This time, the Buddhist immortals and gods clearly understood what it means to be trapped in a cocoon. They and the Taoist sect joined forces to prevent Fang Jian from being in charge of the Tiantiao priesthood. However, they did not expect that the Jade Emperor would directly seal Fang Jian to Xiniu Hezhou.
Then it is better to let him continue to be in charge of Tiantiao! The Buddhists wanted to repent, but when they saw that all the Taoist immortals and gods were observing their noses with their eyes, their mouths with their noses, and their hearts with their mouths, they ignored their instructions at all.
Now the Buddhist immortals and gods have reason to suspect that they may have been tricked by the combination of Heaven and Taoism.
In fact, the Taoist immortals and gods are also murmuring in their hearts at this moment. The Jade Emperor's arrangement is so unexpected. Even if you go out and tell others that the Taoist sect and Heaven are not working together to deal with Buddhism, the Buddhist immortals and gods will not believe it.
But it was impossible for them to go out and ask the Jade Emperor to take back their orders with the Buddhists. Not to mention that it would be embarrassing to do so capriciously, and the place where Fang Jian was appointed was Hezhou, Xiniu. What did it have to do with their Taoism?
"Report to the Great Heavenly Lord." Fang Jian spoke at this time, and all the eyes in the Lingxiao Palace looked towards him.
Just listen to Fang Jian ask: "Qi Tianzun, can I enter the immortal class now?"
"..." The immortals and gods were speechless, and the Jade Emperor smiled and said, "That's enough."
"Thank you, Great Heavenly Lord." Fang Jian bowed, then turned and walked into the ranks of first-grade immortal officials.
"Congratulations to Master Hongqing for his promotion."
"Master Hongqing, congratulations."
"congratulations."
The surrounding immortal officials congratulated Fang Jian one after another, and Fang Jian also thanked them one by one.
Then Fang Jian stood in the immortal class and looked at the Jade Emperor above the mysterious dome.
At this time, I heard the Jade Emperor call again: "Where is Wen Tianxiang, the former Shangshu of Hezhou Tianjun Mansion in Xiniu?"
Fang Jian was startled when he heard the name, Wen Tianxiang? !
The next moment, a reply sounded in front of Fang Jian. Fang Jian looked up and saw a middle-aged man wearing a first-grade immortal official robe, as thin as a crane, with a handsome and elegant face, a long beard hanging down his chest, and an awe-inspiring look. The Confucian scholar came out.
"My minister, Wen Tianxiang, pays homage to the Jade Emperor." Wen Tianxiang bowed and paid homage.
The Jade Emperor looked at Wen Tianxiang and said: "Wen Tianxiang, from now on, Fang Jian will succeed you as the Shangshu of Xiniu Hezhou Tianjun Mansion, and you will move to the post of 'Kaochengjun' in Taishi Immortal Capital. You will also be the first-grade immortal official of Yuan Dynasty to assist Daojun." The Mysterious Girl of the Nine Heavens tests the merits of all sentient beings and spirits."
When Wen Tianxiang heard this, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Wen Tianxiang, accepts the order!"
After Wen Tianxiang thanked the Jade Emperor again, he returned to the immortal class.
Then the Jade Emperor said again: "The Chief Envoy of Taixuan Province."
When Emperor Qinghua heard the Jade Emperor's call, he immediately walked out of the immortal class again and said, "I am here."
The Jade Emperor said: "The Heavenly Court has been abolished. The placement of the heavenly judges in the Heavenly Court must be arranged as soon as possible. Their positions can only be promoted, not demoted. Also, Fang Jian has left the post of Inspector of the Three Realms, and this position also needs to be filled as soon as possible. .”
Emperor Qinghua of the East Ji bowed and worshiped: "I sincerely obey the decree of the Great Heavenly Lord."
Finally, the Jade Emperor looked at the heavenly, Taoist, and Buddhist immortals and gods in the Lingxiao Palace: "I have attained the position of 'Lord of Infinite Tribulations,' and I feel that there are many gods, immortals, and people in this world who are stubborn and ignorant, and that there are many tribulations in the world." .So the poor way is the big one
The magic power transforms the calamity power into the "Jie Jade" in the present world. From now on, no matter the pills, weapons, formations, talismans, or spells in the three realms, if they are not blessed by the power of the Jie Jade, they will not be able to receive spiritual responses, and they will not be able to reach the heavens. . "
After the Jade Emperor finished speaking, the Taoist Taishang Laojun waved his dust and repeated the Jade Emperor's words: "Fusheng Boundless Heavenly Lord: From now on, regardless of the methods of elixirs, weapons, arrays, talismans, and spells in the three realms, without the blessing of the power of the Tribulation Jade , then none of them will be able to receive spiritual responses, and none of them will be able to understand the laws of heaven."
Then the Tathagata Buddha clasped his hands together and sang "Namo Infinite Life Buddha" loudly. Like Taishang Laojun, he repeated the above paragraph.
The next moment the Heavenly Dao responded, the way of the Tribulation Jade was thus settled. From now on, whether it is refining elixirs, refining weapons, setting up formations, drawing talismans, or calculating spells, as long as there is no blessing from the power of the Tribulation Jade, no power will be exerted.
This is equivalent to another rule set by the Jade Emperor in the way of heaven, and it is a rule made in the capacity of the 'Lord of Infinite Tribulation'.
Although the gods of heaven, Taoism, and Buddhism were very surprised by this, it was not difficult to understand. It is obvious that after the Jade Emperor attained the position of 'Lord of Infinite Tribulation', he had the ability to make all the gods and gods in the three realms join him. The calamity is eliminated.
The way to eliminate calamity is for the Jade Emperor to use great magic power to turn all the calamity power in the world into 'Jade Jade', and then let the immortals and gods use and consume it.
When immortals and monks use the Jade Jade, they must use their own magic power to activate the Jie Jade. Then they are using their own power to convert the Jie Power in this Jie Jade into the power they need.
When the tribulation power in this piece of tribulation jade is completely transformed, this piece of tribulation jade will disappear.
But if you think about it carefully, this method is indeed good. The previous merit transaction itself was a stain on the word merit, but that was a method that had to be decided before, because the gods always had to have their own 'currency'. Can't we still use gold and silver money to trade?
Moreover, it is difficult to measure the value of bartering, and unnecessary disputes often arise. Therefore, after the Yankang disaster, the rules of merit transactions were temporarily set.
Now that merit trading has been abolished, tribulation jade is used instead, which can not only eliminate tribulations, but also serve as a currency for measurement and transactions. It can be said that it follows the general trend and is a matter of great merit.
Finally, the Jade Emperor Tianzun said: "After the next court, you can all return to Yaochi and continue to participate in the Peach Conference. I will send the 'Liangliangyuan' to carry the calamity jade to Yaochi to exchange for the immortals. Part or all of the existing merits can be exchanged for 'Tribulation Jade', five hundred merits can be exchanged for one Tribulation Jade, and the exchange will end after thirty-six days in the Earth calendar, at which time the merit transaction will be completely terminated."
After saying that, the Jade Emperor lowered his eyes slightly and stopped talking.
At this time, Taibai Jinxing stepped out and sang loudly: "At the end of today's court, all the immortal officials and immortal gods will exit the Lingxiao Palace in order!"
Upon hearing this, all the immortal officials and gods immediately bowed in unison and said, "I wish the Jade Emperor great longevity and blessings."
Then all the immortal officials and immortal gods withdrew from the Lingxiao Palace one after another. Only Taozu, Buddha and Taibai Jinxing remained in the Lingxiao Palace.
After leaving the Lingxiao Hall, all the immortal officials immediately let go of their arrogance, especially the Queen Mother of the West. She flew directly into the sky on Qingyun, and then bowed to all the immortal officials, Buddhas, and immortal gods: "Fellow Taoists, Yaochi The Amyrlin Throne is still there, please give Pindao a small favor and finish this Peach Conference before going back."
Upon hearing this, the Daluo and Xianzhen of the Taoist sect and the Daluo and Bodhisattva of the Buddhist sect all bowed their heads to the Queen Mother of the West and said, "How dare we disobey the Queen Mother of the West, given her kindness?"
Afterwards, all the Daluo, Immortals, Bodhisattvas, Arhats and Immortal Officials once again took up their Dharma chariots and headed towards the West Kunlun Yaochi.
In front of Lingxiao Palace, in the blink of an eye, only Jiutian Xuannv and Fang Jian were left. Fang Jian stood alone on the cloud platform outside Lingxiao Palace, and then bowed to Jiutian Xuannv who had not left in the sky: "Great Lord Lord... Lord Dao, aren’t you going to Yaochi yet?”
Fang Jian almost called out the "Great Envoy" out of habit, but fortunately, he quickly remembered that Jiutian Xuannv was now one of the five emperors, the "Dao Lord" in charge of the Taishi Immortal City.
Jiutian Xuannv smiled slightly, looked at Fang Jian and asked: "Fang Shangshu, how does it feel to be promoted?"
Fang Jian was slightly startled when he heard this, then smiled and said: "Go back to Dao Lord and get promoted to two levels in a row, it's very cool!"
Jiutian Xuannu smiled softly, "You are indeed a fan of officials. Well, I actually had other plans for you at the beginning. Unfortunately, God's plan is not as good as man's plan... But the Great Heavenly Lord's plan is better. You must work conscientiously in the future. Don’t let down the high expectations of the Great Heavenly Lord.”
Fang Jian's expression became solemn, and he immediately bowed and said, "Yes, I would like to follow the teachings of Lord Dao."
Jiutian Xuannu nodded with a smile, and then said: "In that case, I will go to Yaochi first."
Fang Jian quickly bowed and said, "Best farewell to Lord Dao."
Seeing Jiutian Xuannv's jade chariot slowly disappearing into the sky, Fang Jian withdrew his gaze, then turned around and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, a voice came from in front of the gate of Lingxiao Palace: "Master Hongqing, please stay."
Fang Jian turned around and found that the person who came was Taibai Jinxing, the special envoy of the Jade Emperor, so he stopped and cupped his hands and said, "Old angel, you called me?"
The amiable and amiable Taibai Jinxing, who had an immortal spirit, came forward, bowed his hands to Fang Jian with a fly whisk in his hand, and said, "Master Hongqing, the Jade Emperor asked me to tell you that there is no need to rush to Xiniu Hezhou Tianjun Mansion to take up the post, and wait for Yaochi." It’s not too late to go after the conference is over.”
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately bowed to the Lingxiao Palace and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Jian, obeys the order."
After Fang Jian finished praying, Taibai Jinxing said again: "Also, the Jade Emperor asked me to tell you again that the Jade Emperor's Dao Calendar given to you not only allows you to be free from the constraints of heaven, but also that you hold this treasure , actions are also not restricted by official rank, but the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Lord has specifically told Master Hongqing that you should try your best not to damage the distinction between superior and inferior officials in the Heavenly Court."
When Fang Jian heard this, his mind suddenly started to spin. The Jade Emperor asked Taibai Jinxing to tell these words. The most important thing was obviously not the last sentence, but the previous one.
Actions are not restricted by official rank, which means that if you hold the Jade Emperor's Taoist calendar to do things, you don't have to look at the face of your superiors and listen to their orders. But this point was not stated explicitly by the Jade Emperor in the Lingxiao Palace. The following sentence told him not to damage the distinction between the upper and lower heavens. It meant that he had to try his best to take care of the face of some bosses or immortal officials who were higher than himself. , Don’t make it too rigid, but this point is obviously not important. If it were important, there would be no need for the Jade Emperor to let Taibai Jinxing send a message to inform him of the second privilege of the Jade Emperor’s Taoist Calendar.
In other words, what the Jade Emperor meant was to tell himself the two privileges of the Jade Emperor's Taoist calendar completely and clearly, so that he could 'make a big difference' in Xiniu Hezhou.
After thinking about it, Fang Jian once again bowed his hands to Lingxiao Palace and said, "My lord, I sincerely obey the orders of the Jade Emperor!"
Therefore, now that Fang Jian holds the Jade Emperor's Taoist Calendar, he has two additional privileges: First, his actions are not bound by heavenly rules. Second, he acts without any restrictions or restrictions from his superiors!
This is called: The Jade Emperor’s Charter, the Double Standard of Destiny!
