Chapter 1609 Is My Buddhist Teaching Profound Enough?

"Then may I ask the Great Heavenly Venerable? How can I become the master of this small world?" Li Shimin looked at Liu Xu and asked excitedly.

"Just merge with the godhead of this world!" Liu Xu said lightly.

"Then how can we find this godhood?" Li Shimin asked.

"I don't know either!" Unexpectedly, Liu Xu spread his hands and said, "After all, this is the first time I have created a subsidiary world, and I am actually confused about the specific method. Although in other worlds, the best way is to kill all life, or strip away their original beliefs, then the godhead will naturally appear. It's just that I don't like this method, so you need to find it yourself!"

As he spoke, Liu Xu patted Li Shimin on the body and said, "Don't be anxious. This world is yours, and no one can take it away from you. You can stay in this world and ponder until you find a way to be in harmony with the Tao!"

After saying this, Liu Xu disappeared, leaving Li Shimin smiling bitterly. After Li Shimin came down from the mountain and returned to his family, he never mentioned anything about the Lord of the World.

Although everyone present here is a loyal minister of the Lingyan Pavilion and can be absolutely trusted, this involves the position of the first Daluo Jinxian after all, and Li Shimin does not want to give anyone else a chance.

"Father, where are we going now?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.

"Where else can we go? Of course, we should go to Luoyang to meet my talented Wu lady!" Li Shimin said coldly. Anyway, the Great Venerable had already told him that he had plenty of time and there was no need to rush.

So at this time, Li Shimin didn't want to think about anything in accordance with the Tao. He just wanted to kill the bitch Wu Zetian.

After leaving the hill, Li Shimin ordered Wang Xiaojie to lead his troops to escort the old man and his family to hide, and he himself led the Lingyan Pavilion sightseeing group directly into Luoyang City.

When entering the city, Li Shimin also saw his own wanted poster on the city wall. However, there was not even a name on the poster, and the portrait was also blurry. Li Shimin was standing next to the poster, and no one knew that the wanted criminal was here.

Of course, because there were many old acquaintances in Luoyang City, Li Shimin did not show his true appearance at this time. Instead, he used magic to smear his face, making him look like an ordinary person.

After arriving in Luoyang, Li Shimin also received an astonishing news, that is, Wu Zetian will ascend the throne in the Mingtang tomorrow and officially call herself emperor, and at the same time abolish the Li Tang ancestral temple, etc.

Upon hearing the news, Li Shimin, who had originally planned to cause trouble for Wu Zetian immediately, decided to be patient for one night and wait until Wu Zetian's coronation ceremony the next day. He would then ruthlessly remove the bitch Wu Zetian in front of all the ministers and envoys from all nations.

So Li Shimin and his entourage planned to find a place to stay temporarily. However, because Wu Zetian ascended the throne at that time, the entire Luoyang city was filled with officials from all over the country, envoys from various countries, and other ordinary people who had come to join in the fun. There was not even an empty inn in Luoyang city, making it impossible to live there.

However, this did not pose a problem for the gods. They simply broke into the home of an official and cast their magic, making the family clear out almost all the guest rooms without them knowing anything, allowing Li Shimin and others to stay there and wait for the coronation ceremony the next day.

Li Shimin fell asleep quickly with anticipation for the next day, but there was one person who tossed and turned and had trouble falling asleep. This was naturally our Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.

Although Li Zhi was beaten badly by Li Shimin, and although Li Zhi hated Wu Zetian, the bitch, and thought of his two sons who were killed, the problem was that this Li Zhi was Li Zhi when Li Shimin had just passed away. Everything Wu Zetian did was just something written in books to him, and he himself had no actual experience. On the contrary, Li Zhi's memory of Wu Zetian still stayed at the best time, when she served his father carefully, with a big waist and charming charm.

Li Zhi understood that his father would probably kill Wu Zetian the next day...if he did not find a way to save Wu Zetian.

"Forget it, I'll go see Mei Niang. Maybe what's written in the book is false... No, even if it's true, Mei Niang is just a knowledgeable Wu talent. I once held her in my arms and promised to protect her for life. How can I go back on my word now?" Thinking of this, Li Zhi made up his mind to save Wu Meiniang's life.

So Li Zhi used magic to secretly leave this temporary residence, and then slipped directly into the imperial palace in Luoyang.

Because of the magic, Li Zhi was walking in the most conspicuous position in the palace. Even though there was a team of patrolling soldiers two meters away, no one could detect Li Zhi's presence, allowing him to reminisce and stroll around the palace like a cursory visit.

"Here...here...and here, they are all the same as when I left. Not even a blade of grass or a tree has changed!" Li Zhi muttered to himself with great emotion when he saw these former landscapes.

Suddenly, Li Zhi saw something familiar again.

"Is this my Qianyuan Palace?" Seeing this more familiar palace in front of him, Li Zhi was so excited that he wanted to cry, because this was the palace where Li Zhi had lived when he was in Luoyang.

Because Chang'an had a serious food problem at that time, most of the food needed by the entire city relied on water and land transportation. Therefore, in the spring and winter when the water supply was not abundant, the Li Tang royal family would bring civil and military officials, as well as their families, a total of more than 10 people, to Luoyang to live.

In this way, the burden that the entire Chang'an needs to bear will be reduced by about half, avoiding the entire city from falling into the dilemma of food shortage... What, you ask why just over 10 people running to Luoyang can reduce half of the burden of a city with a population of two million?

That is naturally because these 10 people consumed various daily necessities and resources equivalent to those needed by 100 million people.

Therefore, Li Zhi also had his own fixed palace and residence in Luoyang City. Seeing these again now, he naturally feels infinite emotion.

"I still remember that Mei Niang and I met here. At that time, Mei Niang was still a little palace maid. I fell into the water because of being naughty, so Mei Niang brought me clothes and helped me change. That's how our wonderful acquaintance began!" Li Zhi looked at the Qianyuan Hall which was getting closer and closer, and there were more and more emotions and memories in his heart.

Especially when he thought about how he and Wu Meiniang met, he would often find various opportunities to hang out in the Qianyuan Hall. Almost every room in the Qianyuan Hall was a battlefield between him and Meiniang. It was almost like his and Wu Meiniang's wedding room.

In this world, I seem to have been dead for 10 years. I don’t know if Mei Niang still remembers my Qianyuan Palace... Li Zhi lowered his head and said to himself, "Forget it. If Mei Niang still remembers it, and even still lives in Qianyuan Palace on the eve of her enthronement, and remembers the relationship between us, then I will definitely find ways to save Mei Niang's life. At worst, I will be beaten by my father for a few more decades..."

Having said that, Li Zhi stepped directly into the Qianyuan Hall, and then saw that the entire Qianyuan Hall was full of palace maids and eunuchs serving, which made Li Zhi very happy, because this meant that Wu Zetian was living in the Qianyuan Hall at this time, and she still remembered him.

But when Li Zhi stepped into the Qianyuan Hall, before he could talk to Wu Zetian, he saw a bald monk lying on his former bed, asking Wu Zetian, "Your Majesty, is my Buddhist teaching profound enough?"
