Ragnarok is born

Of course, after countless dynasties and the verification of the emperor, Emperor Wu of Liang, who believed in Buddhism, believed in Buddhism until he abandoned the government, encountered the "Hou Jing Rebellion", was finally cut off from food, died of hunger and thirst, and died more than 20 days later.
Most of the believing emperors of the former Tang Dynasty died under the pills refined by Taoist priests, even the wise and powerful Taizong Li Shimin and Wuzong Li Yan were no exception.
Not to mention that more than 40 years ago, Song Huizong, who called himself the "Emperor of Taoism", ended even more tragically.
Both Buddhism and Taoism have proved their own flaws, and they can only be out-of-this-world religions, and can never be compared with Confucianism.
"Believe in Buddhism in troubled times, and you need Buddhism to rule the world."
It has become a consensus among the rulers of any dynasty.
Some believers of Zen, thinking that they have learned some Confucian styles, turned into fanatics, and often appeared in the eyes of the world with outrageous behavior.
Fahai, who presides over Jinshan Temple, who considers himself an orthodox monk, feels that the "Bonky Monk" Daoji, who is about to meet him, is such a person.
It's a pity that the background of the other party is too amazing, even if Fa Hai can't understand the other party's behavior, he still feels helpless.
Daoji pressed down his cloud head, held a broken fan, and swaggered towards Fahai under the strange eyes of the monks in Jinshan Temple.
As a well-behaved monk, Fahai felt that Daoji's tattered monk's robes and muddy appearance were a detriment to the majesty of Buddhism.
However, Daoji, who is known as the "Brave Monk", knew that Fa Hai didn't have a good impression of him, so he still smiled unscrupulously, "The poor monk has seen the host."
Fahai sighed secretly, and once again heaved the Zen stick in his hand, pointed in the direction of Qiantang, and asked Daoji in a deep voice, "My lord, please take a look..."
Fa Hai didn't say much. In short, he asked Daoji to explain why there was such an astonishing evil spirit in the area where the other party lived.
Daoji waved the broken fan in his hand, turned his head to look at Qiantang casually, and immediately saw that astonishing monster aura rising into the sky like billowing wolf smoke.
With a "click", the broken fan in Daoji's hand fell to the ground, with an incredulous look on his face.
Seeing Daoji's appearance, Fahai's heart trembled secretly.
Logically speaking, Daoji, who is the reincarnation of "Dragon Subduing Arhat", would not be able to see a wave of evil spirit and suddenly change color.
Although in Fahai's view, the scale of the demonic aura in Qiantang County is indeed a bit larger, it is comparable to a thousand-year-old demon.
However, "Dragon Subduing Arhat" is one of the great arhats under the command of the World Honored One, and it is said that it is the incarnation of the World Honored One's personal disciple, Venerable Kassapa.
At that time, a Naga dragon king flooded the country of Najiu, forcibly seized the country's Buddhist scriptures and hid them in his dragon palace.
According to the will of the World Honored One, Venerable Kasyapa differentiated into an incarnation, subdued the offender Naga Dragon King, and successfully retrieved the Buddhist scriptures.
Therefore, the World Honored One praised him for his "power to subdue the dragon", and specially allowed that this incarnation of Venerable Kasyapa would become one of the eighteen arhats under him without returning.
Therefore, the world calls it "The Arhat Subduing the Dragon".
More than 40 years ago, Song Huizong, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, believed in Taoism and called himself the "Emperor of Taoism".
Lin Lingsu is the great master of Taoism, and under his overall planning, he almost uprooted all the influence of Buddhism in China.
In the first year of Xuanhe (1119), Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty followed Lin Lingsu's proposal and ordered to change the Buddha's name to Dajue Jinxian. view.
Although in the end because of offending Prince Zhao Huan, Lin Lingsu was expelled from Bianliang City in Tokyo and had to return to his hometown in Yongjia.
However, when combined with the vigorous promotion of a complete imperial court, its strength is simply terrifying.
Three to forty years have passed, and the ordinary people of the lower class have gotten used to calling Guanyin Bodhisattva "Guanyin Bodhisattva".
Because of the vigorous attack of the "Emperor Taoist" Song Huizong and Lin Lingsu, Buddhism once showed signs of decline.
In order to restore the declining momentum, Lingshan Daleiyin Temple first let the golden-winged roc come into the world to assist Song Gaozong Zhao Gou to re-establish the court.
Who would have thought that Zhao Gou and Prime Minister Qin Hui would negotiate a peace with each other, and the golden-winged roc died unjustly and returned to Lingshan sadly.
Then let the "subduing dragon Arhat" come to the world, incarnated as a monk Daoji, intending to reintegrate the forces of various Buddhist schools and fight against the rapidly expanding Taoism.
Although Fahai is in Jinshan Temple in the south, he also heard from believers from the north that the Quanzhen Sect is thriving in the north, overwhelming all other sects.
The leader of Quanzhen Sect, Chongyangzi Wang Zhe, advocated the "integration of the three religions" and made friends with experts from the three sects. Even Buddhism could not resist Quanzhen Sect on the bright side.
When Fahai heard the news from the believers, he couldn't help feeling worried.
After the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there were Lu Dongbin and Chen Tuan who were famous in Taoism, and then there were Lin Lingsu and Wang Chongyang, who founded the sect.
On the other hand, Buddhism suffered a heavy blow because of Tang Wuzong's "Huichang Law Difficulty" to destroy Buddhism, and it has been lukewarm for hundreds of years.
Even if several venerables descended from Lingshan Daleiyin Temple one after another, they could not restore the decline and could only barely maintain the situation.
Fa Hai stared at Daoji with wide eyes, and kept blinking to see Daoji, who was smoldering in the direction of Qiantang, wondering whether Buddhism really had hope to rise again under the leadership of the other party?
Daoji made quick gestures with his ten fingers, constantly calculating the true origin of that great monster lurking in Qiantang County.
However, the once invincible heavenly secret deduction arithmetic, as if encountering a natural enemy, can only see a piece of confusion.
Daoji wanted to increase his magic power and increase the strength of his calculations, but suddenly he felt a palpitation in his heart, as if a catastrophe was about to happen somewhere.
The monk who pretended to be insane and crazy on weekdays, unaware that he was sweating profusely, with a rare serious expression on his face, smiled wryly at Fa Hai, and said in a shy voice, "Master, for some reason, Tianji suddenly became confused..."
Fa Hai didn't care about what Dao Ji said.
Most of his strength belongs to the magical powers of attacking and attacking, and he does not have the ability to calculate the secrets like Daoji.
And calculating the secret itself is something against the sky.
In the human world, there are also fortune-tellers who rely on mana to ward off disasters and reduce disasters for others, but most of them end up not so perfect.
These people rely on their skills to see a corner of the secret, and use it in exchange for property, or fame and fortune.
However, with one drink and one peck, it was already doomed.
However, the result of changing their fortunes for others is the process of constantly losing the favor of heaven and earth and reducing their own blessings.
So in the end it all ended badly.
However, Daoji came to the world as the Dragon Subduing Arhat of Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan, and he came to the world according to his master's will to restore the decline of Buddhism.
He bears the huge luck of the entire Buddhism, to a certain extent, it is enough to be called the son of the luck of Buddhism today.
It is enough to counter the backlash brought by calculating the secret.
Although Fa Hai is an eminent monk in the human world, and he has also attained the Arhat status, as long as his merits and virtues are completed, he can successfully ascend to the Great Leiyin Temple in Lingshan.
But still can't compare with "Dragon Arhat".
Not to mention the Great Arhat Status of Subduing Dragon Arhat itself, which is the highest level of the Four Fruits of Arhat, which is far beyond that of a novice like Fa Hai who has just completed the first level of Arhat Status.
What's more, the original deity of "Dragon Subduing Arhat", Venerable Kasyapa, is also a direct disciple of the World Honored One, who was once assigned half of the seat by the Buddha.
The origin of the entire Middle-earth Zen sect, the allusion of "Nianhua Yixiao" is all about this great venerable.
Bodhidharma traveled to the east, calling himself the No. 20 eight-generation successor of Tianzhu Zen Buddhism to the Chinese people, and respecting Venerable Kasyapa as the first generation patriarch of Zen Buddhism.
Then there was the rise of Zen Buddhism in Middle Earth.
In terms of identity, Fahai no longer knows how many generations of disciples and grandchildren he is under the Venerable Kasyapa.
It is precisely because of this relationship of origin that Fa Hai always has an inexplicable guilty conscience when facing Dao Ji.
Volume 4 The Legend of the White Snake Chapter [-]: What is a monk?
Fahai looked at Daoji with a puzzled look on his face.
He has always known the ability of the other party, and it can be said that in today's world, no matter whether it is supernatural powers or mana, he can be called an extremely strong man.
After all, Daoji was born as the "Dragon Subduing Arhat" of Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan, and at the same time, he still needs to bear the burden of how to save the fate of the declining luck of Buddhism.
If one's own ability is insufficient, wouldn't it be like the previous few times, watching Taoism show off its might?
But now it seems that it is very likely that it is not just the lack of power of the Buddhist venerables, but also other factors interfering.
Maybe it was deliberately blocked by Taoists, or maybe it was because the time didn't come, all in all, Daoji was at a loss, even Fa Hai was secretly surprised.
This "Patriarch" doesn't look very clever?
However, Fahai is a layman in calculating the secret of heaven, and he doesn't know the mystery. On the contrary, Daoji is really shocked.
Since the awakening of past life memories and supernatural powers, Daoji has repeatedly been able to seize the opportunity and defeat the enemy with the least effort when fighting with the enemy.
Knowing the enemy and knowing oneself without imperil in a hundred battles is the foundation of the art of war. Daoji's actions are in line with the true meaning of the art of war, so he can easily win every time.
On the contrary, his enemies, before the war started, Daoji had already learned all the secrets. It can be said that they were defeated before the battle, and they were doomed to a tragic end.
All things in the sky are born and restrained by each other, and so are supernatural powers and spells.
No matter how powerful a strong man is, he also has his weaknesses.
Even if he was as strong as the World Honored One, the scorpion spirit, who was eavesdropping on the Buddhist scriptures back then, turned his horse and stabbed his left thumb with a poisonous stake. Even the World Honored One felt the pain uncontrollably.
Even Sun Wukong, the great sage of Monkey King who has cultivated the indestructible body of King Kong, chops with knives and axes, and is invulnerable to damage by thunder and fire, has his scalp numb from being pricked by it. He dare not love to fight, and defeats with Zhu Bajie Come on.
However, when Sun Wukong invites Uri Xingjun, he only needs to show his original shape on the hillside and yell at the scorpion spirit.
The scorpion essence involuntarily reappeared in its true form, and Uri Xingjun continued to cry, and the scorpion essence became limp and died in front of the slope.
Whether it is Daoji's deity Subduing the Dragon Arhat, or the deity's deity Kasyapa, they are all disciples who serve the World Honored One, so of course they know this allusion.
Subduing Dragon Arhat's intention to unify Buddhism in the lower realm and save the decline of Buddhism in the world this time is not relying on his meticulous cultivation.
You must know that even though Subduing Dragon Arhat is the head of the Great Arhats in Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan, in terms of his cultivation level, he is not very outstanding in Daleiyin Temple.
Even though he is a great arhat, he is already at the highest level of arhatship, but there are countless Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in the Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan.
Only in the capacity of Bodhisattva and Buddha, unless it is really a matter of life and death in Buddhism, and it is about to be overthrown, can it be possible to descend to the mortal world.
Although Buddhism in the human world is in decline, and it is at a disadvantage in the competition with Taoism, the general trend has not declined.
In the previous dynasty, Li Tangzun, the grand old gentleman Li Er, was the ancestor, which greatly increased the luck of Taoism. The World Honored One sent his second disciple, Jin Chanzi, down to earth, and planned a drama of "Learning Buddhist scriptures from the West".
He secretly accepted the unrivaled demon king who once made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, and Sun Wukong, the great sage equal to heaven, was his apprentice, intercepting the luck of the demon clan and making up for Buddhism.
Only in this way can the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism go hand in hand.
However, Tang Wuzong brazenly launched the "Huichang Law Difficulty" to destroy Buddhism, coupled with the support of Taoism, Buddhism suffered a heavy blow for a while.
Therefore, after that, great masters of Taoism such as Lu Dongbin, Chen Tuan, and Lin Lingsu appeared one after another. On the other hand, although Buddhism can be said to be prevalent in troubled times, there are no powerful masters who can compete with Lu Dongbin, Chen Tuan, and Lin Lingsu.
Lin Lingsu and the "Emperor of Taoism" Song Huizong joined forces to make Buddhism worse. The Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan had to send the Dragon Subduing Arhat to the earth.
Before descending the dragon, Arhat knew that he had a great responsibility, and was afraid of making mistakes like other predecessors, so he asked the World Honored One for the magic power to deduce the secret, and only need to "pinch fingers" to predict the future and the future.
When he fought several Taoist immortals and monsters from the demon world a few times ago, Daoji relied on this supernatural power to make a small trial and win one after another.
However, Daoji never imagined that there would be a big monster in the Demon King Realm today, who would take the initiative to appear not far from Lin'an City where he lived.
However, his supernatural ability to deduce the secrets of heaven was not as tried and tested as before, and it unexpectedly failed to work.
Although Daoji didn't believe in evil and wanted to increase the strength of his calculations, he felt a crisis coming and had to stop.
Daoji could feel Fa Hai's doubts beside him, but with his detached mentality, he couldn't explain it clearly to the other party.
Why would there be a monster with astonishing strength within the scope of his jurisdiction?
For Daoji, although Fahai is the abbot of Jinshan Temple, and already has the strength comparable to that of Arhat, the real one is just a junior.
Being doubted by such a junior, no matter how good-tempered Daoji was, he felt depressed secretly.
He turned his eyes around Fa Hai's body, and with a thought, he unconsciously circulated his mana to calculate the cause and effect on the other party.
A familiar feeling emerged in his heart, and Daoji was secretly pleased that his magical powers of deriving the secrets of heaven had not failed.
Just as he was proud, he saw a thick causal line connected by Fa Hai jumping suddenly, and Dao Ji's peeping was cut off in an inexplicable fluctuation.
Daoji was taken aback, and caught off guard, the backlash had already come to him, and he opened his mouth to spurt out a mouthful of dark red blood.
Seeing Daoji's eyes fluttering, Fa Hai inexplicably sprayed blood, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with His Holiness?"
Daoji collected his mind, smiled embarrassingly, and asked without answering, "The poor monk remembers that the host once said that monsters have different paths..."
"I don't know if you have any thoughts of changing now?"
Fa Hai raised his eyebrows high, and thumped his Zen stick on the ground heavily in his hand, and replied loudly, "The monster race is tyrannical by nature, and its nature cannot be changed."
"Although we are monks, we still need to subdue demons and save the common people in the world before we can complete our practice."
Fa Hai's abilities all belong to the supernatural powers of attacking, and they need to be refined in constant struggle.
In today's world, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism seem to be in conflict, but overall they are relatively restrained, and there is no tendency to break out into a war.
At this time, Dao Ji hadn't awakened his past life memory and supernatural powers for too long, and the scale of the battle with Taoism and monsters was not very large.
If we use the game terminology of later generations to compare, "Jigong" Daoji is currently at a relatively low level, but he has just stepped out of the Novice Village stage.
Although many experts know that because of Lin Lingsu's incident, the two factions of Buddhism and Taoism will eventually win or lose one day.
But the wind started at the end of Qingping, except for Daoji, who knew his own responsibility, and some great powers in the heavens, no one knew what kind of turmoil Daoji would cause?
