Chapter 74: The Story of Taiyi
Saying that, the man in white had an extra wine gourd in his hand, he raised it and motioned for Ji Xiao to take a sip.
The cat lay lazily on the ground, yawning and sleepy-eyed.
Ji Xiao looked at the cat like this, and thought that it shouldn't be a problem to accompany Taiyi to drink, after all, the cat wouldn't pit him. So he raised the wine gourd and touched it with the man in white.
Another sip of wine is very refreshing.
The man in white continued: "There is a passage in Taishang's writings, there is a mixture of things, born by nature, lonely, independent and unchanging. Walking around without dying, you can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, but the word is the way. You've probably heard of it. “
Ji Xiao nodded and said, "I know, speaking of which, my name is Ji Liao, but I responded to the sentence 'lonely Liaoxi'." ”
The man in white smiled faintly and said: "In fact, what is born from the earth is not only the Tao, but also God, there is a God in the beginning, God and the Tao are together, and I am this 'God'." Let me tell you a fictional story, it's just a story. ”
Ji Xiao sat on the ground and said, "Okay." ”
The man in white said calmly: "God and Tao are together, but when God and Tao appeared, there was no universe, only 'chaos'.
God felt that the world was boring, so he asked if 'chaos' could be more interesting, and said that it had to do something groundbreaking, so that there would be living beings, but there would be life and death, and how happy life is, how cruel death is. As soon as it was said, I understood. After the opening of the world, I will live and I will die. But I think the 'chaos' at that time was too monotonous, and it was better to break new ground. The Tao cannot open the world on its own, because it is the law, it is the law, it is the root of all existence, but it cannot be created.
So I helped him, and I became one with the Tao. ”
"People?" Ji Xiao was puzzled.
The man in white said, "Yes, the appearance of a person is the appearance of me and Dao together." This person is not a god, nor is he a Tao, he is called the Yuan Shi Heavenly King, the Yuan Shi Heavenly King opened the world, so there are the sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, and countless gods and demons. Then the Dao came out of the body of the Origin Heavenly King, so the Origin Heavenly King did not exist, and he incarnated into three pure qi.
One clear qi later became the Yuan Shi Tianzun, one clear qi later became Taishang, and I was in the third clear qi. Of the three clear qis, the one I stayed in was the most heavy, so it was difficult to move.
I thought, heaven and earth have been born, I have to go and walk around. So I took a part of the clear qi and left, so that I could easily float between heaven and earth. In this way, the remaining part of the pure qi will smoothly transform into a form.
That part of the pure qi is the Lingbao Tianzun. As for me, I have become a free cloud, it should be the first cloud between heaven and earth, I am floating between heaven and earth, very comfortable. Later, I also had a real body and experienced a lot of things.
Until one day, Lingbao Tianzun found me. He said that Yuan Shi became Yuan Shi, and Taishang became Taishang, but he didn't know what he should become. He said that the reason he didn't know what he had to do was because I was him and he was me. When we are separated, we are incomplete.
I don't care about any of these things, but he does. I said, okay, let's get together.
Anyway, I used to be with Dao and became the First Heavenly King. When he was together with Lingbao Tianzun again, there was no resistance in his heart.
Together, we become one deity.
I am an unrestrained character, Lingbao Tianzun, he is so uneven, and he feels that all living beings are not divided into high and low, so when he sees someone suffering, or being bullied, he has to take care of it.
So when we were together, we did many things and saved many. At that time, they didn't know that we were two people together, so they asked us to 'seek the sound and go to Taiyi to save the suffering Tianzun Qingxuan Jiuyang God'. Then one day, Lingbao Tianzun and I were separated. He said that he had intercepted a part of the Tao and completed himself, so that he would not have to be with me in the future.
I was both happy and disappointed. He also said that the beginning is Yuqing, Taishang is Taiqing, and Lingbao will be Shangqing in the future, and asked me if I want to become Shangqing with him.
I thought, I'm who I am, why do I want to be a clearer. So I refused.
Lingbao said again, anyway, if he can comprehend, I can also comprehend, I don't do Shangqing, and I can become something else in the future. I said I'm Taiyi, which is good.
Lingbao shook his head at that time and said that Taiyi was not good. He said that the current Lingbao is still a Lingbao, and what I will see in the future is Shangqing.
I understood a little bit at the time, but not very well.
Later, all of a sudden, many people came to kill me, and they said that I had a wisp of innate ancestral qi in me, and after I got it, I could prove the beginning. Originally, if they spoke well, it was not impossible to give them what they wanted, but if they forced me, I would definitely not give it.
In fact, I later realized that the innate ancestral qi they were talking about was the pure qi of the incarnation of the Yuan Shi Heavenly King, and Taishang, Yuan Shi, and Lingbao all had this, so they became the Three Qings. And I have it too, and they hit me with ideas.
They're all pretty good, but I'm better than them. So I'm not afraid of them.
But then a bell came along and froze me. I was besieged by them. Because I could only be beaten, they beat one person out of me, that is, the Qingdi. As for me, the owner of that bell, the Emperor of Heaven, was beaten half to death. I finally found a chance to escape, but I was almost gone.
For a long time, I didn't know who I was, but I still remember the days when I was with Lingbao Tianzun, and it was very happy to save people and help people, so I subconsciously saved many people.
They all call me Taiyi to save the suffering Tianzun.
It's just that heaven and earth have never been peaceful, and later Lingbao and Taishang and Yuan Shi fought. As for why he was fighting, I knew very well, because Lingbao knew where I was, and I knew what he was thinking.
He felt that the reason why so many people in the world suffered was because there were defects in the opening of heaven and earth. So it's better to re-practice the earth, fire, water and wind, change the world, and everyone starts all over again.
I don't think Lingbao's idea is good, and it can't be said to be bad, when I was Taiyi to save the suffering Tianzun, I did see many people suffering, they were all pitiful, they just overturned and started over, and those poor people didn't even have a chance to be pitiful.
But Lingbao is also right, this world is not fair, if you don't tear it down and start over, it will always be unfair.
It's just that Taishang and Yuan Shi refused, they felt that justice and injustice should conform to nature, and this world has not yet reached the end.
Lingbao is stubborn, and he is very powerful when he becomes Shangqing, Taishang and Yuan Shi in order to completely dispel his thoughts, they invited two more powerful existences like them to work together and suppress Lingbao.
Not only that, but Taishang also took away Lingbao's disciple Duobao.
Duobao is the most talented among Lingbao's disciples, and he can also understand Lingbao's mind the most. Taishang took Duobao away, which is equivalent to digging the root of Lingbao. But Lingbao couldn't deal with the four of them at the same time, so Lingbao endured it.
But then I learned that Lingbao had other plans. He's going to breathe this out after all.
And I'm the one who helps him get angry. ”
Taiyi said this, glanced at Ji Xiao, and sighed softly.
Ji Xiao said: "What?"
Taiyi continued: "Lingbao already knew that it was me who Taiyi saved the suffering Tianzun, and he hid it from others. Later, he told me that people in the world suffer because of karma and karma, and if you don't get rid of karma and karma, you can't help people. He said that if he wanted to get rid of his karma and karma, he would have to go to hell, and asked me if I would like to be in charge of hell.
I knew he was telling the truth, so I didn't have a big opinion, listened to him, and went to take charge of hell. Later, Heavenly Court sent someone called Dongyue Emperor to take charge of hell, and I could see at a glance that Dongyue Emperor was the incarnation of Emperor Qing. He and I were originally the same person, so if he wanted to come, I would let him come. When the Heavenly Court saw that I agreed to the Dongyue Emperor to rule the hell, it had to make an inch, and sent ten halls of Yama to come, I thought that the hell was so big, and I was really not easy to manage alone, so out of sight was pure. Anyway, I'm refining karma and karma, and I don't want to take care of people.
The Ten Palaces Yama are also respectful to me, and they are conscientious in their work, so I don't have any opinion of them.
Who knew that after a period of time, another monk appeared in the underworld. I swore that 'hell is not empty, and I will not become a Buddha', and I get angry when I hear it, isn't this to drive me away?"
When Ji Yu heard this, he basically guessed that the monk was Jizang.
Jizo is so awesome, he shouldn't be bullied by Taiyi.
"I beat the monk, but he had a really good temper. He said that hell was originally in my charge, I was the Lord, and he was the guest. So you are willing to be beaten by me and let me get angry. When he said that, I was so embarrassed to continue beating him that I let him take root in hell. And then he did a very beautiful thing. ”
Speaking of this, Tai paused for a moment, raised the wine gourd and said, "Drink." ”
Ji Xiao doesn't want to drink at all now, he just wants to listen to Taiyi's story. He hurriedly took a sip and asked, "What's the matter?"
