Chapter 591: Li Shimin
Chang'an City, Zhuque Street.
As the national master of the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang's residence was naturally not an ordinary place, but was located in this Zhuque Street where every inch of land was worth every fortune.
When Emperor Tang learned that Yuan Tiangang suddenly reborn and was accepted as a disciple by the immortal, Emperor Tang was naturally quite curious about Ye Fan and pointed out that he would visit this mysterious immortal.
Yuan Tiangang also agreed to Emperor Tang’s request.
Just as Yuan Tiangang followed suit and led Emperor Tang to his mansion, a melodious voice sounded.
"A distinguished guest is at home and will be disrespectful."
Li Shimin and Yuan Tiangang were shocked and couldn't help but look at each other.
But the latter quickly stepped forward and said, "Master, I dared to bring Your Majesty here, which has disturbed Master's cultivation."
Just when Yuan Tiangang was worried and thought his master was not going to pay attention to him and others.
After a while, another faint sound came from the door.
"Forget it, forgot, since the current emperor came here in person, I will make an exception and meet him."
"Thank you, Master."
Yuan Tiangang was overjoyed, then turned to look at Emperor Tang who had been neglected for a while, and bowed: "Your Majesty, please."
Li Shimin nodded, but felt a little curious about the master of the previous voice, without any anger at all because of neglect.
Immediately, the two entered the door.
The sight of him was a young Taoist sitting on the cushion, looking at the two of them with a smile.
Seeing this person, Li Shimin was stunned.
As the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin had seen people like crucian carp crossing the river, and there were countless people. When he came, he had imagined in his heart what the legendary "immortal" looked like.
But at this moment, Li Shimin discovered that his previous ideas were so worthless when he was in front of the young Taoist in front of him.
No, it is even one in ten thousand.
"I've seen an immortal."
Subconsciously, Li Shimin bowed and gave a big gift.
"Your Majesty the Human Emperor, you are kind."
Ye Fan didn't mind having a little contact with the other party about this lord of the Tang Dynasty.
After all, he also wanted to know whether Li Shimin in this world was like in history, who still relied on the Xuanwu Gate Incident to kill his brother and seize the throne, and then he took up the position of Emperor Tang.
Seeing Li Shimin's consciousness flashed, all the memories and thoughts of the other party were completely in detail, and were all mastered by Ye Fan.
"really!"
Looking at Li Shimin in front of him, Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh that the trajectory of history was coming. Even in the Journey to the West, the Emperor Tang still killed his brother with his own hands and took the throne.
After learning what he wanted to know, Ye Fan had no intention of continuing to talk to Li Shimin.
However, Ye Fan didn't mind setting up a casual chess to add some confusion to Buddhism.
After all, Buddhism spreads eastward, both in terms of emotion and reason, must pass the level of Li Shimin.
If even Li Shimin had no good feelings for Buddhism, then the spread of Buddhism in the east would probably be hindered.
Moreover, in the original work, the reason why Li Shimin agreed to the East to spread Buddhism was because his soul traveled to the underworld, witnessed all kinds of underworld, and was entangled by the wronged soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe. Only then did he learn about the Mahayana Buddhism from an unknown old monk.
What role does Buddhism play in this is a bit intriguing.
Seeing Ye Fan not speaking for a long time, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel anxious. After all, he came here without hesitation, not as simple as seeing Ye Fan.
"I would like to ask the immortals to give me mercy on me and give me the method of immortality."
"His Majesty the Emperor."
Hearing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but smile and said quietly: "I can naturally give this method of immortality to Your Majesty. However, with Your Majesty's ability, it is probably difficult to cultivate... Unless Your Majesty can give up the position of Emperor Tang."
"Why is this?"
Li Shimin was puzzled and was also secretly distressed.
He seeks the method of immortality, not to take the position of Emperor Tang forever. If he wants to give up the position of Emperor Tang in order to get immortality, what is the point?
"Your Majesty, please listen to me in detail."
Ye Fan shook his head, and he didn't know how Li Shimin thought. If it weren't for the purpose of preventing the Buddhist general Li Shimin from pulling into the chariot, and the other party had someone with the emperor's luck, he would have really had the idea of giving up.
"The Human Emperor cannot practice. This is the iron rule of the Three Realms. It was decided by the Taoist ancestor. After all, the Human Emperor enjoys the fortune of the human race. If he embarks on the path of cultivation, it will be a great hidden danger for both the human race and the three realms."
Ye Fan smiled faintly, looked at Li Shimin's somewhat ugly face, and said quietly: "Your Majesty doesn't want to see it. One day, will it be the target of public criticism?"
When Li Shimin heard this, his heart suddenly became nervous.
He is not a fool either, so he naturally understands the profound meaning of Ye Fan's words.
The Human Emperor is the noble of the Nine Five, and enjoys the fortune of the human race. This is a unique person. If he practices to become an immortal and lives forever, wouldn’t it mean that he will rule the entire human race forever?
Although he had similar fantasies in his heart, Li Shimin also knew that there were many powerful people in the Three Realms, and he could not deal with them, just a little human emperor. I am afraid that as soon as he embarked on the path of cultivation, he would be discovered by others.
At that time, I'm afraid my life will be lost...
"Thank you for your advice."
The hope of immortality was shattered, and Li Shimin sighed, bowed to Ye Fan with some excitement, and felt a desire to leave in his heart.
Since you cannot get the method of immortality, chatting with Ye Fan here will only increase your worries. With a person with a mind like him, he naturally chooses to cut the mess quickly and make a fool of himself without seeing him.
As if he saw Li Shimin’s thoughts, Ye Fan smiled and said lightly: “Your Majesty, wait.”
"I don't know what instructions do the immortals have?" Li Shimin said respectfully.
Although he cannot live forever, Li Shimin also knows that the person in front of him is an existence that he cannot afford to offend him, so he will naturally not lose his etiquette, so as not to cause unhappiness to the other party and cause any trouble for himself.
"I have another method to prolong my life. Although I cannot let Your Majesty become an immortal, I live for more than a hundred years, which is more than enough," Ye Fan said quietly.
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and his mood, which had fallen to the bottom, became excited again.
"The immortal said this...because he was serious?"
"good."
Looking at Li Shimin's excited look, Ye Fan couldn't help but laugh. If he hadn't disappointed the other party in advance, he would have been afraid that a mere way of prolonging life would not be enough to make Li Shimin's attitude.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan said lightly: "Your Majesty, I have another unhappy request."
"Please speak with immortals."
