November 18th in the terrestrial calendar is the winter solstice.
Tianshi Mansion, Longhu Dojo.
As the saying goes, "The winter solstice is as big as the new year." Holding a Dharma conference on the winter solstice shows how much Fang Jian attaches to this Dharma conference.
Early in the morning, all the disciples from the Tianshi Mansion who were at the Nascent Soul realm and above came to the Dragon and Tiger Dojo outside the Dragon and Tiger Hall, and entered the Dragon and Tiger Dojo one after another after the disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Hall inspected the Dragon and Tiger Talisman.
After entering the Longhu Dojo, all the disciples began to salute and greet each other, then they chose a seat and sat down cross-legged, chatting and waiting for the Dafa session to begin.
At the same time, the Great Heavenly Master Palace.
The great Celestial Master Zhang Huan, who turned four years old after the New Year, has grown a lot. Not only does he speak very eloquently, but he also starts walking on his own and rarely lets his mother hold him.
All this is due to the teachings of Yingxiutang, and Zhang Huan has now begun to practice and has entered the most basic level of Qi training.
At this moment, Zhang Huan stood blankly in front of an ice jade mirror. His mother, Liu Ji, was carefully dressing him in Taoist robes and crowns.
It's just that the Taoist robe on Zhang Huan's body seemed a little tight at this time, and part of his wrists and ankles were exposed.
Liu Ji looked at this scene and said with emotion: "The clothes are too small, Huan'er grows up so fast."
Zhang Huan said at this time: "Mom, can you not wear a hat? I feel uncomfortable wearing it."
Liu Babble said with a smile: "Huan'er, this is the Taiqing fish tail crown, which is the law of the Tianshi Mansion. It shows the majesty of the Tianshi and is a model of correct laws and regulations. It must be worn."
"But it's very uncomfortable to wear. I'm always worried that it will fall off." Zhang Huan said.
Liu Ji said: "That's because your hair hasn't grown yet. When your hair grows, you can tie it up and wear a crown."
"Oh..." Zhang Huan nodded and stopped talking.
Not long after, a child came in from outside the hall, bowed and said: "Mrs. Qi Chong, the Great Celestial Master, and the disciples participating in the great Dharma assembly have all arrived. Master Hongqing has arrived at the Longhu Dojo and is waiting for the Great Celestial Master. Come."
When Liu Ji heard this, he immediately said to Zhang Huan: "Huan'er, let's hurry up. Master Hongqing and all the senior brothers have already arrived."
Then Liu Ji sped up his movements, and after finally dressing up Zhang Huan, he boarded the jade chariot.
Then four True Immortal Realm attendants from the Liu family walked on both sides of the jade chariot, used their magic power to hold up the jade chariot and quickly headed towards the Dragon and Tiger Dojo.
In the Dragon and Tiger Dojo, Fang Jianzheng stood together with Lu Zhiqing, the elder of the Dragon and Tiger Temple, Yu Zhixia, the elder of the Zushi Temple, and seven state and city officials, and they seemed to be talking about something.
I only heard Fang Jianchao say to the seven leaders: "Judging from the figures reported in the city newspapers next year, a total of hundreds of thousands of newborns will be born in the seven states between March and April next year. You must be prepared. After the end of this Dafa conference, all All pregnant women, Tianshi Mansion
We all need to take good care of ourselves. Having enough food and clothing is the most basic thing. Also, elixir refining should be stepped up in the Tianshi Mansion. Starting from January next year, 10,000 female disciples from the Tianshi Mansion will be selected to go down the mountain, bring elixirs with them, and specifically deliver babies to these pregnant women. "
Several people present didn't understand why Fang Jian valued these mortals so much, almost to the point of taking care of their children with the same level of care.
However, I don't understand, but I don't understand that they really have to implement Fang Jian's instructions seriously.
Then everyone responded in unison: "Follow the law and decree."
At this moment, the boy outside Longhu Dojo sang loudly: "The Great Heavenly Master has arrived."
Then all the disciples stood up, Fang Jianye, Yu Zhixia and others stood on the dojo.
When Liu Ji took Zhang Huan's hand and walked down from the jade chariot and entered the Longhu Dojo, all the disciples present bowed and said: "Greetings to the Great Heavenly Master and Madam."
Only Fang Jian just bowed his hand and bowed. Strictly speaking, although he held the authority of Tianshi Mansion, he was not a disciple of Tianshi Mansion.
Therefore, he saluted just out of respect for the Great Heavenly Master.
"Master Hongqing." Liu Bao brought Zhang Huan to Fang Jian and bowed his hands. Fang Jian returned the salute to Liu Bao, and then said to Zhang Huan, "I have seen the Great Heavenly Master."
Although Zhang Huan didn't see Fang Jian much, he still met him more than ten times this year, especially during the Dharma Conference. Although he was not too familiar, he was not too unfamiliar either.
"Hello Mr. Hongqing." Zhang Huan said in a childish voice.
Fang Jian smiled slightly, and then said to Liu Ji: "Madam, please sit down with the Great Heavenly Master."
Liu Ji nodded, and then took Zhang Huan to the Dragon Tiger Dojo and sat down in front of the first jade case.
After Liu Ji and Zhang Huan sat down, Zhang Huan asked in a low voice: "Mom, why are they sitting on the ground and we are sitting on chairs?"
Hearing this, Liu Ji smiled and said, "Because you are the Great Heavenly Master."
Zhang Huan said: "I know I am the Great Heavenly Master. They all say that I am the biggest in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, right?"
Liu Ji nodded and said, "Of course."
Zhang Huan asked again: "Who is the biggest between me and Master Hongqing?"
Liu Ji was startled, and then said: "Of course you are the oldest."
Zhang Huan pondered for a moment after hearing this and said, "Then everyone seems to listen to Master Hongqing and not me..."
"..." This question confused Liu Jiwen. At the same time, she quickly raised her head and glanced at Fang Jian, hoping that Fang Jian would not misunderstand.
But Fang Jian just stood there with a smile on his face. When he saw Liu Ji staring at him, he said to Zhang Huan: "Great Heavenly Master, when your shoulders can carry hundreds of millions of living beings in the Haolan Realm, they will I will listen to you now.”
Zhang Huan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked: "Master Hongqing, what are the billions of living beings in the Haolan Realm? When will I be able to carry them? Are they heavy?"
Is it heavy? Everyone present fell silent. Of course it was heavy. It was a weight that the ancestors of the Tianshi Mansion had not been able to bear for several generations.
Fang Jian just smiled and replied: "To an ordinary man, it is as light as a feather. To a great heavenly master, it is as heavy as a mountain."
Zhang Huan didn't speak anymore because he had to imagine how heavy the mountains were.
Fang Jian turned around and said to the more than 3,000 core disciples of the Tianshi Mansion present: "The Winter Solstice Dharma Ceremony begins now!"
...
"There are three resolutions in this Winter Solstice Dharma Conference, all related to the future of the Tianshi Mansion and the Haolan Realm. The first resolution is: establishing the way of humanity." Fang Jian announced.
"humane?"
"What is humanity?"
"I dare to ask Master Hongqing, what is humanity?"
The disciples heard the concept of 'humanity' for the first time, so they all asked Fang Jian.
This is the rule set by Fang Jian for the Dafa Conference. If there is anything you don’t understand at the Dafa Conference, you can ask it immediately, and the person being asked must answer it.
Fang Jian raised his hand slightly, and all the voices immediately fell silent, and then only Fang Jian said: "Humanitarian: 'Save the dying and heal the wounded, reject evil and promote good, establish morality, be faithful, benevolent, and be upright and not ungrateful. In the middle of the struggle, you should respect Heaven and the Dharma Patriarch, and achieve perfection. This is the way of humanity."
Fang Jian also said: "Once the way of humanity is established, it is the purpose of eliminating desires internally and controlling demons externally."
After Fang Jian explained this, everyone understood a little better. To put it bluntly, humanity is to promote all good virtues to educate the people.
But unlike ordinary education, humanity is a path that requires all mortals to keep walking along this path and carve all the good qualities into their bones, just like religion, but not a religion.
At this point, a disciple stood up and bowed, and then asked: "May I ask Master Hongqing, is there anyone in this world who can practice the way of humanity and spread it to all generations?"
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Yes, but not in this world."
The disciple asked curiously: "Master Hongqing, what are their origins? Are they the same as our Haolan world?"
Fang Jian shook his head and said: "No, they are not the same as the human race in the Haolan Realm. Although they are also people created by Empress Nuwa, they are extremely special in the entire Three Realms."
The disciple became more and more curious, and asked again: "May Master Hongqing tell me."
Fang Jian smiled and said: "They are Yanhuang nobles, the seed of gods."
"Yanhuang nobleman, the seed of the gods!"
When everyone heard these two words, they were greatly shocked in their hearts. Yanhuang and the others did not understand, but they did understand the Seed of Gods. What kind of atmosphere would it be like for a human race that could be called the 'Seed of Gods'? ?
All human beings in the three realms were created by Nuwa, but only the clans of Nanzhanbuzhou and Fangjian's hometown in the great world of Jamfu have the title of "Yanhuang nobles, the seeds of gods".
Why? Because in this family line, such great saints as the Five Elders of the Five Directions, the Four Heavenly Masters, and the Eight Immortals of Shangdong were born.
Therefore, Fang Jian said to the surprised disciples in front of him: "Yanhuang nobles, the seed of gods, are the embodiment of human nature to the extreme."
"So, Master Hongqing, is this the way of humanity that you want to establish?" asked Yu Zhixia, the elder of the Patriarch Hall.
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Yes, but to establish the Way of Humanity, a teacher of Humanity must be selected, and this Master of Humanity must be selected from among everyone present."
As soon as these words came out, everyone here started to get excited. Who doesn't want to be this teacher of humanity? That will leave a reputation as a teacher of humanity for generations to come.
But just when all the disciples were eager to give it a try, Fang Jian opened his mouth and poured cold water on it: "May I ask all the fellow Taoists here, which one of you has a moral character that can meet the humane standards I mentioned earlier?"
This question immediately silenced everyone present. They asked themselves, they can't do it!
"Let's vote on the issue of 'Establishing Humanity' now." Fang Jian said.
Establishing the Way of Humanity is of great benefit to the Tianshi Mansion. The Way of Humanity can help the Tianshi Mansion fight against the real demons of the outside world, but it belongs to two different paths from the Tianshi Mansion, so they are not mutually exclusive.
Therefore, all votes were passed regarding the establishment of human rights.
"The matter of establishing the Way of Humanity was passed by vote. The specific matters will be issued later by an edict. Now we proceed to the second resolution. This resolution was proposed by Yuan Zhongying, the director of Zhaolie Prefecture of Tianshi Mansion: the resolution to go out to the west."
After Fang Jian finished speaking, the entire Longhu Dojo began to discuss.
The resolutions of the Dafa Conference are proposed by all disciples who are qualified to participate in the Dafa Conference. Then Fang Jianhui selects several resolutions that need to be voted on and vote on them at the Dafa Conference.
If it is something that does not require a vote, a reasonable Fang Jian will directly approve it and issue an edict for implementation.
But the decision to go west proposed by Yuan Zhongying really surprised everyone, even Wang Zhonghu and six others.
Going west means that we must immediately start a war against the real demons of the outside world, and it is obvious that the current Tianshi Mansion is not ready yet.
Therefore, as soon as this proposal came out, Wang Zhonghu immediately stood up and said: "No! Now that the Master's Mansion is under the leadership of Master Hongqing, everything has just gone on track and is prosperous. We must not fight with the heretical demons at this time. Go to war or everything will be ruined."
There are many people who hold the same views as Wang Zhonghu. They all stood up to express their opinions, and without exception, they were all opposed.
Finally, the vote began. The resolution to go west received only a little over a hundred votes, and the remaining nearly three thousand votes were against it.
Then Yuan Zhongying's proposal was sealed by Fang Jian, and the proposal that was rejected at the Dafa meeting could not be enacted.
As for Yuan Zhongying, he was not surprised. He had known that this proposal would probably be rejected, so he did not give any explanation and remained silent from beginning to end.
After Fang Jian sealed Yuan Zhongying's resolution, he took out the third resolution: "The third resolution was proposed by Tong Yanfei, a second-generation disciple."
When Fang Jian reported this name, the disciples below immediately looked at a young man in the Yangshen realm.
Tong Yanfei was excited and happy at the moment, but a little shy under the attention of all the brothers. However, he still felt a huge sense of happiness and accomplishment coming to his heart when his proposal was selected by Master Hongqing.
"Tong Yanfei's proposal is: a system of good deeds."
Later, Fang Jian explained to everyone that the so-called good deeds system is a system implemented within the Tianshi Mansion. Any good deeds performed by disciples of the Tianshi Mansion can be recorded. By virtue of their good deeds, disciples can redeem all the elixirs, treasures, and even Taoism they need at the Tianshi Mansion.
At the same time, this good merit system also mentions one point, that is, whether it is the Taoism of the Great Heavenly Master or the Assistant Heavenly Master, it should be used as the inherited Taoism of the Tianshi Mansion, rather than the Taoism of one family and one surname, and should be taken out. Let the disciples redeem it with good deeds.
When Fang Jian finished explaining, the entire Longhu Dojo fell silent for a moment, including Yu Zhixia, Lu Zhiqing, Wang Zhonghu and others, as well as all the disciples, all looked at Fang Jian.
Of course, another set of eyes also fell on Fang Jian, and that was the eyes of Liu Bao, the mother of the Great Heavenly Master Zhang Huan.
If most of the disciples' eyes were filled with expectation and bewilderment, then Liu Ji's eyes were filled with deep repulsion and vigilance.
Of course, the most anxious person was Tong Yanfei. At this moment, he no longer looked excited or happy, because he knew deeply that it would be fine if his proposal passed, but if it failed, his future end would be foreseeable.
Not to mention others, first of all, the three disciples of Fu Tianshi's lineage will bear his grudge, and the mother of the great Tianshi above, Liu Ji!
His proposal directly touched the interests of the four Celestial Masters. Once the Taoism of the four Celestial Masters is taken out for all disciples to practice, what else is special about the four Celestial Masters? Is there any status?
But Fang Jian didn't worry so much. After a brief pause, he said: "Let's vote!"
