13 years (639 years).
The temple of the earth god beside the street of the market.
Guan Yin Bodhisattva, who had transformed into a monk with scabby skin, and her disciple Muzha, the Hui 'an Walker, lived here.
"Master, I've already reached eighteen years old. We can start the journey to the west.”
Muzha looked at Guan Yin Bodhisattva and said.
"This matter needs to be considered at length. The Great Tang has become increasingly prosperous in the past decade or so.
If the Tang King was unwilling, he would not be able to go to the West to obtain the scriptures.
How could the Great Tang have produced a figure like the Fourth Prince?
Which Sage or Quasi-Sage was the one who set up the chess piece to destroy the prosperity of Buddhism?”
Guan Yin Bodhisattva frowned.
Li Shiming, the Fourth Prince!
King of Wei, Li Tai!
The second son of Empress Zhang Sun.
He was born from the same mother. His eldest brother was Prince Li Chengqian, and his third brother was Li Zhi!
He was the most favored among the kings!
It even started the precedent of not going to the fief even when one was an adult!
"Master, are you sure that Li Tai was a pawn? The rise of Buddhism was a matter decided by the heavens. Who dared to defy the heavens?
Hui An Walker didn't believe it.
Guan Yin Bodhisattva shook her head.
"In the entire three worlds, there has never been a stop to the rise of our Buddhist Sect. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been two incidents of Buddha extermination in the past two hundred years.”
Muzha's heart sank.
Emperor Taiwu of Wei destroyed Buddha!
North Zhou's Emperor Wu destroyed Buddha!
This could be considered a major event that had happened in the past two hundred years.
The rise of Buddhism was decided by the Heavenly Dao.
However, there had always been some people who defied the heavens!
The Wei Dynasty's Emperor Taiwu and the Northern Zhou Dynasty's Emperor Wu were the greatest Buddhist calamities.
Otherwise, the day of the Buddhist Sect's prosperity might have been brought forward.
"Master, this time, you will personally take action. Whoever dares to attack will have their tentacles cut off.”
"Hui An, you are wrong. The person who attacked this time is too brilliant. I can't find out who is behind this.”
When Guan Yin Bodhisattva said this, a hint of helplessness appeared on her face.
"How is it brilliant?" Muzha was confused.
"Sigh, even you can't understand it. This proves even more that he's brilliant in doing things.
He directly cut off the recruitment of Buddhist believers from the root.
In just a dozen years, he had created three plants that would change the Great Tang.”
"Three types of plants? You mean sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes?”
"Yes, it's them."
"That's impossible, right? The prosperity of the Buddhist Sect will be limited by three kinds of plants?”
"Sigh, this is the brilliance of the other party.
These three things were not things that the Great Tang should have.
But this thing had appeared in the Great Tang!
Li Shimin, the king of Tang, had even expanded the planting to the entire country.
Now, the people of the Great Tang were practically free from hunger.
"This has made our Buddhist Sect's propaganda and alms become decorations.
They didn't directly resist the Buddhist Sect, but they completely cut off our source of believers.
This was the most brilliant part!
If we want to deal with them, we must make the lives of the people of the Great Tang difficult.
But we can't do that.
Once we destroy the Great Tang's current destiny, we will be able to destroy it.
The first to suffer a backlash will be our Buddhist Sect.”
Guan Yin Bodhisattva's gaze seemed to see through the entire Chang 'an Street.
Sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn!
It would directly save the people of the Great Tang from hunger.
Without hunger, the Buddhist temple's alms would lose its meaning.
Similarly, very few people were willing to become monks.
This was a scheme to remove firewood from under the cauldron!
And it was the most unsolvable conspiracy!
"Then, are we still going to carry out the plan?”
Upon hearing the Bodhisattva's analysis, Hui An became a little anxious.
"Continue to implement it. Now is the time to verify the results of our twenty years of hiding here.
You have gained the trust of the Jing River Dragon King.
Today, you will go to the Jing River Dragon King and sow discord. It is time for the dragon clan to enter the net.
The person behind Li Tai doesn't want to confront our Buddhist Sect.
Then we'll force the other party to make a move.
Once the other party makes a move, I will be able to find his weakness.
No matter who he was, don't blame the Buddhist Sect for using their power to suppress him.”
As Guan Yin Bodhisattva said this, her entire aura changed.
She abandoned her identity as Daoist Cihang.
He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Buddhist Sect's prosperity to take another step forward.
Whoever destroyed the prosperity of the Buddhist Sect…
That was to cut off her path of cultivation!
This was a great enmity!
Muzha received the order and turned around to head straight for the Jing River.
Guan Yin Bodhisattva quietly looked at the chaotic heavenly secrets in the distance.
"Li Tai, whose chess piece are you? Or, whose reincarnation are you?
I'll see if you can still sit still after killing the Jing River Dragon King!”
……
The next day.
In the Imperial Palace, Wei Zheng, who was sleeping while playing chess with Li Shiming, suddenly woke up.
He looked terrified.
However, he was pleasantly surprised.
Success!
The Jing River Dragon King had been killed!
His deal with the Buddhist Sect had already been completed.
Even after death, he would have a place in the underworld.
Thinking of this, he immediately prostrated himself on the ground and began to perform.
"This subject deserves ten thousand deaths, this subject deserves ten thousand deaths! I'm just dizzy and don't know what to do. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me for despising you.”
No matter how happy he was in his heart.
He still had to deal with the Emperor first.
After all, he had fallen asleep.
Li Shi Min laughed." It's fine, it's fine. My dear minister, you've worked hard to help the country. What's wrong with that? Let's play another round."”
Wei Zheng stood up and smiled.
Success!
The emperor was easy to fool.
This matter could be considered to have come to an end.
The monarch and minister held their chess pieces again, ready for another round.
At this moment, there was a commotion at the palace gate.
A group of people rushed into the hall.
The leader was holding a huge dragon head in his hand.
"Your Majesty, south of the Thousand Steps Corridor, on the crossroad, a dragon head fell to the ground.”
Xu Maogong's tone was hurried.
Dragon head!
Your Majesty is the true dragon and son of heaven.
But now, a dragon head had fallen.
The world was a great calamity!
Li Shi Min was shocked when he heard this.
He subconsciously looked at Wei Zheng.
"Prime Minister, what do you mean?"
Wei Zheng kowtowed and said,"I beheaded him in my dream."”
Everyone was shocked.
"The Prime Minister was beheaded in his dream?"
"What is going on?"
"Prime minister, tell us quickly.”
Xu Maogong, Qin Shubao, Li Jing, Prime Minister Yin, Cheng Yaojin, and the others were all anxious.
You dare to slay the dragon!
How audacious!
"Your Majesty, in my dream, I rode on a cloud and flew up to the Dragon Cutting Platform. This dragon was tied up by the heavenly soldiers and generals.
This dragon is a criminal and is sentenced to death. I'm going to kill him according to heaven's will…"
Wei Zheng recounted the incident of him slaying the dragon in his dream.
There was a hint of pride in his words.
However, these words made Li Shi Min's heart skip a beat.
The generals frowned.
They all had a worry in their hearts.
"This Jing River Dragon King has specially begged Your Majesty to spare his life.”
"Yes, His Majesty also agreed to the request of the Jing River Dragon King.”
"But now that the Jing River Dragon King has been killed, he has broken his promise.”
"The Great Tang still needs the Dragon Tribe to provide the clouds and rain. If His Majesty breaks his promise, will the Dragon Tribe no longer serve the Great Tang?”
"That's right, that's right. Will there be natural disasters in the Great Tang?”
The ministers discussed animatedly.
Regardless of whether it was a general like Qin Qiong.
Even a civil official like Zhangsun Wuji had a worried expression on his face.
Wei Zheng was awesome.
But the people of the Great Tang were doomed.
When Wei Zheng heard this, he felt that something was wrong.
I just wanted to act cool.
He didn't want to have the reputation of disrupting the world!
"Your Majesty, my fellow colleagues, the Jing River Dragon King has violated the laws of heaven and is sentenced to death. Your Majesty and everyone need not worry.”
He explained seriously.
The Jing River Dragon King violated the rules of the heavens!
It was a capital crime in itself!
Li Shi Min finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Minister, you have a point…"
"Imperial Father, Wei Zheng has the intention to rebel.”
At this moment, a voice interrupted Li Shiming.
Li Shimin was speechless.
The ministers were speechless.
"How dare you speak so arrogantly in the throne room!"”
Wei Zheng roared!
F * ck!
Rebellion!
Are you trying to f * cking kill me?
