Li Chengqian appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually quite anxious inside!
He even felt a little regretful. Human power is limited. The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon took his father away! As a pure and filial person, he didn't know what to do... You can imagine how confused he was at this moment!
At this moment, Qin Qiong, who was standing outside the palace gate, heard whispers in his ears!
He looked around, but no one was talking to him!
He strode to Li Chengqian and said, "Prince, I just heard someone tell me that you should withdraw the order to destroy Buddhism and build temples so that Buddhism can flourish in the Tang Dynasty! Only in this way can you save your majesty."
Li Chengqian frowned and looked at Qin Qiong in surprise!
The down-and-out Taoist priest standing next to Li Chengqian had a look of resentment on his face!
"This must be a method used by Buddhism. If the prince changes his mind every day, he will be bowing to Buddhism again! From now on, I'm afraid that everyone in the world will be prejudiced against the prince! What's more, this is one of the coercive methods commonly used by Buddhism! If the prince chooses to swallow this anger, the consequences will be disastrous."
"What should you do? His Majesty's life is the most important. Your Highness, please put the overall situation first! Quickly withdraw the order to destroy Buddhism. Only in this way can His Majesty be saved."
At this time, many guards at the South Gate were dispersed, and many ministers rushed out of the palace!
Seeing Qin Qiong kneeling on the ground, he was shocked. Then he saw Li Chengqian holding a sword in his hand, and his face turned pale.
"Your Highness...are you trying to test me?"
"Shut up!" Li Chengqian roared majestically, "You have been eating the emperor's salary, but you have never shared his worries! This prince asks you, where is the small samsara? Who is the Chakravartin? Where is his temple?"
Many ministers were stunned and had no idea what Li Chengqian was talking about!
This Chakravartin Bodhisattva, because of his practice of the Way of Reincarnation, has long been regarded by Buddhism as the existence that will replace Reincarnation in the future, and therefore has never been exposed to the sentient beings of the Three Realms! Now, if Li Chengqian did not have the ability to kill the Buddha, Guanyin would not have used this Bodhisattva hidden in blood to force and threaten him!
More importantly, no matter what choice Li Chengqian makes, he will be branded with the mark of Buddhism after entering the small cycle of reincarnation! By then, even if Li Chengqian is perfect and excellent, as long as he does not recognize Buddhism! He will be hated by Li Shimin... The position of the crown prince will also be lost because of this!
So this trick can be said to be vicious!
Not only did it put Li Chengqian in a dilemma, but it also made Li Shimin convert to Buddhism. This royal family was truly caught in a huge whirlpool!
Qin Qiong was unmoved when he saw the prince! He felt a little cold inside, fearing that Li Chengqian would ignore Li Shimin's safety, so he told many ministers the news he knew!
When the minister heard this, he realized that because Li Chengqian had angered the Western Heaven by killing the Buddha, even Li Shimin's soul had been taken away by the Ox-Head and Horse-Face of the Small Samsara!
They all knelt on the ground and asked Li Chengqian to change his mind, withdraw the destruction of Buddhism, build new temples and halls, and provide for the Buddha! In this way, they could bring back Li Shimin's soul.
"Your Highness, Crown Prince... do you want to be like Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, who killed his father to seize the throne and became a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust person?"
"Your Highness, please withdraw the order to destroy Buddhism immediately. Otherwise, the whole world will be in chaos, and it will only take a thought from you!"
"Prince, please bow your head! You have to put the overall situation first!"
Many ministers knelt on the ground and begged him. Li Chengqian looked pale. Looking at the kneeling ministers of the human race, he felt that the courage and strength that was originally filled in his heart was disintegrating invisibly!
He felt a strong sense of powerlessness and extreme helplessness.
These people simply thought that Buddhism took away Li Shimin's soul just to withdraw the order to destroy Buddhism! Little did they know that if they withdrew it at this time, the human race would never be able to raise its head again!
And he, Li Chengqian, will also fall under the control and oppression of Buddhism. Even a royal family will end up in such a situation! Not to mention ordinary people.
"Should the human race of the Tang Dynasty be so helpless and endure the control of Buddhism? When will the human race hold its head high and hold its chest high?" The dragon-slaying sword in Li Chengqian's hand fell to the ground with a thud! He collapsed weakly and Qin Qiong turned his head away with some reluctance!
The down-and-out Taoist priest next to him also sighed: "Success is due to human desire, and failure is also due to desire! This human nature cannot be lost... Prince, give the order!"
He took a step back in disappointment, but his ambition had turned into ashes! He planned to help Li Chengqian survive this crisis, then return to the underworld, sit under the Naihe Bridge as an ordinary ghost world resident, and live out his life in a sloppy manner!
"Prince...please give your orders!"
"Your Highness, please take back your order!"
The urging voices were like sharp knives stabbing Li Chengqian's heart!
Li Chengqian raised his head slowly, thinking about how he had traveled thousands of miles to the Earthly Immortal Realm to seek a way out! Thinking about the evil monk threatening and frightening the generals of the Tang Dynasty! Using sorcery to deceive the people! As the crown prince, he now had to bow his head...
Who can understand this pain!
Suddenly, a leisurely warm breeze blew by, and the Taoist Zi Jin, wearing a long robe, fell from the sky stepping on the magic sword!
"I didn't expect that this great Buddhism would use such cruel means to deal with a mortal! It violates the most filial and kind principles of the human world... just to recruit believers and consolidate Buddhism's rule over the human race! This method is really eye-opening."
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then raised his head in surprise!
Taoist Zi Jin landed his feet on the platform, his face expressionless and without any sign of panic!
"Master Zi Jin... you finally showed up! My father was captured by the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Guards. Could it be that the Pawnshop of Heaven and Earth was involved?"
"Not really... In the underworld managed by the Heaven and Earth Pawnshop, the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters only capture mortals. If they wanted to take Li Shimin away, it must have been the Black and White Impermanence who took action!" Taoist Zi Jin explained.
"Why do you know it so clearly..." Li Chengqian was a little confused!
"Because Li Shimin is the emperor of the human race, even the underworld has to respect him! And I heard from you that it was the bull-headed and horse-faced demons appointed by the Bodhisattva of the Wheel of Reincarnation to take action! This has nothing to do with the underworld. It is a method used by Buddhism."
Taoist Zi Jin said calmly, his eyes fixed on Li Chengqian!
"Then are you willing to help my human race?" Li Chengqian asked.
Taoist Zijin smiled and said, "Prince, the human race was born in heaven and earth and walks in heaven and earth. Throughout the ages, there have always been brave and tenacious strong people! If you want to save your father, why do you need my help? With the sword in your hand and your unwillingness to be oppressed! This is already half done!"
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up. The Purple Gold Taoist's words were full of hidden meanings. Moreover, the Desolate Taoist had said the same thing to him before! ?
