Moreover, Heavenly Court obviously looks down upon these people, so not only are their statuses low, but their freedom is also greatly restricted. They even have no way to rely on folk incense to break through the realm. Naturally, the possibility of being able to transfer from official to official is also very slim.
In this way, there is an unavoidable knot in the composition, that is, it must be a dead person. Nezha didn't quite understand this. He guessed that it might be because if you want to become a god, your spiritual body must be transparent, and these people have too much mortal filth in their bodies, so it would be more convenient to become a spirit body.
This method is the "Feng Shen Bang". The last list of gods was conferred during the Zhou Wu period in the mortal world, and it was hosted by Jiang Ziya. Jiang Ziya was very familiar with Nezha, but he was not destined to be immortal and had already reincarnated in the lower world.
At that time, Jiang Ziya conferred the title of 365 righteous gods according to the decree of the law, including the two sects of Chan and Jie. However, among them, there were very few people who taught the Chan sect, while the number of the sects of the Jie sect was extremely large.
When the canonization of the Immortal Ranking ends, the only two ways to enter the list can be regarded as completely cut off. From then on, all the mortal birds and beasts, humans and animals, who want to be ranked in the Immortal Ranking have only the three disasters and nine calamities that are as difficult as climbing to the sky. .
The rest can only struggle to be earthly immortals in the mortal world. For the better ones, heaven may send a decree to allow them to protect Feng Shui and Antai, which can be regarded as a blessing.
To be called "official", one has to have a good relationship with the imperial court in the world and make it legitimate from the mortal level. Those who are not good can only live in the mountains and forests. With such a scale as Wuzhuang Temple, it can recruit many disciples and spread its branches. The only ones with loose leaves are Zhen Yuanzi and his family, and there is no other semicolon.
"It's not easy to be a god." Nezha sighed.
"What kind of religion is this in your family?" Qi Zhen asked curiously.
"My master is Taiyi Zhenren, so he is naturally called Chanjiao." Nezha seemed to know what Qi Zhen wanted to ask, and then said: "But the internal affairs of the Chan and Jie families are not as you imagine. For example, Erlang Zhenzhen You can be regarded as a disciple of Chanjiao, but after all, it is different."
"What is the essential difference between the two families?" Qi Zhen wondered.
"The essential difference lies in the selection of materials to become immortals." Nezha said decisively,
"Chanjiao emphasizes orthodoxy, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, and teaching according to their talents." There was a trace of embarrassment on his face.
"Fundamentally, everything in the world is divided into three, six or nine grades. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as the God List." Nezha said,
"Jiang Ziya is also a disciple of my teaching."
"Jiejiao is different. There are fifty great avenues and fourty-nine Tianyans. All things have a glimmer of vitality. We insist on teaching without distinction. Anyone who has a heart for the Tao can join the religion and intercept a glimmer of vitality for all things. That's why we named it Jiejiao. Teach." He continued.
"I still prefer Jiejiao." Qi Zhen said.
"Me too." Nezha shrugged.
"Aren't you a person who teaches?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Then I can't like interception?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you are the great god of the Santan Haihui. You can do anything." Nezha coughed twice and felt that it was pointless to argue like a child. He said, "Besides, I am different from them. .”
"What's the difference?" Wang Jianguo asked, almost singing.
"There is a type of people in heaven. One is not born as an immortal like the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, the other is not encouraged to become an immortal by going through three disasters and nine tribulations, and the third is not being whipped by the gods until they die and is on the list of gods." As he spoke, a A domineering aura spurted out from Nezha's body. At this moment, he finally had some wild aura like the great god of Santan Haihui.
"I, my father, and Zhenjun Erlang are all this kind of people." Nezha's face was extremely proud,
“Sanctification of the flesh.”
"Should we applaud?" Qi Zhen asked him with a smile.
"Oh, it's so boring. Can't you just worship me?" Nezha was instantly discouraged. How could he still have any domineering aura?
"How does that compare with the Great Sage?" Sun Jie asked.
"If he can't calculate, then he's a freak." Nezha waved his hand and said,
"Strong perverted freak!"
"You can't beat the third prince, right?" Liang Sicheng chuckled.
"Can I see him like a monkey that jumped out of a rock?" Nezha said, "I've already said he's a freak."
"You were born only three years ago, so you still have the nerve to talk to him?" Zhang Qi's voice echoed in the hall.
The atmosphere was awkward for a while.
"You guys still know, listen clearly, you have done your homework." Nezha gritted his teeth.
"Oh, let's not talk about this anymore. Where did you talk about just now?"
"Explain the teachings and intercept the teachings." Qi Zhen reminded him.
"Yeah, right." Nezha nodded and continued to talk. Although Chanjiao seems to be unreasonable, it actually has its own internal logic. Nezha gave everyone another example.
There is a limit to the number of civil and military officials in a country, be it county magistrates or petty officials. This number is a rule of heaven and earth and cannot be changed by immortals at will. Wouldn't that make things chaotic?
The list of gods is equivalent to an expansion of the powerful people in the world. There are only so many people in the world who can become immortals. There are no pitfalls, so naturally there is no need for people to fill the pits. Therefore, there is no need for people to enter and who cannot enter. , a reasonable screening mechanism is needed.
Obviously, this is what Chanjiao has been doing. As for dividing the world's creatures into three, six, and nine levels, it can be regarded as a helpless move. The Great Dao is fifty and Tianyan is forty-nine, which proves that the ultimate of the Dao is fifty. If you want to turn fifty into fifty-one, don’t even think about it.
Jie Jiao has been looking for that one, but if it was so easy to get, there would be no following sentence. The so-called Tianyan 49, the end of the way of heaven is 49. What Jie Jiao has done is not only extremely difficult to find that one First, it is very likely to disrupt the established rules of the previous four-nine. If things continue like this, wouldn't it be chaos?
Everyone in the team suddenly realized.
"Is that why Master Tongtian went to hold that ceremony?" Qi Zhen said.
"Well, that should be the reason." Nezha said,
"It's just that we are much more harmonious now than before. Back then, the leader set up the two formations of Zhuxian and Ten Thousand Immortals, which caused countless lives to suffer. That was a big deal." Everyone was stunned, and they didn't expect that the two sects would fight so fiercely.
"Third Prince, please tell me in detail?" Qi Zhen asked.
"It's easy to say, Jie Jiao. It's good to have education without distinction. The bad thing is that a group of birds and beasts have attained the Tao, and they haven't learned etiquette, justice, shame, good and evil at all. You can imagine how lawless these people must be." Nezha explain.
Everyone nodded in understanding.
"So when the list of gods was released, I guess it was the master who couldn't stand the misery of human beings. In fact, he had good intentions. He lied to the leader about the benefits of becoming a god, so the leader of Tongtian directly said with a stroke of his pen Three hundred and fifty-two people have been listed on the list of gods." Nezha said.
"There are a total of 365 righteous gods, and 352 are included in the Jiejiao painting? Is it because the Tongtian sect knows the truth about the gods, and their noses are not so angry?" Wang Jianguo said.
"That's right." Nezha nodded,
"But I think firstly, the leader himself knew that his disciples had indeed caused great trouble in the mortal world, and he felt that he was wrong. Secondly, this scene was enough to give the sect face, so even if he learned about the seal After he learned the truth about God, he did not have an attack. Instead, he restricted his disciples to go out as little as possible. After all, as long as he doesn't die, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky to become a god."
"Of course there are not only living people on the list, but also many dead people, especially the loyal ministers and righteous men among them. It is the right thing to be made a god after death. But by coincidence, there is the Fire Spirit Madonna, so a war between the two sides is inevitable. ”
"Master Bo Guangchengzi killed the Holy Mother of the Fire Spirit, who was fighting against the Western Zhou Dynasty to avenge his disciples, and returned his magic weapon to the Jiejiao Mountain Gate. The leader did not stand up for the Holy Mother, but the other disciples of the Jiejiao who had coveted the Holy Mother of the Fire Spirit for a long time. To fight for her injustice, Guangchengzi failed to leave the Biyou Palace three times, and then arranged for Guangchengzi and Chanjiao to discriminate against Jiejiao, so the leader went to call for punishment, and the two sides fought. In the end, only two people were left with the leader Tongtian. Three hundred loose immortals..." From Nezha's few words, everyone in the team could imagine the excitement of the battle. Only Wang Jianguo's focus was rather strange: "Is the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit so beautiful?"
"I am now in the body of a lotus root, so I have no idea. However, I once met him from afar, and I was really shocked. But I was still young at that time." Nezha said,
"If you are interested, I can introduce her to you. She is now the Fire Star Lord among the Five Star Lords. After becoming a god, I haven't seen her for many years."
"It's just that Huofu Xingjun's temper is the same as her name. Do you want to challenge her?" Nezha then chuckled.
"No, no, no." Wang Jianguo waved his hand.
"I like gentle ones." In short, whether they are willing or not, both parties must give up and make peace, because Patriarch Hongjun came forward to mediate.
"Ancestor Hongjun is the ancestor of the Taoist sect, and Heavenly Court was built by him. Naturally, the two sides can no longer fight. Win or lose, willing or unwilling, those who should be included in the list of gods must still be included. I just didn't expect that so many years have passed. The leader Still haven’t let go of the grudges from back then.” Nezha sighed,
"My master told me these things. I can't guarantee that they are all right." Qi Zhen knew that Nezha meant that he didn't want them to go out and tell others about these things, so he quickly replied: "Don't worry, Third Prince, not to mention we are in heaven." I don’t know anyone.”
"Yeah." Nezha nodded,
"So do you understand now why the Great Sage wants to marry Zhen Yuanzi?" Everyone combed through what Nezha said in their minds and found that they had found a clearer context.
Immortals are generally divided into two categories. One type is born as an immortal, and the other type relies on self-cultivation.
This part of my practice is the part that has experienced three disasters and nine tribulations. What I don't want to experience is the earth immortals and scattered immortals, which have become the largest group. There are also a few rare mortals who have become saints, not included in this.
