Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 32: Two Generations of Heavenly Courts He said that there would be no discussion, but Qi Xuansu couldn't help but feel moved in his heart because it involved the ancient witchcraft religion.

Zu Tianshi is a disciple of Taishang Taozu. His "Three Five Male and Female Evil Slaying Swords" and "Yang Ping Zhidu Gong Seal" were both given by Taishang Taozu. It can be said that Zu Tianshi came with a mission.

Later, the Ancestral Heavenly Master established the Tianshi Sect and destroyed the ancient witchcraft religion.

There are various theories about his motives, some say it is to grab territory, some say that the ancestor Tianshi cannot stand the barbaric style of the ancient witch sect, and some say that the ghosts of the ancient witch sect are causing chaos and have to be eliminated.

In short, there are any opinions.

But no matter what, the Taishang Daozu behind Master Zu must have known about it and acquiesced.

Combined with the mythology mentioned by Shi Bingyun just now, there is another theory. The elimination of the ancient witchcraft religion became an act of eliminating dissidents. Qi Xuansu sorted out his thoughts, and Tian Gai had a guess.

Donghuang Taiyi, also known as Dongjun, led the gods to establish the first generation of the Great Court. As the main god, Dongjun naturally became the Great Belt, the Lord of the Great Court.

This Eastern Emperor is not the Eastern Emperor of Taoism, and this Heavenly Court is not the "Heavenly Court" of Nanyang.

This thing is essentially no different from It Sumner's Paradise.

The highest level person in the heaven is the Emperor of Heaven, and under him there are the God of Clouds, God of Thunder, God of Wind and God of Rain.

At this time, the system of gods was still very simple and primitive, not as complicated as it would later be. Each god performed his own duties.

If you need to pray for a certain kind of weather, wind, thunder, rain, and clouds will all play their respective roles, but each needs to offer sacrifices to different gods.

It can be seen that the economic base determines the superstructure, because at that time it was still a very primitive primary farming system, so the gods were related to the weather. There were no gods of business, gods of wealth, etc. Because there was no contact with the sea, there were no gods such as Poseidon and Queen of Heaven.

These gods are new gods that were born later in response to the development of the world to meet the growing and different needs of the Tianbai surname.

Shinto is also constantly developing and advancing, rather than just standing still, so there is no need to worship the past and belittle the present.

However, unlike the New World, outside the first generation of Heaven at that time, there was an ancient and powerful being who did not belong to this Heaven, and that was Taishang Daozu.

The underlying logic of all power is force.

When someone has absolute force but not absolute power, the situation will get out of control.

Perhaps the Taishang Daozu at that time had not yet reached the realm of inaction in the future, so the Taishang Daozu did something and turned into the Guangcheng Patriarch to enlighten Emperor Guan, and a generation of human emperors rose up. In the process, the human emperors also encountered Some opponents, such as the Jiuli forces, are closely related to the ancient witchcraft religion. It is even said that the chief of Jiuli is a great witch.

During the battle between the two sides, Feng Boy and Yu Shi personally came to the scene to help Jiuli's forces and jointly defeated Ying Long, who was loyal to the Emperor. Feng Boy and Yu Master were the first generation wind gods and rain gods of the Great Court. This can be suspected. , Behind the "Jiuli" power was the first generation of Guanting. Dongjun did not sit back and watch the rise of the Human Emperor without being indifferent. He had taken action.

Later, a series of things happened, and the Human Emperor received help from the Nine Heavens Xuannv.

Jiutian Xuannv was the one who wrote the "Sutra of Immortality Su Nv". She broke the spells of Feng Bo and Yu Shi, allowing the Human Emperor to defeat Jiu Li, chase him all the way to the place where the deer is chased, and capture Feng Bo and Yu Shi alive. He surrendered, and Jiuli's chief minister was beheaded.

As for why Dongjun didn't take action himself, it should be because he didn't understand the Taishang Daozu who was behind the Human Emperor.

In this way, the Human Emperor took control of the world of the Central Plains. Later, under the promotion of Taishang Daozu, the Human Emperor established a separate heaven to compete with the first generation of heaven.

Judging from the final result, the Human Emperor won, Dongjun's sons were all killed in the battle, Dongjun himself had most likely died, the ancient witch sect surrendered, the Thunder God surrendered, and the Cloud God disappeared.

Da Dai became the second generation owner of Da Ting and continues to this day.

However, the foothold of Dadai was not yet stable at that time, and the power of the ancient witch sect was still huge and difficult to move lightly. Therefore, Dadai treated the ancient witchcraft mainly to appease them, and still let them serve as their own inspectors. However, Dadai also had some mixed feelings. behavior, that is to install a Wu Yang.

This can be explained why Ren Mo Wuyang is incompatible with the Ten Witches of Lingshan, why the legends about Wu Yang are relatively independent, why Ren Mo Wuyang finally chose to be an enemy of the Ten Witches of Lingshan, and why Ren Mo Wu Yang is biased Taomen.

Because Wu Yang was the confidant of the second-generation Emperor of Heaven and a nail planted by the Emperor in the witch religion.

This couldn't help but remind Qi Xuansu that in the dream he had in the past, the great witches were gathered around a fire to discuss matters, and Wu Yang kicked the fire away. Of course, the other ten great witches were all like giants, and only Wu Yang was a normal person. height.

Qi Xuansu had not thought of this in the past, but as he gained a deeper understanding of witchcraft, he suddenly discovered that except for the "witchcraft" in the name, Wuyang was not like the ancient witchcraft.

Then it makes sense for the Taoist sect to belittle the Ten Wus of Lingshan and exalt Wu Yang in the future.

Not only because Wu Yang was kind to Xuansheng, but also because Wu Yang belonged to his own people.

When the Emperor of Heaven gained a firm foothold and the situation was established, he began to look at dismantling the ancient witchcraft religion.

The first move is to Xiancha Qidian.

Dou was killed by his subordinates, and his body was sent to Lingshan Mountain. He asked the ten witches of Lingshan to rescue him. The ten witches of Lingshan used the elixir of immortality to revive Qi Ying. However, after being revived, Qi Ying's temperament changed and he ate everywhere. The human being was finally shot and killed by the Emperor of Heaven.

After this incident, Wu Peng, the number two figure in the ancient witch sect, and Wu Xian, the leader of the ancient witch sect, had a disagreement. Wu Peng believed that the elixir of the ten witches in Lingshan was incomplete and needed to change their thinking, while Wu Wei denied that Wu Xian Both sides have supporters of Peng's proposal, but generally they have not turned against each other.

At this time, the Emperor of Heaven used his second move, Wu Yang appeared.

After Wu Yang appeared on the scene, the specific process is unknown. As a result, the Six Enlightenment Witches were born. The Six Enlightenment Witches led by Wu Peng and Wu Yang returned from Lingshan and went to Kunlun. They were eventually trapped by Lu Wushen, a loyal subordinate of the Emperor of Heaven. .

The remaining five great witches were nothing to worry about. As a result, she cut off her limbs again because of the elixir of immortality. First, Wu Wei fell into madness because he tried the medicine with his own body, and then Wu Luo secretly joined forces with the other three great witches. Wu Wei, buried Wu Wei in the Valley of the Netherworld.

Wu Luo replaced Wu Wei as the leader of the ancient witch sect.

At this point, the ancient witchcraft religion has fallen into pieces and is no longer relevant.

At this time, Emperor Guan used the third and final move to give the "Three and Five Male and Female Evil-Slaying Swords" and the "Yang Ping Zhidu Gong Seal" to the ancestor Tianshi, and ordered him to establish the Tianshi Sect. The so-called Tianshi, the earliest The origin is Patriarch Guangcheng, the incarnation of Taishang Taoist Patriarch. Because Patriarch Guangcheng enlightened Emperor Guan, he was the master of Emperor Guan. There are poems to prove it: Emperor Xuan came out of the imperial world and sat in the Dharma Palace.

At that time, I heard that in Kang Qu, children were singing everywhere.

Tianshi Guangchengzi, the Tao is the same as the emperor.

A word suddenly resonates with each other, and the whole world is in the same breath.

What did the Heavenly Master say at the beginning, Zhuolu had not done any merit, but with pure blessings, he decided to rule the world.

The king and his ministers both live well, and nature is in harmony with the sky.

God's way is good, so I will return the favor.

One thousand two hundred years old, why is this life so short? This is the story of Patriarch Guangcheng and Da Dai.

After Master Zu was ordered to establish the Master Sect, he accumulated strength, coupled with Wu Luo's ignorance of big numbers and acted recklessly, which finally made people angry and devastated. Zu Tianshi thus rebelled and became a substitute in the true sense. Tianxing Dao, punishing the people and punishing crimes, the masters came out to attack the Lingshan Cave Pass, killed the last four great witches, eliminated the "remnants" of the ancient witch sect in the first generation of Guanting, and officially established the foundation of the Taoist sect.

As a result, Taoism replaced the ancient witchcraft religion, just as the second generation of heaven replaced the first generation of Guan Ting.

As for how the Taoist sect developed later, that is all a story for another day.

On the other side, the Six Witches of Bingming who were trapped in the Kunlun Cave by Lu Yin Shen were not spared. They did not die at the hands of the Ancestral Master, but at the hands of Xuansheng, Li Zu, Zhang Zu, Xu Zu and others. Hands, this is also a meritorious person of Zhongxing Taoist Sect in Xuansheng Prefecture, who respectively laid the foundation for the later Taiping Taoism, Zhengyi Taoism and Quanzhen Taoism.

In the end, in addition to Wu Yang, five heavenly witches including Wu Peng among the six enlightened witches were also killed.

Not one of the ten witches in Lingshan of the ancient witch sect was spared.

For nearly a thousand years, the ancient witchcraft religion, a behemoth that once dominated the Central Plains, has become a legend in the past. The most important successor of Taoism stands on the land of Kyushu. The Supreme Taoist Ancestor and the Emperor of Heaven have also become the supreme beliefs of the people of Central Plains.

This makes people wonder, is there really God’s will in the dark? Anyone else would certainly not be able to make such a guess, but Qi Xuansu could.

Because he possesses the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", he knows too much about the ancient witchcraft. He has even been to Lingshan Cave Pass and witnessed the fall of the witches in retrospect.

As he gained more and more status in the Taoist sect, he also learned more about the secrets of the Taoist sect.

In this case, we have to think about it.

His guess cannot be said to be completely correct, but at least it can be sorted out logically.

As for why Qi Xuansu pays so much attention to these ancient legends, the reason is very simple, because of the Yao family.

Qi Xuansu didn't want to admit it, but he was indeed on the road to becoming an enemy of the Yao family, and the Yao family had a great witch bloodline, and all the earth masters of the past generations had an inexplicable relationship with Wu Xian.

Only when you know the other side can you fight in vain. How can Qi Xuansu do it without paying attention? As the descendants of the witch sect and the top leaders of the Taoist sect, the Yao family has some other goals? Like, revenge? This is also difficult to say.

At this moment, Shi Bingyun's words pulled Qi Xuansu back.

"In the legend, Yunzhongjun is the cloud god under Dongjun, and he has a high status. But there are also legends that Yunzhongjun is not only the cloud god, but also the water god of Yunmengze. He and Xiangjun are one and the same."

"You should know what it means to be one body and have two sides, right? The moon gods you met in the New World are called Ixichel and Chakchel."
