The Liu family of the Southern Han Dynasty: At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Yin, the military governor of the East Road of Lingnan, gradually pacified some separatist forces there. Later, he occupied Lingnan from Yongzhou (now south of Nanning, Guangxi) in the west to Chaozhou (now in Guangdong) in the east.
A vast area. In the third year of Zhenming in the Later Liang Dynasty (917), his younger brother Liu Yan proclaimed himself emperor, and the country was named Yue. Soon it was renamed Han to distinguish it from the Northern Han Dynasty, so the world called it the Southern Han Dynasty. The supporters of the cultivation world behind the Southern Han Dynasty were
Buddhist forces led by Puji Temple and Pure Land Sect.
The Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty: At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Xingmi occupied 28 states in Huainan. In 902, he was granted the title of King of Wu by the Tang Dynasty, and his capital was Guangling (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu). At that time, general Xu Zhigao held great power. In 927, Xingmi's son Wu Wang Yang Pu claimed
Emperor. In 937, Xu Zhigao deposed Wu Emperor Yang Pu and proclaimed himself emperor. The country was named Daqi and changed to Yuan Hengyuan. The following year, he changed his name to Li Min and changed the country's name to Tang. It was called Southern Tang in history and its capital was Jinling (today's Nanjing, Jiangsu Province).
.The Southern Tang Dynasty encompassed present-day Jiangsu, Jiangxi, southern Anhui, southeastern Hubei and other vast areas. The supporters behind it were righteous cultivators led by Maoshan Sect, Chongyang Sect, Tianjian Sect, Buddhist Zen Sect, Sanlun Sect and other Buddhist sects.
The Qian family of Wuyue: Qian Liu occupied the Hangzhou area at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Later, he annexed eastern Zhejiang and Zhan had more than 10 states in Zhejiang and Zhejiang. Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty appointed him Zhenhai and Zhendong Jiedushi. In 907, Zhu Wen established the Later Liang Dynasty.
He was named King of Wuyue. Wuyue had a small territory and was adjacent to the powerful Wu (later the Southern Tang Dynasty) to the north. Qian Liu kept his descendants and befriended the Central Plains court for generations to contain the intrusions of Wu and the Southern Tang Dynasty. The supporters behind him were the Daming Temple and the Wuji Gate.
, Putuo Temple, Qingqing Temple and other righteous practitioners.
Duan family in Dali: Dali was originally the backbone of the Nanzhao Kingdom during the Tang Dynasty. In 902, Nanzhao's powerful official Zheng Maisi launched a palace coup and established the Dachanghe Kingdom. Nanzhao fell and civil strife continued since then. In 927, another
They successively established the Datian Xingguo and the Dayi Ningguo. In 937, Duan Siping, the military governor of Tonghai, united with the thirty-seven tribes in eastern Yunnan, marched into Dali, overthrew the Dayi Ningguo, and established the Dali State. The supporters behind them were hundreds of thousands of people from the mountains.
A relatively enlightened cultivator among the "Alliance of Ten Thousand Demons" and the Wumen of Southern Xinjiang.
The Khitan people living in the Xilamulun River Basin in the northern grassland. In the same year that the Tang Dynasty fell, Yelu Abaoji unified the eight Khitan tribes and became increasingly powerful. In 916, the Khitan Kingdom was established. In the later Tang Dynasty, the Khitan army attacked the Bohai Kingdom.
They went south to fight for the Central Plains, and later changed the name of the country to Daliao and Yuan Dynasty to Datong. The supporters behind them were both the Demon Sect forces headed by the Northern Demon Sect and the Eastern Demon Sect. Other righteous sects could only protect themselves under the powerful oppression of the Demon Sect.
Life was miserable beyond description.
The Tubo Kingdom, which has lived on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for a long time, is now on the verge of civil strife. There are also threats from the Xianbei and Uighurs outside, so it is unable to participate in the invasion of China. There are two supporters behind Tubo. One is Tantra,
The Tibetan Buddhist forces headed by the Lama of the Potala Palace have been rooted in Tibet for many years and are deeply rooted. They have exquisite Buddhist teachings and many masters, but they have always kept a low profile and are not known to the general public;
On the other side is the Demonic Cultivator Alliance, which is a coalition of side sects and evil cultivators led by the Western Demonic Cult. They have many people, and the world is in chaos. This chaotic situation is more suitable for the development of demons and evil ways, so their momentum has become more and more powerful.
stand up.
Of these two forces, although one has a small number of people, they are both elites and powerful. They have been rooted in Tibet for many years and occupy a favorable geographical position;
The other side has a lot of people, but there are mud and sand, dragons and snakes are mixed together, and many of them can only build up their momentum. However, the magic sect, evil way, and side sect practice methods originally focus on quick success and going astray, so they are taking advantage of the troubled times to quickly
It is growing in strength and occupying the right time.
The top officials in Tubo are also divided into two groups. One side is the loyal believers of Buddhism and supports Tibetan Buddhism; the other side is the careerists and speculators. They also want to control power and take advantage of the troubled times to go to the Central Plains to get a share of the pie, so they support
The Alliance of Demonic Cultivators; in any aspect, the two parties are equally divided, which is also an important reason for the civil strife in Tubo.
The Uighurs and Xianbei on the northern grasslands are competing for the position of grassland hegemony. The Uighurs are mainly composed of grassland people, with the support of various countries in the Western Regions, and the secret support of masters of cultivation in sects that believe in the Immortal Heaven and Kunlun God;
The Murong clan of Xianbei regarded the leaders of Shamanism and Prairie Buddhism as their national teachers, so they gained their support and were able to halt the Uighur offensive.
The two have been fighting each other for many years, and their vitality has been severely damaged, so they are now recuperating, silently licking their wounds like injured wolves, and preparing for the next war.
Other major cultivation sects, such as the Kunlun sect, which has always claimed to be the leader of the righteous path after the ancient Conferring Gods War, have become low-key since Qin Shihuang led an army to attack and later sealed the mountain with a mountain-driving whip.
, there have not been many large-scale activities for thousands of years. They just stick to the Kunlun Mountains and its surrounding areas as their own sphere of influence, and do not participate in human affairs. Even the leader of the righteous path, the first sect of cultivation, has
It was about to be snatched away by other major sects of righteous cultivation such as Shushan, Tianshi Dao, and Putuoshan.
The Nanhai Sect is said to be the original Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun - Taoist Cihang. The current Buddhist Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva left a Taoist tradition in the world. Therefore, it practices both Buddhism and Taoism. Its techniques are exquisite and its strength is also very powerful. It is a major cultivation sect.
One, commanding the seventy-two islands in the South China Sea.
There is also the Central Demon Sect, the most mysterious of the five demon sects. Legend has it that he is the ancestor of the demons. He transformed into the Demon Lord Zizai Tian and left his legacy in the world. His magic is strange and his whereabouts are erratic. No one knows exactly how many people there are in the Central Demon Sect.
, where is the location of the mountain gate? I only know that any believer or elder from the Central Demon Sect is a person with advanced cultivation and superb magic. Lord Kurong, the guardian elder of the Central Demon Sect, is an example. It can be imagined.
, the overall strength of the Central Demonic Cult is so powerful.
There are other small and medium-sized sects that are dependent on these large sects and do not want to be inferior to others. They choose to go overseas or even to some remote and sparsely populated places to establish mountain sects. Anyway, in this era of China and China, the human world
The world is so vast that there is no place to survive.
As for the Middle-earth China, those places and countries outside the scope of Han rule, such as Tianzhu, as well as the northern cold plains, the Western Regions, and Europe where white people live, are all governed by local sects or spiritual sects. Except for Tianzhu and the major islands in Southeast Asia,
In addition to practicing Buddhism, these cultivating forces either practice the way of faith, the method of cultivating God, or practice some unique barbaric miraculous arts. In short, they are all kinds of strange and strange, especially now in the central government.
The empire is limited to civil strife, and all the major sects in the Middle-earth have focused their attention here, which has enabled the long-suppressed outside world of cultivation to develop, and it has become a hundred flowers blooming, competing for beauty.
The current distribution of forces between the immortal and mortal realms in China and China is basically like this. These situations are all shown on the energy model made by Yunlong himself.
