Datang
Tang Taizong Li Shimin is also an old man now. Not only did the road to immortality not bring any benefits to the Tang Dynasty, but he also lost many masters of the Tang Dynasty, even his most beloved national teacher Yuan Tiangang.

He also disappeared mysteriously at that time.

"Ugh!"

Li Shimin looked at the familiar figures below, and heaved a long sigh.

Stroking his gray beard, Li Shimin seemed to see his end.

"It seems that I won't see my Great Tang rule the world in my lifetime!"

The ministers off the field were also full of sighs. Since the road to immortality, Datang's vitality has been severely injured, and the frontier has been counterattacked by Daming because of this.

"My great Tang and Kyushu power is now reduced to the point of indemnity!" Li Shimin waved his sleeves, and sat down on the dragon chair with a livid face.

What made Li Shimin even more anxious was that in the past ten years, the masters of the Tang Dynasty had been exodus, and countless gifted sons chose to go to Xueyue City and Jixia Academy.

Today's Datang has a trend of withering talents and decadence.

Just when Li Shimin was at a loss, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, the presiding officer of Hongfu Temple is seeking an audience with Yayoi!"

Hearing this sentence, Li Shimin was also taken aback for a while.

This Hongfu Temple is the place where his younger brother Tang Sanzang opened an altar to chant sutras after he obtained the Western Sutra for the Tang Dynasty.

Among them is the place where Tang Sanzang passed away.

The death of Tang Sanzang also made Li Shimin pass away for a long time, because he passed away after only teaching the scriptures for three years.

Some people say that Master Tang Sanzun has become immortal.

Although Li Shimin thought so too, he hadn't seen Tang Sanzang for so many years, which made him also think that death is death, and how can he be promoted to immortality.

Why is the abbot of Hongfu Temple here at this time?Could it be that the money allocated for the construction of Buddhist temples this year is not enough?
Li Shimin shook his head. Although he had just lost a large amount of money to Daming, a Buddhist believer like himself has always linked Buddhist temples with people's livelihood.

Over the years, even a lot of pennies.

"Let him in!" Li Shimin rubbed his temples and waved his sleeves.

Then he sat up straight, in the eyes of the host, he still had to tidy up.

"Xuanhongfu Temple presides over Yayoi's audience!"

Outside the main hall, a monk in cassock with a lively expression came in.

He nodded slightly, bowed to Li Shimin and said: "I have seen Your Majesty!"

This is also Li Shimin's commemoration of Tang Sanzang. Anyone who becomes the abbot of Hongfu Temple does not need to kneel down when he sees the emperor.

This can be regarded as giving Tang Sanzang enough face.

"Master, I don't know why you came here this time?" Li Shimin said slightly, his eyes focused on Yayoi, the abbot of Hongfu Temple below.

Yayoi, the abbot of Hongfu Temple, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, just last night in Hongfu Temple, the tops of the pine trees all faced east when there was no wind!"

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Li Shimin also stood up in surprise. After all, such a vision has never been heard in the ages.

Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, Yayoi, the abbot of Hongfu Temple, seemed to have expected it, and continued: "I remember Master Tang Sanzang once said that if there are pine trees in Hongfu Temple, when there is no wind, all the tree heads face east! That means he's back!"

Hearing these words, Li Shimin's gaze was like a torch, staring closely at Hongfu Temple's host Yayoi. "Is my imperial brother really back?"

The ministers off the field were also stunned. This Tang Sanzang has been dead for more than ten years. Can he still crawl out of the grave?

Besides, Tang Taizong Li Shimin insisted on cremation at the beginning, and in the end only one relic was left, and the others were directly burned to slag.

At this moment, Luo Tong, the commander of the forbidden army outside the door, hurriedly ran into the hall, knelt down and said, "I tell you, there are four monks outside the door, except for the leader who looks like a monk, the other three are like monsters. A monkey with a thunderous mouth, a pig-headed human body, and a slightly normal-looking one, but there are several skulls hanging around his neck!"

"It looks terrifying!"

Hearing these words, Li Shimin also took two steps back in fright, but the monk mentioned by Luo Tong, could it be that his younger brother really came back.

"I'm going to have a look!"

Li Shimin walked quickly to the entrance of the hall, and when he saw the familiar face in front of the door, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Brother Yu, I didn't expect it was really you!" Li Shimin said as he hugged Tang Sanzang.

"Your Majesty, the minister is back!"

"Hurry up, please come inside!"

Seeing Tang Sanzang come back again, Li Shimin was not to mention how happy he was, his hands trembled with excitement.

"Brother Yu, have you really become a Buddha?" Li Shimin asked tentatively, and when he saw Tang Sanzang nodding his head, he almost jumped up excitedly.

"Your Majesty, we are here to help Datang spread Buddhism!" Tang Sanzang's tone was a little sincere.

But hearing these words, Li Shimin couldn't help feeling melancholy and sighed.

Tang Sanzang supported Li Shimin, and said: "I don't know why Your Majesty sighed, did you encounter some difficulties?"

Li Shimin also told Tang Sanzang all the troubles he had encountered over the years, including the decline of talents in the Tang Dynasty.

As for the frontier issue, it was even more frank.

After hearing these words, Tang Sanzang also patted Li Shimin on the shoulder, and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty! We are here to help you! And the problem of Kyushu you mentioned, leave it to me." Three apprentices!"

Hearing what Tang Sanzang said, Li Shimin noticed the three monster-like monks behind him.

"I don't know the three of them..."

Tang Sanzang stepped forward and introduced them one by one.

"This is my great apprentice, Sun Wukong, who made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, and no one was his opponent, and now he is conferred the title of Fighting and Conquering Buddha by my Buddha!"

"And this is the Marshal of the Canopy of the Celestial Realm back then. He was in charge of the [-] sailors in the Celestial Realm by himself. Now he is also my second apprentice, Zhu Bajie, and now he is named the Messenger of the Purification Altar by my Buddha."

"This one should not be underestimated either. He is the general of the heavenly rolling curtain, Sha Wujing, who is now enshrined by my Buddha as an arhat with the golden body of Nanwu Eight Treasures!"

Hearing Tang Sanzang's introductions one by one, Li Shimin was not to mention how excited he was now, feeling that even if Daming attacked now, he would not be fearless.

"Wukong, Bajie! I'll leave the affairs of Da Ming to you!" Tang Sanzang looked at Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie behind him, and continued, "Be gentle, we are here to promote Buddhism!"

"Yes, master!" Sun Wukong stepped forward and said, without a hint of rebellion on his face, as if he was a tamed monkey.

"I'm not going!" Zhu Bajie glanced at Monkey King and waved.

"Hey, you idiot, didn't you like being with your big brother before?" Tang Sanzang frowned and looked at the fearless Zhu Bajie.

Zhu Bajie waved his sleeves and said impatiently: "All right, all right, I'll just go!"

In fact, Zhu Bajie didn't know why, he obviously liked to be with this stinky monkey the most, but after experiencing the "true and false Monkey King", he found that this monkey had changed.

Everything has changed, even the unique smell on his body has changed.

Li Shimin also looked at the three extraordinary people in front of him, and said, "Tonight, my Tang Dynasty will host a state banquet for the four of you!"

As soon as he heard about the food, Zhu Bajie immediately put the matter behind him, he is the messenger of the altar, and today he has to teach Li Shimin the reason for his nickname.
