martial artist in the prehistoric

A look of understanding appeared on Jie Yin's face, "I see, junior brother is planning to have a great rise in demonism this time, and I, the Buddhist sect, will not interfere in this matter?"

"Yes, the great rise of the devil means the great road. We Buddhists can't defeat the devil no matter what. What's more, we have taken refuge in the devil, so why should we kill each other with our left hand and the right hand? We might as well hand it over to the Sanqing Dynasty.

They should deal with it." Zhunti sneered.

"Junior brother is saying that since we are no longer members of the Taoist sect, we naturally don't have to worry about it." Jie Yin and Zhunti looked at each other and each showed a smile.

————————————

The human world has been in turmoil since the death of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, the emperor who created the prosperous Tang Dynasty. After a bloody battle of wits, the martial arts scholar who once served as Li Shimin's concubine, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi

Empress Wu Meiniang finally ascended to the throne and became the first female emperor since the founding of the human world dynasty, and the only orthodox female emperor in history.

Wu Zetian proclaimed himself Emperor Wu Zhou, changed the country's name from "Tang" to "Zhou", made Luoyang the capital, and named it "the Divine Capital".

After Wu Zetian came to the throne, she felt deeply that the throne was unstable. After all, the Tang Dynasty belonged to the Li family. Now that it was stolen by her, the people below would naturally not be convinced. So she followed the story of the Li Tang Dynasty's admiration for Taoism.

Seize power yourself and add a divine aura.

Previously, in order to cling to the gods and treat the three religions, Confucius was posthumously transformed into the idol "Xian Sheng", "Grand Master", and "King Wenxuan"; Taoism in the human world completed its transformation into Taoism and was designated as the state religion.

The five thousand words of the Tao Te Ching became a Taoist classic, and Li Er became the leader of the "Laojun" religion. He also became the "Holy Ancestor" of the Li and Tang dynasties, and was posthumously given the title of "Emperor the Holy Ancestor".

Historical records also record that Li Shimin once moved to ask Xuanzang to translate the "Tao Te Ching" and give it back to Tianzhu, but Xuanzang firmly opposed it and failed. However, foreign Buddhism was explicitly stipulated by Li Shimin that the status of Taoists was higher than that of Buddhists, making Taoism always

On top of Buddhism.

Now, Wu Zetian saw that Buddhism had taken deep roots in China with the emergence of the Eastern Tiantai Sect, especially the most influential Zen Sect, so she completely overturned the situation of the previous three religions, vigorously promoted Buddhism, followed its own path, and clearly stipulated that Buddhists

The status is higher than that of Taoists.

In order to deify herself, Wu Zetian even collaborated with Buddhists to forge Buddhist scriptures, saying that the Buddhist scriptures had already revealed that the heroine was coming to court. In Longmen, Luoyang, Fengxian Temple is the largest grotto in the Tang Dynasty Grottoes in Longmen. This cave was excavated in

Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Ze

During Tian's reign, it was built in AD 67. The seated statue of Lushena Buddha in the center of the grotto is the largest Buddha statue in the Longmen Grottoes. It has a plump shape, a magnificent appearance, smooth clothing patterns, and a high degree of artistic appeal. It is an exquisite artistic masterpiece.

(Purely historical)

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

This Buddha statue perfectly combines noble sentiments, rich emotions, broad mind and elegant appearance, and has great artistic charm. This statue was sculpted based on Wu Zetian's face. Wu Zetian completely dressed herself up as

The incarnation of Buddha. And with her promotion, the concept of Buddha began to enter every household.

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 and more popular, and her dominant position has become more and more popular.

It is also more stable.

Later, Monk Tang returned from his journey to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures, and the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures he transmitted from the West made up for many deficiencies in Buddhist teachings in the East, making the people in the East more reverent and more religious, and almost squeezing Taoism out of the East.

Not only that, regarding Taoism, Wu Zetian also used an ingenious method of openly praising and secretly belittling them.

For example, some of the disciples of the Legalist School of Chan were appointed as cruel officials by Wu Zetian. Although they had a lot of power, they were all related to criminal law. This made countless people in the Eastern China feel disgusted with what the Legalists did.

When it reached its extreme, Legalism suffered an unprecedented blow.

The Taoist sect has always been in charge of the Sanqing. Now after the Great Tribulation of the Gods, the Shangqing Tongtian sage has gone into seclusion and will not appear again. Although I am the master of the Taoist sect, competing for incense and luck in the mortal world is not a matter of cultivation.

As long as you are high, you still need your own subordinates.

Laozi, originally the two of them always wore the same pair of trousers, but now the last force of the Chan Sect in the human world has been severely damaged. The entire Taoist sect can best be described as "living on and on". Even many Sanqing Taoist temples that were once prosperous have also been destroyed.

It was destroyed and abandoned, with few people visiting it. This is worse than ever. Even the Taoist classics were almost lost, which shows its extreme decline!

As a member of the Eastern Tu Sect, being so humiliated by outsiders on their own territory, many monks in the Taoist sect were naturally filled with indignation. They were so proud that they had always looked down on the remote places of Western Buddhism, and now they could not accept this fact. A group of Taoist sects

The gods could not wait to come down to earth and kill this daring Wu Meiniang, and they could not wait to start a war with Buddhism immediately to show off the male and female.

It's a pity that although the soldiers below have this intention, the two people above who are really in charge do not have this idea.

As the two supreme saints of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, they actually retreated at this moment. They always claimed to be the "Pangu Authentic Sect". Hongjun was the first and Erqing, the second, actually went into seclusion. He didn't even say a word to his disciples and disciples.

He just went into seclusion, which puzzled countless monks.

However, the seclusion of the two people only caused confusion among some juniors in the Taoist sect, and the rest did not cause much trouble. But outside Buddhism, without the obstruction of the Taoist Sanqing, the power of Buddhism is like a fire, burning brightly

, as if to unify the entire three realms.

Without the saints from all heavens as the backstage, facing the two saints of Buddhism, any resistance is as small as ants. After the two saints retreated, the disciples of Chanjiao and Laozi also went back to retreat, and there was no backbone.

Without support, the saintly religious traditions from all walks of life almost collapsed one after another, reaching the point of destruction.

However, this is not really over yet.

The various religions retreated, and even Nuwa had to recruit all the monsters from Luzhou, Beiju, to the heaven, and let them temporarily gather in Bai Ze's seat to avoid being affected by Buddhism. The heaven is the most special realm in the universe.

, no one dares to interfere, because there is that supreme existence behind him, and no one dares to infringe.

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 primitive world in order to fool Sun Wukong. It is also the place where many gods and goddesses in the heaven discuss matters.

It is also the place where heaven issues orders.

Now that Buddhism is about to flourish, the figures of Guangming and Yaochi in the heaven have disappeared directly. Although the other gods have left their clones, their original bodies have also gone home to retreat. It is obvious that they also know that Buddhism is too powerful now.

, even the emperors and queens of heaven were afraid of them, let alone them. As a result, Buddhism occupied the heaven and monopolized the fortune of the nine heavens.

And in the Nether Sea of ​​Blood, what if Styx, the patriarch who claims that the blood sea will never dry up and the Styx is immortal, has combat power comparable to that of a saint? At this moment, under the general trend of heaven, he is also the target of being crushed, and the entire blood sea shrinks directly.

Half of it, you said, the other half was directly cut off by Zhun Li with a slap, and turned into a blue sea. As the only place for Buddhism to attract ghosts to join the religion - "Xumi Sea", there is a letter "The sea of ​​suffering has no limit.

When you turn around, you will find the shore."

In the underworld, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who was originally very low-key, is now beginning to compete with the Ten Palaces of Hell for the right to reincarnate. The underworld is equivalent to a vast world! If you can really take away the luck here,

Enlightenment and becoming a saint are just a matter of effort.

Faced with Ksitigarbha's rudeness, the Ten Palaces of Hell originally planned to kill him directly, but just when they were about to take action, Fengdu sent a message to them, telling them to ignore it and give control of the underworld to Buddhism.

Although the Tenth Palace Hell King was very puzzled, they had to listen to Fengdu's words.

For a time, almost all the fortunes of the entire prehistoric world, heaven, earth, and the three realms of man, converged on Buddhism. This vast fortune was enough for one person to immediately attain enlightenment and become a saint. Unfortunately, although Buddhism flourished, the number of people was scattered.

It's too broad, but even so, this vast fortune has added countless talents to Buddhism, and more than a dozen Daluo Golden Immortals have achieved breakthroughs and become quasi-sages.

What shocked the gods and Buddhas even more was that Tathagata Buddha, who had already initially reached the pinnacle of quasi-sage, now relied on this luck to reach the perfection of quasi-sage. He only had to understand the laws of heaven to become a saint immediately.

All in all, Buddhism has flourished, flourished, and is completely prosperous!

A fire of prosperity burns all over the three realms, going nowhere. It looks down from all directions and has no opponent.
