Is it heavy? Everyone present fell silent. Of course it was heavy. It was a weight that several generations of Tianshi ancestors in the Tianshi Mansion had never been able to carry.
Fang Jian simply smiled and replied, "To an ordinary person, it's as light as a feather. To the Great Heavenly Master, it's as heavy as a mountain."
Zhang Huan didn't say anything else because he was trying to imagine how heavy the mountain was.
Fang Jian turned around and said to the more than 3,000 core disciples of the Tianshi Mansion present: "The Winter Solstice Dharma Assembly begins now!"
...
"There are three resolutions in this Winter Solstice Dharma Assembly, all of which concern the future of Tianshi Mansion and Haolan Realm. The first resolution is: Establishing the Way of Humanity." Fang Jian announced.
"humane?"
"What is humanity?"
"May I ask Master Hongqing, what is humanity?"
The disciples heard the concept of "humanity" for the first time, so they all asked Fang Jian.
This is the rule that Fang Jian set for the Grand Fa Conference. If there is anything you don’t understand at the Grand Fa Conference, you can ask it immediately, and the person being asked must answer it.
Fang Jian raised his hand slightly, and all the voices immediately fell silent. Then Fang Jian spoke again, "Humanity means: 'Save the dying and the wounded, reject evil and promote good, establish morality, uphold trust and loyalty, love others, be upright and not cunning, hold fast to the middle ground, respect Heaven and follow the ancestors, and achieve the highest good.' This is humanity."
Fang Jian added, "Once the Way of Man is established, one must eliminate desires within and resist demons without. This is the purpose of the Way of Man."
After Fang Jian's explanation, everyone understood a little bit. To put it simply, humanity is to promote all good virtues to educate the people.
But unlike general education, humanity is a path that requires all mortals to follow and engrave all good virtues into their bones. It is like religion, but it is not a religion.
At this point, a disciple stood up and bowed respectfully, then asked, "May I ask Master Hongqing, is there anyone in this world who practices the Way of Man and can pass it down through the ages?"
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Yes, but not in this world."
The disciple asked curiously, "Master Hongqing, what are their origins? Are they the same as our Haolan Realm?"
Fang Jian shook his head and said, "No, they are different from the humans of the Haolan Realm. Although they were also created by the Goddess Nuwa, they are extremely special in the entire Three Realms."
The disciple became even more curious and asked again, "I hope Master Hongqing can tell me."
Fang Jian smiled and said, "They are the noble descendants of Yanhuang, the offspring of gods."
"The noble descendants of Yanhuang, the seed of the gods!"
When everyone heard these two words, they were deeply shocked. They did not understand the words Yanhuang, but they did understand the words Seed of God. What kind of atmosphere would it be for a human race to be called the 'Seed of God'?
All human beings in the three realms were created by the goddess Nuwa, but only the clans in the southern continent of the Jambu world and Fang Jian's "hometown" are called "the noble descendants of Yanhuang, the seeds of gods".
Why? Because this lineage gave birth to great and sacred figures such as the Five Elders of the Five Directions, the Four Celestial Masters, and the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave.
Therefore, Fang Jian said to the astonished disciples in front of him: "The noble descendants of Yanhuang, the seeds of gods, embody the ultimate development of humanity."
"So, is this the kind of humanity that Master Hongqing wants to establish?" asked Yu Zhixia, the elder of the Patriarch Hall.
Fang Jian nodded and said, "That's right, but to establish humanity, we need a teacher of humanity, and this teacher of humanity must be selected from among you all here."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present began to boil over with excitement. Who wouldn't want to be a teacher of humanity? It would leave a good reputation as a teacher of humanity for generations to come.
But just when the disciples were eager to try, Fang Jian poured a bucket of cold water on them: "Excuse me, fellow Taoists here, who's moral conduct can meet the humane standards I mentioned earlier?"
This question immediately made everyone present fall silent. They asked themselves, can’t they do it?
"Now let's vote on the issue of 'establishing humanity'." Fang Jian said.
Establishing the human way is of great benefit to the Tianshi Mansion. The human way can help the Tianshi Mansion fight against the external demons, but it belongs to two different paths from the Tianshi Mansion, so they are not mutually exclusive.
Therefore, the proposal to establish humanity was passed by all votes.
"The establishment of the Way of Humanity has been voted through. Specific details will be issued later in an imperial decree. Now, let's move on to the second resolution, which was proposed by Yuan Zhongying, the head of Zhaolie Prefecture in the Tianshi Mansion: the resolution to march west."
As soon as Fang Jian finished speaking, the entire Dragon and Tiger Dojo began to discuss.
The resolutions of the Grand Fa Conference are proposed by all disciples who are qualified to participate in the Grand Fa Conference. Then Fang Jian will select several resolutions that need to be voted on at the Grand Fa Conference.
If it is something that does not require a vote, the reasonable Fang Jian will directly approve it and issue an edict to implement it.
But Yuan Zhongying's decision to march west really surprised everyone, even Wang Zhonghu and the other six people were quite surprised.
Going west means immediately declaring war on the external demons, and it is obvious that the Tianshi Mansion is not ready yet.
So when this proposal came out, Wang Zhonghu immediately stood up and said, "No! Now that the Heavenly Master's Mansion is under the leadership of Master Hongqing, everything is just getting back on track and showing signs of prosperity. We absolutely cannot start a war with the external sects and true demons at this time, otherwise everything we have now will be destroyed."
There were many people who shared the same view as Wang Zhonghu. They all stood up to express their opinions, and without exception, they all opposed it.
Finally, the vote began. The resolution to move westward only received more than a hundred votes, with the remaining nearly three thousand votes against it.
Then Yuan Zhongying's proposal was sealed by Fang Jian. Proposals that were rejected at the Dafa Conference could not be promulgated.
