My weird life

"If the Queen of Heaven really has completely lost her life, there should not be any signs on the wordless stele in the Qianling Mausoleum..." Emperor Tang Ming came to his senses. He had been somewhat relaxed after seeing the bones of the old woman in the tomb. At this time, he brought it up again. He frowned, turned around and said to Su Wu, "Did Zhang Qing find anything else inside and outside the mausoleum?"

He calmed down and looked a little nervous.

Hearing this, Su Wu nodded and replied: "When I walked into this place before, I broke into the 'Yunding Golden Palace' built by the monks who were buried with them on the four walls of the mausoleum here with their great vows. The Yunding Golden Palace, The woman with the appearance of a loving woman among them is called the "Maitreya Inner Courtyard".

The woman has planted the 'Longhua Tree Seed' in the Qi of the Tang Dynasty.

When the Tang Dynasty was in decline, this tree would inevitably grow vigorously.

The Cihe woman said that the day when the Longhua tree grows up is the day when Maitreya will be reborn, and it is the time of the 'Longhua Third Realm'! "

"The Longhua tree species has been planted into the fate of the country?" Emperor Xuanzong was horrified when he heard this. He lowered his eyes, and the light in his eyes flickered for a moment, and then suddenly fell silent.

He did not give any instructions regarding what Su Wu said.

After being silent for a long time, Xuanzong spoke up: "Tianguo really has other plans, the centipede insect is dead but not stiff... I don't know how involved she is in the 'story of chopping mountains to save mother'?

Zhang Qing, when are you going to set off to Mount Huashan to find out? "

"I originally planned to report the findings under the Wild Goose Pagoda to the Saint, and then set off for Huashan." Su Wu responded wisely, "Now that the report has been completed, it's time to say goodbye to the Saint."

"Well..." Tang Minghuang nodded. He pushed away a few soldiers blocking his side and approached the stone wall with many monks' corpses and Buddha bone relics built into it. His eyes first fell on those sitting cross-legged. , the mummy of a monk with his hands clasped together, with some anger in his eyes, "I hate these monks, they don't engage in production, they enclose the fields as temple property, and occupy the people as serfs in Buddhist temples - I have given them such a great grace, but they don't know how to repay the kindness, they only want to Know the Buddha who worships them and serve their Buddha!

Now, even his own life has been sacrificed, just to fulfill the Queen of Heaven’s so-called ‘Maitreya’s next rebirth’! "

After the reconstruction of Ci'en Temple was completed, hundreds of monks were hired to take charge of various affairs in the temple, worship Buddha and Bodhisattvas, and conduct morning and evening classes.

However, at that time, many monks and craftsmen who repaired temples died suddenly or in accidents within a few months, and were missing. Emperor Xuanzong did not obtain the great treasure at that time, and many things happened. Pay special attention to the fact that now it seems that the monks who died suddenly are actually the many monks who were built into the walls of the tomb.

They were willing to die for Maitreya's next rebirth, and used their years of practice to build the 'Yunding Golden Palace' to support the 'Ci Shi Yue Ancient Golden Wheel Holy God Emperor'!

Su Wu listened to Emperor Xuanzong's dull voice and was speechless for a moment.

Although the physical shells of the monks here are dead, they have gathered some strands of Dharma nature with the power of their great vows and stayed in the Yunding Golden Palace, coming and going with the Queen of Heaven.

Compared to the 'Maitreya's lower rebirth' they were pursuing, getting rid of this stinky body didn't seem to be a big deal.

Emperor Xuanzong picked up a stone that fell on the ground and looked at the faint luster of gold and iron between the layers of the stone. He turned around and handed the stone to Su Wu to see: "The stone used to build this mausoleum must be used from this day onwards." Rudong was excavated from all over the world and used local materials.

Zhang Qing, look at this piece of stone, does it contain gold and iron?

Is there a copper-iron vein beneath the Wild Goose Pagoda? "

Su Wu had not noticed this detail before. He took the stone and blazing fire burst out from his palm. He instantly burned away the impurities in the stone and extracted a few drops of red iron juice - looking at the palm of his hand. A wisp of strange iron juice with great vow power floated faintly. Su Wu then smashed several stone walls, took out the stones, and refined the iron juice of the same quality. After verifying this for a long time, he said to Emperor Xuanzong with certainty: "Dragon Vein Among them, there are many secrets.

The secret treasure in the current dragon vein should be such iron ore.

I don’t know if this kind of ore has been immersed in the power of great vows for a long time and has developed some kind of supernatural power on its own, or it is inherently special, so it was ordered by the Queen of Heaven to be the carrier of the ‘Maitreya Inner Courtyard’ vow palace.

Nowadays, the inner courtyard of Maitreya has disappeared again with the Longhua tree and is missing.

But the veins here remained.

I had previously planned to order Han workers to build the armor pieces and send them to the temples, and have the monks bless the armor pieces with incense and vows day and night to make them magical. Now that there is a mineral vein here, the ore can be mined directly from this place. This is quite useful. The magical gold and iron are cast into pieces of armor and sent to various temples for blessing. The power of the armor created will definitely be even better! "

"Okay!" Emperor Xuanzong nodded, "I ordered the Ministry of Industry to summon more than a hundred letter workers and charge them as bad guys! As long as it is beneficial to suppressing the world's evil spirits, no matter what you ask for, I will fully satisfy you."

"Your Majesty might as well summon those who are talented in poetry and painting from all over the world and train them to be 'letter workers'. In this way, the forging of the 'Sheng Ren Jia' can be completed faster and come out as soon as possible." Su Wu said directly.

When Emperor Xuanzong heard this, his expression froze, and he felt embarrassed by Su Wu's request.

The so-called "Hangong", also known as "Hanren", is a craftsman who forges armor.

Nowadays, all craftsmen's professions are despicable. Those who are talented in poetry, painting, and painting are all aspiring to fame. Fulfilling their ambitions and serving the king are their greatest pursuits. If they are asked to do such lowly jobs as sending letters to people, they are just afraid. Duohui resigned angrily on the spot, thinking that the saint had humiliated them.

Su Wu has been through a lot now, and he is not a person who is ignorant of the world.

He knew that this request would embarrass Xuanzong, but he changed the subject and said: "You can grant him the position of 'Hanlin Dai Zhao', and temporarily transfer him to the Bad People in the name of 'responding to the article'.

I will coordinate everything from now on."

Emperor Xuanzong had already set up the position of 'Hanlin Dai Zhao' in the first year of Kaiyuan. After hearing Su Wu's proposal, he pondered for a long time and nodded: "Now I also have several masters who are good at painting and calligraphy around me. One of them is named 'Wu Daozi'.

After I go back, I will come up with a reason to send him to the Bad People.

Don't look down on him."

Wu Daozi? !

Su Wu was shocked when he heard this name!

The origin of Sheng Ren Jia must have been jointly studied by a bad general in the Tang Dynasty and a painter friend. The "ink map" that needs to be engraved on Sheng Ren Jia later developed to its peak and even spread to Dongliu Island in the east. It has a close relationship with "Wu Daozi"!

Su Wu still remembers that the most magical ink map in Dongliu Island is the "Hell Transformation Map" painted by Wu Daozi.

Wu Daozi painted many ink maps of gods and demons, which were widely circulated in the Tang Dynasty. However, for some unknown reason, they were lost in later generations, leaving only various god and demon scrolls, without the unique charm of the ink map.

If this "painting saint" can be invited now, the appearance of "Sheng Ren Jia" will be greatly accelerated!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Wu immediately bowed to Emperor Xuanzong and finalized this matter first.

Xuanzong saw Su Wu's happy face and smiled.

The name of Wu Daoxuan has been circulated today.

He thought that Su Wu had known this person's reputation for a long time, and now he could finally meet this person, so he was "happy to see the prey". Li Longji did not say much about this matter. To him, although Wu Daozi was good at painting, he was just a painter after all. There were countless painters in the world, and he did not care that he was missing this one.

Xuanzong and Su Wu walked out of the mausoleum, and the soldiers gathered around them.

When walking out of the vast and cold mausoleum, Xuanzong squinted and looked around. There were some colorful stalactites under the light of the fire, and said: "The Maoshan master Ye Fashan left Chang'an and went to Maoshan after you and Luo Gongyuan fought.

Now he has returned to Chang'an.

He went to the Maoshan sect altar. I think he was deeply involved in your heavy defeat of Luo Gongyuan and abolished his cultivation. This time he returned to Chang'an, he should have invited some helpers.

For example, now Mao The Grand Master of Shan Sect, ‘Han Guangzi’.

When you leave Chang’an, Li Han Guang may be waiting outside the city.

The person who comes is not kind, you must be careful to deal with him.

——The victory or defeat at the moment does not count, even if you lose to him, it doesn’t matter, I have already determined that you will be the ‘leader of Xuanmen’, don’t ruin your life because of this momentary success or failure.

The most important thing is to keep the green mountains. ”

After Xuanzong finished speaking, he patted Su Wu’s shoulder and hurried away with a group of armored soldiers. Even if he had seen Su Wu’s methods with his own eyes, he didn’t think that Su Wu would have any chance of winning against ‘Han Guangzi’, and even advised Su Wu to ‘save his life’ and not act on impulse.

Let him ‘keep the green mountains’.

It can be seen that in the eyes of Emperor Xuanzong and even the people of the world, how high the practice of this ‘Han Guangzi’ has reached.

Even Li Longji had such advice, so Su Wu understood even more clearly that if Li Hanguang really wanted to fight him, he would never be able to "win" this battle.

If Su Wu could defeat Li Hanguang, Li Longji, who still trusted him, would probably change his attitude towards Su Wu immediately, set up many defenses, and undermine the authority that Su Wu had just obtained. In the eyes of Emperor Xuanzong and even the people of the world, the two who could hold the reins among all the Dharma lineages in the world were Master Huizhao of the Ci'en Sect and Hanguangzi of Maoshan.

Because Master Huizhao was secretly involved in the "rebirth of Maitreya" and had extremely high cultivation, Emperor Xuanzong targeted him everywhere and imposed many restrictions on him, forcing him to stay away from Chang'an and not set foot in the political center of the country. His whereabouts were closely monitored and he could not pose a threat to Emperor Xuanzong.

As for Li Hanguang, due to the various operations of Emperor Xuanzong, the Taoist sect has a close relationship with the Li Tang royal family. He is connected to the Taoist sect in the world, and his master Chang Jingzhen is even named the "first Taoist in the world". He once personally gave Li Longji the magic scroll. Under such various connections, although Hanguangzi has a very high level of cultivation, he is not only unable to pose a threat to the Li Tang royal family, but also has to contribute to the cause of the Li Tang royal family.

Although Li Hanguang hides in the mountains and wilds, he is actually a "national protector".

Su Wu emerged at this time. Although he had a record of a tie with the projection of Shenxiu, he was promoted to the fifth place on the Xuanmen list by Li Longji. In fact, this "fifth place on the Xuanmen list" is a little bit watered in the eyes of the world - it is precisely because of this "you know and I know" water that Li Longji can rest assured about Su Wu.

Above Su Wu, there is still a "national protector" like Li Hanguang.

But if Su Wu fought with Li Hanguang and defeated him, breaking through Li Longji's guess about his strength limit, the saint would definitely take a good look - was he too lenient with this 'bad commander'? Was he too powerful?

Even if Xuanzong had only a little suspicion, all the matters that Su Wu had just coordinated would be stopped, or even abandoned!

If Li Hanguang really invited him to compete in the future, how would he 'lose' to Li Hanguang?

Su Wu had a plan in mind.

He followed Emperor Xuanzong and left the stalactite cave.

Not long after the saint left the Wild Goose Pagoda, the Ministry of Works sent many craftsmen to turn over the soil and rocks around the Wild Goose Pagoda, dig the ground, and dig out the magical treasure mines in the dragon vein under the Wild Goose Pagoda.

The more than one hundred letter men that Xuanzong had promised to allocate to Su Wu also arrived soon after.

The time when these letter men and craftsmen reported to the Bad People's Residence was even earlier than the one hundred and fifty "wishful monks" promised by Fazhi.

At that time, Xuanzong believed in Su Wu, so he allocated various resources to him.

If he had any suspicion in his heart, these resources would also disappear in an instant and no longer exist.

…

In the quiet and elegant tea room covered by bamboo curtains.

Ye Fashan and a handsome young man sat across the tea table.

The young man was carrying a Tang Dynasty sword with a wooden handle, and was concentrating on watching Ye Fashan knock off a small piece of tea from the tea cake handed to him by the Taoist boy, grind it into powder with nutmeg, pepper, onion, ginger, salt, etc., and then mix it with boiling spring water, sift out the powder, add lard, and mix it into a rich tea soup.

Ye Fashan pushed a cup of tea to the young man and asked him to taste it first. He asked the young man with some expectation: "How does it taste?"

"The lard is too thick." The young man wiped his mouth with his sleeve, commented, and pushed the tea bowl over, "It just so happens that I didn't have a full meal when I came here, drink another cup, you can fill your stomach with tea."

Hearing this, Ye Fashan's mouth twitched, but he followed suit and pushed his cup of tea to the young man. While the young man sipped the tea, he crushed the tea leaves and spices and said, "Brother, many things happened in Chang'an during the few days I left."

"Chang'an is big, and new things always emerge every day." The young man shook his head and answered.

"The 'Zhang Wu' that I mentioned to my senior brother before has now been worshipped as 'Bad Leader' by the Saint. The Saint has set up an altar for worshipping the general in the Eastern Capital, and the name of Bad Leader has since been known to the world.

The first thing that Bad Leader did after taking office was to go to the Iron Buddha Temple and give the 'initiation' ceremony to the many monks gathered in the temple.

The Saint was also present at the ceremony.

The Saint also received the initiation from Bad Leader."
