Morning.

Yang Mei is the first willow tree since the beginning of the world, or the kind of hollow, belonging to the [first category] of congenital gods and demons clearly stipulated in the [Regulations and Measures for the Management of Innate Gods and Demons], and it is also the new [Dao Fruit Heavenly Sage]!

"Yang Mei Daoyou!"

The one who greeted him was the red cloud turned by the first ray of red glow that opened the world, which belonged to the [second category] innate gods and demons in the regulations.

"Red Cloud Daoyou."

Yang Mei smiled and spoke, leaning on the old crutches:

"Hongjun Dao Ancestor is going to talk about the Great Road, you and I together?"

"Nature."

Hongyun also smiled and bowed his head, and then opened his mouth mysteriously:

"Speaking of which, I got inside information that this time is extraordinary, Daozu and his old man want to appoint nine [rulers] to take turns to guard heaven and earth, maintain the prosperous world, and reward and punish"

"Is that true?" Yang Mei was obviously surprised, and said in surprise: "Is the source accurate?" ”

"That's for sure!"

Red Cloud clapped his chest with a bang:

"I got the news from Zhen Yuanzi Daoyou, you know, Zhen Yuanzi Daoyou He is an eternal survivor from the last era, what his old man said, can it be fake? And"

After a pause, Red Cloud continued:

"I also heard that the nine [Rulers] who were selected will be accepted as apprentices by Dao Ancestor by making an exception!"

Yang Mei swallowed his saliva, a disciple of the Dao Ancestor

He was visibly moved, but then frustrated again:

"I guess, I'm afraid I won't have a relationship with us, and the quota should be for those [Eternal Survivors] in the previous era, hey"

The two innate gods and demons sighed, exchanged greetings for a while, and then walked side by side in the direction of [Zixiao Palace].

When he walked into Zixiao Palace, Yang Mei looked up, and really saw the nine-sided futon at the front, and the futon was filled with mysterious and mysterious brilliance.

Just staring, it seems to have a great understanding, and many doubts in the past are suddenly clear!

Yang Mei couldn't help but swallow his saliva, but he didn't dare to compete for a seat, and pulled Hongyun to stand honestly and wait quietly.

With the passage of time, one after another hearers came, most of them were the legendary [Immortals], who had survived since the last era.

A small part are innate gods and demons born in this era, and some are judged to be meritorious and virtuous beings.

"That's Kunpeng Daoyou, it is said that he was familiar with Dao Ancestor in the last era!"

"That's a fellow Daoist of Xudu, who is said to have ruled over all the souls in the last era!"

"That's it."

Hongyun looked at the big people who came one by one, and couldn't help but marvel, and a look of envy appeared in his eyes, if only he was born in the last era.

The number of creatures in Zixiao Palace gradually increased, and when it reached three thousand, the gate was suddenly closed.

At the same time, at the top of the Dao Palace, the white-haired [Hongjun Dao Ancestor] emerged, sitting there so calmly, occupying all the sight of all living beings!

Hongjun Dao Ancestor stared at the three thousand sentient beings and said with a smile:

"Today's road, the old people, and the meritorious and virtuous."

"The path of cultivation begins with refining qi and transforming qi, going through refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning to emptiness, practicing the way of combining voids, and then to the golden immortal fruit position, Taiyi fruit position, Daluo fruit position, and finally to the Taoist fruit heavenly saint and end, step by step."

Dao Ancestor's tongue bloomed lotus, in a word, the sky fell, the ground surged golden lotus, a wonderful Tao was finished, and his words changed:

"I would like to add nine seats to the [Executive], which I personally appoint, among the [Executives], those who are not included in the [Avenue Committee] can be listed as alternative members of the [Avenue Committee], and the relevant regulations on [Executives] can be consulted by myself later"

Many creatures in the Dao Palace widened their eyes, the Great Dao Committee, in addition to the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, there were a total of three permanent members,

It is the [Taiqing Daode Great Heavenly Venerable], the [Yuqing Yuan Shi Great Heavenly Venerable] and the [Shangqing Lingbao Great Heavenly Venerable]!

But now, is there a new member to the Avenue Committee?

The three permanent members may become the fourth permanent ones, the fifth permanent ones, or even more?

In the astonishment of all living beings,

Hongjun Daozu lightly pointed at the futon:

"Bodhi, you can take any seat."

Bodhi, who was holding the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, raised his head in surprise, bowed respectfully, and sat down on the futon cautiously.

"Amitabha, you can be the second seat."

Amitabha also bowed and bowed, respectfully.

"Houtu."

"Haotian."

"Kong Xuan."

"Wa."

"Tejoon."

"Xihe."

One creature after another was designated, and each member had distinct characteristics, being an [Eternal Being] from the previous era, and also a [Dao Fruit Heavenly Sage]!

Many creatures sighed, thinking they were out of the last seat

"Yang Mei, you can be the ninth seat."

Yang Mei raised his head in surprise, and immediately understood, the nine seats did not seem to be determined according to the Dao Ancestor's relatives, and the members of the nine seats were all [Dao Fruit Heavenly Saints]!

When all nine seats are full,

Hongjun Daozu waved his palm at this time, and a gray stone emerged, which was filled with a vast treasure light, illuminating everything!

He smiled and said:

"In view of the particularity of the position of the [Ruler], it is necessary to monitor the beings of heaven and earth, maintain the existence of the [Hongjun World] and the [Datong World], and give each seat a great treasure, if the [Ruler] is immoral, the treasure should be recovered."

While talking,

The gray boulder swelled and turned into a boulder, and the rock split in turn, and pieces of treasure were peeled out of it.

Qingping Sword, Open Heaven Flag, Taiji Diagram, Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, Three Treasures and Jade Ruyi, Zhuxian Four Swords.

The nine great treasures were given to each other, and Hongjun Dao Ancestor was satisfied, and nodded sideways to the [Taishang Heavenly Dou Dao Jun] Chongshan Tiger, who understood it, stood up, and cleared his throat.

Immediately, Chongshan Tiger loudly announced:

"The creatures of the eight realms, one realm and one day, are very different from each other, and the weak realm is like ants, after the study of the [Great Dao Committee], it was decided to promulgate the [New Version of the Regulations on the Management of Cultivating Beings] to ensure the order of heaven and earth, and the regulations will be implemented immediately after promulgation, and they must not be violated."

As he spoke, he looked around with a solemn expression and continued:

"After the study and decision of the [Great Dao Committee], 364 policies have been added, such as [Criteria for the Distinction between Wise Beings and Wild Creatures], [Temporary Administrative Measures for Prefectures], [Policies on Marriage between Sea and Land Creatures], and [Regulations on the Control of Dangerous Magic Weapons], which you can refer to by yourself after the sermon."

"And, according to the discussion of the [Great Dao Committee], after the vote of the [Representatives of the Vast Beings of Heaven and Earth], 4,789 reward regulations and 62 punishment regulations have been added to the [Heavenly Dao Reward and Punishment Criteria]."

"Moreover, after the joint deliberation of the [Great Avenue Committee], the proposal of 'deleting the basic concepts such as [evil], [anger], [hate], and [anger] put forward by the [All-Heaven and Earth Soul Representative Conference] was rejected, and the seven emotions and six desires cannot be deprived, and the basic concepts cannot be deleted or changed at will."

"Attached, after the proposal of the [Great Dao Committee] member Shangqing Lingbao Datianzun, in view of the importance of history, the uniqueness of the years, and the sacredness of the timeline, the [Time Shuttle Management Regulations] will be temporarily drafted, and the time shuttle of Da Luo and Dao Fruit will be limited to a certain extent."

One after another new policies and regulations were promulgated, and three thousand guests listened.

Hongjun Daozu said with a smile:

"This sermon, at last, at this time, everyone, go, go."

The new [Ruler] on the nine-sided big futon got up, Bodhi saluted, Amitabha bowed his head, and the Buddha Mother bowed her head.

All living beings shouted in unison:

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Dao Ancestor is above!"

………………

Soon after Zixiao Palace's sermon ended.

"Xiao Xuan, when are you leaving?"

In an ordinary town located in the northernmost part of the Great World, the old Taoist priest yawned and asked curiously.

Lu Xuan combed Xiao Yan's hair with a smile and said:

"It's not in a hurry, in fact, it doesn't matter if I go or not"

Taishang was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask again:

"What did you see in that transcendent door?"

Lu Xuan thought about it, and then said:

"Probably the past, the present, the future."

On the side, leaning on the recliner, Yuan Shi looked sideways with a pu fan:

"Past, present, future. What do you mean? ”

Lu Xuan smiled:

"It's [three bodies], three mes."

"What's the difference?"

"Yes."

Saying that, Lu Xuan pondered for a moment, and after sorting it out, he said:

"Now in my body, I am [self], that is, I in front of you, an ordinary young man, Xiao Yan's husband, Xiao Nian's father, that's all."

"The past body is [therefore me], and it is also the biggest obsession in my heart, it is Qingxuan, and it is also the current Hongjun, the current Taoist ancestor."

Taishang and Yuan Shi glanced at each other, and the former took a sip of herbal tea, and then asked:

"That future incarnation is your detached body?"

"Not really."

Lu Xuan smiled and said leisurely:

"The future body, that is, the original self, is the Dao Ancestor, but also Lu Xuan, or Qingxuan, Fuxi, Taiyi, and is also the first great era, the second great era, and the third great era"

Taishang and Yuan Shi were very confused when they heard it,

Yuan Shi sat up straight and put down the fan:

"After the detachment door, it is your three selves, and none of the three selves are detached, so what is the matter with detachment? What kind of realm is it? ”

"Detachment"

Lu Xuan muttered a few sentences and said with a smile:

"I can't tell."

Taishang and Yuan Shi looked at each other.

Can't tell?

saw Lu Xuan stretch his waist:

"The realm after the Dao Fruit is actually not transcendent, after the Dao Fruit, there are countless realms, endless realms, just like a big box with a small box,

Detachment, on the other hand, is not a realm, but more like a state. ”

Taishang frowned:

"For example?"

"Teacher, don't embarrass me, it's really like I can't come out, the main thing is that I said it, I narrated it, and you can't understand it, it's detached, it's wrong when you say it, it's wrong when you think about it, it's stupid under detached, you can't hear it, you can't understand it."

Taishang blew his beard and glared, Yuan Shi was furious, and he didn't have a good breath:

"You stinky boy, what's the matter, now that you're detached, your wings are stiff?"

Lu Xuan smiled bitterly:

"How could it be? It's just that I can't tell. The state of detachment is too mysterious, and I still don't dare to understand it, because I am afraid that it will never go back. ”

Hearing this, the two Daoists' expressions became condensed and pondered quietly.

After a long time, Taishang exhaled and smacked his lips:

"Well, let's not talk about detachment. What do you plan to do in the future? Has it been relying on great power to suppress and forcibly maintain the [World of Datong] and [The World of Hongjun]? ”

Lu Xuan frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"I have thought of many ways, either as I do now, to maintain order by force, to constantly check and fill in the gaps, or to simply delete the concepts of "evil", "inferiority", "injustice", etc., or simply formulate "good", "rites", and "harmony" as the basic rules of the era."

After a pause, he sighed:

"But no matter how you do it, it doesn't seem to be the optimal solution, I always feel that only detachment can truly realize the eternal [Hongjun World], but detachment is too mysterious, I'm afraid I can't find the way back"

Taishang and Yuan Shi were silent for a long time, and just as they were about to say something more, the gate of the courtyard was withdrawn, and Xiao Yan walked in with a basket of vegetables, and said casually:

"Zhang Jifeng and Wang Zhiyao will get married tomorrow, and the wedding will be held at the entrance of the town, will you go?"

Lu Xuan gathered his chaotic thoughts and said with a smile:

"Nature is going to go. What about the three masters? Why haven't you come back yet? ”

Xiao Yan stroked his forehead and sighed helplessly:

"The predecessors of the Shangqing Dynasty just played chess and lost, lifted the chessboard, and fought with the Bodhisattva seniors, the Heavenly Dao you created punished him, and he was sweeping the floor at the gate of the town, so he had to use no strength and sweep until the dust was clean."

Lu Xuan shook his head with a wry smile, got up slowly, and stretched:

"That's it, I'm going to prepare a gift for Wang Zhiyao and Zhang Jifeng, and in a few days, I plan to go to [Second Era] with Teacher Lu and Yang Jian to play around. Teacher, Second Master, are you going? ”

Taishang waved his hand, and Yuan Shi shook his head.

In the second age, they have been sitting there for countless years, and they have long been tired of it, and they are too lazy to go.

Since pushing open the door of detachment, Lu Xuan has been above the era, and since now the third era returns to the second era, and even goes to the first era, it is sparse and ordinary.

It's good to go once in a while and reminisce about the past.

helped Xiao Yan prepare the meal, beckoned the teacher and the second master to sit down, and went to the next door to call the mother who had turned into [Wa], and then beckoned the grizzled third master and Lu Nian back,

After a simple meal, Lu Xuan took Xiao Yan to wander around the town, visiting Zhang Butcher, Ji Bochang and other deceased, watching the sunset, and then returning to the courtyard to enjoy the coolness, pulling Yang Jian, Zhu Wuneng and others to chat, playing chess with Haotian and Amitabha, and blowing the refreshing evening breeze.

And so, another day.

Day after day, day after day, day after day, there is no disaster in the sky, there is no difficulty in the world, everything is in order, peaceful and peaceful.

This is the world of Hongjun.

I don't know how many years have passed like this, Ben Er Ba has become Da Luo, Zhu Wuneng is close to [Dao Fruit], and Lu Xuan is finally ready for [Detachment].

In fact, he has already detached, but he has never gone to the realm of [detachment] to take a look, and he is afraid that he will never return, but he has to go.

Before leaving, Lu Xuan had the courage to quietly call everything back, repeating the first sermon of Zixiao Palace, and completing what he had always wanted to do but didn't dare to do.

This time he preached, he did not choose the nine seats [the person in charge], but selected a few personal disciples, and laughed and included a certain three Taoists in the door

Later, Daozu was chased by three Taoists for nine days and nine nights, and Daozu's wailing also sounded for nine days and nine nights, and Sun Dasheng's dog-beating stick was broken and broken, until Daozu traced the change, and the three Taoists were angry.

This day, late at night.

Lu Xuan kissed Xiao Yan's forehead, covered the quilt for the sleeping girl, walked gently to the door, and pushed open the door again.

He walked in, based on the realm of transcendence, looking at the infinite world, winding upward, trying to find a way to create the true [Hongjun World].

I don't know how long it has been,

When Lu Xuan was tired, he finally broke through the infinite and infinite world layer, came to a zone that had never been reached and was incomprehensible, staring at a supreme ancient book, silent.

He was stunned, laughing, crying, suddenly, enlightened, sighing.

He stood in a place where he could not speak, could not describe, could not understand, could not imagine, could not think, and stood still.

"Is this detachment?"

Lu Xuan muttered to himself.

He thought for a long time, took the place of an infinite and majestic supreme, walked in front of the indescribable fundamental things, and said to himself again:

"In this way, we may be able to truly realize the world of Hongjun and the world of great harmony."

"Maybe it can really make the world clear."

Speaking of which,

He grabbed a piece of the instrument that was speechless, incomprehensible, unpredictable, and beyond the limits of thinking, and gently knocked it down, knocking down the next line.

"Later, the world of Hongjun will not fall, the world of Datong will not end, the sky is clear, the world is clear."

Later, the world of Hongjun did not fall, the world of Datong was endless, the sky was clear, and the world was clear.
