Heavenly Court, Daluotian, Lingxiao Palace.
The Jade Emperor held the talisman in his hand and said to the immortals and gods in the palace: "The imperial master has sent the talisman to revise some of the arrangements made before."
Having said this, the Jade Emperor said to Taiyi Ku Tianzun: "Fellow Taoist, the emperor has allowed you to go down to the lower realms to ferry people, so you don't have to deal with reincarnation again."
When Taiyi Jiku Tianzun heard this, he immediately bowed and said: "I thank your majesty and the emperor for their kindness."
The Jade Emperor nodded, and then said: "In the heaven, if there are those who wish to go to the lower world, they can voluntarily resign from the post of immortal officials and priests to the lower world. The emperor's master has said that anyone who is in the Great Luo Heaven can be protected by the emperor's master's great power and will not be judged. Influence. If you leave Daluotian, you will have to bear your own karma and will not be protected."
Having said this, the Jade Emperor said to the immortals and gods: "You don't have to rush to make a decision. After today's court meeting, the meeting will be adjourned for three days. It will not be too late to make a decision after three days in the celestial calendar."
Three days in the celestial calendar is three years in the earth calendar.
After saying that, the Jade Emperor asked Taiyi to save Ku Tianzun: "Where do you want to go after you go down to the next world?"
Taiyi Jiku Tianzun heard the words and immediately paid homage: "I am planning to go to Beiju Luzhou to see the True Lord Hongqing first."
"Okay." The Jade Emperor nodded and said with a smile: "He has just settled Fengting in Cangming Mountain and Luzhou in Beiju recently. There should be a lot of things to do. Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment." After the next court meeting, let’s go with the immortals who decided on the lower realm.”
Taiyi Ku Tianzun immediately bowed to him and said, "I sincerely obey your Majesty's decree."
Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and there was another small court meeting three days later. This time when the Jade Emperor asked how many people were willing to go down to the lower world, Tianpeng Yuansheng Zhenjun, Tianyou Zude Zhenjun, Yisheng Baode Zhenjun, Huaguangzhen Lord Ma Lingyao, Lord Xuantan Zhao Gongming, Lord Guangling Wen Qiong, Lord Xiezhen Guan Yu and others all decided to go to the lower world to save all sentient beings.
The Jade Emperor immediately approved it and told the immortals and gods that if there are still people in the lower realm in the future, they can also propose it at future court meetings, and the heaven will all allow the lower realm.
In this way, the first batch of immortals in the lower realm of heaven, headed by Taiyi Jiu Tianzun, resigned from the priesthood, paid their respects to the Jade Emperor and all the fellow Taoists, and then went from the lower realm of Beitianmen to Beiju Luzhou.
One day in the sky, one year on the earth, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Beiju Luzhou is full of vitality. Compared with the other three continents that are already in dire straits, it does not appear that Beiju Luzhou is currently in dire straits.
Hongqing Divine Mansion's first census of immortals in Beiju Luzhou has been successfully completed. When Taiyi rescued Ku Tianzun and others and went down to Beiju Luzhou, they were immediately noticed by the heavenly soldiers patrolling in the sky.
"Fellow Taoists in front of you, please wait." A group of hundreds of heavenly soldiers immediately chased forward, and then the leader Bai Zong saluted the stopped Taiyi Ku Tianzun and others and asked: "Where do all the gods come from?"
At this time, Tianpeng Yuansheng Zhenjun pointed at Taiyi to save Ku Tianzun and said: "This is Taiyi to save Ku Tianzun."
When the Commander-in-Chief of the Heavenly Soldiers heard this, his expression suddenly changed. Then he immediately became frightened and bowed respectfully: "Fang Han, Commander-in-Chief of the Demon-Suppressing Army, pays his respects to the Heavenly Lord."
Taiyi saved Ku Tianzun and ordered Fang Han to stand up with a smile, and then introduced the people behind him.
With the introduction of Taiyi Jiku Tianzun, Fang Han's face became more and more solemn and respectful, and finally he kept bowing and saluting.
After the introduction was completed, Fang Han immediately reported: "To the Heavenly Lord, to all the True Lords, I will allow the young general to go back to Duanjie Mountain to report to True Lord Hongqing."
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome." Taiyi Ku Tianzun smiled and said: "We want to see how different Beiju Luzhou becomes under the governance of Zhenjun Hongqing. Let's go down here and watch and walk along the way. Just go to Duanjie Mountain."
Hearing this, Fang Han hesitated a little and said: "Tianzun, all true kings, can you take out your immortal official jade certificate and show it to the young general?"
Taiyi Ku Tianzun and others were suddenly startled, and then they heard Taiyi Ku Tianzun laugh and say: "We have all resigned from the Immortal Official Priesthood, only retaining the Guo position. Now we only have the Immortal Urn and the Golden Medal, but there is no Immortal Official Jade Certificate. ”
When Fang Han heard this, he immediately said: "In that case, how about asking Tianzun and all the true kings to follow me to the Cangming Mountain station to apply for temporary identity certificates?"
"What? Proof of identity?" Zhao Gongming, the True Lord of Xuantan, said in surprise: "What is that?"
Fang Han immediately had to give a brief explanation of Fang Jian's 'immortal book census'. After Taiyi Jiku Tianzun and others heard this, they immediately looked at each other.
"Therefore, I also ask Tianzun and all the true kings to follow the young general to the Cangming Mountain station." Fang Han bowed his head.
Everyone was a little hard to understand. It was clear that the Heavenly Court had already issued an immortal certificate, which was the 'Immortal Treasure Gold Medal', so why did Fang Jian need to get an 'identity certificate'?
However, Taiyi Jiu Ku Tianzun said at this time: "Well, since you are here, you must do as the Romans do." After saying that, Taiyi Jiu Tianzun smiled at Fang Han and said: "Then please ask the young general to take us to the station to apply for temporary identity certificates. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, this is what a young general should do." Fang Han bowed and said.
Then Fang Han led Taiyi Rescue Ku Tianzun and his party towards the lower realm, and soon landed in Cangming Mountain in Yaobei Prefecture.
Three years have passed, and Cangming Mountain has become lush and green again, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the headquarters of the Hongqing Divine Palace Heavenly Army in Yaobei Prefecture is located in Cangming Mountain.
When Taiyi rescued Ku Tianzun and others and landed in Cangming Mountain, he saw countless tall and neat tombs standing on a mountain peak in the distance. He immediately asked: "Little general, what are those?"
Fang Han glanced at the words and then said: "Hui Tianzun, those are the tombs of the Phoenix Clan in Fengting Mountain, Cangming Mountain. There are more than five thousand in total."
"So many?" Zhenjun Yisheng Baode said with surprise on his face, "Could it be that they were all killed when Zhenjun Hongqing pacified Fengting in Cangming Mountain?"
Fang Han shook his head and said: "Not all of them, but most of them were strangled during the suppression of the rebellion, and some were executed later. In the end, the bodies were gathered up by the Phoenix people in Fengting of Linghua Mountain and buried in Cang In the Ming Mountain."
Hearing this, Guan Yu asked curiously: "Is there still a living Phoenix clan in Fengting of Cangming Mountain?"
"There are still more than three thousand." Fang Han said: "But they were all moved to Linghua Mountain by Zhenjun Hongqing, oh, that is, in Xihua Prefecture."
Everyone couldn't help but nodded, and Lord Tianyouzhide said: "It is said that Lord Hongqing is easy to kill, but I think that is exaggerated."
"Are these tombs approved by Lord Hongqing?" Taiyi Jiku Tianzun asked.
Fang Han nodded and said: "Yes, Lord Hongqing allowed Fengting of Linghua Mountain to collect the bones of the people of Fengting of Cangming Mountain and bury them in Cangming Mountain, and also allowed a ceremony to be held every year."
"Zhenjun Hongqing is so virtuous." Ma Lingyao said with emotion.
At this time, everyone had arrived at the station, and Fang Han took them to see the Jinque Guard envoy in the station.
When the Jinque Guard Guards learned about the origins of Taiyi's rescue of Tianzun and others, he first checked the golden seals of the immortal urn, and then directly applied for "temporary identity certificates" for Taiyi's rescue of Tianzun and others.
"This is the temporary identity certificate. Please keep it safe and don't lose it or damage it." The guard said respectfully.
Wen Qiong asked curiously: "What will happen if it is lost or damaged?"
The guarding envoy said: "The consequences are very serious. Last year, the Beiyue Emperor refused the Zhenjun's request to open the Beiyue Emperor's Palace and accept the census of immortals. The Zhenjun used the Chaos Bell to summon him to the end for the crime of 'disturbing the social order of Beiju Luzhou'. I went to Jieshan for a banquet, but I haven’t returned yet.”
The Great Emperor of Beiyue is naturally the Great Emperor of Antian Xuansheng of Hengshan Mountain in Beiyue. Hearing the words of the guardian, Taiyi Jiku Tianzun and others were shocked and said: "The Great Emperor of Beiyue was suppressed by Fang Jian?"
The guard envoy said quickly: "No, no, no, I was just invited to the Duanjie Mountain for a banquet, not suppressed."
"." Taiyi Jiu Ku Tianzun and others looked at each other, and then Tianpeng Yuansheng Zhenjun asked: "But why doesn't Heavenly Court know about such a big thing?"
Taiyi Ku Tianzun also nodded. Heavenly Court had indeed not received any news about this matter.
The guardian smiled and said: "Because we are attending a banquet, there is no need to report it to heaven."
Taiyi saved Ku Tianzun and others and looked at each other speechless. Fang Jian was getting more and more courageous. He was one of the five great emperors. He suppressed it as soon as he said it would be suppressed. But there shouldn't be any big trouble this time, right?
At this time, the guard envoy said: "To inform the Heavenly Lord and the true kings, the young general has made his own decision and arranged for Fang Han to be the guide for the Heavenly Lord and the emperors to introduce the scenery of Luzhou in Beiju in detail. What do you think of the Heavenly Lord and the true kings?"
When Taiyi Jiku Tianzun heard this, he immediately stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Very good, thank you for your help, young general."
After applying for the temporary identity certificate, Fang Han served as a guide and led Taiyi, Kutianzun and others to set off all the way to Xihuazhou.
Originally, it would only take five or six days to arrive in Teng Yun Jia Wu, but Taiyi saved Ku Tianzun and the others insisted on seeing Beiju Luzhou under Fang Jian's rule, so the trip was slowed down.
On the top of the mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, a mountain god was followed by nearly a hundred demon cultivators. The cultivation levels of these demon cultivators varied, ranging from the lowest level of Qi Refining Realm to the Mysterious Immortal Realm.
Taiyi Rescue Ku Tianzun and his party had noticed the evil spirit here a long time ago, so they asked Fang Han to take them here to have a look.
When they came to the top of the mountain, they saw this incredible scene. The mountain god was only in the Caiyang Divine Realm, so why were all the demons and immortals above the True Immortal Realm following him in an orderly manner?
"What are they doing?" Lord Yisheng Baode asked Fang Han.
Fang Han scratched his head and said, "This seems to be in the branch cave, I don't know for sure."
"Divided into caves?" Upon hearing this novel statement, Taiyi Zhu Ku Tianzun and others pondered for a moment, and then Tai Yi Zhu Ku Tianzun took the lead and walked forward and followed the mountain god.
"Hey, come one by one, don't jump in line." A demon cultivator from the True Immortal Realm said to Taiyi Ku Tianzun in front.
Taiyi Ku Tianzun smiled slightly and asked: "I am not a demon immortal, what are you doing?"
"Oh? Not a demon fairy?" These demon cultivators looked at Taiyi's costume of rescuing Ku Tianzun and others, and then they suddenly realized, "Are you the monks from Duanjie Mountain?"
Fang Han was about to step forward to introduce, but was stopped by Taiyi Ku Tianzun, and then said: "Yeah, what are you doing here?"
At this time, another Xuanxian realm demon cultivator said: "In Fendong Mansion, my kind father ordered the heavenly soldiers and generals to survey all the mountains in Luzhou, Beiju, and then divided the places with fairy energy and the places with spiritual energy into 'Shanghai'" The third-grade blessed land and the lower third-grade blessed land, any of these divided blessed lands can be used to open caves for cultivation."
"So the mountain god will give it to you?" Taiyi asked Ku Tianzun.
The Xuanxian Realm demon fairy nodded, and then said with admiration: "Yes, my loving father is truly the most merciful person in the world."
"The loving father you are talking about is Zhenjun Hongqing?" Zhao Gongming asked.
The Xuanxian realm demon cultivator looked at Zhao Gongming in surprise, and then said: "Yes, the only loving father in Luzhou, Beiju, is Zhenjun Hongqing."
Then Guan Yu asked: "Then how is this blessed land divided? Is it divided according to the Tao?"
"No." The demon cultivator from the Mysterious Immortal Realm said: "The monks who have become immortals can be allocated the upper third-grade blessed land, while the monks who have not become immortals will be allocated the lower third-grade blessed land. After the monks from the lower third-grade blessed land become immortals, they can apply to reclassify the upper third-grade blessed land. "
"This is indeed good governance." Taiyi Ku Tianzun said: "It is not uncommon for monks to fight over the geomantic treasures and open caves. Now, Zhenjun Hongqing has divided these geomantic treasures and blessed lands into grades and fairly distributed them, which has greatly eliminated the problem. This kind of fight.”
"Who says it's not the case." The demon cultivator from the Mysterious Immortal Realm said: "Back then, there were kings on every mountaintop, and they were constantly fighting for resources and blessed lands. Now that I think about it, it's really not worth it."
Another demon cultivator said: "What's not worth it? At that time, my loving father was serving in Heaven, and no one came to govern Beiju Luzhou. Isn't that situation normal? Our ancestors have been like this for many years. coming."
"Yes, only the coming of a loving father changed everything."
"Praise to the loving father."
"Praise to the loving father."
With that said, all the demon cultivators praised Fang Jian in front of Taiyi who saved Kutianzun and others, and they were in awe when they saw Taiyi saving Kutianzun and others.
At this time, the mountain god in front suddenly pointed to a bright mountain peak in front and said: "Leo, go to the third-grade blessed land, Runjin Mountain."
The Xuanxian Demon Cultivator who was the first to speak to Taiyi Ku Tianzun was happy, and he quickly stepped forward and worshiped: "Leo, thank you, Lord Mountain God."
"."
After Taiyi rescued Ku Tianzun and others and took a look at the blessed land of Fen Cave Mansion, they continued walking south. After walking for an unknown amount of time, everyone suddenly heard a sound of fighting coming from the mountain plain ahead.
Hearing this voice, Taiyi Jiku Tianzun and others suddenly became excited, secretly thinking Fang Jian, Fang Jian, no matter how well you manage, you can't prevent this kind of thing, right?
After saying that, everyone immediately walked towards Shanyuan. When they walked to the outside of Shanyuan and looked inside, they suddenly took a breath of cold air.
I saw an extremely huge stone platform in the mountain plain, covering an area of dozens of miles at a glance, and on the stone platform, there were countless demon cultivators fighting on it like ants as densely as ants.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Gongming pointed at the huge stone platform and asked Fang Han.
When Fang Han heard this, he immediately explained: "That is the 'Cause and Effect Platform', which is found in every state. It was built and hosted by the Huanzhou Gate. Three years ago, Zhenjun Hongqing issued an edict that Luzhou, Beiju, prohibited all private fights to eliminate cause and effect, so Huanzhou Headmaster Ding of the Zhou sect built this platform of cause and effect. All monks and monsters who have cause and effect with each other can come here to sign up, and will be supervised by the people of the Huanzhou sect. They can peacefully discuss the Tao and fight with each other. To eliminate cause and effect.”
Hearing this, Taiyi Jiku Tianzun and others felt incredulous, "Can it still be like this?"
In their view, cause and effect is the calamity of the monks themselves. Whenever you walk in the world, you will be contaminated by various causes and effects. It is difficult to escape from this kind of cause and effect. Unless you can cover up your secret, no matter how good you hide, sooner or later there will be cause and effect. They will also come to your door.
And calamity is a calamity that completely liquidates all causes and effects. The scene in front of them really makes Taiyi Jiku Tianzun and others a little unbelievable.
Later, Taiyi Kutianzun and his party entered the mountain plain in person and came to the stone platform to learn more about it.
When they came to the foot of the stone platform, two demon cultivators were signing a contract in the presence of the monks from the Huanzhou Sect.
Just listen to the demon cultivator on the left say: "Back then, you seriously injured me in a sneak attack and caused me to miss a magic weapon. Do you admit it?"
The demon cultivator on the right said: "I admit it."
The demon cultivator on the left said: "Okay, since you admit it, do you want to sign a sparring contract or a life and death contract?"
The sparring contract is to point to the end, aiming to determine the winner. A life-and-death contract will separate life and death, and is usually used for unending blood feuds.
The demon cultivator on the right said: "Of course it's a sparring match."
The demon cultivator on the left said: "Well, you have a total of three magic weapons and four thousand tribulation jade. If I win, these will be mine. If I lose, you compensate me with three thousand tribulation jade, and then All our hatred has been wiped out, do you agree or not?"
The demon cultivator on the right: "I agree."
So the monks from the Huanzhou Sect immediately put the deed on the table and said, "Then please press the seal."
Looking at the deed in front of them, the expressions of the two demon cultivators suddenly became extremely serious, as if they were on a pilgrimage.
Taiyi Jiku Tianzun glanced at the deed curiously, and saw that the beginning of the deed was written in black and white: "I swear to the great, kind and respectful father Hongqing Zhenjun: fighting on the stone platform will eliminate cause and effect. Abide by all the terms of the contract and never regret it.”
After the two demon cultivators pressed the seal, the cultivator of the Huanzhou Sect announced that the contract was officially effective, and then took the two people to the stage to fight and discuss. There is a large formation on the stone platform. As long as one party loses during the fight or a life is about to appear. If they are in danger, they will be immediately sent off the stone platform by the formation and declared failed.
And if it is a life and death contract, it must be divided into life and death.
The two demon cultivators came up to the stage, and the demon cultivators around them who had eliminated the cause and effect were still murderous and fighting to the death, but now they walked away chatting and laughing together, walking shoulder to shoulder.
Taiyi saved Ku Tianzun and others felt that their world view was gradually collapsing. The method of "saving all sentient beings" that they had insisted on before, but under the scene in front of them, they had to lament that the future generations were terrible.
In everyone's original concept of "saving all sentient beings", there are two methods. The first one is used by many great gods. They directly make a great wish to help all sentient beings in the three realms bear half of their sins and karma. This method is very easy to use and very simple. , especially as long as you are strong enough, even if you help all sentient beings bear the karmic karma, no one can really come to you to settle the karmic sin karma. Although doing so has great merit and quick results, there will also be heaven and earth when the calamity is measured. He accounts for cause and effect, which is why Daluo Jinxian is included in the calamity calculation.
The second kind is like the Taiyi God who saves suffering, who walks in the lower world to save all living beings, or when all living beings call out the title of "Taiyi Saves Suffering God", Taiyi God Who Saves Suffering will "answer" and come to relieve suffering.
However, this method is very slow and has a poor effect on resolving cause and effect. It can eliminate most of the sins and is difficult to sustain for a long time.
And now they see that Beiju Luzhou, whether it is the blessed land or the stone platform fighting method, fundamentally eliminates people's disputes and hatred, and naturally resolves the cause and effect, and most importantly, this method is feasible. continuous!
Taiyi saved Ku Tianzun and felt deeply ashamed at the moment. Why didn't he think of this method earlier? But in fact, it was useless even if he had thought of it earlier, because he was not someone like Fang Jian at all.
To achieve the current model of Beiju Luzhou, one must have absolute prestige and means, as well as the willingness to put down one's status and do practical things, and Fang Jian happens to have these three things.
Emperor Zhenwu actually had such prestige back then, but he was an emperor after all and would not care about such things at all. All he had to do was suppress these monsters in Luzhou, Beiju, so that they would not dare to make big news for you from time to time. That's it.
Under a series of shocks, Taiyi Kutianzun and his party immediately decided to continue walking south towards Duanjie Mountain. They also wanted to see how many surprises were waiting for them behind.
