Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Not to mention the structure of the entire Three Realms, but for Changbai Mountain, which is located in the Tang Dynasty, it naturally has to take the direction of the Tang Dynasty as the benchmark and establish its own position and development direction.

In today's Tang Dynasty, it seems that the three religions of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism coexist, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the reason why these three religions can take root in the Tang Dynasty and become increasingly prosperous is actually because the fundamental goals of the three religions in the Tang Dynasty are It is people-oriented.

People are from the Tang Dynasty.

If the Three Religions are like the East and West continents, and attempt to put religious rights above human rights, perhaps the people will be deceived to a certain extent. As far as the emperors are concerned, they cannot accept it.

And the more powerful the king, the more they want to break this situation, and the more they hope to be "divine authority granted by the king". Therefore, this is how the emperor on earth "consecrates the incense to the gods".

This is also because they are only emperors, and their ability to mobilize and utilize human destiny is far inferior to that of human kings in ancient times.

But some sensitive old goblins, especially those who have experienced the era of human kings, know very well what kind of feat Emperor Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty is performing. If he is really allowed to become the human king, it will be a big blow to the entire Three Realms. It will be a huge change.

The smart race has begun to move closer to the Tang Dynasty, while the stupid ones are still waiting and watching. The stupid ones even want to become enemies of the Tang Dynasty and think of ways to kill him.

The five great Immortal Families in Changbai Mountain were already a little late in getting on the train, and they had not surrendered voluntarily. Their status and situation in the Tang Dynasty were naturally somewhat embarrassing.

If they hadn't lived far away from the customs, they might have become a gift for others to please the Tang Dynasty.

It's not like this has never happened.

It's just that when many mountain spirits in small places surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, they were not qualified to come to Chang'an City to meet Emperor Zhenguan. They could only choose to submit a surrender letter to the local prefecture and county government, and these imperial officials would submit the surrender letter. It was sent to the court, and the court stamped it with a big seal. It was considered that a set of procedures had been completed.

Apart from the Yingzhao clan who initially followed Li Shimin and migrated from Beiju Luzhou, there were only a few races such as Qingqiu and Zuowu that could really be received by Li Shimin in person.

Since the beginning of King Yu, the Qingqiu Sky Fox clan has been intermarrying with the human race in the past dynasties. Naturally, there is no need to mention this.

In fact, the Zuowu clan originally lived in seclusion in Nanzhou. When the former prince Li Chengqian was traveling in the Tang Dynasty, he strayed into their clan's territory. Because Zuowu was a famous benevolent beast in the Three Realms, the kings at that time cleaned up Nanzhou. When the major demon clans in the territory were invaded, not only did they not be expelled, but a special habitat was set aside in Nanzhou for them to recuperate.

It is recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas that in the Lin family's country, there is a rare beast, as big as a tiger, with five colors and a tail longer than the body. It is named Zuowu, and it can travel thousands of miles in a day.

He is also called Zou and Yu, a benevolent beast that will not eat unless it is willing to die.

I met Li Chengqian in the previous episode and was invited by Li Chengqian. I decided to join the Tang Dynasty and become one of the auspicious beasts that protect the country. Because they can travel thousands of miles a day, the flag of the Tang Dynasty Station is their image.

Moreover, some tribesmen were assigned to various parts of Xizhou to assist Yi Cheng, deliver news, and guard one side.

Perhaps within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the Yi Zhan Yi Cheng was indeed just a small official with a big sesame, but outside the country of the Tang Dynasty, the Yi Station of the Tang Dynasty was the country of the Tang Dynasty, and the Yi Cheng had the responsibility of guarding the land, and he also had to Demonstrate the power of a great nation in a foreign land.

Not everyone can do that. Their acting style can be more diplomatic and sophisticated, but they must not lack integrity, because they represent not only themselves outside, but the dignity of the Tang Dynasty.

Not to mention the postmen, in fact, even the postmen responsible for delivering letters are definitely not good people. Apart from other things, they must at least have the ability to cross the river, otherwise how will they carry the letters across the eight hundred miles in Xizhou? A wide river?

Fortunately, these rivers are all old roads traveled by Master Sanzang. After hearing that the Tang Dynasty was building post stations on both sides of the bank, the local Shui tribe naturally opened waterways spontaneously to ensure smooth passage of the post stations on both sides.

The little dragon on the Blackwater River even used magical powers to build an ice bridge on the Blackwater River, which directly benefited the people on both sides of the river.

Those who take the initiative to get closer to the Tang Dynasty will naturally not have much benefit. The matter of luck and cause and effect is still very fair to a certain extent. If they help the human race, they will naturally benefit from some of the luck of humanity.

And those like the Five Great Immortal Families are naturally worse.

However, although they will not be actively favored by human destiny, if they can sincerely rely on the human race and become vassals of the Tang Dynasty, then based on the amount of their contribution or the accumulation of their own merits, they will naturally receive corresponding human benefits. Luck.

Just like Bajie.

His human destiny was transformed from the power of merit from the strong demons and demons he exterminated on his way westward and the final success in learning Buddhist scriptures. At the same time, there was also some merit from spreading "delicious food" in the world over the years.

After all, food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most basic elements of survival for human beings. Bajie has worked hard on "food", so why can't it be regarded as a merit?

Moreover, the food Bajie cooks is not delicacies from the mountains and seas that the common people cannot afford, but mostly home-cooked side dishes. Many of the dishes are even based on wild vegetables from the mountains.

Some dignitaries even went to the private sector to buy wild vegetables on a large scale because of this, which also gave the mountain people who depended on the mountains a considerable amount of income.

In fact, at the beginning, some unscrupulous tycoons wanted to monopolize the mountain. In the end, Bajie's memorial was sent directly to the emperor's desk, which aroused the emperor's anger and severely punished a group of lawbreakers, and then they were able to control it. .

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. As long as there is enough profit, people who put themselves in danger are absolutely indispensable.

Instead of watching the mountains and forests being occupied by others, Li Shimin directly ordered that the entire mountain range of the Tang Dynasty be owned by the imperial court, and then gave the rights to exploit and hunt the forests to the local mountain people.

People from outside the mountains can only come here to purchase.

As for the excessive hoarding of goods, or because the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the goods cannot be sold, it is natural to prescribe the right medicine. If the production should be reduced, the channels should be expanded, the channels should be widened, and the roads should be built.

Moreover, the imperial court would send people to collect the goods every year.

Relatively speaking, since the rights and interests of the mountain people have been protected by the court, they naturally have to pay taxes.

But this wind has not yet reached Changbai Mountain. It’s not that no one had the idea to go to Changbai Mountain before, but it is like a famous mountain and river. In fact, it is difficult to take it back to the imperial court just because of Li Shimin’s words.

There are still some problems in Changbai Mountain. After all, there are mostly mountain spirits and wild monsters here. Apart from the local mountain gods, there are not many practitioners who use Changbai Mountain as their dojo. But even so, those evil cultivators must be treated with caution.

The reason why evil cultivators are evil cultivators is because they are not like righteous monks and do things according to the rules. They may be most afraid of the strength of the Tang Dynasty, but most of the time, they still focus on their own interests.

Moreover, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Most of the evil cultivators live alone. Unlike the orthodox monks who establish a sect and have a big family and a big business, they naturally do things their own way.

But places like Zhongnan Mountain, Emei Mountain, and Wutai Mountain are basically home to famous families. Generally speaking, as long as it does not really affect their own inheritance, they have always been supportive of the court's decisions. .

It's just that the previous government was all about coaxing and providing for them.

Now that Emperor Zhenguan has come to power, it seems that he can no longer put pressure on the human race. Even if some of Li Shimin's policies will affect their interests, as long as they are not too excessive, they can still tolerate it.

As for those who really can't stand this grievance, that's very simple. Just move the clan and leave the Tang Dynasty. Dongzhou and Xizhou are places where the sect is above the dynasty. Let's go and see if it can be tolerated. That's it for you.

It's not like he didn't leave, but it's not that easy to come back after leaving. If you want to turn back, that won't work in Datang. Of course, it cannot be said that there is no possibility of coming back, but it would be a hundred times more difficult than joining the Tang Dynasty as a foreigner.

Similarly, the Tang Dynasty's approach to dealing with righteous sects and evil monks was naturally very different.

When dealing with evil cultivators, Yuan Tiangang is basically the one who takes action, and evil people will be punished by evil people. When talking with the righteous sects, they usually send Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui up the mountain together.

But the results are pretty much the same. As long as the other party knows each other, everything will be easy for everyone to talk to. Even if you want to put forward some conditions, it's not impossible. But on the other hand, whether it is the bad people of the Tang Dynasty that the evil cultivators will face, or Xue Rengui who just drinks tea in the righteous sect without saying a word, it is enough for them to make the right choice.

It seems that Zhongnan Mountain's position was very correct. In a blink of an eye, it became the headquarters of the Tang Taoist Alliance, commanding all the Taoist sects of the Tang Dynasty?

Moreover, on the surface, the leader of the Taoist Alliance is still the Golden Immortal Yun Zhongzi of the Merit of Chanjiao. How deep is the Taoism of this immortal leader? Not to mention ordinary monks, even the famous true cultivators in the three realms may not be able to find out how deep he is. The details come.

Moreover, Wen Zhong, the third-generation direct disciple of Jie Jiao, and Wen Taishi, lost his life in his hands. As the Taishi of the three dynasties, Wen Zhong had a profound humanistic destiny. Longling set up a pillar of divine fire to reach the sky, and it was to borrow his merit to suppress Wen Taishi's human destiny.

Human destiny is so powerful that even saints have to stay away and take detours.

Even when King Zhou was defeated, he burned himself in the Star-Zhaing Tower and did not die directly at the hands of Zhou Wu.

Otherwise, even if King Wu Jifa inherited his brother Boyikao's destiny and became the first true emperor in the world, he would probably suffer a heavy blow due to the fate of the human king.

Perhaps when Boyi was admitted to Chaoge, he just wanted to see the difference between his Ziwei star energy and the human king's imperial energy. But after all, it was at the home court of Renwang, Ziwei star energy was completely suppressed, and Chaoge died in the end. .

But it is not completely ineffective. After all, he is the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei and has evolved according to the way of heaven. It is time for the human king to retire and the emperor to rule the world. King Zhou wants to kill Boyikao, so he naturally has to mobilize and consume a lot of himself. The luck of humanity.

But even so, after Zhou Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the country's destiny, which was originally planned for eight hundred years, was consumed by seven hundred and seventy-eight years after King You of Zhou besieged the princes. In the next four hundred years, the Great Zhou Dynasty had lost its emperor's national prestige. The princes of the world competed for hegemony, competed in the Central Plains, and aspired to the Central Plains, and finally fulfilled Qin Shihuang, the emperor of the ages.

This period is actually a manifestation of the fact that human luck has not yet stabilized and is constantly shifting.

Judging from the current situation of the "Five Great Immortal Families" in Changbai Mountain, they naturally do not dare to have too many extravagant hopes for human destiny. They can only protect the destiny of their own family first, and they are already very content.

But it is obvious that although they have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, judging from Yuan Tiangang's acting style, they must have other worries in their hearts.

No, when Bajie appeared, it became a life-saving straw for them to come up.

In fact, these five families have never actively harmed anyone since they occupied Changbai Mountain. This is the "ancestral teaching", and they will naturally not violate it easily.

But it is inevitable that some "unscrupulous disciples" will appear and become the "black sheep". At this point, except for the Liu family, the positions of the clan leaders of each clan are still very firm. They will basically abolish the other party's cultivation and then expel them from the clan. Let it fend for itself.

It was precisely because of this that they dared to test the ship Bajie. After all, Daci'en Temple has always had a clear stance on monsters. If monsters that harm and eat people want to survive, then don't get close to their masters and disciples. .

And now, the reason why even the Liu family dared to come over was thanks to Yuan Tiangang's cruel treatment before. Those who died were the unruly and left behind group, and naturally they were all relatively honest goblins.

In the past, let alone harming and cannibalizing people, they have been hiding in the mountains of Changbai Mountain to practice since they were born, and they would never be seen at ordinary times.

Even the part that Yuan Tiangang took away was the general among the short men. Compared with the unruly people before, he was naturally a little less temperamental, but it was also easier to control.

For the bad guys under Yuan Tiangang, there are no particularly strict requirements on temperament. Those who are obedient have their work to do, and those who are quick-thinking and restless also have their uses. The key lies in whether Yuan Tiangang can send them to in their appropriate positions.

Yuan Tiangang is also very knowledgeable about this. After all, he has always been with Li Shimin, and he has also learned a set of real skills in the way of employing people.

The people of the "Five Great Immortal Families" in Changbai Mountain who were taken away by him are now shining in positions suitable for them.

But it was precisely because of his compatibility with them that the people of the "Five Great Immortal Families" could not rest assured, fearing that they would become the nourishment of the Tang Dynasty and be completely controlled by Yuan Tiangang, with no chance of escape.
