Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 591: Heaven

world!

All over the world?

Under the whole world, is it the king's land; is it the king's ministers along the coast of the land?

Zhao Wuxi's ambition was too great, Nanzi couldn't help hearing it, and after a while, only his eyes were full of admiration. [Latest chapter read..] From the first time the two met, Zhao Wuxi had a plain appearance and was not handsome, but only this majestic aura that looked down on the world was unparalleled. What he wants to achieve is the matter of Qi Huan and Jinwen, but the cause of Cheng Tang and King Wu!

A man in this world who can achieve such a great cause, I am afraid he is the only one?

Nanzi bowed respectfully and said, "A gentleman has great ambitions, Nanzi would like to do his best to help him!"

Zhao Wuxi helped her up: "If you can help me, in this matter, only you can help me!"

The feeling of being trusted, being carried, and being led to a great cause came to my mind, and it was more comfortable than the joy of the body. For a moment, Nanzi could not wait to die for the man in front of him.

But Zhao Wuxi had other thoughts.

This is the Spring and Autumn Period in the fifth century BC, not the period of Qin Sweeping three hundred years later. The land of Kyushu has not yet ushered in the contention of a hundred schools of thought, the enlightenment era when the gods came to an end has not nourished China, and people have not been ruthless by the outright atheism of the Legalists. To wash away the three views, even the more moderate Confucian "respect ghosts and gods and stay far away" is only accepted by the upper-level intellectuals.

Therefore, the enemies that Zhao Wuxi will face are not only those powerful state regimes, but also the gods firmly rooted in their land and trusted by the people, especially in the countries of Qi, Chu, Wuyue... …

At the same time of political unity, if religious unity can be achieved at the same time...

Perhaps the tragedy of the death of the Second World will not be staged in the next Great Unification Dynasty!

Wu Xie whispered to Nanzi in his ear: "With the spear of the enemy and the shield of the enemy, the religion I want is a religion that is based in the Song Dynasty, but can accommodate the official beliefs of the kingdom of heaven and the folk ghosts and gods!"

...

"Although the beliefs of the princes in the world seem to be complicated and very different, if you look closely, you will find that they all have something in common, Nanzi, can you see it?"

"If we talk about commonality, it should be based on the worship of the gods and ancestors, with the worship of society, the sun, the moon, mountains and rivers as the wings. It should be supplemented by the worship of other rivers, ghosts and gods..."

Zhao Wuxi said: "Yes, Nanzi, let me ask you again, is there one **** in this world? Or are there many gods?"

"There are nearly a hundred gods in Chu land alone, of course there are many gods..." Seeing the smile on Zhao Wuxi's lips, a slyness flashed in Nanzi's eyes. He quickly covered his mouth and said, "Did the concubine make a mistake again? Could there be only one **** in this world?"

Zhao Wuxi did not answer.

In the world, the traditional nature worship is a kind of polytheism, which recognizes and worships multiple gods. The beliefs of the nations mentioned by Nanzi are polytheism.

However, after entering the Axial Age, monotheism began to appear, which regarded "God" as the only creator of the world, and as a benevolent divine perfection who managed and controlled human activities.

However, Zhao Wuxi did not intend to continue the low competitiveness, the sects were too numerous to form a polytheism of centripetal force. Nor does it intend to attempt monotheism that conflicts with the spiritual world of the pre-Qin Chinese.

The new religion in his mind is a native religion rooted in Chinese soil. As for her theoretical basis...

"Nanzi, you have to remember that there are not many gods, nor one, I call it pantheism..."

"Pantheism?" Nan Zi got a good stack of rattan paper and recorded it carefully. She had long been accustomed to the various unfamiliar words that came out of Zhao Wuxi's mouth.

A gentleman must be a prophet! She had already preached this for Zhao Wuxian among the nobles of the Song Dynasty, so as to maintain their gratitude, reverence, and fear for Zhao Wuxian.

Wu Xie explained: "Pantheism means, the so-called God. In fact, it is the noumenon of all things. There is only one permanent and unchanging, self-existing, absolutely eternal essence in the universe. The finite thing comes from the infinite. It is not due to Creation. To use an analogy, it is like what Lao Tzu said, Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. Tao is the supreme god. Yin people call it emperor, Zhou people call it heaven, and we will call it for the time being. For the sake of heaven..."

"The way of heaven..."

This is not a word created by Zhao Wuxi, but it has already existed. It is a description of the order of heaven and earth. "Easy Qian": "Qian prosperous, the heaven is full and bright." "Book Tang Gao": "Heaven is blessed Good misfortune y, bring disaster to summer". Zichan said: "The way of heaven is far away, and the way of human beings is narrow."

Nanzi pondered the word carefully and felt a kind of eternity and expanse.

Zhao Wuxi continued: "The way of heaven is permanent, it does not exist for Yao, nor does it die for Jie, this is the essence of eternity and immortality. After the creation of all things, the way of heaven may be transformed into entities, such as the earth, mountains, rivers, beasts, Humans...or become a spiritual will that surpasses all living beings, sublimating above the mortal world, watching all living beings."

Nanzi seemed to suddenly realize, "What about the countless gods that the feudal lords believe in? Where did they come from?"

"It was also formed by the way of heaven, but its strength and size are not as high as that of heaven. Therefore, ghosts and gods are neither real nor great, only big and small. They are all unified in the way of heaven.

"So whether it is the Eight God Lords of the Qi people, or the Eastern Emperor Taiyi of the Chu people, Dongjun, Yunzhongjun, and Siming, they are all just a form of the way of heaven. , is the product of mortals who have made great contributions to heaven and earth, and is actually part of the order of heaven."

Nanzi stared at the things he described in surprise: "If it is according to the gentleman's statement, the gods worshiped by these nations, and even all things in the world, are actually coordinated in the way of heaven?"

"Not bad." Zhao Wuxi added: "The way of heaven is all-inclusive and all-encompassing. This is the great unification of the way of heaven."

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the dialects of different regions were very different, and the Central Plains dialect and Wuyue dialect were even two language families; the cultures of various countries began to diverge, and even the fonts and costumes began to differ; The slogan and aspiration of "Yu Yi" are not strong enough either.

In this era, there is indeed a lack of a unified basis at the material level.

But perhaps relying on the "Dao of Heaven" to incorporate the princes and folk gods one by one can speed up the unity of the people in spiritual beliefs.

"Nanzi, this sect to be established by you is called Tiandaoism. There are still many things to do next. First of all, we must solve some ultimate questions that everyone has."

Nanzi asked curiously, "What is the ultimate question?"

"How about I tell you to test you?"

At this time, the sky was just right and the air was fresh, Zhao Wuxi looked at the Temple of Taihao in the bamboo forest and began to chant. This is his favorite poem of Chu in his previous life. It records people's doubts about the way of heaven in this era...

"At the beginning of the ancient times, who preached the preaching? The upper and lower are not in shape, why should they be tested? It is bright and dark. But what is the time?

After reciting half of the obscure "Heavenly Questions", Nanzi was dumbfounded. This is indeed the ultimate question.

At the time of ancient times, who passed this Tao on to future generations?

At that time the world was not yet formed. Where did it come from?

There is no distinction between light and dark, who can explore the reason?

The atmosphere is hazy and nothing, how to recognize and recognize the world?

The day is bright and the night is dark. Who arranged this rule?

y Yang ginseng is combined to produce all things, what is the source and what is the evolution?

Legend has it that there are nine levels in the vast sky, who ever went around and measured it?

With such a huge project, who started to build it?

"Where did heaven and earth come from, and where did human beings come from..."

"How did this world come into being?"

Zhao Wuxi, like the questioner Sphinx, asked with a mysterious smile: "Nanzi. You are a great witch, you must have thought about it. If your followers look up to you and ask these questions, you can tell them. The answer?"

...

After thinking for a long time, Nanzi said softly: "There are many folk sayings about the creation of the world, or it is said that one orifice is pierced in a chaotic day, and the heaven and earth are born by piercing seven orifices; It's daytime. His breath is wind and rain. But my knowledge is shallow, and I can't tell the difference between true and false."

That's right, Zhao Wuxi thought, there was no legend of Pangu's creation in the Spring and Autumn Period. That was something that was not made up by the Han people until the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms.

So, ah, the spiritual world of the Chinese people in this era is pure and terrible, and it is full of seedlings bred locally.

He sneered and said: "Those messy folklore. They are all false stories, all heresy, you will refute them in the future!"

"Nanzi remembered."

Zhao Wuxi preached: "In Tiandaoism, the creation of the world can only be the transformation of the heavenly way. At the beginning of ancient times, when there was no heaven and earth, only the image had no form, the graceful shape, and the heavenly way was transformed into y yang, Li is the eight poles, so there are all things. This is what Laozi said, all things bear y and embrace Yang, and rush to think of harmony..."

Nanzi was dazed by this profound philosophy, and at the same time he vaguely felt that there must be some connection between Zhao Wuxi and Laozi, otherwise why are so many of his thoughts integrated?

The footprints of those mysterious prophets are all over the Kyushu, and almost all the sages in the world have been inspired by him. Could it be that...

She blurted out: "Could it be that the gentleman was a disciple accepted by Lao Tzu when he was traveling? In this theory of Taoism, there is also Lao Tzu's advice?"

Zhao Wuxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled without answering, becoming more and more mysterious. He thought to himself that although he had stolen the word "Dao", it was not a plagiarism of Taoism. Anyway, the Taoism of Han and Jin Dynasties had been changed beyond recognition by the folk witches, and it had long since departed from the original meaning of Lao Zhuang doctrine.

Speaking of Taoism, he remembered something: "By the way, I will give Tian Taoism a sign..."

Under the expectant gaze of Nanzi, Zhao Wuxi reached out into the clear lake water, stirred up a ripple, and startled away the blue and white swimming fish.

With his wet fingers, he drew two opposite fishes on the big stone sitting by the lake. They were intertwined, like all things bear y and embrace the sun, and it was like Fuxi and Nuwa dragon and snake intersect.

So mysterious and incomparably harmonious, it seems to contain the avenues of heaven and earth, the eternal transformation of all things...

After Wu Xie finished painting, he stopped and admired it for a while before introducing: "This is the yyang fish, also known as Tai Chi~lightnovelpub.net~ The dyeing should be black and white, this is the symbol of Tiandaoism."

Nanzi was so fascinated by it that he wanted to make a jade symbol of Tiandaoism and hang it around his neck as soon as he went back, and then build a similar altar in Shangqiu Haoshe and other temples, so that Tiandaoism could spread throughout Song Dynasty. country.

The Prophet's merciless teaching has not yet ended: "Nanzi, you must write such a passage in your teachings, in the future, believers of the Tao of Heaven will see what kind of human head, eagle, what six-pointed star, and even the cross, crescent and other signs. They are heretics! The mission of Tiandao is to defeat, persuade, convert, tolerate, and assimilate them, so that these heretics can be brought back under the order of Tiandao!"

ps: The "Tian Taoism" in the book has nothing to do with the dime from the stick.
