The emperor of the Song Dynasty worshiped the gods of the Jin Dynasty and was promised protection by him. Judging from the subsequent situation, he was indeed right. In the early days of the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty did have a tendency to revive, especially the Northern Expedition.
The wars have been won repeatedly, and it is indeed a good situation from the appearance point of view.
"What is the origin of this divine king in the north? He does not protect his own country, but does his best to fulfill the wishes of Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty?"
"I'm afraid this is a means to obtain the entire inheritance of Dynasty Avenue."
Zhang Sanfeng was amused, and Ji Xiang explained. After all, the Song Dynasty was orthodox in all senses. Even though the dynasty avenue was split into several parts during that period, the one here in the Song Dynasty was probably the most special one.
During the Tang Dynasty, there was an attempt to build a humane legal realm to control the way of heaven. In the Forbidden Legal Realm, the shadow of Emperor Jianwen relayed that this matter failed and no descendants would do it again. It was not restarted until the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.
Construction, and although they have summarized the lessons of previous generations, their own methods are still not effective.
In the process of thousands of years of inheritance, there are countless precious things lost in wars and famines, as well as various conspiracies, struggles for power, and even unintentional things, not to mention such extremely important things in the humane and legal world.
If it is discovered in troubled times, it will immediately be fought over and dismantled by various forces.
Not to mention that after the Tang Dynasty, there was a period of great chaos in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The humane legal world must have been dismantled. It also experienced a period of minor chaos in Dali, Song, Liao, Jin, Xixia, etc., so that when the historians of the Yuan Dynasty were compiling history books, they did not know who the orthodox court was.
, after all, from a legal perspective, the Song Dynasty is orthodox, but the Song Dynasty also proclaimed itself a minister to the Liao and Jin Dynasties, so what does this mean? In the end, I could only edit one book for each of the Liao, Jin, and Song families.
Just like what the shadow of Emperor Jianwen said in the Forbidden Realm.
This humanistic legal world originated in the Tang Dynasty, split in the Five Dynasties, changed in the Song Dynasty, moved to the Jin Dynasty, was defeated in the Yuan Dynasty, and disappeared in the Ming Dynasty.
The current humane legal world has become the Forbidden Legal Realm. Strictly speaking, it is a castrated version. It is not what all dynasties expected. It is just a product of the second best to the original ultimate goal.
"But if you want to get all the inheritance, wouldn't it be a better choice to destroy the Song Dynasty and replace it yourself?"
Zhang Sanfeng felt that Ji Xiang's explanation was feeble. He was from the end of that era. Although he was not as old as the old pig demon in front of him, he had caught up with the last train of the Song Dynasty's defeat. If King Shentian had had the courage to bring the dynasty back to life,
Divine power means that he can affect the changes in the human world. This is at least one of the four heavenly states of mind that can take care of the human world throughout the ages.
Lord Hai Shen said: "You two immortals, do you know the four minds?"
After all, he is a pig demon who survived the Song Dynasty. Even if he doesn't care about worldly affairs, there are some things that you will naturally feel when you reach the level of cultivation. And hundreds of years have passed. There are no people who ascended after the Yuan Dynasty. It does not mean that there were no people who ascended before the Yuan Dynasty.
, and during the Song Dynasty, Lishanhe Immortals frequently showed their sacredness and never completely cut off contact with Biaoshanhe.
"Of course Tianxin knows about it, is it the realm of Tianxin... so-called True Monarch, Tianzun, anyone with such a title in the mortal sect is a person at Tianxin level."
"However, before that, I have a question for the Lord God to answer. It turns out that before the Song Dynasty, Lishanhe could frequently send immortals to the next world?"
When Ji Xiang asked this question, Hai Shenjun said: "There is no need to call me God Lord, just call me Lao Hai. It does not count as the next life. If you enter the mountains and rivers, you cannot return to the human world. This is within the classics of various sects. The great event known as 'becoming an immortal and becoming a Buddha' involves various pure lands in the East, various spiritual mountains in Buddhism, and Confucianism is said to have its own shrine and the establishment of a Confucian sage dynasty."
Zhang Sanfeng heard this with interest: "Old senior..."
Hai Shenjun said quickly: "Don't dare, Wudang Immortal is in front of you, how dare I call you senior, you can just call me Lao Hai. Shenjun is just a name for animals in the mountains. According to the corresponding points of the four o'clock and the twelve o'clock, It's just a title that was added when I became a spirit, how could I call myself this in front of the Immortal?"
Zhang Sanfeng laughed: "Don't worry, you are so much older than me. It's normal to call you senior. We are just chatting. But what is this Confucian sage dynasty you are talking about? I have lived for hundreds of years... I have lived." I haven’t heard of it in 180 years.”
"Chinese."
Hai Shenjun brought out the name of an ancient dynasty, which was actually the Han Dynasty.
"Chinese?"
Both the master and the disciple had questions. Hai Shenjun explained: "I also heard what my great demon master said back then. He seemed to be a disciple of an ancient immortal sect and had some inheritance, but he didn't teach me everything because I was not him. A true disciple.”
"According to him, in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, it seems that at least four emperors are still alive in the world. This is due to the influence of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty..."
An idea suddenly appeared in Ji Xiang's eyes: "Han Zhang Bailiang! Gold and bronze Immortal Dew Tray!"
"Yes! It's exactly this!"
Lord Hai Shen affirmed: "According to my teacher, the Golden Bronze Immortal Dew Plate has indeed allowed several Han emperors to live for a long time. It seems that it takes a hundred years to achieve success for one person. However, since the demise of the Han Dynasty, this ability seems to have It was also cut off due to the damage of the dew-bearing plate."
"Of course, it's more likely that the Han Dynasty has run out of energy, so there's no reason for the emperor to become an immortal anymore. After all, they don't even exist as emperors anymore."
"Although the Han emperors existed a long time ago, they still left some traces in the world. Maybe the medium for them to become immortals was the dew plate, coupled with the luck of the Han Dynasty? It's roughly like this Well, it's just some boring thoughts I had in the past, otherwise it would have been very simple for emperors throughout the dynasties to want to practice cultivation, after all, no one has greater control over the world's resources than them."
Can a person be successful in a hundred years?
Ji Xiang murmured in his heart, then the four hundred years of Han Dynasty should have truly perished when Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty abdicated to Emperor Wen of Wei. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not the founder of the country. Assuming that he was the first to become an immortal on the Chenglu Pan ....After all, there is indeed a legend that Han Wu went to immortality with the Queen Mother of the West. There will be two Han emperors later, and the last one became an immortal with the help of this dew plate. Because the Han Dynasty has died, the fourth hundred years will not be enough. , so the person who became an immortal was probably not the Han Emperor...
This idea just flashed in my mind.
There are some strange secrets in the Han Dynasty, such as the large number of Han immortals who are now resurrected, and the fragments of the dew plate that can be used to create Rihua in the hands of King Lu. Dongfang Shuo, Dong Zhongshu, Shemo Teng, Zhu Falan, and Zhang Daoling are known to have five of the four heavenly kings. And these five people, whether they are the earliest Dongfang Shuo or the last Zhang Daoling, are the first people to enter Lishanhe, and without exception, although the time span is quite large, they are all Han people.
Hai Shenjun is talking about Confucianism:
"Confucianism has its own kingdom of God, but it is very mysterious. It is not described clearly in human classics, so that the only word used has been replaced by the words of Buddhism and Taoism."
"In the past, it was called the other side of the world, which means crossing the river. In the Han Dynasty, it was called the Zhaoming World. In the current world, it was called the Taixu World."
Related to the word Taixu, Ji Xiang cheered up a little.
However, there are many things in the world with the word Taixu. The world of Taixu sounds like a contrast to the world of Fuli, like a shadow...
"But no matter which world it is, there is one name that has not changed from beginning to end. The place where the Confucian divine kingdom is located, whether it is Bian'an, Zhaoming or Taixu, is all called Huangtian."
"There is a saying in the Book of Rites that the flesh and bones die in the lower Yin and become wild soil, and their energy spreads upward to become Zhaoming, and the wormwood is desolate. This is the essence of all things and the work of God."
"People in the Han Dynasty said: Heaven has five names, each with its own appropriate name. If you respect it and rule it, you will call it Huangtian."
"So, my personal guess is that the Confucian sage dynasty in Lishanhe is still in the Han Dynasty, but why it is not continued in the human world, I don't know. The most common guess is that their destiny has been exhausted. With some thinking, maybe
It's because their respective states are not good, or maybe the Han emperors didn't think about things in the world after they became immortals. After all, Lishanhe was the so-called heaven in ancient times."
"How can people who have gone to heaven care about the affairs of the lower world?"
Ji Xiang: "Where is Tianxin? Tell me why Tianxin makes you care?"
Lord Hai Shen said: "That's exactly what I'm talking about! When the dynasty changes, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and alchemists, these three religions are first-rate, and each of them will have a heavenly heart that will appear close to the world and look after the changes of the past dynasties. Once the dynasty changes,
, Tianxin will be replaced in the same way. They have a certain purpose in watching each era. They monitor in order to achieve something, or indirectly intervene in human disputes, just like what is described in those ancient books.
..."
"Immortals, under the True Lord and the Heavenly Lord, serve as their bodyguards and travel all over the world. In the ancient divine paintings and murals, when the True Lord and the Heavenly Lord travel, there are always many nameless immortals accompanying them, right?
"
In today's world, the outer mountains and rivers do not have the power to maintain the form and spirit of immortals, and the separation between the outer and inner mountains and rivers is naturally serious. Immortals cannot descend. If they descend, they will lose their Tao, Xing, form, and spirit, and they may even be unable to return. This all comes at a huge price.
The same goes for the immortals in Biaoshanhe. Zhang Sanfeng has been rejuvenated and reborn several times after hundreds of years. In today's environment, the immortals who have stayed in Biaoshanhe for a long time have to pay a lot of money to maintain their existence.
, otherwise we must fly to Lishanhe.
However, this is not necessarily true for Zhang Tianshi, Ji Xiang thought, now that the Forbidden Dharma Realm has been achieved, although it is a severely emasculated version of the pseudo-human Dharma Realm, there should be no problem in maintaining the existence of just one immortal.
"The purpose of this Godly King can be known from his help to Emperor Qinzong. He did not intend to destroy the Song Dynasty, but rather to help the other party. Although there was such a thing as fattening up and then killing him, but from the subsequent performance of the Song Dynasty
From the looks of it, it’s just a play-off. If you’re in a heavenly state of mind, you wouldn’t do such a thing that would cause you to get burned.”
Zhang Sanfeng thought: "Unless this god was betting on the Song Dynasty a long time ago? I do know that Li Shanhe has been controlling all the forces in Biao Shanhe, and they all have their own targets, so there will be no sudden change of camp.
....”
It seems that a big undercover agent has been discovered. If he is not Tianxin, he is also a big shot who has the ability to reverse the secrets of heaven. The mention of God in his words indicates that it is related to the Confucian world of Huangtian?
"If you put it this way, he is at best a descended Confucian sage."
Ji Xiang felt that this matter didn't seem that important anymore. It seemed that Confucianism had a hand in it, and now the Song emperors in the underworld were offering sacrifices to this god, and wanted to use his shell to go public, and get his help by the way?
This can also explain why Feng Xiucai asked the heavenly king which system of gods he was, but the other party became furious. After all, he is the god of your own family. If you still ask this and that, you deserve to fail the exam.
.
"That's not necessarily true. I didn't really hear Emperor Qinzong say those words. My spiritual enlightenment was only a matter of Emperor Gaozong's time. Words from the north were passed around and spread to the south, so they would naturally be lost.
part."
It is difficult to discuss the secrets of the Divine King. Regarding the giant tomb and that strange world, Ji Xiang can only think that some kind of Dharma Realm has appeared in the world, so that he can look back at some scenes from the past era. When this matter is over, he can only
Seal the boundary of Taiping Town and ask the monsters in the surrounding mountains to observe it.
Ji Xiang and Zhang Sanfeng invited Hai Shenjun to practice in Wudang Mountain. This made Hai Shenjun flattered and said that he was a monster, how could he enter the mountain of tranquility?
Ji Xiang then told him that the imperial court is now employing people, and there are already many demon kings who have surrendered, and are about to be awarded the title of divine general. In the future, they may all be colleagues, and they will help you when they become immortals. All you need to do is work hard.
The end of the universe is the system, the end of the system is iron...
Oh, at this period, Tieling is not the end of the establishment. At least the immortals there have no establishment.
"The Divine Lord has never harmed anyone, and has been hiding in the mountains for a long time to practice hard. This is a noble demeanor, why should he be called a monster?"
Zhang Sanfeng has no prejudice against this. After all, the sect he founded before was full of monsters.
Ji Xiang rode the Pegasus back to the mountain, summoned a group of monsters, and asked the monsters to block the ancient town and not allow anyone to enter or exit. If anything unusual happened, he would quickly go to Wudang Mountain to report it. There would be benefits at that time, and he would let them pass.
The token immediately gave them some sweetness, and waves of incense emitted, making the monsters energetic!
They were all mountain monsters and had never been worshiped by anyone. They had never seen such pure power of incense. At that time, they felt comfortable all over, as if they were about to break through several realms and temper their demon bones and demon blood. They were all happy.
He burst into laughter, patted his chest and promised Ji Xiang that if there was any problem, he would immediately go to Wudang to report it.
"Well, you will do more things in the future. You will all be god generals and worship in the temple at the foot of the mountain. You will not have to fight every day and look for blood. If you have done harm to others in the past, you will have to atone more in the future. If not, in the future, you will
Don’t be harmful to others anymore.”
The old donkey demon immediately smiled flatteringly: "What did the Immortal say? There are many monks in Xiangyang City, and the nearby villages are covered by them. There is also the Wudang Holy Land here. Thank God if those monks don't come to attack us. This place
This is a remote Yangsha territory. How can we dare to harm others? We usually just kill each other to fight for territory. Now that the Immortal has promised us, we don’t have to do the killing anymore. We can just accept incense and offer sacrifices to the gods.
"
Monsters don’t necessarily have to eat people to survive. Most of the time, eating people is fun. It’s purely for eating and playing with teeth. However, this is also risky. After all, the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were separated. Today’s monks are all Ming Dynasty monks.
It's a big city, and it was a key target of assistance in the early Ming Dynasty. So whose great monk doesn't have a few mortal relatives?
It's really not worth it for Tu to be happy with his words for a while, and then be dismissed by the nine tribes.
Ji Xiang also asked them to report to Wudang Announcement as soon as possible if they saw any divine statues such as the King of Gods appearing. At the same time, he also filled in some details, including the fact that Taiping Town was an ancient town in the Song Dynasty and the mention of the underworld.
Most of the ghosts were cast by demons in the Song Dynasty, so they should also be careful of strange ghosts appearing here.
After Ji Xiang and the other three left, the monsters in the mountains celebrated that they were about to have a system. So during the discussion, they naturally talked about the Taiping Ancient Town. At this time, they also knew that this town was left by the Song Dynasty, but for
For these monsters from the Ming Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was really an extremely long dynasty, not to mention that most of the monsters had no culture.
The old donkey demon stood up at this time. He was considered a somewhat educated person among these mountain demons, and he told everyone some basic common sense about the Song Dynasty.
"Master Donkey, this makes it clear. It turns out that the Song Dynasty is not serious about conquering the world. It is incomparable with the Taizu of our dynasty!"
There are monsters making noises. After all, there must be a system. At this time, they must brag about Ming Taizu, but in their eyes, this is not a big brag. Then which of the founding emperors in the past did not have magical legends? Han Gaozu killed the White Snake to revolt.
, with Emperor Wen, there was purple energy rushing into the court. Although Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was not the founding emperor, he conquered the country. Legend has it that there are two golden dragons surrounding the palace. So for the Song family, if you wear a yellow robe, it is considered auspicious!
As for me going to Taizu?
I am a commoner from Huaiyou, how can the world compare to me?
"When Taizu of the Song Dynasty was born, it was said that red light and purple energy filled the house..."
"Isn't this copied from Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty?"
The monsters made noises, but the old donkey monster coughed and said:
"Song Taizu didn't have it, but Taizong did."
"It is said that when Chen Qiao rebelled, a strange scene appeared in the sky, and another sun appeared under the sun. It was setting sun one day after another. The sun below was Emperor Taizong. When Emperor Taizong was born, a god came to hold the sun.
, the red light shines on the sky.”
"The second legend of Song Taizong is that the dragon spirit destroyed the "Three Capitals of Heaven", that is, Chang'an, Luoyang, and Jinyang. Taizu wanted to move the capital to Chang'an and Luoyang, but Taizong persuaded him, and burned it with fire
Jinyang... From now on, there is only one capital in the world, namely Kaifeng and Tokyo..."
"Well...it's about the same as what Liu Bowen said about the immortal slaying the dragon when our dynasty was founded..."
