Chapter 604: Five Elders of the Five Directions
After the naturalization of the Pangu God King, Huangtian and Houtu established the Divine Court in Kunlun Mountain, and later, the Emperor and the Taiyuan Holy Mother were not harmonious, resulting in the division of the Divine Court, and the Emperor Jun and Xingtian competed for the throne of the God King, and never gave up the Kunlun Divine Capital.
It wasn't until the ancestral dragon mixed with the mountains and seas and attacked the god clan that the mountain god Kuafu was defeated and died, and the divine court was shaken, and he was forced to move the clan to the heavenly realm.
As the saying goes, 'lost east, harvested mulberry', although the Protoss has lost the vast territory of the earthly realm, it has expanded the power of the heavenly realm and broadened its horizons.
You must know that the universe is so big, the earth and the stars are like a drop in the ocean, when the Pangu God King opened the heavens and the earth, with such a place of life, the descendants do not want to forge ahead, and they live in Kunlun Mountain for hundreds of millions of years, and only to come to the heavenly realm to find that the universe is vast and unpredictable. After that, the gods deliberately operated, divided into nine and thirty-six days, called Kunlun Mountain as the lower capital, and never returned to the realm.
The expansion of the power of the Protoss gradually had a relationship with the sects in the universe, and the Western religion at the time of the exposition and interception of the two religions was the predecessor of Buddhism, and the three religions signed the god list, and the three religions were the two sects and the Western religion, although Taishang Laojun was known as the great disciple of the Virgin Mary of Taiyuan, he did not establish Taoism at that time. The only one that can compete with the division between the two religions is this Western religion.
Laojun, Yuan Shi, Tongtian's master Fengshen legend is Hongjun Ancestor, Hongjun Ancestor is actually the Taiyuan Virgin, Hongjun is the emperor's name, Taiyuan After the Virgin deposed the emperor, the queen mother was called the system, and the emperor name was continued, until the emperor Jun became the new god king, and the divine power was returned.
As for the titles of ancestor and sir, in fact, they do not reveal any other information about their surnames at all, but most of them are men with such qualifications, and they are occasionally crowned on women's heads, which inevitably makes the laity exclaim.
In the Qing Dynasty, the Queen Mother was called Lafayette, which had the same meaning, Buddha, Bodhisattva, Patriarch, and Mr. had nothing to do with gender at all.
The standard for sealing the gods is to get the immortal way of the upper wisdom and become the way of the gods under the wisdom, some people think that this is the persecution of the sect, but there is no basis for it. The intelligence of the demon clan is originally inferior to that of human beings, and the disciples taught by the Yuan Shi Tianzun and the Tongtian Sect Master are very different, one is that they would rather lack than abuse, there are only a dozen disciples, all of whom are in the realm of golden immortals. The other mud and sand are all down, and those who come do not refuse, use the same ruler to choose, of course, there are many losers. This just shows that the three religions are more just and do not give special care to one party.
Although Buddhism was widely introduced to Middle-earth, after the Eastern Han Dynasty, the contact with the fairy road has been going on for a long time. After the Great War of the Gods, the twelve golden immortals Chinese, Puxian, and Cihang all joined the Western teachings, and the Burning Lamp Daoist became Shakyamuni's teacher, which opened a convenient way for the convergence of Buddhism and Taoism.
Buddhism has five Buddha countries in the universe, and the name of Amitabha Buddha who presides over the Western world is called Amitabha, and the Nine Stars probably belong to the West in the universe. Therefore, Tianzhu Buddhism is particularly praised for the Western world, and its predecessor is also called Western Buddhism.
Burning the lamp Taoist was once the deputy head of the teaching, after the end of the gods, he studied Buddhism, and later went to the Western world for further study like the senior monks Xuanzang and Fa Xian, who later practiced Buddhism, and cultivated the Buddha's fruit.
In his previous life, Shakya was called Zhixian, who was appreciated by the Buddha of the Burning Lamp in the Western world, and was remembered for him, became the host of the Earth Star in the Western world, preached Buddhism in Lingshan, and became a well-known sect in the Three Realms.

Although the Dao of the Immortal Realm is prosperous, and the study of artifacts is becoming more and more sophisticated, the attitude towards the immortals is not as sincere as that of the Nether.
Since the gods moved to the heavenly realm, the relationship between the gods and the living beings in the world has gradually become estranged, because the immortals have an end of life, the heavenly court will also promote some mortals to be earthly gods, usually in charge of the activities of the lower realm, and it has no impact on the pattern of the heavenly court.
Heavenly Court has the so-called five elders of the five directions, and their status is particularly noble. They are the Oriental Chong'en Holy Emperor, the West Heaven Buddha, the South China Sea Guanyin, the Central Yellow Horn Daxian, the North Pole Xuanling, these five are the folk extremely revered immortal Buddha, Buddha and Guanyin needless to say, Chong'en Holy Emperor refers to Emperor Guan, the Three Realms are both saints and emperors except for him, and Emperor Guan is naturally a person who particularly respects grace and righteousness, in the past, the Han did not descend to Cao, Cao Cao sent Zhang Liao to inquire about his tone, Guan Gong said that he and Uncle Liu Huang are righteous brothers, Enru father and son, once you get the news of him, regardless of the difficulties and dangers, you must go to find it. This is Cao Cao's money and beauties can't be compared.
Huangjiao Daxian has said that it refers to the Yellow Turban Zhang Jiao, first, Zhang Jiao got what Nanhua old immortal taught Taiping Taoism, which is regarded as a Fang Shi and others, and has a lot of roots with Taoism, and secondly, the name occupies a corner word, so there is this inference. But this is absolutely impossible, the status of the five elders of the five parties is equal, and Zhang Jiao's historical contribution and reputation are not at the same level as the Buddha, Guanyin, and Emperor Guan.
Huangjiao Daxian is actually the famous Jiang Taigong, these five elders have a lot to do with the Taoist Yin and Yang Five Elements, the East is green, and Emperor Guan wears a green robe, this image is deep-rooted, and it must be not far from the truth.
Jiang Taigong is the most important disciple of Yuan Shi Tianzun, and he is the person in charge of the god list. Assisted King Wen and King Wu to extinguish Zhou, worked hard and made high achievements, and later divided into Qi countries. It is a martial saint who was sacrificed in the lower realm before Guan Gong.
Folklore has it that the position of the Jade Emperor was originally for him to sit, although this is nonsense, it is also a kind of affirmation and incomprehension. What is certain is his outstanding feats, and what is puzzled is that Jiang Taigong has sealed three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods, why he didn't leave a place for himself.
In fact, the Jade Emperor is the son of Fengmeng, and he forced the Xiaojin Wu Zen position to him, which should be a matter of the Xia Dynasty. As the saying goes, Yang Jian's father is from the Xia Dynasty, and the sister of the Jade Emperor secretly married a mortal man to press down under Taoshan, which must have happened after Xiao Jinwu was forced to abdicate.
Yang Jian is the nephew of the Jade Emperor, the three generations of disciples, the battle of the gods in the great feats, according to legend, Yang Jian learned to split the mountain to save his mother afterwards, obviously at this time has rescued his mother, otherwise how can he have the heart to follow the war.
So the Jade Emperor must have sat on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor before this, although Jiang Taigong has great skills and high strategy, although the Jade Emperor is certainly a person, and the Four Emperors do not have a seat for him.
The highest status of the heavenly court is naturally the three Qing and the four royals, and the three Qings are the Taishang Laojun, the Yuan Shi Tianzun and the Lingbao Daojun (Tongtian Sect Master), which is just like the Confucian Taishi, Taibao, and Taifu, although there is no administrative position, but the prestige is very high.
The Six Emperors were originally also up and down the Quartet, the Jade Emperor occupied the top, and the Houtu Emperor occupied the bottom, since the Jade Emperor wanted to be respected and took him out, it stands to reason that the Houtu Emperor should also be taken out.
Interestingly, the one who is excluded is the Emperor Qinghua of the East Pole, and it may be that the Emperor of the Later Soil, as the only empress, has the need for good gifts. Moreover, Qinghua Emperor Yang Zhu is the eldest brother of Erlang God and the grandson of Emperor Jun, not only the Jade Emperor is afraid that he will threaten his position, but the immortals of the Heavenly Master Department probably do not want to see the descendants of Emperor Jun restored.
