Although Cihang Zhenren and Guanyin Bodhisattva seem to be the same in terms of law, in the eyes of Taoism, Cihang Zhenren and Guanyin Bodhisattva are two completely different people.

Let's take a simple example.

Gender.

For Taoism, Cihang Taoist people are Taoist Jurchen immortals, and they are women before they become immortals.

According to the record of "Tongjian of the Immortals of the Past Dynasties", there is a Jurchen monarch in the Chaoyin Cave of Putuo Luojiayan, who is said to have cultivated here when he was the king of Shang, and has learned the samadhi of supernatural powers, and vowed to purify the men and women of the world. She often used pills and nectar water to relieve the people, and the people of the South China Sea called her Cihang Master.

The ancient scripture "Lingbao Sutra" records that Cihang Dao was originally the youngest daughter of the Zen Li world Fall King, and she still can't speak when she is four years old. There is no food in the mountains, and they are young and cannot pick or hunt, but they can devour the essence of the sun and the moon.

According to the records of ancient books, it can be known that the people of Cihang Dao were originally women, which is different from Buddhism, in the popular view of Buddhism, Guanyin Bodhisattva was originally a male body, and later turned into a daughter's body.

There is another obvious difference.

Time.

Taoism is a native religion of China, with a history of more than 4,000 years. According to the records of the "Immortal Tongjian of the Past Dynasties", Cihang Zhenren had already cultivated and became an immortal when he was the king of Shang; In addition, "The Romance of the Gods" records that during the reign of King Shang, Cihang Zhenren was one of the twelve golden immortals under the Yuan Shi Tianzun, ranking third.

According to this, it can be seen that Cihang Zhenren already existed in Chinese history at the latest in the late Shang and early Zhou dynasties, while Buddhism was first produced in the Han Dynasty, about 400-500 BC, and was introduced into China in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so Guanyin Bodhisattva only appeared in history in the Han Dynasty at the earliest.

In addition, there is also a difference between the two aspects of the law, the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined in the temple **, there will be a Buddhist mark of the word "swastika" on its chest, and the statue of the Taoist temple ** is categorically not.

Hearing the little eunuch talk about Cihang Zhenren, thinking of the religious beliefs of Buddhism and Taoism, Zhu Ping'an probably guessed the reason why Emperor Jiajing was in a bad mood.

Really.

What the little eunuch said in the next second also confirmed Zhu Ping'an's guess.

Coincidentally, June 19 is also the day of Avalokiteshvara's enlightenment. Yesterday, the saint sent Jinyiwei to the folk to collect style, to see how the people lived the enlightenment day of Cihang Zhenjun, and to see that Cihang Zhenjun's incense was okay. However, the vast majority of these ignorant people, 'every Mi Buddha and Guanyin', are asking to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, and very few are asking to worship Cihang Zhenjun, the incense of the temple is in full swing, but the incense of the Taoist temple is not satisfactory......"

The little eunuch leaned close to Zhu Ping'an's ear and said, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, there was an angry expression on his face, and his voice was also complaining.

"You say these ignorant people, they make the saint so sad, for them, the saint for them, day and night to cultivate, fasting and praying for blessings, praying to the heavens for the elimination and mitigation of natural disasters, praying for the peace of the country and the people, not all for these ignorant people, how many sleepless nights of prayer for blessings are there in the saints, you say that they are good, they are blessed by the saints, but they worship Guanyin like white-eyed wolves!"

The little eunuch was very upset about Emperor Jiajing, and when it came to the people worshipping Guanyin and not Cihang Zhenjun, they couldn't wait to smack their faces.

"So, it's because of this incident that the saint is in a very bad mood, Yan Shoufu, Xu Ge Lao and other adults who were announced to the Yongshou Palace this morning, as well as the adults who stayed in the Wuyi Palace, are all writing hard because of this matter." Only then did the little eunuch get back to business, "So, I didn't pass it on to Lord Zhu just now, just for the good of Lord Zhu." ”

"Ping An thanked my father-in-law again." Zhu Ping'an thanked him, and after understanding the cause and effect, he already had an idea in his heart.

If you want to get Emperor Jiajing to ask for a meeting, it seems that there is only ......

After thanking the little eunuch, Zhu Ping'an returned to the Wuyi Palace, at this time, there were three officials in the Wuyi Hall who had completed the masterpiece, and they were standing next to another official who was struggling to write the masterpiece, while exchanging the masterpiece, while waiting for the official to finish writing the masterpiece, so that they could hand it over to the inner servant who was in the Wuyi Palace, and he would transfer it to the Yongshou Palace.

Generally speaking, Sizhi's chamberlains collect four or five works and then submit them to the Yongshou Palace Imperial Review.

If you write an article and the waiter sends one, and he writes one and the waiter sends it again, won't the waiter have a broken leg......

"Please wait for my tea time, allow me to polish one or two more, finish it, and then you can send it to the royal tour together." The official in the seat, who was struggling to write, looked up and said apologetically to the three colleagues and friends who were waiting on the side.

"It's okay, it's not bad at this time. Brother Zhang, you can write with ease. ”

"Hehe, I'll just exchange one or two, and Brother Zhang will write it slowly."

"Hahaha...... Today is finally a little faster than Brother Zhang, if Brother Zhang is ashamed, you can invite us to have a drink another day. ”

The three officials on the side smiled and said with relief, they have been writing for a day, and it is not bad for this tea time.

The official surnamed Zhang naturally smiled in response, and then lowered his head to concentrate on writing.

This article took him a day of painstaking work to come out, and the ideas of the writing are his rare masterpieces in recent years, and now it is almost an end, but it must be carefully considered, and it must not be a dog's tail to continue the mink, and this masterpiece has been ruined in vain.

Zhu Ping'an heard their conversation, his eyes lit up, and when he passed by them, he smiled slightly and bowed to them.

The three standing officials responded with their heads bowed, their official positions were higher than Zhu Ping'an, and their seniority in Wuyi Hall was much older than Zhu Ping'an, so there was nothing wrong with returning the salute.

"Didn't Lord Zhu go to inspect Taicang by order, why did he come to Wuyi Hall empty?" An official asked.

"Oh, Xiaguan just came from Taicang." Zhu Ping'an replied, "I just went to Qintianjian to ask for a good day and an auspicious day to replace the Kumen......

"Hmmm......"

Several officials nodded, and didn't say anything more, just now the official just asked casually, as for Zhu Ping'an's inspection of Taicang or something, it has nothing to do with them, if it is related to it, it is just that the Taicang inspection team has not yet inspected and reduced its staff to only Zhu Ping'an, which is just a joke after their tea and dinner.

Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an gave up again, and then went back to his office.

The other two officials in the room were still busy writing, and when they saw Zhu Ping'an coming, they just glanced up, and then lowered their heads and worked hard to write.

After entering the room, Zhu Ping'an sat down, laid out pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and began to study ink......
