"Du Long! I have an unkind request! I hope you can agree!" On the second space-time island, after being polite to Du Long, Zi Yan suddenly said with some embarrassment.

"Sister Zi Yan, it's okay to say it!" After some polite words, Du Long had another beautiful big sister: "As long as Du Long can do anything within his power, he will definitely do his best to help you!"

"You must have heard about my experience from Ling'er, right?!"

Zi Yan smiled bitterly and continued: "At this moment, once I appear in the God Realm, I will definitely cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Therefore, I hope to stay in this space for the time being and immerse myself in cultivating the avenue of time and space. It’s never too late to go out when you get the right opportunity!”

"no problem!"

Du Long agreed simply: "Actually, that's what I had in mind. Sister Zi Yan has a space-time crystal transplanted into her head. She must have an amazing talent in the space-time avenue. If she can't achieve anything in the space-time avenue, then what will happen to her?" What a pity!”

"Well! Thank you!" Zi Yan was now full of gratitude to the sunny and cheerful man in front of her, and she was also secretly pleased that the ring spirit Ling'er could find such a new owner who values ​​love and justice. .

After placing Zi Yan, Du Long hurriedly left the space where the Time and Space Island was located. After placing two beautiful sisters with whom he had only a short relationship, he finally settled some of his worries.

The most sensational event in the capital of the Tang Dynasty is probably the marriage of Tang Emperor Li Shimin to his beloved daughter Princess Changle!

It has to be said that Tang Emperor Li Shimin was very far-sighted in dealing with people. When it came to marrying his daughter, he actually chose a time when Du Long was free.

It can be seen from this that the success of this emperor who brought the Tang Dynasty to a glorious age is absolutely inevitable!

At the grand wedding, almost all the countries in the God Realm sent envoys to offer generous gifts to congratulate them. It can be described as congratulations from all nations. Such a grand occasion is absolutely rare in the world!

It was just a wedding of a princess, but it ended up gaining endless popularity for the Tang Dynasty. Looking at the capital of the Tang Dynasty from a distance, one can vaguely see thousands of purple steams swirling around, which shows how far the country's national destiny has risen!

The capital of the Tang Dynasty!

Envoys from all over the world were naturally received by officials of the Tang Dynasty's Ministry of Rites, but other distinguished guests could not be treated with such contempt.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin and other kings such as Li Shifeng and Li Shikang all came out in person and dressed up to welcome many distinguished guests.

In addition, the two great kings with different surnames, Xuanzang of Tang Dynasty and King Dulong of Zhou Dynasty, were also promoted by Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

The two of them also became half of the hosts of the Tang Dynasty to welcome distinguished guests. On the wedding day, they stood together with Li Shimin and the kings to welcome the distinguished guests from all walks of life!

It was also Li Shimin's approach of not treating Du Long and Tang Xuanzang as outsiders that made them feel a sense of belonging to the Tang Kingdom even more, as if they were the masters of this country.

Everyone knows that Du Long and Tang Xuanzang are both powerful men in the Bodhisattva Realm. Especially Du Long, although he has only grown up not long ago, is already the number one person in the Sumeru Ranking of the Bodhisattva Realm in the Great Leiyin Temple on Mount Xumi!

Although many people know that his true combat power should not be the first among many powerful people in the Bodhisattva Realm, but he can become the first person in the Sumeru Ranking of the Bodhisattva Realm, and he is definitely an outstanding person without any water!

The most important thing is that not long ago, news suddenly came out in the Western world that the King of Light and the Lord of Darkness had fallen almost simultaneously. Du Long was partly responsible for this result!

Although the two powerful men in the God Realm did not die in his hands, they were somewhat indirectly related. This also made all parties in the God Realm look at Du Longgao even more!

In short, it is precisely because of various reasons such as this that all parties in the divine world are full of curiosity and awe towards the legendary figure Du Long, and his status as the strongest Bodhisattva realm has also been elevated a lot. .

And all of this was one of the main reasons for the coming of all nations to the court. This was also the main reason why Tang Emperor Li Shimin had been suppressing Princess Changle's wedding until Du Long was free to attend!

"What have you been busy with, senior brother, in recent years?! Why didn't I meet you on Mount Sumeru?!" It was still early, and during the leisure time of welcoming guests, Du Long was there with Xuanzang of Tang Dynasty, also known as Sakyamuni Jin Chanzi, one of his direct disciples, gossiped about his parents.

Tang Xuanzang was a relatively mature and steady bald-headed monk. When faced with Du Long's questions, he habitually clasped his hands and smiled and replied: "Amitabha! As far as I know, the number of times my junior brother has gone up the mountain is estimated to be less than one palm, right?" !”

"Uh!" Du Long was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "It seems that I haven't been to Mount Sumeru a few times!"

"Junior brother, you are busy with things!" Tang Xuanzang raised the corner of his mouth with a faint smile.

"Okay!" Du Long could only helplessly shake his head and continued: "I wonder what senior brother has been busy with recently?! Is he practicing in seclusion, or..."

"Haha!" Before Tang Xuanzang could answer, Tang Emperor Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "Let me answer your question for my younger brother Xuanzang! In fact, since the end of the journey to the West, the emperor Brother, he has been concentrating on one thing!"

"Oh?!" Du Long said in surprise: "Besides cultivation, I really can't think of anything else that I can work on for so many years without finishing it?!"

"Practice?!" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly, and soon sighed and said: "It can indeed be regarded as a kind of practice! It's just that it's different from the kind of practice in seclusion. This kind of practice is actually. ..Educate all sentient beings! Accumulate immeasurable merits that will last forever!"

"Educate all sentient beings?! Accumulate immeasurable merit?!" Du Long immediately thought of a certain possibility: "Could it be that senior brother has been busy with the follow-up tasks of the journey to the West for so many years?!"

"Of course!" Tang Emperor Li Shimin said in admiration, stroking his beautiful beard.

"Don't you feel that the national destiny of our Tang Dynasty Kingdom is constantly rising?! Over the years, countless lonely ghosts and scattered souls have achieved blissful rebirth one after another under the help of the supreme Mahayana Buddhist sutras. Such an act of great merit and immeasurable virtue has never happened before in history?!"

"ah?!"

Du Long was obviously shocked by the news. He stared at the humble young monk in front of him with wide eyes and a faint blush on his handsome face.

"Senior brother's cultivation path... I really admire my senior brother..." Du Long could only murmur with emotion in the end.

"Haha! Du Long, you definitely only know this but don't know why!" Tang Emperor Li Shimin continued to laugh.

"How can you say this?!" Du Long was stunned again.

"You must think that Yudi is just trying to transcend the lonely ghosts in our Tang Kingdom, right?!"

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty continued to explain with a smile: "Actually, the scope of Yudi's transcendence does not stop here. Over the years, he has traveled all over the God Realm. The scope of his transcendence is definitely beyond your imagination. !”

Hiss!

Du Long secretly took a breath of cold air. He knew very well how vast and boundless the Divine Realm was. If he wanted to transcend the lonely souls and wild ghosts in the entire Divine Realm, how much effort and energy would it take? !

"Haha!" Tang Emperor Li Shimin chuckled and continued: "Over the years of endless eras, this God Realm has experienced the first year of the Primitive Era, the first year of the Wilderness Era, and now the first year of the Taichu Era!"

"At the turn of every *** year, this God Realm will be in chaos, and a world-destroying war will break out that will affect the entire God Realm. After the war, there will be three major centuries: the primitive, the wild, and the primordial!"

"Do you know how many living beings perished in these world-destroying wars? How many lonely ghosts and remnant souls are there in this world, wandering miserably between heaven and earth for the long years of endless epochs?!"

Well!

Du Long was dumbfounded again. He originally thought he had understood Jin Chanzi's practice situation, but now it seems that he still underestimated the other party's courage!

"Alas!" Suddenly, Tang Emperor Li Shimin let out a long sigh.

"In order to allow all the lonely ghosts and remnant souls born in the God Realm since the Endless Era to be reincarnated, my younger brother made a divine wish a long time ago that he will not save all the innocent ghosts and remnant souls in the world. If you lose your soul, I will never become a Buddha!"

"Uh! How come this is so similar to the oath made by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?!" Du Long was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of the legend about Ksitigarbha.

"Well!" Li Shimin said with a smile: "At the beginning, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who was also a direct disciple of Sakyamuni, made a sacred vow that he would not become a Buddha until the hell was empty, while his disciple Jin Chanzi made a vow. If you don’t make a similar divine wish to transcend all the lonely ghosts and scattered souls in the divine world, you will never become a Buddha!”

"So that's it!" Du Long suddenly realized it and subconsciously bowed to Tang Xuanzang and said: "You two senior brothers are so kind and compassionate, I am really ashamed of myself, junior brother!"

Du Long's hands were stained with the blood of his enemies, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe him as killing without batting an eye. That's why he felt a little ashamed of Tang Xuanzang.

"Junior brother, what you said is wrong!"

Tang Xuanzang did not let Tang Emperor Li Shimin speak for him this time, but responded gently: "I am a compassionate Buddha. There are those who are willing to slay all evil spirits, and there are also those who are angry and righteous and vow to kill all the evil spirits in the world. Everyone." You have your own path to take, and as long as your heart is kind, your actions can create endless merit!"

"Uh... Why do I sound a bit abstract and can't fully understand the meaning of senior brother's words?!" Du Long replied, scratching his head in embarrassment.

"Brother, let me give you the simplest example!"

Tang Xuanzang was not annoyed at all, and continued to explain gently: "Not long ago, my junior brother killed many people in Dongsheng Shenzhou, but why did he not only not cause any karma for himself? In fact, he also gained immeasurable merit?!"

"I understand!" Du Long understood instantly from the simple example given by the other party.

Some people regard overcoming evil and doing good as a kind of practice, while I regard punishing evil and rescuing kind and innocent people as a kind of practice. As long as the starting point is good, the final result will be good.

"Amitabha! Good! Good!" Tang Xuanzang clasped his hands together and shouted the Buddha's name with joy. (To be continued)
