Chapter 575: The Dispute over the Buddha and the Path (2)

"When the world first opened, there was chaos, two gods were born between heaven and earth, one is the giant Pangu god, and the other is Hongjun Daozu, it is said that the Pangu god used the giant axe in his hand to divide the heaven and the earth into two, and the light one turned into the sky and the turbid one turned into the earth, and the Pangu god was worried that the heaven and the earth would be reunited, so he turned himself into the sun, moon and stars, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas with great magical powers, and gave birth to all creatures such as birds and beasts. Later, there are Hongjun Dao Ancestor point to transform the soul into many powerful people, in order to facilitate the management of Dao Ancestor Hongjun set up the position of the saint, and successively became a saint is Lao Tzu, Yuan Shi Tianzun, Tongtian, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhun Ti six saints. Because Nuwa was sanctified by merits such as mending the heavens and creating people, and later the human religion began to rise from the leadership of Lao Tzu, and the witch and demon clans gradually withdrew from the stage after the battle of the deer, some became the gods of the heavenly court, some worshiped under the saints to cultivate, and some occupied the mountains as kings, and the huge land became the cradle of mankind. These are all things that Zhou Yu has known from books or genres before, and it is impossible to consider whether it is true, but since it can be handed down to this day, there is some credible basis.

During the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, human beings were fully developed, and they defeated the harsh nature with their wisdom and expelled the ferocious beasts into the mountains, but they did not believe in other gods at all except for the fear of heaven and earth and Nuwa, in order to compete for luck and human incense, weaken the majesty of heaven and earth and Nuwa, the six saints sat together for a meeting, saying that the catastrophe of heaven and earth is coming, and some people must be sacrificed as cannon fodder, and there is now that the emperor of the world is faint and blasphemed Nuwa Niangniang, and so on to find a lot of excuses, At that time, Lao Tzu taught the work of education on behalf of people, and there was also the exposition of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, and the interception of the sect of Tongtian jointly signed the list of gods, saying that it was to send people who were not deeply blessed to the list. The list of gods is actually to weaken the strength of the sect and send them to Heavenly Court for slavery, to put it mildly, it is three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods, and it is not good to say that their life and death are between the thoughts of Heavenly Court. The remaining saints Nuwa Niangniang, Jieyin, and Zhun Ti have no disciples and have no right to speak at all, because there are many mountain spirits and monsters under the sect of Tongtian, they are all inextricably linked with the Shang Dynasty, and the competition for incense and luck is carried out between the three religions of human teaching, expounding teaching, and intercepting teaching.

In the battle of the gods, the sect was taught by Shen Gongbao on the one side, and Jiang Ziya on the expounding sect on the one side, around the two of them, all the gods and monsters came out of the battle method, what ten unique arrays, ten thousand immortal arrays and the heavenly Zhuxian array, it was originally a competition between disciples, and finally Yuan Shi Tianzun personally rode the Nine Dragons Agarwood Wheel with Seven Treasures and Jade Ruyi to send his nephews to the god list one by one and turned into ashes. The Zhuxian Sword Array is the first battle in the world, Tongtian with one enemy and four will not fall behind, where do you know that the neutral Nuwa Niangniang smashed Tongtian's shoulder with a hydrangea, just such a Zhuxian array was broken by Lao Tzu, Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lead, Zhun Ti, if the story is finished here, there will be a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.

After saying that after the gods, the introduction and Zhun Ti took the opportunity to transform the Fuxian Zhenren and Manjushri Zhenren to explain the teachings of three of the twelve golden immortals to Western Buddhism, not only the first person under the Yuan Shi Tianzun who expounded the teachings also became the ancient Buddha of the lamp, but also the great disciples of the sect of the sect, Duobao Daoren, also became the Duobao Rulai of Western Buddhism, that is, the so-called Great Day Buddha, the remaining disciples of the sect have become the mounts of the teachings and Buddhist disciples in addition to becoming the righteous gods of the heavenly court, but Tongtian loses is lost, even if the loss is not so willing! In this way, the power of human religion and exposition of religion has also been greatly weakened, and there are two saints on both sides of Buddhism and Taoism, and they can only focus on the emperor's preferences in the world when they are evenly matched.

However, Buddhism has always been at a disadvantage, until the time of Qin Shi Huang, when Buddhism was more oppressed and there was no place to live, the Taoist Xu Fu took 500 boys and girls to Penglai Immortal Island in the east to seek the elixir of life for Qin Shi Huang. There are also the armies of the Great Qin stationed on the Great Wall and in the south to resist the Xiongnu and the Southern Barbarians, taking advantage of this juncture, Buddhism secretly attacked, provoked civil strife, captured Xianyang, and destroyed the Qin Dynasty. At that time, although the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism was fierce, but they were dressed as Taoist priests, and they couldn't tell who was who, Zhang Liang finally helped Liu Bang win the world, but Liu Bang and his wife Lu Pheasant were not willing to be controlled by others, so they secretly began to clean up, and Zhang Liang avoided leaving early after hearing the news.

Until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also addicted to the art of Huang Lao, Taoism has always been regarded as the state religion of the Han Dynasty, many people also think that Taoist Taoists are hair buns and robes, Buddhism in order to distinguish from Taoism began to shave their heads and leave a stammer, the same routine is vegetarian practice, but Taoism and Buddhism are a little different, Taoism is to make people tend to be auspicious and avoid evil and ask God to bless, Buddhism is to let people accumulate virtue in this life and have a good home in the next life. In contrast, the painting cake of Buddhism is much larger than Taoism, until later the elixir of Taoism refining is becoming more and more ineffective, basically it is a lie, gradually the emperors also lost confidence in Taoism, Buddhism began to grow, to the Eastern Han Dynasty Emperor Ming Emperor period, he dreamed one day that there was a monk to point him, in order to seek the true Buddha he sent a messenger out of the Western Regions, the White Horse Temple became the first symbolic temple of Buddhism, there was a good start Buddhism began to fight against Taoism, By the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Taoism was basically used to fool the people in addition to the normal Taoist temples, and the incense had gradually sunset. Otherwise, there would not be Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao and Zhang Lu Wudou Rice Dao, but they are different from the Dao of Longhu Mountain, Maoshan Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, etc., but the purpose is the same, that is, to vote for the emperor's preference to strengthen the strength of the Daomen.

"The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has lasted for thousands of years since the beginning of the god list, do the two belong to the human religion or the branch of the expounding religion?" Zhou Yu spent a lot of spittle, and Xingzi finally drew the ins and outs of this Buddhist and Taoist dispute.

However, these words were undoubtedly a bolt from the blue in the ears of Nanhua and Yu Ji, and they only knew from the records of their teachers that they did not belong to the human religion or to the exposition of the teachings, but to the disciples of the sect. The three religions have been nominally grouped into one religion and are collectively called Taoism or Taoism. Although Nanhua and they have some dealings with other Taoist sects, they are all just face-to-face, and they have not heard the word interception for many years, how can they not be shocked when they say it from the innermost part of Zhou Yu.

The classics handed down in ancient times are relatively jerky, and the current interpretation is also very difficult, Zhou Yu knows so much at such a young age, and the two of them feel that Zhou Yu must have a very powerful master, and their talents make them often fool people, but they don't believe in these the most.

"Dare to ask who Master Zhou is the teacher? Can there be an immortal number? ”
