Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the living room, only me and the village chief were left. The village chief got up and poured me a bowl of wine, poured himself another glass, and said, "Little guest, another bowl?" ”
I frowned, looked at the appearance of the village chief in front of me, picked up the wine bowl and said, "Okay." ”
Putting down the wine bowl, the village chief sighed and said, "Little guest, you shouldn't be an ordinary person, right?" The yang energy in your body is much stronger than that of ordinary people, you should be a person who has cultivated the Tao since childhood, right? ”
I smiled and said, "The village chief has good eyesight, I am indeed a Taoist priest." ”
Seeing that his judgment was accurate, the village chief also smiled and said: "In our Disi Village, eight or nine times out of ten are surnamed Ba, my name is Ba Siqi." ”
"Disi Village? Basiqi? Tibetans? I frowned, looked at the village chief in front of me, a familiar name flashed in my mind, and the next moment, I asked tentatively: "Village chief, are you the descendants of the emperor Ba Si Pa who was personally appointed by Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty?" ”
The village chief smiled and nodded, "The little guest is very knowledgeable, he must be a disciple of the Daomen Great Sect, right?" Speaking of which, my ancestors also had a story with your Daomen. DID YOU KNOW? ”
The early years of the Yuan Dynasty were a dynasty with relatively blank historical records, and the margins of the Yuan Dynasty in the "Ping Demon Ji" were also very short. However, only two people are recorded in detail. One is the head of the Quanzhen Sect, Qiu Chuji, as the most famous Taoist at that time, Qiu Chuji was the leader of the Daomen. However, because Qiu Chuji does not belong to the Zhengyi, the record of Qiu Chuji in "Ping Demon Ji" is not detailed. The other one is the famous Ba Siba, for Ba Siba, Daomen has a unified title: "Dao enemy." ”
Thinking of this, I began to recall that Pa Siba, a native of Tibetan Saska, was born in 1235, and legend has it that he was the reincarnation of the eminent monk Satun Ripa. Therefore, he is gifted, and at the age of three, he can recite mantras and practice mantras. Big and small, five are selfless.
In 1244, at the age of ten, Ba Siba followed his uncle Sakya Ban Zhida to Liangzhou to meet the then Mongolian general Kuoduan, and since then he has lived in Liangzhou for a long time, and seven years later, Sakya Pandita passed away in Liangzhou Transfiguration Temple, according to his last wishes, the seventeen-year-old Basi Ba was called the head of the Sakya sect.
Subsequently, Pasipa gave empowerment to Kublai Khan's whole family, who came to visit, and from then on, Kublai Khan made Pasipa his guru and offered treasures. In 1258, Ba Siba came to Shangdu and participated in the Buddhist and Taoist debates held in front of the Imperial Court at that time, citing Taoist arguments to elaborate on the contradictions of Taoist arguments, and in the end, one side of the debate admitted that it had failed. The seventeen Taoist priests who participated in the debate cut their hair for a living, and all the Taoist temples in Shangdu were transformed into Buddhist temples.
In 1260, Kublai Khan succeeded him as the Great Khan of the Mongols, and immediately made Basiba a national teacher, and authorized him to take charge of the General Yuan, manage the country's religious affairs, and make the 130,000 households in the Tibetan area his fiefdom.
Ten years later, Pasba granted a second tantric empowerment to Kublai Khan, and at Kublai Khan's behest, he created the Mongolian script, and was later made emperor by Kublai Khan. The whole title of the title: "Under the whole world, above the earth, the Son of the West, incarnated as the Buddha, created writing, supported national politics, and was proficient in the Eight Emperors of the Five Ming Panzhi Dabasi." Since then, Ba Siba has been known as the de facto ruler of the religious circles of the Chinese mainland. Sects other than Buddhism have been suppressed, with Taoism being the most severely suppressed, and many small sects of the people have been wiped out in addition to the major sects of Taoism. Since then, for ten years, known as the dark decade of Taoism, after the death of Ba Siba, the Yuan court inherited the religious policy of Ba Siba, and vigorously suppressed all religions except Buddhism, knowing that the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, after the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he adopted an enlightened policy, and Taoism was able to continue to develop. Ba Siba's follow-up classics in the Daomen are known as "Taoist enemies".
When Ba Si Ba was forty years old, he returned to Tibet to live, and died of illness in a few years, only forty-six years old, there are many speculations about the cause of his death, and the record in the "Ping Demon Ji" is that although Ba Si Ba is proficient in Buddhism, he has taken high-pressure measures against other religions, and the cycle of cause and effect has damaged the balance, so he died young. However, another version I heard from Brother Jiu is that after Ba Si Ba returned to Tibet, he studied a kind of artifact medicine, which is said to be able to abolish the cultivation of a cultivator and make him an ordinary person. It's a pity that the matter is not secret, and it was discovered by the people in the Daomen, so he used some means to make Ba Siba die young. Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered, could it be that Ba Siba really developed that kind of drug? Or is it a virus? It's just that Basiba didn't leave any descendants.
I looked at the village chief with some confusion and asked, "Village chief, as far as I know, Ba Siba died young and left no descendants. ”
The village chief smiled and said: "We have always been the descendants of Ba Si's eighth younger brother, and we moved to it at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Later, it was renamed Disi Village. ”
I suddenly remembered the medicine, so I asked tentatively, "Village Chief, did your ancestor really plan to make Taoism disappear?" ”
The village chief looked at me with some curiosity and said, "Little guest, it seems that your division is not ordinary, is it Zhengyi?" Or is it Quanzhenjiao? ”
Hearing the village chief say this, I was a little confused. Could it be that the events of the year were joined forces with the two sects of the Quanzhen Sect? He nodded and said, "I'm the right one." ”
The village chief nodded and said, "Hehe, everything in the world is about cause and effect. It doesn't matter what happened back then. If there was only Baal alone, I would not have taken care of it, it was his fruit. However, since it has harmed innocent people, I can't ignore it. ”
Although I really want to ask the reason for the relationship, I vaguely feel that the hidden thing behind this Si Village is too big, and Ba Siba is a name that makes cultivators tremble when they hear it. He nodded and said, "If the village chief is willing to help, it will be good." Once again, I thanked the village chief for the two policemen. ”
The village chief nodded and said, "It's okay, I have two conditions, I will help you only after you promise me." ”
I thought for a moment and said, "You say." ”
The village chief said, "First, I only have those two policemen, and I will not save Baal." He sees things he shouldn't be looking at, and I hope you don't try to wake him up. Let him bear the consequences of his own seeding. ”
I was a little embarrassed, although the village chief had a point, but I still wanted to say a few words for Baal, but seeing the village chief's serious face, I nodded and said, "Well, I understand. I can promise you. ”
The village chief continued: "It's not that I'm cruel, it's just that what Baal knows is not good for you. Second, it is up to you to save them, and the way to follow them must not be revealed. Even if it's someone from your school, you can't say it. ”
I promised, "That's nature." ”
Unexpectedly, the village chief didn't let me swear, thinking that the village chief believed in cause and effect, and knew that I would not break my word. The village chief handed me a string of Buddhist beads he was wearing and said, "All you need to do is take one of the beads in it, grind it into powder, flush it with water, and let them take it." ”
I took the Buddhist beads, this string of Buddhist beads is black and does not slip into autumn, and I don't know what material it is. It's smooth, obviously passed down through many years. I asked, "In that case, I'll only need one." ”
The village chief shook his head and said, "It's fate, I'll give you this string of Buddhist beads." Believing in Buddhism and believing in the Tao is also for the sake of benefiting the common people, and the methods are different, and they are the same. ”
I folded my hands, bowed respectfully, and said, "Thank you, village chief." ”
