Black Myth: You and I are both destined

Tianming stopped Li Shimin at the last moment.

He flew down from Li Shimin's shoulder and transformed from a small insect back into human form.

Li Shimin was startled at first, then he regained his composure in an instant.

"May I ask why the Immortal is preventing me from returning to the world?"

"Immortals? I am not in the same group with them."

"In that case, I will return to life first. The important officials in the court are still waiting for me."

"Emperor Taizong, that is a noble way."

Facing Tianming's reminder, Li Shimin answered calmly.

"Of course I know. Mr. Cui said that I should return to life from this point on."

"You upper-class people are always so awkward. Since you don't want to say it, let me say it. Guanyin and I are not in the same group."

Tianming pointed his index finger at his forehead.

"I am not a god, not a Buddha, and certainly not a Bodhisattva."

"I have seen it clearly along the way. You know, once you enter this noble path, even the emperor will be helpless."

How could Li Shimin not know that the underworld specifically told him to follow the noble path and make him a loyal minister, which naturally meant to make him a loyal minister of God in heaven.

"No need to say more, I have already made up my mind."

Li Shimin raised his foot and stepped towards the noble road.

"What if I could help you?"

Li Shimin stopped.

"You don't have to do this, Immortal. Wei Zheng also said he has a way, but it's just another show."

"Although I am the current emperor, I also know that the will of heaven cannot be violated."

"Hahahaha, Li Shimin, you have really good acting skills!" Tianming laughed so hard that he fell backwards.

"I reiterate that I am not the same as those gods and Buddhas. They ask for a lot and have great desires, so they are extremely hypocritical, but I am not. I will tell you directly what I am going to do."

After hearing these words, Li Shimin relaxed his vigilance. The hypocritical gods and Buddhas really could not say such words.

"May I ask what the Immortal wants to do?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Tianming's face showed joy. He was right in his guess. How could the General Tiance, the Lord of All Nations, be a wimp who was willing to surrender?

He was willing to die at that time and would not agree to Guanyin's conditions. How could he abandon the people behind him now?

"We might be able to help each other."

"Help each other?" Li Shimin really didn't understand this time: "What does the immortal want?"

Tianming stretched out a finger.

"I want a pumpkin, too."

"Pumpkin?" Li Shimin felt his throat dry. "You want pumpkin too, so what's the difference between you and them?"

"Emperor Taizong, you didn't hear me clearly. I was talking about a pumpkin."

Seeing Li Shimin frown again, Tianming continued to add.

"This is not a test of sacrificing the small for the big. If we want one, we have to do it. Otherwise, no one can help each other."

Li Shimin thought over and over again about Tianming's words.

He judged: Judging from the way this person did things, it definitely had nothing to do with gods or Buddhas. Gods and Buddhas would never be so straightforward, let alone so generous. They would only create some so-called destiny.

"you……"

"Why do you want to help me?"

It was silent at dawn, there was no other sound around them, and the two fell into the abyss of silence and darkness again.

Li Shimin even heard the sound of blood flowing in his ears, but he was just a soul. It was all because it was too quiet here, so quiet that it could make people hallucinate, go crazy and collapse at any time!

As time passed, Tianming finally answered.

"because……"

"You and I are both destined."

It was the first time that Li Shimin heard the title of "Man of Destiny", but he understood it instantly.

"A man of destiny? The ups and downs of destiny are beyond our control!"

Hearing Li Shimin's sigh, Tianming asked.

"Have you figured it out?"

Li Shimin smiled bitterly.

"Anyone can understand the suffering that was imposed on me. I just had to accept it."

"Looking at the current situation, even if I disagree, they will find someone else to act on their behalf. They will only go further and act more recklessly than when I was here. The people will suffer in the end."

"It's a pity that when I was in power, I ordered that the total number of monks in the country should not exceed 3,000, and encouraged them to return to secular life and cultivate the land. But today I went back on my word and broke my promise to the people!"

Seeing that Li Shimin was still depressed, Tianming comforted him from the side.

"Has Emperor Taizong ever thought about what heaven's grace is?"

Li Shimin's voice was hoarse and he covered his forehead, as if the place he was going back to was hell and he was in great trouble.

"God's will is unpredictable, and I have no way of knowing it either."

"I think your majesty is not ignorant, but his mind is confused. Since the will of heaven is unpredictable, what about the emperor's grace?"

Tianming's words immediately awakened Li Shimin, who was still depressed.

He blurted out: "Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all the emperor's grace!"

"I understand, I understand! Thank you for your guidance."

When Li Shimin thought that God, like himself, was also governing the territory and people behind him, the heavy stone in his heart was suddenly put down.

There is no difference between Heaven's grace and Emperor's grace, so there is no difference between the Heaven's heaven and the imperial court that one governs.

The gods and Buddhas can naturally have whatever they want, but there are policies from above and countermeasures from below, and things are not yet at the point where they are irreversible.

A glimmer of light rekindled in Li Shimin's dim eyes.

"Can you please tell me the method you mentioned now? I will give you the pumpkin, and I will bear the responsibility alone."

Tianming already knew that Li Shimin would have this awareness, so he leaned over and whispered his plan into Emperor Taizong's ear.

"...One person for ten thousand people, there is no better deal in the world..."

Li Shimin was shocked after hearing the plan!

“No! No!!”

"This is disrespectful and immoral, and must not happen in the territory of the Tang Dynasty!"

"So, you agreed?"

"When did I say yes?"

"You acted well. You should stay like this to avoid being noticed by the guy in the sky."

"My Lord, you must not insist on doing what you want. I say again, I have not agreed to this!"

Tianming stopped talking. He knew very well what kind of person Li Shimin was. He was first a Tang person, and only then would he be a virtuous person, or a virtuous emperor.

If a decisive person like Li Shimin really disagreed, he would naturally try every means to stop him instead of refutating him here with words.

At this moment, it suddenly started to rain lightly, which seemed out of place and extremely strange on the road of six reincarnations!

Li Shimin hesitated: "Should it rain here?"

Tianming raised his head and the rain soaked his eyes.

"It is God who decides where it will rain. Does the Dragon King have the final say?"

The two looked at each other and laughed out loud!

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

……

After an unknown amount of time, Li Shimin finally decided to set off. Tianming turned into a bug again, ready to follow him back to the world through Guidao.

Li Shimin looked at Tianming on his shoulder and felt depressed.

"My Lord, now that I have returned to life, I will be your loyal subject from now on."

"My Lord, please take care of yourself!"
