The earth trembled and smoke and dust flew everywhere.
With the dust and smoke flying into the sky, flags were looming in the dust.
Looking up, it was so dense that there was no end in sight.
This is the guard of honor for Emperor Xian's eastward tour.
Although the current Yu Dynasty is already in a state of collapse at the end of the dynasty, as long as the Yu Dynasty has not completely collapsed, the power it can unleash is beyond everyone's imagination.
As a dynasty of ghosts and gods that has occupied the southeastern land of the Mountain and Sea Realm for nearly 100,000 years, the resources and weapons accumulated by the emperors of the Yu Dynasty cannot be described even by gold, mountains, silver and sea.
During Emperor Xian's eastward tour, Yudu was not only followed by concubines, attendants, officials and nobles, but also millions of elite soldiers loyal to Emperor Xian were mobilized from Yudu.
Originally, these soldiers were to follow Emperor Xian into the Netherworld to protect Emperor Xian after his death, but now that the Netherworld was in chaos, these soldiers naturally followed Emperor Xian on his eastward tour.
Hundreds of thousands of chariots and various kinds of magical instruments and ritual guards spread across thousands of miles, and in the center of these armored guards is a hundred-foot palace, pulled by chariots, like a hill Generally moving slowly.
At the back of the palace, there is also a square frame that accommodates ghosts and gods, with wisps of incense lingering, turning into the aura of ghosts and gods that covers the sky and the sun. The true faces of ghosts and gods are looming in it, and that one The monks riding on the clouds and flying in the sky gathered around the palace guard of honor.
Emperor Xian put on such a posture, this eastward tour was not only to worship Jinhua Mountain, but also to intimidate restless aristocratic families everywhere.
Faced with the large number of ghosts, gods and monks brought by Emperor Xian, aristocratic families from all over the country also showed a high degree of cooperation. They not only provided soldiers and soldiers as escorts along the way, but also provided money and food for this huge eastern patrol team. resource.
During Emperor Xian's journey, except for the resources of Yudu that were consumed when setting off, all expenses along the way were provided by aristocratic families from various states and counties.
Whether it is Emperor Xian or the officials, concubines, and princes who patrolled the east, they all have to maintain their own manners, and their food and clothing expenses must be in accordance with the specifications.
Yudu naturally has no shortage of resources, and all the prefectures and counties around Yudu are loyal to Ji. In Yudu, maintaining the dignity of so many powerful people is naturally not a problem.
But leaving Yudu and relying on these local aristocratic families for support is undoubtedly a squeeze for these local aristocratic families.
The reason why the Yu emperors rarely traveled in the past dynasties is because a trip is not only a huge consumption of resources for the Yu capital, but also a huge burden for the families of various prefectures and counties.
In order to maintain the normal operation of the Yu Dynasty and ensure stability, Emperor Yu would almost never leave Yudu. Therefore, Emperor Yu was also called the Emperor of Yudu, which meant that he would be nothing if he left Yudu.
But this time, Emperor Xian completely ignored these, and with an attitude of fishing from the lake, he forcefully required aristocratic families from various prefectures and counties to support the huge team of Eastern Patrol, squeezing the resources of these aristocratic families.
In the palace, Emperor Xian, who was wearing a crown and a royal robe, was holding a volume of "Qingyuan Fu Jing" and reading it slowly.
As the signature Taoist scripture of Jinhua Mountain, this "Qingyuan Talisman Sutra" is also a required scripture for all Jinhua Mountain monks to enter the mountain. It not only helps the monks to replace the turbid incense, but also helps the monks to reset their Taoist foundation.
Therefore, the "Qingyuan Talisman Scripture" is extremely precious. It is just a version narrated by real people in Jinhua Mountain and copied by family members. There are no annotations on it. The monks need to understand every word and sentence by themselves. mean.
The book in Emperor Xian's hand is completely different. Between the lines of black ink, there are not only many small annotations, but also some light cyan writing next to these annotations.
These light cyan handwritings are chic and unrestrained, but also convey a sense of grandeur. They are obviously tiny and small, but they give people the impression of grandeur.
Looking at the world, Emperor Xian would know who could write such words.
The annotation in neat and square handwriting was annotated by Ji Hong, the second son of Emperor Xian.
The light blue handwriting next to Ji Hong's annotation was written by the True Lord Yuchen Lingyuan of Jinhua Mountain.
The meaning is very obvious, he wanted Emperor Xian to recognize and understand the "Qingyuan Fu Jing" and thus understand the Taoist method.
The official road of the Eastern Expedition is not smooth, but walking on the hundred-foot palace is as smooth as walking on flat ground, and you can't feel the slightest tremor.
Emperor Xian looked through the Taoist Scriptures, and what he cared about were the annotations written by Jiang Sheng himself in the Taoist Scriptures.
A person's character can often be seen through a person's words. In Emperor Xian's view, every Jiang Sheng's annotation in the "Qingyuan Fu Jing" is like a mirror, showing Jiang Sheng's temperament, temperament, and personality. Habits, moods, thoughts unfold before him.
"Qing Yuan, the azure in the east, transforms into the Yuan above, uses the talisman as an annotation to understand the mystery of heaven and earth, the wonder of spiritual truth."
Emperor Xian said slowly. Suddenly, there was a slight noise outside the palace, and within a moment, the noise was calmed down.
A few breaths later, a figure appeared in front of Emperor Xian: "Your Majesty, there are those casual cultivators who don't know the heights of the world. They all look like crazy demons and intend to attack Luan Jia."
Emperor Xian lightly Smiled: "Rogue cultivator?"
"If those casual cultivators can succeed, they won't be oppressed by local aristocratic families all their lives."
"They couldn't make waves in the peaceful times. Now in these troubled times, do they think they can get ahead?"
< br>"Pass on my oral instructions, Jinyunzhou escorts you If it is not good, I will dismiss the governor of Jinyun Prefecture and all the county magistrates. However, because the people of Jinyun Prefecture are not easy to deal with and cause more troubles, I will not impose more punishments. I will increase the tribute of Jinyun Prefecture by 20% to show my mercy. "< br>
The figure immediately bowed and exited after receiving the order.
The pressure that Jin Yunzhou had to bear became a little heavier due to Emperor Xian's light words.
The little prince who was doing his homework seemed to be a little unbearable. Emperor Xian glanced at him and hummed: "How can a group of casual cultivators be able to pass through the blockade of Jinyunzhou's defenders and rush outside my palace?"
“Use your brain in everything. Do these aristocratic families think that by forming an alliance to protect themselves, they can be independent from our great danger?”
< br>“My eastward tour this time is not just to see Jinhua Mountain and meet the True Lord.”
“I’m going to beat these aristocratic families along the way to make them calm down and avoid having to pay any bills. I am in trouble.”
The little prince nodded his head in confusion, and his confused look made Emperor Xian feel a little unmotivated.
If it were the prince he had trained with all his strength, or the older princes here, he would surely understand what Emperor Xian was thinking: when the emperor went on a tour, he was followed by a large number of officials and nobles, and there were also large armies to protect him. Consumption is like a mountain weighing on the heads of states and counties along the way.
Not to mention that the officials and nobles who followed the emperor on patrol were inextricably linked to the local areas. These local states and counties must fully supply the patrol teams.
Otherwise, if other states and counties provide more and you don’t provide, that would be rebellion; if other states and counties provide more and you provide less, that would be disrespectful.
No matter what the reason is, Emperor Xian will find a way to deal with you.
Even if the local states and counties were unwilling to bear the responsibility, they were unable to stop it. After all, Emperor Xian not only brought nobles and officials with him on his tour, but also brought a large army, and a large number of ghosts, gods and monks.
Even other aristocratic families in other prefectures and counties would rush forward at this time, using the name of defending Emperor Xian to carve up everything in this prefecture and county in a reasonable and legal manner, and destroy the bones and marrow of local aristocratic families.
So, this is Emperor Xian's honest and fair squeeze on the various states and counties: consuming the resources of these states and counties, draining their potential, so that even if they have different intentions, they have no ability.
“A great catastrophe is about to occur, the underworld will be in chaos, and the human world will suffer.”
“These aristocratic families don’t care about their own situation, and they still want to take advantage of the chaos?”
“Hmph, my Yu Dynasty is still alive, and it can suppress these rebellious ministers and traitors!” “If I don’t die, a group of snakes and dragons will still want to become a dragon?!”
Looking at the flying flags outside the palace, Emperor Xian seemed to see the dense crowd of kneeling people in the distance, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
On his journey, Emperor Xian passed through many states and counties. It took him more than a year and finally arrived near Jinhua Mountain.
It is said to be nearby, still some distance away from Lingyou Prefecture where Jinhua Mountain is located.
It’s just that these states and counties are completely under the control of Jinhua Mountain. Compared with the chaos and turmoil in other states and counties, the stability of these states and counties made Emperor Xian a little secretly frightened.
What shocked Emperor Xian the most was undoubtedly the monks walking among these prefectures and counties. Many of them almost always carried a tablet with them.
After sending someone to find out, Emperor Xian realized that Xuanqing Temple had been incorporated into the Jinhua Mountain system.
In the future, these prefectures and counties will no longer have to worship Jinhua Mountain and Xuanqing Temple respectively, but only one place, Jinhua Mountain.
At the same time, all Taoist temples and temples in these prefectures and counties have also been merged. The front hall is for ghosts and gods to receive incense and offerings, and the back hall is for monks to meditate and practice.
And the monks will each worship a ghost and god, and the ghost and god will also protect the monks, assist the monks in handling affairs in the place, and suppress those evil spirits.
Emperor Xian was naturally aware of the inextricable connections between Jinhua Mountain and Xuanqing Temple.
Now that Jinhua Mountain and Xuanqing Temple merged, Emperor Xian immediately realized that the Taoist Dharma Assembly called Luotian Dajiao was imminent.
“Jinhua Mountain and Xuanqing Temple are combined, the luck is unified, the incense is unified, the immortal family, ghosts and gods live together in the temple. That true king has great plans.”
“Unfortunately, now No one can control it."
Emperor Xian sighed softly and ordered the army to move on and rush to Lingyou Prefecture as quickly as possible.
Today's Lingyou Prefecture can be said to be the most outstanding place in the entire mountain and sea world.
Jinhua Mountain, the Taoist fairy mountain, stands here to ensure that the entire Lingyou Prefecture has good weather and evil spirits do not dare to approach, let alone those who practice evil to cause trouble.
The reputation of True Lord Yuchen Lingyuan is enough to intimidate millions of miles around and protect a corner of living beings.
After Emperor Xian came to Lingyou Prefecture, he had to admire the peace and stability of Lingyou Prefecture.
It has been less than ten years since the Mingming Nielong disaster, and the entire Lingyou Prefecture has completely smoothed away the scars of the past, showing a peaceful and peaceful world.
And walking on the land of Lingyou Prefecture, no matter where you look, you can see the Jinhua Mountain that emits immeasurable rays of light and mist, and the blue sun hangs high.
But I saw towering mountains stretching for thousands of miles, and a vast sea of clouds covering all directions. On top of the sea of clouds covering the entire Jinhua Mountain, two peaks broke out and pointed straight into the sky. The surroundings were surrounded by auras and ethereal auras.
And between the two peaks that look like pillars supporting the sky, the blue star that emits a clear glow emits a brilliant light that illuminates the entire Lingyou Prefecture.
That round of cyan stars seems to be the second sun in the sky, and it seems to be the eyes of the True Monarch Yuchen Lingyuan. Its brilliant light is awe-inspiring.
Even thousands of miles away, you can see the blue star shining brightly on the sky and the earth, and the continuous fairy palace under the star.
Looking at the palaces and pavilions among the mountains, even Emperor Xian couldn't help but sigh: "Where the bells of heaven and earth are, the Faxiu Jinhua Mountain is beautiful."
"The dojo of Zhenjun Yuchen Lingyuan, It’s really extraordinary.”
The waiter stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, please inform that person. Let him greet you? "
Emperor Xian shook his head and looked in the direction of Jinhua Mountain: "No, that person already knew that I was coming."
Emperor Xian said before he finished speaking. Seeing a beam of skylight coming, several figures appeared in front of Emperor Xian surrounded by auspicious clouds.
The people above the auspicious clouds were all wearing feathered robes and high crowns, with silk draped behind them. They were surrounded by auras of aura, giving them the appearance of an immortal.
The leader bowed slightly to Emperor Xian, and then said loudly: "The true king knows that your majesty has arrived, and has specially ordered us to take your majesty to Jinhua Mountain for a talk."
The officials and nobles around Emperor Xian , the concubines and princes looked at Emperor Xian one after another, not knowing what to do for a moment. After all, they only sent a few people to take Emperor Xian into the mountain. Even if these people were all extraordinary and real immortals, they could not deal with the emperor of Dayu. That said, I still underestimated it.
What's more, they also wanted to go to the fairyland of Jinhua Mountain to see if they could really live longer in it
The Xian Emperor ignored these officials and concubines and their role. Once we get to Lingyou Prefecture, we have just faded away. When the Luotian Festival is held, we can just let them contribute a share of their luck.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Emperor Xian said calmly: "Since you have come to pick me up, where is Yunjia?"
The leader immediately said: "The true king specially ordered us to come to pick up your majesty with the golden ceremony of the great sun. Please welcome the great sun." "Jin Yihu."
Then several people cast spells together, and as a cloud of skylight swayed, a cloud chariot slowly drove out.
The whole body of the cloud chariot is made of gilt, decorated with silver beads and inlaid with jade Taoist patterns. Thousands of Taoist mantras are engraved on both sides of the cloud chariot, all emitting golden light and auspicious mist to highlight the atmosphere of the immortal family. , there is also a golden sunflower cover covering the top, amplifying the brilliance of the sun to show its majesty.
The majesty and solemnity of this golden ritual vehicle of the Great Sun is like the carriage of the Emperor of the Great Sun patrolling the heaven and earth, which is enough to show the dignity of the emperor.
After the Great Sun Jinyi drove out of the sky, a black and yellow light swayed down and landed in front of Emperor Xian, like a fairy road leading to the sky.
Emperor Xian's crown moved slightly, and he left a sentence: "You will camp in Lingyouzhou and wait for my instructions." After that, he set foot on the winding light road, and finally walked above the groups of auspicious clouds. Arrive in front of the Great Sun Jinyi.
Looking at the sun-like canopy in front of him, which exuded golden light and fairy aura, Emperor Xian nodded, and then sat safely on the cloud chariot.
Under the golden glow, Emperor Xian, who was wearing a crown and a royal robe, looked a bit like the Emperor of the Sun who patrolled the heaven and earth.
As the light of day rolled back, those few people guarding the golden sun disappeared into the clouds amid the golden light, leaving only the concubines and princes who came from Yudu. The nobles and officials looked envious: Is Your Majesty going to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal this time?
Emperor Xian, who was sitting in the cloud chariot, immediately felt the extraordinary nature of Jinhua Mountain after entering Jinhua Mountain. This piece of pure sky and earth was really like a fairyland, without any sense of filthiness in the world.
Under the sea of clouds, there are waves of bamboos everywhere, pines and cypresses sing together, and there are groups of Taoist monks, breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and circulating the sky.
Either practicing martial arts, practicing Dharma, practicing swordsmanship, or discussing Taoism. They are free and carefree, and have a Taoist charm.
Above the sea of clouds, in the sparkling glow reflecting the sea of clouds, there are cranes and egrets soaring, in the clear light and rainbow glow lingering between Longjiao Peak, there are waterfalls and flowing springs, and in the looming jade corridor above the sea of clouds, Taiwan There seemed to be human figures in the room, and there were spiritual beasts leaping in the palaces and pavilions on the mountain tops.
There was also the blue sky star that always emitted thousands of rays of light, shining in all directions.
Everything he saw was filled with the atmosphere of the immortal family, which made Emperor Xian feel that it was not impossible to abandon the world and become an immortal.
Under the guidance of the sky light, Yun Nian came all the way unimpeded to the clear sky and stars, and arrived in front of Qingyang Yun Palace.
As the monks resigned, Emperor Xian stepped down from the Golden Sun Palace and saw the door of the majestic Cloud Palace slowly opening in front of him. A man wearing a sapphire Taoist crown and a A young Taoist wearing black clothes and cranes walked out.
There are two children standing behind the Taoist. One is holding a sword and the other is holding a whisk. They both have the aura of pure spirit.
The Taoist's eyes are as clear as stars, and a clear light on the back of his head is spinning endlessly. His face is like a crowned jade, just like a banished immortal. The immortal spirit and aura that leapt out made Emperor Xian know about this person. identity.
Jiang Sheng bowed slowly to Emperor Xian: "Your Majesty, poor Taoist Lingyuan, you are polite." (End of Chapter)
