The righteous god does not possess the body, and the possessed person is not the righteous god.
In today's world of spiritual practice, anyone who claims that he can easily ask gods to come down to earth to possess him, or to ask gods to catch demons and subjugate them, is all hereditary and unorthodox Taoism.
In fact, it is not an easy task to invite the immortals from the upper world to come down to earth. It cannot be done with an ordinary talisman or a divine spell.
This time, we can invite the Fire Rhinoceros Zhu Tianjun of Lei Mansion to come down to earth. It is because the Tianjun senses that he has done a good job in teaching in the wilderness and takes the initiative to show his holiness. The Immortal Court also takes advantage of this opportunity to fast and worship the heaven and the earth, fly the seal to pay homage, and perform a memorial to the heaven. Only then did they invite a Tianjun. Incarnation.
The process was quite complicated, and the Zhai Jiao ceremony took half a month.
"Let us pay our respects to the Lord of Heaven!"
Qingzhu layman, Chonglou Taoist and other state Taoist priests led Chu Chen and others to worship.
At the scene, only Mr. Ming Jing, Master Yulou, and Yu Xuzi did not bow, but held their fists and bowed to show courtesy.
Zhu Tianjun nodded slightly to the people who were worshiping in the hall, and his disheveled black face, which made countless demons and monsters fearful, did not look sinister at all. With a kind smile in his majesty, he lifted everyone up in the air, so that they did not need to be polite.
Immediately, Zhu Tianjun turned around and his eyes fell on Mr. Mingjing, Yu Xuzi, and Master Yulou.
"I have met the Crown Prince and my two Taoist friends. I am very polite."
"I've met Tianjun!"
Mr. Mingjing, Yu Xuzi, and Master Yulou bowed with their hands, as if they were peers.
Chu Chen was slightly surprised when he saw this scene.
Yuxunzi and Yulouzhenren are so famous that they are called "fellow Taoists" when they descend to earth in the form of gods.
Mr. Ming Jing is even more remarkable. When the heavenly king appears as a saint and comes down to earth, he is very respectful, and his status is slightly higher than that of the gods.
However, when Chu Chen thought about it carefully, he felt relieved.
Having achieved the golden elixir path through the Eight Sutras, even in the heavenly realm, his status is extraordinary. He is a big boss, and his status is much higher than that of ordinary generals.
Yuxuzi and Yulouzhenren are the third-level masters with great supernatural powers. They have stepped into the wonderful door to become immortals. Not to mention the unreachable path of enlightenment and becoming immortals. After death, whether they ascend to heaven or enter the netherworld, they can receive imperial orders based on their merits and deeds, and they can also live in heaven or in heaven. There is a god general in the netherworld.
As for Mr. Ming Jing, he is the crown prince of the Celestial Dynasty and the candidate for the Human Emperor. He is blessed with a lot of human luck and his status is not low in the heaven. It is not surprising that Zhu Tianjun is polite and courteous in his incarnation.
Mr. Ming Jing smiled and said:
"Tianjun, are you here in the lower realm to preach and promote the Dharma in the local area?"
"Yes, this place is widely used for education and Taoism. It is inspired by the Supreme Being and specially ordered to be commended by the commander-in-chief in the lower world."
As he spoke, Zhu Tianjun's two magic weapons, the iron rod and the iron rope, disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by a golden decree:
"Crown Prince, this is the purpose of His Majesty's law."
Mr. Ming Jing was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and said in salute: "Please, Lord Heaven!"
Zhu Tianjun is in charge of the people in the world who do not believe in Taoism. He usually beats demons and witches if they refuse to accept them. The sticks and ropes are used in turn, which has developed his resolute and resolute character. After asking the prince of this world for instructions, he did not hesitate. He made a hand and chanted a mantra. The golden decree flew out with a "whoosh" sound.
When everyone saw this, they all looked over, and everyone was quite excited.
The decree was lofted in the sky, slowly spread out, and the mysterious cloud seal and jade characters appeared on the paper.
The decree is an edict from the Supreme Being, transformed into the rules of the Great Dao. Although it is a commendation decree, it is silent, just like the movement of the Great Dao, undetectable and everywhere.
"Boom!"
A sound of thunder and drum came from outside the sky, and the whole hall trembled.
The next moment, a ray of golden light flew out from the Supreme Edict, wisps of strands, changing constantly, as if it was about to disappear at any time, but it was condensed together by the great supernatural power, which was mysterious and unpredictable.
The golden light of merit!
The knowledgeable people in the palace recognized the origin of this golden light at a glance.
Except for people like Han Chen who were watching the ceremony, everyone else had the opportunity to receive the golden light of merit, and they were both excited and looking forward to it.
However, the first golden light did not fly towards Chu Chen and other mountain leaders at the steps of the main hall. Instead, it flew straight towards the prince, Mr. Mingjing, and sank into his body.
The first golden light of merit fell, followed by the second, and the third followed.
"咻咻咻~"
Inside the palace, there was a brilliant golden light.
In just a short moment, twenty-eight rays of golden light of merit flew out from the decree and disappeared into Mr. Ming Jing's body.
For a moment, Mr. Ming Jing's whole body was filled with bright golden light, like a god or a saint.
Everyone in the palace was filled with envy when they saw this scene.
However, they were just envious and had no other ideas.
Mr. Mingjing, as the human crown prince, is the governor of all affairs of the eight southwest states. This promotion of Taoism and the promotion of Orthodoxy is exactly the work of Mr. Mingjing. There is no doubt that his contribution to education is the greatest.
"Disciple thanks the Supreme Patriarch for the reward!"
Mr. Ming Jing bowed three times to the decree in the palace and thanked the Supreme Patriarch.
The decree rang out, and bright golden light bloomed again.
This time, the golden light flew towards Master Yulou.
Master Yulou is the deputy mountain chief of the Imperial Capital Taoist Academy and a great master in his field. More than half of the mountain chiefs of the Taoist temples in the eight southwest states have received his guidance and taught Taoism. This time, he is also in charge of the mission of teaching Taoism and education in the Southwest Taoist Temple, and his achievements are not small.
"Disciple thanks the Supreme Patriarch for his kindness!"
In the blink of an eye, ten rays of golden light of merit flew into the body of Master Yulou. This time, Senior Yulou, who was already an immortal, became more and more like a "real person".
Seeing this scene, Yu Xuzi was envious and a little jealous.
There is no other reason for this. He was born into a military strategist and participated in all military affairs in the southwest. He had no educational achievements and no share in the merits and honors. This time he was purely accompanying the crown prince to the ceremony.
The golden light on the Supreme Lord's decree was still bright, and strands of golden light flew towards Taoist Chonglou, layman Qingzhu and other state Taoist priests.
In these days, the mountain chiefs of Taoist temples in all the eight states also held lectures and Dharma meetings. The scene was larger than that of the Taoist temples in the counties, and most of the people attending the meeting were those with strong Taoist practices of the fifth and sixth grades.
In addition, the state Taoist mountain chiefs are in charge of the education of a state, and their contribution to education is not small. The eight state Taoist mountain chiefs have at least received the golden light of six paths of merit.
Among them, Master Qingzhu of the Yunzhou Taoist Academy received the most golden merits, eight in total, causing all the state chiefs around him to look sideways and congratulate him.
The mountain chiefs of various prefectures, counties and Taoist monasteries in the hall also looked at layman Qingzhu and praised him privately.
"Qingzhu, you are good at studying Taoism and Dharma scriptures, not bad!"
Mr. Mingjing and Master Yulou nodded slightly at layman Qingzhu, and received continuous praises from their spiritual consciousness.
Layman Qingzhu's face was full of joy. His study of Taoism and Confucianism had indeed improved a lot during this period.
However, he did not expect that so many people would be enlightened by this sermon in Yunzhou.
Even though he was good at cultivating his qi, he was not surprised by favors or disgrace, so when faced with unexpected surprises, he couldn't help but be in a good mood.
After the eight state Taoist mountain chiefs received the golden light of merit from Taishang Taozu, it was the turn of the county Taoist mountain chiefs next.
"咻咻~"
Two rays of golden light flew out from the Supreme Edict, and in the blink of an eye they flew into the body of a county and Taoist mountain chief in the front row of the palace.
Since he was the first county chief to receive an award and it concerned himself, all the chiefs in the palace were even more interested and full of conversation.
"This fellow Taoist is the mountain chief of Guqin County in Cangzhou. He is really powerful. He actually has two golden lights of merit."
"Oh, I am ignorant, I wonder what the significance of this is? For us, two golden rays of merit are too much?"
"Yes, according to what has been recorded in the past, the two golden lights of merit are not bad. The chief of Guqin County Shanchang has good attainments in classics and is quite good at preaching and preaching."
"It's serious."
The chief of Guqin County bowed to thank the Supreme Taoist Patriarch. His face was full of spring breeze, overjoyed and quite satisfied. He bowed repeatedly to the congratulatory Taoist friends.
It was too late, but soon enough, a golden light flew out from the Supreme Edict and fell on the comrade next to the mountain chief of Guqin County.
Well, this time there is only a golden light of merit.
After receiving a golden light of merit, Chief Koriyama bowed to the Supreme Being as usual, and then bowed his hands to his colleagues.
To be able to obtain the golden light of merit is to have enlightenment in any case. To be recognized by the Supreme Patriarch is not embarrassing or a joke, but regret in the heart is unavoidable.
Opportunities like this don't happen often.
Many people only encounter it once in their lifetime.
Gaining a few more golden rays of merit will be of great benefit to future breakthroughs in spiritual practice, canonization of gods, and other aspects.
However, it is a pity that the golden light of merit is not easy to obtain.
There are not just one or two people who receive a golden light of merit, but many of them.
As everyone has discussed before, getting two golden rays of merit is quite good. It belongs to the middle and upper class, which is gratifying.
Several people also received three golden rays of merit, which attracted everyone's admiration and congratulations.
However, the three golden lights of merit are not the ones with the most. The one who received the most reward was the mountain chief of Qingyan County in Yunzhou. The Supreme Lord's decree sent down four golden lights of merit.
For a time, there were intense discussions in the hall, and countless people looked sideways. In addition to envy, they all cast respectful glances.
No matter where you are, a person who has great attainments in a certain area can attract people's heartfelt respect.
Everyone present has a good moral character. As long as he is truly talented and learned, everyone will be convinced and praise him again and again.
Even Mr. Ming Jing and Zhu Tianjun wanted to cast approving glances at the Chief of Qingyan County.
Chu Chen was quite envious when he saw it, but he was more excited and worried.
There is no other reason. Enshang came one after another according to the decree of the Supreme Lord. Now that he has arrived at Yunzhou, it will be his turn soon.
"Ling Xiao, it's your turn soon. Many people are paying close attention to you."
Han Chen sent a message from his spiritual consciousness to Chu Chen, looking like he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Chu Chen smiled and understood the meaning.
Thanks to the magical power of [Heart-Complaining Divine Transmission] from the enlightenment Xiaguang, his lectures and preaching greatly benefited most of the low-level monks and monsters who attended the meeting. After becoming famous, his reputation far surpassed that of his fellow mountain chiefs.
Burdened by his false reputation, people have different demands on him.
If other people get a golden light of merit, no one will say anything. But if he only gets a golden light of merit, it is unworthy of the name and is suspected of being flattered.
Two golden rays of merit can only be considered so-so. Although he is still not worthy of such a great reputation, his attainments in classics are true knowledge and cannot be criticized by others.
If one could obtain the golden light of three or four virtues, then the previous doubts in the cultivation world would probably disappear overnight.
There is no real conflict between him and his colleagues, Koriyama Chief. He is young and suddenly famous. It is normal for him to be questioned. It is a problem if he is not questioned.
This is the drawback of being famous, as the requirements are different from ordinary people.
While the two were discussing, the first few people received either one or two golden lights of merit, and then it was Chu Chen's turn soon after.
As Han Chen said, Chu Chen has attracted the attention of many people.
Everyone craned their necks to look around in anticipation, wanting to see how much of the famous Koriyama Chief's true abilities, how many people he preached and taught, and how much credit he had.
Chu Chen himself was not excited, but others were much more excited than him, and even shouted out through his spiritual consciousness.
"Here it comes!~"
As this person shouted, the Supreme Edict burst out with bright golden light.
"call out"
A golden light burst out.
As the golden light of merit entered his body, Chu Chen felt warm all over his body and felt indescribably comfortable. He felt extremely comfortable.
Everyone didn't pay attention and continued to stare eagerly. When they saw the second golden light of merit flying out immediately after, the discussion in the hall suddenly became quiet.
The low level of discussion means that everyone basically recognizes Chu Chen. Whether he is famous or not, his attainments in Confucian classics and his level of preaching and preaching are not bad.
Another golden light flew out and disappeared into Chu Chen's body.
When the third golden light of merit flew out, everyone's discussion basically disappeared, and everyone lost their voice.
Immediately afterwards, another golden light flew in.
Seeing the fourth golden light of merit, the eyes of everyone in the hall changed. The strange and questioning expressions disappeared without a trace, replaced by exclamations.
"Good guy! Rumors from the outside world have killed people!"
A mountain chief from a remote state sighed with emotion, which immediately aroused the echo of others. Seeing the four golden lights of merit, no one could say that it was not worthy of the name.
However, things are not over yet.
The Supreme Edict still erupted with bright golden light.
After the four golden lights flashed, the fifth, sixth and eighth golden lights flew out immediately afterwards and disappeared into Chu Chen's body.
Since the fourth golden light of merit fell, another golden light flew out, and there was no discussion in the hall.
"Thousands of horses are silent", you can hear the drop of a needle.
It wasn't until the eighth golden light of merit fell and finally flew away that there was another heated discussion in the hall.
Taishang's decrees are the result of Taoist rules. In other words, with the Supreme Patriarch's certification, reputation can be hyped and people can be hired to brag. However, Taishang Taozu's decrees are absolute authority and cannot be faked.
While everyone was talking, the Supreme Being's decree was still bestowing golden light of merit.
Among those who came later, there were many commanders and chiefs who had profound knowledge of Taoism, Dharma, and Classics, and were highly recognized by the Supreme Patriarch, who bestowed upon them three golden rays of merit, and even four golden rays of merit.
However, with the golden light of Chu Chen's eight merits in front of him, the three or four golden lights behind him suddenly became eclipsed and were not as eye-catching as before.
Until the Supreme Lord's decree and reward were over, everyone's focus was on the Eight Paths of Merit Golden Light and Chu Chen.
"This rumor is actually true, and the praises in the public are not unfounded."
"Gossips can kill people, Taoist friend Chu. I am a poor Taoist with a straightforward temper. I have offended you a lot. Please forgive me."
"Fellow Daoist Chu is indeed a genius of the Middle-earth Immortal. Not only is he so accomplished in Taoism at such a young age, but he is also so good in Taoism, scriptures, and teachings. It really makes me ashamed."
Almost instantly, Chu Chen's reputation among his fellow officers and commanders changed dramatically. The doubts disappeared, leaving only admiration and praise.
Han Chen and Chonglou Taoist brothers looked at each other in confusion. Chu Chen walked closer to them and saw Chu Chen showing off. Apart from being surprised, the two brothers were quite happy.
layman Qingzhu was also quite surprised and pleased, but his face was more of an embarrassment.
He had just received the Golden Light of Eight Paths of Merit, and thought that his knowledge of Taoism, Dharma, and Classics had greatly improved. This enlightenment had enlightened many people. However, when he saw that there was a county in Yunzhou that had four Golden Paths, Chu Chen suddenly obtained the extremely rare Eight Paths. Golden light.
Master Qingzhu suddenly realized that at least one of his eight golden rays of merit was contaminated by the light of his subordinates, which made his face feel slightly hot.
Just now, I boasted a little about myself in front of my colleagues in private, and now I feel embarrassed.
Mr. Ming Jing, Zhu Tianjun, Master Yulou, Yu Xuzi, who were sitting high in the hall, all looked at Chu Chen like everyone else in the hall.
Even Zhu Tianjun, who had never said anything in the sage world, had a look of surprise on his face at this moment.
He had never read the Supreme Emperor's decree beforehand and had no idea about it. Seeing the sudden appearance of the Commander-in-Chief who had received the golden light of eight merits, even the well-informed Zhu Tianjun was a little surprised. He looked at Chu Chen frequently, as if he was sizing up something.
Chu Chen felt Zhu Tianjun's gaze. Although it was not an aggressive peek or a sense of oppression, he was slightly nervous. He was afraid that his greatest reliance, the Heart Temple, would be exposed. He immediately cleared his mind and cleared his mind to prevent the gods from prying at him.
Perhaps sensing Chu Chen's resistance, Zhu Tianjun smiled and spoke with his spiritual consciousness:
"Little friend, don't be nervous. I have no intention of spying on your luck and destiny. The top teaching methods all come from the disciples of saints. No one dares to pry. Even if others get it, they won't be able to learn it or covet it if they don't have enough understanding and opportunity. Haha, little friend. Chance brings us!”
"The junior students are so frightened that Tianjun is laughing at them."
When Chu Chen heard Zhu Tianjun speak, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly respectfully reported back to Tianjun.
Of course, he felt more joy in his heart.
In the world of spiritual practice, there are people with great supernatural powers and high skills who can also teach teaching methods, whether it is the array of heavenly sounds and Sanskrit sounds, or the yellow bells and big lu, or the flowers falling from the sky, or the heart-telling divine teachings, all kinds of teaching methods can make the listeners immersed in the teachings. Among the Taoism.
Obviously, Cong Chu Chen's [Education Xiaguang] magical power belongs to the top teaching method.
Zhu Tianjun's spiritual sound transmission did not avoid Mr. Mingjing, Master Yulou, and Yuxuzi, and they could hear it clearly.
The three of them were not surprised when Tianjun revealed that Chu Chen had the teaching method. They had already made some guesses, but they didn't take the liberty to ask.
"That's right, Ling Xiao, Taoist Fellow Yulou really made it right. You have really learned a top-notch teaching method. You really have a profound connection with the immortals!"
Mr. Ming Jing was very pleased. When he originally transferred Chu Chen to serve as the head of Wanquan Mountain, many senior officials from the Immortal Court raised objections to the transfer in person when the decree was drafted. It was he who overcame all opinions and selected the candidate.
The top teaching method is extremely difficult to learn. As Zhu Tianjun said, ordinary people cannot learn it even if they have the opportunity.
Now that he saw Chu Chen preaching and preaching, and astonishing everyone with his teachings, he felt quite happy and had a great sense of accomplishment, and was delighted by his vicious eyes.
Master Yulou and Yu Xuzi did not speak, but the expressions on their faces were quite wonderful.
The former had a faint smile on his face, while the latter had a complicated expression.
Of course.
If there was anyone in the palace who was the most excited and jumped up with excitement, it was the little kid.
It clearly saw that his senior brother's meritorious deeds were much more golden than those of others, almost the same as senior layman Qingzhu.
Even if it can't count, it will understand that its senior brother has hit a great opportunity this time.
If it were normal, it would have fallen to the ground and "dong dong dong" a hundred and eighty times.
However, the scene was too formal at the moment, and it was afraid of embarrassing its senior brother, so it held back.
However, this made it anxious.
"Senior brother, when will this fasting ceremony end? Why hasn't Heavenly Lord left yet? Is he still living in this world? When will we go back? I'm almost dying of anxiety."
