Transcending the quasi-tidy history of the great struggle

On this day, the sky was bright and clear, the breeze was blowing, and the worry-free forest was rustling.Zhunti had finished his sermon, and all the disciples were about to leave the Sanxing Cave of the Oblique Moon.

"Narjuna, leave slowly." Zhunti said suddenly.

Bodhisattva Nagarjuna bowed and said, "Master, what else can I tell my disciples?"

"You have been listening to lectures under my seat for a long time, and you are my founder disciple. If you are proficient in the teachings and have received my true teachings, King Peacock Ming and others are far behind you..." Zhunti said slowly.

Before Zhunti finished speaking, Nagarjuna clasped his hands together and said, "Master's praise is ridiculous."

Zhunti shook his head and continued: "After conferring the gods, the Taoist ancestor summoned all the saints to the Zixiao Palace and ordered the saints not to descend to the mortal world. Now that Sakyamuni has entered Lingshan, most of his disciples in the world practice the Hinayana method. There is no successor to the Mahayana Dharma, everyone is suspicious of the Dharma, and the Western Land is in chaos. Therefore, I want to trouble you today to enter the world, first to promote the Mahayana teachings, to overcome the sea of ​​suffering, and to save sentient beings; I have an unbroken lineage, are you willing?"

"The disciple is naturally willing." Nagarjuna said.

"Well, you can imitate Sakyamuni, reincarnate into the human world, and experience the pain of life, old age, sickness and death. This will be of great benefit to your practice." Zhunti said again, "If you want to become a great tool, you must first sharpen it. As the saying goes, "dust Lao Jiong got out of trouble very much, so he made a tight end of the rope. If you don’t go through a bit of cold, how can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms.’ That’s the reason.”

"Thank you, Master, for pointing out the maze."

Afterwards, Nagarjuna Bodhisattva was reincarnated, following the lineage of Maming Bodhisattva, carried forward Mahayana Buddhism, wrote Buddhist classics such as "On the Middle Way", "On the Great Wisdom", "Ten Dwelling Viposha Theory", and founded the Madhyamaka theory, which was regarded as " The insight is profound, the sage of righteousness" is respected by the disciples of Mahayana and Yiying Buddhism.

Adhering to the master's order, Nagarjuna Bodhisattva passed down the Zhunti Dharma door again, fearing that future generations of disciples would not understand it, he personally wrote the Zhunti prayer to discuss the mystery of the Zhunti mantra.These are all things for later, so I won't mention them for now.

Returning to the East, Lao Tzu left five thousand words to educate the world, and the "Tao Te Ching" was passed down to guide all beings to be pure-minded and ascetic.

Soon after, Confucius came out, advocating the way of benevolence, loyalty, forgiveness, self-restraint and ritual, respecting ghosts and gods and keeping a distance, teaching the people to open up people's wisdom and live with benevolence, justice and morality.Since then, the folk customs have been enlightened, and blind sacrifices are no longer made; the separation between heaven and man has become even greater, and the intersection between mortals and monks in the world has decreased.Confucius thus obtained great merit.

When he asked Lao Tzu back then, Lao Tzu saw that he was very talented and thought of accepting him as an apprentice, but Confucius didn't want to follow the way of the world, so he pretended to give up.It's also strange to say that Confucius really didn't have the slightest level of cultivation in him, but there is no way for a ghost monk in the world to hurt him.

In his later years, Confucius wrote a book with peace of mind and said that occasionally there is a streak of purple air, which goes straight to the sky. It is difficult for ordinary people to see it with naked eyes, but monks can see it at a glance.What's more, the purple air will burst into thin air, soaring straight into the sky, emptying like a cloud of celebration, and even faintly has the air of a saint.

After Laozi and Confucius, the land of Kyushu showed a lively atmosphere of thinking: Confucianism has Mencius, Zisi, and Xunzi; Mohism has Mozi, Qinzi, and Suichaozi; Shang Yang, Shen Buhai, Han Feizi, and Li Si; famous families include Huizi, Gongsun Long, and Yin Wenzi; strategists have Guiguzi, Su Qin, and Zhang Yi; military families have Sun Zi, Wu Zi, and Sun Bin; miscellaneous families have Lu Buwei and Shizi; , the doctor has Bian Que, the farmer has Xu Xing...

All of a sudden, all the saints contended.Except for the Yinyang family, which was founded by a loose cultivator sect, the Yinyang sect, the rest of the sects are of mortal origin and have no cultivation at all.The explanations of the sages of various schools are purely to educate all living beings and teach them the way to behave in the world, so that the society of the world can form its own system, and civilization can multiply without relying on the power of monks.

In addition to the emergence of hundreds of schools, another incident happened in the world, which affected the entire Eastern monk world and caused a great impact.

This matter has to be traced back hundreds of years ago, when the gods were conferred at the beginning of Zhou Dynasty.At that time, when the separation between heaven and man was divided, Yuanshi Tianzun left Yuxu Palace on Kunlun Mountain, set up a ban, and ordered Jiang Ziya to achieve the realm of earth and fairy before taking charge.Afterwards, he brought along the teaching disciples to shatter the void, and went to the Miluo Tianyu Qingjing to open up a new palace to practice together.

Jiang Ziya's aptitude is blunt. He served as Qihou for several years and was reincarnated after being autopsyed.He knew that his cultivation was shallow and could not fully represent the human origin of the interpretation and teaching, so he changed the name of his Dharma branch to the Kunlun School.

At the same time, the orthodoxy handed down by the immortals in their respective caves also blossomed and prospered. Master Bao passed down the Kongtong School, Qingxu Daozhenjun passed down the Ziyang School, Yuding Daoist passed down the Jinxia School, Daoxing Tianzun passed down the Yuwu School, and Huanglong Zhenren passed down the Huanglong School. Respecting Kunlun, they are connected with each other, and they are each other's horns. Therefore, teaching and teaching flourished in the world, leading monks all over the world.

In the past hundreds of years, the world has changed, and the views of the human race and the monster race have also changed.At the end of the Yin Dynasty, there was a nine-tailed demon fox who was ordered by the sage Nuwa Empress to confuse Shang Zhou and corrupt Shang Zhou.Later, when Qizhou captured Chaoge and Daji was executed, a large number of foxes watched in the dark, only to find that her cultivation was much higher than when she was not in the palace a few years ago, and her growth rate was extremely fast.Since then, the fox family has discovered a shortcut to practice - to confuse the king of the world through natural charm, so as to obtain the king's dragon energy and national resources to support his practice...

Wu Wang Ji made Ding Haojing and sealed the eight hundred princes, and the Western Zhou Dynasty was established.A large number of fox tribes disregarded Nuwa's wishes and used various means to enter the human court, or to attach themselves to the emperor, or to seduce the princes, and finally caused the collapse of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the chaos of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.For hundreds of years, the fox family has also changed from auspicious beasts in the Xia Dynasty to evil spirits that everyone shouts and beats.Even the image of other monster races in human hearts has plummeted.

Yuxu's sect doesn't like aliens with inferior roots. The chaotic times of the monster race for hundreds of years have led to the decline of the Zhou family that was supported by Chanjiao in the past, and the constant killings in the world have angered the sects of Chanmen.Finally, at the end of the Warring States period, the Kunlun School, Guangcheng School, Huashan School, Qingwei School and other schools of elucidation and teaching joined forces with thousands of casual practitioners in the world, a total of more than ten thousand people, and besieged Qingqiu Mountain, the holy place of the monster clan.

Qingqiu Mountain used to be the ashram of Tu Shan, the great sage of the fox clan, and also the root of the human fox clan's multiplication.Because of the fox's cunning and shrewdness, and his fast practice, many masters have been born in the past few hundred years, so he is regarded as the leader by the monster clan.The mortal monks attack Qingqiu Mountain together, clearly saying that they want to crusade against the Fox Clan, but in fact they also intend to suppress the Monster Clan.

It is also caused by the karma accumulated in the troubled times for hundreds of years. This war has intensified and involved more and more, and it is almost out of control.In the end, the Qingqiu Mountain dojo was completely destroyed, and almost all the monks of the human demon clan were wiped out. Mrs. Huayang, the leader of the fox clan, was forced to swear to the Dao of Heaven, promising that the fox clan would never enter the human court again.The legend of the poor scholars of later generations and the fox fairy repaying their favor began from then on.

After this battle, the monks of the human race in the world also suffered heavy casualties. The two lines of Daoist Yuding and Daoxing Tianzun were cut off, and the rest of the sects were almost withered, and the vitality of casual cultivators was seriously injured.Since the beginning of the prehistoric era, the number of mortal monks has fallen to the bottom.

Humans and demons are both declining, and the remnants of the witch clan who have been dormant for thousands of years are unwilling to be lonely.

The world is full of mortals, and the world is full of troubles, but it can't disturb the bliss and purity of the Western Paradise.

In the three-star cave of the slanting moon, there was a sound of drinking, and a blue light rose from the top of Zhunti's head, and fell in front of him, turning into a thin Taoist, with a sallow complexion and two flowers on his hair, he bowed his hands to Zhunti with a smile and saluted: "Poor!" Dao Bodhi has seen the deity."

"Being entrusted by others, I have to be loyal to others." Zhunti said slowly, "Now that I have the Chaos Clock, I will find out the truth of the past. Saints are not allowed to go down to the mortal world. Please, fellow Taoists, fulfill my wish for me." .”

"Since I am the incarnation of the wish, it should be so." Taoist Bodhi nodded, and stepped on the cloud light to go to the east.

"Alas, there is no peace." Zhunti watched Taoist Bodhi leave, and there was a faint light of blood rushing to the sky in the direction of the east earth. It’s so powerful.”

He thought of the human war in the later generations, and remained silent.

The author has something to say: PS: According to the bamboo slips unearthed in Mawangdui, Changsha, the "Tao Te Ching" is actually the "Tao Te Ching", but here we follow everyone's common sense.
