Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

As for the Tianchi witch, she is actually not willing to provoke Zhu Wuneng.

It was not that he was afraid of Zhu Wuneng, but that he was afraid of the Great Ci'en Temple behind Zhu Wuneng, or to be more clear, he was afraid of Tripitaka Tathagata.

Based on her own behavior, she had actually anticipated this day. But since Master Tripitaka realized the Tathagata in Chang'an, he only went to Beiju Luzhou, and there was no sign of going out. Moreover, those who subdued demons and exterminated demons in the Tang Dynasty fell into the hands of the Xuanjia Army and bad people. This led to many demons, including her, being lucky.

After all, when facing different opponents, the pressure brought to them is also different.

Take Tianchi Witch for example, even if Xue Rengui and Yuan Tiangang are present in person, she is confident that she can deal with it. Especially when facing Yuan Tiangang, at worst, she will surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Her ancestor Xuan Ming, the great god, was once As an auxiliary minister of Emperor Zhuanxu, he was well-known in the three realms. It was not a bad idea for him, an incompetent descendant, to serve Li Shimin, the "quasi-human king".

If the other party can really achieve the feat of "King of Enlightenment", then he might also leave his name in the history and become a good story.

Especially some time ago, when Yuan Tiangang came to Changbai Mountain and only taught the five immortals a lesson, but did not come to look for her, this gave her an illusion.

She would think that this was a sign that Yuan Tiangang was recruiting for her. To deal with the five immortal families would be to shake the mountain and sway the tiger; secondly, Yuan Tiangang was not sure of defeating her head-on.

I want to use this method to make myself surrender.

This gave the Tianchi witch an illusion that the bad guys would be responsible for what happened in Changbai Mountain and would not attract Master Tripitaka from Daci'en Temple.

Generally speaking, there is a tacit understanding between several institutions in the Tang Dynasty that are capable of dealing with these monsters and monsters.

Generally speaking, areas such as Changbai Mountain where Yuan Tiangang took the lead, such as the Xuanjia Army, the Tang Academy, the Zhongnan Mountain Taoist League, and even the Buddhist forces headed by the Daci'en Temple will basically no longer take the initiative to involve in.

Since the Tianchi witch also wanted to join the Tang Dynasty, she always pretended to be indifferent. She just wanted to wait for a price and sell it. However, Yuan Tiangang did not wait for him, but he waited for Zhu Wuneng.

I have to say, some things are just so coincidental.

As the delinquent commander Yuan Tiangang, he can almost be called the busiest person in the entire Tang Dynasty. Whether it is coordinating the operation of the entire delinquent group or dealing with the demons and mountain spirits in the Tang Dynasty, even if he cannot do everything himself, then You must also ask in person.

responsibility.

This is actually the quality that Li Shimin values ​​most in him.

But Li Chunfeng will have a different view. He believes that Yuan Tiangang's behavior has gone beyond the scope of responsibility to a certain extent, but is a "desire for control."

Li Shimin didn't care about this. As long as he was around, Yuan Tiangang's desire for control could only be a sense of responsibility and be transformed into extremely high efficiency. This was a good thing.

With such a capable and loyal subordinate, Li Shimin was certainly not happy enough, so how could he be afraid of Yuan Tiangang?

Li Shimin believed in one sentence: the more outstanding and great an emperor is, the more capable civil servants, military officers, and even today's "practitioners" will be under his command.

Even if he is a treacherous minister, Li Shimin uses his own methods to make him shine in the most suitable position.

Moreover, this kind of person is the least psychological burden for Li Shimin to use. And these treacherous people have to live cautiously under Li Shimin, because once they touch Li Shimin's bottom line, they may be no longer relevant to Li Shimin. If they have the desired effect, then they have no doubt that this wise Majesty will kick them away mercilessly.

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

It is said that a country is easy to change but its nature is hard to change. Li Shimin also felt very sorry for those ministers who were capable but evil in nature. If they could not manage themselves, Li Shimin would not mind managing them for them.

With an Emperor's Sword hanging over their heads, they had no choice but to restrain those thoughts that they shouldn't have.

If it were in the past, they could still pretend to be treacherous and loyal to deceive the emperor, but since Zeng Zi passed down Haoran's righteousness, they can no longer pretend to be righteous, because Haoran's righteousness will not recognize their hearts.

If you force it, it will be counterattacked by Haoran's righteousness.

Therefore, for today's emperors, one of the best ways to identify loyalties and traitors is to see whether the other party can cultivate "Haoran Righteousness".

Of course, the words cannot be said so absolutely.

After all, there are a large number of literati who study and cultivate their minds, not to be loyal to a certain country or a certain king. They intend to care for all people, establish a heart for the world, and seek peace for all generations, and they can also be recognized by Haoran's righteousness.

And for such a person, even if he was not loyal to the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin still had to treat him with courtesy.

Similarly, there are many ministers who are not recognized by Haoran Zhengqi, and their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty can be learned from the sun and the moon.

Just like Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, the two of them were born in Taoism, but they also have their own unique understanding of Confucian classics. But can we say that they have not understood the righteousness of Haoran, so do we doubt their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty?

The two can support each other, but they are by no means the basis for judging the composition of the other. As a king, you still have to have your own set of considerations when recognizing and employing people.

For Yuan Tiangang, Changbai Mountain is obviously not an imminent matter. He does not want to alarm the Tianchi Witch. In addition to not being able to figure out the details of the other party, on the other hand, he also has a lot of things on his hands. Since the Tianchi Witch is now Guarding Tianchi, one-third of an acre of land, did not disturb the people in the Changbai Mountain area too much, so Yuan Tiangang was not willing to cause trouble.

Whether it is the Temple of the True Lord or a bad person, things must be done one by one. If things pile up and things are rushed, it will undoubtedly affect the efficiency of work, and Yang Jian cannot accept this. The same is true for Yuan Tiangang.

From this point of view, in fact, the two of them have somewhat similar ways of doing things. While focusing on efficiency, they also strive to do things perfectly.

This is one of the reasons why the Jade Emperor and Li Shimin respectively entrusted them with important responsibilities.

In fact, Yuan Tiangang doesn't care what the Tianchi witch thinks. He even said that if the Tianchi witch remains silent, maybe Yuan Tiangang will forget her.

As for taking the initiative to recruit her, that is absolutely impossible. Yuan Tiangang doesn't have the leisure to do so.

Today is different from the past. Nowadays, the number of bad people has long been established. It is no longer the time when Yuan Tiangang was needed to go around and recruit people to join the gang.

Especially "Wizards" like "Tianchi Witch", who are not aware of current affairs and are difficult to fully control, are actually ranked at the bottom of Yuan Tiangang's priority.

On the contrary, ethnic groups like the Five Great Immortals are the most favored by Yuan Tiangang. After all, if an organization wants to maintain its consistent vitality, it must have a steady stream of young blood to replenish it, otherwise everyone will learn to "live with the light". "Dust" will inevitably turn into a pool of stagnant water over time.

Bad people are like this, and the Tang Dynasty court is even more like this. Li Shimin designated "cultivating talents" as a basic national policy, which shows that he also grasped this very keenly, so the "Datang Academy" came into being.

Li Shimin even told Master Sanzang that even if the Tang Dynasty dies one day, the Tang Academy will definitely be passed down. But at that time, the name of the Tang Academy will probably be changed.

Fahai also deeply agreed.

Yuan Tiangang knew about Zen Master Wu Neng's coming to Changbai Mountain at the first time. Wherever Yuan Tiangang went, he would definitely leave behind traces of bad people, and use this as a way to develop bad people. cornerstone of the ministry.

Although the power of bad people in the Changbai Mountain area is still very weak today, the most basic function of delivering information is a task that needs to be perfected first.

In this regard, Yuan Tiangang instructed the bad guys to keep silent and not to interfere with the other party's behavior in Changbai Mountain unless Zen Master Wu Neng was in danger in Changbai Mountain.

This is true, but Yuan Tiangang is not worried about the safety of Zen Master Wu Neng. Instead, he has paid three breaths of silence for the Tianchi Witch.

As the saying goes, those who are near the water and towers get the moon first. As a close minister of Li Shimin and a descendant of the Taoist lineage, Yuan Tiangang could often get along with several of the Tripitaka Saint Buddhas.

They are all practitioners, plus his uncle Yuan Shoucheng and Xiao Bailong's uncle Jinghe Dragon King have a past together.

In the beginning, the relationship between the two parties was not very good. Master Sanzang and his disciples were reasonable and knew about the Jinghe Dragon King. They actually had no blame on Yuan Shoucheng, so they did not make things too difficult for Yuan Tiangang.

After the two sides discussed each other, or in other words, after a contest, the matter was resolved.

Similarly, this also allowed Yuan Tiangang to truly see the strength of Tripitaka's masters and disciples, and knew that as long as Tripitaka Tathagata was alive and Li Shimin was supported by this true Buddha, his ambition to be a "human king" would definitely not be a mirror image.

Yuan Tiangang was born in Taoism, but his work was still in human affairs, not Taoism as known to the public, which is so aloof. After he recognized this fact clearly, he immediately made a decision, that is, he would devote all his life to Help Li Shimin achieve his wish.

And it is unknown that he might be able to assist the King of Ren in his enthronement and achieve his own path, thereby revitalizing the Ren sect and becoming the mainstream of Taoism.

In fact, it is still for the sake of orthodoxy.

But for a Taoist disciple, it is the most normal and top priority. It is precisely because Li Shimin knew this that he was so reassured about Yuan Tiangang. The two of them, the emperor and the minister, were destined to complement each other and achieve each other's success.

No joke, if one day I get tired and don’t want to go on the road to the Human King, then the first person who can’t accept it must be Yuan Tiangang. Even if Yuan Tiangang turns evil because of this, Li Shimin will not accept it. It will feel like there is no surprise at all.

And Li Shimin naturally would not let down these ministers.

Of course Tianchi Witch didn't know Yuan Tiangang's attitude towards the Changbai Mountain incident, but she didn't dwell too much on it.

After all, Yuan Tiangang had left Changbai Mountain a long time ago and had no intention of contacting her. Now she had to face Zhu Wuneng, the second disciple of Sanzang Sect from Daci'en Temple.

Tianchi Witch's heart is definitely not as calm as she appears now. She is thinking about ways to break the situation.

It would be false to say that she did not regret not choosing to show her favor to Yuan Tiangang. Even if it was not finalized at that time, the two parties just met and talked about it. She now had something to say when she met Zhu Wuneng.

But because of a single thought on his part, things took a completely different direction.

The black dragon's mood was already a little unstable. Even with the Tianchi witch suppressing him, the naturally stubborn black dragon obviously had some fearlessness in him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to say anything about killing Zhu Bajie.

Killing Zhu Bajie is obviously unrealistic. Even Tianchi Witch herself is not sure that she can succeed.

The Tianchi witch's brows gradually furrowed. After thinking hard to no avail, she asked Hongyangzi again, "How did he kill you?"

Hong Yangzi had already thought about how to answer. When he heard the Tianchi witch's question, he immediately showed an extremely resentful look, "I have fallen into that Zhu Bajie's plan!"

"Humph!"

As he spoke, Hong Yangzi snorted angrily, "If the pig demon hadn't attacked Pindao secretly, Pindao wouldn't have been killed within three moves."

"Three moves!"

At this time, even Heijiao became more energetic. Just as Hongyangzi knew Heijiao's abilities, Heijiao also knew a little bit about Hongyangzi's Taoism. To be fair, let alone himself, even if the master took action, he would not be able to do anything. Maybe within three moves, Hong Yangzi could be finished.

Black Jiao used himself and his master as a reference, and looked at Hongyangzi with a bit of scrutiny. He thought Hongyangzi was exaggerating, and he did not believe that Zhu Wu could have such strength.

Hongyangzi selectively ignored the black dragon's gaze. This guy was obviously not very bright. If he had a dispute with him, he would be the unlucky one.

Because I will definitely not be able to convince him, but will make him angry and get a fist in exchange.

There is a smart person here. As long as the other party believes it, that's enough.

"Sneak attack?" These are all hints that come to your lips. Of course Tianchi Witch will not ignore them. "How can he sneak attack you?"

In fact, it is not just the black dragon. Due to the information asymmetry, Tianchi Witch actually does not know the true strength of Tripitaka and his disciples. In her estimation, Tripitaka and Sun Wukong are higher than her, but She really didn't realize how capable the remaining three disciples were, especially this Zhu Bajie.

"He first knocked on the door of Pindao's house, saying that he was a passing monk who wanted to stay overnight and ask for some food. Then when Pindao opened the door, he suddenly killed him. Pindao was unprepared for a moment and fell into his plot. "

"hateful!"

The black dragon on the side heard this and immediately said angrily: "What a despicable and shameless monk!"

Bajie:.
