Volume 3: The Exotic Path: Chapter 11: The World Tree

Immortal Realm, the Eighteenth Heavy Heaven, Tai'an Emperor Yatian, Lingxiao Palace.

The Four Heavenly Masters led by Zhang Tianshi looked at the person sitting on the Supreme Throne with tears in their eyes.

The Manchu Dynasty immortal officials stood in the court hall two classes, according to the regulations, at this time should bow to the supreme, and the ministers shouted from the mountain...... But today, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty seem to have been uniformly immobilized, and they do not move at all. Of course, this is not because the ministers are arrogant and disrespectful, nor is it because the saints have changed the etiquette system.

It's really because, at this moment, in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, the person sitting in the supreme position is really too incredible.

Faced with this situation, the ministers invariably chose to be silent, and the person on the seat also chose to be silent. It can be said that all of you present are genuine orthodox immortals, who can survive the three major tribulations and successfully transform the mortal body into the immortal class, no matter which one you put into the lower realm, they are all the world's best immortals, and when they are silent, it is really a complete "silence".

For a while, the silence in the Lingxiao Hall reached the extreme.

However, if it does not explode in silence, it perishes in silence. Sometimes silence is far more oppressive than the clamor of anger – and now, at last, someone can't help it.

Among the four great Heavenly Masters of the "Presumptuous !!", Sa Shoujian, who had the shortest time to become an immortal and had the most fiery personality, immediately pointed at the person on the high seat in the shape of a sword, and roared.

This roar stirred up a thousand waves.

In fact, the Tao of cultivation is for the sake of going against the sky, and how many of those who dare to go against the sky are timid and afraid of things? What they want is just an opportunity.

"Li Tianwang," said one of the most old-looking immortal monarchs among the civil officials in a hoarse voice, "you are not a reckless person, how could you do such a disobedient thing today?"

"Guo Lao is angry, and now the emperor has sat on the death pass and ordered the regent of this seat, and the prime minister of the six realms...... As a courtier, a certain is only a matter of receiving orders. ”

"Hmph!" Among the military attachés, a man in a fire-colored robe with entangled muscles spewed out two pillars of fire from his nostrils, and the fiery tongue of fire turned into two living creatures, turning into a dragon and heading straight for the supreme high seat.

At this moment, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including the person who had been standing still like a mountain and sitting firmly on the supreme position, all changed their faces.

It is true that although these two fire dragons looked fierce and hideous, they were just the martial general's anger and flashy. But what the immortals care about is the meaning that this action represents, the throne of the person who sits high.

The throne of the Lord of the Immortals, and now he is being treated like this!

Thankfully, these two fire dragons were finally not doing anything out of the ordinary.

"Ahem!" Zhang Tianshi waved his hand and put the two fire dragons in his sleeve, "Li Tianwang, the Emperor Great Tianzun has already ordered that once the main position of the Heavenly Court is vacant, we should be able to conclude the 'Group of Immortals Order' and go straight to the thirty-six heavens to invite Dao Ancestor to come out of the mountain to preside over the overall situation, and Li Tianwang is now ...... It seems that there is a lot of inappropriateness. ”

……

The man who sat on the throne was dressed in court robes and wore a crown on his head. At this time, he saw the Manchu Dynasty civil and military aimed at him, but his mind involuntarily drifted to the lower realm.

"Stinky boy," he said silently in his heart, "without Daddy's restraint, you can go to the Nether!"

………………

"Ahh

"It's weird, that girl still has this function?" Thinking of "her" craftsmanship in Avalon Island, Rao couldn't help but shiver fiercely in the realm of the young man Da Luo Jinxian, "I went to my stomach and hurt again, really, the taste of the dishes made by this girl is getting better and better, but how can this toxicity get bigger and bigger...... Wait, this is?"

What appeared in front of the young man was an open coffin, and as for the inside......

Nothing.

………………

With a loud bang, the last hideous skeleton was slammed into by Qin Yingwu's spear in mid-air, piercing through his chest, and the sharp tip of the spear went deep into the floor.

However, Qin Yingwu's expression did not relax.

"Grandchildren," Qin Yingwu looked at the dust flying in the distance, his fighting spirit was high, "Come on!!!!"

Exegesis:

Note (1): Shanhu, a kind of etiquette for courtiers in feudal society to praise the emperor. Also known as "Songhu".

"Hanshu Emperor Wu Benji" records: In the spring of the first year of Yuanfeng, Emperor Wu ascended Songshan, and the officials who followed heard three voices shouting long live faintly from the mountain. ("Historical Records: Xiaowu Benji" contains: "In March, the East Xingwu clan, Liden Zhongyue Tai Room. The official heard the words 'long live' clouds at the foot of the mountain. When asked, the top does not speak; So 300 households were enshrined in the Tai Room, and it was ordered to be noble. On Mount Tai in the east, the grass and leaves of the mountain have not grown, and it is the Mount Tai that makes people stand on the stone. Therefore, "Shanhu" is also called "Songhu", because of the climb to Songshan. This incident was also recorded in Emperor Wu's own edict, and the rulers of later generations regarded it as "auspicious", and set "Long live Shanhu" as the fixed ceremony for courtiers to meet the emperor, called "Shanhu".

"Yuan Shi Lile Zhi" has a more detailed record of the ceremony of "Shanhu": all the courtiers who meet the emperor kneel on their left knee, and the master of ceremonies in charge of the court shouts "Shanhu", and the person who meets the court kowtows and responds and says: "Long live!" The master of ceremonies shouts again: "Shanhu", and the people who meet the court are still like this. Finally, the master of ceremonies shouted: "Hooray from the mountain!" The people who met him kowtowed again, and Ying He said, "Long live!" and all the "mountain pine cranes" (referring to the emperor's close attendants) also shouted and said: "Long live", "Long live".

Note (2): Sa Tianshi, also known as Sa Shoujian, also known as Sa Zhenren, is one of the gods and goddesses of Chinese folk belief. Chong'en Zhenjun. He was a famous Taoist priest in the Song Dynasty, called Quanyangzi. One says that he is a native of Shuxi River (now Tangchang Town, Pixian County, Sichuan), and the other is a native of Nanhua (Nanhua Mountain, now Qujiang County, Guangdong, and Nanhua Mountain is in the southeast of Dongming County, Shandong). Yuan Zhao Daoyi's "True Immortal Body Dao Tongjian" cloud: "Self-proclaimed Fenyang Sake." "Sa Shoujian studied medicine for the first time, but he was injured and killed by misuse of drugs, so he abandoned the doctor to visit Dao. On Shaanxi Road, he met Wang Wenqing, Lin Lingsu, the founder of the Shenxiao School, and Zhang Jixian, the 30th generation of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, Xujing Heavenly Master, and the three divisions were anonymous at that time to teach a method and Sa Shoujian, one for the spell jujube technique, one for the fan disease technique, and the other for the thunder method, and Sa Shoujian practiced it according to the law.

Legend has it that Sa Shoujian took the "magic array jade pivot fire mansion" and accepted the heavenly general Wang Lingguan as a general, passing on the secret of his talisman. However, in China, Wang Lingguan's reputation is far louder than that of his teacher. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty (1403-1425), Wang Lingguan and Sa Shoujian's palace view incense was very prosperous. In Taoism, he and Zhang Daoling, Ge Xuan, and Xu Xun are the four great heavenly masters.
