The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 717: A loud noise from the Wei River, the actors solemnly appeared on the stage
Then, the black dragon rushed into the water. Everyone was still immersed in amazement, thinking about the reason. Not long after, the black dragon rushed out of the water again. But this time, he was wrapped with a huge stone tablet.

The stone tablet was beautifully carved, and it exuded an ancient atmosphere under the sunlight. Black Dragon laboriously carried the stone tablet to the altar. It was 36 feet 5 inches tall, 13 feet 6 inches wide, and more than one foot thick.

What's even more amazing is that on the front of the stone tablet, there is a scripture engraved in small seal script, the font is neat and beautiful, as if it was created by nature, without any trace of artificial carving. The inscription talks about the way of heaven and earth, including the genealogy of the way of gods, the names and duties of gods, the origins and so on, and the back is engraved with detailed sacrificial rituals.

God is benevolent. Except for the Supreme God (the one who controls the ten extremes of the heavens, the immeasurable Daluo Miaodao, the supreme and holy Infinite Dao, who dominates the past and future, the ten directions, the three realms, the eight wildernesses, and the six directions, and all things return to one, the most benevolent, the most virtuous, the most honorable, the most righteous, the most supreme, the Jade Emperor of Haotian Jinque), who only accepts worship from the Son of Heaven, all other gods are allowed to be worshipped and prayed to by the world.

In addition, there is a special sentence on the front side, which states that the Son of Heaven has the same position as the Five Heavenly Emperors, lives in the world, and receives the mandate of heaven. The mandate of heaven is all passed on by the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven can enthrone gods on behalf of heaven.

After reading the stone tablet, Ying Zheng was slightly startled at first, then he raised his head and laughed loudly, saying loudly: "God has mercy on us. In order to prevent people from going astray and worshiping evil gods, he has specially given us the genealogy of Shinto so that people know what to ask for and what to do."

After saying this, he waved his long sleeves and said, "Everyone, please come up to the stage and take a look."

All the ministers bowed and then hurried onto the stage to admire the stone tablet. They were all amazed and shocked.

After seeing this, all the ministers bowed down in unison. Lü Buwei shouted, "Your Majesty is virtuous and has received the mandate of heaven. You are the ruler of the country and have been granted the title of sutra. Your virtue matches heaven and earth, and your teachings reach the netherworld. This is a testimony from the heavens and the power of the earth. Now the auspicious signs are coming. This is the mandate of heaven. It is not only the virtue of your majesty, but also the great blessing of the country! Long live your majesty!"

After Lu Buwei finished speaking, all the ministers congratulated him and Ying Zheng laughed out loud.

"Everyone, please stand up." Ying Zheng raised his hand slightly and said in a gentle voice:
"Now that the Emperor of Heaven has revealed this, it is my fortune and the fortune of all my subjects. Everyone in the world knows what is the smooth road and what is the right way. This is a great fortune."

"Pass on my decree, copy this stone inscription, print it into a book, and spread it throughout the world."

"In the capital of the gods, the Five Emperors Temple was built. In various places in the divine land, the counties and prefectures were selected to build temples and worship the Five Emperors according to this genealogy."

"The Tianlu Division will teach all wizards, priests, magicians, shamans, and shamans in the world the correct etiquette and rituals according to this ritual, and each temple will have a Taoist priest to manage it."

"From now on, all the gods worshipped in temples across the country, other than the gods recorded on this stone tablet, are considered obscene and evil and will be destroyed. Those who believe in obscene worship and spread evil gods, and those who are stubborn and unyielding, will be exiled to Hexi."

After hearing this, all the ministers responded in unison, saying, "We obey your order."

At this moment, Zou Shi suddenly performed a great salute, prostrated himself respectfully, and shouted: "Your Majesty, I, Zou Shi, congratulate you. Your Majesty is holy and virtuous! Long live your majesty!"

When everyone heard this sudden shout, they turned their heads and looked at Zou Shi, their eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

Ying Zheng also frowned slightly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and asked: "My dear, why are you congratulating me?"

Zou Shi replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have carefully read the stone tablet given by heaven, and it records the operation of the five elements and five virtues."

"According to the will of heaven, your majesty is the Holy Emperor Fuxi Taihao, the Great Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Extreme Lingshi, who has come to the human world to save the people and bring peace to the world." Zou Shi said this in a decisive tone.

Ying Zheng asked in surprise: "Is it really so?"

Zou Shi replied with absolute certainty: "Absolutely!"

Zou Shi explained: "The Supreme God transformed into Fuxi Taihao Shenghuang to teach the common people. After returning to the world, he did not return to his original body, but transformed into Dongji Lingshi Qinghua Emperor to assist the Supreme God in ruling the world."

"Later, the four Heavenly Emperors were enthroned separately. The stone tablet also records that since the heavens determined the Heavenly Emperors of the Five Directions and Five Elements, there have been the five virtues and five fortunes."

"Among the five northern spirits, the Black Emperor Di Ku was of water virtue, giving birth to Emperor Yao of wood virtue, who gave birth to Emperor Shun of fire virtue, who gave birth to King Yu of earth virtue. Therefore, Xia was of earth virtue, Shang was of gold virtue, Zhou was of water virtue, and the next one to replace water must be of wood virtue."

"Our Great Qin is the Wood Virtue, and everyone knows it. In the past, the Holy Emperor Fuxi rode a dragon to patrol the world, and now Your Majesty has also made the dragon bow down to you. Your Majesty has unified the world and strengthened human culture. It must be that the Great Emperor Qinghua of the East has incarnated again to save hundreds of millions of people, to quell hundreds of years of disputes and wars, and to bring peace to the people of the world!" Zou Shi became more and more excited as he spoke, his voice became louder and louder, and his tone was extremely firm.

Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The position of the third-rank doctor of astronomy was not given in vain, the title of marquis was not given in vain, and Zou Shi's name was not left in history in vain. Today had come to an end perfectly!

Although it is a little inconsistent and conflicting with his previous theories, it is not a big problem. It is normal for mortals to have mistakes in their theories. How can mortals understand the will of heaven? This is the privilege of the emperor!

There aren't many mistakes anyway, so just make some minor changes.

Of course, what God says is more correct than what people say. For example, the Yin-Yang School can match the vast majority of numbers, which is already very remarkable and has proved that they are very capable and knowledgeable. If you are not the Son of Heaven, how can human hearts understand the will of Heaven?
What people say is slightly wrong, which makes perfect sense!

That's it! Just let the Yin-Yang School revise their own theory a little bit.

Ying Zheng was still a little hesitant, frowned slightly, and said: "This..."

Zou Shi seemed to have anticipated Ying Zheng's reaction. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have irrefutable evidence."

"Oh?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of curiosity.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Zou Shi.

Zou Shi pointed to a place on the stone tablet and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please read this. It is written on the heavenly tablet that the Great Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Extreme Spiritual Beginning not only assists the Jade Emperor of Heaven in ruling the myriad worlds, but also saves people from suffering and disasters, and especially rules the netherworld, saves the dead from suffering, and incarnates into the Ten Directions Hades to rule hell."

"Everything in the underworld was created by Hou Tu Niangniang, and the Great Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Extreme Spiritual Beginning actually created the Ten Directions Hades to assist Hou Tu Niangniang in governing the underworld. This... well... this shows that the two Saint Emperors must have a close relationship."

"Hou Tu Niang Niang is the most benevolent and virtuous, and she is extremely compassionate. Today, Your Majesty has come down to earth to save the people, and Hou Tu Niang Niang has also come with you."

"Ok?"

Everyone stared at Zou Shi, but he looked calm and confident.

Ying Zheng was overjoyed and asked, "Who is Hou Tu Niangniang in her current form? Where is she now?"

Zou Shi looked at Nian Duan, and everyone looked at her in an instant. Even though Nian Duan was well-informed, she had never seen such a situation before, and had never thought about it. Faced with such a sudden situation, she was so shocked that her eyes widened for a moment, and she felt a little flustered.

She has grown up to a place where her life has been smooth and fulfilling, but there is nothing magical about it.

Zou Shi bowed to Nian Duan and said with a smile: "In this world, who else can be the most meritorious, the most virtuous, and the most benevolent, except for Tzu Chi Wen Guogong? How can ordinary people do such saintly deeds?"

"It must be the Queen Mother Hou Tu who has come down to earth!"

Ying Zheng looked at Nian Duan, the love in his eyes became more and more passionate, and the naked gaze made Nian Duan turn his head slightly, not daring to look at Ying Zheng.

At this time, Cai Ze stood up and raised his doubts at the right time: "What Doctor Jiantian said makes sense, but there is still no proof."

Zou Shi smiled lightly: "Of course there is proof."

"Just now, Lord Weiyuan first bowed to Your Majesty, and then bowed to Duke Wen of Ciji. Doesn't this prove it?"

Zou Shi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "If we were mortals, how could we be worshipped by the dragon?"

"The heavens had not given this heavenly tablet before, and Lord Weiyuan did not know the incarnation of the Queen Mother Hou Tu at that time."

“Today, the Heavenly Monument of the Divine Dao was bestowed by God. Wei Yuanjun naturally knew the identity of Tzu Chi Wen Guogong, so he showed respect.”

"If you want to prove this, it's easy. Your Majesty, please summon Lord Weiyuan and ask him in front of everyone!"

Everyone nodded, this is true, no need to guess, just ask and you will know.

Ying Zheng also nodded slowly and said, "That makes sense. Why speculate too much? I will summon Lord Weiyuan and ask him and he will know."

After saying this, Ying Zheng called out to Ying Li loudly: "Lord Weiyuan, come quickly."

With Ying Zheng's profound cultivation, the sound of calling spread far and wide.

Then the water rippled, and Ying Li emerged from the water, flying to the side of the altar of heaven. He first bowed three times to Ying Zheng, then flew to the side of Nian Duan, bowed three times to Nian Duan, and then flew to a place not far from Ying Zheng, quietly floating in the air.

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Li with a dignified expression and asked, "Lord Weiyuan, I have something to ask you. You must give me an answer."

After saying this, Ying Zheng turned to look at Zou Shi and said, "My dear, please ask Lord Weiyuan."

Zou Shi bowed and said yes, then looked at Ying Li who was not far away. Even though it was not the first time he had met him, he was still extremely shocked to see him again.

The dragon was more than ten feet long, with a body thicker than a water tank. It had no wings, but it could fly in the air. The dragon's body was surrounded by mist, which was like a veil, dreamlike.

The black scales were stained with water, and under the sunlight, the whole body radiated a colorful glow. The body was slender and graceful, without any fierceness. It was sacred and noble, majestic and gorgeous. It was truly a divine beast.

Not only Zou Shi was amazed, but several other princes who were present also saw it for the first time and were even more amazed and envious. Countless people wanted to try the feeling of riding a dragon and flying.

Zou Shi calmed down a little, took two steps closer to Ying Li, bowed, and then asked, "Lord Weiyuan, this divine stele was given by heaven. Do you know?"

Ying Li's huge dragon head nodded slowly, bringing up a breeze.

Zou Shi's face lit up with joy, and he asked again, "Then your Majesty is the Holy Emperor Fuxi Taihao, the Great Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Extreme Spiritual Beginning who has descended to the mortal world, is that correct?"

Ying Li nodded slowly again, his movements calm and firm.

Zou Shi was even more delighted, with a smile on his face, and then asked: "Is the reason why Lord Weiyuan worships Duke Wen of Ciji because Duke Wen of Ciji is a certain Holy Emperor who has descended to the world?"

Ying Li tapped the dragon's head heavily, and the dragon's horns flashed coldly in the sunlight.

Zou Shi then asked, "Lord Weiyuan knows which Saint Emperor Ciji Wenguogong is, is that correct?"

Ying Li nodded slightly, and water droplets from the dragon's body fell down, reflecting rainbows.

Zou Shi smiled and said, "It means to follow the example of the Heaven and the Earth God Hou Tu. Is that right, Queen Hou Tu?"

Ying Li nodded without hesitation, his movements were quick and decisive.

Zou Shi asked another question: "Among the people in the court of our Great Qin, are there any other gods who have descended to the earth?"

Ying Li shook his head without hesitation again, and the huge dragon body swayed slightly.

Ying Zheng was very satisfied with the questions asked by Zou Shi, especially the last one.

Zou Shi bowed to Ying Li and said, "Thank you, Lord Weiyuan. I have no more questions."

Ying Zheng smiled widely, took a step forward, reached out and touched the dragon head of Ying Li, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Weiyuan. You have worked hard today. Go and have a rest."

Ying Li bowed to Ying Zheng and Nian Duan one after another, then turned around and jumped into the Wei River, splashing a huge wave of water, and the river returned to calm again.
