I'm an immortal in heaven

Chapter 399 Xun Kuang Leaves Office

Nanzhan Buzhou, the Tang Dynasty, and the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace.

After singing the ceremony at the court, the civil and military officials performed their duties in turn, and then Li Hong discussed with the ministers.

After discussing the affairs of the court, Li Hongchao asked Prime Minister Yu Jiang, "Does Aiqing know the real Fang Jian of Hongqing from the upper realm?"

"Fang Jian, the real Hongqing?" Yu Jiang was a little strange when he heard the words, and said respectfully, "Why did your majesty ask this person?"

Li Hong said blankly: "Last night, an upper realm deity who claimed to be the judicial deity of the Heavenly Court, Fang Jian, and whose Taoist name was Hong Qing, showed me his dream."

"Huh?" Yu Jiang was very surprised, and said, "Nahong Qing is indeed an immortal official in the upper realm, but he is the official in charge of the law of heaven, why would he show his majesty a dream?"

In fact, after Fang Jian was blocked by Zhang Liang last night, he did not appear holy at all, but directly appeared in front of Li Hong in his real body.

It's just that Li Hong at that time couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream, so at this moment, he just regarded it as the real person Hongqing showing his sanctity and entrusting his dream.

Yu Jiang has been honored by the heavenly court, just like Wei Zheng back then, the emperor Li Hong and the important officials in the court must have known about this.

So if you want to ask about the upper realm, you should naturally ask Yu Jiang.

Li Hongdao: "Realist Hongqing asked Zhen Miefo to exclude Shu County in a dream, saying that he owed Puxian Bodhisattva a favor in Mount Emei."

"It turns out that it's about repaying favors." Yu Jiang smiled lightly.

Li Hong looked at Yu Jiang and said, "What's Ai Qing's opinion?"

Yu Jiang's expression changed when he heard the words, and then he said: "Your Majesty, since it is the request of this real Hongqing, Your Majesty may as well agree."

"Oh?" Li Hong asked: "Could it be that there is something special about this Daoist Hongqing?"

Yu Jiang stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please listen to me slowly."

So Yu Jiang briefly described a series of major events that happened between Fang Jian's appointment as the Mountain God of Duanjie and the death of Chaohu Dragon King's family.

But he can only be brief. After all, his immortal official is only Yao Xun, and he can only know the outline of some events in the heavenly court, but not the details.

But despite this, Fang Jian pacified Xihua, suppressed the Baotanhua Bodhisattva, drove Buddhism out of Dongsheng Shenzhou, assisted the heavens to clear the heretics and true demons, and weakened the power of Taoism in Dongsheng Shenzhou, especially the Chaohu Dragon King family. It shocked Li Hong.

"This Hongqing real person is so legendary." Li Hong was amazed after hearing this, and said with emotion: "I am really ignorant."

Yu Jiang smiled faintly, not to mention being ignorant, you are the emperor, it is normal that you don't know about the affairs of heaven.

At the same time, Li Hong thought of Yu Jiang's description of Fang Jian's execution of the Chaohu Dragon King's family.
No wonder his eyes are so frightening, being watched secretly by such a statue, just thinking about it makes him panic.

"Since that's the case, let's be the favor of Daoist Hongqing." Li Hong said with a smile.

Then Li Hong said to Yu Jiang: "Aiqing can draw up an order to Shu County to order the prefect of Shu County to suspend the extermination of Buddhism. The extermination of Buddha this time does not include Shu County. But Buddhist disciples from other places must not be allowed to enter Shu County. Anyone who violates the order will be executed!" "

"Follow the order!" Yu Jiang bowed and bowed.

"Wait a minute." Li Hong said when Yu Jiang received the edict: "It must be written clearly in the edict, and it is said that the real person Hongqing shows his sage and shows his kindness. order to exclude Shu County from exterminating Buddha
.However, all Buddhist monasteries in Shu County must hand over the temple land, and no one can enter the temple within ten years. "

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yu Jiang bowed to receive the order.

Soon after, the imperial edict was drawn up, and after Li Hong stamped the jade seal, he immediately sent it to Shu County in an expedited three thousand miles.

When this edict was delivered to Shu County, the whole Shu County was shaken.

There are many followers of Buddhism in Shu County. After the edict to exterminate Buddhism was issued, many people in Shu County went to the government to ask for orders, hoping that the government would be lenient.

The prefect of Shu County is also very troubled by this, but the imperial edict must be obeyed, so now the progress of destroying Buddha in Shu County has been halfway through.

When the edict came, the prefect of Shu County finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered to stop destroying the Buddha, and the expelled monks were also sent back.

Emei Mountain, Sheshen Cliff Sheshen Temple.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, who was sitting on the lotus platform, opened his eyes, and the originally compassionate treasure immediately smiled.

I saw Puxian Bodhisattva turned his head, and said to the big disciple beside him, "How is the human relationship of the three wonderful golden lotus seeds?"

Jing Na, as the Immortal of Taiyi Xuan, knew about it when the imperial edict had just been sent to Shu County.

At this moment, Jing Na looked at Samantabhadra Bodhisattva reverently, then joined hands and sang 'Amitabha Buddha', and said: "Master has a wonderful plan."

Puxian Bodhisattva shook his head, and said, "It's not my clever plan, but this Daoist Hongqing has enough face to allow the emperor to do him favor."

Jing Na said: "In this way, the Buddhism of our Shu County is the only preserved inheritance in the Tang Dynasty."

"That's right." Samantabhadra Bodhisattva said, "As long as there is our Buddhist sect in Shu County, it will be much easier for me to return to the East and re-enter the Tang Dynasty."

As soon as Puxian Bodhisattva finished speaking, a beam of Buddha's light suddenly fell outside the main hall of the Sacrifice Temple.

Puxian Bodhisattva immediately raised his hand and looked out of the hall, and then saw a monk wearing a black cassock and walking into the hall.

When Jing Na saw this person, he immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Venerable Rahula."

The person who came was Rahula, one of the top ten disciples of Shakyamuni, the 'No. [-] in secret practice'.

Rahula paid homage to Jingna by singing the Buddha's name, and then came to Puxian Bodhisattva and said: "Rahula pays homage to Puxian Bodhisattva."

"Amitabha." Samantabhadra clasped his hands together and sang the Buddha's name: "Why do fellow Taoists come here?"

Rahula said in ten words: "I am here to read out my Buddhist teachings."

When Puxian Bodhisattva heard the words, he stood up immediately, walked down the lotus platform slowly and worshiped: "Listen respectfully to my Buddha's decree."

And the disciples of Puxian Bodhisattva in the main hall also gathered behind Puxian Bodhisattva, worshiping together: "Listen respectfully to my Buddha's teaching."

Rahula went to the hall, and then sang loudly: "I am the Buddha's teaching, and Puxian took the initiative to save my Buddhist lineage in Shu County. I have made outstanding contributions. I am honored as 'Mahayana Huisheng', and I am 'Mahayana Huisheng Puxian. Bodhisattva', in charge of all Buddhist affairs in the Tang Dynasty."

When Puxian Bodhisattva heard the words, he immediately bowed down and said, "My disciples kowtow to thank my Buddha, and wish my Buddha infinite eons and boundless dharma power."

When Puxian Bodhisattva was awarded the honorary title by the Buddha, the Buddhist Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in other places did not have such a good time.

Outside Shu County, all the temples of Buddha and Bodhisattva were demolished, the statues of Buddha were confiscated or directly destroyed, and all the Buddhist disciples in the monasteries were forced to return to secular life.

At the same time, an undercurrent began to surge between those Buddhist monks and great virtues and Taoist monks and great virtues.

But all of this has nothing to do with Fang Jian for the time being, because he has just received news that Xun Kuang, who has been in charge of the Tian Court for nearly a million years, has left his post, and a new head of the Tian Court is about to take office.

Fang Jian and the heavenly judges who went out to various places returned to the heavenly court as soon as they received the news.
