From the black robe, the battle of the heavens begins

Just as Sun Wukong was immersed in the moment of reuniting with Que'er, Tang Sanzang on the other side unknowingly fell into a complicated emotional entanglement.

The Queen of the Kingdom of Women was deeply attracted by Tang Sanzang's grace at a glance.

When she learned that the elegant and handsome monk in front of her was from the Tang Dynasty in the East and was the younger brother of the Tang Emperor, she was even more delighted and decided to recruit him as her husband.

After all, for her, this political marriage was definitely unavoidable. Whether it was Li Shimin or Tang Sanzang, it didn't make much difference who she married.

Moreover, compared to marrying the elderly Li Shimin, she was more inclined to the young, promising and elegant Tang Sanzang in her heart.

More importantly, she really liked Tang Sanzang

However, the development of things was far from what the queen wanted.

First of all, as a devout Buddhist, Tang Sanzang always adheres to the Buddhist rules and regulations, and has always kept a distance from the love between men and women. How could he easily agree to the queen's request?

Secondly, Li Shimin really likes the queen as a beauty. As the Khan of Heaven, he has had countless women in his life.

In this world, only the queen, the king of a country, and the gods and Buddhas in heaven can make him interested.

Of course, although Li Shimin can't forget the beauty, when weighing the pros and cons between the country and the beauty, he knows which is more important, and naturally will not be shaken by his children's love.

If Tang Sanzang is willing to accept this marriage, perhaps he is willing to help him;

But Tang Sanzang's heart is as hard as a rock, and he is devoted to Buddhism. He is determined not to let go, which gives Li Shimin hope.

In this way, the situation suddenly became deadlocked.

In fact, Tang Sanzang's inner world is also experiencing a fierce storm, and entanglement and hesitation are tormenting him like a shadow.

Human nature, this complex and contradictory existence, makes his state of mind more and more unpredictable.

When the Queen of the Kingdom of Women took the initiative to throw herself into his arms and was very attentive, Tang Sanzang's persistence in his heart became stronger.

Because for a devout Buddhist, severing worldly ties and abandoning all desires is the supreme pursuit.

This sense of honor and mission is like a towering mountain, weighing heavily on his heart, making it easy for him to suppress the faint joy in his heart.

Therefore, even in the face of the queen's stunning beauty, he can still be calm and unmoved.

However, things are unpredictable. When someone began to compete with him for the queen's favor, the possessiveness in human nature quietly awakened and quickly spread.

Those things that he originally regarded as dispensable or even disdained suddenly became extremely precious at this moment.

Especially when he realized that there was Li Shimin around him who had been waiting to get the queen, Tang Sanzang's heart, which had always been as calm as water, finally rippled.

Whenever he thought that if he rejected the queen's love, she would probably turn around and throw herself into Li Shimin's arms, the feeling of heartache and unwillingness would bite his soul like a poisonous snake, making him almost unbearable.

At this moment, Tang Sanzang stood at the crossroads of life. On one side was his lifelong cause of seeking scriptures and his persistent belief in Buddhism, and on the other side was his affectionate confidante.

And no matter which side, once missed, it would be lost forever, and there would be no room for recovery.

This dilemma made him struggle painfully like falling into a bottomless abyss, not knowing how to choose, and the balance in his heart swung back and forth between ideals and emotions.

This is why Xiao was deliberately planning this conspiracy, and using the queen as bait was a key part of his entire plan.

With the help of the queen, Tang Sanzang and Li Shimin were provoked to cause conflicts, thus destroying their originally close relationship, and thereby shattering Tang Sanzang's firm Buddhist heart, making him hesitate.

Because as long as there is even a slight flaw or crack in the Buddhist heart, the nightmare hidden in the dark will be able to take advantage of it.

At that time, the nightmare will use its powerful power to further erode Tang Sanzang's thoughts through dreams.

In this way, Tang Sanzang will inevitably be deeply trapped in the love calamity and unable to extricate himself, and will never be able to move forward on the road to the west.

Xiao Manxin thought that his plan was flawless and foolproof.

However, man's plan is not as good as God's plan. Just when Tang Sanzang's Buddhist heart began to waver, Guanyin Bodhisattva immediately appeared in front of Li Shimin and explained to him in detail the core of this love calamity.

Guanyin Bodhisattva told Li Shimin earnestly that if he insisted on competing with Tang Sanzang for the queen, resulting in Tang Sanzang's failure to successfully pass the love hurdle, then the entire journey to the west would end in failure.

Once the journey to the west failed, the Tang Dynasty would no longer be blessed by Buddhism.

These words were like a revelation, awakening Li Shimin suddenly.

He deeply realized that in front of the entire Tang Dynasty, a mere woman was really insignificant.

So, he made a decisive decision, not only severing all ties with the queen without hesitation, but also issued an extremely severe order:

Any official in the Tang Dynasty who dared to have any dealings with the queen would be severely punished and his entire family would be implicated!

At this time of change, Li Shimin's sad exit was like a basin of ice water poured on the gradually warming feelings between the queen and Tang Sanzang, instantly bringing them back to their original form and reducing them to freezing point.

What made Xiao even more angry was that the Buddhist sect did not come to him to negotiate peace first, but took action directly.

This was undoubtedly a disregard for his authority, which directly increased the weight of the chips in his heart. If he did not add money, he would definitely abolish Tang Sanzang.

However, although the Buddhist sect had made all the calculations, as the saying goes, "the higher the Tao, the higher the devil", Xiao would naturally not sit and wait for death.

The Buddhist sect thought it had used a "Zhang Liang plan", but Xiao had already had a "ladder to climb over the wall" to deal with it.

In fact, the role played by Li Shimin in this matter was nothing more than arousing Tang Sanzang's deep desire for possession.

Apart from this, all other aspects were insignificant details.

Now, although Li Shimin has left the stage, Xiao chose to go out in person to add another fierce fire between the two.

So, Xiao did not hesitate to send the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, carrying an extremely rich gift, to the lower world to propose marriage to Tang Sanzang in the Kingdom of Women.

The dignified god personally came down!

Let's see how Tang Sanzang will deal with it?

After all, there are only two paths in front of him at this moment:

Either continue to embark on the journey to the west, complete the mission of obtaining the scriptures, and watch the queen marry someone else;

Or break the Buddhist precepts and stay with the queen for the rest of his life, and live together forever.
