The Great Tang Dynasty: Heavenly Official Bestows Blessings, Starting with a Little Rhinoceros Offer

Golden light illuminated the entire sea of ​​consciousness.

Jiang Lin's heart stirred, and he quickly probed the book with his divine sense, turning the page.

The first page displays Jiang Lin's personal information.

And his Taoist name: Sanyuan!

Because this Taoist name sounds cheap, Jiang Lin rarely uses it to refer to himself.

However, in reality, "Sanyuan" refers to the Three Officials.

In terms of dates, they are the Upper Yuan, Middle Yuan, and Lower Yuan respectively.

From a spatial perspective, it represents the Heavenly Element, the Earthly Element, and the Water Element.

From the perspective of the essence of life, it corresponds to three attributes: spirit, essence, and energy.

But what Jiang Lin couldn't understand was why he was given the Taoist name Sanyuan from the very beginning.

Even as the abbot of this temple, he found it hard to accept such direct references to the three great emperors.

However, now is not the time to dwell on the Taoist name.

Jiang Lin turned to the next page. What should have been a blank page was now filled with golden text.

[True Disciple]

The four large characters shone brightly.

And below that, a name was clearly written.

【Li Mingda】

Upon seeing these three words, Jiang Lin's heart skipped a beat.

Li Mingda?

He suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the adorable little child in front of him who was still bowing, and tentatively called out.

"Mingda?"

Upon hearing the name, the little boy immediately looked up.

Her little mouth opened slightly, revealing a few small, white baby teeth.

"Wow!"

"Master, how do you know Si Zi's famous name?!"

Seeing this, Jiang Lin was completely certain.

The name on the book is that of the little guy in front of me.

This San Guan Xuan Zhang actually directly bound him to a disciple who transcends time and space?

And it's such a tiny baby?

Although he found it a bit outrageous, Jiang Lin was, after all, a transmigrator, and quickly accepted it.

Besides, you couldn't find such an adorable apprentice even with a lantern!

A smile involuntarily crept onto her lips as she reached out and ruffled the soft hair.

"Because Mingda is now my apprentice."

"Of course Master knows his disciple's name."

The little guy wasn't scared at all; instead, he started grinning like an idiot.

Hehehe!

"That's great!"

"The rhinoceros has a divine master to fool it!"

As she spoke, she clenched her little fist and waved it twice in the air.

However, now that we know the full name, it's much easier to look it up.

【Li Mingda】

This name sounds quite familiar.

Jiang Lin took out his phone again and typed "Li Mingda" into the browser.

Clicking the search bar brings up a dense list of search terms.

The first item on the list is a detailed introduction.

Princess Jinyang, courtesy name Mingda, childhood name Sizi.

[Daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, and Empress Wende, née Changsun.]

Upon seeing this, Jiang Lin's pupils suddenly contracted.

Although I had already prepared myself mentally.

But when he heard the names of Emperor Taizong of Tang and Empress Zhangsun, he still felt a moment of disorientation.

The adorable little girl waving her tiny fists in front of you is actually the daughter of Li Shimin, one of the greatest emperors in Chinese history?

Is she a princess from the Tang Dynasty?

Jiang Lin continued reading.

After Empress Zhangsun's death, she was raised by Emperor Taizong of Tang and became one of his most beloved daughters.

She is also the only princess in history to have been personally raised by an emperor.

[She was intelligent, kind, and gentle. Whenever Emperor Taizong was angry and about to punish his ministers, the princess would often patiently plead her case, thus saving them from punishment.]

Looking at these lines of text, and then at the innocent and carefree little guy in front of me.

Jiang Lin's gaze softened further.

It turns out that historical records are also quite likable.

However, when you look at the last few lines of the entry...

Jiang Lin felt as if he had been pricked by a needle.

According to historical records, Princess Jinyang died at the young age of twelve.

Emperor Taizong was deeply grieved and could not eat for over a month, weeping day and night!

Twelve years old!

In other words, following the trajectory of history.

This lively and adorable little life in front of us won't even live to adulthood.

The bitter medicine she mentioned earlier was probably because she had been frail and sickly since childhood.

A nameless sorrow welled up in my heart.

How could I bear to let such a wonderful child pass away so soon?

Jiang Lin took a deep breath, suppressing the heaviness in his heart.

Since he was called "Master" by the adorable child, and had traveled through time and space to this Sanguan Temple.

Then the other person's fate can definitely be rewritten.

"Mingda".

Jiang Lin squatted down, bringing his eyes level with hers.

"Is your father named Li Shimin?"

The little one's eyes lit up instantly when he heard the name.

"It's a duck! It's a duck!"

"Master, do you know Sizi's father?"

In her mind, although her father was very powerful, she never expected that he would even know her divine master.

Jiang Lin nodded and continued to ask.

"Then, is your mother Empress Zhangsun?"

Upon hearing his mother's name, the little one's eyes softened even more.

"Uh-huh!"

"That's my mother!"

"My mother is the best; she takes care of Sizi every day!"

As she said this, a happy smile spread across her face.

Clearly, the little one loves her parents very much.

Now it can be said that it is 100% confirmed that the little girl is Princess Jinyang from the Zhenguan era.

Jiang Lin sighed inwardly, marveling at how wondrous this encounter that transcended time and space truly was.

Suddenly, he remembered the baby's nickname.

.

I looked down at my phone screen and glanced at the explanation.

【兕 (sì): A type of one-horned rhinoceros in ancient legends.】

Ancient people believed that its thick, tough skin could be used to make armor.

This nickname reflects the parents' wish that their child would be as strong and healthy as a rhinoceros, free from illness and misfortune.

So that's why Li Shimin named his most beloved youngest daughter.

It's not because I'm casual, but rather because I care too much.

Because she is physically weak, we hope she will be as strong as a rhinoceros.

Jiang Lin looked at the adorable little child, a hint of affection in his eyes.

"Little guy."

Jiang Lin spoke with a light laugh.

"Master made a mistake just now."

"Your name isn't that red persimmon."

Little Sizi, who was immersed in joy, was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

She tilted her head, looking completely confused.

"what?"

"It's not a 'xizi'... what's that then?"

Her little face was full of worry.

If it's not a sweet persimmon, then what is it?

Jiang Lin patiently explained this to him.

"Although the pronunciations sound very similar."

"But the character '兕' in your name represents a type of animal."

"An animal called a rhinoceros."

Upon hearing that it was an animal, Little Sizi's curiosity was immediately piqued, and its eyes lit up as it approached.

"Rhinoceros Stream?"

"What is a rhinoceros duck?"

"Is it pretty? Isn't it soft?"

In Xiaosizi's imagination, since it was her own name, it must be as cute as she was.

Seeing the expectant look on the other person's face, Jiang Lin's expression became somewhat strange.

nice?

Soft and fluffy?

It's not exactly the same as a rhinoceros, but it's completely unrelated.

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Lin cleared his throat and spoke slowly.

"That rhinoceros, it might... look rather fierce."

"Powerful?"

Little Sizi didn't understand the word, but she was still filled with longing.

"Shihu, Shihu, quickly show it to the rhinoceros!"

"Sizi wants to see the Rhinoceros Stream!"

Unable to resist the little guy's enthusiasm, Jiang Lin picked up his phone again.

I typed "rhinoceros" into the search bar.

Click on the image.

Soon, a high-resolution image appeared on the screen.

It was a fully grown rhinoceros, its body as large as a tank.

Its gray skin was rough like tree bark, covered with wrinkles.

A thick, single horn shot into the sky, exuding a fierce aura.

No matter how you look at it, it's a giant jungle beast, full of power.

"Look, this is a rhinoceros."

Jiang Lin slowly handed the screen to Xiao Sizi.

Little Sizi stared wide-eyed with anticipation and leaned closer to take a look.

The next second.

The air seemed to freeze.

The smile on Xiao Sizi's face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The light in those once bright eyes quickly dimmed.

Instead, there was a profound sense of disbelief.

I looked at the screen and saw that grayish-brown, horned giant.

She looked down again at her own pink and tender little hands.

No matter how hard the little guy tried to imagine it, he couldn't connect the two images together.

this...

Is this a rhinoceros?

A huge sense of injustice welled up in my heart.

Her little mouth twitched, and her eyes instantly reddened.

"Wow--!"

A cry shattered the tranquility of the Taoist temple.

The little ox kept backing away, waving its little hands repeatedly.

"Waaaaah..."

"How ugly!"

"It's so ugly!"

"I, Si Zi, don't want to be a rhinoceros!"

Looking at the little dumpling who was just laughing happily, it suddenly burst into tears.

Seeing this, Jiang Lin felt both sorry for him and amused.

Indeed, for a little girl.

Rhinoceroses are big and ugly, which is really hard to accept.

"Okay, okay, I won't be a rhinoceros, I won't be a rhinoceros."

Jiang Lin quickly put away his phone and reached out to hold her small hand that was waving wildly in the air.

He pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back.

"Don't cry, don't cry."

"Mingda is not a rhinoceros."

The little girl sobbed, raised her face, and looked at Jiang Lin pitifully.

"Really...really?"

"What kind of duck is that?"

Seeing her aggrieved expression, Jiang Lin felt a pang of emotion and smiled as he wiped away the tears on her face.

"Of course, persimmons are still sweet!"

"It looks good and tastes good."

"Everyone likes it, right?"

Upon hearing this, the little one stopped crying abruptly.

She sniffed, and the image of that tempting red persimmon popped into her mind.

And the delicious dried persimmons I just ate.

The little guy nodded vigorously and hugged Jiang Lin's arm tightly.

He announced it with unwavering conviction in that childlike, innocent voice.

"Um!"

"Sizi wants to be a fierce and powerful son!"

"I don't want to be an ugly rhinoceros!"
