What is the "Three Cleans Law"?

Before understanding this method, we must first understand the concept of Sanqing.

As we all know, "Sanqing" refers to "Taiqing", "Shangqing" and "Yuqing" respectively.

In the process of the continuous development of Taoist mythology, the three Qings are also associated with the three Taoist Tianzun, Taiqing Daode Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, the three of which are collectively revered as the supreme gods of Taoism.

Although we are now very aware of this concept, and feel that it should be our culture native to China.

In fact, when Buddhism came to China in the west, it inevitably had an impact on local religions, especially Taoism.

Some people believe that the emergence and development of the Taoist symbol of "Three Purities" is actually inseparable from the concept of "three bodies" of Buddha Shakyamuni in Buddhism.

Tianzun is the honorific title of the Buddha by Buddhists, such as the Eastern Han Dynasty "Buddha Said to Have a Bright Determination Sutra": "The disciple of Tianzun is named Sariputta, and he often comes to my house to say the Dharma for me, and the law is very profound and wonderful I want to hear." ”

It was adopted by Taoism during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Buddhism changed to Shizun.

The name of "Three Qings" began in the Six Dynasties, and at first it only referred to the "Three Qings".

As a Taoist god, the "Three Qings" are gradually formed along with the Taoist Three Caves scriptures.

Just like a certain Confucian master who was revered by the rulers of the Song Dynasty and later said.

He believes: "The learning of Taoism comes from Lao Tzu." Its so-called "three clears" are modeled after Shi's "three bodies".

The so-called "three bodies" of the Buddha: the Dharma body, the nature of the Buddha; Those who report their lives are also the virtues of Shakya; The flesh is the true body of Shakya, and the real person is also.

The current sect and its religion are divided into three images and listed in a row, which is not the right thing to do.

And the Taoists wanted to imitate what they did, so they respected Lao Tzu as the three Qings: Yuan Shi Tianzun, Taishang Daojun, Taishang Laojun.

And Haotian God sat under it. Rebellion and rebellion, nothing more! ”

Indeed, before this, especially in the Han Dynasty, Haotian God, or Huangtian God, was still the supreme lord of Confucian Shinto, but it would not be enough to say that he was generally respected by the people at that time.

At that time, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was actually a Chu person and was heavily influenced by Chu culture, so the Taiyi faith began to be valued at that time.

But this is only the beginning, and the traditional belief in the Five Emperors still occupies the mainstream of social thought.

Taiyi was called the Taihuang at that time, and his beliefs were called the Three Emperors together with the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of the Earth at that time, and it was the orthodoxy of the Chinese imperial court sacrifice.

By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, due to the lack of a belief in the unity of the supreme god, and in order to crack down on the power of the feudal princes and kings in various places, strengthen the centralization of power, and maintain the political unification situation, he began to worship Taiyi as the real emperor of heaven.

Later, when Wang Mang was in power, it seemed that because he felt inconvenient with the two gods, he had the intention of merging the two gods of "Taiyi God" and "Emperor God" with each other.

The later result is also known to everyone, Liu Xiu, the son of Destiny, made a big operation, and the Great Meteorite Technique defeated Wang Mang's army, causing Wang Mang to be defeated without reform.

And except for Wang Mang, who was stunned, all the emperors separated these two gods.

And the status of the Three Qings as the supreme gods of Taoism began in the Six Dynasties. And the Jade Emperor was even later, he was simply deceived by a certain deceased monarch from the beginning by a Taoist priest who was previously regarded as a literary scholar.

Everyone knows that the Nine Emperors of the Shenxiao Sect were basically pieced together by Lin Lingsu himself.

That's why the great painter believed him.

Now, with his resume, he may only be able to go to Africa to deceive those "benevolent monarchs".

It's just that later, with the development of Wu Chengen's [Journey to the West], in the current era, the Jade Emperor has consolidated his position as the Emperor of Heaven in Taoist beliefs, and has replaced Haotian God in the influence of facts.

The Taoist term "one gas and three purifications" also comes from the concept of Buddhism.

In fact, the interesting point is that the name Maoshan faction sounds a bit earthy, but in fact they are the Shangqing faction, and they are not the Lingbao Tianzun they worship, but the Yuan Shi Tianzun!

Only the Lingbao sect worships the Lingbao Tianzun.

The patriarch of the Shangqing faction is the female fairy Wei Huacun, and there are also several more famous figures, such as Tao Hongjing.

However, after so many years, the Maoshan faction of the Maoshan faction called down, and even Maoshan himself was powerless to refute it.

Of course, there may be some sects of Taoism here that have other views and they have reservations.

Now for the main business.

The content of the "Three Cleans" in Dugu Bo's hand is not any of the above.

It is also under the pretense of the name of Sanqing, in fact, it should be called the "Three Flowers Method", and it is the three doppelgangers of the spirit and spirit.

Maybe it's because the name is a bit out of character, so everyone unanimously calls it the "Three Cleansing Method".

In fact, there is no connection between these two names, the essence and spirit are called the "three treasures", and there is a saying in Taoist terminology: "There are three treasures in the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars, and people have the three treasures, and the spirit and spirit."

The concept of the essence of Taoist Dandao originated from the ancient Sanqing, and the Sanqing has another name, which is called the Three Treasures, and the Three Treasures are in charge of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, which is very Shangqing!

In many novels, Yuan Shi Tianzun has a three-treasure jade Ruyi in his hands!

"But why isn't it called the Three Jewels? Sure enough, do you still feel a little dirty? ”

Dugu Bo finished flipping through the volume of the Fa in his hand, he sorted out the book, put it on the table, held his cheek with one hand, and the fingers of the other hand unconsciously knocked on the table, and he fell into deep thought.

This "Three Jewels Method", oh no, the "Three Cleansing Methods" can indeed help him solve the problems of his future cultivation, and it can be said that he has really benefited a lot.

The three incarnations of the spirit and spirit are also quite difficult, the three treasures of the spirit and spirit can be said to be the foundation of people, mortals are separated from a treasure and die, and only after becoming an earth immortal, the soul is free from the shackles of the body, at ease, can get rid of the suffering of the essence, the vitality, and the spirit.

However, these are only minor problems for Dugu Bo, with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, it is easy for him to break through the life and death barrier of the Earth Immortal this time.

So now he is worried about how to find the sustenance after the three incarnations of this spirit and spirit are cut out?

After thinking about it and referring to the experience of his predecessors, Dugu Bo finally came up with a way.

The essence is also the essence of the yuan! "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" says: "People are born and become fine first." Kidney essence is the source of life, "the kidney, the main water (blood), is hidden by the essence of the five internal organs." ”

Therefore, the Yuan Jing can be regarded as the origin of flesh and blood, and it can just be entrusted to his refined skeleton clone.

So, the skeleton can finally get out of its skeleton form!
