The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 154: The Name of Lijie, the Yonghui Reign

Tianzhu volcano, a small house in the bamboo forest.

Twenty-three years passed in a flash.

"Twenty-three years... Chunfeng, you have been guarding for twenty-three years?"

Liang Yue looked at Li Chunfeng, feeling an unclear feeling in his heart.

I am wasting my time because that is the nature of the Corpse Reincarnation Immortal.

Li Chunfeng was just an ordinary man, and twenty-three years was almost one-fifth of his life.

Li Chunfeng, with messy hair and beard and simple clothes, said nonchalantly, "I went out once ten years ago and came back three days later."

"Why is that? I have been in seclusion for many years and do not need anyone to protect me."

"There is no place for me to go, no matter where I am, I am the same."

Li Chunfeng is pessimistic.

When a warrior breaks through to the Great Innate Stage, he has basically reached the top.

He traveled from south to north, visiting famous masters along the way, trying to find a new way of martial arts.

Unfortunately, he traveled all over the world, wasted his time, and made no progress in his cultivation. He became disheartened and wanted to retire to the countryside.

Not everyone is greedy for pleasure. For Li Chunfeng, it doesn't matter where he lives in seclusion. At least there is a little hope following the master.

"Thanks a lot."

Liang Yue understood their despair.

He should have been a genius of the human race, but he was trapped in shallow water. He had seen this despair in Ge Hong and Bao Liang.

Baiyun Imperial Township is a place that provides comfort to everyone.

Li Chunfeng suddenly asked: "Grandmaster, is there any realm above the Great Innate Realm?"

“There may be no realm above the Great Innate Realm, because there are no conditions for cultivation in this world.”

After breaking through the Sun-Wandering God realm, the quality of his soul was greatly improved, and Liang Yue finally had a new idea.

Above the Great Innate Realm, it can be called the True Martial Realm.

From acquired to innate, [gas] changes into [water flow].

This state is where the inner force transforms into [ice], something similar to the inner elixir.

To achieve this condition, one needs spiritual energy and a strong soul.

The human immortal martial arts do not require much spiritual energy, and perhaps in the future there will be higher quality exotic flowers and plants to replace the spiritual energy.

The second type of soul quality, without true qi or a large amount of spiritual energy to cleanse, can only hope to be gifted.

Hearing Liang Yue's explanation, Li Chunfeng gave a bitter smile as expected.

"When Jiejiao disciples are reincarnated, there will be a broader future. As for the present... just enjoy it first."

Li Chunfeng exhaled a breath of turbid air, as if to spit out the distracting thoughts in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "That's fine, sixty-seven years old is still young."

The ancestor is Li Chunfeng’s own hope. What is the ancestor’s hope?

Liang Yue returned underground and put the fire demon's corpse into the mountain ghost jade pendant.

Wave your hand and summon the White Cloud Emperor's hometown.

"Chunfeng, go in."

Wow!
The two leapt into the clouds.

Li Chunfeng kept his feet on the ground and looked around.

Baiyun Imperial Township is even more magnificent than it was many years ago.

Mountains, rivers, hills and forests.

The bodhi tree in the center casts a shade that extends for miles.

Liang Yue secluded himself for twenty-three years, and the small world grew to eighty square kilometers.

"A good place, suitable for the afterlife."

Li Chunfeng looked under the Bodhi tree and saw the man under the Bodhi tree. He exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian? Grandmaster, is Tongtian a disciple of Jiejiao?"

"No."

"Why..."

The hazy illusion on the master's face dissipated, revealing a face with black and white magic patterns, which looked exactly like Tongtian.

Li Chunfeng seemed to understand something.

"That's right. I am Tongtian. Tongtian is the incarnation of Lingbao Zhenjun who came down to earth to experience tribulations. When you see Tongtian in the future, you can address him as an equal."

The longer he lives, the less Liang Yue cares about seniority.

For more than a thousand years in the future, if there is no one to drink and watch opera with, wouldn’t life be depressing?
"A body that has experienced many calamities." Li Chunfeng murmured to himself, "Grandmaster, I also want to change my name and live my life again. It is time for "Li Chunfeng" to die. I hope the Grandmaster will give me a name."

Liang Yue looked at Li Chunfeng's slovenly appearance and suddenly smiled and said, "Let's call him Tieguai Li, and his nickname is Donghua."

"Iron Crutch Li... that's fine too."

Li Chunfeng broke off a branch and pretended to limp.

"Li Tieguai, Li Tieguai, your kung fu is not yet complete, so what else can you be but a cripple?"

Baiyundixiang flew to Datang. In the cave, Liang Yue returned to his physical body, and the two called each other fellow Taoists.

Afterwards, Liang Yue released the Fire Demon's physical body and refined it with his true Qi.

Wow!
The heat hits my face and the flames are bright red.

With the fire demon as the center, a pool of fire appeared within a radius of ten feet.

Liang Yue thought for a moment, then took out a fist-sized white jade bead, with the Huodou bloodline sealed inside the bead.

After thinking for a while, he threw the Samsara Pill into the fire.

Now he is in the state of wandering the gods day and night, and can control the evil beasts.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, where are we going?" Liang Yue is currently in a physical body, so he is called Tongtian.

“Stop and go.”

After that, the Taoist Master Tongtian appeared again in the world, and this time he was accompanied by Li Tieguai.

The two traveled along the way, occasionally playing magic tricks, punishing evil and promoting good, and left a reputation as the manifestation of gods in the local area.

…………

Twenty-three years have passed, and a new generation has emerged on earth.

The time came to the 670th year of Zhenguan ( AD).

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and Khan finally followed his father Li Yuan's example and became the Supreme Emperor.

Chang'an City, suburban altar.

"Heaven and earth are equal, yet I am the only one who admires them; I stand at the purple altar, seeking their path..."

Li Chengqian, 51 years old at the time, wore the emperor's twelve-tassel crown on his head, and looked solemn and meticulous.

After years of experience, Li Chengqian has become a qualified emperor.

The transfer of power was smooth and uneventful.

Five years ago, Li Shimin gave up power due to a headache, and Li Chengqian became the actual ruler of the Tang Dynasty.

"Reign name...Yonghui."

The Zhenguan period ended and the Kaiyuan period arrived.

Li Chengqian climbed the Temple of Heaven and looked into the distance.

It’s a new pattern again.

The three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Uighur and Tubo rose to power.

There are also martial arts battles between countries.

The current situation is complicated and we must not be careless. We must be vigilant day and night to cope with the new situation.

"Why do barbarians always appear on the borders of great nations? It seems that I am not virtuous enough."

In the Taiji Hall, Li Chengqian discusses the current situation with his confidant Di Renjie.

"I intend to use my status as the Heavenly Khan to befriend them, order the Hu chieftains from the border areas to send hostages to Chang'an, teach the princes of the Hu chieftains Chinese law, and then cultivate their aristocratic character, creating a gap between them and their tribesmen."

Important technologies cannot flow out, but monks, titles, ranks, Taoists, and temples can be as many as desired.

These Taoists can also draw maps of the grassland, understand the water and grass, grazing routes, population, and the situation of each tribe, etc.

If the Hu people rebel in the future, it will be convenient to plow the court.

"What a good plan! Your Majesty is wise!" Di Renjie exclaimed sincerely.

This is an open conspiracy. It seems to help the Hu people, but in fact it will divide them infinitely.

"This is a strategy proposed by an old friend."

"Who is the master?"

"Master Tongtian!"

Li Chengqian looked far into the distance.

I wonder where my old friend is?

Ci'en Temple, Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

The nine-story tower is located in the west courtyard of Ci'en Temple.

The famous Master Xuanzang translated Buddhist scriptures here.

Eighteen years have passed since Xuanzang returned. During these eighteen years, Xuanzang translated Mahayana Buddhism and taught thousands of disciples.

"But...why is it different?"

Although Mahayana Buddhism returned to China, the world of peace and happiness for the people that Xuanzang imagined did not come true.

"If Lingbao Patriarch were here, he would be able to resolve my confusion."

The Lingbao Patriarch has been in seclusion for twenty years, and no one knows when he will come out.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Xuanzang, are you doing well these days?"
