Tongtian Mansion has opened up five more realms, namely: Yuanling Realm, Lupang Realm, Hewan Realm, Qingxi Realm, and Luancang Realm.
Fortunately, these five realms have not been invaded by real demons for the time being, but there are some creatures with demon seeds in their hearts, but Fang Jian believes that Taoism and Buddhism will solve it.
Of course, the heavenly soldiers and generals of heaven will solve it better. At this stage, "demons" are the enemies of heaven and are "illegal", so the heavenly soldiers and generals only need to use the simplest way to solve it.
Fang Jian immediately went to Lingxiao Palace to report the news to the Nine Emperors of Shenxiao. After receiving the report, the Nine Emperors of Shenxiao were very satisfied and ordered to reward the meritorious people.
After Fang Jian withdrew from the Lingxiao Palace, he sent the list of meritorious persons reported by Bixia Yuanjun and Peacock King Ming to Taixuandu Province together with his imperial edict, and ordered Taixuandu Province to draft the edict. Commendation.
The reward this time will be escorted to Fang Jian the next time he goes to Tongtian Realm. However, Chen Jiantang has already received the reward. This time, the reward Chen Jiantang received is one hundred thousand calamity jade and more than ten fairy fruits that increase his Taoism and cultivation. , and one more thing to remember.
All "merits" will not be eliminated after receiving awards, but the merits will always be recorded there. In the future, if there are vacancies for high-ranking positions in heaven, priority will be given to promoting those who have made the most contributions.
Fang Jian's promotion followed the same process, except that he made a great achievement at random, which is something that others need to accumulate thousands of years to achieve.
Heavenly Court, Douling Garden.
This is one of the "Nine Palaces and Ten Gardens" of Heaven, which can be understood as the "park" for the gods in Heaven.
Fang Jian stood by the lotus pond of Douling Garden, looking at the green lotus flowers in the pond and the cranes resting and playing in the lotus pond. Behind him was Wu Dexingjun, the chief envoy of Tianshu Province.
"Zhenjun Hongqing, I think I should report to the Nine Emperors of Shenxiao to lift the ban on "Huaguang Baogun". "Wude Xingjun said to Fang Jian.
Fang Jian's eyes flashed slightly and he said with a smile: "You should know that there are several emperors among the Nine Emperors of Shenxiao who are against Huaguang Baogun."
"But when is it now?" Wude Xingjun said: "The devil's way has broken the way of the true spirit of Nuwa. Now everyone only has the true spirit of the palace, temple and courtyard. Once it falls, the last true spirit will be lost. It is also consumed. I think that judging from the current situation, it is imperative to equip the heavenly soldiers with magical weapons such as Huaguang Baogun, so that we can protect our heavenly soldiers more effectively."
Fang Jian nodded and said, "You are right, but they will not lift the ban on Huaguang Baogun."
"How will you know if you don't try it?" Wude Xingjun said to Fang Jian: "Zhenjun Hongqing, I would like to take the lead in writing to the Nine Emperors of Shenxiao to clarify the pros and cons, and to request that the ban on Huaguang Baogun be lifted so that it can be assembled in large numbers with heavenly weapons. .”
Fang Jian turned around and looked at Wude Xingjun and said, "Okay."
Upon hearing this, Wude Xingjun was immediately surprised and said: "Zhenjun Hongqing, do you support me?"
Fang Jian said: "It is most appropriate for you to submit the memorial as the chief envoy of Tianshu Province. After you submit the memorial, I will second the proposal."
Wude Xingjun was overjoyed and immediately said, "Thank you so much, Lord Hongqing. I will go back and write the memorial now."
"Yes." Fang Jian nodded and said, "Bring it to me to read after you finish writing it."
Wude Xingjun bowed his hands and said, "Yes."
After Wude Xingjun left, Fang Jian continued to wander in Douling Garden, but he was actually thinking about things about "Tian Tiao".
"Articles of Heaven" are the laws and regulations governing the three realms of Heaven. Fang Jian has been to Langhuan Pavilion recently and reviewed all the changes in "Articles of Heaven" since the establishment of Heavenly Court.
But without exception, no matter how the Tian Tiao is changed, it is a very general law and has not been broken down into subdivisions. Including the current version of the "Tian Tiao", it only summarizes crimes in a general direction and gives manner of judgment.
Fang Jian understood very well that it was not that the Heavenly Court was unable to subdivide the "Articles of Heaven" into extremely detailed provisions like the laws of various countries on Earth, but that the situation did not allow it.
To understand this issue, we must first understand one thing. The "Articles of Heaven" of Heaven at this stage and for a long time to come are "ruled by men." This is caused by objective reasons.
First of all, the legitimacy of the Heavenly Court lies in the Jade Emperor and the Great Heavenly Lord, not in the system and structure of the Heavenly Court. If the Heavenly Rules were to lose the Jade Emperor and the Great Heavenly Lord, not to mention whether the Heavenly Way would still give you the authority to rule the three realms, you would be in the eyes of others. Here, Heaven is just a religious force like Taoism and Buddhism.
This special situation determines that the nature of "Tian Tiao" can only be ruled by humans. Of course, there is another reason, that is, this is the world of immortality.
The essence of the immortal world is that Taoism is respected and strength is respected. The emergence of Tianting and "Tian Tiao" has changed a large part of the "strength is respected" status quo, at least giving the weak and the strong a relatively equal status, allowing the strong to have a relatively equal status. No longer can those who wantonly oppress and bully the weak.
The manifestation of the rule of man in "The Rules of Heaven" is that if you want to restrict those powerful people, you must let another powerful person preside over the "Articles of Heaven". The essence of this situation is to let a strong person use his strength to enforce the Rules of Heaven. To intimidate other strong men.
Therefore, no matter how refined the "Articles of Heaven" are, it will ultimately come back to the strong man using his own strength, and then using the "Articles of Heaven" as legitimacy to punish other strong men who violate the laws of Heaven.
If the rule of law is implemented like other countries on the earth, can a true immortal hold the "Tiao of Heaven" to enforce the law against a group of golden immortals and Taiyi golden immortals? No, the result is that this true immortal walked up to a Taiyi Golden Immortal with the "Tian Tiao" and said: "You have violated the Tian Tiao, now come back with me to be punished."
Then the Taiyi Golden Immortal would directly slap the true immortal to the ground, and then taunted: "You said "Tian Tiao" makes me want to laugh."
Fang Jian is now the God of Justice, and he seems to have great authority in controlling the "Articles of Heaven", but this authority comes more from his strength enough to frighten those powerful people, and the essence is still the rule of man.
Besides, now that he is not even qualified to formulate the rules of heaven, what power does he have to change the nature of the rules of heaven?
Therefore, Fang Jian believes that only after he becomes the emperor in charge of "Tian Tiao" can he be truly qualified to change this status quo.
Fang Jian does not think that he is truly impartial and selfless. He also makes mistakes and makes mistakes sometimes, but he can at least guarantee that he can realize the fairness of the "Articles of Heaven", punish those who are guilty, reward those who have merit, protect the weak, and supervise the strong. , punish evil and reward good...
At this time, Fang Jian couldn't help but think of his "Hongqing Yulu".
Since the "Treaty of Heaven" is a law made by the strong to bind others, its essence is always a "rule of man" law that can only be implemented by powerful force.
But if the "Articles of Heaven" are turned into natural rules and the yardstick for all things, will the rule of law be achieved?
No, both the legal systems of the countries on earth and the current human governance of heaven are unstable and unrealistic, and they are not the final answer.
There is only one final answer: turn the laws of heaven directly into the laws of heaven and the laws of natural operation! This is the most stable.
Obviously, the "Hongqing Jade Law" can do this, because the laws of heaven in the Hongqing Jade Law are directly realized in the form of heavenly laws and natural rules.
If this can be achieved, no matter what the future judicial gods are, even if they are true immortals, they will be able to truly transcend everything.
Thinking of this, Fang Jian couldn't help but feel enlightened and excited, and immediately whispered softly: "I am born with talents that will be useful..."
"Eh? Who is reciting my poem?" A slightly confused voice sounded behind him. Fang Jian turned around in shock and saw Li Bai, dressed in white, walking from the corner of a pavilion's corridor.
"..." Fang Jian was speechless. Does this count as "following the rules"?
When Li Bai saw Fang Jian standing by the lotus pond, his expression changed. He immediately walked up to Fang Jian and said, "Taoist disciple Li Bai, pay your respects to Zhenjun Hongqing."
Fang Jian smiled slightly, extended his right hand to support him and said, "You don't have to be polite, fellow Taoist, please get up."
"Thank you, Lord Hongqing." Li Bai thanked him and then stood up straight.
Fang Jian said with a smile: "I didn't expect that just after I read a poem by fellow Taoist, I met fellow Taoist with my own eyes. This is really fate."
Li Bai also smiled and said: "It is Xiaoxian's blessing that True Lord Hongqing can recite Xiaoxian's poems. Does Lord Hongqing also like this Douling Garden?"
? "
Fang Jian shook his head and said, "It's okay, but I have some troubles that I can't figure out today, so I came here to take a walk in Douling Garden."
"Oh? Something that can trouble Lord Hongqing must be a big deal. Could it be something related to Buddhism?" When Fang Jian heard this, he looked at Li Bai in surprise and asked, "What's wrong with Buddhism?"
Li Bai was full of surprise when he heard this, "Don't you know, Lord Hongqing? Something big has happened in Buddhism recently."
At this point, Li Bai saw that Fang Jian might really not know, so he took the initiative to say: "Oh, Zhenjun Hongqing is now in charge of opening up the heavens and the world, and he is in charge of everything. It is reasonable not to know about Buddhism. The thing about Buddhism is simple to say, that is, many Buddhist disciples have given birth to demon seeds in their Taoist hearts, and they are demon seeds of "Buddha and Demon Waveshun". "
"Buddha and Demon!" Fang Jian's face condensed, and then asked: "What is the situation in Buddhism now?"
Li Bai shook his head and said: "The situation is very serious. Seventy percent of Buddhist monks below the True Immortal level are possessed by demons. The number of demonic disciples above the True Immortal Realm and below the Taiyi Golden Immortal has also reached 50%. Buddha Demons, the Demons of Buddhism, Tathagata Buddha once predicted the "End of Dharma Age". In that era, Buddhism will no longer exist and the Pure Land of Buddhism will be filled with demons. That kind of situation is scary just thinking about it. "
Fang Jian also frowned. He suddenly remembered the Buddhist monks who were still in the lower realm. He didn't know if any of them were possessed by demons. Thinking of this, Fang Jian decided to go to Tongtian Realm to check as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Fang Jian let out a breath, then looked at the swaying lotus flowers in the pond. Suddenly he felt something in his heart. He raised his hand and pointed at the lotus pond and said to Li Bai: "Come, I order you to use the beautiful scenery of the lotus pond as your guide." Question, write a poem."
"Ah?" Li Bai was surprised when he heard this, and then he quickly bowed and cupped his hands and said, "My Lord Hongqing, please forgive me, but Xiaoxian can no longer write poems."
When Fang Jian heard this, he suddenly said with some displeasure: "It's just a poem. With your name as the "Poetry Immortal", you must have picked it up casually. Why do you perfunctory me and say that you can't write poetry?" "
Li Bai smiled bitterly and said: "Zhenjun Hongqing didn't know that Xiaoxian's poems have long been widely circulated in both immortal and mortal realms, and many poems far better than Xiaoxian's have emerged. At that time, Xiaoxian once saw a younger generation in the world. He wrote better poems based on Xiaoxian's poems, which made Xiaoxian quite embarrassed. In addition, Xiaoxian has been focusing on practicing these years, and it is true that he can no longer write poems."
At this point, Li Bai was afraid that Fang Jian would not believe it, so Li Bai added: "If Lord Hongqing has free time, you can go to the "Tianshi Pavilion" on the Four Heavenly Streets and ask. There is a saying widely circulated among the poets of Tianshi Pavilion. "
"What are you talking about?" Fang Jian asked.
Li Bai immediately imitated the arrogant and disdainful look and tone of those later generations of poets and said: ""Li Bai? He is not just a poetry immortal, what does he know about writing poetry?"
Fang Jian: "..."
