Dongsheng Shenzhou, Daming Kingdom, Hongnong Mansion, Lingbao Mountain.
As one of the most affluent state capitals in the Ming Dynasty, the weather of Hongnong Mansion is naturally extraordinary, especially this Lingbao Mountain, where the mountains meet the blue clouds, the water leads to secluded springs, the people are outstanding, the trees are luxuriant, and it has been the home of immortals since ancient times. A place of cultivation.
Today's son Zhu Binggui visited here ten years ago, and saw the fairy spirit and beautiful scenery in Lingbao Mountain, so he immediately decided to stay at the foot of Lingbao Mountain, and erected a monument with a poem:
Lingshan Yushui comes out of Luochuan, and the fairy mountains are majestic and majestic.
Today, it is the place where the son of heaven sleeps on the stars, and he can sleep on a beautiful picture of mountains and rivers.
So far, the prosperity of Lingbao Mountain has become even more prosperous than in the past, and literati and inkmen from the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou have come here admiringly, or climb the mountain to find immortals, or travel the mountain with friends, or live in seclusion and practice Zen.
As the mountain god of such a fairy mountain, Xiong Bi is of course under a lot of pressure. Fortunately, his cultivation base is not low, but he is a true fairyland Taoist, so he can manage this Lingbao mountain well.
Of course, the more important thing is that the Ming Dynasty is a country that believes in heaven and Taoism, and the customs of the whole country can be said to be very 'Taoist'.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, laid down two iron laws: First, Empress Nuwa is the holy mother of the human race. All human races have the same origin and ancestors. God's unselfish spirit.
Second, respecting Taoism as the state religion only talks about 'this life' and not 'afterlife'.As a human being in this life, one should put aside the sufferings of the previous life, don't ask for the blessings of the next life, and should 'be good at cultivating this life'.
Therefore, the atmosphere of the entire Ming Dynasty is very simple, and everyone is motivated, because they only practice "this life" and don't talk about the afterlife, so the people of the Ming Dynasty pay the most attention to "this life", and they must do their best in this life. Why suffer in this life and enjoy happiness in the next life This kind of talk doesn't work in the Ming Dynasty. Since I am a human being in this life, I must enjoy the blessings in this life, and I don't know if I can save the blessings in the next life.
Xiong Bi stood in front of Guangqiu Cliff in Lingbao Mountain, looking at the young men who looked like scholars in front of him, it was needless to think that these people must have come to Lingbao Mountain to seek immortals and ask questions again.
Xiong Bi turned into an old man, and shouted to the young people standing on the edge of the cliff: "Young man, come back quickly, the cliff is very windy and dangerous."
Those young people who heard this turned around, and saw that they were all tall and straight, with handsome faces, radiant spirits, long swords on their waists, and green scarves and hair. They didn't look like weak scholars at all.
These young scholars walked up to Xiong Bi, and then took a closer look at Xiong Bi, at this moment one of the scholars said, "What an elder, you are able to climb this Guangqiu cliff, the younger generation admires you."
Another scholar said: "Guangqiu Cliff is full of steep slopes, which are hundreds of feet long. It will take half an hour for me to climb this cliff. How long did it take you, old man?"
Xiong Bi replied slowly: "Let's count it as an hour."
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, they looked at Xiong Bi in surprise, and then another scholar said: "Old man, we are here to seek immortality and ask questions."
"Immortals can't be found, and Taoism can't be found." Xiong Bi said: "Young people should go back and study hard to obtain fame, and don't be delayed by the illusory immortal way."
Several scholars were unhappy when they heard the words, and one of the scholars even said bluntly: "The old man's words are not pleasant."
"Fame and fame are what you want, and you can also seek immortality." The leading scholar said with emotion: "I want them all!"
And the tallest scholar said: "Please take a look." He pointed to the peaks of Lingbao Mountain around Guangqiu Cliff, and said: "A poet named Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty in Nanzhan Buzhou once said:' It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see all the mountains and small ones. Today, our holy dynasty has gone through Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Taizong Wen, Emperor Sejongwu, and the four generations of today's sages, who have made great efforts to rule and expand the territory. The entire Dongsheng Shenzhou has been included in the border. , Looking at the four major continents, our Ming Dynasty dominates Dongsheng Shenzhou alone, and it can be said that we will be the top of the mountain and see all the small mountains at a glance."
The leading scholar said: "Do you remember 'Lianyu City'?"
When the scholars heard the words, they immediately said, "Why don't you remember? What happened to the number one scholar 15 years ago?"
The leading scholar said: "After Lian Yucheng won the first prize in the examination, he won the honor of the Hanlin Academy, but he took the initiative to ask the emperor to play, and wanted to go to Nanzhan Buzhou to study. Although the emperor was surprised, he still gave him a car. Ma Jinbo, allow him to go to Nanzhan Buzhou to study, and he returned to the capital Miansheng a month ago."
"Oh?" All the scholars suddenly opened their eyes wide, and quickly asked: "Then what is the result of his study tour?"
The leading scholar said: "He only presented two treasures to the Holy Son of Heaven. One is the Nanzhan Buzhou countries, mainly the territory, mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty. The other is all the administrative programs of the Tang Dynasty in recent decades. , achievements and losses, the general book of emperors, officials, court customs and folk customs."
Hearing this scholar's words, the rest of the scholars gasped, and finally the leading scholar said: "After the Holy Son of Heaven got these two treasures, Long Yan was very happy, and immediately rewarded Lian Yucheng, and promoted him to be a bachelor of the Imperial Academy!"
The scholars were not too surprised by the award that Lian Yucheng received. After traveling abroad for 15 years and making such a great contribution to the Ming Dynasty, the official position of a scholar of the Imperial Academy is not too much.
"So there will be many people who invite you to study in this subject. I also have this ambition. What do you think?" the leading scholar asked.
Hearing the words, all the scholars were filled with boundless pride and ambition, and saw the tallest scholar 'Qiang Lang' draw out his long sword all his life and said: "It is difficult and dangerous for a man to achieve fame and wealth, but why should he be afraid?"
After hearing this, several other people pulled out their long swords at their waists, and they swore together on the cliff.
"Okay, now that you have made your ambitions and vows, can you go down the mountain?" Xiong Bi asked a group of scholars.
The scholars withdrew their long swords, then turned their heads to look at Xiong Bi and said with a smile, "Don't worry, old man, I'll go down the mountain after this."
Then all the scholars went down the mountain together with Xiong Bi, when Xiong Bi walked to the back, those scholars in front found that Xiong Bi fell behind, they stopped immediately and turned around to look for Xiong Bi's figure.
But seeing Xiong Bi standing on a big bluestone halfway up Guangqiu Cliff, he said to the scholars: "When you go back, you will be a good student and get a good name. In the future, you will work for the well-being of the world and all living beings, and make peace."
Finally, Xiong Bi said: "As for seeking immortality, there is no need for it. How can there be any immortals in this world? It's just the vain words of the world."
After finishing speaking, Xiong Bi pinched the magic formula with his hands, stepped on the blue clouds and flew into the depths of the white clouds in Lingbao Mountain and disappeared.
All the scholars watched Xiong Bi flying into the depths of Lingbao Mountain with dumbstruck eyes. After a long while, they could only look at each other, and then saluted towards the place where Xiong Bi disappeared.
After Xiong Bi persuaded those scholars to get off the cliff, he returned to Shanshen Mansion.
But when he returned to the gate of the Shanshen Mansion, he found that his generals Patrol the Mountain, General Yushan, and Fenshan were all waiting outside the temple. When they saw him coming back, they immediately rushed up to greet him.
"Tiger!" General Patrol quickly said after saluting, "Here comes the judiciary god."
"Who?" Xiong Bi asked in surprise.
The general patrolling the mountain said: "God of justice, Zhenjun Hongqing is here."
Xiong Bi was taken aback, "Are you sure it's Hongqing Zhenjun? Isn't it General Lei from the Ministry of Lei?"
"It's really Zhenjun Hongqing, who is waiting for you in the palace hall now." General Xunshan said.
Xiong Bi was astonished, and murmured: "Why is it the True Monarch Hongqing? Shouldn't it be the gods and generals of the Thunder Department?"
But Xiong Bi didn't dare to neglect, and immediately led the three generals Xunshan, Yushan, and Fenshan into the main hall of Shanshen Mansion, and sure enough, he saw a young man who was full of vigor and majesty, who was described as majestic, sitting in the main hall. Beside him stood a dark boy.
"Xiong Bi, God of Lingbao Mountain, pays homage to True Lord Hongqing." Xiong Bi quickly walked up to Fang Jian, bowed his head and bowed.
Fang Jian stretched out his hand and said, "You don't need to be polite, you are the one who said that there are evil spirits gathering in Lingbao Mountain, intending to rebel against the Heavenly Court?"
"Yes." Xiong Bi said, "Real Monarch Hui Hongqing, I originally played the Dongtian Mansion first, but recently the Taoist biography of the 'Changyang God's Tomb' is about to come down to the world, so the Dongtian Mansion can't assign a manpower, so I uploaded the melody. Tongcheng Institute. At this time, the Tongcheng Institute should have submitted it to the Lei Department, but I did not expect that it was you, Zhenjun Hongqing, who came."
Fang Jian smiled indifferently, and said: "The Tongcheng Academy directly delivered the memorial to me, and I will naturally take over this matter. Do you know where those evil spirits gather? Is there a specific place?"
Xiong Bi shook his head and said, "Real Monarch Hui Hongqing, I don't know the location, and the little demon who came to report couldn't explain the specific location."
Fang Jian said: "Bring up the little monster who reported it."
Xiong Bi turned to General Patrol and said, "General Patrol, hurry up and bring the little demon Hancai."
"Yes." The mountain patrol general bowed and sang, then turned and walked out of the mountain temple.
Not long after, the patrolling general returned to the mountain temple, and came back with him was a ten-year-old little monster with green-red hair, wearing thin sackcloth, and barefoot.
After the little monster entered the main hall, he kowtowed to Xiong Bi first, and then Xiong Bi pointed to Fang Jian and said to him, "This is Hongqing Zhenjun, the god of justice."
The little monster kowtowed three more times to Fang Jian, and Fang Jian said with a smile on his face, "Don't be too polite, help her up."
The general patrolling the mountain immediately helped the little monster up, at this moment Fang Jian asked, "What's your name?"
"Han Cai." The little monster blinked and said to Fang Jian.
Xiong Bi explained at this time: "Zhenjun Hongqing, this little demon is a Hancai, and his name is also Hancai."
"It can be seen." Fang Jian nodded, and then asked Hancai, "You reported someone who wanted to rebel against Heaven?"
"Yes." Hancai said: "In vain he said that he was the son of the Ruichen Yaowang, and that his father Ruichen Yaowang was killed by the heavenly court, so he often summoned us little demons and said that he would build the heavenly court against."
Fang Jian asked again: "Is his name Bai Bai?"
"Yes." Hancai nodded and said, "But I don't think he can do it. He may not even be able to beat a tiger, but he said he can do it, and he also said that he will kill the heaven sooner or later."
Fang Jian smiled when he heard the words, and then asked, "Then why did you report him?"
Hancai immediately said indignantly: "He promised me that as long as I was his subordinate, he would give me a basket of sweet potatoes, but in the end he only gave me half a basket. How about half a basket? I ate it up in five days. I was not convinced and went to him to reason, and he even called me not a vegetable, but a fat pig with a gluttonous appetite. I was very angry, I was clearly a vegetable! But I couldn't beat him, so I came to the Shanshen Mansion to report him."
Fang Jian couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. It seems that no matter where he is, this deduction of wages will cause accidents.
