"Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen."
Empress Changsun exhaled, then suppressed her inner turmoil and smiled kindly: "Little Taoist, do you know the Changsun clan in Chang'an? I want to hear what people in the market think of the Changsun family."
The young Taoist frowned, then lowered his voice and spoke.
"Empress, my master and I have been refining elixirs in the mountains for many years, and we have never been out and about in the market! But this time when I entered the palace, I saw a young man named Chang Sun Chong outside Chang'an City, who was actively recovering refugees. This is not worth mentioning, but most of the refugees he recovered were skilled in swordsmanship. I heard that he was showing kindness and righteousness and recruiting followers."
The young Taoist priest is still young. If Yuan Tiangang were here, he would never speak so directly.
Most people would just pass over what Chang Sun Chong did and just praise him for his benevolent act.
After all, Empress Changsun was from the Changsun clan, and the Changsun family was now a royal family! Their power was so great that some of the descendants of the Changsun family were simply local emperors.
Since we are among mortals, even masters of Taoism cannot escape the mundaneity!
But who can blame this young Taoist priest for being so young? He also happened to be a talented genius newly recruited by Yuan Tiangang! He was naturally sharp-eyed and clever.
Therefore, even though we only heard some folk rumors, we were able to summarize and analyze them, making the incident not far from the truth.
Sure enough, when the queen heard this, she still smiled gently, but her eyes were a little cold.
"Empress, did I say something wrong? Did I make you unhappy..." The little Taoist priest was not panicked. He raised his head and asked innocently.
"That's not the case. I just feel that some people are relying on my reputation to seek personal gain. Get up and go to the side hall to wait for your master! I'll ask the maids to bring some cakes for you to taste, so you don't have to wait in boredom."
Empress Changsun treated people with kindness and did not talk big! She did not hide anything. She called the palace maid to invite the little Taoist priest to the side hall and let him sit down! She also sent some carefully made cakes from the palace, which gave the little Taoist priest a little satisfaction in his active heart after living in the mountains for a long time.
The young Taoist priest was indeed taught by the Imperial Master, and even though it was the first time he had seen such exquisite and delicate pastries, he still appeared reserved and restrained!
But he didn't know that his casual words were enough to cause a huge wave and a storm.
Inside the imperial study, Yuan Tiangang had no idea that his little disciple had caused him huge trouble with just a few words.
He was staring at the emperor with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, in fact, when the Buddha made his move, I sensed a more powerful aura emerging! It was the person behind the scenes who tore open a space in Chang'an City and sent the scholar in! It can be seen that the Buddhist sect's intention to kill the scholar must have not been cut off."
Li Shimin frowned, "You mean, besides the Buddha who was killed by the Purple Gold Taoist and the scholar, is there anyone else that the Buddhist sect wants to take action?"
The news brought by Yuan Tiangang was not that important! It was within the expectations of the Earth King, but the opponent's strength was so strong that even Yuan Tiangang could not find any trace! It was obviously terrifyingly powerful.
"That's right, Your Majesty. I made some calculations! The space created by the penetration is as solid as a mountain. It cannot be found in the void! Such a method is definitely not something that ordinary immortals can do! Even the powerful Golden Immortals can barely do it."
Seeing his solemn expression, Li Shimin couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
To mortals, people in the Golden Immortal realm are completely invincible and irresistible.
You know, in today's Chang'an City, because of the existence of the mortal pool created by the Pawnshop of Heaven and Earth, the stability of the space has reached a terrifying level!
That powerful person did not take action directly, but broke open a space by himself. This method of creating a small world out of nothing! Even in Buddhism, few people can do it.
"I infer that the only person who could do such a thing without any hesitation is the Guanyin of the South Sea! In other words, now that Master Afan is dead, the next person who wants to exterminate the geniuses of the human race will probably be this great god."
Having said this, Li Shimin clenched his fists. Although he was burning with anger, he didn't know what to do.
This is a fatal weakness caused by not mastering powerful strength!
They either have to rely on the Pawnshop of Heaven and Earth, or they can only endure the means used by Buddhism. As men of great talent and ambition, how could they not know what the consequences would be!
At the very least, they would become slaves and servants, and the human race would become puppets in the hands of others. At the worst, their race would be wiped out, and there would be no trace of the human race in the vast three realms.
This inevitably made the emperor breathe a sigh of relief, with a helpless and bitter smile on his face.
"Master Yuan, I remember when the Buddhist sect came to the Tang Dynasty and wanted Xuanzang to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures! Your attitude was quite supportive. And today... do you regret it? Do you still trust the Buddhist sect as much as before?"
Yuan Tiangang shook his head: "Under the changes in the three realms, the Buddhist sect is not only secretly promoting the evolution of disasters! It is also a shame to the believers in the world. It even used such a powerful and fierce method for an ordinary person! This behavior is shameful. I am afraid that we believed everything wrongly and joined forces with the robbers."
Li Shimin also snorted, stood up and said: "This Buddhist sect is so shameless, just because that scholar wrote the Records of Mortals Cultivating Immortality, they want to destroy him! They have ruined the luck of our human race, but fortunately there is the Purple Gold Taoist and the saints in heaven to help!"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry so much. Now it seems that although the Buddhist sect's methods are cruel, they dare not be too direct! Now that they are in the limelight, they dare not attack the scholar again. Besides, I have seen the scholar's sword. It is a magic weapon of a saint. Saints cannot be insulted. They will also give him some face."
Emperor Li Shimin sighed, "It is indeed a good thing that the scholar survived this time. However, I am quite worried. Just because they dare not attack the scholar does not mean that the palace is safe! Especially the crown prince, the queen, and the civil and military officials! We must be prepared for all of this."
When Yuan Tianshi heard this, he remained silent and lowered his head!
I felt helpless and very angry!
At the same time, Taoist Zijin came to Jianhe, climbed up the clouds, and sat across from the tea table.
Zhang Fan drank tea leisurely, and there was no sign of any change in his mentality.
Taoist Zijin said softly, "Master, the Buddhist sect's methods are really powerful! They have already thrown out a chess piece at the Xuanxian realm, and I'm afraid they won't stop. And I am in the human imperial court. Because I cleaned up the mess for Li Chengqian today, I will definitely be attacked by all the officials. I think the emperor will be a little distant from me in order to preserve the overall situation. Now it seems that we have not won."?
