Chapter 1518 – It’s him!
Actually, An Zheng wasn’t very interested in the things that Li Chengtang said. Every single time during the historical period, some extraordinary things would happen, this was inevitable.
The only difference was that An Zheng and Ta Ta Ye came in. Monkey might have really followed the monk to the Residence of Prince of Liu at the time, but the story afterwards would be the beginning of the knot in their hearts.
But An Zheng noticed that when Li Chengtang said these words, his eyes flickered.
Who was An Zheng?
He had once spent half his life in the Great Western Ming Fa Si to investigate, what kind of person had he not seen before? What he was most adept at was the way he looked at others. Jusiny glance was enough to expose whether or not this person had a problem.
Therefore, An Zheng was sure that there was something wrong with this Li Chengtang.
However, Li Chengtang was not the main focus of this past, and back then the monkey and the monk did not meet with any mishaps because of Li Chengtang, probably because of this person, and became good friends. Then, the monk brought the monkey back to the Great Thunder Lake Temple.
Therefore, for the time being, An Zheng did not plan to say anything, he was just an observer. After all, he had the strength of an Emperor, and at that moment, Monkey was the pinnacle of his life.
As for monks, there was no need to say anything about their strength. They were probably not weaker than monkeys.
With these three people combined, no matter how terrifying Li Chengtang’s strength was, it might not be able to create any sort of storm.
An Zheng also wanted to see how domineering the monkeys were at their peak.
From the moment An Zheng first met the monk and Monkey, An Zheng was very curious as to what kind of story was going on between the two of them. What did the monk do that made the monkey treat him like a brother, and what he did that caused the monkey’s heart to feel dead grey?
An Zheng had always wanted to help the two of them get rid of this knot in their hearts, and now that he finally had this ability with great difficulty, he would not give up.
Li Chengtang did not notice that An Zheng’s eyes had swept over him, and had been looking and talking to the monk the entire time.
“There is no such thing as a family matter with regards to the imperial family. The imperial family’s ugliness is naturally not a family matter either, so it can’t be said so easily.”
Li Chengtang sighed: “But in front of the Grandmaster, I can’t hide anything from you... Master should also know that Royal Father ascended the throne late, so he has always been feeling depressed. He has lived in the shadow of his ancestors for the rest of his life, always wanting to struggle out to achieve greater things and surpass his ancestors … This ieight that our Li family’s children will never be able to reach. However, royal father does not think so, he wants to surpass Grand Ancestor. ”
He took a sip of tea, as if trying to ease his mood: “That’s why royal father is in a rush. Back then, when Emperor Taizong failed to conquer the extreme cold lands of the northeast, royal father thought, if I could win, then I would have surpassed the glorious achievement of Emperor Taizong. However, in that place, in a year, there are eight or nine months of cold weather, which is simply unsuitable for battle.
“Let me give the master an example... To feed the one million man army, not to mention the horse laborers, just the army alone would consume more than half of the hundred men’s rations and the ten thousand mile long grain line from departure to destination! Because there are quite a lot of people in the food delivery team as well, so how much do we still have left after walking, eating, and drinking? ”
“Just like this, only five years, the nation’s power is almost gone, but five years isn’t enough to beat that place down … “A million strong army, and 200,000 died from the cold over there!”
The more Li Chengtang spoke, the more agitated he became, and even his face had turned pale white.
“The treasury is empty, stop now and rest. It’s not like the country cannot be saved …” However, royal father ordered the tax to be increased. The people’s homes didn’t even have a single grain left, what could they do? “The other way around!”
He slapped the table, “Gu Feng ordered the rebellion to be carried out peacefully, so we have to do it. Leading the army to exterminate the traitors iesponsibility bestowed upon me by the Emperor, not something that my father bestowed upon me. However, in my heart, I still feel sorry for those people. ”
Li Chengtang let oueavy breath, “Royal father wasn’t such a person. Ever since a person came to our side, his temperament has changed drastically. He is exceptionally trusting of this person, to follow his words, there must be a problem with him.”
The monk listened quietly. At this time, he said, “That person, do you think he is nouman?”
“No.”
Li Chengtang said: “When I was at Chang An, I saw him a few times, and every time he saw me, he would hide and hide. Master also knows that amongst my father’s sons, I am considered strong, and have just barely reached the Emperor Level 7.”
Hearing these words, An Zheng’s heart jumped, what he thought of just now seemed to be a little too child’s play.
This was not the era of Qing Lian and the others. Instead, it was before the Three Immortal Emperor had taken control of the world. In fact, Qing Lian had only just become a supreme expert in this era.
Just as An Zheng was thinking about this, he heard Li Chengtang continue: “That’s fine, but this person actually instigated royal father to continue spending a large amount of manpower and resources to build an immortal palace in the sky … He said that if royal father wants to surpass Grand Ancestor, he must do something even bigger. Extinguishing the eastern part of Liaoning Province is not a great achievement; he must build an immortal palace! ”
Li Chengtang was so angry that his hands were trembling when he said this.
An Zheng silently thought in his heart. Although the strength of the Blue Lotus Xuan-Yuan was only at the third level of the Emperor Level, he was able to control the Immortal Palace soon after. Li Chengtang was at the seventh level of the Emperor Level … What happened in the period between the destruction of the Great Song Dynasty and the rise of the immortal palace? This is a node in history... However, after the Immortal Palace had taken over the mortal world, the history of the past had been destroyed on a large scale. Very few people knew what had happened in the past.
When An Zheng heard about that person, he couldn’t help but think of Tan Shanse.
Tan Shanse had appeared at various times in history and continuously instigated wars. Because of him, large scale battles had occurred one after another among the cultivators, and the heaven and earth origin energy was suddenly thinner and a large number of Emperor-level cultivators had fallen.
If the Da Xi era was said to be the Age of Chaos, then the opening of the Immortal Palace could be considered to be the opening of the Age of Chaos.
Before the Era of Immortals, human cultivators and Emperor Level Master were everywhere, and there was more than one that had reached the pinnacle of the Emperor Level …
What An Zheng already knew was that after the battle of the immortal palace, the destruction of the immortal palace resulted in the complete decline of the cultivators. This was a node, and the node from before was something he would probably be able to see.
The destruction of the Great Song Empire, the rise of the immortal palaces, and the emergence of the Emperor Level Master were all happening not long after.
An Zheng allowed himself to calm down and listen, because he knew that there was a secret he was about to unravel … If it wasn’t for the Golden Crow Stone, if it wasn’t for the Oldman Huo, this sealed history might not have been able to lift the veil … Monkey actually knew, but Monkey only remembered the most impressive things that happened after he was heavily injured and returned to the stone shell. For example, Monk, Buddha, Long Lamp Ancient Buddha …
The monk, on the other hand, was truly dead. The Monk of Divisions was only carrying his fate and not his true reincarnation.
Li Chengtang continued to speak: “After reaching father’s side, this person was conferred the title of teacher by father … In the ten thousand years since my great song was founded, when have there ever been any Imperial Advisors? This person could be considered to be above everyone else, even Gu Ruoyun had to be polite to him, but it was just that he didn’t dare to face Gu Ruoyun head on … It is not enough for royal father to be bewitched by him, even eldest brother is bewitched by him, even the ministers in power within the imperial court are bewitched by him. ”
Li Chengtang stood up, and started walking back and forth in the study in a hurry.
“I suspect that Gu Jue wanted to snatch his position as crown prince. If Gu Ruoyun really had that intention, why wait till now? I have led millions of troops in the past, and taking down Chang An City was nothing but a small matter. With brother’s cultivation level, who would be able to stop me if I entered Chang An City alone? Father has no doubts towards Big Brother, he is constantly weakening Gu’s military power, and since Gu doesn’t want to be suspected, I have to bear with it … But this time, royal father has led the army on a tour to the east.
He stopped and looked at the monk. “If this person is not eliminated, the song is really over …”
The monk asked, “Your Highness, why do you believe that I can do it?”
Li Chengtang quickly walked in front of the monk and stared straight into his eyes: “Because other than the one person that royal father has the most trust in, the one he respects the most is the Buddha Sect. The master is the disciple of the Buddha, if the master is willing to speak, royal father will definitely believe it without a doubt … The song was shaking in the wind and rain now. No matter how many solitaries there were, it was useless. There was no end to killing people. What was the use of singing after that? I only hope that Master can persuade royal father to kill him when he arrives! ”
Li Chengtang actually kneeled down on the ground withump. “This is not only for my Li Family, but for the people of the world … Master, if the song was really destroyed by that person, how many people would be wiped out? Master is benevolent, killing one person and saving the world, I hope Master can grant my wish. ”
The monk was about to pull him up, but Li Chengtang just knelt there and refused to get up, “Master, if you do not agree to be alone, then I will kneel and not be able to get up.”
The monk sighed, “I will do my best.”
After Li Chengtang heard these words, he instantly became excited. He stood up and bowed deeply, “Thank you, Master … I really am not exaggerating. Master has probably seen it on the way here from the west. The further east they go, the more chaotic people’s hearts become. The place that is even further away from Chang An City has already become uncontrollable … I have trained the Ying Yang Flying Shadow Army’s murderous intent, but to no avail, because this mountain has never relied on killing to maintain itself, that’s the way it should be. ”
An Zheng suddenly felt that if Li Chengtang could become the Emperor, the song might not be destroyed.
However, history is history and cannot be changed easily.
An Zheng knew that something huge was going to happen. He was going to witness something huge happening with his own eyes.
“What’s that person’s name?”
An Zheng could not help but ask.
He thought he would hear the three words “Tan Shanse”.
“Xuan-Yuan.”
Li Chengtang looked at An Zheng, and said these two words word by word. An Zheng’s heart fiercely shook!
