Can you live forever

Chapter 415 Speech on Shinto

"They don't resist?"

"Of course I will resist, but I will accept it quickly. I did not break their beliefs, nor did I prevent them from believing in God, nor did I infringe on the interests of the Brahmins, nor did I reform the society so that the Kshatriyas would lose their power. Instead, I unified Tianzhu, let them have more believers to preach, so that the Kshatriyas can go to a higher level of power. All they need to do is to abandon false gods, believe in the real creation gods, and believe in the only Lord. Brahma."

The best way to defeat magic is magic.

Xu Hai's religion of worshiping God, with its core idea of ​​"all saints are one", is indeed compatible with all major religions...

Moreover, he can explain things that cannot be explained in the pseudo-history of the Xiluo people, and he can also solve the problem of the inconsistency of creation myths of various races. He even confirmed that Chinese civilization is the only civilization subject, with the letter history of Chinese civilization as the trunk, Merge various branches.

He is God, and Laozi is his incarnation. He went west to Hangu Pass and turned Hu into a Buddha.

Then go west again, it is Changshengtian, it is Allah, it is Yahweh...

The story is very big, just like Hongjun in "Fengshen Yanyi". There is Hongjun and then there is a day, and the three Qings have to stand behind. But after all, Taoism does not take Hongjun seriously. That's because "Feng Shen Yan Yi" doesn't have enough believers.

Like later generations, people don't know Taoist gods and read too many novels.

Don't you think that Hongjun exists, better than Sanqing?

Xu Hai has strong ships and sharp guns under his command, and he grasps the truth. He himself has fused with the flow of dragons, and he is a real dragon. When the statue of Vishnu.

Even in today's world of great heat, there is no god who can come down to deal with him.

Because Xu Hai already knew the true meaning of Shinto.

Shinto, that is, the mighty power of humanity.

This is a path that Xu Hai realized from Zhang Zhixiang's civilization narrative. If he can keep winning without losing, the system he has built will never collapse.

But if he loses...

If God can lose, is it still called God?
"Hehe, so, you shouldn't stop me, but also help me, help me steal the name of the god, and become the only belief of the barbarians, when the time is right."

"Kill me, kill God."

"From now on, superstition can be completely smashed. This is... to use falsehood to cultivate the truth."

"From now on, gods are dead, Buddhas are gone, and people have nothing to rely on. Everyone is their own master and their own god."

"Willing or not, all sentient beings must walk on the road of enlightenment."

"This is - stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade."

When Xu Hai uttered these words, the night wind blew, and this high-spirited and burly man was as tall as a mountain. Zhang Zhixiang, who was in the Yang God state, looked at him as if he was looking at a true god in the world.

At this moment, he realized that Xu Hai's worship of God is not ridiculous.

He turned himself into an opportunity for civilisation.

It's what civilization needs to kill... demons.

"I really underestimated you."

"It doesn't matter, I lost the gamble in Yizhou, should I still gamble this time?"

"It's fun to bet with you."

"Hahaha……"

Xu Hai looked up to the sky and laughed, he stretched out his hand, sending out the invitation of the times, Zhang Zhixiang held that hand, and accepted the bet.

……

……

"Are you going?"

Patriarch Sanfeng was not surprised to see Zhang Zhixiang resigning from him. In other words, it is very rare for Zhang Zhixiang to stay in Wudang Mountain for more than ten days to accompany his parents, relatives and friends after forming alchemy.

"Well, although it's not yet time to directly fight those two dragons, the disciple needs to be responsible for this longevity revolution, and it's not just a guarantee of force."

"Many, many aspects, always have to see and do it in person, so that we can better adjust the policy."

Patriarch Sanfeng could understand Zhang Zhixiang's urgency. In fact, he took such care of Zhang Zhixiang because he advocated the path Zhang Zhixiang took.

Patriarch Sanfeng discussed Taoism with Qiu Zu in his middle age, and thus he had the idea of ​​becoming a monk.

But its ideological lineage is the way of the integration of the three religions of Quanzhen.

Moreover, for ordinary Taoists, Patriarch Sanfeng placed great emphasis on moral cultivation. He declared in "On the Great Dao" that "loyalty and filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and generosity" are the core of pedestrians.

Based on this, he said in the poem "Answer to Emperor Yongle": "What is the secret of longevity? Dao full of virtue and prosperity is a good plan. Abstinence, desire, clear heart, calmness and worry, how can gods have different kung fu."

He not only advocates morality, but also believes that people who practice Taoism should establish their own words and careers, use themselves to practice the way of tranquility and inaction, and then teach others their own experience in practicing Taoism. This is the way of heaven.

Thousands of words are gathered into one sentence, "Refining yourself in the world, accumulating lead in the market".

Zhang Zhixiang developed his idea and created the realm of "Huiguang", which can be said to have won his heart. Therefore, the founder of Sanfeng will make a move in Yizhou, and teach Zhang Zhixiang all the way.

and.

Zhang Zhixiang is different from ordinary disciples. Some disciples have the heart to help the world, but they don't have the talent to help the world. Or the vast majority of Taoists are like this.

He intends to enter the world, but he is clumsy and clumsy. Even if he can talk and count, he doesn't have the talent for governing, let alone the talent for helping the world.

Zhang Zhixiang is different.

He is not only a Taoist priest, he also studied under Wang Yangming and Yao Guangxiao.

The theory of civilization is deafening.

It can be said that it has truly achieved "creating a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a life for the people, inheriting knowledge for the past, and creating peace for all generations." That is, the three immortalities of Confucianism, namely, morality, speech, and meritorious service, have almost been completed.

According to Zhang Zhixiang's achievements, according to the old standards, he can already be called a saint.

Patriarch Sanfeng was not worried about whether Zhang Zhixiang could preside over the longevity revolution, but last night Zhang Zhixiang's yang god came out of his body, and there was another divine light on Tianzhu, which made Patriarch Sanfeng quite concerned.

"Xu Hai's changes seem a little unusual?"

"Did the Patriarch see it? The thing is like this..."

Zhang Zhixiang had nothing to hide, he was going to tell about the bet with Xu Hai, Patriarch Sanfeng looked a bit complicated after hearing this, and said: "It really made him famous, even in Huaxia, there is no guarantee that no one will believe him."

Zhang Zhixiang said: "There will never be anyone who really regards him as God, believing in him is nothing more than wanting him to do things."

Chinese people believe in gods, basically they ask for gods.

It is not so much a letter as a transaction.

Patriarch Sanfeng naturally knew the characteristics of Chinese people's beliefs, and he was concerned about the changes in Shinto: "The saints taught with Shinto. Before Zhang Tianshi founded Taoism, because of the integration of Chinese civilization, the myths of various tribes were mixed, and the sacrifices were different."

"Even since the teaching, the myth system is still confusing."

"Both sides of Buddhism and Taoism have their own set of sayings."

"Before Xu Hai becomes powerful, why don't you sort out the divine way first?"

I heard Zhang Zhixiang discuss the Shinto in Yizhou, and the founder of Sanfeng knew that Zhang Zhixiang could explain the evolution of the Shinto, but this requires a complete and systematic statement to dial the truth from the false, and prevent Xu Hai from using that barbaric sect to make a fuss seat of the true sect.

Sages set up teachings based on Shinto, and no matter whether it is Confucianism, Buddhism or Taoism, they all have a complete description of Tao.

From learning to practice to the relationship with the world, there is a self-contained theoretical system.

But the religion did not.

Whether it is Christianity or God-worshiping religion, their core is only one "justification by faith".

The East-West split in Christianity occurred in the 11th century, and there was no conceptual difference, only geographical difference.

But Protestantism is different.

The idea of ​​Protestantism founded by Martin Luther is that no good deeds are required at all. Anyone who believes in the Lord can be saved, and anyone who does not believe will not be saved. Then, people will be nailed with "original sin".

Anyway, those who follow me will live, and those who go against me will die.

There is no ideological way at all, let alone be used to educate people and promote the development of civilization.

Zhang Zhixiang understood the meaning of Patriarch Sanfeng, he thought for a while, and then said: "This is simple, mythology is an exaggerated technique of historical records, and divine way is the mighty power of human way."

"Therefore, mythology needs to be based on history, and history takes precedence over mythology, so that the mythology system can be sorted out."

"This is something other countries cannot do, but we can still do it."

Compared with other civilizations that only have myths and legends but no relevant historical records, there are traces to follow even in the ancient history of Huaxia.

For example, the Yugong Yishan in "Tang Wen".

The Fool is also Dayu.

Tang Wen recorded the questions and answers between Shang Tang and Xia Ge. After Shang Tang overthrew the Xia Dynasty, the Xia people were divided into three branches. One branch followed Xia Jie to Nanchao, where they were exiled, and one stayed in the Central Plains. One branch moved north and became the royal family of the Huns.

It is precisely because of the origin of the Xiongnu and Xia that it will be recorded in the following Book of Songs as "the reason for the scorpion".

The Xiongnu were the Xiongnu.

By the time of the Han Dynasty, the war between the Xiongnu and the Han was a war between two civilizations. The Xiongnu was different from the grassland peoples behind it. It had its own politics, culture, and system.

However, such a powerful dynasty as the Han Dynasty still fought with the Xiongnu for 200 years before eliminating the Xiongnu.

And Huo Qubing's greatest achievement is not to seal the wolf and live in Xuxu, but to capture the golden man who worshiped the sky of the Xiongnu. In our traditional concept, we may think that it is really a golden doll, but in fact...it is a bronze vessel.

Bronze.

The same artifact as the Dali Man in Sanxingdui is a sacrificial artifact belonging to Xiashe.

The loss of the golden people offering sacrifices to the sky, and the loss of ritual vessels are the root of the demise of the Xiongnu civilization...

Therefore.

The Xiongnu got the inheritance of Xia, and the Shang also got the civilization of the Xia Dynasty that was inherited by the Xia people who stayed in the Central Plains, so there was a book "Tang Wen". When Zhou destroyed Shang, Duke Zhou also got " Zhou Bi Suan Jing".

Xia Ge and Shang Gao are both surnames of previous dynasties.

While they impart knowledge, there are also hidden mysteries in those stories.

Shang Tang asked Xia Ge a lot of questions, Xia Ge didn't know the answers, but Shang Tang ordered Xia Ge to answer, Xia Ge was touched by the answer, and began to sarcasm.

Shang Tang asked whether there were continents overseas in ancient times?
Xia Ge's answer was "Qi Zhou".

This is obviously wrong. How is the Shandong Peninsula an overseas country?However, if the time is moved to the period of the great flood, it will make sense. Under the flood, only the Shandong Peninsula in the lower reaches of the Yellow River can live, and the rest are soaked in the flood.

In this regard, Shang Tang naturally did not believe it.

Xia Ge used myths and stories as an example, and then emphasized that "Da Yu walked and saw it", saying that you Shang Tang didn't even know how to control water, and you didn't have the merit to save the common people, so you are not worthy of being the master of the world.

If the Xia Dynasty was only 400 years old, why did Shang Tang ask the ancient "Da Yu"?
How can we not know the geography of 400 years ago?
It's really... Dayu's water control is too long away from Shang Tang, as long as 6000 years ago.

When Xia Ge mentioned Dayu's water control, he began to talk endlessly to express the greatness of his ancestors, but he didn't dare to say it clearly, so the story of the Yu Gong who moved the mountains came into being.

At the end of Tang's question, he was afraid that future generations would not understand, so he used "Da Yu said" and "Xia Ge said" to comment and hint.

In Yugong Yishan, in order not to let Shangtang find out, Hequ Zhisou was deliberately used to correspond to Yugong Beishan, but in the text there is also "the widowed son of the neighbor Jingcheng" participating in water control.Dayu's father was executed because of poor water control.

The identities fit perfectly.

And "throwing to the end of the Bohai Sea, to the north of the hidden land" is the method of Dayu's water control, and Jingwei's reclamation also corresponds to this water control story.

Tianjin Wei was also formed that year.

The result of flood control is "Since then, the south of Hebei and the Yin of Han have never been broken."

This shows how great Yu's achievements in flood control are.

By restoring the truth of history through mythology, we can know the source of the establishment of Shinto. For example, the Jade Emperor we often say, when you go to Luoyang to investigate, you will find that the Jade Emperor Temple and Jade Emperor Terrace are actually the "stones accumulated by Yu" where Dayu used to control the water. .

Dialectical relationship between Dayu and the Jade Emperor.

It is the dialectical relationship between the achievements of the ancient sage kings and the gods.

This is the "Three Dharma Seals" belonging to Huaxia Shinto, that is, the mythical figures who have historical prototypes and have contributed to civilization are the true gods and belong to the first-tier gods.

Taoism, on the other hand, set up its teachings with Shinto, from the earliest worship of the five elders to the three cleans and four emperors.

It is the mythical praise that breaks away from the historical prototype, and reaches the manifestation level of Tao. The Sanqing is the manifestation of Tao, and the Four Imperials are the manifestation of the rules of heaven and earth.

In this manifestation, there is also the manifestation of civilization - Haotian.

Our civilization originated in astronomy.

Haotian has been the highest belief since ancient times, so no matter how Shinto evolves, Haotian is always the supreme god.If there is conflict and incompatibility, then the myth of conflict is a false myth.

In this way, Zhang Zhixiang's arrangement of Shinto is first and foremost grading.

It's like layering on top of each other.

Level 0 is civilization, whether it is Haotian, which symbolizes civilization, the belief in heaven and earth, and the grand and transformed way of heaven.Sanqing and Siyu are based on the evolution of Tao.

The first layer is the holy king, whether it is the Jade Emperor, or Kuafu, or Gong Gong, Zhu Rong, and the five elders.

The second layer is those gods who have no historical prototypes but only duties and responsibilities except for the Sanqing and Siyu.

The third layer is dedicated to gods due to various historical achievements, such as famous ministers and generals, such as the city god of a certain place.

The fourth layer is formed after the spread of folklore and storybooks.

After such grading, if conflicts arise, the superior will prevail, and the Chinese mythology system will be clear at once. For the parts that are still unclear, the answer can be given after archaeological research, and it will not become a mess.

under a strict system.

Like the Christian religion, it is... the fourth floor.
