Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Gods Descend into the World and Scatter Beans in the Dust
When the city of Dunhuang was in chaos, when countless Heavenly God Cultists and the Ming defenders and Han people were killed, there was also a stele tower on the peak of Yuquan Mountain, which was thousands of miles away, and it was like a sharp sword plunging straight into the sky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The stele tower is made of huge granite stone, and thousands of craftsmen have been mobilized to work day and night just to carve the pattern, there are holes in the stone, and the bronze juice is poured inside to fix the top and bottom, and it will not fall down for thousands of years, and it will be immortal for ten thousand years. It is about nine zhang high and about one zhang wide. It is shaped like a sharp sword, and the sword points to the sky. One side of the tower monument is engraved with Taoist spell scriptures, gilded, and the other side is a few gilded characters - China is immortal, and the heroic spirit is immortal. Under the tower monument is the pedestal of pure white marble, and the altar made of white marble, the upper circle and the lower circle, carved with countless auspicious cloud patterns.
The tower monument was completed a few days ago, and the original Zhengde Emperor was ready to wait until the completion of the "Chinese Thousand Autumn Temple" to open it again. Who knows, Yunhua suddenly changed his mind. It must be completed today. I don't know how she persuaded Zhang Tianshi, as well as a high-ranking Taoist teacher, on the day she changed her mind, she took the Taoist disciples from all over the capital to Yuquan Mountain to chant scriptures and pray for blessings, and opened the tower monument.
For a while, the capital was a sensation, when can I see so many Taoist palaces doing a Dharma in unison! For a while, there was a crowd of people at the foot of Yuquan Mountain, and if it weren't for the officers and soldiers of the Beijing battalion blocking the mountain road, I don't know how many ordinary people would come to "occupy" the mountain!
With such a big movement in the Daomen, the Buddha Gate is not deaf. The Huaxia Qianqiu Temple is related to the national sacrifice, and whoever can get this errand is the orthodoxy of the "state religion" as a matter of course. Originally, they accounted for half of the good, but I didn't expect Daomen to be so "despicable" that they wanted to get rid of them and eat alone.
Is this worth it? Just when the disciples of Taoism went out of the city on the front foot, several eminent monks and great virtues of the Beijing division on the back foot, as well as the living Buddha lamas who entered Beijing, joined forces to run in front of Emperor Zhengde, and they also wanted to lead the Buddhist disciples of the whole capital to Yuquan Mountain to chant scriptures and pray for blessings, and open the light to ask God.
Emperor Zhengde was so worried that he couldn't do it, it was originally a matter of people's Taoism, but after the dust immortal master was busy, it didn't seem to be very authentic for you to intervene so horizontally! Just when Emperor Zhengde was annoyed by a group of monks, Li Dongyang led the cabinet ministers to hear the news and rushed over.
After some discussion, Emperor Zhengde and the cabinet ministers came up with an idea to throw the pot off, and let the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism discuss it themselves, and the court agreed to any result. Several eminent monks and living Buddhas immediately returned satisfied, and they didn't know how they discussed with Zhang Tianshi and the Three Mountains Sects, anyway, the monks from the capital also followed them up to Yuquan Mountain the next day.
So on the hill, which is not big, the Taoist priest and the monk chant their own scriptures, and the black pressure is a big one, and the sound of the scriptures is like thunder, which is not spectacular.
Early in the morning of the third day, Emperor Zhengde accompanied Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Xia to go out of the city with a group of civil and military ministers. The royal phoenix luan, the mighty and magnificent is not spectacular. Speaking of pitiful, Emperor Zhengde finally went out of the city, and the interest was quite high along the way, and the Empress Dowager Zhang finally had the opportunity to leave the cold Forbidden City to look around, and she was in a good mood, and her daughter-in-law talked and laughed, and it was rare to give the queen a good face (because of the problem of heirs, she complained that the queen was not effective, and she couldn't catch the heart of Emperor Zhengde). It's just that the faces of a group of cabinet ministers are not very good, and they look unhappy no matter how they look at it.
The road from the capital to Yuquan Mountain is not far, and it is early in the morning, even if you walk slowly, it will be noon. Emperor Zhengde also has to bathe and change clothes under the mountain, and then the officials of the Ministry of Rites took out a set of etiquette to seal Mount Tai, Emperor Zhengde seems to have little hope of going to Mount Tai to seal Zen, and now it is used here to comfort it. gave a lecture to Emperor Zhengde, rambling and chattering, which made Zhengde want to strangle the other party, and his good mood was ruined.
When Emperor Zhengde was being bombarded by ceremonial bombardment, the Queen Mother took the queen and a group of palace maids and eunuchs to look up at the top of the mountain at the bottom of the mountain. Among the mountains, on the top of the highest mountain, the tower monument that reaches into the sky is still very conspicuous. In fact, it can be seen from a few miles away, but it is not so clear.
"Mother, what is the purpose of a stone tablet that looks like a sword?" The queen has been stuffy in the deep palace, but she rarely inquires about things outside, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I heard Yunhua say: This tower tablet is called Yingling Tower, which is used to attract the heroic spirits of the Quartet and seal the gods on behalf of the heavens. It can also make my Ming Dynasty prosperous and prosperous, and the country will be forever. This tower does not fall, and the Ming Dynasty is eternal! Empress Dowager Zhang said proudly.
The ability of a pair of masters and apprentices, no one in the whole capital knows. Now that such a national memorial platform must be built with such great fanfare, even if the ministers have any opinions, they dare not oppose it openly. We can only use the emptiness of the treasury to procrastinate for a long time, and secretly oppose it. But if anyone dares to blatantly oppose it, it is really uncomfortable.
Don't you want the Ming Dynasty to prosper and dominate the world?
Don't you want the Ming Dynasty to be eternal and unchangeable?
Whoever dares to say a word is a big thief. At the very least, they are all malicious and unpredictable, and their hearts can be punished. The royal family will never let him go, and others can't intercede, which is called political correctness. Do you see that the ministers are no longer willing, don't they also pinch their noses and follow?
"Oh!" Queen Xia was amazed. Immediately, a eunuch came to persuade him: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother." It's cold outside, in order to protect the phoenix body, please also enter the phoenix tent to rest. There are still sacrifices to be busy at night! ā
"Let's go! It was really cold enough. I don't know if the emperor can stand it at night. There is also Yunhua, a little girl, and there are many of her who chant scriptures, and she actually took all her junior sisters to the mountain. The mourners didn't even have anyone to talk to. Even the fox did not let go. What kind of sutra will the fox recite? Empress Dowager Zhang complained. But he didn't notice that Queen Xia's face behind her was ugly.
Obviously, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, Yunhua is the one who can really talk to her, but she ignores the genuine daughter-in-law, Queen Daming, intentionally or unintentionally. Can Queen Xia be in a good mood?
The scriptures on Yuquan Mountain are bursting, and the sound is floating for ten miles. Where did a group of pampered Taoist monks suffer these sins? Even with the thick cotton clothes on his body, he was still frozen half to death on this mountain. I can't miss a trace at all. Who is going to drop the chain at this moment when the two Buddhas are at the beginning of the two doors. There will be no good fruit to eat when you go back.
Under the tower stele, Yunhua is also taking the two junior sisters and Longhu Mountain Zhang Tianshi, Qiyun Mountain Zhang Zhangmen, Wudang Mountain Zhang Jingding Zhenren, as well as the neighbor Qingcheng Mountain Zhangjiao Yu Zhenren, as well as Maoshan Mountain, Yunfu Mountain, Emei Mountain and a large number of Taoist masters with heads and faces while chanting the scriptures. The rice is now lying not far from the stone platform, like a nap. In fact, I squinted my eyes and didn't know what I was thinking. Xiaoxi is not very familiar with the scriptures, and can only be taught and read by Yun Lingzi word by word, which is really a bit embarrassing. But the strange thing is that after Zhang Tianshi or other real people in charge of the sect saw Xiaoxi, they all respectfully and respectfully, and never dared to say anything strange, and if they wanted to ask why, they couldn't even say it themselves.
After half an hour of recitation, it was time to rest. The wind on the mountain was very cold, and the Taoist monks who were in charge of logistics had already carried large barrels of hot tea to the mountain and distributed it to everyone.
"Strange, where did Senior Brother Cloud Fox go?" Konishi looked left with a hot tea bowl.
Yunhua was stunned for a moment, counted on his fingers, and said with a smile: "This lazy guy." With that, he stood up. He walked up to Rice and grabbed a big snow-white tail from under Rice's belly. Who is not the cloud fox?
"Senior brother, how can you do this?" Xiaoxi complained, but the cloud fox was obviously unwilling to leave the hot fur of the rice "bed", and he was not honest when he was caught, and he wanted to drill into the rice again, which really lost the face of the entrance view, and caused the people around him to laugh.
To be honest, if you are a real person with your current identity and cultivation, and shout to accept your own disciples, the line can be lined up all the way to the sky. Even if it is the descendants of the sect in charge, even if it is broken out of the wall, it must be sent to the entrance to watch the door. I don't know what the real person thinks, so he actually accepted a few female dolls and a fox. It's nonsense! But if people are happy, how can the rest of them be qualified to make irresponsible remarks?
Before you know it, the sun has set. The Taoist monks on the mountain also suddenly became energetic. Zhang Tianshi, together with all the real people in charge of the teaching, as well as the Buddhist monks and great masters who had been hard to stick up, stood under the giant stone stele tower together, and sang in unison, "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" And "Nam no Amitabha! ā
The ceremony began.
The sound of scriptures on the mountain rose in vain, and the Emperor Zhengde under the mountain, the Empress Dowager, and the ministers of civil and military affairs also prepared early, and slowly stepped on the road of climbing the mountain step by step as the military horn sounded. There are many guards along the way, and the swords and guns are shining. It's like a court ceremony.
Emperor Zhengde had a solemn face, wearing a yellow robe of the Nine Dragons, a crown on his head, and an ancestral sword at his waist. Follow the mountain path step by step towards the top of the mountain. There can't be anyone to help him along the way, he has to go all the way, he is okay, he is young, and he still likes to practice martial arts. But the next group of seventy-eighty civil and military ministers are really going to die. Before they reached the halfway point of the mountain, they were already kicking like an ox, and their hands and feet were weak. I couldn't even say a word. But Emperor Zhengde was secretly happy.
Finally got out of the bad breath!
It's not red at the back, and it's not angry. calmly went up, and stared out the eyeballs of a group of civil and military ministers. Now I don't dare to show the slightest tiredness. Otherwise, where will the face rest!
However, Li Dongyang looked at the steps of Empress Dowager Zhang in front of him calmly, and said secretly: "Is that set of boxing techniques handed down by the real people really so godly?" "I have already made up my mind in my heart, I must ask Yunhua or the emperor for advice when I go back. Otherwise, I don't know how many years I can live with this body!
Today's first national sacrifice was presided over by Zhang Tianshi himself, after all, he was the leader of the Daomen. It's the right choice. As the emperor gradually approached the top of the mountain with a long procession, the sacrificial lights on the altar were lit up one after another, and the flagpoles of the stars were also erected.
On the altar, the emperor dressed in formal clothes to the Yellow Heavenly Queen soil, the mountains and rivers and the earth rose three times, and then Zhang Tianshi personally recited the green words written by Li Dongyang, and then burned the framed to the sky, and the water was incense. Yunhua walked to the tower monument step by step with the "New Taoist Codex" in his hand, and respectfully recited the scriptures according to the Taoist Codex.
Everyone in the audience, including Taishi Zhang, didn't know why, they didn't know what Yunhua was going to play. But as Yunhua read the scriptures, a golden light suddenly shot out from the Taoist scriptures, shining on the tower stele, and the carved scripture spells on the tower stele also lit up one after another. From a distance, on the entire stone stele, countless golden lights surged, causing the audience to be silent.
"Bestow the Heroic Spirit, the kingdom of eternal life, immortal. Defend my Huaxia, although death blesses life, forever out of reincarnation. Today, Xu Shen, Pudu Cangsheng, Wei I Huaxia, Weide Yuanbu, bless my soldiers, and the gods after death! The crisp chanting sound of Yunhua is like a morning bell and a dusk drum, and the sound is ten miles long, so that everyone on the mountain and down the mountain can listen to it as if they are singing in their ears, which is exceptionally clear and unforgettable.
After Yunhua finished reading, he actually held the Taoist canon in his hand and bowed to the tower tablet three times: "Please come to the kingdom of God, please ask God to give it, and invite God to appear!" ā
As soon as Yunhua's voice fell, there was a sudden silence between heaven and earth, and even the night wind stopped blowing. Yunhua raised his head to the sky, and there were words in his mouth. Everyone waited solemnly, but when they didn't know why, suddenly bursts of military music sounded in the sky, like thousands of troops and horses, drums and trumpets. The sound shook the four wilds, and the night sky sounded.
"Ahh Tens of thousands of people up and down the mountain exclaimed, and suddenly a golden light fell from the sky in the sky, shooting through the night sky, stirring up the night clouds to scatter, spectacular and terrifying.
The golden light is getting bigger and bigger, and it's getting bigger and bigger. It wasn't until the stinging eyes narrowed slightly that it could be stopped. The golden drum is played, and the horn is sounding, as if people are on the battlefield, and there are thousands of troops in front of them, ready to go.
In the golden light, a golden gate appeared, and just when everyone was waiting, the gate slowly opened. Under the annotation of tens of thousands of people, pieces of golden-armored heavenly soldiers came out neatly, escorting a Luan cart pulled by several dragons, and slowly descended from the sky.
Strange fragrances arise, and ceilings pave the way. The heavenly soldiers open the way, and the divine light is immeasurable. The true gods of heaven that everyone saw came to earth, and they knelt down on the mountain.
Emperor Zhengde was in a trance, this heavenly god really came! ~
Is there anything better than this to prove that he is the son of heaven and the divine right of the king? From today on, his throne is iron-clad! is backed by God, who dares to question that he can't do half a point?
There was a golden light in the sky, and Emperor Zhengde watched everyone kneel down one after another, and he forgot his identity for a while, and when he was about to kneel with him, the Luan car was already in the air. I saw that the Divine Monarch's left hand was raised slightly, and Emperor Zhengde was like a nameless surge of force, helping himself straight.
"Taiyi is immeasurably saving the suffering Tianzun! Since His Majesty has been ranked in the ninety-five, the true dragon son of heaven. I don't dare to bow to this! On the Luan cart, the god actually stepped out of the carriage and slowly descended from the sky and came to Zhengde.
Light, immeasurable light. Emperor Zhengde and everyone present felt that the Divine Monarch was obviously in front of them, but they couldn't see the slightest bit of his true face. Undescribeable, indescribable!
"The former Song Dynasty lost morality and won the country unjustly. Wenxing and military abandonment, there is a sore of the cliff mountain. Daming Taizu, the dragon rose cloth, obeyed the order, and recreated China. There is no greater righteousness than this. This seat can't bear to have another bloody disaster in China, and see the decline of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts, and there is a disaster of shaving hair and changing customs, and dying in the world. Only then did Shen Yu descend and build this platform for the gods. Follow the example of King Wu and encourage soldiers to use their lives. It is hoped that the Ming Dynasty will have a long military fortune and that the Chinese country will be forever. As soon as Shenjun's voice fell, not only Emperor Zhengde, but also the ministers of civil and military affairs present all changed.
What do you mean? Shaving your hair is vulgar, and it will be a disaster for the world. Does the Ming Dynasty want to repeat the disaster of the former Song Dynasty?
A group of Zi Wenchen's faces were not very good, obviously as soon as this god said this, Da Ming Wenchen would be sad in the future. Who would dare to suppress the generals unscrupulously, wouldn't it be the martial arts again when the time comes, and the world will be in chaos?
The faces of the nobles are not very good, they know their own affairs, and the Ming Dynasty is not prosperous, they are the biggest black hands. They were all pale and didn't know what they were thinking.
Emperor Zhengde was overjoyed, and felt that this god was too right, and he was in his heart. There was no reason before, but now God wills, see who dares to oppose him?
After the Divine Monarch finished speaking, he immediately rose slowly, stood in mid-air, and suddenly said to the crowd of people kneeling below: "I am a god, leading the heroes of the Quartet, and when I am dying, praise my name, and I should be the heroes of China and the Kingdom of God." There is a jade bridge in the gods, which can go to the Miaoyan Palace of Changle in the East. Once you cross this bridge, you will never be free from the suffering of reincarnation, and you will never be destroyed. I have Danqing, and I remember the merits of thousands of years. Those who are meritorious live in bliss, and those who are guilty sink into the sea of misery. Thousands of autumn sacrifices, incense endlessly. The heroic spirit is forever, and China is a thousand years! ā
After the Divine Monarch finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed. A golden light fell from the sky, shining on the tower stele, and for a time the golden light on the tower stele was ten thousand ways, illuminating all directions.
"Taiyi Immeasurable Salvation Tianzun!" After a low chant, the god king boarded the luan car and slowly left.
It wasn't until the golden light had dissipated and the night had returned to normal for a long time that people woke up from the shock. For a while, there was a lot of discussion, and his expression was uncertain. However, the soldiers under the mountain began to chant long live in unison, and for a while, the night sky echoed endlessly.
Only then did the ministers of civil and military affairs fall to their knees and shout long live. Emperor Zhengde's face was full of red light, looking at the direction of the Divine Monarch's departure, looking up at the sky. Silent for a long time.
Don't know why? Zhengde always felt that the Divine Monarch felt so familiar to him. Obviously, all he saw was an immeasurable piece of golden light, and he couldn't see his face clearly at all. But why do you always feel like you've seen it somewhere?
Zhengde shook his head, put this "absurd" idea behind him, looked into the distance, and felt for the first time that he could be high-spirited and hold the country again.
On Yuquan Mountain, everyone was still cheering for the miracle, and when the shock was inexplicable, the dust was thousands of miles away in the sky above Dunhuang, and saw a sword attack in Dunhuang City, and the blood was colored. Suddenly, his brows jumped, and he immediately stood on top of the clouds and laughed.
"Taiyi immeasurably seeks to save the suffering Tianzun!" Lichen lightly bowed to the east, and when he stretched out his hand, there was an extra creation in his hand that was exactly the same as the Yuquan Mountain Tower Monument. It's just that what Lichen holds in his hand is just a mini model that has shrunk countless times.
"Go" The dust threw the tower monument lightly, and an immeasurable light rose into the sky. Just when the people inside and outside the city were shocked by this sudden golden light, Lichen didn't know where to find a large handful of beans and threw them towards Dunhuang City. (To be continued.) )
