Chapter 581: Two Sages
The teachings of the White Lotus Sect are mixed, and all schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism contain them, and the main lineage is the Buddhist Baisu Army
The convergence of sects and Mingjiao, among which Mingjiao has the greatest influence, and the lineage of the head of the sect, the organization of the religion, and the basic doctrines are all derived from Mingjiao.
It's just that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, because Zhu Yuanzhang called himself "King of the Ming Dynasty" according to the teachings of Mingjiao, the country name was also called Ming, so he severely cracked down on Mingjiao, so that it had to be renamed the White Lotus Sect.
Mingjiao, also known as Manichaeism, came from Persia and its basic doctrine was the struggle between light and darkness, believing that light would triumph over darkness.
The White Lotus Sect has a secret recipe that has been passed down for many years, "The sludge comes from the chaos of enlightenment, and the white lotus is prosperous", which embodies the basic doctrine of the struggle between darkness and light.
At the same time, there are two sacred objects that manifest this formula, one of which represents "primordial darkness."
The Ball of Chaos, the second is the white jade lotus hua that represents the "light of the end times", the two treasures together have an extremely large utility, what it is, only the masters of the past generations know.
Originally, the Ball of Chaos remained in the Persian Manichaean Sect, which meant that the Sect was the source of the inheritance, and the White Jade Lotus Hua was preserved by the Ming Sect in Middle-earth, which meant that the Ming Sect would be carried forward in Middle-earth.
The Ming religion of Middle Earth has indeed been carried forward, the Red Turban Army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was in full swing, and Han Lin'er and Liu Futong established the Dragon and Phoenix regime, almost seized the entire world, and then although Zhu Yuanzhang seized the country, after all, the folk influence is great, and it has been inherited for hundreds of years, and the white jade lotus Hua has also been handed down.
And the Persian Patriarch was very reckless, and was slaughtered by the Hulegu army of Meng Yuan's Western Expedition, and even the Chaos Ball was snatched away, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then.
Bai Yulian hua has to be combined with the Chaos Ball to be effective, since the Chaos Ball is lost, Bai Yu,
The lotus flower only has a symbolic meaning, and its status has declined, and it has gradually changed from a token of the sect leader to an offering to serve the lifeless old mother, and is in charge of the holy king's envoy.
If the Ball of Chaos can be recaptured, it means that the White Lotus Sect will once again continue the inheritance of the Persian Archival Sect and control the two holy relics at the same time!
The White Lotus Sect Leader was immediately overjoyed, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he said in a loud voice: Okay, Asha did a good job! What is the first life of the Qin Devil? If the Sphere of Chaos can be recaptured, the Cult will surely regain its prestige! ”
Ai Kuchan also said: "Congratulations to the Holy Sect Master! If the two holy relics are merged, it is in response to the magic of "sludge comes from chaos Qi, and the white lotus is prosperous, I am afraid that overthrowing the pseudo-Ming and pseudo-dynasty and rebuilding the dragon and phoenix court is just around the corner!" ”
"Since it is expected to recapture the Chaos Ball, then inform the Gao Zuo Envoy to hand over the White Jade Lotus Hua" The White Lotus Sect Master couldn't help but purse his lips and smiled, and stroked the top of Asha's head lovingly: "Asha, Asha, no wonder the master calculated the astrology a few years ago, and the luck of the pseudo-Ming Dynasty will be bad in your hands, and finding the Chaos Ball this time is an excellent example." Ai Kuzen, Zi Hanyan and the others were all in one place, knowing that this was the sect leader beating themselves, so they bowed their heads and said: "The Holy Maiden is a heavy burden of the sect, and his subordinates will do their best to assist, so that the holy sect will be carried forward as soon as possible, and the dragon and phoenix banner will reappear in the world!" "That's right, the White Lotus Sect Master smiled and nodded, his beautiful eyes were burning with a raging fighting spirit, as if he saw the day when the Red Turban Banner swept the world again...
"Here, it tastes very good, master should try it" Asha handed a string of sugar gourds to the White Lotus Sect Master.
Belch? The White Lotus Sect Master subconsciously took the sugar gourd, and his thinking suddenly shifted from the scene of the killing and conquest to this string of red and gorgeous sugar gourds.
Asha smiled sweetly at her, turned around and bounced away: "Master, I'm going undercover in Qinlin's mansion, don't worry, wait for the good news!" ”
"This Asha, really" Ai Kuchan habitually smiled bitterly, looked at the majestic and dignified sect leader with a string of sugar gourds stuffed in his hand, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Actually, I really want to eat sugar gourds" The White Lotus Sect Leader smiled gently, and in an instant, it was like the iceberg first thawing and the snow peak thawing, and he gently opened his mouth and chewed the sugar gourd slowly, not knowing which one is more bright and dazzling, red lips or red and bright sugar gourd?
Asha happily returned to the house, and happily kicked the big yellow dog that hit his tail to meet him, but the big yellow dog became more and more flattering and wagged his tail more happily.
The female soldiers passing by and the captain of the army all felt strange, this big yellow dog was fierce and ruthless, and he had always been very evil to Lu Yuanzhi and these people, but when he met Asha, he was very honest, and it was really strange.
Qin Lin also came back and was talking to Xu Xinyi and Qingdai in the hall. ,
Asha looked around and no one was paying attention, pretending to walk the dog, leaning over and eavesdropping on what they were saying.
“.. Look at that Huang Taiji, I'm afraid it's a miscellaneous zhong, if it's really a descendant of the golden family, how can I not know that Urwen is also here
Calendar? ”
Qin Lin said very disdainfully, causing Xu Xinyi to laugh for a while, and Qing Dai pursed his # mouth and grinned: "Brother Qin is really bad, if Huang Taiji hears it, he will definitely be half angry." "It turns out that Uncle Qin has gone to Huang Taiji with the Chaos Ball, hmph, why didn't he come to ask me? Asha thought so, and stunned Rhubarb's ears.
But I heard Qin Lin say again: "But Huang Taiji and Bahechi guessed blindly, saying that this thing may be recognized by the Usizang Tantra, I think it is possible, so I will stay with them for the time being, and let the Usizang Tsogyada Varpindi help us take a look." ”
This also deceived two thousand silver, and when the time comes, it will be too easy for Qin Lin, who is in charge of the Fusi of Beizhen, to get Urwin back.
What the? Asha outside the window was so anxious that she grabbed her hair, she knew that the Chaos Ball was actually useless to Qin Lin, so it could be regarded as an explanation if she stole it and handed it over to the master.
Who knew that Qin Lin gave the Ball of Chaos to the ancient people of Menglu, and he wanted to give it to the great master of the Jinding Temple, if it was in the hands of the Dharma King, how could he steal it back?
The Venerable King of Jinding Temple and the White Lotus Sect Master are equally famous, and he has been the top master in the world for decades, and he is the top master in the world today, and Buddhism, martial arts, and scriptures are three uniques, and his junior brother is probably also an extraordinary master, and Asha is probably not an opponent.
Do you have to go out with the master himself? It's still not good to provoke Tantra, our White Lotus Sect and Zha Lun Jinding Temple have always been well water and not river water," Asha pouted depressedly.
Not long after, Asha sneaked out of the mansion and re-entered the compound.
But there was no one here, and it was empty as if no one had ever come.
Asha had nothing to do, left a secret note of his visit, and returned home in a huff.
On the second day, all the merits of the Holy Consciousness are immeasurable, and the Veda of the Golden Dome Monastery is 1! The younger brother of the Dharma King, on the snowy plateau, convinced dozens of virtuous monks, the incomparably noble Venerable Venerable Venerable, the Dharma drove to the Beijing Division.
The lamas of Longfu Temple, some officials and people who believed in Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism in Beijing, officials from the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and Huitong Hall sent by the imperial court, and all the Mongolian nobles led by Huang Taiji of the Tumut Department all went to greet them.
Ten miles outside the city, the gongs and drums are noisy, the copper trombone makes a low and majestic sound, as if the strong Buddha sound from the west sky, all the lamas of the Longfu Temple are dressed up to welcome, holding the pestle, the prayer wheel, the vajra cone, the blessing treasure and other magic instruments, arranged neatly.
Most of the people did not understand the difference between Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism and Zen Buddhism in the mainland, but only knew that it was a reincarnated Bodhisattva, a great virtuous monk, and all of them flocked to watch.
The Mongolian nobles led by Huang Taiji were all draped, wearing gorgeous Mongolian robes, and wearing Buddhist beads made of cat's eyes, pearls, and agate around their necks, waiting reverently.
Several court officials who believed in Confucianism, although they told themselves in their hearts that they were silent and strange, could not help but shake their hearts at this moment.
This kind of power, the Dharma King has not yet arrived, and he has already taken the lead.
It's coming, it's coming! A little lama ran over happily, shouting all the way.
From the direction of Tongzhou, a large group of people and horses came from afar, only to see two yaks with pure white fur in the lead, walking with a steady step, and the whole body was decorated with gold and gold jewelry, which looked noble and gorgeous.
Then there were eighteen red-robed monks, all of whom were born in strange shapes, holding large gongs in their hands
All kinds of strange weapons such as scepters and golden pestles, the knowledge of the Jingshi martial arts, said in a low voice: "The eighteen protectors of the Jinding Temple have arrived!" ”
Then there was a group of young women dressed in colorful clothes, all dressed in Uszang's clothes, with two balls of plateau red on their faces, carrying water jugs and hua baskets in their hands, throwing clean water and hua petals all the way.
A group of people came, I really don't know how big the pomp and circumstance, only let the officials and the people see the dazzling, the end is a huge step, white glazed top, the crimson gauze tent is piled down on all sides, the gold thread is embroidered with a lot of Sanskrit, and the distance is like a cloud.
"Venerable Welling has arrived!" There was an earth-shattering cheer from the crowd that greeted them, and the Mongolian nobles led by Huang Taiji were so fascinated that they all turned over and bowed down, looked at the step and bowed to the top, and chanted the words in their mouths: "King Welling, the Dharma drives the Central Plains, spreads the merits and promotes the Buddha, and the virtue is immeasurable!"
I'm dizzy, why isn't it the old immortal of the stars driving the Central Plains? Qin Lin, who was standing next to the road with the officials and schools, only felt a little funny in his heart. ,
It is his duty to take a look at what this King Welling is from, how many catties and taels he has, and what kind of role it will play for the Mongolian nobles.
Zhu Yingzhen, the Duke of Chengguo, and Zhang Cheng, the celebrant supervisor, these two were specially sent by the imperial court, and the imperial court wanted to influence the Tibetans and the ancient people of Mongolia by encircling the Jinding Temple, so they showed their honor, not only crowned King Weiling as the "empowerment of the great teacher" but also sent a national prince and a Bing
The pen eunuch came out to greet him.
Zhu Yingzhen is timid and afraid of things, and Zhang Cheng has the superstitions that eunuchs have.
"This empowerment great teacher, if the Dharma is really strong, just looking at the posture of the prostrations of thousands of people, tsk..".".".". Zhu Yingzhen admired reverently.
Zhang Cheng was even more inspired: "Hey, Cisheng Li Niangniang believes in Buddhism, let's go back to the palace to talk about it, but also make a good fate, General Qin, what do you say?" "But no, Empress Dowager Li is the most superstitious in the entire palace, worships Buddha all day long, and even built a Cishou Temple, and made a statue of Nine Lotus Bodhisattva according to her appearance.
Zhang Cheng's abacus crackled, and he introduced King Welling to the Queen Mother, and he would definitely be able to get the favor of the Empress Dowager Li!
Qin Lin was very unhappy when he heard this, King Welling obviously colluded with the Mongol forces to argue that the Jinding Temple had a tendency to merge with Altan Khan's politics and religion, and if King Welling used the superstition of Empress Dowager Li to make trouble, it would be troublesome.
"This, I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the rules, after all, the King of Law is a foreign minister of Fanbang" Qin Lin said thoughtfully, knowing that his persuasive power was relatively small, and most of them did not dispel Zhang Cheng's thoughts.
Sure enough, although Zhang Cheng didn't argue with Qin Lin, the eagerness in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
Qin Lin sighed secretly in his heart, it doesn't matter whether Empress Dowager Li has Zhang Cheng's recommendation or not, just today's pomp and circumstance is very confusing, and the appearance of King Welling in the capital with the glorious image of promoting the Dharma from the West can be said to be the first to take the lead, and it has invisibly created a situation in his favor.
I was at a loss for energy, but I saw some commotion behind the crowd, and there were a lot of people on both sides of the canal not far away, not knowing what they were doing.
Qin Lin wondered, these days he mainly focused on the affairs of Huang Taiji and King Welling, and even Murad's Lu Mi Tong manufacturing technology was thrown to Zhao Shizhen, so he didn't care about anything else, so he didn't know what was going on on the side of the canal.
Fortunately, I brought Hua Deguan by my side and asked the ghost in this place, and immediately spit on the stars and flew straight away:, the long word asked the small one, and he really asked the right person. These people are all from the south of the country, including Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong, as well as many tribute envoys from Nanyang, saying that they want to welcome Mazu Niangniang, a chief, and there are so many people who believe in Mazu along the southern coast. ”
I saw three very large and gorgeous boats sailing from afar on the canal, the boats were carved and painted, decorated with pearls, precious stones, jade, and jade, and the sails were embroidered with golden mountain patterns, which were as brilliant as burning clouds in the sunlight.
The sailors on the ship were all dressed in black suits, and they were all neatly packed and extraordinarily energetic
On the deck of the ship in front of the head, there stood a Mazu Niangniang carved from mutton fat and white jade, which could not be seen clearly from a distance, and gradually the ship got closer, only to see that the Mazu jade statue was about the same height as the person, and the jade quality was very warm and delicate, and it looked particularly beautiful.
Mazu, also known as the Heavenly Concubine, the Queen of Heaven, the Virgin of Heaven, and the Mother of Heaven, is a god worshipped by shipwrights, seafarers, travelers, merchants and fishermen throughout the ages. In ancient times, sailing at sea was often attacked by wind and waves and shipwrecked, and the safety of the crew became a major concern for the navigators, who pinned their hopes on the protection of the gods. Before the ship sets sail, it is necessary to worship the celestial concubine, pray for the smooth wind and safety, and set up the celestial concubine on the ship to worship.
How could you see the Mazu Statue in Jingshi, and there are so many people to greet you, what's going on?
What made Qin Lin even more puzzled was that the appearance of the jade statue was indistinguishable from a distance, and when he got closer, he realized that it looked like an old acquaintance of his!
