Chapter 81 Heaven and man are separated, the avenue of merit is fixed, and the pearls of the sea fall
Sure enough, the people on and off the stage of Baiyutai, seeing the vague statement of the Milky Way Water Master, were all awe-inspiring, and they no longer dared to underestimate the unpredictable Emperor Zimu.
The Jiao Demon King frowned secretly and said secretly: "Strange? It is said that the emperor is low-key, although he is quite favored by the emperor of Donghua, but he does not hold the authority, and among the emperors of the heavenly court, he is very low-key, so this time we chose to start planning from him. ”
"But there's something strange about the situation now......"
"Could it be that Emperor Donghua is finally ready to let this Emperor Zimu establish influence in Heavenly Court? The cultivation of the people next to him is very extraordinary, could it be that they are also the masters sent by Emperor Donghua to assist his son? ”
The old man of the heart demon whispered: "Jiao Demon King...... Just now, I secretly induced the demonic thoughts, and when I was controlling the emperor's heart demon, I was stopped by an inexplicable infection...... I'm afraid the plan has changed! ”
"Impossible, this plan is only known to our Seven Great Sages, and it will definitely not be leaked out, even you just learned about it...... Demon old man, if there is a problem, the possibility of a problem on your side is the greatest! ”
The old man of the heart demon sneered: "My old man of the heart demon spit a nail in one mouthful, what he promised you, he will not regret it!" ”
But he also had some doubts in his heart: "Why are you blocking my demonic powers...... It seems to be the handiwork of our fellow masters of the Demon Gate? Could it be that the ancestor still has other plans? ”
But the old man of the heart demon did not say his guess, he said in a low voice: "Although there are many methods that can subdue the heart demon, whether it is the meditation kung fu of Buddhism, or the merit method of your heavenly court, or the method of subduing demons in Xuanmen, it is not easy to do such a silent and colorless thing. ”
"How can there be no hometown and too illusory realm?" The Jiao Demon King frowned and said: "Nanhua Zhenren and Bajing Daojun have always been at ease, and it is right and wrong not to get involved in the flood and famine, why would they help that emperor Zimu?" ”
Those of them who knew the inside story were not surprised by the background of Emperor Zimu.
But the heavenly court rules the world, the heavens and the people are separated, since the emperor of heaven, the internal situation of the heavenly court is more and more cloudy for the ruled beings, and it is not clear to see, although the living beings do not know anything about the heavenly court, but they also know very little, the rules of heaven and heaven, for the immortals who have been canonized, it is naturally like the golden book and jade book, the iron scroll Danshu, but for all sentient beings, the heavenly rule is a kind of unspeakable, difficult to understand taboo, I don't know how many demon clans, in a daze, died under the curse of heaven.
Although the Emperor of Heaven is harsh on the demon clan, he has a saying - demons are not taught and cannot be punished!
The Emperor of Heaven once engraved the Heavenly Article in the Great Dao, and the demon spirit who opened the spiritual wisdom would naturally know the Heavenly Rule, so although all the demons had many calamities, they all received the strict Heavenly Strip restrictions after the spiritual wisdom was opened, and only then did they have the heavenly thunder and heavenly fire, and the heart demon Yin Feng. And the merit method was established by the Emperor of Heaven as the foundation of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
The five elements, five virtues, five tribulations and five fortunes are reincarnated, and everyone in the world knows how to practice merits, follow the heart of heaven, and be free from calamities.
It is the so-called merit Xuan, Fu Huang, moral purity, holy virtue white, Yin virtue red, five virtues reincarnation, and educating sentient beings.
Since the Emperor of Heaven joined the Dao, the Heavenly Court changed the law, the law of heavenly merit has become more and more secret, and now it is even less known, which is also a major move of the Eastern Prince's reform to weaken the foundation of the merit law...... Once the Heavenly Decree is clear, it will cause sentient beings to lose their reverence for the Dharma.
will try their best to exploit the loopholes of the sky.
Therefore, it should be made that the heavenly strip is like thunder, hanging high on the top of sentient beings, and the divine power is unpredictable, so that all sentient beings will revere the heavenly strip as if they worship the thunder. How can providence be known...... The will of heaven that is known by others is not only difficult to deter evil spirits, but also cannot make sentient beings fearful. Some people oppose the former law of the Emperor of Heaven, believing that punishment without teaching will cause sentient beings to question the fairness of the Heavenly Rules.
However, the prince of the east did not laugh angrily, so he tried his method a little.
As a result, compared with the unpredictable providence of heaven, sentient beings are more willing to believe in the invisible and untouchable heavenly rules, and the unfathomable heavenly will is in awe, but it is the clear heavenly rules, but they are often questioned and pointed fingers.
So the gods obeyed, and from then on, the heavens implemented the two methods of light and dark, and the immortals and gods were ...... Any ghost or god who has been canonized in the Heavenly Court and has rights and responsibilities must understand the laws of the Heavenly Court, and even below, all sentient beings who are not in the Heavenly Court system are not allowed to spy on the Heavenly Rules, and the will of Heaven is unfathomable to them.
The reform of the Eastern Princes reversed the tradition of letting sentient beings know the law when the Emperor of Heaven was in power.
The operation of the Dharma is divided into two levels...... Those who enforce the law know the law, but the sentient beings are ignorant.
In this way, the authority of the ghosts and gods, which was bound during the period of the Emperor of Heaven, lost its restraints and began to expand, so it was affirmed by the immortals and became the first move of the Eastern Princes to officially change the law.
The Emperor of Heaven designed the system of Heavenly Court to rule the world, and from this point on, it was torn open.
At that time, the Emperor of Heaven promoted ghosts and gods with the merit method, guided sentient beings, punished demons and evil with heavenly rules, restrained ghosts and gods, merit laws and heavenly rules with one reward and one punishment, and established a system of rewards and punishments for ghosts and gods and sentient beings. Discipline for ghosts and gods, and Dharma for sentient beings. The ghosts and gods are used as the enforcers and power systems of the heavenly court to run the law, but at the same time, the ghosts and gods are supervised by sentient beings.
Now that the Eastern Princes have abolished the lessons of the Heavenly Emperor's Ming Law, it is equivalent to cutting off the chains of supervising ghosts and gods, and invisibly expanding the authority of ghosts and gods, which is naturally welcomed by the divine power of the Heavenly Court.
After taking action against Tiantiao, the prince of the East was even more indulged by Emperor Zhuan and once again took action on the merit method.
Therefore, the merit law is gradually less known in the flood wilderness, and the monks all know that merit is the supreme divine object, and the merit is added to the divine light, and it can prove the positive result, and ask the heavenly court for canonization, which can improve the Tao, deepen the understanding of the Great Dao, and even improve the mana.
It can refine magic weapons, can be used for cultivation, can improve status, and can be immortal, which can be called a supreme treasure.
Even in the Heavenly Age where Brahman Wuzai is located, there are still the five virtues that remain in the Great Dao of the Universe's Foundation, and any one of the five virtues is a cultivation material that surpasses any heavenly material and earth treasure.
After this series of reforms of the Eastern Prince, the merit method has now become a kind of cultivation avenue, which has been secretly passed down by many great religions and even powerful disciples, how to cultivate merit, except for a vague description of doing good deeds and accumulating merits, there is no clear statement, and some great powers can still use the hidden merit avenue to calculate the location of a part of the merit and let the disciples go to collect it.
But the true avenue of merit is no longer cultivated.
All schools and religions are stuffing private goods into the path of merit set up by the Emperor of Heaven, and infiltrating their own morality and ethics into the concept of the Emperor of Heaven setting up a heart and a life for all sentient beings.
When the Emperor of Heaven legislates, he advocated and rewarded those who maintained the rule of Heaven and helped the operation of the law with a clear scale.
However, after the change, the aura of Xuanhuang's merits gradually became difficult for people to witness, and even if many people had merits, they did not know where they came from or how to cultivate. Either relying on the power to calculate the various disharmony and contradictions accumulated in the operation of heaven and earth, and the many causes and effects of the entanglement of sentient beings, and the operation of heaven and earth is not initiated, then calamities will fall, so that the natural disasters will be suppressed, the calamities will be eliminated, and the merit will be obtained immediately, and the entanglement of cause and effect of sentient beings will often lead to calamities.
The power of interpretation and the concept of the Dharma of Merit are in the hands of the Great Power.
The path opened up by the Emperor of Heaven for sentient beings was gradually monopolized by the powerful until Buddhism supported the underworld, and the king of Jizo went to hell, eroding the Yin Virtue Law with karma, and the five virtues collapsed. Xuanmen Buddhism took this opportunity to intervene in the reincarnation of the underworld.
When the Emperor of Heaven expelled Hou Tu Niangniang, and replaced Hou Tu with the Yin Virtue Law for the reincarnation, it was the first time to interfere with reincarnation, although the order of the Heavenly Dao of reincarnation was destroyed, but the Emperor of Heaven legislated and was fair, although the nature of interfering in reincarnation was bad, but the actual situation was not serious, and the situation that reincarnation was distorted by the cause and effect of all beings can still be controlled.
It wasn't until later that the Yin Virtue Law was broken, and the king of Jizo entered the underworld, and the second intervention in reincarnation was very rude, and the various religions interfered in reincarnation things in a big way, replacing their own ethical and moral concepts with heavenly inaction.
The concept of the Heavenly Dao Law of reincarnation in the latter soil is simple and straightforward, the Heavenly Way is natural, people die like a lamp going out, and reincarnation has nothing to do with the previous life, just like ashes, and the next life is not a continuation of the previous life.
The Yin Virtue Law established by the Emperor of Heaven has good and evil to bear, but it does not continue to the next life.
Yin virtue does not enter the reincarnation, borne by the descendants, the descendants can accumulate virtue for the ancestors, the ancestors can also accumulate blessings for the descendants, the practitioner of yin virtue dies and turns into a yin spirit, temporarily enters the underworld, is the yin god, while performing the priesthood of the underworld, it can also accept the yin virtue cultivated by the descendants, and when the conditions are right, it can turn into a yang god and ascend to heaven.
This is based on the Shinto law established by Houtu that year, and the agreement between gods and ghosts, although it destroyed the heavenly law of reincarnation established by Houtu, but the merit does not enter the afterlife, does not interfere with reincarnation, even if the yin virtue is cultivated more, it can only go to heaven as a god, and cannot interfere with reincarnation, interfere with the choice of reincarnation in the next life.
Therefore, the cause and effect accumulated by sentient beings will not be carried over to the next life because of samsara.
Until Buddhism and Xuanmen interfered with the underworld, the karmic retribution law eroded the yin virtue law, interfered with reincarnation in the name of good and evil, and nominally liquidated the good and evil of cause and effect, but in fact, in the name of the so-called reincarnation of karma and the accumulation of merits in successive lives, the cause and effect of the previous life and the next life were entangled, so that it continued to snowball down, and reincarnation was gradually infected.
In this way, reincarnation is poisonous. That's why Houtu, Emperor Wa, Styx and others planned to destroy the underworld and liquidate the erosion of reincarnation by the Xuanmen Buddhism, so a dry Yin God, the underworld Yama, and even the great supernatural powers of Buddhism, the Dizo King Bodhisattva sitting on the lotus platform were all robbed, setting off a catastrophe no less than the heavenly court, resulting in the collapse of the netherworld, and the reincarnation can only be hidden to the ruins.
The destruction of the Heavenly Court actually began when the laws of Heaven were hidden, and began with the isolation of heaven and man.
But if today's isolation of people is still the basic policy of Emperor Zhuan's rule of the world, all sentient beings are not clear about the merits of the Heavenly Order, which are originally fair and open, not to mention the power struggle in the Heavenly Court, which is already full of shadows and shadows, and is difficult for outsiders to know?
The vast number of beings under the white jade stage, the monks and immortals, saw that the emperor and the emperor Bojun were fighting against each other, although the momentum was slightly weaker, but the great powers who supported the emperor seemed to have a higher status and more powerful, and they immediately turned their heads to each other and whispered: "Another emperor ......"
"This emperor is so domineering, he doesn't even give the face of the emperor Bojun!"
"It is said that he is the son of Emperor Donghua, Emperor Donghua is the vice monarch of the Heavenly Court, and his status is still above that of Emperor Ziyang, of course, no one needs to give face!" Yuan Yu fanned the flames in the crowd with an incarnation.
"Emperor Zimu is too domineering!"
"No wonder that strong man from the future dared to kill in front of Emperor Bojun, it turned out that he had this big backer!"
"Emperor Zimu is strong and domineering, I'm afraid that in the heavenly court, his status is higher than that of Emperor Bojun!"
"Emperor Donghua? It is said that the Eastern Princes were demoted and Zifuzhou collapsed, all of which were related to Emperor Donghua! He is the number one powerful minister in front of Emperor Zhuan, and his power in the heavenly court is amazing. ”
"It's actually the son of the emperor who suppressed the prince of the east, no wonder he is so arrogant and domineering...... Not! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, don't you want to die? When the time comes, you will be recorded in the book of life and death, and the book of heaven will cut your luck and make your death unclear...... How can we slander such power? ”
The power on the white jade platform, which one is not amazing, even if he is dazzled and deaf, his mind is swept away, what is being said below, he naturally knows what he is talking about, and there is a faint look of annoyance in the eyes of Emperor Bojun, what do those foolish people know? When he was in Heavenly Court, a mere shepherd boy was walking with his tail between his legs in front of him?
Shepherd boy Jun this life is weak, the will is not firm, it is very easy to be shaken by others, this weak personality, so that he is filial, gentle at the same time, can not bear the ambition, so although his father Donghua Emperor Jun doted on him, but did not give him any power, just raised by his side, favored young son.
And since he was a child, he was resolute and ambitious, or ambitious, and was cultivated and valued by his father early.
The two could not have compared...... But the shepherd boy didn't know what he was confused about, and his heart was demonic! suddenly stood up and made the emperor look ugly......
Emperor Bojun signaled to Zhang Jiao: It's time for you to submit your name!
Zhang Jiao received the emperor's Bojun's eyes, his face was still calm, and he stood up and said: "Taiping Dao Zhang Jiao, I have seen Emperor Mu, Huang Gong is a loyal elder, virtuous and famous, just because of a gaffe, he was so humiliated by the emperor's subordinates, it is a little too much!" ”
Yuan Yu stepped forward and said lightly: "You are Zhang Jiao of Taiping Dao?" ”
"His Royal Highness Mu is kind-hearted and has always been kind to others, but this person is bold and reckless, and he has some cultivation strength, so he dares to despise the heavenly court, despise the laws of heaven, have no respect and humility, and do not know the height of the sky...... How can there be a small punishment? ”
"Zhang Jiao, if you know the general situation, you will break with this person to show your heart of respecting the heavens and following the law."
"Now you jump out to fight for this person, but you are dissatisfied with the heavenly court, and you have the heart to be arrogant and law-related?"
Zhang Jiao's nine-section scepter was put in his hand, and he said lightly: "I'm talking to Emperor Zimu, what is the grade of your slave in Heavenly Court?" A person with no grade, no rank, no identity, would dare to talk to me like this! It can be seen that Emperor Mu, how do you look down on the world's talents, a domestic slave, and you despise the world's talents so much...... Have you forgotten the teachings of the Eastern Prince? ”
"His majesty is so lax, it seems that the emperor is very short of tutors!"
"I'll teach you a lesson to this slave......"
He gently lifted the nine-knot staff, and the nine-fold heavenly realm appeared on the nine-section scepter, and there were countless gods in each heavenly realm, and the nine-knotted staff turned into a huge heavenly pillar supporting the nine-fold heaven, wrapped in that infinite power, and hit towards Yuan Yu.
Emperor Zimu was shocked: "It's not good...... The jade talisman that my father gave me to save my life trembled...... My father said that if there is a difference in the jade talisman, then the enemy must not be something I can deal with, and I should quickly crush the jade talisman and escape. Zhang Jiao is so powerful, holding an innate spirit treasure that can almost threaten my life...... But this time he has to deal with Brother Zhengyang. ”
"I can't stop it either...... Brother Zhengyang is in danger! ”
Emperor Zimu gritted his teeth, desperately embarrassed, and suddenly set off, intending to take this blow for Yuanyu.
Yuan Yu sneered in his heart: "I finally tempted you to make a move!" Let me see, who is the person behind you? The Nine Emperors of the First Century, who wants to overthrow the Heavenly Court, Brother Zhao Gongming reminded me that there are people in the Xuanmen who are trying to use the Origin as the sole ruler and return to the era when the First Heavenly King ruled everything...... I thought it was the old department of Mr. Yuanshi, who was not willing to be lonely. ”
"Now it seems that someone wants to use the name of Teacher Yuan Shi to fulfill his own emperor!"
"Whether I, Yuanyu, am a disciple of the Xuanmen Sect or the deputy sect leader of the Demon Sect, I will not allow such a careerist to succeed!"
Yuan Yu was about to show a little bit of Da Luo's bottom, but as soon as he made a move, he felt a chaotic color Xuanzhu with a five-colored light, like a heavenly world, fall into his arms silently. Yuan Yu just touched his flesh and skin, and was suddenly shocked: "Senior brother! His heart shook inexplicably, and what fell into his hands was one of the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Beads.
Yuan Yu's heart flashed: "Is it Senior Brother Zhao Gongming, or Styx Ancestor?" ”
Or ...... Lighting ......"
"Senior brother, please make a move...... Yuan Yu bowed to the front, and the Dinghai Pearl in his arms jumped out with a five-colored light, like a five-colored day, Yuan Yu sacrificed the divine pearl, just slightly attracted its power, and transformed into a huge world of heavens, in which there was a clear light and white light, and countless fairy lights of various colors, which made people unable to look directly.
As soon as the five-colored light shone, it shattered the ninefold world of the nine-section scepter.
Then he fell down, and he knocked down the nine staffs......
Zhang Jiao only felt that there was a vigorous force coming from the Nine Sections Staff, which was extremely heavy, breaking all changes, whether it was the divine power of the Nine Degrees of the Great Dao, or the innate spirit treasure essence of the Nine Sections Staff, it was unbearable to bear such a huge weight, and that force suppressed all the changes, and went straight to the ground, so that Zhang Jiao could not deal with it, and could only bear it straight.
It was like a world smashed down, heavier than the water of the four seas, Zhang Jiao's face was white when he was smashed, and he almost avoided his breath.
Even the five elements gods condensed in his chest were smashed and scattered, almost smashing all the five qi in his chest.
Zhang Jiao stumbled under his feet and almost fell to the ground...... Even though he managed to maintain his figure, the nine-section staff in his hand inevitably slipped...... The innate spirit treasure transformed by the emperor in the hall was knocked into the dust for the second time today. Zhang Jiao's hair was scattered, and his robe was messy from the impact of the aura that had dispersed from his body, and he staggered under his feet, and took one step back, two steps, three steps, before he could barely stand still.
Five deep into the jade platform were left on the white jade platform, shattering a piece of forbidden footprints.
Seeing the five-colored divine bead falling, Emperor Bojun was shocked and said, "Dinghai Pearl! ”
"First the four swords of the immortals, and then the Dinghai Divine Pearl, could it really be that the Great Heavenly Venerable is dissatisfied?" Emperor Bojun couldn't help but turn pale, and Zhang Jiao was even more panicked in his heart.
