Exploring the Dragon’s Lair Chapter 641: Going to Heaven
Due to the mixed connections and integration of several major sects, the Chinese system of immortals is quite complex. The status problem between the Taoist gods and Buddhist Buddhas has always been a major problem that plagues the Chinese system of immortals. Is it Buddha higher than Taoism or
Tao is higher than Buddha. There have been many debates in history, and there has been no conclusive documents published. In the end, the Heavenly Court coalition government was established.
The establishment of the Heavenly Court Alliance Government is a milestone event with epoch-making significance. This government was originally composed of 365 gods (note that it is 365 gods, and the gods have the lowest status in the immortal and Buddha world), and the stars in the sky are above.
, the lower management of all the living creatures in the sky, can be regarded as an efficient government. The government was formed based on Confucian doctrine and established an emperor (because the immortals do not die, it will not involve the issue of hereditary replacing). This is the Jade Emperor, whose full name is "Tai Shang Kai"
The Heavenly Master Fu Yuli Han Zhenti Tao, the Jade Emperor of Haotian, is the supreme head of the Heavenly Court coalition government and has the highest authority.
The Taoist ancestor, the Supreme Lord of the Supreme Lord and the Buddha, must also obey the leadership of the Heavenly Court, and the Jade Emperor's mission was called "admitted to the order".
The establishment of the Jade Emperor's position is the product of the full integration and compromise between Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. The Jade Emperor cannot be a god in any of the Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and can only be re-selected. The Heavenly Court government was established in accordance with Confucianism, which fully reflects the Confucianism in China.
The main position; the name of the Jade Emperor focuses on Taoism, which fully demonstrates the home-field advantages of Taoism; while the Buddhist school (Buddhist) maximizes the integrity of its own organization (Tathagata still dominates the West and has his own territory).
When the Heavenly Court coalition government was first established, it was more of a symbol and did not have great authority. All the immortals and Buddhas still did their own way. So the Heavenly Court began to recruit civil servants. Their enrollment targets were only three: some immortals in Taoism.
Some Bodhisattvas in Buddhism and some famous figures in the world in Confucianism. At first, they were just a small fuss. As more and more immortals and Buddhas joined the government, some senior immortals and Buddhas with status and status also joined the government and
He was in charge of some independent businesses, such as Emperor Zhenwu of Taoism, Emperor Donghua of Buddhism, etc. The four heavenly kings of Buddhism, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, etc. Many famous figures in the world recommended by Confucianism were also included in the Heavenly Court government, such as Guan Yu, Wei Zheng, Bao Zheng, etc.
The strength of the Heavenly Court is getting bigger and bigger. So the Taoist ancestor Taishang Laojun was also hired as the chief political consultant of the Heavenly Court (of course, in order to maintain the dignity of the Taoist immortal world, Laojun also demoted himself to the third level and voluntarily demoted from the Taoist boss to the Three Pure Ones.
Last).
At this point, the strength of the Heavenly Court gradually grew, and it had a considerable organizational scale. It even had a certain number of troops. The original component of the Heavenly Court, God, also had a considerable political status. As a rising star, it was already fully capable of cultivating.
The senior immortals and Buddhas at higher levels competed with each other.
In order to arrange sufficient jobs for the growing government, the central and local civil servants, the Heavenly Court began to form some local governments to be in charge of things in every place, mountain and water. The Ten Palaces of Yanjun were established in the underworld.
As the supreme commander, but the real power is in the hands of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. The Dragon King is divided into four seas, and the waters of the four seas are in charge of the world, and the water gods in the rivers, lakes and other places. For a time, all things in the sky and in the world were controlled by gods and immortals.
The Sidi Immortal Buddha can only entertain himself in designated areas. Except for some with vast magic power, he is generally not allowed to accept human affairs. At this point, the Heavenly Court Government completely controls the power of heaven and earth.
Under the unified leadership of the Heavenly Court, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, immortals and Buddhas were closely united around the central government with the Jade Emperor as the core. For a moment, they were all at peace and well-behaved. Taoists installed a large number of personnel in the Heavenly Court and basically mastered the Heavenly Court.
For most affairs; Buddhism also took the opportunity to arrange the four great Bodhisattvas to enter the four famous mountains and firmly stand firmly in their own footsteps; Confucianism established the government with its own doctrines, and effectively consolidated its dominance in the world.
To this day, the true immortals in the lower realm have achieved success in the heavenly realm of immortal cultivation, and they are rarely divided into immortal officials. At most, they are called the first-class immortals. Find a place to practice and have a good place to visit the beautiful rivers and mountains of the immortal world.
.Or it is just a worshiper and a living under someone else's roof. However, if the sects in the lower realm are strong enough and there are people in the upper realm who support them, they will naturally be able to make a splash.
Wei Tian had heard all kinds of rumors about the Heavenly Court before, but he never thought that he could become an official in the Heavenly Court. Although the Heavenly Court coalition government threw all the saints that were most difficult to restrain to Wei Tian,
After all, this is also a big official. Imagine the sages of saints like the Martial Saint Guan Yu and the Military God Yue Fei, who are managed by himself, and Wei Tian's heart is full of expectation.
As soon as he entered the South Heaven Gate, Wei Tian saw the giant spirit guarding the gate.
Look at the size, it is not a little bigger than the giants. With a burly figure, standing in front of the giant god, it feels like facing a mountain, giving people a kind of shadow and pressure in their hearts. However, these are aimed at others
, For Wei Tian and Sun Wukong, although the Giant Spirit God is a god with considerable combat power in the heaven, it is not in the eyes of Wei Tian and Sun Wukong.
The scenery of the heaven is indeed extremely beautiful, surrounded by immortal clouds, and it reflects a prosperous era of singing and dancing everywhere. Perhaps, for the heaven without disputes, Wei Tian's appearance should have found them a very good pastime. Unfortunately, in the end,
I don’t know whether to spend Wei Tian or Wei Tian’s entertainment in the heavenly realm.
With the monkey traveling in the heavens without hesitation, Wei Tian discovered that the scenery of this real heavens was not as beautiful as his own small heavens. Cranes, celestial girls, fairies, and various gods appeared in Wei Tian's vision from time to time.
Even the lotus pond is so beautiful that it makes people feel refreshed and full of relaxed and happy.
Compared to the small heaven where you live only in your own family, the Zhentian Court, whether it is popularity, landscape, or even the size of the region, is dozens or even hundreds of times that of Wei Tian's small heaven. Not to mention anything else, it's just the shepherd.
Tianma's ranch is a bit too big. It can provide Tianma running freely with a trip of 100,000 miles a day, and its ranch is absolutely too big.
Compared to the Heavenly Court, Wei Tian carefully calculated the improvement effect of his small Heavenly Court. At the same time, he looked at the blockbuster movies of the cranes, and there was no embarrassed at all. With a roll of big sleeves, thousands of cranes were rolled up in the sleeves of cultivation.
Seeing Sun Wukong and the passing immortal were stunned. They caught cranes when they came to heaven. It was estimated that Wei Tian was the first or the only one.
Wow~!
A lot of saliva flowed down from behind Wei Tian. Looking back, Wei Tian saw a pig's head looking at him with drooling affectionately. When he felt a little disgusted, the pig's head spoke and said, "The Great Immortal is really a person in my Taoism."
Ah! Old Pig, my idea of fighting those cranes is not a short time.
But I never dared to do it. Brother, tell me when I cook the crane and eat it. I will definitely arrive as soon as possible!"
A black thread flowed down Wei Tian's forehead, and Sun Wukong was so angry that he jumped up and scolded: "Ye, you fool, sooner or later, you will be able to kill you."
Looking at the pig, Wei Tian didn't have to think about it and knew that this guy was the messenger of the altar, Sun Wukong's junior brother Zhu Bajie.
The pig head ran to Sun Wukong with a shameless look on his face, and gave Sun Wukong a thumbs up, saying, "Brother Monkey, amazing, amazing! The brother you invited is not simple, it is indeed not simple! Hugh...
…When will we eat roasted cranes? Well, steaming is good, if you take some Qiongyao, it will be even more satisfying to eat!"
Eating three sentences is indeed the true nature of a pig's head.
Wei Tian shook his head, and had no intention of making trouble with this pig head. He grabbed thousands of cranes in one breath, with the purpose of returning to his lower heaven to stock. With these cranes in his small heaven, his popularity will definitely be
It is very prosperous. The so-called pig head eating a crane, and he wants to eat it and let him catch it himself.
Wei Tian shook his head, but the monkey didn't understand. He looked at Wei Tian left and right and asked, "Wei Tian, why are you catching the crane?"
"Of course it's for eating!"
Before Wei Tian could answer, Zhu Bajie had already answered first. Sun Wukong was so angry that he grabbed the pig's ears and twisted them hard, kicking the pig's head away. Wei Tian smiled calmly, very natural
He said, "Hang, don't you realize that there is a lack of popularity in my little heaven?"
Sun Wukong nodded suddenly, but Wei Tian continued to speak, "This time I come to the Heavenly Court, there are so many things to do! I will catch thousands of heavenly horses later, and then I will get a few more dragons. The peaches in the Peach Garden will also be transplanted.
A few monkeys, your elder brother Zhenyuan Daxian’s ginseng fruit, please ask you to get a few of them for me!”
The monkey was sweating all over his head. In his opinion, Wei Tian’s request was a bit too much. But he knew that Wei Tian was definitely saying it and doing it. From the moment he went to the Heavenly Court, he caught a thousand cranes.
I guess the Queen Mother’s peaches and her elder brother’s ginseng fruit will definitely not be able to be preserved.
However, Monkey is not a kind character. After thinking about such a thing, he will definitely gain a lot of benefits. He immediately compared a seven-pointer to Wei Tian and made a three-pointer. Although he didn't say it with his mouth, he meant
But I understand very well.
Wei Tian immediately gave the guy a blank look, shook his head slightly, and said, "I'll invite you to eat after it's cooked."
The monkey immediately laughed happily, grabbed Wei Tian's big hand, and said, "Ha, let's go to see the Jade Emperor first. Then you see the saints again, and then I will accompany you to steal.
Oh no, I'm going to pick it up. Hip-Hahaha, it's fun and fun. I have been so happy for so many years. "
When Wei Tian saw a pig's head running over with saliva flowing again, he didn't say anything nonsense, and said, "Let's go and see the Jade Emperor!" After that, a golden light flashed, Wei Tian and Sun Wukong
When it appeared again, it was already outside the [Lingxiao Palace]...
