Thirty-sixth level of heaven, Daluotian, Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.
"The Great Heavenly Lord declares the decree of the Western Heavenly Mansion's Minister Fang Jian and comes to the palace to see him."
".Xuanxi Tianfu Shangshu Fangjian came into the palace to pay an audience."
".Fang Jian comes to the palace to see you!"
This time Fang Jian's visit to Lingxiao Palace was different from the past, because this time Fang Jian of Lingxiao Palace used the gift passed down by him to show his favor.
The rituals of Lu Chuan were first conveyed by Taibai Jinxing to the Jade Emperor's decree, and then Fang Jian came to the Lingxiao Palace to pay his respects.
Then the Right Heavenly Lord of the Lingxiao Hall will deliver the decree and summon him to the throne.
Finally, the right guard general in front of the Lingxiao Palace delivered the decree and called for an audience.
The whole process is solemn, solemn and meticulous, and it is a great honor for the gods to be able to use the ritual of passing the ceremony when meeting the Jade Emperor.
After the entire ceremony was completed, Fang Jian tidied up his appearance, and then, led by two heavenly generals, he walked up the jade steps to the Lingxiao Palace, and then entered the Lingxiao Palace.
As soon as he entered the Lingxiao Palace, Fang Jian felt countless eyes with divine power falling on him.
But he remained unmoved at all. He just looked ahead and quickly arrived at the center of the Lingxiao Palace. Then he bowed to the majestic figure above and said, "I, the Minister of the West Heaven Palace, Fang Jian, pay my respects to the Jade Emperor."
The Jade Emperor looked at Fang Jian below with a smile on his face, nodded slightly, and then said: "Ping Shen."
"Thank you, Jade Emperor." Fang Jian bowed and thanked, then stood up straight.
At this time, the Jade Emperor raised his hand towards Taibai Jinxing and said: "Declaration of the imperial edict."
"Yes." Taibai Jinxing responded respectfully, and then stepped out of the clouds holding the decree.
"Chengtian responded to the decree of the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, Xuan Qiong Gao God: Xiniu Hezhou Tianjun Mansion Shangshu Fangjian, pacified the demon chaos, safeguarded the laws of heaven, suppressed the evil sects, and eradicated the evil laws. Although his career was short, his achievements were outstanding and he was famous in the three realms. , admired by four continents"
"I am very pleased that you have spread the power of Heaven across the continents, proclaimed virtue and transformed it into all living beings, followed the laws of Heaven, and worked hard day and night."
". If you have merit, you will be rewarded, if there is fault, you will be punished. Today, in order to express the merits, the special rewards are as follows: I will give you 50 million in merits and deeds, a Lingxiao jade robe and a collar, and the title of 'real person' in heaven. I will be the representative of the gods and all spirits. length."
It can be said that Fang Jian was extremely happy when he heard the Jade Emperor conferring a reward on him.
Not to mention the Lingxiao Jade Belt Robe, just like the Qingxia Jade Qilin Robe, its symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning, but the Lingxiao Jade Belt Robe is definitely more advanced than the Qingxia Jade Qilin Robe.
But the reward of 50 million meritorious deeds and the status of 'real person' can be said to be a real and generous reward. It goes without saying how heavy the 50 million meritorious deeds are.
Real person status is a very important thing, which means that Fang Jian has entered the ranks of 'Heavenly Gods'.
The word 'Hongqing' is the Taoist title given to him by the Nine Heavens Xuannv. Master Hongqing is the honorific title given to him by others. For example, the immortal official of Xitian Mansion will still call him 'Sir Shangshu'.
But since he obtained the status of 'Zhenren' in heaven, Zhenren Hongqing is no longer an honorific title, but a practical title.
From now on, the immortal officials of Xitian Mansion can call him either 'Master Shangshu' or 'Master Hongqing', because he has obtained the status of 'Real Man' in Heaven and is a true 'Moral Master'.
After Taibai Jinxing finished reading, the talisman edict immediately flew in front of Fang Jian, "Master Hongqing, take the order." Taibai Jinxing said with a smile.
Hearing this, Fang Jian immediately stretched out his hands to receive the decree respectfully, then bowed again and said, "Your Majesty Fang Jian, I would like to thank the Jade Emperor for the award."
At this time, many immortals in the immortal classes on both sides also raised their hands towards Fang Jian and said: "Congratulations to Master Hongqing."
Fang Jian repeatedly bowed his hands and thanked him: "Thank you very much, colleagues."
After a series of back-and-forth thanks, Fang Jian stood solemnly in the center of the Lingxiao Palace again, because he knew that the Jade Emperor did not let him step down, which meant that he still had something to ask him.
"Fang Jian." Sure enough, the Jade Emperor asked: "What plans do you have in Xitian Mansion next?"
Fang Jian's expression became solemn when he heard this, and he immediately reported: "To the Jade Emperor, I wish to unite with Buddhism to jointly stabilize Xiniu Hezhou."
Hearing Fang Jian's words, all the gods present looked surprised, uniting with Buddhism? If we remember correctly, you just destroyed a large Dharma sect, right?
But the Jade Emperor and the Five Emperors were not surprised at all. Instead, they looked at Fang Jian with surprised expressions.
The Jade Emperor asked again: "How do you plan to unite with Buddhism?"
Fang Jian said: "I want to follow the example of Pure Land Sect and Zen Sect of Buddhism and unite the seven major Buddhist sects to establish the Xiniu Hezhou Buddhist Association. The seven major Buddhist sects will send a Bodhisattva to participate, jointly establish the Tiangang Dharma and precepts, and standardize the Buddhist teachings. Law, completely and fundamentally put an end to the emergence of evil sects and evil laws."
Hearing Fang Jian's words, the gods in the Lingxiao Palace finally realized that this was not about uniting Buddhism. It was clearly to bring the entire Buddhism in Xiniu Hezhou into the supervision of Xitian Mansion.
Once the Xiniu Hezhou Buddhist Association is established, then Xitian Mansion can justifiably send supervisors to the major Buddhist temples in Xiniu Hezhou. By that time, every move of the entire Xiniu Hezhou Buddhist Temple will be exposed under the nose of Xitian Mansion.
"You really dare to think and do it." All the gods and gods present marveled at Fang Jian's courage.
If it were them, they might not have thought of the things Fang Jian did, but whether they could imagine it and whether they dared to do it and whether they could do it were completely different things.
If you let them make a choice, no matter how many opportunities they are given, they will still choose not to offend Buddhism.
After all, not everyone has Fang Jian's strength, and not everyone is as confident as Fang Jian, who is not afraid of offending a behemoth like Buddhism. If it were any other immortal, he would have already admitted defeat when the Eight Great Bodhisattvas used the Small Thousand Buddha Kingdom.
When the Jade Emperor heard Fang Jian's report, he nodded slightly, and then said to Taibai Jinxing: "In order to prepare the edict, the current Youde Tianjun of Xitian Mansion has been in Xiniu Hezhou for a long time. He is diligent and compassionate, and spreads all spirits. He has outstanding merits and virtues. Tianting specially expressed his merits by promoting him to Wenlin Siming, Tianshu Capital Province, and conferred the title of 'Zhenren'. The post of Tianjun of Xitianfu was concurrently held by Shangshu Fangjian with the rank of first grade, and he was officially promoted after he completed the business of Dongshentang. Feng Xitianfu Tianjun."
In the Lingxiao Palace, the gods looked at Fang Jian with complicated eyes.
In less than three hundred years, he has gone from an unknown land god to a heavenly king who holds power over a large continent.
Although he has not yet been officially promoted to the Super Immortal Official, the Jade Emperor's words have been spoken, and it is impossible to take them back. From now on, Fang Jian's position as the Heavenly Lord of Xitian Mansion is certain to be Fang Jian's.
The gods know the Jade Emperor very well. This boss usually doesn't take care of things very much, but if he wants to appoint you to do a big thing, then he will remove all obstacles for you and let you do it with confidence.
The example of Fang Jian at this moment can prove that in order to allow Fang Jian to implement his strategy in Xitian Mansion, the Youde Tianjun of Xitian Mansion was directly transferred back to serve in the Heavenly Court, and Fang Jian was allowed to serve as both Tianjun and Shangshu. Important position.
But to remove obstacles is to remove obstacles, and the Jade Emperor's compensation to Youde Tianjun can be said to be extremely generous.
First of all, none of the heavenly kings in the four major continents have achieved enlightenment status. Now the Jade Emperor bestows Youde Tianjun with the 'real person' status, and also gives Youde Tianjun the post of Wenlin Commandery of Tianshu Province. You must know this. This position was held by Yin Xi, the envoy of Zhi Taixuan Province, Wen Shizhen, and it was a position with great real power in the heaven.
This is the attitude of the Jade Emperor towards the immortal officials of Heaven. As long as you are willing to do things in the past and do not violate the laws of Heaven, Heaven will not treat you badly.
However, Fang Jian still holds a concurrent position now, because the position of the Four Heavenly Kings is a super-grade immortal official, while Fang Jian is only a first-grade immortal official now.
It would be easy to be promoted from a second-grade immortal official to a first-grade immortal official. The Jade Emperor could be promoted with just one word.
However, promotion from the first rank to the super rank is different. To be promoted from the first rank to the super rank immortal official requires studying in the Dongshen Hall for a long time. You can only be officially promoted after completing all the business in the Dongshen Hall and passing the examination.
This is also a rule set by the Jade Emperor, and it is naturally impossible to break it.
Therefore, Fang Jian can only serve as a first-grade immortal official and concurrently as a super-grade immortal official. If he does not graduate from Dongshen Hall, he will not be able to become a regular official.
The Dongshen Hall is equivalent to the university hall for the immortal officials in the heaven. All the immortal officials must pass this hurdle if they want to achieve the super-level leap.
And only by becoming a super-level immortal official can one enter the stage of a true heavenly king. Because as long as the super-grade immortal official does not violate the rules of heaven, only the Jade Emperor can determine your life and death, the honor and disgrace of your life and death, the Five Imperial Emperors and the Taixuan Province Chief Envoy can only remove you from your position, but cannot remove your rank, let alone Determine your life or death.
Therefore, it is impossible for the many gods and gods present not to be jealous of Fang Jian's promotion speed.
But they also understand in their hearts that Fang Jian's rapid promotion is entirely due to his personal hard work, and he is also stained with a huge amount of karma from Taoism and Buddhism. If you want others to learn from it, others will not be able to learn from it. Come.
Fang Jian looked excited and his eyes were full of surprise. He quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty Fang Jian, I would like to thank the Jade Emperor."
"Yes." The Jade Emperor nodded slightly, and then said: "Taibai Jinxing, you send Fang Jian to the Dongshen Hall to make his name."
"Follow the law and decree." Taibai Jinxing quickly bowed respectfully.
Then the Jade Emperor said to Fang Jian: "Fang Jian, after you register your name in the Dongshen Hall, you can return to Xitian Mansion to implement strategies. Whatever strategies you want to implement, as long as they do not cause turmoil in the mortal world, do not cause suffering to all living beings, and do not cause harm to the human world. In case of disasters, you can act boldly without reporting to Taixuan Capital Province or asking anyone for instructions. The Jade Emperor Dao Calendar I gave you has the right to kill first and report later, and is not restricted by any gods or heavenly laws."
When Fang Jian heard the Jade Emperor's authorization to him, he was surprised and moved. He immediately bowed and said: "I thank the Great Heavenly Lord for your kindness and trust. I will definitely remember the Great Heavenly Lord's teachings, work conscientiously and diligently, and work for the stability of the three realms and the welfare of all living beings." Dedicate yourself to the end of your life and die."
Afterwards, Fang Jian paid his respects to the Jade Emperor and left the Lingxiao Palace under the leadership of Taibai Jinxing, heading all the way to the Cave God Hall.
