Xitian Mansion, Bai Tuo Heavenly Palace, and beyond the Heavenly Prison.
After drinking spiritual tea and chatting, Fang Jian, Lu Ban, and Pang Degong came to the outside of the Heavenly Prison for on-site inspection.
Compared with Lu Ban's honest and honest character, Pang Degong seems very funny, and he also has a great Confucian style.
"I have three requirements for the expansion: First, there must be a palace at the front of the Heavenly Prison, which should be as tall and majestic as possible. Secondly, after the expansion of the Heavenly Prison, it must be able to accommodate at least 100,000 people. Thirdly, there must be more buildings inside the Heavenly Prison. Set aside a vast area where spiritual trees and fairy grass can be planted." Fang Jian said to Lu Ban and Pang Degong.
Lu Ban wrote down all three of Fang Jian's requests, and then asked Fang Jian: "Master Hongqing, I can understand the first two points, but this last point...Does Xitian Mansion still want to plant spiritual trees and fairy grass?" ?”
Pang Degong said from the side: "Perhaps Master Hongqing is afraid that those imprisoned in the heavenly prison will be bored."
Fang Jian laughed and said, "Young Master Pang is right. I can't keep them in this prison for nothing. I have to find something for them to do."
Pang De said fairly: "I heard that in Xiniu Hezhou, many monks, monsters and even Buddhist disciples do not have their own caves, because Xiniu Hezhou is relatively barren, and the caves and blessed lands are occupied by those powerful ones."
Fang Jian nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed like this, that's why I want to expand the Xitianfu Heavenly Prison. Not only can it provide them with an excellent place to live, but it can also allow them to plant spiritual trees and fairy grass to cultivate their sentiments. Let them feel the compassion and warmth of my Xitian Mansion."
When Pang Degong heard this, he immediately stood in awe and said: "Master Hongqing has a compassionate heart. I believe the monks in Xiniu Hezhou will be grateful."
"I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes. I just want to give the monks in Xiniu Hezhou a place where they can shelter from the wind and rain, exchange Taoist teachings, and cultivate their sentiments." Fang Jian said slowly.
Hearing Fang Jian and Pang Degong talk about a prison in such a noble way, Lu Ban couldn't help but said: "According to what you two think, the best way out for monk Xiniu Hezhou is to go to prison?"
"Hey!" Fang Jian clapped his hands and said, "What Lu Shaojian said is very good. I like it very much."
"It makes sense, it makes sense." Mr. Pang Degong couldn't help but nodded seriously.
Then the three of them walked around the Heavenly Prison again. When they returned to Hongde Hall, Lu Ban had already drawn the entire expansion drawing.
"So fast?" When receiving the blueprint handed over by Lu Ban, Fang Jian looked at the extremely complicated blueprint with a look of astonishment on his face.
Then he gave a thumbs up to Lu Ban and said, "You are indeed Lu Ban! He is truly worthy of his reputation." After saying that, Fang Jian handed the drawings back to Lu Ban and said, "Just build according to the drawings."
But Lu Ban was even more surprised. He looked at Fang Jian in surprise and said, "Master Hongqing, you finished reading the drawings so quickly?" He clearly saw that Fang Jian only glanced at him.
Sure enough, it is Master Hongqing. No wonder he is appreciated by the Great Heavenly Lord. He can understand his own drawings with just a glance. This is simply a genius among geniuses!
But soon he heard Fang Jian say: "I can't understand, but I believe in your ability, Master Lu Ban."
"..." Lu Ban looked blank.
After Lu Ban came to his senses, he and Pang Degong walked aside to discuss the drawings and how to set up the Juetong Formation.
Fang Jian smiled slightly, sat down and said, "Serve tea to the two masters of Tiangongyuan."
...
However, he said that he had returned to Bukong Temple in an empty name, and after reporting the situation he had found out to Sang Mojie, Sang Mojie immediately asserted: "Master Hongqing said he wanted to investigate the crimes of Ye Hua and others, but the Nine Cave Master and others The person has been beheaded, how can Master Hongqing investigate? According to the poor monk, Master Hongqing does not want to let Ye Hua and others go for the time being, but he cannot break the rule set by the Great Heavenly Lord that merits offset sins. So we can only delay it on the basis of 'unclear' reasons."
After Sang Mojie finished speaking, Golden Eagle Dharma King said solemnly: "I didn't expect that this person has already harvested the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, and now he is even more difficult to deal with."
There was a silence in the meditation room, and then he said in vain: "Master Hongqing wants to set up a 'Xuanming Monument' outside Bai Tuo Temple, and will write the announcement about Yehua and the others on the Xuanming Monument in the future."
Kong Yan on the side said: "I think it's better for us to go to the Bai Tuo Heavenly Palace together, find Master Hongqing to ask for someone, and force him to let Yehua and the others offset their sins with their merits."
"That's not appropriate." The fourth elder, Kong Xiu, said: "You are no longer unfamiliar with what kind of person Master Hongqing is. The more we force him, the less likely he is to let him go. Instead, he may give him some leverage. Take action against my Fukuji."
"Are we still afraid of him?" Kong Yan said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Don't forget, this is Xiniu Hezhou."
Kong Xiu said: "Of course this is Xiniu Hezhou, the land of my Buddhist sect. But what Hongqing Zhenren represents is not himself, but Heavenly Court. Unless our Buddhism and Heavenly Court completely go to war, with our strength, we really can't defeat Hongqingzhen How are people?"
"Junior Brother Kongxiu is right." Kongming said: "Right now, the Buddhas in Lingshan are promoting Daotian Tower to enter the world. When the time comes, Daotian Tower will go to fight with Master Hongqing. We only need to sit firmly on the Zen platform."
Kongming's words were unanimously recognized by everyone present. It would be reckless and not worth it to directly confront Xitian Mansion now.
So Kong Xiu said at this time: "Brother Abbot should pass down the decree and order all Buddhist temples and Zen monasteries in Shaluo Kingdom to strictly restrain the demon cultivators who have been converted in the sect, and they will never do anything that hurts any living beings, no matter whether they are human beings." , even if it’s a demon.
You must never give Master Hongqing any excuse to attack my Buddhist temple and disciples. "
Sang Mojie glanced at Kong Xiu, then nodded and said, "That's good."
Then Sangmojie passed down an extremely strict decree, ordering Buddhist temples and monasteries everywhere to strictly observe the rules and precepts without any mistakes.
After delivering the decree, Kong Ming asked Sang Mojie: "Brother Abbot, then Yehua and the others..."
Sang Mojie sighed slightly and said: "Now we can only wait and see how long Master Hongqing wants to delay."
Upon hearing this, the Golden Eagle Dharma King on the side smiled softly and said: "Brother Abbot, in fact, if you want to get Ye Hua and the others out of Xitian Mansion, there is one person who is most suitable, and the possibility of success is very high."
"Oh?" Sang Mojie looked at Golden Eagle Dharma King in surprise and said, "Who is the person that junior brother is talking about?"
The Golden Eagle Dharma King smiled and said, "I wonder, Brother Abbot, have you ever heard of 'Mrs. Jingluo'?"
"Mrs. Jingluo?" Sang Mojie frowned, and then said, "Could it be Mrs. Jingluo from Nilluo Mountain?"
Sang Mojie knew very little about Mrs. Jingluo. He only knew that she was a goddess who practiced Jinxian Taoism. However, this person only practiced in Nilluo Mountain all year round and was rarely born, so her origin and background were unknown to others. known.
Even the three elders Kong Yan, Kong Ming, and Kong Xiu looked at Golden Eagle Dharma King in confusion and said: "What's so special about Mrs. Jing Luo? Why can she get Ye Hua and others out of Xitian Mansion?"
Golden Eagle Dharma King smiled faintly and said: "You brothers and junior fellow apprentices don't know that this poor monk once had some friendship with Mrs. Jingluo and also knows her origin and background. You must not have thought that this Mrs. Jingluo is Xitian Fuyou. Detianjun’s biological sister when she was a human in the mortal world.”
"Oh!!!" Everyone in the meditation room widened their eyes when they heard what Golden Eagle Dharma King said.
"Is this true?" Sang Mojie asked hurriedly.
Golden Eagle Dharma King nodded and said: "It is absolutely true. When Heavenly Lord Youde was not practicing cultivation, he had a half-sister, Mrs. Jingluo. There is a sad story to tell. ..”
Then Golden Eagle Dharma King began to tell the story about Mrs. Jing Luo. It turned out that Mrs. Jing Luo and Youde Tianjun had a very good relationship when they were brothers and sisters. But later, Heavenly Lord Youde was inspired by destiny to gain insight into his wisdom and the sufferings of all living beings in the world. He was also enlightened by immortals and knew that there were heavenly courts and immortal officials who dominated the three realms.
So Youde Tianjun determined to practice hard and become an immortal official to save all sentient beings and stabilize living beings. After careful consideration, the young Youde Tianjun decisively decided to abandon the worldly world and enter Taoism to practice.
In this way, the young Youde Tianjun left the wealthy and harmonious family with a letter and embarked on the path of ascetic cultivation of merit and Taoism, and has been missing ever since.
Youde Tianjun's running away from home was a huge blow to the entire family. His parents experienced pain for a long time, and finally had to give up after they were sure that Youde Tianjun could not be found.
Especially the younger sister who had the closest relationship with Youde Tianjun. After her brother ran away from home, she didn't think about food or tea, and spent the next ten years depressed and missing her brother.
Although her parents later gave birth to a son, it was difficult for her to integrate into the family with a new brother.
As time passed, the sister's longing for her brother turned into resentment, resentment about why he ran away from home without saying a word, and why he left her so cruelly.
Finally, the resentment became deeper and deeper, and she almost became a demon. Fortunately, an ascetic appeared and woke her up just when she was about to become a demon.
And from the mouth of this ascetic monk, she learned about the immortal way, so she came up with an idea. Since brother, you are going to seek the immortal way, then I will go too. If you succeed in learning, I will also succeed in learning, then we will eventually meet met!
At that time, I will ask you personally why you did that! Are you worthy of your parents and me?
So, she begged hard and finally became a disciple of the ascetic monk and officially embarked on the path to immortality.
Although the ascetic who led her to Taoism has long since died, she has finally become the 'Mrs. Jingluo' she is today through unremitting practice day after day and year after year. Five thousand years ago, Became a golden immortal.
At that time, she also knew that her brother was the Heavenly Lord of Xitian Mansion, so she went directly to Xitian Mansion. It is said that she even had a fierce battle with the heavenly generals, divine generals and even Youde Tianjun of Xitian Mansion.
No one knows how the brother and sister reconciled later, but since then, Mrs. Jing Luo has never been to Xitian Mansion, and often lives in seclusion, focusing on cultivation and not caring about other things.
After hearing Mrs. Jing Luo's past story, everyone present couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Kong Ming said: "With Mrs. Jing Luo's connections, it might not be difficult to get Ye Hua and the others out."
Sang Mojie nodded slightly, then shook his head and said, "But how do we get Mrs. Jing Luo to go to Xitian Mansion to ask for someone on our behalf? This is a difficult problem."
"Yes, although we don't know how the two brothers and sisters reconciled, it can be seen that Mrs. Jing Luo has not been to Xitian Mansion for so many years. The knot in her heart has not been completely resolved. If we want to ask her to come forward, Go to Xitian Mansion and beg her brother to let Ye Hua and others go..." Kong Xiu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid no one can do it."
Golden Eagle Dharma King couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Don't worry, everyone, this is actually very simple."
Everyone immediately looked at the Golden Eagle Dharma King, and then urged: "Junior brother, don't try to hide yourself, come and tell me quickly."
Golden Eagle Dharma King said slowly: "Actually, Senior Nephew Yehua and Madam Jing Luo are close friends. When Madam Jing Luo first entered Xiniu Hezhou, when she encountered danger several times, it was Senior Nephew Yehua who came to help, so Madam Jing Luo and Senior Nephew Yehua We have a close friendship with each other. As long as you tell Madam Jing Luo about the arrest of Junior Yehua by Xitian Mansion, Madam Jing Luo will naturally go to Xitian Mansion to ask for him without me waiting for him."
"That's it!" After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but smile and clapped their hands and laughed.
Then Sang Mojie said with a smile: "That's it, Junior Brother Golden Eagle, I want to invite you to take a trip to Nilluo Mountain this time."
Golden Eagle Dharma King put his hands together and bowed: "Yes."
Kong Yan, Kong Xiu, and Kong Ming all had smiles on their faces, and then Kong Xiu said: "Youde Tianjun's sister, and Youde Tianjun, wonderful! Wonderful! Let's see how Master Hongqing does this time. Decided."
...
Nilluo Mountain is a mountain that is not high and dangerous. Because the terrain is very low, and Mrs. Jingluo often travels with clouds to spread rain, attracting and nourishing spiritual energy, Nilluo Mountain is more prosperous than Bukong Mountain. many.
Especially on the Nilluo Mountain, many spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses were planted by Madam Jingluo. Looking from a distance, the entire Nilluo Mountain is colorful and the trees are lush, just like a spiritual realm.
Madam Jing Luo had no disciples, no boys, and no accompanying maids. She lived alone in Nilluo Mountain, and she did everything herself, whether it was planting flowers or grass.
If we use the words from Fang Jian's hometown to describe Mrs. Jing Luo, she is a homely fairy who likes to plant flowers and grass and practice cultivation.
At this moment, Mrs. Jing Luo, the house fairy, was holding an exquisite and small flower hoe. She was wearing a month-old Russell suit. Her long black hair was tied up on her head, and she was also wearing a green and flowing flower hoe. The hairpin stands in the sea of flowers that I have worked hard to plant.
When the Golden Eagle Dharma King rode the fairy cloud to the sky above Nilluo Mountain, Mrs. Jingluo immediately raised her head, revealing her little jade face with picturesque features, and looked up at the fairy cloud outside Nilluo Mountain. go.
I saw Dharma King Golden Eagle standing on top of the clouds. He bowed to the Niluo Mountain below and said, "Is Fellow Taoist Jingluo here? I'm a poor monk, Golden Eagle, and I'm here to pay my respects."
Madam Jing Luo used her bare hands and saw a ray of fairy light flying up into the air carrying incense and flowers, opening the barrier outside Nilluo Mountain. Then Madam Jing Luo's clear and melodious voice like an oriole came out: "Here, Golden Eagle Fellow Taoist, please come in."
