Journey to the West from Daqin

Li Jue's face twitched, speechless and shocked.

This is just a war before the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, not even the official Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, why are there so many gods involved?

Suddenly he thought of a possibility.

That is because his appearance changed the fate of Daqin, and at the same time changed the possible trajectory of the Dao of Heaven, so the trajectory of the Dao of Heaven returned to normal, that is, Daqin was defeated, and God supported the Overlord of Western Chu and King Liu Bang of Han.

Li Jue didn't even have to try to imagine it, but he knew that the overlord Xiang Yu had clairvoyant eyes, smooth ears, giant spirit gods, and the canopy marshal who had already rebelled.

Then the number of immortals on Liu Bang's side will definitely not be less than this number.

In this way, he has a very headache. Could it be that he is forced to invite Monkey King to participate in it?

Thinking of this, Li Jue even misses the Water Curtain Cave, which is a good place, and the divine power inside is so strong that it makes people intoxicated.

His plan was to go to Water Curtain Cave to find Sun Wukong to retreat and practice after the disputes in the mortal world were over.

You don't even need to be in such a hurry to go to the sky, because the fairy energy of Water Curtain Cave is stronger than that of the sky.

Now instead of waiting, he wanted to go directly to Water Curtain Cave.

Marshal Tianpeng saw Li Jue's worry and nervousness from the side, so he laughed and said indifferently: "Brother Li, don't worry, isn't there me here?"

"You and I work together, don't talk about clairvoyance, wind ears, giant spirits and gods, even if the sky is full of gods and Buddhas, what is there to be afraid of?"

Li Jue rolled his eyes wildly, Marshal Canopy is too arrogant and arrogant, but in fact, these gods are still easy to deal with.

The army has arrived in Suzhou, where Su Jiao and Wang Li have already captured in advance, and Daqin's two-line attack, this is the best choice to attack Jiangdong.

Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, and the land of Suzhou is rich and rich, when Zhong Limei leads his troops to retreat, he will not have time to take away all the rich merchants in the army and grain.

On the contrary, the Great Qin soldiers were provided with generous logistical support, so that they would not be hungry, and even wealthy businessmen could reward the Great Qin soldiers and improve their food.

Daqin soldiers came to live outside the city of Suzhou, but did not enter the city directly. Only a few black armor troops entered the city to maintain order and appease the hearts of the people.

His Majesty the Emperor and many ministers followed in and settled in the former Suzhou Hotel.

After that, Li Jue didn't even ask about the formation of troops, marching and fighting. What he needed to do was that if the enemy didn't send out the gods, he wouldn't easily help them.

Returning to Suzhou City, Marshal Tianpeng was like a wild horse running wild, happily leading his colleagues to visit mountains and rivers, eat, drink and have fun, looking for flowers and willows.

He wanted to come to Li Jue to have a drink and have fun, but was rejected. He aimed at those ministers of civil and military affairs, especially those literati and poets, who were very serious on the surface, but very flamboyant in private.

Looking for flowers and willows with them, drinking and chatting with them, it was very happy.

As for Li Jue, he just found a place to start alchemy. After getting the million-year-old ginseng, he still hasn't used it reasonably.

is the day.

Li Jue was walking inside and outside Suzhou City, and his spiritual consciousness enveloped the entire Suzhou City and the land with a radius of a hundred miles, because he needed to find a place with rich aura in the heaven and earth to refine the elixir.

Soon he found a place with a particularly rich aura, and some people were already building attic halls here.

He couldn't help frowning, because in that place, he found many Mohist disciples, especially Xiang Lishi, the current giant of the Mohist family.

Li Jue came to this open space, which is at the foot of a mountain outside Suzhou City, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with singing birds and fragrant flowers, it really is a good place to go!

Xiangli and the others had also discovered Li Jue's arrival, and hurriedly led the Mohists to pay a visit.

"Old Master Xiangli, I pay my respects to King Side by Side. Could it be that the prince also came here because of the strong aura here?"

Li Jue nodded, "This place is indeed full of aura, far better than other places in Suzhou. I think that pavilions, pavilions, palaces and temples have already begun to be built here. Could it be that someone has taken a fancy to this place before?"

Xiangli said: "I waited for two days to come here to find out what happened. It turns out that a few months ago, a monk from Tianzhu took a fancy to this place and wanted to build it into a temple."

Li Jue's eyes were serious for a moment, and he said in a deep voice, "Do you know where that monk has gone? I want to see him in person."

Xiangli shook his head directly, and said: "The monk who presided over the construction of the temple has long since disappeared, and it is estimated that he has retreated with Zhongli Mo's army. The only ones left here are some newly ordained monks."

Li Jue nodded, and said: "Looking at you, it seems that you are not surprised by the monks in Tianzhu, but you know them quite well. Is there a connection?"

Xiangli said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know that Mozi, the ancestor of my Mohist family, once traveled around the world, had countless disciples under his sect, and some brothers and sisters once went to the Western Regions.

Although he has never been to Tianzhu, he also met a monk from Tianzhu on the way, talked with him, learned about the situation in Tianzhu, and knew that in Tianzhu, there are actually three teachings and nine streams whose theories are no less than those of the Central Plains. "

Li Jue smiled, and understood that the Mohist disciples went to the Western Regions definitely not to travel around the world to spread their theories, but probably, like Xu Fu, to find a quiet and peaceful pure land for the Mohist.

But he didn't see it through, he didn't break it.

Instead, he nodded. From this point of view, in the Central Plains, someone had already communicated with the people of Tianzhu in advance.

Li Jue wanted to meet the novice monks who stayed here, and learn about their construction of temples here.

It is to send people to invite the sheriff of Kuaiji County, and at the same time to bring all the monks who have been imprisoned. The officials who built the temple here are naturally brought in to ask questions.

When everyone came in front of Li Jue, they were all trembling, they didn't dare to look up at each other, and they didn't know how the powerful prince in front of them would deal with them.

The prefect of Kuaiji is also in charge of the military, government and people's livelihood affairs of Suzhou City. He is a high-ranking official who followed from Xianyang.

He also knew Li Jue a little bit, but at this time his identity was far from Li Jue's, so he didn't dare to neglect him, so he quickly bowed his hands to salute.

Li Jue went straight to the point and said: "Master Chen, here at the foot of the cold mountain outside Gusu City, there is a piece of pure land, which was chosen by Buddhists as a Buddhist land to build a temple. You have taken over Suzhou for many days, you know ?”

The sheriff said: "Reporting to the lord, Xiaguan only found out about this two days ago. The monk who built the temple here was the Tianzhu monk Bodhidharma who followed Zhao Gao and others to meet the emperor in the Suzhou residence."

A light flashed in Li Jue's eyes, secretly thinking that it was true, but he didn't expect Damo to come back after so many years after leaving the Central Plains, and he would make troubles as soon as he came back.

And choose such a place of spiritual mountains and wonderful waters here to build Buddhist temples.

In this way, Bodhidharma probably also took refuge in Overlord Xiang Yu.But it is also understandable, after all, he was supporting Zhao Gao and Hu Hai before, hoping to take this opportunity to overthrow Yingzheng, and then promote Buddhism.

After all, Yingzheng advocates legal Taoism, and Zhao Gao and Huhai will definitely agree to build a Buddhist temple for political interests, so as to win over Bodhidharma.

There was also a temple built outside Xianyang city, but it was razed to the ground by Li Jue, and under the rule of Daqin, there were no more Buddhist temples.

Here Suzhou is the land of Jiangdong, which was ruled by Overlord Xiang Yu for a long time. In order to show sincerity and win over, Overlord Xiang Yu and others naturally agreed with Bodhidharma to build a temple.

But he didn't expect to be chased away by General Su Jiao's troops. The temple here has not been completed, and the pavilions, temples and halls are only shelves!

The county guard said: "If the prince is interested in this place, the lower officials will immediately ask people to build it into a palace and dedicate it to the prince."

Li Jue shook his head, and said, "This is a blessed place with rich aura, which should be shared by all people in the world. It is really unreasonable for me to monopolize it as my property."

"It's better to give this place to the Mohist people to build palaces and temples, but they are not used to enshrine the golden body of Buddhism, but to support the mountain gods, land, city gods, and dragon kings in Suzhou."

The county guard said: "Your Highness is really kind and benevolent. He is not self-serving and benefits others everywhere. I have a proposal. Here we still enshrine the Land of the City God and the God of the Dragon King, but His Majesty the Emperor also promised to make a golden statue for him. It is better to use this place as a palace, enshrine the longevity tablet of the prince, enjoy the land of Jiangdong, and worship with incense."

Li Jue nodded in satisfaction. The sheriff is very good at dealing with things. In fact, he originally thought so, but it was difficult to say it directly.

Now that the sheriff had proposed it, he shirked it again and again, but nodded in agreement.

Chapter 380 Bai Suzhen under the West Lake in Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City

This piece of pure land at the foot of the cold mountain outside Gusu City was originally intended to be built into a temple by the Buddhist Bodhidharma, but now it has become a place where the golden statue of Li Jue is enshrined.

Moreover, the people of the Mohists arranged by Li Jue are obviously more comfortable in building palaces and temples, and the construction period can be greatly shortened. Palaces and temples will also be built, which are more magnificent and beautiful than temples and attics.

The Xiangli family and other Mohists were very excited. When they came here, they couldn't bear to see the original workers destroy the pure land here and build a temple that looked like nothing else.

Now that Li Jue directly took back the pure land here and handed it over to them to build palaces and pavilions, that would be the best, but it would also allow them to play to their full potential.

The Xiangli family returned to the Central Plains with the Mohist disciples. It has been difficult for them to sleep and eat for a while, because they used to be selfish and avoided the world, and they did not contribute much to the land of the Central Plains.

However, the treatment they enjoyed after they came back was extremely generous, which made them feel uneasy and guilty, and they were eager to perform meritorious service.

But apart from improving some military equipment, it has no other effect. There are many Mohists, most of them have nothing to do, but they can't help but think wildly.

It will be guessed whether they are not reused, or whether they are cast in secret.

Now Li Jue has assigned them a task to build a pavilion, a palace and a temple here, and it is extremely important to enshrine Li Jue's longevity tablet and golden statue.

Naturally, they felt that they were valued, so they took it seriously, and repeatedly guaranteed that the construction period would be completed in just two or three months, and they would do it perfectly.

The Xiangli family asked again: "My lord, if a temple is built here, what should the temple be named after?"

Li Jue thought for a while and said, "This place is outside Gusu City, at the foot of Hanshan Mountain. Why not call it Hanshan Temple."

The Xiangli family quickly flattered, "You are worthy of being a prince. If so, the palace and temple here will be called Hanshan Temple in the future."

Li Jue patted them on the shoulder, and after a few words of encouragement, he retreated.

The sheriff hurriedly said, "My lord, what should we do with these novice monks and the workers who built the temple?"

Li Jue said: "The workers are all released, and they can also be allowed to follow the orders of the Mohists and participate in the construction of the Hanshan Temple."

"As for those novice monks, advise them to practice Taoism. If they refuse, kill them all."

The sheriff and everyone turned pale with shock, not because of Li Jue's decisive killing, but because of his prejudice against Buddhism.

Today, it is still a situation where the three religions and nine streams are contending among a hundred schools of thought. Although it is said that the Great Qin Dynasty burned books and buried Confucianism, the academic atmosphere is not as strong as before, but the situation of a hundred schools of thought still contends.

Therefore, not many people reject Buddhism, but treat it as one of the three religions and nine streams.

However, when Li Jue gave the order, everyone could carry it out as usual.

Moreover, they seem to have grasped Li Jue's habits, attitude, and temper, and they will have a direction in how to behave in the future.

After finishing the matter here, Li Jue headed towards the West Lake, found a deep mountain and old forest directly beside the West Lake, and opened up a piece of pure land.

He started to make a fire to make alchemy.

After 49 days, Li Jue ended alchemy.

Ginseng has been refined into pills by him for millions of years, and most of them are used by him to refine pills that increase cultivation and qi and blood. Only a very small part of the roots are used by him to refine pills that increase lifespan Elixir.

Increasing lifespan is not what he needs urgently, but just in case of emergency.

The elixir that increases cultivation and qi and blood is what he urgently needs right now, and after refining it, Li Jue plans to swallow it directly to increase his cultivation and condense qi and blood to strengthen his body.

but.

Just as Li Jue collected the Sanwei Zhenhuo and the alchemy furnace, and was about to swallow the elixir, he suddenly frowned and looked towards the West Lake in the distance.

Can't help but roar: "Where is the evildoer, dare to covet this king, why don't you show yourself quickly?"

He let out a lion's roar, which contained a strong spiritual shock. In an instant, the entire West Lake exploded.

Immediately, two big snakes flew out of the West Lake, one green and one white, and rushed towards Li Jue on two sides, but before they approached, they turned into human figures, one on the left and one on the right, standing a hundred feet away from the pure land with a long sword in their hands.

Li Jue put no expression on his face, put away the elixir, glanced at the two snake demons, and couldn't help laughing.

"Where am I supposed to be an evildoer, how dare I covet this king! It turns out that there are two snake demons who have practiced for many years, and they are also two snake spirits. You are so brave, you dare to do harm to the world here."

The two sisters, the Green Snake and the White Snake, had serious expressions on their faces, holding long swords to the left and right, not daring to relax at all.

Because during this period of more than a month, they witnessed the scene of Li Jue manipulating the three flavors of real fire and refining the elixir.
