The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 357
"Then I don't know how senior is going to make up for it?" Li Chengqian said to Patriarch Wang Ao with a smile.

"The reason I waited to go down this time was not just to build the Zongmen Pagoda, but to have a place in the Prince's Zongmen." Ancestor Wang Ao said.

Hearing what Wang Ao's ancestor said, Li Chengqian was secretly happy.After all, letting those boys grope and practice on their own is not as effective as someone giving them advice.

However, Li Chengqian didn't show any joy on his face, instead he looked embarrassed.

And he opened his mouth and said to Patriarch Wang Ao: "The so-called sect is the gate of the clan, that is to say, only descendants of the Li surname are eligible to join the inner sect."

"And the seniors are all highly respected people, and the disciples they teach are all great sages. If you let the seniors be subservient to the outer sect, wouldn't it be a little overkill."

"However, what this junior wants to know most is why the seniors asked Father to build the Zongmen Pagoda. It seems that this has nothing to do with whether you can enter the Zongmen, right?"

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Yuan Tiangang is right. His Royal Highness is really a big kid." The Holy Mother of the Yellow Flower said with a smile.

"Thanks to listening to the advice of fellow Taoist Yuan Tiangang, I came to see the emperor first. If we go directly to see His Highness the Crown Prince, I'm afraid we can only be led by the nose." The Holy Mother of the Golden Knife said with a smile.

"Do you think we won't be passive now?" Patriarch Wang Chan said.

"You don't need to be like this, let Pindao explain the whole story. In case the emperor feels uncomfortable, and His Royal Highness is wary of us." Yuan Tiangang said.

Then Yuan Tiangang opened his mouth to Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, and told in detail the real purpose of everyone going down the mountain.

It turned out that when Li Chengqian found Yuan Tiangang and wanted to find a place to build a sect in Lishan Mountain.Yuan Tiangang became very interested in the sect.

That's why he didn't meet Li Chengqian directly, but instead went to see the Holy Mother of Lishan.

The purpose is to occupy a place in the sect.And their real purpose is to borrow the luck of the sect.

But they knew in their hearts that they would share their luck for no reason, even if Li Chengqian agreed, they would owe boundless karma.

That's why they planned to build the Zongmen Pagoda as a reason for them to enter the Zongmen.

The reason why I came to see Li Shimin first was to get Li Shimin's support.That's why I came up with the matter of complementing the dragon's veins and horns of Lishan Mountain.

After hearing what had happened, Li Shimin said, "Everyone built the Zongmen Pagoda for the purpose of having an audience, which means that this Zongmen Pagoda is definitely not a decoration."

"Since that's the case, why don't you tell me directly, instead you have to make such a big circle. This seems a little unreasonable?"

"Your Majesty, in fact, we did not lie to the Emperor, so the crime of deceiving the emperor is naturally out of the question. Because I am going to build the Zongmen Tower, it is indeed to fill up the dragon's horns of the Lishan Mountain." Ancestor Wang Ao said.

Li Shimin is completely dumbfounded now, and it seems that he is going around in circles.So he said, "Since everyone knows that the Lishan Dragon Vessel is just a symbol, why build this sect tower?"

"I wonder if the emperor knows what luck is? What is the reason for luck?" Li Shan's old mother asked Li Shimin.

"The country is prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is the foundation of this luck." Li Shimin said without hesitation.

"That's right, the common people are the foundation of this luck. But what the common people can see is the existence of the dragon veins of Mount Li, not the invisible and intangible dragon of luck."

"And Pindao asked His Royal Highness to build the Lishan Palace on the dragon's head in order to make the Lishan dragon veins come alive. Adding the supplementary dragon horns will make it even more majestic." Yuan Tiangang said.

"When the time comes, all the seniors will add more exaggeration, and I am afraid that the people of the world will think that the dragon veins of the Tang Dynasty are the Lishan mountain range."

"At that time, the people of the world will feel that it is destiny for the surname Li to be in charge of the Tang Dynasty. This dragon of luck will be even more prosperous. This is definitely a trick used by the monarchs of all dynasties." Li Chengqian said with a smile .

"His Royal Highness, I'm afraid that's why you and the emperor went down to Lishan Mountain that day?" Yuan Tiangang asked Li Chengqian after nodding his head.

"I've been talking about my feelings for a long time, and you already know it, but I was kept in the dark by you." At this time, Li Shimin had understood everything, so he said sourly.

"Father, it's not that the sons and seniors want to hide it from the father. It's not that the father doesn't have the right to know about it."

"It's just that the right time didn't come, so I didn't explain it to my father. Now the time has come, so naturally I let my father know everything." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Forget it, I'm not that small-bellied person. Now you should consider whether to let all the virtuous people join the sect?" Li Shimin said after sighing.

"It seems that you are really on the right path when you follow the path of the emperor. It's not too bad, the emperor will help you talk." Li Chengqian said with a smile and shook his head.

"His Royal Highness, as long as the Zongmen Pagoda is completed, not only will the dragon veins of Lishan Mountain be completed. And this Zongmen Pagoda will become a symbol of the Zongmen." Yuan Tiangang said to Li Chengqian.

"This junior has thought about it a long time ago, but he just doesn't understand why it costs so much money. Is there any key point in this?" Li Chengqian asked.

"The reason why it cost so much is because the gate tower needs seven pearls, plus a few peerless treasures."

"Leaving aside the value of those few peerless treasures, each of these seven pearls alone can be called priceless." Yuan Tiangang said.

"Well, since the father has already agreed to the seniors, the juniors naturally have no reason not to support it. It's just that the juniors have a question, and I hope you can give the juniors an answer." Li Chengqian said.

"Then please ask His Highness the Prince, as long as you can answer His Highness's question, then there will be absolutely nothing to hide." Ancestor Wang Ao said with a smile.

"Actually, it's not a deep question. The younger generation just wants to know how old the seniors have lived. Whether they have lived for more than 1000 years like the legends." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Hahaha, so that's the question. It's not difficult to answer." Ancestor Wang Ao said with a smile.

And directly holding the tea in the teacup with his hands, he wrote a few words on the table.After writing it, it was erased by hand.

Not only Li Chengqian was shocked, but even Li Shimin and Empress Changsun couldn't help being shocked.
