Chapter 603: The Decline of the Demon Clan
Since the Taoism of human beings is derived from the four spirits, most of the Taoism of later generations have deep origins.
Taoism has the so-called nine streams and ten schools, naturally with the oldest Taoist origins, when it comes to the ability of the vertical and horizontal family to fold and respect, the queen mother of the West can be the best.
The Queen Mother of the West is one of the Four Elephant Heavenly Venerables, and she can get the love of Our Lady of Taiyuan, and her status among the fairies is unmatched.
As we all know, the Queen Mother of the West, the Taishang Laojun, and the Buddha of the West Heaven are strong supporters of the Jade Emperor, and they are also people who can influence his decision-making.
The Queen Mother of the West and the Taishang Laojun have always been able to stand tall, in addition to their clever wisdom, they have indeed made a lot of efforts.
Taishang Laojun was reincarnated nine times, as the teacher of the holy king of the human race, it can really be said that he spared no effort, and then taught a few superlative disciples, like Confucius, Yang Zhu, Zhuangzi, and instructed Zhang Tianshi to establish Taoism, so as to achieve the status of the Taoist ancestor.
The relationship between the Queen Mother of the West and the Jade Emperor has always been ambiguous, some say mother and son, some say husband and wife, the reason is that the Queen Mother of the West is an ancient god, and the Jade Emperor's domination of the Three Realms is only a recent thing.
There is a princess Longji in "The Legend of the Gods", who is the daughter of the Queen Mother of the West. Her father is the old Longji of the Dragon Clan, and the "Nanhua Sutra" records that the old Longji is the teacher of Shennong and Yu Hegan.
This is obviously an affair between the Queen Mother of the West and the elders of the Dragon Clan, whether it is for her own status or to protect the Divine Clan, her long-sleeved and good dancing skills can be glimpsed.
After the Great War between Heaven and Man, Emperor Jun disappeared, Emperor Yao divided Dayi to guard the heavenly realm, and the Queen Mother of the West gave him the elixir of longevity, inducing him to establish himself as the emperor of heaven.
But Dayi is attached to Chang'e and does not fall into the trap of the Queen Mother of the West. The Queen Mother of the West couldn't make a plan, and instigated Feng Meng to murder him.
Dayi destroyed the six demon gods, and shot down the nine golden crows, and the strength of the supernatural power is unmatched in the world. Some people suspect that he is the son of Di Jun, who once gave him Tong Gong Su Ji and Kuang Fu Xia Guo, and Dayi's magical powers do not seem to belong to the human race, so there is such a misunderstanding.
In fact, Dayi is the descendant of Taiyu Fuxi, and Fuxi is the reincarnation of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and Pangu's eyes are incarnated. Fuxi's daughter was called Concubine Mi, who was taken captive by Hebo Feng Yi, and later Concubine Mi instructed Da Yi Gongfa, shot Feng Yi blind, and rescued Concubine Mi.
Dayi was once named Zongbu, so later many powerful people liked to use the name of cloth, such as Jibu, Luanbu, Yingbu, and LĂź Bu. Yang Zhu went out of the mountains to preach during the Warring States conflict, and his brother Yang Jian also changed his name to Yang Bu to assist him, so as not to shock the world. But this nickname also reveals Yang Jian's conceit of his own force.
As soon as Dayi died, the Terran not only lost its ability to control the heavenly court, but the six demon saints were ready to move, and Da Shun and Dayu died on the way out.
After that, although the human race occupied the flat land, the seven seas were still entrenched by the dragon clan, the six demon saints lived in Siyi, and there were tigers, leopards, wolves and insects everywhere in the dangerous mountains and evil waters.
When the Yuan Shi Tianzun and the Tongtian Sect Master preached in accordance with the decree of the law, humans and demons were still in the stage of incompatibility, and the so-called 'things gather by like, and people are divided by groups', naturally formed a situation in which the two religions confronted each other. This is also caused by the current situation, and it is difficult for the saints to reverse it.
Although Emperor Jun disappeared, after the Nine Golden Crows fell to the Nether, they could still resurrect. Di Jun is the spirit of the sun, inheriting the body refining method of Pangu, the characteristic of refining the body is the essence of the body, when the time comes, the wildfire is inexhaustible, the spring breeze blows and grows, it is difficult to get rid of it.
Except for Chang'e, who lived in the Guanghan Palace, the others fled to the Nether. The notorious four tyrants and four demon queens of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties were all born to make waves with these golden crows and moon girls.
The scene of the three generations is very different from that of later generations, the patriarchal era has a surname and a name, the surname is used to distinguish the clan, the clan is used to distinguish the noble and the low, the female is called the surname, and the male is called the surname, for example, Qu Yuan is said to be Zhao, Qu, and Jing are all the same surname of the king of Chu, and Zhao, Qu, and Jing are the names below the surname of the king, so Qu Yuan and Jing Cha cannot be called Mi Yuan and Mi Cha, otherwise it will be impossible to distinguish the clan branches.
Three generations have a habit of putting their first names in front of their surnames, just like Tessie's situation.
The demon concubine who is familiar to the world, Da Ji and Mei Xi, Ji and Xi are both surnames, and Da and Mei are names. Taken together, it is a day, which refers to the night scene, and the names of December women are mostly related to the day, but it is the opposite of the day.
Chang'e was originally called Chang'e, but she changed her name because she avoided the Han Wen Emperor Liu Heng's obscenity. The female side was added later, and it was insignificant. This also has the meaning of longevity.
In ancient times, people who knew how to write were very particular about their names, and there were often connections between brothers and sisters, and it was easy to tell from the names that they were a family.
At that time, the power of the demon clan was still very large, and Our Lady of Taiyuan asked the two disciples to preach separately, one was to go with the flow, and the other was to resolve the grievances between the two clans. There is a saying that 'a gentleman does not use his hands', only people who have reached a certain level of moral intelligence will talk about right and wrong, and the rough embryo is always bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and taking it as a matter of harm to others and self-interest.
Yuan Shi Tianzun has been preaching for thousands of years, and there are only a dozen outstanding disciples, and these people are inevitably discriminated against the demon clan. Like the Buddha and all living beings are equal, Zhuangzi's views on all things are even rarer.
Although the wisdom of the sages is higher than that of others, they are also affected by the current situation, and it is impossible to completely transcend reality.
With the competition between the human and demon clans, the demon clan is obviously dwarfed in intelligence, and tens of thousands of disciples are intercepted, and it is inevitable that the mud and sand will fall, these disciples have cultivated the secret method of miraculous skills, and are accustomed to taking strength as the might, and they are getting farther and farther away from pure morality.
On the surface, the two religions are commensurate with each other, and they seem to have some friendship with each other, but in their bones they are jealous of each other, and they are almost incompatible.
When it came to Xia Wei and Shang Xuan, these golden crows and moon girls led the beasts to eat people, trampled on humanity, and the disciples of the sect were in the middle of the troubles, and the result was not only the destruction of the foundation of the sect, after the destruction of Yin Shang by King Wu of Zhou, followed by the Zhou Gongdan system of ceremonies and music, there was a Confucian scholar who took the responsibility of humanity, and between the eight hundred years, Zhuxia gradually formed a unified culture, and there was almost no place for the demon clan in the land of Kyushu.
Interestingly, after the collapse of the sect, the exposition of the religion also collapsed with the cigarette sales, and instead Taishang Laojun founded a unified Taoism to confront Western Buddhism. It can be seen that the preaching of the Yuan Shi Tianzun and the Tongtian Sect Master is really dependent on each other, and after one side dies, the other party also loses its support.
In addition to the native Five Immortals and Five Worms, Buddhism can be said to be a sect that infiltrated the earth and stars very early. Buddhism is a great sect in the vast universe, there are five Buddha kingdoms in space, and there are seven Buddhas in the past in time, and the strength is unfathomable, and even the heavenly court avoids three points.
Buddhism's understanding of the universe is indeed beyond the knowledge of the gods, because the Taoist gods are all in the same lineage as the Pangu God King and the Taiyuan Virgin, and the Buddhists are missionaries in the vast universe. (To be continued.) )
