dynasty except me. The right person. Therefore, Li Zhi dared the disapproval of the world and asked his ancestors to clarify, what is the good or bad of the crown prince's struggle!"
