Chapter 11: On the Sealing of God
"Some foolish opinions are just speculations, not high opinions, and can even be said to be fallacies. Senior brother, don't beat me up when you hear something upset. Zhao Yi said after sandwiching two chopsticks.
The fat third master seemed very impatient with Zhao Yi, took another sip of wine, and said, "There is something to say, there is a fart, what are you doing with this gossip?" ”
Zhao Yi straightened his face, put down the dishes and chopsticks, raised his head and made a mockery at the ceiling, and said, "Later generations infer in vain, Daozu should not blame!" ”
Seeing Zhao Yi so solemn, the fat third master was also a little surprised, this junior brother has always been bold, what is the reason why he also has some scruples?
After pondering again, Zhao Yi said: "Today is just a small talk, maybe there is something disrespectful in it, does Xie Gang need to avoid it?" ”
"No, you don't." The fat third master replied for the apprentice, "This kid has read more books than I have read, so it's better to stay and listen." ”
"Only the four of us know about today, uh, five, and Blackie! Don't talk about it again in the future. Zhao Yi admonished.
Xiao Hei was still young when he died, and he often played with Di Qiu, but he obeyed Zhao Yiyan. If it weren't for Zhao Yi's help to put Xiao Hei's soul in the cat's body, Xiao Hei would have been scattered.
The third master snorted coldly and said, "I don't believe that you and the second brother haven't talked about this." ”
"Senior brother's discernment, since the Yin and Yang descendants appeared, I had doubts in my heart, and I discussed a lot with the senior brother in charge." Zhao Yi smiled bitterly.
Di Qiu interjected at this time: "Since the predecessor wants to talk about the secrets of the Dao Gate, it is better for me to avoid it. Then he got up and left the table. was caught by Zhao Yi.
"These things involve your Yin and Yang Doctrine. If you're gone, what will we talk about? The third master said for Zhao Yi.
Di Qiu sat down again, ready to see what shocking inferences the two old-timers would have.
"Let's start with our four great heavenly masters." Zhao Yi began the narrative. "The four Heavenly Masters of Zhang, Ge, Xu, and Sa are the ancestors of the Four Great Dao Sects of Heavenly Master, Shangqing, Lingbao, and Shenxiao respectively. All four of them are figures from within 2,000 years. And what about before? The first three sects also respect the three Qings, the Heavenly Master Zun Taiqing Daode Tianzun, the Shangqing Zun Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, the Lingbao Zun and the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun. Shenxiao was a branch that branched out in the three sects of Fu Seal during the Song Dynasty, respecting the three Qings. ”
Seeing the third master nodding, Zhao Yi continued: "However, in China's history for so many years, these supreme existences are not the only ones. There are still two ancestors of Buddhism, Shakyamuni and Zhun Ti Taoist. Plus there are some loose cultivators. After a pause, Zhao Yi said to Di Qiu: "Here I have to tell Xiao Di you a fact, the Shang Dynasty's battle to seal the gods is not made up by later generations. It is compiled by the masters of the Daomen of the Ming Dynasty, and most of the stories are true, otherwise how could they come to heaven and earth. ”
Feng Shen said that Di Qiu himself also had an excess, because he was wandering in front of ghosts, but he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. "So, Heavenly Court also exists?"
"Senior brother, please answer this point." Zhao Yi said to the fat third master.
The fat third master glanced at Zhao Yi and said slowly: "Earlier, you found that my physique was different, and that was due to my own exercises. Although the underworld is famous for the Shangqing Maoshan faction, I am not far behind Longhu Mountain. When he was young, he was reckless, and once on a whim during the yin, he quietly slipped into the Yama Hall and heard the conversation between the two. After taking a deep breath, the third master continued: "One of them asked, 'Dianjun, now that most of the evil ghosts in hell have completed their sentences, should I let them reincarnate or not?' The other replied, 'The iniquity has been atoned for, let it go!' The voice seemed to be a little more inside, and the man before sighed again, "Dianjun, such a number, I am afraid that the wicked people in the yang world are in charge." Then the man replied, 'This is the law of heaven, and the retribution is not pleasant, and if it is done again, it will be judged when it comes back.' ''Hey! The above is ignored. The people inside also said, "Most of the gods were injured in the battle of the gods, for example, today things in the court are in order, and most of the gods are cultivating behind closed doors." There are also mortals who go to heaven and add the position of the four great heavenly masters, but there is no name on the list of gods, which is a variable after all. Therefore, you don't have to worry too much about the truth that the heavenly court is free to close, you and I are in charge of the affairs of the underworld. The man said to him, 'That being the case, I will do it.' Then he walked out, and I was so frightened that I ran away. ”
Seeing that the third master's face was grim, not unbelievable, Di Qiu was secretly frightened. The words that the third master heard not only confirmed the legend of the Great War of the Gods, but also knew that the ascension of the four heavenly masters was the fuse that led to the closure of the Heavenly Court.
Zhao Yi smiled bitterly: "So I pray that God has nowhere to go, and the west will come to shave." The immortals and gods revered by Taoism have long abandoned us, but the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are still there. ”
"Humph! Buddhism has his door of convenience, and when Pudu sentient beings say it, if they still ignore it, wouldn't they even want their own dogma? I think these Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have been slapping themselves in the face all these years. The fat third master snorted coldly and said.
Ignoring the fat third master, Zhao Yi continued: "The first battle of the gods was destroyed and the sect was destroyed, and the second generation of disciples of the sect was appointed to the top of the god list, and three of the disciples of the first generation were even the deputy sect leader who betrayed the religion, and the rest were greatly reduced in strength, and they also existed in name only. So Daozu incarnated as Lao Tzu and wrote the Tao Te Ching to teach the world. ”
"Senior, after all this, it seems that it has nothing to do with me!" Di Qiu couldn't help but interrupt Zhao Yi.
"Hehe, the kid is still in a hurry, these things are the secrets of my Zhengyi Sect, you are not happy to listen to it, look at the boy Xie." Zhao Yi said with a smile.
Hearing his name, Xie Gang immediately blushed, but he was too engaged in hearing it before.
"Having said all this, I want to mention these people, the twelve golden immortals who explain the teachings." Zhao Yi continued, "Most of the twelve golden immortals became enlightened and the Three Emperors and Five Emperors were in the period, and there was no exposition, no interception, and no Taoism. What kind of denomination are they? Before the establishment of the Sanqing Sect, what was the origin of the five old Qi Tianjun of the five directions? What kind of sect were King Wen of Zhou, Huang Feihu and others during the Fengshen period? ”
was mentioned by Zhao Yi like this, and the fat third master was also interested, and asked: "What does the senior brother mean that the first-class immortals without sects at that time should have something to do with the Yin and Yang Doctrine?" ”
Zhao Yi shook his head and said: "In ancient times, there were many exercises, and I didn't dare to infer it, but I just thought that there were many sects mixed at that time, and those masters learned a wide variety of things. It is like expounding the teachings of Taigongwang, and he has a deep relationship with the Yin and Yang Qimen, but he went to the Jade Void Palace to learn the Yuqing Altar Method. Therefore, I speculate that the battle of the gods is not just a dispute of interpretation, but also the idea of bringing these untaught monks under control. ”
"Oh?" After the fat third master exclaimed, he pondered for a moment and said, "Senior brother's inference is not unreasonable. At that time, the number of monks was indeed amazing, and the number of them was no less than the disciples who expounded the two religions. The twelve golden immortals are still suffering. ”
"Yes, among them, the people of Lu Zhudao are the leader, because of their high strength, they are only under the Sanqing, and they are only under the Sanqing, plus they know the current affairs, and they will finally be exempted from the god list. At that time, he dared not to worship Laojun and not respect the immortal of Yuan Shi morality, he was the only one. Zhao Yi continued.
"Isn't that Lu Jian real person made up based on Lu Xixing?" Xie Gang said in a low voice.
The third master stretched out his hand and slapped him, saying, "You kid is stupid when you read the book, can you believe what the book says?" Write down whatever bull you want to brag about today, write down whatever bull I want to brag about tomorrow, and in the end, who is real and who is fake? ”
"Senior brother, don't be angry, Lu Zhudao people are indeed ethereal, and it is unknown whether they exist or not, maybe Senior Brother will personally ask Lord Yama, presumably he knows the answer." Zhao Yi teased the fat third master.
"Get out, the more alive Lao Tzu is, the less timid he is, but he doesn't dare to go to this underworld." The third master said angrily.
Why does Hades know the authenticity of Lu Press's real people? It is because the Ten Hall Yama King is the ten incarnations of Taiyi Salvation Tianzun in the Twelve Golden Immortals. And Lu Press's appearance in the gods is also on the side of the teaching. If it is true, the two must have intersected.
"It's far away again, I believe that no matter whether Lu Zhudao people exist or not, it has nothing to do with Xiao Di's Yin and Yang Theory. And I've been talking about the gods, which is to talk about this example, so that you can be a little mentally prepared. Zhao Yi straightened his color and said to Di Qiu.
