Chapter 428: Three Realms Immortals
Tennaruko said, Nanfeng listened, and occasionally asked.
Although Tianmingzi has a problem, he also has some strengths, this person is very proficient in Taoist classics, especially when talking about the genealogy of immortals, the head is the Tao, and he is organized.
If you want to talk about immortals, you have to talk about the Three Realms, the Heavenly Realm, the Human World, and the Hades.
The heavenly realm and the underworld are all related to nine, the heavenly realm is divided into nine layers, there are nine states in the world, and there are nine shades in the underworld.
It is not difficult to understand Kyushu, Dayu controls the water and demarcates Kyushu. But about the nine layers of the heavenly realm and the nine shadows of the underworld, there are many misunderstandings in the world, the nine layers and the nine shadows do not refer to the upper and lower nine layers, the nine layers and the nine shadows are the same as Kyushu, they all refer to the direction.
The nine layers of the heavenly realm are the eastern sky, the southern Yantian, the western Haotian, the northern Xuantian, and the middle Juntian, which are the five masters, and there are four pairs, which are divided into the northeast changing heaven, the northwest Youtian, the southwest Zhutian, and the southeast Yangtian.
Juntian is the middle heaven, where the heavenly court is located, similar to the capital city of the world, and the remaining eight days are like the state city outside the capital.
Among the nine heavens, Juntian is the king, and the number of immortals is also the largest, and the remaining eight days are princes, controlled by Juntian, and there are also a large number of immortals stationed.
The nine shades of the underworld are extremely secluded, dry secluded, kun secluded, kan secluded, earthquake secluded, Xun secluded, separated secluded, Gen secluded, and dui secluded.
The extreme darkness is the lord of the nine shades, and the remaining eight shades are controlled by it. There are not only yin souls in the underworld, there are also many immortals of different grades serving there as errands.
The relationship between the three realms is relatively independent, but it is not unrelated, and the relationship between the three is somewhat like that of the officials and the people in the human world, the heavenly realm is the court, the human world is the people, and the underworld is the prison. The imperial court supervises all the people, and those who have meritorious service are promoted to the imperial court to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and those who have done so will be sentenced to prison and punished.
Seventy percent of the immortals are in the heavenly realm, two percent are in the underworld, and the remaining one percent is in the human world, how many immortals are there in the three realms, and Tianmingzi can give an accurate answer, nine hundred and seventy-four thousand three hundred and fifty-eight.
This number is naturally not credible, because it is impossible for Amaruko to know such details, and the reason why he said it so accurately is just to show his profundity, after all, it is impossible for him to count and verify.
However, the approximate number should not be much different, that is to say, the number of immortals in the Three Realms is close to one million, which is something that Nanfeng never thought of before, one million, which is almost the sum of the two Wei forces.
Seeing the doubts on the face of the south wind, Tianmingzi explained, and its explanation was reasonable, the heavenly realm is bigger than the human world, and the immortals also have ranks, and those who are in a high position are like the scholars in the world, and those who are lower in the immortal quality are like the maids and servants in the world.
According to Gao Pingsheng, when the Three Realms were demarcated, there were many immortals who were unwilling to be co-opted, and in desperation, many Da Luo Jinxian took their cronies to coax and deceive, and only then did they get together the initial team.
In addition, these millions of immortals are not all gods, the heavenly realm is the same as the human world, in addition to the imperial court and the government, there are also ordinary people, the gods seen when the Taoist asks the gods to do the law will belong to the heavenly court, that is, a very small branch in the heavenly court, in fact, the heavenly court has other institutions, the heavenly realm is not a group of harmony, sometimes there will be chaos, and it is also necessary to maintain order, the heavenly court is not only staring at the things in the human world on weekdays, they also have their own things to be busy, only after receiving the rescue text from the world, that is, the talisman drawn by the Taoist priest, will send a few officials to calm the trouble。
Tian Mingzi is good at pretending, pretending for a long time, practicing a good eloquence, concise and precise expression, extremely cumbersome things, through his mouth becomes clear and easy to understand.
After making sure that Nanfeng understood, Tiannaruko continued to say, this time talking about the composition of immortals, to put it bluntly, it is the difference between gods and immortals.
This question was Nanfeng's greatest concern, so he stabilized his mind and listened to him.
There are three kinds of gods, one is the ancient gods who sense the qi of heaven and earth and become gods, like Pangu, Fuxi, and Nuwa all belong to this category, in addition to these few famous women and children are known, there are many little-known gods, the bloodline of these gods can be continued to future generations, and the descendants of the gods are also gods, and they are born as soon as they are, not only have a lifespan beyond ordinary people, but also have all kinds of innate strange abilities.
There is also a kind of god who is sealed after death, filial sons, virgins, loyal ministers, righteous people, people who have contributed to the society, and they may be directly sealed as gods after death, even if they have not practiced qi before death, it does not affect the gods after death, but this kind of gods usually have a low status, mostly as a land lord, and good luck to a city god.
The last kind is the alien god, the so-called alien god is some of the profound aliens, discovered by the heavenly court, casually rewarded with an official position, mostly as a mountain god, or it may be a river god, in short, it will not give much power, called the god, to put it bluntly, it is to co-opt, and it does not give any benefits, reward an acre and three points of land, look at it.
This is not bad, but what's worse is that he was transferred to the heavenly realm as an errand, called promotion, which is really to catch strong men, once he stupidly follows him, he is unlucky, and he is doing a living by waiting for people to make a living.
In the past, it often happened that the gods of the upper realm went down to earth privately, and it was often the case, and when they found that the days in the sky were not as good as those on earth, they wanted to run back, but it was easy to go up and difficult to come down, and if they ran, they would send someone to catch them, and they would be punished if they were caught.
This kind of thing can only happen to gods, and I haven't heard of any immortal who goes down to earth privately, and those who go down to earth privately are gods.
Although there is no difference between immortals and gods in the eyes of the world, in fact, immortals and gods are two completely different existences, and there is only one source of immortals.
The three most respected immortals are the Sanqing Patriarch, who is a Mixed Yuan Daluo Jin Immortal with infinite mana.
Under the Sanqing, there are four orders of Da Luo Jin Xian, Jin Xian, Tian Xian, and Earth Immortal.
The lowest grade of the earth immortal has no body, only the soul and the spirit remain, and the cultivation is not enough, so naturally you can't get any good errands, either to see the mountain or the temple, and the unlucky ones are to see the stove and the door to see the thatched house.
You can get good errands above the rank of immortals, which are usually real power ministries, which are idle jobs, and they will not be drudgery.
Power is not only useful in the world, but also in the heavenly realm and the underworld, because the heavenly realm and the underworld also have a degree of food, and the size of the power and status directly determine the quality of their diet.
But immortals are immortals after all, and it is better to have food, but if there is no food, you can't die of hunger. In addition, in addition to the food and drink of the celestial realm, the immortals can also enjoy the incense of the earth, which is their favorite thing, and the incense is equivalent to merit and can be transformed into anything they need, of course, the amount of transformation depends on the amount of incense they receive.
The immortals jointly formed the Heavenly Court, and they have always maintained the harmony on the surface, but in fact, the contradiction has always existed, in the eyes of those natural gods, the immortals who have been cultivated and ascended by mortals are scheming, good at scheming, and most of the important positions in the Heavenly Court are occupied by them. I was dissatisfied, so I wanted to find some balance, like an immortal who crossed the tribulation every few years, that is, the gods put it forward, and the tribulation was limited to the immortals, and the gods did not need to cross the tribulation.
In the eyes of the immortals, the gods are the likes of wild men who drink blood from Ru Mao, with chaotic sources, mud and sand, good and bad, mixed and impure, not only difficult to get into the hall of elegance, but also difficult to take on important responsibilities, so when they divide the errands, good work is often not their turn.
Of course, these words can only be said from the heart, the superficial harmony still has to be maintained, after all, they are all eating in the same pot, and smashing the pot is not good for anyone.
What Amaruko said is the previous situation, and according to the current situation, the contradiction between the gods and the immortals is irreconcilable, and both sides are ready to smash the pot.
Tianmingzi gushed endlessly, spitting at the mouth, seeing that he could not finish talking about dawn, Nanfeng could only interrupt him, and asked the most critical question first, how many immortals were born in Yuqing?
"The Yuqing Sect is good at practicing qi, and sixty percent of the heavenly immortals come from the Yuqing Sect ......"
