When I was young, I saw a Taoist dressed in Songfeng Taoist robes, with a gold and jade tie on his forehead, his long hair spread loosely, and a carefree and celestial spirit flying slowly out of Beitianmen under the cloud light.
Everyone in Beitianmen looked solemn when they saw this man, and then they all bowed their heads and said, "I have seen the true master of Dongshen."
The Dongshen Hall is located to the east of the three-door entrance to the central mountain entrance in the Heavenly Court. After receiving the teachings of Yuanshi Tianzun, he became the Taoist. A hall was built here to preach to the Supreme Lord.
Furthermore, among the selected outstanding ones, those who are actually known to get their positions must have made a great vow for the Supreme Being to save all sentient beings. After attaining enlightenment in this way, you can reach your own body. There is great benefit in the world, and it is in response to God's heart.
In other words, Dongshentang was opened by the law of Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, and it is controlled by Taishang Laojun.
Although Dongshentang does not have much real power in Heaven, its status is transcendent. Why? Because after the Immortal Official reaches the first rank, there is no way he can be promoted.
If a first-level immortal official wants to be promoted to the super level, then you have to go to the Dongshen Hall for further training. As long as the old immortal masters in the Dongshen Hall say you can do it and allow you to graduate, then when you come out again, you will be a super level. Pinxianguan.
Therefore, all the old immortal masters in the Cave God Hall and the ninety-percent super-grade immortal officials in Heaven have to call them 'teachers' when they meet them.
And when other immortal officials see him, they also have to call him 'Dong Shen Zhenshi'.
However, although Laojun is in charge of Dongshentang, he basically doesn't care about anything other than giving sermons.
Therefore, the Dongshen Hall is mainly run by three old immortal masters. The first is Master Xuandu, a disciple of Taishang Laojun, who serves as the "Dongshen Zhenqing". He is in charge of all affairs of the Dongshen Hall.
The second is to take up the post of 'Dong Shen Zhenwen', which is the Taoist 'Yun Zhongzi' in front of him now.
Finally, there is the "Taoist Lu Ya" who holds the post of "Dong Shen Zhen Weng". Among the three, Master Xuandu is the leader, and Yun Zhongzi and Taoist Lu Ya are both assistants.
Dongshentang does not participate in the specific affairs of the Heavenly Court. It is only responsible for teaching Taoism and educating immortal officials, but it is also in charge of Taoist affairs.
Holding the talisman in hand, Yun Zhongzi flew straight out of the Nantianmen and came to Empress Wu Lin. Then he bowed his head and said, "Yun Zhongzi has met the empress."
Empress Wu Lin returned the salute lightly, and then her eyes fell on the talisman in Yun Zhongzi's hand.
I saw Yun Zhongzi turning around, looking at Zhang Sanfeng and Li Chunfeng and saying: "Dong Shen Zhenqing, Xuandu Archmage Fu Zhao, Zhang Sanfeng and Li Chunfeng accepted the imperial edict."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng and Li Chunfeng immediately stepped forward, bowed their heads and said, "Disciples accept the imperial edict."
Yun Zhongzi said: "You two intercepted Empress Wen Lin's Dharma without permission and let the Qingshou boy and the Magnolia Fairy go. Do you think you are guilty?"
"Disciple knows his crime." The two of them responded in unison.
Yun Zhongzi said again: "You two pretended to be heavenly generals and went to Yuquan Peak to deceive the Mountain God of Duanjie. Do you know your crime?"
"Disciple acknowledges his guilt." The two responded again.
Yun Zhongzi nodded and said: "Since you are aware of your crime, according to the decree of the Cave God Zhenqing, you two will be punished to go back to the mountain to think about your past for two hundred years, and you will not be allowed to leave the cave for two hundred years."
After saying that, the talisman in Yun Zhongzi's hand turned into two rays of fairy light and flew to Zhang Sanfeng and Li Chunfeng, instantly sending them back to their respective caves.
Then, Yun Zhongzi turned around and stepped on the clouds, flew slowly into the Beitianmen, and returned to the Cave God Hall.
It's so detached, it's so direct.
This is the best explanation of the relationship between Taoism, Buddhism and heaven. How to say that: rituals cannot reach demons, and punishments cannot reach Taoism and Buddha.
Are you not convinced? Then go and argue with Taoist and Buddha.
Empress Wu Lin looked at Yun Zhongzi's leaving figure with a hint of helplessness in her cold eyes, but this was reality.
After all, there are only clear rules and precepts in the Taoist scriptures and Buddhist verses, and there are no laws of heaven.
...
When Empress Wu Lin returned to Taixuan Hall, Nine Heavens Profound Girl, Empress Wushan, Wen Shizhenren, Marshal Guan and Empress Wen Lin were all in the hall.
Jiutian Xuannv said to Wenshi Zhenren: "Imperial edict, Fang Jian, the God of Duanjie Mountain in Xihua Prefecture."
Master Wen Shi immediately walked out and waited for the order from the Nine Heavens Xuannv.
Just listen to the words of Jiutian Xuannv: "The edict is passed to Fang Jian. As long as he takes good care of the evil son and doesn't get taken away by others, this time it will be a great achievement."
"Follow the law." Master Wen Shi bowed and responded, and then Jiutian Xuannv said to Empress Wen Lin: "If you hadn't left that evil son at Fang Jian before, I'm afraid he would have been taken away now. "
After hearing this, Empress Wen Lin immediately stood up and apologized: "I am guilty."
"We'll talk about your business later. Now you personally deliver this Talisman Edict to Fang Jian, God of the Mountain Duanjie, and then stay there to help Fang Jian." Jiutian Xuannv said.
Empress Wen Lin immediately accepted the order and said: "Wen Lin accepts the order."
After Empress Wen Lin left with the edict, the boy in front of the palace came to report: "I'm reporting to the great envoy, who has clairvoyance and ears for the wind."
"Xuan." Jiutian Xuannv's eyes sharpened and she said immediately.
After a while, Clairvoyance and Shunfeng Ear walked into the main hall side by side. When they entered the hall, they worshiped in unison: "Meet the great envoy."
Empress Wen Lin looked at the two of them and said, "Clairsight and ears, have you found any information?"
Thousand Miles Eye reported: "Chief Envoy Qi, we have found out that the Qingshou boy and Yulan Fairy have been picked up by Yuan Tiangang of Qianhe Mountain."
Shunfeng Er said: "The person who has an affair with Fairy Yulan is Xiao Yumei, a disciple of Yuan Tiangang."
Upon hearing this, Jiutian Xuannv immediately counted with her fingers, then smiled lightly and said, "Someone has deceived the secret of heaven."
Fortunately, the clairvoyance and ears of the wind are not deceived, so that we can see clearly the cause and effect of this matter.
Immediately, Jiutian Xuannv said to Wen Shizhenren: "I have issued an imperial edict. The Jintianyuan Saint Emperor of Huashan in Huashan, Yulan, Qingshou, and Xiao Yumei are already in the territory of Huashan. He is ordered to arrest and return to life immediately without any mistake."
After saying that, Jiutian Xuannv said directly to Empress Wu Lin: "You will pass on this talisman edict."
Empress Wu Lin bowed her head and said, "Follow the law."
"Thousands of clairvoyants and gentle ears, you two will continue to monitor the whereabouts of the three of them."
"Follow the order."
"The Chief Director of Taixuan Province." Jiutian Xuannv called.
Marshal Guan Yu immediately responded: "I am here."
Jiutian Xuannv said: "You will dispatch the thirty-six heavenly generals to sit in Zhongtian, ready to be announced at any time."
"Respect the law and decree." Guan Yu promised in a shaking voice.
Finally, Jiutian Xuannv glanced at Wushan Empress and said to everyone: "Fairy Yulan violated the rules of heaven, was obsessed with the world, fell into the sea of love, and was stubborn. The Qingshou boy knew the law and broke the law, and helped Yulan betray heaven and escape without permission for his own personal love. In the lower realm, the crime cannot be forgiven. Xiao Yumei was addicted to lust and fell in love with the goddess of heaven instead of thinking about spiritual practice. The crime cannot be punished. These three people must be captured and brought back to heaven to question their crimes. If they resist, they will be killed on the spot."
...
When Taixuandu Province issued an order to capture and kill Yulan Fairy, Xiao Yumei, and Qingshou Tongzi, the three people had already followed Yuan Tiangang to a dojo in the mountains of Huashan.
"Don't leave while you wait in this mountain. I have made an agreement with the owner of this place, and he will protect you and so on." Yuan Tiangang said to Xiao Yumei and the others.
Xiao Yumei looked at Yuan Tiangang and said, "Master, where are you?"
Yuan Tiangang sighed: "It is inappropriate to let Quan Daoyou and Li Daoyou be in danger. No matter whether they have succeeded or not, I will go to rescue them."
"Master..." Xiao Yumei called out, her lips squirming but unable to speak.
Yuan Tiangang turned around and glanced at him and Magnolia beside him. He just sighed and said, "You must never leave this mountain."
After saying that, Yuan Tiangang soared into the clouds, and in an instant he flew out of Mount Huayue and into the sky.
