World!

All day?

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, is it not the king's minister?

Zhao Wuxian's ambition was too great, Nanzi couldn't help but be stupid when he heard it, and after half a ring, only his eyes were full of worship. From the time the two first met, Zhao Wuxian was mediocre and not handsome, but only this magnificent spirit that overlooked the world was unmatched. What he wants to achieve is the matter of Qi Huan and Jin Wen, but the career of Cheng Tang and King Wu!

I am afraid that there is only one man in this world who can accomplish such great things?

Nanzi bowed respectfully and said: "Gentleman's ambition, Nanzi is willing to do his best to help!" ”

Zhao Wuxian helped her up: "You can help me, in this matter, only you can help me!" ”

The feeling of being trusted, being carried, and being carried together towards a great cause came to my heart, crispy and numb, more comfortable than the pleasures of the flesh. There was even a moment when Nanzi longed to die for the man in front of him.

But Zhao Wuxian had other thoughts.

This is the Spring and Autumn Period of the fifth century B.C., not the Qin Sweep Liuhe period three hundred years later, the land of Kyushu has not yet ushered in a hundred schools of thought, the enlightenment era of the end of the gods has not yet nourished China, and people have not been severely washed away by the outright atheism of Legalism, and even the more moderate Confucian "worship ghosts and gods and stay away" is only accepted by upper-class intellectuals.

Therefore, the enemies that Zhao Wuxian had to face were not only those powerful state regimes, but also gods who were firmly rooted in their land and believed by the people, especially in the countries of Qi, Chu, and Wuyue......

If we can achieve religious unity at the same time as political unity......

Maybe the tragedy of the death of the second emperor will not be staged in the next great unified dynasty!

Wuxian whispered to Nanzi in his ear: "The spear of the other." The shield of attack, the religion I want. It is a religion based on the Song Kingdom, but it can integrate the official beliefs of the Kingdom of Heaven and the folk ghosts and gods! ”

……

"Although the beliefs of the princes of the world seem complicated. There are big differences, but if you look closely, you will find that they all have some kind of commonality, Nanzi, can you see it? ”

"If we talk about commonality, it should be based on the worship of heaven and law, with the worship of Sheji, the sun and the moon, mountains and rivers as the wings, and the worship of other rivers and ghosts as the supplement......"

Zhao Wuxian said: "That's right, Nanzi, I'll ask you again." Is there a god in this world? Or multiple gods? “

"There are nearly a hundred gods in Chudi alone, of course there are many ......gods" Seeing the smile on the corner of Zhao Wuxian's lips, a trace of cunning flashed in Nanzi's eyes, and he hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "Did the concubine say something wrong again?" Is there only one god in this world? ”

Zhao Wuxian didn't answer.

In the world, traditional nature worship is a kind of polytheism, which recognizes and worships multiple gods, and the beliefs of the nations mentioned by Nanzi are polytheism.

However, after the Axial Age, monotheism began to emerge, which saw "God" as the only creator of the world. and is the benevolent and divine supreme good, who governs and meddles in the activities of mankind.

However, Zhao Wuxian does not intend to continue the polytheism of low competitiveness and complex sects, which cannot form centripetal forces. Nor is it intended to attempt a monotheism that conflicts with the spiritual world of the pre-Qin Chinese.

The new religion in his mind is a native religion rooted in Chinese soil, and as for the basis of her theory......

"Nanzi, you have to remember that there are no more than one God. Nor is it the only one, I call it pantheism......"

"Pantheism?" Nanzi made a stack of fine rattan paper and recorded it carefully. She has long been accustomed to all kinds of unfamiliar words that pop out of Zhao Wuxian's mouth.

A gentleman must be a prophet! She had already preached for Zhao Wuxian among the nobles of the Song Kingdom. to maintain their gratitude, reverence, and fear of Zhao Wuxian.

"Pantheism means that the so-called god is actually the essence of all things. There is only one eternal and eternal essence in the universe. What is finite is from the infinite, not from creation. For example, it is like what Lao Tzu said, Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things. The Tao is the supreme god, the Yin people call it the emperor, the Zhou people call it the sky, let's call it the way of heaven......"

"Heavenly ......"

This is not a word coined by Zhao Wuxian, but it has long been a description of the order of heaven and earth, "Yi Qian": "Qian Heng, the way of heaven is benevolent and bright." "Shu Tang He": "Heaven is blessed with good and evil, and disasters fall in summer." Zichan said: "Heaven is far away, humanity is good".

Nanzi pondered the word carefully, feeling a kind of eternity and vastness.

Zhao Wuxian continued: "The way of heaven is permanent, not for Yao's existence, not for ruin, this is the essence of that eternal immortality. After all things are generated, the Heavenly Dao may be transformed into entities, such as the earth, mountains, rivers, beasts, and human beings...... Or it can be transformed into a spiritual will that overrides all beings, sublimated above the mortal world, and looks at all living beings. ”

Nanzi seemed to suddenly realize, "What about the countless gods that the princes and people believe in?" Where did they come from? ”

"It is also formed by the Heavenly Dao, but the strength and size are not as good as the heavens, so the ghosts and gods are not true or great, only the size is different, and they are all unified in the Heavenly Dao, and there is no difference."

"So whether it is the Eight Divine Lord of the Qi people, or the Eastern Emperor Taiyi of the Chu people, Dongjun, Yunzhongjun, and Si Ming, they are just a form of the Heavenly Dao, I call it the phase, the Heavenly Dao Hundred Phases. As for human ghosts, they are the products of mortals who have made great contributions to heaven and earth, and they are actually part of the heavenly order. ”

Nanzi stared at the things he had described in astonishment: "If according to the gentleman's words, the gods believed in by these nations, and even all things in heaven and earth, are actually coordinated in the way of heaven?" ”

"Not bad." Zhao Wuxian added: "The way of heaven is all-encompassing, all-encompassing, this is the great unification of the way of heaven. ”

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a big difference between local dialects, and the Central Plains dialect and Wuyue dialect were even two language families; The cultures of various countries began to diverge, and even the fonts and costumes began to differ; The deep-rooted consciousness of the party in the country and the township cannot be eliminated at all, and the slogan and aspiration of "the world is determined to be one" are not strong enough.

In this era, there is indeed a lack of a unified foundation on the material level.

But perhaps relying on the "Heavenly Dao" to co-opt the princes and folk gods one by one can accelerate the unity of the people's spiritual beliefs.

"Nanzi, this sect is up to you to establish. It's called Heavenly Daoism, and there are still a lot of things to do next. First, there are some ultimate questions that everyone has. ”

Nanzi asked curiously, "What is the ultimate question?" ”

"I'll test you out. How? ”

At this time, the sky was just right, the air was fresh, Zhao Wuxian looked at the Taihao Temple in the bamboo forest and chanted, this was his favorite Chu Ci in his previous life, it recorded the doubts of people in this era about the way of heaven......

"In the beginning of time, who preached it? The top and bottom are not formed, why should they be tested? Light and dark, but what is the time? The triad of yin and yang, what is the origin and what is the transformation? ”

Half of the obscure "Tianwen" has been recited. Nanzi was dumbfounded, this is indeed the ultimate question.

In the days of antiquity, who passed on this word to future generations?

At that time, the heavens and the earth had not yet taken shape, so where did they come from?

There is no distinction between light and dark, and who can explore the reason?

The atmosphere is a cloud of nothing, how to identify and recognize the world?

The day is bright and the night is dark, who arranged this rule?

Yin and Yang join together to give birth to all things, what is the origin and what is the evolution?

Legend has it that there are nine layers in the vast blue sky, who has ever spent it around?

Such a huge project. Who started building it?

"Where did heaven and earth come into being, and where did human beings come from......"

"How did this world come about?"

Zhao Wuxian looked like a sphinx who asked the question, and asked with a mysterious smile, "Nanzi." You are a great witch, and you must have thought about it, if your followers looked up to you. Can you tell them the answers to these questions? ”

……

Nanzi thought about it for a long, long time. Only then did he say softly: "There are many folk sayings about creation, or it is said that the chaos is chiseled in the day. chisel seven orifices and heaven and earth are born; Or the candle dragon's breath, its eyes closed is night, its eyes open is day, and its breath is wind and rain. But my knowledge is shallow, and I can't tell the difference between the real and the fake. ”

Yes, Zhao Wuxian thought, in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was no legend of Pangu's creation, which was not made up by the Han people's brains until the Three Kingdoms of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the spiritual world of the Chinese in this era is purely fatal, all of which are locally bred seedlings, and Zhao Wuxian planted one casually, which is not inferior to others.

He scoffed and said: "Those nonsense folklore are all false theories and heretics, and you will refute them in the future!" ”

"Nanzi remembered."

Zhao Wuxian preached with a face: "In the Heavenly Dao Sect, the creation of the world can only be the transformation of the Heavenly Dao. At the beginning of ancient times, when there was no heaven and earth, only the image was formless, and the way of heaven was born into yin and yang, and it was separated from the eight poles, so there were all things. This is what Lao Tzu said, all things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and think that they are ......"

Nanzi was stunned by this profound philosophy, and at the same time vaguely felt that there must be some connection between Zhao Wuxian and Lao Tzu, otherwise why would there be so many of his thoughts?

Those mysterious prophets have traveled all over Kyushu, and almost all the virtuous people in the world have been inspired by him......

She blurted out: "Could it be that the gentleman is a disciple accepted by Lao Tzu when he traveled?" In this Taoist theory, there is also Lao Tzu's guidance? ”

Zhao Wuxian was slightly stunned, then smiled and did not answer, becoming more and more mysterious. He thought in his heart that although he had stolen the word "Dao", it was not considered plagiarism of Taoism, anyway, Han and Jin Taoism had been changed beyond recognition by the folk witch Zhu, and it had long been detached from the original intention of Lao Zhuang's doctrine.

Speaking of Taoism, he remembered something: "By the way, I will give Tiandao a symbol......

Under Nanzi's expectant gaze, Zhao Wuxian reached into the clear lake water, stirring up a ripple, startling away the blue and white swimming fish.

His wet fingers drew two opposite fish on the big stone sitting by the lake, and they were intertwined, like all things negative yin and embracing yang, and like Fuxi and Nuwa dragon and snake intersecting.

It is so mysterious, and it is incomparably harmonious, as if it contains the avenue of heaven and earth, the eternal transformation of all things......

After the shirt was painted, he stopped admiring it for a moment before he introduced: "This is a yin and yang fish, also known as Tai Chi, dyed as one black and one white, this is the symbol of Tiandaoism." ”

Nanzi was so stupid that he couldn't wait to make a jade Tiandao symbol and hang it around his neck as soon as he went back, and then build a similar altar in Shangqiu Haoshe and the temples of various Yi societies, so that Tiandao could spread throughout the Song Kingdom.

The prophet's unsympathetic teachings are not yet over: "Nanzi, you have to write down such a passage in your teachings, so that in the future, the followers of the Heavenly Dao will regard any human head with an eagle body, any six-pointed star, and even a cross, a crescent moon, and other symbols as heretics!" The mission of the Heavenly Dao is to defeat, persuade, convert, tolerate, and assimilate them, so that these heretics can be brought back to the order of the Heavenly Dao! ”

PS: The "Heavenly Taoism" in the book has nothing to do with the dime of the stick.
