"Reporting to the Minister, the elder of the Bukong Temple, the monk Kongming, pays homage." A god general walked into the Hongde Hall and bowed to Fang Jian.
Fang Jian raised his head, his eyes slightly surprised, "Bu Kong Temple?"
At this time, Luo Tao, the capture general on the side, explained: "Bukong Temple is the first Buddhist temple in the Sharo Kingdom and the main altar of ten thousand temples in the Sharo Kingdom. This Kongming divine monk is one of the elders of the Bukong Temple and is also the leader of the northern temple. One of Buddha's disciples."
After speaking, Luo Tao also added: "It's the Golden Immortal Taoism."
"Oh?" Fang Jian heard this and immediately released his spiritual thoughts. Sure enough, he noticed a golden immortal energy outside Xitian Mansion, so he said, "In that case, please invite the monk Kongming to come to Hongde Hall."
"Yes." The god general responded.
Then the deity in the hall began to arrange the throne, jade case, spiritual fruit and spiritual tea for the monk Kongming.
Not long after, Kongming Divine Monk followed the general into the Hongde Hall. As soon as he entered Hongde Hall, Kongming Divine Monk's eyebrows moved slightly, and he immediately locked on the person who was sitting just below the throne of Tianjun. Fang Jian.
Fang Jian also had a trace of Golden Immortal Qi exuding from his body, and Kong Ming was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that Master Hongqing had also picked the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit. It seemed that the Golden Immortal Divine Mind that glanced at him just now was from him. Not Youde Tianjun?
Thinking of this, the holy monk Kongming immediately stepped forward, came to the hall steps, clasped his hands towards Fangjian, bowed and said: "Amitabha, poor monk Kongming, pays homage to Master Shangshu."
Fang Jian sat on the steps of the palace, raised his right hand to form a sword finger, then placed the sword finger upwards in the middle of his chest a foot away, aligning the fingers with the tip of his nose, bowed his upper body slightly forward and said in return: "Fellow Taoist Kongming, you are polite, please take a seat."
The ceremony that Fang Jian just performed is the "Ji Shou Ceremony". There is also another kind of Ji Shou Ceremony in which one kneels on the ground and kowtows, which is called "Ji Shou Ceremony". But in heaven and the three realms, all interactions between gods and monks use the former's "Ji Shou Ceremony", which is a "regular ceremony".
"Thank you, Minister, for giving me the seat." After thanking Kongming, he turned around and sat down on the throne under the guidance of the general.
Fang Jian looked at Kongming and asked, "I wonder why the monk Kongming came to Xitian Mansion?"
"Oh." Kong Mingchao said to Fang Jian: "Master Hongqing, the poor monk was ordered by the abbot of Bukong Temple to come to inquire about the crimes of Guangfa Temple Yehua and others."
Fang Jian heard this and said, "So that's it. Guangfa Temple is a branch of Fu Kong Temple?"
Kongming shook his head and said: "No, but all Buddhist temples and Zen monasteries in the Sharo Kingdom are based on Bu Kong Temple, and Fu Kong Temple is in charge of the laws and regulations of all Buddhist temples and zen monasteries in the Sharo Kingdom."
Fang Jian nodded and said: "I understand. In other words, all Buddhist temples and Zen monasteries in Shaluo Kingdom must obey the decree of Fu Kong Temple?"
"You can say that.
"Kong Ming nodded and said.
Fang Jian nodded and said: "Ye Hua and others are currently only guilty of indulging the disciples to harm living beings, and blaspheming the power of God."
Kong Ming couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard this. If it was just these two items, then it wouldn't be a big problem.
Thinking of this, Kong Ming immediately bowed to Fang Jian and said, "I have a heartless request for you, I would like to ask Master Hongqing for your permission."
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Kongming, please speak."
The monk Kongming said: "This poor monk would like to see the monks of Jianguangfa Temple. Please ask Master Hongqing for permission."
Hearing Kong Ming's words, the capture and killing general on the side couldn't help but be startled, and then looked at Fang Jian.
When Fang Jian heard this, he smiled very simply and said: "It's easy to say, easy to say. My empty-name Taoist friend wants to visit the prison. How can I not allow him to come?"
A god general walked in and bowed to Fang Jian: "Here you are."
Fang Jian pointed at Kong Ming and said, "Take Taoist monk Kong Ming to Heavenly Prison to visit the monks in Yehua."
The Heavenly General sang aloud, then came to Kongming and said: "Kongming Divine Monk, please follow me."
The monk Kongming didn't expect Fang Jian to agree so simply. After being stunned, he stood up immediately, bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Thank you Master Hongqing."
Watching the Kongming divine monk leave Hongde Hall with the general, Fang Jian asked the general who was catching and killing him: "Who built the Heavenly Prison?"
Luo Tao, the general who captured and killed him, was startled when he heard this, and immediately said: "Returning to Shangshu, the Tiangongyuan is responsible for the construction of all the Tiangong, Tianjing and other things in the four Tianjun Mansion."
Fang Jian nodded, "I understand."
Afterwards, Fang Jian quickly drafted a memorial, and then called a scribe, asking him to immediately submit the memorial to Taixuan Capital Province.
Although Fang Jian himself could have submitted the memorial directly to Taixuan Capital Province, that was what Shu Ling Shi was for, so there was no need to leave it unused.
Soon, Fang Jian's memorial was placed in front of Yin Xi's case. After reading the memorial, Wenshi wrote two lines of words on the memorial with a purple gold cinnabar pen. The first line was 'read', The second line is 'accurate'.
Then Wenshi Zhenren also summoned a Shu Ling Shi from Taixuan Capital Province and handed the memorial to Shu Ling Shi and said: "Send it to Tiangong Academy of Taixuan Bureau."
Shu Lingshi took Fang Jian's memorial, then respectfully responded: "Yes."
After another cup of tea, this memorial was placed in front of Gonghe Zhenren, the president of Tiangongyuan. In fact, it was no longer a memorial at this point, but a legal edict.
Fang Jian is a first-grade immortal official, and the president of Tiangongyuan is a second-grade immortal official. Only in Taixuandu Province can Fang Jian's memorials be called memorials.
"Oh?" Master Gonghe picked up the imperial edict and looked at it, his face suddenly changed slightly, "Master Hongqing wants to expand the Xitianfu Heavenly Prison?"
Immediately Master Gonghe stood up, and then said to the outside of the palace: "Quickly send Master Lu, the young prisoner, to see me."
A boy sang quietly from outside the hall, and a moment later, an immortal official wearing a fifth-grade immortal official robe, with rough and dark skin, but a glint in his eyes, and a whole body full of 'motivation' walked in.
This person is Lu Ban, one of the eight young eunuchs of Tiangongyuan. "Master, did you call me?" Lu Ban asked after entering the main hall and raising his hands to Gonghe.
Master Gonghe looked at Lu Ban's old official robe, and even the color on the robe was almost faded.
Master Gonghe said helplessly: "Master Lu, please change into a new official robe. Our Tiangong Institute has no shortage of robes. How long have you been wearing this official robe?"
Luban said: "It seems to be three thousand years ago, right?"
"Three thousand years!" Master Gonghe's eyes widened, "Don't say it is just a robe of the Yang God Realm. Even if the robe of the True Immortal Realm has been worn for three thousand years, it cannot withstand such wear and tear. I will go get it later. A new official robe."
Lu Ban smiled sincerely and said: "I have more than a dozen new official robes in my house, but I haven't worn them yet. I am a carpenter, so why should I wear such new official robes? The old ones are still comfortable."
Master Gonghe was speechless and said: "But if you go out like this, others will say that I, the master of the hospital, abused you."
"No, no." Lu Ban smiled and sat down on a chair nearby, "Master, do you have tea?"
Master Gonghe raised his hand and pointed at the teapot on the table to the right of Lupine and said, "There is some in there. Pour it yourself. Why, are you very thirsty?"
Lu Ban sighed and said: "Tai Shang Laojun sent the boy from Tushita Palace over and asked me to help him make a 'Yimu Qinghua Lotus Platform'. It was made in the alchemy room. It was so hot to death."
Master Gonghe said with a surprised look on his face: "Yimu Qinghua Lotus Platform? Lao Jun is so grand. Yimu Qinghua is a good thing, but why are you still doing it in the alchemy room?"
Lu Ban poured a cup of spiritual tea and said, "Well, I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of making a lotus platform to take out a few pieces of Yimu Qinghua leftovers and cut a string of beads. Unfortunately, Taishang Laojun has great supernatural powers. Maybe he saw me. He asked me to do it in the alchemy room, and the leftover materials were directly thrown into the alchemy furnace by the boy and burned."
After saying that, although Lu Ban felt a little regretful, he still smiled and said: "But my hard work is not in vain. The Supreme Lord gave me a newly released golden elixir."
"Oh?" Master Gonghe's eyes lit up and he said, "What pill?"
Lu Ban smiled and said: "Yi Mu Qing Hua Dan is a golden elixir specially used to practice Mu Xing Dao."
"Isn't that just right for you?" Master Gonghe said with envy: "Laojun's golden elixir, you are so lucky."
Lu Ban smiled and then asked: "By the way, Master, did you ask me to come?"
"Oh." Master Gonghe handed the edict to Lu Ban and said: "Master Hongqing wants to expand the Xitianfu Heavenly Prison, so you should go to Xitianfu."
When Lu Ban heard this, he suddenly said with surprise: "Expanding the Heavenly Prison? Isn't it enough that the Heavenly Prison is so big?"
Lu Ban had reason to be shocked. He was responsible for the construction of the four heavenly monarchs' mansions at the beginning, and he knew how big the heavenly prison was.
Congratulations to the master but he was not surprised at all, "That's Master Hongqing, and it's in Hezhou, Xiniu. It's normal that there is not enough."
Lu Ban sighed and said: "Okay, but to expand the Heavenly Prison, we need to build the Juetong Formation, so Pang Shaojian has to go with us. I can't build the entire Juetong Formation by myself."
The Shaojian Pang mentioned by Lu Ban, also known as 'Pang Degong', is a genius who is proficient in formations.
Master Gonghe nodded and said: "Okay."
So, Lu Ban and Pang Degong set out for Xitianfu. They had to go there first to conduct on-site survey and drawings, and only then would the Tianjin Institute of Technology transport the personnel and materials responsible for the construction. The buildings in Heaven are not ordinary buildings that can be transformed at will using mana, but buildings with hundreds of large and small functions such as defense, small barriers, spiritual collection, transportation, and town closures, so they must be professional. People build it.
...
Just when Lu Ban and Pang Degong rushed to Xitian Mansion, Kong Ming had already met Ye Hua and others and returned to Hongde Hall.
"Master Hongqing." After Kong Ming saw Fang Jian, he immediately said to Fang Jian: "Yihua and the others are willing to use their own merits to offset their sins."
When Fang Jian heard this, he felt calm in his heart. Since this decision was made, this kind of thing will definitely happen.
If you can use your merits to offset your crimes, why should you suffer in this prison in Xitian Mansion?
Fang Jian said calmly: "Using merit to offset crimes is one of the rules set by the Great Heavenly Lord, so there is no problem. But their crimes have not been found out yet, and they will be offset together after they are found out."
Kongming couldn't help but ask after hearing this: "Then when will the crimes of Master Hongqing, Yehua and the others be revealed?"
Fang Jian smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Kongming, there is no need to ask more questions. Xitian Mansion will notify you after the investigation is complete."
Kongming asked again: "May I ask Master Hongqing, how will uu read the book?"
Fang Jian's eyes narrowed, and then he said: "I will set up a 'Xuanming Monument' outside the Baituo Temple in Xitian Mansion. At that time, fellow Taoists can come to the Xuanming Monument to check the announcement of Xitian Mansion."
"I see, thank you Master Hongqing for clearing up the doubts." Kong Ming bowed respectfully.
At this time, a divine general walked in from outside Hongde Hall and reported: "Reporting to the minister, two young eunuchs from Tiangongyuan have arrived."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately said: "Please sit down in the side hall of the two young eunuchs for a while, and I will go later."
"Yes." The god general responded.
Seeing this, Kong Ming immediately stood up and said: "Master Hongqing is busy with his affairs, so I won't disturb him and leave here."
Fang Jian nodded and said: "Okay, fellow Taoist Kongming, walk slowly to catch and kill the general. You can send one off to fellow Taoist Kongming for me."
"Yes." Luo Tao, the general who captured and killed him, responded respectfully.
After Kong Ming left, Fang Jian immediately got up and went to the side hall.
