It was definitely confirmed that he was in the world of Journey to the West, and he also clearly understood his identity as Tang Monk. Jiang Liu was not happy in his heart.

As the core figure in the journey to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures, his existence is naturally attracting the attention of gods and Buddhas all over the sky. If the spread of Buddhism to the East is a big chess game arranged by the Buddhist world, then he is the most important chess piece.

Yes, Jiang Liu understood very well that Tang Monk's identity was just a chess piece, and the most important one, in his journey to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

In this way, the idea of ​​marrying Gao Yang and having children can be said to be more difficult than reaching the sky.

After all, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Western Heaven would never allow themselves to give up traveling to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures and get married and have children, right?

"Xuan Zang, what's wrong with you? Do you know something? Your face looks a little ugly." Long Hai, who was standing next to him, looked at Jiang Liu's face and asked in surprise.

"Oh, it's nothing. I think this dream should be my own fate. If I have a chance in the future, I would like to go to the Five Elements Mountain to take a look." The words of Longhai Saint Monk interrupted Jiang Liu's thoughts.

, after gathering his emotions, Jiang Liu shook his head and replied.

After hearing Jiang Liu say that this was his own fate, the holy monk Long Hai had no intention of intervening in the so-called monkey pressed under the Five Elements Mountain.

However, just as he was about to leave, he heard Jiang Liu make an embarrassing request to him.

"Holy Monk, I have something to ask for. I want to go to the palace." Jiang Liu put forward his request as he stared at Holy Monk Long Hai seriously.

"This..." Faced with such a request, Longhai Holy Monk looked embarrassed.

Originally, Long Hai was very happy when Jiang Liu made a request. After all, the more he helped him, the more favor he owed him.

But Jiang Liu wanted to go to the palace, so why did he go to the palace? Long Hai naturally understood.

"Holy Monk, it has been many days since I gave incense to me, and Gao Yang saw me lighting the twelve incense scars with his own eyes. I think she has been living in torment every day these days, and I don't

If you are in a hurry to return to secular life, can't you still let me meet her?" Jiang Liu's eyes were very firm, showing his determination to go to the palace.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Liu's unswerving attitude did not want to arouse his strong feelings of resistance, or perhaps it was Jiang Liu's statement that he was not in a hurry to return to secular life and leave, which made Long Hai feel relieved.

After pondering for a moment, Long Hai said: "It's just this once, it won't happen next time."

"Thank you, holy monk!" Jiang Liu was overjoyed when he heard Long Hai agreed and sincerely thanked Long Hai.

…

Following Long Hai into the palace, Jiang Liu looked around curiously. This was his first time entering the palace.

Seeing the appearance inside, the high vermilion walls, the guards coming and going, and the eunuchs nodding and bowing to lead the way.

When Holy Monk Long Hai came to the palace, the people in the palace naturally showed great respect. Soon a young eunuch quickly ran out and informed the emperor.

When Jiang Liu and Long Hai arrived at the entrance of the main hall, they could see that Tang Emperor Li Shimin had personally greeted them.

After the two parties greeted each other, Li Shimin's eyes fell on Jiang Liu, and immediately he greeted Jiang Liu: "Master Xuanzang, welcome."

Hearing that Li Shimin actually took the initiative to greet him, Jiang Liu was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he lit twelve incense scars that day. Both Gao Yang and Li Shimin watched clearly, so Li Shimin remembered him and was also there.

It makes sense.

Jiang Liu clasped his hands together and bent down to return a salute: "Thank you, Your Majesty!".

"Please take a seat, both of you." After personally welcoming Jiang Liu and Long Hai into the hall, he greeted the two of them to sit down. Li Shimin didn't mean to talk nonsense, and said: "The holy monk came with Master Xuanzang. I think there is nothing to do."

Are you not going to the Three Treasures Hall?"

"Yes, I came here today to discuss with Your Majesty the friction between the Dajiang Jiao King and the Blood Tiger King. Because the friction between these two demon kings is becoming more and more frequent, the demons and demons within a hundred miles radius are all over the place.

He is very active and has caused a lot of trouble to the surrounding residents. Secondly, just in time for the meeting, the poor monk made several jade pendants, which can be used for personal protection and appreciation, and he wanted to give them to several princes and princesses."

While speaking, Holy Monk Long Hai took out several pieces of jade pendants from his arms.

"Thank you, holy monk." Seeing that Long Hai took out some jade pendants as gifts, Li Shimin thanked him and then gave some instructions to the eunuch next to him.

Soon, after the eunuch left, he led several young men and women over, and Princess Gaoyang was among them.

Jiang Liu was happy to see Gao Yang again after not seeing him for many days. He could also see that Gao Yang looked much thinner than the previous days, his expression was silent, and he was not at all as relaxed and cheerful as before.

Jiang Liu's eyes fell on Gao Yang. Naturally, Gao Yang also spotted Jiang Liu when he entered the hall.

The two looked at each other, as if everything around them no longer existed.

"Gao Yang, why don't you come here? This is the jade pendant given to you by the Holy Monk Long Hai for your protection." Li Shimin next to him greeted Gao Yang, interrupting the look between her and Jiang Liu.

After coming back to his senses, Gao Yang stopped looking at Jiang Liu and silently walked to Li Shimin's side, stretched out his hand to take the jade pendant, and said with a blessing: "Thank you, father, and thank you, the holy monk."

"Okay, you guys, please go down..." He looked at Gao Yang with a doting look in his eyes. After distributing a few jade pendants, Li Shimin immediately waved his hand and asked the princes and princesses to retreat.

"Xuan Zang, Your Majesty and I have some things to discuss. If you have nothing to do, you can wander around the palace." After the princes and princesses retreated, Long Hai also turned sideways and said to the side

Jiang Liu said.

"Then I won't disturb Your Majesty and the holy monk." As the holy monk Long Hai finished speaking, Jiang Liu stood up to say goodbye, and then turned around and left the hall.

Jiang Liu knew very well that Holy Monk Long Hai gave gifts under the guise of giving gifts to Gao Yang to let him know that he had entered the palace and then let him leave. He also wanted to create opportunities for him and Gao Yang to be alone.

Jiang Liu left the main hall with natural steps. When Jiang Liu walked outside the hall, he happened to see the figure disappearing around the corner of Gaoyang in the distance.

Stepping up his pace, Jiang Liu trotted towards Gao Yang and chased him.

After chasing him for a while, he saw Gao Yang disappearing in a rockery. Jiang Liu ran over and looked around, but he couldn't see him.

"Hey, idiot, I'm here." Just when Jiang Liu couldn't find anyone and didn't know what to do, a chuckle sounded from beside him.

Jiang Liu looked for the sound and saw a hole next to the rockery. Gao Yang was sticking his head out and waving to him.

Smiling happily, Jiang Liu followed Gao Yang's guidance and drilled in through a gap in the rockery...
