Although the Three Purities are one body, their concepts are different.
Daode Tianzun does everything without doing anything, and all of his disciples are people of daily life. When Shen Gongbao was not an immortal, he participated in the small training of the three religions and had a taste of the "Tao system" of Daode sect.
Lingbao Tianzun, the leader of the trumpet Tongtian Cult, pays attention to teaching without discrimination. He has three thousand horses and thousands of immortals coming to court. He is a radical among the radicals. He has an invincible sword to kill all the immortals in the world.
Yuanshi Tianzun, on the other hand, tends to be lawful. His understanding of a glimmer of hope is different from that of Lingbao Kai, but he does not need to intervene too much. He believes that living beings will find their own way out and that everything has a glimmer of hope.
The appearance is born from the heart, and the Tao is formed by oneself. Taiyi Tianzun is close to Yuanshi Tianzun because he admires the Tao of interpretation and recognizes this concept.
A more accurate explanation of chaos and order is order.
"Why order?" Shen Gongbao asked, his big eyes full of curiosity. Teacher Yuanshi was like a riddle man. He didn't dare to ask more questions, so he could only ask for an explanation from Brother Taiyi.
"Reincarnation is the general trend, and reincarnation is the order." Taiyi Tianzun said leisurely and chuckled: "This era started due to reincarnation, causing the Emperor of Heaven to lose his throne, and the Emperor of Earth to be divided into two. It will eventually end with reincarnation. A happy ending.”
No matter who becomes the Emperor of Heaven, who becomes the protagonist of this era, reincarnation will become the trend of this era. The general trend of Heaven is vast and powerful. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish.
This is the greatest order of this era.
"Reincarnation?!"
Shen Gongbao was shocked, thinking about the legends of later generations, his eyes seemed to have divine light, and he said thoughtfully: "The ghost emperor of Yin and Shang, the sacrificial system, based on Yin virtue, opened up the way of ancestral spirits. This is survival, and it is also reincarnation. .”
"The blood of our ancestors flows in our descendants."
"However, Western Zhou chose another path."
"That's right." Taiyi Jiuzun Tianzun nodded and said: "There is a country in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The surname is Ji, and the food is grain. There is a farmer named Shujun. The emperor Jun gave birth to Houji, and Ji surrendered to the grain."
"Jiangshan Sheji, the river is the water god, the mountain is the mountain god, the she is the earth god, the Ji is the grain god, the emperor is the god of heaven and the earth is the queen, and the earth reincarnates."
"Once the country is established, the family and country will be self-contained, protected by the Holy Emperor and hundreds of gods, and majestic from all directions, they will become the Lord of God."
"The physical bloodline is the inheritance of life, and spiritual beliefs are not the continuation of the ancestors."
"This is also a method of reincarnation."
The bloodline of the Yin and Shang Dynasties and the Sheji of the Western Zhou Dynasty are two completely different sacrificial methods, which correspond to the physical body and spirit of reincarnation respectively. They are endless and closely related.
“So that’s how it is, that’s how it is!”
Shen Gongbao suddenly realized that it is no wonder that the Holy Emperor is always suppressed by the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor, the Queen, the Earth, the country, the country, the sky is the father, and the earth is the mother. The Holy Emperor is based on the country, and if he stands on the side of the mother, he will naturally be suppressed by the father.
"In ancient times, the order was not yet settled. The ancient saint kings all worked hard in the direction of the Emperor of Heaven, including Qing Laojun Taihao, Red Laojun Shennong, Huang Laojun Xuanyuan, White Laojun Shaohao, and Black Laojun Zhuanxu."
Taiyi Jikutianzun said slowly and calmly: "In the transitional stage when Haotian temporarily stayed in Zixiao Palace and Heaven had no owner, five human saint kings all briefly held the throne of Heavenly Emperor, so there is a saying of the Five Gods."
"Until Hongjun disappears, Haotian returns to his throne, the Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial Guards, the Five Directions and Five Elders, the order will be established,"
Shen Gongbao said with emotion: "Now, there is no place in the heaven."
Therefore, the goal of the Holy Emperor is no longer the Emperor of Heaven, but the King of Hades, the Lord of Reincarnation, and to become the first emperor on earth.
It is to inherit the will of the last human black emperor, and from then on, there will be no connection between heaven and earth, God's will belong to God, and the emperor's will belong to the emperor.
This is the most ideal state.
However, the reality is that all parties are restless.
In the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was Emperor Ziwei and God Haotian, who were secretly planning something.
There was Emperor Kuang on the side of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. He might want to find Taiyi, but at the worst, he would push Chengtang to the throne.
Lingbao Tianzun also followed suit, but before he could move, the other side of the human, god, and shaman moved accordingly, fully embodying what it means to be a mess after being cut and sorted out.
It can be said that there is me in you and you in me.
"It seems that there is no peace in the netherworld." Shen Gongbao couldn't help but muttered.
Not only is there a great calamity in the human world, there is also a great calamity in the underworld.
"Guess where my lion is." Taiyi saved Ku Tianzun and laughed.
Shen Gongbao's eyes moved, and he suddenly remembered that the green lion under Taiyi's rescue was guarding the road to the underworld.
Because Qingshi had no time to manage his own children and grandchildren, Juanbao came to work in Qinghua Realm, and was infected with the aura of Jiuling Yuansheng, and gradually became Tingting.
It was also at that time that my family was guided, intentionally or unintentionally, onto the path of Ksitigarbha.
"Senior brother, what do you want me to do?" Shen Gongbao swallowed, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
Taiyi saved Ku Tianzun and coughed, and said seriously: "I want you to go and level the underworld!"
enough!
Enough is enough with you group of unreasonable sages, gods, and immortals.
Shen Gongbao's face was expressionless, but his heart was still roaring. First kill Hongjun, then destroy the heaven, and then level the underworld. Do you want to see what you say?
The three giants of Zixiao Palace, Heavenly Court, Underworld, and Ancient World, this is what I, Shen Gongbao, should do.
"I would rather help the Yin Shang Dynasty." Shen Gongbao rolled his dead eyes, revealed a strange brilliance, and said coldly and ruthlessly: "At least I can still get a life sentence."
Although the eyes of the North Sea are a bit colder, it is still better than dying without a body and a scattered soul.
That is the underworld, the home of all spirits. I don’t know how many great supernatural powers are hidden there, from Houtu to Styx, from King Asura to the ancient wizard, from Emperor Fengdu to the Ghost Emperor of Five Directions, Lord Taishan to Shentu Yulei ...There are no monsters, gods or powers. It can be called the base camp of the devil and the headquarters of the witch clan.
"Ahem, I'm not just asking you to go there alone." Taiyi Ku Tianzun smiled mysteriously, pointed to the west, and said slowly: "There are three souls in heaven and earth, so those who have perfect merits and deeds, Taiyi Duxian; Obsession If they are not dispersed, Yama will govern the ghosts; if the Yin life has not expired, Pluto will govern the people."
Shen Gongbao was thoughtful, but he asked in confusion: "Why can Empress Houtu allow the West to enter reincarnation, evolve into six paths, and cause and effect."
After the end of the ancient Shinto, although the Two Saints of the West made acquaintance with various destined people and destined treasures, they were not worth mentioning in terms of the overall situation of heaven and earth.
Even when the throne of heaven was divided, the West was not prepared to earn the position of the Western Buddha. Instead, it was given to Shaohao.
"Of course it's to add trouble to Tai Sutian." Taiyi Kutian Zun raised his head and looked at the sky without the red hydrangea flying. Then he whispered in a low voice: "The two great mothers have a long history of grudges. It can only be regarded as a small fight for Hou Tu to tear Emperor Wa's position as Emperor of Earth apart."
"Hiss... the Emperor of Earth is just making a small fuss." Shen Gongbao was stunned and couldn't help asking: "Then what is a big deal?"
"Of course it's a battle to create humans." Taiyi Jiku Tianzun sighed and said: "When humans were created... the Yellow Emperor gave birth to yin and yang, the parallel legs gave birth to ears and eyes, and the mulberry forest gave birth to arms and hands. This is why Nuwa has transformed into her seventieth year."
"Huang Emperor, how could the Yellow Emperor participate in the creation of humans?" Shen Gongbao lost his voice and then realized that there was more than one Yellow Emperor in the ancient world.
"The yellow one is the earth one." Taiyi Tianzun explained: "It's the earth emperor."
The Yellow Emperor here naturally does not refer to the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, but to the yellow emperor, the Emperor of the Earth.
However, at that time, only Emperor Wa and Houtu could be called the emperors of the earth.
"Houtu believed that the human race was a member of all spirits and that all living beings were equal. Emperor Wa believed that the human race was the continuation of humans and gods and was born noble."
Taiyi Tianzun lamented: "The two Great Mother Goddess were arguing over the creation of humans. This was also one of the causes of the Lich War."
"F*ck!" Shen Gongbao finally couldn't sit still. The emotional lich war was fought between the two earth mothers. His eyes almost popped out. He took a deep breath and said: "Brother, I remember the lich war. The two earth mothers didn't. Let’s fight.”
"The Earth Mother did not fight, but their descendants fought." Taiyi Tianzun said with a bitter smile: "After all, they are two great mother gods."
"Houtu gave birth to faith, and faith gave birth to Kuafu. Kuafu is the direct descendant of the Houtu Divine Clan. In addition, Dayou is a descendant of Emperor Yan, representing Yandi Shennong's support for Houtu."
"However……"
"However, Yinglong is in the Antarctic. He killed Chiyou first and then Kuafu. He could not come back." Shen Gongbao was completely numb. There was actually a dispute between Yan and Huang hidden behind the two great mother goddesses.
Everyone knows the final outcome, with Huang Di winning and Yan Di losing.
Taiyi Tianzun said slowly: "With the help of the human race Xuanyuan, Emperor Wa gradually gained the upper hand, and the myth of the other Earth Mother gradually shrank."
"It turned into Emperor Wa who made a human out of clay."
Emperor Wa's creation of human beings out of clay seems to be the same thing, but in fact there are three people: Emperor Wa, earth, and human beings.
Emperor Wa took the essence of the earth and used it to create humans, which is equivalent to using the flesh, blood, essence and blood of Hou Tu. This is a sign of great virtue!
If the sky is healthy, a gentleman will strive to strengthen himself; if the terrain is weak, a gentleman will be virtuous.
In the dark, the will of the earth was born, and it will last forever.
"So, you brought me, the descendant of Emperor Yan, to take the blame." Shen Gongbao said faintly, suddenly realizing that everything was right.
The Yellow Emperor won. He had countless descendants and established countless kingdoms. His descendants begot grandsons, and grandsons begot sons.
Today's human race is more or less part of the blood of the Yellow Emperor. If they are not treated favorably by the descendants, they will naturally not be able to become Ksitigarbha.
Only Shen Gongbao, a pure direct descendant of Emperor Yan, who is not contaminated by Xuanyuan's aura and goes to sit in the eighteenth level of hell, will not be rejected by Hou Tu.
"Junior brother, what you said is wrong." Taiyi Jiku Tianzun said with a righteous expression: "You are the ambassador of Buddhism and Taoism in hell. You are a second-generation disciple of the Immortal Tao in the blood of Emperor Yan. Among the second-generation disciples, you have the strongest blood of Emperor Yan. "
“This is a match made in heaven!”
"Yuxu Palace has decided that you will carry forward Zen, ahem, and explain the teachings."
Only if you are not disgusted by Hou Tu can you have the possibility of entering the netherworld, becoming an undercover agent, and have the chance to pacify the underworld.
Taiyi Tianzun said that the joke was not nonsense, and everything was predestined.
One thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes an immortal, one thought becomes a witch, one thought becomes a demon, one thought becomes a king, and one thought becomes a yellow.
This is prehistoric!
"Okay...let's do it." Shen Gongbao just thinks that life is what it is, and he can start enjoying it if he can't resist. Whether it's teaching or Zen, he can accept it.
As soon as he put the cassock on his upper body and placed the broken bowl on the ground, he began to practice Buddhism, and he could do it as long as he could.
Anyway, Beihai Haiyan is lying flat, and the eighteen levels of hell are also in ruins. They are all living in darkness, there is no difference.
"It's not just about doing it, it's also about succeeding." Taiyi Jiku Tianzun coughed and warned: "You are responsible for guarding reincarnation and logistics, which is of great significance."
"The wisdom of Manjusri is the teacher of all Buddhas, the compassion of Guanyin guides all living beings, and the practice of universal wisdom connects the pure lands of the heavens."
"When the time comes, the four of you will join forces to discipline the old Buddha with many treasures sitting on the lotus platform, the eight Mahayana sects, who will be the sole master of my Zen teaching."
"The Dharma of Maitreya, the Eight Consciousnesses and Four Wisdoms, the Pure Land of Gorgeous Flowers, and Amitabha Buddha are all worth mentioning."
"Replacing the original nature of Bodhi with the original mind, in the age of the end of the Dharma, it is impossible to be without form, to see the nature with a clear mind, and to become a Buddha immediately without establishing words or shaping the Buddha nature."
"Then put on his cassock and misinterpret his..."
"Brother, it's over, it's over, we are on the right path." Shen Gongbao immediately stopped Taiyi Tianzun and refused to let him continue. If he continued to speak, he would really become a villain.
The Saint Buddha who is the origin of emotions is also a Buddha, right?
"That's what it means, just understand the spirit." Taiyi Jiku Tianzun muttered, calmed down, put down the lion, picked up the magic weapon, and sat back on the lotus flower at home.
"Junior brother, do you still have questions?"
Taiyi Tianzun sitting on the lotus platform has a solemn appearance, as if he is a serious immortal.
"It's not a big problem."
Shen Gongbao took a deep breath. Compared with the grand ambitions of sweeping the Zixiao Palace, overthrowing the Heavenly Court, pacifying the Underworld, and elevating Buddhism, the Yin Shang Ghost Emperor and Tianyi Chengtang were just small goals.
Suddenly, it became ordinary and not so scary.
"Then go." Taiyi Tianzun's voice was ethereal, as if the supreme god was speaking: "In times of crisis, you will be saved by meeting Li."
"Ling Zhuzi, or Li Jing?" Shen Gongbao asked
"Spiritual beads." Taiyi Tianzun raised his eyelids, becoming more and more ethereal, and said slowly: "Junior brother, don't ask so bluntly next time, our Immortal family pays attention to the clouds, mountains and mist, leaving no traces. There is a Zen opportunity.”
"I got it." Shen Gongbao took the reassurance and walked out of Qibao Forest in a big way, about to leave in search of treasures.
Suddenly, he found that the whole beast of Juan Bao was buried in a pile of gold. When he saw Shen Gongbao coming out, he shouted: "Master, I have obtained thirty thousand square meters of immortal gold to cast a golden body for you."
"That's good, that's good."
Shen Gongbao put away the Immortal Gold, coughed and said: "You will donate 30,000 gold to rebuild the Shen Kingdom in the future. I will allow each of you to become a general."
"Each person has a general." The gods looked at each other, and one of them boldly shouted: "Master Bodhisattva, there are too many generals."
"Then one will be prime minister." Shen Gongbao sold his official position without hesitation and said with a smile: "How about making a few more counts?"
"No, no." The gods immediately shook their heads.
"Then what do you want?" Shen Gongbao spread his hands, his sleeves were filled with wind, and all the gold was swallowed up by Juan Bao.
"Master Bodhisattva is merciful." A group of real people, god kings, strong men, and boys shouted loudly: "Please show me a way to survive."
"That's alright." Shen Gongbao pondered for a moment and said, "You guys, in the future, if you hear these three words, Taoist friend, please stay, magic weapon, please turn around, this thing is destined to me, turn around and leave."
"I guarantee that you will still have a glimmer of hope in your calamity."
