The Strongest Daoist in the Heavens

Chapter 234 Convincing Li Shimin to come from the magic ax of heaven

In the mythical world of Journey to the West and Conquering Demons, the ones who can get the most luck are naturally things related to gods and demons, such as Journey to the West and eradicating the top ten demons.There are also battles that took place in ancient times, such as the battle for the protagonists of heaven and earth between the monster race and the human race, the battle for the dominance of the three realms between the god race and the demon race, and even when Monkey King attacked the Heavenly Court, the participants were able to obtain a lot of luck blessings.

Compared with these, the unification of secular dynasties, as well as the small-scale transmission of martial arts and the establishment of influence, are no longer worth mentioning.

It's just that no matter how big or small the merit and luck are, they are all luck after all.

If there is a chance to get it, there is no reason not to refuse it. Anyway, Li He is not rich enough to give up those luck.

Therefore, not only did he think about helping Li Shimin expand his territory, but he even thought about the plan of preaching and spreading martial arts. When Huo Huo sharpened his sword and wanted to take over the Central Plains, he couldn't justify not doing something.

Even if there is a healthy competition, you have to fight, at least to intercept a little luck, right?

As for how to fight, martial arts is one of Li He's trump cards.

Immortal Dao, especially the mentality and concept of dealing with things of pure Taoists, doomed Daoism to not be a very aggressive school. Even if it always occupies a place at the highest level, it is still the biggest one, and the decline of the middle and lower levels is still inevitable.

Li He can't go against this general trend to develop Taoism, that's unrealistic, the Patriarch of Sanqing is not in a hurry, why should he be in a hurry?
But in the heavens and worlds, do Buddhism, Jesus, and the Lord really occupy the mainstream?
nothing.

There is only one biggest mainstream in the heavens and worlds, and that is technology, and outside of this "biggest", the only thing that can compete with it is fantasy, at least in the heavens and worlds that Li He walks in today.And the foundation of fantasy is the combination of martial arts and immortality, and the two are derived.

Ordinary warriors are not as good as immortal cultivators because their strength is too rough, but high-end fantasy-level warriors are not as good as immortal cultivators.

They understand the law of heaven and earth, and understand the way of gods, and they have great power. Almost every one of them is equivalent to Sun Wukong, Erlang God and other figures who use force to prove the way. The ultimate level is even comparable to using force to prove the way. It is unmatched by Buddhism and Jesus.

Immortals and martial arts are juxtaposed, leading systems such as magic, battle qi, and Buddhism. This whole is the entire mysterious side.

And what Li He wanted to set up in Datang to deal with Buddhism was Xuanhuan.

To be precise, it is a basic fantasy. First try a little bit in the world of subduing demons. If it works, in the future, in the real world of Journey to the West, you will have a fight with those big Luo Jinxians and even quasi-sages... It’s far away, let’s talk about Li He, After he convened a meeting with everyone, he immediately went to Li Shimin's place and talked about "the earth is round".

When he saw the globe at first, Li Shimin's reaction was a little confused. When he saw the Tang Dynasty on it and the outlines of the surrounding areas, his confusion turned into confusion again.

"This is, a map?" Li Shimin asked.

Li He nodded and said, "That's right, this is the world, to be precise, the map of the entire land."

"A map of the whole earth?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and said, "But this, why is it so weird? Didn't it mean that the sky was round at the beginning of the sky, and after the prehistoric evolution, the sky became like a bamboo hat and the ground was like a plate?" ? Why is your map a round ball?"

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and then said: "Besides, my Tang Dynasty has a vast land, abundant resources, and a large population. It is the center of the world. Why is it only so big?"

After speaking, he gestured to the map of Tang Dynasty on the globe.

Even with Li Shimin's city mansion, it is somewhat unacceptable that his Tang Dynasty is only so small.

Anyway, it's a bit too small to put on a globe.

How can there be half of all the earth, is it normal?Such a small point, not even one tenth of it!
"Well, how should I put it, about the earth, the gods will not tell the mortals, because the world of the gods is bigger, it is not a 'ball', but a universe composed of hundreds of millions of balls." Li He said : "In ancient times, the scope of human activities was very small, so they thought that the earth was square and the sky was semicircular. But as the scope of activities increased, they found that the earth had a slope, so there was a 'sky like a bamboo hat and ground like a plate'. However, if the scope of activities is wider, you will find that the sky is so big that human power cannot be measured at all. It is neither a semicircle nor a bamboo hat. The earth is a sphere, facing the sky 360 degrees, and is called wrapped in it."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's face was full of novelty, which made him feel incredible.

However, the focus of his attention was not here, and he quickly asked: "Then Datang, is it really so small?"

"It's really that small. In addition, Datang is not the center of the world." Li He pointed to the South Pole and the North Pole, and said: "The real center of the world is these two uninhabited places. One is called 'South Pole', One is called 'North Pole.'"

Regarding this, Li Shimin frowned and said, "If I want to fight from the South Pole to the North Pole, and include both poles of the world into my territory, how long will I have to march?"

"This, let the poor do the math." Li He pondered for a moment, and said: "There is a saying that 'sitting on the ground travels [-] miles a day', that is the length of one week of the earth, from the South Pole to the North Pole, let's count half, that is Forty thousand miles! According to the speed of marching forty miles a day, it will take about a thousand days, which is about three years. This is not counting the detours, and the ocean that cannot be marched directly. If you add food, grass and supplies, and The overall progress of the necessary materials for survival in the polar regions will be many times slower, probably, the most optimistic will take ten years!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin's originally excited heart immediately cooled down.

It will take ten years in the past alone. After that back and forth, wouldn't I be gone?
Besides, after 20 years back and forth, how many soldiers can hold on?
You know, in this era, the average life expectancy is only over 30, 40 years old is considered a long life, and after 50 years old is called "knowing the destiny", in short, it is the age of waiting to die, and the entire Tang Dynasty can't find it if it is over 20 years old. How much out ... in this case, [-] years of marching?
That doesn't exist.

For such a long time, even if you don't die of old age, your heart will change.

"However, that is for others. If Pindao wants to go there, he only needs one step to reach the South Pole, and another step to return to the North Pole. He can bring the ice that has not melted in the South Pole for hundreds of millions of years to Datang. Come to enjoy the cool, or you can go to the North Pole to catch two big fat bears that are alive and kicking, and ask a famous chef in Chang'an to make bear paws and taste delicious." Li He smiled and said: "That's because Pindao has thaumaturgy and can create space. The gate connects the two distant lands together. Today, Pindao is here to dedicate this thaumaturgy to His Majesty and help His Majesty dominate the entire 'earth'!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin's face changed immediately.

"Can this technique be passed on to mortals?" he asked.

"No, but this technique can create a 'gate of space' for mortals to use." Li He said: "In addition, Pindao also has a 'metaphysics mobile phone', which allows mortals to pass through it for thousands of miles. Communicate without delaying any fighters!"

At this point, Li Shimin's expression changed again, and he lost any expression, making it impossible for Li He to see clearly what he was thinking.

However, no matter what Li Shimin was thinking, it didn't matter.

The important thing is that it is impossible for Li Shimin to reject these two weapons of war—if it were the mentally retarded emperors of the Song Dynasty, they might want to kill Li He, and then let the two weapons disappear so as not to threaten his rule, but Li Shimin absolutely Don't think that way.

Since a thing can appear, if it can be in Zhang San's hands, it can also be in Li Si's hands. Wang Wu might be able to do it, but Zhang Er Mazi wouldn't be able to, and he might figure it out by himself.

All in all, it is a dangerous thing, no matter how you suppress it, it is futile and you can only control it yourself.

The generals of the Song Dynasty devoured the land they won, so they deliberately guarded against the warriors and tried their best to lower the status of the warriors, thinking that there would be no rebellion.But the fact is completely the opposite. I chopped off my hands because I was afraid of having germs on my hands. When others hit me, I was powerless to parry, let alone fight back.

Similar dynasties, as well as the Qing Dynasty, deliberately suppressed the firecrackers and cannons that had begun to develop in the Ming Dynasty because they were afraid that someone would use them to rebel against them. As a result, hundreds of years later, they were bombarded by foreigners with artillery fire.

There is a rule, that is, when the dynasty was still in existence, it was bullied by foreigners, and it was full of thoughts of "there are always troublesome people who want to harm me", suppressing this and suppressing that.

However, some dynasties can decline and the imperial power can be sidelined, but as long as there is still a breath, they will not allow "outsiders" to bully them. The Tang Dynasty is a typical example: Li Shimin will not suppress warriors, and will not allow others to rebel because he is afraid of rebellion. Your own army will no longer develop sharp weapons, let alone let something never appear just because it is dangerous.

Instead, he would think, grasp it, and turn the danger into his own strength.

Also understand this truth, there is also Taizu, who sells iron to make nuclear weapons... It's far away.

All in all, Li Shimin's character is doomed, he can't refuse Li He, and he won't have the idea of ​​killing people, because Li He is going to offer him a "sharp weapon".

"By the way, Pindao came here this time, and there is a third treasure that I want to present to His Majesty." Li He said again.

"What baby?" Li Shimin asked.

"Taijiquan, a martial art evolved from Taoism's yin and yang gossip, does not require hard work or talent. As long as you persist in daily practice, you can prolong your life and even live a hundred years." Li He smiled and said: "Its biggest advantage is that it is suitable for all ages and all people can practice it, but it does not have too much offensive power. The imperial court can spread Tai Chi to the world, so that the life expectancy of the people of the Tang Dynasty will be increased, and people who would have died at the age of 40 or [-] , live to seventy or eighty, or even a hundred years old!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin's expression changed again, and he asked, "I can do it too?"

"Of course." Li He nodded.

The biggest difference between martial arts and cultivating immortals is that emperors can also practice without any negative effects.

Of course, if you are lucky and follow the way of the emperor, it is better to cultivate immortals.

But for Li Shimin, it's better to practice martial arts, don't think about longevity.

There is the Jade Emperor in this world, and other emperors want to live forever?If you don't wake up, you can wipe your neck and sleep more!
"Then what are you asking for?" Li Shimin was not overwhelmed by joy, but calmly questioned Li He.

He is not the kind of emperor who thinks that he is the king of the sky. He deeply understands that everyone has their own desires. There is absolutely no reason for loyalty. People who seem to have no desires on the surface actually have shady pursuits!
"Your Majesty's position as a national teacher, the merits of slaying demons and eliminating demons, and the great wish of spreading martial arts to the world... Generally speaking, there is only one thing that the poor have in mind, and practice." Li He said.

Hearing this, Li Shimin looked at him, then at the direction of the ancestral hall where the "Taoist" was enshrined, and nodded slightly.

He believed in Li He, because Li He's pursuit was not younger or simpler than his.

……

In the spring of the third year of Zhenguan, when the disaster had just stabilized, Li Shimin suddenly summoned craftsmen from all over the country to recruit labor and spend a lot of money to build the "Tianshitang".

Tianshitang regards "Li Er" as its ancestor, but it does enshrine the three "titled celestial masters" Tiancanjiao, Wuxingquan and Kongkong Gongzi.In addition, what is even more peculiar is that it is said that the "Tianshitang" located in various places are all connected. If you enter from one Tianshitang, you can go out from any Tianshitang, even if it spans thousands of miles.

However, ordinary people can only walk in the outer hall, and only celestial masters who really understand magic can enter the inner hall.

Ordinary people had no chance to find out, they could only see a celestial master coming out of it, and then went back after catching the monsters, and then did not come out, and then appeared in other places.

This confirms the magic of Tianshitang, but it also makes the common people yearn for it even more.

It even indirectly increased the number of practitioners...

"Headquarters Headquarters, I'm Young Master Kong, calling for support, calling for support." At the junction of Flame Mountain and Middle Earth in the Western Regions, Young Master Kong hid behind a stone and said with a metaphysics mobile phone: "I found what we have been looking for all this time." Hanba', that is the headless general, but my maid who carried the sedan chair couldn't run as fast as his horse, and couldn't catch up at all. After running for a long time, I lost my temper. Now I was thrown by them on the Flame Mountain, because I couldn't use it because of the injury Fei Jian, send someone to support me, the sooner the better."

Hearing this, everyone in the Tianshitang headquarters showed a confused expression.

Shente's maidservant can't run as fast as a horse, and Shente's injury from falling, probably she has never been injured before, right?

"This is the headquarters of Tianshitang. We are already organizing the siege, but the fastest support will take a while. At this time, the only one who can provide immediate support is Tianshi Chen Xuanzang..." said Ms. Duan, who works as a part-time receptionist to earn extra money , but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mr. Kongkong, who refused, "Forget it for Chen Xuanzang, the headless general has recently switched to an axe, so one size bigger, he can kill him in one blow!"

After speaking, he used spells to transmit a picture of "Headless Horseman with Giant Axe".

Immediately, Li He in the crowd changed his face.

"This is the magic ax used by the bull demon king to attack the sky against the Jade Emperor? How did it fall into the hands of the headless general?" Li He thought in his heart, "I'm afraid no one in the three realms doesn't know how dangerous that thing is. Falling into the hands of the headless general... no, could it be, was it intentional?"

The ax of the Bull Demon King should have fallen into the hands of the Jade Emperor because he failed to attack the sky.

With the degree of danger of that thing, it is almost impossible to escape, unless the Jade Emperor himself deliberately throws it out from the heaven!
