Li Shimin returned victorious.
I came to pay my respects to Su Chen as soon as possible.
Still at the foot of the mountain, after three bows, Su Chen did not let him continue to bow. He blew a breath directly on the top of the mountain and lifted Li Shimin up.
Li Shimin and a few people close to him soared up through the clouds and mist, and landed steadily at the Hualong Temple on the top of the mountain.
Some other Jinwu Guards and Jinyu Guards were climbing the mountain one after another, but they were stationed on the spot halfway through.
I didn't dare to continue going up.
Mountain top.
Su Chen stood in front of the main hall, under the huge bronze statue, and led his disciples to greet him.
Although he is already a Daluo Jinxian, and the weakest of his disciples are already true immortals, he still has to give the emperor the face he deserves when practicing in the human world.
When Li Shimin and his party settled down, Su Chen stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, Pindao congratulates Your Majesty on your victory and winning a hundred years of peace for the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin laughed, bowed his hands, and even took a step forward, kneeling and kowtow.
Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Xue Rengui, Zhang Shigui, and the old eunuch also quickly knelt down.
Su Chen stepped forward to help him and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so polite, you are the emperor."
Li Shimin smiled and said: "I am the emperor on earth, and you are a deity in heaven. You fell into the world and were neighbors to me. I am honored to be next to you. Not to mention kneeling down and worshiping you day and night is not an exaggeration."
Su Chen stepped out of the way, stretched out his hand to guide us, and said: "Your Majesty, everyone, please come in. The Hualong Temple has been swept away, but I didn't know that Your Majesty came so quickly. I'm sorry for the neglect."
Li Shimin did not dare to be presumptuous, so he followed him and said quickly: "Master Tianshi was joking. I came uninvited and didn't disturb Tianshi. I'm very lucky."
Su Chen sighed secretly in his heart. Li Shimin was more polite and respectful than before. He must have known that he had become Daluo Jinxian.
Indeed.
The reason why Li Shimin was able to end the war so quickly and come back early was because he heard that Su Chen had become a Daluo Golden Immortal, and an immortal told him in a dream that all the disciples around Su Chen had become immortals.
Li Shimin felt that Su Chen could become a Daluo Jinxian and all his disciples could become immortals, so he needed to come back as soon as possible to congratulate him.
Maybe he also has a chance to get some benefits.
Fighting in a war or something like that is a great accomplishment and a matter of honor, but being cared for by an immortal is a real benefit!
He just wants to return home.
Su Chen invited him to the quiet room, but Li Shimin was unwilling to go to the quiet room because there was nothing there. He just pretended not to understand and went to the back mountain.
Su Chen understood what he meant and didn't stop him.
The group of people headed towards the back mountain, and along the way, the back mountain had been decorated in an antique style, like a Jiangnan pavilion.
Although it is not as magnificent as the Royal Palace, it is very elegantly constructed.
After all, it was Yan Liben and Zhu Suiliang who designed it. You must know that the current Daming Palace was also designed by Yan Liben and Zhu Suiliang. Now Yan Liben is already a true immortal, and his vision and ability are even more extraordinary than those of ordinary people.
The mountain behind Hualong Temple he designed is already a fairyland on earth.
They were built based on what Su Chen saw after his trip to Heaven and Lishan Qingcheng Mountain, as well as some buildings outside the Nantian Gate he saw with his clairvoyance. After talking to him about it, he made some slight modifications.
It has to be said that the reconstruction of the back mountain was very successful, drawing on the strengths of many others.
The pavilions and pavilions make people feel enchanted.
The rockery and water, as well as fairy medicine, sacred trees and flowers, flowers, plants and trees are all things of the fairy family. The divine power radiated makes the back mountain a blessed place in the cave.
Not only that, there are also some birds and animals that are also kept in captivity in the back mountains.
They were captured by Li Bai and Su Ao from famous mountains and rivers. They were some spiritual auspicious beasts. After Sun Simiao fed them some elixirs, they opened up their spiritual wisdom and gained strength beyond mortal immortals.
After being trained by Yun Zhongjun and Huo Wuhong, it has become an auspicious beast guarding the back mountain, but it is managed and fed by the mountain god Xiong Zhu.
at this time.
Li Shimin saw several cranes flying above the lake in the back mountain, and there were some big snakes and turtles poking their heads in the water.
There are lions, elephants, wolves, tigers and leopards on the shore, all of which are larger than ordinary animals and more intelligent.
I didn't see them arguing, just playing by the water.
There were also tigers and lions sitting at the stone table playing chess like humans, and a blue bird and a big snake were drinking.
Li Shimin and others were dumbfounded.
How did the back mountain, which was not that big at the beginning, become so big and transformed into a fairyland on earth?
Li Shimin was speechless for a long time, until he was taken to an attic, where he could see most of the scenery of the back mountain.
The attic is only the second floor, and naughty birds occasionally fly by outside the building.
The old eunuch's knowledge was relatively shallow and he exclaimed in surprise: "It's really a fairyland on earth. This, this, I will have no regrets if I die here."
After he finished speaking, he noticed everyone looking at him and realized that he had said the wrong thing.
He shouldn't have taken away Li Shimin's right to speak first.
Kneel down quickly and apologize.
Li Shimin said: "It's okay, I don't blame you, I was also shocked."
Then he was a little excited and confused, and said: "If I can live in this fairyland on earth, I may be able to live a hundred years."
Su Chen said: "Your Majesty, if you like, you can come as a guest."
Li Shimin was overjoyed and quickly thanked him, "That's really disturbing."
Su Chen smiled and shook his head. These are just the tip of the iceberg in the back mountain. For Li Shimin to play with occasionally, it can also establish his status as the Hualong Temple.
Anyway, it won't affect Houshan's secrets.
In fact, Yunyuan Mountain has been transformed.
With Su Chen's agreement, Xiong Yan and other disciples moved to many unknown mountains, making Yunyuan Mountain more than ten times bigger than before.
After the development of the back mountain, the land area was hundreds of times larger than before. After Yan Liben's transformation, all aspects were utilized.
It is divided into [Wangtian Tower] at this time, [Mirror Moon Lake] where birds and animals are playing in the distance, [Hundred Turns Corridor] along the way, [Senlan Secret Realm] with many sacred trees, and the magical
[Hundred Garden] with many flowers, celestial beings and grasses.
The [Hundred Birds' House] where birds live, and the paradise where animals play [The Lost Ruins].
These are the places in the back mountain that outsiders can see. They are all fairyland on earth, filled with fairy spirit. Practicing here is ten thousand times better than outside!
Because Su Chen used formations to build the Spirit Gathering Formation and used magic weapons to suppress the various places. He had many magic weapons and powerful formations, so naturally the immortal power here was not inferior to that in the sky.
Of course.
There is also a forbidden area in the back mountain, which is a place that guests cannot reach.
It was Su Chen's treasure house where he stored magical medicines and various magic treasures, as well as the innate where precious magical medicines were planted, and the cave he arranged for his disciples to practice.
The divine power inside is more than ten times stronger than outside. It is the last pure land of Yunyuan Mountain.
Li Shimin was on the Wangtian Tower, watching the various changes in the back mountain, and was deeply moved.
Hualong Temple quickly served tea and fruit products, all of which were immortal products that the emperor had never tasted before. Li Shimin and others were dumbfounded.
Drink three cups of tea and eat three rounds of fruit.
Su Chen said: "Your Majesty has returned triumphantly and came here specially. I am very grateful, but I guess your Majesty didn't come here specifically for this, right?!"
Li Shimin said: "It is indeed because of my triumphant victory and my gratitude for Master Tianshi's help that I came here to report the good news and express my thanks."
Su Chen nodded slightly, he had indeed helped a lot.
First of all, the internal affairs were stabilized, allowing Li Shimin to go on a personal expedition without any worries.
Secondly, he helped him find Xue Rengui.
In short, without him, Li Shimin could defeat Goguryeo, but it would have to be postponed for at least five years, and he would be dragged on the battlefield for many years. In the end, he would end up depressed, without being able to win completely!
After Li Shimin thanked him, he took another sip of tea and felt that the tea here tasted much better than before.
He hadn't tasted such delicious food in more than two years, and he missed it very much.
Picking up a piece of apricot blossom cake and taking a bite, Li Shimin was about to cry.
In the bitterly cold place outside the Great Wall, people had to wear cotton-padded jackets in summer. It was so rare to have such delicious food that he almost forgot his taste buds' memory of delicious food.
"I have been fighting in Mobei for two years and three months, and I almost forgot about my Tang Dynasty treasures and many delicacies in the world."
Su Chen smiled and said, "If your Majesty likes it, just eat more."
After Li Shimin ate a few pieces, he asked Qin Qiong and others to eat too. Then he clapped his hands, sat upright, and considered his words.
"Master Tianshi, you are right. I am not here just to say thank you. In fact, I still have something to ask."
Su Chen smiled, he had expected it.
He nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty, what do you want me to ask you?"
Li Shimin said: "I have won a great victory and conquered the capital of Goguryeo. Now there are only some stubborn princes left, but with Hou Junji and others cleaning up, given time, I will be able to completely destroy Goguryeo."
Su Chen cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, and please forgive the ordinary people of Goguryeo when the time comes."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "The Heavenly Master has a kind heart, and I am not a cruel king. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not harm the people of Goguryeo."
Then he continued: "In this way, I have put down the foreign troubles and the internal affairs are in order. However, when I was in Mobei, I met an old monk who said that my Tang Dynasty was still in turmoil, so I really couldn't figure it out.
What's going on?"
The old eunuch added: "And on the way back from Mobei, His Majesty often had nightmares."
Su Chen nodded and said, "So, what do you want to ask your Majesty about?!"
Li Shimin pursed his lips and said: "My personal safety is nothing, but I have done so much, but some eminent monks think that the Tang Dynasty is in turmoil. I really can't understand it."
"Therefore, I intend to ask about the future of the Tang Dynasty."
Su Chen said: "The future of the Tang Dynasty is too vague, I'm afraid it's difficult to calculate."
"Then I just ask, what will be the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty in the next ten years? Is it really in a precarious situation?!"
Su Chen nodded, then took out the bamboo tube and placed it on the table in front of Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, as usual, let's draw lots first!"
Li Shimin was already familiar with the tricks. He picked up the bamboo tube and looked at it for a long time without shaking it. Instead, he reached out and pulled out one without looking at it, and handed it to Su Chen.
"I will leave the future of the Tang Dynasty to the Heavenly Master to see!"
