Chapter 1 Preface
There are many countries in the ten directions, and many powerful people have emerged. Since the prehistoric era, the great way of heaven and earth has descended on all directions, and a group of magical powers that shocked the universe have emerged. During this period, the countries have been killing and attacking, and the people of the world are regarded as straw dogs, and their supernatural powers are changing with each passing day.
With the continuous wars among the countries, many supernatural powers have emerged to pacify the wars and save the people of all directions from water and fire. These people have traveled to various countries to educate the people with the Tao of the saints, hoping to turn swords into jade and silk with their own strength; or to study the stars and constellations of heaven and earth to seek relief; or to establish religions and schools to spread the law to the world. Even so, they still cannot stop the continuous war.
More magical people enjoy fish and meat. They are full of evil and evil laws, and there are even people who eat people with flesh and blood. Fifty thousand years ago, the emperor of Hongwu Kingdom, Zhu Yuanxin, realized that the great way of heaven and earth entered the realm of Tao. His martial arts were invincible in the world, and he inspired the wisdom of the people, wiped out evil and promoted people's livelihood. He claimed that he was the devil-destroying Heavenly King to conquer various countries. After more than 300 years of sweeping across the ten directions, opening up the Hongwu Yuan Dynasty.
In the 3,200th year of Hongwu, the Demon-Dangling Heavenly Lord promulgated the "Law" to manage all the supernatural powers in the world. Gradually, those with supernatural powers sensed that the connection with the great way of heaven and earth disappeared. The supernatural powers in the world were afraid that the "Law" could not be able to sense the way of heaven. The supernatural powers led by the heads of the 108 sects killed the Demon-Dangling Heavenly Lord in the Hongwu Hall on the grounds of signing the rules.
The second demon-striking Heavenly Lord may appear in the 108 sects, so they used their magical powers to open up Shangyaotian. The Hongwu Kingdom was divided into 324 countries, and each sect ruled its three countries, and set up a formation of heaven and earth to attract the spiritual power of the ten directions to nourish Shangyaotian.
Since then, the Taoist traditions of the ten directions collapsed, and one hundred and eight sects dominated the emperors and the country of the human world. The ten directions no longer allowed to spread Taoist traditions, and major sects destroyed the cultivation techniques and practice relics of the ten directions. If people in the ten directions want to cultivate immortality and achieve enlightenment, they can only go to the sects belonging to Shangyaotian.
However, those with supernatural powers are more beneficial than those of the countries in the ten directions. Under the management of some sects, the people are not fed or have serious illnesses. At this point, the people's wisdom is reduced and the people respect the sects as much as heaven and earth.
The imperial power and the country are no longer as important as before. A change of emperor is just a sentence from Shangyao Sect, and those who do not listen to the greeting will be killed directly. The people in the ten directions are like birds in cages and cannot help themselves, and then they enter the Dharma-Ending Age.
In the Ming Yan Kingdom Palace, a plaque with black gold nanmu hanging at the top of the red vermilion gate, with three big characters "Prince's Mansion" on it.
In the garden of the Prince's Mansion, a young man with thin eyes and willow eyebrows, wearing a white fur, and a fat man in a vest, showing a reluctance and expression was talking about something.
The little fat man said to the young man in white: "Brother, don't you think about it anymore? I went to Shangyaotian and was just the most ordinary disciple of the immortal sect. I am not as good as I am now."
The young man in white put down the silk fan in his hand and said with a firm look on his face: "When I visited all countries that day, I could not calm down my mood for a long time. I just felt that what I wanted and learned was just a small path. Besides, I had no intention of being the position of the prince. There has been more than two hundred years since the Mingyan Kingdom, no one has been worshipped in Shangyao Immortal Sect. When I cultivate the immortal path, I will come back to see you, and my sister Ruoxi. My father is old and will be passed down to you in a few years. You must work hard to seek welfare for the people of Mingyan Kingdom."
The little fat man buried his head and said, "Hey, brother, I will work hard, but I'm afraid everyone will not be able to bear to leave you."
The conversation was about the fifteen-year-old prince Peng Fei of Mingyan Kingdom and his fourteen-year-old younger brother Peng Hao.
Peng Fei mentioned the incident of Dingkang State, and once, he went to Dingkang State with talented men from all over the country to appreciate flowers and recite poems with talented people from Mingyan. Because Dingkang State's natural disasters were every year, the people did not wrap their clothes and could not fill their stomachs.
The Emperor of Dingkang could not bear the suffering of the people, so he took out some of the tributes of the year to help the victims. However, Dingkang was furious because he could not complete the tributes required by the door-to-door explanation. Before the Emperor of Dingkang explained, he killed him on the spot. He was even more angry that there were too many tributes of the victims and directly used his magical powers to kill most of the victims.
The National Master Dingkang Kingdom, who had killed the victims, even sent a voice from heaven and earth with his magical powers: "Since you can't eat enough, it's better to kill some of them and let the rest be full."
After this incident, Peng Fei often had nightmares, dreaming that he had become Emperor Dingkang who had a different body and head without waiting for explanation.
After that, the Prince Peng Fei, who was regarded as a poetic immortal by the Kingdom of Yan, disappeared. Only Peng Fei, who was respectful to the national master and wanted to enter the immortal sect, was saddled in front of the national master and was behind the horse.
The national teacher of Mingyan Kingdom was not a vicious person like the national teacher of Dingkang Kingdom. The national teacher also admired Peng Fei's cleverness and talent very much. After the tribute was completed last year, when the national teacher was drunk at the banquet, Peng Fei boldly asked repeatedly. The national teacher Luo Tu Taoist fulfilled Peng Fei's intention to seek Taoism and made an exception and agreed to accept Peng Fei as a registered disciple.
In the Yanguoyu study, red candles flashed, bright and warm, with sandalwood tables and chairs and purple gold beds.
The Emperor of Mingyan Kingdom looked worried and stared at Peng Fei who came to ask for the prince to change his position and asked: "Seeking immortals and asking for the cliff is like climbing a rock cliff. If you don't live, you will die. Are you really planning?"
Peng Fei, who was only fifteen years old, had a bright light in his eyes and said firmly: "My son has been thinking about it for a long time. Although the path of immortality is difficult, it is also what his minister wants. I know that my father is devoted to the country and the people, but the power of the emperor is still merciless. My son hopes that my father can agree to the change of power and let me be a free and easy person to seek immortality and ask for the Tao."
The Emperor of Mingyan turned around and looked at the full moon in the night sky outside the study window and thought deeply: "Forget it! Since you have his will, you promised you. It's just that the years of cultivation will never last forever. Remember not to be eager for quick success in everything."
"My son knows, thank you for your father's fulfillment." Peng Fei looked at his father with a trace of grayness and felt a sense of sorrow.
Peng Yu knew that even if he stopped him, the national teacher intended to accept Fei'er as his disciple. Even if he was reluctant to give up, he could only agree to this matter. He could only give his son a few words, and at the same time hoped that his son would achieve something in the future, realize his ambitions and ideals, and no longer be a royal child who was held by others.
After the two talked, the Emperor of Mingyan State ordered the imperial kitchen to set up a table of wine and food in the study, and called the queen and the new crown prince Peng Hao, and several princes who had a good relationship with Peng Fei but were not yet grown up. Before Peng Fei left, he was close to his son who was only fifteen years old but had ambitions not to admire the imperial power of the world. At this time, there were still two years before the new national master took office as the old emperor to abdicate.
Two years passed by, and tomorrow was the ceremony for the old emperor of the Ming Yan Kingdom to abdicate and the new crown prince ascended the throne. It was also the day when Peng Fei and the national teacher Luo Tu Taoist left the Ming Yan Kingdom and went to Chixianmen. At this time, the streets of the capital were filled with lights, and pedestrians were bustling with a different atmosphere. The princes and officials from all over the country and people from all walks of life came to the capital to witness this rare festive day in Yan Kingdom.
The key to arousing the interest of the people is that the Chixian Sect has not accepted any disciples in the Yan Kingdom of the Ten Directions for more than two hundred years. Only the former crown prince Peng Fei was able to be accepted as a registered disciple by the national teacher Luo Tu Taoist. It is only because compared with other countries, the thalassinated people in the Mingyan Kingdom have few talented people, so they are more willing to accept disciples in other countries.
The ceremony process has long been posted inside and outside the imperial city, and many people are watching the posting ceremony process content.
The general content of the process on the Red Festive List is:
The first item: The current national master of the Chixian Sect handed over to the new national master, and the new national master will bless the old emperor Peng Yu who is about to abdicate.
The second item: Luo Tu Taoist and Peng Fei took a gift to the Chixian Gate in Shangyao.
The third item is the throne ceremony of the new emperor.
On the bustling streets of the Imperial City, there were only a group of officers and soldiers pressing the annual tributes and gifts from all over the country into the inner city.
Early the next morning, all the palace personnel and officials from all over the country burned incense in front of Xuanwu Palace early in the morning. When the national teacher Luo Tu Taoist lit the incense in his hand and inserted it into the four-legged incense burner in the middle, a ray of glow flashed from the clouds, and a few cries of cranes came from the sky. Three Taoists wearing red and Taoist robes with the Red Immortal Gate logo were walked from the clouds.
The logo of Shangyaotian Chixian Gate is a mark of a Suzaku who spreads his wings in a sun totem.
The three Taoists followed the sunset and landed on the viewing platform in front of Xuanwu Palace. The old emperor Peng Yu first submitted a memorial to explain his situation in governing this Jiazi, and at the same time praised the merits of the Chixian Sect. Then the prime minister presented the ritual book.
When the old emperor Peng Yu finished the report, the new national teacher in the national tutor's uniform took out a bottle of pills from his arms and handed it to the old emperor Peng Yu. This bottle of pills is the so-called blessing. Mortals who take pills can prolong their lives and live for decades is no problem. In Shangyaotian, this bottle of pills is just a bottle of spirit-enhancing pills that ordinary disciples can receive every month.
A wrinkled Taoist said to another Taoist who was young but wearing a goatee wearing a national teacher's uniform: "Junior Brother Qingshui and Senior Brother Luo Zheng will send you to the post here. You can go and hand over the national teacher's hand seal with Senior Brother Luo Tu and take over as the national teacher."
But the Taoist, known as Luo Zheng, closed his eyes and let the Buddha wander in the fairyland.
After the new and old national master handed over the seal of the national master, Taoist Luo Zheng looked at the Sui Gonghe and the gifts in the square, and came to Luotu Taoist and Peng Fei, stared at Peng Fei and said, "Senior Brother, this is the registered disciple you have accepted? It looks handsome, but it has a charming feeling... But it is good for the senior brother to receive disciples in the poor mountains and rivers of Mingyan Country, but he just doesn't know what qualifications are. When I accept the secular things below, let's go back. The rest is just to ask Junior Brother Qingshui to make the decision by himself."
When Luo Zhengdao Ren looked at Peng Fei, Peng Fei bowed respectfully to Luo Zhengdao Ren. Peng Fei's behavior made Luo Zhengdao Ren feel a little more affection for this young man named Peng Fei.
Although Taoist Luo Zheng called out to senior brother Luo Tu, it was not difficult to hear that he had a contemptuous tone and ridicule. Although they were all national teachers, Qi State and Ming Yan State were not comparable.
Although the national teacher is good, he is not as good as being in the Chixian Sect. Here, the resources and spiritual energy of practice are scarce. He also needs to complete the tribute assigned by the sect. However, the State of Yan is only the most remote and scarce country among the Three Kingdoms under the Chixian Sect.
Taoist Luo Zheng took out a gourd magic weapon from his waist, swept it into the square, and put all the gold, silver, fine, soft and precious medicinal materials into the gourd. This time, the annual tribute in Mingyan Kingdom was much more than before. The old emperor Peng Yu thought that since Peng Fei could worship the Chixian Sect, he could not seem shabby in front of others when Taoist Luotu and Peng Fei left.
This year's tribute and gifts are equivalent to half the income of the entire Yan Kingdom this year. Taoist Luo Zheng read the gift list casually and threw it into the gourd. After that, the emperor and all officials presented tea to the four immortal masters who came, and respectfully sent Taoist Luo Tu and his party to the Chi Immortal Gate of Shangyaotian.
Taoist Xiao and Taoist Luo Zheng stepped onto the crane, and took out the gourd from their sleeves and flew towards the sky. Taoist Luo Tu had no magic weapon to ride on his mount, so he could only wave his sleeves and rolled up Peng to fly to the sky.
Peng Fei only felt a stream of air swept into the sky, thinking that he would be as casual as several immortal masters in the future. When Peng Fei adapted to the art of controlling the air, he was about to look back, but he found that the imperial city had already become a small dot in the distance. He could only see fireworks rising from afar, thinking that it was the beginning of the new emperor's ascension ceremony.
As he flew along the way, Peng Fei felt that his legs were a little weak after flying for almost a few hours. He saw a towering green mountain surrounded by mist. When he passed through the thin rain and fog in front of the mountain, his ears were buzzing with a tingling pain. When he came to his senses, he found himself and Taoist Luo Tu came to a mountain gate. The mountain gate was simple, and the three big words "Chinxianmen" were engraved on the big door plaque.
