Chapter 261: Shangyuan Festival(1/2)
For the countries in the Central Plains, the sudden disappearance of the Gongshu school of learning was not a big deal.
But Lord Yun Shen suddenly came to the Wei Dynasty and announced the decree of Lord Kongchen Dao.
That's the real deal.
Even though the Yin Yang Sect of the Great Wei Dynasty realized what might be about to happen next, they suppressed the leakage of the news in order to prepare in advance.
It still cannot stop the news from spreading all over the world. As long as the name Kongchen Daojun is added to any news, it will be the biggest event in the world.
This kind of news cannot be suppressed no matter how hard it is.
Shenjing and Si Tianjian of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In the huge capital city, where the Tree of the God of Tao originally took root, a lush and stretching peach grove has grown.
The criss-crossing streets in the square pass through tall and dense peach trees. Although it is cold winter, the peach blossoms are still in bloom.
Like a fantasy.
Although it is not as shocking and magical as the Peach God Tree in the past, it still attracts people in the city to come here to worship Lord Tao.
The disappearance of the Peach God Tree and the departure of Tao Shenjun did not bring much change to the entire Shenjing.
On the contrary, since the gate of hell was opened, it has brought huge changes to Shenjing of the Great Zhou Dynasty and all the great avenues in the world.
Originally, with the help of the Emperor Yuan of the underworld, Tiangao, due to various restrictions, various great sects were granted temporary access to the task of canonizing ghosts and gods.
Now the duty of appointing ghosts and gods has been completely lost.
Nowadays, all matters related to ghosts and gods are subject to the City God's Ghost and God Examination held every month by the Yin Division of the Underworld. In the end, the Yin Cao Underworld directly appoints and takes office, without going through the hands of the Yang Jian.
There is no longer a direct relationship with their Yang world Taoist sects and forces, which once again weakens the mutual interference between the Yin and Yang worlds.
Although the Taoist Academy and the royal family can still exert some influence on the underworld with their respective inheritance powers, they are no longer able to directly intervene in the underworld as before.
Thanks to Dao Lord's good fortune, Taoist Master Zheng Lingxu, the Great Zhou Si Tian Jian, has been freed from all kinds of tedious ghost and god affairs recently.
Today is the time to lecture again. Taoist Master Lingxu rarely has free time, so he came to personally teach these younger generations who are incompetent, have never suffered, and have lived too many good lives.
Taoist Lingxu had just spoken for a few pages before he immediately became obsessed with the past and his words became longer and longer.
As I get older, I like to talk about my courage back then.
"I think of the old Taoist, who has gone through countless battles between monsters and demons. It can be said that he emerged from the sea of blood fighting in the sky."
"If you don't want to talk about anything else, just talk about the recent time."
"During the great disaster in Lingzhou, Lao Daodao rushed to Lingzhou without any hesitation."
"Although when I arrived, the sorcery swept across the entire state, and the extremely ferocious Three Disasters had already been killed by Dao Lord's sword, my spirit and will were deeply valued by Dao Lord, and I was praised by Dao Lord and his elders.
"
"When the group of demons went to Beijing, the old Taoist turned the tide and broke through the trap set by the demons regardless of life and death. He finally met Dao Lord Kongchen and finally reported the news to Lord Tao Shenjun. Finally, the five unparalleled evil demons of Yin Yang Taoist were finally destroyed in Yanding Mansion.
.”
"Later, when Shenjing was transformed into the capital of demons, the Taoist king consecrated the gods to suppress all demons. It seems that he also had the merits of an experienced Taoist!"
Everyone sat around in the attic of Sitianjian's office, listening to Taoist Lingxu tell the story of that year.
Although most people have heard of it, no one involved can tell it so wonderfully.
These young Taoist boys and Taoists were all very excited after hearing this, and they obviously took some of Taoist Lingxu's exaggerated words to be true.
No one could have imagined the embarrassment, hesitation and despair Taoist Lingxu was feeling at that time.
Taoist Lingxu kept talking about how he gained the respect of Taoist Lord and how he was entrusted with important tasks in the past, which made the group of young Taoist priests below excited.
"Jianzheng, have you really seen Lord Kongchen with your own eyes?"
"Jian Zheng Zheng, Daojun, is he the same as in the painting?"
"Jian Zheng is really powerful. Among the seniors of the Dao sect, there are probably not many people who can be as favored and recognized by the Tao Lord as Jian Zheng!"
The old Taoist was as proud as when he was in Yanding Mansion and was surrounded by a group of disciples in the small courtyard.
But thinking of this, the old man felt sad.
Most of the former group of disciples perished in that great chaos.
Many people have no bones left and their souls are scattered.
At this time, a middle-aged Taoist broke in. After finding Jian Zheng Lingxu, he immediately said: "Jian Zheng, there is something going on over there in Dawei."
"Nowadays, everyone in the Daoist sect of the Great Wei Dynasty spreads the word that the Taoist Lord will reestablish the Kunlun God Realm."
Taoist Lingxu suddenly panicked, and immediately remembered Tao Shenjun's instructions before he left, and blurted out.
"How can it be?"
"Such a secret thing? How did they know?"
Then he immediately scolded the visitor: "Also, how can such an important matter be discussed here?"
The visitor was so reprimanded by the old Taoist Lingxu that he could not hold his head up, and said with a mournful face: "Jianzheng, now the news has spread. Almost everyone who knows knows it, and those who don't know should know it in a few days."
Everyone looked at Taoist Lingxu, and looked at Taoist Lingxu’s appearance, as if they already knew it!
Everyone recalled what the old Taoist Lingxu had boasted about before, and their eyes suddenly became hot.
Could it be that Old Taoist Lingxu has long been favored by Taoist Master Kongchen and has already decided to go to Kunlun?
In the afternoon of the same day, the old Taoist who had just escaped from the ghosts and gods was once again besieged by his peers from all branches of the Taoist sect.
"Jianzheng, I heard that you are going to Kunlun soon?" An old man shook his Bagua Taoist robe and rushed in with quick steps.
"I heard that Taoist Master Kongchen opened the Kunlun Divine Realm. Jian Zheng has secretly received the news and will set off soon." The Taoist with white hair and childlike face, carrying a sword on his back, followed closely behind.
"This Kunlun God Realm is the old Taoist ancestral court! Isn't it that Dao Lord wants to rebuild the unfinished business of the old Taoist ancestral court?" Everyone's eyes were blazing.
"When Jian Zheng goes this time, he is going to the Immortal Realm of Shenting!" As soon as these words came out, the envy and jealousy in the eyes of all the Taoists could not be concealed.
If you can go to the Immortal Realm of Shenting, why do you want to be a prisoner? You can't do it even if you are given ten prisonerships.
Taoist Lingxu was sitting peacefully, thinking about what happened to Wei. He put down the tea cup more than ten times and finally took a sip.
A group of people rushed in unexpectedly and talked a lot.
The old Taoist, who had been relatively calm after seeing many such scenes, immediately spat out a mouthful of hot tea after hearing this, almost choking.
Then a crime broke out.
"Where did this rumor come from?"
Lingxu waved his hands repeatedly: "The old Taoist didn't say it, the old Taoist didn't say it."
The Taoists looked at each other and said nothing, which means that it is really there!
No one could hold back at this moment. A group of fellow disciples, including Mr. Su, rushed forward and forced Master Lingxu back to his chair.
Their eyes were shining like hungry wolves.
"Jianzheng, you can't forget us for such a good thing!"
"You are about to go to heaven, but you can't forget us and take us with you!"
"One person can ascend to heaven with Taoism, chickens and dogs, but this is the traditional virtue of our Taoist sect! You, Jianzheng, must inherit and carry forward it."
"You have known the news for a long time, but you didn't notify us. This is not what a dignified supervisor would do!"
Old Taoist Lingxu finally managed to get rid of these fellow disciples. Before it got dark, the eunuchs from the palace arrived at the door.
The eunuch said respectfully: "Eunuch, your majesty invites you to enter the palace."
Old Taoist Lingxu suddenly felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the palace, he saw the emperor grabbing Lao Dao's hand with excitement.
The emperor looked extremely enthusiastic, as if he was holding the thigh of a god who was about to ascend to heaven.
"I heard that Jian Zheng has received the decree from Lord Kongchen and is going to heaven to become a god.
Taoist Lingxu's body suddenly stagnated, and his face, which was not white at all, instantly turned into pitch black.
This is too outrageous to spread rumors.
Today has not even passed yet, how many versions of this rumor have already been published?
He was stopped by the emperor and looked like he wanted to hold a candle to talk at night. Even if Taoist Lingxu explained again and again, the emperor was not willing to believe it.
Instead, he kept asking Taoist Lingxu how he could win Taojun Kongchen's favor and let him know that both Da Zhou and he were the most devout disciples of Taoist Lord.
In desperation, the Taoist could only give the emperor an idea that was not an idea at all.
"The Shangyuan Festival will be in a few days. At this time in previous years, the Emperor of Zhou would personally lead his ministers to pray to heaven and earth, report his merits and demerits during the year to heaven and earth, and then pray for the coming year."
"If I worship Dao Lord Kongchen this year, I might be able to attract Dao Lord's attention."
Anyway, it's just a sacrifice to the gods. As for whether the Taoist Lord shows his favor or not, he is watching you.
You can't feel it anyway.
However, the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty immediately ordered the arrangements as if he had caught a treasure, and then kept talking to the old Taoist Lingxu.
To be continued...
