Honghuang: Rebirth of Lingzhu, I am the leader of the West

Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave.

Moyan sat cross-legged, meditating, and had no intention of leaving the retreat.

Autumn went and winter came, time passed.

The world changes, birth, aging, sickness and death, things are different.

The Western Han Dynasty went from prosperity to decline. After experiencing chaos and war, Liu Xiu regained control of the world, continued the glory of the Han Dynasty, and opened the Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, the Eastern Han Dynasty did not exist for long, and the emperors of each dynasty became increasingly absurd. They were either inactive, ambitious, or greedy for pleasure. This behemoth soon fell into decline.

It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, the various sects of Xuanmen began to lay out in the Nine Provinces of the human race, and each passed down the Taoist tradition, which expanded the branches of Xuanmen. Guangchengzi established the Kongtong Sect, Yunzhongzi established the Danxia Sect, Duobao established the Maoshan Sect, Wenzhong established the Shenxiao Sect, Jinling Shengmu established the Wudoumi Sect, and Wudang Shengmu established the Lishan Sect.

Yi Yin, a registered disciple of Taishang Laojun, later known as Wenshi Zhenren, established the Louguan Sect in the Nine Provinces of the human race; the registered disciple Changmei Zhenren established the Shushan Sword Sect; the registered disciple Zhang Daoling founded the Zhengyi Sect and established Longhushan, etc.

Even the powerful and independent cultivators of Xuanmen have set up their own sects, inherited the Taoist tradition, and collected luck while educating the people.

Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady founded the Xuannv Palace, Nine Netherworlds Su Nu founded the Suxin Pavilion, and Taishan Bixia Yuanjun established the Tianhu Courtyard. As time went by, their power gradually grew. The various sects of Xuanmen flourished in the three realms around the Nine Provinces of the human race.

Because of this, the entire Han Dynasty had a strong Taoist culture. In the early days of the dynasty, it even advocated inaction and governance. The Huang-Lao theory was popular in the Nine Provinces, and Taoist doctrine ushered in a brief glory.

Although Xuanmen was popular in the Nine Provinces of the human race, and Buddhism had its roots in the West, Western religion had a far-reaching influence and laid a good foundation for Buddhism.

Especially the fact that several of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had been assisted by Western religion, which made Buddhism always have some beliefs in the Nine Provinces of the human race, which was deeply rooted and could not be easily removed by Xuanmen.

Jiuzhou covers five regions of the Three Realms: southeast, northwest, and central. The vast territory close to the west makes it difficult for Xuanmen to move forward. Since the Great Xia Dynasty, this place has been a place for Western teachings, with strong beliefs and profound teachings.

After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, it is as vast as the sea and as deep as the mountain. After the establishment of Buddhism, according to the memory of the previous life, Mo Yan eliminated all kinds of unreasonable things.

For example, it is not necessary to shave your head and become a monk to practice Buddhism. As long as there is Buddha in your heart, you can practice everywhere. Farming can make you a Buddha, business can make you a Buddha, and governing a place can also make you a Buddha.

For example, the properties under the name of the temple also need to follow the laws of the dynasty and pay taxes regularly. Only by going deep into the world can you leave the world.

For example, practicing Buddhism is not just chanting scriptures and meditating. The heart is always at ease, and everything is Buddha. Monks cannot do without production, and they must be good at discovering the Buddhist Zen hidden in daily practice.

Buddhist disciples should try their best to be self-reliant, and if they beg for alms, they must also repay the alms.

In addition to the fact that Buddhist disciples were eager to show their respect, for various reasons, Buddhism had an unbreakable faith in that vast river, which was also the reason why Ying Zheng invited Buddhism to spread eastward., the reason for establishing the White Horse Temple in Jiuzhou.

Although Buddhism did not follow the Xuanmen to establish schools in various parts of Jiuzhou, it took steady steps and used thousands of years to re-accept the places of faith belonging to Western religions, making the Buddhist faith unbreakable.

For this reason, even in the Han Dynasty, although Buddhism was not the mainstream, it still occupied a place.

Today, in addition to the White Horse Temple, this area of ​​hundreds of millions of miles has also produced several major Buddhist sects, with the Lotus Sect, Vajra Sect, Arhat Temple and Pure Land Sect being the most outstanding, commanding temples in all directions.

These major Buddhist sects correspond to the five veins of Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhat, Vajra and Bhikkhu in Buddhism. There are Taiyi Jinxian peaks sitting in all year round, either preaching or concentrating on meditation.

As for Daluo Jinxian, whether it is Xuanmen or Buddhism, they will not stay in the world forever, and Taiyi is the peak.

This is the customary rule of the Nine Provinces of the human race, and it is also the requirement of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of Huoyun Cave.

…………

Time is rushing forward, and the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty is coming soon.

This behemoth is on the verge of extinction. Local separatist regimes are annexing the land and dominating. The imperial court has no power to suppress it. The people are in distress, bandits are rampant, and the chaotic times are coming. The end of the dynasty is everywhere.

One martial arts genius after another is born, one counselor after another is born, and one hero after another appears on the stage.

This great tide of humanity started with the human struggle for the dragon. After hundreds of years and nearly a thousand years of fighting, it finally formed a three-legged tripod.

The netherworld and the heavenly court are watching this hegemony, selecting the best from the underworld soldiers and generals, heavenly soldiers and generals, and even medium-level gods and high-level gods. The Buddhist sect also selected some guardian gods in this process.

Some even had great supernatural powers perform secret techniques to help them fake their death and escape when they were in danger of their lives.

Guan Yu was one of them.

In the late Three Kingdoms period, when he encountered a life-threatening situation, he was valued by the Buddhist sect, rescued first, and accepted into the Western Heavenly Court, and joined the army of Emperor Gou Chen. Because of his experience in the field of life and death, Guan Yu had a great enlightenment and touched the threshold of martial arts Daluo, and he would soon be able to break through.

By then, he would be canonized as the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Lord by Shaohao.

As for the more outstanding Lu Bu, the Buddhist sect did not include him, and the Xuanmen sect was the same. No matter how talented in martial arts, if one's character is not good, he can only drift away from the opportunity.

Under the curtain of this battle between humanity and Taoism, Buddhism and Xuanmen began their third battle, this time it was a battle of faith, a battle of Taoism.

Until the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, this battle of faith still did not end, but intensified.

There were countless Buddhist debates. There were also many competitions.

During the war years, both sides even competed secretly in helping the people.

Of course, supporting forces to compete for supremacy was also necessary.

But they were all concerned about the tragic scenes of the Conferred God War in the past, so they restrained themselves and controlled the situation within a reasonable range, so there were not many casualties between them.

There was a massive move to destroy Buddhism, butThere is a fear of suppressing the Dao.

Until the fall of the Jin Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the thousand-year-long religious dispute was temporarily brought to an end, and the initial pattern was established. In addition to occupying the east and west of Kyushu respectively, Buddhism and Taoism also occupied the north and south of Kyushu respectively.

The southern part of Kyushu is full of Buddhist beliefs, with temples, pagodas, and ancient temples scattered around. Whether it is on the mountains or near the city, there are Buddhist sounds, and even the grand scene of 48,000 temples in the Southern Dynasty appeared, and every temple had Buddhist and Taoist monks sitting in charge.
