Chapter 404: Too Void Dream
After the senior monks of the Gelug sect finished their rituals, the Taoist leader of the Zhengyi sect proceeded to perform the Jiao ceremony.
This time, according to Taoists, the goddess of dreams is an ancient god who was transformed by the dream before the opening of the heavens.
Ji Mengying exclaimed, "It turns out that I was born before the opening of the world?"
"yes. Ji Ao Kendao, "There is a day after the existing Hongjun, you are three years earlier than Hongjun." β
"What a fool!" Ji Mengying looked at him disdainfully, "Taoists only respect Sanqing, and Hongjun is a wild road immortal made up by the folk." β
"Only Taiqing barely has a historical prototype in Sanqing, and the origins of the other two are all fabricated. Ji Aojian said, "The god system of any religion is the gradual accumulation of gods and the absorption of folk beliefs. As long as you have enough influence among the people, you can also become a righteous god. β
"You can give an example to hear it. β
"For example, Mazu. Ji Ao Kendao, "And your old man, it's the same situation." β
"Buddhism and Taoism, such a great religion, whether it absorbs the gods of primitive religions or the gods of folk beliefs, it is like recruiting peace, although it will give high-ranking officials a prominent position, but how can it be possible to give up the position of emperor?"
Ji Mengying sneered, "Taoism respects Sanqing as the supreme god, and has accumulated thousands of years of Dao treasures. And the so-called Hongjun identity of the folk is a higher existence above the Sanqing Daozun, if the Taoist absorbs him, then the boss will have to be changed immediately. β
Ji Aojian touched his nose, "The folk Hongjun, since it has overwhelmed the Sanqing Daozun, it is also above the Buddha and above God." If Taoism absorbs in. Officially respected as the new boss, can't you overwhelm the rest of the sects at once?"
"The supreme god said that if you change it, then what seriousness is there. What will others think of you, and how will they believe you?" Ji Mengying snorted, "All great sects with deep roots must adhere to their own concept of the supreme god, otherwise they will shake the entire classical system, which is the rhythm of seeking death." β
"Is that so?"
"In all dynasties, there has been no shortage of ambitious people who have founded non-mainstream sects. Claiming to have a 'supreme god' above the Buddha's Taoism, he wants to unify the beliefs of various great religions. As a result, this kind of 'supreme god' emerges in endlessly, and Hongjun is just one of them. β
Ji Aojian sighed. "The concept of creating a supreme god in another way, and the delusion overpowers the mainstream, isn't this the method of the Demon Gate?"
"Yes, preaching the supreme god who transcends the major sects. In the eyes of the mainstream. It's all heretical, and if it sounds good, it's called a foreign way, and if it doesn't sound good, it's a demon gate. β
"So Fourth Sister, now that you have a positive result, you don't want your Hongjun Demon Ancestor?"
"This girl hasn't been involved in any of this before!"
Ji Aojian asked again, "If Taoism only respects the three Qings, then how did they absorb the great god Pangu who opened the world and entered the Taoist immortal system?"
"It's simple. Pangu is the embodiment of the Three Qings. β
"What about the great god Nuwa, who made people and make up the sky?"
"It's very simple, Nuwa is also the embodiment of Sanqing. β
"What about your old man who appeared before the opening of the sky?"
"It's simple. I'm also a Sanqinghua ......" Ji Mengying suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Wait, I can't be the incarnation of Sanqing, this is too unindependent!"
"Don't worry, your old man has a serious background. β
"Well, I just heard that it was a dream, what is going on?"
"That's right. Ji Aojian cleared his throat, "Before the opening of the sky, the universe was still in a state of chaos and obscurantism. And in the chaos, many living beings have been born. These creatures were trapped in the darkness of chaos, unable to see, move, or speak, so they had to dream. β
"Dreaming?"
"Yes, so many innate beings, dreaming together, these dreams are getting bigger and bigger, slowly converging together. Many innate beings are in the dream, communicating and discussing with each other. "Ji Ao Kendao," Pangu God was in a dream, and found that everyone wanted a free and open sky to breathe, and in order to realize everyone's dream, he resolutely opened the sky of course. β
"Ahem. Ji Mengying asked, "What happened later?"
"Because this dream provides a platform for the exchange of ideas, so that the great god Pangu can feel the desire of all beings and go to open the heavens, so he also has a merit of opening the heavens, and since then he has life. Ji Aojian said solemnly, "This is where you come from." β
"So to speak. Ji Mengying thought thoughtfully, "It turns out that I am the Internet." β
"Almost, you're a dream network. "Ji Ao Kendo," the name of this dream network, called Taixu Dream Realm, can help them realize their dreams, regardless of immortals. β
"How do you make your dreams come true?"
"The ancient sages worked diligently for the people, and often in a dream, they realized all kinds of inventions that benefited the world. "Ji Ao Kendo," for example, the Suiren clan discovered the principle of drilling wood to make fire in a dream, and realized the dream of artificial fire. For example, there is Chao's family, who mastered the technology of building a house on a tree in a dream, and realized his dream of living for the people. β
"Sounds like I'm great. β
"There's something greater. Ji Aojian continued, "Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor was instructed by the immortals in his dream, so he defeated Chiyou and unified the Central Plains. The holy king Dayu realized the truth that blocking is better than sparse in a dream, so he successfully controlled the water and resolved the flood in Kyushu. β
Ji Mengying nodded, "These all sound good, but there is still a problem." β
"What's the problem?"
"Since I was originally an ancient god of China, why did I come to the Americas to open a dojo, there must be a reason for this. Ji Mengying said, "Those monks explained just now that I came to travel specifically to the Americas, and most of the ambitions I made were aimed at the sentient beings in the Americas. β
"That's a good explanation, you've been in America for more than 2,000 years. β
"yes, why are you here so early?"
"You should know that the Ancient Holy Emperor and Holy King, after the merit of governing the world is completed, he will meet an immortal in a dream to teach him the art of immortality, and go to the sky on a dragon. β
"Yes, the Ancient Sage Monarch is mostly a figure from the Legend of the Immortals. β
Ji Aojian continued, "But after Zulong unified the Seven Kingdoms, abolished feudalism and set up counties, the emperor's authority was so high that it could not be increased, if there was another fate of immortality, it would really violate the balance of heaven and earth." Therefore, at that time, you left Middle-earth and did not reappear in the land of God. β
"What are the consequences if I don't show up in Shenzhou?"
"The consequence is that since the beginning of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, the wishes and dreams of the emperors of the past dynasties to seek immortality can no longer be realized. β
"I see. β
Ji Aojian nodded, "Because you have left Huaxia since the Qin Dynasty, some people in later generations will say that if you meet the Immortal Buddha in your dream, it is all false and hypocritical." β
"What kind of pretense are there?"
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao claimed to have met the old immortal of Nanhua in a dream, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion began. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Jiang claimed to have been awarded the Book of Heaven in his dreams, and since then he has become a giant Kou. So at that time you have already come to the Americas, so these things must be false and have nothing to do with you. β
"Yes, throughout the ages, there have been rebellious ministers and thieves who pretended to be gods and Buddhas to confuse people's hearts. Ji Mengying sighed, "I have been a righteous immortal since ancient times, I have always been generous and kind, and I only do good deeds, how can I help the rebellion?"
"You're right. β
"Then why did I leave Middle-earth and come to America?"
"You see, isn't the level of social and economic development of the Indians the style of our ancient holy king era?" Ji Ao Kendao, "Two thousand years ago, it was the period when the primitive civilization of the Indians began to start. You came here to do your old job, and those inventions and creations in the Indian civilization are all because you provided dreams and summoned the sages of their tribe. β
"Oh. β
"This way, you can easily blend into the Indian gods. Ji Aojian clapped his hands, "Actually, the goddess of dreams has always been there, but the Indians haven't found it before." β
Ji Mengying said with a smile, "I've always been low-key, so it's not surprising that I haven't been discovered before. β
"Now, your main identity in front of the world is the goddess of dreams, your identity in Buddhism is Menghua Bodhisattva, and your face in Taoism is Taixu Yuanjun. β
"Yuanjun doesn't sound good, let's call it a fairy. β
"Because your origins are too old. Ji Aojian pointed out, "The title fairy sounds too naΓ―ve to show your identity as an ancient god. β
"Forget it, Yuanjun will be Yuanjun. β
Ji Ao Kendao, "The ritual of these Dao Masters has ended, and after the wizards of the Indians are enlightened, you can go up and bless them." β
"I know. β
"Remember, you're an actor. β
"Of course I'm an actor, and when I get on the stage, everyone will know how I look. β
Ji Aojian asked curiously, "What are you dressed up today?"
"Well, it's almost time anyway, so I'll let you take a look. β
With a snort, the big black cloak on the dream shadow of Ji immediately flew out.
"This costume turns out to be a witch!" (To be continued......)
