"The Great Master is going all out with force! To attack only a few thousand pirate cultivators from the East, he actually dispatched half a million heavenly soldiers!" Several Taoist immortals stood on the shore of the East China Sea, looking at the turbulent East China Sea, and one of the female immortals said.
The surrounding loose immortals were silent after hearing this, and then another male immortal said: "I'm afraid that annihilating the rogue cultivators is just a pretense, and the purpose is to show off the power of heaven."
"Where will the great envoy use his troops again?" Another Sanxian asked.
The female fairy who was the first to speak said: "I heard that the monarch of the Tang Dynasty in Nanzhan Continent intends to destroy Buddhism. I am afraid that the great envoy will take this as an opportunity to drive Buddhism out of Nanzhan Continent again?"
"Does Buddhism agree? If a war breaks out, it will be another earth-shattering battle between immortals and Buddhas." A monk said with concern.
At this time, a male immortal complained; "Heaven has become more and more domineering in recent years. Although Heaven controls the three realms, doesn't it just control the sky? The creatures in the earth, land, and heaven have their own two families, Buddha and Tao." The disciples teach on their behalf, so why must the Heavenly Court be firmly controlled by oneself?"
"Dominate the three realms and centralize power." A casual cultivator said in a deep voice.
The monks sighed in despair and listened to the female immortal say: "There is less and less freedom in this world."
"How about going to Zhenyang Taoist Palace and have a look? I heard that Patriarch Sanyang inherited Laojun's decree, and the Tao he taught includes Xiaoyao Taoism. If this is true, why don't we join?" A monk suggested.
The cultivators paused for a moment after hearing the words, and then suddenly said: "Yes, I have heard of it too."
"Since this is the teaching taught by the Supreme Lord, you might as well go and take a look!"
"Let's go, I'll go there."
...
On the other side, Zhenyang Dao Palace also began the forty-nine-day process of offering sacrifices to heaven, worshiping gods, and apologizing for sins.
Patriarch Sanyang took the lead and led the first, second, third and fourth generations of disciples to set up a Dharma altar at the main altar, and then worshiped Nuwa and the statues of the heavenly gods whom they had spread rumors about, and kowtowed one by one to apologize.
When the news spread, all the Taoist monks in Dongsheng Shenzhou who had not yet joined the Zhenyang Taoist Palace were shocked.
First, he was shocked that Zhen Yang Dao Palace was so courageous, and second, he was shocked that Zhen Yang Dao Palace had done so many things in private.
And if you think about it more carefully, you will find that except for the Nuwa Empress, the people in Zhenyang Dao Palace who spread the most rumors and slander are all the immortals in heaven.
This is tantamount to saying that Zhenyang Dao Palace is confronting the Heavenly Court, but what everyone is confused about now is why Zhenyang Dao Palace suddenly apologizes?
But soon, those Taoist cultivators guessed that Zhenyang Taoist Palace's sudden apology to heaven must be related to the capture of the Eastern Pirate Cultivator by the 500,000 Heavenly Soldiers.
Could it be that Heaven has mastered the evidence of Zhenyang Dao Palace, so it declares its power and kills chickens to scare monkeys, in order to frighten Zhenyang Dao Palace?
Thinking of this, many Taoist cultivators in Dongsheng Shenzhou admire and sympathize with Zhenyang Dao Palace, but they dare not come forward to speak for Zhenyang Dao Palace, let alone join Zhenyang Dao Palace at this time.
But this does not affect everyone's good impression of Zhenyang Dao Palace. First, Zhenyang Dao Palace is a Taoist temple, and it also worships Laojun. Second, the only stain on Zhenyang Dao Palace is the slander of Nuwa. As for the slander of the gods in heaven, everyone is of course happy to hear about it.
Of course, what was even more shocking were the Taoist monks from Xuantu Temple, Yuhua Temple, and Shaoyang Mountain who had fled to Gushan.
They had no idea that the decline of the incense in the temples in the mortal world, as well as the rumors about Nuwa and the immortal gods in heaven, were actually caused by Zhenyang Daogong.
"There is no doubt that this person is a heretic and a true demon!" Yan Haiping, the leader of Yuhua Temple, said.
Zhao Yangqing, the leader of Xuantu Temple, said: "What about the fact that Lao Jun appeared and taught the Dharma? If this person is really a heretic demon, how can Lao Jun sit back and watch the heretic demon disturb the mortal world?"
Li Xuan, the master of Shaoyang Mountain Temple, said: "Lao Jun is the moral incarnation of Taoist ancestors. Speaking of the real demons of outsiders, they are also the creatures within the Tao. There are demons within the three thousand Tao. How can Lao Jun interfere? Besides, the three Yangs If the Patriarch is really a heretic and a real demon, then
It is a disaster that God has brought upon Dongsheng Shenzhou. If it is a disaster, we still have to overcome it on our own. "
The three of them were talking when a burst of voices came from outside, and then a female voice sounded outside: "The three temple masters, Master Zhu Shan, are waiting for the three temple masters in the main hall of Gushan to discuss the construction of the Wahuang Temple and the Jade Temple." Matters about the Imperial Temple.”
When the three heard the words, they heard Zhao Yangqing say: "Okay, please tell Master Zhu that I will come later."
Master Zhu Shan, referring to Zhu Yuanzhang, informed Yan Haiping and Xue Qingxia of the situation here after Lu Xuansheng recovered from his injury and returned to Yuhua Temple.
Therefore, the people at Yuhua Temple are the most friendly towards coming to Gushan. After all, these 'mortals' on Gushan once saved their elder's life.
Moreover, there are also decrees passed down by Laojun, so everyone feels that these 'mortals' on Gushan may be extraordinary, especially Master Zhu Shan and his 'descendants'. The cultivators cannot see through the secrets in them at all.
...
Heavenly Court, Tianjun Hall.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady was sitting in the hall, and the emperors, marshals, and generals were standing in the hall. Naturally, Nezha was also standing among the ranks of marshals.
As for Fang Jian, he is a fifth-grade heavenly judge. He is naturally ranked after the four major captains and is considered the lowest person in the palace.
"To the great envoy, these are the memorials sent by the Zhenyang Taoist Palace in the lower realm to pray at the altar." The master of the Tongcheng Academy, Xihua Zhenren, and the three judges of the Tongcheng Academy each came with a bunch of memorials. There was a report in Tianjun Hall.
Jiutian Xuannv didn't even look at it, she just said calmly: "Seal them all."
"Follow the law." Master Xihua bowed and accepted the order.
Immediately, Jiutian Xuannv said: "I have heard that the envoy from Taixuan City came to Tianjun Hall to see me."
"Yes." The boy responded crisply, then turned and left Tianjun Hall.
Not long after, Yin Xi, the envoy of Taixuan Capital Province, Wen Shizhen, came to the main hall, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Yin Xi, pays homage to the great envoy."
Jiutian Xuannv said: "The edict was drafted in the name of Taixuandu Province: Yin Yang, Youyang and Qinyang of Zhenyang Taoist Palace have great morals. They have taught hundreds of millions of sentient beings in Dongsheng Shenzhou. Their merits are unparalleled and they are indeed models of great virtues in Taoism. , a model of the Three Realms and Ten Directions. Tai Xuan all considered his merits and gave him: 1,000 spiritual jades, 100,000 flying spirit pills, 1 million pieces of top-grade gold talisman and silk paper, and 10,000 top-grade embryos of magical artifacts. One hundred top-grade alchemy furnaces, five thousand top-grade plain wine elixirs, one hundred thousand thousand-year-old elixirs, ten thousand collars of top-grade robes and woven rosy robes, ten thousand top-grade Dzi beads and jade belts, and one five-thousand-year-old arowana One hundred tails, three thousand Ten Thousand Years Sea Spirit Pearls, one hundred thousand sticks of top grade Qingshen Sandalwood, five thousand kilograms of top grade Hanzhi Spiritual Tea, one thousand true immortal level flying boats, fifty thousand kilograms of top grade Fire Spirit Purple Sand..."
After Jiutian Xuannu finished reading these rewards, the entire hall fell into a dead silence.
Nezha counted on his fingers, then turned back and sent a message to Fang Jian: "These things are worth ten million merits."
Fang Jian couldn't help but be speechless, but after Master Wen Shi finished recording, he said, "Great Envoy, is that all?"
Jiutian Xuannv said: "Yes, send people quickly to transport the rewards and go to Luhu Mountain to declare the edict."
Master Wenshi bowed his head and said, "Follow the law and decree."
After Master Wen Shi left, Nezha stood up and said, "Great Envoy, this reward is too much, isn't it? It's such a waste!"
Jiutian Xuannvqing smiled and said: "Reward? It's just a temporary storage in a different place for a few days."
After speaking, there was a slight cold light in her phoenix eyes, and she opened her sandalwood mouth again and said slowly: "If you want to take something, you must give it to me first."
