One day, on the streets of Yushan County, there were sounds of firecrackers and firecrackers. Tens of thousands of people were marching in groups, using the statues of the Three Pure Ones and banners to open the way. They carried various sacrifices such as pigs, cattle, and sheep, and walked toward Sanqing Mountain in a mighty manner.
The birthday celebrations of the past years were definitely not of such a scale.
As for this year…
It was said that Shi Jian was going to build a temple on the mountain to offer incense and preach at the Three Pure Palaces. As a result, many people were attracted to the temple, including Yushan County, nearby counties, and even further places.
In a wealthy merchant's house in Yushan County, Shi Jian was also preparing.
"Immortal Master, it's almost time."
A wealthy merchant dressed in luxurious clothes smiled apologetically.
Shi Jian nodded.
He then walked out of the house. Countless refugees and young men and women were already waiting. When they saw Shi Jian walking out slowly, they shouted in surprise,"It's out, it's out."
Shi Jian's voice was solemn as his cold and dignified eyes slowly swept across the crowd. He immediately took out the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Seal and held the Thunder Seal in one hand. Lightning surrounded his body as he said in a deep voice,"Let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly walked away, and countless people followed him.
……
Sanqing Palace was located at the north of Sanqing Mountain, on top of the Turtle Back Stone at the mouth of Nine Dragon Mountain, south of Sanqing Blessed Land. It was adjacent to the Immortal Gathering Platform in the east, Nine Dragon Mountain in the south, the Teaching Hall in the west, and the Turtle Back Stone in the north. It could be said to occupy the best Fengshui treasure land in Sanqing Blessed Land.
At this moment, Shi Jian held the Thunder Seal in one hand and his body was surrounded by lightning. He was like a god of thunder descending to the mortal world. He led a large group of people behind the "welcoming god team". Countless people followed him and headed toward Mount Sanqing.
When everyone arrived at Sanqing Mountain, a Taoist child was already waiting for them. He was standing under a stone workshop at the Heavenly Gate.
Three words were written on the stone workshop, Three Pure Blessed Land.
Inscription: Qing Tongzhi eight years of imperial gift.
When everyone arrived at the stone workshop, the Taoist children on both sides came forward to sing and bow to the Three Pure Ones statue. Then, they led everyone up the mountain and passed by the Flying Immortal Platform, the Flowing Sunset Bridge, the stone steps of the Thousand Steps Gate and the Hundred Steps Gate.
Finally, he came to Sanqing Palace.
In front of the Three Pure Palace, there was also a Taoist boy waiting.
On top of the palace gate, there was a plaque with Sun Yuanzhen's handwriting that said 'Three Pure Palace'.
During the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Jian's 20th generation grandson built the Three Pure Palaces.
Along the way, he set up scenery, added temples, and gave fields to feed the feathered scholars. At that time, Sun Yuanzhen, a senior official and minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War, personally wrote the plaque of "Three Qing Palaces" for him, so he became famous day by day.
In front of the Three Pure Palace, the Taoist child went forward to sing and bowed to the statue of the Three Pure Ones. Then, he led the "welcoming team" into the Three Pure Palace.
The Three Pure Palace occupied an extremely large area. It had a front hall and a back pavilion. It faced south and had two rooms on the left and right.
The main hall was dedicated to the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, and the back hall was dedicated to Guanyin and the Eighteen Arhats. They were a hall in which Taoism and Buddhism lived in harmony.
His Highness.
Daoist Wang Qiao, the Palace Lord of the Three Pure Palaces, was already waiting quietly with hundreds of Taoist priests and monks.
When the welcoming team entered, Daoist Wang Qiao led everyone to bow three times before leading them to the main hall. He placed the Three Pure Ones statues on the side of the main hall, offered incense, and opened the altar to invite the gods to perform the ritual.
These three god statues had to be worshipped in the main hall for three days to receive the Three Pure Spirit Light before they could go down the mountain again.
It was another ritual called " Sending God ".
Shi Jian was a Taoist priest of Maoshan and inherited the teachings of the Heavenly Lord of Lingbao. He did not dare to be disrespectful as he was afraid of disturbing the birthday celebration.
After entering the Three Pure Palace, no one spoke. They followed the crowd and respectfully knelt down to offer incense.
After all the rituals were completed, it was finally time for the main event.
Whether it was the priests, monks, or tens of thousands of people, they all looked at Shi Jian with eagerness in their eyes.
At this moment, Daoist Wang Qiao slowly stepped forward and greeted Shi Jian. After the two of them introduced each other, they pointed to the other Taoists and monks and introduced them one by one.
During this process, the Taoist boys and Taoists of the Three Pure Palace also set up altars outside the hall and brought praying mats for the people to sit quietly. From the main hall square to the left and right wing rooms, and even outside the palace gate, there were countless people.
Not long after, Daoist Wang Qiao looked at the weather and praised,"The auspicious time is coming."”，He then led Shi Jian to the altar.
As soon as Shi Jian moved, tens of thousands of people cheered.
"It's time to open the altar, it's time to open the altar."
"The Dao lecture."
“……”
Outside the hall, Daoist Wang Qiao said,""Please-"
Shi Jian returned the greeting and slowly climbed up the altar. He looked at the hundreds of priests and monks inside and outside the palace, as well as the countless commoners and merchants. All of them had expectant eyes. He took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged.
There was a long silence.
Shi Jian said loudly as he used the Meridian Mantra.
"Dao is born from nothingness, and it is unpredictable. The spirit is condensed in the void, and there is no way to change it. There is a spirit in the dark and there is a light in the sky. The Taixuan is boundless and leads to emptiness and stillness. This is the so-called big hole..."
At this moment, Shi Jian circulated his mana and slowly explained the Supreme Clarity Scripture.
Instantly, there was silence inside and outside the palace.
Only the sound of Dao lingered.
During the Eastern Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, Taoism underwent a great transformation due to the transformation of aristocratic families.
Countless geniuses rushed out, and countless Dao scriptures and mantras were created.
Among them, there were three true scriptures that had been created and were the most widely circulated. They were the Three Emperors Scripture, the Lingbao Scripture, the Shangqing Scripture, and the Three Cave True Scripture.
The Three Emperors Scripture was burned in the Yuan Dynasty and is now lost.
The first volume was the art of thinking and subduing qi, the second volume was the prescription of taking herbs, and the third volume was the talisman to wear or swallow, as well as the method of becoming an immortal.
It was now collected by Luofu Mountain, and it was the orthodoxy of Nanmao Mountain and Luofu Sect.
As for the Shangqing Sutra, it also created a new sect within Taoism, the Shangqing Maoshan Sect.
The Prime Minister of the mountain, Tao Hongjing, became the founder of Maoshan.
In the existing Shangqing Sutra, there were all kinds of Taoist techniques such as taking Jindan, guiding qi, wearing talismans, casting bamboo slips, hiding in armor, stepping on the wind, fighting, running high to the sun and moon, eating and sucking clouds, singing and praising, summoning gods and subduing demons, restraining tigers and wolves, etc.
Shi Jian cultivated the Supreme Clarity Scripture.
At this moment, Shi Jian sat cross-legged on the altar, concentrating and calming his mind. As he circulated his mana, strands of Dao runes spread out. Countless profound meanings of the Supreme Clarity Scripture were slowly explained, making people feel as if they were in a fairyland.
Among them, some people questioned and argued. Shi Jian smiled and answered their questions. Countless monks and Daoists of Mount Sanqing respected him, and countless people became more and more fanatical about him.
Shi Jian was extremely hardworking in his cultivation. Back in Mao Mountain, he had read countless Taoist scriptures in the Sutra Hall. Later, he had obtained countless Taoist scriptures in Bottle Mountain, many of which were lost ancient scrolls. Shi Jian also read them every day.
As a result, Shi Jian's understanding of Dao had surpassed many people.
At this moment, he was preaching slowly and fearlessly. He only spoke out the Dao runes in his chest. Coupled with the understanding of the future generations, it caused countless people to be in a state of euphoria. Some were inspired, and their faces were filled with joy. Some were puzzled, and they scratched their ears and cheeks.
Looking around, everyone had different expressions and different understandings.
Right at this moment, a beam of celestial light suddenly fell from the sky and entered Shi Jian's head. It enveloped him, making him look like a celestial being. His head was shining with a clear light, and there were countless auras rising up.
Countless karma and fate appeared at this moment.
It fused with the clear light.
A light wheel appeared behind Shi Jian's head. It was pure on the inside and golden on the outside.
It made him look like an immortal.
For example, in the Taoist temples and Buddhist temples, many of the immortals on the murals had light wheels in their heads. Their bodies were flowing with five colors and did not look like mortals at all.
"Whoosh."
In an instant, everyone was flabbergasted and there was an uproar.
"I've become an immortal!"
"My mother, Daoist Shi is going to become an immortal!”
"I've become an immortal."
“……”
