The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

Master Jingquan’s words are not long, but the amount of information contained is amazing.

Everyone hears the key points differently.

When Zhu Xiaoyuan heard about Mingjiao and the Great Light Sutra, he thought of his ancestors' origins. There are indeed rumors that Zhu Yuanzhang is a Mingjiao, and he gained the world through the power of the Mingjiao.

Among the Zhu family's collections, the most precious ones are Taoist classics. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, kings of all dynasties believed in Taoism and liked to make elixirs. This is known to everyone in the world.

But there is only one "Great Light Sutra", which is placed on top of all scriptures and is placed together with "Zhu Family Genealogy" and "Zhu Family Instructions".

The Zhu family does not practice Buddhism, but they want to worship this scripture.

Zhu Xiaoyuan didn't understand why, but now he understands that this scripture is the source of Mingjiao.

As a historian and archaeologist, Ke Jundao was a little surprised.

The origin of the Zhu family and Mingjiao, which originated from Manichaeism in Persia, can be verified. But the origin of the name of Mingjiao is said to be due to the pronunciation of Mani. In addition, Mingjiao indeed advocates fire and light. How could it be related to Wu Zetian?

But Master Jingquan's words solved some of his past doubts.

After Wu Zetian became emperor, he did not go to the Tai Chi Palace where the emperors of the Sui and Tang Dynasties lived, but Yi Yi lived in the Daming Palace. In the past, historians found many reasons to explain. For example, the Tai Chi Palace was low and humid, and Wu Zetian had a ghost in his heart when he usurped the throne and did not dare to face Li Shimin. Wait, it's too far-fetched, and it's not as clear as the word "Ming" explains it clearly.

In addition, there is indeed a saying in the "Dayun Sutra" that the Pure Light Goddess reincarnated as an emperor. Wu Zetian also specially asked people to write the "Dayun Jingshu", which provided a theoretical basis for her to ascend the throne as emperor.

Unfortunately, the real "Dayun Jing" has been lost long ago, and now only the "Dayun Jing Shu" has been handed down.

Combined with the time when Manichaeism was introduced to China and some clues about the subsequent development of Mingjiao, it is really possible that Wu Zetian was the first leader of Manichaeism.

Historians thought so much, but Li Muchen only thought of one thing: Wu Zetian destroyed Li Tang!

Originally, these histories had nothing to do with him, but when he was in Xiangjiang, Li Yancheng said that when the Li family was at its peak, Li Tang owned the entire world.

There are many people who want to destroy the Li family because the Li family has something in their hands that symbolizes absolute power.

The Li family in the capital was wiped out, and too many forces were involved, including the participation of the five envoys of the Demon Sect.

At that time, Li Tang was destroyed by Wu Zhou. Li Tang worshiped Taoism and Wu Zetian worshiped Buddhism. Li Tang was in Tai Chi Palace and Wu Zetian was in Daming Palace...

All of these seem to be inextricably linked to each other.

What is the relationship between Wu Zetian and Mingjiao? Who is Mani, the founder of Mingjiao?

Combining the information about Zhu Yuanzhang, Wu Zetian, and Mingjiao, Mingjiao should be the identity cover of Nanming Lihuotang, one of the Five Elements Hall, which was once a branch of the Demonic Sect.

But the Five Demonic Halls of Demon Sect are clearly in the Central Plains, but why did Manichaeism originate in the West and then spread to the East so quickly?

Manichaeism worships fire and advocates light. Does it have anything to do with the current Sun Religion?

The more Li Muchen thought about it, his mind became more and more confused.

I heard Master Jingquan continue to say: "After the fall of Wu Zhou, someone from the Wu family went to Jiuhua Mountain and enshrined the Great Light Sutra in front of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's seat. Later, this sutra was treasured in the Sutra Pavilion of this temple. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a monk named Rujing came to our temple, entered the Sutra Pavilion, and took away the Great Light Sutra. Later, this Master Rujing became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Xiaoyuan was surprised to find out that the ancestral emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had indeed become a monk in Huangjue Temple when he was young and worked as a traveling boy. His monastic name was Rujing. He travels extensively to seek alms, mostly in Anhui and Henan. Huacheng Temple in Mount Jiuhua is a famous temple through the ages, so it is normal for him to have visited Huacheng Temple.

"Master, so you are looking for the Great Light Sutra?"

"good."

"But the Great Light Sutra is enshrined in my Zhu family's ancestral hall. How could Master come to the secret realm to look for it?"

"Oh? Are the scriptures passed down from your family's ancestors in Chinese or Sanskrit? Handwritten or printed?" Master Jingquan asked.

"Of course it's in Chinese, it's a manuscript. It's said to be the original work of my Zhu family ancestor." Zhu Xiaoyuan said.

Master Jingquan shook his head and said: "That's not the case. What I am looking for is not the Great Light Sutra handed down from generation to generation, but the Sanskrit scripture brought back by Tang Xuanzang, which contains the Supreme Light Mantra."

"I see."

Zhu Xiaoyuan was silent after hearing this. He came here to find the scriptures, and the scriptures were originally in his scripture collection pavilion. His ancestors had stolen them out, or borrowed them. There was nothing he could do to stop them from looking for them. .

Lin Manqing suddenly asked: "Master, you said that the descendants of the Wu family brought the "Great Light Sutra" to Jiuhua Mountain. Did the descendants of the Wu family become monks in Jiuhua Mountain?"

"There is no clear explanation for this, but there is no way to become a monk. If the Wu family really becomes a monk in Jiuhua Mountain, it will no longer be the Wu family." Master Jingquan said.

Li Muchen knew why Lin Manqing asked this. The Wu family destroyed Li Tang, and there might be something related to the secret passed down by the Li family.

The possibility that Wu Zetian was the first leader of the Ming Cult also gave rise to a possible relationship between the Wu family and the Demon Cult.

"Does the Wu family still have a legacy?" he asked.

Xiao Sheng said: "There is a inheritance. The Jinzhou Wu family is the descendant of the Wu family of Tang Dynasty. They are very powerful, but they act low-key. And there is a very strange thing. No matter how their power develops, they will not leave Jinzhou."

"Jinju?"

Li Muchen suddenly thought that Zhou Shaoyi, the original owner of the house next to Li's house in the capital, seemed to be from Jinzhou. Hou Qigui investigated this person and found out that he originally opened a coal mine in Jinzhou and was very powerful. Later, he offended the local forces. Not only did he stop mining coal, he also came to the capital and did not even dare to go back to Jinzhou.

He knew it was useless to ask any more questions. Seeing Zhu Xiaoyuan's expression of embarrassment and knowing that Master Jingquan was looking for something in the Xiaoling Underground Palace, which made him very uncomfortable, he said:

"Mr. Zhu, the function of the compass is to guide space transformation and break the barrier formation. This is already a reality, and the compass cannot help us break through the wall. With my current cultivation, I can barely get out, but I can't I'll take you with me. If we don't want to damage the structure of this mausoleum, we need to find the way out. Instead of this, let's search as we walk and try not to destroy anything here. If we can find the "Great Light Sutra", let Master Jingquan bring it back. Let’s go to Huacheng Temple. If we find a way out, we’ll go out first, what do you think?”

Zhu Xiaoyuan nodded: "That's all we can do."

Master Jingquan glanced at Li Muchen gratefully, clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha, thanks to the kindness and merit of Donor Li, if you have time someday, please go to Huacheng Temple."

Li Muchen thought about going to the eighteenth level of hell in the future, so he smiled and said: "Just in time, I will visit Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sooner or later."

Jingquan thought he was going to Jiuhua Mountain Ksitigarbha Dojo, so he said, "The old monk will welcome the immortal."

After everyone agreed, they came out of the side hall.

Li Muchen cast a spell to move the red flame flag, which followed above everyone's heads like a burning cloud.

The outside is indeed a main hall that is many times larger than the side hall. In the hall, there are the throne of the emperor and empress, five glazed offerings, and everlasting lanterns hung on Panlong pillars.

The ashes in the lamp seemed to have just been extinguished.

Everyone was very surprised. Thinking of the battle they just experienced, could it be that the earth veins were sealed by the soil and the eternal lamp went out?

Only Li Muchen knew that the firepower of this ever-burning lamp did not come from lamp oil, but from the red flame flag covering Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma.

Now that the flag is in his hands, this ever-lasting light will naturally go out.

But, are the coffins of the emperor and empress still there? If they are, where did the one in the secret realm come from?
