Chapter 9 The Tang King's Dream of Becoming an Immortal
The news that the Heavenly Court withdrew from the Calamity was instantly spread from the Lingxiao Palace.
For a time, it swept the entire prehistoric world. After hesitating again and again, the powerful people took the treasures they had treasured for a long time and finally turned into a stream of light and went to the Heavenly Court.
Today is different from the past. If someone voluntarily gives up the merits of the Calamity, then it will be a thing without an owner. It is a great thing, so naturally you have to strive for it.
Like the Dragon Clan, the Wind Clan, the Qilin Clan, etc., they all sent strong men with full sincerity.
Like their races that were abandoned by the Heavenly Dao several Calamities ago, now the tribesmen are withering and can only shrink in a corner of the prehistoric world.
Living a life of fear and anxiety, they were once the protagonists of the world, but now they have become like dogs without a home, not to mention that they are in danger of their future, and they are also constantly suffering from various karmas.
Their obsession with the merits of the Heavenly Dao is crazier than any other force, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are desperate, just to seek a chance for their people.
On the other hand, the Tang Dynasty in the mortal world has really kept Jiang Yuliang busy these days.
For the system task, prepare for an unprecedented grand scene of self-destruction.
"Calculate the time, Guanyin should be here soon, right? The plan is still too hasty."
Jiang Yuliang, who had just finished the water and land conference, looked gentle and charitable, and glanced at the believers under his feet.
He felt sad for the King of Tang. He was the emperor of the nine-five, but he was reduced to a chess piece for the West to seek luck.
At this point, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
If this method works, then his plan will be carried out perfectly.
If it is operated properly, it can also be unprecedentedly worshipped by thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, it will be a good death to sacrifice for the country? Maximize the value of death?
"I don't know what kind of reward there will be at that time. This broken system doesn't give any hints. It's really worrying."
At this moment, a eunuch came to Jiang Yuliang with a hunched body.
He looked at the little monk in front of him with some flattery, and was extremely confused in his heart. Why did His Majesty suddenly change his mind and start to use Buddhism.
Is it to resist the dominance of Taoism? Want to support Buddhism to check and balance Taoism?
But what else can monks do besides meditating and chanting every day? Observe the stars? Calculate the fortune? Or calculate state affairs?
Obviously, these are not things that he, a small eunuch, can ask about. The person who can make His Majesty value him so much must have his own extraordinary qualities.
"Master, His Majesty summons you."
He bowed slightly, without any arrogance, but with a smile on his face.
"So soon?"
"Please trouble the eunuch. If there is a chance, I will say a few good words for you in front of His Majesty."
Jiang Yuliang has lived two lives, so he naturally understands what the other party is thinking, and he doesn't mind going with the flow.
Now that His Majesty has summoned, I believe that Guanyin will come to Datang soon, right?
Thinking of his own plan and the system's rewards, the corners of his mouth can't help but rise.
"Thank you, Master."
The eunuch wanted to hear this, and respectfully took Jiang Yuliang to the carriage, and slowly went to the palace.
"Is this the legendary King of Tang?"
"No wonder he was able to develop the Tang Dynasty to an unprecedented height. The person who is called the Heavenly Khan is not just a name."
Jiang Yuliang looked at the King of Tang, and Li Shimin also looked him up and down.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Your Majesty, may you be well."
Li Shimin also hurriedly stood up, grabbed Jiang Yuliang, and exclaimed that they looked alike, too alike.
"Your Majesty, why do you say that?"
Jiang Yuliang was a little confused now. He started to make a move right away?
"I have been dreaming of immortals recently, saying that they would find a Taoist monk in the Tang Dynasty, go to the West to seek the true scriptures, and benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty."
"And you are the person chosen by the immortal in the dream."
The King of Tang told the other party everything in detail about his dream.
This is an immortal, and the other party also promised that as long as the Western Sutra is completed, then Li Shimin will also be considered a great merit, and it is not impossible to become an immortal.
This made him very excited, and he was busy looking for the person who was going to seek the scriptures mentioned by the immortal all day long.
Fortunately, God will not let down those who work hard, and he finally found this person, how can he not be excited?
Seeing the other party's indescribable joy, Jiang Yuliang knew that the other party's calculation had begun.
And he also invaded the other party's dream. Such despicable means can only be done by the West.
Taking a deep breath, looking at the King of Tang seriously, with a disappointed look, the excited King of Tang was a little confused.
"Your Majesty, is the immortal in your dream the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
The King of Tang laughed excitedly when he saw that the other party had said the immortal in his dream.
"Did the great master also dream of Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
"When did you go to the West to seek the true scriptures?"
The last doubts in the King of Tang's heart were dispelled, and he was sure that the other party was the person who was going to seek the scriptures.
"Your Majesty, why do you want to go to the West to seek the true scriptures? Can the Buddha of the West manage our Southern Continent, the Taoist land?"
"As the old saying goes, people with different paths cannot work together. Are you going to give up Taoism and turn to Western Buddhism?"
"Master, why do you say that?"
"Is it wrong for me to seek the true scriptures and benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty?"
Although the Tang King is kind, it does not mean that he has no temper.
When he was repeatedly questioned, he was still cold-faced, and a murderous atmosphere filled the entire imperial study.
And the other party was a Buddhist, but he always belittled his own beliefs, which made the Tang King very surprised.
Could it be that this person is a Buddhist traitor?
If it were someone else, he would be trembling with fear, but who is he, Jiang Yuliang? He has lived two lives and has his own system.
For his own plan, he had to win back the King of Tang and let him walk on the right path of the King of Man, instead of being a pawn for the West to gain fortune.
"Your Majesty, have you ever been to the Western world?"
"Have you ever heard of Buddhism?"
The King of Tang only cared about the immortal fate mentioned by the immortals in his dreams, and really didn't know what Western Buddhism was. He was either fighting or busy governing the country all his life.
How could he have free time to think about anything else? Hearing the other party mention it, he looked at the other party with interest, motioning you to continue, to see what reason you have to make me give up the immortal fate.
Jiang Yuliang sat upright, no longer hiding, and explained to the King of Tang earnestly.
The mortal world is just a world in the prehistoric world.
There are three supreme ways in the prehistoric world, divided into heaven, earth, and man.
The way of heaven controls thousands of immortals, and the way of earth controls countless ghosts in the underworld.
The way of man controls the fortune of the entire human race. After several catastrophes, the way of earth fled to the depths of chaos.
Since the reign of Emperor Xin, the human race has been completely divided up, and the name does not match the reality.
However, the human race reproduces quickly and has a large population, and the power of acquired merit generated by their beliefs is also extremely huge.
So much so that the major forces of immortals, Buddhas, and demons want to divide it up completely.
Looking at the shocked King Tang, Jiang Yuliang prepared the next level of strong medicine to wake him up from his dream.
His voice also became high-pitched and serious, even with a questioning tone.
"King Tang, you are the emperor of the world, and you are blessed with the good fortune of humanity. However, for your own selfishness, you are willing to become a pawn of the major forces and hand over the good fortune of the human race. Are you worthy of the throne of the emperor of the world?"
"You speak righteously and for the tens of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty, have you ever thought that you are their leader, you are their emperor, and only you can lead them to a happy and fulfilling life."
"If you all follow the trend and change your party, how can you let the people below live? Where will the country you have worked hard for go?"
"Are you waiting for others to rise up? Overthrow the Tang Dynasty and replace it? Or do you want the Tang Dynasty to prosper for a long time? Permanent inheritance?"
Jiang Yuliang's words were like a hammer, which directly knocked the King of Tang into a circle.
