Chapter 13 The Relationship and Difference of the World
"Speaking of this, we still have to start with the edict issued by Zhao Heng, Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, as the Jade Emperor, and the title is "Taishang Kaitian Zhifu Imperial Calendar with True Body Dao Haotian Jade Emperor God" to start ......"
On the hospital bed, Zhong Siyu ate a petal of oranges, moistened his throat, and said slowly: "Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng was in Dazhong Xiangfu for eight years, and the Holy Name of the Jade Emperor was "The Jade Emperor of the Jade Emperor for the Taishang Open Heaven and the Imperial Calendar with the True Body Dao Jade Emperor", and when Zhao Ji of Song Huizong was born, the Jade Emperor should be called the Jade Emperor God of Haotian. Don't look at it, this is just a few words, and the middle is very important, not only related to the Great Song Dynasty, but also related to the rise and fall of our Daomen!"
"What do you mean?" asked An Yi.
Zhong Siyu sneered: "It means that he wants to replace the god position of Haotian God with the Jade Emperor!"
It turns out that no matter whether this world or the earth, from the ancient Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the present, all generations have emperors worship the heavens, but the heavens enshrined at that time purely refer to the heavens of nature, that is, "Cangtian" and "Haotian".
Similar to the Great Dao, it is the master of all things in the universe and the origin of the growth and cultivation of all things, so we must not respect the heavens and fear the fate and follow the heavens. At the same time, it is also the supreme deity of Confucian worship!
But if you want to replace Haotian with the Jade Emperor, you want to replace this impersonal god with a personified god. If nothing else, this first violated the territory of Confucianism, although Confucianism also has gods, but this idea comes from the concept of antiquity and the ram school. What is particular about the unity of heaven and man, and the one qiē god is not a personified god, but a law, the law of the creation and operation of the natural universe.
"Is this what God is man?"
"Yes and no. Zhong Siyu didn't wait for comfort to ask again, and continued: "In our Dao Sect, God is divided into innate true saints and acquired gods. In Taoism, the innate true saint is only the embodiment of a certain aspect of the Tao, and it has no specific personality regardless of size. The acquired god is what we generally call God, but it depends on people to achieve it. But there is no god in this world, and only after death. If you can get believers to worship your faith, you can become a god. But ......" Zhong Siyu sold a pass.
"But what?"
I saw Zhong Siyu continue: "But even if you become a god like this, you can't help yourself, and your own god position is completely changed by the change of the thoughts of the people you believe. Afraid that Anyi couldn't understand, Zhong Siyu also explained: "For example, Guanyin Bodhisattva, at the beginning, he would only purify sentient beings, but later he could send children and daughters, and now he even has a part-time position of Yue Lao, so I said that this god said that there is something, and there is no one, because they can't be called alive at all, and if no one believes in it, they will also perish." ”
An Yi didn't expect the gods of this world to be like this, no wonder the heavenly master Zhong Kui has no feelings, he is a puppet who can kill demons, what kind of feelings do you want?
I only heard Zhong Siyu continue: "After all, the people are limited, and they have different beliefs, it is difficult to become a system, and it has not been recognized by the imperial court, that is the yin ritual." Only by obtaining the power of the Son of Heaven to worship and being recognized by the Son of Heaven's dragon qi can he leap to the rank of great god and god!"
An Yixun understood the meaning of Zhong Siyu's words, and secretly said in his heart the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven. I see!
"To get back to the point, behind Song Huizong, there is a master of the Taoist sect, who is also thinking of the opportunity to establish a new god system. Behind the scenes, an ancestor of the old Zhao family was introduced, that is, Zhao Xuanlang, the ancestor of the Song Dynasty. Zhong Siyu said lightly: "That Zhao Xuanlang is what we call the Jade Emperor today!"
"What?!" An Yi exclaimed.
Zhong Siyu suddenly sighed: "Actually, this qiē has something to do with my Maoshan Mountain, just because the person behind this curtain is my predecessor of Maoshan." ”
An Yi was already numb with shock at this time, and listened to Zhong Siyu continue lightly: "This division of the god position is actually to consume the country's luck, and Song Huizong has been a god twice, the first time is my Maoshan shot, and the second time is indeed the ancestor of the Shenxiao faction, Lin Lingsu, who made seventeen emperor-level gods in one go, completely treating luck as cabbage, so messed up, so the Northern Song Dynasty is over!"
During the most prosperous Xuanhe period of the Great Song Dynasty, the Jurchens, who rose from between the white mountains and black waters in the northeast, miraculously destroyed the Great Liao with 700,000 iron horsemen, and then went all the way south to destroy the Great Song Dynasty...... The brilliance of the record is simply incredible, which makes people doubt that they have opened a plug-in. Hundreds of Jurchens raised troops, and in just a few years, they wiped out the Liao State, the largest power in East Asia, and the Great Song Dynasty, the richest country in the world. It can be said that if things are not born, it will be a joke to anyone!
Could it be that the truth behind this is actually like this? At this moment, An Yi felt that all the previous history had been learned in vain......
"Although in folklore, the Jade Emperor is the supreme lord of the Heavenly Court, this is never officially recognized. The supreme lord in official recognition has always been Haotian God. It can be traced back to the Yin Shang dynasty to the Qing dynasty...... This is the supreme god of China, or at least the official supreme god. Since the Song Dynasty, no dynasty has officially worshiped the Jade Emperor. But the folk have been widely circulated, so this Jade Emperor still has it. ”
"In other words, what Jade Emperor and Heavenly Court are completely for people, if no one in the world believes it, the Heavenly Court Immortals will dissipate?" An Yi concluded.
Seeing Zhong Siyu nodding, An Yi couldn't help asking: "What about the underworld? Also, since there are no immortals, what kind of Tao is still cultivated." ”
According to legend, the underworld has existed since the beginning of heaven and earth, and it is also said that the underworld was created by the ghost of the first person to die, and no one knows its origin. Zhong Siyu pondered for a moment and said: "In fact, there is a legend that the underworld was created after the death of the ancient Taoist masters, and we and other cultivators, if they do not become immortals, if their own merits are enough, they are mostly ghosts and gods of the underworld after death." But the matter of becoming an immortal is illusory, and it is still mostly rumors, and no one can really confirm it. ”
It's merit again! An Yi frowned, not only because there is no real heaven in this world, but there is a real earth, so strange, different from the world of chatting. Moreover, because this merit is found in any world, is it universal?
Shaking his head and shaking off this unrealistic idea, he only listened to Zhong Siyu continue: "The affairs of this underworld are too mysterious, although there have always been Taoist masters who have entered, but they have never mentioned it, and now the cultivation world is withering and lacking aura, if you want to find out what is going on in the mansion, I am afraid that you will have to wait until after death." ”
......
The conversation lasted for a long time, and after the conversation, An Yi had doubts about the two worlds of the past life and the present life.
The reason is that as Zhong Siyu said later, the Maoshan faction and the Shenxiao faction had completely lost their reputation after the Great Song Dynasty was destroyed, and of course the two factions wanted to change.
Finally, in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the opportunity came.
Maoshan sent a master to calculate that there would be a great change in the land of China, and it would be ruined by a small country.
In order to restore their own reputation, the two factions jointly cast spells in a vain attempt to tamper with the fortunes of the Chinese country, but in the end, although it was successful, it also affected the entire monastic world, and since then, the cultivation of human monks has become more difficult.
This made An Yi have to wonder, if the Maoshan faction did not intervene, would the world also come to an Eight-Nation Alliance and a Nanjing Massacre.
To be more precise, if Maoshan doesn't intervene, is this world the same as that world, or is the two worlds one world?
On the other hand, even if Maoshan didn't interfere in the world, there weren't many cultivators in the world, at least An Yi hadn't seen anyone who really cultivated.
Does this mean that the "Heavenly Dao" of these two worlds deliberately wants to weaken the power of the cultivation world? Moreover, listening to what Zhong Siyu said, there were still people who had passed through the Yin Body, that is, the soul went out of the body and entered the underworld, but now it can't, does it mean that the underworld has also undergone some great changes?
This is an unsolvable problem, at least with An Yi's current cultivation, he can't figure it out even if he wants to break his head.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and Anyi said goodbye to Zhong Siyu and plunged into the Daba Mountain Range, which was close at hand.
Peaks and peaks, rolling mountains and dense forests, gurgling water, blue waves and clear pools, there are silkworm clusters and fish, there are blue birds and flying apes, although it is late autumn, but Xiao Xiao loses the leaves, and the autumn style is remnant of the sun, which is also a unique taste.
"Only in this green mountain and green water should it be the residence of those who cultivate the Dao of Immortals! The reinforced concrete in the city, PM2.5, is really enough. ”
There is no purpose, naturally will not look for the road, or along the stream, or look for birds, or take advantage of the autumn wind, free and easy in this "autumn wind under the clouds, Cangshan between turbulent flow" in the scenery, fresh air, although not as good as the world of chatting, but also less the smell in the city, comfortable mood unconsciously more comfortable.
There are spices, fires, tents and other things needed in the Tianshu space, so Anyi is not in a hurry to find a place to stay, and he stays in the wild for several days, looking for the ideal residence in his heart.
Suddenly, one day, comfortably over a high mountain, around a dense forest, now there is a quaint small village, by the mountains and rivers, green tiles and white walls, occasionally cracks and dots, although dilapidated, but more a trace of charm.
The village is connected by patches of trees. The courtyard of the village is jagged, and the weeds and moss on the blue tiles reveal the long age of the old house.
There are patches of terraced fields on the mountain behind the village, and the slanting sun and sunset stretch the figure of the peasants going home, which is beautiful and bleak. In the village, there are ponds, ancient wells, and dwellings, like an ancient picture scroll.
Compared with the bustling and noisy urban area, the village here is a little dilapidated. But it is better to be quiet and peaceful, and at a glance, Comfort has already decided to live here.
Because it was getting late, An Yi was not in a hurry to go down the mountain, but planned to stay on this mountain for one night, and then go down the mountain tomorrow, and find the village chief to see if he could buy a piece of land and build two houses.
I found an ancient tree, jumped comfortably to the branch, and was not afraid of falling, leaning on the trunk and falling into a deep sleep......
