The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 1196

Time flies, time flies.

Emperor Zhenguan Li Shimin reigned for 40 years, and finally came to the end of his life at the age of 68, and also the end of his throne.

That year was the 27th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.

AD 666 AD.

Although he had 1 reluctance to give up the throne, Li Shimin still left with a smile, because he not only cultivated an excellent successor, but also had great expectations for the future in his heart.

This Great Tang Dynasty was originally built by him. After he ascended the throne, he worked hard to govern the country. While pushing the Great Tang Dynasty to the pinnacle of world governance, he also hammered the surrounding countries, allowing the entire China to enter an unprecedented prosperous age. High spirits.

More importantly, until the end of his life, he never showed any stupid behaviors. Based on this point alone, there are few emperors throughout the ages who can match him.

Based on the results of discussions between Li Shimin and Chen Zhao, as well as some Taoist priests from Maoshan and Longhushan, he knew that based on his meritorious deeds, he could already be on par with the three emperors and five emperors in ancient times. Directly become a fairy!
What is a fairy?

Those who have meritorious deeds on the road and perform good deeds in the human world, and whose meritorious deeds are satisfied, receive the book from heaven and return to the cave, are called immortals.Since he is a heavenly immortal, if he is tired of living in the cave heaven, he will serve as an immortal official: the lower level is called Shuiguan, the middle level is called Earth official, and the upper level is called Tianguan.There is great merit in the world, and great deeds in the present and the past.The official was promoted, and he served for 36 years in Dongtian, and then returned to 81 Yangtian, and then returned to the realm of nothingness and nature in the Three Pure Ones.

"Congratulations, brother, you have been certified as a Celestial Immortal!"

Chen Zhao came here specially, and the elders on the side naturally saw Li Shimin's situation clearly. Unlike the ghost emperor who relied on the luck of the dynasty, the power of the gods that Li Shimin achieved was gathered into one body, which was truly his own power. The ghost emperor is not supported by the luck of the dynasty. His destiny is firmly bound to the dynasty. When the dynasty rises, the luck and strength are strong, and when the dynasty dies, it will also perish together or even be wiped out!
Emperors are tainted with the aura of the emperor, even if they die and become ghost emperors.There is no problem with strong strength, and the fighting power is even stronger with the help of the spirit of the emperor.But once he lost the protection of the dynasty's luck, the ghost emperor became a sick tiger without minions, and the emperor's spirit on his body became the source of disasters instead!

Li Shimin's Immortal is different. This is due to his own strength and has little to do with the fate of the dynasty. Whether the dynasty can continue to exist or not, it will have little impact on him.

After all, the "Prosperity of Zhenguan" was achieved by the "Government of Zhenguan".

In fact, Li Shimin's merits were not just his achievements in governing the world. He fully supported Tang Sanzang and others to take control of the Middle-earth, causing the Middle-earth Buddhism to come to the fore and become even more powerful than the Lingshan Buddhism.

In the hands of Li Shimin, Zhongtu Buddhism has officially integrated into the melting pot of Chinese culture. In the great blood, it is equivalent to Buddhism having taken root in Zhongtu, taking the Buddhist path with the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no distinction between Lingshan Buddhism and Lingshan Buddhism. .

This great merit enabled Li Shimin to receive the Buddhist luck initiation from the Middle-Earth Buddhism and further strengthen his strength.

In addition, he is also blessed with the luck of the dynasty, and the aura of the emperor in his body is also quite strong. It did not dissipate because of his death, and he still retained a small half of his amazing power.

"Happy with joy..."

After attaining the status of an immortal, Li Shimin's originally illusory ghost immediately solidified, but in the blink of an eye it became the same as a normal person, except that the aura around him was a bit cooler but not permeable.

"Brother, it's better to find a place suitable for cultivation earlier, and practice hard to strive for further progress!"

Chen Zhao said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, brother, I have a little magic power, and there are several caves and blessed places within the border, brother can choose as he pleases."

Of course Li Shimin would not choose to depend on others.

He smiled lightly and said, "Thank you dear brother, but the Great Tang covers an area of ​​thousands of miles, and there are countless cave heavens and blessed places. It is not difficult to choose a few cave heavens and blessed places."

The next emperor is a good son he cultivated by himself. Li Zhi, the third son of Empress Changsun, is loyal and filial, but his scheming is also first-class. The first time to confirm with the imperial decree.

Before Li Shimin entrusted the dream to the next emperor, several messengers suddenly came from the sky.Several envoys reported their origins, and they were from the Fire Cloud Palace. The identity of the leading envoy is quite legendary, it is Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. As for the envoys who followed him, they were all famous people among the 28 Yuntai generals under his command!

"The reason for coming here this time is that His Majesty the Human Emperor sensed that there is another Mingjun in the world, and asked me to come and receive him. There was no Huoyun Palace before to practice and sit in town!"

Liu Xiu explained the purpose of coming, turned to look at Emperor Tang and smiled lightly: "I don't know what your majesty thinks?"

Of course Li Shimin would agree.

We are all emperors, and now we are all in Huoyun Palace, cultivating together with the three emperors of heaven, earth and man. We are truly like-minded people!

Naturally, Li Shimin didn't say anything else, and directly agreed to go to the Fire Cloud Palace to cultivate...

Looking at Li Shimin who Xin Xin left, Chen Zhao felt a little lost.

After all, in this world, Li Shimin is the only one who can barely stand shoulder to shoulder with him in governing the country.

Although Li Shimin's successor, Li Zhi, is the son of Empress Changsun, he is also capable. In history, he was also able to kill his uncle Changsun Wuji and important minister Chu Suiliang.

However, he had never been killed on the battlefield, and he was obviously not fierce enough, and his wrist ability could not keep up with Naifu, so Wu Zetian used softness to overcome rigidity, and took away the Li family for nearly 20 years.

But Chen Zhao didn't want to care about the situation in Datang.

He has been preparing for decades, preparing to conquer that fateful place in one fell swoop in the last few years of the throne.

Wu Sizang!
This land should also be the land of Huaxia, where the people read the Four Books and Five Classics, with their hair tied around their right lapels.

Usually because of the plateau, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

But now, with the help of the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Zhao finally developed a cotton field.

He had an army wearing cotton clothes and holding muskets,
In Uzbekistan, because of the long-term rule of Tantric Buddhism, millions of serfs lived in dire straits, but even so, they still circulated that "... a sun with a red crown appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and a tall sun stood in the sun. The tallest Bodhisattva, he can see everything, he saw the highest place in the world, someone is suffering the deepest and deepest suffering, with one move of the Bodhisattva's hand, the Bodhisattva soldiers crossed thousands of mountains and rivers to rescue people's great pain. Great suffering..."

So Chen Zhao waved his hand, and tens of thousands of musketeers in cotton padded clothes boarded the Uzbek Kingdom. They fought three times in a row and wiped out the main force of Uzbekistan. do.

Chen Zhao dispatched [-] loyal officials re-trained to U-Tsang. In just three years, U-Tsang changed a lot...

And the time has also entered the 30th year of Ming Hongwu.

Daming has been completely sinicized.

True to his word, he decided to abdicate the throne and give up his throne to the prince Chen Zhang.

Chen Zhang was personally trained by him for 25 years, and after many experiences, he has become a qualified emperor.

After he took over, the country transitioned smoothly, and the Ming Dynasty continued to be at its peak, even surpassing the Tang Dynasty, and had a tendency to become the center of China...

But Chen Zhao didn't care about this anymore.

He came to Taiqingtian 33 days away, where he met the real Taiqing.

"Nowadays, the wind in the Han Dynasty is thousands of miles away, and there are people who worship the Taoist ancestors in all the heavens, and the Buddhism is weak, and it may not be able to escape the Buddha's catastrophe. In this way, the disciple has fulfilled the Taiyi Ji's promise according to Taiqing's intention, but still stays in the quasi-sage The realm, what can I do?"

Taiqing said: "How difficult is the road to becoming a saint. It takes countless calamities. How can one become a saint after a mere calamity."

He paused and then said: "To the extreme of emptiness, keep stillness and sincerity; all things are working together, and I will observe and recover them. All things return to their roots. Returning to the root is called tranquility, and being quiet is called returning to life. Returning to life is called constant, and knowing the constant is called constant. Ming. If you don't know the usual, you will do evil in vain. If you know the normal appearance, the appearance is the public, the public is the whole, the whole is the sky, the sky is the Tao, the Tao is the long, and the body will not perish."

After hearing this, Chen Zhao stood up, bowed down, and said in his mouth, "I would like to be taught."

The reason is very simple, you can get the "Tao" only if you deal with things comprehensively, and you must go through countless calamities to become a saint.

Because the sage rules the universe, endures thousands of calamities without weariness, and remains untainted by cause and effect.Always with heaven, coexisting with Tao.

But obviously, he has already overcome the catastrophe in this world, and the right and wrong in the Three Realms can no longer affect Chen Zhao's cultivation, and what follows will only be loneliness and loneliness for hundreds of millions of years.

"From a poor perspective, you have served as dignitaries, but you have never been contaminated by the world of mortals. Even if you attain the Tao one day, you can't be called comprehensive. The world is vast, and you will be in the six realms of reincarnation once, and you will be counted as a calamity."

These words were not said by Taiqing Tianzun, but by his eldest disciple, Master Xuandu.

Tai Qing Wuwei would not give such detailed instructions.

But Xuandu can.

Because like Chen Zhao, he is also experiencing calamities.

Chen Zhao bowed again to express his thanks.

After leaving Taiqingtian, Chen Zhao wore a blue and white Taoist robe, tied up his hair with a bamboo hairpin, and wore a crane cloak that was rustling in the fairy wind, fluttering as he walked.The green-faced pines and cypresses are old, and their beauty is unprecedented in ancient and modern times.Even if it goes away, there is still no abiding, as if it is its own uniqueness.It's all about returning to the same Dharma, just to isolate the evil body.

With a slight pause, he landed in front of the Lingkong Palace in the Taixu Illusion Realm.

Facing the trembling of the real person in Lihuan, Chen Zhao smiled slightly: "I'm going..."
