Chapter 477: Nine Old Immortal Capital
Penglai is the place that all immortals and all mortals, and even all other animal immortals yearn for, because this place leads to the Nine Heavens World, Penglai not only leads to the Nine Heavens World, but also leads to the Nine Shadows World, which is an important hub of the three worlds of heaven, earth and man, and it is not the same as the land of Kunlun.
The east of the Bohai Sea does not know hundreds of millions of miles, there is a big black water river, which is the weak water, the unfathomable gully, but the bottomless valley, the bottomless below, called Guiruin. The water of the eight strings and nine wilderness of heaven and earth, the flow of heaven and Han, all pay attention to it, so that the sea is neither high nor low, and there is no increase or decrease, so the sea has always been at a height.
Zhang Xuanchu was in mid-air, as fast as lightning, as fast as a meteor, passing through the weak water gully of Guiru, and wanted to go to Penglai Wonderland.
There are 30,000 miles around the height of Penglai Mountain, and there are 9,000 miles at the top of its flat place. There are 70,000 miles of idleness in the mountains. In the highest mountain, there is the Xianguan Palace on the platform, all of which are golden walls and jade bricks, there are the Nine Heavens True King Palace, the Nine Old Immortal Palace, the Taishang True Palace, the Biyou Immortal Palace, the Lingbao Tianzun Palace. The fairy birds and beasts on the fairy island are all pure, and there are countless of them. The fairy trees of the pearls are all clustered, and the gorgeous fruits all have a taste, and people are not old or die after eating. The people who live here are all the seeds of the immortal saints; mortals have not cultivated much here, and they have come here first through the land of the Emperor of Yingzhou Donghua, and then go to Kunlun, and then go to Penglai.
The land of Xiandao is a fairy town, there are Shengcao palace officials, Penglai returns to the ruins at the same time, Yongzhen is in the waves, there is a layer of strong enchantment and weak water outside, mortals can not come here, and it is difficult for the immortals who have achieved immortal cultivation to reach here, so the immortals cross the sea to come here, and they also need great magical powers.
The place on the fairy island platform is like the Yaotai of Kunlun, the heavenly heart of the shadow is like the cold Sendai, and with the warmth of Xianxiapu Ruixiang photons, in the tall fairy mountain of the giant que, the colorful light god tree is shining. The floating sea rises and falls, rippling above the barrier in all directions, and the black weak water is terrifying.
The small houses in the forest of the fairy island are faint at a glance, everywhere, the five-colored smoke and haze of the immortal dwelling slowly rise and fall, in the fairy fruit god tree with buds and jade, the drooping desire makes people want to enter the non-wrong, people have to eat the fairy fate, the nine stars and the moon arch in the sky, the golden turtle swallows the clouds and spits out the fog on the sea, and looks at the stars and the moon to collect natural fairy energy.
In the West Pond Longyue City in the land of Kunlun, the master Queen Mother often comes here to Penglai to worship the Nine Heavens True King, and blesses the three Fu Lu Shou Three Immortals for this immortal peach, and visits the Nine Old Immortals, for the Taishang Zhenren, and the Emperor of Yingzhou Donghua also often comes here to worship the Nine Heavens True King of the Immortals.
This immortal mountain is called Zizhi Mountain, there is Biyou Palace in the Zizhi Mountain Cliff, Lingbao Tianzun Palace also, the top of the mountain is the Nine Heavens True King Palace, the Fu Lu Shou three-star immortals are guarding it, the Nine Heavens True King is enshrined in the Nine Heavens True King Palace, the palace is surrounded by the nine old men of the fairy world, the Taishang Zhenren, are the disciples of the true king.
Zhang Xuanchu soon came to Biyou Palace, and saw many immortals here, but none of them knew Zhang Xuanchu, Zhang Xuanchu did not drive a dragon chariot, and hid the divine light on his body, just like an ordinary immortal, wandering among the immortals.
On the mountain above the Biyou Palace, there is a huge jujube tree, this tree is thousands of zhang, the jujube on it is as big as a pumpkin, everyone eats a jujube for a long time to finish, mortals eat a bite, immediately become an immortal flying, the immortal eats a bite, you can live for ten thousand years, eat one, never old and not dead (of course, in the absence of a battle), such a jujube tree is everywhere on the mountain, the immortals often take the jujube god tree that is struck by the sky and thunder to make a divine seal, the god is like a fairy treasure.
Open the world, but the heaven and the earth are colorless, there is no vitality, Fuxi Nuwa lives in it, there are mountains and rivers between heaven and earth, the sun, the moon and the stars in the morning, in it.
In this world, the mountains and rivers are successful but have no life, Nuwa is very bored, so she uses loess as an immortal. After the strength is not enough to supply, it is to lead the rope in the mud, and the immortal magic power is lifted to live people. There are five immortals and five insects between heaven and earth, and the immortals are also made of loess; Humans, ghosts, and demons, lead the rope for it. This is the beginning of the universe and the origin of all things.
The immortals are self-purifying, and the ghosts and demons who are alone are uneven, and they also want to become immortals, which is a catastrophe. The sun and the moon change, the stars change, the years have passed, and the people and ghosts in the world are very noisy and uneven.
He said: We are all created by Nuwa, why do the only immortals live in the heavens and are not born or die, while we have to suffer from reincarnation?
The immortal said: If there are virtuous people in the world, they can find Penglai, and those who have built the avenue can also become immortals. As soon as this statement came out, it caused an uproar in the world, and people, ghosts, and demons all worked hard to refine the Fa, hoping that one day they would attain the Great Dao. As the saying goes: there is a fairyland in the world, and the Tao is in Penglai. Yes also.
Among the many immortals, the most famous in this place is the nine old people, they live in the nine old immortals, the nine old immortals belong to the nine directions of the nine heavenly true palaces, the Taishang real people manage comprehensively, the nine old immortals are in charge of a palace, a total of nine palaces, and they are called the nine old immortals.
In the world, those who have been passed down through the ages are the Nine Old Immortal Divine Seals.
In later generations, the imperial seal used by the emperor is said to be made of "Heshi Wall", when the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown, this jade seal was taken by Emperor Yuan Shun to run to Monan, so Zhu Hongwu did not use this jade seal for 31 years as an emperor.
Yongle Emperor Zhu Di was originally the king of Yan who guarded Beiping, after he raised troops to seize the throne, he heard that the "He's wall" was cut into three sections, and the Zhenshan jade seal of Maoshan was also a part of the "He's wall".
So, he sent a gold medal, passed down a holy decree, and sent a capable official to Maoshan to announce that this Yingyu seal was sent into the palace for later use.
In the middle of the night of this day, the night Taoist priests of Maoshan Yuanfu Palace and Zhengxi Palace found that the Jiuxiao official of Damaofeng was shining red, and he was busy sounding the gong to call the police.
The Taoist priests of the two palaces got up and looked at the red light of the Nine Heavens Palace, how could they not be in a hurry? They all rushed up the mountain, but nothing happened on the mountain. After everyone returned to the palaces, they looked at Damao Peak, and it was still bright red like fire. It turned over and over again, making the Taoist priests excited, not knowing what was going to happen. As soon as dawn broke, the old man Qincha arrived at Maoshan with the gold medal and the holy decree. Who doesn't panic when the Holy Decree is given?
The Ming Dynasty court set up a "spirit official" in Maoshan, and he was also an official of the seventh and sixth grades. When you see the gold medal and the holy decree, how dare you slack off? Busy preparing incense cases, kneeling down to accept the decree. As soon as I heard that it was the Zhenshan jade seal of Maoshan Xuanjiao, although it was 10,000 reluctant, who dared to say half a "no" word? The main and deputy spiritual officials had no choice but to order the Taoist priest to take out the jade seal and hand it to the old man Qincha.
The jade seal of Maoshan was engraved and given by the emperor during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty to praise Liu Mingkang, the 25th generation grandmaster of Maoshan. "He's wall" was discovered by Bian He's clan of Chu during the Warring States Period, and was later owned by Zhao. King Qin Xiang once used fifteen cities to go to Zhao in exchange for this wall, so there is a beautiful talk of Lin Xiangru "returning to Zhao after finishing the wall". Qin Shi Huang annexed the Six Kingdoms and also captured this treasure.
In the twenty-sixth year of the first emperor, the selection of the world's good workers will cut this wall into three sections, the middle section is made into the seal of the Son of Heaven, its square four inches, the top is engraved with five dragons, and the eight seal characters engraved by Li Si on the printing surface are "ordered by the sky, rich and longevity Yongchang". The left section is made in the shape of a seal, and there are two shining points on its buttons, which are said to be the material of the Maoshan jade seal given by Huizong of the Song Dynasty. The right section also makes the seal shape, and its button is horizontally skimmed on the sunshine, which is said to be obtained by the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain.
Because the Taoism preached by Maoshan is "Shangqing Dadong Sutra", Maoshan Yuanfu Palace has built "Shangqing Altar", which is called "the three major Fu Seal Altars in the world" with the "Zhengyi Altar" of Jiangxi Longhu Mountain and the "Lingbao Altar" of Jiangxi Pavilion Soap Mountain.
Huizong of the Song Dynasty also asked Maoshan, Longhu, and Ge Soap to "three mountains and Dingzhi, and assist the emperor". Therefore, the Maoshan jade seal should really be called the "Zhentan Jade Seal". This is mentioned slightly, in order to understand the ins and outs of the Maoshan jade seal.
In the early morning of the next day, when Emperor Yongle was in the early dynasty, Qin sent into the palace to reply to the decree, and the eunuch on duty took the jade seal and presented it.
Emperor Yongle looked at it, and it was indeed a jade seal made of a four-inch square flawless jade essence with faint rui qi and shining glow; Looking at the printing surface again, it is engraved with six seals of "Nine Old Immortals Jun Seal". I thought: As long as the original six characters are washed and removed, and then engraved with the six seal characters of "Treasure of Fengtian Carrier", isn't it the imperial seal of my Ming Dynasty?
With Wen Huayin's palm in the book, the scholar writes the seal;
Shang Bao Siqing is responsible for guarding and managing the jade seal;
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu selects the world's good workers to engrave the seal characters;
Qin Tianjian chooses auspicious days and good days, and builds on the day,
Under the holy decree, who dares to disobey?
Shang Bao Siqing held this jade seal in fear all day long.
The Chinese scholar fasted Mu Yuxun and drafted the seal characters on the printed surface.
Qin Tianjian Tianguan Yun Zhou Yi, pushing people hexagrams, precision of the sun and moon, detailed pinching of the zodiac, underworld.
It is said that the world's treasures have spirituality, because this Shun jade seal is "and the bi" engraving, so the Ministry of Industry does not dare to change the rust easily. But the holy oracle urged Yao, dare not do it and have to do it, so to Qintianjian chose an auspicious day, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu to the crown to the eyes, burn incense to say goodbye to heaven and earth, and in the Ministry of Industry hall on the display of two public cases, the public case on the Yin paving instrument embroidery, mattress to lead hibiscus, the lane respectfully to Shang Bao Division, to the jade seal after the ceremony, only to hold to the Ministry of Industry lobby on the mattress.
The jade craftsmen also worship the sky, the earth, and the jade seal in turn, and then burn the paper with incense, and pray silently. At this time, only the sound of the cloud board was heard, and the Qintian eunuch shouted: "The hour has come!" The Ministry of Industry is still in order.
