Chapter 459: Three Holy Puja
After destroying the Pharaoh Dao and occupying the Jiugao Guanmagpie's Nest, in addition to changing its appearance, he also drove the servant to build a majestic palace in the inner courtyard.
Jin Yanzi led Ming and Yan through the corner gate of the courtyard wall, and through the deep twilight, they could vaguely see the towering towering platform several miles away.
The road is overgrown with weeds, and there are piles of wood and stone everywhere. After years of operation, most of the main palace view was completed, crossing a flat stone bridge, followed by a grand square, the ground was paved with neat bluestone slabs, and it extended to the high majestic steps.
On both sides of the square stand a thousand strange stone beasts, all of which are fierce birds, ready to fight. Walking in the meantime, you will unconsciously give birth to a trembling meaning.
The three of them walked slowly up the stone steps on the right, and at the end of it was a majestic and vast building, and the vermilion gates were neatly closed, row upon row, always five hundred paces away.
Taoism has a school of numbers, and likes to give numbers a symbolic meaning to show the majesty of the superior. The buildings have strict dimensions, and they are not allowed to be sloppy at all, supplemented by the theory of feng shui, as if they are gods.
Ming Qin raised his head and saw that there was a plaque hanging on the gatehouse, with several gilded characters on the Three Holy Temples. Jin Yanzi's expression was serious, and the so-called 'dare not speak loudly, for fear of frightening the people in the sky'. Even though Ming Qin and Yan Qingwu had doubts, they had to swallow them back into their stomachs.
Jin Yanzi stretched out his hand to push open the main entrance, the hall was brightly lit, and the stone benches on both sides were full of people, all of them showing piety and silence.
The yellow curtain on the main seat hangs low, and there are three statues of gods, and the crown in the center is crowned, and the face is pale gold. Wearing an ochre yellow robe, it can be seen at a glance that it is an imperial dress. On the left is a Taoist with sparse hair and a purple and gold crown. The jade in his hand is dusty, and he looks like a fairy wind bone. On the right, there is a fairy wearing a bell, with powerful eyebrows and eyes, and a fierce atmosphere.
Ming Qin knew that this was the so-called Three Sages, but he didn't know who was worshiped by the Pharaoh Dao?
The temple was full of disciples who had destroyed the Pharaoh's Dao, all wearing dark blue robes, but the badges on their chests were quite different. Piece by piece is clearly distinguished. The Taoist in front of his head is covered with a white straight jacket, which shows that his status is slightly higher.
In contrast, the dress of the Golden Swallow is a little out of place. Ming Qin and Yan Qingwu had just arrived, and they didn't go to the Cangzi Department to report, and all the things that were used were not collected in time, which looked quite eye-catching.
The topography of the view is rising. At the top is the statue of the Three Holy Spirits. There is an apricot-yellow futon placed under the altar, which must be the location of the Pharaoh Dao.
The thirty-fifty-one group of disciples who entered the room were all led by the disciples of the personal lineage, waiting for the advent of the Pharaoh Dao.
The group of disciples in front of the head had three or five hundred people, and they sat down on both sides, needless to say, the people of the Cangzi department. The rest of the personal disciples did not dare to compete with him, and the number was smaller.
As soon as Jin Yanzi saw that the seats in the front row were full, he stopped coming forward and found a camp with a small number of people nearby. said indifferently: "Just sit here." ”
The personal disciple at the head was a middle-aged man who was not good-looking, and he hurriedly got up from his seat when he heard the words. Ji bowed, "Senior Sister Jin is the lord of the first hall, how can you deign to sit in my array, please come and sit here." ”
"It's okay, I'm just here to see the fun. Senior brother doesn't have to be polite. ”
It may be that the middle-aged man is too unvalued by the Pharaoh Dao, Jin Yanzi glanced at him, but he couldn't remember his name, and saw that his robe was embroidered with a white cheek, so he realized.
Bai Cheeks smiled and said, "Are these two also disciples in the sect? Why aren't they wearing Taoist uniforms?"
"They are disciples who have just entered the door, and the master asked me to come out to do things, and there will naturally be Taoist uniforms. ”
Jin Yanzi learned that the disciples were under the control of the Cangzi Department, and if he didn't want to compromise with them, he had to try to change this situation.
At this moment, the bell rang outside, and everyone was shocked, knowing that the puja was about to begin.
In the past, the Dharma was presided over by the Goshawk, and the ancestor of the Pharaoh usually showed up to burn a pillar of incense, worship the three saints, and occasionally preach a passage of the Taoist scriptures, and the specific affairs were announced by the Goshawk, although they were usually secretly instructed by the Pharaoh Dao.
This time the Dharma bell has been struck, the goshawk is not in the view, and the disciples know whether they know or not, so it stands to reason that his deputy Zhan Feizhi should come out to maintain the situation.
Although Ming Qin kicked Zhanfei a few times, it was just some flesh and skin pain, far from hurting his muscles and bones, and it was supposed that he should also come. The goshawk is not there, even if he wants to tell the Pharaoh Dao, he is not qualified to meet him.
The hour had passed, and there was no one to preside over the puja, and the disciples suddenly became restless, and they exchanged heads and talked about it.
There was a buzz in the main hall, and the solemn atmosphere was swept away, Ming Qin pulled the corners of Yan Qingwu's clothes, and said in a low voice: "I have only heard the Taoist family worship the three Qings, and I have never heard of the three saints. Do you know what is sacred about this offering?"
Yan Qingwu shook his head and said, "There are only thousands of gods in the immortal realm. There is no wooden master in front of the idol, I can guess where I can. ”
Jin Yanzi heard the two of them talking, and said: "Our Jiugao is from the Heavenly Bird Sect, the ancestor Lu Zhudao people, and the one on the left is the one who makes offerings." The main seat is the Emperor, the supreme god of the Yu clan. On the right is the Nine Heavens Xuannu, who was originally the god of war of the Yu clan. ”
Ming Qin suddenly realized, it turned out that the way of destroying the pharaoh followed the origin of the Heavenly Bird Sect and the Sanqing faction. The status of Emperor Jun and the Nine Heavens Xuannu is no less than that of the Three Qings, but it is a pity that Emperor Jun connived at the collusion of the Ten Golden Crows with the Dragon Clan and the Demon Clan in his later years to harm mankind. Although he once gave Dayi Tong Gong Su to support the country, it eventually led to a war between heaven and man, and his status was not guaranteed. Therefore, it is not worshiped by human beings.
The Nine Heavens Xuannu is a powerful female god of war in the era of the Emperor, and after the gods of Kunlun migrated to the heavenly realm, she guarded the Milky Way Heavenly Trench and blocked the ancestral dragon army. has made countless military exploits, won the trust of Emperor Jun, and gave the title Princess Yangxian. The original character of the immortal is written as 僊, which has the meaning of migration. Later, he wrote immortals, thinking that immortals were people hidden in the mountains, which was just the situation after the Taoist monks became popular.
In ancient times, there were only gods and no immortals, and after the ancestral dragon mixed one and four spirits, he led the crowd to attack the Kuncang Divine Court, and the gods were forced to wander to the heavenly realm, so they were called by the indigenous Yu tribe. When the dragon clan flourished and declined, Emperor Jun resumed his rule over the earth realm, but after thousands of years of mixed living, the god clan had become deeply rooted in the heavenly realm and was unwilling to return to the earth realm. Gods and immortals are confused. The word of God is revealed. It is inseparable from the worship and sacrifice of living beings, and when the gods migrate to the heavenly realm, the day is precarious. It is precarious, it is difficult to protect itself, and its authority has fallen greatly, although it still regards itself as a god, in the eyes of the indigenous Yu tribe, it is just a group of pitiful insects from outside.
The Nine Heavens Xuannu made great contributions to the protoss's foothold, and he helped Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor fight against Chi You, although Chi You was after the dragon clan's kiss. The Nine Heavens Xuannu regards the ancestral dragon as the great enemy of life, and does not allow the dragon clan to have a chance to resurrect, but after all, she has some incense with humans.
In later generations, there are many people who have been taught by Xuannu. There are notable Shang Tang and Song Gongming, so even after Di Jun disappeared, she still has a very high reputation in Heavenly Court. But the Jade Emperor was very inward-looking, and even his nephews Yang Zhu and Erlang God Yang Jian took precautions in every possible way. Not to mention this female god of war of the previous dynasty. Times have changed. The achievements of the Nine Heavens Xuannu are obviously known, and she has almost become a figure of unknown origin.
Although the world knows that she taught the Yellow Emperor and Song Gong Ming the art of war, but before that, she was the Nine Heavens Xuannu, how could such a prominent figure be born out of thin air, but she was unknown before?
Since ancient times, the name has not been fortunate, especially in the four spirits battle, the first years of Caolai, when the heroes were both civil and military. Unlike later generations, which focused on literature and ink, they can rely on nepotism to seek progress. The primeval gods rule over all nations, although there is a relationship between the Pangu bloodline and the Taiyuan command, but it will take some wisdom and opportunity to truly inherit and be deeply expected.
The god of heaven punishes the sky, the mountain god praises the father, the fire god Zhurong, the thunder god Kuilong, and the emperor of the heavens, almost all of them have verified the mantra that is just very easy to break, Taiqing Laozi has become the ancestor of the Tao of the world by virtue of weakness and humility, and the Queen Mother of the West has been the mother of the world, even though it has been criticized, it has finally maintained the rule of the gods and the situation of peace in the three realms, which cannot be taken lightly.
And the Nine Heavens Xuannu does not have a prominent background, according to legend, she is just a commoner of the Yu clan, and because of fate, she has become a pivotal figure in the struggle between heaven and earth, this experience is enough to be passed on. Perhaps it is because of this that she can be impartial in the factional struggle in Heavenly Court and stay out of the matter, so that the immortals who took the opportunity to suppress her will not be able to grasp the handle.
............
Ming Qin looked at the three statues of gods on the altar, and secretly thought that the Pharaoh Ancestor was so ingenious, and he didn't know if it was to be different, or if there was any special intention. Among the three saints, except for the Nine Heavens Xuannu, who also lives in seclusion in the Tianhe Realm, the Heavenly Emperor Jun has disappeared for thousands of years, and no one knows his whereabouts after the Lu Zhuan Dao people became gods after the war. Worshipping them doesn't seem to have any visible signs.
All the disciples couldn't wait for the goshawk to come forward, and gradually showed impatience, a huge black-faced Taoist priest stood up and asked loudly: "Where has the senior brother gone, is there a person in charge of your Cangtian Department?"
The blue-clothed Taoist priest sitting at the head of the formation felt slightly embarrassed, got up and arched his hand: "Senior Brother Gray Harrier, don't be impatient, I have already sent someone to find Senior Brother Zhanfei." ”
"Zhanfei, what's the use of him coming? We want to see Senior Brother. ”
The gray harrier is usually diligent in cultivation, and he has long been unconvinced by the goshawk, but the Cangtian Ministry has a very strict control over the affairs in the view, destroying the Pharaoh and letting it go, and he himself is lonely and does not dare to act rashly. Recently, I heard the rumors that the goshawks were ordered to go out to do errands, but only the golden swallow returned, and the Pharaoh Dao ordered her to take over the crow's position. I'm afraid that these three people are already very lucky, and the gray harrier is full of thoughts, so he wants to use the Fa meeting to make trouble and chase the goshawk from power.
The blue-clothed Taoist snorted coldly, and said slowly: "Senior Brother Zhanfei is the right-hand man of Senior Brother, Senior Brother is not here, of course Senior Brother Zhanfei is presiding over the Fa meeting, this is a logical thing, could it be that Senior Brother Gray Harrier has any objections?"
"I ......"
The gray harrier was speechless for a while, and saw that the eyes of the disciples glanced over one after another, looking like he was watching a good show, for fear of becoming the target of the public, and said stupidly: "Zhanfei is really a busy person, and even presiding over the Fa can be delayed, and the shelf is inevitably too big." ”
"So that all the senior brothers may know. I've already sent someone to urge Senior Brother Zhan. In the past few days, the senior brother has been ordered by his master to go out on errands. The affairs of the Heavenly Ministry are inevitably complicated. I hope the senior brothers will be considerate. ”
When Goshawk was there, he commanded several disciples and used it to frustrate. There is a lot of resentment in the hearts of all the people, and they will pour out their anger at the first opportunity, and the sky will fall to the dust. The blue-clothed Taoist priest knew these inside information, so he softened his attitude and persuaded with good words. Wait until the goshawk comes back to think about disposing of it before it's too late.
The disciples couldn't figure out the attitude of the Pharaoh Ancestor, and they didn't collude in advance, so no one wanted to take the lead. When he was at a loss, he suddenly heard a heavy object hit the door, and there was a loud bang, and Zhanfei staggered in, panting and looking back from time to time, looking panicked.
"Senior Brother Zhanfei, you're here. ”
The blue-clothed Taoist priest looked happy, strode up and grabbed Zhanfei's arm, and said strangely, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"
"I ...... I ......" Zhanfei's teeth chattered, his face turned blue, and he said in a half-hour period: "Yes...... There are youkai ......"
"What?" The blue-clothed Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, the means of destroying the Pharaoh Ancestor reached the sky, and the disciples of Jiugaoguan exceeded 10,000, and there were no eye-opening monsters who dared to go wild here.
"What about the ancestor? Is the ancestor there? There are monsters, and the three watches and the double guards have been eaten by the monsters, which scared me to death. ”
Zhan Fei calmed down a little, his eyes wandered and he couldn't see the shadow of the Pharaoh Ancestor, he couldn't help but shudder, and his mind seemed to recall something terrifying and abnormal.
"Is this Zhanfei an evil spirit, full of nonsense. What kind of goods are around the senior brother, let's watch Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and say slowly that the demon does not dare to come to Tai Sui's head to do something, even if there is really a demon to discipline him, he will not come back, and he will end up with a carnivorous bed. ”
Seeing that Zhan Fei's soul was not reluctant, the gray harrier couldn't help but be happy, he practiced hard to overpower the goshawk and raised his eyebrows, wishing that some demons would crash in and try his skills.
"Stupid, where is Gu Changhong hiding, let him get out and die. ”
A gloomy and sympathetic voice sounded without warning, and everyone looked around in astonishment when they heard the sound, and several disciples of the personal lineage left their seats one after another, gathering their true qi and waiting for them.
The gray harrier snorted fiercely, fearlessly, and scolded: "Who are you a demon, you dare to call my ancestor by his name, don't hide your head and show your tail, come out and see the true chapter with the Taoist master." ”
"It's up to you...... Haha......" The voice chuckled under its breath, full of contempt and disdain.
"Shut up. ”
The gray harrier shouted, and suddenly heard the sound of whining and ghost crying outside the door, everyone strode to the door, opened the vermilion doors and windows, only to see that the night had completely darkened, the wind was miserable, the stars and the moon were lightless, and there was no trace of the far square, and the shadows gradually appeared beating black shadows, phosphorescent floating, and a bright red ghost flag was erected in the distance, and strange talismans were painted on it, and the dark ghost shadow lingered around the ghost flag like a fallen leaf.
A gust of cold wind whistled into the main hall, and everyone suddenly felt cold all over their bodies and unsteady on their feet. As soon as the ear heard the noise, a glass lamp fell down and smashed it, and half of the hall was suddenly dark. (To be continued.) )
