Chapter 243 The Sermon Has Finally Begun, You Have the Emperor's Order
At this time, another visitor arrived. Qi's eyes were more satisfied. Sanqing also knew that he could not delay any longer. Finally, Taoist Yuanshi spoke:
"Those who are causing trouble and trying to block the car with their arms and mayflies shaking the trees are naturally not wise people."
"He has empty ambitions, but has no sympathy for heaven and earth, and no sympathy for all living beings. He is not a good person."
At this point, Yuanshi said no more. With outsiders present, what he could say was these two points was the limit, and he could not force too much.
Qi naturally knew the truth and would not press any more. He just said with a satisfied smile:
"What fellow Taoist said is absolutely true. How can such a person who doesn't know how to promote and who is so ignorant and undisciplined be able to shoulder the important task of commanding all living beings in the world?"
"All his actions are just to increase laughter, or stir up temporary storms, but in the end they will not last long."
Di Jun also agreed:
"What I pray for makes sense. People like this practice recklessly. They don't know the laws of heaven and their righteousness. How can they be the masters of heaven and earth?"
"What he did was just to add more troubles to the wilderness, and his life was nothing."
Fuxi Taiyi Nuwa also smiled and said:
"That's right."
For a moment, the audience was laughing and talking, and the atmosphere was extremely joyful.
Sanqing felt a little bitter in his heart, but it disappeared immediately like smoke.
Let's just say it. With their status, even if those careerists don't like it, they don't dare to make any plans against them.
As long as the three brothers work together, no matter how the outside world changes, they will not be affected.
Time passed little by little, and most of the three thousand Hongchen guests mentioned earlier had arrived, with only a few people missing. The atmosphere in the venue was no longer lively and gradually became calm.
With the final arrival of the introduction, the door of Zixiao Palace slowly closed, and a purple aura emitted in the solemn eyes of everyone, with Hongjun lying high on it.
His eyes swept over the people in the field, as if to take note of their faces, and when he saw that they were exactly what he expected, Hongjun sat up and sang loudly:
"Lying on nine layers of clouds, the truth is revealed on a futon. Beyond the black and yellow sky and earth, I shall be the leader of the teachings. The leader of the Xuanmen capital, I will transform into a giant in one breath."
After reciting the poem number, Hongjun opened his mouth and said again:
"Everyone, I said something before, but now that I have arrived, I have entered the Taoist sect. In this case, my Taoism should be taught to you."
As if he knew something, Hongjun paused and then said:
"Now that you have come to my door, while the sermon has not yet begun, if you have any questions, you can ask me."
"If you have any questions, I will definitely have an answer."
After Hongjun finished speaking, his eyes specifically fell on where Duke Dong was, but did not attract the attention of outsiders.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone took the lead and asked:
"I dare to ask the great master, is there really a way to prove the Hunyuan in Xuanmen?"
Hongjun had kind eyes and kind eyes, smiled and nodded in response:
"have."
The people present were overjoyed and excited. The person who asked wanted to ask again, but seeing everyone's excitement, he stopped talking and left the opportunity to others.
Another person asked:
"I dare to ask the great master, does this method require me to practice the immortal way? Is this method feasible in the divine way?"
Hongjun's expression did not change and he still smiled and responded:
"Dharma is not magic. The most important thing is the fundamentals. There is no difference between the Tao and Dao. Naturally, there is nothing impossible. The Immortal Tao is feasible and the Divine Tao is also feasible."
After the man asked and received an explanation, Prince Dong could no longer hold back and finally said:
"The Great God is above. Now that Xuanmen has been established, it should be the sect of the world's Taoism. It leads directly to the fundamental road, but the Great God is willing to spread it widely in the world. It should be the ancestor of Taoism!"
Everyone in the venue was shocked when they heard the words, and looked at Duke Dong, but they seemed to react and immediately supported Hongjun's work as a Taoist ancestor.
When Hongjun saw everyone's attitude, the smile on his face deepened, but he just responded lightly:
"good."
Seeing Hongjun's agreement, Duke Dongwang suddenly felt ecstatic in his heart and spoke again:
"Reporting to the Taoist ancestors, my disciples have lived in the wilderness for a long time and heard the subtleties of the immortal way, so they turned to follow the immortal way. Now they have made great progress."
"It's just that with my accumulation, I can't break through the barrier of Hunyuan Dao and am trapped in the Daluo Dao Fruit. What's the explanation?"
Hongjun glanced at Duke Dong, chuckled and said:
"This matter will be explained to you later in the sermon. There is no need to be so anxious. This is a taboo in practice."
Prince Dong immediately stood up and saluted:
"This disciple is too impatient. Please punish me, Master Dao."
"It doesn't have to be like this. It's normal for people to feel anxious when they have been stuck in a difficult situation for a long time."
Hongjun still looked calm and calm, but everyone noticed the different attitude hidden in it.
Qi and others' eyes were fixed on Duke Dong, and their brows furrowed slightly. They always felt that this man had evil intentions and did not look like a peaceful person.
Sure enough, just as Hongjun finished speaking, Prince Dong immediately responded:
"Disciple, thank you for your teachings, Master Dao. Mu Gong will definitely keep it in mind."
"It's just that my disciples live in the wilderness, and I feel that there are too many and mixed people practicing the immortal way, which leads to chaos, which is very unbearable."
"Now that I have received the teachings of the Taoist ancestors and feel the kindness of the Taoist ancestors, I am willing to establish an immortal court in the ancient times to manage the immortals in the world and spread the teachings of the Taoist ancestors."
"So that they can teach them to remember the kindness of their Taoist ancestors, avoid committing sins, and promote the practice of immortality in return!"
At this point, Prince Dong actually shed a few tears in his eyes, as if he was truly grateful for Daozu Hongjun's kindness.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of Qi and Dijun, but they could not bear it. The occasion here was special, and there would be a time of reckoning when the sermon was over.
Hongjun seemed to be considering what Duke Dong Wang said, hesitating on his face, as if he was really struggling.
Among the three thousand mortal guests, those who belonged to the Heavenly Court all glared at Duke Dong, but they did not receive any instructions from Qi and the others, and could not take any action.
Kunpeng felt a little uneasy and turned his head to look at where Di Jun was. When he saw Di Jun shaking his head slightly, he calmed down and regained his composure.
Hongjun took all the expressions of everyone into his eyes, and after a long while he said:
"You were originally born as a pure Yang, and you practice the Pure Yang Dao. You are born with such a destiny. To lead the pure Yang energy in the world, you have the destiny of the Emperor of Heaven."
As soon as Hongjun finished speaking, everyone in the arena had different eyes. Qi and Dijun and others' eyes were full of murderous intent, and they knew in their hearts that this person could not be kept.
Prince Dong was overjoyed and didn't realize there was anything wrong. He thought in his heart that if he had Hongjun's support, he would not be able to sit in the position of Lord of Heaven and Earth.
But before he could show joy, Hongjun spoke again:
"It's reasonable for you to think this way now, but it's just that the heaven stands in the wilderness now, commanding the heaven and earth, and moving the stars, which is a great merit."
"What he did was not immoral, and he was considerate of the great things before him. His destiny is also very human, and he is the same as you."
"If you don't create the Immortal Court and choose to join the Heavenly Court, Pindao can recommend it for you. After several Heavenly Emperors realize the Way of Hunyuan, they will help you become a Heavenly Emperor."
"Although this move requires you to wait for a while, it is safer and has no risks. I wonder if you are willing?"
Duke Dongwang was a little moved when he heard this, but he was a little disappointed when he heard that he was just a Heavenly Emperor. After hesitating for a moment, he refused:
"Reporting to the Taoist Patriarch, Mu Gong is not a person who is greedy for power. He established the Immortal Court to repay the kindness of the Taoist Patriarch."
"Moreover, Mu Gong has many friends, all of whom are like-minded. They are willing to promote the immortal way as their own duty, and do not want to see the current chaos of immortals and demons again."
"Although the Emperor of Heaven is good, he has his own laws. If Mu Gong does this, he is betraying his friend's ambitions. Mu Gong is unwilling to do this."
What Prince Dong means is that he has many like-minded friends, and heaven has its own rules and regulations.
If he joins the Heavenly Court, he cannot violate Heavenly rules and reward them.
Moreover, the personnel of the Heavenly Court Department are now well divided, and his group of like-minded friends may not be able to join them, so naturally they cannot be used to his advantage.
His group of friends supported him, but he could not bring them enough benefits. This was the reason for the betrayal mentioned by Duke Dong.
Moreover, we have to wait for several Heavenly Emperors to realize Hunyuan before they can join in to check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps. This takes too long to wait.
And whether it can be proven successful or not is one thing. He is not willing to just wait like this.
Hongjun and everyone else naturally understood what he was thinking, but most of them didn't take it seriously. Even for Hongjun, Prince Dong's answer was already within his expectation.
"Forget it, since you have such a heart for fisting, I should treat it as yours."
"It's just that you have thought carefully about it. Your path is full of twists and turns and dangers, and I can't help you."
There was a light of unknown meaning in Hongjun's eyes, but no one noticed it, and their eyes were all focused on Duke Dong.
"Reporting to the Taoist Patriarch, Mu Gong has made up his mind. Those who can achieve great things since ancient times should not be afraid of hardships and dangers."
Duke Dongwang's voice was full of determination, and looking at his resolute face, it seemed as if he was really working for the welfare of all sentient beings.
Hongjun still looked kind-hearted and said softly:
"Good, since that's the case, just listen to the law."
"The male Mugong listens to the decree. Since you have the intention to practice the Pure Yang Dao, you have the innate Pure Yang destiny. You can control the pure Yang energy of all the heavens, and you should be the leader of the male immortals in the world."
"Give me the best innate spiritual treasure, the dragon-headed crutch, to use for protection and self-defense. I hope you will not forget what I said at this time, and you should set an example for the immortal way."
Hongjun's voice resounded throughout the ancient land, which also made Qi, Dijun and others look extremely embarrassed. However, before his voice stopped, Hongjun spoke again:
"Nv Guhui listens to the decree. You practice the Xuanyin Dao, have the innate Xuanyin destiny, and command the Xuanyin energy in the heavens. You should be the leader of the female immortals in the world."
"Give me the best innate spiritual root, the Renshui flat peach tree. This tree blooms once every 30,000 years, bears fruit once every 30,000 years, and matures only after another 30,000 years."
"This fruit has the effect of replenishing vitality, nourishing the lungs, condensing the soul, and promoting qi and blood."
"If you eat one fruit, you can instantly become a golden immortal and avoid disasters. Three disasters and six disasters will not happen to you."
"Ordinary people can learn the art of spiritual vision without practicing, and if they hear it, their life span will be endless. If there is no harm from swords and soldiers, their life span will be as long as the sun and the moon."
"Wang Er..."
Gu Hui's eyes were full of disbelief, and he felt the looks from Di Jun, Qi and others. He was shocked and felt that his death was imminent.
Before Hongjun could finish speaking, Gu Hui interrupted:
"Reporting to the Taoist Patriarch, I cannot return to Kunlun for a few days of cultivation. I have neither made any meritorious deeds nor have any intention to control the world. I just want to focus on pure cultivation."
"Fenghui really has no intention of accepting the title given by the Taoist Patriarch. It is not due to external reasons. This is not where Fenghui's intention is!"
Hongjun was unmoved. After finishing what he said, he opened his mouth again and explained:
"This is not the intention of a poor person. You have a special destiny, so it should be like this."
Gu Hui fell into deep thought, but didn't know how to deal with it. After much hesitation, he made up his mind and decided to go to heaven to plead guilty after the sermon.
Even if you hand over the Renshui Flat Peach and join the Heavenly Court, as long as you can avoid disaster, it is still worth it.
Two treasures flew out of Hongjun's cuffs. One was a dragon-headed walking stick, which flew into the hands of Duke Dong, making him thank him endlessly.
One is a water-flat peach tree, which is barely a foot tall in the Zixiao Palace. It is as big as a potted plant. The muscles and bones on it are tangled, and everyone can imagine how big it is.
However, the attitudes of the two men in Shou Bao were completely different. Duke Dong was very excited, while Gu Hui had a sad face, as if he was about to go to the execution ground.
Hongjun didn't care about the different expressions of everyone present. After awarding the treasure, he said:
"Everyone, since everything has been done now, I don't think there are any more questions. The time for the sermon is coming, so everyone should concentrate and meditate."
After saying that, Hongjun closed his eyes until a bell rang, then slowly opened his eyes and said:
"The sermon's time has come, and the sermon begins."
Then in the eyes of everyone, Hongjun's lips moved slightly, but no sound was heard. He only saw thousands of golden lotuses blooming, and countless rays of clouds rising.
I didn't realize it at the beginning of the prayer, but suddenly I felt that the great road was unfolding in front of me, without any cover. The words in Hongjun's mouth also changed from silent to like a loud bell.
I pray that in this sound, whatever I think, the avenue will change accordingly, the secrets of heaven and earth will be revealed before my eyes, and all my insights will be as if there is divine help.
The confusions and problems of the past are reflected in this voice. I pray that as long as you think about it, you will be able to understand it. As long as you ask questions, you will be answered.
I prayed to be immersed in it, sometimes my brows were slightly furrowed, and sometimes my face showed joy. I just felt that I was in the way of heaven, as if I were in harmony with the way at the beginning.
Hongjun looked at Qi with some surprise, knowing in his heart that Qi must have had the opportunity to join the way before.
Otherwise, he would not have understood what Tiandao said so quickly. Hongjun felt a little envious of this, but did not make any move, and just turned his gaze elsewhere.
Hongjun's eyes narrowed and fell on the two men, Jie Yin Zhunti. His eyes were unhappy, and he saw those two people, with the light of the relics all over their bodies, and seventy-two golden rainbows filling the sky.
The golden rainbow has a somewhat empty and delusional image, as if it has great compassion, like the sun rising in the sky, but it also has the meaning of a dream, which seems to be real and false.
The two ends of the golden rainbow are joined together, forming a knot like a round wheel, but the beginning and end are not clear, as if the cause and effect are unclear, it seems entangled, but it is false.
Hongjun could see the truth contained in it at a glance. It was playing with cause and effect, the way to seek truth in dreams, and in the immortal way, this was magic! (End of chapter)
