Liaozhai: Starting from Inheriting Taoism

Chapter 357 Three Cleansing Avatars and Three Corpses

Other demon saints in the demon world don't know Yuan Zhuo's thoughts yet. They are still staring at Yuan Zhuo's army at this time. In their view, Yuan Zhuo will definitely send troops to the surrounding area, but they don't know who will be next. In Honghuang, there will definitely be someone who joins forces with others to kill Yuan Zhuo first.

But this is the world of demons, a world where the strong are respected. The nine great demon saints fought against each other, and the battles continued. The hatred between them is much greater than the hatred between them and Yuan Zhuo. I want them to unite and hand over their backs. For one's own enemies, that is more difficult than anything else.

Therefore, they could only remain on guard, ready to deal with Yuan Zhuo's attack at any time.

But they all know the truth, Yuan Zhuo naturally knows it too, at this time he will not really attack Sizhou, one is to wait for the Queen Mother to help take Siji down, and the other is Yuan Zhuo knows, Sizhou's The Demon Sage will not be on guard all the time, they will relax their vigilance in a short time, and then is the time for him to leave the West Continent and win the Four Continents in one fell swoop.

Datang is the largest dynasty in Nanzhan Buzhou, but the Tang Dynasty only occupies less than one-thousandth of Nanzhan Buzhou's territory. It's not that there are too many countries in Nanzhan Buzhou, but the four major continents Vast, even after several calamities, there are still large areas in Nanzhan Buzhou that are in a desolate state, and there are even many places that have not been discovered, and there are even many places that even if people have lived, they still live a primitive tribal life , is far from being comparable to Datang.

Although the human heart is the driving force behind development, it is also the most complicated. Tathagata said this when evaluating the four continents: I look at the four continents, and the good and evil of all beings are different from each other. Courtesy, clear heart and peaceful spirit; people in Luzhou in the north, although they like to kill, just because of living, they are clumsy and love vegetables, so they don’t practice much; Everyone has a long life; but those who look at Buzhou in the south are greedy for lust and enjoy misfortune, kill more and fight more, which is the so-called fierce field of tongue, a sea of ​​right and wrong.

Tathagata's comments on the other three continents are all good, but Nanzhan Buzhou has been belittled to the extreme. One is that people's hearts are complicated, and then Tathagata does not like the human race, a race that is complicated and extremely civilized. Buddhism preaches , but what they like is the kind of fool, and the human race is too complex and has too much desire, so it is not suitable for Buddhism to control.

In the final analysis, what Buddhism wants is just a group of obedient nodding bugs. Unfortunately, the human race will never be like this.

Just like what the Tathagata said to Sanzang: Your eastern land is the Southern Bubu Continent, because the sky is high and the land is thick, things are abundant and people are dense, you are greedy and kill more, you are more promiscuous and deceitful, you are more deceitful and deceitful; you do not follow Buddhism and do not seek good fortune. Disrespect to the Three Lights, disregard the five grains; disloyal and filial, unrighteous and benevolent, conceal one's heart and self, fight with others, kill lives and animals.He created boundless crimes, full of sins and evils, resulting in the calamity of hell, so he fell into the nether world forever, suffered from the many grinders, and transformed into animals.There are so many shapes with fur tops and horns, which pay off their debts and feed their meat to people.It is for this reason that they fall forever into Abi and cannot be exalted.Although Confucius established the teaching of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, emperors successively ruled that there were vagrants who were punished by strangling and beheading.
Tathagata likes Nanzhan Buzhou, and he hopes that Nanzhan Buzhou, one of the four major continents, will become his Buddhist pure land, but he doesn't like Nanzhan Buzhou, which is dominated by human race. One reason is that Taoism hinders, and more importantly, the human race in Nanzhan Buzhou does not need Buddhism. Today's journey to the west is an opportunity for Buddhism. Datang is the largest dynasty in Nanzhan Buzhou , as long as Datang can be controlled, Nanzhan Buzhou will naturally be under control.

Originally, all of this was planned, and the development was very good. Unfortunately, with Ye Feng around, the Buddhist plan was doomed to fail.

Ever since Yaochi failed in conquering the Xiantian Shinto, and after returning to heaven, it announced that all the rights to the land would be handed over to the Xiantian Shinto, and the Xiantian Shinto spread more legitimately in Nanzhan Buzhou.

Datang had Datang Wulue, and in a short period of time, it had assembled an army of over one million, and an army of three million was actively training as a reserve army.

On the border, there are twelve famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, including Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Su Dingfang, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Li Xiaogong, Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji, Zhang Liang, Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin, and Cheng Yaojin. More than [-] people, less than tens of thousands, marched in twelve directions, with only one goal, and that was to take down the entire Nanzhan Buzhou in the shortest time.

Although Nanzhan Buzhou has the most living creatures, most of them are ordinary creatures. It is a great thing to have a meager cultivation base. How can it be the opponent of Tang Jun who is practicing civil and martial arts.

With the cooperation of Xiantian Shendao, Tang Jun didn't have to bother to appease the people at all. As Tang Jun blossomed in all directions, altars of Xiantian Shendao began to be erected on every land in Nanzhan Buzhou, enshrining the souls of the primordial spirit More and more, incense and luck are slowly gathering in a steady stream, and there are immeasurable merits and virtues added to the body, and the cultivation of the soul is improved step by step. According to this development, perhaps in the three-clear avatar, The first to break through the late quasi-sage may be the last split clone of the Yuanshen.

It is not just the innate gods that are developing. Yuanzheng proposed to Li Shimin to enlighten the foolish people, and set up righteous academies in various places in Nanzhan Buzhou. Taking counties as units, righteous academies sprang up from the ground. Calculated carefully, the military expenditure of the Tang army was even It is not comparable to the investment in building Zhengqi Academy, but after knowing that it is Yuanzheng's proposition, even the Tang military dare not have any opinions.

After all, Yuanzheng had thought of countermeasures long ago. The martial arts of the Tang Dynasty recorded in detail the methods of martial artist cultivation, and one of the shortcuts was to cultivate with the help of military spirit and evil spirit. The most famous generals of the Tang Dynasty grew rapidly with the help of evil spirit and military spirit, and even the most talented Li Jing and others had already broken through to the realm of the king of divine will.

However, when the evil spirit enters the body, while gaining a soaring cultivation, there is no price, and it is enough to have a firm mind. If the mind is not firm, the evil spirit will even directly attack the stupid general, or even make him go mad.

However, Yuanzheng has thoughtfully found a solution for them. As long as they feel that the evil spirit is going to affect their sanity, they can quickly find the students of the Zhengqi Academy to help suppress the evil spirit with righteousness.

If you think about your own life is in the hands of the Zhengqi Academy, what do you dare to object? Over time, the Tang Dynasty, which had been fighting constantly, should have more status as a general, but it has always been inferior to civil servants, and Li Shimin may not I know that at this time, 80.00% of the civil servants in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty are from the Zhengqi Academy, and even in the Tang Dynasty at this time, Yuan Zheng's words are more useful than him, the king of the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that Yuanzheng is not in office, and he doesn't usually participate in political affairs. Li Shimin always comes to ask for advice on anything, which makes Li Shimin never vigilant against Yuanzheng at all.

In this way, Ye Feng's goal of developing his kindness clone and obsession clone with the help of Datang was achieved.

With the expansion of Zhengqi Academy, more and more people are learning Ye Xue, obeying Ye Xue, and taking Zhengqi songs as classics. Ye Xue is flourishing, and Yuanzheng, the founder of Ye Xue, naturally also rises with the tide, and his cultivation level is getting deeper and deeper. Measurement.

At this time, Buddhism still focused its attention on the four people who learned the scriptures, and did not notice the changes in the Tang Dynasty at all.

······
Ba Jie's son-in-law failed to make it, but was hung on a tree and frozen overnight, and was teased by the monkey sand monk. It was impossible to lie down, and he had to start again the next day.

But it is said that there is a mountain in Hezhou, Xiniu, between Daleiyin Temple and Zhoutu. This mountain does not belong to Buddhism, nor does it belong to Taoism. There is no general, and even this mountain can accept disciples and grandchildren on its own, and develop the mountain gate. It can really be said to be a country within a country.

said that the name of this mountain is Longevity Mountain; there is a temple in the mountain called Wuzhuang Temple;

That's right, it is the ancestor of the Earth Immortal who is also famous among the three thousand mortals in the Zixiao Palace——Zhen Yuanzi Daxian, who has a cultivation base of the late quasi-sage, and is only one step away from becoming a saint, which is enough to say He is the most powerful person under the sage, and now the sage is out, no wonder the Buddhism dare not provoke him.

Immortal Zhenyuanzi has two world-renowned treasures, one of which is the ultimate innate spiritual treasure that he carries with him, the book from the ground, one of the three books, and a peerless spiritual root that ranks among the top ten innate spiritual roots.

This spiritual root is a spiritual root that was born when the chaos was first divided, when the world was not yet opened.

Covering the four major continents of the world, only the Wuzhuang Temple in Hezhou, Xiniu, is called "Cao Huan Dan", also known as "Ginseng Fruit". It blooms in 3000 years, bears fruit in 3000 years, and it takes another 3000 years to ripen, and it takes 1 years to eat.It seems that in these ten thousand years, only thirty fruits have been produced.The appearance of the fruit is similar to that of a child under three dynasties, with all four limbs and five sense organs.If a person is predestined, if he smells the fruit, he will live 360 ​​years; if he eats one, he will live 7000 years.

For ordinary people, longevity is naturally something that can be met but not sought after, but for Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, it is just a matter of fruit.

On this day, Great Immortal Zhenyuan received a brief note from Yuanshi Tianzun, inviting him to listen to the "Hunyuan Daoguo" in the Miluo Palace in the upper Qing Dynasty.

Hunyuan Daoguo is the sage realm that Zhenyuanzi has been dreaming of all these years. Now that Yuanshi Tianzun is speaking about the Dao, how can Zhenyuanzi miss it? It was just his calculation the day before yesterday that an old friend will come today, and he wanted to receive it personally , I don’t want to just receive an invitation from Yuanshi Tianzun. Although he and Jin Chanzi have some old friends, and they are very optimistic about him, but comparing the two, it is more important to listen to Hunyuan Daoguo, so he explained that the youngest under the sect The two boys of Qingfengmingyue took the 48 apprentices under their sect and went to the Qingtian.

It's not that there are only 48 apprentices under Zhenyuanzi's sect. As the ancestor of the earth immortal, although he rarely accepts apprentices, from the dragon and phoenix catastrophe to the present, after years of accumulation, there are also countless disciples, but there are only 48 direct disciples, and the rest are only registered. Forget it, they are scattered all over the Longevity Hill, and unless there is an altar to preach, it is easy not to enter the Five Villages Temple.

Not long after Zhen Yuanzi left, Xuanzang and his disciples came to the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.

They walked for a few days, but they couldn't find a place to stay. They could only eat and sleep in the open. When they were hungry, they ate wild fruits to satisfy their hunger. When they were thirsty, they drank spring water to quench their thirst. They were already exhausted. How could they not be unhappy to see such a good place? .

It's just that this view is not simple at first glance, and Xuanzang is not easy to let people go straight.

Come to watch at the gate, and see that the pine slope is cold and the bamboo path is quiet.The white cranes send clouds to and fro, and the monkeys offer fruit when they go up and down.The pool in front of the gate is wide, the shadows of the trees are long, the stones are cracked, moss and flowers are broken.The palace is full of purples, and the towers are ethereal and Danxia falls.

The real one is Fudiling District, Penglai Yundong.There are few people in Qingxu, and the quiet way is born.

Looking at this scene, the monkey actually felt that this view was not much worse than his Huaguoshan Water Curtain Cave, or even a bit worse.

Xuanzang stepped forward to check, and saw a stele on the left side of the mountain gate, with ten large characters on the stele, which read "Longevity Mountain blessed place, Wuzhuang Guantian."

Bajie and Drifting also noticed the words on the stele, and their hearts moved, could it be where that person is, and they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, you must know that Zhen Yuanzi is also a frequent visitor at the Pantao Festival, how could Bajie and Drifting have never heard of this It's just that although the two of them have some status in the heavenly court, they are still far behind this one. Therefore, at the Pantao Meeting, Zhen Yuanzi often occupies the chief position, and they can only look at it from a distance. I didn't say a word, I just heard that this person who lives in Wuzhuang Temple and is also here in Hezhou, Xiniu, is a supernatural power comparable to the Jade Emperor.

Thinking of this, Bajie and Drifting didn't dare to be careless, and became a little nervous. After all, although they heard that this person has a good temper, they have never interacted with real people, so no one knows whether it is true or not.

But the monkey has never met Zhen Yuanzi, although he also participated in a peach feast, but the monkey joined the table early, messing up the peach feast, and happened to miss Zhen Yuanzi.

The four continued to walk in, and saw a pair of couplets on the two gates: Immortal Immortal Mansion, a family with the same longevity as the sky.

When the traveler saw it, he smiled and said: "This Taoist is talking big to bluff people. When my grandson made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace 500 years ago, I never saw such words at the head of the Taishang Laojun's gate."

From the monkey's point of view, the Taishang Laojun is already a first-class Taoist in heaven and earth, and now there is someone who is louder than the Taishang Laojun, isn't it just bragging?

"Wukong, don't be unreasonable, hurry up and call the door."

The monkey didn't dare to refute, and hurried forward to call for the door, Qingfengmingyue came out after a while, looked at Xuanzang and his party of four, finally fixed his eyes on Xuanzang, knowing that this is the one that Zhenyuanzi told him to welcome.

This is an old friend of my master. As for the three monkeys, although they look ugly, Qingfengmingyue looks like a child, but they are also tens of millions of years old. I don’t know how many monsters uglier than monkeys. Fussing like a layman, he bowed his back and stretched out his hand to Xuanzang: "Teacher, I'm sorry, please sit down."
