The entire city has been in lockdown for several months.
My late grandfather’s funeral has finally come to an end.
A huge motorcade carrying coffins, surrounded by Jin's immortal descendants, drove to the burial place that Jin Gong had chosen for himself before his death.
This is a valley located in the south of Jiangcheng.
It’s also a lucky place!
However……
Zhao Shui, the high minister of the Jin Kingdom, dressed in plain white, looked towards the valley not far ahead.
Looking inside the valley, there was thick fog rising from the boil.
In the thick fog, there was a vague, ominous voice like a child's voice, coming from afar.
All the Jin ministers and monks who came to attend the funeral were as trembling as Zhao Shui.
The figure of the boy gradually appeared from the hillside.
Wearing crimson clothes, a black deer follows behind him.
It looks like a girl.
She clapped her hands happily, jumped up and down, and ignored the Jin officials.
"The sun is about to rise, the moon is about to set..."
The innocent voice of a child makes people feel as if they are deep in the depths of the Nine Netherworld, giving rise to a bone-chilling coldness.
Everyone's Taoist heart is in the child's voice, just like a turtle shell full of cracks.
It cracked and broke.
"The sun is about to rise, the moon is about to set..."
The boy was jumping up and down happily.
The black deer behind him followed closely and sank into the depths of the thick fog together with the boy.
A strong wind blew, blowing away the thick fog in the valley.
Everyone took a closer look, where was the boy, the black deer?
In the valley, there are countless palaces and Shinto monuments built by Duke Jin during his lifetime.
But somehow, each one collapsed and shattered.
Zhao Shui was suddenly startled.
The childish voice in my ears still seems to be singing: "The sun is about to rise, the moon is about to set..."
Zhao Shui muttered in a low voice: "The sun is about to rise, the moon is about to set..."
"The sun is about to rise and the moon is about to set!"
"This is the feeling of heaven and man!"
"It means the Jin Kingdom will perish!"
"It also indicates that the new Taoist tradition will unify the world!"
Other Jin ministers, Da Xiu, bowed their heads and remained silent.
But obviously, they knew and understood what they had just encountered?
Sensation from heaven and man, a sign of national destruction!
Many of the immortal descendants who have been passed down from Zongzhou to this day are reminded of the ancient legends passed down from generation to generation by their families.
Legend has it that before the destruction of Haojing, Zongzhou was the last emperor who inherited the ambition of Duke Zhou and tried to revive the well fields. In his later years, he led the officials of Haojing to worship their ancestors at Qishan Xianchuan in Zhouyuan.
Before entering Xianchuan, the emperor saw a girl in red emerging from the thick fog of Xianchuan.
Behind the girl was a black deer.
As the girl walked, she clapped her hands and sang a song. The song said: "The moon is about to rise and the sun is about to set. The country of Zhou is about to be destroyed!"
When the emperor heard this, he turned away and returned to Haojing. He died suddenly the next year.
During the emperor's funeral, the princes also saw a girl in red, carrying a black deer, appearing in the direction of the emperor's mausoleum, singing the same nursery rhyme.
Before his death, Boyangfu, the last great virtue of Zongzhou, once told his descendants.
The girl in red is the daughter of humanity and the daughter of the Red Emperor.
It is the embodiment of the destiny of Huode Taoism.
It is also the body of the Jingwei bird who is determined to fill up the East China Sea.
When the Five Virtues come to an end and the Taoism of Fire and Virtue declines, if the Taoism declines, before the death, this woman will return from the East China Sea and transform into a human again to warn the world: The virtue of Fire will end and the Taoism has declined.
As for the black deer, it is the embodiment of the northern stars reflected on humanity.
It is the product of the mating of basalt turtles and snakes.
Generally it symbolizes orthodoxy and dynasty.
Now, the legendary girl in red has become a boy in crimson.
This is a sign that luck is changing, the virtue of fire has ended, and the virtue of water has emerged!
Reconnect with the children's song: "The sun is about to rise, the moon is about to go down..."
Will the darkness before dawn finally come?
I only thought of this, and then looked at the chaos of the mausoleum that Duke Jin built for himself before his death.
Many knowledgeable overhauls immediately changed their expressions.
They shouted: "Quick, quick, quick!"
"The auspicious time has come, my late father-in-law will be buried immediately!"
“If it’s too late, it’s bound to be bad!”
Unfortunately, they realized it too late.
The heavy coffin of the late grandfather on the hearse, which was being pulled by six magnificent horses, began to tremble violently.
Click click click!
A harsh sound came from the coffin.
It was like fingernails scratching the coffin.
Hoo ho ho…
Something seemed to be breathing inside.
On the outer layer of the coffin, the sealing soil wrapped with Ganoderma lucidum found from all over the Jin Kingdom and Jiahe overflowed with bright red blood.
Those Ganoderma lucidum and Jiahe mushrooms were immediately dyed red, then quickly rotted and became moldy, growing countless brightly colored mushrooms so densely packed that from a distance, it looked like there were countless eyeballs growing on the coffin.
Colorful!
"Hurry!" Seeing this scene, the overhauls screamed.
"Bury our late father-in-law soon! Bury him!"
The horrific legend of Duke Huan in his later years is shaking in everyone's mind.
That year, in Linzi, the capital of Qi, the ancestral temple collapsed and all the gods of Qi fell.
In Linzi City, more than 90% of the monks and immortal descendants were all dead!
Cause of death: Five degenerations of heaven and man!
This is the disaster of the country!
It’s also the bite of cause and effect!
Those who inherit the country's filth and suffer the world's misfortune.
It will surely become the carrier of the country’s filth and the world’s unknown.
How beautiful it was during life, how terrifying it will be after death!
During his lifetime, Mr. Xian, like Mr. Huan, both received the divine whip, and both became the hope and pillar of the Taoist tradition.
"Hurry up!"
The immortals also woke up.
The late father must be buried immediately!
But, who is going?
Everyone knows that at this moment, those who go to the funeral will undoubtedly die!
Because everyone present is a minister of the Jin State, a prince, a grandson, a minister, or a guest minister who is closely related to the Jin State.
Once such a person comes into contact with or gets close to the late father's coffin, he will immediately become the target of karmic backlash.
Invaded by Taoist evil obstacles.
Go and die!
But it’s impossible not to go!
Because, if we don't act decisively, the late grandfather's corpse in the coffin will be replaced by the evil obstacles of cause and effect, break out of the coffin, and transform into something as unknown as the death of Duke Huan in the past.
Then, Jiangdu today will become Linzi in the past.
Everyone will die!
The deeper the cause and effect, the tighter the connection, the more miserable the death!
Therefore, the great cultivators of the Jin Kingdom were so frightened that they could no longer care about anything else.
The descendants of the late Duke of Jin were driven out one by one.
"Go! Go! Go!"
"My late father died violently. As the descendants of my father's family, you should pay your respects to your late father's funeral!"
Hundreds of descendants surnamed Ji were rushed forward one by one.
Including the Jin Dynasty's retainers, close ministers, and slaves, there were thousands of people.
The great cultivators sacrificed each magic weapon and forced these people to go to the funeral for Duke Jin.
Originally, the Jin State's official office had absolute power and could suppress any dissatisfaction!
When Duke Huan died violently, the tragedy in Linzi was due to the powerful power of the Duke of Qi.
No one can force the descendants of the public family to sacrifice their lives to bury Duke Huan.
It is a pity that the power of the Jin Dynasty's royal family was completely wiped out during the reign of the late Duke Chong'er and his father and brother.
Therefore, now that disaster is imminent, the Jin government is unable to resist the heavy repairs of the ministers and guest ministers.
Because when the late Duke was in power, the power of the Jin State lay in the six ministers and the guest ministers.
Not the office itself!
Under absolute power, thousands of poor people were coerced into a path of no return.
Zhao Shuai stood by and watched with cold eyes.
"It's true that the past happened again!" Zhao Shui thought: "Shen Sheng died inside, but Chong'er survived outside!"
"Cause and effect... cause and effect... one drink and one peck!"
After today, the direct descendants of the Jin Dynasty in Jiangdu may die cleanly.
As a result, the concubine of Duke Jin, who had been living in China and was almost exiled, miraculously became the only one who could survive!
Just like the late grandfather!
Unfortunately, there is no chance for a second Chong'er to rise in this world.
At the moment of the great calamity, the orthodoxy is severed, and under the craze of cause and effect, I am afraid that the young master will take the initiative to sever his relationship with the Jin Kingdom.
…
"The sacred tree collapsed, Luoyang collapsed, Mangshan earthquake..."
"The situation in Jiangdu has changed, and the office is empty..."
In the palace of Yongcheng, the capital of Qin.
The contemporary Duke of Qin looked at the ministers and princes in the palace. He held up his sword and said slowly: "Everyone! Everyone!"
"The facts are clear!"
"The great calamity is coming! The great calamity is coming!"
"So, the holy tree fell, the royal capital collapsed, and the tomb was shattered!"
"This is the destruction of orthodoxy, the destruction of the country, and the destruction of order!"
"So, I am determined to cut off all ties with the Zhou family from today on!"
"We, Da Qin, will sever our ties with the Zhou Dynasty from now on!"
"The etiquette of Duke Zhou and the system of King Wu will no longer be practiced in our country!"
"From now on, our country will no longer respect Mr. Chanjiao as the chief priest of the country!"
boom!
The ministers were shocked. In the ancestral temple, the statues of mountain gods and river gods revived one after another. The gods were shocked, but they didn't know how to deal with it?
Because, this is indeed the case.
The great calamity is coming, and the period of reckoning has arrived.
Once a catastrophe strikes, those who still cling to the dead orthodoxy and order will become the first batch of victims.
But if we don’t respect Master Chanjiao, who should we respect?
Without the protection of the master, you will definitely die in the catastrophe!
Loose cultivators and small countries will always only become pawns and cannon fodder!
Perhaps he has already guessed these ideas that are now the pillars and foundation of the Qin State.
Qin Gong suddenly drew out the sword in his hand, pointed at the crown beads on his head, and slashed out with his sword, smashing into pieces the crown beads that represented the etiquette and rules of the Zhou royal family.
With a crackle, the orbs fell to the ground one by one, then rolled all over the hall, and then turned into puffs of blue smoke and disappeared into the air.
"First of all..." Qin Gong held his sword and faced the east, and knelt down: "Respect Taboo Fei Lian!"
Boom!
Above the palace, thunder exploded.
"She is a descendant of the Holy Emperor and a minister of Emperor Yu!"
"Following the decree of Master Jiejiao from the Qing Dynasty, I came down to earth to assist the emperor of the previous dynasty. Although he died in a great calamity, there are Miao descendants spread all over the world!"
"I, Da Qin, am one of the descendants of one branch!"
"Now we should rectify the origins of the Qing Dynasty, respect the orthodoxy, use the sages of the Qing Dynasty as the source of orthodoxy, rebuild order, and rebuild the world!"
After saying that, the Duke of Qin knelt down and kowtowed to the east, saying: "Unworthy disciple, I will be appointed to the throne. I will kowtow and bow again. Please teach the saint. I ask the saint to protect my ancestral temple, protect my country, impart my teachings, and promote our civilization."
!”
"Disciples are willing to take the Dao of Jie Jiao as the Dao!"
"Take the religious order as the national order!"
"It is like this today, it will be like this tomorrow, and we will not dare to disobey it from generation to generation!"
Following Qin Gong’s oath.
One after another, Duke Qin’s cronies.
Those ministers who have already understood and know the reason.
Baili Xi, Meng Mingshi, Bai Qishu, Bai Yibing...
These ministers who had personally visited China came out one by one and kowtowed: "I respectfully obey the order of the king!"
Then, those nobles who had understood the inside story and had even sent their descendants to Liucheng came out: "I respectfully obey the order of the king!"
Others, you look at me, I look at you.
In the end, they all bowed their heads and worshiped.
When the resurrected gods in the ancestral temple saw this situation, they naturally understood that if they disobeyed, they would be immediately beaten into obscenity.
and……
Master Jiejiao?
He is also a master!
Since the Qin State is the remaining branch of its Taoist tradition, it is indeed reasonable to rectify its origins!
So, they all bowed their heads: "We all respect the laws of the country!"
The ancestral temple of Qin State immediately shook.
Those ritual vessels made according to Zhou Gong's etiquette and King Wu's system shook violently.
These indestructible ritual vessels were broken one after another, corrupted, and turned into piles of powder in just a moment.
And the energy in the sky above the Qin Guo Temple changed accordingly.
The flawless white lotus root slowly dissipated.
A piece of green lotus grows slowly from where the white lotus root disappears.
The lotus leaves are crystal clear, electricity surges, and thunder blooms.
The shadow of an emperor in the form of divine thunder sits proudly on top of the green lotus.
"Mercy! Mercy!" The emperor opened his eyes and looked at his family, country and country.
Countless numbers sloping down from the green lotus like a tide.
It can be regarded as establishing a preliminary causal connection with this country.
…
Chu State, Yingdu.
The King of Chu, dressed in military uniforms, led his ministers directly into the ancestral temple.
The old King of Chu raised his head and looked at the ritual vessel that stood in the ancestral temple, symbolizing the connection between the Chu Kingdom and the Zhou Dynasty in the Central Plains.
The old King of Chu sneered.
Chu State didn't care about these things in the first place.
It's just used as a decoration.
Chu State sacrifices never used these things.
Now, there is no room for these things to even be used as decoration.
The state of Qi has been destroyed, and the state of Jin is in chaos.
The sacred trees of enlightenment of the Zhou Dynasty have completely collapsed.
Rumor has it that even Luoyang has been swallowed up by evil.
"Take it out and smash it!" King Chu waved his hand and ordered.
"No!" The monks from the Chu State Ancestral Temple immediately stepped forward and dragged these unsightly ritual vessels out like garbage.
"In my country, I, the Demonic Sage Queen, am the source of Taoism!"
"However, the empress is compassionate and does not like worldly things. She only preaches the Dharma and does not proselytize!"
"Fortunately, Master Taiqing of Renjiao did not give up and passed on the teachings of Chu people to me!"
"Nie Sun Lu, I am lucky enough to be loved by my master. I am here to listen to the lecture!"
"He also taught the art of farming, the methods of windmills and waterwheels, and the use of wood, mulberry and bamboo silk to make paper..."
"Everyone in the Chu Kingdom is bathed in the teachings of the saints, and the depth of the religious order is impressive!"
"I am so grateful!"
"The country of Chu is lucky, and the country is lucky!"
"From now on, the state of Chu will change color! We not only respect the saint of the demon religion as the holy mother empress, but also respect the saint of the human religion as the source of enlightenment and the foundation of Taoism!"
boom!
The atmosphere of the Chu State Ancestral Temple immediately changed drastically.
A breath of air rushes straight into the Thirty-three Heavens, bordering the Tusita Heaven.
Laojun, who was meditating in the Eight Views Palace, suddenly opened his eyes.
The sage pinches his fingers, cause and effect interact.
"Mercy! Mercy!"
The saint stretched out his hand, and the shadow of the diamond bracelet rotated in the palm of his hand.
"Good!" The saint smiled: "Junior Brother Tongtian, you are truly a believer!"
A big country just threw itself into his service.
And he doesn't have to put in half the effort to train him.
In comparison, back then, after the Great Catastrophe of Conferring Gods, Chan taught Yuanshi to cross the river and demolish the bridge, and even the human orthodoxy that he had worked so hard to maintain was going to be wiped out!
This is simply incomparable! Incomparable!
Even though the sage has already reached the point where he does not take pleasure in things and does not care about temporary gains and losses, he understands that it is a blessing in disguise that a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
I still praise him for stroking his palms.
respect!
This is a very important thing.
Mutual trust is the most critical thing in the relationship between saints.
"When the great catastrophe begins, I will ride on a bull and descend to the human world, so that I can have a good look at this country where Junior Brother Tongtian has trained me. I can have a good look at this country where the human religion, the Jie religion, and even the demon religion have merged!"
"Perhaps, we can learn something from it!"
Laojun's temperament does not like to compete with others.
This is something determined by his Dao and Dao Fruit.
The best good is like water, water benefits all things without any struggle!
Therefore, Laojun is actually willing to subordinate his own orthodoxy to the orthodoxy of others, observe the gains and losses of others, and understand his own pros and cons.
It's a pity that Ben Huiyuan's good intentions were slapped in the face.
Unexpectedly, there were twists and turns, and in the end, the enemy he once had to deal with generously gave him a chance.
He is willing to give his Tao a piece of land, a place, and a place to stay.
Be willing to tolerate and accept.
In this way, the saint was very satisfied!
When people teach Wuwei, they do not want to be the first of the three realms and the first of all saints.
The sage and his Tao prefer to immerse themselves in other people's Taoism and learn and grow through observation.
Best, witness the transcendence of a saint.
In this way, Laojun has a template and reference, and can use his strengths to avoid his own shortcomings.
