I, Dasheng Sun, swear not to become a Buddha

Even if they are rejected by the Daomen in the end, there will always be one or two who pass.

In the current old version of Tiantiao, there are many restrictions on Buddhism.

For example, Buddhist orthodoxy cannot be widely promoted in Nanfang Buzhou.

This kind of overlord clause was actually written into the Tiantiao.

Therefore, there has never been a Buddha in Nanbubuzhou.

Even Tang Seng, who has no title but no strength, and is still a native of Tang Dynasty.

It was also restricted in Chang'an City for various reasons.

There are also some heavenly regulations that restrict Buddhism, but although Buddhism participated this time, it has no intention of breaking these regulations.

"How many of them were involved?"

"More than 30 golden arhats." Liu Er said.

More than 30 people participated in the revision of Tiantiao, which is actually nothing.

The gods of the Heavenly Court rarely say thousands of numbers, but the representatives who participate in the revision of the Tiantiao alone have hundreds of numbers.

More than thirty people can't make any waves.

"Who are they helping?" Sun Wukong wanted to make some inferences through the people the monks had contacted.

Liu Er paused for a moment before saying, "They don't seem to be helping someone..."

It turned out that more than 30 arhats were assigned to more than 30 different departments.

Monks are present in almost all important departments of the Heavenly Court.

In name, it is to help them coordinate the revision of the new laws of heaven, and at the same time give opinions on regulations that may involve Buddhism.

But in fact, they seldom give opinions, and most of the time they are just dumb spectators in those departments of Heavenly Court.

"What the hell are they going to do! There are people from Buddhism in every important department? Are they planning to rebel against Heaven?" Sun Wukong was extremely puzzled by the actions of Buddhism.

Liu Er said disdainfully: "With these more than 30 golden arhats, you want to instigate an important department in the Heavenly Court?"

"Uh! Pretend I didn't say it!" Sun Wukong scratched his head and said.

It is indeed impossible, Tianting is not stupid enough to be able to instigate rebellion by thirty golden arhats.

The gods in the heavenly court also talked about the weird behavior of the monks.

However, most of the gods have an opinion on the information collected by Liu Er.

"The monks are afraid that the newly revised heavenly rules will have a major impact on Buddhism, so they are only here to supervise. When the terms of Taoism and Buddhism are not involved, they don't respond and are dumb."

Sun Wukong shook his head, he knew Buddhism better than those gods.

Buddhism will never be so boring and go to watch others revise the rules of heaven.

What's more, these years when Buddhism is booming, the gods will not go against the purpose of the Dao of Buddhism's Daxing, and move the old rules of heaven that originally had certain restrictions on Buddhism.

This will only give Buddhism the opportunity to obtain greater benefits.

"Forget it. Just pay attention to what they are going to do."

Monkey King didn't understand the situation, so he could only put the matter aside temporarily.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the cultivation of the three-stroke arrow style.

Time flies, and several years have passed.

When the three-stroke arrow pose has been cultivated to great success, Sun Wukong's remaining luck is only a little more than purple.

Monkey King can only accept meditation.

The source of purple luck is running very fast, and he will not consume the luck below purple.

After careful calculation, 12 years have passed.

Only five years have passed since the Hundred Six Disasters.

Monkey King is not a merciful savior.

He doesn't want to care too much about ordinary disasters.

But he has business in the mundane.

Fifteen years later, Lang Rong and the others don't know how things are going.

"Let's go. Go out and have a look!"

===Chapter 1318? Back to Chang'an City===

Chapter 1318 Returning to Chang'an City

Before leaving Qingcheng Secret Realm, Sun Wukong looked in the direction of Qingcheng Mountain, and the mountain was still closed.

With a wry smile, he stepped out of the secret realm of Qingcheng.

Turning around Chang'an City, I put down the cloud head, and saw my portrait on the notice board outside the city!

It's not an arrest, it's a missing person notice...

Someone paid a lot of money to find the old way of Perak.

The signature is the yamen of various places.

Sun Wukong counted, and it was the guys from the Buddhist sect who were looking for him again.

It seems that Buddhism has developed rapidly in Tang Dynasty these years!

For the sake of unnecessary trouble, Sun Wukong had no choice but to turn into a handsome young man again.

He has not set foot in Chang'an City for nearly 20 years.

"20 years. Chang'an City has not changed much."

Walking on the streets of Chang'an City, Monkey King talked to himself with some emotion.

"Brother, did you come back from outside?"

At the roadside tea stall, a young man heard Monkey King's words, so he approached him to strike up a conversation.

"Yes. I was in Chang'an when I was young, and I haven't been back for 20 years." Monkey King nodded.

The little guy immediately introduced the recent changes in Chang'an City to Monkey King.

It's all about market affairs.

It's not that the boy is too polite, but that he wants Sun Wukong to have a cup of tea at his tea stand.

Monkey King sat down with a smile and ordered tea and snacks.

The little guy made a deal and became more attentive.

"The changes in Chang'an City in the past 20 years are not small. Although the city looks the same inside and outside the city, many people and things have changed a lot."

"Brother, tell me about the changes?" Sun Wukong asked with a smile.

He didn't go to Lang Rong and Sun Guo either, so he asked the little guy to tell him the rumors first.

"Our Chang'an City has developed a lot in recent years. You can tell by the clothes and appearance of the people in the city. It must be different from the past." The young man said, looking at the people on the street.

"It's really different, the clothes are bright, and the spirit is much better than those years." Sun Wukong laughed.

"Yes. These years have been peaceful days, and the weather is good and the market is naturally prosperous. Look at my small tea stand, which makes a lot of money on weekdays." The boy said quite proudly.

The rule of Zhenguan was actually at its peak during the Li Zhi dynasty. If it weren't for the turmoil of Empress Wu, maybe Li Zhi would have a prosperous year in his dynasty.

After chatting with the little guy for a while, the parents in the city basically understood the story.

There are even a lot of things about Lang Rong's business.

Now Lang Rong's business is doing very well. In the city of Chang'an alone, there are four gambling houses, four teahouses, and more than three branches of cloth, rice, jade, etc. businesses.

It can be said that in the past 20 years, Lang Rong has basically covered Tang soil.

Strolling towards the West Market, this place is as busy as it used to be.

The Immortal Grass Pavilion is still at that location, and it still has that facade.

After losing contact with Monkey King, no matter how big Lang Rong's business is, Xiancao Pavilion will remain the same place.

He is going to wait here for Monkey King to come back.

After waiting for 18 and a half years, Monkey King is finally back!

"Your Majesty!" Lang Rong was so excited that he finally saw Monkey King again.

"well done."

Sun Wukong is very pleased that Lang Rong has been in the market for 18 years, and he can still maintain his original aspirations and be loyal to him, an incompetent king.

"My lord, you have been away all these years..."

Lang Rong's story is comprehensive, from the development of these years to the important experience of each person.

The expansion of various industries has been described in detail.

He is already a qualified businessman, controlling a huge wheel of capital.

"My lord. Wang Fugui made important progress five years ago."

five years ago.

The national situation of the Xiliang women's country is developing rapidly, and its national power is expanding.

Especially with Lang Rong's cooperation and Che Chiguo's help.

The Xiliang Women's Kingdom has already monopolized the trade with Tang Tu.

This created a conflict of interest with the Ji Sai Kingdom, which was also an important part of the East-West trade back then.

As a result, due to the monopoly of Xiliang Women's Kingdom, the vested interests of Jisai Kingdom have been reduced.

Five years ago, war broke out between the two countries.

The declining Jisai Kingdom is the thriving rival of the Xiliang Women's Kingdom. In just three years, the Xiliang Women's Kingdom completely conquered the Jisai Kingdom.

During this long war, Wang Fugui formed a caravan guard force.

It is said to be guards, but there are 5 to [-] people, and they are all guards who have undergone formal militarized training from the Xiliang Women's Kingdom.

Now Wang Fugui has already established several strongholds between Xiliang Nvguo and Zhuziguo to the west.

And began to gradually encroach on Zhu Ziguo in the west.

"He has brains and courage! Wang Fugui has done a very good job. Let him continue to do what he wants."

After listening to Lang Rong's return, Monkey King also admired Wang Fugui's courage.

If you really want to fight against Buddhism in the future, advancement in the mortal world is essential.

Lang Rong's business has formed a scale, and money and goods are constantly being shipped to Wang Fugui to support Wang Fugui's rise.

Although Monkey King is not around, these guys have also established their own forces.

He, the short king, has become a real king.

It's just that it's not convenient for him to go back to Xiniu Hezhou now, because Buddhism is still looking for him.

After talking about business, we talked about Chaochaotang again.

Now Li Zhi is still alive and well, but he suffered from an illness the year before last, and he is not doing well now. Since then, Empress Wu has been acting as the government agent.

Li Zhi's love for Wu Zetian has not weakened at all, and even deepened. No matter what occasion he attends, he will bring Wu Meiniang with him.

"What is Empress Wu's influence in the court?" Sun Wukong asked.

Although Lang Rong was in Shang, he was very clear about the current situation.

With such a large business, there are more or less connections with all the officials in the court.

"Empress Wu's influence is not great, it can be said to be insignificant. There are only some people who have been placed by the Wu family in some unimportant departments. She works very low-key. After all, Li Zhi's body was quite strong in the past few years." Lang Rong answered truthfully. .

Monkey King smiled and said: "History has changed after all."

"History?" Lang Rong didn't understand what Monkey King meant.

Sun Wukong shook his head and did not explain.
