Penglai Holy Land
Zizhi Cliff reveals the supreme scenery of the saint's residence in the morning light.
Strange flowers are fragrant, and Yao grass is auspicious.
The essence of Yuchen lingers in the auspicious light of the sun and moon and blooms.
Biyou Palace is surrounded by lush pines and cypresses on three sides. The green peaches and fragrant apricots in the palace all exude the fragrance of innate spiritual essence.
The Qibao Incense Cart landed from the sky on the huge white jade square in front of Biyou Palace.
Taoist Duobao, Our Lady of Jinling and Zhao Gongming walked out of the Qibao Incense Carriage one after another, preparing to go to Biyou Palace to pay their respects to the leader and saint, and to report on their journey.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The long bell rang from the Biyou Palace.
Spreading in all directions.
"Um?"
Duobao and others looked suspicious.
The bell rang three times, which was the signal to summon all the elite disciples to Biyou Palace.
Is it because of the blood sea incident, or is something else happening?
"Boom——"
The gate of Biyou Palace opened, and a boy of about ten years old, carved with pink and jade, came out, bowed to the three of them and saluted: "Greetings, senior brother and senior sister."
Taoist Duobao nodded slightly in return.
He looked at Shuihuo Boy and said, "Do you know why this Shangqing Bell is ringing?"
The boy of water and fire shook his head and whispered: "The master just came back from Zixiao Palace and asked me to open the door to welcome you senior brothers and sisters. I don't know anything else."
"Zixiao Palace?"
The expressions of Duobao and the other three people changed slightly.
"Master, when did he go to Zixiao Palace?"
"I must have been there for six or seven days... I don't know the details."
The boy of water and fire said with some amusement: "I have slept a lot these past few days since the master was not at home, but I forgot to write down the time. Please don't blame me, senior brother."
Seeing that he didn't know what was going on, Taoist Duobao didn't ask any more questions and walked into Biyou Palace first.
Our Lady of Jinling and Zhao Gongming also followed closely behind.
Not long after, the three of them arrived in the broad and bright main hall.
Above, the leader of the Tongtian cult, wearing a Bagua robe and a hibiscus crown, is sitting high on the cloud bed.
"Disciple pays homage to Master."
Taoist Duobao, Our Lady of Jinling and Zhao Gongming bowed respectfully.
"No need to be polite."
Leader Tongtian nodded slightly and motioned for the three of them to sit down, "Tell me, how do you feel about this trip to the sea of blood?"
There are more than a hundred futons arranged neatly in the hall.
The futons of Duobao and others are naturally located closest to the cloud bed.
After the three of them sat down, Taoist Duobao briefly narrated the journey to the sea of blood, and then revealed Yu Yuan's guesses about the murderer behind the scenes.
During the whole process, Master Tongtian listened quietly with a gentle expression. It was not until he heard that the murderer behind the plan to ambush Yu Yuan along the way might be a disciple of the Jie Cult that he raised his eyebrows slightly.
But that's all.
He did not feel surprised, angry, curious, or any other emotions.
As if this matter is not worth mentioning at all.
Or maybe he already knows everything!
Although the young and handsome leader of the sage mentioned in front of his disciples more than once that "the great catastrophe is approaching and chaos is coming", the sage's power is beyond the reach of ordinary gods and gods, and it is difficult to understand...
Who is sure that they have no other way of seeing the truth?
Therefore, Taoist Duobao also somewhat wanted to ask for help.
I want to use the methods of the leader and saint to find out who the real culprit is behind the scenes.
Unfortunately, after Taoist Duobao finished speaking, Master Tongtian just said lightly, "Then go check it out."
Then there is no more.
Master, he is still as unconcerned as ever!
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit sighed in her heart and began to understand her disciple's words.
When the leader of Tongtian Cult founded Jie Sect, he recruited many disciples on Jin'ao Island, regardless of their origins. As long as they wholeheartedly seek the Tao, they can come and listen to the Great Way of the Saint.
This has also resulted in the current situation where there are so many disciples of the Jie Sect and there is a mixed situation.
Afterwards, the leader saint, after preaching the Great Way of Sainthood, moved to Penglai Island to enjoy peace and quiet.
Except for some elite disciples in the sect who could go to Penglai to attend lectures, the remaining disciples were all left alone.
Taoist Duobao, the first disciple of the Jiejiao sect, also unswervingly followed suit and plunged into Penglai seclusion for purification.
Neither the leader nor the first disciple cares about anything, and the direct disciples such as the Holy Mother of Jinling do not want to delay their own practice.
As a result, the group of outer sect disciples who were being left alone became more and more unruly.
They occupied the East China Sea and acted recklessly.
If it weren't for the rule that "same disciples are not allowed to fight each other," I'm afraid the Jiejiao would have become a piece of sand because of killing each other.
Even so, there are now undercurrents surging within Jiejiao.
On the surface they look peaceful and peaceful, but on the inside they are cliquey and cliquey.
Regarding this situation, the leader of Tongtian who sits on the cloud bed is naturally aware of this situation.
But he didn't want to care.
Intercept a glimmer of life for all sentient beings!
This is the philosophy of Jiejiao.
The leader of Tongtian Cult preached the Great Way of Shangqing without looking at its origins.
It gives many living beings who were not qualified to listen to the Dao the opportunity to step into the Immortal Dao and change their destiny.
This is the glimmer of life he intercepts for all sentient beings.
As for what sentient beings do when they have the opportunity to change their destiny, that is their own business.
Leader Tongtian has a free and uninhibited temperament, and he does not want to set too many rules.
When a thousand flowers bloom, there will be a thousand completely different styles.
If all flowers were born under the constraints of rules, they would be equally beautiful and delicate.
That's boring.
Therefore, if it is not necessary, Master Tongtian does not want to interfere with the affairs of the religion at all.
As long as Jiejiao still exists, it can continue to teach the Great Pure Path to all living beings in the world, giving all living beings the opportunity to change their own destiny...
that's enough!
As his direct disciples, Duobao, Jin Ling and others can naturally understand their master's philosophy.
But now it’s different!
This matter is related to the life and safety of her eldest disciple, and the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit can't wait to immediately find out the real culprit behind everything.
So when she saw her master still showing that "not caring" attitude, she couldn't help but recall her apprentice's words.
This lousy coward is really...
Ahem!
Don't let your imagination run wild!
At this time, several figures came together.
There is the Wuyun Immortal who wears a black robe and has a simple and honest face; there is the elegant and handsome Pilu Immortal who wears a five-leaf crown; there is the Qiu Shou Immortal who has a green face and a red beard and is tall and mighty...
Except for the long-eared Dingguang Immortal who was punished not to enter Penglai, the other "seven attendant immortals" were all present.
After they bowed and took their seats, Our Lady of Wudang and Our Lady of Guiling also arrived.
Soon after, Empress Sanxiao who was practicing in Jieshi Mountain, Shitianjun, Hanzhixian, Caiyunxian and others on Jinao Island, as well as Luo Xuan and Liu Huan, the Flame Immortals of Fire Dragon Island, and the Four Saints of Kowloon Island. Wang Mo, Yang Sen and others arrived one after another.
These are only the immortals who are closer to Penglai, but there are some who are further away such as Shiji, Qiu Yin, Hong Jin, Chong Yingbiao, etc. but they cannot catch up.
However, Master Tongtian obviously did not intend to wait for everyone to arrive.
When he saw that the people had almost arrived, he looked around at the crowd and said, "The reason why I have called you here is because Zixiao Palace has issued a decree, ordering the three sects of the Interpretation and Interpretation to intercept their disciples and bring them to heaven to become gods... You, etc. Is there anyone who wants to go to heaven voluntarily?"
Hearing this, all the Jie Jiao disciples looked at each other with surprise on their faces.
"Dare to ask Master."
Taoist Duobao frowned and stood up first to ask the questions in the minds of all Jiejiao disciples.
"Why did Zixiao Palace suddenly issue a decree?"
Leader Tongtian looked around the disciples in the hall, and finally landed on Zhao Gongming, and said calmly: "This matter is also related to your attendance at the peach event."
After saying that, he told all his disciples about the fact that God Haotian went to Zixiao Palace to cry out after the peach festival.
After hearing the cause of the incident, Zhao Gongming and other Jiejiao disciples were dumbfounded and couldn't help but start shouting.
"I didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven would be so willing to show off his face!"
"Isn't that right? The majestic Supreme Being of the Three Realms actually went to Zixiao Palace to cry!"
"He went to cry, but he was going to hurt us!"
"Don't he know that this move will offend us and other disciples of the three religions? Even if we are forced to go to heaven to become gods under the decree of Zixiao Palace, how can we sincerely do things for him?"
"Once you enter the divine position, it's not up to you! The numerous laws and regulations will ensure that you obey orders obediently!"
"It's really abominable. We never provoked him, so why did he trap us like this!"
"The throne of heaven has been vacant for a long time. His Majesty the Emperor may have made this decision out of desperation."
"Even so, what does it have to do with me?"
"We have been gifted by the leader to cultivate the immortal golden immortal Taoist fruit. What we want is to live with the sun and the moon, and live with the heaven and the earth. We are not just going to the heaven to serve as servants and obey orders!
If you want to go to heaven, just go, I won’t go anyway! "
"Look at what you are saying, who would leave Free Immortal alone and go to heaven to be the God of Incense and Fire who is bound by laws and regulations?!"
"Now the Purple Sky Palace has issued a decree, instructing us to go to heaven to serve as gods. If you are not willing to go, wouldn't you be making things difficult for the leader?"
“Senior Brother’s words make sense, then please invite Senior Brother!”
"I...I won't go either!"
…
The words from the disciples of Jie Sect made the originally quiet hall as lively as a vegetable market.
How decent are these guys?
What do you think the main hall of Biyou Palace is?
Taoist Duobao frowned and raised his head to look at the leader of Tongtian who was sitting on the cloud bed, but saw that he was not annoyed at all, and his face still had that gentle look.
Seeing this, Taoist Duobao simply ignored it and allowed the junior brothers and sisters to argue endlessly.
It was not until a long time later that all the Jie Cult disciples calmed down a little, and then they realized that what they and others had just done was extremely inappropriate, and they immediately bowed and apologized to the leader of Tongtian Cult, asking for forgiveness. m.
"It doesn't matter."
The leader of Tongtian Cult said with a pleasant expression: "You have been practicing so much that you don't want to go to heaven to become a god. It is understandable."
After a pause, he looked at the people in the hall and said: "But now that the vacancy of the divine throne in the heaven has become a stubborn disease that affects the movement of heaven and earth, we saints cannot sit idly by and ignore it...
A hundred days later, disciples of the Chan and Ren sects will come to Biyou Palace. At that time, the three sects will gather together to discuss the matter of canonizing gods.
Let's all go back to the dojo first and think about it carefully. "
All the disciples looked at each other.
Even if they don't want to, they can only bow to their luggage respectfully.
"Please obey the Holy Order of the Master!"
Some people died, but not completely...
