Brother Kong Xuan

Chapter 340, Jin Ling: What does King Tang want to do?
"Ling'er, this Lingyin Temple will be handed over to you from now on."

In the abbot's courtyard of Lingyin Temple, Lingbao Mountain, Tongtian, who looked very old and about to pass away at any moment, spoke to Jin Ling, who was standing in front of him with his palms clasped together and his head lowered to listen.

"Master..."

The corners of his lips trembled slightly, and Jin Ling raised his head with slightly red eyes, meeting Tongtian's gaze.

"Lingyin Temple is too big. I am afraid that I will damage your reputation. Please hold on and teach me for a little longer."

Looking at the mentor who had nurtured him for more than a decade, Jin Ling felt really sad.

"Silly child, what is there to be sad about?"

Looking at the sad look of his disciple, Tongtian just waved to Jin Ling with a slight smile in the corner of his eyes.

"Everyone is destined to die. Although my body has passed away here, my will lives on in you, isn't it?"

"You are good in every way except that you are too human. How can you achieve perfection in your practice?"

"Perhaps, this is why the Buddha is above and the disciples are below..."

……

"Shimin pays homage to Emperor Sui Ming."

Inside an ancient imperial palace, Li Shimin looked rather restrainedly at Suiren, who was casually leaning on the bed, and bowed respectfully.

For this Human Emperor who gave humanity the concept of home and country for the first time and led humanity through the most difficult times, all Human Emperors of all generations, including Fuxi, have maintained sufficient respect for Suiren.

Of course, his current cultivation level of the quasi-saint peak is truly worthy of respect.

"I wonder if Emperor Sui has come to give you any instructions?"

After that, Li Shimin continued to ask Suiren.

To be honest, looking at Suiren in front of him, Li Shimin was a little panicked.

Well, Li Shimin is very scared now.

After all, Li Shimin knew very well that his position as the Emperor was not obtained in a glorious way.

Therefore, Li Shimin was afraid that Suiren would come this time to punish him.

Really, how history books record me is not that important at this moment.

If the Huoyun Cave directly punished him, Li Shimin would really not be able to bear it.

Well, Huoyun Cave only needs to come up with a name, and then you will see that everyone in the world will definitely rebel.

"What are you afraid of? Since ancient times, there have been many people who have obtained the position more crookedly than you. The Fire Cloud Cave does not look at the process, but only at the result. Since you sit on this seat, you are the emperor of mankind. As long as you do not bring disaster to the human race, no one will blame you."

Looking at Li Shimin in front of him, Suiren smiled helplessly and spoke to comfort Li Shimin.

"Shimin's ugly appearance made Emperor Sui laugh."

In response, Li Shimin just laughed dryly and whispered to Suiren.

"I came here this time because I have something for you to do."

Standing up, Suiren walked in front of Li Shimin and spoke to him with a serious expression.

"Please give instructions, Emperor Sui."

Seeing Suiren's serious look, Li Shimin almost subconsciously straightened his back.

Deep down, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Anything that can make Emperor Sui Ming take it so seriously must be a very important matter in the fairy world.

Maybe, all the saints are involved.

It would be great if I could play an extremely important role in this incident!

"There is a mountain in Jizhou, named Lingbao Mountain. On the mountain there is a temple, named Lingyin Temple. The first abbot of Lingyin Temple was the incarnation of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun. Now he has passed away and passed the position of abbot to his disciple, Xuanzang."

"This Master Xuanzang..."

After blinking a little confusedly, Li Shimin continued to look at Suiren.

Li Shimin's intuition told him that Master Xuanzang must be an extraordinary person.

Otherwise, why didn't Lingbao Tianzun come to teach me?
Well, Li Shimin no longer cares whether there is a Lingbao Mountain in Jizhou.

It’s really interesting. Even the saint has come in person, and you are still worried about the name of the mountain?
"Master Xuanzang is the tenth reincarnation of my master Jin Ling."

In this regard, Suiren naturally spoke to Li Shimin without hiding anything.

"Martial Ancestor is here in person?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin subconsciously licked his lips, his eyes full of eagerness to try.

Sure enough, my chance has come!
"What do you need Shimin to do?"

With such thoughts in mind, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little dry-mouthed as he continued to ask Suiren.

"My master wants to become the most eminent monk in the Tang Dynasty."

In response to this, Suiren said to Li Shimin without any hesitation.

Well, it’s different from the original time and space where the West and China sent Li Shimin to the underworld.

This time, it was Suiren, the founder of Huoyun Cave, who made the Tang Emperor cooperate with the journey to the west.

As for why not use that method?
The reason is simple, the laws of heaven do not allow it.

Yes, even if Jin Ling entered the world, no one was willing to violate the Heavenly Law and gamble on whether Jin Ling would be held accountable after his return.

Therefore, everyone is very restrained when doing something.

Even if the time comes when you really have to violate the Heavenly Law, you can still let the mount do it. Just let the mount do it.

The main goal is to control the losses within an acceptable range.

Even a saint is unwilling to break this constraint.

After all, such a world is pretty good in the eyes of the saints.

"Emperor Sui, perhaps there are some things that Shimin should not ask, but Shimin still wants to ask you, Emperor Sui, what is the purpose of Wu Zu entering the world this time?"

After nodding after a slight hesitation, Li Shimin frowned and continued to ask Suiren.

The fact that Wu Zu came into the world is actually no longer a secret among the human race today.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the legend about Wuzu's entry into the world has begun to spread among the people.

Therefore, despite the relationship between Jin Ling and the human race, if Jin Ling really needed anything, Li Shimin would not only not reject it, but would even cooperate very well.

However, Li Shimin was a little confused about Jin Ling's constant involvement in the world.

no……

What are you picturing?

If he doesn't want to be the Emperor Ziwei and the deputy leader of Jiejiao, what is the point of coming to the mortal world?

Lack of incense?

It can't be.

Among the human race today, which village does not have a Martial Ancestor Temple?
The two words "Martial Ancestor" are absolutely top-notch among the human race.

Stronger than a saint.

There is no other reason. Compared with the saints, Jin Ling is the one who really works hard!

"Reincarnate ten times to refine your mind, and help the Western Paradise to flourish so as to gain merit and virtue."

With a chuckle, Suiren had no intention of hiding anything. After all, it was not a secret.

In the fairy world, everyone who is qualified to know knows it.

For those who are not qualified to know, it doesn’t make much difference whether they know it or not.

"If everything goes well this time, when my master returns, that will be the day when he will attain the Dao of Hun Yuan."

"Shimin will definitely cooperate with all his strength!" At this point, Li Shimin no longer had any doubts, but bowed directly to Suiren and saluted.

If you were to choose one to become a saint among all the immortals and Buddhas in the world.

Then all the human race will definitely choose Jin Ling.

There is no other reason. Compared with those immortals and Buddhas who talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, it was Jin Ling who turned his back to the human race when the human race was in real danger.

The one who created martial arts was Jin Ling.

The one confronting Kunpeng is Jin Ling.

It was also Jin Ling who gave advice to the human race.

It was actually Jin Ling who ordered the Phoenix Clan to protect the human race back then.

How could the human race not support such an immortal?

……

"Second brother, what kind of disaster do you think our uncles and aunts will set up?"

At the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, Sun Wukong looked at Yang Jian who was hanging in front of him and swaying continuously as a gust of mountain wind blew.

He asked with a smile that couldn't be hidden from his eyes.

"It doesn't matter what kind of disaster it is. What's important is how to tell who the demons and monsters you encounter along the way are from."

Yang Jian, who was swaying in the wind and looked like he had lost all hope in life, spoke in a calm tone after hearing what Sun Wukong said.

Really, it was at this moment that Yang Jian truly realized the importance of learning from a teacher.

To be honest, can he compare the feeling of being suppressed and being hung up?

"That's true. However, compared to those who wield swords and sticks, I, Old Sun, think that female monsters are indispensable along the way."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong nodded in approval, then said to Yang Jian with a sly smile on his face.

"What are you talking about?!"

In response to this, Yang Jian's face turned stern and he shouted at Sun Wukong in displeasure.

"The one who wants to use force is a female monster, and the one that Master Uncle likes is a female Bodhisattva!"

After he finished speaking, meeting Sun Wukong's slightly confused gaze, Yang Jian couldn't help but say with a smile.

"That's right! That's right! Second brother is right! But it's me, Old Sun, who doesn't understand romance!"

Hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately spoke to Yang Jian with gestures of joy.

"Well, well, well, you two are truly good nephews who respect their teachers!"

And it was at this moment, accompanied by a peaceful female voice, Sun Wukong and Yang Jian looked subconsciously, only to find that it was Guanyin Bodhisattva walking towards them with Jinzha and Muzha.

Or rather...

Uncle Master Cihang!

At that moment, the smiles on Yang Jian and Sun Wukong's faces froze.

The eyes of both of them fell on the photo-retaining bead in Cihang's hand.

"You said, when my second brother returns to the world someday, I will give this treasure to him to look at..."

She walked to and stood in front of Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, holding the image bead between two fingers, and looked at them meaningfully.

"Uncle Master, you..."

Swallowing his saliva subconsciously, Sun Wukong quickly looked at Cihang with a pleading look.

The storm of the havoc in Heaven has passed. Now even if Sun Wukong had ten times the courage, he would not dare to act rashly!

Moreover, in front of Cihang, Sun Wukong is really not good enough.

"You two boys should do your best to escort my brother westward this time, but if you are negligent..."

As he spoke, Cihang's gaze fell on the photo-taking bead in his hand.

After thinking about it, Cihang used his fingers to exert a little force and crushed the image bead into powder.

"No need for you to do anything, second brother. I will send you two bastards to the eighteenth level of hell, where you will never be able to be reborn!"

"Uncle Master, your words have humiliated me. My teacher has taught me a lot. Even if I have fallen into the evil path, I dare not act rashly in front of my teacher."

In response to this, Sun Wukong quickly spoke to Cihang.

"Although I am not a disciple of Master Uncle, I have received Master Uncle's guidance for more than ten years. How dare I act rudely in front of Master Uncle?"

As Sun Wukong finished speaking, Yang Jian assured Cihang without any hesitation.

To be honest, making fun of Jin Ling behind his back was already the limit of what Sun Wukong and Yang Jian could do.

They would not dare to really lose face in front of Jin Ling, even if that was just Jin Ling's reincarnation, and they would never do that.

That's a very respectable existence, isn't it?
"My brother has only been in the world for twenty years. He has not seen much and has little experience. It is inevitable that he is a little immature in handling some things. He is not as good as you who have lived for thousands of years and have attained the Tao."

"Not only that, as a mere mortal, I have to become the master of you who have great magical powers. My brother is under a lot of pressure."

"Therefore, I hope that you can control your temper and be more patient in the process of getting along with my brother in the future."

"Even if you are really impatient, think about how my brother treated you when you were looking for immortals and learning the way."

Looking at Sun Wukong and Yang Jian in front of her, Cihang gave earnest instructions.

Really, Cihang was afraid that some conflicts would arise between Sun Wukong and Yang Jian as they lived with Jin Ling day and night in the future.

Really, whether from the perspective of Sun Wukong and Yang Jian or from Jin Ling's perspective, this is destined to be an uncomfortable journey.

Of course, Cihang could naturally use some means to make these protectors obey Jin Ling.

However, the magic treasure can bind their bodies but cannot trap their hearts.

"Master, I will definitely keep in mind what you said."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong and Yang Jian replied to Cihang without any hesitation.

At this point, Sun Wukong and Yang Jian basically understood. Now, they just had to bow their heads and say yes to ease the worries in their uncle's heart.

"From now on, don't practice anymore. Your master will be here in a few days."

……

After parting with Suiren, Li Shimin went directly to Lingbao Mountain to worship Buddha.

On the same day, Li Shimin ordered the repair of Lingyin Temple.

In this way, Jin Ling was invited back to Chang'an.

Surprisingly, Li Shimin became a Buddhist fanatic.

It was as if overnight, Li Shimin fell in love with Buddhism.

Naturally, the civil and military officials in the court would not say much about this.

After all, Taoism is very powerful nowadays. From the perspective of the court, it is not a bad thing for the emperor to support Buddhism and restrain Taoism.

However, under such circumstances, Jin Ling became a popular master in Chang'an.

One ritual after another was held in Chang'an, and Jin Ling participated in every one of them.

And it was under Li Shimin's almost unreasonable support that, within half a year, Jin Ling became the most recognized monk in Chang'an and even in the entire Tang Dynasty.

But Jin Ling, the most eminent monk in the Tang Dynasty, felt a little nervous.

Jin Ling felt that King Tang seemed to be too nice to him.

Is this reasonable?

This is not reasonable.

So, what does King Tang want to do?
