Chapter 190: Rituals and Rules
The lord of the country sat upright, wearing a yellow robe, looked at the music in his hand, pondered for a long time, and then looked at Zhang Duanjing on the side, and said: "The first seat of the Xuzhou Zi of the Zhenzhen Pavilion has written to me again, thinking that it is necessary to set up Dharma mandalas in various parts of Huaxu Kingdom. What does Zhang Aiqing think? ”
Zhang Duanjing bowed his head slightly and replied, "The Zhenzhen Pavilion is majoring in rituals and rituals, so it is natural that there will be such a request. ”
The lord of the country put down the music and sighed lightly: "Zhang Aiqing, you should have heard that Xuzhouzi not only wants to arrange the mandala for legal affairs, but also hopes that Zhao Huang will preside over the revision of the national laws and rituals. ”
"The minister is Zhao Huang's teacher, and there are interests involved, so it is not appropriate to say more." Zhang Duanjing bowed and said.
"Zhang Aiqing, why bother." The lord of the country motioned to the eunuch next to him to step down, and then pulled out another pile of notes from the table: "Not only the Zhenzhen Pavilion, but now even the Ding Shouzao of the Mingxia Pavilion and Wei Xiuwen, the general of Pingnan, have all written a book, hoping that I will vigorously use Zhao Huang instead of letting him stay at home."
They all said that Zhao Huang's rituals and rituals were of great benefit to the country, and in order to prevent demons and sneaky invasions of people and things, and to deal with the invasion of enemy countries in the future, mandalas should be set up in various parts of the country, so that Zhao Huang would not have to spend a lot of preparation when he practiced the law in the future. Moreover, they also proposed that Zhao Xiao take the lead in rectifying the shrines and sacrifices in various parts of the country, and completely sweep away all the obscene rituals. ”
Zhang Duanjing frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Xiao's cultivation is still shallow, and he can't take on this heavy responsibility. Moreover, the rectification of sacrifices and the revision of rituals are not something that Zhao Xiao can do alone. ”
"Of course I know." The lord of the country said: "The first building of the Zhenzhen Pavilion has been repeatedly written recently, in addition to Zhao Xiaoqing's eyes, it is estimated that he also has the intention of taking this opportunity to strengthen the prestige of the pavilion. ”
"Your Majesty, the disciples of the Descending True Pavilion suffered a lot when they suppressed bandits in Xingluo County." Zhang Duanjing reminded.
The lord of the country paused slightly and said, "This is also understandable...... Actually, I am not against it, but I am just setting up mandalas all over the country, and who can guarantee that this will not be used by people to harm the country's society? ”
"Your Majesty is worried about Zhao Xiao's unforeseen behavior?" Zhang Duanjing asked.
Zhang Aiqing laughed. The lord of the country waved his hand lightly: "I am worried that the national teacher will not agree, even if I issue an order, the Chongxuan Pavilion will secretly do bad things." And now that the clamor of the DPRK and China participating in the impeachment of Zhao Huang has not stopped, once I agree, I don't know what kind of turmoil will arise. ”
"Thanks to Your Majesty, Zhao Xiao." Zhang Duanjing said: "If Your Majesty has an appointment, the ministers should do their best to serve their lives. As for the Chongxuan Pavilion, according to the ministers, he is afraid of internal troubles recently, and the national teacher may not have time to take care of things outside the museum. ”
"Oh?" When the lord of the country heard this, he immediately realized: "It seems that it is difficult for the Chu clan and the national teacher to reconcile. ”
Zhang Duandian nodded and said: "After all, the national teacher is from the Yongjia Liang family, his cultivation is profound, and he claims to be the head of the Qingya True Monarch's blood, even if he is the same as the four surnames of Chongxuanguan, but everything is based on the Liang family, and he may not be able to accommodate the other three." The defeat of the Zheng clan of Hatoe has actually begun to appear. ”
"Then I decreed that we should build mandalas in all parts of the land." The lord of the country said: "As for the national laws and regulations, they are also revised by Zhao Xiao, how about it?" ”
"This is Zhao Xiao's luck."
"This is a blessing to the country." The lord of the country said with a smile: "I have already heard that Zhao Huang is the successor of the Tianxia Dynasty's praise officials, and he presided over the revision of the law and ritual regulations, which also just announced to the world that my Huaxu Kingdom is the orthodoxy of the Tianxia Dynasty, and maybe it can attract many capable people to vote." ”
"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and Kunlun will be unified in the future." Zhang Duanjing praised.
"What a foresight." The lord of the country didn't care: "I just rely on the princes, how dare I be arrogant?" The great cause of unifying Kunlun may not be something that one generation can do. ”
……
When Zhao Huang left the blessed land of Shixi and returned to the Hou Mansion, he "coincidentally" received a decree from the lord of the country, which mentioned that mandalas should be set up in various parts of the country, and for this purpose, the national laws and rituals should be revised and illegal obscenities should be rectified.
And all this will be presided over by Zhao Huang, Marquis of Zhenming.
This situation was slightly beyond Zhao Xiao's expectations, he originally thought that as long as the mandalas were arranged in various places, he did not expect that there would be two other tasks.
When you think about it, it's not surprising. It is impossible for Zhao Huang to be the only one to preside over the rituals and rituals throughout the Huaxu Kingdom, and if you want other monks in the country to participate, the rituals must be mixed with the system, and they cannot go their own way.
The matter of presiding over the revision of the law and ritual rules is particularly important, which almost allows Zhao Xiao to determine the foundation of a country's etiquette and law. If the ritual rules are completed, countless people will study them in the future, and they will all be regarded as Zhao Xiao's disciples, which is a more appropriate "national teacher" than Liang Tao.
Zhao Xiao was even a little surprised, what means did Liang Tao use to make himself bear the responsibility of revising the laws and rituals, whether this kind of thing was done or not, it was almost stepping on the face of Chongxuan Pavilion and his Liang Guoshi, even if Liang Tao made this decision himself, but the others in Chongxuan Pavilion might not be able to accept it.
As for the other item, the rectification of illegal obscenity is obviously to ask Zhao Huang to reappear in Qingyan County to open an altar and patrol the territory, so I don't know what preparations Liang Tao made in secret.
Just as Zhao Huang was still confused, the first seat of the Xuzhou Zi of the Zhenzhen Pavilion took the initiative to come to the door and congratulated Zhao Huang very eagerly:
"Congratulations to Marquis Zhenming! Huaxu has such a descendant of the praise official as you, which can be described as a great blessing! ”
"Don't make fun of me, seniors." Zhao Huang thought that his identity as the successor of the official of the praise ceremony was known to everyone, but he felt a little guilty in his heart, obviously his actions had already failed his predecessors.
However, Zhao Xiao quickly understood: "Could it be that I was ordered this time because my predecessors made a statement to the lord of the country?" ”
Xu Zhouzi said with a smile: "I'm not the only one!" Together with Ding Shouzuo and General Wei, I have written several times to the lord of the country, hoping that you will set up mandalas in various parts of Huaxu Kingdom. I don't care what others think, but the fact that you were cured of the plague and changed the rebellion against the stars is enough to prove that your rituals and rituals are a good way to save the country! Rather than waiting until after the disaster and war have occurred, and then slowly arranging the mandala rituals, it is better to prepare as soon as possible. ”
Zhao Xiao saw Xuzhouzi like this, and knew that he had fallen into Liang Tao's calculations.
The Zhenzhen Pavilion was greatly damaged because of Liang Tao, and the first Void Boat had an inseparable grudge with Liang Tao, and he couldn't confront Liang Tao head-on, but he could find trouble and help from elsewhere.
And Liang Tao just saw through the grudge in Xuzhouzi's heart, and the Zhenzhen Pavilion was also mainly studying scientific rituals and rituals, so he calculated that Xuzhouzi would take the initiative to write to the lord of the country.
A person who has a grudge against Liang Tao writes a letter to ask for it, but it will cover up Liang Tao's true intentions.
Zhao Xiao saw that Xuzhouzi was full of interest, and he felt a little unbearable, and he had to use the other party.
"The seniors are really too high-spirited." Zhao Xiao bowed deeply: "The descendants of the praise ceremony are all false names, if you talk about scientific rituals and rituals, where can I compare to my predecessors who have been immersed in this way for decades?" This matter should have been presided over by my predecessors, and I am fortunate to be able to sit at the hearing. ”
Xu Zhouzi simply waved his hand: "Marquis Zhenming is too modest!" has real ability and ability, regardless of who is older. How many people have been confused for a hundred years and still achieved nothing, I think that I am far inferior to you in rituals and rituals, so there is no need for Zhenming Hou to push it back. ”
Zhao Xiao had to smile bitterly, and Xu Zhouzi continued: "But I'll also be honest with you, I recommended you to the lord of the country to revise the laws and regulations, and I did have some selfish intentions.
You must also know about the situation of our Zhenzhen Museum. Compared to the other pavilions, which are based on the immortal path, the foundation of the Descending Pavilion is not correct, and I have studied a lot of side techniques, so I have been trying to change this situation. ”
Among the six pavilions in Huaxu Kingdom, Yunzhu, Feilian, and Mingxia were originally immortal cultivators, and they were changed to pavilions in accordance with the situation, but they still retained some remnants of the sect, such as almost all the disciples of the sect practiced the same technique, and the use of techniques was very consistent.
Even if it is the Chongxuan Pavilion, it is not only "Nine Heavens Flying Xuan Purple Qi True Wen Treasure". Not to mention the Huaiying Pavilion, the magic subjects are complicated and diverse, and the younger generation of the pavilion students can't learn it.
Only the Zhenzhen Pavilion, they were actually a few small sects and a group of scattered cultivators at first, and when they saw the Chongxuan Pavilion crusading against various sects, they were so frightened that they hurriedly joined together. Xuzhouzi's master, Yao Lingjun, claimed to have seen the immortal true descending to the world to pass on the law, so he asked the first gentleman to set up a true surrender hall.
However, many people didn't believe that Yao Lingjun could really get the Immortal Family's teachings, but he tried his best to please the Chongxuan Pavilion, but instead made the Zhenzhen Pavilion continue. But this is also destined to have a shallow foundation, and most of the rituals and rituals come from the warlocks of the rivers and lakes, which are shallow and simple, even if they try their best to supplement them, they are far inferior to the inheritance of the praise officials.
Therefore, in the past, it can be said that the Zhenzhen Pavilion was the head of the Chongxuan Pavilion and Liang Guoshi, but now it has been abandoned by Liang Guoshi, and it is no wonder that Xuzhouzi insists on going against Chongxuan Pavilion.
Seeing that the barriers between the Zhenzhen Pavilion and the Chongxuan Pavilion are clear, the reason why Xuzhouzi can be tolerated by Liang Tao may be that his actions have disguised Liang Tao's schemes, making many things justifiable.
"The ritual and ritual of the salute is also a collection of the wisdom of the predecessors, and it should not be monopolized by me alone." Zhao Xiao said: "And the revision of the law and ritual canons is not something that can be done alone, and it is necessary to ask for the assistance of the seniors and the colleagues of the Zhenzhen Museum. ”
"We will do our best to assist Marquis Zhenming!" Xuzhouzi readily agreed.
……
When Chu Fenggui walked steadily, slowly climbed the steps, stopped from time to time, and looked at the scenery of mountains and forests near and far.
Although Chu Shi is more than ninety years old, he is different from Zheng Yulou, who has white hair, his hair is black and shiny, and his face is jade.
With this appearance, Chu Shizhong has been admired by many women since he was young, and with the family background of the Chu family in Yi'an, he has a group of wives and concubines, many heirs, and even more than 100 grandchildren.
Compared with the withered Yongjia Liang clan, the Chu clan can be said to be flourishing, and forty percent of the monks in the Chongxuan Pavilion are the children of the Chu clan, and as for those who have no relationship with the immortal path, they are all over the court and the opposition.
Perhaps because of this, Chu Fenggui had the confidence to walk leisurely in the Dilung Mountain, and only came to the deep mountain bamboo hall when the sun was slanting westward.
"You're late." Outside the bamboo hall, Liang Tao, who was dark-clothed and eagle-eyed, spoke in a calm tone.
Chu Fenggui flicked his sideburns: "If you want to speak, you will show your true body, I won't talk to the doppelganger for more than half a word." ”
The national teacher clone frowned and snorted coldly, and then turned into a little bit of light and dust and disappeared. After a while, Liang Tao himself walked out of the bamboo hall, wearing a light satin on his body, and his hair was loose on his head.
"I asked you to come and discuss things, but it made me wait for most of the day." Liang Tao complained: "Little broken teeth, your shelf is getting bigger and bigger, I don't dare to provoke you." ”
was called a childhood name, Chu Fenggui didn't see anger, but sneered: "Liang Tao, you are getting worse and worse than before, rolling into bed with a group of fox spirits all day long." ”
Liang Tao lifted his hair bun: "The taste of the descendants of the sky fox is wonderful. I'm not like you, for the sake of the royal daughter, I put my daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law in the room, even my fifteen-year-old granddaughter. Tsk, it's better to be a real beast. ”
"They yearn for the Immortal Avenue, I personally guide the wonderful method, why not?" Chu Fenggui's face was as usual: "Instead of letting them follow those incompetent children and grandchildren, it is better to be nourished by my nectar, so that the blood can be kept pure." ”
"Bloodthirsty pure?" Liang Tao sneered twice: "I don't know which of your Chu clan's juniors can take charge alone?" It can't be Chu Mengchun's kind of goods, right? ”
The corners of Chu Fenggui's eyes tightened: "Meng Chun was in charge of the place early, compared to Liang Shuo, who was as timid as a mouse and achieved nothing, and it was rare to leave the Lung Mountain and die under the sword of the chaotic party, it was better after all." ”
"These words are vicious." Liang Tao invited the other party into the bamboo hall: "Don't gossip, I specially invited you to go up the mountain to discuss important matters." ”
"What's the big deal?" Chu Bong-gyu's expression was cold.
"It's time for you to stop it." Liang Tao said: "I can't watch the Chongxuan Pavilion being dragged down by your insistence. ”
"Single-minded?" Chu Bong-gyu's tone was aggressive: "Who is bent on going his own way?" For the sake of your reputation, you personally killed all kinds of ghosts and gods, do you know that such actions have damaged the foundation of Chongxuan Pavilion? ”
"Do you think I'm doing it for the sake of fame?" Liang Tao was not angry, and took the initiative to pour tea for the other party, as if facing an old friend, and said with a pleasant face: "In the past, I let you cook for yourself, so I trusted you."
I am also aware of the collusion between the people below and all kinds of ghosts, gods and monsters, but this kind of thing cannot be put on the table after all. Since I have been pierced, it is my duty as the first seat, not for my reputation alone, but for the entire Chongxuan Pavilion. ”
"For the entire Chongxuan Pavilion? You can say that, too! Chu Fenggui snorted coldly: "You watched the fall of the Hatojiang Zheng clan, and at that time I wondered what your intentions were. At this moment, I understand that there is no Chongxuan Pavilion in your eyes, there is no immortal blood, and there may not even be a Qingya Patriarch, you can only tolerate yourself in your eyes! ”
Liang Tao was gentle and as before: "If there is no me, is there still Chongxuan Pavilion?" There were also many elders of your Chu clan who were reluctant to leave Middle-earth, but what was the result? For the sake of you following me to the Earth Lung Mountain and working together to open the Chongxuan Pavilion again, have you ever enjoyed the wonderful method of immortal fate, wealth and comfort now? I forcibly suppressed the realm, detained the mortal world for a long time and refused to ascend, because I was worried that you would not be able to hold the Chongxuan Pavilion. ”
