"Wow! It's really outrageous. The stars appeared during the day, and the sun, moon, and stars all jumped out. What are you doing!"
In Dongsheng Shenzhou, an old farmer who was digging in the ground held up a hoe and looked at the sun, moon and stars gradually disappearing in the sky. He let out a 'ho' sound and then spat in the sky.
Not far behind the old farmer, the county magistrate was leading the county gentry and common people, playing gongs and drums, from the county seat to the farmland outside the city, and then circled back to the county seat.
Every household in the city put incense and burned paper, and worshiped all the gods and Buddhas whose names they knew.
This kind of scene not only happens here, but also happens everywhere in Dongsheng China.
People in various countries didn't know what happened. They only knew that the stars in the sky were all shining out in broad daylight. This must be a bad omen.
Moreover, the words spoken by the gods in the sky are called "Tianyin". Mortals cannot hear the Tianyin, only monks can hear it.
The people who were close to Jiantao Mountain did see it, but they were so frightened that they crouched on the ground and did not dare to move. When they looked up again, the gods had gone, leaving only Jiantao Mountain in ruins.
As for the large and small Taoist temples and Buddhist temples in Dongsheng Shenzhou, as long as they are immortals, they can vaguely figure out what happened.
However, for those monks who have not become immortals, they can only hear the heavenly voice of the stars in the sky, but they do not know who is targeted and what the purpose is.
However, they soon learned that Gucang Temple in Jianda Mountain was destroyed by the Heavenly Court.
Just because Master Gucang accepted the general who had defected from Dongtian Mansion, the heavenly judge Hongqing Zhenren Fangjian directly killed Gucang Temple and destroyed all the members of Gucang Temple.
Master Gu Cang, he is a disciple of Baotanhua Bodhisattva. He is also a disciple of Taiyi Xuanxian. He is also a profound Buddhist, and he is also a famous Buddhist sect in the entire Dongsheng State.
This news brought great shock to the Taoist and Buddhist temples in Dongsheng China, especially the name Tianjian Hongqing Zhenren Fangjian, which resounded among all Taoist and Buddhist monks in Dongsheng China overnight.
...
Dongtian Mansion, Qingyuan Tiangong.
Jiuzhen Tianjun's face was full of spring breeze, as if the person who was immobilized by Fang Jian with the Ding Yuan Pearl was not him at all, but another person.
Master Taihua was also sitting there with a smile. After Fang Jian took back the Ding Yuan Pearl, the two of them returned to Dongtian Mansion without even waiting for Fang Jian to come up and speak.
Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, they were embarrassed and returned to Dongtian Mansion in embarrassment, but in the minds of the two of them, this was a successful performance.
Fang Jian destroyed Master Gu Cang and others, but they did not appear.
But when Fang Jian wanted to destroy the temple, they had to speak out.
Fang Jian now has backing, and he is not afraid of anything, but we are afraid. Are we really going to be hated by Buddhism, and are we not allowed to go out in the future?
So when the two of them had the courage to dissuade Fang Jian, they wished that Fang Jian would take action against them, preferably using the Ding Yuan Pearl.
And Fang Jian lived up to expectations and used the Ding Yuan Pearl to immobilize them.
This may seem embarrassing, but it's a good idea. They went out to talk when Fang Jian destroyed the temple, but Fang Jian didn't listen and used the Ding Yuan Pearl to immobilize them.
At that time, Jiuzhen Tianjun was just pretending to be angry, so not only did the two of them not feel ashamed at all, but they were extremely happy.
You have to ask why Taoism and Buddhism are so powerful? Do you not even dare to offend Jiu Tianjun?
This is going to talk about one thing, and that is cultivation and lifespan.
The so-called "Heavenly Life" on the Immortal Official Jade Plate is not the lifespan calculated according to the "Celestial Calendar", but the meaning of "live as long as the sky".
As an immortal official, heaven will grant you eternal life. As long as you don't suffer a violent death, you can live to the end of the world.
However, even if you have 'Tianshou', there is an upper limit to the realm you can achieve.
That upper limit is the 'Taiyi Golden Immortal'. When a monk picks up the Taiyi Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, he will begin to 'prove the Tao'. What Tao is he to prove? Three Thousand Avenues!
Once you leave heaven and remove your immortal official position, your lifespan will no longer be endless, but will have a certain number.
Unless you can cultivate to the level of the 'Great Luo Golden Immortal', jump out of the Three Realms, and are no longer in the Five Elements, and your soul relies on the way of heaven, you can be immortal. Even if a calamity comes, as long as you don't end up in the calamity, you will be safe.
For example, Jiutian Xuannv is the Daluo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.
It seems that after Taiyi Jinxian is Daluo Jinxian, there is another shackle in the middle, which is 'Proving the Way'. To put it in layman's terms, Taiyi Jinxian must attain one of the three thousand avenues before he can get a ticket to enter the realm of Daluo Jinxian.
The Great Luo Jinxian must also attain ten of the three thousand avenues before he can get the ticket to enter the 'Hunyuan Wuji Luo Jinxian'.
And what are the conditions required for 'enlightenment'? That is Taoism, the understanding of the three thousand great ways.
So when it comes to this, who has the most say?
The answer is about to come out, Taozu! Buddha!
Taozu is the ancestor who opened up the great road. The one in Tushita Palace is just the incarnation of Taozu in heaven. The Taishang Taozu himself lives forever in the Dachitian Eight Views Palace. The immortals who have seen the Taishang Taozu himself in the entire three realms have one hand. You can count them all.
Buddha, after Taishang Daozu, was another ancestor who opened up a great avenue. Although compared to Taishang Daozu who opened a great road, Buddha only opened up a great road to achieve enlightenment, but this is enough, because it means that Buddha's Taoism can also give people the ability to climb to the peak of Hunyuan Wuji Luo Jinxian hope.
The Jade Emperor, on the other hand, was born in response to the way of heaven. He climbed to the top purely by relying on the "calamity" step by step, and finally took the position of leader of Taoism and Buddhism, and dominates the heavens in the three realms.
Therefore, since the Jade Emperor did not clear the way, he would naturally be unable to guide the immortal officials in heaven.
Therefore, the reason why the heavenly officials are unwilling to offend Taoism and Buddha is not because they are afraid of the strength of the two religions, but because they have a deeper reason.
...
Just when Jiuzhen Tianjun and Master Taihua were happy, Fang Jian entered the hall with Dian Rong, the ruined temple general.
Ke Mengqing said goodbye to Fang Jian in front of the Qingyuan Heavenly Palace, and then returned to the Heavenly Palace.
"Tianjun, Shangshu, Fang Jian was rude earlier, and now I'm here to apologize." Fang Jian bowed respectfully to Jiuzhen Tianjun and Master Taihua.
Jiuzhen Tianjun laughed loudly, raised his hand and said: "Master Hongqing, please get up quickly. I don't blame you."
Master Taihua also said: "Master Hongqing enforces the law impartially, and it is obvious to all the immortals and Buddhas in the sky. Now that I have obtained the 'Ziwei Xuanfu', it can be said that I have added wings to a tiger, and I will definitely achieve great things in the future."
Fang Jian said modestly: "I am just a low-ranking official with a little ability. How dare I be evaluated like this by Tianjun and Shangshu?"
Then Fang Jian pointed at Dianrong and said, "General Temple Destroyer also made great contributions today. I will ask Heavenly Lord to reward General Temple Destroyer."
Jiuzhen Tianjun nodded and said: "This is the proper meaning."
The ruined temple general was stunned for a moment, then shook his head wildly and said he didn't dare.
Fang Jian looked at him and said: "General, there is no need to be humble in destroying the temple. If it weren't for you today, I would have to go through a lot of trouble if I wanted to destroy the temple."
The general who destroyed the temple heard this and thought about it. He took such a big risk to destroy the temple, so he should get some reward.
At this time, Jiuzhen Tianjun said: "General of the ruined temple, since Master Hongqing has expressed his merits for you, you should not be humble. Minister, please record a great merit for the general of the ruined temple!"
Master Taihua nodded and said, "Respect the law."
great merit! The broken temple general's heart was beating fast. This was the highest level of merit in the Tianjun Mansion. The reward was extremely generous and could not be obtained easily.
"Thank you so much, Lord Tianjun and Shangshu, and thank you Master Hongqing." The temple-breaking general paid his respects immediately.
Fang Jian helped the ruined temple general and said with a smile: "We are all colleagues, why should we be polite."
Jiuzhen Tianjun said again: "Master Hongqing, General Broken Temple, please take a seat."
Fang Jian shook his head when he heard this and said: "Tianjun, Fan Heng has been caught. It seems that there must be injustice in this case. I will first go to the black prison to release Master Caijing and take him to the Lei Department to confront him together." And interrogate Fan Heng.”
Upon hearing this, Jiuzhen Heavenly Lord immediately said solemnly: "Master Hongqing is right, Fan Heng, as the arresting and killing general of Dongtian Mansion, is so ignorant of the laws of heaven, he must be severely tried and sentenced."
Having said that, Lord Jiuzhen said to General Broken Temple: "General Broken Temple, it is up to you to accompany Master Hongqing to release Master Caijing, and go to the Lei Department to assist in the trial of Fan Heng."
The ruined temple general immediately raised his hands and sang, and then he and Fang Jian paid their respects to Jiuzhen Tianjun, turned around and left the main hall and led Fang Jian to the black prison.
