It's easy to say, if Jiang Duyun wants to inherit the formation, there are still a lot of things.

Zhuque Street was once the central axis of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. It is more than 150 meters wide. Walking south along Suzaku Street, there is a place called Myeongdeokmon. Although this place is only one place today, Mingde Gate is the main gate of the central axis of Chang'an City, and it is said that it was once the largest gate in the world.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were two alleys in Chang'an City. For the people of the Western Regions to learn Chinese and scriptures. Today, there is a large Hui settlement area within the city wall of Xi'an, which is centered on this big learning alley and spreads out to the surrounding areas. The source is that people from the Western Regions learned Chinese here more than 1,300 years ago.

During the Tang Dynasty, Kyoto moved directly from Chang'an to Chang'an City's urban planning. The city of Kyoto was then divided into two. The left side is called Chang'an, and the right side is called Luoyang. Later, due to the relatively low terrain of Chang'an, it often accumulated water. Slowly fell into disrepair, and the piece was abandoned. As a result, Kyoto only left the name of Raku.

The construction of the capital city is a major event of the country, the so-called "the foundation of the Dingding is eternal, and the infinite industry is in Si", which is related to the consolidation and development of the country, and is affected by the multiple influences of politics, economy, military and culture, and also affects the development of the capital in many aspects.

Therefore, there must always be some principles and methods in the layout of buildings, especially in Datang, spiritual belief occupies a very important position in people's daily life, and the ideal realm of heaven and man induction and the unity of heaven and man is pursued. The layout of cities is often given some symbolic meaning, and the planning and layout of the Sui and Tang capitals still cannot escape this trap. Judging from the layout of the capital, the so-called "building a state and setting up a capital, must be a mystery" Xiangtian thought has been given greater play and elaboration here.

Spring City is full of flying flowers, and the cold food east wind and willow slope. Candles were passed in the Han Palace at dusk, and light smoke dispersed into the house of the five marquis. Chang'an Avenue is even narrow and sloping, and the green cow and white horse are seven incense cars. In the past, in Chang'an, he was drunk with flowers and willows, and the five marquis and seven nobles had the same glass of wine.

The poems about Chang'an City seem to be endless in a lifetime.

"Chang'an City, a big country in Shaanxi, is the place where the emperors of the past dynasties built their capitals. Since the Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties, the three states are full of flowers, and the eight rivers flow around the city. Thirty-six flower willow alleys, seventy-two orchestra buildings. Looking at the Huayi map, it is the best in the world, and it is really a miracle party. ”

If you look down at the land of Xi'an from the air, you can see that the shape of this ground is very similar to the six lines of the Qiangua in the Book of Changes. The Qiangua belongs to yang, called nine, from top to bottom, it is called Shangjiu, ninety-five, ninety-four, ninety-three, ninety-two, and the first nine.

The six mounds that cross the ground of Xi'an, from the height point of view, the terrain is lowered from south to north, the highest one is placed in the palace on the nine, which is the place where the emperor lives; the slightly lower second nine five yao, nine five noble, is not a mortal place to live, so build a temple here, repair the Xuandu Temple, Xingshan Temple, etc., let the gods and Bodhisattvas live.

The lower third article, the 94th line, is not engaged in construction because it is a yin position; the lower fourth article is the 93rd line, where 100 divisions are set up, and is the place where the central departments work; the lower fifth article, which is the 92nd line, is a yin land, which is not suitable for building a yang house; and the lowest article, which is the first 93 line, is the place where the people live.

This design makes the ruling body office

On the commanding heights of the whole city, the palace and the yamen of the hundred officials occupy the high ground, showing that the ruler is high, dominates the world, and is powerful and majestic. From the perspective of security, it is also relatively reliable, and it is in the position of monitoring the lower class people, which is beneficial to the ruler. It is also the best in terms of geographical environment, the terrain is high, dry, and not easy to get sick.

The floor plan of Chang'an City is square, three doors are opened on each side, the palace city is in the center, there is a temple on the left in front of the palace, and there is a society on the right, etc., all of which are the regulations of the royal city listed on the "Zhou Li Examination Record". In the layout, the palace is placed at the north end of the north-south central axis, and the north-south central axis from the Chengtian Gate to the Mingde Gate - Suzaku Street is the manifestation of the heavenly axis, the main gate of the palace is called the Chengtian Gate, and the wide east-west street in front of the gate is the middle boundary of the heavenly realm and the earthly boundary, from which to the north is the heavenly palace, and from this to the south is the earthly world.

Therefore, Chang'an can be described as "the spine of the world, the first dragon of the Central Plains", and "the capital of Guanzhong since ancient times". There is a poem that once praised: "The capital city is really a big country, the eight rivers flow around the four mountains, how many emperors are here, and the world said Chang'an in ancient times." ”

Jiang Duyun stayed here, preparing for the handover ceremony of the next formation.

--------

In the Demon Suppression Tower, a burly old man with white hair and a scholar came to a certain room.

The scholar was Xu Wanfeng, he looked dignified, and walked in at the urging of the old man. The burly old man is his uncle, the giant of the Demon Dao, Lu Chengqin. He waited outside and did not enter the room.

The room was very quiet, there was only one person, suspended in the air. A corpse, to be exact.

Xu Wanfeng walked over with a calm face, he had never seen this corpse, but he knew that it was the former and current demon dao boss and his master, Yue Song. The former owner of the Demon Cave, Liu Guanshan's friend.

Don't sword qi galaxy, and the demon Dao's own people besieged, dying here, the corpse has not moved.

When Xu Wanfeng watched the romance before, he felt that no matter how different the plot was, there was one routine that always remained the same, that is, the dispute between the righteous path and the demonic path, whether it was cultivating immortals or becoming a Buddha, the biggest opponent was the demon. In fact, the same is true of Buddhism and Taoism in reality.

In the mythological system of Buddhism and Taoism, the demon also occupies an important part, is the biggest obstacle and opponent in the practice, we know that Buddhism has Buddha, Taoism has Taoism, they are almost all the supreme existence in their respective mythological systems, why Buddha, Taoist ancestors are so powerful, but they can't destroy the demons?

The reason why Buddhism and Taoism are said together is because Buddhism and Taoism have many similarities in their concepts of demons, and the demons mentioned by Buddhism and Taoism are very complex, and they do not simply refer to all demons, demons, and evil forces.

In Buddhist theory, demons generally refer to all obstacles that hinder cultivation, and this demon can probably be divided into two kinds, one is the demon derived from the emotions and desires in the human heart, which belongs to a person's own troubles, and the other is the real demon who survives on the sixth day of desire.

In the Buddhist system, the three worlds are divided into the world of desire, the world of color, and the world of colorlessness, of which the world of desire has six days, and the sixth is the heaven of his incarnation

head, and even forced the Buddha to nirvana.

Separately, the demon in the heart of the person is the two sides of one person, no matter how great the Buddha's ability is, it is impossible to destroy the demon in the heart, if the demon is directly destroyed, it is equivalent to destroying all sentient beings, obviously the Buddha is impossible to do this, can only guide sentient beings to investigate by themselves.

So why can't the Buddha directly destroy the great devil Bo Xun? Bo Xun is a celestial being, and he is also one of the sentient beings in the Three Realms, and the Buddha Pudu sentient beings, naturally including Bo Xun, if he is directly eliminated, it proves that the Buddha also has people who can't save him, so what kind of Buddha is it? Therefore, we can only use the method of Huairou.

Therefore, the final outcome of Bo Xun can only be that the blessings are exhausted, and he will eventually be influenced by the Buddha to become a Buddha, which is also said in the Buddhist scriptures. The so-called putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot, and undergoing the test of demons, is also the way to become a Buddha. Therefore, although the Buddha has great powers, he cannot directly destroy all demons.

In the Taoist mythological system, there are immortal emperors and demon emperors, the immortal emperor blesses and educates, and the demon emperor guards and punishes, which is the manifestation of the two sides of the avenue yin and yang, that is to say, from the root, the immortal and the demon are one.

Of course, there are many kinds of demons in the Daomen, and not all of them have the realm of the Demon Emperor, so why can't this ordinary demon be destroyed? Therefore, it is allowed to make the people feel true, and to punish the non-service to be an examiner, so it will not destroy its roots.

It probably means that Taoism believes that the biggest role of demons is the tempering of people, and the test of demons itself is a kind of practice, just like the invigilator, only after passing the exam can he become an immortal, so Daozu will not destroy all demons.

In general, Buddhism and Taoism have very consistent views on the role of demons, and basically recognize the meaning of the existence of demons, which are the two sides of the Great Dao, and the training and tests that must be passed through by cultivation, so no matter the Buddha and the Taoist Ancestors, they will not destroy all demons, which is also a kind of wisdom of religion.

What is a demon?

Under the vigorous promotion of Buddhist scriptures, the concept of "demon" is very different from the culture of the Tao. The translation of "Zhengzitong" says: "Demons, ancient grinding from stone." Emperor Wu of Liang followed the ghost. "Grinding originally had the meaning of tempering and trial, and changing stones into ghosts became powerful evil ghosts.

This is different from the meaning of my Taoist scriptures. As far as Taoism is concerned, after the Yuan Shi Tianzun Long Han Kaitur ruled the Three Realms, countless natural gods and spirits ascended to the truth through cultivation. The immortal emperor of the manifest is the chief priest who blesses and educates.

Yu Hermit is the Demon Emperor, the main division of protection and punishment. This is in line with my saying of the two rites. The Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor are both under the command of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, and the Demon Emperor Yan Zhen is above Beiyu, and this place is also where the "Thunder City" is located.

The Demon Emperor is represented by the Five Great Demon Emperors. "Lingbao Immeasurable Human Superior Wonderful Sutra" Volume 1: "Qingtian Demon King, Ba Yuan Choubo." The Red Sky Demon King, the Negative Sky Burden Stone. The demon king in the daytime, the six eyes of the mountain. The Black Sky Demon King, the prison ugly Lang Fu. The Yellow Sky Demon King, the horizontal sky. The Great Demon of the Five Emperors, the Sect of the Gods. Flying drums from, the general leader of the ghost soldiers. Drum Festival, sightseeing in space. Self-proclaimed Heyi, all the heavens work together. Heaven is a person, and the north is strict. ”

This can be seen

Its godhead is the same as that of the Immortal Emperor, and it can reach the realm of the heavens.

"Shangqing Hidden Book" Yuqing Shenxiao Wang said: "All ghosts and demons will change all ways, or sink or float, or see or die, or gather or hide, or hide or form, or qi or death or life, or fly in the clouds or cure the hollow, the five-color trance has no permanent form, so they all inherit the luck of six days, and they will be met in three days, so they can be unbridled and ugly." In the future, the people are not pure, and the evil and rebellion are promoted, so they are allowed to threaten the people to make the truth, and to punish the non-service to be the examiner, so they will not destroy their roots. If the end of the fortune is lost, its anger will disappear, and the people's will will naturally become immortals. ”

From this, it can be seen that when the Immortal Emperor set up a teaching without measuring people, the Demon Emperor and the four went out to hunt for evil spirits to defend the Hou Xue, and the test and trial of flying in the air can make the Hou Xue know the geometry of the virtue of being quiet and quiet.

The Taoist classics divide the demons into ten categories, "Lingbao Immeasurable People on the Great Law" volume 45: "The practitioner of the Tao first understands the law of control, and its demons have ten, so they are in the article." Scholars build it deeply, don't be tried by the devil, it is not difficult to succeed. One is called the Heavenly Demon, the second is the Earth Demon, the third is the Human Demon, the fourth is the Demon Demon, the fifth is the God Demon, the sixth is the Yang Demon, the seventh is the Yin Demon, the eighth is the Disease Demon, the ninth is the Demon, and the tenth is the Realm Demon. ”

Only the Heavenly Demons of these Ten Demons were tested by the Immortal Emperor, not by wild ghosts or evil demons, and the remaining nine must be dealt with carefully. There are mentions in the scriptures such as tips, seals, mantras, and so on, and it is inconvenient to mention them here.

For the Heavenly Demons, it can be said that it is "like an image". It is mentioned in "Sitting and Forgetting the Pivot": "If you think about it." How much do you feel evil. Hundred charms appear at will. A real man. Strange and weird. It's auspicious. "Since the body is upright and the heart is silent, the heart is always quiet to Fu Dao Yuan, when you know that the air is invisible, and the tangible is the end of the Tao.

If you see illusion and illusion, if the wind blows away and does not catch it, the disillusionment will prove the "Shangjing Dafa": "Its demon retreats from itself, and changes his god into the Yuan Shi Tianzun." This point is true, and the author of the actual experience of the ordinary thoughts, when you know that the name of the too void is invisible, the wonder of the air is a Qi, and the beginning of the beginning is the eternal truth. After the trial of this Heavenly Demon Annihilation, it can be regarded as "the first time to enter the Xuanmen".

For the earth demon, it can be said that "insufficient cultivation" is the result. Bu Gang changed a spirit, and then when he held the law calligraphy, he had unhealthy thoughts, and he sensed his evil thoughts and blocked the operation of his mystical law, so that his law was not effective.

This is all caused by the fact that the person who holds the practice of refining the law does not revise the precepts and does not obey the precepts on weekdays, and the matter of the central internal refining is unknown to others. Taking advantage of the wrong thoughts to confuse their minds even more, in order to show that they are in a hurry to break their minds. If the warning is not awakened, the demons will inevitably turn their hearts, and in the future, they will be ruined and ruined, and there is really no hope of becoming a leader.

The saying of humans and demons can be described as "unbroken fate". There are many people who have learned the Tao and cultivated the truth at this point, so they should pay more attention. Those who learn the Tao should live in simplicity, and the people they make are just friends with clouds.

If there is no entertainment, how can there be nuns and vulgar people noisy Taoist altar, if you refuse to drink and eat invitations, how can there be fishy things, filthy and smelly rooms, if you are reluctant to ascend to the altar of teachers and monks, how can there be chickens and dogs, if there is no show of virtue, how can there be chickens and dogs,

Pregnant women are constantly hearing about it. Such a noisy all day long must not be at peace of mind and body, the heart is not far away, the vulgar must be far away, the water should not be ineffective, this is of course, and it is useless to live alone in the mountains.

As for the statement of demons, it can be said that "the law is not specialized". If you are greedy and studious and have no specialization, you will encounter a strong evil ghost entanglement and want to drive it away, but the spell is not pure and summoned, so the practitioner is like a clown who is dedicated to the world, and it is just to provoke evil and frolic in vain.

"Qingwei Dao Law Hub": "If you don't know how to draw a talisman, you will make the ghosts and gods laugh; "The righteous Tiangang is also a qi of divergence, keeping a quiet heart to enter its way, and raising its great luck and law will be spiritual. Having said that, but with a few points of specialization, those who learn the Tao and refine the law must be self-explanatory.

For the gods and demons, it can be said that "the commandments are not strict". In the past, when the Sa Heavenly Master was wandering outside, when the god was not there, the god asked for the temple of obscenity, so he summoned the heavenly thunder to investigate and kill it. Later, the main god returned to see that he was unwilling, so he asked him to receive a whip to follow the heavenly master and hit him if he wanted to serve him for violating the precepts. After 12 years, I did not see any violations of the precepts, so I sincerely admired and asked myself to be the protector of the Heavenly Master. Those who learn the Tao and those who practice the law must take precepts to stop the gods and ghosts, and naturally they dare not disturb each other.

The saying of the yang demon can be said to be "life is not careful", which has been seen in many dynasties. Cultivators should be careful to always be quiet and cultivate righteousness inside, those who are inside are always at peace with those outside, and those who are common are grateful for death and life are the same. If the heart is not finished, the cultivation will be prosperous, the body will be strong, the desire will be great, the vulgar thoughts will be constant, there will be resentment from time to time, and the people will inevitably be worried and troubled if they are not finished. Those who put their lives before sex must work harder on this matter.

For the yin demon, it can be said that "the qi is not pure". Before contemplating, we should know that the qi of the Tao is upright and vast, and the life is endless, so we only take the true anger and do not need to be miscellaneous. And if the cultivator does not take this as a division, he will be at a loss and have no choice in everything, and when he thinks about the cultivation, he will have a bad thought, that is, he will be inspired by the non-material or the thought of the left way, and he will not be extinguished and will inevitably lose the way if he touches the mind for a long time.

Shangzhen has become a real person who is still tried by a fierce demon, not to mention the husband of all who learn. The immortal path is successful, and those who are not subject are all demons in the Nine Heavens, so the demons should try their evil and righteousness first. If you get the devil and you will ascend to heaven in the daytime, how can you blame the devil.

Whoever holds the insight will be annoyed by the demons, and then he will retreat. If you see a beautiful concubine, you can't look at it well, most of them are three officials and five emperors, jade boys and girls, and they can check people's merits. There are also changes in the spirit and goodness of the demon army, so it is confusing. Or make a ghost to realize a hundred kinds of magic tests, and the desire to be a great success is not successful. and the relatives are all caused by the devil, and they want to give up.

The demons mentioned by the Daomen are not all evil, but there are good and evil. And the trouble of the inner demon is far more than the disturbance of the external demon, when the heart is pure if the silk demon is not born, the shape of the righteous and evil spirit is terrifying. The principle of eliminating demons is not in the mysteries, but it depends on the individual's daily heart and behavior.

Xu Wanfeng came this time to carry back his master's corpse, and then return to the demon cave to reorganize the drumming.

At this time, Xu Wanfeng used his hands to hold Yue Song's corpse on his back, and then walked out on his back. Outside the door

, There are already dozens of Shushan disciples waiting, and they are waiting for each other, looking at the two demons in front of them.

Xu Wanfeng said: "Get out of the way!"

These people don't let it.

At this time, the voice of the old man deer came: "Let them go." ”

Shushan disciples, just get out of the way.

Xu Wanfeng, carrying Yue Song's corpse, walked outside the Demon Descending Tower. Lu Chengqin followed aside, silent. He's just an Earth Immortal Cultivator, and there's not much he can do. Find Xu Wanfeng and carry Yue Song's corpse.

He felt that he had no regrets in this life.

The Demon Dao has a master, and the Demon Cave also has a master, and his old bones should also be active.

I heard that the two realms of the mountains are poor, and it seems to be very good there.
