"The great master is so warmongering! To fight against a mere few thousand pirates from the East China Sea, he actually sent out 500,000 heavenly soldiers!" Several Taoist immortals stood on the shore of the East China Sea, looking at the surging waves of the East China Sea, and one of the female immortals said.
The surrounding immortals fell silent upon hearing this, and then another male immortal said, "I'm afraid that destroying the thieves is just a pretext. The real purpose is to use this to show off the military power of the Heavenly Court."
"Where is the great commander going to send troops next?" asked another immortal.
The female immortal who spoke first said, "I've heard that the ruler of the Tang Dynasty in Jambudvīpa has the intention of destroying Buddhism. I'm afraid the Grand Master wants to use this as an opportunity to expel Buddhism from Jambudvīpa again."
"Will Buddhism agree? If a war breaks out, it will be another earth-shattering battle between immortals and Buddhas." A cultivator said worriedly.
At this time, a male immortal complained, "The Heavenly Court has become increasingly overbearing in recent years. Although the Heavenly Court rules the Three Realms, couldn't they just control the Heavenly Court? The living beings in the land and heavens are already educated by our Buddhist and Taoist disciples. Why does the Heavenly Court insist on keeping everything under its control?"
"Dominate the three realms and concentrate power in one place." A casual cultivator said in a deep voice.
The monks sighed in disappointment, and then heard the female immortal say, "This world is becoming less and less free."
"Why don't we go to the Zhenyang Taoist Palace and take a look? I heard that the Sanyang Patriarch inherited the teachings of Laojun, and the Taoism he taught includes the Xiaoyao Taoism. If that's true, why don't we join?" A cultivator suggested.
The cultivators paused for a moment after hearing this, then suddenly realized, "Yes, I've heard of that too."
"Since this is the Taoism taught by the Supreme Lord Lao, why not go and take a look!"
"Let's go. I'll go with you."
...
On the other hand, the Zhenyang Taoist Temple also began a 49-day process of offering sacrifices to the gods and confessing sins.
Led by Patriarch Sanyang, he led the first, second, third and fourth generation disciples to set up an altar in the main temple, and then offered sacrifices to the statues of Nuwa and the gods in heaven who had been slandered by them, and they kowtowed one by one to apologize.
When this news spread, all the Taoist monks in Dongsheng Shenzhou who had not yet joined the Zhenyang Taoist Palace were shocked.
First, I was shocked that the Zhenyang Taoist Palace was so bold, and second, I was shocked that the Zhenyang Taoist Palace had done so many things in private.
And if you think about it carefully, you will find that apart from Nuwa, the people who were slandered the most by Zhenyang Taoist Palace were all the immortals and gods in heaven.
This is equivalent to saying that the Zhenyang Taoist Palace is going against the Heavenly Court, but what everyone is puzzled about now is why the Zhenyang Taoist Palace suddenly wants to apologize?
However, those Taoist practitioners soon guessed that the sudden apology from the Zhenyang Taoist Palace to the heaven must be related to the 500,000 heavenly soldiers of the Heavenly Court capturing the pirates from the East.
Could it be that the Heavenly Court has evidence against the Zhenyang Taoist Palace, so it is showing off its power and making an example of someone to scare the Zhenyang Taoist Palace?
Thinking of this, many Taoist practitioners in Dongsheng Shenzhou admired and sympathized with the Zhenyang Taoist Palace, but they did not dare to speak for the Zhenyang Taoist Palace, let alone join the Zhenyang Taoist Palace at this time.
However, this did not affect everyone's favorable impression of the Zhenyang Taoist Temple. First, the Zhenyang Taoist Temple is a Taoist temple that also worships Laojun. Second, the only stain on the Zhenyang Taoist Temple is that it slandered Nuwa. As for slandering the gods in heaven, everyone is of course happy to see it.
Of course, what was even more shocking was the Taoist monks from Xuantu Temple, Yuhua Temple and Shaoyang Mountain who had fled to Solitary Mountain and settled there.
They had never imagined that the decline of incense in those temples on earth and the rumors about Nuwa and the gods in heaven were actually caused by the Zhenyang Taoist Palace.
"This person must be a true demon from the outside world!" said Yan Haiping, the master of Yuhua Temple.
Zhao Yangqing, the head of Xuantu Monastery, said, "What about the Laojun's spiritual appearance and teachings? If this person is truly a heretic or a true demon, how could Laojun sit idly by and watch this heretic or a true demon disrupt the mortal world?"
Shaoyang Mountain Master Li Xuanyi said: "Laojun is the embodiment of the Daoist ancestor's morality. Speaking of it, the demons of the outer ways are also creatures within the Great Dao. There are demons in the Three Thousand Great Daos, so why would Laojun interfere? Besides, if the Three Yang Patriarch is really a demon of the outer way, then
It is a calamity sent down by heaven upon Dongsheng Shenzhou. If it is a calamity, we must overcome it on our own."
As the three were talking, they heard a burst of voices outside, followed by a woman's voice saying, "Three abbots, Zhu Shanzhu is waiting in the main hall of Gushan Mountain to discuss the construction of the Wahuang Temple and the Jade Emperor Temple."
After hearing this, the three of them heard Zhao Yangqing say, "Okay, please tell Master Zhu Shan that we will be here later."
The Lord of Zhu Mountain was referring to Zhu Yuanzhang. When Lu Xuansheng recovered from his injury and returned to Yuhua Temple, he informed Yan Haiping and Xue Qingxia of the situation here.
Therefore, everyone in Yuhua Temple is the most friendly towards those who come to Gushan. After all, these "mortals" on Gushan once saved the life of their elder.
And there are also the decrees passed down by Laojun, so everyone thinks that these "mortals" on Gushan Mountain may not be ordinary, especially Zhu Shanzhu and his "descendants". The cultivators are completely unable to see through the secrets of them.
...
Heaven, Tianjun Palace.
The Queen Mother of the West sat in the hall, and the emperors, marshals, and generals stood in the hall. Nezha naturally stood among the marshals.
As for Fang Jian, he was a fifth-rank Heavenly Judge, so naturally he was ranked after the four great captains, and was considered the lowest person in the palace.
"Your Excellency, these are the petitions of apology submitted by the Zhenyang Taoist Palace in the lower realm at the altar." The head of the Tongcheng Court, Zhenren Xihua, and the three judges of the Tongcheng Court each came to the Tianjun Hall with a pile of petitions in their hands and reported.
The Lady of the Nine Heavens didn't even look at them, but simply said, "Seal them all."
"I obey the order." Master Xihua bowed and accepted the order.
Then the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady said, "Tell the envoy of Taixuandu Province to come to Tianjun Palace to see me."
"Yes." The boy responded crisply, then turned and left Tianjun Hall.
