Chapter 78: Shinto Secrets
It wasn't until Si Ming went back to watch the game again that the two magic weapons returned to normal"※
"Huh" "Huh", "What is this?", is it a god or a fairy?" Tai Sui's voice was obviously trembling.
"I can't be sure! it's probably an innate spirit!" "Xuantianlu" replied immediately.
Tai Sui immediately said: "Innate Spirit! No way, if it is really an Innate Spirit, we are already finished." Wherever the innate essence is nearby, all the magic weapons will be erased from the spirituality. It becomes an ordinary utensil. ”
"But judging by the situation in which it suppresses us. It can only be an innate spirit, otherwise no existence can suppress two immortal weapons at the same time, which even a holy weapon can't do
Probably because of the existence of the big guy Si Ming, the two magic weapons have rushed to threaten, maybe out of the same disease, they actually communicated with each other.
Su Xue and the three of them were all a little dumbfounded.
"I've played a game before. It's like it's called "Legend of Destiny", and there are a few talking swords in it, and they will chat when they get together. I can't imagine that this kind of situation in the game is actually born in reality," Fan Da Mei was stunned for a while before saying.
"A talking sword? Ten continents, three islands, major caves, who doesn't have a few? There are even a few blessed lands, and the magic weapons above the spirit weapon level can speak" Tai Sui suddenly interjected.
ten thousand
"Tai Sui, then what do you think Si Ming is?" Su Xue also looked puzzled. He did want to know what Si Ming was. It seems that the statement of "Xuantianlu" is not certain. I'm afraid only God knows it's a thing.
"Fellow Daoist Su Ze, after I thought about it repeatedly, I always felt that Venerable Si Ming did not look like an immortal existence. It probably belongs to Shinto!" Tai Sui's attitude towards Su Xue was much more polite.
There's no way, who calls someone above the family, no, there is a "spirit" on it, and it doesn't look at Su Xue's face, but also on Uncle Si Ming's face. If you scold Wang Zhi like you did, maybe you will make Uncle Si Ming angry. Don't look at Tai Sui as an immortal weapon, but in front of this kind of natural nemesis, you will never dare to fill any big cloves of garlic. Uncle Si Ming's anger, it can't afford it.
"Shinto?Immortal?What does this mean?Is there any difference?" Su Xue was taken aback.
"It's a big difference!" Tai Sui said proudly. In terms of this kind of secret allusion, it can indeed be proud of itself.
"Shinto and Immortal Dao are completely different, Shinto is in the front, and Immortal Dao is in the back" The handwriting is also shown on the "Xuantianlu".
Su Xue and the three of them looked at each other, and said in unison: "Then please explain" Divine Dao and Immortal Dao, although it is not the first time they have heard of it. But the current information is vague, and naturally it is impossible for these two old monsters to know and be stunned.
Under the complementarity of Tai Sui and Xuantian Lu. The three of them have some understanding of Shinto and Immortal Dao.
It turns out that Shinto is the true way of immortality. The cultivation of the fairy road again. It turned out to be a copycat version of the Immortal Dao that had no choice but to be forced out.
The idea of immortals has existed, and the root is not actually in Taoism, but in the ancient gods. So in the beginning, Shinto and Sendo were fundamentally two roots. The former is derived from the Divine Quilt, and the latter is derived from Taoism.
The so-called Shinto refers to the method by which the descendants of the gods are given or cultivated by the ancestral gods and ascend to return to the divine court. This is also the earliest way of immortality.
Later, because of the emergence of Taoist thought, there was another way of immortality. Taoism is not actually Lao Tzu's Ming, it first comes from the Book of Changes. The most basic element of the Book of Changes is the concept of yin and yang, which describes the evolution of all things with the concept of yin and yang, and illustrates the way of the cycle of Zhou and Tian.
Then, Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching". It further compares the principle of the relative circulation of yin and yang in the I Ching. It is also raised to the height of the root of heaven and earth. At the same time, Taoist thought was sorted out and purified. Taken together, these two books are the general outline of classical Taoism. With these two classics, the true Taoism was formed.
Only, in this. The "immortal" at that time could not be regarded as a real "immortal", because the "immortal" at this time was actually a kind of "god", because it also focused on how to activate the blood of the gods and eventually ascend to the kingdom of God. This is different from the "immortals" of later generations.
However, with the passage of time, starting from the "Jedi Heavenly Pass" to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the power of the divine descendants gradually faded, and the earliest Shinto and primitive immortal Dao gradually became unusable. Therefore, by the time of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the primitive Shinto gradually merged with the idea of the fairy way, forming the second stage
"Fang Xian Dao"
In fact, "Fang Xiandao" has little to do with Taoism. The core idea of "Fang Xian Dao" is to pursue immortality through ghosts and gods. Its so-called "Fang" refers to the immortal god, and the so-called "immortal" refers to the immortal immortal. And the fundamental idea of "square". It is a secret from the ancient gods, and it is given by the ancestral gods. Therefore, at this time, "immortals" can not be regarded as real "immortals", and the prosperous period of a purchase is the late Warring States period. Its representative figures include Song Wuji, Zheng Boqiao, Xinxiang, Lu Sheng, Li Shaojun, Li Shaoweng, Zada, Gongsun Qing and so on. Fang Xiandao's method is mainly through various "squares." "Making Wai Dan to eat, stimulating the blood of the gods to become gods, these activities continued until the end of the Han Dynasty and were still very active.
This kind of "Dan." It is the "elixir" and the "elixir" that appeared later. It's not the same thing. Of course, this method is not Taoist orthodoxy.
It's just that with the gradual thinning of the divine blood. The method of using Wai Dan to stimulate the blood of the gods is gradually becoming unusable. And this method is very dangerous. Because that kind of "divine pill" is completely poisonous to mortals. Not only does it have requirements for the concentration of gods, but the most important thing is to look at the character, if the character is not good, even if it is a god with red roots, there is only a dead end if you eat it.
There is no way to become a god, and there is no problem to become a corpse.
Because the success rate is too low, and it kills at every turn. Therefore, Shinto gradually disappeared into the long river of history. And the fairy, which had a milder approach, gradually unfolded.
However, although Shinto has disappeared, the method of "serving Dan" has not disappeared, and it has not only been absorbed and improved by the immortals of later generations, but has even spread among the people.
And with the depletion of the aura, the immortal path also gradually declined. However, the method of "serving Dan" has been tenaciously passed to the present. In fact, the "five stones" of later generations. and other mineral drugs with strong side effects, which are the remnants of the "magic pill".
However, the real disappearance of Shinto is related to Taoism. Note that Taoism is not the same as Taoism. It's not the same as the fairy way.
Taoism, contrary to the influence of ordinary people, was not a peaceful religion in the first place. It's one. Extremely violent groups.
The founder of Taoism is Zhang Daoling, whose real name is Zhang Ling. He is a native of Fengyi in Peiguo of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is said to be the eighth grandson of Zhang Liang in the early Han Dynasty, whether it is really only God knows. He once served as the governor of Ba County and Jiangzhou, and later abandoned his official position and went into hiding. Later, I came to Yunjin Mountain, now Longhu Mountain Alchemy, it is said that three years of alchemy and dragon and tiger see, so this mountain is called "Dragon and Tiger Mountain".
He also founded Taoism in Longhu Mountain. But in the beginning, his ministry was very busy. The people didn't buy his account at all. Because at that time, the whole day is under the central plains, especially the core area of the Central Plains. The people who believe in ancient gods or ancestral gods are all unable to gain a foothold in Taoism, and Zhang Dada can't fool people at all.
Of course, Zhang Dada was a smart man, and when he saw that the Central Plains couldn't get ahead, he changed his route and went to support the frontier.
Therefore, the Taoist book says: "Hearing that the folk customs in Shu are pure, it is easy to educate, and they enter Shu to live in Heming Mountain to cultivate the Tao." And in the first year of Han'an, he was given the way of Zhengyi Alliance, founded Taoism, and established twenty-four rules. With sacrificial wine, the water cures the disease, and the people take it as a teacher. ”
If Taoism wants to rise, it must first deal with the ancient god system that was originally dominant. At that time, the Shinto forces in Shu were relatively weak. Therefore, Taoism first established a base here, and re-established a new heavenly court and divine system.
After Zhang Dada established his team, he began to crusade against a large number of ghosts and gods in Shu. Those who do not obey are killed, and those who obey are surrendered, and they are always driven by the covenant, which is in history. It is called "cutting down mountains and breaking temples". At that time, even the ancestors were regarded as ghosts, either killed or surrendered.
Of course, none of the people they cleaned up at that time could be regarded as real gods, at most they were at the level of the earth.
stone
In the back, it was the Taiping Dao, a branch of Taoism, that rebelled, and this was the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Zhang Jiao's thinking is more extreme than Zhang Daoling's, Zhang Daoling is just to snatch divine power, but Zhang Jiao even wants to grasp secular power, and he wants to establish an "earthly divine kingdom"
If it were a different era, he might have succeeded, but his fate was not good, and he encountered the most powerful Han Dynasty. So he ended up tragic. Taiping Dao was also bombarded to the slag by the Han army. Zhang Daoling's faction was retained by clearing the boundaries of Xun and Taiping Dao.
However, after this battle, the Taoist bigwigs also understood that there was no good end to confronting the government. Since then, he has given up the struggle for the world. Turned to concentrate on theocracy. Well, Sun En in the back also made a fuss, and the scale was also very large. Of course, it's also on the street.
However, the war between Taoism and the ancient gods ended up being a defeat for both sides, and no one was killed. Although Shinto is at a disadvantage, Taoism is not comfortable either. So, in the end, it was cheaper for the Buddhist guys.
Of course, the decline of Shinto is also related to the "Jedi Heavenly Communication." related, because the blood of God is getting thinner day by day. The power of the old gods gradually faded, and they could not manifest themselves in the world. This will make Taoism rise, if in ancient times, Taoism could not get ahead at all.
"Of course, I'm not sure," Tai Sui said. ”
