Chapter 139: After Journey to the West, Heavenly Court Sent Troops to Capture the Three Holy Mothers
The vastness of the prehistoric times is beyond the imagination of modern people. Di Xu has been traveling around the Great Continent since the Lich War. Every time he visits the Great Continent, he finds it astonishing and unreal. The area of ??the Kunlun Mountains alone is ten thousand times that of the earth, let alone a quarter of the continent. However, since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the human race has unified Dongsheng Shenzhou, but looking south to the continent, there are many countries with many monsters. But now, although the princes coexist in the entire continent, the tradition still exists. On the surface, the Eastern Central Plains is still unified.
Seventeen years after the journey to the West began, Tang Sanzang and his party finally arrived in the West and obtained ninety-nine and eighty-one volumes of the Scripture. The four Tang Sanzangs were also rewarded by heaven for preaching to the world and gained a lot of merit. Among them, Tang Monk recovered his own memory and reached the peak of Golden Immortal. He only needed to fuse the memory of his predecessor to achieve breakthroughs one after another, or one step closer; Sun Wukong They also successfully entered the realm of Da Luo and became a master; Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing both gained something.
The four of them came on foot, and now they have become immortals. Many Arhats, Jialan and other Buddhist disciples escorted them back in the air.
When Tang Monk returned to the court, the whole court was shocked. Tang Taizong personally went out of the city to welcome him, and all the people in the sky greeted him. At this moment, Tang Seng and the other four people definitely became the protagonists in the world. No one was not watching them, and Journey to the West also achieved their goal at this time.
Three days later, Tang Monk took a bath, burned incense, and opened an altar. Tens of millions of residents in Chang'an City came to listen. Among them, the monks were even more fascinated by what he said, and all of them wanted to worship him as their teacher. However, Tang Monk refused and returned to Bailu Temple after giving three sermons, attracting countless people to visit Bailu, either as disciples or for advicefor a time. Bailu Temple surpasses Shaolin Temple. Become the authentic sect of Eastern Buddhism and Taoism.
In the 123rd year of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Buddhist teachings spread throughout Chang'an through the sermons of Tang Monk. Taizong took advantage of this opportunity to vigorously promote Buddhism and mixed it with imperial teachings, saying that the emperor was the master of the world, and everyone in the world followed it.
His move made people around Chang'an respect the dynasty even more. Many children have even reached the point of being brainwashed. As a result, the original compassionate intention of the Buddhist Taoist priests and Zhunti Taoists was changed to only seek the afterlife rather than the present world, making the people more obedient to the control of the imperial power.
"In this way, a hundred years later, countless small princes chose to stand on their own, and the scene of troubled times actually appeared, and the appearance of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was restored. The only difference is that there are shadows of sects and immortals behind all the countries. After all, the earthly immortal world is full of immortals, because the cultivation level has reached the realm of immortals, as long as they don't massacre mortals like the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. , it is not that today¡¯s Earth Star cultivators in the human world can only ascend and cannot stay after reaching the Hedao realm and breaking through, but cultivators below the Hedao realm cannot violate the laws of heaven and participate in mortal wars, and cannot attack mortals without reason.
All smart people in the world have seen this, but as the emperor, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty could not accept it. He wanted to send troops to quell the rebellion one by one, but was blocked by the ministers. He was not angry and slaughtered court officials in the Tang Dynasty, including There are many Buddhist people. This suddenly made Buddhism angry, so Wu Zetian, who borrowed the help of a rarely seen hen in millions of years, immediately invaded the court, murdered Taizong, and established Wu Zetian, who had been trained by Buddhism since childhood, as emperor. This was the Great Zhou Dynasty. Named "Holy Emperor".
The establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty temporarily calmed down the world, and all the princes hid in their own countries to stabilize the situation.
After that, Wu Zetian reigned for 15 years; Zhongzong Li Xian reigned for 6 years; Ruizhong Li Dan reigned for 8 years; a total of 29 years passed to Xuanzong Li Longji, the leader of the Zhongxing Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty. After the Anshi Rebellion, the matter of Concubine Yang became a big mess. . At the same time, Emperor Xu also began to teach martial arts in the human world and deepen the spread of martial arts within human organizations. However, due to the competition among many sects, there was no space for teaching among the countries. Although martial arts is considered a Tao but not a religion, There is no need to preach, and martial arts is not a big religion. It is like the previous Jie Jiao, which teaches everyone without distinction. The difference is that the people taught by Jie Jiao are all accepted into the sect, while martial arts is taught to others, and other people do not You need to join the martial arts, but you will not be taught the profound martial arts methods. You can only understand and create on your own, but this is okay. The martial arts must truly reach the fairyland. Now both Buddhism and Taoism have learned the martial arts methods and created their own sects. martial arts. It is also because of this that all the saints, immortals and Buddhas know the power of martial arts to spread and the completeness of the purpose of martial arts, so they do not allow it to spread in the countries. Buddhism even over-promotes martial arts as an alternative technique. When he ascended to immortality, the Taoist sect remained silent and allowed Buddhism to spread like this. However, the combat power before becoming an immortal in martial arts was very different from that after becoming an immortal. The combat power after martial arts was cultivated in the immortal realm was also very different from that in the mortal realm. Not to mention that immortals are good at cultivating. , Immortal martial arts is difficult to cultivate, and there is no difference at all between martial arts monks and Qi practitioners who have not achieved the same level of combat power in Immortal Realm. Therefore, few people practice martial arts, and many people use martial arts as a foundation-building method for cultivating immortals and practicing Qi. Even so, Emperor Xu didn't care, but still spread the art of martial arts training, because Emperor Xu knew that although he didn't know whether martial arts would be carried forward in later generations, martial arts is the most profound thing among ordinary people.??In my heart.
"After all, the immortal way is elusive, and mortals may not see immortals in their lifetimes, but martial arts has always appeared in front of mortals, and the skills of martial arts can be regarded as one step toward immortality. Before becoming an immortal, one can cultivate to the highest level like a qi practitioner introducing qi into the body, which is the innate state of martial arts. If one breaks through the innate state, he will reach immortality and shatter the void in one step. However, not many people can achieve such a state, because the innate state can only extend the life of those who practice martial arts for up to a hundred years. It is naturally difficult to transform from a mortal to an immortal within a hundred years, so few people can succeed, so there are also very few practitioners. Very few.
At the same time, a big storm was sweeping through the heaven.
¡®How can this really be the case?
What courage! "
The Lingxiao Palace of Heaven
There was a ¡®pop¡¯ sound. The aloof Jade Emperor Haotian angrily slapped the imperial table in front of him with his palm.
shouted angrily. Obviously he was extremely angry
With one palm strike, the imperial table in front of him suddenly exploded. Scattered into countless pieces!
"As a heavenly being
Not only does it not lead by example
On the contrary, it violates heaven
Privately matched with mortals.
She still has my heaven in her eyes
Where to place the majesty of heaven? Where is the King of Tota? "As the Jade Emperor, Haotian shouted to the immortals below.
The following is the tower king Li Jingwen
He immediately took a step forward and replied: ¡®I¡¯m here! "
Looking at Li
Haotian Jade Emperor said: ¡®Li
I order you to immediately go down to the lower world and capture the Three Holy Mothers. I will punish her severely! "
? ¡®According to the order! ". Li Jing bent down and cupped his fists. He said.
He strode out of Lingxiao Palace.
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother established this heavenly rule. The original intention is to prevent one person from attaining enlightenment. The phenomenon of immortals, chickens and dogs. What he didn't expect was just that. Those who repeatedly violate this rule. He is actually his closest relative! First, my sister Yao
The latter is the daughter Qixian
Now it¡¯s his niece, the Third Holy Mother. Naturally, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother have been plotting against her ever since her younger sister.
But because of his position as Emperor of Heaven, he had to act according to the rules of heaven. How could he not be angry because he was so helpless? Although the Emperor of Heaven is ostensibly called the Supreme of Heaven and Earth, in addition to having greater power, he has to act in accordance with the rules of Heaven in other matters.
