Chapter 991

Therefore, for this group of monks, now that they finally had the opportunity to observe Emperor Li Shimin, they naturally did not want to miss it.

For a time, the originally uniform chanting of scriptures appeared intermittent and missing.

However, such a situation had no effect on the Cihang monk; on the contrary, set off by this group of monks, the Cihang monk appeared even more unfathomable.

Emperor Li Shimin, seeing that this group of monks performed so poorly, was a little displeased; fortunately, in the end, looking at the Cihang monk's figure, his impression of Fomen was not so bad.

Afterward, Emperor Li Shimin took the lead and bowed to the Buddha statue representing the face of Fomen.

Now the Buddha statue of Fomen was no longer the Tathagata Buddha of the past, but was replaced by Ancient Buddha Randeng and Maitreya Buddha.

With Emperor Li Shimin leading, the civil and military officials following him followed suit and began to burn incense and worship Buddha.

The Cihang monk, after Emperor Li Shimin finished worshiping the Buddha statue, also led a group of monks to pay respects to Emperor Li Shimin.

Now that Emperor Li Shimin gave Fomen so much face, as the host of the Water and Land Assembly, the Cihang monk naturally would not let Emperor Li Shimin lose face.

For a time, in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between Emperor Li Shimin and Fomen looked harmonious.

Unfortunately, neither Emperor Li Shimin nor the Cihang monk's thoughts could be known.

However, at this moment, Emperor Li Shimin looked at the Cihang monk and affectionately held the Cihang monk's palm: "Don't delay the Water and Land Assembly because I am the Son of Heaven. Transcend the souls well; this is the matter of great merit."

"If this matter can be accomplished, I will renovate your Jin Shansi, and you, Cihang monk, can enter and leave the Imperial Palace to pay respects at will!"

Although this reward didn't look like much, its significance was extraordinary.

You must know that only a few people can enter and leave the Imperial Palace to pay respects to Emperor Li Shimin at will, such as Qin Shubao, Yuchi Gong, Fang Xuanling, and Zhangsun Wuji, etc.

You must know that these are all Emperor Li Shimin's confidants, so one can imagine that Emperor Li Shimin's reward was not generous.

"This poor monk thanks Your Majesty!"

The Cihang monk, upon hearing this, rarely showed a smile.

It was not because of Emperor Li Shimin's deep love for him, granting him the right to enter and leave the Imperial Palace to pay respects to Emperor Li Shimin at will, but because the Cihang monk heard that Jin Shansi would be renovated later. *** ### CHAPTER 993
