Chapter 482: The Eighteen Tripods of the Tang and Song Dynasties Can Also Help the Heavens (I)

Hearing Zong Ze being so categorical, the vermilion face on the side couldn't help but argue loudly again: "Sect Master, why are you so sure?" What is the basis for this? ”

Hearing the shout of Zhu Qi's face, Zong Ze tilted his head slightly, glanced at him coldly, and then said to Liu Xing: "Don't hide it from the Taifu, if there is no Jiuding cast by the Emperor, I am afraid that I will still be a substitute for the crime." It was after the Emperor Taishang cast this tripod that there was a four-year sacrificial ceremony of Xuanhe. It is precisely because of that sacrificial ceremony that the Emperor Taishang granted amnesty to the world, so that I was blessed and reactivated by the imperial court. ”

At this point, Zong Ze once again turned his head sideways and glared at Zhu Qi's face coldly, and continued: "Therefore, when I entered the Golden Palace and led Tokyo to stay behind, I specially begged the emperor to allow me to go to see this Great Song Jiuding. ”

When Zong Ze said this, the vermilion lacquer face on the side was dumbfounded, and the whole person suddenly wilted.

He lowered his head and muttered softly, "Master Dare has seen it with his own eyes, no wonder he is so sure." Then I have been deceived again this time, and the thief, when I catch him, I will kill him alive to vent my anger. ”

"Who are you going to kill?" Hearing that whisper, Liu Xing also looked at him coldly, and scolded in a deep voice: "I am not good at my own ability, why blame others?" Didn't I tell you that there is endless divine power hidden in Yuwang Jiuding. As soon as you get closer, you will inevitably feel a powerful pressure. Can you give me a sense and see if the divine power contained in this Jiuding is very great? ”

While speaking, Liu Xing pressed the palm of one hand on the cangding that Zong Ze said, and the dark luck true power poured into the ding. I didn't encounter any blocking of the power of the seal at all, and even the divine power hidden in the canopy was stimulated and induced.

"Bang ......"

Liu Xing's divine power was only heard with a loud bang. Then I saw a few divine powers wandering into the air. Quickly conjured up a jasper-colored dragon and circled in midair.

Seeing the dragon that was conjured up by the true qi. Zhu Qi's face was startled at first. Immediately, when he saw Liu Xing looking at him, his face had changed into an evil smile. Realizing that danger was about to befall him, he turned and tried to escape the lobby.

"If you want to run, if you make a mistake yourself, you will be punished obediently! Go to ......"

Just when Zhu Qimian turned around and was about to escape, Liu Xingwei laughed and used his true qi to attract the dragon to chase Zhu Qimian like lightning and fly over.

"Ahh Taifu spared his life, Xiaodi was wrong, and he didn't dare anymore! "That dragon lightning is flying, how can the vermilion face be able to dodge. As soon as he screamed and begged for mercy, Canglong caught up with him, wrapped him up and lifted him up three or four feet high.

Then the dragon suddenly regained the true qi of the Ten Thousand Dao Dao, and dispersed with a "snort". The whole person with the red lacquer face fell to the ground. Then the ten thousand true qi was like a thousand qi and flame arrows, and it quickly shot back to the front of Cangding, and after a "snort" sound, it was hidden in the big ding.

Seeing that Zhu Qi's face was smashed, he sat up from the ground and kneaded his arms and thighs with a look of distress and resentment, Liu Xing just smiled evilly but didn't pay attention to him.

Turning around, he said to Shang Zongze, Liu Xing: "Zong Shuai, although the mana contained in these nine tripods is not an ancient divine power, it should not be underestimated. Dare to ask when this Jiuding was cast at that time, where did the masters come to infuse the divine power? ”

Hear this. Zong Ze's expression on his face became slightly gloomy, and he replied: "The Emperor Taishang is casting this Jiuding to town Kyushu. It is said that tens of thousands of Manichaean members were secretly captured and thrown into the furnace when the tripod was cast. ”

After hearing the words slightly, Zong Ze's face softened a little, and then said: "After the cultivation of tens of thousands of Manichaeans was smelted into these nine tripods, it is said that there are two thousand five hundred years of divine power in the four tripods of Bao, Cang, Feng, and Tong. Among the other five tripods, each has two thousand years of divine power. However, when Chongning sacrificed to Ding, Baoding was destroyed. Now there are only eight of these nine tripods. ”

Seeing Zong Ze's two different expressions in an instant, Liu Xing knew why he was dark first and then calm.

Smelting the Divine Ding with a living person and smelting the Divine Ding with the cultivation of a living person is definitely an extremely cruel means for any person with a conscience and humanity.

But in Liu Xing's opinion, the Manichaean group of people are not good birds, and it is actually too much to deal with them.

The first man of Manichaeism was called Mani, and his goal was to establish a worldwide religion, a religious tradition that transcended all things.

Mani claimed to be the successor and last prophet of Buddha, Zoroaster, and Jesus.

Mani said, "Wisdom and miracles are constantly being transmitted to mankind by the messengers of God. Thus once the messenger was a Buddha from India, and in another time it was Zoroaster from Persia; The next age is Jesus of Nazareth, Israel.

The revelation comes again, and the prophecy in this last age comes through me, Mani, the messenger of Allah from Babylon. "Manichaeism was influenced by Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Buddhism, and its teachings, under the influence of Gnosticism, advocated the complete liberation of the soul from the body, thus emphasizing abstinence and vegetarianism.

It also includes the Buddhist theory of reincarnation and the Syrian theory of angels. The other opposes Judaism, which is seen as a creature of the dark God.

During the period of Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian, Manichaeism gradually spread in the Anxi Protectorate.

During the reign of the Persians, Mihr-Ohrmazd introduced Manichaeism to China, and the Dayun Guangming Temple was built in Chang'an in the third year of the Tang Dynasty.

Manichaeism is also known as Mingjiao among the people, because believers call their gods "Mingzun".

However, when the Manichaeans first entered the Central Plains, they did not go well, and they tried to preach under the guise of Buddhism.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the king of Tocharian offered a Muja to China and was received by the Tang Dynasty. However, before the Anshi Rebellion, the religion did not have a monastery in China, and the history books contained a ban on the religion.

According to the General History, Emperor Xuanzong soon ordered the Chinese to strictly prohibit participation in Manichaeism on the grounds that it was "originally a heretical view and falsely claimed that Buddhism was confusing Li Yuan."

At the same time as Manichaeism was introduced to the Tang Dynasty, it was also introduced to the Hui shortly thereafter, and was designated as the state religion by the latter. After the Anshi Rebellion, the Manichaeans were able to preach in the Tang Kingdom with the support of the Hui Hui because of their own contribution to helping the Tang Dynasty quell the rebellion.

In the third year of the Tang Dynasty, the Hui Manichaeans were allowed to build the Mani Temple and the Dayun Guangming Temple in Chang'an.

Subsequently, at the request of Hui Su, temples were built in Jingzhou, Hongzhou, Yuezhou and other prefectures. In the second year of Tang Xianzong's reign, he built two Mani temples in Henan and Taiyuan, and sent commissioners to protect them.

Since then, Manichaean monasteries have spread throughout China. Manichaean priests came to China with Persian envoys, and they were courteously received by the Tang Emperor and spread rapidly in the Central Plains.

For Liu Xing, who was a materialist in his previous life and a Taoist inheritor in this life, Manichaeism is essentially a chaotic, inclusive but nondescript sect. Therefore, no matter how the predecessors or the current people view Manichaeism, at least in Liu Xing's eyes and mind, it is a cult. (To be continued.) )
