Chapter Eighty-Eight: Reforming Buddhism and Retreating
readx;
At the age of 20, he succeeded to the throne of the emperor, the first country was in Gaoyang, and the capital was built in the ancient city of Gaoyang, so it is also called Gaoyang's family, and Zhuan is the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, and his father is the second son of the Yellow Emperor and his ancestor, Changyi, who was sealed in Ruoshui, married the daughter of the Shushan clan, and gave birth to the daughter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info颛顼 surname is deep and strategic. At the age of fifteen, he assisted Shaohao and governed the Jiuli region. The Yellow Emperor was established as the emperor at the age of 20 because of his holy virtues.
The Xuangong where the emperor lives is the palace of the north, the north is black, and the five elements belong to water, so the ancients said that he was the emperor of water virtue, also known as Emperor Xuan. After he ascended the throne, he strictly followed the policies of the Yellow Emperor and made the society stable and peaceful.
Although the Yellow Emperor quelled the rebellion of Jiuli Chiyou, the Jiuli tribe still believes in witchcraft, advocating ghosts and gods and abandoning personnel, everything depends on divination to decide, and the people have people who are witches to engage in divination, and people no longer sincerely worship the heavens, nor are they at ease with agricultural production. Of course, there are also many demon clans who rely on the art of change to mingle in the world, and ordinary people can't recognize them. With his magical powers, he is regarded as a god and enjoys some earthly incense.
In order to solve this problem, he reformed his religion and personally worshiped the ancestors of heaven and earth with a pure heart and sincere respect, setting an example for all peoples. Strengthen the integration of the various tribes, so that the human race will be more closely united as one. Because the Three Emperors are all the disciples of the Three Qings of the Three Saints of Daomen, and the reason why the Three Emperors can appear in the prosperous era of the Daomen, the immortals of the Daomen have also made great efforts, which is to order the same belief during the reign of Zhuan Xuan, abolish the big and small gods of each tribe's respective beliefs, and vigorously promote the orthodox surname of Daomen. The ban on witchcraft made the Jiuli tribe gradually abandon witchcraft and return to orthodoxy.
He also appointed officials to worship the heavens in order to reconcile with the gods. He also appointed an official Lai in charge of civil affairs to comfort the people, persuade them to follow the laws of nature in agricultural production, encourage people to cultivate fields, and restore normal order to society. Under his leadership, the human race has developed at a deeper level on the basis of the Three Emperors era and entered prosperity. It can be described as an outstanding meritorious service, and he is an emperor who is honored by the United States and has great merit.
Not only did he ban the witch cult that had already been called the twilight of the West Mountain, but he also vigorously suppressed Buddhism, which was extremely powerful and had many followers. In Zhuan's view, Buddhism is the best at demagoguery and recruiting believers by means of spiritual deception, but in fact it has not made any great contribution to the human race, which is in stark contrast to the Taoist sect's efforts for the development of the human race, and is not worthy of enjoying the incense offerings of the human people.
Historically, the will of rulers has had a significant impact on the rise and fall of religion. The ruler holds the authority of the world and controls the power of the people in all directions, and the ruler worships the Buddha and prospers, and the Tao prospers. Under the suppression of Zhuan, Buddhism, which was extremely powerful, was also greatly affected, and many Terran believers who originally believed in Buddhism began to gradually realize the inaction side of Buddhism and began to gradually accept the Taoist belief under the influence of various means.
In the face of the declining number of Buddhist believers and the gradual decline of incense, many great spiritual beings in Buddhism could not sit still. This matter is not only related to the luck of the Great Sect, but also the cultivation method of Buddhism is separated from the Xuanmen and has its own lineage, and it is good at using the belief in incense to cultivate the golden body and the Dharma body. The exhaustion of incense has had a great impact on the cultivation of all the people in Buddhism. As a result, many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and other Buddhas in Buddhism were unwilling to endure such a situation, and went down the mountain one after another to spread the Buddhist scriptures among the human race, trying to revive the incense of Buddhism.
Many of the Buddha's supernatural powers spread the Dharma and rejuvenate the religion in the flood and wilderness, and for a time the Buddha's light and miracles continued to show in various places, and the Buddhist incense that had gradually declined actually showed signs of prosperity again under the efforts of many Buddhist supernatural people. Zhen Xuan was also quite helpless in the face of this kind of scene, after all, although he was the emperor of the people, there were not many supernatural people under his command, and most of them were shallow, and they could not compete with many supernatural powers in Buddhism. So he summoned the matter to the Daomen.
Daomen did not slack off when he heard the news, after all, this matter is related to the luck of the three sects of Daomen, and it is not an idle matter. As a result, the disciples of the three religions of the Sect went down the mountain one after another, and also preached the essence of Taoism among the Terrans, revealing the Taoist Sanqing**, and competing with the Buddhists for the belief in the incense of the Terran Race.
In fact, if you talk about it in detail, because Buddhism has watched from the wall in all the great tribulations, and its strength has not been damaged by half a point, the number of supernatural powers is much more than the sum of the three supernatural powers of the three sects of Taoism, and the strength is still overwhelming the three sects of Daomen. It's just that although the three sects of Daomen have few people, after all, they have accumulated a solid reputation among the human race in the era of the Three Emperors, and their reputation is much better than that of Buddhism, which has always been inactive. Coupled with the support of the emperor, he gradually gained the upper hand in this battle for faith.
In the process of competing for the belief in the incense of the human race between the Daomen and the Buddhism, all kinds of conflicts inevitably arise, because it is related to the luck of the Great Sect and the future of its own fortune. At first, the two sects of Taoism and Buddhism barely managed to maintain peace, but later, I don't know who got up first, and began to fight, and bloody conflicts began to appear and quickly increased.
Originally, there were many people with magical powers in Buddhism, and their comprehensive strength was actually stronger than that of Taoism, but in the conflict, it was Buddhism that suffered more losses and suffered greater losses. It turned out that when there was a conflict between the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, the Demon Sect held by the Great Freedom Heaven was not idle, and the Demon Sect, as the sworn enemy of Buddhism, could not sit back and watch such an opportunity to be missed? Yes, it also intervened in this dispute.
Because the Demon Gate did not preach much in the flood wilderness, if the strength in the flood was concerned, the Demon Gate was far inferior to the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism. But this does not mean that the strength of the Demon Gate is weak, on the contrary, the Demon Sect, which sits on tens of billions of Shura in the Netherworld Blood Sea and countless billions of Heavenly Demons in the Demon Realm, if you exclude the top combat power such as the Saint Sect Master, in terms of the strength of the sect alone, the Demon Gate is the best in the Flood Universe.
The Shura clan is in a secluded place in the Netherworld and the sea of blood must not be lightly released, but the countless billions of heavenly demons in the demon world have no restrictions on their bodies, and whenever the Buddhist supernatural powers fight with the Daomen monks, there will be heavenly demons who leave the demon world and descend on the wilderness, attacking the hearts of the Buddhist monks and helping the Daomen monks. The Buddhist monks need to face the dual attacks of the Taoist monks and the heavenly demons at the same time, and they are naturally invincible, so they suffer heavy losses.
Just when the conflict between the three sects of Buddhism and Demon Dao was getting bigger and bigger, and it was about to trigger a war between the three sects and five sects of Buddhism, Taoism and Demons, the Buddhism sect that suffered a lot in this conflict suddenly retreated, no longer clashed with the Daomen, but returned to the Western Elysium one after another. Even if the influence of Buddhism gradually weakened in the flood, it no longer came forward to try to redeem it.
Faced with this situation, the Dao Sect Immortals were naturally happy, but as the Lord of the Demon Sect, the Demon Dao Saint Da Zitian was secretly vigilant in his heart. As the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, although Buddhism suffered a loss in the conflict this time, but with the strong strength of Buddhism, this kind of loss can be regarded as a skin injury at best, and it has no impact on its foundation.
However, after suffering a loss, Buddhism not only did not exert its strength in order to retaliate, but swallowed this loss and returned to the West behind closed doors, which is really abnormal. Buddhism's actions are likely to be some other shady tricks. Da Zi was uneasy in his heart, so he deduced the heavenly machine and tried to find out the clues, but the heavenly machine was chaotic, and it was obvious that someone had used the great magic power to disturb the heavenly machine in advance.
As for who is disturbing the heavens, there is no need to guess in the sky, and he knows that it must be the three saints of Buddhism. With the strength of the middle-level saints of the Great Freedom Heaven, even the leading person of the three saints of Buddhism may not be able to match him, and only the three saints of Buddhism can hide from him. Since he can't see through the heavens, the surname of Dazi Tiansuo goes with the flow and observes the changes, closes his eyes and realizes the avenue.
