Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

"Actually, not to mention the human kings, even those other strong men in the human race, when they practice the power of blood to a certain extent, can actually circumvent the life span limit recorded in the book of life and death."

Cui Pan was the first to speak. He has done some research in this area. After all, he is in charge of the "Book of Life and Death", so he also has a certain say. "Such a phenomenon was basically caused by the self-destruction of King Zhou before the Xia and Shang Dynasties." After the death of King Wu, the emperors of the world and the monarchs of the vassal states gradually slacked off in cultivating the power of human blood. One reason may be that during the Conferring God War, strong human beings fell one after another, and the inheritance Cut off; secondly, it may be that the power of human blood has become increasingly thinner after being passed down from generation to generation, and no longer has the power of ancient times. Even if some human masters are born, they are like rare existences. And they rarely break through the limit of their own life span. .”

At this point, Cui Pan paused for a moment and explained to Erlang Zhenjun: "The little god is young after all. These are the little gods' bold guesses based on the records in the book of life and death."

Cui Pan is speculating.

But Yang Jian is a person who has actually experienced the war of conferring gods. "I have never seen the actual situation of human kings in ancient times, but what Cui Pan said after being conferred as gods should be the current situation of the human race. And the longevity of the emperor, The reason why they gradually become the same as ordinary human beings is actually because the way of heaven does not allow the emperor to achieve immortality through 'cultivation' or taking the treasures of heaven and earth."

And "cultivation" may be a method of practice that can lead to immortality through "practice" except for the power of human blood.

As for the treasures of heaven, materials and earth compared to cultivation, these are actually the things that are easiest for the emperor and the princes and kings to obtain.

But neither the elixir of the First Emperor nor the flat peaches of King Mu of Zhou and Emperor Wu of Han could allow them to live forever as emperors.

Because of the restrictions of Ziwei's imperial energy, the emperor was cut off from the path of cultivation from the moment he succeeded to the throne. Even if he was not the emperor, but only had royal blood, there were many restrictions on his cultivation.

Otherwise, with so many people seeking immortality and Taoism, wouldn’t it be only Liu An, the king of Huainan, who became an immortal in the royal family?

After listening to the words of Yang Jian and Cui Pan, those Yamas who had served in the underworld during the era of human kings also realized that they had fallen into a misunderstanding about the emperor's inability to live forever.

But they didn't pay too much attention to it. Firstly, it was none of their business; secondly, it was actually the fault of the emperors in the world for not living up to their expectations.

If Li Shimin hadn't suddenly awakened, this matter would have continued to be ignored.

But today's era is indeed somewhat unusual. Not only has Li Shimin himself repeatedly made breakthroughs in human martial arts, but the two ruthless men Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui have even reached the level of the top masters of the ancient human race.

Others don't know what their abilities are, but Yang Jian, who has fought against them, can be sure that if the two of them were placed on the battlefield of the Conferred Gods, even Huang Tianxiang, who would later be called "the number one warrior of the human race", would probably He is by no means a match for the two of them.

With Li Shimin's deliberate promotion, while the imperial examination was successfully implemented, the military examination was also launched. The talent pool of the Tang court could be said to be unprecedentedly prosperous.

It is precisely because Li and Tang paid equal attention to civil and military affairs that there were many ministers who were both civil and military.

At the beginning of the year, the remaining tribes of Baekje rebelled.

Without sending out Xue Rengui, Li Zhi took Xing Guogong Su Dingfang as the commander-in-chief and Pei Xingjian as the assistant general. He easily quelled the rebellion. Once again, he proved to the world that don't think that just because Tian Khan abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, you can make small moves in private. .

The Tang Dynasty is still the Tang Dynasty.

Those restless people in Tubo, Turkic and other places had no choice but to behave honestly when they saw how vulnerable Baekje was under the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.Not to mention the various ministries in the Western Regions, they even paid generous tributes to the Tang Dynasty, including wine and dancing girls.

Although these places were indeed included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, for the Tang Dynasty, they were never truly absorbed. It only established the Protectorate while still allowing them to maintain a certain degree of autonomy. right.

After all, customs and culture are different. Unless brutal means such as killing are used, it will be difficult to achieve rapid assimilation in a short period of time.

And senseless killing was obviously an unnecessary choice for Datang.

After all, after killing all the people, all that is left is a desolate wasteland. This is obviously not what the Tang Dynasty wants.As for the people who immigrated to the Tang Dynasty, how many of them were really willing to leave their homes?

One of the basic national policies left by Li Shimin to Li Zhi is that in dealing with these foreign nations, cultural conquest is more effective than military invasion.

Obviously, Li Zhi also did this, and it was quite effective.

Many places have gradually begun to become counties. For example, Suiye City in the Western Regions was the first batch of pilot projects. There were even quotas for the imperial examination, which caused various ministries in the Western Regions to imitate.

In fact, gods like them are quite concerned about how the imperial dynasties in the human world govern.

As for the underworld, the more stable the world is, the burden on them will naturally be much smaller.

After all, once the killing starts, the underworld is always the busiest part. In the peaceful development of the Three Realms, there are no war souls who died on the battlefield. They only need to complete the established indicators in the book of life and death.

"I wonder what the Bodhisattva has to say about this matter?"

After all, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the leader of the Netherworld. Although he was born in Buddhism, he is also one of the few Bodhisattvas in Buddhism who also holds a post in heaven.Among the "New Rules of Heaven" compiled by Yang Jian, there are many practical suggestions from this Bodhisattva, which benefited him a lot.

"Amitabha." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva first recited the Buddha's name, and then said to Yang Jian: "Monks are compassionate. Even the emperor who is restricted by heaven and cannot live forever seems to have no need to target him with a 'death calamity'."

Since it is a discussion, there are always various opinions.

As for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, this time he gave his own suggestions from the position of a great Buddhist Bodhisattva. Obviously, he had no intention of getting involved in this muddy water.

What's more, Li Shimin is still a pro-Buddha. Even if he is close to Tripitaka Buddha, it makes no difference to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.Tripitaka Buddha is also a Buddha.

If Li Shimin can really hold the power of the emperor of the world for three and five hundred years, it will be good news for the people of the world and Buddhism.

And my most broad proposal is the bottom line for bargaining when "negotiating" with Tiandao.

After all, it was a matter involving the law of heaven. How could they decide it in just a few words?
Even if it is a preliminary "bill", it must be approved by Heaven before it can be tried out in the Three Realms.

Erlang Zhenjun had an understanding of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's attitude, and turned to look at Emperor Fengdu who was standing aside.
Emperor Fengdu is also very straightforward. Although he can be regarded as an independent personality, he is still different from Li Shimin's incarnation who had his memory cleared and was reincarnated through six paths of reincarnation. His temperament is the most consistent with Emperor Ziwei, so he His position is almost the same as that of Emperor Ziwei.
Perhaps it is also because Li Shimin is also one of the incarnations of Emperor Ziwei. How "merciful" Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is, how "strict" his advice is.

It is almost the kind that leaves no way for "Li Shimin" to survive. It seems that if Li Shimin does not fall in the "death disaster", he will not be sorry for the word "death disaster".have to.
The Tenth Palace Yamas, who originally wanted to take this discussion seriously, chose to shut up after hearing the speeches of the two Yin Division bosses.

Not to mention them, even Yang Jian would feel a headache at this time.

However, he also expressed his understanding of the attitudes of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Emperor Fengdu towards this matter. After all, they each had their own positions.

The Tenth Hall Yama fell into silence.

Zhong Kui was seriously thinking about countermeasures, and when Cui Jue wanted to break the awkward atmosphere at the scene, Wei Zheng at the side suddenly said: "Zhenjun, the little god has something to say, which may be inappropriate but must be said."

"President Wei, please speak."

Yang Jian's eyes lit up. This was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty at that time. He and the emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty also left a good story about the emperor and his ministers. He might have some effective suggestions.

"Since this matter involves the emperor of the human race, should we inform the human kings of Huoyun Cave?" Wei Zheng's perspective has always been tricky. The reason for his advice this time is not that he doesn't believe in Erlang Zhenjun, who is half human blood, but that he As a simple human being, we must fight for more rights for the human race.

Moreover, looking at the attitudes of Emperor Fengdu and Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, it is obvious that they are somewhat unreliable.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene that was not harmonious once again fell into condensation.

But after thinking for a moment, the local Bodhisattva Bodhisattva and the Emperor Fengdu nodded at the same time, expressing their approval of Wei Zheng's words.

Emperor Fengdu even said: "Principal Wei still has foresight. This matter involves the emperor of the human race. In my opinion, not only must we inform Huoyun Cave, but the opinions of the human religion cannot be ignored."

"Amitabha." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva even said: "Even if you really want to bring about the calamity of death with the power of the underworld, it is obviously very difficult to target an emperor who has the aura of an emperor and awakens the power of human blood. ."

The ten palaces of Yama all agreed.

It seems that the discussion on this matter will not come to a conclusion for a while.

Di Ting, who was following from the side, suddenly came up with a magical idea, and then boldly suggested to Yang Jian: "The next meeting should be held at the Temple of the True Lord in heaven."

Ok?
No one could react for a moment.

But Ting Di Ting went on to say: "In this way, we can discuss it in heaven for a few more days. It is said that one day in the sky and one year in the lower world. If you all can discuss it in heaven for a few more days, maybe Li Shimin himself will run out of life and his soul will return. When the earth is over, this matter will be settled, and you don't have to worry about it. After all, an emperor like Li Shimin is hard to come by one in a hundred."

Snapped!
Then it received a blow on the head. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked apologetic to everyone present, especially Emperor Fengdu and Yang Jian, "The poor monk's lax discipline has made everyone laugh."

But I have to say that there is indeed some truth in listening carefully to this "drag trick".

Sometimes, not dealing with it may be the best choice.

And Yang Jian often uses such methods. For example, some immortals in the lower realms, as long as they do not harm sentient beings in the three realms, they will always turn a blind eye, close one eye and wait for the other person to finish their mortal life, or... Only after the "lover" has passed away will they be "brought to justice", but they are always treated as lightly as possible.

Either face the wall and think about it, or be demoted from the priesthood, or simply be demoted to the mortal world.
However, Erlang Zhenjun will never be soft on those immortals who always ignore the safety of the three realms for the sake of their "lovers". Even if their souls are destroyed, it will be an advantage for them.

There are even many who have been thrown into the eternal hell and will never be able to get over again.

When the Great Sage was still in the Three Realms, he even invited the Great Sage to come to the True King Temple to give sermons to the prisoners.
The great sage could really agree to such an outrageous question.
Drain the estuary.

Yang House.

After returning to the human world from the underworld, Yang Jian did not go to the True King Temple immediately. There were six-eared macaques and eight sisters in the True King Temple, and everything was taken care of in an orderly manner. In addition, the Meishan brothers, who were very capable of executing, were assisting. There is no need for him to bother with every detail.

He also had a half-day of leisure time
"father!"

A young man, about six or seven years old, saw Yang Jian coming back. He immediately jumped up and bumped his head into Yang Jian's arms.

Snapped!
Yang Jianxin slapped him on the ground mercilessly. He seemed to be a little disgusted.

The young man didn't care, so he rolled on the ground very skillfully, stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said with a smile: "Dad, why did you come back in the daytime today?"

The young master who calls Yang Jian "father" is naturally no one else. He is the current young master of the Yang family, the only son of Zhenjun Erlang.

Because Cun Xin and her mother traveled to the Three Realms, Yang Jian's plan to get another caring little cotton-padded jacket came to nothing for the time being. But the good news is that his apprentice Xiaoyu has been staying in Yang Mansion.

After accepting Xiaoyu that year, Fox Sister and Fifth Brother simply left Xiaoyu to study in Yang Mansion, and the two of them returned to Wankuo Mountain. Xiaoyu only returned to Wankuo Mountain to reunite with her parents during the holidays. .

However, although Xiaoyu is Yang Jian's disciple, Master Yuding and Yang Tianyou usually teach her as well.

Disciples and grandchildren are also grandchildren and cannot be treated differently.

"Master."

Xiaoyu slowed down a step, and after her junior brother stood up from the ground, she came to the master. First she bowed to the master. Then she saw that the master kept a straight face, so she also restrained her respectful expression.
Then she smiled, and the master also smiled and pressed her head, saying: "You... I have told you so many times, but I still can't change it."

"Dad." Yang Jian shouted to Yang Tianyou in the yard, "Don't teach me those Confucian rules in the future. This brat has not made any progress and instead made Xiaoyu learn everything."
