This is not the first time this has happened. The last time this happened was the last time...that is, the time when Yang Qingyuan gave Zhan Lu to Master Yu in the Yuewang Temple, and Zhan Lu recognized his master.

The awe-inspiring Confucian spirit in Zhanlu Sword automatically integrated into Yang Qingyuan's meridians, causing his original Taoist martial arts foundation to change, with Taoism as the foundation and Confucianism as the skin.

While integrating, it also made Yang Qingyuan's cultivation foundation more solid.

But initially this was not Yang Qingyuan's own wish, but an addition when Zhan Lujian recognized his master.

And now, this scene happened again, but the giver was not Zhan Lujian, but the old monk.

The true essence of Buddhism is vast and mellow, and in this regard it is even deeper than that of Taoism and Confucianism.

Although the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism continued, they also devalued each other. For example, during the imperial court's campaign to exterminate Buddhism, the Taoism took the opportunity to change the Eighteen Arhats of Buddhism into the Eighteen Sages, and made them wear Taoist buns and high crowns.

Buddhism is no less generous. In the stories spread among the people, the villains are basically lame Taoist priests and leprous-headed Taoist priests.

Although the two sides are fighting endlessly, this long-term battle also represents that the two sides are evenly matched to a certain extent. Moreover, the struggle between the two sides is not a struggle between Taoism and Buddhism, but a struggle between Taoism and Buddhism. The core of it is not a battle of ideas, but a battle of ideas.

It's a battle of faith.

The true essence transformed from Monk Kongwu's glazed Buddha body began to blend into the foundation of Yang Qingyuan's Taoism and Confucianism.

Buddhist practices also have their own miraculous qualities.

The innate true essence in Yang Qingyuan's body also began to mutate. The characteristics of the pure Buddhism, the righteousness of Confucianism, and the profound essence of Taoism began to be integrated into Yang Qingyuan's innate Wuji Kung.

But it’s just the beginning, the beginning that can’t be stopped.

Even if Yang Qingyuan doesn't want to, he has no choice at this time. The biggest problem at the moment is how to perfectly integrate and unify the true essence of these three gates.

There are many people who unify the three elements of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. For example, the sub-sage Xun Kuang in ancient times, the great Confucian Zhu Hui'an of the previous generation, Zhang Laodao, and the future classmate Xiao Wang.

These people have achieved the unification of the three elements of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, but these people are also revered as sages who manifest themselves in the world of mortals.

Integrating the three schools of thought into one is easy to say, but in fact it is an extremely troublesome matter.

It is not only about internal strength, but also about the reference of techniques, the fusion of Dharma, and the common destination of Tao.

If one of them is bad, the real energy of these three families will start to fight.

This is Yang Qingyuan’s challenge, but also his opportunity.

The theory of three-element unification is feasible, and some people have taken this path, but how to go about it is a question that Yang Qingyuan needs to think about now.

Fortunately, Yang Qingyuan has a huge number of books in his mind, which is almost equivalent to half of Tongwen Library.

When the three religions first met, they were not harmonious. Especially during the two to three hundred years of the Eastern Jin and Six Dynasties, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism argued, attacked, and slandered each other. The intensity almost reached its peak, but even so, many

It starts with the theory of the harmony of the three religions, which states that "all three religions are good" and that Confucius, Lao Lao and Shi are all saints.

This is the center where the thoughts of the three religions collide.

Although Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism compete with each other, discuss the similarities and differences in functions, and even slander and slander, they can eventually communicate with each other through "literary" without resorting to violence or starting a religious war. This is similar to a certain person named Jerusalem.

The places are very different.

Although Confucianism and Taoism have many differences in ideological concepts, they are less exclusive, more inclusive and harmonious, and have a strong ability to absorb other thoughts and cultures.

"The Doctrine of the Mean" contains: "All things grow together without harming each other, and the Tao runs parallelly without contradicting each other."

The Taoist sect’s point of view has always been that the sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is great. This can also be seen from Lou Guantai’s behavior. Over the past thousands of years, I don’t know how many people have rebelled against Lou Guantai Tianren Sect, but Lou Guantai really let Lou Guantai.

The only one who cleans up the gates of Guantai is the Blood River Sect.

All laws in the world lead to the same destination through different paths. This is the principle of Taoism that remains unchanged for thousands of years.

Buddhism also advocates inclusiveness between different religious thoughts. For example, Tang Zongmi's "Preface to the Theory of Huayan Yuanren" says: "Confucius, Lao Lao, and Sakyamuni are all holy saints. They respond to things at any time, set up special ways of teaching, and support each other internally and externally.

To benefit the people together, to work diligently in all endeavors...to punish evil and to encourage good, and to work together to govern, then all three religions can be followed."

Emperor Wen of the former Sui Dynasty worshiped Buddhism very deeply. In the third month of the first year of Kaihuang's reign, he wrote in an edict: "The Dharma has no inside or outside, and all good things come to the same end. There are shallow and deep teachings, and different paths lead to the same goal." Based on this view, the three religions can "share the same goal."

"Gui" is all about "guiding the people towards goodness", so Li Yuan, the emperor of the former Tang Dynasty, said: "Although the three religions are different, goodness is the same."

From then on, the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism had a common value orientation - to guide the people to do good.

The person who truly explained the origin of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism was Yang Qingyuan’s senior brother, Zhenwu Taoist Zhang Sanfeng.

Human beings and immortals are here in the mortal world, and the great road unifies the three religions.

Zhang Sanfeng's work "Tao Lun" gave the theoretical basis for the origin and unification of the three religions.

Yang Qingyuan did not expect that it would be his senior brother who saved him in the end...

The Tao of the Husband governs the birth of heaven and earth, birth of humans, and the names of living things. It contains the movement and stillness of yin and yang, and has the mysterious principles of creation. It unifies Wuji and gives rise to Taiji. Wuji is nameless, and the nameless one is the beginning of heaven and earth. Taiji is famous.

, The one who has a name is the mother of all things. If there is a name because there is no name, it is born, the earth is born, human beings are born, and things are born.

The Origin of the Great Way discusses the origin of all things in the world and the origin of life. It is a higher view of the universe that far surpasses Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.

But that day on Wudang Mountain, when Zhang Sanfeng was the master of extermination, and Zhou Zhiruo explained the Nine Yin Magic Art, the words began to linger in Yang Qingyuan's mind.

Confucianism is called Holy Teaching, which is based on loyalty and forgiveness, and is the gate of morality and righteousness. It cultivates one's character with intention and is consistent in holding on to the core; Buddhism is called Zen Buddhism, which is based on compassion and has no dual method. It understands one's mind and one's nature, and all things are unified; Taoism is called Xuanjiao, which is based on induction.

Based on this, Xuan Ni's Gate cultivates the mind and tempers the nature, holds the essence and maintains oneness.

Although there are three teachings, the principle is one.

A Confucian is one who practices Tongji; a Buddha is a person who understands the Tao and awakens the world; an Immortal is one who hides the Tao and saves people.

A Confucian cannot become a Confucian if he deviates from this Tao, a Buddha cannot become a Buddha if he deviates from this Tao, and an immortal cannot become an immortal if he deviates from this Tao. This is why he takes the Tao as his own responsibility.

Understood!

Yang Qingyuan's energy began to change again.

Under the guidance of Yang Qingyuan, the true essence of Taoism became the beginning of Tai Chi, while the true essence of Confucianism and Buddhism were separated into the positions of yin and yang, and the opposites were combined.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! No matter which one is Confucianism, Buddhism or Taoism, it cannot surpass the legal principles of Tai Chi Yin and Yang.

When the great road was about to be completed, Liu Wangshu looked at Yang Qingyuan and felt that although he was still adjusting his breath, the energy in his body had changed.

Liu Wangshu couldn't tell what the change was. He just felt that Yang Qingyuan's temperament at this time was a bit similar to the carefree Zhang Laodao on Wudang Mountain.

The true energy in Yang Qingyuan's body flowed through him, and all the hidden wounds left during the battle with the Blood River Sect Master were repaired.

The poison of Jinbo Xunhua, which was originally arrogant, was melted by this true essence and transformed into the breath of Buddhism.

The originally weird Blood River True Essence was purified under the suppression of this True Essence.

The originally violent thunder power became calm under the soothing of this true energy, and finally integrated into Yang Qingyuan's meridians.

Not only is it repaired, but Yang Qingyuan's cultivation realm has also made a qualitative leap. Perhaps with one more step, he can stand on the threshold of the heavenly realm.

As for breaking through to the realm of heaven and humans...then we can only rely on fate. The realm of heaven and humans can only be encountered but cannot be sought.

After a quarter of an hour, Yang Qingyuan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes complex.

"Confucianism and Taoism wear cassocks, purple bamboo with red roots and white heart buds, red lotus with white lotus root and green lotus leaves. The three religions originally belonged to the same family."

Kong Wu, who was already sitting cross-legged on the ground and whose life was coming to an end, had a knowing smile on his face when he heard the verses Yang Qingyuan was reciting.

After Yang Qingyuan turned around, he knelt on one knee in front of Kong Wu, "Thank you, Master, for your kindness!"

If Yang Qingyuan really achieves enlightenment, then nothingness will be an indispensable part of his path to enlightenment.

"Nawu Medicine Master Liuliguang King Buddha, I still have selfish motives in the end, and I don't want Marquis Yang to destroy my Buddhist sect."

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the former Yang Qingyuan was an enemy of Buddha.

When he entered politics, the Great Zhou Buddhist Professional Qualification Examination was established, which tightened the issuance of ultimatums, and tens of thousands of newly ordained monks became illegally ordained.

To measure and inventory Buddhist land, Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, and ordinary landowners must pay taxes.

Investigate gangsters and lawbreakers hiding in temples.

Monks are exempted from the privilege of not being required to do corvee service.

…

In short, because of Yang Qingyuan, Buddhism suffered the biggest blow since Shizong of the former Zhou Dynasty.

Yang Qingyuan is still the emperor's master, and he is also a close friend of Zaifu who came to visit during the weekend. If he continues to deal with Buddhism, the situation of Buddhism will become even more worrying.

In Kongwu's view, such people can only be friends, not enemies.

Nothing saves Yang Qingyuan, which is an opportunity.

His original intention was to use Buddhism's true energy to save the seriously injured Yang Qingyuan and let his true essence martial arts be infected with a bit of Buddhism. In this way, even if Yang Qingyuan continued to attack Buddhism in the future, he would still be grateful for his kindness and would not

Kill them all.

"I know what the master means, but the fact that the master saved me exists and will not change because of the master's thoughts."

No matter what Kongwu saved himself, he saved himself.

Even though Yang Qingyuan had just fought a battle with the Blood River Sect Master, only he knew the dangers involved.

Originally, he was poisoned by Jinbo Xunhua, which is like a tarsal maggot. Although most of its poison was resolved with Bodhi Heart, the remaining poison rooted in the spleen borrowed the soil of the five elements of the human body.

It can be said that it is extremely troublesome to grow trees from the soil.

Normally it would be fine, but in the battle between the two just now, Yang Qingyuan could not concentrate to suppress the room, and after the battle, the residual poison broke out. Jinbo Xunhua, a tiny bit can kill the Yuan Hua Realm, the poison is so strong that there is no second thought
