Great Desolation

Chapter 223 The Decline of the Zhou Dynasty
Hello comrades!The weather is turbulent, and my Dao is prosperous!

But he said that Li Yuan took his two apprentices across the chaotic barrier and came to the boundless world.

All of a sudden, flowers fell from the sky, golden lotuses gushed from the ground, countless auspicious auras formed from the sky, hundreds of millions of purple auras overwhelmingly formed purple lotuses, dragon veins spewed beads toward the sky, and strange beasts took shape one after another.

At this time, a cloud of colorful auspicious clouds flew over from the east, ten golden boys on the left were holding incense burners, the colors were dense, and the cigarettes were faint;

Immediately afterwards, two Taoists came, a middle-aged Taoist and a young Taoist, and the two were extraordinary.

After seeing Li Yuan again, the middle-aged Taoist smiled and said, "Welcome to the deity."

"Hahaha, Brother Dao Xiude said that, he is one body away from me, why such a big gift?" Li Yuan also returned the gift with a smile.

"What is this deity talking about? Now that this deity is bringing his disciples here, I don't dare to be too shabby, so as not to make my disciples laugh at me." At this time, the young Taoist on the side took the words.

"Come, come, good luck, Xingchen hasn't greeted the two uncles yet." Li Yuan responded with a smile, signaling for Taoist good fortune and Taoist Xingchen to come forward.

"Disciple Good Fortune (Xingchen) has met the two Master Uncles, I wish Master Uncle Hunyuan boundless, immortal blessings forever." Taoist Good Fortune and Taoist Xingchen respectfully bowed to Taoist Qiankun and Taoist Chaos.

"Excuse me, excuse me, the two of us are one body with your master, there is no need to be courteous in the future," Taoist Qiankun said after raising his hand to let the two get up.

After finishing speaking, Taoist Qiankun took the three of them back to Jidao Palace.

As soon as he was seated, Li Yuan waved the whisk in his hand, and asked the Daoist Qiankun: "I just accepted the authority of heaven and found that innate gods were born in this world, although they are not as good as those born in the Great Desolate World. Innate gods, but still have the realm of immortals, life Yuan Wanzai, and the same life as the sky"

Daoist Qiankun replied: "That's right, this deity is currently speaking. This world combines some of the innate wonders of the prehistoric world. Although it is not as deep as the prehistoric background, it can still give birth to such a small realm of innate gods. Although Their strength is not high, but this is the self-evolution of the world.”

"In contrast, according to the background of this world, at least five Hunyuan and three thousand daluos can be achieved. Compared with other heavens and worlds, this world is at least better than other heavens. The foundation of the world is stronger."

"Based on the background of other heavenly worlds, not to mention Da Luo, even a fairy is as good as the heavens! This is not the completeness of the laws of heaven corresponding to this world."

"Well." Li Yuan thought for a while, then turned his thoughts around and said: "I will lower my clone in a few days and go to the earth fairy world to reincarnate and reincarnate, so that I can join the opportunity of the saint 5000 years later."

"As for Fellow Daoist Mieshi, I think it's not far away from proving the Dao. At most, after I finish my journey to the Earth Immortal World, Fellow Daoist Mieshi will be able to directly reach the Heavenly Dao Fruit Status."

"Good" Taoist Qiankun nodded, and then raised Li Yuan's head, and the three began to discuss with each other.

Taoist Creation and Taoist Xingchen sat on the lotus alone, listening to the discussion among the three, the breath on their bodies gradually became mysterious.

While the three of them were discussing the Tao, Li Yuan felt that there were six or more different auras coming out of the chaos, and they carried through the infinite chaos.

It is said that apart from Li Yuan’s Daluotian Eternal Sacred Realm and Taisu Tianwa Emperor’s Sacred Realm re-opened by Nuwa Empress, the rest of Lao Tzu also opened up the Dachitian Taiqing Holy Realm in the chaos, and Yuan Shi opened up the Qingwei Heaven Yuqing Holy Realm, Tongtian opened up the Yuyutian Shangqing Holy Realm, and led Zhunti to respectively open up the Great Dream Heaven and the Immortal Tianhua, which are called the Brahma Heaven Holy Realm.

"Well, I didn't expect them to prove the Tao." Li Yuanhui looked down and turned his thoughts. The result before seven o'clock was the creation of the world by the other six sages, creating the power of the primordial chaos, and achieving it with supreme power The fruit position of the way of heaven, everyone is the master of the way of heaven, one of the three thousand avenues, immortality and immortality coexist with the way!

It is said that in the earth and fairy world, since Hongjun Daozu opened up the world with one thought, the evolution of the prehistoric pattern moved the entire prehistoric human race here, and then King Wu defeated Zhou, who became the emperor, and Cheng Kang succeeded him.There are also a group of virtuous ministers such as Zhou Gong, Zhao Gong, Bi Gong, Shi Yi, etc. to assist the government.

From the eighth biography of King Wu to King Yi, the rites of worship are unknown, and the princes gradually became stronger.In the nine legends, King Li was tyrannical and innocent, and was killed by the people of the country.This was the beginning of thousands of years of civil upheavals. Thanks to the concerted efforts of Zhou Zhao and the two princes, Prince Jing was made king, and he was named King Xuan.

However, although King Xuan said that he was diligent in his administration, he could not accept the precepts from King Wu Dan's book and put an inscription on his household;

In the 39th year, Jiang Rong disobeyed, and King Xuan drove his own conquest, but was defeated in thousands of acres, and the chariots suffered heavy losses. ——Taiyuan, which is now Guyuan Prefecture, is the land adjacent to Rongdi.

The so-called people who are in charge of the people are about to check the local household registration by registration to see how many people there are, and there is a shortage of cars, horses, millet and grass, so that they can prepare for the expedition.

It is said that King Xuan came back from the people in Taiyuan, not far from Haojing, and urged his chariots to enter the city overnight.

Suddenly, there are dozens of children in the market, clapping their hands and singing together, with the same voice.

King Xuan stopped his chariot and listened.

The song said: "The moon will rise, and the sun will disappear; Mi Huji's family will almost perish in the Zhou Kingdom." ” King Xuan hated his words.The emperor sent an order to ask all the children, but the group was frightened and dispersed, and only two people, the elder and the younger, were taken to kneel under the chariot.

King Xuan asked, "Who made this language?" The child was afraid and said nothing; the elder replied, "It wasn't made by us. Three days ago, a boy in red came to the city and taught us to read it." For some reason, these four sentences spread all over the place, and children all over the capital agreed by coincidence, not just in one place."

King Xuan asked, "Where is the little boy in red now?"

Answer: "Since I taught singing, I don't know where to go."

King Xuan heyed for a long time, and scolded his two sons.That is to say, the magistrate of Zhaosi ordered an edict to prohibit: "if any child sings this word again, he will be guilty of the same crime as his father and brother."

When I returned to the palace that night, I had nothing to say.

In the early morning of the next day, the three lords and six ministers gathered together for His Royal Highness, worshiped, danced and lived.

King Xuan narrated the children's song he heard at night to his ministers: "How do you explain this phrase?"

Da Zongbo summoned the tiger and said to him: "Hou is the name of the mountain mulberry tree. It can be used as a bow, so it is called Chenhu. Ji, the name of the grass, can be tied into a quiver, so it is called the skip rudder. According to my humble opinion, the country may have bows and arrows." change."

Dazai Zhongshanfu said: "Bows and arrows are weapons used by the country. The king is now in Taiyuan, and he wants to avenge the dogs and soldiers. If the soldiers are not resolved, the country will surely perish."

Although King Xuan said nothing, he nodded and said yes.He asked again: "This saying comes from the boy in red. Who is the boy in red?"

Taishi Boyang's father said: "Any rootless words in the market are called rumors. God is the king of precepts, and orders Yinghuoxing to turn into children. He makes up rumors and makes them learn them. They are called nursery rhymes. Small ones contain one person's rhymes. Good or bad, the big thing is the prosperity or failure of the country. The change of sparks is the color red. The rumor of the country's subjugation today is the reason why heaven is king."

King Xuan said: "I will pardon Jiang Rong's crimes today, dismiss the soldiers of Taiyuan, burn all the arc arrows hidden in the arsenal, and then prohibit the manufacture and sale of them in the country. Will the disaster stop?"

Boyang's father replied: "I look at the sky, and the omen has come true. It seems to be inside the palace. It is not a matter of bows and arrows outside the pass. It will surely lead to the disaster of female branches in future generations. Besides, there are rumors: "The moon will rise, and the sun will rise." No', the sun is the image of the king, the moon is the yin, the sun does not rise, the moon rises, the yin advances and the yang declines, it is clear for the female leader to govern."

King Xuan said again: "Empress Jiang, who governs the six palaces alone, is very virtuous. When she enters the imperial palace, all her concubines are chosen. Where does the female misfortune come from?"

Bo Yang's father replied: "The rumors of 'will be promoted' and 'will not' are not current events. What's more, 'will' is a word, but it is a word that is not sure. Wang Jinxiu used it to wedge it, and naturally turned evil into good luck. Arc There is no need to burn it."

When King Xuan heard the play, he believed and doubted it, and gave up if he was not happy.Get up and drive back to the palace.Queen Jiang welcomes people.Sitting down, King Xuan then recounted the words of the ministers in detail to Empress Jiang.

Jiang Hou said: "There is a strange thing in the palace, and it is about to be played."

Wang asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Houzuo said: "Today there is an old palace man in the hands of the former king, who is more than fifty years old. He has been pregnant since the previous dynasty and has been pregnant for more than forty years now. He gave birth to a daughter last night."

King Xuan was shocked and asked, "Where is this girl?"

Jiang Hou said: "I think this is an ominous thing. I have ordered people to wrap the straw mat and throw it into the Qingshui River twenty miles away."

King Xuan came to the palace and asked him why he was pregnant.

The old palace man knelt down and replied: "My servant heard that in the last years of King Jie of Xia, there were gods and men in Baocheng who turned into two dragons and descended to the king's court. They were drooling and suddenly made a speech, saying that King Jie said: 'I am Baocheng. The second lord of the city is also." King Jie was afraid and wanted to kill the two dragons, so he ordered Da Shi to occupy them.

Taishi played: "Gods and men descend, and they must be in charge of auspiciousness. Why don't the king invite him to be healthy and hide him?"Ce is the essence of the dragon, and if you hide it, you will be blessed. King Jie ordered Taishi to occupy it again, which is a good omen.Naibu City set up a sacrifice in front of the dragon, took a gold plate to collect its saliva, and placed it in the Zhu school. Suddenly the wind and rain came, and the two dragons flew away. King Jie ordered it to be stored in the inner treasury.

Since the fourth year of Yin Shili 640, 28 masters have been passed on. As for our Zhou Dynasty, it will take another 300 years, and there is still no opening.

In the early years of the late king, there was a glimmer of light in the reading, and there was a treasury officer who knew the late king.The first king asked: "What is in the edge?" The treasury officer took the book and presented it, which contained the cause of Tibetan Yang.The first king ordered to watch it.The minister opened the golden calf and presented it with a golden plate in his hand.

The former king took over the plate, but he missed it and fell to the ground, and the saliva he had hidden flowed down the court.Suddenly it turned into a little Yuanfu, hovering in the court, chased by the servants, straight to the palace, and suddenly disappeared.At that time, the servant girl was only 12 years old, and she felt something in her heart when she happened to be rich and rich. Since then, her belly has gradually grown, as if she was pregnant.

The former king blamed the maid for not having a husband and conceiving, and she was imprisoned in a secluded room for 40 years.Ye Lai had pain in her abdomen, and suddenly gave birth to a daughter. The palace guard did not dare to hide it, so she had to tell the empress.

The empress said that this monster should not be tolerated. She ordered the waiter to take it away and read it in the ditch of abandonment.The servant girl deserves death.”

King Xuan said: "This is a matter of the previous dynasty. It has nothing to do with you."

Then he called the palace guard and went to Qingshui River to see where the baby girl was.

After a while, the trustee reported: "It has been drifted away by the flowing water." King Xuan did not doubt it.

In the early morning of the next day, Da Shi Boyang's father was called to tell Long Zhu about it, because he said: "This baby girl has died in the ditch. You try to occupy it, so as to see how the evil spirit will be wiped out?"

Boyang's father has finished making hexagrams, and he presents his words.The word says: Cry and laugh, laugh and cry. "The sheep were swallowed by ghosts, and the horses were chased by dogs. Be careful. Mi Hujixixiu Xuan Wang didn't understand it.

Boyang's father said: "Based on the affiliation of the twelve branches: the sheep is Wei, and the horse is Wu. Those who cry and laugh are signs of sorrow and joy. They should be in the year of Wuwei.

According to Chen Tuiyang, although the evil spirit has left the palace, it has not been eliminated. "

King Xuan was very unhappy when he heard the play.Then an order was issued: "Inside and outside the city, go door-to-door to interrogate the baby girls. Regardless of life or death, if someone fishes them up and offers them, they will be rewarded with [-] pieces of cloth and silk each; beheaded."

Du Bo, the senior official, was ordered to supervise the affairs, because Yao Ci also had the words "box arc and skip tendon", and then ordered the senior official Zuo Ru to supervise the city officials to patrol the courts, and not to make and sell mulberry bows and arrows with skip grass. Bags, offenders will be punished with death, the magistrate dare not neglect, leading a group of slaves, while lecturing, while patrolling.

At that time, all the people in the city obeyed, except for the villagers, who had not yet understood it.

On the next day of the tour, there was a woman holding several quiver bags, which were woven from skip grass, and a man followed with a dozen or so mulberry bows on his back.

He and his wife live in a remote village, and they go to the city to do business in the middle of the day.Before entering the city gate, he was bumped into by the magistrate and shouted: "Take down" the servants under his command, and first capture the woman.

Seeing that it was not the head, the man dropped his mulberry bow on the ground and fled away.

The magistrate locked up the woman and took them to Zuo Ru, the doctor, together with the mulberry, bow and skip bag.

Zuo Confucianism thought: "The two things we got are due to rumors. Kuang Taishi said that women are disasters. Now that we have got women, we can also reply to the king's decree."For those who violate the prohibition of selling, the law should put them to death.King Xuan ordered the woman to be beheaded.The mulberry bow and skip bag were burned and discarded in the market, as a precept for those who make and sell them.No problem.

The words are divided into two ends.Besides, the man who sold the mulberry bow ran away in a hurry, and he didn't know: "Why are my husband and wife in the lawsuit?" He also wanted to inquire about his wife, but he stayed ten miles away for the night.

The next morning, someone said: "Yesterday there was a woman at the north gate who made and sold mulberry bows and skip bags against the law. She was executed immediately when she got it."
