Reborn Jinshan Temple

Chapter 41
For the next period of time, Li Yi has been trying to break through the foundation building period.

The accumulation of true energy in his body was enough, what he had to do next was to keep polishing until the first seed of profound light was condensed and turned liquid into solid.

This is a very time-consuming process, and many people are stuck in the foundation building period and cannot break through for a lifetime.

Li Yi has been used to advancing by leaps and bounds these days, and he suddenly returned to this kind of boring practice, which is naturally a little uncomfortable.

A few days later, when Xuanzang came to tell him that he planned to go to Chang'an, he completely gave up the idea of ​​breaking through the Taoist alchemy stage in a short time.

"Who is this little benefactor?" Xuanzang couldn't help asking, looking at the young man in white with his arms folded at the door.

Li Yi glanced at Bai Suzhen and said with a smile: "He, he is a friend I invited to help protect the law."

Xuanzang nodded. The so-called heroes cherish each other, and this handsome guy is actually the same. He glanced at this young man who was more handsome than himself, and then set his eyes on Li Yi, who had a calm face, and said hesitantly: "Where do you plan to go next, brother?"

Li Yi guessed his thoughts, knowing that this period of getting along has made this junior brother more dependent on him, so he didn't point it out, "Naturally, I will continue to escort the junior brother to Chang'an..."

Xuanzang was overjoyed, said the departure time, and left.

Li Yi looked at his back thoughtfully, practice is not easy, relying on his own practice step by step, just breaking through to the alchemy stage does not know what year of the monkey will wait.

It's not that he has never thought of going to the world with his sword and wandering in a wider world, but with the memory of Ye Xuanzi, he knows in his heart how dangerous the world outside Nanfang Buzhou is.For the current him, probably only by continuing to follow Xuanzang can he encounter more opportunities.

Bai Suzhen looked at his pensive face, hesitated for a long time and finally couldn't help asking: "Are you leaving here?"

Li Yi nodded, thinking about his future plans, slightly absent-minded.

Bai Suzhen bit her lip: "You, don't you have anything to say to me?" She was ashamed in her heart, she clearly wanted to pursue herself, but she didn't say anything. Do you want to wait for a daughter like me to speak...

Li Yi didn't know her little thoughts. When he came back to his senses, he was a little dazed, and he took Xiaoqing who had climbed to the top of his head at some point in his hand, "By the way, what are your plans next, Xiaoqing looks like this?" Are you really all right?"

Bai Suzhen's face turned cold, she stretched out her hand to grab Xiaoqing, and hummed: "You have to take care of it!" Then she walked out.

"Inexplicable..." The second monk Li Yizhang was puzzled, but he thought that Bai Suzhen would be the absolute heroine in the story of the White Snake in the future, and there would be nothing wrong with the two of them, so he didn't worry about it.

Early the next morning, when the sky just dawned, he left Jiangzhou with Yin Kaishan and others.

After admiring the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers for a few days along the way, I didn't realize that I was already outside Chang'an City.

He has been to Chang'an more than once in later generations, but compared with the magnificent building in front of him, it still pales in comparison.

Many mountains, rivers and place names in this world are exactly the same as those in later generations, but it is obvious that this is no longer the original world.

Walking into the city, you can see the rich people, the collection of department stores, and the atmosphere of Tiantang, which is extraordinary.

With Xuanzang's light, Li Yi saw Tang Taizong in this world for the first time.

However, the protagonist of this trip was not him. In the court, Li Shimin granted Chen Guangrui the title of a great scholar, who followed the court to manage the government, and also granted Xuanzang the title of monk official of Hongfu Temple to study Buddhism, but he was only praised by Li Shimin.

Li Yi is a common man. Although he never thought about getting any reward from the beginning, but seeing Li Shimin expose the past lightly like this, he still feels a little uncomfortable deep in his heart. He originally admired the Emperor Taizong in history. , and it disappeared for a while.

……

On the other side, although Bai Suzhen left in a fit of anger, she followed the crowd secretly and came to Chang'an.

But just when she was about to enter the city gate, there was a sudden throbbing in her heart.

The majestic city in Li Yi's eyes, at this moment, in Bai Suzhen's eyes, has become a raging sun, burning her soul crazily!

The Great Tang started to recruit scholars, and now the entire Chang'an city is full of Confucianism. Even some humble traffickers and pawns can say a few words of Confucian classics. A monster in the alchemy stage, even a demon king in the Nascent Soul stage, would not dare to get involved lightly.

Bai Suzhen was terrified, and wanted to leave, but found that her whole body had been locked by those forces, and the scorching mighty sky was suppressed crazily, and strands of blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth.

"Are you going to die here today..." With some bitterness in her heart, she glanced at Xiaoqing who had passed out on her arm guiltily.

A faint white smoke came out of her body, it was the flesh and blood on her body being burned and charred by the awe-inspiring righteousness, out of the instinct of a monster, a layer of white scales with a cold light began to appear on her body surface.

Although the appearance of this layer of scales made her feel better, she knew in her heart that once she completely showed her original shape, she would really die without a place to bury her!
At this moment, a trembling old woman suddenly supported Bai Suzhen's body, "Little girl, this place is not for you!" As she spoke, she saw her supporting Bai Suzhen and walking into the forest outside the city .

At this time, Bai Suzhen's sanity has begun to be a little blurred, and she can vaguely see some of the old woman's face, "It's you..."

The old woman just smiled faintly, her hunched body gradually straightened up, the wind was blowing under her feet, and within a short while, she had disappeared into the vast forest with Bai Suzhen.

……

Li Yi, who had just walked out of the palace, seemed to be aware of it. Looking in the direction of the city gate, he couldn't help shaking his head: "I must be crazy, I thought I felt Bai Suzhen's breath..."

Although Li Shimin didn't reward him as a monk, he still had the cheek to follow Xuanzang to Hongfu Temple.

Originally, he still had some disdain for Li Shimin to enshrine Xuanzang as a monk in this monastery. Should he be a monk?It wasn't until he gradually became familiar with the Hongfu Temple that he realized that the reward Xuanzang received was actually not simple.

Like the dragon head of the Taoist sect, in the Tang Dynasty, the Buddhist sect also had an officially recognized leader, called "The Great Explanation of the World Monk Gang", replaced by later generations, it is equivalent to the president of the Buddhist Association, and this Hongfu Temple is dedicated to The place for these monks to study, that is to say, Li Shimin's award is actually for Xuanzang to come here to be gilded.

This is actually easy to understand. The ancients admired loyalty and filial piety. The story of Xuanzang saving his mother gradually spread. The name of filial piety is outside. His father, Chen Guangrui, was the champion of the imperial examination in the past, and he himself was a student of the emperor. Such a loyal and filial generation naturally made Li Shimin look up to him. , I want to train him to be a Buddhist leader and control the world Buddhism for him.
