Spiritual energy revived, one person guarding the country

When Kunpeng was defeated by Styx, Master Nanhua opened his dream and introduced a trace of the soul of the Master of Demons into it. From then on, Kunpeng always existed in the form of a soul in the dream of his best friend Zhuang Zhou. The demon master Kunpeng died at this point. There is a poem saying:

Swinging in the sky to embrace the bright moon, the supreme master of all demons is Beiming.

Thousands of miles of ice seals Heluo, hiding in a corner for temporary peace.

Shouhua's immortal karma plan, the sky cabinet caused disaster for Emperor Wa.

The boundless blood stains the feathers, and I fantasize about traveling in peace.

Kunpeng's hatred had been eliminated, and Minghe knew that there were still two Buddhist kingdoms in the world, namely Snowland and Siam, so he ordered Meng Wutian Khan to send his troops into Mount Everest and slaughter all the people in the Snowland until the bones piled up like mountains and the blood was stained. Ice becomes a river. Styx destroyed the Snow Land Buddhist Kingdom, but Meng Wutian Khan was warlike and tried to continue southward to invade the land of Tiandu Nether Sect, but Styx stopped him.

The Mongol army moved toward the West Sea again. At this time, Nuwa was inspired by Kunpeng's dying actions and ordered the new ten demon saints of the demon sect to resist the Mongol advance in the far west and try their best to protect Shengli. But Minghe's intention was not to wipe out the tribes here, but to use a trick to seize the most precious Chaos Bell from the hands of the Great Sage Fuhai - this object was once owned by the Eastern Emperor Taiyi - and was also the plan of the Second Qing Dynasty. Yuanshi Tianzun then sent someone to teach Dongfang Shuo to get the Chaos Bell. Because Taoism had previously helped him in the underworld, and he couldn't control the most precious Chaos Bell, he gave the object to Dongfang Shuo, but he forged a karma with the demon clan.

Dongfang Shuo came to the earthly fairy world with the Chaos Bell, but because the fragrance of peaches overflowed in the North Sea, he went to steal peaches again. Later, he drank Dukang's wine and fell drunk in the North Ming. The Chaos Bell was also deceived by Shen Gongbao, the Lord of Water Divider. After leaving, Shen Gongbao took the Chaos Bell to Jin'ao Island and handed it over to the leader of Tongtian Cult. Tongtian was having a drink with Erqing in Biyou Palace at this time. He knew that this was a plan for the two Qings to reconcile with himself, so he happily accepted it, so he used the Chaos Bell as the foundation of the religion, reestablished Jiejiao, and broke the alliance between Confucius, Saint, Jie and Confucianism. A thought also caused the three pure Taoists to gather together to defeat Buddhism, the greatest enemy.

Confucianism also flourished in Japan at that time, Confucius often preached in Japan, and Zhu Xi's theory of heaven was also a "prominent school" in Japan. During the Song Dynasty in the Central Plains, the emperors mostly worshiped Xuanmen Shenxiao in order to extend the country's rule. However, they were invaded by barbarians from the north and remained in a corner. The popularity and fortune of the Central Plains dropped to the lowest level. Xuanmen sent immortals and gods down to earth in an attempt to help the Song Dynasty turn danger into safety, but to no avail. The barbarians in the north were so arrogant that they could hardly match them. Instead, they gradually took over the Central Plains because they worshiped Confucianism.

Taoism is arrogant, so the teaching is not spread to the barbarians. Buddhism is also facing a crisis due to the Nether Sect's extermination of the Dharma, and the spread of teaching is gradually slowing down. The barbarians were enlightened by Confucianism, respected Confucius, and stabilized the dragon base with the Heshi Bi. Instead, they truly became the orthodox people of the Central Plains and became the emperor of the Central Plains, making the peaceful Song Dynasty surrender to them.

At this point, Confucianism has truly been closely related to the destiny of the Central Plains. The six saints in the heavens were all shocked and regretted that they had not taken Confucius seriously before. They all wanted to use the Emperor's Catastrophe to completely kill Confucianism. There is a poem that says:

Confucianism flourished in Japan,

Pianan Song descended on the spirit.

Rong Di barbarian territory,

Entered the Zhongyuan Court.

Tiandao even regarded this incident as evidence that Confucianism was controlled by heavenly principles. Thinking that the prehistoric period has been disturbed by the laws of heaven and no longer operates according to one's own will. Heaven is afraid that all creatures living in this world will once again instigate disputes like they did at the beginning of chaos, and may even directly disobey Heaven and kill to prove the Way. The Confucianism of Confucius is the representative of the heavenly principles that guide this scene.

No.17 [Two calamities merge, Chi Ming establishes the emperor]

The way of heaven not only caused the Kaihuang catastrophe to come directly, but also used its own will to suppress the prehistoric dharma lineage, making the spiritual energy of all realms weak and withered, which was called the "Red Bright Tribulation". Tiandao tried to use the two calamities of Chiming and Kaihuang to completely reshape the prehistoric world pattern, change the protagonists in the world, and establish an immortal class again.

The two calamities merged and appeared at the same time. Heavenly Dao Hongjun summoned the Seven Saints to gather in Zixiao Palace to hold a meeting to reveal the tribulation and discuss the ashes after the tribulation. This is a business. Therefore, it is decreed by destiny that after the two tribulations merge, there will be four religions and three commerce.

In the Xianjie Meeting, the Five Sages of Buddhism and Taoism all resented Confucius. Although Nuwa had worked with Confucius, she was in a dilemma because of her friendship with Zhunti and Jieyin. Hongjun spoke at this time and declared that the law of heaven should be suppressed and that the law of heaven would never be manifested. Nuwa then stood aside with the Five Saints. The Six Sages isolated Confucius, but with the help of Heaven, they worked together to suppress Confucianism. Confucius left the Zixiao Palace angrily, and withdrew from the Four Religions Conference with Confucianism.

After expelling Confucius, Sanqing wanted to take the opportunity to use the words of heaven to attack Buddhism. Unexpectedly, Zhunti Bodhisattva spoke first and listed to Hongjun what the ancestor of the Nether Sect Minghe did after being supported by Sanqing, and exposed his relationship with Confucianism. The fact of union. The Sanqing Dynasty was shocked, not knowing that Minghe secretly communicated with Confucianism, and hurriedly asked Hongjun to plead guilty. I asked my junior brother to go to the world and the lower world to perform meritorious service and eliminate Minghe.

After Confucius left Zixiao Palace, he went to Japan to give lectures. As a result, the Central Plains was in chaos and suffering, and Japan was not only full of immortal energy, but the people on the island had excellent roots, and they also had their old friend Yi Zangno Zun to help them and teach together. Confucius then opened a shrine in Japan.

But Styx was completely unaware of the disaster coming from the sky. Minghe didn't know the destiny, and still thought that he was acting on behalf of Heaven to carry out the great calamity of the emperor. He made Mengwu Tianhan know the method of Confucianism, and wanted to help Confucius replace the demon Lord Mahakala as the Lord God. Little did they know that the Mongolian witches had already converted countless people to Buddhism when they were conquering the Snowy Region. They took the opportunity to face Mahakala directly and turned him into the great protector of Buddhism. The Mengwu people in the Snow Land gradually became dissatisfied with the Nether Sect and began to rebel.

The ancestor of Minghe finally gathered the Mongol tribes, each led by the eight sons of Tianhan, known as the "Group of Fierces", and each worshiped a Mara from the Nether Sect as their teacher. Tianhan gave an order, and a group of murderers attacked the Central Plains. Minghe went to the snow-capped Mount Everest and personally tried to destroy the Samye Temple and restore the Wutian Yuanshen.

At this time, the leader of the Tongtian Sect, the Holy Mother Wudang, the Golden Hoop Immortal Lord, and others raided the Six Paths of Reincarnation, freed them from the hands of the Styx, and brought the evil ghosts, evil spirits, and reincarnations of various religions in the underworld into the Jie Sect. A Buddhist monk was established as the wheel-turning king to command the ten palaces of Yama, standing side by side with the Fengdu Emperor. Then he entered the Netherworld Blood Sea and suppressed it with the Chaos Bell, turning it into a sea of ​​death. The Asura clan would either die or surrender, with no possibility of escape.

Ancestor Minghe learned that he hurried back to the Blood Sea, but when he passed by the Wangchuan River, he met the Flower Master of the Other World, which he had done to deal with Hou Tu. Today, due to the sea of ​​blood, Tongtian used the Chaos Bell to suppress him, and he could not use his magical powers. Instead, he committed his own sin and was trapped outside the underworld by the Flower Lord of the other world. Tongtian welcomes the appearance of the ancestral shaman Houtu. Houtu uses Xuji soil to drain the sea of ​​blood, and sucks all the objects in it into his belly to remove the filth accumulated here in the world. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also used the method of the Seven righteousnesses to save the flower owner of that world, eliminating a major trouble in the underworld, and released the ancestor of the Hades River. Taoist Tongtian, Buddhist Ksitigarbha, and Wu Clan Hou Tu then joined forces to destroy the Styx, and used the body of Styx to refine the blood ripple plate as a Hou Tu magic weapon. There is a poem that says:

The flowers blooming in that world dominate the underworld, and the Shura demons here are boundless.

Yuantu took off his sheath and cut off the cause and effect, and Abi came out to cut off the great thousand.

The sea of ​​blood boils and accumulates filth, and the seven righteousnesses purify the injustices of all living beings.

The fire of karma has burned up the red lotus and extinguished it, leaving nothing left to refine the ripple plate.

The Demonic Nether Sect was also destroyed together with the Nether Blood Sea and the leader Styx, and turned into nothing. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva saved the remaining Asura demons and converted them to Mahayana, claiming to be the leader of the new Netherworld. This Netherworld Sect is actually a subordinate of Buddhism.

During the Great Tribulation of Chiming, the prehistoric Dharma lineage was suppressed by the way of heaven. Therefore, the spiritual energy of all realms did not appear, and the cultivation and merits were scattered. Later, Tuben gained great merit and almost became a saint because of his previous incarnation in the six realms of reincarnation to protect the souls in all realms. Now he purifies the underworld and eliminates those who disobey the way of heaven, thus becoming the first witch clan saint. After receiving the Sanqing guide, he was introduced to Zixiao Palace to pay homage to Hongjun. There is a poem praising this first shaman saint:

The emperor and the empress are so powerful,

The ancestral witch protects the soul.

Beyond the sin of reincarnation,

Protect my old clan and return.

However, the ancestor of Styx also died and fell into reincarnation to rebuild. Minghe thought that he would unite with the Three Pure Ones, act on behalf of Heaven, and win the favor of Heaven. In the end, he only made a wedding dress to reach Heaven, and became a saint in the land of the underworld. After all, they are just one chess piece. Styx's death was also due to his previous heavy killing karma and he suffered the consequences.

The tribes of the Mongol shaman tribe in the human world have already turned their backs on the Nether Sect and have stopped moving forward in the northern border of the Central Plains. As early as when Minghe was still destroying the Buddha in the snowy area, Qiu Chuji, an immortal from the Xuanmen Quanzhen Sect, was ordered by Yu Qingming to go alone to the overseas shaman camp to meet Tianhan, so that Tianhan knew the destiny and rebelled against Minghe. Self-reliant, he no longer invaded the Central Plains. It was because Qiu Chuji stopped the killing with just one word.

The River Styx has been destroyed, and the four sects gathered again in Zixiao Palace, becoming the Four Sects and Two Shang. The Confucian sage Confucius is still absent, but the sage of the Wu clan has made up for it, so it is still the Four Religions. At this time, Xuanmen Qi has recovered, but Buddhism is still deeply involved in the previous troubles in the Styx and continues to recuperate. Among the Three Purities, the leader of Tongtian had the deepest quarrel with Buddhism. Laozi then asked Tongtian to list Buddhism's disrespect for morality to Hongjun, and denounced Buddhism as a heretic, saying that he wanted to destroy it by the way of heaven. Zhunti Bodhisattva retorted harshly and strived for the orthodox position of Buddhism Tiandu and other countries to argue with the leader of Tongtian.

During the debate between Buddhism and Taoism, Patriarch Hongjun said nothing and only stared at the new sage. The Taiqing sage Laozi knew the meaning of the way of heaven, so he no longer argued with Buddhism. Yuanshi Tianzun, however, was determined to clarify the exclusive status of Xuanmen. He stood up and joined his junior brother in the fight against Zhunti. He also opened his mouth to participate in the argument.

Nuwa also knew the will of Heaven, and recommended the lower realm of Houtu to Heavenly Dao Hongjun to continue to carry out the Great Tribulation of the Founding of the Emperor. This plays into the hands of heaven. Tiandao Hongjun put aside the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism, and made Houtu the Holy Mother of the shaman tribe in the lower realm, ordering her to continue to lead the Mengwu and unify the entire Hunyu territory. Due to the confluence of the two calamities, the cultivation base was scattered, and many of the monks' spells failed. This also made the Wu Clan's body refining skills unparalleled. Heaven wants to protect the witch clan and cleanse all realms.

So far, there are four religions and two religions. In the end, the two great religions of Buddhism and Taoism are of little benefit, and everything depends on the way of heaven. Yuanshi Tianzun was dissatisfied with the way of heaven for the first time.

No.18 [Reincarnation of Zhenwu, Reborn as a God]

Several dynasties ago, Taoist Zhunti intended to make good friends with the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother in order to ensure victory in the great catastrophe of the founding of the emperor. Then he got a Yanhuo three-jeweled tree from the demon sect Lu Ya Taoist and gave it to Yao Chi. Little did they know that this tree was used by Saint Nuwa to subdue the ferocious beast Jian. The roots of the tree go deep into the ground to lock the soul of Jian. At that time, Buddhism was at its peak, and most of the heavenly guards were disciples of Buddhism, such as Li Jing, Nezha, the Four Heavenly Kings, etc., who all converted to Hinayana.

Now that the treasure tree has moved into Qiongzhou in Yaochi, it has also revived the spirit of Huan. Jian gradually reshaped his body with the help of the three-bead tree of Yanhuo, and absorbed the spiritual energy of Yaochi. He grew into a monster named General, who made a big fuss in Yaochi, and no one could subdue him. All the saints, four religions and two merchants did not take action, so the heaven was almost destroyed, the Jade Emperor and the Queen both died and fell into reincarnation.

Tiandao Hongjun then agreed on the method of conferring gods for the second time, reestablishing the throne of the gods in heaven, replacing the emperor of heaven, and depriving all the old gods of their thrones and demoting them from heaven. At this time, the period set by the third business office of the Four Religions has not yet reached, and all the saints have already gone to Zixiao Palace to discuss the matter of conferring two gods. In the name of incompetence in teaching, Tiandao ordered the three emperors of Huoyun Palace to abdicate, and established the position of Emperor Wu of Yuanzu, so that Meng Wutian Khan could do it. All the saints were in an uproar. Nuwa was the only one who knew the way of heaven and wanted to change the protagonist of heaven and earth, but she was definitely not the Mongolian shaman. After all, the Mongol shamans are of mixed blood and have developed spiritual intelligence, while the pure-blood shamans have no spiritual intelligence, so there is no natural principle in their bodies. And the way of heaven used Mengwu as a tool to cleanse all living beings in all worlds, and established a race of people who strictly abide by the teachings of heaven and earth as the protagonists of heaven and earth.

The generals caused trouble in the heaven and were expelled to the lower world by the four elephants, where they lived by sucking life and flesh. After the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother came to earth, due to their noble cultivation in their previous lives, one became the Zhenwu Emperor in Wudang Mountain, and the other became the Holy Mother Mazu in Meizhou, South China Sea.

Emperor Zhenwu subdued demons and demons in the lower realm, and subdued the turtle and snake demons, the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming, the two Leitian generals, the Fire King Ma Tianjun, the Five Thunders and Five Sounds and other heavenly generals. In the old days, all the generals in the Heavenly Court were accounted for, and they called themselves Demon Soldiers. They conquered the Tatars for the Song Dynasty. They were respected as gods. All the people visited Wudang and built golden palaces. There is a poem that says:

The real martial arts demon,

The tortoise and the snake are old ministers.

Marching north through the desert road,

The fragrance disappears and the suffering disappears.

The Holy Mother Mazu attained enlightenment by peering into a well, and became the Goddess of the Sea who rides waves. She wears a bun in her bun to show her aspirations, and reads many sacred books. In the southern wilderness, he prayed for rain to cure diseases, planted medicine to save people, turned trees into trees to protect boats, captured ghosts and subdued demons, and solved misfortunes with clever strategies. Mazu followed the traces of the water demon, faced the generals, and was led by Yu Qing, the First Heavenly Lord of the Yuan Dynasty, to join Emperor Zhenwu to eliminate the evil of the fall of Heaven. There is a poem about Mother Mazu saying:

The God who rides the waves and the sea,

The sail bun reflects the ripples.

The boat-protecting flags and flags trembled,

The queen of heaven trapped the generals.

The two reincarnated gods of the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor respected Yuan Shi as their teacher, and Yuan Shi encouraged him to recall his past life. It turns out that Yuan Shi deliberately did not take action when his generals were in chaos in the heaven, so that all the old immortal classes would fall into reincarnation, so that they could reunite the heavenly people in the mortal world and try to recover. Emperor Zhenwu and the Holy Mother Mazu temporarily worshiped the Chan Cult.

At this time, the sage Amitabha took back the sky poison and restored the Buddha's light, but he had to step up his guard against the Mengwu invasion. Although Mengwu did not invade Tiandu, they were eyeing the Buddhist kingdoms such as Siam in the South China Sea and had long wanted to invade. Hou Tu also followed the will of heaven to calm the disputes in the world, established Kublai Khan as the Mongol Khan, and called it the Yuan Dynasty. Also seeing that the Mongol people already had spiritual wisdom, and there were Buddhas and Netherworld believers, they had the intention of establishing a witchcraft religion.

Kublai Khan received help from his descendants, destroyed the barbarians in the northern part of the Central Plains, took control of the Central Plains, and confronted the Pian'an Song Dynasty. Kublai Khan also obtained Chi You's method of cultivating the Twelve Heavenly Gods from the Jiuli secret text. He tried to gather the souls of his twelve ancestral witches, but only eleven of the true spirits of the ancestral witches returned. Between heaven and earth, apart from the twelve ancestral witches of the witch clan, only the great witch Jiufeng has the soul. Hou Tu then sent an order to Luzhou, the northern capital of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and ordered the great shaman Jiufeng to sacrifice his soul to help his compatriots, the shaman clan, avenge their shame, survive the Great Tribulation of the Founding of the Emperor, and become the protagonists of heaven and earth.
