Chapter 819: Founding Teaching
On the way, Beishui slowly told Chu Xunyu and the three of them about the past of Baizhongjiao, which not only taught Chu Xunyu a lesson to the three of them, but also gave them another understanding of the lost golden city.
Because Baizhongjiao has always rarely interacted with the Central Plains, so people know very little about them, Chu Xunyu's home and the Tianji Pavilion in the forgotten dust There are not many records, and even about its origin, the Central Plains even make up nonsense jokes are very rare, maybe because there is too little relevant news to understand, even if it is nonsense, there must be some basis, and if there is no basis, it can't even be said, so for the origin of Baizhongjiao, the most accurate content Chu Xunyu knows is the news brought back by Sun Mengxuan, only known that it was established by the descendants of the royal guards of the ancient Dian Kingdom, and the others are unknown, but Beishui was born in Baizhong since he was a child, and he knew a lot about their history, so he told the three of them.
As mentioned earlier, the history of Baizhongjiao is not very long, only more than 500 years, this age is hardly a name in the famous sects of the rivers and lakes, but the Baizhongjiao can not only thrive, but also keep pace with the Central Plains faction so far, becoming the only one in the rivers and lakes that integrates the cultivation and governance of people's livelihood as one of the peculiar sects similar to the "Caotou Imperial Court", I have to say that they have their own set.
Beishui revealed the secret behind this status quo, in fact, the establishment of the Baizhong Sect at the beginning was also inextricably linked with the rulers of the Central Plains, which was indeed unexpected by Chu Xunyu and the three of them, for I thought that there was such a story: In the past, the Baizhong Sect was founded in the late Tang Dynasty when Tang Yizong was born, and Tang Yizong Chu Xunyu They all know that he is one of the famous incompetent faint kings in the history of China, and he is also one of the few incompetent faint monarchs in history who can live peacefully to the "magical emperor" , He has almost all the bad problems of all faint monarchs in history, what arrogance and lasciviousness, lack of progress, reuse traitorous ministers, favor eunuchs, etc., it is difficult to write, all such faint monarchs in office will inevitably cause peasant uprisings, and the country will be ruined, but the magic of this Tang Yizong is that he is so incompetent, So mediocre people did not resist him, he lived peacefully until the end of his life, can only be said to be blessed by the ancestors, the way of heaven to the grace, to this kind of crazy emperor also has a blessing, among which Tang Yizong is only slightly different from other faint monarchs is that he vigorously advocates Buddhism, and is the power of the country, the luxury of the admiration, the ancestors of the hundred religions in southern Xinjiang is through the shadow of this incompetent Han emperor to lay the foundation for the later unification of southern Xinjiang.
The history of the Tang Dynasty is a history of several twists and turns, and it is also one of the few long-lived dynasties in the history of Shenzhou, which is mainly inseparable from the hard work of several outstanding emperors In the past, after the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, several crises such as the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and the Tang Dynasty was in danger, and the destruction was at hand, but fortunately, the life of the Tang Emperor Li should not be extinguished, and the second half of the Tang Dynasty later appeared Tang Xianzong to Tang Xuanzong and so on several generations after the Tang Emperor worked hard, so that the Tang Dynasty in the second half of the Tang Dynasty actually recovered the vitality of the prosperous era, this is the famous "Yuan and Zhongxing" in history, but "hard work dad loses" , Tang Xianzong tried to turn the tide but couldn't help Tang Yizong, the son of a loser, succeeded to the throne like a loser, he not only gnawed away the achievements of several generations of previous emperors, but also destroyed the last hope of revival of the Tang Dynasty, completely hollowed out the country, and let the political situation fluctuate to the point of being out of control, sure enough, the famous Huangchao Uprising broke out a few years after the death of the faint monarch, and since then it has been out of control, resulting in the Tang Dynasty completely withdrawing from the historical stage.
The name of the first head of the Baizhong Sect is not only unknown to Chu Xunyu and the three of them, but even Beishui does not know, only that the future generations of sect leaders call him the "supreme virtuous and benevolent Mingdian Buddha Southern National Teacher" sect leader, commonly known as the "Mingdian sect leader", how about it? Listen to the name to know that it is not the name of the people of southern Xinjiang, this is thanks to Tang Yizong, a faint king who does not learn and has no skills, he was actually canonized, and the reason for the canonization is simply absurd and ridiculous, just because this sect leader took the initiative to present a treasure of Southern Buddhism, he was given the title, I have to say that it is the misfortune of the Tang Dynasty. The great fortune of the people of southern Xinjiang.
It is said that this Mingdian sect leader is a very intelligent person, and he has been committed to the unification of southern Xinjiang in the first half of his life, but at that time it happened to be "Yuan and Zhongxing" From Tang Xianzong to Tang Xuanzong have always been politically clear, and the royal power has been unified, you must know that since the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, after the fall of the ancient Dian Kingdom, southern Xinjiang has not allowed the independence of the people's livelihood, and the major factions of the Han people in the Central Plains are not allowed to simply establish the sect, so the Ming Dian sect leader is sullen and unhappy that there is no chance, and he has not done much, and he has not been able to realize his ambitions in addition to practice, but out of this Tang Yizong is really a stroke of genius, he loves vanity, likes to arbitrarily add titles, and the emperor is not casual, this is to give people who have made outstanding contributions, whether they are ancestors or present, to commend their great meritsAt the same time, it is necessary to issue an edict, amnesty to the world, etc., which is very cumbersome, so the general emperor will not do this easily, Tang Yizong is an exception, he not only added the title content to himself is enough to compare with Taizong and Xuanzong, but also adds seals to others at will, as long as that person caters to himself, not to mention, this is really a common problem of faint monarchs, and he does not look in a mirror to look at himself, just look at his own little bit of loser's virtue and compare with the wise and martial Taizong and Xuanzong's predecessors, the main thing is to be happy.
And the inheritance of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty is a few ups and downs, the Tang Emperor in some of the Buddha, some of the Buddha, since Wuzong destroyed the Buddha, Buddhism in the Central Plains was once shaken blow, but Tang Xuanzong period has some recovery, but Tang Xuanzong himself is also a mustard, and did not vigorously admire, but in the hands of Tang Yizong's son of the loser, well, the whole subverted everything, with the power of the whole country to revitalize Buddhism, but also called "pray for the people", so it created an unprecedented "Buddha bone" in history Activities, is to welcome the Buddha bones from the temple into the capital, the honor guard stretches for dozens of miles, everywhere you go is not to mercury as a pool, to gold and jade as a tree, labor and money, exhaustion of national strength, at that time there were individual loyal ministers to advise the faint monarch not to do this, but also listed the Tang Xianzong welcome the Buddha bones immediately after the violent death of the allusion, this faint monarch not only did not listen, but also loudly declared that "as long as you can live to see the Buddha bones, even if you die, you can do it" The wild words, it is worth mentioning that he said this sentence and really moved the big mantra, the Buddha bones to the capital after not even two months after this faint monarch died, it was really this kind of tossing the people and the country even the Buddha himself could not stand it, and took him early.
When yes, the Mingdian sect leader just took advantage of this loophole, at that time Tang Yizong had just issued an edict to the four seas that he would welcome the Buddha's bones, and the Mingdian sect leader immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must know that although the Central Plains was founded in the early years, but southern Xinjiang was not affected by anything, Buddhism has been very prosperous, since Tang Yizong succeeded to the throne after the abandonment of the government, inaction, the Mingdian sect leader in the southern Xinjiang secretly developed his own power, has enveloped a group of masters from different races, that is, the first generation of patriarchs who later founded the Baizhong Sect。 The leader of the famous canon learned that Tang Yizong was about to welcome the Buddha's bones, so he immediately racked his brains to get a unique book of Southern Buddhism in the sea, "The Bunsheng Sutra" , It is said that Shakyamuni personally passed on the great disciple Mahaka Ye wrote it in Pali, and I don't know where he got it from, so he quietly rushed to the Central Plains with it and dedicated it to Tang Yizong, Tang Yizong was overjoyed to see it, thinking that this is a good sign of prosperity for the country, you must know that such a precious classic is a treasure of supreme mana in the cultivation world, and it is also a unique rare treasure in the mortal world, so he thinks that the master of the famous canon has merit in protecting the Buddha, and specially gave him the title, which itself attracted criticism from the court at the time, but it could not stop Tang Yizong's supreme mediocrity"Great mana", the master of the Ming Dian Sect got the title and returned to southern Xinjiang with the canonized Golden Scroll Guangzong Yaozu, which is equivalent to taking the license of the Mandate of Heaven and the blessing of the body, and the Jianghu sect that opened the sect or something can no longer be stopped, so the Baizhong Sect has been swaggering since then. After listening to this founding process, Chu Xunyu and the three of them really couldn't laugh or cry, it turned out that how did this Mingdian sect leader start a sect came about, and it was really a faint king, and there were no taboos.
Looking at the lost golden city, if there is anyone in this land of Shenzhou who can be closest to this mysterious lost city, it is none other than the Baizhong Sect, it is the grass-headed son of southern Xinjiang, not only the Han people are looking for it for thousands of years, but even the Baizhong Sect itself is also looking for it, because there was once a rumor in the Baizhong Sect that in addition to a large amount of wealth, there is also a mysterious and unpredictable mana that cultivators dream of, and there are many people who covet the Golden City, but the Mingdian Sect Master is the closed person of all this, creating today's situation.
In general, the head of the Ming Sect should give him a high evaluation, in addition to the creation of the religion is a speculative work other than other measures can be used as a model for future generations, with him as the core of the first generation of founding patriarchs to create the foundation of the prosperity of southern Xinjiang autonomy, he himself set many canons to today are enough for the major factions to learn from, not to mention, just talk about the three iron laws he set: the first is that all ethnic groups in the sect strictly prohibit cannibalism, to work together to eliminate the Han, at that time the famous sect leader fully pointed out that the greed and selfish desires of the Han people are the main culprits that caused the war, and the small land in southern Xinjiang must suffer greatly when the war broke out, so the unity of all ethnic groups was established at that timeSecond, taking the head of the sect as an example, including the big village lord and the big village guy, it is absolutely not allowed to be more than two consecutive terms by any person of the same race, two terms for a total of 50 years, for the cultivators time is really like a white horse passing through the gap, short and pitiful, the 50 years of the two terms must abdicate, and at the same time require that every major event must be consulted together, and the sect leader is absolutely not allowed to make everything privately, if the sect leader is perverse, the five villages have the right to abolish the head of the sect, but on the contrary, the head of the sect wants to abolish the master of the village or the big village, they must consult together, which is why the new policy of the two Miao sect leaders is difficult to implement and is forced to abdicate, but the advantages of this measure outweigh the disadvantages, this effectively avoids the Han dynasty and the family hereditary of the sect, whether it is the head of the sect or the five major villages once the hereditary will cause the result of satisfying selfish desires, only take care of their own clan, The suppression of other small clans must not occur, and it is intended to create a good situation in which all beings are equal and all races join forces; third, that is, the point that Chu Xunyu is most concerned about, the Mingdian Sect Master himself said that all people in the Hundred Middle Sect are not allowed to look for the Golden City, but anyone who violates this law will be regarded as an act of judging the religion, and once it is verified, they will be killed on the spot, and no matter the sect leader or the sect members, they will not be tolerated.
This surprised Chu Xunyu and the others, and Mu Yuan immediately asked, "Why is this?"
Beishui told him that according to legend, since the fall of the ancient Dian Kingdom, only the first leader of the Baizhong Sect in history, the Mingdian Sect Master, has successfully entered the Golden City, this matter is only known to a few people in the sect, according to legend, he is the only one who can come out of the Golden City alive, after coming out, the Mingdian Sect Leader told everyone very clearly that what is buried in the Golden City is an ominous lost force, and this violent force will lead the southern Xinjiang into destruction, so the name of the canon is correct, and since then all the people in the sect are not allowed to look for it, which is why the Baizhong Sect as a fixed point based on the southern Xinjiang has never touched the lost golden city, What is in the Golden City is only known to the Ming Dian Sect Master, and he himself took this secret after the first twenty-five years of office with the original group of patriarchs to retreat, looking for no trace, some people in the sect say that they are like the Han people soared, but the joke, they do not believe in the religion of the Han people at all, and their cultivation is all the art of cupping and descending, how can they be ranked in the immortal class? Some people say that they slipped into the Golden City by themselves and went away, but this kind of rebellious words have not been confirmed.
At this point in the story, Bei Shui deliberately looked at Chu Xunyu and asked meaningfully: "I advise you, even if Ou Chan tells you the content of the ancient song, don't go to the Golden City, otherwise you will bring disaster upon yourself." ”
