Chapter 1277 The Orthodox Buddhism in Bai Lian
Chapter 1277 - The Orthodoxy of Buddhism in Bai Lian
Traitors are intolerable to any party.
And to some extent, the more powerful the camp, the more fundamental the dispute, the less traitors can be tolerated.
For the Heavenly Court and the top immortal gates, the occasional change of camp may only be a loss of interests and some loss of face. As long as enough price is paid, there is a chance of turning around.
For example, if you switch from the Heavenly Court to the Immortal Gate camp, even the power of the Heavenly Court cannot be involved at this moment, so you can only remember it for the time being.
And switching from the Immortal Gate to the Heavenly Court is nothing more than some loss of interests. As long as the Heavenly Court takes out some interests, it can be tolerated temporarily. After all, no one dares to easily break the current balance, which is not worth the loss for the Immortal Gate.
However, regarding the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism, this camp change needs to be considered.
The three parties are originally an extremely delicate existence. If you pay your life for the camp behind you, the strong at the level of the strongest can enter reincarnation, and there will naturally be a true immortal to guide you to the next life.
Even if the True Immortal falls into a deep sleep, the power of any of the three parties is enough to guarantee that you can come back again.
But once you break the rules and change your camp, it will shake the morale of the army and break the bottom line, which even the True Immortal cannot afford.
It's like a Buddhist strongman who has become a demon, and the Buddhist strongman can't stand it.
If the strong man of the Demon Dao is converted, then those few Demon Daojuns will not tolerate you to live even if they don't care about it anymore. After all, the strong men of the Demon Dao are the leeks of these Demon Daojuns, how can they let others touch them.
This is even more true for the Taoist sect. As the first person in the world today, Changsheng Daojun is the leader of the righteous path. Even if he doesn't care about anything, you Taoist strongman jumps to change camps, which is a slap in the face, and no one can tolerate you.
Therefore, even some powerful strongmen would rather fall into a deep sleep and wait for countless years to wake up and return in this fight, and dare not easily change camps, because it means the fall of the earth, and no party will allow the existence of traitors.
So when they heard that the fight between Zhao Baiyang and Buddhism was caused by Taoism and the devil, many of the True Immortals had bitter faces and regretted it.
After all, some secrets cannot be heard casually.
If you don't reach a certain level, some news will not be good to know, but may bring disaster to yourself.
At this moment, after this mysterious True Immortal opened his mouth, he immediately attracted the dissatisfaction of a Taoist strongman.
"This Taoist friend is joking. According to your words, doesn't it mean that the orthodoxy of Buddhism is in Bailian?! Moreover, the original position of God was obtained by this leader Zhao with his own merits in the Conferred God War, and it was obtained by the other party's efforts. Does it mean that the other party cannot get the due reward for his merits? In this case, where do the strong men who participated in the Conferred God War and the many Taoist monarchs who presided over the Conferred God?" A strong man who was obviously from the Taoist asked back.
"You have done so much for the world, how can you plot against the Taoists behind their backs!" The Taoist Immortal asked sternly.
The struggle for the orthodoxy does not allow any hesitation. For these powerful people in the Taoist sect, none of the parties in their sect will submit to each other, and they will sabotage each other and fight for their own interests, but this is all their own business.
However, when facing the outside world, the entire Taoist sect is united. The Taoists are their leaders. If others plot against the Taoists behind their backs, that is the business of the entire Taoist sect.
"Haha, why should this Taoist priest be anxious? The hat of making up stories about the Taoist master is too big, and I can't bear it. I just talked about the origins of the leader Zhao of the Outer Dao Alliance and Buddhism, why should I do so? Besides, with the Taoist master's magical powers, my remarks may not escape the Taoist master's perception. If the Taoist master was really dissatisfied, he would have struck down with a thunderbolt long ago, but he didn't do it now, which proves that the Taoist master doesn't care." Although the True Immortal who spoke was humble, his attitude was still indifferent.
"You are so eloquent, Taoist friend, I'm afraid you are from the Confucian school?" The Taoist True Immortal frowned slightly when he heard the other party's words, and then he probably guessed the other party's identity. Although he was asking, he was also somewhat sure.
In addition to the three parties of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism, there are many other Taoist schools in the struggle between heaven and earth, just like the original Hundred Schools of Thought.
With the current strength of the Shenzhou world, plus the countless cultivation systems and civilizations absorbed and accommodated by the development of the world, the continuous innovation and changes in thought, let alone the contention of a hundred schools of thought, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are ten thousand schools of thought.
It's just that these thoughts appear too quickly and disappear just as quickly. Every day, new thoughts are proposed, and every day, old thoughts are eliminated. The existence that can truly be called a lineage of Taoism and is qualified to establish a sect must have at least a true immortal to prove that this path can be achieved.
In the final analysis, this world is now a prosperous age for cultivation. All theoretical knowledge and all changes in thought are ultimately for cultivation, in order to achieve the true immortal.
A doctrine, a Taoist tradition, no matter how novel or special the thought is, in the final analysis, it is to help cultivation, to help practitioners break the limits of immortals and mortals, and to allow practitioners to achieve the true immortal.
If this doctrine and tradition does not even have a true immortal, it means that it cannot help practice and cannot prove the true immortal, then it will be immediately rejected and abandoned by all cultivators and cannot be supported at all.
Therefore, although the doctrines and thoughts in this world can be called a contending school, there are only a few hundred schools that can truly have a true immortal. Among these hundreds of schools, there are dozens of doctrines and traditions that have true immortals, but these strong men have proved the true immortals by chance, and they themselves cannot explain it. At least when there is no second true immortal, they are destined not to prosper.
In addition to the three sects of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism, which are like the three overlords standing side by side in the world, the other doctrines and traditions should be respected by the Wumen and Confucianism. The Wumen inheritance can be traced back to the ancient times of the earliest human race. How powerful is the power.
Let's say that the emergence of Confucianism in the true sense was in the era of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After countless years, Confucianism has produced many saints and sages, who developed and expanded Confucianism. At its peak, even Buddhism, Taoism and Demon had to retreat and dare not compete with it.
Now that the world has revived, Buddhism, Taoism and Demon have regained the power of the world. Although Confucianism has a saint like Emperor Wenchang, he has never really taken charge of the power of Confucianism.
After all, over the years, many saints and sages within Confucianism have left their inheritances, countless branches, and the power of each party is also different. It is very difficult to truly unify.
If Emperor Wenchang rose from an ancient Confucian vein, he could use it to suppress all parties and unify Confucianism, but his doctrine is actually no different from a new vein in Confucianism, and it is impossible to completely unify all parties, so there is the current situation.
Of course, even so, there are many powerful people in Confucianism, and it is regarded as the first sect besides Buddhism, Taoism and Demon.
If it were other powerful people from other Taoist traditions, they would not dare to say these things, but if it were placed on the powerful people of Confucianism, they would not lack such courage.
It is true that the Emperor Wenchang Wang Bo'an strongly supports the Jade Emperor, but it does not mean that all Confucian powerful people are willing to support the Jade Emperor.
When the Ming Dynasty was just promoted, as the Lord of the Divine Dynasty, there is no doubt that the Jade Emperor has received support from all parties. With his power, he can also suppress the various forces within the Divine Dynasty. Even if there are conflicts and contradictions between them, these are all internal problems.
After all, whether it is from the initial establishment or when they rise, Confucianism has to some extent relied on the common leader of the human race and the many Lords of the Divine Dynasty, binding each other together, becoming the mouthpiece of the Lord of the Divine Dynasty, and also relying on the power of the Divine Dynasty to grow.
It can be said that the foundation of Confucianism is in the human race and in the court. Once these two foundations are lost, it means the turmoil of Confucianism, or even complete collapse.
If the Jade Emperor had always relied on Confucianism, then Confucianism would undoubtedly become his greatest helper. Although in this case the two sides would fight each other and have conflicts of interest, they would not break the internal struggle in a certain situation.
However, when the Wushen Cult came, the Wumen wanted to take back what once belonged to them. Their struggle with Confucianism for the sacrificial authority of the human race destined that the conflict between the two sides could not be resolved at all.
The Wushen Cult originally held the sacrificial authority of the human race, and was feared by the future human race leaders. They turned into the Wushen Cult and hid themselves. It was precisely because of this that the blank left was immediately grasped by the Confucian sect, which led to the later Confucianism, which was the only one among the hundreds of schools.
But so many years have passed, and no one knows why they have to compete for the sacrificial authority of the human race at this time. But no matter what the reason is, the most important point is that for Confucianism, they must not give in.
There are constant fights between the various branches of Confucianism. Even if there are continuous saints and sages, the so-called Six Classics annotate me, I annotate the Six Classics. The birth of each saint and sage will promote Confucianism to prosperity, and will also open up new branches, making the integration of Confucianism more difficult.
However, what these branches are fighting for is the authority of sacrifice, the righteousness, and the reputation. At this moment, the appearance of the Wushen Cult immediately means that their greatest interests are threatened.
If it is just the Wushen Cult that takes action, then for this Confucianism, it is just an opponent, but what they cannot accept is the Jade Emperor's approach.
Because the benefits offered by the Wushen Cult moved the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor began to personally take sides.
Originally, for Confucianism, they only needed to deal with the Wushen Cult, and they could even tie up the entire Divine Dynasty and directly defend against the enemy.
But after the Jade Emperor took action, they suffered a backstab for Confucianism. The Jade Emperor's letting the wolf into the house caught them off guard and caused heavy losses.
Although from the perspective of the Jade Emperor, the world is in my hands, I am the supreme ruler of the world, and I have the final say in everything in the court. Whoever can bring me benefits, I will support him.
But for Confucianism, they have defeated hundreds of challengers for so many years, and almost regarded the sacrificial authority of the human race as their own forbidden food. It is precisely because of the existence of the sacrificial authority of the human race that they can remain invincible. Even if the divine dynasty changes, Confucianism still stands firm.
So they think that this is their own thing, and they think that they and the Jade Emperor are collaborators. Now the Jade Emperor's attempt to lure the wolf into the house is the other party's backstabbing. The other party violated the cooperation between the two parties, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among all Confucian parties. , even caused huge waves within the Divine Dynasty.
Even after the Conferring God War ended, the Wushen Sect completed its plan, got what it wanted, and began to gradually withdraw from the divine dynasty and gave up the fight for the power of human sacrifices, but it is undeniable that this matter gave Confucianism Very impressed.
After this stabbing in the back, various branches within Confucianism also have different positions and perceptions.
One party believes that since this matter is over, they can also take this opportunity to cooperate with the Jade Emperor again. After all, the Jade Emperor is now very powerful, and falling out with the other party has both disadvantages and disadvantages.
However, after what happened, the other party completely lost their recognition of the Jade Emperor. They believed that if there was one, there would be two. This time the Witch God Sect failed, but what about the next time the Jade Emperor does this again?
The Jade Emperor has already done it once, and not only was it not affected at all by this incident, nor did his interests suffer the slightest loss, he even gained huge benefits from this incident and made a lot of money. So what does this mean for him? It might be a good thing for the Jade Emperor.
Under such circumstances, if a similar situation occurs in the future, given the nature of the Jade Emperor, he might not do it again, or in other words, if he is sufficiently motivated by interests, the Jade Emperor would definitely not mind doing it again.
Under such circumstances, many people in Confucianism were similarly vigilant. Naturally, they were unwilling to continue to follow the Jade Emperor, nor were they willing to bet everything on the Jade Emperor.
These Confucian people came up with another plan. They believed that they now have enough power. Maybe they can directly transcend the existence of the Jade Emperor, continue to take root in the human race, and completely tie themselves to the human race. In this way, as long as the human race is immortal in the future, they can exist forever.
In the past, they paid more attention to the rulers of the divine dynasty, but now they want to bypass this layer of intermediaries to make themselves rulers.
And such a plan actually caused a fundamental conflict between them and the three parties of Demon, Buddha and Taoism. After all, this was the original path of these three parties.
Therefore, the power of Confucianism was immediately suppressed.
