Chapter 434 433. Eastern Green Emperor (two chapters in one)
Through the information obtained from some correspondence between the Lin Clan of Jiangzhou in the Han Dynasty, Lei Jun can basically confirm that this world of the Two Jin Dynasties is closer to the great catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty than the current Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. In other words, the history of the Two Jin Dynasties itself is shorter.
And the time difference between the Two Jin Dynasties and the Tang Dynasty and the current Han Dynasty is not small, more than a thousand years.
After Lei Jun came to the Two Jin Dynasties, he further collected and understood the local customs and historical information here.
After the great catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty, this world can also be said to be full of disasters.
The Great Jin Dynasty after the Han Dynasty rose and fell, and eventually turned into the current situation of confrontation between the north and the south.
Although it is not as turbulent as the history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties in Lei Jun's memory before he came to this world, it has been turbulent for many years.
The situation of the division of mountains and rivers made both the Southern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Jin Dynasty inherently deficient, and the dragon veins of national destiny were weak.
Although the emperors of the Southern and Northern Jin dynasties still carry the blessing of the country's destiny, they are far behind the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty.
They may not even be comparable to the Song Dynasty, which fought hard against the Golden Khanate.
However, the blessing of the emperor's skills should never be underestimated.
The emperors of the Southern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Jin Dynasty both cultivated to the ninth heaven realm and stood at the top of the world.
... It should have been like this.
But in fact, the strongest person in this world comes from Buddhism.
It's just that the two sects have different sources and inheritances.
Xumi Buddha Department.
Saha Xiaoxitian.
The former is the state religion of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and the head of the department, Vimalakirti, is known as the Buddha of Ten Thousand Families in the north.
The Buddha Department is also called the Tathagata Department. It has always been praised as the first of the five departments of Xumi Vajra Realm. There are many masters among them, and they have been operating in the world of the two Jin dynasties for many years.
Although this world has not yet surged with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, there is abundant spiritual energy in Xumi.
The Xumi Buddha Department was of great importance in the Northern Jin Dynasty, and the number of believers was incalculable.
This provided a large population base for Xumi.
It was rumored that there would be large-scale pilgrimages every certain period of time.
Although the Vajra Temple in this world was also located in the Western Regions, it was already one of the largest holy places in the world.
It was called one of the holy places because there was another one opposite to it.
The largest holy place of Buddhism in the Southern Jin Dynasty, Xiao Xitian.
Lei Jun had heard Zhou Pu and Xu Yuanzhen mention this name earlier.
In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there was also a Xiao Xitian, which was the entrance to the Saha World in the world, and it was also the first holy place of Buddhism in that world.
The arrangement of Saha in this regard, as far as we know, is different from the five departments of Xumi Vajra Realm.
Their representatives in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasties were all called Xiao Xitian, but they were each in charge of different Buddhist masters.
The abbot of Xiao Xitian in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was a high monk who had practiced the Nine Heavens Perfection in the Buddhist Zen and Martial Arts lineage.
The abbot of the Southern Jin Dynasty, Baoneng, who presided over the Xiaoxitian Temple, was a high monk who vowed to cultivate to the perfection of the Nine Heavens.
He and Vimalakirti, the leader of the Sumeru Buddha Department in the north, were known as the two great saints in the world, and they were also the two top masters standing at the top of the world in the two Jin Dynasties.
In terms of personal influence, they were not inferior to the emperors of the Southern and Northern Jin Dynasties.
In terms of cultivation strength, the two monks were even better.
In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there was no inheritance of Tianlong Temple and Xuantian Temple. Other Buddhist holy places such as Liuli Zen Temple and Putuo Temple derived from Xiaoxitian were called Bodhi Temple in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
These holy places actively participated in the world in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and intervened in the rise and fall of various countries and dynasties, while Xiaoxitian was relatively detached.
In the two Jin Dynasties, the three lineages of Tianlong Temple, Bodhi Temple, and Xuantian Temple were all there.
However, they had all moved south and all set up camp and rooted in the territory of the Southern Jin Dynasty to redevelop.
At the same time, they were closely united around the Xiaoxitian Temple in the Southern Jin Dynasty.
Like the Sumeru Buddhist sect in the north, Buddhism also flourished in the Southern Jin Dynasty.
There were many believers and even monks in various places. In terms of numbers alone, the number of believers in the north and south combined was more than the total number of people in the Tang Dynasty, the current Han Dynasty, the old Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty.
There were countless monasteries, temples, pagodas, and nunneries of different styles, scattered all over the country.
Stone Buddha carvings and golden statues were everywhere.
It was just that the northern and southern Buddhist sects were tit-for-tat and regarded each other as their number one enemy.
There were actually many masters of the Nine Heavens in the world of the Two Jin Dynasties, but most of them came from Sumeru and Saha.
Needless to say, the Sumeru Buddhist sect had many masters under its leader, Vimalakirti.
Saha Xiaoxitian itself was not large in scale and had few disciples, but the abbots of the three temples of Bodhi, Tianlong, and Xuantian in the Southern Jin Dynasty were all sent by Saha.
Because of the Saha world, the three major Buddhist holy places in the world all have Buddhist masters of the Ninth Heaven Dharmakaya realm sitting in charge, and actively participate in the world, influence the Southern Jin Dynasty, and fight against the Sumeru Buddhists in the north.
Like the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Southern Jin Dynasty Xiao Xitian itself is also in a transcendent position.
Abbot Baoneng is a real imperial teacher.
Compared with the Xiao Xitian and the Buddhist department from Saha and Xumi, the local forces in this world seem quiet.
Strictly speaking, there are only four local Nine Heaven masters in the world of the Two Jin Dynasties.
In addition to the emperors of the two dynasties, there is a Taoist Mahayana master and a great scholar who pacifies the world.
The Taoist master is the current head of the Shushan School of the Southern Jin Dynasty, Shen Xi.
The great scholar who pacifies the world is the current head of the Xiao clan in Longwai, Northern Jin, Xiao Chan.
There are only five of the Five Surnames and Seven Families in the world of the Two Jin Dynasties, which can be called the Four Surnames and Five Families.
Because of the various upheavals in the Great Jin Dynasty and the tug-of-war between the Northern and Southern Jin Dynasties, the Fang Clan of Jingxiang and the Ye Clan of Qingzhou all disappeared in the long river of history.
However, with the remaining Youzhou Lin Clan, Jinzhou Ye Clan, Longwai Xiao Clan, Suzhou Chu Clan and Jiangzhou Lin Clan as the leaders, other second-class families still formed a stable and huge network in this world, becoming the cornerstone of the Two Jin Dynasties, but the aggressive attitude of Buddhism also made them feel pressured.
Whether it is Southern Jin or Northern Jin, in this world, the famous families are in harmony with the royal family.
If the complete Great Jin Dynasty is still there, the local forces in this world will unite together, or they can stand together with the Saha Little Western Heaven and the Xumi Buddha Department.
But unfortunately, the confrontation between the Northern and Southern Jin Dynasties is inherently insufficient.
Even if they want to unite, bridge the past rifts and differences, and determine the ownership of the world, it is definitely not something that can be achieved in a short period of time.
When Saha and Xumi come, no one in the divided Northern and Southern Jin Dynasties can fight against one alone.
The final result is that Buddhism flourished in this world.
Fortunately, the two major Buddhist forces were also at loggerheads with each other.
In this way, although the local forces in the world were facing a fierce dragon crossing the river, they still had room to maneuver.
Unfortunately, the Taoist talisman school's holy land Longhu Mountain had long disappeared.
However, Shushan School and Chunyang Palace still exist.
However, Chunyang Palace is currently in the north and is suppressed by the Xumi Buddha Department, and its situation is also quite bad.
The situation of Shushan School in Bashu is slightly better, but Buddhism under the influence of Saha is also popular in Shu.
Although Shushan School has Shen Xi, a high-level Mahayana master of the Ninth Heaven, it often acts low-key.
Of course, Lei Jun already knows that this person is the Eastern Green Emperor of the Taoist Kingdom in the world after he entered Penglai by chance.
Others don't know the inside story, but the Buddhist master in Saha must know it.
Through the human world of the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms and this Jin Dynasty, Lei Jun now knows that the one in the Saha world is called Pu Guang Zun.
According to ancient records, the other party should be a senior ancestor in the history of Tianlong Temple who has cultivated a golden body of Buddhism.
It seems that he successfully avoided the catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty and survived to this day by relying on the Saha world.
But the other party’s current situation may be quite inappropriate.
Not to mention setting foot in the mortal world, he has always been avoiding leaving the Saha world.
Including Penglai, one of the nine heavens and ten earths, Pu Guang Zun entered it in the form of Central Yellow Emperor Yan Keji.
But now in the Jin Dynasty, there is no news that Xiao Xitian revealed the secret of Shen Xi as the Eastern Green Emperor of the Taoist Kingdom of the Human World.
Lei Jun couldn’t help but guess at this moment that Shen Xi was not among them when he swept Penglai.
Later, he may have noticed that Penglai had changed and could no longer enter, but he might not know the details of what happened.
But Shen Xi has a way to know the details of Central Yellow Emperor Yan Keji?
Lei Jun is interested in going to Bashu.
But the news from Bashu recently said that Shen Xi was not at the gate of the Shushan Sect in the Southern Jin Dynasty, but had left the mountain and traveled far away.
However, in the people of the two Jin Dynasties, Lei Jun did confirm a piece of news.
Taiyi Huashang, one of the six founding treasures of the Shushan Sect, is one of the magic treasures of the Shushan Sect in the Southern Jin Dynasty.
Lei Jun was not interested in the magic treasures of Shushan, he only cared about Shen Xi himself, but unfortunately, the current disciples of the Shushan Sect in the Southern Jin Dynasty did not know where the leader was traveling.
There were many rumors heard in the people of the two Jin Dynasties, and the leader of the Shushan Sect in the Southern Jin Dynasty was also a legendary figure.
Shen Xi was actually very young, and now he was only over a hundred years old.
Referring to the current spiritual environment in the people of the two Jin Dynasties and the external pressure brought by the two major Buddhist sects, he reached the ninth heaven realm at a young age, which caused quite a stir at the time.
When he took over the Shushan Sect in the Southern Jin Dynasty, Shushan was in a great disaster, with heavy casualties and a deserted sect.
Until now, the Shushan Sect of the Southern Jin Dynasty has not been prosperous, and there are even harsh rumors that call it a holy place for one person.
In recent years, there are rumors that this headmaster Shen has entered the capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty, Jianye, more and more times, and has been appreciated by the Southern Jin Emperor.
But along with it, there are rumors that Shen Xi is just below the two great saints of the north and south, and the best master in the world, and even above the emperors of the two dynasties.
Even if his cultivation level is not as high as the realm of the Xiaoxiaoyao Sanxian who has perfected the Five Qis, it is not far away.
Lei Jun guessed that the news is more likely to come from the Saha Xiaoxitian.
Not revealing Shen Xi's relationship with Penglai, but pointing out his true cultivation strength, so that he can no longer hide it.
I think it is because Shen Xi has been interacting more and more with the Southern Jin Emperor in recent years.
Perhaps there are other considerations?
Worried about giving the Northern Dynasty and the Xumi Buddha Department an opportunity to take advantage of it?
Seeing this, Lei Jun also did not make a big fuss.
For a while, he could not find Shen Xi's trace, so he did not worry too much.
The primary goal of this trip to the Jin Dynasty was the Yuqing Miro Cave Heaven.
This cave heaven was no longer at the original site of the mountain gate.
Lei Jun hid his tracks and secretly searched for it.
Facing Xinzhou across the Poyang Lake, the Jiangzhou Lin Clan of the Southern Jin Dynasty was also in a state of turmoil.
Being in the same world, at this distance, the correspondence between the Jiangzhou Lin Clan was almost secret to Lei Jun.
Although the visitor and the owner of this place communicated verbally, the visitor was only a representative.
The exchanges of opinions between the Jiangzhou Lin Clan of the Southern Jin Dynasty and the real leaders of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan of the Han Dynasty still relied on written communication.
The news of the same clan visitors from the other world was limited to a very small range, but it still caused a storm in this small range.
For Lin Xiaoyi and others from the Jiangzhou Lin Clan of the Han Dynasty, the newly discovered Jiangzhou Lin Clan of the Southern Jin Dynasty brought both good and bad news.
The bad news is that the power of the famous families here is not strong. Compared with the current Han people with surging spiritual energy, there is a lack of top masters.
The good news is that, because of this, the Jiangzhou Lin family of the Southern Jin Dynasty and even other famous families are also eager for support. The cooperation between the two sides has fewer concerns and selfishness.
It’s a pity that although there is no Saha Buddhist power in the current Han people, the Xumi Buddha Department and the Treasure Department have little cooperation, but they may communicate with each other.
The Jiangzhou Lin family of the Great Han Dynasty and the Jiangzhou Lin family of the Southern Jin Dynasty are facing the same behemoth together.
Even if the court of the Great Han Dynasty and the courts of the Southern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Jin Dynasty are not considered, the communication between the famous families should still be kept low-key and secret, and it should be done slowly.
Lei Jun did not interfere with the actions of the several families to gather together for warmth. He just collected information calmly and watched coldly.
Speaking of which, Lei Jun heard a slightly unexpected news from the Jiangzhou Lin family of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
They had previously confirmed that there were other human worlds outside the human world of the Two Jin Dynasties.
The reason was that they had come into contact with fellow tribesmen from other human worlds who accidentally came here in their early years.
His name was Lin Zhan.
The name was already a little unfamiliar, but Lei Jun recalled it and remembered that it was clearly someone from the same human world as him.
An elder of the Lin clan of Jiangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, who was the uncle of Lin Che, Lin Yuwei and others in terms of seniority.
When Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang conquered the ancestral land of the Lin clan of Jiangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, they were curious about the absence of the two elders Lin Jian and Lin Zhan.
Later, they learned that the two elderly people had gone out to find opportunities to fight aging and maintain their health.
The former was trapped in a foreign void related to the ancient Song Dynasty human world, and later implicated another elder of the Jiangzhou Lin clan, Lin Jinsong, who was looking for him.
And there was no news about Lin Zhan.
Unexpectedly, he accidentally entered the human world of the Two Jin Dynasties.
But according to the Lin clan of Jiangzhou in the Southern Jin Dynasty, Lin Zhan had died accidentally in a previous war between the North and the South.
Lei Jun didn't care about the life and death of this Lin clan elder.
What he was interested in was that Lin Zhan seemed to have come directly from the Tang Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty.
Although it was a coincidence, it meant that there was a possibility that the two worlds could directly establish a void portal.
In that case, it would be much more convenient for them to travel between each other.
Lei Jun was thoughtful.
No matter which side of the Jiangzhou Lin clan, they would regard the lineage of the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion of the Tang Dynasty, which had broken through the famous families of the Tang Dynasty and the five great families of Datong, as a great enemy.
During the exchange of opinions between the two sides, the Longhu Mountain lineage had to be mentioned.
The existence of Yuqing Miro Cave Heaven was mentioned in the correspondence of the Jiangzhou Lin clan in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and it was mentioned that this cave heaven was briefly controlled by the Jin Dynasty royal family after the demise of the Longhu Mountain lineage of the Jin Dynasty.
But with the successive turmoil of the Jin Dynasty itself, the royal family eventually lost Yuqing Miro Cave Heaven. It has been many years since then, and there has been no other news.
Lei Jun frowned slightly when he heard the news.
Because he had been searching for Yuqing Miro Cave Heaven according to his methods these days, but he still couldn't get any further clues about it.
This was quite unusual for him now.
If Yuqing Miro Cave Heaven had not been separated from this world, then it was controlled by someone else, and the other party's cultivation was not low.
"There are still too few clues." Lei Jun shook his head slightly.
He considered going to Jianye, the capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
When the Jin Dynasty royal family controlled Yuqing Miro Cave Heaven, some clues might have been preserved, but the Great Jin Dynasty had already split up, so Lei Jun could only try his luck and go to the Southern Jin capital first, and then consider the Northern Jin capital.
Lei Jun's figure was like the wind, and in a blink of an eye he crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and headed for Jianye.
Although the Southern Jin Dynasty was in a state of decline, after all, it was an emperor of the Ninth Heaven Realm sitting in the capital, and it was extraordinary in all aspects.
So Lei Jun further restrained himself.
After using other methods to seal the Amitabha Peacock Throne in the Wanfa Sect Altar of his own mountain gate, Lei Jun can use his Taiqing Eight Scenery Treasure Straw again.
Under the rain and fog of the straw raincoat, Lei Jun seemed to have disappeared even to most of the Nine Heavens cultivators.
He calmly walked into Jianye, the capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
…………………
The contemporary head of the Southern Jin Shushan Sect, the Eastern Green Emperor of Penglai, Shen Xi, is currently in an extremely desolate place.
He is now on the snowy plateau.
The vast sky and earth are empty and boundless.
Shen Xi came to a barren mountain and went deep into it.
In the belly of the mountain, it seems that there is another world, hiding a small blessed land.
The spiritual veins here are ordinary, and it can reach its current scale because of Shen Xi's years of serious management.
In the blessed land, several Shushan sect monks who were supposed to have died in the North-South War were delighted to see Shen Xi coming: "Master Brother!"
Shen Xi nodded slightly, put down some of his belongings, and handed them to the fellow disciples who were gathered around him: "Where is my master?"
Someone hurriedly answered: "Master Uncle is at the cold and hot fire spring."
Shen Xi stopped: "Is it earlier than before?"
The other party looked a little solemn and said softly: "Yes, I stay longer every day."
Shen Xi nodded without saying anything, and walked forward again, while others stopped.
He went down all the way to the deepest part of the blessed land.
Here, the ten thousand years of ice and the surging earth fire intertwined, forming a strange phenomenon of yin and yang, cold and heat coexisting.
A slightly hunched figure was floating in it. It was not a real human body, but a human form condensed by the soul.
A Taoist priest who was dressed in cloth and hemp shoes like Shen Xi looked about sixty years old.
Shen Xi came up to him and bowed respectfully: "Master."
The old Taoist priest was Gongsun Daoqi, the former head of the Shushan School of the Southern Jin Dynasty, who was rumored to have passed away many years ago.
He smiled at Shen Xi and said, "I just came here not long ago. You came here again so soon today. Is there something urgent?"
Shen Xi shook his head and said, "Nothing special. I just care about your condition, Master."
The old Taoist priest said calmly, "Don't worry about it. Although there are some ups and downs now, the fact that I can survive until now has already stolen the secrets of heaven."
Shen Xi was silent after hearing this.
Gongsun Daoqi said, "If I hadn't received your talisman, I would have died fifty or sixty years ago. We can still talk here now, thanks to the Taoist friends of the talisman sect."
Shen Xi shook his head: "As of this year, your life span is less than five hundred years, and you should have lived for more than three hundred years."
Gongsun Daoqi himself was very open-minded, and smiled and said, "It is natural that my teacher suffered such injuries and lost his life span and aged prematurely. This is fate, and we should not be obsessed with it.
But you accidentally discovered Penglai at the beginning, and borrowed the methods of the Heavenly Palace and talismans to help me save my life and prolong my life. It can be said that there is always a way out.
Now that changes have occurred, we should just let it go."
Shen Xi closed his eyes gently.
Penglai, he can't enter it now.
But according to common sense, as long as he, the Eastern Green Emperor, is still alive, Gongsun Daoqi who received his talisman should be able to maintain his former peak cultivation state until the full eight hundred years of life of the eighth heaven cultivator is about to end, and then he will decline rapidly.
But Gongsun Daoqi's condition has been somewhat unstable in the past two years.
Fortunately, the environment of this blessed land can help from outside.
So Shen Xi hurriedly asked Master Gongsun Daoqi to move here.
There must be an unexpected change in Penglai.
Shen Xi has heard a little bit now.
Has the Longhushan Heavenly Master in the Tang Dynasty become the new master of Penglai?
It seems that he cleaned up the ruins of the Heavenly Palace in Penglai, which caused this change.
Shen Xi is now seeking to enter Penglai again, or go to the Tang Dynasty, but he does not plan to speak directly with his master at the moment.
The result of this trip is unpredictable.
At the same time, the Shushan School in the Jin Dynasty is sandwiched between the northern and southern Buddhist sects, and he needs to be careful at any time.
Whether it is the master and apprentice, or the Southern Jin Shushan School, it is not easy to support it until today.
Once, Penglai was an opportunity.
Now, every step to come must be more cautious.
"The reason why I am still alive is that I am trying to do my best to expand and continue the tradition of our sect."
Gongsun Daoqi's immortal soul flew out of the ice and fire and came to his disciple: "If the heaven takes back this opportunity, it is also a disaster that is destined. But you..."
Shen Xi looked up.
Gongsun Daoqi: "Not only are you born with the immortal body of Zhouguang, but your comprehension and talent are also extraordinary. You are better than me in all aspects. You have been in charge of our sect for many years and have worked hard. Now it seems that you are doing very well, much better than me. Therefore, no matter when, you should take care of yourself first."
The old Taoist smiled: "Although it is a holy place for one person, as long as you are here, our sect will not fall to the bottom again."
Shen Xi: "Disciple will remember the master's teachings."
……………………
Lei Jun came out of Jianye, the capital of Southern Jin, and felt sorry that he did not find any clues about Yuqing Miro Cave Heaven here.
On the contrary, the Saha Buddhism is indeed powerful here, and has developed further, even overwhelming Confucianism to become the first prominent school.
The iconic event is that the prince who practiced Buddhism with his hair uncut was made the crown prince by the Southern Jin Emperor, practicing the art of the emperor, and carrying the fate of the country with him.
Because of the lack of mountains and rivers, the emperor's art of the emperor of the north and south emperors is sparse, and it can be said that it is better than nothing for the crown princes of the north and south.
But the impact of this incident is still significant, causing an uproar within the Southern Jin Dynasty, and has been the core event of the Southern Jin Dynasty in recent years.
There is no precedent in history.
The current kings or crown princes who practiced the art of the emperor in all previous dynasties have never been among the Confucianists or the martial artists.
It is the first time that a Buddhist monk has turned to the art of the emperor.
...Well, next door, there is a Han emperor who practices the Wumen Daotong.
Lei Jun shook his head slightly, focusing on his own affairs, and preparing to try his luck in the capital of the Northern Jin Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave Jianye, a ball of light suddenly flashed in his mind, and then words appeared:
[North and South Bodhi, a thousand miles of flying rainbow. ]
Then three fortunes appeared:
[Middle fortune, tomorrow at 3:00 pm, go to the northern foot of Yunzhou Mountain, a thousand miles south of Jianye, the capital of Southern Jin, and have a chance to get a third-grade opportunity. There is no risk at present, but there may be hidden troubles. If you handle it properly, you will have no worries. Good luck. ]
[Middle fortune, before 3:00 pm tomorrow, arrive at Bodhi Temple, four hundred miles west of Jianye, the capital of Southern Jin, and have a chance to get a fifth-grade opportunity. There will be a little wind and waves, and there may be hidden troubles. You should handle it with caution. It's flat. ]
[Middle fortune, do not go to Bodhi Temple and Yunzhou Mountain, no extra gains or losses, flat. ]
