Chapter 121: Preaching to the World
The Huiji Inner History Mansion was brightly lit, and the entire mansion welcomed Zhou Cheng's arrival with the highest specifications.
In the backyard of the Inner History Mansion, Wang Xizhi's seven sons and only daughter Wang Mengjiang were all standing in the courtyard, and there were only three people in the study: Zhou Cheng and Wang Xizhi, Xi Xuan and his wife.
"Tomorrow, the younger generations will contact friends in the DPRK and China again to jointly write a letter, asking for a real person to be the national teacher. Wang Xizhi knew that Zhou Cheng came to Jiankang for the position of national teacher, so he naturally spared no effort to promote this matter.
Wang Xizhi is the most loyal Taoist believer, which can be said to be known to the world, but why he believes in Taoism since his generation is rarely known.
Originally, Wang Xizhi's name was Wang Xi, which was also in line with the characteristics of the name of Langya Wang in the Wei and Jin dynasties, but since Wang Xizhi was rescued by Zhou Cheng, he added a word after his name, and even his seven sons have a word after their names.
When Wang Xizhi practiced writing, he also used words to write, and he even deduced the changes of words to as many as twenty-one.
This is not without reason, all because this word is a symbol of Taoism, just like the words "interpretation" and "wisdom" in Buddhism.
"Don't bother, I think someone will take the initiative to write soon, and I think that in a few days, the Queen Mother will officially summon Poor Dao. Zhou Cheng shook his head and said with a smile.
"The real person is talking about the great general? Although the prestige of the general is high, but the major families in the DPRK and China are mostly not on good terms with the general, I am afraid that the general will be alone after all!" Wang Xizhi thought that Zhou Cheng was talking about Huan Wen, there were many families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and there were many factions in the DPRK and China, although Huan Wen held the army, he would still be suppressed a lot in the court.
"One of the purposes of the Lanting Cultural Association is this. That cup of life-extending spirit wine, it's not just about prolonging life, you and you have also drunk the spirit wine, haven't you noticed it now?" Zhou Cheng still said with a smile on his face.
Wang Xizhi and Xi Xuan were shocked in their hearts, the two subconsciously glanced at each other, and the first thought was that the spirit wine of the Lanting Wenhui was the poisonous wine that Zhou Cheng used to control the talented courtiers in the world.
However, when the two saw each other's appearance, this idea was immediately denied, not only because Wang Xizhi didn't believe that Zhou Cheng would do such a thing, but also because she saw the obvious changes in Xi Xuan's body.
Xi Xuan is about the same age as Wang Xizhi, and he is nearly forty years old, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were originally more obvious, but now Xi Xuan can't see a trace of wrinkles on his face, and the whole person looks radiant, and he has returned to the way he was ten years ago.
"Husband, your white hair is gone!" Xi Xuan also looked at Wang Xizhi in disbelief, originally Wang Xizhi's temples had grown a lot of white hair, but at this moment, all those white hairs turned black, and there was no longer a trace of gray hair.
On the official road from Huiji back to Jiankang, there was also a carriage moving forward at night.
There were two people sitting in the carriage, an old man with a white beard, and a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance.
These two people are Wang Shu and Wang Tan father and son of the Taiyuan Wang family, Wang Shu is currently the assassin of Yangzhou, and is now the speaker of the Taiyuan Wang family. Wang Tan didn't have any prominent official position, only received an idle official who rode freely, but Wang Tan was famous, and in the eyes of the world, he would sooner or later be the person who would be the chief assistant.
"Father, do you want to stop and rest for a while, we have been walking for several hours. Wang Tan asked his father, Wang Shu.
Wang Shu's age, these few hours of carriage hurrying, Wang Tan was really worried that his father's body could not stand it.
"It's okay, I will be able to go home in less than an hour, and I can stand it for my father. Wang Shu's eyes were slightly closed, they were all the last people who drank the spirit wine before they came out, Wang Shu was also curious in his heart, when he came, he stopped and stopped, and he stopped several times on the road before arriving at the Lan Pavilion, but when he returned, he didn't feel tired at all.
"That Yuntai real person said that spiritual wine can prolong life, I think it's not that simple!" Wang Shu spoke again after a while, this time he lifted his beard under his chin with one hand, lifted the curtain on the car window, and looked at it through the moonlight.
When my father said this, the child felt a little unusual, and I felt as if my body was stronger, as if I had gone back to a few years ago, back to when I was at my youngest. Wang Tan also had doubts in his heart, he had been tired for a few days, but since he drank that glass of spiritual wine, his fatigue was swept away, and he felt more and more physically and mentally.
"You'll see when you come here. Wang Shu's voice sounded again, and the moonlight shone through the car window, just shining on his face.
Wang Tan subconsciously leaned forward, and he was shocked at this look, because he saw that most of his father's completely snow-white beard had turned into black beards.
The white beard is black, and Wang Shu, who is already about to die, is dead in spring, and there is a sign of rejuvenation.
A similar scene is happening everywhere at this moment, in the bodies of those who drink the spirit wine.
After the end of the Lanting Literary Meeting, from the second day, a letter with a different signature but extremely similar content appeared in the Jiankang Palace one after another, and its content turned out to be a letter asking Liyuntai to be the national teacher.
The Queen Mother Chu Garlic has not appeared for a long time, and the emperor is young, Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, has been anxious in the past few days.
Three days after the end of the Lanting Cultural Conference, Zhou Cheng took Wang Xizhi and set up a retreat to Jiankang.
Almost when Zhou Cheng left Shanyin, the Empress Dowager Chu Lianzi finally walked out of the dormitory, and the first thing she did was to directly suggest that Yuntai Zhenren be canonized as a national teacher as the Empress Dowager.
Chu Garliczi's decree shocked the government and the opposition, and since then, the canonization of Zhou Cheng as a national teacher has become inevitable.
A high platform was built in the Jiankang Imperial Palace, and the whole Eastern Jin Dynasty court, up to the Empress Dowager Emperor, down to the civil and military officials were dressed up to attend.
And on the high platform, Zhou Cheng was still wearing the seemingly ordinary, but extremely elaborate white robe.
The whole canonization process is no different from that of the Han Kingdom a few decades ago, and Zhou Cheng officially became the national teacher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty after accepting the Yinxin Magic Sword.
The position of the national teacher can admonish the king and behead the traitorous ministers.
When Zhou Cheng was in the Jiankang Palace, holding the golden seal in one hand and the magic sword in the other, he directly manifested a huge Yuan Shen, and the Yuan Shen had a canopy on his head, as high as thousands of zhang.
The body of the primordial god towered into the clouds, and half of the people in the world saw Zhou Cheng's huge primordial god across the heavens and the earth.
And this time, Zhou Cheng was not just to show the Yuan Shen, but with the power of the Yuan God, he told a news that shocked the world, and the voice spread all over the world, and the people of the entire Middle Earth Shenzhou heard it clearly.
Zhou Cheng's meaning can be summed up in four words: "preaching the world".
A huge plan was announced by Zhou Cheng as a national teacher, first of all, those who drank the spiritual wine in the Lanting Wenhui would be granted the qualification to participate in the "Yuntai Tao Sutra", and then these people would work together to compile a new volume of the Tao Sutra.
And this new Taoist scripture will be for all the people in the world.
That is to say, after the completion of the Tao Sutra, no matter whether rich or poor, regardless of status, every Han Chinese can learn and practice the Tao Sutra.
At that time, it will be an era of national cultivation, everyone can have extraordinary powers, and everyone will have the opportunity to peek into immortality!
In this way, everyone in the world is a disciple of Yuntai, and everyone has become the disciples and grandchildren of the master, I am afraid that it will not be long before there will be no emperor in the world, and some are just our masters. In the Zhou Mansion, Su Ruolan looked at the huge figure between heaven and earth, revealing a look of expectation.
When Zhou Cheng said that he was preaching to the world, Su Ruolan already knew what Zhou Cheng was planning in his heart, this was really a big plan for the past and the present, a plan that would change the pattern of heaven and earth and even the future of mankind.
Not only did Su Ruolan understand Zhou Cheng's true intentions, but most people in the court thought of this, but the temptation of cultivating immortals made these people know the consequences of Zhou Cheng's preaching to the world, but no one came out to stop them.
The effect of spirit wine to prolong life and rejuvenate has made these people crazy, and the temptation of eternal life in the legend is even more inextricable.
Chu Lianzi looked up at Zhou Cheng's body, she naturally thought of the consequences that Zhou Cheng would bring if she did this, it is conceivable that soon after, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will become disciples of Yuntai, and all the people will become disciples of the national teacher, and the royal status of the Sima clan will completely exist in name only.
As the daughter-in-law of the Sima clan and the empress dowager of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Chu Garlic at this moment should stand up against it, and stop all this with the idea of loyalty to the monarch that has not been completely diluted when Zhou Cheng has not yet succeeded.
But Chu Garlic didn't do this, she just sighed slightly, because in the past few days, Chu Garlic has successfully created an armillary sphere, and she knows that there is a wider world, and even in front of the real heaven and earth, the so-called worldly wealth, the identity of the Queen Mother, and the glory of the royal family have become worthless.
Just when the world was shocked and boiling, there was a sudden surge in the sky, and purple thunder swirls filled the sky, as if the sky would collapse in an instant.
Zhou Cheng's Yuan Shen shook the clouds, and under his gaze, the purple thunder vortex continued to condense, and countless Heavenly Providence Robbery Knives began to appear, this time not one, but countless.
Every Providence Robbery Knife can shatter the heavens and the earth, and if all these Providence Robbery Knives are cut down, this world is estimated to cease to exist.
"I preached to the world, and I really touched your pseudo-providence. How can it be the true providence of the common people who regard all things as dogs? Zhou Cheng's Yuan Shen eyes had countless Dao rhymes circulating, although there was no Lingqi, but with his huge divine thoughts, coupled with the fact that he had been extremely familiar with the use of Dao Yun over the years, he could still simulate the Dao Rhyme Rune.
Countless Heavenly Providence Robbery Knife condensed, and the beings who originally dreamed of cultivating and immortalizing were all frozen in place by the breath emitted by the Heavenly Providence Robbery Knife, and a feeling of Heavenly Providence was inviolable rose in everyone's hearts.
However, under the coercion of the Heavenly Providence Robbery Knife, in addition to the rising battle intent in Zhou Cheng's heart, there are still some existences above the Middle Earth Divine Prefecture that have not been affected by the Providence.
In the hinterland of Miao Jiang, under the valley of the forbidden land of the Five Immortal Sect, five huge spirit insects roared in the sky, and then five terrifying breaths rose to the sky, and that breath roared towards the Heavenly Providence Robbery Knife, and then transformed into a five-headed spirit worm in the sky.
This conjured spirit insect has no life and no body, it is just the most ancient and primitive thought, but it is such a five thoughts, and it is not afraid of the Heavenly Providence Robbery Knife, and it actually opens its mouth to bite the Robbery Knife, and with each bite, the Heavenly Providence Robbery Knife is partially devoured.
"Five Poison Sect?" Zhou Cheng's gaze fell in the direction of Miao Jiang, and the sudden appearance of the five-headed spirit worm surprised Zhou Cheng, but no matter how Zhou Cheng investigated, his divine thoughts could not break through the holy land of the Five Immortal Sect, and there was only an obscure existence in his perception.
Zhou Cheng has also heard of the name of the Five Poisons Sect, and he only knows the name of the Five Poisons Sect, but he doesn't know that this is actually a miscommunication, and even Zhou Cheng can't see through the existence, which means that the Five Poisons God Monarch is still above Zhou Cheng.
In addition to the Daomen and Buddhism, there is such a master, and Zhou Cheng became curious about the Five Poisons Sect for the first time.
"Fighting against Heaven's Will, I want to see, what means have you had over the years?" The Five Poison Divine Monarch had a five-legged tripod suspended above his head, and the cold gaze under the mask looked at Zhou Cheng with interest.
In the mountain courtyard on the outskirts of Yecheng, after a few years of absence, Wang Meng returned here again.
It's just that he is the only one here now, and Wang Meng sits in front of the desk, on which is a piece of paper full of patterns.
The pattern on the paper looks very strange, like a map, with many small dots scattered on it, and Wang Meng has marked the names of places under the dots, and Wang Meng connects these small dots, which looks like an unusually large and mysterious formation.
If you are careful, you will find that these small dots are no more than 484, and those place names are exactly the place where the 484 temples in the north are located.
"Huh?" Wang Meng, who was originally engrossed in lowering his head, suddenly raised his head.
In his perception, the Providence Robbery Knife, which disgusted him so much that it was like fire and water, reappeared.
Wang Meng subconsciously clenched his fists, an unyielding will appeared in his body, and the breath of another soul occupied Wang Meng's body.
Under the Heavenly Providence Robbery Knife, when almost everyone was frozen, Wang Meng slowly stood up, and then countless chariots appeared in the void.
It's a kind of chariot that no one knows anymore, because it has disappeared into history because of the death of a man.
The chariot was unusually large, with a huge wheel wrapped in iron sheets, the nose of the locomotive was made of triangular shape, made of fine iron, and on either side of the locomotive there were two copper pipes from which flames could be spewed out, and the top of the carriage also had mechanisms to open, and after opening it was a huge repeater locomotive.
This chariot has created countless legends, but unfortunately only its name occasionally appears in some ancient books--- Wuhou chariot.
When the countless Heavenly Providence Robbery Swords on the Middle Earth Divine Prefecture condensed, in the depths of the endless chaos, on the golden mountain blocked by the golden Dao Yun chains, the fat monk who was one of Buddha and Demon suddenly opened his right eye, and the dark blood red in that eye represented the most terrifying demonic nature.
"Who is it? It actually triggered the providence I arranged, what happened to the destruction of the world?" The thoughts of this supreme demon surged wildly, and the endless divine thoughts seemed to want to break through the blockade and descend to the Middle-earth Divine Prefecture through the endless chaos to find out.
However, the more fierce the demonic thoughts, the tighter the golden rune chains that extended from the chaos, and even as the demonic thoughts grew, more chains extended out of the chaos and tied to the fat monk.
"That's enough!" Just as the Supreme Demon struggled against the rune chains, the fat monk's left eye suddenly opened, and with a low sigh, the Supreme Demon's thoughts slowly receded, and his left eye slowly became peaceful and peaceful, as if the Supreme Demon had completely disappeared.
With the disappearance of the Supreme Demon, most of those rune chains faded, and the chains bound to the fat Daoist man also retreated, not as tightly as before.
"Senior brother, I feel that the Heavenly Dao blockade is receding. The man who had been sitting on the Bodhi tree and had never spoken suddenly opened his eyes and said.
The fat monk lowered his head, as if he was perusing something and thinking about something.
After a long time, the fat monk's somewhat lonely voice sounded above the golden mountain: "Without the Heavenly Dao blockade, the great terror will come again!"
After a sentence of great terror, the fat monk and the man on the Bodhi tree did not speak again, and the supreme demon did not come out again.
The people on the Bodhi Tree know that in fact, the Supreme Demon is not terrible, although he really cannot be killed, but the fat monk has actually imprisoned the Supreme Demon with his body, and this demon sometimes has some small movements, but these are not worth mentioning compared to the real great horror!
