"I report to the Great Emperor Ziwei that all the gods and immortals have entered the palace, and there is no missing person in each line of immortals."
After lighting a stick of incense, the gods finished lighting the candles and Taibai Jinxing reported to Emperor Ziwei.
Emperor Ziwei nodded slightly, then Taibai Jinxing turned around and announced to the gods, "The court meeting has begun."
As the meeting officially began, all the gods who were discussing in low voices immediately became quiet and solemn.
Emperor Ziwei glanced at the gods and immortals, and immediately spoke: "All the immortals must have known that the real demons of the outside world have entered the world, the great catastrophe has settled in this world, and the connection between heaven and the world has been destroyed by the catastrophe. Cut off, all the immortals, officials and divine mansions in the world are now in danger."
Hearing Emperor Ziwei's words, the gods in Heaven were immediately alarmed. Although Heaven has not established a system of Immortal Officials and Divine Mansion in all the lower realms of the world, aren't the Immortal Officials in those realms that have been established in danger?
At this time, I heard Emperor Ziwei say: "This catastrophe is extraordinary. It is the strongest catastrophe among all the catastrophes. No matter heaven, Taoism, or Buddhism, we must be prepared for it."
Upon hearing this, all the gods and immortals immediately worshiped in unison: "I will obey the decree of the law."
Emperor Ziwei then said to Guanshiyin Bodhisattva on the side: "Fellow Taoist, it is up to you to speak about the demonic calamity."
Upon hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva bowed to Emperor Ziwei and said, "Yes."
Then all the gods and immortals listened to Guanyin Bodhisattva say: "This time the external demons entered the world, in order to set off the great tribulation and set a foothold in the manifest world. The Chaos Yuan Mo ordered the six great external demons to make a great vow to the way of heaven, willing to set up the demonic tribulation for the present world. By opening the path of demons, can you know the true demons of the six outer realms?"
King Tota heard this and said, "Are the Bodhisattvas talking about the six demons: Buddha, demon, heart demon, blood demon, six desires demon, seven emotion demon, and formless demon?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded and said: "King Tuota is right. It is these six demons. These six demons have made a great vow. Since then, they have incarnated into the six great demon tribulations and settled in this world, opening a demonic path for all living beings to become immortals. the road."
"The devil has become an immortal?" The expressions of the gods and immortals changed, and they all looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said: "If you want to become an immortal in this world, you must have the approval of heaven to send down a thunder tribulation. This is called 'achieving the heavenly immortality'. But to become an immortal in the devil's way, you don't need to survive the thunder tribulation, you only need to survive the devil's tribulation." It can become an immortal of the demonic path, and the true demons of the outsiders named it 'Tribulation Immortal.'
"The Tribulation Immortal is a false immortal." As soon as Guanyin Bodhisattva finished speaking, another divine voice came down to the sky. Everyone saw that it was the leader of the Taoist sect who came to attend the court meeting for the first time. The Taoist behavior Hunyuan Wuji Luo Jinxian's Doumu Yuanjun.
Doumu Yuanjun said: "The Tribulation Immortal said it was about becoming an immortal, but it actually made the monks become demons. After becoming demons, the monks would have no boundaries and have the power to compete with immortals. As long as they are not killed, they can become immortal. They are just different from immortals. However, they do not follow the path of true immortals, so they are "false immortals."
"But the way of pseudo-immortality is very attractive to those monks who cannot become immortals." Guanyin Bodhisattva said.
After listening to the words of Doumu Yuanjun and Guanyin Bodhisattva, all the gods in the hall had a bad premonition. Emperor Nanhua, one of the Nine Emperors of Shenxiao, said: "In this way, how can the monks in the lower world who are separated from each other be affected? Isn’t it possible for everyone to become a ‘tribulation immortal’?”….
"Not bad." Doumu Yuanjun said.
At this time, even Fang Jian realized the seriousness of the problem. The reason is very simple. It is too difficult to pass the test of heaven and become a 'celestial being'.
Because the assessment in heaven is extremely strict, especially the monks' personal morality, realm, and merits are all very high.
The Tribulation Immortal of the Demonic Way is different. As long as you survive the Demonic Tribulation, you can become a Tribulation Immortal. To put it nicely, it is to overcome the Demonic Tribulation. To put it bluntly, it means becoming a demon and falling into the Demonic Way.
Then it's simple. You have to go through thousands of hardships to fight for that one-ten-thousandth chance of becoming an immortal? Or should he just close his eyes and become possessed by the devil, and become a Tribulation Immortal?
Especially for the Demonic Tribulation Immortal, not only is it easy to become an immortal, but as long as he is not killed, he will remain immortal, and he can also have the power to compete with the immortals. It is not difficult to imagine which one most people will choose.
"In this case, we must open up the lower realms of the world as soon as possible." Jiutian Yingyuan Thunder Universal Transformation Tianzun said.
However, Guanyin Bodhisattva shook his head and said, "It's not that easy. The six demons that the poor monk mentioned before not only incarnated in the six great demon tribulations and opened up the path of 'tribulation immortality', but also settled in the present world and became all living beings in the present world." The 'magic calamity,."
"Do you know about the demon species that fell into this world last time?" Guanyin Bodhisattva asked again.
All the gods nodded, indicating that they knew.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said: "The previous demon species was just a blank demon species, but the current demon species contains the six major demon species, namely: Buddha demon species, heart demon species, and blood demon species." The six major demon species are the demon species of six desires, the demon species of seven emotions, and the demon species without form."
"But that's not what's more difficult." Guanyin Bodhisattva said with a serious face: "What's even more difficult is that even after the great tribulation is over, the way of the immortal calamity and the six demon species will It will not disappear, but will settle down in this world and become a destiny in this world."
When all the gods heard this, they also showed worried expressions. Emperor Shenwu, Emperor Jun, even said to Fang Jian: "Zhenjun Hongqing, in order to deal with this 'way to rob immortals,' Taishi Immortal City has a system for assessing monks to become immortals. Do you need to change it too?"
After hearing what Emperor Jun said, Emperor Zhenwu also said: "The assessment should be relaxed."
Fang Jian was already thinking about this matter. After hearing this, he cupped his hands and said, "What the two emperors said is that I am considering it."
At this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva said to Emperor Ziwei: "I would like to inform Emperor Ziwei that the poor monk has finished speaking about the evil calamity."
"Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoist." Emperor Ziwei smiled.
Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled slightly, then bowed and returned to the ranks of Buddhist immortals.
At this time, Emperor Ziwei said: "Have all the immortals already understood this great catastrophe?"
All the gods worshiped one after another: "Return to Emperor Ziwei, I understand."
Emperor Ziwei nodded, and then said: "The most important thing now is to open up the world below. Although this is my duty in heaven, it also requires the help of Taoism and Buddhism."
Hearing this, the two speakers, Dou Mu Yuanjun and Guanyin Bodhisattva, one Buddha of the Way, immediately bowed their heads and bowed: "I will obey the decree of the Dharma."
After the merger of Heavenly Court and Taoist sect, the Daluo of Daoist sect have the same honor and authority in Heavenly Court, and their position of honor is the same as that of the great emperors of Heavenly Court. Therefore, Daluo of Daoist sect can also issue edicts in the name of Heavenly Court, and the edicts are the same as those of Heavenly Emperors. ….
Therefore, Heavenly Court and Taoism are now one family, and what Emperor Ziwei said, "We need the help of Taoism and Buddhism," was actually mainly meant for Buddhism.
After both Doumu Yuanjun and Guanyin Bodhisattva made it clear that they would firmly stand on the side of heaven in the great catastrophe, Emperor Ziwei began to make arrangements.
"Your Majesty Taiyi protects the Tao and Youde Zhenjun." Emperor Ziwei shouted.
Kunpeng immediately came out of the queue and said, "I am here."
Emperor Ziwei issued a talisman edict, saying: "I order you to hold my talisman and go out to control the Jamfu world. All the emperors, emperors and immortal officials of the gods in the Jamfu world will obey your orders."
Kunpeng was startled when he heard this. He didn't expect that Emperor Ziwei would give him such great authority.
You must know that he is only assisting Lord Tiantian, but Emperor Ziwei allows him to go out to control the world of Jamfu and command all the emperors and immortal officials of the gods in Jamfu. What does this mean? This is tantamount to "ordering the monarch with a minister," commanding the monarch in the name of a minister. This authority is powerful enough.
However, the Five Mountains Emperor and the Yinsi Emperors were not displeased at all. The reason was very simple. Kunpeng was the Great Luo Jinxian, and he was a great power that existed in ancient times.
At present, under the background of this catastrophe, it is reasonable and reasonable to let Da Luo Jinxian go out to control the world of Jambudvipa. Are you not happy? Do you want to object? Then go ahead and do it.
"O minister, I sincerely abide by the decree of the law." Kunpeng immediately accepted the edict and bowed in response.
Then Emperor Ziwei called out again: "Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun."
Erlang Shen came out and paid homage: "I am here."
Emperor Ziwei issued an imperial edict, saying: "I order you to sit in Nanzhan Buzhou." After saying this, Emperor Ziwei hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "You must listen to the orders of the True Lord Protecting the Dao and Youde."
Erlangshen is not only highly capable, but also an arrogant person. He is asked to listen to the orders of someone who is also the assistant to Tianzhenjun.
, even Emperor Ziwei was a little unsure.
But Erlang Shen is not a conceited or narrow-minded person. Hearing this, he said: "Fellow Taoist Kunpeng is the Great Luo Jinxian. He walks above me and works for the livelihood of the people of Nanzhan Buzhou. I am willing to help Taoist Kunpeng stabilize Nanzhan Buzhou."
The meaning of Erlang Shen's words is very simple and very arrogant. Kunpeng is a Daluo Jinxian, and his Taoism is higher than mine. I respect him on this point, and it is really to protect all living beings in Nanzhan Buzhou, so I am willing to listen to his orders.
Hearing Erlangshen's answer, Emperor Ziwei breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried just now that if Erlangshen was arrogant and directly resisted the order, he would really be unable to stand down.
Kunpeng also bowed to Erlang Shen. Seeing this, Erlang Shen also smiled and bowed to Kunpeng in return.
After making arrangements for Erlang Shen, Emperor Ziwei was no longer so cautious and immediately called out: "Zhenpeng Yuansheng Zhenjun."
"I'm here."
"I order you to sit in Luzhou, Beiju, and obey the orders of Lord Protector Youde."
"I obey your decree."
"The True Lord Tianyou holds the virtue, and he orders you to sit in Dongsheng Shenzhou and obey the orders of the True Lord Youde, who protects the Dao."
"I obey your decree."
"Yi Sheng Baode Zhenjun, orders you to sit in Xiniu Hezhou and obey the orders of Zhenjun Baode Youde."
"I obey your decree."
At this time, the five auxiliary Tianzhen Lords all arranged to take charge of the Jambudur World. Regardless of whether the devil would attack the Jambudur World, they should be prepared and not take any chances in this kind of thing. ….
Next is the important task of opening up the realms of the world. Emperor Ziwei said: "Establish Tongtian Mansion, which will be fully responsible for opening up the realms of the world. Tongtian Mansion has the right to mobilize all the people in heaven, Taoism, and Buddhism who are in charge of everything." All powers other than Da Luo and Da Emperor."
Having said this, Emperor Ziwei paused slightly and said: "Tongtian Mansion has set up the Tongtian Order. Three people, one from Tianting, one from Taoism, and one from Buddhism, have full authority over the affairs of Tongtian Mansion."
Then Emperor Ziwei looked at Doumu Yuanjun and said, "Fellow Taoist, is it certain that the Taoist sect will be appointed as the Tongtian leader?"
Doumu Yuanjun and the other Taoist disciples looked at each other, and then said, "Bixia Yuanjun."
Emperor Ziwei nodded and said, "Where is Bixia Yuanjun?"
Wearing a plain Taoist robe of Bixia Wan, wearing a crown of flowers on his head, Bixia Yuanjun, who has a beautiful face and Yunzhi fairy appearance, responded: "I am here."
Emperor Ziwei said: "I appoint you as the Tongtian Order to take charge of all affairs in Tongtian Mansion."
Bixia Yuanjun bowed and said, "I sincerely obey the law."
Then Emperor Ziwei asked Guanyin Bodhisattva: "Fellow Taoist, is there any final decision on the candidate for Buddhism?"
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva put his hands together and said, "Peacock Great Ming King."
The Great Emperor Ziwei shouted again: "Where is the Peacock King Ming?"
I saw the Vajra Buddha Mother Peacock King Ming, who was dressed in a colorful jade cassock, with a majestic appearance and a graceful figure, walking out. He put his hands together and bowed and said, "The poor monk is here."
Emperor Ziwei said: "I order you to be the Tongtian Order of Tongtian Mansion and be in charge of all affairs in Tongtian Mansion."
The Peacock King of Ming Dynasty immediately bowed and said, "The poor monk respectfully obeys the decree of Emperor Ziwei."
Finally, Emperor Ziwei looked around at the gods in heaven and said slowly: "Other than the emperors in heaven, who can take up the post of Tongtian Order?"
Do you even need to ask this kind of thing? King Tuota immediately came out to pay homage and said, "Returning to the Great Emperor Ziwei, I believe that the person who takes up the post of Tongtian Ling in the Heavenly Court must be Lord Hongqing."
Although they often have different ideas, the gods in heaven fully recognize Fang Jian's strength, and once he takes up the post of Tongtian Order, he will have to work with King Peacock and Bixia Yuanjun. During this period, there will definitely be many disputes, and it is inevitable to have to deal with specific matters. In matters of affairs, people from Taoism and Buddhism were offended, so all the gods in heaven came out unanimously to recommend Fang Jian after King Tota.
First, Fang Jian is strong enough, but none of us can match him.
Second, Fang Jian's head is tough enough that Taoism and Buddhism cannot touch him.
So, all that being said, of course...
"Zhenjun Hongqing is the most suitable one, the Great Emperor!" All the gods enthusiastically recommended Fang Jian to serve as the Tongtian Order.
So Emperor Ziwei pushed the boat along the current and called out: "Fang Jian."
Fang Jian immediately responded, bowed and said, "I am here."
The Great Emperor Ziwei said: "I order you to concurrently serve as the Tongtian Order as the God of Justice and the Immortal Lord of Taishi, and to be in charge of the Tongtian Mansion together with the two Taoist friends Bixia Yuanjun and Peacock Daming King to open up the channels to all heavens and all realms. In addition, when the heavens are opened, if there are heavenly courts, Taoists, Buddhas, gods, or gods who violate the laws of heaven, or encounter demons or false immortals, you will execute the laws of heaven with the authority of the judicial gods, and you will decide everything in accordance with the "laws of heaven" without reporting. Play."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately bowed and said, "I will obey the law!"
Finally, Emperor Ziwei said: "Marshal Qingtian, Hedao Heavenly Master, Heavenly Protector Lord, Holy Master, Zhoutian Divine Lord, Three-day Spiritual God, Thirty-six Heavenly Lord God, Dharma-protecting Heavenly King, Four Levels of Merits, Ten Fanghaishen, Source King, central heavenly officials, heavenly generals, and all heavenly soldiers, heavenly generals, Taoists, Buddhas, and gods all need to listen to Tongtian Mansion’s dispatches without any mistakes. Opening up the heavens and all realms to prevent sentient beings from falling into the devil’s path, the merits are immeasurable. If Anyone who is negligent will be severely punished by the God of Justice according to the "Articles of Heaven", and there will be no mercy!"
As soon as Emperor Ziwei said these words, all the gods in the Lingxiao Hall responded to the mountain call and worshiped: "I will obey the law!"
Emperor Ziwei said: "The great Luo and the emperors will stay. The rest of the immortal ministers can retreat to the lower hall and return to their respective departments to perform their duties and wait for dispatch."
Taibai Jinxing: "Emperor Ziwei's decree: All the great Luo and emperors will stay, and the rest of the immortal ministers will retreat to the lower hall and return to their respective departments to perform their duties and wait for dispatch!"
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
silly Taoist
