The extermination of Buddhism in Nanzhan Buzhou was not only a contradiction between the Tang Dynasty and its surrounding countries, a secular contradiction, but also a result of the contradiction between Taoism and Buddhism that had accumulated for too long.
So when the Tang Dynasty issued an edict to exterminate Buddhism, no matter whether you leave Buddhism or not, Taoism will come to 'give you a ride'.
Why are there catastrophes between heaven and earth? The destruction of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty is a good answer.
In this world, or in the three worlds, there are countless contradictions and entanglements of cause and effect. Even Daluo Jinxian cannot avoid such contradictions and entanglements of cause and effect. Therefore, under the endless entanglement of contradictions and cause and effect, catastrophe will occur. .
The power of calamity fills the world, which is an opportunity for all kinds of evil spirits to hide and grow. It is also the most fundamental reason for the endless turmoil of heaven and earth.
As the Jade Emperor retreats to eliminate tribulations, the tribulation forces accumulated in the past between heaven and earth are rapidly fading, but as long as the heaven and earth are still moving, the generation of tribulation forces will never end.
The difference is that the explosion of calamity power requires accumulation over a long period of time, and the time period during which this cumulative outbreak happens to be the time point when the Jade Emperor retreats to eliminate calamity.
When Bai Yuchan broke through the barrier of Mount Wutai and just flew to Mount Wutai in the clouds, a golden Buddha light suddenly shined from the Buddhist temple in Mount Wutai. Seeing this, Bai Yuchan quickly launched his escape technique to avoid it.
He saw a flash of light all over Bai Yuchan's body, and he immediately dodged the Buddha's light.
But before Bai Yuchan could breathe a sigh of relief, a ruler suddenly appeared on top of Bai Yuchan's head, and struck the back of his head with the ruler.
With just a 'snap' sound, Bai Yuchan instantly fell from the clouds and crashed into the peaks and rocks of Mount Wutai with a 'bang' sound.
At this time, several more fairy lights flew from the sky. They were Zhang Sanfeng, Wang Chongyang, Tiangong General Zhang Jiao, and Digong General Zhang Bao.
When Wang Chongyang saw that the White Jade Toad was knocked down, he flew straight towards the direction where the White Jade Toad fell.
Zhang Bao, on the other hand, directly activated his Taoist magic and transformed into a rainbow of light and flew towards the top of Mount Wutai.
At the same time, I saw a great monk wearing a gilt cassock with an old face and holding a ruler in his hand. The Taoist monk was the same as all the Taoists who came here. He was Taiyi Xuanxian and stood up in the sky. He stood up in the clouds with eyes full of energy. Looking at Zhang Bao.
"Are you Zhang Bao, the general of the land?" the great monk asked Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao cupped his hands and said, "It's the poor Taoist. How do you call the great monk?"
I saw the great monk clasping his hands together and chanting a Buddha's name loudly: "The poor monk makes the crossing."
"Why bother crossing once and twice? I'll take you back to the West. Don't thank me. This is what I should do." Zhang Bao shouted softly, and then he saw a flash of purple light in his hand, and a huge god flashing purple light. The flag appeared in Zhang Bao's hand.
"Di Gong flag?" Monk Yidu said in surprise, then immediately took off his gilded cassock, stretched out his hand and threw it towards Zhang Bao's head.
Zhang Bao chuckled, and then made a sharp move with the red flag in his hand. The gilt cassock that flew over him instantly fell from the air as if it had grown roots, and clung to the ground with a 'pop' sound. .
Then Zhang Bao moved the Digong flag towards Monk Yidu. Monk Yidu instantly felt his legs sinking, and then his whole body began to sink rapidly.
However, he did not panic, but put his hands together to practice the Dharma. Then a ray of Buddha's light lit up around Monk Yidu, and a "clang" sound was like breaking a shackle, instantly breaking the power of Zhang Baodi's banner.
Then he saw Monk Yidu raise his hand. Before Zhang Bao could see clearly what magic weapon Monk Yidu was offering, he felt a white light flash in front of his eyes, and he immediately felt something bad.
Because this white light is none other than the light when the body-protecting fairy light is shattered.
'Boom'
This was the last sound that Zhang Bao heard, and then his body exploded like an egg hit by a stone. A cloud of blood mist splashed up, and then Zhang Bao's soul retracted the Earthly Flag. , wrapped in his soul and flew back.
Zhang Jue, who was in the distance, looked serious. When he saw this, he immediately raised his hand and took Zhang Bao's spirit and soul into his sleeve.
For gods, serious physical injury or disintegration of the body is also a serious matter.
Needless to say, he was seriously injured, but his physical body collapsed and he basically lost his combat effectiveness, so he could only run away. Although as long as the soul of the soul is still there, it is possible to avoid reincarnation and find ways to reshape the body, but it will take many years and precious elixir resources.
"What an amazing monk." A voice came from below, and Wang Chongyang was seen flying up into the clouds with the white jade toad covered in blood. As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that one person was missing.
"Eh? Where is fellow Taoist Zhang Bao?" Wang Chongyang asked in surprise.
Zhang Jiao said without any emotion: "My body was broken by that monk."
Wang Chongyang was immediately shocked. He immediately helped Bai Yuchan sit cross-legged on the cloud, then shook the sleeves of his Taoist robe and said, "Then let the poor Taoist come and meet this person."
"Brother Taoist, be careful." Zhang Sanfeng hurriedly reminded: "This monk has a ruler magic weapon. It is extremely fast and can break the immortal light that protects the body. Once it is hit, it will not kill you, but you will be disabled. Fellow Taoist, you must be careful."
Wang Chongyang nodded towards Zhang Sanfeng and then flew up.
"Great monk, I heard that you have a very powerful ruler. Take it out and show it to me." Wang Chongyang flew close and said to Monk Yidu immediately.
Monk Yidu said with a smile: "Since fellow Taoists want to see it, then let's see it."
As soon as Monk Du finished speaking, Wang Chongyang's pupils shrank because the ruler had already flown in front of his eyes.
But Wang Chongyang moved faster. He retreated slightly, and then the sword finger of his right hand suddenly moved forward. In an instant, the air swayed, and then a sharp finger light shot out with a 'bang' sound. Then he hit the ruler.
'咻' The ring ruler was hit by Wang Chongyang's finger, and instantly turned into a stream of light and flew backwards.
Monk Yidu was greatly surprised and hurriedly raised his hand to grab the ruler. But the moment he grabbed the ruler, he felt a surging force coming from the ruler.
This is the Dao Dharma Qi machine! Monk Yidu was shocked and hurriedly wanted to get rid of the ruler.
But it was too late. I saw a fingerlight suddenly shoot out from the ruler, instantly penetrated from the center of Monk Yidu's eyebrows, and then passed out from the back of Monk Yidu's head, bringing out a large amount of blood and brain matter.
Once across the Monk's Lingtai and Niwan Palace, they were instantly annihilated, and his eyes gradually became lifeless, and finally turned into gray-white.
Immediately afterwards, Monk Yidu's body tilted, and he suddenly fell from the clouds. Monk Yidu's spirit jumped out of his body wrapped in his soul. After collecting the ruler, he stood on the spot and saluted Wang Chongyang and others.
Wang Chongyang looked at Monk Yuanshen Yidu and said, "Master, you have been defeated, why don't you leave?"
The Yuanshen of the Yidu monk sighed slightly, then looked at the Wutai Buddhist Temple below, and then the Yuanshen's light flashed and disappeared without a trace.
Monk Yidu was killed by Wang Chongyang's "yin and yang finger". The Buddhist monks in the Wutai Buddhist Temple below were unable to resist. They no longer made unnecessary sacrifices. They directly flew into the clouds and mist, using their escape skills to leave Mount Wutai.
Zhang Jiao and others did not pursue the departing Buddhist immortals. Instead, they watched the prefect and the generals below destroy the Wutai Mountain Buddhist temple. After all the monks were driven away and returned to secular life, they rushed to the next place.
...
At this moment, in places with well-known Buddhist temples throughout the Tang Dynasty, battles between Taoism and Buddhism were taking place.
But there are not many that are as smooth as Mount Wutai.
With the power of the magic weapon in his hand, the Dry Leaf Monk from Songshan defeated eleven Taoist Taiyi Xuanxian one after another.
Moreover, there is not only the Buddhist Taiyi Xuanxian, Monk Guye, but also more than 20 Buddhist Taiyi Xuanxian sitting on Mount Song.
Therefore, the attempt to destroy the Buddha in Songshan soon fell into a stalemate. The Taoist Taiyi Xuanxian had no choice but to set up camp with officials and generals of the Tang Dynasty to discuss strategies to destroy the mountain.
...
In the south of the Yangtze River in the Tang Dynasty, there was a Jinshan Temple.
This temple has been unable to be attacked by the Taoist immortals for a long time, except for him, because there is a great Buddhist master in Jinshan Temple. Although he is Taiyi Xuanxian, he has strength comparable to that of Jinxian.
His Dharma name is "Dharma Sea". The Dharma is exquisite and as deep and wide as the sea.
Fahai set up a large Vajra Bodhi formation at Jinshan Temple. Relying on his tyrannical strength, he forcibly allowed a team of more than 30 Taiyi Xuanxian led by a Taoist Golden Immortal to attack Jinshan Temple for dozens of days without success. The sea was so powerful that Jinshan Temple became famous.
