The Great Emperor Fengdu of Beiyin was in charge of the underworld of the Underworld, and had jurisdiction over the ghost emperors of the five directions, Luo Feng, the six-day palace guardian god, and the ten palaces of Yama and other immortals and gods in the underworld.
When Fang Jian entered the Mingsi Hall, he saw Emperor Fengdu dressed in the Yanfu of the Five Yin Ghosts and Gods and wearing the Twelve Heavenly Crowns on his head, showing the divine favor of the Yin Emperor and the majesty of the great emperor.
Fang Jian walked to the atrium of the main hall, bowed and said: "Fang Jian of the Court of Chentian, pays homage to the Great Emperor Fengdu of Beiyin."
Emperor Fengdu sat on the Yin Ming throne, and slowly raised his right hand and said: "Pingshen."
"Thank you, Emperor." Fang Jian bowed before standing upright.
Emperor Fengdu asked: "Fang Jian, are you here for the souls of the sixteen emperors?"
Fang Jian said: "Exactly."
Emperor Fengdu said: "As a heavenly judge, why do you want to interfere with mortal affairs? Isn't it trespassing?"
Emperor Fengdu calculated that Fang Jian had obtained the Sixteenth Emperor Yuan Shen from Peng Jiuyuan, but he could not calculate that Fang Jian was the promised Nuwa Empress.
This is the gap between Tao and Xing. He can count Peng Jiuyuan and Fang Jian, but he cannot count Nuwa.
Fang Jian took out the jade edict of Nuwa Empress and said: "I am reporting to the Emperor of Fengdu that I have received the decree of Nuwa Empress to rectify her origins in the world and restore her reputation in the world. That is why I came to this trip."
When Emperor Fengdu saw the Jade Edict of Empress Nuwa, he immediately stood up and bowed to the edict, and then said: "Since it is Empress Nuwa's will, I will not ask any more questions. You want to make a sculpture for the Sixteenth Emperor Yuan Shen." Yang body?"
Fang Jian said: "Exactly."
Emperor Fengdu nodded and said, "This matter is easy to handle."
So Emperor Fengdu called down: "Where is Fengdu's waiting code?"
Fengdu only waits for the code, and holds the book of the underworld of Fengdu and the writings of guilty ghosts. It is handed over to Guangzhenren Yao, a second-grade immortal official, and a Xuanxian Taoist.
I saw Jiaoguang Zhenren Yao walking forward, bowing his hands and saying, "I am here."
Emperor Fengdu said: "Go and get the Sixteen Yang Body. It is a model for the Sixteen Emperors of the Ming Dynasty."
"Follow the law and decree." Jiaoguang Zhenren chanted, and immediately took the order and left.
The so-called 'Yang body' is the treasure of Fengdu. It can reshape the body of the deceased in the Yang world exactly as it was in life, but the prerequisite is that it must have its soul, soul or true spirit.
The "model" mentioned earlier does not mean that the Sixteen Emperors were models, but "a model of the appearance and body shape of the Sixteen Emperors of the Ming Dynasty", so it is called a "model".
This yang body was placed by the underworld to prevent the mortal souls from being mistakenly collected, causing the mortal body to become corrupted and unable to return to the yang.
Soon, Master Jiao Guangzhen Yao took the model of the Sixteenth Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and brought it over, "Master Hongqing, this is the model of the Yang body of the Sixteenth Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Please keep it."
Fang Jian returned the gift, then reached out to take the transparent jade box.
I saw sixteen "little people" lying quietly inside the jade box. These little people all look like young people, but if you look closely, you will find that most of these sixteen little people have similar appearances. .
"After Master Hongqing brings these yang bodies to the mortal world, he opens the lid of the box and injects magic power into them, and they will become their original size." Master Jiaoguang said.
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately saluted and said, "Thank you very much, Lord Dian."
Then Fang Jian paid homage to Emperor Fengdu and said, "Thank you very much, Emperor. I will take my leave."
The Great Emperor Fengdu of Beiyin nodded slightly, and then Fang Jian exited the Mingsi Hall, transformed into an immortal official and left Fengdu Ghost City.
...
After leaving Fengdu, Fang Jian took the Sixteenth Emperor Yuanshen and Yang Shen all the way to the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Fang Jian spent a month touring the entire territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom and found that the rumors and slanders about Nuwa Empress not only did not decrease, but showed an increasing trend.
Although the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty has banned the dissemination and printing of books about Nuwa, there are more and more such rumors and books among the people.
Moreover, the people who spread the most rumors were the princes, nobles, wealthy families, and the powerful gentry from all over the country.
In addition, there are many merchants and lackeys from the Great Zhou Kingdom, who will use these as talking points after dinner.
Not only the Empress Nuwa, but also the scandals of many gods and goddesses in heaven appeared, and many of them were extremely ridiculous.
Even the stories of Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are becoming more and more biased and outrageous, completely tending to be fabricated by ordinary people's curiosity.
During this month of wandering, Fang Jian discovered an extremely serious problem, and the hearts of mortals throughout the Great Zhou Kingdom were falling.
These people are like possessed. They don't distinguish right from wrong at all. As long as they are interested in all kinds of strange things, even if it is about Nuwa, the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors, they like to watch it.
Of course, there are sober people, but those sober people are all homeless, beggars, or poor people, and there are more and more such people.
At the same time, Fang Jian also met many monks from the Zhenyang Dao League...now called Zhenyang Dao Palace, who gave talisman water and porridge to save people, but Fang Jian felt more and more weird the more he looked at them.
"If it's not that everyone in the Great Zhou Kingdom is possessed by demons, then there are demons causing trouble in the Great Zhou Kingdom." Fang Jian came to a conclusion in his mind.
But heretic demons are born to block the secrets of heaven. They hide in the mortal world just to absorb the seven emotions and six desires of mortals as food, or to seize the luck of the human dynasty.
However, whether it is the depravity of man or evil, Fang Jian must first lay out his chess pieces.
As for Zhenyang Dao Palace, he didn't know whether these people were enemies or friends, and what their purpose was. However, Zhenyang Dao Palace had no behavior that violated Tiantiao, and he could not touch them for the time being.
Moreover, Jiutian Xuannv also told him that he must be cautious when dealing with Taoist people, so Fang Jian knew exactly what he should do next!
Although he always felt that something was wrong in Zhenyang Dao Palace, no matter what, he laid out his chess pieces first. As long as he lost the piece, he was not afraid that the chess player behind him would not show up.
Therefore, Fang Jian no longer placed his hope in the imperial court of the Great Zhou Kingdom, but came to settle on a barren mountain on the border of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and took out the Sixteen Emperor Yuan Shen and the Sixteen Yang Body.
"Let's start with Zhu Yuanzhang first." Fang Jian said, first opening the cover of the jade box where the Yang body was stored, and then taking out the tablet of Zhu Yuanzhang's Yuan Shen.
He first used magic power to awaken Zhu Yuanzhang's soul, and then informed him of the current situation after his mood stabilized.
"...Anyway, if you are willing, I will return you to Yang. After completing what I want to do, I will arrange to grant you 120 years of Yang life. Your Ming Dynasty will continue in the great world of Jambudvipa. And you can also choose to return to the Purple Qi Star to cultivate, or directly reincarnate, I can help you arrange it, this is my promise." Fang Jian said to Zhu Yuanzhang Yuanshen.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang's soul has been sleeping, after the death of an emperor, he has a very clear telepathic perception of everything that happened in his country and Zuo. Similarly, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew very clearly everything that happened in the Ming Dynasty through telepathic perception. .
So Zhu Yuanzhang heard the words and said: "No need to say more, Master Hongqing. As the emperor of the human race, how can I agree to the humiliation of Empress Nuwa? I will accept this matter."
"Okay." Fang Jian nodded, and then directly sent Zhu Yuanzhang's soul into the Yang body, and then transferred the magic power to help him return to Yang.
I saw a flash of fairy light, and Zhu Yuanzhang's yang body immediately flew to the ground and quickly grew to the height of a normal person.
After the fairy light dissipated, a living Zhu Yuanzhang appeared in front of Fang Jian.
Different from the Zhu Yuanzhang seen in the textbook before, the real Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him has a face with Chinese characters, big shoulders and round waist, his face is not angry and intimidating, and he is very majestic.
"I have met Master Hongqing!" Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his hands to Fang Jian, then glanced at the remaining yang bodies, and then asked: "Master, do you have a whip?"
Fang Jian asked doubtfully: "What do you want a whip for?"
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the remaining fifteen yang bodies and said through gritted teeth: "Hit people."
"..." Fang Jian nodded and said, "Yes, what kind do you want?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The stronger ones should also be prickly."
Fang Jian nodded, then raised his hand and used magic power to conjure a spiked whip and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at it after taking the whip, and then said to Fang Jian with great satisfaction: "Thank you Master Hongqing."
After saying that, he pointed at the remaining yang bodies and said, "I won't bother Master Hongqing anymore."
When Fang Jian saw this, he suggested: "How about I turn you into a small house, and I will return them to the sun outside the house, and then you can ask them to go in one by one, so that a dozen people will not be crowded together and it will be too messy."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled and said: "Master Hongqing's method is good, just listen to him."
Fang Jian nodded, then waved his hand, and saw a stream of mana flashing, and a brand new wooden house was built in an instant.
Then Fang Jian walked out of the house and began to return the remaining fifteen emperors one by one.
