God and mystery

Chapter 385 Buddha and Ghost
"Dragon Lord Jiupancha King. Take the dragon as the leader of the dragons? This title is so crazy, is it really what a Buddhist should have?"

Zhang Tianshi's tone was similar to a warning, but Emperor Wanli only cared about this person's title. After all, since the Han Dynasty, emperors have been associated with dragons. As time goes by, the emperor is equal to the fate of a real dragon, which has almost become a "setting" in this world.

Of course, the dragon is just a metaphorical symbol. What the emperors like most is not to be the descendants of the dragon, but to be a certain god, or to create a god by themselves as a follower of birth. The legend of the emperors in the Song Dynasty is that they are born in the sky. The heavenly king descended to the realm, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was the reincarnation of Zhenwu. Obviously, compared with the dragon, a higher-level god of heaven is more acceptable to the world.

"Jupancha is actually a kind of Buddhist ghost."

"Your Majesty, don't be too obsessed with the title of the Dragon Lord, or you will lose your status as the Son of Heaven by comparing yourself to Buddha and ghosts."

Zhang Tianshi tried to correct the thoughts of Emperor Wanli, and pulled his head out of the wild thinking storm and got back on track.

Now is not the time to worry about what to call the other party, even if they call you "your grandpa", you can
Forget it, Emperor Jiajing is still running for his life in Lishanhe, and the grandfather of the current emperor is not so easy to be.

"Buddha ghost?"

Emperor Wanli's thoughts finally stopped diverging, but he still asked:
"A Buddha is a Buddha, and a ghost is a ghost. What is a Buddha and a ghost?"

"I know Immortal Buddha, but these are also two names. Could it be that what you call Buddha Ghost is the same name?"

Zhang Tianshi: "Of course, it's just a title."

"This person is incredible. It is said that when Bianliang City was breached in the Song Dynasty, this person was responsible for it, and it was a kind of revenge."

Zhang Tianshi talked about the secrets of the previous generation. Of course, he didn't know the details about it. It's just that Longhushan has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, and there are often many secrets in the change of dynasties. The celestial masters of the past dynasties will occasionally meet them, so they will naturally observe And describe.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Shanhe competed for the royal road, and the struggle was fierce. Because of the short-term suppression of the other three forces by the great sage of Shenxiao Dao Yuanmiao, the Dragon Lord of Buddhism cast a curse, predicting that Bianliang would be destroyed by soldiers in one year. Disaster chaos!

"And in this battle between Buddhism and Taoism, it seems that the Buddhism failed and cast a great curse, and the Taoism was short-term victorious. However, the alchemists also had their own ideas and intervened in it. Open the city of Bianjing”

"Opening Bianjing? Is it a matter of the Liujia Heavenly Soldiers? Is it because Song Ting made them lose their benefits, so they immediately chose the Kingdom of Jin in the north?"

Emperor Wanli stroked his beard, his brows frowned into Sichuan characters, one head and two big: "This immortal struggle is so casual, the monarch of the country sells it as soon as he wants, so who is willing to work hard for the Li Shanhe group?"

"This is too immoral."

Zhang Tianshi laughed: "Benevolence, righteousness and morality are things of Confucianism. Alchemists themselves are independent of the three religions. They originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and flourished in the Warring States Period. How can they have any benevolence and righteousness? This is not what they themselves have to abide by!"

It is impossible to talk about benevolence and righteousness with alchemists. The only thing you can exchange with alchemists is benefits. They will help you if they see that it is profitable. When you have no interest disputes with him or even affect them, they will get rid of them. drop you.

"But didn't you say that today's alchemists are all from Dongfang Shuo's lineage, Dongfang Shuo is also a Han Chinese, don't you know etiquette?"

Emperor Wanli asked aloud.

"If there is true etiquette and righteousness, there will be no ups and downs manipulating the right and wrong of the outer mountains and rivers in the inner mountains and rivers."

Zhang Tianshi responded in this way.

Emperor Wanli scolded: "To be old and not die is to be a thief. Oh, Heavenly Master, I am not scolding you, in fact, you are quite young, you are not an old thief, at best you are a small thief."

Seeing the slight change in Zhang Tianshi's face, Emperor Wanli immediately said that he was not scolding him.

After all, compared with those immortals in Li Shanhe, your old Zhang can't be called Lao Zhang, at most you can be called Xiao Zhang.

".Wait a minute, is there another one?"

Emperor Wanli suddenly remembered, didn't it mean that the Taoist school wins and the Buddhist school loses, and the alchemist turns his face faster than the book, so how about a Confucianist?
"In the south."

"Oh I got it!"

After receiving a simple response from the Celestial Master, Emperor Wanli suddenly became enlightened.

It turned out that he had been prepared for a long time. Compared with alchemists, this was a lot more benevolent and righteous.

"Confucianism can still be used. At least it sells the current monarch, but still retains the orthodoxy of the dynasty. Although it is more peaceful in the south, it is much more moral than what alchemists do."

"At least I didn't help the enemy immediately."

But Zhang Tianshi laughed: "It's easy to hide from the open gun, but hard to guard against the hidden arrow! You emperor, you choose four schools and use them for yourself. The Taoist school is elated when it wins, but the Buddhist school loses and gets frustrated. The alchemists are cold and ruthless, and this Confucianism is just the most dangerous. Can you say, can we get along?"

"The other three parties are all chosen by the emperor, but Confucianism is chosen by the emperor."

Emperor Wanli woke up like a dream, and he shuddered unintentionally at this moment.

Biting dogs don't bark, the smelliest farts don't make any sound, poisonous snakes are silent before attacking, and mountain winds don't stop before hungry tigers pounce on their food.

"Then now, can the alchemist still be trusted?"

"At least Xu Fu is not dead, alchemists can still be trusted, as long as we don't trust other people during the process."

Zhang Tianshi said: "I checked some of the past secret texts of Longhushan, and found that the orthodoxy of Biaoshanhe is not very important to the monks of Lishanhe. Very happy, that’s exactly what it is.”

"Of course, the important forces of my Longhu Mountain are all in Biaoshanhe, and Lishanhe only has the Tao of Heavenly Master, and there is no Longhushan. This is also a huge difference."

"What's the difference?"

Emperor Wanli was puzzled.

Zhang Tianshi explained:
"The master of heaven does not enter the mountains and rivers."

"The celestial masters of the past dynasties all completed their ascension in Biaoshanhe. After studying the immortal way for a lifetime, they ascended to heaven. The mana of their wishes was all injected into the divine card of the ancestral celestial master. If they did not complete their ascension, their lifespan would be exhausted. At the moment, the magic power and wishes will also be dissipated, and they will go back to the ancestor's god."

"The Way of the Celestial Master is the sect of practice created by the Celestial Master, and the place where the Celestial Master is located is Longhu Mountain!"

"Nowadays, when we cooperate with alchemists, we cannot cooperate with Buddhism, Taoism, or Confucianism, that is, alienate the scholars of the three religions."

Zhang Tianshi said so, and at the same time, he thought, there is nothing to be close to the people of the three religions nowadays. Even the three mountains like Maoshan have been reduced to a tool department for the immortals sent by Lishanhe Zhuhuotian Palace, let alone Buddhism Even the Changchun Temple near the imperial palace, as well as the emperor's old mother, are the incarnations of Li Shanhe Buddhist monks. It's gone.

In contrast, the inheritance of alchemists has almost disappeared in Biaoshanhe, which can be regarded as reassuring, and this group of people hates Xu Fu deeply, and they don't know where such a huge hatred comes from. There is obviously a difference of three or four Five generations, but it seems that there is a disaster of taking away its foundation.

Could it be that the existence of Xu Fu will make the foundation of alchemist's way unstable?So killing him to take back some kind of "power"?
This is Zhang Tianshi's guess, but there is no basis for it. He thought of Ji Xiang again, and secretly said, I don't know if the Korean War is over for a short time, and my senior brother returns to China, can he get some special information from this channel?

How can others sleep soundly on the side of the couch, Xu Fu's existence is the greatest threat and deterrence to China, and this invasion of North Korea is a strong proof of his wolf ambition.How could an old ghost from two thousand years ago fight against him as a living immortal?
"Buddha Ghost Jiupancha King, in its own meaning, is the ghost essence under the command of Zengchang Tianwang in the south. It is said that it can make various changes, inflict harm from the five dusts, eat human essence and blood, gallop like the wind, live in the forest, and control the ghosts of all places. Therefore, they are called kings, and in the "Yuanjue Sutra", this kind of ghosts are also called powerful ghost kings."

"The chief among them is the genus of ghosts and gods. In Buddhism, he is also the guardian king of Buddhism, called 'Pilule'."

"Buddhas and ghosts descended from the lower realms. They came from the mountains and rivers, probably for the sake of King Tianluo, but they have connections with the Southern Methodism. It's really hard to explain their real purpose. Someone needs to go and investigate."

As Zhang Tianshi said this, Emperor Wanli thought of Ji Xiang again, so he said, "It's better to let the real person from the North Pole go."

"As soon as the Korean War was settled, they crossed the sea and went to the south? Your Majesty, the immortals are not driven like this."

Zhang Tianshi shook his head, thinking that you are using gods as military generals, and you can make up for any leaks, just like Li Rusong. Seeing that he is easy to use, he first fought against the rebellion of the Mongolian tribe in Ningxia, and then went to North Korea to fight a few times. Every year, he was transferred back and immediately served as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. Before his ass was hot, the Tatars in the northwest invaded the border, and then went to the north to defend the Tatars.

Zhang Tianshi recalled Li Rusong.

Then I realized that I couldn't recall what this person looked like.

The last time we met was the last time.

The situation in Daming is not very good now. In the north, southwest, and northeast, there are foreign forces making trouble, and the demons are dancing around, which puts a lot of pressure on the inside. At the same time, there are also various inside ghosts who sell their interests. It's not bad, otherwise there will be a big rebellion for you, and the country will really be subjugated.

"Your Majesty, there are no fewer than eight people with the prestige of real immortals in our Daming territory, counting the poor."

"But only Pindao and Beiji Daoist can be sent by the court, and the others don't obey the court's dispatch. Does your majesty have any clever tricks to force them to obey?"

"One of them caused chaos in Qiantang, created the Demon Mountain, and tried to manipulate the Ascension Demon Calamity artificially. He was also one of the ancient immortals who descended from the mountains and rivers. Does Your Majesty have any way to eliminate him?"

"Although the Jingzhen Divine Sword is unparalleled in power, and the sword light can wipe out the celestial form and the magic shadow in a flash, but your majesty himself has no cultivation level. In front of the real fairy, it is like a child holding gold through the busy market. Is there a reason why he can be safe and sound?" ?"

With such words, Emperor Wanli was vigilant, and he couldn't help frowning deeply.

There are several gods in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Tianshi has said more than once, but they can't be mobilized, so it doesn't make any sense, but a group of hidden dangers.

Why not recruit?

Go, recruit a bird!

People don't care about your recruitment!
Some of them have already established relationships with great immortals at the Tianxin level in Lishanhe, and the inner and outer mountains and rivers will merge into one in 20 years. At this time, it is not cost-effective to follow a bloated dynasty that has been established for more than 200 years.

It's better to smash this dynasty 20 years later, and then absorb those national fortunes by yourself. If you are ambitious, you can try to get into the "True Realm of Heaven"!
"There is no way. If they really make trouble, it will be a great disaster, but if they are to be eradicated, I have no good way."

"The weapons of the gods and gods have been lost in the past dynasties, and now there are not as many as those in the Wa country."

Thousands of years of wars have been going on in the Central Plains. What is lost or destroyed is a little artifact or fairy scripture?
There is no supreme and recognized leader, no place where they can be preserved, fighting with the weapons of immortals and gods, and then both perish. The sects have risen and fallen, how many practitioners have turned into bones for thousands of years?
"This Buddha ghost, is it true that there is no way to restrict it? I just look at him like this, messing around in the south?"

"The world of Ming Dynasty is not in the hands of King Lu, but is it going to be in the hands of the Buddha, ghosts and Dharma teachings?"

Zhang Tianshi said to Emperor Wanli:
"Although there is no way to crack it for the time being, there is a strategy to drive away tigers and wolves."

"Does Your Majesty know about Zhou Sheng?"

------

"Yo? Let me go to the south to fight with Buddhism? This is not good!"

"Sun Tianshi, this doesn't make sense. How could I be able to defeat the lower realm Buddha of Buddhism on my own behalf? You are, what's wrong with Changsheng Tiangong? Who entered into this kind of slander with you and asked you to ask me Are you going to do something like this to die?"

Bursts of black air filled the air. At the entrance of a Bailian church, all the people inside were slaughtered. Zhou Sheng brought a child named Shenkui and stood among the corpses. Zhou Sheng didn't do anything.

"Prince Lu is dead, and the White Lotus Sect is now leaderless. You mean King Lu's 'Luck of the King'? Who knows where he is, and I have been to the palace, but it was all sealed up. If you dare to search with great fanfare, you can only kill the White Lotus Sect to make a living, after all, these guys have stayed with King Lu for a while, and they have a bit of royal air."

"It's not so easy for a snake to transform into a dragon. You can't go to the Forbidden City, and you don't dare to go to Fengyang for the time being. You can only find those vassal kings or clans who are alone, and kill them. If you accumulate less, you will make more. I wanted to go to Wudang Mountain to slaughter the mountain before, but I didn’t expect that there is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the mountain! Not far away, I sensed that there are real immortals inside.”

A white shadow emerged from the black air, and this shadow was talking with Zhou Sheng.

"The five-turn elixir is not for nothing. This time the Buddha and ghost came to the world, it must be to split the land of the Ming Dynasty, and he must find a 'dragon son'. You go kill him and take away the spirit of the dragon son. transport."

"The Dharma teachings in the south can't cause any troubles. Buddhas and ghosts descended to the world. Someone did something big for him, and he himself paid a big price. He doesn't have the fighting power of a flying fairy, but only has the body of a fairy Buddha. Since I Let you go, there is naturally a way for you to kill him!"
