Yuzhou Prefecture is located seven hundred miles south of Yanliu City, on Purlin Green Mountain.
Flying eaves, purlins, carved and painted buildings, and jade-staired corridors surrounded by clear clouds.
Not as beautiful as the Penglai Immortal Mountains, it is also the Xiaoyao Palace on earth.
This is the Purlin Mountain, the blessed land of cave heaven, the holy land in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Longevity Palace is located on this mountain.
The master of the Wanshou Palace, Master Mingqing, sat cross-legged quietly in the Wanshou Palace, with a group of disciples from the Wanshou Palace behind him.
"Master!" The eldest disciple of the Xuanxian Realm knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "You should leave quickly!"
The disciples behind the eldest disciple also begged: "Master, leave quickly!"
But Master Mingqing remained indifferent, which made the disciples very anxious.
I only heard the eldest disciple say: "Master, Master Na Hongqing destroyed all the Dragon King's family in Chaohu Lake and was ruthless. If you don't leave, he will definitely ask you for punishment!"
"Yes, Master, how can you give up your hundreds of thousands of years of practice just because of Xiao Jue?"
All the disciples tried to persuade him, but Master Mingqing never said a word or responded.
Just when all the disciples were anxious, a disciple from the Nascent Soul Realm came running out of the main hall and said: "To report to Patriarch Qi, Master Qi and all the uncles, there is a Taoist named Zhenren Hongqing coming from outside the mountain gate. He said I want to see my ancestor, his old man
. "
"What?!" After hearing the disciple's report, the faces of the eldest disciple and others changed drastically. The eldest disciple asked, "How many people are there?"
The disciple said: "There is only Master Hongqing."
The second disciple heard this and said, "Go back to Master Hongqing and tell him that the Patriarch is not in the temple. Please come back in two days."
The disciple immediately accepted the order without any hesitation and said: "Yes."
But at this moment, Master Mingqing, who had been sitting there, said, "Slow down."
"Master!" All the disciples hurriedly gathered around him.
However, Master Mingqing waved the dust in his hand and said in a firm and serious tone: "Please step back and don't say any more."
When the disciples saw this, they immediately did not dare to say anything. After a moment of hesitation, they retreated to both sides of the hall.
Then Master Mingqing adjusted his Taoist robes and said to the disciples: "Follow me to greet me."
"Master! No!" The disciples were startled and quickly tried to dissuade him.
But Master Mingqing glared and said, "Are you going to disobey Master's order?"
All the disciples were shocked and hurriedly bowed their heads and said, "Disciples don't dare."
Master Mingqing glanced at the disciples, then turned around and walked out of the Longevity Hall. The disciples looked at each other, but in the end they had no choice but to follow Master Mingqing.
In front of the mountain gate of Wanshou Palace, there are jade pillars and carved towers, lush spiritual flowers, prosperous spiritual trees, cranes flying in the sky, mountain apes roaring on the ground, flowers flying and butterflies dancing, and streams gurgling. The beautiful scenery is so prosperous that it is dizzying to see.
Fang Jian stood in front of the gate arch of Wanshou Palace, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him. At this moment, his face was soft, showing a rare gentle temperament.
When he was young, he suddenly heard a sound of bells ringing from the mountain gate. Fang Jian turned around and saw an old Taoist priest from Taiyi Xuanxian Taoism, Xianfeng Taoist bones, crane shape and clear face, leading a group of Taoist priests from Xuanxian and True Immortal realms. Walked out of Wanshou Palace.
Then the old Taoist priest led all the Taoists to the gate of the mountain, came to Fang Jian and bowed his head and said: "I, the poor Taoist, the master of Wanshou Palace, Xian Qing, pays homage to Master Hongqing."
Fang Jian's soft face disappeared in an instant and turned into a cold one. He returned the gift to Master Mingqing without saying a word, nodded to him and walked straight into the Longevity Palace.
The disciples of Master Mingqing suddenly looked unhappy, but they did not dare to get angry. Only the eldest disciple of Master Mingqing stepped forward and said: "Where is Master Hongqing going? As disciples of Wanshou Palace, we can help Master Hongqing." Lead the way.”
Fang Jian stopped, glanced at the eldest disciple, and then said calmly: "No need."
After saying that, Fang Jian continued to walk into the Wanshou Palace. The disciple turned back with a look of displeasure and helplessness, and said to Master Mingqing: "This Master Hongqing didn't put me in the Wanshou Palace at all." In the eyes.”
Master Mingqing ignored the indifference of the disciples and entered the Wanshou Palace, right behind Fang Jian.
...
Fang Jian came to the Tianshi Hall of Wanshou Palace, which is the main hall dedicated to Xu Xun and Xu Tianshi.
Master Mingqing led the disciples into the Tianshi Hall, and saw that Fang Jian had lit three sticks of incense, bowed to Xu Tianshi's shrine, and then inserted the three sticks of incense into the incense burner.
Seeing Fang Jian's actions, Master Mingqing's disciples were puzzled, but Master Mingqing immediately lifted up the front of his robe and slowly knelt in the center of the hall.
"Master! You..."
Seeing Master Mingqing's behavior, the disciples were extremely shocked, but soon they saw Master Mingqing kowtow on the ground, shouting: "Disciple Mingqing, please apologize to the ancestor!"
After Fang Jian put the three sticks of incense in place, he stepped aside, then his eyes fell on Master Mingqing, and then looked at the throne of Master Xu Xun and Xu Tianshi.
The next moment, Xu Tianshi's throne suddenly erupted with a bright golden light, and then the golden light flew directly up, manifesting a tall and majestic figure covered in golden light in the curls of green smoke.
When all the disciples saw this figure, they also knelt down and worshiped on the ground, calling them 'the Patriarch'.
This is the 'Sage Manifestation', also commonly known as the 'Appearance of the Patriarch'. Wanshou Palace belongs to Xu Tianshi's lineage, and naturally these disciples have seen their Patriarch appear before.
After Xu Xun showed his sage, he first nodded towards Fang Jian, and then asked Master Mingqing on the ground: "Xianqing, do you know your sin?"
Master Mingqing kowtowed and said, "I know my sin."
Xu Xun said: "You doted on Xiao Jue, your selfishness brought disaster, and you recommended immortal officials through personal friends, which is why today's disaster happened."
Master Mingqing paid homage and said, "I am so selfish that I have harmed all living beings. I apologize to my ancestor and ask him to punish me."
Xu Xun asked: "Do you know that Master Hongqing can clearly condemn you directly, but why do you call me to descend from the mortal world to show my sage?"
Master Mingqing said: "My disciple is ignorant, please ask the Patriarch and Master Hongqing to show me."
When Xu Xun heard this, he looked at Fang Jian aside.
Fang Jian said: "On that day, eleven golden dragons were killed during the execution in Chaohu Lake. The blood of the golden dragons flowed throughout the waters three thousand miles downstream of Chaohu Lake. Countless creatures on land and in the water drank the dragon's blood and were born with spiritual wisdom. I believe it. Soon there will be a large number of monsters and beasts appearing in the three thousand miles of Chaohu Lake. This will cause harm to the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. In order to atone for your mistakes, I will punish you to patrol the three thousand miles of Chaohu Lake day and night for a hundred years. Within one hundred years If no one suffers a disaster due to the 'Dragon Blood Cause', you can redeem yourself in a hundred years. If within a hundred years, any mortal suffers a disaster and dies due to the 'Dragon Blood Cause', then this sin will be counted on you. On the head, he will be punished with this crime one hundred years later."
After speaking, Fang Jian looked at Master Mingqing with blazing eyes and said, "Do you dare to take this position?"
Master Mingqing raised his head, first bowed to Fang Jian, and then looked at Xu Xun and said: "My ancestor, in order to atone for his sins, Mingqing is willing to take up the task of patrolling the waters of Chaohu Lake for three thousand miles, teaching monsters and protecting the area. . If there is any mistake within a hundred years, the disciple is willing to be severely punished for several crimes."
Xu Xun nodded and said, "Good."
Then Fang Jian sent a Heavenly Court Heavenly Law Talisman to Master Mingqing and said: "Bring the Yuan Shen on the Heavenly Law Talisman, and then put the Talisman into the Yuan Shen."
Master Mingqing did as he was told, and finally put the Fu Zhao into Yuanshen.
After Tianlu Fuzhao entered the Yuanshen, a golden light suddenly illuminated the entire Master Mingqing's Yuanshen, and turned into golden qi machines that were implicated in Master Mingqing's Yuanshen.
Xu Xun then admonished Master Mingqing and the disciples of Wanshou Palace, thanked Fang Jianji, and then said goodbye and took back the art of manifesting the saints.
After Xu Xun left, Fang Jian also left the Wanshou Palace without saying anything more than six words to everyone in the Wanshou Palace.
