What Chen Chu said was beyond his understanding.
Originally, the legends of Taoism were just myths.
But the story Chen Chu told already involved fantasy.
In Chen Chu's description, he, Yuan Tiangang, was the master of killing demons and demons.
The image becomes stalwart at once.
He heard the people around him praise him one after another.
"Master Yuan is really amazing!"
"Even the monsters were annihilated by the soul flying he beat!"
"Tomorrow, I'm going to watch and donate some incense for three days."
"I also need to go!"
Yuan Tiangang broke away from Cheng Chubi and the others, stepped forward, stared at Chen Chu dumbfounded, and asked, "Junior brother, you..."
Chen Chu said with a smile: "Brother, don't talk. I did this for our Taoism. You think, there have been too many saints in Confucianism for thousands of years. After Confucius, there are Mencius, Xunzi, Zisi, Dong Zhongshu, etc. Wait, but as for our Taoist sect, since the old man, there has been no leader. In the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were three brothers from the Zhang family, and they were finally found to be liars. Although Ge Hong and Tao Hongjing later, their influence was limited. In 500 years, there were saints. , our Taoist sect, the saint has disappeared for too long, now is the perfect opportunity, don't you want to be that leader?"
army head?
Saint out?
Yuan Tiangang was taken aback by what Chen Chu said, but his heart was warm.
However, he was still a little apprehensive, and said: "But, what kind of Golden Core stage cultivation level did you mention just now, and what is this?"
Chen Chu explained: "This is the cultivation system of our Taoist sect. The levels of practitioners can be divided into: Qi training, bigu, foundation building, Jindan, Yuanying, distraction, fusion, refining emptiness, Mahayana, and transcending robbery. ...Brother, even though you are in the Golden Core stage, you are already very remarkable among mortals, but you have to know that there are green hills outside the mountains, and brothels outside the buildings, and you have to continue to work hard. A master of robbery, that's really extraordinary..."
What?
Yuan Tiangang was stunned.
After taking Chen Chu's words apart, he could understand every word.
But together, he was stunned.
He pondered for a while, then suddenly cupped his hands towards Chen Chu, and said, "Junior brother, what you said today is of great significance, I will go back and read it carefully."
With that said, he hurried away.
Chen Chu patted his chest, finally bluffing Yuan Tiangang.
He turned around and ordered: "Chu Bi, arrange people immediately to pass on all the news I just had, the more people know the better..."
"Yes."
Cheng Chubi left in a hurry.
……
Some people say that when a lie is told a thousand times, it becomes the truth.
Cheng Chubi didn't understand such a profound truth.
He only knew that when he sent many people to publicize Chen Chu's fantasy stories in and around Chang'an City, at first, people didn't believe them, but gradually, more and more people believed them, and many of them believed it. Daoist people, these people firmly believe in this.
After a few days, Cheng Chubi didn't even need to mobilize people. More and more people passed on the news, and they said it clearly. Some people said that I was on the spot and saw Master Yuan Tiangang's actions with my own eyes. The soul of the monster was wiped out.
This is nothing short of a miracle!
In this regard, Cheng Chubi could only shout Niubi!
Because with his brain, he couldn't figure out the key changes.
As far as the word Niubi is concerned, he still learned it from Chen Chu.
……
Chapter 225
At last the door stood up.
Chen Chu directly opened the gate and let people come and watch.
Many people spontaneously came to see this holy stone that can suppress demons.
But after a few days, the taste changed.
Someone actually brought incense, fruit, and big cakes and ran under the boulder to worship.
When Chen Chu heard the news, he was so angry that he asked Cheng Chubi to call a group of guards to guard it. Anyone who dared to worship the boulder would be smashed on it with a sap.
In a word, this holy stone can only be viewed, not worshiped.
The people didn't understand at first, but after being beaten up a few times, they all became honest.
Seeing that more and more people came to visit the huge gate, Chen Chu stared anxiously at the system that had not moved for a long time.
To build a huge mansion that will shock the people of the world and future generations, this task still shows to be completed.
Chen Chu said to himself: "It seems that we have to wait for the entire mansion to be completed!"
……
at the same time.
Royal Palace.
Ganlu Temple.
Changsun Wuji walked in hastily, bowed and said, "Minister, see Your Majesty!"
Li Er waved his hand and asked all the eunuchs and maids around to go out.
In the main hall, only Changsun Wuji and Li Er were left.
Seeing Li Er's solemn face, Changsun Wuji suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Li Er pointed to a wooden stool and said, "Auxiliary machine, sit down."
Changsun Wuji became more and more uneasy, and asked, "Your Majesty, is there any news about my son, Changsun Chong?"
After Changsun Wuji sat down anxiously, Li Ercai said: "Auxiliary machine, there is news from Baiqisi that Xue Rengui and others were found in Shanzhou in the Western Regions a few months ago, but they arrived It was too late, and his whereabouts stopped later, and now, after searching the entire Shanzhou, Xue Rengui and others have also been lost, I suspect that this group of people may have entered Tuyuhun."
Tuyuhun was a small country between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. As a buffer zone between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, its interior was not stable.
Changsun Wuji's complexion changed.
If it's in the territory of Datang, it's okay, at least it's very stable.
But in Tuyuhun, all kinds of bandits are rampant, and Chang Sun Chong's safety is not guaranteed.
Thinking of Changsun Chong's whereabouts unknown, life and death unknown, Changsun Wuji suddenly seemed ten years older.
Li Er asked: "Auxiliary machine, do you blame Chen Chu?"
Changsun Wuji shook his head, and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, to be honest, I have been sending people to investigate this matter quietly, and found that Chen Chu really didn't know about it at all, and I don't know what kind of madness Chong'er is going through. , actually went to the Western Regions with Xue Rengui and others, my minister..."
Having said that, Changsun Wuji stopped talking.
His original intention was to ask Li Er to send someone to Tuyuhun to find Changsun Chong.
But thinking that Tuyuhun is already outside the Tang Dynasty, if a large number of people are sent in, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble.
Changsun Wuji is already an important minister of the court, he can't do such a thing.
So he stopped talking.
But Li Er waved his hand and said: "Auxiliary machine, I understand what you mean, I have ordered Baiqisi to send people to Tuyuhun to investigate, as long as there is news of Changsun Chong, Xue Rengui and others, spread the word as soon as possible. Back to Chang'an... Baiqisi also found out that Xue Rengui and others arrived in Shanzhou after going around from the north. This Xue Rengui is really a genius. After tracing all the way, if this person can return safely, he can be the commander of an army..."
Changsun Wuji said hastily: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are about to get a good general."
Li Er was not very happy, instead he said with a frown: "In the past few days, I suddenly remembered that Chen Chu said that there might be a war between Tubo and Datang. At that time, the mountains were covered by heavy snow. It has been almost April, but the cattle, sheep and war horses promised by the Tubo envoy Senuo Gongzan have not been moved. Do you think it will be like what Chen Chu said, Tubo doesn’t want to give these things at all, it’s already Are you ready for war?"
Changsun Wuji pondered for a while, then said: "Your Majesty, I think that Chen Chu is a bit alarmist. Our Tang Dynasty has strong troops and abundant products, but Tubo is only a small country. Songtsan Gambo cannot use troops against the Tang Dynasty. As for Senuogong, he praised it It's not difficult to understand, although it's almost March in the Tang Dynasty, and the spring is warm, but the terrain in Tubo is high, and I'm afraid it's still very cold at this time, and Senuo Gongzan and his party may just move..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and someone shouted: "The border is urgent, please see Your Majesty."
boom.
The door was hastily opened.
A man in black ran in and came to Li Er, but he staggered and knelt down on the ground, panting and held up a secret letter, saying: "Your Majesty, this is Baiqisi from the border. The urgent report is extremely urgent..."
Li Er and Changsun Wuji's expressions changed at the same time, and they hurriedly got up.
Li Er hurried forward, grabbed the letter, stabbed it open, and read it carefully.
Changsun Wuji's face was pale, and he stood with the desk next to him.
He guessed that there must be news about Chang Sun Chong.
Normally speaking, finding Chong'er is a happy event, and Baiqisi will surely send news to Chang'an slowly.
But now there is an urgent secret letter, which means that something serious must have happened, maybe Chong'er has already...
Changsun Wuji couldn't imagine it.
boom.
I saw Li Er's face was gloomy, holding the letter paper, and punching the table heavily.
Changsun Wuji asked, "Your Majesty, what about my son?"
Changsun Wuji threw the letter to Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji picked it up and looked at it, his eyes widened immediately.
Snapped.
Changsun Wuji couldn't bear it any longer, he slapped the table and said, "It's unreasonable, Tubo, a small state, dares to use troops against the Tang Dynasty..."
Li Er said coldly: "What a Songtsan Gampo, I underestimated him. Before that, I had been guarding against Tubo and deployed our troops in the Anxi area in the north. I thought that Tubo must first defeat Tuyuhun if it wanted to use troops from Shanzhou. , Now it’s all right, Tuyuhun didn’t send out a single soldier, yet he even lent the way to the Tubo people, the wolf’s ambition is unbelievable..."
Sandwiched between Datang and Tubo, Tuyuhun became a natural barrier for Datang, and has always bowed to Datang.
Now, Li Er received information from Baiqisi that the 20 Tubo army quietly appeared in Shanzhou and approached Shanzhou City. The truth is that Tuyuhun borrowed the road to Songtsan Gambo.
Tuyuhun broke the covenant with Datang.
Tubo's sudden dispatch of troops and Tuyuhun's treachery made Li Er feel very angry.
Li Er turned around and shouted to the outside: "Immediately deliver the decree, civil and military ministers of the third rank and above, enter the palace quickly..."
The eunuch was about to leave when Li Er added: "By the way, go and call Chen Chu here."
Changsun Wuji was puzzled and said: "Your Majesty, why did you ask Chen Chu to come here at such a time, isn't Your Majesty worried that he will make trouble?"
Li Er shook his head: "Auxiliary machine, do you remember what I said just now, Chen Chu, this kid, has long expected that the Tubo people would fight..."
Changsun Wuji showed embarrassment on his face, as if he had been slapped across the face.
Just now he swore that Chen Chu was scaremongering, and the news came from the border before a stick of incense passed.
……
Chapter 226 Don't Talk Nonsense at a Young Age
While Chen Chu was still under the covers, someone picked him up.
He just wanted to fight back, but found out that it was Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin was covered in armor, with a serious expression and panting. After picking up Chen Chu, he only said one word: "Let's go!"
Chen Chu asked in confusion, "Where are you going?"
Cheng Yaojin threw Chen Chu's clothes over and said quickly, "Talk while walking!"
Seeing this, Chen Chu walked out while getting dressed.
At the gate of Duke Lu's mansion, there was already a carriage waiting.
After getting into the carriage, Cheng Yaojin ordered: "Go to the palace immediately, hurry up!"
Cheng Yaojin looked at Chen Chu who was still putting on his clothes, and said, "Fifth brother, I'm afraid something serious happened. Just now, someone in the palace delivered an order to let the civil and military ministers of the third rank and above go to the Manna Palace immediately. At the same time, Zuo Wuwei sent me news that there have been changes in the Western Regions... I'm afraid there will be another war."
Chen Chu looked at Cheng Yaojin and asked, "Fourth brother, you seem a little excited?"
Cheng Yaojin laughed: "You're right, old Cheng, I haven't fought a war for a long time. Back then, I was a thieves, a rebel, and a rebel king. Later, I followed His Majesty to fight north and south. After the Tang Dynasty was established, it fought with Tubo for several years, just fighting..."
