Qi Hufei was surprised, and hurriedly helped Lu Cheng up, and asked, "Mr. Lu, what the hell is going on?" ”

Lu Cheng stood up, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "The Blood Luo Yi is dyed with the blood of 100,000 disciples, and it condenses the soul power of the sect masters of the past dynasties, and it is the most important token of this sect. For many years, I have been searching for the reincarnation of the Sect Master, and the sky has eyes, I have finally found you! ”

Qi Hufei said: "It turns out that Mr. is also a member of the Demon Sect. Did you already know who I was? ”

Lu Cheng looked at him puzzled: "Since the sect leader can wear the blood Luo robe and his soul is undamaged, it means that the masters and disciples of the past generations have recognized you, don't you still know the origin of my sect, how can you call yourself a demon sect?" ”

Qi Hufei was surprised: "Isn't it the Demon Sect?" Mr. seems to have been called that before. ”

Lu Cheng shook his head and said, "The outside world calls us the Demon Sect, which is a complete misunderstanding. My teaching is called Wanjiao, taking the meaning of 'all laws are one, all kinds are equal', which was created by the great god Fuxi in ancient times, and once stood side by side with the four religions of expounding the teachings, intercepting the teachings, and the human teachings, and holding the bull's ears of the three realms. ”

Qi Hufei heard it, this is a bit big!

It turned out to be created by the great god Fuxi.

Thinking of pretending to be a disciple of Fuxi in Xiaocuiyun Mountain to scare Yan Yan Daxian, he felt funny.

Now that he has become the leader of the sect created by the Great God of Fuxi, in this way, he has finally established a relationship with Huoyun Palace, so his identity as a disciple of Huoyun Palace is not a confession.

Well, next time I go to Flame Mountain, I can have a good chat with Yan Yan Daxian, oh no, and Huo Ling'er.

Of course, you have to get the Fire Bead first, otherwise you won't be able to enter the depths of the Flame Mountain. You can't just take a banana fan and fan it all the way in, right?

Besides, this banana fan is not authentic, not to mention the cottage, it is also a mini, and the energy must be a lot worse.

It's a pity that the water unicorn was sold at the beginning. If you want to get it back, it will take a lot of trouble.

Qi Hufei thought in his heart, and asked, "Since it is a sect created by the Great God of Fuxi, how did it become a demon sect later?" ”

"That's a long story!" Lu Cheng sighed, "The great god of Fuxi founded all religions, and the purpose of the establishment of the religion is that all classes are equal, and all things originate from the Tao, and all can become Taoists. Therefore, the Ten Thousand Sects are the most free of all sects, adhering to the principle of having a religion without class, no matter where the disciples are born, whether they are demons or witches, people or ghosts, they can join the religion? So heyday? The scale is very large, far exceeding the other three religions.

But is it precisely because there is no class in teaching? All classes are equal? There is no hierarchy in the sect, and Emperor Xi does not regard himself as the leader of the sect? Therefore, there is no strict management. There are many people, and it is inevitable that there will be some confusion? There is no shortage of scum among them? If you always do unrighteous things, you will not be tolerated by the other three religions.

Later, after several calamities between heaven and earth, the witch clan was almost wiped out, and the demons also declined badly? Wanjiao has been declining since then? The other three religions were able to preserve and flourish because of their strict admitception and unity within the church. By the time of the Great Tribulation of the Gods, no one had mentioned the Ten Thousand Sects? Even Western religion is inferior.

After the gods, the three religions gradually declined? And the heavenly court grows, and Buddhism rises? The Three Realms have once again reached a state of equilibrium.

Heavenly Court subdues the four seas and dominates the universe. But because of the strict hierarchy? There are many ancient immortals who are unwilling to attach themselves to the heavenly court? Especially the remnants of the ancient lich? It is even more discriminated against, only all religions can tolerate everything, regardless of their origins, so these forces have all converted to all religions, and all religions have the appearance of flourishing again.

But because of the large proportion of demons in the Ten Thousand Sects, the spells they learned are also strange, and since then they have also been known as the Demon Sect, and they have been suppressed by the Heavenly Court and the Three Realms. The more you suppress, the more you resist, and the more you resist, the more you sit, the more you confirm the name of the Demon Sect. ”

Qi Hufei said: "But wasn't the Ten Thousand Sects founded by the Great God of Fuxi? Does he not care? ”

Lu Cheng said: "After Emperor Xi founded the religion, he no longer intervened in the affairs of the religion, and at this time, I don't know how many eons have passed since the founding of the Xi Emperor. Besides, the Wanjiao sect has been jointly suppressed by the heavenly court and Buddhism, and even the Sanqing saints are also supportive. If he doesn't make a move, at least the saints can save face for each other, if he makes a move, then everyone tears their faces, and it will be another catastrophe. In the end, it is not the people of the world who will suffer, but all living beings in the world! ”

Qi Feifei felt that a long time was not a problem, and it was estimated that the latter reason was the main reason.

The earliest prosperity of the Ten Thousand Sects must have caused dissatisfaction among many saints, and it was normal for them to be jointly suppressed. It's like I raised so many monsters in Pansiling, if I find out the details by the Honggu County Chenghuang Division, I'm afraid that tomorrow I will apply for the Heavenly Soldiers to come to the lower realm to arrest them.

If the power of the Ten Thousand Sects is allowed to develop, the other sects will definitely fear that they will one day be swallowed up.

Qi Jufei asked, "Since the Ten Thousand Sects have been suppressed, why don't the Sects unite?" ”

Lu Cheng sighed: "Emperor Xi doesn't come out to take charge, and the sect has not been able to find an outstanding hero to preside over the situation. Moreover, Heavenly Court's policy towards all religions is not to exterminate them all, but to divide and suppress them.

The members of the Ten Thousand Sects are extremely widely distributed, and there are many types, and there are actually not many who are traitors and criminals and violate the rules of heaven. The above can't be done too much, if you really have to force it too quickly, force the sect members to unite and twist them into a monolith, then it will be difficult to deal with. Therefore, they have adopted a policy of reaping and releasing on the one hand, suppressing on the one hand, appeasement on the other, and letting go after a period of suppression, and finding a few people who are not firm in their stance to absorb the past and make a fortune and set up a typical example. In this way, the Ten Thousand Sects will be suppressed forever and will not be able to prosper, but they will not be killed until the Journey to the West......"

"Journey to the West?" Qi Jufei asked curiously, "Does Journey to the West still have anything to do with Wanjiao?" ”

Lu Cheng said: "Journey to the West is the aftermath of the gods. The catastrophe of heaven and earth, like an earthquake, does not release energy all at once, and is followed by continuous aftershocks, sometimes affecting tens of thousands of years. The God Tribulation is relatively complete, but the aftermath is still very powerful. In order to eliminate the calamity, the saints of all parties discussed a plan. ”

"Is it Journey to the West? Find four people, go to Lingshan to get a scripture, and send the Buddhist scriptures to Dongtu, can you eliminate the disaster? Qi Hufei was a little puzzled.

"Journey to the West is not so simple." Lu Cheng said: "We are used to calling it Journey to the West, but in fact, the whole catastrophe is not as simple as Tang monks and apprentices learning scriptures from the West. The period of 500 to 1,000 years before and after is counted in the Journey to the West. ”

Qi Hufei nodded and said, "I see." ”

He remembered the plot of Havoc in the Heavenly Palace in Journey to the West, which indeed happened five hundred years before Journey to the West. As for what happened after Journey to the West, he is not very clear, it is said that there is a sequel to Journey to the West. But the stories in the sequel are probably all made up, and they probably have nothing to do with the world he lives in now.

"You just said that until the Journey to the West, what happened to Wanjiao? Isn't Journey to the West a plan negotiated by the saints to eliminate the catastrophe, and what does it have to do with all religions? He asked.

Lu Cheng said: "How the saints discussed this plan, the old slave did not dare to assert, but he could guess it. ”

"Oh, tell me about it."

Qi Hufei was curious. This old Lu dared to guess the words of the Sacred Heart, so he was not afraid of being detected by the saints?

Lu Cheng said: "After the gods, the power of the heavenly court grew, and the three religions gradually declined, and the three Qing saints, who were originally the ancestors of the three religions, gradually became a spiritual symbol, and all the real power was in the hands of the Jade Emperor. Sanqing was naturally unwilling to retire early like this.

The Jade Emperor was actually dissatisfied, because the influence of the Sanqing was too great, the status was too high, and the immortals were all their disciples and grandchildren.

And in the Lingshan, which has created a unique realm in the West, it has grown rapidly after being consecrated as a god, and it is not under the control of the heavenly court, and it is independent to open up the Great Lingshan Great Enchantment, which seems to be the biggest winner in the catastrophe of the gods. However, the influence of Buddhism at that time was too small, and it was only confined to the area around Lingshan. As fellow saints, they are naturally not satisfied.

Everyone was dissatisfied, just as the biggest aftermath after the Great Tribulation of the Gods came, they hit it off and discussed such a plan, which not only eliminated the catastrophe, but also gave all parties the opportunity to reshuffle their cards and take what they needed. ”

"How do you take what you need?" Qi Jufei asked.

Lu Cheng said: "Among the three Qings, headed by Taishang Laojun, the original three religions were integrated together and all included in the Tao, so there was a phenomenon of 'all the immortal sects in the world are one religion', and it has become the most powerful Taoism." Almost all the Heavenly Court Immortals since then have come from their disciples.

Through the spread of Buddhism to the east, Rulai expanded the influence of Buddhism and became the sect with the largest number of believers in the world. With so many believers, the Buddhist family has produced many great monks, and then the number of Arhats in Lingshan has surged, and several quasi-saint and semi-saint-level figures have appeared. In just over a thousand years, there have been such achievements, and Buddhist practice does have merit.

In this way, Taoism and Buddhism were divided into two worlds among the people, and since then, the joint office of the three realms has also relied on this talent training system. ”

Qi Hufei said: "But in this way, isn't the power of the Jade Emperor reduced? Wouldn't all the benefits brought to him by the Great Tribulation of the Gods be negated, how could the Jade Emperor agree? ”

"If it was just that, of course the Jade Emperor would not agree. However, the Jade Emperor knew that the future reform of the system would be inevitable, and once the reform was carried out, his power would always be reduced, and even he would have to retreat into the background. ”

"What conditions did he offer?"

"Build a merit forest and collect the merit tax of the Three Realms."

Qi Hufei suddenly said: "It turns out that the merit tax started at that time. ”

Lu Cheng said: "Actually, the matter of collecting the merit tax of the Three Realms should have been planned for a long time, maybe before the gods, the Heavenly Court was already planning at the beginning of its creation. It's just that on the one hand, it is necessary to obtain the consent of all parties, and on the other hand, it also needs a matter related to the distribution of merits, so that it can be promoted smoothly, and Journey to the West undoubtedly meets these two requirements.

On the surface, the Journey to the West incident is dominated by Lingshan, but in fact, Heavenly Court is the real protagonist. Without the cooperation of Heavenly Court, this plan could not be implemented at all. In addition, once a large amount of merit tax is collected, Heavenly Court has the ability to balance the Heavenly Dao to a certain extent, delaying or dispersing the coming of the calamity. This is something that everyone is happy to see. Therefore, the conditions proposed by the Jade Emperor have no reason for the other parties to disagree. ”

"But what good is it for the Jade Emperor to collect a merit tax? After the implementation of the Heavenly Court reform, he finally abdicated. Qi Feifei still didn't quite understand.

"This is exactly the genius of the Jade Emperor. On the surface, he got very little benefit, he was forced by the situation, and he cooperated very well in a scene where the Monkey King haunted the Heavenly Palace. In fact, he had already been refining the Immeasurable Merit Tablet. This also proves that the merit tax has long been in his plan.

When the construction of the merit forest was completed and the merit tax of the Three Realms began to be collected, the Jade Emperor's immeasurable merit tablet was also just refined, and all the merit energy was concentrated on the immeasurable merit stele. Because of the power of balancing the Heavenly Dao, the Immeasurable Merit Tablet has naturally become the first treasure of the Three Realms.

After the reform of the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor abdicated with peace of mind, but the immeasurable merit monument was still in his hands. As long as he has this monument in his hand, he will always be the supreme of the Three Realms, even if Sanqing and the Buddha have to give him three points.

So now, the Jade Emperor still firmly controls the heavenly court. Yang Jian of the Immortal Aegis Bureau is his grandson, Li Jing, the commander of the garrison, is his confidant, not to mention the golden boy and jade girl in charge of the Gongdelin, who was originally his attendant. In addition, does the sect leader know how the candidates for Journey to the West were chosen? ”

Qi Hufei said: "Isn't this a temporary decision, but an early election?" ”

Lu Cheng said: "Since it is a plan, of course it is selected in advance, otherwise what is it called." Tang Seng is the reincarnation of the golden cicada, an authentic Lingshan disciple. Zhu Bajie is Marshal Tianpeng, who was once a close subordinate of Emperor Ziwei. Emperor Ziwei is the head of the Four Emperors, and now he is the president of the Government Council, and the biggest vested interest in the reform of the Heavenly Court. Monk Sha is the curtain general in front of the gate of the Golden Que Palace, which is equivalent to the guards around the Jade Emperor. There is also a white horse, which is the third prince of the Dragon Palace of the West Sea. ”

"What about Monkey King?"

"Sun Wukong is more complicated, and I don't know the old slave very well. It is rumored that the sacred stone he was born on was the stone of Nuwa to mend the sky. But how that stone appeared in the East China Sea and when it was put on it, there is no way to know. Some say that it fell from heaven and fell there; Some say that Nuwa put it there; It is also said that Emperor Xi put it there; There is also a saying that Taishang put it there. ”

"Which one do you think?" Qi Jufei asked.

Lu Cheng didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "What does the sect leader think?" ”

Qi Hufei said: "I think it's too high. ”

"How so?" Lu Cheng asked.

Qi Hufei thought for a while and said: "Sun Wukong once ate a lot of golden pills in Tushi Palace, and practiced in the gossip furnace for seven hundred and forty-nine days, not only did he not die, but he also practiced fiery eyes and King Kong is not bad. I don't believe that Tushi Palace is so easy to enter, and I don't believe that the furnace that refines the golden hoop rod can't refine him. Even if he can't really refine him, how can Lao Jun not know? I want to put it in and try it, where is this like a saint who opened the world? When Erlang God captured him, Guanyin wanted to make a move, but Lao Jun also prevented her from using the jade bottle, and only smashed him with King Kong, which was a real capture. ”

Lu Cheng looked at Qi Hufei with some strange eyes and asked, "How did the sect leader know about these things?" ”

"Huh?" Qi Hufei scratched his head, "This ...... Shouldn't you know? ”

Lu Cheng said: "The fact that Lao Jun once used a gossip furnace to refine him has spread widely, but he went to Tushi Palace to steal Jindan, how could this kind of thing come out?" and Guanyin made a move, Lao Jun stopped it, I have never heard of this kind of thing. ”

"That...... This ......" Qi Feifei rubbed his nose and said to him, "The purpose of the Jade Emperor is to control the immeasurable merit tablet and become the number one in the Three Realms, can't Sanqing and the Buddha be counted in this matter?" ”
