The Way of the Prehistoric World

Chapter 19 Three religions destroy Xia

Since Dayu became the last emperor, the abdication system of the human race has been terminated. , with you all the way!

Originally, when Dayu was introduced to the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, there was a human race named Yi. Because he had a virtuous name, he thought that Dayu valued him and regarded him as the co-leader of the human race or the position of the Human Emperor.

After Yi took over the throne, he followed ancient rules in everything and showed no partiality to Western religions, which caused dissatisfaction among the two saints Jieyin and Zhunti. Finally, under the instigation of Western religions, the dissatisfied son of Yu, Qi, He led some loyal tribesmen and raised troops to kill Yi.

With the help of Western religions, he was able to enter the center of the master clan. After Qi succeeded to the throne, he vigorously spread Western teachings. At this time, the Western teachings were not much different from the teachings of the three Taoist religions, so it was easy for him to do so. Terran accepts.

Seeing that the Two Saints of the West were so greedy for the human race, I and Yuan Shi could not help but feel dissatisfied. They immediately sent envoys to contact the Hu clan of the human race and asked them to raise an army to resist. However, it was not long before the departure of Emperor Dayu at this time, and most of the human army chose to be loyal to Qi, and Qi was capable, so Hu's rebellion was easily suppressed by Qi.

After this incident, Kai's reputation within the human race increased day by day. Due to the restrictions of the Tao Ancestor, the monks were not allowed to take action against the Human Emperor. In addition, with the combined efforts of the Tao and Chan religions, they were not rivals of the Western religions. Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi finally had to give up.

At that time, Tongtian already knew that his two brothers were secretly liaising with the Two Saints of the West, so he was a little angry in his heart, so he just sat back and watched Laozi and Yuanshi fail without helping.

After Yu Qi stabilized his position, the first dynasty of the human race was born and recognized by heaven. It could not be overthrown until the dynasty's fate declined. Therefore, the three sages of the East could only sit back and watch the Western religion dominate the human race. And can't do anything about it.

Later Laozi came up with a way to limit the expansion of Western religions, but he wanted to make the king of the human race. The cultivation level cannot exceed the Golden Immortal level, once this limit is exceeded. He has no choice but to abdicate and make way for the worthy, otherwise he will be tabooed by the Six Saints of Heaven and will not end well.

It should be noted that in the prehistoric times, only those whose cultivation level breaks through the Golden Immortal can be exempted from the longevity limit. Unless there is a catastrophe or disaster, there is almost no possibility of natural death due to this limitation of cultivation level. But it caused the term of office of each emperor to end at one hundred Yuanhui.

If he cannot break through to the Golden Immortal, even a monk at the peak of the late Heavenly Immortal period will not live longer than a hundred Yuan Hui. When he dies, he will either take the initiative to abdicate and retreat in order to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation, or break through to the Golden Immortal first, and then He had to abdicate immediately.

This proposal was first proposed by Laozi, but it was agreed by Yuanshi and Tongtian. Even if there are conflicts, Tongtian doesn't mind participating in this matter that is beneficial to him. When it was the turn to receive Yin and Zhunti, to the surprise of the three Eastern Saints, the two Saints agreed.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Restricting people's cultivation will also be beneficial to Western religions in the long run.

Previously, the two sages of the West took advantage of the internal strife among the three Xuanmen religions and took advantage of their unpreparedness to help Qi establish the Xia Dynasty. In this way, they could temporarily control the situation of the human race. But it is not a long-term solution. You must know that the three Taoist religions will not sit idly by. One day, the Xia Dynasty will be overthrown by the other party.

That is to say. The situation of the human race will eventually fall into the hands of others. From this point of view, after the Western religion falls, the restrictions on the cultivation of human kings can be used by the Western religion to limit the time limit of the dynasty.

Although Qi felt very unhappy, since this proposal had been decided by the Six Saints of Heaven, it was the general trend of Heaven and could not be changed by human power. Therefore, after dozens of Yuanhui, Qi had no choice but to retire from the position of Renjun and passed on to His son Taikang.

Then he went into seclusion in Mi Di, and naturally successfully broke through the Golden Immortal. From then on, he lived in seclusion behind the scenes of the Xia Dynasty, hoping to become the Supreme Emperor. However, his wish has not yet been realized, but he has been restricted by the Six Saints. He is in the same place with the three leaders of the human race, and has no choice but to live in the same place. Things must not come from Buzhou Mountain, so even if you want to interfere in the affairs of the human race, you can't do anything about it.

The Xia Dynasty started from Qi and went through fifteen emperors including Taikang, Zhongkang, Xiang, Shaokang, Zhu, Huai, Mang, Xie, Bujiang, Xie, Kongjia, Gao, Fa and Jie, with a length of more than 500 Yuanhui was finally passed down to Yufa's son Jie, but the fortune of the dynasty had greatly declined, and Xia Jie was immoral, so he was eventually replaced by the prince Shang Tang and established the Shang Dynasty.

When Yu Fa succeeded to the throne, the fortunes of the Xia Dynasty were somewhat unstable. The princes from all parties stopped coming to congratulate him. The Xia royal family did not repair its internal affairs, foreign troubles continued, and various conflicts became increasingly acute.

After Xia Jie succeeded to the throne, the moral government declined, the people were in dire straits, and crises were everywhere. However, not only did he not think about reform, he became even more arrogant and extravagant.

In the thirty-third Yuanhui period after Jie came to the throne, he sent troops to conquer the Shi family. The Shi family could not resist, so he paid tribute to a beautiful woman named Yuxi. From then on, Jie loved his sister very much and built many magnificent palaces, elephant corridors, Yaotai and jade palaces for her.

In the thirty-seventh Yuanhui after Jie ascended the throne, Tang, the leader of the Dongfang Shang tribe, introduced Yi Yin, a sage with both ability and political integrity, to Jie. Yi Yin persuaded Jie with the benevolent policies of Tang Yao and Yu Shun, hoping that Jie would understand the sufferings of the people and govern the world with care. However, Jie refused to listen, so Yi Yin had to leave.

In his later years, Jie became even more dissolute and extravagant. He actually ordered people to build a large pool, called the Night Palace, and brought a large group of men and women in the pool. He did not go to court for months.

Taishi Ling Zhonggu cried and remonstrated, but Jie was very impatient and scolded him for meddling in other people's affairs for no reason. Zhonggu knew that Xia Jie was hopeless, so he went to Shangtang, the Ming Dynasty's lord.

One of Xia Jie's ministers was named Guan Longpang. Hearing the angry words of the people, he admonished Jie Jin and said: "The emperor is humble and trustworthy, frugal and loves the talented, so that the world can be stable and the dynasty can be stable. But now Your Majesty is extravagant and murderous, so that the people hope that you will perish soon. Your Majesty has lost the support of the people. Only by correcting your mistakes as soon as possible can you restore the support of the people."

When Jie heard this, he cursed Guan Longpang angrily and even ordered him to be killed.

At this time, the Shang tribe located east of the human tribe, under the leadership of its leader Tang, became increasingly prosperous. The Shang clan is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. Its ancestor, Qi, assisted Dayu in flood control and granted the Shang land, hence the name Shang clan. Since then, the tribe has migrated eight times, and it was not until Tang Dynasty that the capital was established in Bo.

Hou Jie was afraid that Shang Tang would harm him, so he imprisoned him in Xiatai for some reason.

However, this matter failed to work in the end. On the one hand, Xia Jie was mediocre, and Shang Tang only used a small trick to let him release himself; on the other hand, at this time, Shang Tang had already received the secret support of the three Taoist religions, even if Xia Jie If you intend to kill him, your chances of success are slim.

When Tang Tang of Shang came out of Xia Tai and finally returned to the Shang tribe under the protection of the monks of Taoism, Channess and Jie, he, at the suggestion of his prime minister Yi Yin, united with the three Taoism religions to conquer Xia. Don't let people continue to suffer.

As early as when the Western teaching assistant Qi Lixia, Tongtian chose to sit on the sidelines, just because Laozi and Yuanshi were connected with the two sages of the West.

Later, seeing the situation in the Xia Dynasty becoming increasingly stable, the Western religion actually eliminated most of the power of the three Xuanmen religions from the human race, so that the Three Qing Dynasties only gained very little luck for the human race, and it was only after this that the whole world regretted it.

However, even if he regretted it, Tongtian was unwilling to bow his head first, so that the Xia Dynasty continued the Five Hundred Yuan Meeting for a long time. In the end, Laozi and Yuanshi couldn't hold on anymore, so they took the initiative to invite Tongtian to have a talk at Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain so that they could fight together in the future. summer.

Although the leader of the Xia Dynasty was unscrupulous and unscrupulous, he did not want to be destroyed easily by the two saints Yin Yin and Zhunti. He simply monopolized the Xia Dynasty and allowed the Western religion to share the fate of the human race. With the help of this, not only The practice of the Second Saint in the West is faster, and even the ordinary Western followers have benefited greatly, and their cultivation has increased a lot.

Because the three Qing Dynasties joined forces to cover up the secret of heaven, the Western sects only got the news when Shang and Tang conquered Jie, and then hurriedly arranged for their followers to help Xia to prevent Shang from replacing him.

However, firstly, time was not in favor of the Western Sect, and secondly, the overall strength was not as good as the other side. Therefore, when the two sides went to war, the Xia Dynasty army was often defeated and lost ground one after another.

Because of Emperor Dayu's incident, the apprentice pharmacist who was introduced to him was promoted to quasi-sage. However, under the great sect, there are already three quasi-sages in Xuanmen, plus the tens of thousands of golden immortals from the Jiejiao sect, even if the Western sect has exhausted its strength, Unable to withstand the opponent's offensive, they finally had no choice but to retreat to Xiniu Hezhou, no longer caring about the affairs of the human race.

After losing the help of Western monks, the Xia Dynasty's defeat was doomed. After that, all the major cities and tribes of the human race defected to Shang Tang and attacked Xia Jie. After dozens of Yuanhui passed by, Shang Tang completely destroyed the Xia Dynasty. The self-established dynasty was called Shang, and it was the second dynasty of the human race.

After the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, because it was established by the three Taoist religions, many monks from the three religions appeared in the court, assisting the king in governing the country, while controlling the power of the human race and seeking benefits for the religion.

Due to the difference in number of people, the benefits gained by the three Taoist religions were very different. Apart from the sage Laozi, there was only one disciple in Xuandu among the Taoists. Therefore, they were unable to enter the court at all, so they rarely benefited.

There are some disciples of Chanjiao, but because the Twelve Golden Immortals imitated the temperament of his master Yuanshi, they could not bear the slightest humiliation and were unwilling to bow down above the court, so their reputation was also not prominent.

On the contrary, the Jiejiao established by Tongtian was not only the main force during the Conquest of Xia, but also had many disciples and disciples afterwards, and they did not have the arrogance of the Twelve Golden Immortals. Therefore, many of them came in and out of the palace, thinking that they were the ministers of the emperor. , as time went by, the human race only heard the name of Jie Jiao, but did not know that there were three other religions: Taoism, Interpretation, and the West.

Regarding this matter, Laozi and Yuanshi secretly said that they had made a mistake. They had just eliminated the Western religion, but unexpectedly, most of the profits were obtained by the Jiejiao. Therefore, the two sages kept thinking about the method of weakening the Jiejiao.

Naturally, the three leaders of the Suiren clan, the Youchao clan and the Ziyi clan would not be unaware of the change of dynasties in the human race. However, this was determined by the Great Sage and could not be changed at will.

What's more important is that the Sage's sect has only spread its teachings, but it has never harmed the foundation of the human race. Therefore, even the three leaders cannot stop it. It must be noted that all the great religions established by the Sage are recognized by heaven. Since the human race has survived in In the prehistoric period, it was inevitable to be harassed by the great religion. As long as the other party did not go too far, it would not hurt to give up some benefits.

Although there are three emperors and five emperors in the human race, they still need to rely on the power of saints in order to fight against the way of heaven. Q
