Now hearing what Fang Jian said, Emperor Qinghua of Dongji didn't know what to say.
"But sending the spiritual weapon to the mortal world is too risky." Wenshi Zhenren Yin Xi said to Fang Jian at this time.
Fang Jian said to Yin Xi, "I will set up a special supervisory office in Xitian Prefecture to ensure that spiritual weapons are not abused."
"How to ensure it?" asked Yin Xi, the Taoist Master Wenshi.
Fang Jian said: "Intimidate them with punishment and subdue them with virtue."
"That's too general." Master Wenshi shook his head and said, "If a spiritual weapon enters the mortal world, it could cause a catastrophe if not handled with care. Master Hongqing, you must understand that a spiritual weapon has the power of a true immortal. Perhaps a three-year-old child could casually wave it and an entire village would be destroyed."
Fang Jian said, "This is the scope of the supervisory yamen's authority. The yamen responsible for supervising spiritual weapons must ensure that these spiritual weapons are not obtained by three-year-old children."
"What if they get it and it causes serious consequences?" asked Master Wenshi again.
Fang Jian said: "Then the owner of this spiritual weapon will receive the most severe punishment."
"Maybe he will be dead by then." said Master Wenshi.
Fang Jian smiled slightly and said, "Even if he is dead, he still has a soul."
"But in the end, an irreversible disaster has already occurred." said Master Wenshi.
Fang Jian replied, "When anything new emerges, it's bound to cause some kind of disaster. When the Heavenly Court was first established, it also experienced countless bloody storms, which established its current solid position as the ruler of the three realms."
"What you said makes sense, but we can avoid such things from happening. Spiritual weapons are not the only way to solve the problems of Xiniu Hezhou. Perhaps there are other better ways." said Master Wenshi.
Fang Jian bowed and said, "Please enlighten me, Governor."
"..." Master Wenshi was startled and said, "I don't have a better idea for now..."
"..." Even the Great Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Pole was speechless. He shook his head and said to the immortal officials in the hall, "Do you have any questions for Master Hongqing?"
As soon as the Eastern Emperor Qinghua finished speaking, Taixuan Deputy Commander Youyuan bowed to the Eastern Emperor Qinghua and said to Fang Jian, "Master Hongqing, the Heavenly Court is the ruler of the Three Realms. It is to bring blessings to all beings in the Three Realms, not to bring disaster. You are not wrong to fully implement the Heavenly Law in Xiniu Hezhou, but you should not use the people of Xiniu Hezhou as bargaining chips."
Fang Jian asked Youyuan Zhenren, "Are the sentient beings in Xiniu Hezhou that the Deputy Commander is talking about living beings who follow the laws of heaven or living beings who follow the laws of Buddhism?"
This time Fang Jian brought up the topic directly, but Master Youyuan was not so easily dismissed. He immediately replied, "Whether they follow the laws of heaven or Buddhism, they are all sentient beings under the rule of my Heavenly Court."
Fang Jian said, "Then, if a being who adheres to the laws of heaven suffers a calamity due to a spiritual weapon, my Western Heaven Palace will contact the underworld and provide them with proper reincarnation arrangements. As for a being who adheres to the Buddhist teachings, the Buddha said, 'If I don't go to hell, who will?' Now is the time for them to put this into practice."
"This..." Master Youyuan was slightly startled, then said, "But mortals are mortals after all. They have not practiced cultivation, and they don't know how to use spiritual tools best or where to use them. It is inevitable that they will make big mistakes due to momentary mistakes."
Fang Jian looked at Master Youyuan and said, "Deputy Commander, you've been an immortal official for too long, away from the mortal world for too long, right? You're just taking it for granted. Mortals aren't as stupid as you think. Besides, the supervisory office I've established in Xitian Prefecture will also be responsible for teaching them the use of spiritual weapons and various key points."
At this point, Fang Jian looked at Master Youyuan and asked, "Didn't the Deputy Commander become an immortal from a mortal?"
Master Youyuan was stunned again, then said calmly: "How can this god be compared with ordinary people?"
Fang Jian shook his head and said, "Deputy Commander, if that's what you think, then you have no right to discuss the Spirit Weapon Manual with me. You'd better be silent and just stand there and listen."
Master Youyuan's expression changed, and he looked at Fang Jian and said, "You...!"
But the next moment, Xun Kuang, the inspector of Taixuan Province, asked Fang Jian, "These aren't the key issues. The key issue is that as soon as spiritual artifacts enter the mortal world, no matter how they are supervised, problems will eventually arise. The situation in the mortal world is very different from the cultivation world. If spiritual artifacts become ordinary objects in the mortal world, they will inevitably be scattered. Even if the Xitian Mansion supervises them, they can't have a divine general guarding everyone at all times, right?"
"So, as long as spiritual weapons enter the mortal world, everyone, from three-year-old children to octogenarians, will inevitably come into contact with them. Even the most stringent regulations cannot completely prevent them." Xun Kuang looked at Fang Jian and said, "So, I want to ask Master Hongqing, how do you prevent spiritual weapons from being obtained by those who shouldn't have them? And how do you prevent the disasters that spiritual weapons may bring to mortal beings?"
When Fang Jian heard Xun Kuang's question, he immediately fell into deep thought, and the immortal officials in the hall were also amazed at Xun Kuang's questions. Compared with Master Youyuan's questions, Xun Kuang's questions were more practical and detailed.
After Fang Jian pondered for a while, he slowly raised his head under the gaze of the Eastern Qinghua Emperor and the other immortal officials and said, "Perhaps we can engrave some words on the spiritual weapon as a reminder."
Xun Kuang Zhenren frowned and asked, "What word?"
Fang Jian said: "This item is seriously harmful to the health of others, please keep it properly."
“…”
In an instant, the entire Taixuan Hall fell into deathly silence.
