Looking south to Buzhou, the Tang Dynasty and Shu County.
The six Meishan brothers followed Erlangshen and looked at Erlangshen's majestic back quietly.
The roaring dog stood on the left side of Erlang Shen, raising his head from time to time to look at his master.
"Recently, the calls for the extermination of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty have become louder and louder." Kang Taiwei, the leader of the six Meishan brothers, said: "Second Master, this matter will not affect us, right?"
Taiwei Yao on the side said: "What does destroying the Buddha have to do with us?"
Taiwei Kang said: "Behind the Tang Dynasty's destruction of Buddhism, there was a Taoist sect who was behind it."
Taiwei Yao narrowed his eyes and said, "Does the Taoist sect want to imitate the Heavenly Court and drive the Buddhist sect out of Nanzhan Buzhou?"
Kang Taiwei shook his head and said: "Although it is not that bad, at least the Buddhists in the Tang Dynasty will definitely not have an easy time."
"Then what does this have to do with us?" Li Taiwei asked: "We are from the Heavenly Sect, not Buddhism or Taoism."
Kang Taiwei said: "So, why did the Tantan Merit Buddha come to Erlang Temple yesterday?"
Taiwei Yao's expression condensed and he said to Taiwei Kang: "You mean... Buddhism wants to divert trouble to the east? Or is it trying to drag my Erlang Temple into trouble?"
Kang Taiwei said: "I suspect that Buddhism has this idea. The great envoy has just pacified the Zhenyang Taoist Palace in Dongsheng China, and directly brought the entire Dongsheng China under the rule of Heaven. No matter whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, it can't be overturned in Dongsheng China." The waves are coming.”
"So, Buddhism and Taoism will compete for luck in Nanzhanbuzhou?" Li Taiwei said.
Kang Taiwei nodded and said: "Yes, Nanzhan Buzhou has always had complicated beliefs. There are even many small sects in Heaven, Buddhism, Taoism, and Nanzhan Buzhou is the most prosperous state of the human race. No single sect can monopolize it. . However, if the Taoist sect can drive the Buddhist sect out of the Tang Dynasty, it will be able to gain at least a thousand years of planning and preaching time."
A thousand years is a short time for gods, but for the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, it is simply a blink of an eye.
However, the period of one thousand years is very critical. If the Taoist sect can collect the human faith in the land of Datang during this thousand years, it will be extremely beneficial to boost the Taoist sect's luck and weaken the Buddhist sect's luck.
"Also." Kang Taiwei added: "Buddhism exclusively occupies a large part of the Xiniu Hezhou continent, while Taoism is scattered across the four major continents, and there is no fixed place for dependents to believe in. If Taoism can be stable in Nanzhan continent By suppressing the Buddhist sect, we can slowly lay out and spread the word to turn Nanzhan Buzhou into the Taoist sect's private territory."
Taiwei Yao murmured: "Is this the reason why the Taoist Taiyi Golden Immortal and above did not come forward during the demonic chaos in Dongsheng Shenzhou?"
"They are planning to look south to the continent, so they gave up the east victory of China. On the one hand, it is also to show their goodwill to the heaven." Kang Taiwei said.
Li Taiwei said: "No wonder in the past few months, Taoist Taiyi Jinxian great virtues have been appearing in the world in the Tang Dynasty to preach and teach."
As soon as Li Taiwei finished speaking, Erlang Shen, who had been silent until now, asked: "Who are the Taoist Taiyi Golden Immortals who have recently manifested themselves in the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Taiwei immediately said: "Back to the second master, there are five people who are known to me alone, namely Tongxuan Zhenren Xin Jiran, Chongxu Zhenren Liezi Yukou, Dongling Zhenren Kang Sangzi, Zixu Yuanjun Wei Huacun, Xi Mr. Yi, Patriarch Chen Tuan.”
Just as Lieutenant Li finished speaking, three of the six Meishan brothers present took a deep breath in unison.
Lieutenant Kang was even more surprised and said: "These people are all pillars of the Taoist community."
None of the five Taoist Taiyi Xuanxian mentioned above became immortals without establishing Taoism and preaching in the human world, especially Wei Huacun, the Lord of Zixu. Although she was a woman, she had already become the Taoist priest of the Celestial Master when she was practicing in the human world. . Later, he was revered as the first generation grandmaster of the Shangqing sect of Taoism because of his profound Taoist teachings and profound cultivation.
Unlike the Dongsheng Shenzhou Dao Sect where not a single Taiyi Golden Immortal showed up, this time they spent a lot of money on the Nanzhan Buzhou Dao Sect.
Speaking of this, Captain Zhang suddenly said: "So, that rumor is true?"
"What rumors?" Kang Taiwei asked.
Just listen to Zhang Taiwei say: "A few days ago, I heard from a monk from the east that Doumu Yuanjun appeared in Zhongnan Mountain half a month ago and taught the world the "Jade Purity Supreme Spiritual Treasure Natural Beidou". "The Sutra of Life". I originally thought this was what the monk heard from hearsay, but now it seems that it is very likely to be true."
"What?! Doumu Yuanjun?" As soon as Taiwei Zhang finished speaking, everyone present looked over in disbelief.
Even Erlang Shen looked at Captain Zhang in surprise, with a heavy look of suspicion in his eyes.
Doumu Yuanjun, whose full name is "Zhongtian Brahma Qi Doumu Yuanjun", is one of the Daluo Golden Immortals of Taoism. The 'Zhongtian' in her name has the same meaning as the 'Zhongtian' in 'Zhongtian Arctic Ziwei Emperor'.
In addition to the title of "Zhongtian Brahma Qi Dou Mu Yuanjun", she also has the title of "Xiantian Daomu", and is the mother of the stars of the Big Dipper. Even the Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole of Zhongtian and the Emperor Gouchen Shanggong met Doumu Yuanjun also wants to be called 'Mother'.
This is not to say that Doumu Yuanjun gave birth to them, but that Doumu Yuanjun is innately sacred. From the moment she was born, it represents the fate of the stars in the Big Dipper settled under the law of heaven.
If what had appeared at that time was not 'Doumu Yuanjun', but some other 'Lingmu Yuanjun', then there would not be 'Beidou' now, but 'Beiling'.
To explain it in earth terms, Doumu Yuanjun is the 'mother concept' of the Big Dipper stars, while the Big Dipper stars are the 'child concepts'.
Without the concept of mother, the concept of child naturally does not exist, so in terms of seniority, Doumu Yuanjun is the mother of the Beidou sequence. The Ziwei Emperor in Zhongtian North Pole and the Gouchen Shanggong Emperor are two of the four emperors who control the stars in the sky, and they are also gods belonging to the Beidou sequence.
Therefore, as long as Doumu Yuanjun shows his sage in the Tang Dynasty, if Heaven wants to intervene in this matter, Emperor Ziwei of Zhongtianjibei and Emperor Gouchen Shanggong will not be able to avoid it.
"It's really troublesome." Kang Taiwei said: "Doumu Yuanjun, that is the figure whom the East Prince and the Queen Mother of the West both call 'senior' when they meet. Why are you involved in the fight for the destiny of this sect?"
Erlang Shen raised his hand to suppress Taiwei Kang's words, and then said to Taiwei Li: "Is there any news from the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi?"
Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Li said: "The Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi has been practicing meditation in Wuzhuang Temple, or playing chess and discussing Taoism with the gods. This hobby has not changed for hundreds of millions of years."
"Then has Master Nan Hua appeared in Nanzhan Buzhou?" Erlang Shen asked again.
Lieutenant Li shook his head and said, "No, I've never seen him before."
Nanhua Zhenren is Zhuang Zhou, also known as Zhuangzi. Kunpeng, the demon master of Luzhou in Beiju, has always been at odds with him because it is said that Zhuangzi raised many acquired Kunpeng.
Although Demon Master Kunpeng is a congenital Kunpeng, he is still called Kunpeng after all. You will not be happy if you know that your people are being raised like poultry.
When he heard that Zhuangzi did not appear in Nanzhan Buzhou, Erlang Shen knew something.
Doumu Yuanjun's appearance as a saint is probably just a cover-up. It is impossible for such a Taoist leader to easily come out to participate in the struggle for luck. It is probably to shock and confuse Buddhism.
In this way, it is completely understandable that Zhantan Merit Buddha came to see me yesterday.
The Taoist sect has dispatched Lord Doumu Yuan, and the Buddhist sect will definitely send a Buddha to calm things down.
At this moment, one of the six Meishan brothers, General Guo Shen, who was in charge of patrolling the mountain and guarding the temple today, came up and paid homage: "Second Master, Taixuan Du Province Chengfu Lang and the Judicial God of the Heavenly Court, Hongqing Master Fang Jian is outside." Goodbye."
Upon hearing this, Taiwei Kang and others immediately turned around. After looking at each other, they all guessed: "Master Hongqing came to Nanzhan Buzhou at this time. Could it be that he was following the order of the chief envoy?"
"It's possible that when Nanzhan Buzhou Road and Buddha compete for luck, it's impossible for the great envoy not to take action."
"Then why did the great envoy send Master Hongqing here?"
"this..."
Everyone kept guessing, but Erlang Shen said calmly: "If the chief envoy has an edict, he will naturally know it by then. What are you guessing?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and then hurriedly bowed: "Yes, I know my mistake."
Erlang Shen waved his hand, and then said to General Guo Shen: "Please first invite Master Hongqing to come into the main hall to serve tea. I will be there soon."
General Guo Shen immediately accepted the order and said: "Yes."
