I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

This person is proficient in metaphysics, and can judge good and bad according to the sound of the wind and the direction of the wind, and he is also proficient in physiognomy, six ren and five elements, etc.

In fact, Yuan Tiangang had already seen that the longevity of the eldest grandson empress was not long, but he did not dare to say it in front of the emperor, because he knew that the emperor loved the empress very much, if he told the truth, the emperor might be furious.

But now, he found that Empress Changsun's appearance had undergone an astonishing change, and her life expectancy had been greatly extended, not like before.

This shows that the root cause of her disease has been completely eliminated.

However, Yuan Tiangang knew very well that the queen's illness was fate, and it was impossible to cure it only by medical skills.

The only possibility is... her fate has changed!

Shocked, Yuan Tiangang hurriedly approached Emperor Taizong for a secret discussion.

"Does Your Majesty know the origins of Mr. Gu and Miss Bai?"

Emperor Taizong couldn't help raising his brows: "Oh? Judging from Aiqing's tone, he seems to know something?"

"Your Majesty, at this point, there is one thing that I need to announce first, and that is the condition of the empress...

Before this, I have never dared to tell His Majesty, because I was afraid that His Majesty would find it difficult to accept it. "

"The Queen's illness? Is there anything Ai Qing dare not disclose?"

"Actually, before, I have already seen that your mother's life...is not long, that is to say, your mother's illness is fate, which is why it has not been cured.

But now, all this has changed suddenly, the root of the empress's disease has been cured, and her life expectancy has greatly increased...

This means an astonishing event, there is a master secretly for the empress... to change her fate against the sky! "

"Change your life against the sky?"

Emperor Taizong couldn't help but exclaimed.

"That's right!" Yuan Tiangang nodded solemnly: "I dare to guarantee it with my life!"

"This..." Emperor Taizong was stunned for a long time, and murmured: "No wonder, no wonder Miss Bai asked me to accumulate good fortune for the queen..."

"A lot of good fortune? That's right, that's right..." Yuan Tiangang sighed: "Sure enough, he is a master! Changing one's fate against the sky is a matter that violates the law of reincarnation, but if the fortune is enough, it can also be offset. Merits and demerits."

"Aiqing, there really is such an expert in the world who can change people's lives against the sky?"

"Your Majesty, if you want to change your fate against the heavens, you can actually change your fate. However, how can ordinary people change the fate of the empress and empress?

Therefore, I boldly guessed that Mr. Gu and Miss Bai were probably descended from immortals. "

Emperor Taizong was shocked: "Are they... immortals?"

"That's right, and it's not an ordinary fairy. After all, the empress's fate is extraordinary, and ordinary immortals cannot change it."

"Ai Qing is right... Then, what is their purpose in doing this?"

"I don't dare to speculate, but I believe it is a good thing. Your Majesty need not worry."

"Then...how should I treat him in the future?" Emperor Taizong couldn't help asking.

"Since the other party doesn't want to disclose their identity, I think they have their reasons. Therefore, I think that your majesty doesn't need to reveal it. How you treated it before, you will treat it in the future."

"Aiqing, no matter what, the two of them changed the fate of the empress against the heavens and increased the fate of life. This is a great kindness.

I have to be paid heavily for love and reason. Ai Qing thinks, how should I be rewarded? "

"This..." Yuan Tiangang pondered for a while: "According to Mr. Gu's previous practice, it must also have the meaning of assisting His Majesty in revitalizing the Tang Dynasty.

Since Mr. Gu doesn't want to be an official in the court, how about... conferring a title? "

Upon hearing this, Emperor Taizong's eyes lit up: "That's right, Aiqing's proposal is very good!"

Jue is just a title, one does not need to be an official in the court, but it is much more honorable than the status of guest minister.

Afterwards, Emperor Taizong discussed with Wei Zheng and other important officials in the court, and finally decided to confer Gu Ming as a marquis, and at the same time bestowed a mansion, gold and silver, silk, servants, fertile land, etc.

Of course, what Yuan Tiangang said was regarded as a secret, and only the emperor and his ministers knew about it, and Emperor Taizong, including Empress Changsun, did not reveal anything.

Gu Ming was a little surprised by this knighthood.

But after thinking about it, maybe someone in the palace guessed his background, so the emperor Taizong secretly offered him a title.

It's nothing to get excited about, but the benefits are real.

With the status of Lord Hou, it is more conducive to the spread of reputation, and it is more conducive to the implementation and development of the plan.

At the beginning, many ministers in the court were opposed to Emperor Taizong's ennobling of Gu Ming.

Because they think that although Gu Ming is talented, but he soars into the sky all of a sudden, it is inevitable to make people dissatisfied.

But Gu Ming's subsequent performance made everyone shut up obediently.

First of all, the compilation of documents he proposed before has won the support of the vast majority of ministers, who believe that this is indeed a matter of great benefit.

After that, Gu Ming published two books in a row, one of poetry and one of Confucianism.

These two books caused a sensation shortly after their release...

At the same time, Gu Ming accepted some disciples one after another, and officially launched his plan to promote Confucianism in the world of Journey to the West.

During this period, I finally saw the famous "Brother Yu" Tang Seng in the palace.

Now that he met Tang Seng, Gu Ming naturally had to chat with him...

Before you know it, another year has passed.

On this day, Gu Ming finally heard the news that Master Xuanzang was entrusted by Emperor Taizong to travel across mountains and rivers to the Western Paradise to worship the Tathagata Buddha in order to obtain the scriptures and enlighten the world.

"This day has finally come."

Gu Ming couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Bai Suzhen couldn't help asking: "Young master, what are you going to do? Is it possible to escort that Tang monk all the way to the west?"

"Why not? It's fun along the way..."

"But the young master has taken in dozens of disciples, so you can't leave them behind?"

Gu Ming smiled and said: "As the saying goes, the master brings in the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual. The disciples I have selected are all talented people, and they don't need constant guidance.

Moreover, even if we go to Xitian together, we can come back at any time on the way, and the flight will not be too long. "

"The son is right, so... can Suzhen go with the son?"

Gu Ming said with a serious face: "Of course, I can't leave you alone in Chang'an, besides, this trip is also a rare opportunity to experience, how can I miss it?"

A few more days later, Tang Seng and his party finally left Chang'an City in mighty way under the personal farewell of Emperor Taizong, and headed west along the official road.

Gu Ming didn't accompany them, anyway, this group of people walked slowly, let's wait for them to leave the customs first.

It also happened to take advantage of this time to arrange some matters, explain to a group of disciples, and prepared a lot of books.

Apart from the traditional Confucian classics, many of these books were written by Gu Ming himself.

And these disciples don't just read rote books all day long, and at the same time they have to meditate and cultivate their minds...

Otherwise, what's the point of Gu Ming accepting these disciples?

Gu Ming and Bai Suzhen left Chang'an just now after calculating that the time was almost up.

……

Datang boundary, Shuangcha Ridge.

Before dawn, there were already three people hurrying along on the weedy mountain road.

It was Tang Seng who was riding on the horse, and the other two were the surviving guards.

Before departure, Emperor Taizong assigned dozens of guards to Tang Seng, as well as doctors and so on, and prepared a lot of food and drink.

As a result, the road was not smooth, and I encountered several bandits, and beasts...

A group of guards died and fled, and in the end there were only two left.

But even so, it still failed to make Tang Seng back down, and his heart to go to the West to learn scriptures did not waver at all.

Only those two guards suffered...

After walking for several miles, suddenly, a gust of evil wind hit, and then saw many little monsters with strange shapes jumping out of the surrounding grass.

The three of them turned pale with fright, and when they were about to escape, a group of little monsters had already surrounded them and captured the three of them almost effortlessly.

"Caught, caught!"

"My lord, Tang Sanzang has been caught."

"Hahaha, that's great, children, I heard that eating Tang's monk meat can make you live forever. This time we are lucky."

With a burst of rough laughter, a tall tiger spirit came out and waved his hands vigorously: "Children, take them back to the cave first."

"Yes!"

Not long after returning to the cave mansion, two well-informed goblins came to the cave mansion, one called Xiongshanjun and the other called special servant.

And that tiger spirit was called General Yin by the two demons.

"Congratulations to General Yin for capturing Tang Monk. I heard that this monk is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi. As long as you eat his meat, you will live forever, and your cultivation will also increase."

"That's right, that's why Mr. Xiong Shan and I have the cheek to come here, hoping that Big Brother can share some."

"Hahaha, since the two virtuous brothers are here, the eldest brother will naturally not be petty. The younger ones are preparing fine wine. After a while, the monk will be boiled in the pot, and everyone will share and eat."

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Yes, yes, three great kings, if you want to eat, you can eat Tang Seng. The two of us are just ordinary people. Please also ask the three great kings to raise your hand and let us live."

"Amitabha!"

Tang Seng couldn't help reciting a Buddhist name, and said to the group of monsters: "The poor monk advises everyone to put down the butcher's knife, and don't hurt people's lives, so as not to sow bad fruits..."

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

"That's right, my king has been preparing for a few days, just to catch you and eat your meat."

"Amitabha Buddha, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, you should turn your head and see the shore. The poor monk advises you to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately..."

"Go, shut up this monk's mouth, chatter non-stop, and let people have a good chat?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When even a little demon responded, he found a rag and forced it into Tang Seng's mouth...

"My lord, I beg you to let me survive."

The other two guards pleaded bitterly, but unfortunately, how could these monsters be willing to let people go?Already starting to boil water and prepare to cook food...

Chapter 13 Sun Wukong is out of trouble and apprenticed to Tang Seng

At the same time, Gu Ming and Bai Suzhen had already arrived at Shuangcha Ridge.

"My lord, are we really not going to visit Tang Seng? What if..."

Bai Suzhen hesitated to speak.

Gu Ming smiled and waved his hands and said: "Suzhen, for Tang Seng's journey of learning Buddhist scriptures, the difficulty of Shuangcha Ridge is just the beginning of ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties.

If he can't even overcome the first difficulty, what experience can he learn?

Don't worry, before meeting Sun Wukong, he is safe, and someone will protect him secretly.

The two of us appearing now will actually attract the attention of those people in the sky. "

"But son, have you ever thought about it, if we hadn't come to this world, everything would naturally develop according to the direction of the plot.

But we have come to this world, I am afraid it will cause some subtle changes..."

"En!" Gu Ming nodded: "Yes, it is inevitable. However, if Tang Seng can't get through the first difficulty, then there is no need for us to play this game of learning from the West."

Bai Suzhen thought for a while: "Well, the young master is right, so where should we go now?"

"Go to Liangjie Mountain and find Monkey King."

On the other side, a group of goblins are feasting...

Tang Seng witnessed with his own eyes that the two guards were swallowed by a group of monsters. No matter how hard it was to maintain the image of an eminent monk, he broke into a cold sweat and kept chanting the Buddha's name.

"Hahaha, monk, don't waste your efforts, even the Buddha can't save you! Come here, throw Tang Seng into the pot to cook!"

"Yes!"

A group of little demons had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and after hearing the king's order, they hurried forward to throw Tang Seng into the cauldron.
