Chapter 18: "The Beginning of the Reign of the World, and the Gods Work Together to Create the World"
The demon clan collapsed, the heavenly court was opened, the Jade Emperor ascended the throne, and there were many affairs.
There was nothing to do on this day, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother chatted about some routine affairs, and the Queen Mother took out a few watery and pink peaches to the Jade Emperor and said: "This is a few peaches I picked from the immortal peach tree of Hongjun Ancestor of the Seventeenth Heaven of the Blue Sky, which can prolong life, you and I will taste the latest fresh peaches." ”
When the Jade Emperor saw it, he was very happy, this peach is a fairy fruit, it can be ripened for thousands of years, and it has the effect of immortality, only heard of it, but has never eaten it.
So he and the queen mother ate the peaches, and sure enough, they were fragrant, sweet and delicious.
After eating, a few peach pits were left, and the peach pits were also different from ordinary peach pits, with purple stripes on them.
The Jade Emperor sighed when he saw the peach pit: "This is really a good immortal peach, but we are in charge of the Heavenly Palace, and we can't often go to the Miluo Palace to taste it, the immortal peach is originally scarce, and it is not easy to share food with the immortals." ”
The Queen Mother said: "That's right, I see that there is a vacant land in the Heavenly Palace, why don't you plant this peach pit there and open up a peach orchard, what do you think?"
The Jade Emperor said, "This is a very good idea. ”
So the queen mother called a group of people to wait, put the peach pits carefully in the open space and planted, and arranged for special people to loosen the soil and water on time, and built a good garden, named Pan Tao Garden, the heavenly palace has just been newly established, and there is no one to take care of it for the time being, and I thought it was the land of heaven, and I didn't need to take care of it, so I only arranged the land, and called a few watering wrestlers to sprinkle water and weed.
Unexpectedly, this move caused a big mess in the Heavenly Palace, of course, this is a later story.
The peach took root, some people concentrated on taking care of it, and gradually flourished, and the queen mother went to Miluo Palace three times to take peaches and introduce seeds, and there were 3,600 plants planted successively.
The innermost 1,200 plants in the garden, it is the queen mother's earliest choice of the big high-quality purple striped walnut peach planted, nine thousand years of ripeness, people eat and heaven and earth with longevity, the sun and the moon with Geng. There are 1,200 plants in the middle, the layers of flowers are sweet, they are ripe for 6,000 years, and people eat Xiaju and soar, and they are immortal. There are 1,200 plants outside, the flowers and fruits are small, and they are ripe for three thousand years.
Heaven and earth have gradually lived in peace, and for many years, heaven, earth, man, and god have evolved through countless eons, the sky has not changed, the earth has changed, human beings have multiplied, and gradually increased, and the number of people is chaotic and disorderly, and it needs to be educated and governed.
Therefore, Daode Tianzun sent Fuxi to rule the world in the lower realm, and Fuxi was incarnated by the primordial god of heaven and was the emperor.
Correspondingly, Nuwa, who was incarnated by the earth god, was the emperor of the earth, who had created human beings and taught them the method of marriage and breeding.
Fu Xi and that day Zun learned the method of yin and yang gossip, down to the boundary, respected by human beings, first taught human beings to worship the gods, and taught human beings to hunt and catch birds, net fishing, human beings to be full, and then Fuxi passed on the method of captive beasts to human beings, since then human beings can have enough food, no longer bothered by hunger.
When Nuwa ruled the world, she further developed the method of marriage, distinguishing human beings by name, surname, and race, and human beings no longer intermarried, but evolved, and had rules for marriage.
During this period, Lao Jun also lit the Youchao clan to teach human beings to build dwellings, and the Suiren clan taught human beings how to make fire, so that human beings could live in peace and cook food.
Among the human race, there is also a Taoist Shennong, who saw the growth of plants on the earth, comprehended the method of planting and breeding, and tasted all kinds of herbs, practiced the art of healing, and passed it on to human beings, and since then human beings have settled down and no longer bothered about food and shelter.
Taishang Laojun gradually handed over the governance of the human race to the human race itself, and Shennong was instructed by Taishang Laojun to respect the human emperor.
Human beings have gradually begun to have more people who have learned and practiced the method, increasing the aura of heaven and earth, and becoming immortals. Nuwa lived in seclusion in Lishan and became the old mother of Lishan.
Later generations called this stage "the rule of the three emperors." ”
These three emperors were gods, and then there were five emperors Dinglun, and the five emperors were the saints among mortals.
Shennong, the leader of the human race, gradually became faint in his later years, and there was no spiritual rule in the world, because there was no invasion of the demons, the tribes of the human race began to fight and invade each other.
The human race of living beings created on the earth has been multiplied in large numbers, and their temperaments are also divided, including those who are cold and quarrelsome, those who can sense the warmth and coldness of others, those who introspect alone, and those who worship the heavens and worship the gods. Human nature, good at grouping, gradually migrating and concentrated.
In order to avoid large-scale group chaos or joint chaos of the human race like the original demon race, the Sanqing divided the world into four major continents, namely: "Dongsheng Shenzhou, West Niuhe Continent, South Ganbu Continent and North Julu Continent." ”
He also arranged for the four heavenly kings to take charge of the four continents of the earth realm.
Among them, the king of the eastern kingdom is compassionate, protects the land, gathers sentient beings with happiness, and is responsible for guarding the Dongsheng Divine Continent. The Southern Growth Heavenly King can make all living beings grow good roots, and is responsible for guarding the Southern Zhanbu Continent. The wide-eyed king of the West, the eye of heaven observes the world at any time, protects the people, is the leader of the dragons, and is responsible for guarding the West Niu Hezhou. The Northern Knowledgeable Heavenly King: Knowledgeable, famous for his fortune, protecting wealth, and responsible for guarding Beiju Luzhou.
The tribe of the Yellow Emperor of Nanzhan Buzhou was good at fighting, and won the battle with the tribe of Yandi, a descendant of Shennong, and then Yan and Huang merged into one, and the people were in all directions.
Later, there was Chi You rebellion, the Yellow Emperor and Chi You fought in Zhuolu, and finally the Yellow Emperor won, killed Chi You, the world was peaceful, and gradually unified.
Together with the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, there are five emperors who rule the world and live in peace according to the law of the Emperor of Heaven.
The five emperors are: Yellow Emperor, Yan Emperor, Zhuan Emperor, Yao Emperor, and Shun Emperor.
The Yellow Emperor's name is Xuanyuan, born at the end of Shennong, and later has the grandson of the Yellow Emperor. He is good at scheming and knowing things, leading all living beings to sacrifice and live in peace, and is honored as the Holy Emperor.
Followed by Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun, the period of the two emperors, the water on the ground was harmful, and the two emperors arranged people to control the water, although they were not pacified, but they also had merits.
In the end, Dayu sought the Dinghaishen needle from Laojun to completely quell the flood.
During the period of the Five Emperors, human beings gradually had an ethical outline, and the upper and lower levels were respected and humbled, and a complete system of inheritance of emperors and generals was gradually established in imitation of the Heavenly Court, which was the foundation of the Five Emperors.
Other continents also have their own Holy Emperors born, stable and peaceful.
At this time, there is nothing else to do in the heavenly court on weekdays, every day is nothing more than the court deliberations, after the completion of each place, the whole day is rigorous, most of the occasions are not smiling, the official business, the immortal god is also a spirit, over time it is inevitable to be lonely, bored.
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother also saw this, and saw the joy of singing, dancing and sacrificing in the world, so they considered arranging some entertainment as a spice.
The Queen Mother is the lord of fairies, and she is responsible for this matter. There are many immortals in the sky, and there are also entourage fairies, the queen mother looks at the surrounding female dependents, how can they all be some service personnel, there are no full-time singing and dancing candidates, and most of the existing female dependents in the heavenly court are not proficient in singing, dancing and music, it seems that they have to choose some candidates for this purpose, so that the matter will be spread out, so that if the immortal class encounters such good talents, they will all come to recommend, and there will be rewards.
