Mr. Ming Jing's enthronement ceremony was not held in the imperial capital, but in Tai'an County.
Emperor Lingwei wanted to go to Mount Tai to pray for Zen and report his achievements to heaven, so that he could ascend to the earth and transcend the world.
This area of heaven and earth is also divided into five mountains, and the five innate gods are ordered to be the Lords of the Five Mountains. They can reach the sky and the earth, protect the country and the people, and rule over the city gods, land, mountain gods, and all kinds of ghosts and gods. They control the underworld and have power over life, death, and longevity. They have great authority.
The east is the place where all things change and the first spring occurs. It is the source of life and the source of the gestation of all things. It is known as the house of gods. Therefore, Dongyue Mount Tai is the leader of the five mountains. The five mountains dominate the world, overwhelming the Dragon King of the Four Seas. The highest status among the innate gods.
Emperor Lingwei and Mr. Mingjing led hundreds of civil and military officials of the imperial court, high-achieving nobles of the Immortal Court, and great gods from all walks of life. They set out from the imperial capital, covered the sky in flying boats, and went straight to Mount Tai in Dongyue.
Upon arrival, King Tianqi of Tai'an and Lord Dongyue Mansion, the god of Mount Tai, led Dongyue Mansion to greet him from a distance and respectfully invited Emperor Lingwei to enter Dongyue Mansion.
Chu Chen ranks among the great supernatural powers. If you put him in the local world, he would be a big shot who could shake a state or three places with a stomp of his feet. However, among the ranks of those who were granted the title of Zen and ascended the throne, he seemed very inconspicuous. He was completely The word "watching the ceremony" means joining in the fun.
However, fortunately, Chu Chen met an old acquaintance at the Dongyue Mansion Banquet Hall, so he was no longer alone.
The acquaintance was none other than Ao Dong, the Thirteenth Prince of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea who came with the Dragon King of the East China Sea to watch the enthronement ceremony.
"Thirteenth Prince, long time no see. When you broke through to become a monk with great supernatural powers, I was traveling around the world and couldn't come to congratulate you. Please forgive me!"
"Brother Chu, you're welcome. I didn't hold a great supernatural power banquet, so of course you don't know.
The thirteenth prince Ao Dong saw Chu Chen and forced a smile on his face.
At the beginning, after he broke through the realm of great supernatural powers, he also planned to hold a great supernatural power banquet to entertain all around and have a glorious time. However, because of the marriage proposal, he never expected that Qingying would come to his door.
Not only did Qingying tell him bluntly that she had a crush on someone, she also sparred with him and beat him up.
He didn't give up from the beginning to the end, and he was convinced of the defeat.
This experience gave him a huge physical and mental blow, and it took him more than half a year to recover.
Although Princess Ying did not clearly say who her crush was, the Thirteenth Prince knew very well that his crush was not Chu Chen.
The Thirteenth Prince's thoughts were extremely complex.
When he first met Chu Chen, Chu Chen was just a sixth-grade monk. He was a perfect fifth-grade monk. A few years later, he broke through to the realm of great supernatural powers, and Chu Chen also broke through not long after.
The moment he heard the news, the Thirteenth Prince was shocked and couldn't help feeling frustrated.
However, the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong seemed very peaceful on the surface and said:
"As expected, Princess Ying did not come to the ceremony with you."
"Heavenly Court invited me, but neither Long Jun nor Ying'er came."
Chu Chen shook his head, quite helpless.
The relationship between Diyuan Dragon Palace and Dongyue Taishan Mansion is extremely bad, and water and fire are incompatible. It is said that it is related to the competition for Dongyue Taishan God.
At that time, the empress of Longling had not yet been punished by heaven, and Lord Long was not so enthusiastic about becoming an immortal. Seeing that the Dachang Dynasty was on the rise, Lord Long once intended to compete for the position of "Lord of Dongyue Mansion".
However, the Dragon Lord was formed by the earth's veins and was conceived by the Great Dao. It was not in the shape of a mountain. So the Dragon Lord deliberately used his great supernatural powers. The Earth Dragon turned over and broke through the ground to form a mountain near Longling Mountain. He competed with Dongyue Mansion Lord for Mount Tai. God's position.
According to Qingying, Lord Dongyue Mansion took advantage of the Longling Mountain God's retreat to plot secretly, causing Lord Long to fall short of his achievements and ultimately miss the position of "Lord of Dongyue Mansion". Because of this, Lord Long and Dongyue Mansion were at odds with each other. Old age and death do not communicate with each other.
According to legend, Dongyue Mansion Lord was only in the upper middle class among the innate gods. He was not the strongest. He was just of a good background and was born in the east. He defeated the competitor of Diyuan Long Lord and was awarded the title of "Tian'an Tianqi King". , in one fell swoop, he took over the power of "Dongyue Underworld", received incense from all the people, and his strength increased greatly, becoming one of the strongest innate gods in one fell swoop.
"It's a pity. If Lord Long becomes the King of Tianqi in Tai'an and takes charge of the power of Dongyue's underworld, then
That's awesome.
Chu Chen's pair of [Taishan Divine Legs] vaguely resonated with this land, and he felt quite emotional.
"indeed."
The Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong also lamented about the past, but on the territory of Dongyue Taishan Mansion, the two did not chat much.
Not long after, the thirteenth prince Ao Dong left with an excuse.
"Senior brother, this Thirteenth Prince doesn't seem to like you very much, and we didn't offend him. We saved him last time, which is really ungrateful.
The little kid pouted and muttered softly.
"Hahaha~ Little devil, you don't understand. The Thirteenth Prince is quite aboveboard in his work."
Chu Chen understood the Thirteenth Prince's thoughts, fully understood his "not wanting to see him", and quite recognized Ao Dong's character.
With the power of the East China Sea Dragon Palace Crown Prince, there are plenty of opportunities to take action against his "love rival".
However, the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong never took action, and was quite disciplined from beginning to end. He was immersed in practice. He only wanted to improve his Taoist practice and gain the recognition of Di Yuan Longjun, and then propose marriage to Di Yuan Long Palace to marry Ying Er. .
Ao Dong's approach is normal thinking in this world. After all, it is the orders of his parents and the words of the matchmaker.
As everyone knows, Long Jun is a daughter slave, and he is completely obedient to Qingying. If Qingying doesn't like her, it will be useless for Long Jun to like her. He is unwilling to force his daughter, and there is no need to use his daughter for marriage.
Chu Chen can be regarded as a "stealer". When he comes to the water, he gets the moon first.
There is no grand love story between him and Qingying. The good relationship between them comes from the accumulation of daily exchanges. The two of them get along naturally and comfortably, unrestrained and ordinary, but they also see true love and fall in love with each other.
There is a saying that goes well, the longest confession of love is companionship. It is very suitable to put it on Chu Chen and Qingying.
The Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong was unwilling to talk to Chu Chen, but Chu Chen was not alone next. A maid from the Dongyue Mansion invited him to a side hall.
He saw an old acquaintance again.
When he saw the visitor, Chu Chen was slightly startled, but he soon felt relieved.
The person who invited him to the side hall was none other than the daughter of Lord Dongyue Mansion, the Goddess of Yuxia Mountain.
At that time, the younger brother Pengju was attending the Qiu Wei Festival. He met Susu, the personal maid of the Yuxia Empress, and asked for a seal. He missed the opportunity of the "Spiritual Snake Presenting Good Luck", and then Susu failed to transform. The Yuxia Empress was furious and had the younger brother Pengju arrested. When they passed by, there was a commotion.
"It turns out it's Empress Yuxia, she's so polite." Chu Chen bowed and cupped his hands, quite calmly.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, I haven't seen you for a few years. I didn't expect you to break through and become a monk with great supernatural powers. Congratulations!"
Empress Yuxia came out with a smile on her face. She was not as majestic and domineering as before. She seemed to be friends with Chu Chen whom she had not seen for many years. She was very cordial.
It is said that the present is not what it used to be, but that's all.
At the beginning, Chu Chen was just a little cultivator of lower than fifth rank. He was insignificant compared to the fourth rank great goddess Yuxia, who had a profound background. Thanks to the peace talks made by the governor of the state, he was barely qualified to talk to her.
But now, the two of them are on equal footing and call each other Taoist friends.
Empress Yuxia was the most emotional. In just a few years, she had risen from a fifth- and sixth-grade monk to a great supernatural power. Her talent was so high that even a well-informed woman was shocked.
When Chu Chen saw the change in Empress Yuxia's attitude, he felt quite emotional. If he hadn't met Empress Yuxia before, he might have misunderstood her.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. It's just a fluke." What a fluke.
This son has the appearance of attaining enlightenment and becoming an immortal.
Empress Yuxia was secretly glad that she listened to the advice of the governor of the state and did not completely offend the dead person. Immediately, in order to ease the relationship, she smiled and asked
"Fellow Daoist Chu, where is your little brother? He didn't come with you?" "My little brother is in the imperial capital and didn't come with you."
"I see, my Susu has talked about your Pengju several times."
"Really!"
Chu Chen smiled and thought of the kind-hearted girl Su Su who had the talent of a strange spiritual snake.
He can see
When they came out, Miss Susu had a good impression of her little brother.
Unfortunately, my younger brother has had the experience of being a "thin demon" and is very sensitive. He is most afraid of women cheating on him.
Although it was explained clearly afterwards, his younger brother Pengju also knew that Miss Susu was kind-hearted and had a good impression of her, but this good impression was limited to "appreciation" rather than admiration.
In comparison, the younger brother Pengju truly loves the educated, sensible, innocent and romantic junior sister, and the two fall in love with each other.
As for Miss Su Su, if the opportunity of "Spiritual Snake Presents Good Luck" comes true, Su Su transforms into a perfect form, and her younger brother Peng Ju also lays a better foundation. The two parties can achieve mutual success and bond with each other, and the two may be able to achieve marriage.
It's a pity that, by mistake, a "Bo Yao" incident happened that year, which had a great impact on the younger brother Peng Ju, and broke their marriage.
This may be "fate".
Tai means greatness and tranquility. If Mount Tai is safe, then the world will be safe.
In fact, as early as a month ago, the Immortal Court of the Celestial Dynasty sent people to build a large-scale round mound sacrificial altar at the foot of Dongyue Mountain. It was decorated with five-color soil and named the sacrificial altar, so as to communicate with heaven and earth and report to heaven and earth Emperor Lingwei's news The achievements of one team.
After everyone from Tianchao Immortal Court stopped for a while in Dongyue Mansion, they went straight to the place of Zen in Mount Tai.
Those who practice Zen build an altar of earth on Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and repay heaven for their merits, so they are called Feng. The hill below Mount Tai removes the earth and repays earth's merits, so it is called Zen.
Most of the secular dynasties were granted Zen status by kings in order to consolidate their political power and show off their achievements. However, in the Dachang Dynasty, the meaning of Zen status was different.
It is not only a matter for Emperor Dachang, but also a major matter for all the princes of the dynasty and the Immortal Court.
Heaven and earth nurture all things, life and death, withering and prosperity, cycle over and over again, life and death, endless existence, immortality cultivators seek immortality, which is actually an act against heaven and contrary to the movement of the Tao. Only by attaining the Tao, becoming an immortal, and attaining the Tao and the fruit can one transcend this world.
This time, neither Emperor Lingwei nor the princes of the current dynasty, the Immortal Court's outstanding meritorious deeds failed to become immortals. If they want to use their meritorious deeds to become gods, they must enshrine Zen in Mount Tai, offer sacrifices to the heaven and earth, and appease the heaven and earth with their meritorious deeds. Only in this way can they become immortals. With the help of heavenly and underworld jade edicts and ghost talismans, they fly into the sky and into the earth.
Regarding "Feng Chan", the entire Celestial Court attaches great importance to it.
The fasting ceremony was held at the altar at the foot of Mount Tai. It lasted for three full days, and the various ceremonies were extremely complicated.
On the third day, the fasting ceremony finally came to an end.
Emperor Lingwei led the civil and military officials of the imperial court, and the outstanding and meritorious monks of the Immortal Court played on the flying seal of Dai Temple in Taishan, telling the world that he had established many achievements during his fifty years of guarding the world, and demonstrated his own meritorious deeds, so as to appease the world.
The letter is fragrant and the green words are burned out.
After the ceremony, God's will responded.
A loud bell echoed from the sky, resounding from the top of Mount Tai.
Hundreds of people including Emperor Lingwei, civil and military officials, and high officials from the Immortal Court were bathed in the golden light, as if they were gods or saints.
Chu Chen, who was watching the ceremony, took a closer look. With his strong soul and the spirit sword, he could see that the golden light on the bodies of Emperor Lingwei, civil and military officials, high-ranking people in the Immortal Court, and those with advanced skills did not fall from the sky. , but from the inside out.
These golden lights are the golden light of their accumulated merits and deeds over the years.
This time, everything is fed back to heaven and earth, in order to appease heaven and earth and make them transcend this world.
After being possessed by the golden light, Emperor Lingwei led hundreds of civil and military officials, high-ranking immortals, and meritorious monks who did not stop at Dai Temple.
In the previous Celestial Court, there were countless powerful people and countless people with meritorious deeds, but only four hundred people could really fly into the sky and enter the earth, and the rest could only become gods in the human world.
These four hundred people were divided into two groups.
A group of about a hundred people, mostly monks with great supernatural powers, including Emperor Lingwei, the Confucian Master, and Xianting Gaogong, walked from the foot of the mountain to the 18th plate of Mount Tai, and went straight to Tianmen Pass via the Tianmen Cloud Ladder.
If the body possessed by golden light arrives at Tianmen Pass, it can go to the Nantian Gate and ascend to the fairy world with the help of the jade edict given by the heaven in the upper realm.
The other wave is mainly made up of officials and immortal officials below the level of great supernatural powers, as well as monks who have made contributions to the Immortal Court of Heaven. They walk on the Tongyou Bridge in Dongyue Underworld. If they are possessed by golden light and successfully cross the bridge, they can Entering the netherworld, he became the god of Fengdu, and the ghosts of Fengdu were in trouble.
Compared with the single-plank bridge of attaining enlightenment and becoming an immortal, meritorious deeds and becoming a god are undoubtedly the Sunshine Avenue.
The golden light on Emperor Lingwei's body was rich, and he was the first to climb the Tianmen ladder and reach Tianmen Pass. Without dissipating the golden light on his body, he stepped into Tianmen Pass and went straight to Nantianmen.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
At the foot of the mountain, Mr. Ming Jing led hundreds of civil and military officials to congratulate the high achievers from the Immortal Court.
As Emperor Lingwei entered the Tianmen, the Confucian disciples followed one after another, and the high-ranking officials from the Immortal Court followed Emperor Lingwei and entered the Tianmen and closed the Nantian Gate. The scene was extremely lively.
Looking at the meritorious people in the heavenly court in the upper realm flying into the sky one by one, everyone watching the ceremony at the foot of the mountain showed envy.
Of course, not everyone is flying into the sky.
There were about ten people who failed to wait for Tianmen and cross Youqiao. The golden light on their bodies disappeared and they lost the power to attract them.
The losers all fell to their knees, heartbroken.
Among those watching the ceremony, some were gloating about the misfortune, while others were sighing.
As a person watching the ceremony, Chu Chen was not among this group. On the contrary, at this moment, his whole person was silent and motionless, and his face was unruffled.
Taishan is the home of gods and immortals, the place where the three realms of heaven, earth and man meet. It leads to the Nantian Gate from the top and the underworld from the bottom.
On the occasion of sacrifices in the heavenly court, the blending of heaven and earth is the best place for enlightenment.
Chu Chen did not waste the opportunity. While watching the ceremony, he wandered around the world and realized the great truth.
The first thing I realized was the "power of Mount Tai".
After learning the master's super-level method, Chu Chen enlightened "Leg Yuanjun" and awakened the super-level magical power [Taishan Divine Leg].
This "Taishan" is Dongyue Taishan.
Being in Mount Tai of Dongyue, and on the occasion of the Zen ceremony, Chu Chen crossed his legs on the ground, his legs connected with Mount Tai, and felt the majestic power of the highest mountain in the world. The power of the [Taishan Divine Legs] was faintly transforming, becoming more and more magical in a subtle way.
Of course, what surprised Chu Chen even more was that he seemed to have an epiphany.
At this moment when heaven and earth meet and the great avenue emerges, he has some enlightenment and enters a mysterious realm. He has a different understanding and perception of the impenetrable [Tian Xin Seal]...
