"Li Jian, Zhao Qi, Zhang He."
"You and the other three were all casual cultivators before and did not know the true Dharma."
"You can only obtain the true scripture after entering the mountain gate. Fang Jian Dao, now that you have been reborn and have built the Taoist Purple Mansion, you can serve the mountain gate. "
In Jinhua Mountain, in the Shanggong Hall, the deacon monk handed a jade slip to Li Jian and the others.
Li Jian and the others bowed and thanked: "Thank you, senior brother."
This Shanggong Hall is located on both sides of the mountainside square.
As Shen Yao and other first batch of monks entered the inner gate, and the second batch of monks were selected, Jiang Sheng personally uprooted four temples on both sides of the mountainside square with great magic power.
One is the Shanggong Hall, the other is the Lingbao Hall, the other is the Dancao Hall, and the other is the Star Observation Hall.
Among them, the Star Observation Hall was built by Jiang Sheng with a lot of effort. There was not only a clone of Jiang Sheng sitting there, but also several ghosts and gods, who jointly used the method of observing the sky to observe the sky and gain insight into all directions.
After discovering that there is disaster in a certain place, the information will be sent to the Shanggong Hall.
The Hall of Good Merits selects monks based on the degree of disaster, assigns good deeds, and issues tasks. After success, the monks are given good deeds.
Good deeds play a great role in Jinhua Mountain. Whether it is purchasing magical treasures and elixirs, exchanging exercises and scriptures, or applying for cave cultivation, Zhenjun teaching Dharma, etc., good deeds are required.
In order to maintain the operation of Jinhua Mountain, and to ensure that the monks in Jinhua Mountain can see hope, and to observe the character of these monks and ensure that they will not be alienated from Jinhua Mountain, Jiang Sheng specially prepared this The entire Jinhua Mountain operation process.
Jiang Sheng stored a large number of his skills in the Sutra Pavilion in Jinhua Mountain for the monks to redeem.
These exercises do not involve Penglai, they are all obtained by Jiang Sheng from outside. The lowest one is the Zifu stage, and the highest one is the Huashen stage. It provides everything from Zifu to Jindan, Yuanying, and Huashen. A complete set of cultivation techniques ensures that all monks can see the realm of divine transformation on their way forward.
The skills above the realm of transformation into gods were provided by Immortal Xiangyu. Immortal Xiangyu provided several skills for the Void Refining Stage. As the highest reward of Jinhua Mountain, they were placed in the Sutra Pavilion.
As long as all the monks in Jinhua Mountain enter the Sutra Pavilion, they can see the brilliant golden lights hanging on the top floor of the Sutra Pavilion.
That is the goal that all Jinhua Mountain monks pursue: the technique of becoming an immortal.
At the same time, except for some of the elixirs, magical herbs and magic weapons in the Dancao Palace and Lingbao Palace in Jinhua Mountain, except for some that Jiang Sheng brought out from the body of the desolate beast, the rest all belong to Emperor Zixiao. contribute.
It must be said that the massive resources provided by Emperor Zixiao have enriched Jinhua Mountain’s heritage.
Coupled with the barrier of heaven and earth that isolates the inside and outside of Jinhua Mountain, Jinhua Mountain has become a rare safe place in the world of mountains and seas.
The world of mountains and seas has become increasingly unsafe.
Whether it is the number of mud dragons flying around or the number of ghost gates opening more and more, the entire world of mountains and seas seems to be full of disasters.
Whether it is to avoid disaster or to live forever, a large number of monks come to Jinhua Mountain, hoping to worship under the True Immortal Sect and seek immortality.
Among them, there was even a prince from the Yu Dynasty.
Yes, the prince of the Yu Dynasty also came to Jinhua Mountain in disguise.
At first, Jiang Sheng didn't care. It wasn't until the prince's true identity was exposed on the way to ask his mind that he got Jiang Sheng's attention.
That was the second son of Emperor Xian, the contemporary emperor of the Yu Dynasty, named Ji Hong.
The royal family of the Yu Dynasty was named Ji. In the entire Yu Dynasty, except for the capital of Yu, there were no common people or monks named Ji outside.
A monk named Ji came to Jinhua Mountain in a big way, and exposed everything about himself to Jiang Sheng without fear. His purpose is self-evident.
Ji Hong did it on purpose. Perhaps he was sent to Jinhua Mountain on purpose by Emperor Xian.
As the emperor of the Yu Dynasty, Emperor Xian had an extremely keen sense of smell. He sensed more and more disasters in the world and realized that the world was about to undergo drastic changes. Therefore, he chose to scatter the royal bloodline and transfer many people with the Ji surname. The disciples were sent out of Yudu and dispersed to the east, west, north and south.
This is not just the case for Emperor Xian, but also for all the aristocratic families. The ghost and god families that have been inherited for thousands or even nearly ten thousand years are all aware of the crisis.
In Jiang Sheng's Jinhua Mountain, there are quite a few children from aristocratic families.
The same children of these aristocratic families also sent a lot of news to Jiang Sheng.
For example, there has been trouble in the Netherworld, and both the Yu Dynasty and the Qian Dynasty are in trouble.
For example, Emperor Xian of the Yu Dynasty planned to build a dragon boat and send a group of children surnamed Ji across the East China Sea to find a safe place on the sea to preserve the bloodline inheritance.
When these news were sent to Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but laugh.
Escape?
What if the membrane of heaven and earth in the world of mountains and seas is really ruptured, even if it means escaping to the sea or to the northwest sky?
Of all the living beings in this world of mountains and seas, whether they are monks or ghosts and gods, who can escape?
Jiang Sheng no longer paid attention to the actions of these wealthy families, and he began to focus on the affairs in Jinhua Mountain.
As the thirteenth generation true successor of Penglai Lingzi, Jiang Sheng was responsible for sect affairs, served as the master of Tianxuan Peak, and handled a large number of sect affairs for his senior brother Lingwei.
Now this small Jinhua Mountain really can’t hold Jiang Sheng’s hands and feet down.
While cultivating monks, he also dispatched monks to spread around, working step by step to establish the reputation of Jinhua Mountain.
In the past three to five years, the reputation of Jinhua Mountain has not only been limited to Lingyou Prefecture and several surrounding states.
Half of the Yu Dynasty had the footprints of monks from Jinhua Mountain.
It is also due to the fact that Jiang Sheng has recruited many children from ghost and god families. It is much easier for these monks from wealthy families to travel around, and they can handle problems more appropriately, making Jinhua Mountain more and more famous.
As Jiang Sheng recruited the children of those aristocratic clans into the inner courtyard, a large group of monks from aristocratic families, including Ji Hong, became an important force in Jinhua Mountain.
With their presence, more than ten prefectures and counties around Lingyou Prefecture have almost formed a scene where the Yu Dynasty and Jinhua Mountain share the same respect.
The officials of the Yu Dynasty were responsible for government affairs and people's livelihood, while the monks of Jinhua Mountain were responsible for eradicating evil spirits and stabilizing the place.
And this model is still expanding.
Jiang Sheng continued to communicate and contact with the ghost and god families in various places through the children of these aristocratic families. After both parties had a certain degree of trust, he asked Gao Yan to take charge of contacting the ghost and god aristocratic families in various places, and strive to bring the ghost and god aristocratic families in various places to Join the Xuan Qing Guan system.
Originally, with Jiang Sheng as a living immortal, the power of Jinhua Mountain was already very huge. In addition, Xuanqing Temple had Immortal Xiangyu sitting in charge, and the ghosts and gods from all over the world also began to have secret contact with Xuanqing Temple.
Jiang Sheng is not opposed to this way of hedging his bets. As long as these people don't cause trouble for him, everything will be fine.
What Jiang Sheng cares about is the overall situation of the entire Shanhai Realm, and does not care about the immediate gains and losses.
And now that the world of mountains and seas is becoming more and more turbulent, the right to speak of Jinhua Mountain is constantly expanding and strengthening. When the time comes, many people will come to join us.
After all, apart from these aristocratic families, the royal family of the Yu Dynasty was also eyeing Jinhua Mountain.
Jinhua Mountain, Xuanqing Hall.
Ji Hong stood in the main hall uneasily, with a complicated mood. In the past, he was a high-ranking prince of the Yu Dynasty, enjoying endless wealth and glory.
He thought he had seen all the rare treasures in the world and met many kinds of ghosts, gods and monks.
But since coming to Jinhua Mountain, Ji Hong has learned what it means to have people outside the world and heaven outside the world.
In this true immortal dojo, rare treasures can be seen everywhere, and the ghosts, gods and monks are not worth mentioning.
What do rare treasures, external objects, ghosts and gods have to do with him?
Only strength is completely yours.
Ji Hong saw the real method of immortality here and the opportunity to become an immortal.
So, Ji Hong sincerely worshiped Jiang Sheng's disciples and became one of the thousands of monks in the inner courtyard.
At this time, there are already more than one hundred thousand monks in Jinhua Mountain, but among these one hundred thousand monks, only a few thousand can enter the inner courtyard.
Ji Hong cherishes his status as a disciple of the inner courtyard. Not only does he practice hard, he also completes the tasks assigned by the Shanggong Hall to the letter.
Now that he was suddenly called into the Xuanqing Palace, Ji Hong was still in a daze for a moment.
"Don't be flustered. I'm here to see you. I just have something to ask you to do."
Jiang Sheng's voice sounded, and along with the gathering of fresh air, a stream of fresh air flowed through Ji The front of Hong's body slowly solidified and turned into a human form.
He wears a sapphire Taoist crown, a mysterious crane suit, his eyes are shining with mysterious light, and his face is smiling.
The Lord of Jinhua Mountain, True Lord Yuchen Lingyuan!
Although Ji Hong realized that it was Jiang Sheng who was looking for him, he was still extremely excited when he saw Jiang Sheng appearing in front of him: "Disciple Ji Hong, I have met the true king."
Jiang Sheng waved his hand and signaled to Ji Hong doesn't have to be so reserved: "Ji Hong, I know your identity and origin."
Ji Hong nodded without saying much.
From the moment Emperor Xian asked him to worship at Jinhua Mountain, Ji Hong knew that his identity had no cover at all in front of this true king.
When he entered Jinhua Mountain, he represented the Yu Dynasty, or the attitude of Emperor Xian.
Jiang Sheng continued: "Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and disasters are everywhere. You have dealt with it yourself. What do you think?"
Ji Hong couldn't help but think of the first time he went down the mountain to practice.
After entering the inner gate, Ji Hong had just stabilized his realm when he received the task of the mountain gate to go down the mountain to exorcise evil spirits.
That time, Ji Hong and others encountered the opening of the ghost gate in Huashi Prefecture. Thousands of ghosts and spirits swarmed out from the ghost gate. Several counties turned into white ground. Countless creatures died tragically and the ground was in a mess. amputated limb Wreckage
That time, Ji Hong and others, who were full of confidence, thought that they had the inheritance of Jinhua Mountain and that they were geniuses from noble families, so they could handle the matter easily, but in the end, they almost died in the hands of those evil spirits.
If the newcomers who were going down the mountain for the first time were not secretly followed by old people, Ji Hong and the others would have died in the hands of those evil ghosts.
What kind of royal prince, what kind of ghost family, so-called identity, so-called bloodline, are of no use in the face of disaster. If someone hadn't secretly protected them, they would have died as worthlessly as those miserable creatures. In that ghost world, no one cared.
It was also at that time that Ji Hong saw the true demeanor of the inner court disciples of Jinhua Mountain and what the power of a true immortal was.
The name of the inner court disciple is Anping. He is not ranked in the top fifty in the inner court of Jinhua Mountain. He is not the strongest senior brother Shen Yao. However, the strength he has shown is far beyond that of a real Jindan person. The power.
Ji Hong watched with his own eyes that Senior Brother Anping killed dozens of evil ghosts with his sword skills, and also used the Taoist talisman technique to set up a Xuanmen formation, summoning thunder from the sky and almost destroying that group of ghosts. , purified several counties.
After communicating with Anping, Ji Hong understood that the so-called "Chengfeng Yuxu" was the Jindan master, which did not work in Jinhua Mountain.
In Jinhua Mountain, if one thought does not span thousands of miles, and the world is at its mercy, it cannot be regarded as Jindan Zhenren.
Furthermore, a qualified Jindan Daoist must not only have the means to reach thousands of miles away and the magical power to travel thousands of miles, but also be proficient in at least one or even two of the alchemy array talismans, especially the art of talismans and formations. You must be proficient in one discipline before you can be considered a qualified Jindan practitioner.
Anping was proficient in the art of talismans and formations. He used talismans to set up the thunder formation in Huashi Prefecture.
It is said that the thunder method is still the Tianxin Five Thunder Method passed down by Zhenjun. However, with Anping's current strength, he cannot display all its power. He can only use talismans and formations to indirectly display it, and the power is absolutely useless. .
Even so, the brilliant thunder that destroyed a group of ghosts at every turn and wiped out thousands of ghosts and gods shocked the aristocratic children like Ji Hong who had seen many ghosts and gods.
The majestic power exerted by Taoism's majestic rectification is unmatched by the methods of ghosts and gods.
From the front door to the side door, you can get a glimpse of it.
Not to mention that Anping encountered a mud dragon on the way back with Ji Hong and others. Facing the raging mud dragon, Anping asked for the talisman given by Jiang Sheng.
That talisman looked very ordinary to Ji Hong, with the word "Zhou" written on it.
But just for this talisman, the moment Anping invited him out, an indescribable force of heaven and earth oppressed Ji Hong and others, making them unable to breathe.
But in an instant, the word "Zhan" turned into a sword beam across the world, easily killing the mud dragon, leaving a deep ravine thousands of miles long on the earth.
It was only then that Ji Hong and the others clearly realized that the so-called inner court newcomers going down the mountain to experience was just to shatter their pride and allow them to see clearly the changes in the world and the Taoist laws and principles. There is a huge gap between the laws of ghosts and gods.
If you have not practiced in the pure land of Jinhua Mountain, and have not entered the cave, you will not realize the gap between the immortal paradise and the world of mortals.
Even the majestic and majestic capital of Yu is just a speck of dust in front of Jinhua Mountain.
Even though this speck of dust is a million miles in size, what does it mean in front of a true immortal?
Since then, Ji Hong and others have devoted themselves to practice and have never been tired of their daily homework. They have completed several tasks assigned by the mountain gate and accumulated a lot of good deeds. Now Ji Hong also has some points in Jinhua Mountain. He looks like a veteran disciple.
Recalling the past few years living in Jinhua Mountain, Ji Hong said: "Back to Zhenjun, now there is chaos in the world of mountains and seas, and the world is in ruins. Jinhua Mountain is protected by Zhenjun, and it is a rare and pure place. It’s like a paradise.”
"Not only Jinhua Mountain, Lingyou Prefecture is also the first-class peaceful place in the Yu Dynasty. Others, even near the capital of Yu, are not so peaceful."
Listen to Ji Hong's answer , Jiang Sheng nodded and took Ji Hong to the outside of Xuanqing Hall.
Standing in front of the jade fence outside Xuanqing Hall, looking at the scenery in Jinhua Mountain, Jiang Sheng said slowly: "I have no intention of competing in the world. I established this dojo to spread the Dharma to the world. I just feel the suffering of living beings."
"Ji Hong, the reason why your father asked you to worship I think you know the reason why.”
“I have a letter, please keep it and send it to Yudu and give it to your father.”
Ji Hong said solemnly. After taking the letter, he said goodbye to Jiang Sheng without asking any questions and turned down the mountain.
Ten days later, Emperor Xian in the capital of Yu received a letter from Ji Hong entrusted by Jiang Sheng.
Above the letter, there are only eight Chinese characters:
"As an emperor, can you respect God?" (End of this chapter)
