one person is right

Chapter 595 No matter inside or outside, tell Chang'an two hundred miles
The ancient Buddha with blue lanterns, smoke curling up.

The old monk in robes raised his eyelids and sighed as he listened to the little novice in front of him report back.

"Although there are a few experts in the small sect gathering, they are not rich enough after all. Among the large sects, only Zhongnanshan and Lou Guandao are willing to come, and they themselves want to use our monks; They each have their own plans, and they don't want to let Buddhism focus on the front. As for Taihua Mountain, since there is a land god like Master Fuyao sitting in the town, Nan Mingzi doesn't want to get involved in the fight, so it's normal to see him behind closed doors."

Seeing this, the little novice said in a low voice: "Since the ancestor had expected it, why did he send out the invitation card?"

The old monk glanced at him, and said with a helpless smile: "Because the enemy is in front of him, there is no way to retreat, even the straw must be grasped. It is a surprise to have two major sects responding now. Let's do it." Get ready, there aren't many people coming, and naturally the prepared meals will never be exhausted, besides that, take out those few magical artifacts as well."

The little novice listened, but was somewhat reluctant.

The old monk said with a smile: "Go, those magic tools are prepared for this purpose. We invite all families to come over, and we don't want to compete with them. The real purpose is actually that person. The only way to get that person When people are restrained, there should be peace in the world, otherwise the world will be in chaos, and it is only in his mind, who can live in peace?"

"Compared with 40 years ago, Chang'an City seems to have not changed much."

Walking on Suzaku Avenue, Chen Cuo looked left and right, strolled in the courtyard, and compared it with the Chang'an City in his memory, and he couldn't tell that he was eager for a quick battle.

In fact, he is planning the next course of action.

"There are many ways to find Yu Ji's descendants, but if you want to improve efficiency and avoid being lost, you must first grasp his whereabouts. I remember in my previous life that Yu Ji's nephew, Yu Shinan, was a famous figure in the early Tang Dynasty. Maybe he was still above the Lingyan Pavilion, so he must have defected to Li Tang in the end. Just looking at Li Tang's momentum to dominate the world, the day when Yu Shinan returned to Tang should not be far away. can get news."

But thinking of this, his heart sank.

"However, is the memory of the previous life really reliable? After all, even my name..."

At the bottom of his heart, the Taoist in his heart suddenly became blurred, and then the spiritual light that filled his heart flickered, and the light and dark were uncertain!
Immediately, Chen Cuo came back to his senses, and with a turn of the Hui sword, he cut off and shattered the distracting thoughts in his mind!
"In the end, it was still affected. It involved Dao Xin and formed a heart knot. If this knot cannot be resolved, the road of cultivation in the future may not be easy, and even if the situation continues, it will shake Dao Heart."

Thinking of this, Chen Cuo shook his head and chuckled.

"However, no matter whether the name is true or false, whether the memory is false or real, what I have done in this life is not false, and the path of seeking the way is not false. Now I just want to verify this matter. No matter what happened in the past, it will not change the path of seeking the way. Zhi."

With a thought, a huge and peaceful spiritual consciousness gushed out from his body, turned into gusts of wind, and swept away in all directions!

In a blink of an eye, the distribution of many forces and personnel movements in the entire Chang'an city appeared in Chen Cuo's mind.

"Oh? A lot of monks gathered, including many acquaintances from the past. However, compared with 40 years ago, there are still some changes. However, they suddenly gathered here, which is similar to the situation when Emperor Wu of Zhou invited Buddhism and Taoism all the time. Kind of similar."

Shaking his head, Chen Cuo had no intention of getting involved and wasting time. The main purpose of his spiritual sweep was to search for his senior brother.

At this moment, the target has been found, so naturally there will be no further delay. When the thought changes, the person has disappeared in place.

As soon as he left, many spiritual senses spread over cautiously. After a little exploration, each breathed a sigh of relief, and then dispersed——

When Chen Cuo swept away with his spiritual consciousness, he didn't deliberately hide his tracks. Such movements would naturally be caught by many caring people.

"It's really domineering! Unscrupulous!"

In a single courtyard in the north of the city, Du Lianzi, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, gathered his spiritual consciousness and couldn't help feeling emotional.

On the opposite side, the junior sister Qian Xi, who was also wearing a Taoist robe and had long black hair, said indignantly, "Chen's is relying on his cultivation, and he doesn't pay attention to others at all! Our Kunlun Mountains haven't declined yet." After finishing the sentence, she changed the subject again, "But it's not necessarily a bad thing. The so-called arrogant soldiers are bound to lose. He is so arrogant and thinks he has no scruples. On the contrary, he tends to underestimate the enemy. Maybe he will capsize in the gutter."

"Don't be so lucky." Du Lianzi glanced at her, and said meaningfully: "Chen's ability to survive the situation decades ago, and he has achieved success in cultivation, shows his ability. Dozens of years of not walking in the mundane world, which shows the strength of concentration, how could he be confused by the momentary confusion? It should be noted that when people like Dian Yunzi and Qing Xiangzi were mentioned, they were ashamed to mention the Chen family, so that they went into seclusion , in order to break through, otherwise how can you and I stand out?"

Qianxi said: "But how to explain his actions just now?"

"Without him, it's just to scare us!" Du Lianzi's face darkened, "He just wants to tell the people in the city that he, the Chen family, has arrived in Chang'an, and let us put our minds aside and stop doing it again. It's a small move."

Qianxi's face changed when he heard the words, and then he said: "The matter that I discussed with the other companies earlier..."

"We didn't make a small move at all!" Du Lianzi stood up as he spoke, and said earnestly: "Junior Sister, in the face of such people, it is most forbidden to use conspiracy and tricks, it is better to follow the rules and lay things out clearly , as long as we can restrain him, even if we suffer a little, that's nothing, the agreement in this world has always been compromised."

With that said, he began to walk outside.

Seeing this, Qianxi asked, "Where is senior brother going?"

Du Lianzi said indifferently: "Didn't the Buddhist family send someone to deliver the invitation just now? Just go over and have a look, and see what that eminent monk Falin has in mind."

Qianxi was puzzled and said: "But you didn't just say that Buddhism and Taoism are fighting for one breath. If you get the invitation and go, you will undoubtedly be controlled by the Buddhist family. When the time comes, you will fight with him..."

"At this time, at that time, now it's not about who is the first, but who is going to face the Chen family in front!" Du Lianzi showed a smile, "I guess the old monk didn't expect that the Chen family would come so early. Arrive in Chang'an? After all, the information given by the various spies is still describing the changes in the North, and even guessing that the Turkic going south will also involve Chen's energy!"

Saying this, his originally heavy mood eased a lot.

This unlucky thing really needs other people to take the lead in order to have a clear idea.

Seeing the indifferent smile on his senior brother's face, Qianxi, who was following behind, couldn't help but relax, feeling that his senior brother really had a plan in mind.

at the same time.

"Patriarch, what happened all of a sudden, those sects that refused before all of a sudden sent people to report that they would attend the meeting on time?"

The little novice who came in a hurry wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke anxiously.

"Ugh……"

The old monk sighed faintly, and said with a wry smile: "Man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. Fa Ming, quickly prepare to welcome the visitors from all sects, don't neglect them."

"But..." the little novice rubbed his bald head, "Earlier, the master said that there would not be too many people coming, so the back kitchen didn't prepare too many meals. If everyone came, the meals in our temple might be expensive." Not enough."

"..."

The old monk was taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly shook his head and laughed: "Yes, there are too many people and too little to eat, so some disputes are unavoidable, let alone..." He waved his hand and reached out to grab a wheat ear from the void, "Go and grab this The species are in the backyard, and after a cup of tea, I ordered the fire worker Toutuo in the back kitchen to harvest and eat."

"Disciple obeys." The little novice took the ears of wheat curiously, turned and left.

"Junior brother came so fast, I'm afraid no one in this city will be safe today."

Nan Mingzi sat on the long corridor in Li's old house, looked at Chen Cuo who suddenly appeared in front of him, was slightly surprised, then smiled and said: "You may not know that the famous monk Falin in Chang'an has been given to everyone. The family sent invitations to invite them to participate in the Dharma meeting, probably because Xiang Zhuang danced the sword with the intention of Peigong."

"I noticed it when I came here." Chen Cuo shook his head, "But what these people are plotting is nothing more than the name of a family and a faction, and they want to cling to the Li and Tang Dynasty, so it is easy to guess what their plans are. Now, even if you don't deal with it deliberately, just wait, sooner or later they will come to your door, and then just kill the chickens and monkeys."

"Listen to you, don't you care about the theory of Li Tang's national religion?" Nan Mingzi said, sighing softly, "That's right, when did we practitioners pay attention to ordinary dynasties in the past? But the situation is different now. Unify, occupy the Divine Land, the emperor ascends the throne, controls the luck, even abolishes the gods, and even interferes with the luck of the sect! Although the theory of luck is illusory, you should be very clear about the ups and downs of your current rise and fall. A trivial matter may affect the survival of a sect in a few years or more than ten years!"

"Yes, our Yunxiao Sect has a deep understanding of this." Chen Cuo nodded without shy away, "According to the original trajectory, Taihua Mountain should have declined, but because Yang Jian glanced at it back then, he was in awe, that's it A little thought gave birth to today's Shanmen Prosperity."

"However, time has changed and a new dynasty is established, and the respect of the past may become a reminder," Nan Mingzi said calmly, "Although I have the blood of the Li family, I am not close to the Li Hu family. At most, I can maintain the current situation." However, the foundation of Taihua Mountain is too shallow, and it is on the way up. If you don’t advance, you will retreat! Even if Li Tang is not capable of destroying the Taihua sect with the status of an ordinary dynasty, as long as he starts, the trend of decline will continue! "

Chen Cuo glanced at his senior brother in surprise.

Nan Mingzi understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, since my younger brother is a virtuous man, how can he be indifferent to the law of rise and fall? Over the past few decades, he has often participated in research and gained some experience. I also want to ask my junior brother, Hello, for advice."

"So that's the case. It's no wonder that senior brother put aside his business and came here. The so-called Turkic threat will never make you set foot in Chang'an. If that's the case, I will help you to make the mountain gate stable for another 50 years. "While speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Where is Junior Brother going?" Nan Mingzi asked him, "Junior Brother has just arrived and is not clear about the situation, why don't you explain it to me first, so that you can know which sects are here in this city?" Door."

"Whether it is the Buddha or the Tao, in fact, neither is the key point. Even if they talk about the Tao and say a flower, it is nothing more than a trivial detail, dancing on a stage set up by others, and being manipulated by others is still complacent. , naturally we have to put aside the cumbersome and go straight to the source." Chen Cuo stopped and shook his head.

Nan Mingzi's face changed slightly, and he said, "Where is the source of what the younger brother said?"

Chen Cuo didn't answer, but looked towards the palace.

"Since I have come, I shall announce it here."

in the palace,

"The three of us, father and son, sometimes don't sit together and talk like we do today."

Li Yuan, who had gray temples but a ruddy complexion, looked at the two sons sitting at the bottom of the steps in the palace of the imperial city, and said indifferently: "I heard that a few days ago, you two brothers fought in Taihua Mountain. Is there a matter?"

Under the steps, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin sat side by side. They both held their heads high and their waists straight, each with a heroic aura.

Hearing Li Yuan's question at this time, Li Jiancheng said: "Father, Taihua Mountain has a close relationship with our Li family, and we are in the same clan as the one who teaches Nanming Taoist. I have always admired and worshiped him. As a result, on that day The second younger brother came to the house for no reason to make a fuss, hated the princes of Taihua, and my son's years of hard work were almost ruined!"

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and didn't say much.

On the contrary, Li Yuan shook his head, and said with a disappointed face: "It's really putting the cart before the horse for seeing a sect in a mountain so close!"
