Journey to the West, this Sun Wukong is too persuasive

Before meeting Liu Xiu this time, Sun Wukong also looked at the posts he posted on Zhihu last time and found that there were some replies from netizens worth paying attention to.

He is coming every day: "Now that Buddhism has been driven out of Nanfangbuzhou, the many temples they left behind must be used. Brother Monkey can definitely ask Liu Xiu to convert these Buddhist temples into Chenghuang temples to avoid wasting resources."

Dancing note: "You can't just build the City God's Temple, but also allocate part of it to the gods in heaven and change it into various temples. In this way, you can bind the gods in heaven through faith to fight against Buddhism."

Initial appearance: "I think we can go one step further. Why is it necessary to promote Buddhism and Taoism? Wukong can definitely go to the Taoism boss to discuss and let the Taoism faith of the human race appear in advance."

Seeing Acacia on the other side of the flower blossoms: "This is possible! Except for a few demons, most Taoists advocate inaction, which will not have much impact on the human race's political power, and will not squeeze the living space of the people."

What is love and what is love: "According to the imitation of the subject, Brother Monkey has a good relationship with Taishang Laojun, and in the world of mythology, Laozi, the founder of Taoism, is the incarnation of Taiqing Sage."

Lonely Salted Fish: "There were two early founders of Taoism, one was Huangdi and the other was Laozi. Their thoughts were collectively called Huang-Lao thought, which was a school of thought before the emergence of Taoism.

Judging from this relationship, Taoism is a religious belief that truly belongs to the Dongtu people, and it is completely feasible. "

Lulabai: "I remember that Taoism was established at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It can indeed appear one or two hundred years in advance, allowing local Taoist priests to fight against foreign monks."

Immortality must be destroyed: "When Humanity becomes strong, Yun Dynasty can appear. I think the most reasonable structure is for Humanity Yun Dynasty to adopt these sectarian beliefs for its own use.

Our civilization has this kind of tolerance. It is said that the sea is open to all rivers and is tolerant. In this way, humanity will definitely be stronger! "

A lonely boat letting go of cranes: "Finally embarked on the path of the merger of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism..."

[You have received a new suggestion: Ask Liu Xiu to change the Buddhist temple in Nanfangbuzhou into a Chenghuang Temple and a palace for the immortals in heaven. Complete the suggestion to get a third-level treasure chest]

[You have received a new suggestion: discuss with Taishang Laojun to establish a Taoist gate in the human race in advance. Complete the suggestion to obtain a fourth-level treasure chest]

After receiving the suggestion, Sun Wukong thought about it for a while.

The replies from these netizens opened up his ideas.

In fact, he had long thought of converting many Buddhist temples into Chenghuang temples.

Some netizens said that part of it should be converted into a temple dedicated to the immortals in heaven. This is a new idea, and it is really a clever idea!

Later, when he met Liu Xiu, he also expressed this idea.

This time he and Liu Xiu talked all night long and taught a lot of things.

The next day, the civil servants and generals in the Han court were surprised to find that the always diligent emperor did not go to court for the first time, and did not show up for the next three days.

If everything in the palace was not fine, everyone would have thought something had happened.

But soon, Liu Xiu summoned the ministers to discuss state affairs.

Reforms, inventions, and major measures that shocked the ministers were implemented one after another.

Unlike Wang Mang's reform, Liu Xiu did not introduce a system like the imperial examination system that could hollow out the foundations of aristocratic families.

Instead, they first chose to promote innovative farming equipment, papermaking, printing, smelting, etc. to popularize culture and improve productivity levels.

Because he is still very young and has just reached his prime, he has plenty of time to change the world.

At present, it is necessary to lay a solid foundation for the Han Dynasty, such as the imperial examination system and the system of dividing one person into one mu, so that they can be introduced one after another.

But even so, when they saw these innovative technologies, the ministers were still shocked. They all understood that the entire world would change drastically as a result.

In addition, Liu Xiu also issued special decrees to reform religious affairs.

According to Sun Wukong's instructions, he wanted to transform the thousands of Buddhist temples that Wang Mang had built in various places into City God temples, and confer the title of City God to the local respected ancestors.

In addition, many Buddhist temples have been converted into temples dedicated to the gods of heaven to replace people's belief in Buddhism.

After everything was arranged, it was late at night again, and Liu Xiu stood on the steps of Weiyang Palace with his hands folded.

He first looked up at the sky full of stars, and then looked at the vast earth, thinking about the future that Master Sun finally described to him, that more powerful world.

"Heroic spirits, totems..." Liu Xiu was full of expectations.

There are divine ways in the sky, there are underworlds on the earth, and people have heroic spirits.

If humanity is strong, why should humans believe in the gods and Buddhas that fill the sky?
……

On the other side, Sun Wukong returned to Heaven and went straight to Tushita Palace.

During the last Peach Festival, Mo Luo led [-] demonic soldiers to attack the Heavenly Palace, shaking the seal of the Sky Mender, allowing Luo Hu from outside the territory to extend a hand into the Three Realms through the Heavenly Cave.

In the end, Taishang Laojun used the innate treasure Tai Chi Diagram to repel Luo Tian's hand.

And this also allowed Sun Wukong to see the strength of Taishang Laojun.

Although the three corpse incarnations of the saint are in the quasi-sage realm, their strength is still the pinnacle of the three realms today.

When he came to visit again this time, Sun Wukong was as usual, casual and respectful. After all, Taishang Laojun taught him the art of weapons and formations, and he was like a master and a disciple.

Taishang Laojun is still studying the method of refining the spiritual guide, and he is only one step away from refining the acquired treasure.

However, this step may take tens of thousands of years, or even 10 years to break through.

Of course, it could also be a matter of seconds.

At this moment, Sun Wukong came to pay his respects. He did not stop refining the weapon. He still let Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao shake the banana fans, and the fire in the Bagua furnace was booming.

After the Monkey King saluted, Taishang Laojun said: "Every time you monkey comes, something big happens."

Jinjiao and Yinjiao nodded in agreement,

Sun Wukong laughed and said: "As for the Patriarch, what I do is beneficial to the world, otherwise the Patriarch would not see me."

Taishang Laojun waved his whisk: "Tell me, what is it for this time?"

Sun Wukong took a few steps forward, scratched his hands and said, "It's nothing. I recently discovered in the lower world that there was a Laozi in the history of the human race in Nanfangbuzhou. His understanding of Tao is quite consistent with that of the ancestor.
Later generations referred to him as Huang-Lao thought together with the thoughts of the Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi. They also merged with other schools of thought such as the Yin-Yang School, with many followers, and the sect has already taken shape. "

Taishang Laojun's expression did not change, but he was very surprised. He took a serious look at the Monkey King in front of him.

Although he did not deliberately hide his layout in the lower world, if he did not have an in-depth understanding of the hundreds of years of human history, it would be impossible to discover the seeds he left in the human race as Lao Tzu.

How long has it been since Sun Wukong joined the human race?It had only been 20 years, but this monkey was a little more careful than he expected.

Now that it has been exposed, Taishang Laojun did not hide it. He smiled and said: "I am an incarnation of me when I had nothing to do and walked in the lower world."

Nothing happened back then?

Sun Wukong didn't believe this, and he asked directly: "In that case, why didn't the Patriarch take this as an opportunity to establish another Taoist sect in the human race?
Can other Buddhists spread the Dharma in Nanfangbuzhou?We should also build a Taoist gate. Taishang Laojun shook his head gently: "You know that the Buddha is established by heaven, so you should know the reason. The time to establish a Taoist gate has not yet come." "

Sun Wukong continued: "He teaches his Dharma, and I teach mine, what's the point?
To be honest with the founder, now the human realm, like the earth realm, also has hope of improvement.

Does the Patriarch want to watch helplessly as Buddhism takes up all the benefits of improving humanity? "

Taishang Laojun did not answer. He thought for a while and then said, "How sure are you?"

Sun Wukong vowed: "Ten points!"

Taishang Laojun didn't say anything else. He believed the monkey's words and immediately asked Jinjiao to call Zhang Tianshi, one of the four great heavenly masters. At the same time, after informing the Jade Emperor, he ordered Zhang Tianshi to reincarnate and come down to earth to preside over the establishment of the Taoist sect. .

This arrangement made Sun Wukong a little surprised and enlightened.

According to Zhihu netizens, the sign of the emergence of the Taoist sect of the human race is the teaching of Zhang Daoling, the Heavenly Master Taishang Laojun, standing at attention.

This is all right, but the time is much earlier.

At this point, he had also completed discussing with Taishang Laojun the proposal of establishing a Taoist sect, and obtained another fourth-level treasure chest.

Coupled with Liu Xiu's suggestion to rebuild a Buddhist temple, he also got a third-level treasure chest.

Sun Wukong was not in a hurry to open the treasure box. After Zhang Tianshi came down to earth, he said to Taishang Laojun: "I heard that the most precious treasure of the human race is the Kongtong Seal, which can suppress the luck of the human race.

This treasure was originally in the hands of the three emperors and five emperors of the human race, but later fell into the hands of the ancestor? "

Taishang Laojun nodded: "Yes, because I am the leader of the Human Religion. Before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors entered the Huoyun Palace, they were worried that future generations of kings would use this treasure to go against the grain and cause trouble to the world, so they temporarily gave the Kongtong Seal to me for safekeeping."

After Sun Wukong confirmed this, he said with a smile: "Hey, Patriarch, since it is temporarily kept, if the human race becomes stronger than in ancient times, should this human race's treasure be returned to others?"

Taishang Laojun also laughed: "You monkey head, do you think I am a robber? It's useless if I want it. You can take it if you want, but remember to return it to the human race in the future."

After saying that, he took out a brilliant divine seal.

Sun Wukong was not polite, he took it immediately and held it in his hand with a smile: "Don't worry, Patriarch, how can Old Sun be greedy for other people's treasures?"

After he left, Taishang Laojun sat cross-legged in front of the Bagua stove and meditated for a long time.

Although he didn't ask, he also knew what Sun Wukong wanted the Kongtong Seal to do. It was obviously prepared for the emperor who had just proclaimed himself emperor in the mortal world.

It can also be seen from this point that Sun Wukong is indeed very confident about the improvement of humanity.

"It's getting more and more chaotic." Taishang Laojun shook his head.

He could still clearly see some of the current situation in the Three Realms, but as Sun Wukong did more and more things, the situation became increasingly chaotic.

However, it is becoming increasingly clear that the changes Sun Wukong has made now are beneficial to the world.

I just hope this momentum can continue.

Thinking of this, Taishang Laojun glanced at the west, and then looked at the direction of Kunlun Mountain.

He thought to himself, Sun Wukong was said to be the biggest variable in the past, but actually these two parties are the variables now.

……

After Sun Wukong left Tushita Palace, he immediately opened the two treasure chests he had just obtained.

[You have opened the third-level treasure box. Congratulations on gaining the understanding of the Law of Instruments (Fifth Level) and the Law of Formation (Fifth Level)]

[You have opened the fourth-level treasure chest. Congratulations on gaining insight into the Law of the Stick (eighth level) and the Law of the Arrow (eighth level)]

As the reminder sounded in his mind, his Taoist realm was improved again, especially the stick Taoist law and the Arrow Taoist law, which directly broke through from the seventh level of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal level to the eighth level.

Stronger than before!
Sun Wukong scratched his face and was a little disappointed. He was holding on to the hope of opening the Kongtong Seal.

However, he also understood that the chance of getting the best rewards from the third-level and fourth-level treasure chests was too low after all, and being able to get Taoist Enlightenment was already a good reward.

So he quickly felt relieved and contacted various places again.

He had to negotiate the establishment of a totem system before humanity manifested, which required wooing many forces.

In terms of suggested difficulty alone, a suggestion that can reward an eighth-level treasure chest is obviously not something that can be completed just by completing it.

Next, Sun Wukong's footprints spread all over the Three Realms. He went to many places and negotiated totem matters with many monsters and gods born from the monsters.

Needless to say, the six kings of the demon world, including the Bull Demon King, the Dragon Demon King, and the Peng Demon King, have been waiting for him to recruit them for a long time.

There were others like the Pleiades Star Official, the Jade Rabbit Spirit, the Roaring Sky Dog, etc. When he went to recruit them, he went to their elders or masters.

In this process, the relationships he has accumulated over the years have been of great use.

Although with his strength and the status of Emperor Ziwei, coupled with the benefits of becoming a human totem, he can be followed by countless monsters.

But without the foundation of previous relationships, it may take a long time for him to contact various places, and the forces he can win over will be much less, which will undoubtedly affect his layout.

In the blink of an eye, 30 years have passed.

Sun Wukong transformed into Taoist Sun, and came to Chang'an City of the human race. He walked on the bustling streets, watching the great changes that had taken place in the human race over the years, and feeling the ubiquitous high-spirited momentum.

He understood that the time had come for humanity to manifest!
And this is also the time to test Dao Ancestor.

If it is true, as some Zhihu netizens said, that there is something wrong with Dao Ancestor's position and that he must always place humanity under the way of heaven, then there will be unimaginable obstacles when humanity manifests this time.

In other words, heavenly punishment!
The human race can prosper, but it does not mean that humanity also has the opportunity to become strong.

Later, Sun Wukong came to Weiyang Palace and saw Liu Xiu sitting high in the hall. He smiled even more.

It has been 50 years. He watched Liu Xiu's birth, named him Xiu, and taught Liu Xiu to grow up as Taoist Master Sun, step by step to where he is today.

According to the lifespan of the human race, the little baby back then has actually begun to enter old age.

However, because of drinking his monkey wine, Liu Xiu did not become old or anything like that. He was still young and strong, and had enough time to continue changing the world.

In fact, Liu Xiu has done a lot in the past 30 years.

Not only did it solve the family's chronic problems, but it also increased the number of human beings in Nanfangbu Continent tenfold, and brought about earth-shaking changes in all walks of life.

After Sun Wukong posted these changes to the Zhihu platform, some Zhihu netizens said that this was the completion of the upgrade of agricultural civilization, something that took nearly 30 years to accomplish in 2000 years. (End of chapter)
