Spiritual energy revived, one person guarding the country

Zhongjun established himself as a Confucian leader while still living, but he had little cultivation. No one in Confucianism has great supernatural powers, only Confucius left his merits and virtues to protect himself. Zhongjun used He's Bi to control the fate of Confucianism and combine the fate of the human race in the Central Plains with the fate of Confucianism.

Since then, Confucianism has become increasingly popular, and it has become the orthodox trend for generations. Kong Sheng was promoted to King Wenxuan. With the energy of the stars obtained in the Wenchang Star Palace, he used the four elephants of Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu to refine the magic weapon Kirin. seize.

When Confucius became the leader of Confucianism, he went to the Zixiao Palace to pay homage to the saint of heaven. Hongjun gave him the magic weapon Jiangshan Se, which is the most precious treasure of ritual and music. Leader Tongtian also listened to Hongjun's sermons there, and could only return to his home monastery after reaching the age of [-]. Tongtian saw that Confucius also advocated teaching without distinction, and there were many sages among his disciples. He was so compassionate that he bestowed Confucianism with the intention of supporting it.

So far, although Confucianism has been established and is known as the Holy Religion of the Central Plains, it has never been taken seriously by Taoism, Buddhism, and Netherworld religions. They all think that it is weak and inadequate. The leader of Tongtian Cult, who had been listening to lectures in Zixiao Palace for many years, also wanted to make a comeback, trying to merge Jie and Confucianism into one religion.

No.13 [Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and felt like returning to Zen]

Although the Central Plains is the origin of the human race and the place where dragons are destined to rise, there are always wars and endless karma. The accumulated karma is no less than that of the two lich clans. sect. Therefore, the great catastrophe is coming, and the way of heaven intends to end the turmoil in the world, so that both domestic and overseas countries can be ruled by one person, and they will have stability for thousands of years. It is called the "Great Tribulation of the Founding of the Emperor".

Since the unification of Emperor Gaozu, the human world has been divided into two parts: the continents within the sea and the vast wilderness overseas. The Central Plains is located in the center of the sea, and is also the heart of heaven and earth. There is Nanming Tianchi in the south, which is deserted; in the east there are the Japanese islands, where immortals live scattered. In addition to the Central Plains people, the Huns and Quanrong people in the Western Regions have also emerged one after another. There is also the snowy Mount Everest in the southwest, which is severely cold all year round, demarcating the boundary between the Central Plains and the Western Sky Poison. To the west of the Western Region is the holy mountain Kunlun, which leads directly to the heaven.

At this time in the Western Sky Poison Kingdom, although the merits of Hengshui were gained by the Netherworld Sect, the merits of educating the people and stopping killings and doing good were attributed to Buddhism. Zhunti Bodhisattva also traveled to the East. Because he was both Buddha and Taoist, he explained the essence of Samana in the language of the East's sect, making people in the northwest of Nanming and close to the Central Plains believe in the Buddha and regard the white elephant as a sacred object.

Zhunti then built a Taoist temple in Xieyue Sanxing Cave in Fangcun Mountain, Lingtai. Because it was located at the intersection of the four poles, it was convenient for preaching. The dojo was established just when the Stone Monkey of Aolai Kingdom was born. Because it was the stone left by Nuwa to mend the sky, it has countless karma and luck. Zhunti introduced him to the Lingtai Dojo, named him Sun Wukong, taught him the 72 transformations, and the eighty-nine mysterious skills, so as to make good friends with the saint Nuwa.

Who knows that Hericium has a naughty nature, and after completing his studies, he became the king of Shuiliandong in Huaguo Mountain, and became sworn sworn kinsmen with the leader of the Tongtian Cult, Niu Demon King, a disciple of the outer cultivator, and they were collectively known as the Seven Great Demon Saints, which was a big disaster. Sun Wukong once again made a big fuss in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, and obtained the Divine Needle of Dinghai, which attracted many attacks from the Heavenly Court, all of which relied on the teachings passed down by Saint Zhunti to defeat him. There is a poem about this stone monkey:

The spiritual platform becomes a square inch with a single thought, and the slanting moon reflects the brilliance of the three stars.

The earth evil spirit manifests the number of fossil monkeys, and the eighty-nine mysterious skills somersault in pursuit.

He calls himself the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, and the emperor loses his authority due to the chaos in the world.

Kaihuang's robbery was finally over, and there was no one to rush An Tian's banquet.

Sun Wukong calls himself the "Monkey King" and joins forces to defeat the heavenly soldiers, causing the Jade Emperor to lose his authority again, and chaos breaks out in the human world. At this time, the overseas wilderness was divided into four wildernesses: east, west, south, and north, each leading to one pole. Among them, the Southern Wilderness was wild and barren, and because the demon clan was so powerful in the past, the humans of the A clan had never been able to thrive and were almost extinct. Fortunately, the two Lich clans gradually weakened after the catastrophe. Gan Shen, a man, spied the demon master Kunpeng from the Nanming Tianchi. He was able to become his disciple and unified the Southern Wilderness. He established the Shouhua Kingdom at the place where Hou Yi shot the sun in the past and became the Four Wildernesses.

All of them have black skin, eat sweet wood, and are born to live eight hundred years. However, Queen Gan Shenxiang did not respect Kunpeng and sent envoys to the Central Plains to worship the three human emperors and saints. Kunpeng was angry and wanted to flood his country with the water of Nanming. Fortunately, the powerful man Xin Yang usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and began to worship Kunpeng as his honour. From then on, the people of Shouhua became immortal and became the overlords overseas, known as the immortal people. Xinyang was Emperor Piyang and called himself a disciple of Kunpeng.

At that time, outside the East China Sea, south of Yingzhou and west of Fusang, there was a country named Shebishi, which was established by Ganyushi, one of the twelve ancestral shamans, Shebishi. Because Shebishi controls the four seasons of weather, Ganyushi is also famous for his unique witchcraft. As a result, his country is covered in black smoke, flaming waves are rolling, and the sound of thunder is endless, like a hell on earth.

The Shebi Corpse Kingdom wreaked havoc on the sea, using the technique of hurricane to form an abyss, creating a disaster. Kunpeng and the demon son and the demon grandson traveled back and forth between the north and south poles. They encountered disaster in the Shebishi Kingdom on the way. Therefore, they wanted to get rid of them, so they passed down the demon method and sent their disciple Fei Yi to the Shouhua Kingdom to be the demon holy feathered serpent. worship.

The Shouhua Kingdom became increasingly powerful, and Emperor Piyang also intended to expedition to the East China Sea to make achievements. However, Fei Yi proposed a plan to the demon master, willing to go to the Central Plains, use the Central Plains people's army to conquer the Witch Kingdom, and avenge the death of the red dragon - the great ancestor killed the White Snake in the past uprising, and the white snake was Fei Yi's true body. Fortunately, Kunpeng rescued him and gave him two wings, so he could be resurrected as a feathered serpent.

Fat Yi transformed into Wang Mang, a native of the Central Plains. In order not to be seen through by Taoism, he deliberately supported Confucianism and restored the royal system of rituals and music. He was called the living Duke of Zhou and confuse the princes, nobles and people of the world. After receiving the abdication of the throne, he proclaimed himself emperor. He committed wanton chaos and sent his royal master to conquer the East China Sea, which ruined the fortunes of human religion and Confucianism and caused a lot of trouble.

When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the four seas of the Central Plains collapsed and the world was in chaos. The world of heaven fell into the chaos of Sun Wukong again and was unable to pacify the human world. In order to avenge the great ancestor, Fei Yi threw the Yuan Qi Luck and Clan Bi in his palm out of the court hall, breaking the corners. As a result, Confucianism was on the verge of collapse. There is a poem describing Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty:

The Red Emperor promoted the white snake righteousness in Han Dynasty, and the fat legacy turned into feathers and disturbed the Central Plains.

Pretending to be respectful, ceremonial, and happy to restore the royal system, the Duke of Zhou was confused and confused while he was still alive.

Zen Feng tampered with the orthodox destiny, and the world fell apart.

Once the Liu family's Qianqiu is over, giant kings will appear and spread.

Dongfang Shuo was about to ascend to heaven at that time, but saw that the Han Dynasty was in decline and the Heavenly Court was doing nothing, so he detained Hongchen and summoned the immortals of Xuanmen to discuss major events in the Central Plains. Explain and teach Sun Bin to figure out why Feiyi usurped the throne. He went to Yan to meet the great wizard Jiufeng and told him about the crime of being extravagant than the corpse country. Jiufeng was the only great spiritual sage in the witch clan besides the twelve ancestral witches. He was also a disciple of Xuan Ming and had a very high level of cultivation. He then led the tribe and the immortals to destroy the corpse of Ganyu, and filled the abyss of the East China Sea with his corpse, thus opening up the sea. Unobstructed. Jiufeng ordered the great witch Tianyu to rule this extravagant kingdom. Tianyu changed the name of his country to Tianwu, because Tianyu was originally from the Tianwu tribe.

In the end, Sun Wukong was captured by the Supreme Laojun Saint with a diamond bracelet, but because he had cultivated eighty-nine mysterious skills, no matter what method the Heavenly Court used, he could not be harmed. And since I know that this is a quasi-proposed plan by the West, because the "Emperor Founding" catastrophe is coming, I want to use the three corpses of Wukong to win the throne of the Human Emperor, in order to damage the power of the Taoist sect. Laojun refined the Wukong root in the Bagua furnace and gave him fiery eyes and golden eyes, so that he would eventually become a monster.

But I didn't know that Wukong was rebellious by nature, so he knocked over Laojun's furnace when he was perfecting his fiery eyes and golden eyes, and then made a big fuss in the heavenly palace, making it difficult for all the generals in heaven to capture him. In desperation, Haotian asked the Tathagata Buddha of the West to bring Wukong back to his throne. The Tathagata used Wuzhishan to suppress him, saying that someone would come to redeem him in 500 years. The Jade Emperor then held a great meeting in Antian and had a banquet with the immortals of the three religions.

When the Shebishi Kingdom collapsed, Sun Bin led the Taoist leaders of various countries, used secret techniques to help Emperor Guang Wu restore the Han Dynasty, and used the flint and meteor method to trap Feiyi and kill him in Chang'an. After that, Sun Bin reincarnated Zhang Liang as the Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling, which prospered Taoism in the Central Plains and opened up the Sanqing Dharma, which became extremely prosperous. During the reigns of Emperors Ming and Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Amitabha Buddha appeared in the emperor's dreams, which spread Buddhism to the Central Plains.

From then on, Heavenly Poison was spread in Buddhism. On Mount Everest in the snowy area of ​​Tiandu North, because Mo Luo Wutian practiced here, demons were rampant and people were hanging upside down. Amitabha Buddha was determined to save the people here, so he used the Golden Lotus of Merit to reveal golden light, and caused the twelve-grade world-destroying black lotus under the Wutian Throne to give birth to a god named Padmasambhava. Although the Padmasambhava was born from the black lotus, it was nourished by the golden lotus. It was not corrupted by demonic teachings, but devoted itself to the Buddha.

Wutian was angry and Amitabha broke down the world-destroying Black Lotus, but because he was a saint, he had to vent his anger on Lotus. Unexpectedly, Padmasambhava left Wutian to practice Taoism, spread Buddhism widely in the snowy land, and made everyone convert to the Three Jewels. He also received the guidance of Avalokitesvara and used the mantra of the three times as the law to destroy Wutian just like Sakyamuni. Wutian turned himself into a demon, fell into reincarnation, and later reincarnated as the demon Lord Mahakala.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva wants to make Padmasambhava the master of Mount Everest in the snow, but Padmasambhava has also entered reincarnation and is willing to guide the people in the snowy land to the right path again as a human being. Padmasambhava then used his merits to become a recluse, Padmasambhava, and was revered as the great treasure guru.

Padmasambhava was reincarnated as a sacrifice for the poor. When he was about to be sacrificed by the demonic kingdom, he summoned a group of slaves to escape on horseback. He also fought against the heroes on the way and was honored as King Gesar. The Buddhist Samye Temple was built on top of Mount Everest to gain the fruits of past lives and was named Jueru. The ancestor of Styx saw that King Gesar had the power to unify the snowy area, so he sent a group of demons to invade. King Gesar made a tantric magical weapon and summoned a group of Buddhists to descend to the realm, making it difficult for all demons to invade. The snow-capped Mount Everest eventually became a place where Buddha light shines.

It's just that although Buddhism has flourished and Nuwa is partial, it still lacks the three great magical tools and is inherently deficient. In order to unite Buddhism and Taoism and become the largest religion, they decided to travel to the west, spread the wonderful Dharma of Mahayana bliss to the east, and divide the destiny of Taoism. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Laozi and the Qing Dynasty thought that they were Pangu's authentic sect. How could they be on par with Buddha? They had already thought of countermeasures. There is a poem describing it:

The snow-capped Mount Everest has no horizon, and the golden light reveals the lotus flowers.

Take refuge in the Sangha jewel and follow the right path, and all the demons will be destroyed by the mantra of the three lifetimes.

Reincarnation is like a Sangye building, supported by auspicious clouds of Tantric Dharma.

Illuminated and prosperous all over the world, we discussed returning to the West to fight for Buddhism and Taoism.

No.14 [Journey to the West for Buddhist scriptures, disputes between Yue and Tang Dynasties]

After Wang Mang usurped the throne, Jiuding in the Central Plains was usurped by traitors several times, and its education was in ruins. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin was reincarnated as Cao Cao, Peng Yue was reincarnated as Liu Bei, and Yingbu was reincarnated as Sun Quan. The world was divided into three parts. Xie Liang Laolong made a big mistake because he was reincarnated as Xiang Yu. He also reincarnated to atone for Guan Yu's sins. He established himself as a loyal and righteous martial sage and returned to heaven after his death. He is the Dharma Protector Marshal of the Guan Sheng Emperor and the Buddhist Jialan Bodhisattva. Soon after the Three Kingdoms returned to the Jin Dynasty, barbarians rebelled again, and the princes fought for the throne, causing the Central Plains to be divided between the north and the south.

But he said that the great calamity of Emperor Kaihuang was about to come, and according to the will of heaven, the unification of the human world must come from the Central Plains. This triggered various sects to preach to the Central Plains in an attempt to convert the True Dragon Emperor to their sect.

At this time, Tathagata Buddha's Hinayana Buddhism was also increasingly prosperous among the people, accounting for one-third of the fortune of people's teachings. After the rise of Taoist master Zhang Daoling, Xuanmen became more and more followers through the enlightenment of Tai Chi Immortal Weng Ge Xuan, Miao Ji Zhenjun Xu Xun and other real people.

The Great Tribulation of the Founding of the Emperor was supposed to have occurred during the Sui Dynasty. At that time, the Southern and Northern Dynasties were standing side by side. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty unified the Central Plains and named it "Kaihuang". He also conquered the barbarians in the east. Taoism and Buddhism were all circling here, hoping to become the emperor's teacher. Knowing this well, it led Emperor Yang Guang to usurp power and seize the throne to replace his father as the master of unifying the country and build canals with the intention of invading the country.

Since the creation of the Earthly Immortal Realm by Zhen Yuanzi, the immortals have been at ease and at ease, not wanting to face another massacre. Confucius, the leader of Confucianism, did not agree with the will of Heaven to unify the Central Plains with one massacre and catastrophe. He wanted the Sui lord to use the "benevolence and virtue" of Confucianism to win submission from all over the world, but Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not listen. Confucius then went to the earthly immortal world, and joined forces with Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the earthly immortals in Hezhou, Xiniu, and Chisongzi, the ancestor of the Five Elements. He took the three sacred treasures of the Zixiao Palace, the Jiangshan Se, the Earthly Script, and the Five Elements Drum, and shared them with the Emperor Wa's sage's merits in creating human beings. Suppress worldly karma so as to delay the catastrophe.

Not long after, Emperor Yang went on a military rampage, but the catastrophe did not appear, so the nine states rebelled and the people of the world revolted. In the name of pacifying the Central Plains, Confucius asked the Heavenly Court to send Emperor Ziwei to the lower world to incarnate as Li Shimin, wipe out all the bandits, and unify the Eastern Territory. In order to help Confucius, the Four Elephant Gods also reincarnated Shan Xiongxin, a blue dragon, and Luo Cheng, a white tiger reincarnation, and they both descended to earth in their incarnations.

Confucianism should have flourished due to this merit, but because Li Shimin worshiped Xuanmen, Taoism became the state religion. Shan Xiongxin and Luo Cheng were killed after failing to help the Tang Dynasty. Shan Xiongxin's deity, Qinglong, was still unable to return to his throne because he resented Li Shimin. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the Li family's revered Taode Tianzun incarnated Li Dan as the ancestor and was named Emperor Xuanyuan. The Taoist sect is at its peak, reaching an unprecedented peak.

At this time, Zhunti wanted to replace Sakyamuni's Hinayana method of self-cultivation with Mahayana Buddhism, and spread the Buddha's message to the east. And because Sakyamuni was the great disciple of Jie Jie in his previous life, Taoist Duobao, Zhunti merged the two religions, Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism, and abdicated with Jie Yin, allowing Tathagata to be the leader of Buddhism. From then on, Sakyamuni no longer acted rashly, and had no choice but to devote himself wholeheartedly to Buddhism.

Jin Chanzi, Sakyamuni's second disciple, was reincarnated as Tripitaka master Xuanzang and met Li Shimin. Because Li Shimin had received help from Shaolin Buddhism during his uprising in the past, and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva received the decree of Amitabha and went to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, to show his holiness, he was given a brocade cassock and a nine-ring tin staff made from lotuses bred in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool in the Western Paradise. With two acquired treasures, Xuanzang was ordered by Li Shimin to travel westward to obtain the Mahayana Tripitaka Sutra. On the way, he passed through Wuzhi Mountain, rescued the Great Sage, and became Sun Wukong's master. He also successively accepted Ao Lie, the son of the Dragon King of Xihai Guangjin, Zhu Gangxi, the reincarnation of Tianpeng Marshal, and Sha Wujing, the roller-curtain general, as his disciples, and went to Tiandu to learn scriptures. Naturally, Xuanmen would not just wait for orders, and Sakyamuni also secretly intervened to privately pardon the monsters and obstruct them on the grounds of improper care. When Laojun's mount Qingniu was in trouble, he sent an Arhat to "lost" eighteen golden cinnabar sands and gave them to him. Laojun, together with the Heavenly Court, faced 81 difficulties and obstructed Tang Monk and his party, but they were all resolved one by one.
