"Dragon Lord Jiupan Tea King... takes dragon as his title... Lord of dragons? This title is so outrageous, is it really what a Buddhist should deserve?"
Zhang Tianshi's tone was similar to a warning, but Emperor Wanli only cared about this person's title. After all, since the Han Dynasty, emperors were mostly associated with dragons. Although some dynasties did not use dragon as the emperor's exclusive hidden title, but with the passage of thousands of years,
As time goes by, the emperor is equal to the real dragon's fate, which has almost become a "setting" in this world.
Of course, the dragon is just a metaphorical symbol. What the emperors like most is not to be descendants of the dragon, but to become a certain god, or to create a god themselves as a heel. The legends of emperors in the Song Dynasty are from the sky.
In the lower realm of the heavenly king, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were the reincarnations of Zhenwu. Obviously, compared with divine beasts like dragons, higher-level gods are more acceptable to the world.
"Jiupan tea is actually a kind of Buddhist ghost."
"Your Majesty, don't be too obsessed with the title of Dragon Lord, otherwise you will be compared to Buddha and ghosts, and you will lose your status as the emperor."
Zhang Tianshi tried to correct Emperor Wanli's thoughts and pull his head out of the racing storm of thoughts and get back on track.
Now is not the time to worry about what to call the other person. They just call you "your grandpa", and you also...
Forget it, Emperor Jiajing is still running for his life everywhere in the mountains and rivers, and the grandfather of the current emperor is not that easy to be.
"Buddha ghost?"
Emperor Wanli's thoughts finally stopped diverging, but he still asked:
"A Buddha is a Buddha, and a ghost is a ghost. What are Buddhas and ghosts?"
"I know about immortals and Buddhas, but these are also two terms. Could it be that what you call Buddha and ghost is the same term?"
Zhang Tianshi: "Of course, it is exactly the same title."
"This man is incredible... It is said that when Bianliang City was breached in the Song Dynasty, this man was responsible for it, and it was a kind of revenge."
Zhang Tianshi talked about the secrets of the previous dynasties. Of course, he did not know the details. It was just that Longhu Mountain had experienced thousands of years of ups and downs, and there were often many secrets in the changes of dynasties. The Tianshis of the past dynasties would occasionally encounter them, and they would naturally make observations.
and describe.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Lishanhe competed for the dynasty road, and the struggle was fierce. Because the great sage Shenxiao Daoyuanmiao briefly suppressed the other three forces, the Buddhist Dragon Lord set a curse, predicting that Bianliang would be destroyed by war in a year's time.
Disaster!
"In this dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, it seems that Buddhism has failed and set a great curse, and Taoism has a short victory. However, the alchemists also have their own ideas and have a hand in it. The six kings of Luo and Feng took advantage of the opportunity and made a big move.
Open the city of Bianjing..."
"Opening Bianjing? Is it a matter of the Liujia Heavenly Soldiers? Is it because Song Ting made them unable to gain any benefit, so they immediately chose the Jin Kingdom in the north?"
Emperor Wanli stroked his beard, frowned in the Chinese character "Sichuan", and said, "This fight in the immortal way is so casual, and the king of the country sells it whenever he wants, so who is willing to fight for Lishanhe and the others?"
"This is too ungrateful and moral."
Zhang Tianshi laughed: "Benevolence, righteousness and morality are things of Confucianism. Alchemists themselves are independent of the three religions. They originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and flourished in the Warring States Period. How can they have any benevolence and righteousness? This is not something they themselves have to abide by!"
It is impossible to talk about benevolence and righteousness with the alchemists. All you can exchange with the alchemists are interests. They will help you if they see that you are profitable. But if you have no interest entanglement with them or even affect them, they will get rid of them.
Drop you.
"But didn't you say that today's alchemists are all from Dongfang Shuo's lineage? Dongfang Shuo is also a Han, don't he know etiquette and justice?"
Emperor Wanli asked aloud.
"If there were true etiquette and righteousness, we would not be manipulating the rights and wrongs of the mountains and rivers outside the mountains and rivers, and make ups and downs."
Zhang Tianshi responded like this.
Emperor Wanli scolded: "You are a thief if you are too old to die... Oh, Heavenly Master, I am not scolding you. In fact, you are quite young. You are not an old thief. You are just a little thief at best."
Seeing the slight change in Zhang Tianshi's expression, Emperor Wanli immediately said that he was not scolding him.
After all, compared with those immortals in Lishanhe, you, Lao Zhang, can't even be called Lao Zhang, at most you are just Xiao Zhang.
"....Wait a minute, is there another one?"
Emperor Wanli suddenly remembered that if Taoism was better than Buddhism and was defeated, and alchemists could fall out of favor faster than turning over a book, how about a Confucian person?
"In the south."
"Oh. That's it!"
After receiving the Heavenly Master's simple response, Emperor Wanli suddenly became enlightened.
It turns out that he was prepared in advance, which is a lot more benevolent and righteous compared to the alchemist.
"Then Confucianism can still be dealt with. At least it is selling to the current monarch, but it still retains the orthodoxy of the dynasty. Although it is more peaceful going south, it is much more moral than what the alchemists did."
"At least I didn't help the enemy immediately."
Zhang Tianshi laughed: "It is easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows! You, the emperor, choose four schools for your own use. The Taoist school is elated when it wins, the Buddhist school is devastated when it fails, the alchemists are cold and heartless, and this Confucianism is the most dangerous, why?
Can we say that we can get along with each other?"
"The other three parties are all being selected by the emperor, but Confucianism is the only one who is selecting the emperor."
Emperor Wanli woke up from a dream and shuddered unconsciously at this moment.
A biting dog never barks, the stinkiest fart never makes a sound, a poisonous snake is silent before it attacks, and a hungry tiger is silent before it pounces on its prey.
"Then can the alchemist still be trusted now?"
"At least Xu Fu is not dead, and the alchemists can still be trusted. As long as we don't trust other people during this process."
Zhang Tianshi said: "I checked some secret texts from Longhu Mountain in the past and found that the Taoism of the outer mountains and rivers is not very important to the monks of the inner mountains and rivers. Therefore, the poor Taoist is a Taoist sect, but the alchemist still chats and laughs with me.
Very happy, that’s exactly what it is.”
"Of course, the important forces in our Longhu Mountain are all in the outer mountains and rivers. In the inner mountains and rivers, there is only Tianshi Dao and not Longhu Mountain. This is also a huge difference."
"What's the difference?"
Emperor Wanli was puzzled.
Zhang Tianshi explained:
"The Heavenly Master does not enter the mountains and rivers."
"The Celestial Masters of the past dynasties all ascended to heaven after completing their ascension in the mountains and rivers, and spent their whole lives studying the immortal way. All the power of their wishes was injected into the divine tablets of the ancestor Celestial Masters. If they did not complete their ascension, their lifespan would be over.
At that moment, the magic power and wishes will also dissipate and return to the God of the Ancestral Heavenly Master."
"The Celestial Master's Way is a sect of practice founded by the Celestial Master, and the place where the Celestial Master is located is Longhu Mountain!"
"Today, if we cooperate with alchemists, we cannot cooperate with Buddhism, Taoism, or Confucianism...that is, we will alienate people from the three religions."
Zhang Tianshi said this, and at the same time he thought that there is nothing to be close to the people of the three religions nowadays. Even three mountains like Maoshan have been reduced to the tool department of the immortals of the Lishanhe Zhuhuo Tiangong, let alone Buddhism.
, even the Changchun Temple near the imperial palace and the emperor's old mother are the incarnations of the Buddhist monks of Lishanhe. Most of the three religions of Shanhe will become the incarnations, incarnations and traces of the Rishanhe Buddhist monks.
The body is gone.
In contrast, the inheritance of alchemists has almost disappeared in Biao Shanhe, which can be reassuring. However, this group of people hate Xu Fu deeply, and they don't know where such huge hatred comes from. There is obviously a difference of three or four Five generations, but it seems as if they are in danger of taking away their foundation.
Could it be that the existence of Xu Fu will make the foundation of the alchemist's way unstable? So we need to kill him to take back some "power"?
This was Zhang Tianshi's guess, but there was no basis for it. He thought of Ji Xiang again, and secretly said to himself that he wondered if his senior brother could get some special information from this channel when he returned to China after the Korean War was briefly over.
How can others sleep soundly beside the bed? Xu Fu's existence is the biggest threat and deterrent to China. This invasion of North Korea is a strong proof of his wolfish ambition. How can an old ghost from two thousand years ago and an immortal in this world interact with him? Does he fight?
"Buddha Ghost Jiupan Tea King", its own meaning is a ghost spirit under the command of the Southern King of Growth. It is said that it can make various changes, bring harm to the five dusts, eat human essence and blood, run as fast as the wind, live in the woods, and control all the ghosts in the world. Therefore, they are called kings. In the Sutra of Enlightenment, this kind of ghosts are also called powerful ghost kings."
"The leader among them is called the genus of ghosts and gods. In Buddhism, he is also the Buddhist protector heavenly king, and is called 'Pilulu'."
"Buddhas and ghosts descended from the lower realms and came from the mountains and rivers. It is probably for the affairs of King Tianluo, but it is also connected with the Southern Dharma. Its true purpose is really difficult to explain. Someone needs to go and investigate."
When Zhang Tianshi said this, Emperor Wanli thought of Ji Xiang again, so he said: "It is better to let Master Beiji go..."
"As soon as the war in Korea was over, you crossed the sea and headed to the south? Your Majesty, this is not what the immortals are driven to do."
Zhang Tianshi shook his head and thought to himself that you are using gods as military generals, and you will make up for them wherever there is a leak, just like Li Rusong. Seeing how useful he is, he first fought against the rebellion of the Mongolian tribes in Ningxia, and then went to Korea to fight several times. Every year, he was transferred back and immediately served as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. Before he could sit down, the Tatars from the northwest invaded the border, and he went to the north to defend the Tatars. This man was not made of iron, and sooner or later something would happen if he did this.
Zhang Tianshi recalled Li Rusong.
Then I realized that I couldn't recall what this person looked like.
The last time we met was the last time.
Nowadays, the situation in the Ming Dynasty is not very good. There are foreign forces in the north, southwest, and northeast causing chaos, and demons are dancing, which puts a lot of pressure on the inside. At the same time, there are various internal ghosts selling out their interests. Fortunately, in the past few years, the people have been It's not bad, otherwise if there were a big rebellion for you, the country would really be destroyed.
"Your Majesty, there are no fewer than eight people in our Ming Dynasty who have the power of true immortals, including poor Taoists."
"But only Pindao and Beiji Zhenren can be dispatched by the imperial court. The others do not obey the imperial court's orders. Does your Majesty have any clever tricks that can force them to obey orders?"
"One of them is causing trouble in Qiantang, creating a magic mountain, and trying to artificially manipulate the ascending demonic calamity. He is also one of the ancient immortals who descended from the mountains and rivers. Is there any way for your majesty to eliminate him?"
"Although Jing Zhen's Divine Sword is unparalleled in power, and the light of the sword can destroy all immortal forms and destroy the shadows of magic, but His Majesty himself has no cultivation. In front of the real immortal, he is like a child carrying gold to walk through the busy city. Is there any reason why he can be safe and sound? ?”
Such words made Emperor Wanli alert and frowned deeply.
There are several immortals in the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Tianshi has said it more than once, but since they cannot be mobilized, it has no meaning. Instead, they are a group of hidden dangers.
Why not recruit?
Go and recruit some birds!
People don't care about your recruitment!
Some of them have already established a relationship with the great immortals at the Tianxin level of Lishanhe, and the inner and outer mountains and rivers will merge into one in twenty years. At this time, a bloated dynasty that has been established for more than 200 years will follow, and
Not cost effective.
It is better to smash this dynasty to pieces twenty years later, and then absorb the national destiny yourself. If you are ambitious, you can also try to strive to enter the "real realm of heaven"!
"There is no... way. If they really cause trouble, it will be a huge disaster, but if they are to be eradicated, I don't have any good way."
"Many artifacts of immortals and gods have been lost in the past dynasties, but today there are not as many as those of the Japanese country..."
The Central Plains has been experiencing constant wars and wars for thousands of years. How can what is lost or destroyed be some artifact or immortal scripture?
There is no supreme recognized leader, no place to save, they fight with the weapons of gods and gods, and then both of them perish... As the sect rises and falls, how many cultivators have turned into bones over the thousands of years?
"Is there really no way to control this Buddhist ghost? I just watch him, causing trouble in the south?"
"The world of the Ming Dynasty did not fall apart in the hands of King Lu. Could it be that it will fall apart in the hands of the Buddha, ghosts and Dharma teachings?"
Zhang Tianshi said to Emperor Wanli:
"Although there is no solution for the moment, there are strategies to drive away tigers and swallow wolves."
"Does Your Majesty know... Zhou Sheng?"
——————
"Young? You want me to go to the south and have a fight with Buddhism? This is not good!"
"Master Sun, this is unreasonable. How can I, on my behalf, be able to fight against the Buddha in the lower realms of Buddhism? What are you doing, what is going on in the Palace of Eternal Life? Who got into this kind of slander with you and asked you to ask me
Do you want to do such a dangerous thing?"
Bursts of black energy filled the air, and at the entrance of the White Lotus Church, everyone inside was slaughtered. Zhou Sheng stood among the corpses with a child named Shenkui, and these people from the White Lotus Sect were all killed by Shenkui.
Zhou Sheng did not take action to kill him.
"Prince Lu is dead, and the White Lotus Sect is now leaderless... What do you mean by Prince Lu's 'luck as a vassal king'? Who knows where he is? I have also been to the palace, but they were all sealed.
No, how can I dare to search in a big way? I can only kill the White Lotus Sect to make a living. After all, these guys have been with King Lu for a while, and they have also become a little bit royal."
"It's not that easy for a snake to transform into a dragon. We can't go to the Forbidden City, and Fengyang doesn't dare to go there for the time being. We can only find those lords or clans who are alone and kill them. If we add up, we can make more."
.... I wanted to go to Wudang Mountain to slaughter the mountain before, but I didn’t expect that there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the mountain... When I got not far away, I sensed that there was a true immortal inside."
Amidst the black air, a white shadow emerged, and this shadow was talking to Zhou Sheng.
"The fifth-turn elixir was not given to him in vain. This time the Buddha and the ghost came to the world, it must be to split the land of the Ming Dynasty. He must be looking for a 'dragon son'. You go kill him and take away the dragon son's energy."
transport."
"The Dharma teachings in the south cannot make any trouble. Someone has done a lot of tricks for the Buddha and ghosts in the lower realm. He himself also paid a big price. Without the fighting power of the flying immortal, he only has the body of the immortal Buddha. Since I
If I let you go, there will naturally be a way for you to kill him!"
