The Potala Palace is located in the holy city of Uszang - Sunshine City, more than 4,000 miles away from Shushan.

The Sunshine City is also known as "Lhasa" in Uszang, which means "the place where the gods and Buddhas live" in Tibetan.

As a castle on the plateau, Nikko Castle is surrounded by mountains and bathed in sunlight, and is full of splendor and solemnity all year round.

When the sun rises, the golden sunlight shines over the mountains and casts on the Potala Palace and the town at its feet, making the entire Sunshine City feel like a layer of sacred and peaceful gold edges.

The most noble figure in Nikko City and even in the entire Usizang realm is the Sakya Dharma King and the emperor of the current dynasty - Pasippa.

Commanded 100,000 households in Tibet and commanded Buddhists all over the world!

The emperor can be said to be the first strange person in the mortal tantric sect throughout the ages.

His real name is Luo Chai Jianshen, at the age of three he can recite mantras, mantras and practice the Dharma, he is gifted, he can read and write the Five Ming (1) without teaching, and the people in Tibetan areas are very surprised, and they have called it "Eight Sipa", "Eight Sipa" means "the wisdom of the sage" in Tibetan.

At the age of seventeen, he became the second abbot of Liangzhou and succeeded the head of the Sakya sect, at which time he had another title - "Panditta", and was revered by the Tibetans as a learned scholar.

At the age of nineteen, as the head of the Sakya sect, he met Kublai Khan on Liupan Mountain, and Kublai Khan, seeing that Phags-pa had a wealth of knowledge and wisdom at a young age, asked Phag-pa to give the Hivajra empowerment at the suggestion of his wife, Chabi.

Phags-pa proposed, "After receiving the Hivajra empowerment, the little monk is your guru. After that, the Guru sits on the throne, and you have to pray physically and listen to the Guru's words, not against the Guru's wishes. ”

Although Kublai Khan had not yet become the Great Khan at that time, he was also a royal nobleman and the grandson of Genghis Khan, which was difficult to accept.

Chabi came to the round again: "When there are few people, the guru can sit on the throne; But when princes, horses, officials, and subjects gathered, the Khan should still sit on his throne. ”

Hearing this, Phags-pa nodded yes.

Kublai Khan listened, but he was still a little hesitant.

At this time, Chabi moved out of the ancestor Genghis Khan, saying that Genghis Khan had also served Changchun Ziqiu as the national teacher, and it was rumored that his old man was also a national teacher when there were few people, and he sat on the seat when there were many people.

"Could it be that the mind can't emulate the ancestors?"

Kublai Khan had already admired his ancestor Genghis Khan incomparably, and when he heard what his wife said, he did not hesitate to worship Pasipa as his guru.

After that, Kublai Khan and his wife, together with 25 children, visited Phags-pa with the ritual of a mortal visit to a teacher, and successively received tantric empowerment in front of Phags-pa, which also laid the foundation for Tibetan Buddhism to later become the state religion of the dynasty and Phags-pa to become the first emperor of the world.

But what made Möngke Khan and Kublai Khan most happy and admired was the fact that Paspa beat the Middle Earth Taoist faction with his eloquence to the point that he could not hold his head up......

Throughout the ages, Buddhism and Taoism have been respected, and it is difficult to fight each other.

Since the Western Jin Dynasty, Taoist disciple Wang Fu put forward the saying that "Lao Tzu turned Hu into a Buddha", saying that Lao Tzu did not disappear after leaving Yangguan in the west, but went to the Western Regions and Tianzhu, directly incarnated as a Buddha, and educated the people in the West!

Taoism comes first, Buddhism comes last.

Therefore, the Taoist gate is more noble than the Buddhist gate.

In this way, Buddhism naturally cannot accept it, so the debate of Buddhism and Taoism revolves around "Lao Tzu turning Hu into Buddha" for 800 years!

At first, it was only the small sects of Taoism and Buddhism arguing with each other and winning each other, but later in some dynasties, the debate has risen to the height of the nation and the state, and even several debates, the referees are served by the emperor and foreign teachers of Fanbang.

The Song Emperor of the previous dynasty was famous for respecting Taoism and degrading Buddha, for example, Song Zhenzong forcibly recognized Zhao Xuanlang of Taoism as his ancestor, so the disciples of Buddhism were not less deflated in the land of Middle Earth during the Song Dynasty.

This influence eventually led Genghis Khan to believe that "Taoism is better at the method of immortality than Buddhism", so after feeling the threat of death, he was appointed as a national teacher by teaching Changchun Ziqiu to be the national teacher.

However, in later generations, the Tao disappeared and the Buddha rose, and Meng Ke Khan and Kublai Khan had faintly hoped in their hearts that Buddhism could defeat Taoism in front of the people of the world, just because Taoism is a pure Han sect, and Buddhism is a sect believed in by the Tianzhu people, Mongolians, and Tibetans, and if you want to conquer the world, Taoism must lose to Buddhism!

In this way, Buddhism can be established as the state religion and unify the country!

As a result, Möngke Khan ordered Kublai Khan to hold an unprecedented Buddhist and Taoist debate conference in the Da'an Pavilion of Kaiping Mansion that shocked the world!

Buddhism sent more than 300 monks to participate, including the national teacher of Dangchao Namo, the head of the Sakya sect, the head of the White Sect, the national monk of Dali, the elder of Shaolin Temple, the elder of Wutai Mountain, and the abbot of Shenwu Temple.

Taoism was headed by Zhang Zhijing, the head of the Quanzhen Sect, and sent Mr. Manzi Wang, Daolu Fan Zhiying, General Judge Wei Zhiyang, and lecturer Zhou Zhili, a total of more than 200 Taoist priests participated;

The referees and notaries included the then prince Kublai Khan, Shangshu Yao Shu and others, a total of more than 200 people.

Because at that time, Phags-pa was already Kublai Khan's guru, and in order not to appear to be deliberately biased in favor of Buddhism, Kublai Khan specially arranged for Yao Shu to serve as the chief referee.

Seventeen people from each side of Buddhism and Taoism were represented by fierce debates around the "Laojun Eighty-one Transformation Map" and "Laozi Huahu Jing".

At first, the two sides still went back and forth, until Pas-pa went into battle.

Pasipa was fully prepared this time, and he firmly grasped the three questions of "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing":

"Is this scripture what Lao Tzu said (Lao Tzu suddenly appeared after he died for hundreds of years)?"

"What is a Buddha (a Buddha is an enlightened being, not a fixed position)?"

"Did Lao Tzu go to Tianzhu to turn into a Buddha ("Xijing Miscellaneous Records" contains Lao Tzu died in the Han land)?"

Repeatedly attacked and defended the Taoist priests present.

As a result, the Taoist priests either replied "no answer", or replied "I have never heard of it", or they did not dare to hold the argument and gradually fell into disadvantage.

Forced to be helpless, the Taoist priests could only come up with the most common killer weapon of the Taoist sect in the past - "Historical Records" to prove that "Lao Tzu turned Hu into Buddha" is real.

The reason is that "the "Historical Records" records the incident of Lao Tzu's letter to Guguan in the west".

But when the Taoist priests took out the "Historical Records", they fell into the arms of Ba Sipa, and immediately, Ba Si Pa began his "crazy killing" of the Han Taoist priests in the debate arena!

Phags-pa asked: "Your "Historical Records" of Middle-earth only records that Mr. Li Er sent a letter to Guguan in the west, does it say that he turned Hu into a Buddha?" ”

The Taoist priests replied, "No." ”

Phags-pa asked again, "What is the name of the scriptures written by Mr. Li Er, whom you revere as the Taoist ancestor?" ”

The Taoist priests replied without hesitation: "Tao Te Ching." ”

Phags-pa asked again and again: "So, apart from the Tao Te Ching, what other scriptures has Mr. Li Er written?" ”

The Taoist priests replied, "No." ”

Pasipa asked: "In the Tao Te Ching, did Mr. Li Er mention the deeds of turning Hu into a Buddha?" ”

The Taoist priests replied, "No." ”

Only then did he say, "Yes! In the "Historical Records", which is called the most authoritative history book in your Middle Kingdom, there is no record of the matter of turning Hu at all, and in all of Mr. Li Er's works, there is no mention of turning Hu into a Buddha, which shows that 'Lao Tzu turned Hu into a Buddha'......"

"It's hypocritical!"

As soon as the final word was reached, all the Taoist priests present were speechless and killed!

Chief referee Yao Shu saw that the victory had been divided, and announced on the spot:

"The Taoist is responsible!"

Kublai Khan led the crowd to judge 45 kinds of scriptures as apocrypha, and ordered the apocryphal scriptures and their printing plates to be burned;

Taoist priest Fan Zhiying and other seventeen people were forced to cut their hair and become monks according to the gambling agreement, and Kublai Khan also ordered them to be placed in the temple separately, and recorded them in the Buddhist register, and ordered people to guard them at all times to prevent them from returning to Taoism;

Many Taoist temples in Middle-earth were later converted into Buddhist monasteries;

Taoism suffered a complete defeat, and since then it has been unable to afford to fall, and has been reduced to idle clouds and wild cranes for decades......

And that year, the world-famous Pas-pa was only twenty-three years old......

After that, Phags-pa followed Kublai Khan and experienced the great battle between Kublai Khan and his brother Ali Buge for the throne after the death of Möngke Khan.

It was not until Kublai Khan's complete victory that Kublai Khan returned to Yanjing to succeed the Mongol Khanate, named the 26-year-old Phags-pa as the national teacher, and awarded the jade seal to let Phags-pa rule the world's Buddhism.

When he was thirty-six years old, Kublai Khan promoted Phags-pa to the rank of Emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty and replaced it with a new jade seal, and since then, Phags-pa has been given a full name by Kublai Khan:

Under the Emperor!

More than one person!

Buddha of the West Heaven!

Become a Buddha!

Create Text!

Defend the country's politics!

Proficient in Wuming Class Zhida!

Phags-Padi!!

Because the name is too long, the world abbreviates it as:

Emperor.

……

……

……

Recently, the self-proclaimed Tianzhu Envoy Garuda Protector Golden-winged Dapeng came to the Potala Palace to ask for a meeting with the emperor, and talked with the emperor about the Dark Heaven Sect, the human world, and even the Six Realms.

At first, the emperor was not convinced.

The emperor has always only believed in the Great Day and is a disciple of Tibetan Buddhism, while the Dark Heaven Sect worships Shiva the Great and is a native sect of Tianzhu.

The emperor even wanted to invite the golden-winged Dapeng out of the Potala Palace.

But when the Golden-winged Dapeng mentioned the common "enemy" of the Dark Heaven Sect and Tibetan Buddhism, the Sanqing Tianzun of the Divine Realm, especially the Daodao Tianzun Taishang Laojun, who had incarnated Li Er, the emperor's face changed slightly.

Although it only changes color slightly, the golden-winged roc is observant and thoughtful.

After all, the emperor assisted the Tartar Emperor in suppressing the Middle Earth sect, especially the Taoism that was supported by the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi and Nuwa Niangniang, if the divine realm really wanted to fall into the crime, the crime would not be small!

Seeing that the emperor was worried, the golden-winged Dapeng took advantage of the situation and threatened with a shocked face:

"Tianzhu and Persia have been destroyed! It's just to the west of the Snow Mountain, I don't know if you've been there? There is only the sea ......"

"There's not an inch left to stand!!"

"It's the Sanqing Heavenly Venerable who sent down the Nine Heavens Thunder to the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi and wiped out the two kingdoms!!"

"And what about your Tibet? Will it be spared? ”

After all, the emperor is a high-ranking monk, although he has already ruled the world's Buddhist disciples, but what he wants to do most is to protect the people of Wusizang and exhort the world to do good and stop killing, not to mention that he felt too many wars and Tibetans when he was young, so he naturally focused on calming things down.

And the Golden-Winged Dapeng has always thought highly of himself since he received the vast mana bestowed by the Dark Heaven Sect Master, only to feel that this time to talk about cooperation with the Emperor Master was like reading the Holy Decree of the Sect Master, seeing that the Emperor Master was becoming more and more worried, he sat down on the throne of the Emperor with a grin, spread his golden wings and laughed wildly: "Hahahaha! Phag-pa, do you think I'm really asking to see you? I'm here to save you! Save your Sunshine City! and even the whole of Tibet!! ”

As he spoke, the golden-winged Dapeng leaned in front of him, staring at the emperor and arrogantly promised: "I, the Dark Heaven Sect Sect Leader Indra, have supreme mana, as long as you lead all the Buddhists in the world to join the Dark Heaven Sect, then all the Buddhist disciples will be safe and sound!" ”

"Not only that...... The whole of Tibet will also be protected from the destruction of the divine realm because of the protection of Lord Shiva! ”

Speaking with momentum, the golden-winged Dapeng even pointed to the sky and reminded the emperor: "Aren't you known as 'under the emperor and above one person'?" I, the Dark Heaven Sect Master, Indra, is the Emperor! Join the Dark Heaven Sect and eliminate the gods and demons in this world to keep peace forever! ”

"The Six Realms will be dark, but the heavens will live forever!"

Although the emperor is a high-ranking monk, he has not been able to ascend to the Western Elysium after all, and his strength in the Six Realms is only a little higher than that of the ordinary immortal sect head and the demon master of the demon world, so it stands to reason that he should seek the protection of a powerful god.

However, his belief in the Buddha Dari Nyorai was deep-rooted, and he never intended to betray other religions, so he failed to agree to the request of the Golden Winged Roc to "let the monks of the world join the Dark Heaven Sect".

After thinking about it, the emperor said that he wanted to think about it for a few more days, and sent the golden-winged Dapeng away.

But after sending away the Golden-winged Dapeng this time, the emperor couldn't meditate for a long time.

He believes that the mana of the Golden-Winged Dapeng is unfathomable, and as the most intelligent Buddhist disciple in the world, he has not yet been able to see the upper limit of the Mana of the Golden-Winged Dapeng, so the strength of the Dark Heaven Sect Master behind the Golden-Winged Dapeng may really be able to overturn the entire Six Realms.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, the Middle Emperor Nuwa and the Taoist Sanqing Tianzun are definitely enemies, there is no possibility of returning, and the Dark Heaven Sect is their enemy, even if the emperor does not join the Dark Heaven Sect, it seems that it is not appropriate to offend the Dark Heaven Sect?

Is there a plan that can not only make the disciples of Buddhism in the world not deviate from the Buddha's teachings, but also maintain cooperation with the Dark Heaven Sect to plan the major events of the Six Realms?

For this reason, the Emperor Master has always kept in touch with the Dark Sky Sect, and even if he didn't go to the Goddess Peak to meet the Golden-Winged Dapeng in person, he still has a close correspondence with him......

Until the last two days......

The Golden-winged Roc has never been to the Potala Palace at all!

I didn't reply to the emperor's letter again!

Listening to the rumors from his subordinates, the day before yesterday, the golden-winged Dapeng seemed to have taken a big man with the appearance of King Ming to the goddess peak in the depths of the Great Snow Mountain, I don't know what he was plotting?!

The emperor can't sit still!

It is rumored that King Ming is the embodiment of the wrath that Da Ri Rulai used to educate the unreconciled beings!

What if the Golden-Winged Roc felt that he was arrogant and rude, and invited the Ming King to be angry with the entire Usizang?

Obviously, the human emperor Kublai Khan could not solve this matter at all.

I can only ask for help from the Buddhist friends of the three mountains and five mountains and even the Taoist friends.

However, mortal beings are not as good as Daluo immortals, even if they are some living Buddhas and earth immortals, they will not be able to receive the news from here for a few days, and it will take a day and a half to rush to support after learning about it.

Therefore, only some monks and strangers from the nearby Sunshine City rushed to the Holy Guanyin Hall of the Potala Palace today.

These include the Nyingma Red Sect, the Kagyu White Sect, the Kadampa Yellow Sect, the abbot of Dali Tianlong Monastery, Master Rong Ye, and the Qinghai Tiexian Guanguan Railwayman.

Although the kings of the Red Sect, the White Sect, and the Yellow Sect do not belong to the same sect as the emperor, they are also admired by the pattern of the emperor and the emperor dominating the world, and they all recognize the status of the emperor as "under the emperor and above one person".

Rong Ye, the abbot of Tianlong Temple, has been friends with the emperor for many years, and Dali is still much closer to the Sunshine City than the Central Plains, so he rushed to the Potala Palace at noon today.

Although the railway man is the master of the Iron Immortal Temple, he is a Taoist priest, but he has been under the emperor's orders for a long time, he does not have the Taoist disciples to share the honor and disgrace, only hope that the emperor can get more benefits for himself, and the emperor does not want to shave all the Taoist priests as monks, which will make the world feel that the Buddhist disciples only care about killing the Taoist disciples, which is not conducive to the spread of Buddhist culture.

Therefore, the emperor maintained interaction with the railway people.

It is rumored that the railroad man is not a human being, but an iron broom cultivated into an earth immortal, and whenever he needs to go far away, he will turn into an iron broom that flies to the mountains and seas.

It seems that the rumors are true, and the railroad people arrived at the Holy Guanyin Hall earlier than Master Rong Ye.

At this moment, under the statue of Guanyin, which is about four feet high, the holy temple of Guanyin, is standing solemnly in front of everyone, listening to everyone's opinions.

Master Rong Ye gave a salute to Pasipa and strongly objected, "Emperor, the old man believes that the Dark Heaven Sect is not orthodox and decent...... Listening to the rumors in the rivers and lakes, they have always been low-key and few people know about it in the past, and now the so-called Dark Heaven Sect Master sent Garuda Protector to let us join the Dark Heaven Sect, which greatly violated the Buddha's wishes, and it was really inappropriate! ”

When Pasipa heard this, he remained silent.

The railroad man gave a salute to Pasipa and strongly agreed: "Emperor, the poor Dao believes that the strength of the Dark Sky Sect is obvious to all, in fact, it doesn't matter which faction you join, what matters is how not to offend the powerful forces to protect our existing country, which is why you urgently summoned us to discuss countermeasures." We should take the sin and go to the Goddess Peak as soon as possible to ask for the forgiveness of the Garuda Protector! ”

Both the Red and Yellow Sect Kings advised Pas-pa to remain neutral and not to enter or oppose the Dark Heaven Sect, and as for the figure who looked like the Ming King, he was not necessarily here to punish Uszang.

The White Sect King believed that Phags-Pa was an eloquent talent, and he could directly negotiate with the Dark Heaven Sect Master face-to-face, turning passivity into initiative, just like when he persuaded Kublai Khan to treat Tibet well.

For a while, there were many opinions and inconsistencies.

Emperor Phags-pa fell silent.

This majestic treasure, flat head and black hair, thin eyebrows and big eyes, nose and red lips, he wears an auspicious Sakya crown, wears a yellow Tuanhua three-Dharma robe, and his right arm is exposed, standing solemnly in the temple......

After a long time, he spoke: "That's it, the stakes are very high, the poor monk should go to the Goddess Peak in person and see the Garuda Protector...... It's better than staying in the Potala Palace and doing nothing. ”

After saying this, the emperor slowly walked towards the outside of the hall.

The Holy Guanyin Hall is located in the highest position of the Potala Palace, and then up is the golden dome of the Potala Palace, when the emperor walks out of the main hall, a warm spring fragrant wind blows in the face.

The emperor could feel that this fragrance was very familiar.

Extremely familiar!

He still remembered that two years ago, when he was sitting in meditation in the Holy Guanyin Temple, a wave of gray qi came with the momentum of annihilation, causing him to lose all his color and spiritual power.

However, unlike the rest of the sentient beings in the Six Realms, the Emperor Master has long cultivated the Alayya Consciousness, which is what the Buddhists call the Eighth Consciousness - Tibetan Consciousness, which originates from the Buddha of the Western Heavens, and is a divine power outside the heavens, and has not been erased by the Death of Pangu, so he still retains a little bit of consciousness to observe the Six Realms.

In the haze, he could feel a rare fragrance with his alaya consciousness, like a hibiscus peony, like a jasmine narcissus, and like a lotus moon, after the colorful light flashed, he was completely awakened, and his five senses were restored and refreshed!

In the past two years, the emperor has always believed that it is the Western Heaven Guanyin Bodhisattva who has mercy on the suffering people of the world and helped all beings to survive the catastrophe of heaven and earth with the light of the supreme Buddha!

Unexpectedly, today, when the emperor was hesitant and helpless, this fragrance blew again!

Compared with two years ago, the fragrance is still accompanied by a hint of frankincense, as if the warm fragrance of a loving mother nourishes all things!

The emperor's eyes were shining, full of hope, and when he looked up, he saw that there was a silver "Dapeng" parked on the golden roof of the Potala Palace, and there was a god in the posture of a fairy at the head of Peng.

Plain yellow skirt, draped like clouds,

Dignified and beautiful, reigning in the world,

It is the Lord of the Six Realms and the Mother of All Things-Situ Yunmeng!

Exegesis:

In terms of disciplines, the Great Five Masters include Sound Law, Orthodoxy, Medicine, Technology, and Buddhism; The Little Five Ming includes rhetoric, rhetoric, prosody, drama, and astrology. The Five Mings are equivalent to the Six Arts founded by the Confucian sage Confucius, and in Tibetan Buddhist culture, mastery of the Five Mings is necessary to become a bodhisattva.
