Borneo, Fenglinzhou, and Dongposuzhou, each with a Pingzhang Dazhen and a first-class spirit official personally sitting in charge, in a sense, the territory of Daomen is larger than that of the imperial court, just like the control area of the Daofu in the Western Regions is more than that of Xizhou, in name, these places are the vassal states of the Central Plains Imperial Court, and they pay tribute to the Celestial Empire, and the Celestial Empire will not directly interfere in its internal affairs.

However, Fenglinzhou is an exception, the situation in this place is very complicated and extremely xenophobic. It was not a vassal state of the Celestial Empire, and still retains the honorific title of "Emperor".

This is also not a thing that can not be helped, take Borneo as an example, a continent, a continent, large and small more than a dozen small countries, a plate of scattered sand, and Fenglin Island is also a continent, but there is only one country, its strength can be imagined, just let the regent Guan Bai submit, has caused more than one large and small civil strife, if the dethronement of the emperor, the so-called "respect for the king" will be even more crazy.

Daomen has a very high status in Fenglinzhou, but it is not reliable.

There are two major sects in Fenglinzhou, one is the native Tianmen of Fenglinzhou, and the other is the foreign Buddhism.

Speaking of Buddhism, its spread is widespread, in fact, far above the Taoist gate, Buddhism everywhere it goes, it integrates local customs and culture, so it is also divided into many branches, and the difference is great.

For example, the Middle Earth Buddhism, also known as "Zen Buddhism", its first ancestor was a person outside the territory, but the second generation of the patriarch was an orthodox Central Plains, and his biological father was the master of the Vientiane School Palace. When the first ancestor founded the Middle Earth Buddhism, the second ancestor came to the temple to ask for benefits. The first ancestor saw that what he had learned was mixed, and his preconceived ideas were very deep, and he was proud of his cleverness, and it was difficult to understand Zen principles, so he refused to accept it at the moment. The second ancestor begged for a long time, but never got his door to enter, and immediately raised his sword and broke his arm to clarify his mind. When the first ancestor saw his sincerity, he accepted him as a disciple and passed on the Vajra system. The second ancestor finally had to inherit the mantle of the first ancestor, follow the first ancestor to learn Buddhism, and follow the "Diamond Sutra" to understand the mind. As the saying goes, the body is healthy, the soul is easy to understand. After the death of the first ancestor, the two ancestors studied the wonderful meaning of Buddhism, and there were many doubts and could not be understood, so the two ancestors left the Buddhist temple, traversed the famous mountains, visited the monks, Confucianism, and real people, and sought to solve the wonderful truth, and gradually comprehended it.

This is just a microcosm of Middle-earth Buddhism, after the deposition of Confucianism for 400 years, the Confucianism that ruled the world for 400 years ushered in its first loss of power, and scholars were generally tired of the cumbersome style of study of scriptures, the grotesque shallowness of theology, and the clichés of the Three Principles and Five Constants, so they turned to find a new place to settle down, and metaphysics began to flourish.

Both magic and metaphysics are based on the natural theory of Taoism, and the Taoists work hard from their hearts and gain sexually. Whether it is a celestial person who does not deviate from the sect, or a person who does not deviate from the essence and does not deviate from the true man, a god man, it is all from the heart to make the work of emptiness and quietness. From then on, it was the work of the Xuan Ming of the Void and Quiet, and from the beginning to the realm of heaven and man, to man, to man, and to God, Taoism can be transformed into immortal art through the theory of immortality. To achieve immortality through cultivation and become an immortal is the Taoist teachings that come from the Taoists.

That is, Taoism has gradually become Taoism, one of the three religions, from Taoism, one of the hundred schools of thought.

Lao Zhuang's metaphysics is particularly prosperous, which should be a symbol of the rise of Taoism, but it was taken by the West Buddhism. Because metaphysics is similar to Prajna, monks at that time also talked about metaphysics. At that time, the power of Buddhism was flourishing, and the masters of the Western Regions came one after another, and the monks gradually took shape. Prajna learns greatly, and talks about the mysteries.

The most commendable ones are the eastward arrival of Rosh, the westward journey of Fa Xian, the leader of Dao'an, and the great opening of the translation industry of Rosh. His ten philosophers and four saints were all first-rate scholars who studied Lao Zhuang at that time. When the world in the north was in turmoil, Dao'an Gaozu Huiyuan lived in seclusion in Kuanglu, studied Prajna, Vitan, advocated the Pure Land of Mida, and became an important town of Buddhism in the south of the Yangtze River. Later, there is the translation of the true meaning of the only knowledge of the treatises, and the translation of the ten recitations, the five points, the four points and so on.

As a result, metaphysics and Buddhism influenced each other, and it became fashionable for Buddhist scholars to talk about metaphysics and metaphysics to discuss Buddhism. It is said that its convergence is the general trend of development at that time. After this, metaphysics and Buddhism gradually merged and were replaced by Buddhism. This is the predecessor of Zen Buddhism in Middle-earth.

Therefore, Middle-earth Buddhism actually created a precedent for the integration of the three religions, and has many similarities and similarities with Taoism and Confucianism. The Cihang vein that exists inside the Daomen is the Middle-earth Buddhism.

Later, Buddhism and Taoism competed, Taoism and Confucianism joined forces to destroy the Middle Earth Buddhism, a large number of Buddhist monks either became Taoist priests, or became Confucianists, anyway, the integration of the three religions is the general trend, many righteousness and principles are the same, there is not much difference, but it is a matter of changing clothes, it really comes and goes freely. As early as the era of Lin Lingsu, there was a precedent of surrender in the Middle Earth Buddhism, and now the Daomen is powerful, incapable of the enemy, and there are precedents and retreats, the Middle Earth Buddhism will naturally not fight hard to the end, which is also the reason why the Middle Earth Buddhism will collapse at the touch of a button.

The Buddhism that now competes with the Taoist Gate actually refers to the Western Regions Buddhism.

If it is said that the Buddhism of Middle Earth absorbed the strengths of Confucianism and Taoism, and changed from Hinayana to Mahayana, it always carries a sense of immortality and poetry and calligraphy. Then Buddhism in the Western Regions has absorbed the strength of shamanism, and its characteristics are cruel, and all kinds of human skins and human bones are endless, full of extremely strong wild and bloody atmosphere.

There is also the Buddhism of Borneo, which is influenced by Wicca. Buddhism in Bhasa is influenced by Brahmaism. They all worship the Buddha, but the teachings are completely different.

The Buddhism of Fenglinzhou is naturally the same, under the influence of the local sect of Fenglinzhou, the Buddhism of Fenglinzhou is similar and not similar to the Buddhism of the Middle Earth, tracing the source, the Buddhism of Fenglinzhou and the Buddhism of the Middle Earth are in the same line, but in the interpretation of the Buddhist scriptures and the inheritance of the precepts, they are very different, for example, the disciples of the Buddhism of the Middle Earth must be vegetarian and monks, but the disciples of the Buddhism of Fenglinzhou can eat meat and become a family, and the Buddhist forces of Fenglinzhou have not experienced the suppression of "destroying the Buddha" five times, and the power is extremely huge.

They are quite hostile to the Daomen, but they are afraid of the strength of the Daomen, and they are obedient on the surface.

Then there is the local sect of Fenglin Continent, Tianmen. At the earliest, Tianmen did not have an official name, until Buddhism was introduced into Fenglinzhou, and gradually spread in Fenglinzhou at that time.

Tianmen, also known as the Shinto Gate of Heaven or Shintoism, speaks of the "Book of Changes" of the Central Plains: "The grand view is on the top, and the sun is smooth, and the middle is to view the world." Look, but not recommended, there is Fu Ruo, and the next view is also. The Shinto of the heavens, and the four seasons are not worried, the saints teach with Shinto, and the world obeys. ”

Later, the Daomen was powerful, and in order to distinguish it from the Daomen, so as not to be mistaken for a branch of the Daomen, the Shinto was simply removed, so it became the Heavenly Gate.

In the earliest days, Tianmen was not the opponent of Buddhism at all, and completely became a vassal of Buddhism, and the gods in Tianmen also became the protectors of Buddhism. Until the rise of Confucianism.

Taoism changed from Taoism to Taoism because of metaphysics, and Confucianism changed from Confucianism to Confucianism because of science. The emperor of the world is the spokesman of the heavenly principle in the world, the son of heaven, and the father of the people. I have to admit that the support of the emperor is indeed a weapon to resist Buddhism, which not only makes the sage of Confucianism one of the four sages, but also pushes Confucianism to the throne of the head of the three religions.

After the science was transmitted to Fenglinzhou, Tianmen and science were combined, emphasizing respect for the emperor and loyalty, so that Tianmen was independent from the control of Buddhism, which is the origin of today's "respect for the king". Later, the regent Guan Bai overthrew the emperor, which naturally violated the concept of loyalty to the monarch, so no matter whether the Daomen entered Fenglin Continent or not, the people who opposed the regent Guan Bai were all endless, from the ministers to the down-and-out warriors.

Later, Tianmen absorbed the teachings of the Holy Court and began to advocate Fenglinzhou as the center of the world, and gradually became the state religion of Fenglinzhou.

This is similar to Emperor Daxuan becoming a super real person of the Daomen, except that the Daomen has one more great master, and he does not centralize power in one person.

Because of this, Daomen's entry into Fenglinzhou naturally caused a strong resistance from Tianmen, but Tianmen's strength was far inferior to Daomen, after the defeat, at the request of Daomen, Tianmen announced the separation of politics and religion, and the Fenglinzhou Emperor issued an edict, declaring that he was a man rather than a god, and abolished Tianmen's status as a state religion.

But the people who believe in Tianmen still occupy the majority, and the Daomen's move will naturally cause public anger, and the experience of Tianmen once becoming a vassal of Buddhism makes them feel that Tianmen is going to become a vassal of the Daomen again, and the people who oppose the Daomen and the people who oppose the regent Guan Bai form a confluence trend, so the "Dao" also comes from this.

In recent years, the so-called "respecting the king and the Tao" has come and gone, and Tianmen, like Buddhism and shamanism in the Western Regions, has become a major problem for Daomen, making Daomen unable to control Fenglinzhou in substance.

In fact, Daomen has only one grip in Fenglinzhou, and that is the regent Guan Bai's family, and now the regent Guan Bai is fighting, and Daomen did not intervene quickly, and missed the best time to calm down the situation, which is really a mistake.

It's not that the big people of the Dao Sect don't see this, they really don't have enough power. The three royal families are fighting for the position of regent Guan Bai, how good can the Daomen be? The Three Veins Dao System also fought infighting for the throne of the Great Palm Sect, where did he still have the energy to manage Fenglin Continent, which was thousands of miles away.

Having said that, perhaps it was the feudal clans of Fenglin Continent who saw the infighting of the Daomen, so they raised the banner of "Respecting the King and the Dao" after many years of forbearance, intending to take advantage of the Daomen's self-care and drive the Daomen out of Fenglinzhou.

Daomen itself will not give up Fenglinzhou easily, and this report is proof that it is already blowing the wind in advance.

If Qi Xuansu's expectations are good, it won't be long before the Daomen will draw elites from various Daofu to send troops to put down the rebellion.
