Wei Zheng and Chen Yi flew into the palace immediately. Emperor Taizong, Princess Runan, and a group of close civil and military ministers gathered in the main hall, waiting for news from him.
As soon as Wei Zheng landed, he said: "The east gate has been solved. Your Majesty can call Prime Minister Yin's soldiers and horses nearby to guard the city gate."
Only then did Chen Yi think of his grandfather. Just now, Old Wei pulled him and ran so fast that he didn't even have time to say hello.
Emperor Taizong quickly issued an edict, and then asked Wei Zheng: "Everyone is here today. Can you tell us about the situation?"
Wei Zheng looked around. Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Li Jing... they were all brothers who had been together through life and death over the years. Some of these big shots who had become successful and famous, some seemed late, some seemed lazy, but all of them stared at them.
Those hot ones
He looked at Wei Zheng with his eyes. Wei Zheng knew in his heart that as long as Emperor Taizong gave the order, all the people here would do anything, even to die. Wei Zheng sighed in his heart, brothers, please live a good life this time.
I will take care of all the problems.[
Wei Zheng said: "This is a war between Buddhism and Taoism. The practice of Buddhism has always been based on people's beliefs. That is to say, the more incense a Buddha receives, the greater his ability will be. This is exactly how it is.
This led to the Buddha’s attempt to continuously expand; and the Tao
The practice of Taoism is based on the principles of heaven and earth, and the ability comes from the vitality of heaven and earth. Therefore, the different concepts of Buddhism and Taoism will cause conflicts. Now only in the Tang Dynasty, we Taoists still have a place to survive, and apart from the Tang Dynasty,
I’m afraid people only know that there is a Buddha.”
Emperor Taizong looked a little unnatural. He practiced Buddhism in the hope of transcending his soul. Now after listening to Wei Zheng's words, he felt that he had done a stupid thing.
When Chen Yi heard that Wei Zheng was disrespectful towards the Buddha, he said: "Everyone has good thoughts in their hearts. This is the Buddha. I'm afraid the Buddha is not what you said, right?"
Emperor Taizong felt a little more comfortable when he heard Chen Yi say this.
Wei Zheng ignored Chen Yi and continued: "This time, the Buddha used the sacrifice of his disciples to open the door to the bloody battle. This door to the bloody battle is a relic left over from ancient times. It can open up the energy of heaven and earth and open up the connection between the human world and the world of demons.
The gate of the world. When Chang'an City was originally built here, it also had the intention of guarding this gate of bloody battles. The intention of the Buddha is very clear, to use the power of demons to cause trouble in the world, and then let people rebuild their faith."
The more Chen Yi listened, the more frightened he became. The more everyone listened, the more frightened they became.
Wei Zheng added: "This Chang'an rebellion was premeditated by the Buddha Sect. Fulong Luohan opened the east gate of the city gate. Once the demon appears, it is easy to enter and exit. There are holes in the wine cellar of Bingchi Winery, and the door to the bloody battle is opened.
Later, the hole connected with the demon world, and there was also a chicken demon as an internal response. I don’t know how much effort the Buddha Sect spent to set up this situation.”
Emperor Taizong suddenly asked: "Then what can we do?"
Wei Zheng thought about it carefully and decided to tell everything he knew. He said: "Chang'an City has four wine shops, Weiwu, Bingchi, Qixiang, and Luoying. These four wine shops are actually closely related to the fate of Chang'an City."
Everyone found it incredible.
Wei Zheng said: "When the founder of Taoism built the city, he set up a four-image array in the city to represent the heaven, earth, and people, and was used to suppress the bloody battle. The four array eyes were located directly between the four wine shops.
Therefore, it was a wine shop to deceive people. This time at the Bingchi Winery, it was the Buddha Sect who secretly set up a trap inside. When the formation eyes were loose, they used the method of the Buddha's sacrifice to break the Four Symbols Formation and open it.
The Gate of Bloody Battle.”
"Is there any possibility of remedying this matter?" Princess Runan thought for a long time before asking softly.
"The only way now is to seal the magic eye of Bingchi Winery, fight off the demons that appear, and then restart the Four Symbols Formation," Wei Zheng said slowly.
Emperor Taizong looked around at everyone and said in a firm tone: "Wei Zheng is responsible for the general dispatch. Everyone must be controlled by Wei Zheng, including me. The safety of the world depends on our attitude and ability. No one should have any selfish intentions."
Everyone claimed that it was. Chen Yi felt the enthusiasm of this group of people, felt something in his heart, and felt that he had the courage to move forward.
The corners of Wei Zheng's eyes twitched slightly, and he was inexplicably moved. But he knew that he had a heavy task and did not dare to show his emotions. He said to everyone: "I am the only member of the Taoist family left in Chang'an, so I am willing to protect this city with everything I have. You
Princess Nan has studied Taoism with me for many years and has certain combat capabilities, but she is at my side. I also need Xuanzang to be with me. Maybe he is the key to victory or defeat."
Chen Yi didn't expect Wei Zheng to say this at all, and immediately felt that he had suddenly had an effect. Apart from the suddenness, he was even more excited, and his waist straightened a lot.
"Others, lead the Tang army to repel all the invading demons and ghosts."
"yes!"[
Years later, that heroic and fearless battle will always be remembered in the hearts of the people of Chang'an.
The brave Imperial Forest Army, the garrison, the government army, the heroic porters, cooks, migrant workers, the heroic knights of the Tang Dynasty, and the heroic common people of the Tang Dynasty. They all worked together as one, refurbishing their fortifications and equipment, and waiting for the coming enemy. In fact, many of them did not know that they were
They have to face and fight against what kind of force they are, but they work hard without any complaints. When someone gets tired, someone immediately lifts them up, and when someone falls, someone immediately lifts them down, and someone else lifts them up again.
Just because the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty they loved stood on the highest point of the Chang'an city wall just like them.
Li Shimin looked around. Those brave people and the majestic Chang'an were all in his eyes. In the bottom of his heart, ambition arose. Just like what he had experienced before, he was eager to fight and to defend the people he loved and loved him.
.The veterans around him were all old enough to live out their old lives, but none of them flinched. They all gathered around the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, just like they had done before.
Suddenly there was dust in the distance, and an army was approaching. The emperor took a closer look and saw that there were countless little monsters, tigers, leopards, bears, foxes, buffaloes and wild boars... these animals that no one usually paid much attention to had all turned into monsters.
Weapons are coming in droves.
War was like a match dropped into a barrel of kerosene, it broke out, and then spread quickly.
The army of monsters rushed over without making any pause.
Prime Minister Yin shouted, "Longbow." Immediately thousands of longbowmen stood up, bent their bows and nocked arrows, and shot together. Thousands of bows and arrows were drawn into thousands of black lines in the sky, and they plunged into the pile of monsters together. Immediately there were many
The monsters were pinned to the ground by sharp arrow clusters. Many of them lost their lives directly. Some of the longer-lived ones let out shrill screams and struggled desperately. But the monster army seemed not afraid at all and continued to charge forward without fear of death. Yin
The prime minister then asked the longbowmen to shoot arrows. After six rounds of shooting, it was estimated that tens of thousands of monsters were killed and injured in the city, and the longbowmen's arm strength was also exhausted.
The army of monsters had already rushed under the city wall. Prime Minister Yin shouted, and thousands more crossbowmen appeared, shooting arrows at the city wall. Arrows rained down like rain, and more and more monsters died under the city wall. But the monsters that followed were
Stepping on the corpses of his companions, he continued to move forward. The corpses piled up and got higher and higher. They were almost approaching the city tower.
Emperor Taizong suddenly drew out his long sword and shouted, "It's time, God bless the Tang Dynasty, kill all these monsters!" The soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty climbed up the city wall together and used all possible weapons, such as kerosene, rolling stones, and wooden logs, to attack them.
The monsters getting closer and closer attack.
Finally, a monster climbed up the city wall, and the time came for hand-to-hand combat. Monsters did not know life and death, and were so powerful that it often took four or five ordinary sergeants to defeat one monster. The soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty suddenly realized how many enemies they faced.
of strength.
Emperor Taizong roared, rushed up to the tower, and immediately cut off the head of a leopard spirit with a long knife in his hand. His decades of experience in battlefield fighting were vividly demonstrated. The soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty were greatly inspired and drove the monster away.
Tower.
But the monsters soon came again, and the war fell into a stalemate. Soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty continued to fall, and monsters continued to die, but the onslaught of monsters seemed to have no end. The progress of the war situation was not optimistic.
