Taibai Jinxing went to Nanzhan Buzhou to deliver the edict in accordance with the decree of Emperor Gouchen. It was said to be an edict, but in fact it was an ultimatum.
However, the ultimatum from Heaven was not aggressive, but only stated two points: First, the Xuanjiao forces should return to Ancient Yuanzhou. Since Xuanjiao has entered the world, Heavenly Court allowed them to teach in Guyuanzhou, but they were not allowed to leave Guyuanzhou. Preach.
Second, the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism was terminated. Nanzhan Buzhou allowed Taoism and Buddhism to preach together, and the division of spheres of influence of all sects was cancelled.
To be honest, when Emperor Gouchen's edict was conveyed to Buddhism and Mysticism through Taibaijinxing, the leaders of the two religions were also surprised.
They thought of many of the attitudes of heaven in passing edicts, but they did not expect that heaven would pass on edicts in such a peaceful and tolerant manner.
This attitude of the Heavenly Court caused the leaders of the two religions to immediately hesitate, especially the Xuanjiao. Their entry into the world was originally promoted by Buddhism and was not approved by the ruler of the three worlds in the present world, that is, the Heavenly Court.
Now Heaven allows them to return to Ancient Yuanzhou, recognizes the fact that they have joined the world, and allows them to teach in Ancient Yuanzhou, giving them legitimacy in this world.
This condition is already very generous for Xuanjiao. If Xuanjiao considers its own interests, there is absolutely no reason to oppose it.
But it is a pity that Xuanjiao and Buddhism are now tied to the same chariot. Now Taoism has completely withdrawn from Nanzhan Continent. To put it bluntly, the entire Nanzhan Continent is under the control of Buddhism. How can it be possible to follow it? Just casually let Nanzhan Buzhou go out again, and continue to let Daomen come back to preach?
Therefore, Buddhism firmly disagrees, and the Vajra Indestructible Buddha personally came to Nanzhan Continent to preside over the overall situation. In addition to the Nanzhan Continent’s existing Nan Baosheng Buddha, Sandalwood Merit Buddha and Fighting Victory Buddha, the entire Nanzhan Continent has Four Buddhas are in charge.
If Buddhism does not agree, then Xuanjiao cannot agree on their own, because they are not yet qualified to decide their own destiny.
Therefore, one day after the Taibaijin Star mission went to Nanzhan Buzhou Tianzhu Buddhist Kingdom and the Ancient Yuanzhou Xuanjiao General Altar to declare the edict and returned to heaven, the four Buddhists and the Xuanjiao leader "Hongjun" and the deputy leader "True Lord Xuanzhou" had a meeting.
This meeting lasted for three days before it ended, but they were not in a hurry to echo Heavenly Court's clear rejection of Heavenly Court's ultimatum, but were waiting, waiting for the layout of Nanzhan Continent to be completed.
They wanted to stall for time, but Heavenly Court would not give them this opportunity. Just five days after Taibai Jinxing promulgated the edict, Emperor Chen sent a decree directly to the palace of the General Envoy of the Expedition.
This decree gives Erlang, the chief envoy of the Expeditionary Committee, the authority to act arbitrarily when the situation arises.
Although this decree did not tell Erlangshen that war could begin, everyone knew that with the decree coming down, there was no need to wait for the decree of the Five Emperors to start a war, Erlangshen could make the decision himself.
Another day passed, and the entire Heavenly Court seemed extremely nervous and busy, especially the Taixuan Capital Province, which was stepping up its efforts to deal with the affairs of the Immortal Officials and Divine Palaces in Nanzhan Buzhou.
Similarly, Fang Jian, who is the leader of the martial arts community in Taixuan Province, is not relaxed either. There are hundreds of memorials about Nanzhan Buzhou to be processed every day.
"Just stay with me during this time and be an errand boy." Fang Jian said to Mei Xianzhang beside him.
Mei Xianzhang was silent for a moment and said, "Master, how do you think I look like a boy?"
Fang Jian turned his head and glanced at Mei Xianzhang. Well, this apprentice's handsome eyes and eyebrows were trimmed, and his figure was tall. He really didn't look like a boy.
"Then you just serve tea and run errands." Fang Jian said, "You don't have an official status now, but because you are my apprentice, I can't directly get you a fairy official status. I plan to let you take the Heavenly Court Immortal Official Assessment in the future, starting from the lowest Immortal Official."
Mei Xianzhang did not feel dissatisfied after hearing this, but asked curiously: "The lowest immortal official? What official is it?"
"The God of the Earth." Fang Jian said, "Your master and I were born as the God of the Earth."
Mei Xianzhang nodded and said: "I started from a young age and rose up in the ranks. Master, I have no objection to this."
"It's useless to have any opinions." Fang Jian said with a smile: "Since you have become my disciple, Fang Jian, don't try to do anything special. Not only your official status when you first enter the heaven, but also your future promotion. You have to intervene, if my master is not satisfied, even if the chief envoy wants to promote you, my master will not agree."
"I know." Mei Xianzhang responded slowly, but he didn't care at all in his heart. So what if he was the God of Earth for the rest of his life? It’s time to cultivate and cultivate immortality, it’s time to do things, and it’s time to live.
Then Fang Jian raised his hand and took out an object, which was the Kuixing Inkstone. However, the Kuixing Inkstone now was no longer the Kuixing Inkstone that was a true immortal level magic weapon, but a Taiyi Golden Immortal level magic weapon.
Fang Jian was very concerned about his only disciple, and directly used one hundred thousand strands of Tao Qi to let Hongmeng Editor edit the Kuixing Inkstone into the Taiyi Golden Immortal Magic Weapon.
Moreover, it also erased the traces of Emperor Wenchang on it. Rather than saying it was an upgraded version of Kuixing Inkstone, it was better to say that it was a recast of Kuixing Inkstone.
However, in order to take care of the fact that this was Mei Xianzhang's heirloom, Fang Jian did not change the appearance of Kuixing Inkstone, so the appearance remained exactly the same as before.
However, Kui Xingyan now possesses magical powers that he had never possessed before. As for the magical powers, it is up to Mei Xianzhang himself to understand.
"Disciple, look what this is." Because he wanted to help her practice again, Fang Jian did not tell her that Kui Xingyan had been found at first.
When Mei Xianzhang saw the Kuixing Inkstone in Fang Jian's hand, he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his eyes, but soon the doubt turned into surprise and excitement, "This... Master, is this... Kuixing Inkstone?" ?」
"That's right." Fang Jian nodded and said with a smile: "My master has helped you find the Kuixing Inkstone and reforged it. Now it has become an unpredictable magic weapon. You can take it as a sacrifice to a good life." Practice and don’t slack off.”
When Mei Xianzhang heard this, he immediately stretched out his hands excitedly. Fang Jian raised his palm slightly, and the Kuixing Inkstone slowly flew into Mei Xianzhang's hand.
Mei Xianzhang held Kui Xingyan in both hands and examined it carefully, and finally said in an extremely excited tone: "That's it. I saw it when I was a child. My father showed it to me..." At this point, Mei Xianzhang Already in tears.
After a while, Mei Xianzhang wiped away his tears, put the Kuixing Inkstone into the Niwan Palace, then knelt down to Fang Jian and said, "Disciple, I thank my mentor."
Fang Jian smiled slightly, helped Mei Xianzhang up personally, stretched out his hand to wipe away the remaining tears on her face and said, "Okay, you first go back to your residence and refine the Kuixing Inkstone. After I cast the Kuixing Inkstone, it will be fine." It has unfathomable divine power, and you need to live a good life to experience it and understand it."
Upon hearing this, Mei Xianzhang immediately bowed and said, "Yes, I will obey my master's orders."
As Mei Xianzhang left, Hei Haier, who had been watching for a long time, asked, "Sir, I think the Kuixing Inkstone is so majestic and powerful that it must be higher than the Golden Immortal."
Fang Jian smiled slightly and said, "That was originally a true immortal-level magic weapon. After I forged it, it is now a Taiyi Golden Immortal-level magic weapon."
Hei Hai'er's eyes suddenly widened. You must know that his three-sided giant ax is only at the Golden Immortal level, yet he, the master, casually forged a Taiyi Golden Immortal-level magic weapon for his apprentice.
I'm so envious, what should I do? Hei Haier's heart was filled with envy for Mei Xianzhang.
But soon, he realized, yes, can he also ask the master to forge his own three-sided giant ax?
So Hei Haier immediately asked: "Master, if I ask you to help me forge my three-faced giant axe, how many calamity jade will it cost?"
Although Hei Hai'er is reckless, he is not stupid. He and Fang Jian are not relatives, so why should they forge a magic weapon for you for free?
Fang Jian laughed when he heard this, then rubbed Hei Haier's head and said, "As long as you do good work and earn more merits and deeds, I will forge a magic weapon for you in the future."
Hei Hai'er is Fang Jian's boy. He has earned merit and deeds by Fang Jian's side, so naturally he also has Fang Jian's merit.
So the hidden meaning of Fang Jian's words is that if you work harder and earn more merit, I can naturally use Hongmeng Editor to forge magic weapons for you.
But the black boy
Er didn't know, so he just thought that Fang Jian was telling him to behave well so that he could forge magic weapons for him in the future.
So Hei Hai'er was very happy, and his heart was suddenly filled with hope.
"Yes, sir." Hei Haier immediately bowed his head and bowed.
Fang Jian looked at Hei Haier's happy look and couldn't help but sigh slightly, "Young man, editing the Taiyi Golden Immortal-level magic weapon requires a lot of moral energy. You can earn a lot with your merits."
Thinking of this, Fang Jian couldn't help but glance at the Hongmeng editor. After editing Kuixing Yan for Mei Xianzhang, there were only 760,000 strands of Tao Qi left.
...
"Grand Director." Qu Daoping, the Young Director of Taixuan City Province, walked into the hall, came to Fang Jian with an imperial edict in his hand and said, "The imperial edict from the True Lord Erlang has arrived."
"Oh?" Fang Jian stood up immediately after hearing this, and Qu Daoping immediately held the imperial book with both hands.
Fang Jian took the imperial edict and read it. The content asked him to dispatch another one million heavenly troops and corresponding supplies to the General Consulate General's Office within three days.
Moreover, Erlang Zhenjun's tone in the edict was very stern and completely business-like.
Moreover, Erlang Shen also issued a strict three-day period in the edict. If one million heavenly soldiers and corresponding supplies cannot be delivered to the General Envoy's Office within three days, all the immortal officials in Wuying Palace will be brought to trial.
But this does not include Fang Jian. Of course, this is not because Erlang Shen has a good relationship with Fang Jian, but because Fang Jian has the "Jade Emperor's Taoist Calendar", Erlang Shen also included Fang Jian in the first draft. Yes, but when I think about the fact that he has the "Jade Emperor's Taoist Calendar" on him, even though his official rank is higher than Fang Jian's, he still can't ask Fang Jian's crime.
Therefore, Erlang Shen could only say in a very serious and personal tone: "If you miss the deadline and ruin the conquest of heaven, I will not forgive you."
Facing Erlangshen's threat of force, although Fang Jian could not be said to be afraid, he was still a little bit dumbfounded.
Once Erlang Shen gets down to business, he is even more selfless and cold-blooded than himself. Normally, he doesn't bother to care about you if you make some mistakes, but if you make a mistake in business, he won't spare you.
Although you have the Jade Emperor's Taoist experience, Erlang Shen cannot do anything to him due to his authority in heaven, but you can't stop him from coming to deal with you.
Fang Jian weighed his own strength. Without using the Big Sun Buddha Pestle, he couldn't even defeat the Bull Demon King. He used 50% of the power of the Big Sun Buddha Pestle to barely suppress the Bull Demon King.
As for Erlang Shen and Sun Wukong, even if Fang Jian used 50% of the power of the Big Sun Buddha Pestle in this world, he might not be able to take advantage.
But what makes Fang Jian dumbfounded is, don't you, Erlang Shen, not know who I am, Fang Jian? Even the Great Heavenly Lord can rest assured when I do things!
Fang Jian thought in his mind, and then put away the edict, and then said to Qu Daoping: "Pass my decree to the Tiantianmen Dangmo School Wei Department, and order them to select 250,000 true immortal realm heavenly soldiers, and each department will be waiting for you. Commander, we will gather outside Nantianmen in two days and wait for the order."
When Qu Daoping heard this, he immediately raised his hands and sang, "Follow the law and the decree."
Then Fang Jian personally rushed to the Grain Institute to extract all kinds of elixirs, treasure materials, charms, magic weapons, armor and other materials needed by one million heavenly soldiers, and ordered the Grain Institute to load these materials on the Tianzhou and go to the outside of Nantianmen. Rally.
The immortal officials in the Grain Food Institute were also very busy and took action immediately after receiving the order, not daring to slack off at all.
Two days later, all the heavenly soldiers and supplies were assembled. Fang Jian took Hei Hai'er and once again personally led millions of heavenly soldiers and thousands of heavenly boats to set off for the lower realm and rushed to the headquarters of Nanzhan Buzhou Expedition General Envoy.
The atmosphere here is more tense and serious than in heaven.
This time there were no accidents on the way, and we arrived at the headquarters of the General Embassy smoothly. This time, the person who came to greet Fang Jian and received the supplies from the heavenly soldiers was changed from Nezha to the Giant Spirit God.
"Master Hongqing, Master Erlang has a limited time limit of three days. You arrived in two days. It's so fast." The giant spirit god saluted Fang Jian and then said to Fang Jian.
Fang Jian smiled faintly and said: "It is such a big conquest. Since I have received the decree of Lord Erlang, how can I dare to neglect it?"
The giant spirit god's eyes swept over the heavenly soldiers and heavenly boats, and then he raised his hands towards
Fang Jian said: "Zhenren Hongqing, Zhenjun Erlang and all the commanders are discussing matters in the mansion. You can just go directly. I also have to organize the heavenly troops and inventory the supplies. Please forgive me for not being able to accompany you."
Fang Jian laughed when he heard this and said, "What are you talking about, fellow Taoist? Official matters are important, fellow Taoist, don't worry about me."
The Giant Spirit God bowed his hands and left after a salute, while Fang Jian took Hei Haier directly into the envoy's mansion and soon arrived at the meeting hall.
Seeing Fang Jian enter the discussion hall, Erlang Shen, who was discussing with everyone, nodded towards Fang Jian, then raised his hand and pointed to the seat on one side of the hall, indicating for him to sit down, and then continued to discuss the conquest with everyone in the hall.
Fang Jian walked to the seat pointed by Erlang Shen and sat down, and began to listen to the discussion. Hei Haier walked to him and stood quietly aside, his eyes scanning between Erlang Shen and the famous gods in front of him from time to time. Pass.
