Volume 3: The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Chapter 450: The Invincible Great Zhunti
The Queen Mother and the two emperors finalized the meeting of immortals and saints, and began to prepare to invite all three realms.
"Your Majesty, please wait a minute!" The Great Emperor Changsheng suddenly spoke.
Yao Chi asked, "What else does the Great Emperor want?"
The Great Emperor Changsheng replied: "First, invite the saints of the three paths of heaven, earth, and man to come to the Heavenly Court for a discussion, and then invite all the gods to attend the meeting!"
The Jade Emperor's expression changed: "My royal brother is worried..."
The Great Emperor Changsheng smiled and said, "The Heavenly Law is a major issue. It cannot be promoted without the support of the saints. I invite the saints to discuss it first to show respect for our Heavenly Court. I have no other intentions. The Great Heavenly Venerable is worrying too much."
This statement was so flawless that the Jade Emperor almost believed it.
The Queen Mother of the West stared at the Emperor of Longevity for a long time, but could not see any change on his face. She smiled and shook her head.
"The Emperor is truly a man of ideas!"
"Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment!"
The Great Emperor Changsheng narrowed his starry eyes slightly and bowed modestly.
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother both looked at the Eternal Emperor, vaguely guessing something, and they were afraid that something interesting would happen next.
So, the Jade Emperor personally wrote the invitation, asked the Queen Mother to review it, and then sent someone to deliver it to the saints' temples.
The Six Saints of Heaven, Hou Tu of Earth, and the Holy Emperor of Humanity.
There are eight saints in total, and the Heavenly Court cannot lose its courtesy, so it needs to send eight powerful beings from heaven and earth to invite them.
Fortunately, the Emperor of Heaven had saved some wealth for himself before he ascended the throne, otherwise it would not be enough.
"Taibai, Tianheng, Wuqu, go and invite the Three Pure Ones to discuss matters." The Jade Emperor summoned, and Taibai, Jinxing and the other two stepped out.
"As you wish!"
The Jade Emperor then looked to the right and pointed at two immortals: "Barefoot Immortal, Tianshu Star Lord, go to the West and invite the two saints to join you."
The barefoot immortal, Chi Jiao, the master of Jinting Mountain, was the first to surrender to Haotian after being repeatedly frightened by Mingyu.
He and Tianshu Xingjun stepped forward and responded, "As ordered!"
The Jade Emperor pointed to the five mighty ones of heaven and earth, and then he stopped talking and sat there like a wooden statue. The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.
She looked at the two leading figures in the group of female fairies. The one in white had cherry blossoms on her lips, as clear as the snow; the one in green had delicate features and bright eyes.
The Queen Mother said, "Xuan Nu, Qing Zhao, you two go and invite Nuwa and Hou Tu, the two goddesses."
The two female fairies came out together and received the order from the Queen Mother.
Xuannv went to the sky, and Qingzhao entered the underworld.
The Great Emperor Changsheng summoned Lord Shui Yaochen and said, "Go to the Qingdi Garden on Mount Tai and invite the Holy Emperor Fuxi."
"I will obey the Emperor's orders!"
Lord Shui Yaochen received the order and went down to the mortal world, heading straight to Mount Tai.
Not long.
Green waves rose in the East China Sea, and with a bull's roar, the Shangqing Saint Tongtian Master rode out of Jin'ao Island on a Kui bull.
The clouds on Mount Tai were startled, yin and yang changed, the eight trigrams came into harmony, six green dragons took to the sky, and Fuxi rode the thunder chariot straight up to the thirty-third heaven.
The two met at the East Gate of Heaven and entered together.
On the sacred mountain in the west, lotus flowers grow on the flat ground. Two saints of the Western religion step on the pure lotus without any dust or dirt and go straight into the thirty-three heavens, entering through the west gate of the heaven.
White cranes from Kunlun formed a formation to clear the way, and with a dragon's roar, the Jade Purity Sage Yuanshi Tianzun rode on a four-legged beast and entered from the south gate of the Heavenly Palace.
The green ox rises on the clouds, and Laozi, the Taoist saint of Taiqing, rides the green ox from the east and enters the east gate of the heaven.
Purple air comes from the east for thirty thousand miles, and the clear air fills the universe. Billions of golden lamps are shining, and fragrant lotus flowers are growing in the west.
The six saints bowed their heads in greeting.
The colorful rays of light from the sky are as gorgeous as brocade and satin.
The Six Saints looked up.
Then I saw the mysterious light coming out of the nine abysses, with a magnificent scene.
The Six Saints turned sideways.
Nuwa and Houtu arrived almost at the same time.
Laozi smiled and said, "The two ladies have arrived."
The saints nodded and greeted each other.
Eight saints ascended to the heavenly palace. This was the most numerous and most gathered saints in the world since the last catastrophe.
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi has attained the Dao of Hunyuan, but I haven't congratulated you in person yet!" Master Tongtian looked at Fuxi, who was silent, and joked.
"That's right, that's right. If Mount Tai were not so far away from the Western Land, I would go and congratulate you in person." Zhunti had a smile on his face and always looked cheerful.
"My two fellow Taoists, please stop teasing me." Fuxi waved his hands repeatedly, his voice as gentle as pearls and jade.
Laozi Yuanshi and Jie Yin also chatted for a while.
Nuwa and Houtu looked at each other.
Nuwa smiled and made a gesture with her mouth towards Houtu.
Hou Tu's face was calm, but the jade palm in her sleeve was unconsciously clenched.
All the saints came, and the Queen Mother and the two emperors welcomed them.
After exchanging pleasantries, they sat down as host and guest in Lingxiao Hall.
The Jade Emperor did not sit on the Heavenly Throne, and the Queen Mother did not sit on the Golden Phoenix Chair.
The Great Emperor Changsheng also removed the throne.
There were only eleven cushions in the main hall.
The saints nodded slightly when they saw this.
Everyone took their seats.
The Queen Mother spoke, "The Heavenly Court has been established for over a hundred thousand years. We wish to perfect the Heavenly Laws to demonstrate the authority of Heaven and to represent the order of the prehistoric world. We invite the saints to come here to seek their opinions."
When the saints saw that it was the Queen Mother who spoke first, they exchanged glances and said in their hearts, "As expected."
Fuxi said, "The Heavenly Court wishes to invite us to sit down and discuss the laws of Heaven. We agree to this."
The other saints listened and nodded.
Especially the Six Saints of Heaven, the Heavenly Court did not bypass them when revising the Heavenly Rules, which made them very satisfied.
Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother secretly thought that it was a good thing that she listened to the advice of the Emperor of Longevity, otherwise she would have offended the eight saints this time.
"I wonder what advice the saint has?" the Queen Mother asked seriously.
The Sage Zhunti smiled and said, "Since you are promulgating the Heavenly Law, I wonder what kind of writing should be used to record it? You must know that the saying "writing carries the truth" is not empty talk. If the Heavenly Court wants to establish the Heavenly Law and spread it throughout the Three Realms and Six Paths, so that all beings will believe it, then they should establish a written Heavenly Law and spread it throughout the Three Realms."
The Queen Mother was slightly stunned when she heard this, and she looked at the Emperor Changsheng.
The Jade Emperor, who was made of clay and made of wood, did not move.
Nuwa and Houtu seemed to be thinking about something.
Fuxi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Saint Taiqing frowned slightly.
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the Saint Zhunti meaningfully.
Tongtian twitched his lips and sneered.
"Brother Zhunti , your remarks are full of wit and wisdom, so you must have some profound ideas. Why don't you tell us what you think and let us hear them?"
Zhunti's smile remained unchanged. "Without the establishment of astronomy, it will be difficult to formulate the laws of heaven, and even more difficult to demonstrate the power of heaven. Therefore, to perfect the laws of heaven, astronomy should be established first. Moreover, astronomy needs the approval of all living beings. In this sense, it requires the written language of all living beings."
Having said this, Zhunti paused.
At this time, the faces of the Three Pure Ones had already turned a little dark.
They vaguely guessed something.
really.
Zhunti saw that the saints had no intention of continuing the conversation, so he spoke again: "In order to open the door for all living beings, my brother and I combined the power of the religion to create a new script - Sanskrit.
This text has been circulated in the Western world for over hundreds of thousands of years. It is deeply beneficial to all beings in the West and can be considered the text of all beings. If the Great Celestial Venerable and the Queen Mother are interested, it would be most appropriate to codify it as a heavenly law.”
"this……"
The Jade Emperor could no longer pretend to be dead after being named by the Bodhisattva Cundi. He acted hesitant and then looked at the Queen Mother.
It means that in the current heaven, her words have the final say.
The Queen Mother's mouth twitched, she glared at the Jade Emperor, and simply kicked the ball to the saints.
"What do you think, saints?"
Hou Tu sat aside with a smile on her face. She looked at the Three Pure Ones on the left and then at the Two Saints on the right, looking like she was enjoying a good show.
Nuwa and Fuxi didn't speak.
Among the Three Pure Ones, Laozi was the calmest. He raised his eyelids and then became motionless.
Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a reason for the moment.
Because what Zhunti said made sense, and he actually gave a feasible solution.
Tongtian was very direct and retorted immediately: "What is Sanskrit? I have never heard of it, the three religions don't recognize it, and it doesn't exist in the East. How can it be called the word 'sentient beings'?!"
When these words were spoken, everyone present, except the two saints, almost laughed out loud.
This is very sharp.
Zhunti said that astronomy needs to be established using the language of all living beings, and also said that Sanskrit is the language of all living beings.
Since it is the writing of all living beings, then as a supreme saint, you should know it, right?
Now Tongtian is telling lies with open eyes, changing concepts, separating things, and directly denying the sentient beings attribute of Sanskrit.
How can the few creatures in your Western world represent all living beings?
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun twirled his beard and smiled.
At the critical moment, it’s up to the third brother to fight an argument!
You are worthy of being my brother!
But the smile on the face of the Bodhisattva Cundi became even wider.
He said, "Our religion created Sanskrit to pass on the great Dao, originally with the intention of facilitating the lives of sentient beings. However, educating sentient beings is not a one-day job. Today, Sanskrit is only spread in the West and has not reached the East. This is truly the fault of Cundi."
After he finished speaking, he first bowed to Tongtian, his face full of shame.
"Today, I received Senior Brother Tongtian's advice. Zhunti should take it to heart and no longer be content with the Western Land. Now that this matter is over, Senior Brother and I should encourage our disciples to travel more to the East and bring the benefits of Sanskrit to the people of the East.
Of course, if you need it, I and you can go to the East in person so that we can spread the Sanskrit sounds to the Master as soon as possible, so that Sanskrit can be seen in the Three Religions. In this way, your regret will be relieved."
Pity?
How did you hear that I felt regretful?!
Tongtian felt so depressed that he felt like he had punched cotton.
He said sullenly, "Brother Zhunti, please don't interrupt me. Just talk about astronomy. Why are you talking about spreading Sanskrit to the East?"
Zhunti replied in surprise, "Brother Tongtian regrets that Sanskrit cannot be passed on to sentient beings. I, your junior disciple, wish to spread it widely throughout the primordial world and open a door of convenience for sentient beings. Doesn't this align with your wishes and help us understand the principles of astronomy?"
Tongtian was speechless.
This person is really good at talking!
He always brings up sentient beings and makes a lot of sense.
The key is that he dares to speak and act, and is willing to humble himself.
They really do practical things.
The transformation of the ancient West from a scorched earth to a pure land is proof of this.
Today Tongtian said he had never heard of Sanskrit, and tomorrow Zhunti dared to run to the East.
You don’t have to worry about whether you will be beaten up on the head the day after tomorrow.
People don’t say that I am preaching, I am just here to facilitate communication among all beings .
Since you three religions look down on Sanskrit.
If you have the ability, come up with a Taoist text!
Opportunities come to those who are prepared!
This is what Zhunti thought.
Seeing his junior brother defeated, Yuanshi Tianzun cast a consoling look at him, then looked at Zhunti and said, "The Heavenly Law is of great importance. How can we have time to let our junior brother spread Sanskrit to the world?"
Not to mention whether they will allow Zhunti to come and preach, even if she comes, by the time all the people in the East learn Sanskrit, it will be too late!
Zhunti smiled and looked at the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother.
"I wonder when the Great Celestial Venerable and the Queen Mother plan to issue the Heavenly Law?"
The Jade Emperor looked at the Queen Mother again.
The Queen Mother pondered for a moment. "Of course, faster is better, but we can't rush it. If the Heavenly Laws are set, they will be used for all eternity, for all sentient beings in the three realms. So there's no room for sloppiness."
This statement does not offend either side.
Yuanshi and Zhunti stared at each other.
It is unacceptable in any way to say that Sanskrit has become astronomy.
This is about the battle of orthodoxy.
But for a moment, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't think of any good solution.
Nuwa and Houtu on the side watched the show with great interest.
Hou Tu remained silent, firstly because what Zhunti said made sense, and secondly because she could not come up with the right words.
You mean Wu Wen?
Sorry, this requires too much blood, and can only be passed on to witches.
The situation of Nuwa is similar.
She actually wants to promote the evil novel, and this one is quite suitable.
But in the end I gave up.
The era of the demon race is over.
If you ask the New Heavenly Court to use the old demonic script, how can that Heavenly Court save its reputation? Not only will the Heavenly Court not agree, the Five Saints will definitely not agree.
Jie Yin looked at Zhunti, who was firing at full power and had the highest energy level, and he rarely smiled.
At this time, Taiqing suddenly spoke up and asked Fuxi, "Do you have any good ideas, fellow Daoist?"
Fuxi was silent for a moment, and a gleam of light inexplicably flashed in his eyes.
He faced the saints and spoke slowly, "The Heavenly Law is not the Heavenly Law of the Heavenly Court, nor the Heavenly Law of the Four Religions. It is the Heavenly Law of the Great Desolation, the Heavenly Law of all living beings. Since the Heavenly Law is to be perfected, why should we be bound by a single text or book?
Gods have their own divine scripts, dragons have their own dragon seals, and phoenixes have their own phoenix seals. Qilin scripts have survived to this day. Demonic scripts are widespread, witchcraft scripts have their merits, and the Sanskrit of Western religions is invaluable. Our human contract system may be rudimentary, but it also boasts convenience.
In my opinion, only the Heavenly Laws written in various scripts can be considered the Heavenly Laws of all living beings! Why don't we select a few types as the common scripts for immortals and mortals in the Three Realms?
The Heavenly Laws are applicable to the heavens, and are not mortal beings. They can be written in the innate divine writing. The Heavenly Laws are applied to the human world, and since human writing has not yet been standardized, they are copied using various major scripts. The Heavenly Laws are applied to the netherworld, uh…"
Fuxi paused and looked at Houtu.
The underworld is a textual desert, right?
Hou Tu was unhappy. She glanced at the Great Emperor Changsheng and replied to Fuxi: "Daoyou, this method is very wonderful. When I return, I will definitely mobilize the power of the underworld and create writing!"
It is difficult to create characters that can be recognized by all living beings, but shouldn’t it be easy to make ghosts recognize them?
How can the common language of the three realms be without the underworld?
Do it!
Do it when you get back!
Do it in a big way!
Even the name Hou Tu was thought of.
It's called ghost talisman.
Tongtian laughed loudly: "Daoist friend, you are so talented! We three religions should also gather disciples and create Dao texts together!"
You Western religions can make Sanskrit popular all over the world.
There is no reason why we, the three religions and thousands of immortals, cannot create a Taoist article!
We don't need to seek recognition from heaven and earth, but we must have the knowledge of the three religions.
Otherwise, if one day one of my disciples preaches in Sanskrit, I will probably be so angry that I die.
Zhunti looked at the Eternal Emperor.
Smiled helplessly.
The style of this idea is all too familiar.
"The one who can defeat me is not the saints, but Mingyu!" Zhunti sighed in his heart.
If Mingyu is willing to go to the West, why should we worry about the prosperity of our great religion?
Nuwa smiled and asked Taiqing, "What do you think, Senior Brother?"
The Great Purity Saint stroked his beard and smiled: "This method is feasible."
The saints nodded and turned their gaze towards the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother.
The Jade Emperor was completely defeated. Without thinking, he asked the Queen Mother, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
The Queen Mother smiled and carefully considered her words, saying, "Since the saints agree, let's select the characters of the three realms and write the Heavenly Law together to pass it on to all living beings. The Heavenly Court and the Underworld will each contribute one character, the three races, the witches and liches, and the human race will each contribute one character, and the four religions of the East and the West will all contribute one character."
After this matter was agreed upon, the saints discussed the general direction of the 8,000 general principles and 125,400 detailed items of the Heavenly Rules.
This is rule making.
Be it the Two Saints, the Three Pure Ones, or Fuxi, Hou Tu, or Nuwa, none of them could stay out of it and they all got involved.
After a round of verbal battles, there were several more confrontations.
Jie Yin and Tai Qing are taciturn, but they always hit the nail on the head.
Zhunti performed the Lotus Tongue on the spot, and Yuanshi and Tongtian had a hard time resisting.
Even if the second-in-command came out to argue with him, the outcome would be barely 50-50.
There is no way around it. Western Dafa is largely based on words.
The three thousand great dreams of the Pure Land, the land of infinite merits and virtues.
How can you make others believe in your teachings if you don’t convince yourself first?
In this regard, the Cundi Saint can face all the saints with pride.
I can't fight.
You can’t argue!
