When Ao Ren added enough cinnabar and rushed to Lingji Mountain to spread rain, he found that the water mist was flying in Lingji Mountain and the thunder and fire had been extinguished.
Ao Ren stood in the clouds and frowned. At this time, the judge of Yanlai Lake Mansion flew to Ao Ren and worshiped: "Master Fu."
Ao Ren looked at the judge and said, "Have you put out the fire?"
The judge quickly replied: "How can I have such ability? It was the "King of Jiangdu Guangyuan" who passed by this place and saw thunder and fire raging, so he spread rain and dew to put out the fire. "
"What?" Ao Ren was shocked when he heard this, "King Jiangdu Guangyuan? Where is he?"
The judge quickly pointed to the layers of golden clouds ahead and said, "It's just above that golden cloud."
After hearing this, Ao Ren said nothing, immediately arranged his appearance and flew forward, arriving above the golden cloud where King Fajiao of Jiangdu Guangyuan was.
"This is where Prince Jiangdu Guangyuan is stationed. Who are you?" As soon as Ao Ren approached Jin Yun, he was stopped by two true immortals and generals.
Ao Ren quickly bowed and said, "I am Ao Ren, the water god of Yanlai Lake. I heard that Prince Guangyuan was passing by here, so I came here to pay my respects."
After hearing this, the two god generals moved out of the way, "Since you are the water god of Yanlai Lake, please invite me."
"Thank you." Ao Ren thanked the two god generals, then stepped directly onto the golden cloud and came to the front of King Fajiao of Jiangdu Guangyuan.
A giant turtle is lying on the golden clouds, like a hill, and on the back of the giant turtle is a golden palace with misty auspicious clouds. There are divine generals guarding both inside and outside the golden palace, which is extremely majestic.
Although he did not see King Jiangdu Guangyuan, Ao Ren knew that King Jiangdu Guangyuan was sitting in the golden palace, so he immediately came to Juao and worshiped: "Ao Ren, the water god of Yanlai Lake, pays homage to King Jiangdu Guangyuan." .”
King Jiangdu Guangyuan, whose real name in the world is "Qu Yuan".
After Ao Ren saluted, a majestic voice slowly came from the golden palace: "Lingji Mountain thunder and fire are spreading, have you received the rain decree?"
Ao Ren's face condensed when he heard this, and he immediately bowed and said, "Please inform Prince Guangyuan that the little god was in retreat at the time and did not receive the decree. However, after hearing the news, the little god immediately ordered the judge of Shuifu to lead the water generals to come forward. He came here to stop the fire from spreading, and after he finished his work and came out of seclusion, he immediately rushed here to prepare rain to put out the fire, but unexpectedly, the thunder fire had already been put out by Prince Guangyuan's rain."
Having said this, Ao Ren immediately bowed his head and said, "Prince Guangyuan has boundless power, has a heart for the common people, and is compassionate. The little god admires him so much."
Faced with Ao Ren's compliment, King Jiang Du Guangyuan did not accept it, but said calmly: "The thunder and fire here has been extinguished, so you stay here to deal with the aftermath to prevent the thunder and fire from rekindling."
Ao Ren immediately bowed and said, "Yes, the little god will obey the law."
"Get off and go back to your home." After a while, a loud and majestic voice came from the golden palace, and the next moment the golden cloud where King Jiangdu Guangyuan's master was was began to move slowly, flying towards the east.
Ao Ren stood on the clouds and watched King Jiangdu Guangyuan's Dharma drive away. Then he turned around and said to the judge of Shuifu next to him: "You take the water generals and stay here to deal with the aftermath. Don't let the thunder and fire reignite."
The judge respectfully accepted the order, and then asked: "Does the decree of Nantian Mansion need to be reinstated now?"
Ao Ren said: "When I return, I will say that the thunder and fire of Lingji Mountain has been extinguished."
"Yes." The judge sang, but he became more and more disdainful in his heart. It was obviously Prince Jiang Du Guangyuan who put out the fire, but you want to resurrect yourself and take credit for your merits.
Any immortal official who receives the decree needs to return after completing the task, but Ao Ren obviously does not intend to explain the situation when he returns, but wants to take the credit for putting out the fire himself.
"He is confused." The judge secretly thought, taking the credit of Prince Jiang and Guangyuan? You are really brave.
After the judge accepted the order, Ao Ren returned to Yanlai Lake, and then the judge followed Ao Ren's instructions to return to Nantian Mansion.
But coincidentally, King Jiangdu Guangyuan had already reported to Nantian Mansion after he put out rain to extinguish the Lingji Mountain Thunder Fire. Therefore, when the letter of restoration from Yanlai Lake Water Mansion was delivered to Nantian Mansion, Xuanling Tianjun and Master Bai Zhen I have already received the talisman edict from King Jiangdu Guangyuan.
As one of the "Four Duyuan Kings", King Jiangdu Guangyuan is second only to the God of the Four Seas and is ranked among the "twelfth-class gods" among the super-grade immortal officials in heaven.
And Fang Jianhe's four major departments
Zhou Tianjun is ranked in the ranks of the "eighth-class gods" of the super-grade, so after King Jiangdu Guangyuan put out the fire, he naturally had to report to Nantian Mansion.
"King Jiangdu Guangyuan has just reported that the Thunder Fire of Lingji Mountain was extinguished, and the time for extinguishing the fire has been noted. Now Ao Ren, the water god of Yanlai Lake, has reported back, and the time is two moments later than King Jiangdu Guangyuan." Master Bai Zhen held it. Yanlaihu Water Mansion's memorial said.
Xuan Ling Tianjun, who is he? When he heard this, he immediately understood that there was something wrong with this, so he turned to the ultimatum envoy Xiang Yuan and said, "You lead your heavenly troops down to the realm and bring the water god of Yanlai Lake and the judge of the water palace to confront you."
The ultimatum messenger immediately came out, bowed to Lord Xuanling and said, "I will obey the decree of the law."
Ao Ren returned to Yanlai Lake Water Mansion. He had just sat in front of the Bagua furnace for less than an hour when he heard a commotion outside the hall, and then the judge of the Water Mansion and several water generals ran into the hall with pale faces.
Ao Ren suddenly stood up, but before he had time to scold him, he saw a heavenly general and dozens of heavenly soldiers with golden armor and golden helmets rushing straight into the hall.
"Ao Ren, the water god of Yanlai Lake." Xiang Yuan, the ultimatum messenger, walked up to Ao Ren and called out.
Ao Ren swallowed the scolding words in his mouth instantly, and then blinked his eyes. As an immortal official of Nanzhan Buzhou, he naturally knew Xiang Yuan, the envoy of Nantian Mansion. At this moment, his expression suddenly became cautious. He cupped his hands and said, "The little god is Ao Ren. I don't know what the envoy's instructions are."
Xiang Yuan said calmly: "The Heavenly Lord has a decree, and he orders you to go to Chiyun Tiangong immediately to see the emperor."
Ao Ren was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then the cold sweat on his forehead immediately flowed down. He swallowed a mouthful of fluid and asked, "I dare to ask the ultimatum envoy, what is the announcement of the emperor? Can you tell me something?"
But Xiang Yuan glanced at him indifferently, and then said: "I don't know, you don't have to wait any longer, follow me to Chiyun Tiangong quickly."
Immediately, Xiang Yuan turned around and said to the judge of Shuifu, "You will go too."
The judge was also shocked when he heard this, and his face became a little ugly, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to bow and say: "Yes."
A stick of incense later, in the Fatian Hall of the Chiyun Tiangong, facing the majesty of the Xuanling Heavenly Lord and the questioning of the Master Bai Zhen, and under the truthful report of the Shuifu judge, Ao Ren finally couldn't stand it anymore and went weak. Collapsed to the ground.
Ao Ren was shaking all over and his face was pale. He knew very clearly what kind of punishment he was about to face.
Although he did not resist the decree, he actually delayed the timing of the rain. When Fang Jian left and ordered Nantianfu, the thunder and fire was still limited to Lingji Mountain. Even if the Nantianfu decree was issued, the Shuifu judge delayed it for a while. When they arrived at Lingji Mountain, the thunder and fire had just spread to the edge of Lingji Mountain.
Therefore, if Ao Ren immediately came to spread rain to put out the fire without delay after receiving the decree, the time would be enough and the fire would not have spread yet.
However, Ao Ren did not arrive at Lingji Mountain until nearly half a stick of incense was issued by Nantian Mansion. By this time, the fire had spread for nearly a hundred miles. If it were not for the local immortal officials and Shuifu generals who worked hard to prevent the fire from spreading, and Jiang Du King Guangyuan happened to be passing by, and he was afraid that it had spread to the villages, towns and cities where mortals lived, causing a catastrophe.
But afterwards, Ao Ren not only did not explain the situation and plead guilty, but also wanted to embezzle King Jiang Du Guangyuan's achievements. If King Jiang Du Guangyuan had not written a memorial to explain the situation, he would have almost been fooled this time.
With Master Bai Zhen's continuous questioning and the truthful report from the judge of Shui Mansion, Ao Ren's failure to do enough rain in Bailu Mansion over the years was also revealed.
This time, not only Master Bai Zhen, but also Xuan Ling Tianjun was furious. He pointed at Ao Ren on the spot and said, "Take this evil obstacle away and escort it to the Lei Department for trial."
When he heard the word "Leibu", Ao Ren felt as if he was struck by lightning. Then he knelt down and kowtowed on the spot: "My Lord, please forgive me. I don't dare to do it anymore. Please give me a chance, my Lord." God will definitely change his mind, work diligently and prudently, and ask God to forgive his sins."
Xuanling Tianjun didn't say much, but waved his sleeves and said: "Escort the Lei Department immediately."
...
The story begins seventy years ago, when Mother Lotus was just a mysterious fairy.
At that time she
The Taoist temple is not Lingji Mountain, but Huaqing Pool at the foot of Lishan Mountain.
The original body of the Lotus Mother is a "Qingyang White Lotus" in Huaqing Pond. It took five hundred years to give birth to spiritual wisdom, absorb the essence of the sun and moon for three thousand years to become a Taoist, and spent another five thousand years cultivating to become an immortal and pick the true immortal Taoist fruit.
When Lotus Mother picked the True Immortal Dao Fruit, the Tang Dynasty had not yet been established.
Then another 60,000 years passed, and Mother Lotus finally picked the Xuanxian Dao Fruit, and then she embarked on the road of traveling around and solidifying her foundation.
However, at this time, the Tang Dynasty had been established for more than 4,000 years, and the young emperor Li Hong, who was only 13 years old, ascended the throne.
Then, things changed. The first thing the thirteen-year-old emperor Li Hong did after he ascended the throne was to rebuild the Huaqing Palace, so he invited the Celestial Master from the Celestial Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain to preside over the rebuilding of the Huaqing Palace. .
The body of Mother Lotus has not yet been refined by Mother Lotus, but is buried in the spiritual eye underground in Huaqing Pool.
In this way, during the process of rebuilding Huaqing Palace by Li Hong, the spiritual eye was dug out because the heavenly master wanted to set up an array under the spiritual eye.
But as the spiritual eye was dug out, the root of the lotus mother was also dug out. Fortunately, the heavenly master discovered that there was a Qingyang White Lotus fairy root in the spiritual eye that was more than 60,000 years old, so he wanted to take it out. He dug it back to make elixirs.
However, this Heavenly Master was weak and could not break through the defense of Qingyang White Lotus Immortal Root. However, he was not discouraged and instead invited Emperor Li Hong.
Li Hong heard that it was an immortal root, and got a promise from the Heavenly Master to refine the immortal root into an "elixir" and give it to him, so he cut off the immortal root of Qingyang White Lotus with the Emperor's Sword.
Because Li Hong was the Human Emperor and was blessed by the Emperor's luck, he cut off the Qingyang White Lotus Immortal Root effortlessly.
In this way, the root of Lotus Mother was cut off, and then she was taken back to Longhu Mountain to refine the elixir.
The original root was destroyed, and Mother Lotus, who was expected to go further on the road to immortality, was cut off. When she came back, she only found a remaining part of the original root under the spiritual eye.
Mother Lotus refined this remaining root into her body, and used this power to harvest the Taiyi Xuanxian Dao Fruit.
But it is a pity that she can only stay in the realm of Taiyi Xuanxian from now on. Her innate roots have been destroyed, and she can no longer move forward.
With such a deep hatred, Mother Lotus naturally wanted to take revenge. She first killed the heavenly master, and then prepared to kill Li Hong.
But Li Hong was protected by the Emperor's destiny. Even if she was Taiyi Xuanxian, she couldn't touch Li Hong at all. Then she opened a dojo in Lingji Mountain and met various immortal officials in order to find a way to break the Emperor's destiny. .
It is a pity that Mother Lotus never got her wish until this time when the Taoist sect was defeated. She had a dream while practicing, and a voice in the dream told her when and when the human emperor's luck in Li Hong would disappear.
You must know that a Taiyi Xuanxian does not need to sleep at all, and will not dream at all. Once a dream occurs, it can only be a person with great supernatural powers who can guide her through dreams.
So Mother Lotus rushed to Chang'an City immediately after she woke up. When the time came, she found that Li Hong's luck as a human emperor had disappeared. Mother Lotus decisively killed Li Hong who was bathing with his concubine in Huaqing Pool, and even his soul was destroyed. They broke up together and finally took their revenge.
These are all the details of the cause and effect of Mother Lotus' killing of the Human Emperor Li Hong as found out by the Lei Department.
