It is said in the main text of Journey to the West that the time when Brother Monkey was trapped under Wuzhi Mountain was the period when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty.
Five hundred years later we arrived in the Tang Dynasty.
The current approximate time is the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty was the undisputed master of the entire Nanfangbu Continent. Even the arrogant Huns were defeated, so they had no choice but to move westward and seek a future in Xiniuhe Continent.
The territory of the Han Dynasty was even more prosperous with singing and dancing, and the people were prosperous and powerful.
Here the human race has become the real protagonist.
Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, if you want to preach in the Han Dynasty, you must report it to the emperor.
However, they were more interested in giving face to the Heavenly Court, rather than really thinking highly of the so-called Emperor.
And Jie Jiao was unavoidable from this fate.
Brother Hou and Lin Fang are still in Zixiao Palace, so this task falls on Yang Chan.
At the same time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also very interested in this fairy who was famous in the three realms, so he simply summoned her to Beijing to meet the emperor in person, and the two sides had cordial and friendly exchanges.
When Yang Chan came to Beijing for the first time, it could be said that the streets were empty.
People in the capital came out to see the gods.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also went to the city gate to greet her. After seeing Yang Chan's beautiful appearance, he fell in love at first sight and wanted to have a vigorous love affair with Yang Chan.
Unfortunately, when he heard that Yang Chan's mate selection requirements were better than hers, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty quietly gave up the idea.
As an emperor, he cannot cultivate and live forever.
So he had no hope at all.
During the many days that Yang Chan came to the capital, he also talked about some things about Jie Jiao. Basically, he said that Jie Jiao could control the demon clan in the world. If he cooperated with the Han Dynasty, both parties could coexist peacefully in the future.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty expressed his gratitude for this.
But he also put forward a condition, that is, after the Jiejiao, the number of wishes realized should not exceed ten times a year.
There is nothing wrong with Jiejiao's approach, but this can quickly attract a lot of die-hard fans.
By then his country will be in danger.
As an emperor, he thinks more than the people. The people only see the immediate benefits, but he sees the hidden dangers behind them.
After Yang Chan thought about it, he agreed.
She issued this order, and the Jiejiao strength in the entire Han Dynasty fell silent.
Some monsters who were inherently lazy clapped their hands and applauded.
And Yang Chan stayed in the capital.
During this period, Princess Pingyang came to see her whenever she had nothing to do. Yang Chan also liked this girl very much, and the two quickly became good sisters.
this day.
Princess Pingyang approached Yang Chan impatiently.
"Those monks came to see Your Majesty again and asked Your Majesty to expel Jie Jiao."
"Do these guys with kind faces and dark hearts think my brother is a fool?"
"They themselves don't dare to confront you, so they just come up with these crooked ideas. They want me, the Han royal family, to rush forward. They have good calculations. Do they really think that we are fools?"
After Yang Chan calmly listened to her words, he asked: "What does your Majesty mean?"
Princess Pingyang shook her head.
"Your Majesty is naturally agitated, but it's hard to deal with these monks, so he sent them back first and said he would think about it."
"Sister Yang Chan, what do you think?"
Yang Chan sneered and said: "If it were me, I would naturally make them walk around without food."
"It's a pity that there are big men here."
"If I, Jiejiao, take the lead in provoking us, but fall into their trap and give them the reason and opportunity to force His Majesty to expel us, I will naturally not do this."
Princess Pingyang actually came here to find out what Jie Jiao meant.
Hearing what Yang Chan said, he felt a little relieved in his heart.
If Jiejiao really went to war with Buddhism in the Han Dynasty, no matter what the outcome, the people of the Han Dynasty would definitely be implicated.
"Then sister, are you going to endure it like this?"
Yang Chan shook his head and said, "When that kid Lin Fang comes over, Buddhism won't be able to survive for long."
When Princess Pingyang heard Lin Fang's name, a look of longing appeared on her face.
During the time Yang Chan was in the capital, the two names she heard the most were Lin Fang and Sun Wukong. Both of them were famous beings in the Three Realms, so she naturally admired them.
"I really want to see Lin Fang."
Yang Chan looked at her little fan girl's expression and thought about Lin Fang's character again.
She said quietly: "You may regret it!!"
Princess Pingyang looked at Yang Chan with a puzzled look.
…
In the Fahua Temple in the Han Dynasty, several monks who came here to preach were also discussing in the Zen room.
"What do you think about this interdiction of religion?"
"It's coming very hard, it's hard to deal with."
"This Lin Fang is indeed a peerless genius, and I also think that we should pay attention to him early."
Many people in the Three Realms have heard about Lin Fang. They will never and dare not look down on Lin Fang or the demon clan anymore. Instead, they treat him as the number one enemy.
But there will always be people who disagree in this world.
"Amitabha, I don't think this teaching is anything to worry about."
An old monk spoke.
Everyone has forgotten the past.
"What's the explanation?"
The old monk said leisurely: "The Jiejiao teaching is just a repeat of the path we took before, but do you still remember the disadvantages of this move?"
Everyone fell into deep thought.
When Buddhism first developed, it was also preached among the poor.
They told the suffering people that the suffering you suffer today is to prepare for happiness tomorrow. As long as you eat all the suffering in this life, you will live a happy life in the next life.
The poor people believe it is true and feel that suffering a loss is a blessing.
And when the rulers saw that no matter how hard these people endured, they would not complain at all.
They also treated Buddhism with great courtesy.
It is precisely because of this that Buddhism developed rapidly.
But there is a big problem with this, that is, people's desires can expand infinitely. When you give him a sesame seed, he will want a watermelon.
One day, you won't be able to satisfy his desires.
The Buddhist approach is to put all the good things in the next life.
As long as you believe in Buddhism in this life, no matter what you want, you will get it in the next life.
But after people die, they will enter reincarnation and wash away all their memories. They will not remember that they once believed in Buddhism, nor will they remember the promises of Buddhism. They will still experience birth, old age, illness and death, and they will still yearn for the beauty of the next life.
To put it simply, Buddhism is taking advantage of the rules of the underworld to block bugs.
"So Jie Jiao is nothing to worry about. We just need to wait quietly. Jie Jiao will definitely overturn."
Everyone understood instantly.
"Then I'll just wait quietly."
"After the Jie Jiao overturns, it will be our chance to take action. If the Jie Jiao cannot satisfy the believers, our Buddhism can only do so in the next life."
