Fried Salted Fish
Chapter 93 Can You Grant Me the Great Dao of Longevity?
Ji Xiang also told Old Zhang that before Zhao Xuanlang's death, due to his unwillingness, he had used his wishful power to falsely claim the Jade Emperor's divine position, causing him to now be exposed to the so-called celestial officials in the underworld.
"The power of wishful thoughts is not easy to eliminate. Since the Jade Emperor responded to this Zhao Xuanlang, it is indeed only by destroying the divine tablet once that this wishful power can be eliminated, but..."
"If it were other gods, my senior brother and I might have a chance to destroy it once, but the Jade Emperor, known as 'Ruling over all heavens, never to be destroyed or淪', his divine position cannot be destroyed."
Hearing Old Zhang say this, Ji Xiang could not help but sigh. Although he had known for a long time that two ascension experts might not be able to destroy the Jade Emperor's divine tablet, hearing that the Jade Emperor's divine tablet could never be destroyed made him feel even more uncomfortable.
But Old Zhang had not finished speaking:
"Senior brother, this Zhao Xuanlang claimed to be a person sent to the mortal world by the Jade Emperor's order, and the incarnation of Emperor Taizu of Song, but according to senior brother, the Jade Emperor's divine tablet is still in Fulili, so which Jade Emperor's order did Zhao Xuanlang receive to come to the mortal world?"
"Although I cannot help senior brother destroy the Jade Emperor's divine tablet, I can go with senior brother to travel to Fulili and take another look at the Jade Emperor's situation."
Ji Xiang was a little strange: "Does junior brother mean that there is actually something wrong with the Jade Emperor's divine tablet?"
Old Zhang smiled: "When things here are over, I will go to heaven with senior brother to take a look and we will know."
Ji Xiang was a little strange as to why Old Zhang didn't go to heaven with him now, but he soon understood that the Old Zhang in front of him was actually a Yang Spirit incarnation.
At this time, Old Zhang used his magic power to deal with the follow-up problems at the Great Gao Xuan Hall. At the same time, when Old Zhang was using his magic power, the Inner Vision Divine Tablet also gave a reminder.
[Zhang Boyang (Yang Spirit Incarnation): Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, Three Heavens Assisting Education, Tiger's Roar and Dragon's Cry; Light Implies Myriad Forms, Connecting Heaven and Earth.]
[Ascension Realm, one of 129,600 Yang Spirit Incarnations.]
Ji Xiang was shocked: "This Yang Spirit Incarnation's strength is actually the same as the main body. I feel that this incarnation of Old Zhang is a true ascension expert.... I really haven't seen enough of the world."
At this time, Old Zhang walked to the Wanfa Thunder Altar in the back hall and waved his hand a few times. Suddenly, thunder rumbled in the sky, and he re-arranged the formation here.
Ji Xiang did not recognize this great formation, but he saw golden lotuses blooming around Old Zhang, and bells and drums ringing from the void. At the same time, there was also the sound of wind and rain whistling, and the surrounding Yuan Qi gathered and dispersed, constantly transforming into various rare birds and animals.
Old Zhang continuously drew eight Zhen trigrams on the ground, distributed around the Wanfa Thunder Altar, and then pointed his finger at the direction of the Forbidden City. Suddenly, a formless thunder sound was faintly drawn.
In Ji Xiang's inner vision, a simple description appeared:
[Emperor Gouchen orders: Zhen Vessel! The Emperor Governs, All Gods Hurry!]
This was the supreme order placed in the Qin'an Hall. No one except Tao Zhongwen and Emperor Jiajing could use it, but now it was being used by Old Zhang, borrowing a thunder sound.
Old Zhang introduced the formless thunder into the Wanfa Thunder Altar, and the formation was immediately formed.
"Now everything is fine. The Thunder Altar of the Great Gao Xuan Hall is used to receive the gods of the Thunder Department. Now that Yin and Yang are out of balance, and Shuntian has been broken into this state, there is no need to be cautious. Use the most firm, most Yang, most fierce, and most courageous thunder method to directly flatten and fill this place."
Ji Xiang could also understand Old Zhang's statement.
Anyway, everything has been ruined, so what is there to be afraid of? Miracles happen when you put in the effort, and the new formation can directly and violently suppress it.
.........
Shuntian Prefecture, the first watch.
Old Zhang took the precious sword and the Jade Emperor's statue, flew into the sky, and went one step ahead.
Although it was already the first watch, most of the Yin Division's divine generals were either dead or injured. Ji Xiang took the divine position and returned it to the government troops. The people of the Three Great Battalions entered Shuntian to quell the chaos. In the Forbidden City, orders regarding disaster relief and aftermath were also being issued continuously.
Unfortunately, Shuntian City was completely destroyed. The city walls collapsed, the earth and rocks were shattered, the ground sank, and various areas were damaged to varying degrees. Many of the people living in Shuntian were buried under the ruins.
The previous earthquake caused serious damage.
Ji Xiang saw many victims. Even though Old Zhang had incarnated into 120,000 bodies and was carrying out rescue operations in various places in Shuntian, it was not easy to bring the dead back to life. Even though the Daoist sect had many methods of resurrecting the dead, they could not be directly applied to mortals.
To be able to resurrect mortals, only one type of talisman could do it. Legend has it that Taishang Laojun has a talisman called the "Tai Xuan Life Talisman". This talisman is effective for any dead person, and they can be resurrected on the spot even if they have been dead for many years.
The disaster ended, and the common people who had been saved by Ji Xiang survived.
Some people cried, their voices miserable.
"I have honestly and conscientiously done my job, and have never harmed anyone. Why did I encounter this disaster?"
"The good are never rewarded."
Countless people wept and looked sad. Many people's houses had been destroyed, and their life savings had been reduced to nothing. This negative situation existed in every area of Shuntian. If it could not be dealt with in time, Shuntian Prefecture would fall into a long period of chaos.
And for the people's weak cries.
Ji Xiang could only sigh and gently move his lips:
"Because of kindness, you survived the disaster."
So, he walked and recited the *Supreme Rescue Sutra*.
Ji Xiang used the power of the Dharma Realm.
Although the power of the Dharma Realm is used less and less each time, according to normal reasoning, it should never be wasted on small things like saving mortals.
"Perhaps closing your eyes, covering your ears, and preserving your strength, deceiving yourself, is to save more people, so everything in front of you should be regarded as unseen."
"But the conscience cannot be overcome. The Immortal Dao values life, and immeasurable salvation is exactly what those who practice the righteous Dharma should do."
At Ji Xiang's waist, the Divine Might Huo Luo Command gently floated up with a hazy white light at this time.
"You also think so, that I am right?"
Seeing the Divine Might Token respond, Ji Xiang was a little happy. Although this Divine Might Token has not been able to be used until now, the real meaning of this token may not be to kill enemies and destroy ghosts.
This token is like a teacher who cannot speak. If you do bad things, it will warn you. If you do good things, it will give you praise in return.
Therefore, people can rely on this token to act without falling into evil ways and always respect the righteous Dharma.
"Yes, according to legend, Wang Lingguan followed Celestial Master Sa to find the Celestial Master's evil deeds, but Celestial Master Sa had no evil deeds along the way, and even Wang Lingguan was convinced and worshiped him as his teacher."
And Celestial Master Sa's teacher, it is said, was Lin Lingsu, one of the patriarchs of the Divine Firmament. This token may have been left by Lin Lingsu....
This thought only flashed in his mind for a moment, and Ji Xiang stopped thinking about it.
The power of the Dharma Realm was used to save all the dead souls, and Ji Xiang's eyes changed, and everything around him turned black and white.
Using the Yin merit to help things, guiding many dead souls to rebirth.
The countless souls were muddled, but at this time, in this black and white world, Ji Xiang appeared, just like a bright light appearing in the ancient night.
Ji Xiang heard many voices. Those souls still had obsessions. They cried and were unwilling. They felt that they should not have died like this. They still had many, many things they wanted to do, but there was no way to do them.
"I'm dead, what will happen to my son?"
"Mother, your son is unfilial...."
"My parents are gone, big brother, have you seen them?"
A child's soul grabbed Ji Xiang's Daoist robe. In this black and white world, he opened his dim eyes that had already lost their light. He was distraught:
"Father and mother are lost...."
The child's parents may have also died in the earthquake in Shuntian, or they may still be alive and well.
There are many, many children like this in this black and white world.
Ji Xiang touched the child's soul and at the same time, gave ten-direction protection to the many souls around him:
"May you be liberated in the Eastern Pure Land of Utmost Bliss, and never fall into the suffering of hell."
The child seemed to understand what Ji Xiang was doing, gave Ji Xiang a bright smile, and his body gradually turned into clear Qi and disappeared.
In the dark void, a thank you sound came.
At this time, Ji Xiang felt some gazes, those hidden in the depths of darkness, hidden under the nine earths.
Vaguely, there seemed to be a vast palace, the Myriad Longevity Palace that Zhao Xuanlang spoke of. Those celestial officials stood at the door of the palace, and seemed to be able to see clearly the various situations in the Yang world through the Yin and Yang realms.
From the eyes of these celestial officials, Ji Xiang saw fear and resentment.
At the same time, in this black and white world, someone spoke:
"The way of heaven diminishes excess and supplements deficiency; the way of man diminishes deficiency to serve excess."
"The way of ghosts, gods, and Yin spirits is different!"
"It harms those who are full and blesses those who are empty!"
In the black and white world, an old man with colors, like Ji Xiang, appeared.
Old Man Lei Xuan chuckled:
"The second ascender in the world, I can see two ascenders in one day. It is really...heart-stirring and extremely exciting."
"Senior brother, can you bestow upon me the Great Dao of Longevity?"
