Chapter 83 The Hundred Schools of Philosophy

Earth star!

Tang Han stood outside the Earth Star, looking at this blue, unparalleled beautiful planet, with a trace of complexity in his eyes.

In the depths of his soul, he is naturally very familiar with this azure planet, because it is his hometown. He has seen it on TV and movies countless times, so he is no stranger to it.

Looking at it again, the several planets refined by Taoist ancestors formed a formation, which isolated and protected the earth and stars. A planet much larger than the earth and stars emitted light and heat like the original sun star. , and the earth star is about [-] million miles away from the sun star, and it is the only planet where life is born.

Tang Han pinched his fingers and counted, but he did. The planet is still divided into seven continents as deep in memory, one quarter is land, three quarters is ocean, and the terrain is vaguely similar to the prehistoric. But evolution is quite different.

On the earth and planet, King Zhou has no morals, indulges in wine and sex, resorts to military affairs, imposes severe punishments, refuses advice and covers up wrongdoing, he is a complete fool.However, Xiqi gradually caught up after Ji Chang's vigorous development. After Ji Chang's death, Ji Fa succeeded to the throne as "King Wu of Zhou". The Zhou Dynasty was established.Seeing that the situation was over, King Zhou hid in Lutai and burned himself to death.

After King Wu conquered Zhou Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty, he set his capital at Haojing and distributed the feudal lords. During the 19 years of his reign, 71 vassal states including Lu, Qi, Yan, Wei, Song, Jin, and Guo were enfeoffed successively.

I never thought that the era of Zhou Dynasty dominance did not last long. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, national conflicts intensified, and various forces competed for power and land, which accelerated the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty. As the last king of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Zhou You was killed by the dog army, the Western Zhou Dynasty perished. , and with the rise of King Ping of Zhou, the establishment of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the capital was moved to Luoyang, the center of the world, but since then the Zhou royal family began to weaken, and only retained the name of the co-lord of the world.

The Spring and Autumn Period thus kicked off. The feudal lords competed for supremacy, and each of them wanted to become the overlord of the world. Qi, Jin, Song, Qin, and Chu rose one after another. Domination, known as the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemony in history, they established their own hegemony in this chaotic era.

However, after the protracted war for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period, the number of vassal states in the Zhou Dynasty was greatly reduced. As Han, Zhao, and Wei overthrew the Zhi clan of the Jin State and divided the Jin State, the pattern of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States was established. Since then, the Spring and Autumn Period The period also transitioned to the Warring States period, and the annexation wars between countries became more and more fierce. In the end, only Qi, Chu, Yan, South Korea, Zhao, Wei, and Qin remained.

And when the feudal lords were vying for hegemony, hundreds of schools of thought gradually emerged in this chaotic world, but among the hundreds of schools of thought, not many were really widely spread, only Legalism, Taoism, Mohism, and Confucianism , Onmyoji, famous, miscellaneous, farm, novelist, strategist, military strategist, doctor and so on.

And these schools of thought fall into the eyes of all the forces and powers in the earth and fairy world, which is undoubtedly the opportunity they sensed. The hundred schools of thought are not sects at all, but they are self-contained and can be widely spread among the human race , as long as the hundred schools of thought are immortal, the founders of the hundred schools will naturally not lose their luck, even the sages of the hundred schools can enjoy the blessing of luck.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period lasted for hundreds of years, which can be described as vicissitudes of life, but for those who seek immortality, it is just a flick of a finger, and with the emergence of various schools of thought, the sages of all schools of thought also created their own exercises. It made up for the inheritance of the earth and star people, but the difference is that the inheritance of immortality has gradually shifted to the inheritance of martial arts.

The aura of the earth and stars is no better than that of the prehistoric people. If it is not for the astonishing talents like the sages of hundreds of schools, otherwise it is difficult to seek transcendence from the immortal way, but the way of martial arts is different. It focuses more on the development of the human body's potential, and does not rely so heavily on the aura of heaven and earth. , Entering Dao with martial arts, in the same realm, martial artists can even beat immortals.

And as the sages of the Hundred Schools broke through the sky and flew to the Earth Immortal Realm, the theory of the Hundred Schools and the inheritance of martial arts were also passed on to the human race in the Earth Immortal Realm, and the luck of the various schools of thought began to increase rapidly, especially those of the various schools of thought. Some of the sages of the Hundred Schools were reincarnated with great power. Now that the luck of the Hundred Schools has greatly improved, they have naturally benefited a lot.

"I didn't expect the teacher to reincarnate a trace of the soul, and pass down the orthodoxy on the earth and stars!" Tang Han saw a middle-aged man by a river asking for advice from a white-haired old man. The middle-aged man was the reincarnation of Xuandu. The body, and the white-haired old man is just the reincarnation of Lao Tzu's wit.

"What is the chance of this earth star, which makes me throb so much, and also attracts the teacher to reincarnate with Xuandu Junior Brother?" Tang Han was a little puzzled, this earth star is much smaller than his Bailian Cave, ordinary people His physical fitness is far inferior to that of the Earth Immortal World, but these powerful reincarnations are above this Earth Star.

Master Xuandu was reincarnated as Confucius. After consulting Lao Tzu, he traveled around the world and created Confucianism by himself.Although the Confucianism created by Confucius was not considered prominent at this time, it was still among the top three.

Tang Han also saw the reincarnations of great supernatural beings such as the ancestors of Minghe, Zhenyuanzi, and Kunpeng, and established schools one by one.

But Tang Han's attention at this time was all attracted by Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu rode a green bull all the way westward, followed by a group of people, who was Taoist Duobao. While driving, Laozi preached to Taoist Duobao for 81 God, but after hearing it, it turned out that he had already arrived at Hangu Pass.

But Guan Yin was about to go down to the pass for inspection, when he suddenly saw an old man among the few passers-by passing by, riding upside down on a green bull.The old man's white hair is like snow, his eyebrows hang down his temples, his ears hang down his shoulders, his beard hangs down his knees, and he has a red face and a plain robe, simple and clean.Guan Yin looked up to the sky and sighed: "I am lucky in my life. I can see a sage." Taking three steps and two steps, he rushed forward, knelt in front of the green bull and worshiped: "Guan Yin kowtowed to see a sage"

Seeing that the worshiper has a square face, thick lips, thick eyebrows, and a straight nose, majestic but not cruel, gentle but not flattering, I knew early on that he was not an ordinary person, so he deliberately tried to say: "Master Guan Ling bows down to a poor and humble old man. Don’t dare to bear it, what can I learn from you?”

Guan Yin said: "Old man, the sage also wants to stay in the Guanshe to guide the way of practice."

Lao Tzu said: "What is so sacred about this old man that you love him so much? Ashamed and ashamed, I am ashamed to kill this old man?"

Guan Yin said: "Guan Yin is not talented; he likes to observe astronomy and knows a little about changes. When he sees the purple air coming from the east, he knows that there is a sage going west. He is not an ordinary sage; seeing the head of the purple qi surrounded by white clouds, he knows the shape of a sage and a white old man; seeing the blue ox star in front of the purple qi, he knows that the sage is coming on a green ox.

After hearing this, Lao Tzu laughed loudly: "I have already heard about your name, and I have come to pay a visit to you." Guan Yin was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.

Afterwards, Guan Yin led Lao Tzu to the official residence, asked Lao Tzu to sit up, burned incense and performed the ceremony of disciples, and begged: "Mr. It is your own responsibility. Now you will live in seclusion and be ruthless, and it will be difficult to find anyone who seeks advice. Why don’t you write down your sage wisdom? Although Guan Yin is humble, I hope Mr. Dai will pass it on to future generations, and it will last forever and benefit all generations.”

Lao Tzu promised that he would trace the origin of the success or failure of the dynasty and the safety and misfortune of the people, and write the first and second chapters, with a total of [-] words.The beginning of the first chapter is "Tao can be said, but it is very Tao; the name can be named, but it is very famous", so it is called "Tao Jing".The beginning of the second chapter reads, "If you are not virtuous at the top, you are virtuous; if you are not virtuous at the bottom, you are not virtuous." Therefore, it is called "De Jing", collectively known as "Tao Te Ching". "Tao Jing" talks about the root of the universe, and contains the wonders of the changes in heaven and earth; the next chapter, "The Classic of Virtue", talks about the way to live in the world, contains the art of advancing and retreating in human affairs, and contains the way of longevity and long-term vision.

Guan Yindezhi, as if he had found a treasure, worshiped: "My disciple, thank you for your teaching and guidance!"

Lao Tzu nodded, also tacitly accepted Guan Yin's title, and accepted him as a registered disciple on the spot, and then rode a green bull, led him out of Hangu Pass, and headed west.

Lao Tzu went west from Hangu Pass and traveled to Tianzhu, which is the stronghold of Buddhism in the human world. "Duobao, it's here!" Lao Tzu pointed to a luxurious and magnificent palace in front of a slightly pregnant woman .

Duobao was not hypocritical, he laughed and said: "Master, if I go this time, my Duobao will no longer be a member of the Taoist school. .”

Lao Tzu sighed slightly and said: "From now on, you are no longer a member of the Taoist sect, what are you from the same sect."

It turned out that it was Lao Tzu who was going west to Hangu Pass to turn Hu into a Buddha at this time, and Taoist Duobao was chosen by Lao Tzu.

Taoist Duobao tried to attack Lao Tzu when the Four Sages broke the Earth and Immortal Realm, but was captured and suppressed by Lao Tzu with a wind and fire futon.Instead, he was chosen by Lao Tzu to become a Buddhist Buddha, diverting the luck of Buddhism, so as to suppress Lao Tzu.

Tang Han was very puzzled when he saw Lao Tzu turning Hu into a Buddha. You must know that although the heavenly secret showed the great prosperity of the West, it was only a heavenly secret, and it was not really prosperous. Moreover, the last time they went to the West, the Twelve Merit Golden Lotus in the West went twelve times. Three, only the golden lotus of the ninth rank of merit is left, without the treasure to suppress the luck, even if it prospers, it will not prosper for long.

Unless the two sages of the West can find the innate treasure, the twelve-grade lotus platform, or refine the acquired merit treasure, it is doomed that the West will find it difficult to prosper.

Tang Han didn't think that Lao Tzu turned Hu into a Buddha just to gain some merit. After all, even though Lao Tzu put it into a bracelet, it became a spiritual treasure of merit.But you must know that Lao Tzu does not lack spiritual treasures, nor does he lack merit.

Tang Han was completely puzzled. Seeing that Lao Tzu's body suddenly became radiant, he suddenly reached the level of Da Luo Jinxian. You must know that this is just the reincarnation of Lao Tzu's soul. , went to heaven, lived in Tushita Palace, called himself 'Taishang Laojun', and practiced alchemy in Tushita Palace all day long.
