In the Taiping era, the Zuojiang River was rolling with water, wrapped in bamboo rafts all the way down east. There was an old Taoist standing on the bamboo rafts, looking at the mountain scenery on both sides of the river, I couldn't help but feel sad.
It was almost evening, the setting sun was shining slantingly, and the river was like fire. A farmer wearing a bamboo hat came out of the river. He floated down and looked at the old Taoist.
After a while, the old Taoist asked: "Does Fellow Daoist Zheng want to leave too?"
The old farmer sighed: "It's impossible if we don't leave, Taoist Master Xuanming."
Taoist Master Xuan Ming asked curiously: "Your name of Xuan Ming is a bit different, isn't it? Aren't you just checking Yu Jing and Xuan Ming? It's understandable for me to run away, Taoist Taoist, but it doesn't make sense for Taoist friend Zheng to also check, right?"
The old farmer's name was Zheng Xuanming. He was an ordinary Taoist in the Taiping era. He rarely fought with others and only made a living on spiritual plants. Unexpectedly, he was also affected by this incident. He smiled bitterly and said: "Yu Jing is the descendant of the Xuanyuan clan.
Sun, our Meng Qi, I don’t know whether it is to please the Xuanyuan family or because he is afraid that Yu Jing will cause trouble for him, but anyone with a homophonic sound or even a close sound has his name changed. If I haven’t entered the Hedao, that’s all.
Zheng Xuanming said: "If it is true that the Xuanyuan family is firmly established in the heaven, it would be enough to change its name. Change its name to Yujing... He is the Netherworld Lord, what does it have to do with me in peacetime? I have been using this name for hundreds of years.
I don’t want to change, so I have no choice but to leave.”
Taoist Master Xuanming said with emotion: "Yes, I just don't want to change it. He Yujing is not worthy of us changing his name! Is he a taboo for the venerable? Hehe, he is the World Honored One. Is he really worthy of our respect?"
Zheng Xuanming nodded heavily: "I won't welcome his unhealthy tendencies!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and their depressed mood suddenly became relieved. Zheng Xuanming asked: "Taoist Priest, when you enter the Spring and Autumn Period, your name and surname will not be verified according to the imperial edict. Is it true?"
Taoist priest Xuanming nodded: "Luan Xian entrusted someone to secretly pass the news to Pindao. Although the edict to thoroughly investigate the heavens was issued by the Spring and Autumn Scholars, it was because of helplessness and he did not agree with it in his heart, so in the Spring and Autumn Period
At Shitianmen, checking the talisman is just a formality. As long as you go in, no one will trouble you or me, no matter what you or I should call you, the talisman you hold will not be taken back."
"Luan Xian?" Zheng Xuanming was fascinated for a while: "I heard that he transferred his residence to the Spring and Autumn Period?"
Taoist priest Xuan Ming smiled and said: "Exactly, Luan Xian is so valued by the Spring and Autumn Scholars that he was granted the title of Lord of a Realm. He was also entrusted by the Spring and Autumn Scholars with the important task of leading the Thunder City Division. Can his news be false?"
Zheng Xuanming said: "That's good, that's good...but how should we get out of Tianmen?"
Taoist Master Xuanming smiled: "I have a clever plan."
The river flowed until late at night, and the front reached Dongyue. Looking up at the top of the mountain, a faint light flashed, which was the Tianmen of Taiping. However, Taoist Master Xuanming did not rush up the mountain. Instead, he found a shelter from the wind at the foot of the mountain and took out the wine bottle.
Drinking with Zheng Xuanming.
Zheng Xuanming was a little anxious: "What does the Taoist mean?"
Taoist priest Xuanming raised his glass and invited him: "No hurry, Taoist friend Zheng invites you."
Zheng Xuanming had no choice but to be patient and have a drink with Taoist Master Xuanming. At the end of Yinshi, when he saw that the sky was about to brighten, he said in great panic: "Taoist Master..."
Taoist Master Xuan Ming signaled him to be silent. As he listened attentively, he heard the sound of footsteps and saw a monk turning out from behind the forest, but it was Lianxu.
When Lianxu met Taoist Master Xuanming, he held his hands in greeting: "Taoist Master is here...this is..."
Taoist Master Xuanming introduced: "This is fellow Taoist Zheng, who is burdened by the same name, and is preparing to run away with me... This is Yu Jingzi, who accepts me and is like leaving the gate of heaven."
Needless to say, Zheng Xuanming knew that this person would definitely not want to change his name.
Yu Jingzi said: "My friend has been replaced. The two seniors will just follow the junior. Everything is as usual. The person sent by the heaven to supervise the situation is the ancestor Wu Xin of Wan Shen Lei Si. You two seniors should not talk to him too much."
The two of them followed Yu Jingzi to the top of the mountain and arrived at the Tianmen. As expected, they saw that the inspection was very strict. There was also an unfamiliar old man standing with his hands behind his back, staring at the gods and monks coming in and out one after another. He must be Wan Shen Lei.
Si’s Wuxin ancestor.
Taoist Master Xuanming looked as usual, trying not to look at the ancestor Wu Xin. He followed Yu Jingzi and handed the talisman to a Lianxu examiner for inspection.
In the second half of last year, although the Heavenly Court had not yet been formally established, the Twelve Righteous Gods had already issued edicts to Hedao and Lianxu in this life and Fu Bi's time. The official talisman edict was given to Hedao, while the edict was issued to Lianxu.
Tianmen's card has clear names and Taoist names written on it. It cannot be faked, and it is impossible to hide your name. Each world-honored one has a list in his hand. You can find out by checking it. You can't hide it, so Xuan Ming
The Taoist priest and Zheng Xuanming were about to leave the peaceful world.
He saw Lianxu, who was inspecting the talisman, raised his head and looked at Taoist Xuan Ming. Taoist Xuan Ming felt a sudden change in his heart. Although his expression was calm, his heart was twisted into a ball.
Lianxu looked at Yu Jingzi again, and Yu Jingzi nodded slightly in front of him. Then Lianxu returned the Fu Zhao to Taoist Xuanming and asked, "Where are you going, senior?"
Xuanming tried his best to remain calm: "Void."
Lianxu nodded: "Treasure hunting in the void?" He wrote on a piece of silk: February 15th, the fourth year of the prehistoric era...
After memorizing it for an hour, there was nothing left at the end. I looked at Zheng Xuanming behind Taoist Master Xuanming. It was the same process. This time I picked up the pen and then wrote in the empty space. Not a single stroke fell on the silk.
It wasn't until the monk who was behind Zheng Xuanming came up to check that he filled in his name, surname and whereabouts.
Ancestor Wanshen Leisi Wuxin has been supervising outside the Tianmen, his eyes circling back and forth between the two check-in checkpoints, and from time to time he glances at the queues queuing out of the Tianmen. When he encounters those entering the Tianmen, his eyes will stay for a while longer.
The atmosphere at Tianmen was quite tense.
After leaving the Tianmen of Taipingshi, Taoist priest Xuanming and Zheng Xuanming breathed a sigh of relief. Taoist priest Xuanming smiled bitterly at Zheng Xuanming: "I don't know when, but this poor Taoist would worry about a test for refining the void...
…”
Zheng Xuanming shook his head and said: "Times have changed..."
Yu Jingzi urged from the front: "Taoist Priest, Senior Zheng, let's go quickly. When we enter Nantianmen, we can only rely on Taoist Priest."
Taoist Master Xuanming stroked his beard and smiled: "This is easy. You two just follow the poor Taoist and enter the Nantianmen!"
In the fourth year of the prehistoric era, according to the statistics issued by the talisman edicts and cards issued last year, in the thirty-three days, there were tens of thousands of Taoist immortals and gods, and more than 90,000 high-level cultivators. In addition, there were also a large number of demons, gods and demon cultivators who were rarely born in the world.
Before entering it, the number of immortals, demons, and monks coming and going every day ranged from seven hundred to eight hundred to as many as thousands. The maximum number of people in one day was more than 1,600, so Nantianmen was very lively, and there were often
Waiting in line for inspection.
Today was no exception. The three of them had to wait for two sticks of incense before they could get in. After the heavenly general on duty checked the talisman and the certificate, they were waved to let them go. This time it was Yu Jingzi's turn to be confused: "Heavenly Court."
You just let it go? What’s the point?”
Taoist Master Xuanming smiled and said nothing, but Zheng Xuanming was very excited: "It's Taoist Fellow Xuanming. Fellow Taoist Xuanming is actually the divine general guarding the Nantianmen. I never expected it... Also, he was with Luan Xian at the beginning.
After transferring to the Spring and Autumn Period, since Luan Xian can be the divine general of the Thunder Department, it is not surprising that Taoist Brother Xuanming is on duty at the Nantianmen, haha... No, doesn't Taoist Brother Xuanming need to avoid the venerable taboo?"
Taoist priest Xuan Ming sighed: "In order to keep his position as the god general of the Nantian Gate, and to give Yu Jing a way out for Xuan Ming in the world, he has given up his small self and achieved his great self. His Taoist name is Tianming now."
Zheng Xuanming was inexplicably moved: "Fellow Taoist Xuanming... so magnificent!"
Yu Jingzi asked curiously: "Is that Senior Xuan Mingzi? This junior has only heard his name but never seen him, and today I finally met him."
After entering the Nantianmen, they took a brief look at the magnificent Heavenly Steps and the majestic Lingxiao Hall. The three of them did not dare to stop, and immediately rushed towards the row of Tianmen on the right side of the Heavenly Steps, directly entering the Spring and Autumn Period.
Entering the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Xuanming became more determined and successfully passed two levels in a row, hoping that nothing would go wrong in the third level.
Everything was as Taoist Master Xuan Ming said. After the monks on duty at the Spring and Autumn Period Examination and Registration read their talisman certificates, they showed no reaction to the names of Xuan Ming, Xuan Ming, Yu Jing, etc., and asked
After hearing that their purpose of coming to the Spring and Autumn Period was to travel, they hurriedly logged in and waved to let them go. However, the Leibu Immortal God sent by Heaven to supervise the name change had been sitting on a big tree in front of the door with his eyes half closed.
I didn't know if I was adjusting my breath or taking a nap, but everything went smoothly beyond imagination.
Xuan Ming smiled proudly: "I told you earlier, I won't care about it forever."
Zheng Xuanming looked at the surrounding fields from the top of Dongyue, and couldn't help but laugh: "Why do I feel that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the sky has become wider, the mountains have become higher, and there is a strong spiritual power everywhere, which is so refreshing.
Feeling like you are in high spirits without drinking alcohol? Haha..."
Xuan Ming and Yu Jingzi both laughed loudly.
After getting off Dongyue, Taoist Master Xuan Ming asked: "Friend Dao Zheng and little friend Yu Jing, what are your plans next?"
Zheng Xuanming hesitated and said: "Zheng left home in a hurry. He just wanted to escape from the peaceful world first... However, there was also a Taoist friend in the Spring and Autumn Period who had some friendship with Zheng. He used to live in another world..."
Xuan Ming immediately issued an invitation: "Why don't you, Daoist friend Zheng, follow me to Tianshu Cliff to live in seclusion? Tianshu Cliff is one of the nine worlds in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is also a place for spiritual practice."
Zheng Xuanming said happily: "It's the best, and it's even less likely to be noticed by heaven."
Xuan Ming added: "Moreover, the world master of Tianshu Cliff is Luan Xian."
Zheng Xuanming was even more excited: "Then go quickly, you can go to Luanxian's territory without any worries!"
Xuan Ming asked Yu Jingzi again: "Where are you going, little friend?"
Yu Jingzi said: "I have a friend here, and I am going to visit him. I want to try to stay here and see the scenery first."
Xuan Ming also extended an invitation to him, but was declined by Yu Jingzi. Xuan Ming's face turned cold: "Pindao thinks it's better for me to go to Tianshu Cliff with Pindao. If you leave, you might drag down the Spring and Autumn Scholars."
."
Yu Jingzi was shocked and forced a smile: "Where did Senior Taoist Master come from?"
Xuanming sighed: "Your real name is Wang Jing, why did you change your name to Yu Jingzi? Do you have to take the initiative to take risks when heaven issues an edict for a thorough investigation? What do you think you want?"
Yu Jingzi's face changed greatly: "Senior, what do you mean? Senior and I are strangers, we only came together to be together..."
Xuan Ming said: "It's true that we don't know each other, but everything in the world is so clever. We all know that World Honored Meng Qi is good at thunder and magic. He can't say that he knows nothing about talismans, but his knowledge is limited, let alone refining talismans. In the peaceful age
Where do you think these hundreds of talisman edicts and thousands of vouchers issued over the past few months came from?"
Yu Jingzi said: "What do you want to say, senior?"
Xuan Ming said: "Shizun Meng summoned twelve talisman masters that day to refine the talisman cards. Pindao was one of them. What's more, your Wang Jing's card was made by Pindao."
, every sentence on it was written by a poor person, and you can clearly recognize it with just one glance. You just added a little more of the word "王", do you think you can hide it from me? "
Just as he was talking, someone came from afar and greeted loudly: "Taoist Master Xuanming, you are finally here!"
When the person came to speak, it was Taoist Dragon Slayer beside Tian Luan.
Xuan Ming smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Tulong, I am here to ask you for a living and give you a gift. This Wang Jing is secretly spying on the inner affairs of the Spring and Autumn Period. Taoist Tulong should examine him to see what his hidden intentions are!"
In front of the three Hedao men, Wang Jing, who had temporarily changed his name to Yu Jingzi, could not get enough of him. He was captured by the three men and carried away.
Taoist priests Xuanming and Zheng Xuanming lived in seclusion at Tianshu Cliff. Like them, there was also a Hedao and two Lianxu who both settled here. It can be seen that the issuance of this order by the venerable Taoist was a torment for the heavens.
No matter how big it was, Yu Jing's reputation plummeted within a few days, and almost everyone reviled him.
But Yu Jing didn't know it himself, but was very satisfied with it until he was recruited by the Xuanyuan family to meet at Xuanyuan Qiu.
"Yu Jing, I heard that people with the same name and the same name as you are being thoroughly investigated for thirty-three days, is that true?"
"Yes, this happened. First of all, I saw a guy named Xuan Ming in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was appointed as the Divine General of the Nantian Gate. Your Majesty, please think about it. The people coming and going in the Nantian Gate is the best place for the news to spread. If someone misunderstands it,
If you say that I am an official in Tianmen, where can I put the face of this majestic World Honored One?"
"You are confused! Just because of such a trivial matter, all the gods and gods are making a fuss. Do you know how many people are scolding you behind your back?"
"Just let them scold you..."
"They are also scolding me!"
After a moment of silence, Yu Jing still lowered his head: "Then I go to Wu Sheng and ask him to take back the edict for a thorough investigation of the heavens?"
Xuanyuan said: "Take it back? How can there be any reason to quickly withdraw the edict not long after it was issued? Wouldn't it make the gods and gods laugh? If the heaven issues another edict in the future, no one will believe it!"
Yu Jing asked: "What should we do?"
Xuanyuan said: "What else can be done? This is the only way. I hope this matter will gradually be forgotten by the heavens. When I take my seat again, I will find a way to save you."
After scolding Yu Jing, the Xuanyuan family received another report that the five Ten Thousand Immortals Temples in the Spring and Autumn Period had been renovated and the Xinli Pond Array had been properly arranged. Today, the first day's harvest was harvested.
Credibility.
The power of Chongxin that the Xuanyuan family is most concerned about has also been calculated. The five Wanxian Temples have harvested a total of 620 Gui of Chongxin power, which is about 220,000 Gui a year. One Gui of Chongxin power can be converted into a five-color piece.
Stones, which is equivalent to excluding the 50,000 colorful stones in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Immortal World can earn 170,000 per year, and the investment in building temples and formations can be recovered in twenty-two years.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that in the Ten Thousand Immortals Temple, the statues of Xuanyuan and Wu Sheng stand side by side. The power of faith directed at Wu Sheng accounts for 230 gui, while the power of faith directed at Xuanyuan is only ten
