Rebirth of the Great Wilderness, I shall mention it

Chapter 231 The Great Prosperity of Buddhism
After Wu Meiniang became emperor, she called herself Emperor Zetian, and was known as Wu Zetian in history.

This Wu Zetian was originally the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, in order to plan the prosperity of Buddhism.At this time, although she has not recovered the memory and cultivation of her previous life, the number of days has already determined everything.

One year after Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor, he built Buddhist temples in the land to improve the status of monks.As for Confucianism and Legalism, Wu Zetian adopted two completely different attitudes.Wu Zetian suppressed Confucianism, suspended the imperial examinations, and prevented Confucian students from having a bright future; he reused legalist cruel officials, abused lynching, and made the people change their colors when they heard of Legalism!
Thanks to Wu Zetian's instigation, and after Tang Sanzang survived the nine-nine-nine-eight-one disaster and brought back the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures from Lingshan in the West, everyone in the Tang Dynasty suddenly knew about Buddha, Buddhist temples and temples were built one after another, and incense was burned every day. There is an endless stream of people praying to the Buddha and asking for their children to be safe.

Thirty-three days away, Taiqing, in the Bajing Palace.

Yuan Yuan Tianzun looked anxiously at Lao Tzu who was sitting on the cloud bed, and said worriedly: "Nowadays, the general trend of Dao has emerged, and Buddhism has flourished since the spread of Buddhism to the east. , but we can no longer sit and watch them continue to be happy, brother, what good strategy do you have?"

Lao Tzu sighed secretly, did not answer Yuan Tianzun's question, but said: "Taoist Sanqing is indispensable, we should wait for Junior Brother Tongtian to come to discuss this matter!"

Yuan Yuan Tianzun frowned when he heard the words, and opened his mouth to say something, but after thinking about it, he held back!

"Eldest brother, why do you want to come here?"

A voice came, but it was the Master Tongtian who had arrived.Master Tongtian asked the Taishang Laojun expressionlessly.

Before Lao Tzu could say anything, the Yuan Tianzun under him got angry first, he frowned and reprimanded: "Brother Tongtian, senior brother is the leader of our Sanqing, how can you be so rude?"

"Sanqing, now you realize that we are still Sanqing, ha ha!" the Master Tongtian said with a sneer upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Laozi sighed secretly: I think Tongtian has been brooding over the matter of conferring the gods back then, but I owed him a lot with myself and Yuanyuan, so I didn't want to say anything!Thinking of this, Laozi had no choice but to say: "This time I invited you to come here, but it is because of the Western Buddhism!"

As soon as the words were finished, the Master Tongtian snorted softly, and Lu Chu showed disdain, but he didn't say anything.

"Jieyin and Zhunti are going too far now. They actually turned the world upside down, let the woman who was reincarnated from Guanyin proclaim the emperor, preached Buddhism, and suppressed the three schools of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism. Senior brother, you are the leader of human religion, but this matter is You can't sit idly by!"After thinking about it, Yuan Tianzun said angrily.However, when he mentioned Guanyin, he still felt sorry for the only female disciple under his sect.

"Now that the West is booming, the number of days is in its hands, but we cannot force it, it is against the law of heaven!" Lao Tzu said softly after hearing this.

Master Tongtian gave a sneer and said, "The way of heaven is like this. Even if we are sages, we can't do anything about it!" After saying that.It has already left the palace gate and disappeared in the eyes of Lao Tzu and Yuan Yuan Tianzun.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Yuan Tianzun snorted coldly.Said Laozi: "This Tongtian is getting more and more rude!"

"It's because you and I did things too badly back then, which made him still unable to let go!".Lao Tzu sighed lightly.

Yuan Yuan Tianzun nodded, and said helplessly: "Tongtian's words are not without reason. The way of heaven is like this. What can we do? But the reincarnation of the way of heaven, even if it is flourishing today, there should be a time for me to rise in the East! Poor Taoists can watch them do whatever they want, but I can’t do this.”

"Then what do you intend to do, Junior Brother?" Lao Tzu asked.

Yuan Tianzun snorted lightly.He said gloomyly: "They deceive people too much! They can send people to reincarnate in the lower world, so can't I do it? It's just that the karma between me and those two in the West was too deep in the battle of Conferred Gods back then, but now it's inconvenient to come forward directly .So I have to trouble you, Senior Brother, with this matter!"

Hearing this, Lao Tzu was silent for a long time and said: "The two in the west are too impatient! Come back, junior brother, I have my own concerns about this matter!"

Yuanyuan Tianzun nodded when he heard the words, and saluted Laozi Jishou.Then he left the Bajing Palace alone.He doesn't use supernatural powers either.Just walking slowly in the chaos.Not long.Then he returned to Qingxu Heaven.Just now I sat down on the futon in the bamboo house.Immediately with a smile on his face, he said: "Two fellow Taoists in the west, you are so courageous relying on the number of days in your hand! Now you have angered the elder brother, let's see how you end up in the future!" After finishing speaking , but he shook his head again, watching the changes below.

Shangqing Tiantian, Biyou Palace.Master Tongtian laughed loudly and said: "Okay! Okay! Okay! You are really going with the sky, but there are some things that you have done too much, leaving no room for it!"

Since the Three Emperors, all the emperors in the world were men. Today, Buddhism chooses women for men, turning the world upside down.And Lao Tzu is the leader of human religion, so it is up to him to decide what the emperor of the world should be.It's just that because of the number of days in hand, Jieyin and Zhunti replaced yang with yin, and re-established the emperor in the world, so that the Dharma will flourish and luck will flourish!Although it is following the sky, it has also formed a cause and effect with Lao Tzu!
Now that Buddhism is flourishing, Taoism will decline, and the luck of Buddhism will flourish by then.Enjoying the orthodoxy of the Three Realms, I am afraid that the cultivation of all Buddhists will increase greatly, and the Taoist door will be in danger!After Yuan Tianzun left, Lao Tzu, who was sitting alone in the Bajing Palace, thought of it.

Thinking of this, Lao Tzu couldn't help but sighed softly, closed his eyes, and communicated with his good corpse Taishang Laojun in the heavenly court in his mind.

After a long time, the Taishang Laojun who was in the Tushita Palace stood up and said to the void: "What fellow Taoist said is true, so leave this matter to me!"

After finishing speaking, the Taishang Laojun left the Tushita Palace and headed for the Lingxiao Palace.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Supreme Lord is seeking an audience outside the palace!"

The Haotian Jade Emperor sitting high above the Lingxiao Palace was enjoying singing and dancing when he suddenly heard a report from the golden armored guards guarding the palace.

Haotian Jade Emperor was also very puzzled when he heard this.This Taishang Laojun is a benevolent corpse of a sage of Taiqing. Although he is also serving in the Heavenly Court, he only does alchemy in Tushita Palace on weekdays and rarely comes to this hall. What happened today?
"Please!"Although he is the Lord of the Three Realms, he is just an ant to the saint.The Haotian Jade Emperor didn't dare to hesitate, and said hastily.

"See Your Majesty for the poor!".After entering the palace, Taishang Laojun bowed to Haotian Jade Emperor Jishou.

"The old gentleman is exempt from the courtesy. The old gentleman is not in the Tushita Palace today, so what is the important thing to come here?" Haotian Jade Emperor smiled politely.

"Nowadays the world in the lower world is turned upside down, and the woman proclaims the emperor as the emperor. As the master of the three realms, His Majesty cannot ignore this matter. Therefore, the poor Taoist came here, hoping that His Majesty can send people to the lower world to make things right!" Taishang Laojun replied .

Hearing that the Taishang Laojun came here for this matter, the Haotian Jade Emperor's head suddenly became big.Haotian Jade Emperor also knew the inside story of this matter.But these are all arranged by the saint, so how dare he say anything.

After hesitating for a while, the Haotian Jade Emperor said with embarrassment: "The old gentleman also knows about this, but now that Wu Zetian is still proclaiming the emperor, and if I send someone to go down to the realm, I'm afraid it will cause a massacre in the world. It is a crime to do so!"

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. To set things right, there is boundless merit and virtue, so why should there be any crimes. It should not be too late, and I hope Your Majesty will make a decision soon!".Taishang Laojun stepped forward resolutely.

"Then Laojun thinks who should be sent to the lower realm to deal with this matter?" After thinking for a while, the Haotian Jade Emperor asked.

"Wenqu Xingjun and Wuqu Xingjun are the most suitable. If the two of them have a piece of literature and a martial arts, the big things can be settled!" Taishang Laojun replied.

"Then follow what the old man said!".Haotian Jade Emperor said.

After finishing speaking, the Jade Emperor issued a decree to let the Wuqu Xingjun and Wenqu Xingjun be born in the world, and do the thing of putting order out of chaos.

Wen Quxing and Wu Quxing were born into the world, turned into King Luo Bin and Xu Jingye, actively planning the crusade against Wu Zetian.

King Luo Bin first inspired the resistance of countless scholars of Confucianism and Legalism against Wu Zetian with a piece of "A Call to Martial Arts".Subsequently, Xu Jingye formally raised his troops in Yangzhou to crusade against Wu Zetian, who had rebelled against the world.For a while, Wu Zetian's Great Zhou Kingdom was full of wars.

Buddhism did not gain a firm foothold in the Eastern court, and foreign troubles arose.For this reason, Zhunti sent Tathagata Buddha to persuade the Lord of the Three Realms, Jade Emperor Haotian, to help him.

Under the saints, all are ants.Facing another saint's request, the Haotian Jade Emperor could not refuse.In desperation, he had to send the so-called Eight Immortals who ascended from the world to help Wu Zetian.

The Eight Immortals of Shangdong are the named disciples of the "Bagua" accepted by the Taishang Laojun to teach the "Taiji, Liangyi, Sixiang and Bagua" luck for the whole person, which means rich and poor, men, women and children.They are Lv Dongbin, a godfather, He Xiangu, a Kun girl, Zhang Guolao, an old man, Lan Caihe, a young man from Xun, Han Xiangzi from Kanfu, Cao Guojiu from Gengui, Tieguai Li from Duipin, and Zhongli from a lowly man.

Although the Eight Immortals of Shangdong are the registered disciples of the Taishang Laojun, they are not included in the Renjiao, and they can only be regarded as peripheral disciples of the Renjiao.The Taishang Laojun only showed up when he was ferrying them, and the eight of them all ascended from the Earth Star to the Earth Immortal Realm after the First Battle of the Conferred Gods, and it is not clear what the relationship between the saints was at all. set.For this reason, they were gladly ordered to go to the lower realm.

Wen Quxing and Wu Quxing were born into the world and turned into King Luo Bin and Xu Jingye, trying to set things right and weaken the great prosperity of Buddhism.However, the number of days is doomed, and the Empress Wu Zetian is surrounded by Buddhist masters, plus the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave.Within a few years, Wu Zetian cut off the power of King Luo Bin and Xu Jingye, and greatly enhanced the majesty of the emperor!The civil and military double stars had no choice but to return to the heaven.

With the help of Buddhist monks and the Eight Immortals, Wu Zetian regained her position as the ruler of the world!
Later, in order to reduce opposition forces, Wu Zetian restrained a lot in dealing with Confucianism and Legalism.Confucian scholars Zhang Shuzhi and Legalist scholars were reused, and the politics of the land boundary became more and more peaceful.

In the next ten years, under Wu Zetian's efforts, Buddhism in the East has developed to a new height.

Afterwards, Wu Zetian restored the memory of her previous life under the guidance of Zhun Ti, and returned the position of monarch to Li Tang, who regarded Taoism as the state religion, and left a tablet without words.Fly away!
So far, Buddhism surpassed Taoism and Confucianism in one fell swoop, and finally ushered in the real prosperity since the prehistoric Three Realms!The wish of Amitabha Buddha and the two sages Zhunti for hundreds of millions of years since the establishment of Buddhism has finally ushered in the day of fulfillment.
