The Chronicle of the Emperor of the Great Desolation

Chapter 301 Lao Dan Turns Hu into a Buddha

With the founding of Legalism, an important addition to the splendid civilization of humanity, since then, the theory that runs through the entire river of humanity and affects the civilization of the entire human race has come into being.

Its significance is great, and it has been passed down for a long time, even surpassing the Book of Changes, surpassing any theories of the various schools of thought. It is a rare event of great merit after the Three Emperors and Five Emperors of the human race. There was a very mysterious connection between Ji Xuanmiao.

Lao Dan and Kong Qiu were also a little stunned. Lao Dan didn't expect to be robbed by Ji Xuanmiao and won the opportunity to be the first in the hundred.

Confucius, on the other hand, didn't know that Liyi's theory could gain boundless merits, which made him more determined to formally establish Confucianism.

The same is true for other great powers who are looking for opportunities, but it is not easy to create a theory. Development, the greater the effect on the human race, the more merit and luck you will get.

After Ji Xuanmiao founded the theory, he was invited by Emperor Zhou to the palace to ask about the way of legalism. Although he was eager to hear it, he lacked courage and lacked the ambition and courage to reform, so he could only sigh with regret.

Confucius saw Lao Dan and talked about benevolence and righteousness. Lao Dan said: "When chaff enters the eyes, it will turn the world upside down. Mosquitoes and other insects bite the skin, and people will not be able to sleep all night. The poison of benevolence and righteousness makes people confused. Nothing can cause more misfortune to human beings than benevolence and righteousness."

"If you want to keep the world from losing its simplicity, you should act naturally. Everything follows the laws of nature. Why bother to promote benevolence and righteousness, like beating drums to chase fugitives?"

"White swans don't need to be bathed every day, so their coats are naturally white. Black crows don't need to be dyed with black every day, so their coats are naturally black. The blackness of crows and the whiteness of swans are both natural. There is no such thing as good or bad. Everything in the world is different. It is a natural development, so why do you have to put on the shackles of benevolence and righteousness to forcefully regulate which is right and which is wrong? This is just your understanding of right and wrong, not universal right and wrong."

Confucius said: "There is no such thing as right or wrong between heaven and earth, but the development of things has its own laws, there are good and bad. My way is the upper body and the heart of heaven. I combine the way of benevolence with the way of heaven, and divide good and bad into right and wrong. For example, yin and yang, more white and less black. I use this to guide the development of humanity, so that everything is biased towards the good side and avoids the bad side.”

Old Dan sighed: "Wow, Qiu has already attained the Tao!"

Confucius came back from Lao Dan and did not speak for three days. Ji Xuanmiao asked, "What do you think of Lao Dan when you see him?"

Confucius said: "When I haven't seen him, I think he should be like a dragon. Together, he becomes a whole, and when scattered, he becomes a gorgeous literary talent. He rides on the clouds and rests between yin and yang. But when I see After seeing him, I realized that Long Yuan could not describe him in case, he is the incarnation of Tao, the ultimate embodiment of the mysteries of heaven and earth, among the people I have met, no one can be more natural than him."

Ji Xuanmiao said: "Brother Kong is ignorant and ignorant. The Three Realms are so big that the sages and sages don't know how many people there are. Just say Brother Kong, his achievements in the future will not be worse than those of Lao Dan. When we look back at today, Fang Xiaodao is endless. What he used to be , is a frog at the bottom of a well!"

Confucius was silent for a long while, then said hesitantly: "What Brother Ji said is true. The me at this moment, and the me in the country of Lu, also seem to have passed away. The future will be long, and the gentleman will strive for self-improvement. He should work all day long in order to achieve the Dao."

"Okay, brother Kong's words are very kind!" Ji Xuanmiao said, "I don't know what's going on, brother Kong?"

Confucius said: "I will continue to travel around the world and perfect my Confucianism. I hope that I can become a family like Brother Ji soon."

Ji Xuanmiao said: "I want to preach and give lectures, and promote Legalism, so I'd better go with Brother Kong. You and I use Confucianism and Law together, maybe it will be more effective!"

So the two bid farewell to Lao Dan and set foot on the road to defend the country. Confucius said: "Senior Lao Dan has learned about heaven and man, and all the books in the collection room are memorized. Why are you here? If you preach the world, it is not the world. luck?"

Ji Xuanmiao smiled, and said calmly: "Lao Dan is sorting out Taoist theories, making Taoist theories so that the mysterious, lofty and obscure sectarian theories will become popular among the people, and become a universal philosophy that is easy to understand but profound."

"This is like Brother Kong's "Book of Changes" and my "Xuanzi". Although there is no secret method of cultivation, the truths contained are all-encompassing. They are all the laws of the operation of things in the world. Gods and mortals can see and comprehend. .”

"This is from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, integrating the entire Taoist theory and luck, and becoming a unified Taoist sect with wider influence."

"This move makes the Taoist concept rooted in the people, no longer limited to believers, everyone can understand it. It is small enough to be a guiding light in life, but it can be used as a strategy for governing the country and the people. It is everywhere and everywhere. Not to mention, the luck is endless. Combined with the method of cultivating to become an immortal at a higher level, the luck of Xuanmen is stable, and there may be ups and downs thereafter, but there will never be a decline."

Confucius was thoughtful, although he didn't say strange things, but he didn't deny their existence, he just felt that a gentleman walks straight, so there is no need to make a fuss about it.

"In this way, the three religions of Taoism can also be collectively referred to as Taoism from now on. This invisibly coincides with the word 'Tao', and is inherently tainted with a certain amount of energy. As the first sect established in the prehistoric period, Xuanmen indeed has this qualification. "

While the two were talking about Lao Dan, he was also sorting out his five thousand words.This is something that is in line with humanity, something that takes root in the human race, and it is carried out as a human race. Naturally, there will be no barriers in the dark, so that the Taoist philosophy can truly integrate with the human civilization and absorb each other.

Even if one day Taoism declines, if other theories absorb its ideas, it can be regarded as another way of existence, and it will naturally share luck. If it is reversed, it may form a relationship between Buddha and demon.

A hundred years passed in a flash, and Lao Dan wrote the Tao Te Ching with Taoist thought. The mission of reincarnating the human race was about to be completed, so he resigned from his official position and rode a bull to the west.

Da Chi Tianzhong Lao Tzu had a feeling, and said to Duo Bao Taoist who was sitting in front of him listening to the sermon: "The time has come. The Buddhist school has sent Medicine Buddha to the lower realm to compete for the creation of human race. At this time, I have no intention of developing Mahayana Buddhism. Regarding Mahayana Dharma, I have explained it clearly to you, when you set up Mahayana Buddhism and become a patriarch, wouldn't it be better than the prisoner now?"

Daoist Duobao said expressionlessly, "Master, don't worry, the disciple has already realized something. It's just that if I establish Mahayana Buddhism, and Buddhist sages kill me, what should I do?"

Lao Tzu said indifferently: "If they attack and kill you, the poor will let Lao Dan kill the Medicine Buddha, let him die completely, and lose the chance to snatch the good fortune of the human race, and even the ambition of Emperor Qinghua will be shattered. "

A sneer flickered on the corner of Taoist Duobao's mouth. This uncle was really cruel, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, like a neighbor's grandfather, but when he did things, he was extremely decisive. Not long after the cut-off teaching was eliminated, he began to plot against Buddhism again.

It’s just that it’s beneficial to me. Since I’m destined to be reincarnated into Buddhism, if I can’t resist, I should actively accept it and start seeking the greatest benefits.

There are many disciples of the Jiejiao in Buddhism. If you go there and raise your arms, you can immediately form a school of your own. When the time comes, you may not have the opportunity to bring them back to the Jiejiao.

Taoist Duobao was worried that he would be killed by Buddhist saints when he was reincarnated, but since Medicine Buddha is the hostage, there is no problem.

Medicine Master Buddha is the direct disciple of the guide, and he is a quasi-sage himself. This time he descends to the earth, he may get the good fortune of the human race, and he will soar into the sky.Even if he fails, Buddhism is seeking the position of Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Pole for him. This is equally important to Buddhism and cannot be destroyed at all.

"Don't worry, as long as you succeed in establishing Mahayana Buddhism, a lot of good fortune from Buddhism will gather, and if they kill you again, they will kill eight hundred enemies and lose one thousand, and they will only win you over."

Lao Tzu naturally has a plan for all situations, so that Daoist Duobao splits Buddhism, it is best to become like the current interpretation, so that it will not be a threat.

Even if this ideal situation is not achieved, if Duobao is killed, Buddhism will suffer heavy losses. If Duobao is drawn in, it will be difficult for Mahayana and Hinayana to be single-minded. Infighting will definitely be indispensable, and the power of Buddhism will be weakened virtually.

With a wave of Lao Tzu's sleeve, Taoist Duobao flew into the human world, landed behind Lao Dan, and walked together outside Hangu Pass.Guan Ling Yinxi watched the sky at night and saw the purple air coming [-] miles east. He knew that the saint was coming, so he had been waiting by his side for a long time.

Lao Dan took out a vajra bracelet and turned it into a deep tunnel. Taoist Duobao was sucked into it, and his body and spirit changed for a while, turning into a relic and disappearing.

Lao Dan was about to leave, but Yin Xi knelt down and begged for help.Lao Dan smiled inexplicably, and now he accepted him as a disciple, established a Taoist school in Hanguguan, taught the Tao Te Ching, and bestowed the name Yin Xiwenshi Zhenren Dao. After that, he established Louguan Taoism, which once affected the rise and fall of the dynasty.

The merits and virtues of heaven, Lao Dan collected them with a diamond bracelet and the hand-copied Tao Te Ching, accomplished two spiritual treasures of merit, and rode away on a bull. Not long after, in a small village, he found a young man with big ears who was planting some plants.

Lao Dan saw at a glance that these were healing herbs, so he casually pointed out a few words, and was shocked by the young man, and immediately begged for advice from time to time.Old Dan stayed here logically, getting along with this young man day and night.

At the time when Laozi brought many treasures into Buddha, Confucius finished his tour of the countries and returned to the former residence of the State of Lu.

Although he has been active in these years, his political ideas have not been promoted, and he was even driven out in Song State, and surrounded by troops in Chen State and Cai State, and he was very embarrassed.

Seeing the turmoil in the world and the disorder of the people, Confucius was very resentful of the princes and states that had caused all this since the Spring and Autumn Period. He decided to write a history book to record major events, to praise and criticize merits and demerits, so as to warn future generations and make rebellious officials and thieves afraid.

After several years, the history book was completed, named "Spring and Autumn", Confucius stopped writing and stopped writing.

At this time, he had completed many Confucian classics, and his academic system had also been established, so he led three thousand disciples, including 72 sages, to establish Confucianism in Qufu.
