The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

Holding the holy relic of the Bon religion, Zhong began to search for the treasure in the entire Nalanda Temple.

After a long time down.

Zhong also did not find what he wanted.

"Isn't it here? But it doesn't look like it. After putting together the four maps, the final location seems to be here." Zhong was really puzzled.

After a long time, not to mention that the treasure was not seen, even I began to doubt the authenticity of those few animal skin maps.

but.

Not long after that was suspected by the bell.

Zhong, however, noticed something strange.

"It turns out that there is also a secret passage under the Nalanda Temple." Zhong looked very happy after seeing a secret passage opened by himself unintentionally.

There is a secret passage, which means that the treasure will be stored in the underground secret passage.

Without further ado.

Zhong went straight into the dark passage.

in a moment.

But Zhong saw an incredible place.

A small underground city resplendent and resplendent.

In the small dungeon, a pool was also dug.

In the middle of the pond, on top of the lotus leaves, a white lotus pod is quietly standing in the center, which looks extremely abrupt.

And when Zhong saw the white lotus pod, he was shocked.

White lotus.

This is no ordinary thing.

What can become white is said in Buddhism, it is a holy thing.

And it is also the most fancy lotus among Buddhists.

And when Zhong saw the white lotus pod, he knew that it was the treasure pointed by the animal skin drawing.

holy lotus.

This is the fate of the treasure.

Shenglian and Zhu Guo are both top-level miracle medicines.

Inside the lotus pod, there are twelve lotus seeds.

As long as the lotus pod is ripe, anyone who still has a breath, or who is about to die, can eat a lotus seed of the holy lotus, and he will be able to live the dead.

This sacred lotus, in the eyes of people in Jianghu, can be regarded as a sacred object.

after all.

It's a life-saver.

This also allowed Zhong to understand why the dungeon of the Lingbao Gate was built in such a way to protect these animal skin maps.

As for why one of the four maps is missing, and this one is in the hands of the Bon religion, it is even more engraved on the sacred objects of the Bon religion.

Zhong couldn't figure out all this, nor could he explain clearly.

Zhong approached the edge of the pool, staring at the holy lotus, feeling excited and happy.

Such a precious medicine is presented in front of my eyes.

采？

Not adopted?

Cai, not the time.

If not, Zhong was afraid of being found out.

but.

Zhong Dao took a closer look, and according to his deduction, it would probably take several days before the holy lotus matured.

For this reason, Zhong can only wait.

This wait.

That's nearly half a month.

After getting the bell of Shenglian, he left Nalanda Temple and headed towards the Tang Dynasty.

all the way.

Zhong's excitement was beyond words.

After Zhong Yi returned to Longquan Temple, when he saw Jiu'er, who was pouting and unhappy, his excitement immediately turned into love.

"Father, you have been away for a long time. When father left, you didn't tell Jiu'er that Jiu'er doesn't like father anymore." Jiu'er pouted, as if angry, which made Zhong feel very guilty.

There is a saying.

When the little baby is angry and sad, if she says she doesn't like you anymore, then you are the one she likes.

Of course, the little baby has a lot of people he likes, and it depends on who is more important.

Chapter 928 The Tubo Kingdom is in Chaos and the Prince Abandoned

at this time.

In the Tai Chi Hall of the Chang'an City Palace, however, court discussions are taking place.

Li Shimin, who had already returned from the Eastern Expedition, sat on the throne, quietly watching all the officials below, and listening to their performances.

Li Shimin who came back from the Eastern Expedition.

It can be said to be full of spring breeze.

Its status is as high as the sky, reaching the zenith, and no one can regret it.

and.

At this time, Li Shimin, although a little old, was full of energy.

Li Shimin is very optimistic about the future of Tang State.

And this time.

Once during Li Shimin's Eastern Expedition, Li Chengqian, who handled state affairs on his behalf, suddenly stood up on his knees, "My father's generation of Mingjun, his achievements can surpass the Han ancestors, and his name can surpass the Qin emperor. According to his father's achievements, he must stand upright in the world. , Therefore, my son suggested that for the merits of the father, an eternal celestial hub should be built in Chang'an."

"My minister agrees that the achievements of the Holy One can completely build a heavenly hub for all eternity, and sing the achievements of the Holy One to make the common people admire and make Fanbang submit." As soon as Prince Li Chengqian's words fell behind, Changsun Wuji also stood up and turned to Li Shimin. report.

"The minister also agrees."

"The minister also agrees."

More and more civil servants stood up and said that they would set up a piece of Tianshu for Li Shimin.

What is Tianshu?

That represents the center of the world, which means the center of the world.

It is also a pillar of record.

Those who can set up this pillar are all people whose achievements are greater than the sky.

And from the beginning of Li Shimin's ascension to the present, the world has been peaceful, and even the Turks have been pacified.

With this achievement, he really has the ability to establish Tianshu.

Furthermore.

In the later period, the countries in the Western Regions were pacified. Up to now, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje and other countries have been pacified.

With such a great achievement, it is understandable that Li Chengqian proposed to establish Tianshu.

The civil servants spoke, and the generals naturally spoke.

This is not.

Yuchi Jingde, who came back from Fusang Kingdom, immediately stood up, "Your Majesty, I absolutely agree with the crown prince's proposal to establish a Tianshu. However, I heard a news recently that there is a civil turmoil in Tubo, so I don't want to interrupt it." The proposal that the crown prince said, but the news of the internal turmoil in Tubo, I dare not delay."

With Yuchi Jingde's words.

The other generals also stood up one after another.

Just like Cheng Yaojin.

"Your Majesty, I have occasionally heard that there is a civil strife in Tubo, and military disasters have occurred in various places. Your Majesty, this is a good time for us, or else, I will bring tens of thousands of people to pacify the Tubo Kingdom." Cheng Yaojin is most looking forward to the war.

As long as there is a need to fight, his position as the Duke of the country will be more stable.

then.

All the generals came forward one after another, saying that they would lead troops to fight against Tubo.

The civil servants were interrupted when they heard the prince's proposal, and the military generals wanted to launch a war against Tubo, so it was natural to fight for stability.

"I do not agree. Our Tang Kingdom has just ended the Eastern Expedition, and now we are going to go west again. The people of our Tang Kingdom are miserable. I suggest that the Western Expedition be suspended." Fang Xuanling is the head of civil servants, so he naturally wants to stand up and stop it. .

"I also don't agree to continue to launch wars against China. Besides, Tubo is not as easy to attack as Goguryeo. Moreover, our Tang country does not have much food and grass. If we want to go west at this time, the national strength of our Tang country will inevitably decline. "Changsun Wuji also disagreed.

"You sour Confucians, do you know that Tubo Kingdom is in civil strife at this time, and it is the time of conquest. If you miss this time, you will never find such a good opportunity in the future. Don't you want the border of Tang Kingdom? , are you being harassed by the Tubo Kingdom?" When Yuchi Jingde heard this, he would not agree to the proposal of the civil servants.

Along with Yuchi Jingde's words.

The civil servants and generals started to quarrel again.

But Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne, looked at these civil servants and generals coldly, but he was thinking about the Tubo Kingdom in his heart.

News from Tubo Kingdom.

Li Shimin has heard of it recently, but only occasionally, but he is not very clear.

For the Tubo Kingdom.

Tang Guo has always been on guard, but rarely provokes troubles.

after all.

In the plateau area, the Tang people wanted to attack, but it was really not that easy.

and.

He, Li Shimin, knew even more that as long as Tang's soldiers and horses moved into the plateau of Tubo, countless casualties would surely occur.

Well a few years ago.

After he heard Li Shan's words, he had already made arrangements.

and.

In the Chaka Salt Lake area.

There are also Qiang soldiers and horses available.

After so many years.

In the Chaka Salt Lake area, the Qiang soldiers and horses have already recruited no less than 5 people.

Qiang people are good at fighting, there is no reason why Li Shimin doesn't know.

and.

Chaka Salt Lake is not only the treasury of Tang State, but also the treasury of Lizhou.

same.

It is also the source of grain for the Qiang people.

Thoughtful Li Shimin looked at the quarreling civil servants and generals, and then stood up.

As soon as Li Shimin stood up, the quarreling voices of the officials immediately faded away.

"Li Shan, tell me about the situation in Tubo Kingdom." After Li Shimin got up, seeing that the quarrel had stopped, he casually shouted to Li Shan not far away.

Li Shimin asked Li Shan to talk about the situation in Tubo, which shows that Li Shimin intends to use force against Tubo.
