Yang Jian, a great eunuch who would become a Taifu in the future, was disemboweled and died by Li Kui here.
At the same time, Lin Lingsu, a traveler from Kinmen, observed the sky at night and discovered that the fortune of the Song Dynasty had reversed. The fortune that should have been the sign of the country's demise suddenly turned into the sign of the rising sun. This was beyond the time of the founding of the country. He was extremely surprised by his unique luck. You must know that the luck of the Song Dynasty has been almost played by this Kinmen feather guest, and the Northern Song Dynasty will be in danger of subjugation within these three to five years.
But now his luck has changed drastically, which makes him unable to accept it.
You must know that he did a major thing to steal the country's destiny for the sake of the prosperity of their Taoism. If it were to destroy the country directly, the national destiny would naturally not need to be changed. But now the national destiny has changed from the setting sun to the rising sun. It means that the national fortune they stole must be returned, otherwise their goal will be over.
Only those in these Taoist sects know how big of a deal it is, and no one else knows at all.
Their Taoist sect had usurped the orthodoxy of the Heavenly Court, deprived God Haotian of his throne, and made the Jade Emperor the supreme position of heaven and earth. Moreover, the Jade Emperor's authority was quite great. He controlled thirty-six days and governed seventy-two people. Earth is in charge of all things among gods, immortals, Buddhas, saints, humans, and the underworld. It has boundless power. It is called the Holy Lord of the firmament and the sect king of all heavens. It has a majestic appearance and a supreme Dharma body. It rules all heavens and all saints.
But before the Song Dynasty, there was no Jade Emperor. Everyone worshiped God Haotian, which is what we usually call God. He is also called the Emperor of Heaven and God. The ancients believed that Heaven is the master of all things in the universe and the source of growth and development of all things. , so it is believed that the Emperor of Heaven is the highest god in nature.
However, starting from the Song Dynasty, emperors of all dynasties believed in Taoism. Starting from Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, they continued to add titles and became more complicated. The original Haotian God gradually became the Haotian Golden Tower, the Supreme, Natural, Wonderful, Milo, and the True Jade Emperor God, referred to as The Jade Emperor is not only welcomed by the Five Elders of the Five Directions, but also assisted by the Four Golden Palaces, the Four Saints of the North Pole, and the Emperor Shenxiao Jiuchen who protects him.
From then on, the heavenly court was like the human court, with ministers, the Jade Emperor, and heavenly soldiers and generals.
Originally, there was no difference in rank and status among the gods. The gods were all incarnations of "Tao" and were models of attaining Tao. Therefore, it is said that there are differences in class between gods and gods. In fact, it is just a difference in understanding of Tao. They all have the purpose of helping the world and saving people.
However, from this time on, the Emperor of Heaven had a name. His name was Bai Ren. Which one was named Zhang?
Zhang Tianshi’s Zhang!
This is a big deal. You should know that during the Three Kingdoms period, when Zhang Wen and Qin Mi were debating heaven, although they asked a lot of questions, when they finally asked whether Tian had a surname, Qin Mi said that his surname was Liu. , Zhang Wen asked him how he knew it. Emperor Qin Mi's surname was Liu, so he knew it.
Therefore, according to the tradition of Zhu Xia, God Haotian followed the surname of Emperor in each dynasty. Only in the Song Dynasty, he became the surname Zhang. However, this surname was not the surname of Emperor, but the surname of Tianshi.
Don't say you don't believe it. For a long period of time, Zhang Tianshi in the past has been asking Emperor Song to add titles to God Haotian. But with the addition of God Haotian of the Tianzi family, he became the Jade Emperor of the old Zhang family. .
And this heaven and earth have become the private property of the old Zhang family, and Zhu Xia's creation of artificial gods also reached its climax during this period.
Don't say that it was Shenxiao Sect and not Longhushan who really settled these things.
You must know that the Shenxiao sect came out of Longhu Mountain. Whether it is Wang Wenqing or Lin Lingsu, these two people are the Shenxiao sect that evolved from Tianshi Tao. What is Shenxiao, that is, since ancient times, there has been " The theory of "Nine Heavens" and "Nine Levels" identifies the highest level among them as "Shen Xiao". He also described it as follows: "Go up to the sky, and go to the earth for millions. In the realm of the sky, the blue sky is the disciple. I don't know that the blue sky is where the earth lives. Moreover, this true earth is intangible. There is neither existence nor non-existence. The gate of all transformations. The accumulated clouds form the sky, held by the strong Qi. The shoes are like cotton, and can be supported by ten thousand junctures. The jade platform has thousands of calamities, and the grand tower has eight coverings. The Brahma Qi rides on it, although it is not high. There is true earth inside, and divine power. Guwei. Taiyi Yuanjing cannot be known in the world." It can be seen that Shenxiao refers to the highest fairyland where Taoist immortals live. Shenxiao Taoist priests named their sect after this, because of its lofty and noble meaning.
The leader of this sect is neither Wang Wenqing nor Lin Lingsu, but the leader, Emperor Daojun, who is Zhao Ji.
If according to the myth, when Zhao Ji named himself the Taoist Lord and Emperor, he had pulled himself down from the position of the human body of God Haotian in the ninth heaven to the first heaven. It can be said that when Zhao Ji thought he was going to become an immortal, he threw away his orthodox position, not the orthodox position in the world but the heavenly position.
There are no two emperors in the sky and no two emperors in the day and the people, but from this time on, there are two emperors, one day and one earth.
Which of these two emperors listens to which one, naturally the one below must listen to the one above. Whoever is above, Zhang Bairen is above.
In the historical world, this is just the evolution history of myths, but in this world where there seems to be gods, this is different. To become a god, you have to use your own national destiny.
But a strong national destiny means a strong national power. Once a national destiny declines, the national power will naturally decline.
However, Longhu Mountain has not only been planning for this Heavenly Court for a day or two. It has been planned since before Lieutenant Hong entered the Demon Sealing Hall and released a hundred single eight demon stars. Once the Eight Generals, or the Demon Star, come down to earth, they will naturally stir up the world, and every move they make shakes the foundation of the Song Dynasty. Why?
The purpose is to make the national power of the Song Dynasty even more unbearable and bring the national destiny to decline. When the national destiny of the Song Dynasty dies, a new dynasty will emerge. At that time, the position of the heaven will be completely determined. No matter what the name of the new dynasty is, the lord of heaven and earth is named Zhang.
All of this was well planned, and even in order to prevent others from discovering the decline of the Song Dynasty, they still used the technique of borrowing luck. This technique of borrowing luck was Lin Lingsu's use of Taoism to destroy Buddha.
He wrote a letter to confuse Zhao Ji, and Buddhism harmed the Tao. Although it cannot be destroyed now, he combined and corrected it. He changed the Buddhist temple into a palace, Sakyamuni into a deity, Bodhisattva into a great scholar, Arhat into a venerable person, and the monk into a virtuous person. All of them remained. Wear a crown and hold a brief slip.
Zhao Ji actually agreed to this matter, and all the edicts were issued. For a time, there were almost no monks in the world.
This is why Lin Lingsu borrowed the luck of Buddhism to make up for the luck of the Northern Song Dynasty. When the Northern Song Dynasty perished, it was not because of the lack of national strength, but because of collective brain failure. This is the consequence of borrowing luck.
