The 'Jade Rules and Golden Seal of Merit Book' is a copy of the 'Tiandao Treasure', but under today's new situation, it is no longer appropriate to use the 'Jade Rule and Golden Seal of Merit Book' to govern the three realms.
Therefore, Fang Jian took the "Jade Rules and Golden Seal Merit Book" back to the "Tiandao Baolu" and destroyed it, and then used the "Tiandao Baolu" to issue two new volumes of "copies".
The copies of these two volumes are respectively "Taichu Immortal's True Karma Map·Yang Scroll" and "Taichu Immortal's True Karma Bitmap·Yin Scroll". The Yang Scroll governs all the male immortals below Daluo Jinxian in the three realms of the present world, and the Yin Scroll governs the three realms of the present world. All female immortals below Daluo Jinxian.
At the same time, at the Lingxiao Palace, Fang Jian handed over the copies of the two volumes to the two great emperors. The Yang volume was in the hands of the East Prince, and the Yin volume was in the hands of the Queen Mother of the West.
"From now on, all Qianxian will be controlled by the "Taichu Immortal True Karma Bitmap Yang Juan". After death, the spirit will be captured and returned to Zifu Continent, and will be controlled by His Majesty the Eastern Prince."
"All Kunxian immortals are controlled by the "Taichu Immortal True Karma Bitmap·Yin Scroll". After death, they are captured, and their souls return to the Yaochi Fairyland, under the control of His Majesty the Queen Mother of the West."
"Regardless of Taoism, Buddhism, demons, spirits, and gods and monks of various religions, they are all subject to the jurisdiction, without exception."
The Duke of the East and the Queen Mother of the West raised their hands to take the copy into their hands, and then nodded slightly towards Fang Jian. As the two of them were great emperors, they naturally did not need to salute Fang Jian.
There was a lot of surprise in the Lingxiao Palace. As a result, the underworld was no longer in charge of the affairs of the Immortal Family.
Sure enough, I heard Fang Jian say to Emperor Fengdu: "Fellow Taoist, from now on, the underworld will only be in charge of the mortal beings in the three realms, and will no longer be in charge of the lives of the immortals. The fate of the immortals and monks in the three realms will be controlled by the East Prince and the Queen Mother of the West. After death, their souls will return to the East and West. Mansion, after receiving orders from the two great emperors, you can go to the underworld to reincarnate or be punished."
Emperor Fengdu immediately bowed and said: "I sincerely obey the decree of Emperor Hongqing."
At this moment, Emperor Fengdu's heart was very complicated. This was Fang Jian's second reduction of power in the underworld, and it should still be for the 'favor account'.
However, the reduction of power this time did not make him lose face, because this time two great emperors took over the power.
However, when Emperor Fengdu thought about it carefully, he felt much more relaxed, because controlling the destiny of gods was a matter of pros and cons for the underworld.
The 'profit' lies in the favor account, and the underworld can make friends with powerful people from all sides.
The disadvantage is that the souls of many immortals in the Three Realms cannot be collected if you want. If a certain Daluo detains the souls of his disciples and prevents them from entering the underworld, this situation will be very troublesome.
After Nezha cut off his bones to return to his father and his flesh to return to his mother, his soul wandered between heaven and earth, and the underworld did not dare to collect the soul. It was not that he forgot to collect it, but Taiyi Daojun said hello, who dared to collect it? ?
Then Nezha's soul 'wandered' to Taoist Taiyi's dojo, and Taoist Taiyi finally refinished his lotus body for him.
Now that the Duke of the East and the Queen Mother of the West have taken over this authority, although the underworld has lost some of its 'advantages', it has also eliminated its 'disadvantages'.
However, Fang Jian did not do this just to reduce the power of the underworld, but because the epiphany that day made him understand that the underworld cannot control the "life and death" of gods at all. The "accidental arrest" of Sun Wukong's soul in the first place is a clear proof.
The Duke of the East and the Queen Mother of the West are the first immortals of the three realms, born from the innate Yang Qi. One is the head of Kunxian, born from the innate yin energy. He originally has the authority and great power to 'reconcile yin and yang, summon all spirits, and govern the true sage'.
At this time, it is most appropriate to give the authority to control the destiny of the gods to the two great emperors, especially since the two great emperors are Da Luo Jinxian who have been enlightened for many years, and are strong enough to rule the immortals of the three realms.
Of course, Fang Jian also invited the two great emperors in Daluotian to discuss the matter in advance. Only after the two great emperors agreed did Fang Jian officially announce the matter at today's court meeting.
Then Fang Jian asked the immortals and gods in the Lingxiao Hall if they had anything important to report, and then there were various reports about the 'evil god'.
After Fang Jian and other gods finished their report, they all replied in unison: "I am trying to deal with the evil god's matter. After you all return to the palace, you will first patrol the four directions according to the instructions of Empress Nuwa to suppress the evil god. After I make a decision, There is a decree of its own."
When the gods heard the words, they immediately bowed and said: "Yes, I sincerely abide by the decree of Emperor Hongqing."
Then Fang Jian announced the end of the small court meeting. After first inviting the two great emperors to return home, Fang Jian left the Lingxiao Palace and returned to his Taisu Palace under the respectful greetings of the gods.
Fang Jian, who returned to Taisu Palace, immediately called Hei Hai'er and issued a talisman to him: "You should immediately go down to the Western Paradise to meet the 'Eastern Buddha' and pass on my will to ask him to go to heaven to discuss matters."
Hei Hai'er immediately accepted the Fu Zhao, bowed and said, "Yes, Master."
After Hei Hai'er left, Fang Jian sent a message directly to Tushita Palace and invited Taishang Laojun to come to Taisu Palace to discuss matters.
Not long after, Taishang Laojun landed outside Dongzhen Palace and walked in without waiting for the heavenly soldiers to report.
Fang Jian looked at the Heavenly Soldier who was following Taishang Laojun and looked extremely uneasy, and gently waved his hand to signal him to go down.
The Heavenly Soldier immediately bowed to Fang Jian, then turned around and exited the Dongzhen Hall.
"You scared the heavenly soldiers on duty in front of my palace." Fang Jian stood up, walked down the hall and said to the old gentleman.
Taishang Laojun said with a smile: "This is not because of Pindao. It's because you, the Hongqing Emperor, have such a fierce reputation that even if Pindao goes to see Emperor Wuyu, he doesn't need to communicate and can go in directly."
Fang Jian laughed, and then said to Laojun: "Laojun, please sit down for a moment, and we can discuss the matter when another Taoist friend comes."
Taishang Laojun looked at Fang Jian in surprise and said: "Who is this person? How can he let Emperor Hongqing wait here?"
Fang Jian smiled and said: "He is in the lower realm, unlike you, Laojun, who lives in Da Luo Tian, so he naturally comes slower."
"Let the old Taoist guess that he is not a Taoist friend from Buddhism, right?" Taishang Laojun asked.
Fang Jian looked at Lao Jun and said, "Buddha came from the east."
When Taishang Laojun heard this name, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he immediately said: "So, the matter to be discussed today is not a trivial matter, right?"
"It's not a small matter, it's a major matter related to the three realms." Fang Jian said.
Taishang Laojun nodded, and then said with a righteous expression: "Save the Three Realms? It is my duty to save the three realms!"
Fang Jian: "."
As he spoke, a ray of Buddha's light illuminated the heaven, and then the Buddha from the East, wearing cassocks, landed outside the Dongzhen Hall with the black boy with a look of astonishment.
Fang Jian immediately stepped forward to greet him. Donglai Buddha had no airs, with a Maitreya smile on his face, and walked into the Dongzhen Hall with his breasts exposed.
"The poor monk pays homage to Emperor Hongqing." Buddha from the East walked up to Fang Jian and bowed to Fang Jian.
Fang Jian bowed his head and returned the gift. At this time, Taishang Laojun also stood up and exchanged greetings with Donglai Buddha. Then Fang Jian ordered Hei Haier to hold a banquet in the 'Qingsheng Pavilion' and came with Taishang Laojun and Donglai Buddha. Qingsheng Pavilion.
In the Qingsheng Pavilion, the silk and bamboo are melodious, and the piano and sheng are played. Behind the curtains on both sides of the corridor, there are fairies playing fairy music.
Fang Jian, Taishang Laojun, and Donglai Buddha sat down. Fang Jian sat in the main seat, Taishang Laojun and Donglai Buddha sat in the side seats. These are the three most powerful and powerful people in the entire Three Realms. The first gathering of giants.
After everyone was seated, Fang Jian picked up the wine cup and said, "Old Lord, Buddha, please" amid the gentle and graceful music.
Taishang Laojun and Donglai Buddha also picked up the plain wine cups in front of them, shouted in return, and then the three of them drank it all in one gulp.
Putting down the wine cup, Fang Jian entered the topic: "Has the Buddha already known about the appearance of the evil god of chaos?"
The Buddha from the East nodded and said with a smile: "The poor monk already knows."
Fang Jian said: "The evil god of chaos is the most serious harm to the three worlds in the world. If it is allowed to develop rampantly, its harm to the three worlds of the world will be far greater than calamities. Today I invite Laojun and Buddha to come for a discussion, which is to discuss how to deal with the evil god of chaos. "
When the Buddha from the East heard this, he was the first to express his position: "The poor monks and Buddhists must obey the laws of heaven."
Taishang Laojun also said: "The Taoist sect and the heaven are integrated into one, and naturally the only thing to do is to obey the destiny."
Fang Jian nodded and said: "In that case, let me speak bluntly. The Evil God of Chaos appears in the three realms and gains power through sacrifices from living beings. Therefore, to deal with the Evil God of Chaos, you must cut down his altar and destroy his temple. Therefore, I want to Launch the plan of 'cutting down altars and destroying temples' within the Three Realms."
Hearing Fang Jian's words, Taishang Laojun and Donglai Buddha looked at each other, and then Donglai Buddha asked: "May I ask Emperor Hongqing, how to carry out the cutting down of altars and temples?"
Fang Jian said: "Tianting, Taoism, and Buddhism took the lead in setting a 'fixed number' for incense, that is, stipulating which gods among heaven, Taoism, and Buddhism can set up temples in the human world, and the audience can make incense. In addition to this 'fixed number' In addition, all temple sacrifices will be eliminated, leaving no one behind!"
Taishang Laojun asked: "This is a good idea, but what if we want to add a fixed number of incense in the future?"
Fang Jian said: "I, Taishang Laojun, you and Donglai Buddha will jointly review it. After passing the review, you can be given the 'three-day talisman' and add it to the additional 'incense number'. I wonder what Laojun and Buddha think?"
Taishang Laojun and Donglai Buddha looked at each other, then nodded together and said: "This is very fair."
Then the Buddha from the east came to Fang Jian and asked, "What is the tentative number of the incense?"
Fang Jian thought for a while and said: "Taking the emperors of Heaven as the number, plus Empress Nuwa, there are tentatively a total of thirty-two people."
Taishang Laojun and Donglai Buddha nodded. This means that the number of people who will receive incense in the world initially determined by Heavenly Court is thirty-two. This is the final number. Then Taishang Laojun asked again: "Who will accompany the sacrifice?" How to decide?"
The so-called accompanying worshipers means that the gods in human temples must have accompanying worshippers. For example, when Emperor Wenchang sits down, there must be two boys named "Heavenly Deaf and Earthly Dumb". For example, when Guanyin Bodhisattva sits down, there must be "Golden Boy and Jade Girl", etc. .
Fang Jian said: "You only need to decide on the god of the main sacrifice. The accompanying sacrifices are decided by the temple in the lower world. However, there must be a real deity under the god of the main sacrifice, and all the gods that accept sacrifices from living beings must be engraved on the main body. Give the 'three-day talisman', if there is no three-day talisman, it is an obscene sacrifice and can be destroyed on the spot."
"The three-day talisman I mentioned is the talisman with the true sign of the secret words given to me and you two." Fang Jian explained.
This is easy to understand. It means having a secret talisman containing the secrets of the three people's Taoism given by any one of Fang Jian, Taishang Laojun, and Donglai Buddha. For example, Fang Jian's is the Hongqing Xuan talisman, and it has There is a talisman with the title of "Tai Su Dao Zhen Zhong Tian Dou Shu Xuantian Puhua Emperor".
In this way, it can be ensured that in addition to the induction of all the statues by themselves, Fang Jian and the others can also monitor abnormalities at all times to avoid being occupied by evil gods.
Then Fang Jian said: "If Laojun and Buddha have no objections, please deliver the list of Taoist and Buddhist immortals who receive incense and fire in seven days. After the list is established, the heaven will start the plan to destroy the altar and destroy the temple."
When Taishang Laojun and the Buddha from the East heard this, they immediately bowed their heads and said: "The poor Taoist (poor monk) has received the decree of the Dharma."
Then Fang Jian, Taishang Laojun and Donglai Buddha discussed the affairs of the three realms while having a fast meal. An hour later, Laojun and Buddha stood up to say goodbye and each returned to the dojo to summon all the gods and immortals under their sect to discuss matters.
Just two hours after Taishang Laojun and Buddha left, Fang Jian received a letter from Nezha sent back to Heaven from the Great World of Youtian.
Fang Jian was immediately furious after reading the letter, "How dare you openly gather monsters to attack the heavenly soldiers' station and attack and kill the emperor of heaven! This is no longer a simple matter of resisting heaven, it must be a heavy blow!"
After saying that, Fang Jian immediately ordered Hei Hai'er to issue an edict: "Xuan Da Luotian Center's all serving righteous gods and gods come to Dongzhen Palace to see me! Immediately!"
Seeing Fang Jian's stern expression, Hei Hai'er immediately bowed and accepted the order: "Yes, sir!"
