Warriors in the flood

A look of enlightenment appeared on Jieyin's face, "So that's how it is, the younger brother is planning to make a big rise in the evil way this time, and my Buddhist sect will not interfere in this matter?"

"That's right, the great prosperity of the Demon Dao means Dao. Our Buddhist sect can't win against the Demon Realm no matter what. What's more, we have taken refuge in the Demon Ancestor. Why should we fight each other with our left hand and kill each other with our right hand? Why don't we hand it over to Sanqing?" They have to deal with it." Zhunti sneered.

"What Junior Brother said is that since we are no longer members of the Taoist sect, we naturally don't need to worry about it." Jieyin and Zhunti looked at each other, each showing a smile.

------------

The human world has been in turmoil since the death of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, the emperor who created the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty through the ages. The queen's Wu Meiniang finally ascended to the throne of God, becoming the first female emperor since the establishment of the human world dynasty, and the only orthodox female emperor in history.

Wu Zetian established herself as Emperor Wu Zhou, changed the country's name from "Tang" to "Zhou", made Luoyang its capital, and named it "The Capital of God".

After Wu Zetian came to the throne, she felt that the throne was unstable. After all, the land of the Tang Dynasty belonged to the Li family. Now that she stole it, she would not convince the people below. Seize power by yourself and add a sacred aura.

Previously, the Li and Tang dynasties treated the three religions in order to cling to the gods. Confucius was successively conferred as the idol "Xiansheng", "Taishi", and "Wenxuan Wang"; The five thousand words of the Tao Te Ching became a Taoist classic, and Li Er became the leader of the "Laojun" and the "Holy Ancestor" of the Li and Tang Dynasty, and was bestowed with the title of "Holy Ancestor Emperor".

It is also recorded in historical records that Li Shimin once proposed to ask Xuanzang to translate the "Tao Te Ching" as a gift to Tianzhu, but it was unsuccessful because of Xuanzang's firm opposition.However, the foreign Buddhism was clearly stipulated by Li Shimin that the status of Taoists was higher than that of Buddhists, so that Taoism was always on top of Buddhism.

Today, Wu Zetian saw that Buddhism has taken root in China with the emergence of Tiantai sect, especially the most influential Zen sect, so he completely overturned the situation of the previous three religions, vigorously promoted Buddhism, and went the other way, expressly stipulating that Buddhists should The status is higher than that of Taoists.

In order to be able to deify herself, Wu Zetian even collaborated with Buddhists to forge Buddhist scriptures, saying that the Buddhist scriptures had long indicated that the heroine was coming to court.In Longmen of Luoyang, Fengxian Temple is the largest of the Tang Dynasty Grottoes in Longmen. This cave was excavated during the reigns of Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty and was completed in 67 AD. The Buddha statue is full in shape, magnificent in appearance, smooth in clothes and highly artistic in appeal. It is an exquisite masterpiece of art. (purely historical)

This statue of Buddha has plump eyes and beautiful eyes, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, smiling, and the head is slightly lowered, looking down slightly. It looks like a wise and kind middle-aged woman, which makes people respect and not fear.

This Buddha statue perfectly combines noble sentiments, rich emotions, open mind and elegant appearance, and has great artistic charm.This image is based on Wu Zetian's face, and Wu Zetian completely dressed herself up as the incarnation of Buddha.And the concept of Buddha began to enter every household with her promotion.

In this way, Wu Zetian's body was covered with a sacred coat.In particular, Buddhism has begun to spread widely in the eastern world. With the spread of Buddhism, Wu Zetian's image has become more popular, and her ruling position has become more stable.

Later, when Tang Monk returned from his journey to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures of the Western Heaven came to him, which made up for many deficiencies in the teachings of Buddhism in the East, and made the people of the East worship and believe in Buddhism even more, almost squeezing Taoism out of the East.

Not only that, but for the Daoist sect, Wu Zetian also ingeniously carried out a method of overtly praising and secretly degrading them.

For example, some of the disciples of Chanjiao in Legalism were appointed by Wu Zetian as cruel officials. Although they wielded a lot of power, they were all related to the criminal law. This made countless people in Eastern China disgusted with Legalism At the extreme, the Legalists suffered an unprecedented blow.

Sanqing has always been the master of the Taoist sect. Now after the Great Tribulation of the Conferred Gods, the sage of the Shangqing Tongtian directly retreated and never reappeared. It's fine to be tall, and you need your own subordinates.

Laozi and Yuanyuan have always worn a pair of trousers, and now the last power of Chanjiao in the world has been hit badly. The word "lingering" is the most appropriate description for the entire Taoist school, and even many Sanqing Taoist temples that were once prosperous Destroyed and abandoned, rarely visited by people.This is worse than ever, and even the Taoist classics are almost lost, which shows that it has fallen to the extreme!

As an Eastern sect, they were so bullied by outsiders on their own territory. Naturally, many monks from the Taoist sect were filled with righteous indignation. They were proud that they had always looked down on the remote places of Western Buddhism, and now they couldn't accept this fact even more. A group of Taoist sects The gods can't wait to go down to earth and kill this daring Wu Meiniang, and even more can't wait to start a war with Buddhism immediately and fight it out.

It's a pity that although the soldiers below have this idea, the two real masters above don't have this idea.

The two supreme sages who are Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian retreated at this moment, and Erqing, who has always claimed to be "Pangu authentic", Hongjun's first and me second, went into seclusion.Without even explaining a word to his disciples and grandchildren, he retreated directly, which puzzled countless monks.

However, the retreat of the two of them at most only aroused the confusion of some juniors in the Taoist sect, and the rest did not cause much trouble.But outside the Buddhist sect, without the obstruction of the Taoist Sanqing, the power of the Buddhist sect is like a big fire, burning blazingly, as if it wants to unify the entire Three Realms.

And without the saints from the heavens as the backstage, facing the two saints of Buddhism, any resistance is as insignificant as ants.After the two sages retreated, Chanjiao and Lao Tzu's disciples also went back to retreat separately. Without the support of the backbone, the sages from all walks of life almost collapsed and reached the point of destruction.

However, this is not really the end.

All the sects backed down, and even Nuwa had to recruit all the monsters from Beiju Luzhou to the heaven, and let them gather temporarily to sit in Bai Ze's place, so as not to be affected by Buddhism.As the most special realm in the prehistoric universe, the heavenly realm, no one dares to intervene, because there is a supreme existence behind him, and no one dares to violate it.

However, although no one dares to invade the heaven, the heaven above the nine heavens is the space that Guangming and Yaochi deliberately created at the junction of the heaven and the prehistoric world in order to fool Monkey King. It is also the place where the Heavenly Court issues orders.

Now that Buddhism is about to flourish, the figures of Guangming and Yaochi in the heavenly court have disappeared. Although the rest of the gods have left clones, their bodies have also gone home to retreat. Obviously, they also know that the power of Buddhism is too great now. , Even the Emperor and Empress are afraid, let alone them.Ever since, Buddhism has occupied the heavenly court, monopolizing the nine weather lucks in one body.

And in the nether sea of ​​blood, so what if Styx, the patriarch who claims to be immortal in the sea of ​​blood, is as powerful as a saint?At this moment, under the general trend of heaven, it is also the target of being directly crushed. The whole blood sea is directly shrunk by half, and you say the other half is directly cut off by Zhunti's slap, and turned into a blue sea, which is used as a Buddhist gate to attract ghosts. The place that must be passed through for teaching - "Xumi Sea", and the letter "The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and the shore is the same when you turn back".

In the underworld, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who was originally very low-key, now began to compete with the ten hall kings for the right to reincarnation.Netherworld is equivalent to a vast world!If you can really take away the luck here, proving the Tao and becoming a saint is just a matter of effort.

Faced with Ksitigarbha's rudeness, the Ten Palaces of Hades originally planned to kill him directly, but just when they were about to attack, Feng Du sent them a voice transmission, telling them to ignore it and hand over the control of the underworld to Buddhism .Although Hades of Ten Palaces was very puzzled, they had to listen to Fengdu's words.

For a time, almost all the luck of the entire prehistoric world, the three worlds of heaven, earth, and man, gathered on the body of Buddhism. This vast amount of luck is enough to make one person immediately become a saint. It's too wide, but even so, this vast luck has also added countless geniuses to Buddhism, and more than a dozen Da Luo Jinxians have made breakthroughs and become quasi-sages.

What shocked the gods and Buddhas even more was that the Tathagata Buddha, who had initially reached the pinnacle of the quasi-sage, took advantage of this luck to reach the Dzogchen quasi-sage. He only had to comprehend the laws of heaven to become a saint immediately.

All in all, Buddhism is thriving, prosperous, and thoroughly prosperous!

A flame of prosperity burns all over the Three Realms, and it will be invincible everywhere. Looking down, looking down, there is no opponent.
