"Why did you change your name? Your appearance also changed?" Song Lin asked.
And Ying Zheng's body doesn't look like his.
"It's a long story. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, my disciple had already mastered the seven beads of heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, brain and eyes, and then the seven beads merged into one and became the master of the underground."
Being an underground master means that there is no need for Taiyin refining in the future, and one can exist forever. Although one cannot leave Mount Li, it is an existence that many monks dream of.
But who is Ying Zheng?
Even as an emperor, he wants to be the most powerful one, so naturally he is not willing to settle for a small underground master.
So I devoted myself to many years of research and developed a method of transforming the cicada into a yang.
To practice this method, you need to choose a sword. This sword must be smelted on Gengshen in the seventh month and quenched on the Xinyou day in August. It is three feet nine inches long, one inch and a quarter wide, and three and a half minutes thick.
The quenching water is not ordinary water, but the dew on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, and is made of Danshan soul (realgar), Liudanbai paste (hufen), and Beidi Xuanzhu (saltpetre) powder.
The sword made from this was called the Zhengyang Sword, and the corpse was dissected again with this sword.
In the past, corpse dissection was from yang to yin, while cicada transformation was from yin to yang.
After the cultivation was successful, Ying Zheng's spirit was reincarnated and reincarnated into the home of Jiangmen in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He practiced cultivation for many years before regaining his memory.
Because of habit, I call myself Zhengyang.
Later, the Buddhists traveled eastward, and the people of Lishan were killed by the Buddhists to scare the monkeys. Yingzheng went to help, but unexpectedly the Buddhists were so powerful that Yingzheng was seriously injured and escaped.
"The people from Fang Xiandao also came to the East China Sea with me, but they were all washed away by the waves."
In the days that followed, I stayed in Taodu Mountain.
"Okay, I'll call you Zhengyang from now on."
Ying Zheng is too famous. Since the other party has abandoned the past, he will use this name.
"Grandmaster, how do you know I am here?"
Zhengyang expressed his doubts.
"Is there a fingerprint on your clothes?" Song Lin looked at the faint fingerprint behind Zhengyang and said with a smile.
After that, a golden statue appeared from the Qiankun cloth bag. The golden statue, which was half human height and had no limbs, was suspended in the void.
The King of Hatred smiled awkwardly: "Hello, Mr. Ying Zheng!"
Zhengyang recognized this person at a glance.
"this is not……?"
"This person's handprint has tracking ability. Once you find Yugu, I will take you to find the descendants of Fang Xiandao."
Then let this guy tell the whereabouts of everyone in Fang Xiandao.
"My lord, it's right where you want to go," said the King of Hatred.
That day Brahma Emperor Long Luohan chased him to Taodu Mountain and was frightened back by two door gods. After that, he stopped going out to sea to trace the whereabouts of Fang Xiandao people and claimed to have exterminated the evil spirits.
"Just right, on the way."
The two of them flew to the far east together.
On the way, Song Lin roughly understood the hierarchy of the world.
Buddhism is divided into four levels of attainment: Sotapanna, Situagam, Anagami, and Arahant.
The latter two fruit positions are divided into large and small multiplications.
They respectively correspond to the four realms of fetal breath, refining qi, calming the mind, and forming elixirs.
Taoism also corresponds to the four realms of nourishing Qi, refining body, manifesting the holy dharma, and immortality.
"During the Han Dynasty, ancient inheritances came into being one after another, and many cultivation rules were determined accordingly."
"But we usually use the name of the Qi Refining and Calming Pill that you set up, the Patriarch."
Ying Zheng, like Song Lin, was in the state of manifestation, which is the period of concentration for cultivating the soul.
Only after you hone your spirit so that it can leave the body and leave the body can it be called a Dharma.
"That's it." Song Lin probably understood his position.
He is also considered a second-stage master in this world.
But it is not the top one. There are devas and Hinayana Arhats who are equivalent to the realm of elixir formation.
Once you get to Yugu, you can proceed to the next step of refining the spirit.
"Ding Shen? Isn't this a common name for the Demon Sect?" King Hater asked doubtfully.
"Momen? Shut up first."
Song Lin's mouth twitched. Has the reputation of Taoism in this world become like this?
It flew an unknown distance.
Suddenly, there were bursts of explosions from the front and people's cries of pain.
"stop!"
Song Lin waved his hand to stop everyone, and then several people slowed down and landed slowly.
Through the Taiyin Golden Eyes, two groups of people wearing different uniforms can be seen from a distance.
The group of people flying in the sky are monks, wearing cassocks and holding copper bowls, Zen staffs, rosary beads and other magical instruments.
Fight with the high-crested Taoist priest below.
The monk's magic weapon is sharp and the copper bowl is as big as a house. It can bounce away the fire snakes, water dragons, ghost heads and other spells flying from all directions.
Even flying swords cannot break the defense.
boom!
The leading monk struck out a red bead the size of a bowl.
The red pearl turned into a fire dragon and hit the leading woman hard.
"Huh!" The female Taoist groaned, and flew backwards, breaking a dozen large trees before stopping.
"Amitabha, the donor can be captured without any effort, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately!"
The leading old monk clasped his hands together.
This person's cassock is decorated with various gems, and it is obvious at a glance that he has a higher status than others.
"I didn't expect that the eminent monk of Pudu Zen Monastery would personally take action. I am so honored!" The female Taoist priest was helped up by the disciples.
The remaining twenty or so disciples formed a formation with her as the center.
"Master Wei! You lead the Demon Sect Fangxian Dao to cause trouble in the world and go against the general trend of the world. Even if I fly to the ends of the world, I will kill you!"
"The Demon Sect? If I don't stand in the same camp as you, I will be the Demon Sect? I think you are the Demon Sect!" the female Taoist priest, Taoist Master Wei, retorted.
After saying that, she turned to look at the only Taoist priest among the monks: "And you are a beast, do you think it will be okay if you take refuge in the bald donkey? Just wait until they kill the donkey!"
The Taoist priest was already old, with a face full of vicissitudes, and sighed:
"Master Wei, you are too stubborn. The eminent monk at Pudu Temple only wants peace in the world. The misunderstanding between the two parties is too deep. You can sit down and have a talk with the eminent monk at Pudu Monastery."
"Pooh!"
"Humph, you are so stubborn that the world cannot live up to the Demon Sect's wishes!"
The eminent monk who endured the suffering coldly snorted.
Wow!
The eminent monk who has overcome suffering stretched out his right palm, and a large golden handprint covering dozens of feet appeared in the sky.
boom!
The big handprints struck down firmly towards everyone.
Everyone in Fang Xiandao had no ability to resist, so they could only watch the handprints fall.
"Wait a minute!"
Whoosh!
There was a loud bang that pierced the air.
Flying swords burning with blazing flames came through the air, accompanied by two fire dragons, two water dragons and several thunder and lightning.
boom!
The big handprint was dried and shattered on the spot.
A figure appeared behind the monk at some point.
This man was standing under a red umbrella, with a girl in red behind him holding an umbrella for him, as if he appeared out of thin air.
"Grandmaster? Not good!" Du Ku's expression changed drastically, and he saw a bolt of lightning quickly hit his chest.
His chest was bloody and bloody, and he could no longer hold on through the pain, and his body fell straight down.
"Eminent Monk!"
"Zen Master!"
The monks said almost at the same time. Before they could react, countless rampant soldiers surrounded them.
On the other side, a man appeared in the direction where Master Duku fell.
"Do you know me?" Zhengyang smiled slightly, the spiritual sword beside him clanking.
"Demon Emperor Ying Zheng?"
Du Ku was shocked. He had seen Ying Zheng's portrait in ancient books.
This man was obsessed with evil and wanted to rule the world, and he also prevented the spread of Buddhism. He was besieged by the holy monks of Tianzhu and died.
Wasn't it destroyed? Why is it still alive?
"Demon Emperor? I like this title!"
Zhengyang's thoughts moved slightly, and the spiritual sword was drawn out, the light was as cold as thousands of feet.
puff!
The flying sword penetrated the brain.
The eminent monk who survived the suffering died.
On the other side, Erlang Shen led the Seven Saints to surround and kill other monks.
As the last body fell to the ground.
All these monks were annihilated.
The female Taoist priest below saw Song Lin and Zhengyang and knelt down in excitement.
"Meet the Patriarch of Guigu and the First Emperor!"
Hearing the words of the female Taoist priest, the rest of Fang Xiandao also knelt down and worshiped. They were extremely shocked. They did not expect that the founder was coming in person.
Recalling the legend, it is said that Patriarch Guigu has the ability to control ghosts and gods. Only Patriarch Guigu in the world has such power.
"Get up! Thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you, Patriarch!"
The female Taoist priest is named Wei Zixu, the ninth generation Taoist Master Fangxian.
She told what happened over the years.
"No wonder..." After hearing Wei Zixu's words, Song Lin suddenly realized and no longer had any doubts in his heart.
There are many reasons for the growth of Buddhism.
The fundamental reason is that the Han family only respected Confucianism, and Huang-Lao School and other ideas became marginal, and they united with others to fight against Confucianism.
To fight against Confucianism is to fight against the officialdom. In addition, the Taoist thought of inaction and freedom was considered negative, so it was labeled as a demon sect.
The rise of Buddhism is related to the fact that rulers and Confucians love its ideas, and they are powerful and able to fight against the Demon Sect.
Therefore, the rulers of the past dynasties all believed in Buddhism. Except for some fools who really believed in it, they basically set an example so that everyone in the world would follow suit.
The Taoists, known as the Demon Sect, all took refuge overseas and in remote mountains and rivers.
"Is the Patriarch descending to earth this time to lead the revival of the Taoist sect?"
