No taboos in the world

Chapter 533: Helpers from the human world, the Bull Demon King pays homage

Wu Meiniang was a fifth-rank talent.

In the huge harem, her figure and appearance were indeed not bad, but they were not much better than those of other concubines.

It's just that compared to others, she is more ambitious and has more endurance.

Even though she was neglected and even deliberately ignored by Li Shimin for many years, she did not become self-pitying.

Of course, this is just from a mortal's perspective.

As a god, you can discover more unusual things.

She did have the imperial mandate, it was something she was born with.

The saying that women rule the world is not an empty talk.

Legend has it that the first person to discover this was Yuan Tiangang.

But in this world, it was obvious that someone had already placed a bet on her before Yuan Tiangang.

——Buddhism.

In fact, although the Tang Dynasty royal family respected Laozi Li Er as their ancestor, on the other hand, the Li family also maintained their belief in Buddhism, at least that was the case when Li Yuan was in power.

Li Jiancheng's nickname was "Bishamon".

Li Shimin's queen, Zhangsun, was nicknamed "Guanyinbi".

Of course, from the perspective of dynastic rule, whether to believe in Taoism or Buddhism is not a question of faith, but a very sensitive political issue.

Therefore, the vacillation of the Li Tang royal family can also be used as a balancing method against religious beliefs.

However, when the gods and Buddhas in heaven suddenly left their high seats and came down to the earth in person, the power of choice was basically away from the emperor.

Although Li Shimin's visit to the underworld extended his lifespan, who can say that this was not a threat or intimidation from Buddhism?

No matter how powerful the emperor of the human world is, he is always stripped of the right to practice cultivation and is essentially still just a mortal.

Even with the blessing of humanity and good fortune, there are still limits to what mortals can do.

This is the sorrow of the human dynasty in the three realms of the ancient world.

Let’s talk about Wu Meiniang.

Hong Chen still doesn't know how much connection she has with Buddhism.

But whether combining it with history or based on the present, he believes that the other party will never remain mediocre.

Li Shimin was supposed to die of illness next year, but now it has been ten years longer.

It is impossible that Wu Meiniang did not take any action in these ten years.

Otherwise, after Li Zhi ascended the throne, she would have no chance at all.

Just wanting to hide it from Li Shimin was naturally quite difficult.

As a mortal, she would certainly seek help from Buddhism.

"I will help you keep an eye on her. Do you want us to keep some evidence for you?" Fairy Qiongxiao suggested kindly.

Hong Chen thought about it for a moment and shook his head to refuse.

"No need."

"Why?"

"Although I am here to be the emperor, it does not mean that I have to play any political tricks with him or her. Their rules cannot bind me, so why should I tie my own hands and feet to follow other people's rules?"

Fairy Qiongxiao smiled playfully: "The emperor is indeed domineering."

Hong Chen also smiled and said, "Let them play. Li Qingchen is still young anyway. As long as he doesn't die, let them do whatever they want."

"Well, since you said so yourself, I won't try to persuade you. However, although the great catastrophe is going on right now and the Buddhist sect cannot figure out the true origin of your clone, when Tang Sanzang returns to the Tang Dynasty after obtaining the scriptures, the heaven will regain its clarity and your clone will be attacked by everyone. Even your original body may not be able to rest in peace."

"It's useless to think about the future too early. Besides, by then, the trend of the spread of Buddhism to the East will have ended. Even if we confront them head-on, why should we be afraid of them?"

Qiong Xiao's eyes sparkled, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is right. I was just worrying too much."

Hong Chen thought for a moment, and then said, "But the fairy did remind me that it wouldn't be bad to make some preparations in advance." After a pause, he asked, "I wonder if the three fairies are interested in creating clones and entering reincarnation to travel to the human world?"

Hearing this, Qiong Xiao was stunned, his eyes rolled around, and he smiled strangely.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty? Are you going to start selecting concubines for your clone now?"

Hearing this, Hong Chen was shocked.

Although the incarnation after reincarnation has been separated from the original body to a certain extent, if the original body wishes, it can even directly cut off the connection and make the other party a completely independent life form.

Therefore, after many gods and immortals reincarnate, talking about love will not violate the laws of heaven.

But what Qiong Xiao said was no different from the words of a tiger or wolf.

"Fairy, you worry too much. I just think that if a woman is willing to accept it, why should a general be her husband? The Three Fairies are innate creatures, born in ancient times, and their wisdom is known far and wide. Even if they reincarnate as mortals, they will definitely be heroes in the world. Besides, I think the fairy has stayed in heaven enough, so why not take this opportunity to visit the lower world and relax. In this way, my clone can also have the help of the three fairies, and everything can be done with half the effort."

Qiong Xiao thought about it and couldn't help but feel moved.

She was not very interested in any heroines, but taking the opportunity to leave heaven and travel to the lower world was exactly what she wanted.

"Can we retain our memories after reincarnation?"

Hong Chen spread out his right hand and released the Xuanling Samsara Realm: "I personally sent you into the reincarnation, so you can choose whether to keep your memory. But I also want to let the fairy know that when you come to the human world, you cannot bring magic power with you. Unless it is an extreme moment, you can only be a mortal body."

"That makes sense." Qiong Xiao nodded slightly. After thinking for a while, she said, "I have noted the emperor's proposal, but this matter cannot be decided by me alone. I will go back and tell my elder sister and younger sister, and the three of us will discuss it carefully and then give us a reply. Okay?"

"can."

"Okay, I'll take my leave then."

"Fairy, walk slowly."

With the birth of Li Qingchen, a member of the Tang Dynasty royal family, the luck in Hong Chen's body that had transformed into nine dragons quietly underwent some strange changes.

What is most obvious on the surface is that the total amount of Kowloon's luck seems to have broken through some unknown limit and is gradually rising again.

Secondly, the density of the Nine Dragons' luck was also increasing step by step. The feeling of heaviness that was deepening every moment not only did not bring him pressure, but made his body, soul and true spirit feel more solid and comfortable.

Finally, the change in luck directly led to the improvement of the laws of the Great Dao. The status of the Emperor of the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao made the Three Thousand Great Daos increasingly clear in his eyes. He couldn't imagine what kind of miraculous changes would happen in the future after he ascended to the throne of the Four Emperors of the Heavenly Dao and the Emperor of the Human Dao.

This suggestion put forward by the ancestors in Huoyun Cave really worked and was extremely efficient.

It's just that most people can't do this.

Even Hong Chen had to start cautiously and stealthily.

If outsiders knew his ultimate goal, they would probably interrupt his plan without hesitation. After thinking for a while, Hong Chen called three of his men.

Jia Xu, Xu Chu and Lu Bu.

Faced with the option of reincarnation again, the three agreed without much consideration.

Jia Xu is a military strategist and can give advice to his clone. His poison is a bit poisonous, but if it isn't, how can he defeat those monks?
Xu Chu is a military commander, and in the early stage he can be kept by his side as a guard. His clone cannot practice in the short term, so he needs a close bodyguard to block assassinations from mortals. If a god takes action, Sanxiao Tianzun and Hong Chen will naturally protect him.

Lu Bu was a fierce general, but he was ruined in his previous life. He was reincarnated again to wash away his wrongdoings and evolve into a top-notch military general. He will surely make rapid progress in the future if he embarks on the path of cultivation.

After sending them into reincarnation and marking them with his own hands, Hong Chen went outside the yard and took a look at the golden lotus in the pond.

It is estimated that in a few years, the ninth-grade golden lotus will be fully grown.

At that time, I must take it to Lingshan to chat with Duobao Tathagata.

The main point is to never forget your original intention.

The days in heaven are mostly monotonous. Hong Chen has long been accustomed to this kind of life and does not feel bored.

What's more, there will always be people or monsters who suddenly appear and bring some fun and embellishment to his ordinary life of enlightenment.

Just like now:
"Brother, there's a cow outside the door. It says it's the powerful Bull Demon King from Moyun Cave in Jilei Mountain. He's here to ask for a meeting with a token in his hand." As he spoke, Yang Chan handed an ancient black token to Hong Chen.

Hong Chen, who was painting, was concentrating on his painting. Without moving his eyebrows, he just said, "Why are you here to report? Shouldn't you be practicing swordplay?"

Hearing this, Yang Chan carefully stuck out her tongue and said in a tender voice, "Oh, Senior Brother, I was also tired from practicing sword skills, so I went out with Sister Tingxin and Sister Yan to relax. When I came back, I happened to see a cow kneeling outside the Imperial Palace, so I brought the token in to show you."

"Oh, where did you go to relax?"

"We went to Yaochi to find the Seven Fairies. Yaochi was really fun. We also enjoyed the flowers with the Fairy of Flowers and drank a lot of flower wine. I brought back a few bottles for you to try."

Several bottles with lifelike flowers painted on their exteriors were placed in a row. Although they had not been opened yet, Hong Chen could already smell the rich floral fragrance.

Without waiting for his response, Yang Chan said again: "Brother, can we bring the Seven Fairies and the Fairy of Flowers to visit the Imperial Palace? Oh, by the way, there are also the Fairy of Hibiscus, the Fairy of Gushe, the Fairy of Chang'e..." She counted them one by one on her fingers.

Hong Chen put down his pen and looked up: "Didn't you go to Yaochi? Why are there so many fairies in Yaochi, even the fairy Chang'e from Guanghan Palace is there?"

Yang Chan blinked and said confidently, "That's because we went to Guanghan Palace before."

Hong Chen suddenly realized: "Oh, so you always sneaked out when you were practicing sword before."

Yang Chan was not afraid at all. She took a step forward and grabbed Hong Chen's sleeve and shook him: "Oh, senior brother~ I really practiced sword very hard. Don't you always praise me for my great progress? I just ask them out to play when I feel that I have practiced enough!" She raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of seriousness.

Hong Chen sighed.

"Now you always say it's almost there, almost there. But when you meet the enemy in the future, you will find it's always just a little bit short, just a little bit short."

Yang Jian (angry): You imitate me?!
"Senior Brother~~~" Yang Chan acted coquettishly, with the tail tone dragging through a hundred and eight turns.

"Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you, so I won't say anything to you."

"Hehe, I knew that my senior brother treats me the best!"

Yang Jian (angry): What did you say? !

Hong Chen picked up the token on the table. There was only one word on it: intercept.

Although the material of the token is not rare treasure, Hong Chen can sense a familiar aura from it.

Just like the cushion he often sits on when he is practicing enlightenment.

The cushion was brought back from under the sacred buttocks of Master Tongtian in Zixiao Palace.

This token naturally has the same origin.

Yang Chan said: "Brother, I know this is the token of Jiejiao, but what kind of deity was that cow in Jiejiao before? How come I have never heard of it?"

"He doesn't look like a saint's disciple, nor does he look like one of the Seven Immortals, but he is indeed an important figure in Jiejiao."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"Saint's mount."

Yang Chan's eyes suddenly widened in shock.

After a while, she said, "Since it is a saint's mount, why would it... kneel at the gate of the imperial palace?"

"Of course it's because he encountered some troubles, but he was too embarrassed or didn't have the courage to seek help from Jiejiao Immortal. After all, since the Conferred God Ceremony, he has been away from Jiejiao and has lived a comfortable life for many years. I'm afraid he never thought that he would be involved in a catastrophe."

Yang Chan frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that because he survived the Conferred God Tribulation safely, he underestimated the tribulation of the Journey to the West?"

"That's how it should be."

"So do you still want to see him, brother? He must be here with trouble."

Hong Chen did not answer but asked: "What do you think, should I meet him?"

Yang Chan pursed her lips and thought for a long time, then shook her head gently: "It's better to disappear. I know that Senior Brother has been involved with Jiejiao for a long time, and even the Zhuxian Sword is in Senior Brother's hands. But since Bull Demon King has not regarded himself as a disciple of Jiejiao for so many years, why should we care about the token in his hand now? The Journey to the West is also a great disaster, Senior Brother is better not to get involved."

In fact, Hong Chen originally thought so.

But when he held the token, he couldn't help but think of the figure of Master Tongtian sitting alone in the Zixiao Palace.

He would also involuntarily think of what Master Tongtian once said to him.

The little guys that this saint cares about, besides his disciples, should also include the cow that once carried him through the primitive times, right?

The younger generation may do things that the elders don't like for various reasons, but the elders do not necessarily blame the younger generation for it.

Put yourself in his shoes. If Garuda made a mistake in the human world and forgot his teachings, he might not be able to have the heart to expel Garuda from Xuanling and leave him to fend for himself.

After all, when he first rode on Garuda's back, it was just a slightly larger golden eagle from the mortal world, not even a little demon with undeveloped intelligence.

Hong Chen accepted the favor from Sage Tongtian, but had no way to repay him.

He could only take care of the emotional needs of the lonely saint in these corners.

"Well, let's meet him. Bring him in."

"Okay." Yang Chan was helpless. "Brother, you are so kind and righteous. I'm just afraid that others won't remember your kindness."

"Silly girl, what do you think the Zhuxian Sword is? I also got the Juexian Sword, and in the future there will be the Luxian Sword and Xianxian Sword, and even the Zhuxian Formation Diagram. This favor will take a long time to repay."

Hearing this, Yang Chan's eyes suddenly lit up and she nodded instantly like a chick pecking at rice.

"I was wrong. Senior brother is right! We should have a proper meeting with this Bull Demon King!"

The Bull Demon King may not have face.

But in the entire three realms of the prehistoric world, how many people dare not give face to the Zhu Xian Sword Formation?
