Chapter 45: The Four Heavenly Masters
After visiting Wuzhuang Temple for a whole month, I still couldn't find out the story behind Zhen Yuanzi.
Even if they are brothers, things that should be kept secret still have to be kept secret, let alone just such superficial brothers.
But this month, it was not for nothing. At least about the cultivation system of this side of the world and the related bosses, things like the division of forces, under the guidance of Zhen Yuanzi, I already have a general impression, and I am not as blind as before.
The first is the timeline, according to Zhen Yuanzi, the Heavenly Court has been formed, but it is still in the initial period, and the various functional departments are not even clear about their respective jurisdictions, and they are in a state of bumpy groping.
The so-called Heavenly Court is nothing more than a few saints who responded to the call of the Heavenly Dao, each selected a few disciples who were pleasing to the eye, and organized them together to be responsible for rectifying the order of the Three Realms in order to end the current lawless and chaotic situation. Of course, the immortals in this heavenly court have nothing to do with those people in "Fengshen List", and they are obviously not the same story line.
Speaking of saints, Zhen Yuanzi was a little uneasy.
He told Sun Zheng that each heaven and earth could only have a maximum of nine holy seats. The so-called 3,000 avenues and 7,000 side doors, all roads can be channeled. In other words, as long as there are aspiring cultivators, whether they are human beings or ghosts, they have the opportunity to reach the position of saints.
Since the beginning of the world, Hongjun Ancestor has been in line with the way of heaven and has set various rules, among which the realm that symbolizes the pinnacle of cultivation is the Nine Holy Thrones.
After countless years, there are only six well-known saints in the world: Taishang Laojun, Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, Nuwa Niangniang, and the two Western Sects who are leading and Zhun Ti.
Although there are still three holy seats, countless beings have been fighting for them for countless thousands of years. The various means manifested during this period are innumerable.
But it's strange that after so many years of fighting, there are still only six saints. The people who came later, not only did no one be able to take that step, but there were even many immortals who even took their lives in order to compete for this opportunity.
Zhen Yuanzi has experienced many failures, and has witnessed many people with superior minds, even beings who are much stronger than themselves, fall on this road and die. One day, he suddenly realized that he gave up the pursuit of the holy position, and then fell silent, closed the mountain and meditated, and lived his own small life with one mind.
An unexpected surprise ensued, and he had been seeking the path to sanctification in the past, and he was almost the enemy of the world. All those who also pursued the Holy Way saw him as a potential adversary. And after he publicly renounced this path, this hatred disappeared all at once, and he gained many inexplicable friendships.
After giving up, Zhen Yuanzi's mentality changed, and instead he figured out many problems that he had been thinking about before to no avail.
What is it, Zhen Yuanzi did not tell Sun Zheng directly, after all, it is a world full of gods and Buddhas, and if you want to keep some words secret, you can only let it rot in your stomach.
However, he revealed to Sun Zheng that the chaotic branch could make him no longer afraid of the two saints of the West.
This statement is very interesting, Sun Zheng is also shocked, it seems that he really can't send gifts in the future. Look at this meaning, with this branch, Zhen Yuanzi can argue with the second ancestor of Buddhism. It also proves from the side that Buddhism has indeed been putting pressure on him.
No wonder even Nuwa Niangniang is moved, and no wonder that at her level, she has to repeatedly tell Sun Zheng not to give people away indiscriminately in the future.
It seems that you have to keep a low profile in the future, fortunately, Zhen Yuanzi doesn't need to tell him here, otherwise the news will leak out, and those guys who will pay tribute will definitely turn into kraft candy and stay in Huaguo Mountain.
Say goodbye to Zhen Yuanzi and return to Huaguo Mountain by teleportation.
Zhen Yuanzi watched Sun Zheng disappear without a trace in front of him, and he took back the clone directly. Inspiration came to the time, it turns out that the doppelganger can still be used like this!
Sun Zheng returned to the mountain and found Shuangshuang entertaining several guests by the pool.
Well, the fairy world is more outrageous than technological time, and there is no privacy at all. If there is any movement, it will definitely be leaked. It's no wonder that people of Zhen Yuanzi's level have to hide sensitive topics when they talk about them......
The four middle-aged people dressed in Taoism, with serious faces and respectful attitudes, met as disciples.
"Disciple meets Uncle Qingxi!"
Sun Zheng was also quite puzzled, Nuwa Niangniang did say that she had instructed a few monks before, but they should not be so bold, really make a banner, where did these teachers and nephews come from?
Seeing that Sun Zheng was stunned, several people took the initiative to explain: "The disciples and others are all disciples of the Taiqing sage, and now they are preaching in Nanzhan Buzhou. A month ago, he received the decree of Master Xuandu, and ordered his disciples to come to Huaguo Mountain to worship his uncle......"
Ah, it turned out to be Taishang Laojun's lone seedling disciple Xuandu.
The six saints are considered to be the same generation, and from this point of view, the generations are indeed the same. It's just that the four of you, all of you are in the Daluo realm, shouting at me in the Taiyi realm, how can it make people feel that there is such a sense of demonstration.
Yes, he is flawless, these people should not be able to see the realm, so it may be unintentional?
Since people are using their own mouths to contact their feelings, of course, they will treat guests first. Let's talk about the specific meaning.
Then the four teachers and nephews introduced themselves, and Sun Zheng was startled.
Zhang Daoling, Ge Hong, Qiu Hongji, Xu Jingyang!
Isn't this the Four Great Heavenly Masters?
These people are already in the Daluo realm now, and they are also disciples of Master Xuandu, which shows that they have practiced for at least many years...... By the way, this is Journey to the West!
In the orthodox Taoist classics, the four heavenly masters do not have Qiu Hongji.
So those experiences are useless, so I still take this opportunity to have a good relationship with a few teachers and nephews, and learn a little more details by the way.
After Sun Zheng went out, he obediently waited in Huaguo Mountain for more than half a month, and this attitude alone proved that they were not here to make trouble.
Sun Zheng instructed both to treat the guests, and after a polite process, the four of them made their intentions clear.
First of all, of course, I was ordered by my master to contact Uncle Qingxi and get acquainted with each other, which is the number one business that is justifiable.
While keeping in touch with the feelings, if you can reach an agreement with Uncle Qingxi on a few things by the way, it will be the best.
What's going on? Their main business now is to preach in Nanzhan Buzhou, and of course they have nothing to do with it.
In terms of specific operation, these four have been in the Nanzhan Continent for many years, but at present, the entire four continents are in a state of disorder, because although they have achieved some success in their efforts over the years, they are still unable to popularize the teachings.
In the last few hundred years, they unexpectedly discovered that there were suddenly many more Houtu Niangniang temples in the world. After inquiring, I found out that there was a big movement on the underworld, and Nuwa Niangniang's personal disciple Qingxi Daojun, alias Sun Yan Wang, was vigorously rectifying the order of the underworld, and it is said that it has achieved initial results.
Comparing the two, the four Heavenly Masters were very inspired.
No matter where the temple is built, and no matter how big or small the temple is, the message conveyed is always surprisingly consistent.
For all the news related to the Netherworld, no matter which Houtu Niangniang Temple you go to, the feedback you get is the same.
And this point is precisely the most headache and the weakest shortcoming of the four Heavenly Masters in terms of mission.
The four of them were able to stand out from a bunch of disciples and become the Four Great True Legends, and they were personally guided by Master Xuandu to practice, at least in terms of cultivation. But it is indeed a bit wrong to let a cultivation genius like them come to the world to do publicity.
From the day the fourth brother decided to divide the bag and set up the mountain, the four of them held their breath for each other, wanting to prove that their methods were better than the other three. So inevitably, the names of the four Heavenly Masters are barely effective in their respective territories. As soon as he left the local area and arrived at the territory of the other three, he immediately became unaccustomed.
Although the four brothers are still in harmony and will not make conflicts over this matter, it does not mean that the disciples, disciples, and even believers are willing. The battle of faith is sometimes more brutal than the grabbing of territory.
Speaking of which, it has been thousands of years before and after the brothers went to the mortal world, but now, not to mention the unification of the doctrine, there are sects in a few places, and they have even reached the point of being in trouble. Bloodshed in armed fights is a common occurrence, and it is common to kill people.
If you want to talk about mercy for the lives of mortals, at their level, they actually don't care much. But the problem is that their original intention in founding the sect was to spread faith, gather incense in the world, and gather merit. If this situation is in this way, it will have a serious impact on the missionary cause, not to mention the fact that the karmic sins accumulated by causing human life will also be counted on their heads in the end.
After inadvertently discovering the special situation of the Houtu Niangniang Temple, the four Heavenly Masters reported the news to Master Xuandu in time. Then they got the decree and asked them to wait for the opportunity to go to Huaguo Mountain to worship their uncle and ask for their guidance.
Sun Zheng didn't know Master Xuandu, and he hadn't even seen him. But from this incident, you can see the wisdom of this one. Just a few cheap words, Sun Zheng was offered highly, even if he couldn't get guidance, at least as an uncle, it would not be easy to make things difficult for a few nephews.
After Zhen Yuanzi's science popularization, Sun Zheng also knew that the current consensus among the monks in this world is that after Da Luo, if they want to be promoted to quasi-saint or even sainthood, only merit and luck are empirically proven and effective. No matter how much you struggle, it will be in vain. Therefore, whether it is the Sanqing side, or the Western Second Ancestor's side, or even the Houtu Niangniang of the underworld, everyone is trying to spread their influence and condense more incense beliefs.
Sun Zheng was not interested in this, for himself, the experience of the Flawless Golden Pill condensing the national fortune had already made him have a psychological shadow on the path of merit and luck. In addition, the exercises practiced by his three doppelgangers do not need to take the meritorious route anymore. So when it comes to gathering believers, he doesn't really care much.
But others don't know this, the four heavenly masters sat down with smiling faces to confirm the identity of this elder, isn't it just to grab a few more believers and fight for a few more wisps of incense?
Isn't this the bamboo pole that was delivered to the door?
If you don't knock a few times, how can you stand up to Senior Brother Xuandu's hard work?!
