I asked the old lady if he had left any relics.

The old lady thought for a while and said, "The old man in my family has been dead for nearly twenty years, and most of the things have been thrown away, but there are also some things left, but I don't know if those things are of use to you." ”

As she spoke, the old lady prepared to show us.

When your uncle saw this, he told us that he would go back first, make the bed for us, and then we would go back to him to rest.

After he left, we followed the old lady to a room on the second floor.

This room is stacked with some clutter.

Although it is a utility room, it is neatly stacked and cleaned.

"The relics of my old man are basically piled up here."

The old lady smiled and said, "Look for yourselves, my eyes are not very good, and I can't see these things clearly." ”

I hurriedly helped the old lady outside to sit down, and then I came in and rummaged through these things with An Ning and Yi Yang.

Although Li Fuguang's grandfather has passed away for many years, there are still so many relics he left behind.

After all, he was a teacher and a history teacher when he was young, so most of the things he left behind were books, and they were all books on history or Chinese studies, and of course some notebooks were left.

The point is on these notebooks.

But the old man liked to take notes so much that he even kept all the notes he had taken when he was a teacher.

It's a big job, and we have to look at the contents of the notebook one by one.

The three of us watched for about two hours, and our eyes were glazed.

Fortunately, An Ning seems to have made a discovery.

She held up a notebook and called us over.

This notebook is newer than the others, and on the first page is a drawing of an evil Buddha.

And the old man's painting is not bad, probably restoring the appearance of six or seven out of ten evil Buddhas.

He's still there

Turn the second page, and from the second page onwards, there is a dense transcript.

We were suddenly a little excited, this old man likes to study history and culture, and he really studied the origin of the 'evil Buddha'.

The entire notebook is the result of his research.

But in order to trace the birth of this evil Buddha, we must first understand the historical background and cultural background of the birth of the evil Buddha.

And this background is the 'Buddhism and Taoism controversy' that has lasted for thousands of years.

As we all know, Taoism is the native religion of our country, while Buddhism is a foreign religion, and the earliest record of its introduction to our country is in 67 AD.

Nowadays, Buddhism has also developed in our country for thousands of years, and has long been integrated with our country's cultural customs, forming a religion with our national characteristics.

Moreover, in today's harmonious society, there is no longer a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, but in the development process of the two religions, there is inevitably a cruel history, and the spearhead of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism originally originated from a saying, called 'Lao Tzu is nonsense.'

Who is 'Lao Tzu', whose original name is Li Er, is the founder of the Taoist school.

Here we need to distinguish between 'Taoism' and 'Taoism'.

Taoism is a school of thought, whereas Taoism is a religious sect.

The founder of Taoism is Li Er, that is, Lao Tzu.

The originator of Taoism is Zhang Daoling.

As for what is the relationship between Taoism and Taoism, in fact, the doctrine of Taoism is Taoist thought, so Taoism calls Lao Tzu 'Taoist ancestor', in the Taoist immortal system, Lao Tzu is Taishang Laojun, and it is also one of the three Qings.

Therefore, 'Lao Tzu' enjoys a high status in Taoism.

And the so-called 'Lao Tzu Hua nonsense" is that Lao Tzu went west to Tianzhu, educated the Tianzhu people, and then reincarnated as Shakyamuni Buddha and founded Buddhism.

There is also a saying that Lao Tzu was Shakyamuni's teacher.

Looking at it this way, many people will think that this statement is made up by Taoism and wants to take advantage of Buddhism.

But in fact, this statement was first arranged by Buddhism itself, strictly speaking, by Buddhism that originally flowed into China.

Why did they make up such a statement, because in the early days of Buddhism's introduction to China, when Confucianism was the mainstream in China, it was natural to have a skeptical and repulsive attitude towards foreign religions, so the development of Buddhism in the early stage of China must have been quite difficult.

In order for Buddhism to gain a foothold in the country, it must be combined with the traditional beliefs of the country and attached to the immortal arts such as the Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu.

Therefore, they made up the argument that Lao Tzu is talking nonsense.

After all, Lao Tzu enjoys a high status in Taoism and is respected as the ancestor of Taoism, while Buddhism actually says that Lao Tzu is the Buddha, which is undoubtedly a provocation to Taoism.

Thus the two religions began a thousand-year-long dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.

In the later period, Buddhism gradually gained a firm foothold in China, and in turn began to refute the theory of "Lao Tzu's nonsense", saying that this was not made up by them at all, but by Taoism itself.

There have been two incidents in history of the extinction of the Tao due to the worship of the Buddha, and until modern times, there have been cases of worshipping the Buddha and suppressing the Tao.

The birth of the 'evil Buddha' can be traced back to more than 500 A.D., which is recorded by Li Fuguang's grandfather in his notebook.

At that time, it was the period of worshipping Buddha and suppressing Taoism, and it was said that there was a young Taoist priest of Taoism, this person's name was Gongsun Jing, and the Taoist number was Kongyang Taoist.

This Gongsun Jing was adopted by the abbot of the Taoist temple, and when he was young, the Taoist temple was still at its peak, with as many as 800 disciples. At that time, Emperor Wenxuan inherited the throne, he was born in Hu and relatively believed in Buddhism, so Buddhism began to prevail, and Taoism was suppressed.

At that time, to what extent was Taoism suppressed, due to an order of Emperor Wen Xuan, all Taoist priests in the Qi realm must cut their hair and become monks, become monks, and kill Taoist priests who do not want to. So in the "Book of Northern Qi", such a passage was recorded - there are no Taoist priests in the Qi realm.

Because the Taoist priests have become monks, those who don't want to be monks will die.

As a Taoist, Gongsun Jing naturally can't stand it, but if he can't look at it, he can't stand it, and if he strips away the identity of a Taoist, he has always been a grass people, what can he change?

But those who have a heart are always on the road to action.

Gongsun Jing has a skill, goes deep into the world, walks in yin and yang, solves the infestation and persecution of ghosts and monsters for the people, and uses the medical skills learned in Taoism to cure diseases and exorcise evil spirits for the people.

He did this not for anything else, but to justify the name of Taoism and let people know that the real Taoism should not be persecuted in this way.

It was at this stage that he became acquainted with a Buddhist monk.

This monk is called 'Daojue', and he was born with three eyes.
