Chapter 32 The dragon wants to come out of the abyss
Chapter 32 The dragon is about to emerge from the abyss
In the Jinhua Mansion in the capital, Li Chong was sitting with a calm expression, and Yuan Shoucheng stood opposite, with a calm expression as well.
Looking at Yuan Shoucheng, Li Chong's eyes were bright and uncertain.
"Mr. Yuan, you should know a lot about me, right?"
Hearing Li Chong's words, Yuan Shoucheng's expression changed, knowing that Li Chong was forcing him to express his position.
From the moment he stepped into the capital, the twelve princes in front of him told him some things one after another. From the moment he knew those things, Yuan Shoucheng knew that he had to follow this prince now, otherwise he would have to die, or even die.
The fate of being completely destroyed, because only in this way can the secret of this prince be kept.
As for taking refuge in Buddhism and knowing the conspiracy to destroy Buddhism, the result would be death, or even worse than death.
Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters, and Yuan Shoucheng never thought that the prince in front of him would be merciful and let him go.
I believe that as long as I have the slightest hesitation, what awaits me will be a thunderous strike and death.
"My subordinates have met Your Highness. I, Yuan Shoucheng, make an oath here. I will drive for Your Highness in this life. If I swear to this, I will be struck by thunder from the sky and never recover! The cycle will continue for generations to come."
After hearing Yuan Shoucheng's oath, Li Chong raised his eyelids, his expression full of confidence and a hint of domineering.
"Mr. Yuan's choice must be the most correct choice in this life! As long as you live up to me, I will live up to you."
When Yuan Shoucheng made the oath, Li Chong truly regarded him as his confidant. If Yuan Shoucheng had hesitated just now, Li Chong would not have minded killing him on the spot.
Facing this sky full of gods and Buddhas, you must be ruthless, domineering, and kind. This is not what the world needs. It will only make you fall into eternal disaster.
"I have always had a question in my mind regarding the execution of the Jinghe Dragon King. I wonder if Mr. Yuan can explain it in detail."
Looking at Yuan Shoucheng, Li Chong told Yuan Shoucheng the doubts in his heart.
"Your Highness, please speak. I will definitely tell you everything I know!"
Yuan Shoucheng replied calmly.
"It's about your gambling fight with the Jinghe Dragon King. I had a chance encounter with the Jinghe Dragon King that day. He shouldn't be such a loyal and reckless person, so I always feel that there are a lot of doubts in it! Please help me, sir.
Solve this doubt!"
"Your Highness is too polite. The Jing River Dragon Lord did find me that day, but he only discussed with me the fisherman's overfishing of the Jing River aquatic tribe. I also promised that he would not tell fortunes for the old fisherman.
But the next day, the old Dragon King came to ask for help in person, saying that he had been framed and was about to die. Please show him a way out, and then be soft-hearted and guide him to find the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty. With your majesty's strong luck, he will be able to protect Jinghe
Dragon Lord.
But it was this incident that caused me to get into great trouble and had to flee to another country."
Speaking of this, Yuan Shoucheng couldn't help but feel a trace of annoyance and lamentation in his elegant and indifferent expression.
"Not long after, I suddenly heard that Prime Minister Wei dreamed of beheading the Jinghe Dragon Lord. I was shocked. The hexagram I calculated for the Jinghe Dragon Lord was a near miss. Although I am not talented, I am proficient in this calculation method.
But now the Jinghe Dragon Lord was beheaded. In great confusion, he immediately divined and found that the Jinghe Dragon Lord was not dead. Just when he was confused, the Jinghe Dragon Lord suddenly appeared and told me to escape immediately.
Chang'an, everything mentioned is a Buddhist conspiracy.
My rescue of the Dragon King of Jinghe has ruined the Buddhist plan. If I don't stay away from Chang'an, I will definitely die.
Jinghe Longjun said this and left in a hurry.
Shocked in his heart, he immediately calculated a hexagram for himself. The hexagram said that being forced by the west was extremely dangerous, and he had to go to the east to avoid this disaster. He thought it was the Confucius Mansion, spreading the power of the Holy Duke, but it turned out that
I didn’t expect it to be His Highness.”
Yuan Shoucheng recalled the past with sadness, but one hexagram caused such a disaster. He couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
Li Chong listened quietly, but he was even more confused. The Dragon King of Jinghe was not dead, so who was the dragon ghost that invaded the palace? Where is the Dragon King of Jinghe now? How could the royal family of the Tang Dynasty save Jinghe?
Mr. Long’s?
And what is the relationship between the Jinghe Dragon Lord and the Tang Dynasty royal family, so that the Tang Dynasty was willing to risk offending heaven and the West to save the Jinghe Dragon Lord?
All of a sudden, many questions came one after another, causing Li Chong to fall into deep thought. The more he knew, he found that things became more and more complicated.
Seeing Li Chong deep in thought, Yuan Shoucheng also stood quietly aside, looking at the twelfth prince, with deep awe in his calm and elegant expression.
In the past few days, I have completely understood everything about the twelve princes. Since I was a teenager, I have been hiding it, silently enduring the contempt of everyone, and always bearing the title of stupid prince but not caring.
He also acquired strange abilities, and his strength reached the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
This scheming and strength make me respect and fear me. Only such people are worthy of my loyal assistance. Only such people can make me sincerely convinced and willing to assist.
This is also the reason why I took the oath without hesitation.
But now that he has become the staff of the Twelve Princes, everything in the future must be centered on the Twelve Princes, and he must give full play to his identity and strength as a staff member. He must thoroughly demonstrate his value. Only in this way can he gain more attention from the Twelve Princes.
, to become the first person around him.
Because these twelve princes are like a hidden dragon that may leap into the abyss. One day, they will surely soar into the sky and shock the world.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, startling Li Chong from his deep thoughts.
I shook my head and stopped thinking about it. Since I can't figure it out now, I won't go into trouble. As the incident unfolds, I believe I will be able to fully understand it all.
He said calmly to the door.
"come in!"
There was a creaking sound, and a burly figure appeared in front of Li Chong.
"Jingye, what can I do?"
"Your Highness, there is a messenger from the palace outside the door conveying His Majesty's decree. I wonder if Your Highness will receive you?"
Hearing Li Chong's answer, Xu Jingye pondered for a moment and asked. Xu Jingye and Li Chong grew up together and were the only people Li Chong trusted completely. Naturally, he knew that Li Chong had always pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool, not wanting the world to know his true strength.
.
Therefore, if anything happens to the royal family, they have more or less excused it with various excuses. And the royal family will not really deal with a stupid prince, everything is just a routine matter.
So this time Xu Jingye wanted to ask Li Chong if everything was business as usual.
Hearing Xu Jingye's words, Li Chong's expression changed. Has his father decided to show himself to the world?
But I really need to show myself to the world, let the world know that I, the twelfth prince, Li Chong, am not a fool or a pitiful person. I am a wise prince who is the best in the world, a handsome and mighty prince.
With his current strength, he is not afraid of anyone. The accumulated strength is fully sufficient to cope with all emergencies in the royal family.
In the future, appearing as a real prince will also bring benefits to himself and make things more convenient. Judging from the information that he secretly learned, there must be a powerful and terrifying force in the royal family. As long as he confirms the identity of the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he will be able to do things more conveniently in the future.
When resisting the immortals and Buddhas and hindering the journey to the west, the immortals and Buddhas in the world will inevitably be afraid of themselves.
More importantly, what Li Chong is most urgent about now is that he can openly study ancient martial arts among the royal family and browse the martial arts classics of the royal family. He can look for profound martial arts classics that can condense his boxing intention and learn, so as to achieve his own martial arts method.
.
Only in this way can one pursue the path of the ancient warriors and recreate the glory and style of the ancient warriors.
Feeling the most primitive instinct of excitement in the body, I sighed slightly in my heart, maybe this is what this body wants to achieve most, what it wants to show most, since I occupy this body, then I will achieve it for you.
All this!
Thinking of this, Li Chong burst out with a strong confidence and aura, a glorious aura that he had endured for many years and was finally proud of himself, a monstrous self-confidence that would never give up, and that he would become a blockbuster if he didn't complain.
"Dedication, welcome the messenger!"
Li Chong stood up slowly and spoke lightly to Xu Jingye. His faint words contained all the undying strength, strong confidence and momentum.
Looking at Li Chong who was slowly getting up, Xu Jingye was shocked all over. His eyes looking at Li Chong were full of firmness and complete trust.
A fierce energy burst out from his whole body, and he said firmly to Li Chong.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
He immediately turned around and shouted at the door.
"Open the front door wide and straighten your crown to receive the messenger."
The powerful voice echoed throughout the mansion.
"Let's go and meet the envoy with me."
He waved lightly to Xu Jingye and Yuan Shoucheng, and walked out with a golden sword.
The two people behind them looked at Li Chong's figure, a burst of confidence and determination, and followed him closely.
Outside the Jinhua Mansion, the messenger who delivered the decree stood outside the door with a bored look on his face. The entire Tang Dynasty knew that this twelfth prince was a fool. He was the most boring and unattractive person to come here to deliver the decree.
In the past, many people did things perfunctorily, and I wanted to leave in a hurry. I don't know why this time His Majesty had to hand it over to the twelfth prince himself, to a fool.
This was the emperor's order, and I didn't dare to disobey it even if I had a hundred courages, so I had to come here to deliver the order out of boredom.
"boom."
Just when the messenger was bored, there was a roar, the main door of Jinhua Mansion opened wide, and the servants lined up in two lines. What attracted his attention most was a man walking up with his head held high, wearing a Confucian crown and a scarlet cloud suit.
There is a purple jade belt around his waist, inlaid with precious stones and agate. He has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and his face is stern and powerful.
As he walked slowly, an overwhelming aura came towards him. A noble and glorious temperament overflowed out, and overwhelming majesty came towards him.
The messenger was involuntarily impressed that a noble man from Tianhuang, who didn't know they were two princes, came to the residence of the twelfth prince.
When he saw the person coming, the messenger bowed from afar, showing great respect.
"Your Highness, I am conveying a decree to His Highness the Twelve Princes. I don't know where His Highness is. Can you please come out? This decree must be delivered to the Twelve Princes in person."
After listening to the messenger's words, Li Chong's expression remained unchanged.
"I am the twelfth prince. I wonder what your majesty's decree is?"
"What? How is that possible?!"
Hearing the words of this majestic man, the messenger was shocked and his heart was filled with emotions. Isn't this twelfth prince a fool? How could he be so majestic? How could he be so majestic?
The messenger suddenly thought of something. As a member of the royal family, he naturally had broader and deeper knowledge than others. At the same time, when he looked at the Twelve Princes, his eyes were not only respectful, but also full of awe. The original contempt and ridicule were swept away. Only what was left was left.
Deep awe and respect.
I was even more scared in my heart. Fortunately, I was not rude just now and everything was respectful. Otherwise, I would be in the current situation.
When I think of this, I break out in cold sweat.
After being stunned for a moment, the messenger became more respectful and bowed sharply in salute. He even dared not look directly at Li Chong.
"To the twelfth prince, this is His Majesty's decree. Please accept it."
"Read it!"
Seeing the messenger's demeanor, Li Chong felt calm and said calmly.
Hearing the words of the twelfth prince, the messenger was slightly relieved. Now he wanted to convey the decree quickly and leave immediately. Not only did this idiot prince suddenly turn into a wise and mighty prince, but the majestic and noble aura of this prince also made him lose his temper.
I can't stand it myself.
He stood up slightly, but his eyes remained calm.
"By God's blessing, the emperor has issued an edict: The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has decreed that the prince of Tubo, Tride Songtsan, and the three great Tantric monks, Shan Wuwei, Vajra Wisdom, and Fu Kong, come to the Tang Dynasty to see His Majesty. All the princes are specially summoned to come to the palace to see you together tomorrow."
Li Chong was shocked when he heard the content of this imperial edict. Buddhism finally took action. He came to visit him in the name of the Tibetan envoy to talk about the scriptures. Buddhism had a brilliant move.
"Please accept the order from the Twelfth Prince!"
After reading it, the messenger respectfully and carefully raised the edict and handed it to Li Chong.
"Watch and enjoy!"
After taking the imperial edict, Li Chong said to Jingye next to him.
Then he turned around and entered the mansion. This matter needed careful planning. The three eminent monks of Tantric Buddhism all took action together. They even chose to visit during the grand event gathered by Confucianism. It seemed that they were confident and well prepared!
His Majesty chose this time to summon him, and it seemed that he also wanted to make himself known to the public in a high-profile manner and give himself a reputation.
A flash of light flashed in his eyes. Isn't this an opportunity for him? Now that he has appeared in the court rashly, he will definitely be criticized by many princes and even be restrained by many, which will be very detrimental to future opportunities. But as long as he wins the world's scholars
With the recognition of Confucianism, he can even get the support of Confucianism. In the future, he will have his own place in the court. He can even use the power of Confucianism to deal with the spread of Buddhism and hinder the progress of the Westward Journey. He can also occupy the great righteousness and stop Wu Zetian with the righteousness of the world.
ascend the throne.
But before that, Li Chong still needed to meet someone.
"Mr. Yuan, I'm going out for a while. Could you please help me plan tomorrow's events?"
Yuan Shoucheng behind him heard Li Chong's words and his expression changed.
Arriving at a remote and quiet house not far from the busy city, Li Chong dressed up and gently knocked on the door.
"come in!"
Creaking, the door opened. Inside, Wang Xiaotong was holding a book of scriptures and sitting quietly in the lobby, as if waiting for someone.
Seeing this figure, Li Chong looked respectful, walked slowly, and bowed to salute.
"Students meet their teachers."
"It's Chong'er. My teacher happens to be at home today. It's a coincidence that I'm here."
Hearing Master Wang's words, Li Chong was shocked and took a step forward.
"Teacher Wan'an, the student once concealed something from the teacher. Now he feels extremely guilty and has come here to apologize to the teacher."
After going to the temple tomorrow, my identity will be revealed to the world. I have deliberately not mentioned my identity since becoming a teacher, and the teacher has never asked.
But since I am a teacher, I can't hide anything. Thinking of the teacher's handwriting has saved me from many difficulties. Now that I have achieved strength, I can't forget the teacher's kindness and the kindness of a loving father.
.
After hearing Li Chong's words, Wang Xiaotong gently put down the slip in his hand and looked at Li Chong indifferently.
"No matter what your status is, you are just my disciple, and nothing else is important. From now on, your road will be broader and more bumpy. What I can give you as a teacher is the same sentence."
Li Chong was shocked when he heard Master Wang's words.
The teacher must have known his identity, and his heart felt warm.
Yes, no matter what your identity is, the teacher teaches and preaches only because your moral character and qualifications are recognized by the teacher, not because of your own identity.
In the eyes of the teacher, no matter he is a nobleman, a poor person, a trafficker or a pawn, he is just a student of the teacher, a student who teaches and preaches.
Thinking of this, Li Chong looked forward and bowed to salute again.
"Go! Only my students will come to me from now on!"
Looking at Master Wang, Li Chong's eyes were gleaming.
"Chong'er is just the teacher's student, you must remember it in this life!"
Looking at Li Chong turning away, Wang Xiaotong raised his head and muttered to himself.
