The Dongshen Hall is located east of the Sanbian Gate at the Zhongshan Xuanguan of the Heavenly Palace. The Supreme Daoist Patriarch, receiving the teachings of Yuanshi Tianzun and achieving the Supreme Dao, established a hall here to preach to the Taishang Laojun. Among the selected and extraordinary individuals, those who truly know and deserve this position must have made a great vow to the Taishang to save all living beings. Only after achieving such enlightenment can one extend this to oneself. Those who have brought great benevolence to the world and have responded to the will of Heavenly God will be given official rank. Those who have achieved this position will no longer be promoted or demoted.
In short, the Dongshen Hall was opened by the Supreme Taoist Ancestor, and the Supreme Laojun was in charge of preaching and determining the official ranks for the immortal officials in the heavenly court.
From the perspective of its fairy palace architecture, Dongshen Hall looks exactly like a Taoist temple or a palace temple. Moreover, this place is far away from the core of the heavenly court and is extremely quiet. Usually, except for the patrolling heavenly soldiers and generals, basically no one comes here.
And even if you come, it’s useless. If you are not selected to practice in the Cave God Hall, you can’t get in even if you come.
When Fang Jian arrived at the Cave God Hall, he also found that it was sparsely populated, quiet and peaceful, and it was difficult to see anyone in the huge Taoist temple.
Fang Jian even saw that the cracks in the jade brick ground in the Taoist palace's corridors and squares were filled with all kinds of spiritual flowers and herbs, and no one was cleaning them up. Some of them had grown to half a person's height, bringing a strong sense of desolation to the entire Taoist palace.
"Is this the Cave God Hall?" Fang Jian walked on the circular corridor and saw that there was even a Ganoderma lucidum growing on the pillar in front of him. He couldn't help but ask Taibai Jinxing with a puzzled look on his face.
Taibai Jinxing turned around and said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Why do I feel like I'm in a haunted house?" Fang Jian asked in confusion.
"..." Taibai Jinxing said: "Don't let those immortal masters hear this, otherwise you will suffer."
Fang Jian said nonchalantly, "So what if they heard it? Can they still beat me up?"
"Haha." Taibai Jinxing smiled faintly, stopped talking, and continued to lead the way.
The two of them passed through numerous palace corridors and stopped in front of a towering fairy palace, where Fang Jian finally saw someone.
I saw two golden immortals wearing Taoist robes and golden crowns standing on the left and right sides of the fairy palace gate, each holding a whisk in their hands, shaking their heads and muttering something.
At this time, Taibai Jinxing stopped and pointed to the tall and resolute Golden Immortal on the left and said, "This is Mo Di, the Central Guardian of the Cave Gods, Fellow Daoist Mo."
"Mozi? Which Mozi?" Fang Jian asked.
Taibai Jinxing asked, "Which Mo Di?"
"Mo Di, you don't know anything?" Fang Jian looked at Taibai Jinxing in confusion.
Taibai Jinxing rolled his eyes at Fang Jian and said, "If you don't tell me which Mo Di you are talking about, how can I know which Mo Di you are talking about?"
"The one about universal love and non-aggression." Fang Jian said.
Taibai Jinxing said, "Oh," and said, "You're talking about this Mo Di. Yes, he is that Mo Di."
“…”
Then Fang Jian pointed to the golden immortal on the right, who had a white face and no beard, and a strange and immortal appearance, and said, "This is Bai Shisheng, the lower guard of the cave god, Fellow Daoist Bai."
"This name is very familiar to my ears." Fang Jian said.
Taibai Jinxing smiled faintly, then walked towards Mo Di and Bai Shisheng, "Are you two happy, fellow Taoists?"
Mozi and Bai Shisheng, who were shaking their heads, stopped and looked at Taibai Jinxing.
After a moment, the two men reacted and immediately stepped forward to pay their respects. Mo Di then said, "It's Taibai Jinxing. It's been a long time since we last met."
"Haven't seen each other for over three hundred years, right?" Bai Shisheng said.
Taibai Jinxing nodded and said, "Yes, time flies by so fast. Three hundred years have already passed in the blink of an eye. By the way, haven't you two fellow Taoists gone out for a walk in these three hundred years?"
"What's so good about going outside? Studying the mysteries of heaven and earth in this cave temple and reading the true scriptures of all directions are the happiest things in the world." Mozi waved the whisk in his hand and said leisurely.
At this time, Fang Jian stepped forward and asked Mo Di, "Master Mo Di, why don't you go to the human world to preach and spread the idea of 'universal love and non-aggression' throughout the Three Realms?"
Upon hearing this, Mozi sighed and said, "Are you talking about the human race? It can't be passed on. It's hopeless. Please seek other help."
"..." Fang Jian was speechless. What made the founder of Mohism lie down like this?
At this time, Bai Shisheng added, "It has been spread a long time ago. It was first spread in the Jambu World for three hundred years, and then spread in the thirteen heavens for another four hundred years. At the beginning, everyone was indeed very compassionate, but later they all became 'compulsory to attack.'"
"Huh?" Mo Di reacted at this moment and looked at Fang Jian and asked, "Who are you? I've never seen you before."
Taibai Jinxing immediately introduced: "My two fellow Daoists, this is Master Hongqing Fang Jian, the current Minister of the Western Heaven Palace and Heavenly Monarch."
"Oh..." After hearing Taibai Jinxing's introduction, Mo Di and Bai Shisheng suddenly understood and asked, "Are you here to study at Dongshen Hall?"
Fang Jian was a little speechless. Looking at the two people's surprised expressions, he thought they knew his name.
"That's right." Taibai Jinxing said, "The Jade Emperor ordered me to bring Master Hongqing here to register first, and then return to Xitian Mansion to take charge."
"That's quite a bit of honor." Bai Shisheng looked at Fang Jian and said, "Okay, then you guys go in quickly. The Cave God Assistant is sleeping in the hall."
Taibai Jinxing said with a smile: "Okay."
Afterwards, Taibai Jinxing brought Fang Jian into the Immortal Palace and went straight to the Senate Hall.
When I arrived outside the Senate Hall, I found that there were only two boys guarding the hall, and I didn't see anyone else.
"There are three main people in the Senate Hall, one main and two deputies, namely, the Assistant Cave God, the Cave God Clerk, and the Cave God Second Minister. If you want to register your name, you must register with the Assistant Cave God." Taibai Jinxing said to Fang Jian.
