Chapter 931: What is a Demon?
Judging from the final result, Xie Changqing and Tanxiao seem to have fought to a draw.
Although the strategy of talking and laughing was successful, it was defeated by Xie Changqing's sword.
But if you want to start from actual combat, the two will end up together.
When Xie Changqing's red sword was on his shoulder, the Feiyan knife had already left his hand.
So, it's a draw.
However, Tan Xiao took the initiative to admit defeat, and in his opinion, all his abilities were broken.
But only this time.
For many years after that, people often asked and laughed, and there was a sword in the world that he couldn't catch.
Tan Xiao always replied with a smile: "Yes, there was once a sword, and I couldn't take it no matter what." ”
............
Kunlun Dabi is over.
Most of the guests left satisfied.
They will spread the situation of the marriage of the head of Kunlun and the big comparison with the Kunlun faction to the rivers and lakes, so that the entire rivers and lakes will know the rumors of the Kunlun faction.
And the people who stayed were all ready to go all the way to Beijing with the Kunlun faction to participate in the world's first martial arts competition.
Only Qingxuzi, he didn't come to the Kunlun faction to participate in the competition, but just coincided with the meeting.
Qingxuzi came with a mission.
Moon Ring Peak, the abode of smiling to the sky.
Xiang Tianxiao, Danyangzi, Qingxuzi, the three of them sat together.
Although Danyangzi and Qingxuzi are a little different in age, they are both the heads of each faction.
When the three of them get together, they don't need to ask, they must be talking about the Xuanzhen lineage.
The three of them sat down and said a few words about Kunlun Dabi, which was nothing more than praising the disciples of the Kunlun faction.
At the end, Qing Xuzi said: "Looking at the martial arts of your sect today, it is indeed my Xuanzhen lineage, I heard that your sect has passed on my Xuanzhen morality to the Western Regions after destroying the Ten Thousand Saints Sect in the Western Regions, I don't know if it is really true?"
Xiang Tian smiled and was stunned for a moment, he really didn't deliberately do anything about the mission in the Western Regions in Qingxuzi's mouth.
It's just that some disciples are arranged to take over the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Saints Sect.
After a deep groan, Xiang Tianxiao responded:
"It is true, the Ten Thousand Saints Sect has been preaching in the Western Regions for many years, and it needs to be slowly taught with my Xuanzhen Doctrine, and it cannot be too hasty. ”
Xiang Tianxiao is looking for a threshold for his own family, in fact, in Xiang Tianxiao's mind, there is not much conflict between the Ten Thousand Saints Sect and the Demon Gate.
Qing Xuzi nodded, and said: "Kunlun sent the Ten Thousand Saints Altar in the Western Regions to pass on my Xuanzhen morality, which is to make immortal contributions to my Xuanmen, and now the martial arts conference is in front of me, I don't know what the head of the sect thinks about Buddhism and Taoism?"
Xiang Tianxiao frowned slightly, glanced at Danyangzi, and saw that his jaw was silent, and he already realized in his heart.
The real purpose of Qingxuzi's coming to the Kunlun faction is to think that it is for the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism!
......
Speaking of which, I have to mention the cognition of the Demon Gate and the Ten Thousand Saints Sect in Xiang Tianxiao's mind.
What is Demon?
"All the Sutras and Meanings" Volume 21 Demon Note Cloud: Mo He Anti, the book does not have this word, and the translator is righteous.
'Magical powers, natural powers, demons and demons. ’
The translation of the "Orthography" says: "The ancient demon grinds from the stone,?? Province also.
In other words, there is no demon in the world, and even the word "demon" is also a form and sound word.
In the beginning, the word "demon" generally referred to something strange and mysterious.
Especially the incomprehension of life and death, and the return to the devil after death.
The "Jade Chapter" of "Shuo Wen Xin Supplementary Examination": Devil, Mo He Che, the devil also.
So, the devil and the devil began to connect.
Generally speaking, demons are a kind of mystical worship, a kind of ancestor worship.
It can be seen that the devil preceded God.
Then, in the process of continuous development, with the different cognitions of things, the things that can be understood in a simple way and bring auspiciousness and happiness will be deified.
At this time, God is only a branch of the devil.
The remaining mysteries and visions that make people fear and catastrophic are still attributed to the devil.
As the worship of God flourished, the demons who belonged to God began to be feared and distant.
After that, the opposition between gods and demons was formed.
It can be seen that the demon itself is not evil, but in the process of inheritance, a part of the god establishes the demon as the opposite.
As an ancient tradition, there are believers in gods and demons and demons.
The fundamental way that the Demon Gate inherited in the Western Regions and Rouran is actually more direct than the spread of God.
Teach people life skills, pass on the five elements, yin and yang, and include the inheritance of martial arts.
Giving medicine to teach people to unite with each other and continue the community.
Spread dance, music, and art, let people know the etiquette, and pass it on to the next generation.
What the Demon Gate and the Ten Thousand Saints Sect spread are all such facts that make people's lives happier.
It's just that in the eyes of the people of the Wu Dynasty, these things have a strange existence.
For example, the Demon Gate advocates that women do not have to be the same, but have more copulation with powerful men, so as to give birth to strong offspring.
Another example: the Demon Gate teaches people that they do not need to respect God, and that they should rely on themselves for everything. In the event of a flood, drought, or other natural disaster, do not seek God, but save yourself.
In the view of the Demon Gate, after death, the body is a useless thing, and it is used for research to save more people, why not?
Xiang Tianxiao, as a traverser, immediately judged after learning this:
The so-called Demon Gate is just a relatively primitive scientific inheritance, which cannot be said to be all correct, but it is indeed more rational.
Moreover, Xiang Tianxiao compared it with the Nanfan White Sect, and the two have a lot in common, or they are originally one family.
It's just that the development of the White Religion is more hypocritical.
This is just like the demon first transitioned to the White Sect, and then from the White Sect to the gods, and the Southern Fan White Sect was also the predecessor of the Wu Dynasty's Zhongtu Shimen.
Suddenly, Xiang Tianxiao understood the origin of the so-called religion.
The first demon was the birth of a mystical worship and practical philosophy.
In the process of development, it is divided into three parts:
One group insisted on inheritance, inherited the tradition of demons, and attributed all the sages to one, forming the worship of the Great Heavenly Demons, and forming the later Demon Gate.
Some people, starting from practice, break through the shackles of heaven and earth with their own self-cultivation, not only adhere to philosophy, but also deify worship, thus forming the Tao.
The last part of the people, who only take the good side, deify it and form religious worship, this is the original Buddha, the true Buddha.
However, the development of the Buddha has been distorted in later generations, and samsaric rebirth has intimidated sentient beings and made them ignorant.
The Buddha does not take the things of others, but the Buddha of later generations receives incense from thousands of families.
The Buddha does not make statues, does not pass on merits, does not live in houses, and later generations will build temples and defraud money to enjoy.
The Buddha continues to do things for men and women, focusing on passing on the legacy to future generations, and the Buddha is passing on the descendants to enter the path of enlightenment.
And in the midst of enlightenment, he meets the daughter of greed, and does what he desires with his own body, so that he will be corrected. ("The Sutra of the Samadhi Sea of the Buddha", "The Sutra of the Wisdom Bodhisattva Asking the Great Good Right", "The Treatise on the Ten Dwellings of Vibhasha", early Buddhist scriptures)
It can be seen that Buddhism from the demon inheritance is the right way to face up to the affairs of men and women, and to teach men and women by word and deed.
In the process of the formation of Buddhism, it deviated from the direction, and only then did it have the double body method of the Nanbo White Religion, and then there was the extinction of Buddhism.
The so-called color is emptiness, and emptiness is color, which has always been artificially misunderstood.
Misconception 1: Translation errors.
Misconception 2: Wrong interpretation.
In other words, the person who explains is himself lying and misinterpreting the true meaning of the Buddha.
(Knowing that Naga is an evil demon, he has to translate it as a guardian dragon, and he knows what the Great Freedom Heaven is, so he has to translate it as a Buddha.) ）
