Golden lotuses surge from the sky, and purple smoke rises in all directions.
Stars and clouds gather in the sky all week long, and the immortals and gods of the three religions stand in front of the temple.
The imperial chariot is covered with treasures and canopies, and the sacred banners of fighting flags cover the sky.
The true king and marshal are all in uniform, and the heavenly official and the divine interpret the truth.
Qian Qi welcomes Fang Zhushan, and Kun Qi protects it and goes to Yaotian.
There are great virtues from the south to the north, and the five elders from the five directions enjoin Dao Xuan.
The Dao is vast and all the heavens are filled with immortal palaces. The Buddha shines with the majesty of the precious treasures in all directions.
We all praise the Heavenly Emperor Miluo Hao, the master of countless tribulations.
Fang Jian was wearing a high-grade jade robe and holding a golden white jade saber in his arms, and was lined up in the queue of super-grade immortal officials.
And this time the Great Court Meeting is also very special, because this time the Great Court Meeting summons all the chief officials of all parties, ministries, and departments in the heaven and above, as well as Taoism, Buddhism, Taiyi Golden Immortal and above.
Outside the Lingxiao Hall, the Taoist immortals and gods were listed on the left, the Buddhist immortals and gods were listed on the right, and the heavenly officials were listed in the middle. The East Prince and the Queen Mother of the West stood at the front to lead the procession.
Everyone stood quietly outside the hall, not daring to make the slightest sound.
When they were young, Yu Zhen, the Left Heavenly Lord of Lingxiao Palace, and Zhou Tan, the Right Heavenly Lord of Lingxiao Palace, walked out of the Lingxiao Palace holding thunder whips in their hands. They stood on the left and right sides of the Lingxiao Palace, then raised their thunder whips and struck them down in the air.
'pa' 'pa' 'pa'
As three thunder whips exploded in the air, the atmosphere in the square outside the Lingxiao Palace became more solemn and quiet. Everyone stood upright and respectfully, looking straight ahead, not daring to lose the slightest trace of etiquette.
Following the sound of three thunder whips, Taibai Jinxing walked out of the Lingxiao Palace with a fly whisk in hand, and loudly preached to the immortals, gods and officials outside the palace; Please enter the Lingxiao Palace in order to have an audience!"
After saying that, Taibai Jinxing turned around and slowly entered the Lingxiao Palace with square steps.
The next moment, the immortals, gods and officials outside the Lingxiao Palace began to enter the Lingxiao Palace sequentially under the leadership of the East Prince and the Queen Mother of the West.
The immortals, gods and officials were all in uniform, neither fast nor slow, holding jade tablets in their hands and bowing their heads respectfully.
After all the immortals, gods and officials entered the hall and stood still, they, led by the East Prince and the West Queen Mother, saluted the Jade Emperor on the throne in the sky.
"I pay my respects to the Great Heavenly Lord, the Jade Emperor of Haotian, and wish the Great Heavenly Lord endless calamities and immortal blessings forever. I wish all living beings in the three realms to escape from the sea of suffering forever and be safe and happy."
All the immortals, gods and officials paid homage to the Jade Emperor three times. Finally, the Jade Emperor spoke kindly and said, "All the immortals are exempt from the ceremony."
"Thank you, Great Heavenly Lord." All the immortals, gods and officials bowed again and then stood up.
Afterwards, Taibai Jinxing stepped forward and said: "Please invite all the immortals, gods and officials to join the ranks of immortals and prepare to discuss matters."
"Yes." All the immortal gods and immortal officials responded respectfully, and then they flew back to their respective positions in the immortal class.
After Fang Jing stood on the throne of the Immortal Class, he raised his head and saw that the Supreme Lord and the Tathagata Buddha were also standing respectfully in the sky, and their status was second only to the Jade Emperor.
When the Supreme Lord and the Buddha come down, they are the Five Emperors. When the Five Emperors come down, they are the East Prince and the West Queen Mother. After the East Prince and the West Queen Mother come down, they are the Five Elders of the Five Directions. When the Five Elders of the Five Directions come down, they are the Nine Emperors of Shenxiao.
The above people are all on the throne, sitting in the north and facing south. Starting from the Five Sacred Emperors, they have been in the rank of ministers, standing in the south and facing north.
After all the immortals, gods and officials had finished their court meeting and each had entered the ministerial class, the Jade Emperor Heavenly Lord spoke: "This time I am ordering all the immortals to hold a court meeting because a major event related to the three realms is about to be announced. March of the Earth Calendar After that, I, the Taoist Patriarch, and the Buddha will go to the "Qingwei Tianyuan Shi Tianzun" to perform Taoism for the present world and the three bounded kalpas. This may take up to a million years, or take up to thousands of years, so we will discuss the duties and laws of heaven. Make modifications and adjustments.”
After saying that, the Jade Emperor directly called out: "Zhongtian North Pole Ziwei Emperor."
Emperor Ziwei immediately stood up and flew to the palace, bowed and said: "I am here."
The Jade Emperor waved his hand and sent out a mysterious light. The mysterious light flew down in front of Emperor Ziwei and slowly revealed a mysterious jade treasure basket.
"This is the 'Treasure of Heaven'. It is given by Heaven. It can grant officials and priesthoods to immortals. It can also be given to 'immortal officials and jade plates' by itself. It can control and monitor all the fortunes, merits, good and evil of immortals and immortal officials in the three realms. Daluo Jinxian is not on it. After I leave, you will take charge of the power of the 'Jade Emperor' and take charge of this 'Treasure of Heavenly Way'." The Jade Emperor said.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Ziwei immediately prostrated himself on the ground, raised his hands to catch the 'Treasure of Heaven's Way' and bowed: "O minister, I sincerely follow the decree of the Great Heavenly Lord of Haotian Golden Palace and Jade Emperor, and wish the Great Heavenly Lord an early success in determining the calamity and performing Taoism." .”
"Yes." The Jade Emperor nodded slightly and said, "Return to your seat."
Then Emperor Ziwei bowed again, and the Heavenly Dao Treasure turned into a mysterious light and flew into the center of Emperor Ziwei's eyebrows. Then Emperor Ziwei stood up and flew back to his throne.
After arranging the arrangements for Emperor Ziwei, the Jade Emperor Tianzun said: "From now on, the original "Tian Tiao Jade Law" is officially abolished, and the new "Tian Tiao Jade Law" will be jointly agreed upon by me, Taoist ancestors, and Buddha. Promulgated at the Great Court Meeting, Taibai Jinxing.”
Taibai Jinxing immediately stepped forward and said, "I am here."
The Jade Emperor said: "Immediately promulgate the new "Treasures of Heaven" and inform all the immortals."
"I will obey the decree of the law." Taibai Jinxing bowed and sang to receive the decree.
Taibai Jinxing then took out a scroll of jade slips and slowly flew forward. Facing the immortals and immortal officials in the hall, he said: "The new "Tian Tiao" is divided into six jade laws, namely: Immortal Law, Sanxian Law, The law of demons and ghosts, the law of spirits, the law of mandrills and wood guests, and the law of living people.”
"Article 1 of the "Laws of Immortal Officials": Anyone who is an immortal official in heaven is a 'immortal' and should strictly abide by the "Laws of Immortal Officials."
"Article 1 of the "Law of Sanxian": Anyone who is not an immortal official in heaven is a 'sanxian'. The same is true for monks of Taoism and Buddhism. They should strictly abide by the "Law of Sanxian".
"Article 1 of the "Laws of Demons and Evil Ghosts": Anyone who is born as a demon or evil spirit must strictly abide by the "Laws of Demons and Evil Ghosts".
"Article 1 of the "Law of Spirits and Monsters": Anyone who acquires a body of spirits the day after tomorrow should strictly abide by the "Law of Spirits and Monsters".
"Article 1 of "The Code of Mandrill Wood Guests": Anyone who is a mandrill wood guest born in the day after tomorrow should strictly abide by the "Laws of Mandrill Wood Guests"."
"Article 1 of the "Law of Living People": All intelligent beings in the present world of the three realms must strictly abide by the "Law of Living People".
"The articles in the "Law of Immortal Officials" are as follows: All Immortal Officials."
Next, Taibai Jinxing recited all the articles of the Six Jade Rules, and read out the rules and punishments of each article clearly to everyone.
The whole process lasted for a full five hours before it ended, but for the immortals and immortal officials in the hall, they memorized it all easily.
However, this time the "Tian Tiao Jade Law" has been greatly changed. Even Fang Jian was secretly shocked when he heard it. It can be said that most of the "Tian Tiao Jade Law" has overturned the previous version of "Tian Tiao Jade". First of all, it can be seen from the second article of "Xianguan Law".
Article 2 of the "Laws of Immortal Officials": Immortal officials are allowed to marry and they shall be monogamous. Anyone who violates this rule shall receive hundreds of thunder lashes and be divorced from his wife. The second offender is fractal, deprived of official status, and cast into the realm of animals.
In the past, marriage between immortal officials was strictly prohibited in this position, but now marriage between immortal officials is allowed, but only monogamy is allowed.
There is also the "Law of Living and the People". In the past, the "Articles of Heaven" did not provide laws for the living of all beings, but now there is an additional "Law of Living and the People".
What is particularly thought-provoking is that Article 11 of the "Laws of the Living People" stipulates: Those living and breathing people who take advantage of their power to destroy temples, destroy monks and curse their teachings, or harm good people will have their lifespan shortened. If he commits a serious crime again, he will be destroyed and bring disaster to the Seventh Ancestor.
This article is very interesting. 'Destroying temples' or 'destroying monks and cursing' will shorten your lifespan. Those who do it again and worse will be exterminated, and 'disaster will affect the seven ancestors', that is, seven generations of people will suffer.
This article is simply a law tailor-made for Taoism and Buddhism.
As for the "Laws of Demons and Evil Ghosts", it is easier to understand. It is obvious that the entry of real demons from outsiders into the world has become a general trend of heaven, so the new "Laws of Heaven and Jade" has been prepared for a rainy day and has included 'demons' in the laws of heaven.
It seems that the Jade Emperor, the Taoist ancestors, and the Buddha have already made preparations for the real demons of the outside world to enter the world, but they don't know when this trend will appear.
When Taibai Jinxing finished reading the new "Tian Tiao Jade Law", the entire Lingxiao Palace was extremely silent. All the immortals and immortal officials looked at each other. It seemed that not only Fang Jian, but also they found it incredible that the new The Rules of Heaven almost overturned the previous version of "The Rules of Heaven".
However, many immortal officials are secretly happy because they can get married.
Looking at the quiet immortals and gods in the hall, the Jade Emperor called out: "Where is the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Universalization Heavenly Lord?"
Lei Zu immediately flew down to the center of the hall, hugged the hut and worshiped: "I am here."
The Jade Emperor said: "From now on, the Lei Bu will be in charge of the execution and punishment of the "Tian Tiao Jade Law". All the gods and immortals in the heaven and all parties have the right to enforce the "Tian Tiao Jade Law", and the Lei Bu has the right to supervise."
Upon hearing this, Lei Zu immediately bowed and said, "I will obey the law."
Then Lei Zu flew back to the Immortal Banchen column, and the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Lord said again: "Where is Juntian, the Holy Mother of the Nine Heavens Xuanyang Yuannu?"
Upon hearing this, Jiutian Xuannv immediately flew down to the center of the hall and worshiped: "I am here."
The Jade Emperor said: "My order is to set up the post of 'Justice God' in the Immortal City of Taishi, who will be responsible for the final judgment, punishment, and supervision of the good and evil of all living beings in the three realms."
Jiutian Xuannv immediately sang: "I accept the decree."
This is equivalent to the "first instance" authority for all the gods in heaven and the immortals from all parties to execute the "Tian Tiao Jade Law". The Lei Department has the "second instance" authority with the nature of supervision. The judicial god here has the absolute "final trial" authority, which is undoubtedly the most powerful. Important authority.
The Jade Emperor said: "Do you have any candidates for the post of Judicial God?"
When Jiutian Xuannv heard this, her heart moved. She was about to speak out, but she immediately swallowed her words, then bowed and said, "I don't have a suitable candidate, so please make a decision with the Great Heavenly Lord."
The Jade Emperor nodded slightly, then said, "Fang Jian."
The name of the immortals and gods in the Lingxiao Palace is both surprising and reasonable. Considering Fang Jian's past achievements, it is most suitable to be the 'god of justice'.
"Great Heavenly Lord, Fang Jian is now responsible for the Immortal Lord of Huntian Mansion. I'm afraid." Jiutian Xuannu reported.
Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Lord Qian Gang said arbitrarily: "The post of Judicial God will be suspended on Fang Jian for now, and he can officially take up the post after Fang Jian returns from the Hunyi Heavens."
Jiutian Xuannv was secretly happy in her heart, but on the surface she was still extremely serious: "Fang Jian has very little qualifications. He has been an immortal official for less than three hundred years. I'm afraid he won't be able to convince the public."
The Jade Emperor heard the words and called out: "Fang Jian."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately flew down to the center of the hall with the jade wat in his arms, behind Jiutian Xuannv, and said, "I am here."
The Jade Emperor said: "Where is the 'Jade Emperor's Calendar' that I gave you?"
Fang Jian immediately offered the Jade Emperor's Taoist Calendar and said, "Go back to the Great Heavenly Lord, the Jade Emperor's Taoist Calendar is here."
The Jade Emperor said: "I will make the following changes to the authority of the Jade Emperor's Dao Calendar: 1. Those who hold the Jade Emperor's Dao Calendar are not subject to anyone's control except me and Emperor Ziwei. 2. Haotian's decree, in case of disaster, can Behead first and report later, not bound by the laws of heaven."
After saying that, the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, said to Fang Jian: "After you have pacified the Hunyi Heavenly Empress, you will return to the Heavenly Court and take up your post as the God of Justice. There must be no mistakes."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately bowed and said, "My minister Fang Jian, I sincerely abide by the decree of the Great Heavenly Lord."
Then the Jade Emperor Dao Li turned into a mysterious light again and flew into Fang Jian's eyebrows.
Immediately afterwards, Jiutian Xuannv and Fang Jian also flew back to their ranks of immortals. Then the Jade Emperor asked the Supreme Lord and the Tathagata Buddha: "Do you two Taoist friends have any instructions to send to the immortals?" Sir?"
The Supreme Lord and Tathagata Buddha shook their heads. The Jade Emperor smiled slightly, and then said to the Supreme Lord: "Old Lord, Heavenly Court will ask you to take care of me after I leave."
Taishang Laojun is the manifested body of "Taishang Taoist Ancestor", so the Jade Emperor, Taishang Taoist Ancestor, and Buddha went to determine the tribulation and perform Taoism, but Taishang Laojun will still stay in the heaven.
Upon hearing this, Taishang Laojun immediately bowed his head and said: "Please rest assured, Great Heavenly Lord."
The Jade Emperor nodded slightly, then formed a seal with his hands, closed his eyes slightly, and then slowly disappeared into the mysterious light that illuminated the universe.
All the immortals, gods and officials immediately worshiped in unison: "Bearing farewell to the Great Heavenly Lord."
After the Jade Emperor left, Taishang Laojun and Buddha also left one after another. Finally, Taibai Jinxing flew forward again and sang to all the immortals, gods and officials: "The meeting of the great dynasty is over. Please invite all the immortals, gods and officials." Leave the Lingxiao Palace in order, return to your duties and dojo, and retire from the court."
Thus, the heavenly court meeting, which lasted for six hours, officially came to an end.
Fang Jian followed the immortals and gods out of the Lingxiao Palace, and then saw the emperors, Taoists, and Buddhist masters in heaven leaving Daluotian, and then returned to their respective duties and dojos by riding on a carriage or flying in the clouds and mist.
Fang Jian, after chatting with a few old acquaintances for a while outside the Lingxiao Palace, also left Tianting and went straight to Tianhefang.
Jiutian Xuannv's dojo is located in Mingsu Garden on Tianhefang. It was previously agreed to go to Mingsu Garden to visit Qingyi Boy after the meeting, but Fang Jian went to Penglai Tianjie first because he remembered that Qingyi Boy was very beautiful. Fang Jian likes to eat snacks, so Fang Jian had to go to Penglaitian Street to buy some delicious snacks for Qingyi boy to take with him.
Finally, after Fang Jian purchased more than a thousand kalpas worth of spiritual food, delicacies, and immortal wine in Penglai Tianjie, he climbed into the clouds and flew straight to Mingsu Garden.
