The Jade Emperor's gaze fell on Sun Wukong, the victorious Buddha, and then he spoke: "Buddha, the victorious warrior, I will confer upon you the title of Lord Qi Tianzhen, and the title of Jinfu Tianjun, are you willing?"
There is a reason for the Jade Emperor to ask this. It is not that he has any scruples, but that if Sun Wukong is directly granted the immortal position regardless of it, it will not look good if Sun Wukong is not satisfied.
Therefore, for this sealing, the Jade Emperor made a special inquiry to give Sun Wukong an opportunity to refuse or express dissatisfaction.
But this time, the position of Fu Tianjun is actually not low. Erlang Shen is also Fu Tianjun. Although Sun Wukong is a Buddha in Buddhism, both Taoism and Buddha are ministers of Heaven, so this time the canonization of Heaven is quite significant. Sincerity.
Sun Wukong, wearing a cassock, stepped out of the queue, put his palms together and bowed to the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, and said: "The Great Heavenly Lord has given me a reward for his kindness. How could a poor monk not be willing to do so? I accept the order and pay my respects to the Great Heavenly Lord for his great kindness."
As Sun Wukong received the order and thanked him, all the immortals present also laughed. This time was different from before.
In the past, Sun Wukong had just been born and didn't understand anything, so he naturally regretted it when he found that the official he was given was too young.
But it is different now. Now that you have become a Buddha, it is impossible for the heavenly system to not understand that if you accept the order to express gratitude and then regret it later, then you are the only one who is unreasonable.
However, these are just gossips. Today's Sun Wukong is no longer the original Sun Wukong, but a Buddha who studies Buddhism deeply and has compassion.
After receiving the order to express his gratitude, Sun Wukong's soul immediately appeared with an 'Immortal Official Jade Certificate'. After many years, he once again became an Immortal Official in Heaven, but this time he had two identities, one was from Buddhism. Fighting against the Buddha, one is the auxiliary Tianjun of heaven.
Sun Wukong flew into the immortal class of Lord Fu Tianzhen and stood next to Lord Yisheng Baode. However, he was not wearing the robes of an immortal official, but still wearing a cassock.
Seeing this scene, Guanyin Bodhisattva also smiled and nodded, and then said to the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord: "To the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, the poor monk and others will return to Lingshan to reply to my Buddha Tathagata. May I ask if the Great Heavenly Lord has any edicts?" Is the edict issued?"
The Jade Emperor smiled slightly and said, "Please tell fellow Taoist Sakyamuni and ask him to come to my Taiwei Jade Palace to taste tea when he has free time."
Upon hearing this, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva immediately put his hands together and worshiped, saying: "I sincerely obey the decree of the Great Heavenly Lord, and the poor monks and others should retire."
As the Buddhist saints left, the only person who came to see him in the Lingxiao Palace was the True Lord Xuanzhou.
But True Lord Xuanzhou did not panic, but waited quietly for the Jade Emperor's decree.
Sure enough, shortly after the Buddhist saints left, the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, said to the True Monarch Xuanzhou: "I have read the Heavenly Book of the Supreme Master of Xuanzhou, but this book still needs to be recited by fellow Taoist Hongjun for thirty years. The Sixth Heaven, the Great World of Jambudvipa. After reciting this, I shall forgive the sins of Xuanjiao, and allow Xuanjiao to establish its way in the present world, and follow the order of heaven."
"I sincerely abide by the decree of the law." True Lord Xuanzhou bowed and said, "To the Jade Emperor, the leader has already made preparations when the little immortal enters heaven. Can I recite it now?"
When True Monarch Xuanzhou finished speaking, the immortal officials in the hall were all slightly surprised, because when True Monarch Xuanzhou said this, it showed that Taoist Hongjun was already ready to completely bow to the heaven.
But it makes sense if you think about it carefully. Xuanjiao has just entered the world and has experienced such a war. Face and dignity are not important at all, and the gods do not value this thing.
The most important thing is to seize the opportunity to settle down in this world and develop your own sect.
The Jade Emperor was not surprised. He just raised his eyes and glanced at the unknown place in the sky, and then said: "Yes."
True Lord Xuanzhou stopped talking, but after a moment, the Thirty-sixth Heaven and the entire world of Jambu heard a vast and infinite fairy voice. This voice was reciting the 'Book of Respecting Heaven'. In the world, all practitioners from Daluo to Qi Refining Realm heard this voice.
During the recitation, this voice was reported to heaven with the three names of Xuanjiao leader, Taoist master Juntian, and Taoist Hongjun. Xuanjiao respects the Jade Emperor as the master of the three realms, and respects the current heaven as the ruling center of the three realms. Modify the Xuanjiao teachings, abolish all things that are "against heaven", worship it sincerely, and submit it to heaven for reference.
As Taoist Hongjun finished reciting the Xuanjiao's Book of Respecting Heaven, all Da Luo Jinxian felt a change in the heavenly secrets. This proved that the way of heaven had already recorded the book of Zuntian of Xuanjiao.
The Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, also said at the moment when the heavenly secret changed: "I have been entrusted by heaven to rule the world. Now there is Xuanjiao, which sincerely returns to heaven. I have issued an imperial edict to pardon his sins and allow him to establish religion and preach the law in this world. , to save all sentient beings, just like laws and regulations.”
After the Jade Emperor's words fell, the heavenly secrets changed dramatically in an instant. Then the heavenly law revealed the heavenly secrets, and all the immortals and gods of Xuanjiao gave birth to their roots in this world.
From this moment on, the ancient immortals and gods resurrected by Xuanjiao also officially registered their names in the present world, and the luck in the present world blessed them.
At this moment, starting from True Monarch Xuanzhou and all the Xuanjiao monks who were besieged in Gu Yuanzhou, they all prostrated themselves on the ground and sang in unison: "Kowtow to the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, Xuan Qiong Gao God, for his kindness, and congratulate the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord. May you live long and blessed forever, forever!"
After Xuanzhou Zhenjun thanked him, he resigned and left the lower realm of heaven to return to Xuanjiao.
Then the Great Heavenly Lord of the Jade Emperor said to the Great Emperor Qinghua of the East Pole: "All the heavenly soldiers and generals, immortal officials and immortal officials who have made meritorious service in the expedition to Nanzhan Continent must be rewarded according to their merits, without any mistakes."
Emperor Qinghua of Dongji immediately held the jade tablet in his hands and worshiped: "I sincerely obey the decree of the Great Heavenly Lord."
The Jade Emperor nodded slightly, and then said to everyone: "The remaining matters will be handled by the Five Emperors on my behalf."
The Five Emperors also immediately stood up and worshiped: "Follow the law and decree."
Immediately, the Jade Emperor drove back to Taiwei Yuqing Palace, and once again handed over all affairs of the heaven to the Five Emperors.
As the Jade Emperor returned to Taiwei Yuqing Palace, Emperor Gouchen immediately called out: "Erlang God."
Erlang Shen immediately walked out with his hut in his arms and said, "I am here."
Emperor Gouchen said: "You immediately return to Nanzhan Buzhou and lead all the heavenly soldiers, generals and immortal officials of Nanzhan Buzhou to conquer the general envoy's palace and return to heaven one after another. They will be stationed at the Tiantianmen Dangmo School Wei Department, waiting for the heavenly court's reward. "
"I will obey the decree of the law." Erlang Shen bowed and sang, then he said goodbye and left the lower realm of Ling Xiaobao.
Then Emperor Gouchen said to Emperor Qinghua of Dongji: "As the chief envoy of Taixuan Province, you have full authority to preside over the awarding matters."
"I accept the decree." Emperor Qinghua of Dongji immediately paid his respects.
Later, Emperor Gouchen asked Emperor Ziwei, Emperor Houtu, Emperor Anji Changsheng, and Emperor Jiutian Xuannv: "Do you fellow Taoists still have any gaps to fill in?"
The other four emperors shook their heads, saying that they had nothing to add, so Emperor Gouchen announced his withdrawal from the court and ordered the immortals and gods to return to their respective positions and perform their duties.
Ancient Yuanzhou, Xuanjiao General Altar, Zixiao Hall.
Taoist Hongjun is sitting high on the Qingyun, with the mysterious light shining through behind him and the glow surrounding him.
After True Lord Xuanzhou returned from the Heavenly Court, he immediately came to the Zixiao Palace for an audience. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the Zixiao Palace, he found that the remaining four Holy Lords were already waiting here.
After Xuanzhou Zhenjun bowed to Taoist Hongjun, he rose up from the clouds, flew down and stood under Taoist Hongjun.
Taoist Hongjun spoke at this moment: "Although there were many casualties among the disciples in the sect, our Xuanjiao has officially entered the world and established a religion. It has been recognized by the heaven, so it will live up to the sacrifices of all the disciples. From now on, our Xuanjiao will appear in the three worlds." A place for one.”
Upon hearing this, True Monarch Xuanzhou and the Four Holy Masters immediately bowed to Taoist Hongjun and sang: "Xuanxuan Zhidao Tianzun."
This "Xuanxuan Zhidao Tianzun" is just like the "Amitabha Buddha and Infinite Life Buddha" of Buddhism and the "Infinite Blessings Tianzun" of Taoism. They are words of praise.
Taoist Hongjun added: "Fellow Guanshiyin has just informed me that Buddhism has a sacred mountain on top of the immeasurable sea, called 'Tianzhang Mountain'. Buddhism has given it to my Xuanjiao, and that is where it will be from now on." The foundation of my Xuanjiao religion."
Hearing this, Zhenjun Xuanzhou and others were slightly startled, but they couldn't help but sigh softly in their hearts.
Although Tianzhang Mountain is a holy land of immortal mountains, which is much better than the Cave Heaven Blessed Land in Nanzhan Buzhou, the problem is that Tianzhang Mountain is on the immeasurable sea.
The layout of the great world of Jambudur is like this. The central area is composed of four major continents, and the periphery is the four seas in the east, south, west, and north. The four seas are vast and boundless, surrounding the four major continents from four directions.
And on the outer periphery of the four seas is the boundless and immeasurable sea, on which the ten continents and three islands are floating.
Therefore, once Xuanjiao goes to Tianzhang Mountain, if it wants to convert its disciples in the future, it will have to cross the ocean and go through hardships to reach the four major continents.
After Taoist Hongjun announced this, he said to the four holy masters: "In three days, our sect will officially leave Nanzhan Buzhou and follow me to Tianzhang Mountain in the Infinite Giant Sea. You will gather the disciples as soon as possible and prepare to move."
When the four holy masters heard this, they immediately bowed and said: "I sincerely obey the teachings of the Lord."
As the four holy masters left, True Monarch Xuanzhou couldn't help it anymore, and immediately bowed to Taoist Hongjun: "Master, do you have to go to the Infinite Sea? How about the Four Seas? It's better than the Infinite Sea. many."
Taoist Hongjun shook his head and said: "Sihai is the land of the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas. How can you be allowed to establish a religion?"
Speaking of this, Taoist Hongjun asked Zhenjun Xuanzhou: "Did you go to heaven to see the Jade Emperor?"
True Lord Xuanzhou nodded and said, "I see you."
"How?" Taoist Hongjun asked.
True Lord Xuanzhou thought for a while and said: "It's as infinite as the sky above."
"Yes." Taoist Hongjun nodded and said, "When you were reporting and reciting the 'Book of Respecting Heaven', he glanced at me."
True Monarch Xuanzhou was shocked when he heard this. Although he said nothing, he looked at Taoist Hongjun with surprised eyes.
When I was young, I only heard Taoist Hongjun say: "That one glance can penetrate the past and present, and see through the reality of yin and yang. I can't hide in front of him."
Upon hearing this, Zhenjun Xuanzhou's eyes widened. He looked at his master, who had single-handedly defeated the three Daluo Jinxian of the Taoist sect, with disbelief in his eyes.
