Southern Continent, Great Tang Kingdom, Shu County.

The six Meishan brothers followed behind Erlang Shen, quietly looking at his majestic back.

Howling Sky Dog stood on the left side of Erlang Shen, looking up at his master from time to time.

"Recently, calls for the destruction of Buddhism have been growing louder throughout the Tang Dynasty court," said General Kang, the leader of the six Meishan brothers. "Second Master, this incident won't affect us, will it?"

Yao Taiwei, who was standing by, said, "What does the destruction of Buddhism have to do with us?"

Taiwei Kang said, "The Daoists were behind the Tang Dynasty's suppression of Buddhism."

General Yao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Does the Daoist sect intend to emulate the Heavenly Court and drive the Buddhist sect out of the Southern Continent?"

Taiwei Kang shook his head and said, "Although it won't be that serious, at least the Buddhist sects in the Tang Dynasty will definitely not have an easy time."

"So what does this have to do with us?" Li Taiwei asked. "We are from the Celestial Court, not Buddhism or Taoism."

Commander Kang said, "Then why did the Sandalwood Merit Buddha come to the Erlang Temple yesterday?"

General Yao's expression hardened as he turned to General Kang and asked, "Are you saying...the Buddhist sect wants to deflect the blame? Or perhaps they're trying to drag the Erlang Temple into this?"

Taiwei Kang said, "I doubt the Buddhist sect has such an idea. The Grand Envoy has just pacified the Zhenyang Dao Palace in Dongsheng Shenzhou and brought the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou directly under the rule of the Heavenly Court. Neither the Taoist sect nor the Buddhist sect can make any waves in Dongsheng Shenzhou."

"So, Buddhism and Taoism are going to compete for luck in the Southern Continent?" said Li Taiwei.

General Kang nodded and said, "Indeed, Jambu Continent has always had a complex religious tradition, with Celestial Court, Buddhism, Taoism, and even numerous smaller sects. Furthermore, Jambu Continent is the most prosperous continent for the human race, so no single sect can dominate. However, if Taoism can drive Buddhism out of the Tang Empire, it will gain at least a thousand years to establish its presence and spread its teachings."

A thousand years is very short for gods, but it is just a blink of an eye for Buddhism and Taoism.

However, the time of one thousand years is very critical. If Taoism can gain the faith of the human race in the land of Datang during this thousand years, it will be extremely beneficial to boosting the fortune of Taoism and weakening the fortune of Buddhism.

"And," Taiwei Kang added, "Buddhism occupies a large part of Xiniuhe Continent, while Taoism is scattered across the four continents, without a single fixed place for its followers to worship. If Taoism can dominate Buddhism in Jambudvīpa, it can slowly establish a presence and spread its teachings, turning Jambudvīpa into its own private territory."

Yao Taiwei murmured, "Could this be the reason why no great Taoist masters above the rank of Taiyi Jinxian stepped forward during the chaos in Dongsheng Shenzhou?"

"They were planning to establish their plans in the Southern Continent, so they gave up the Eastern Continent. On the one hand, it was also to show goodwill to the Heavenly Court," said General Kang.

Li Taiwei said, "No wonder in the past few months, great Taoist Taiyi Golden Immortals have appeared in the Tang Dynasty and come to the world to teach the Tao."

As soon as Li Taiwei finished speaking, Erlang Shen, who had been silent the whole time, asked, "Which Taoist Taiyi Golden Immortals have appeared in the Tang Dynasty recently?"

Li Taiwei immediately said, "Second Master, I know of five of them: Master Tongxuan Xin Jiran, Master Chongxu Liezi Yukou, Master Dongling Kangsangzi, Master Zixu Yuanjun Wei Huacun, and Master Xiyi Chen Tuan."

As soon as Li Taiwei finished speaking, three of the six Meishan brothers present gasped in surprise.

Commander Kang was even more surprised and said, "These people are all pillars of Taoism."

All five of these aforementioned Taiyi Xuanxian (Taiyi Xuanxian) achieved immortality through establishing and preaching the Dao in the mortal realm. This is particularly true of Wei Huacun, the Purple Void Priestess. Although a woman, she achieved the status of Priest of the Celestial Master Dao while cultivating in the mortal realm. Later, due to her profound Daoist teachings and profound cultivation, she was revered as the first Grandmaster of the Shangqing School of Daoism.

Unlike the Dongsheng Shenzhou Taoist sect where no Taiyi Golden Immortal appeared, this time the Nanzhanbuzhou Taoist sect invested a huge amount of money.

At this point, General Zhang suddenly realized something and said, "So, the rumor is true?"

"What rumors?" asked General Kang.

Zhang Taiwei said, "A few days ago, I heard from a cultivator from the east that Dou Mu Yuanjun appeared in Mount Zhongnan half a month ago and taught the world the 'Jade Purity Supreme Spiritual Treasure Natural North Dipper Original Life True Scripture'. I thought it was just hearsay from the cultivator, but now it seems very likely to be true." cascoo.net

"What?! Dou Mu Yuanjun?" As soon as General Zhang finished speaking, everyone present looked at him in disbelief.

valley

Even Erlang Shen looked at General Zhang in surprise, with deep suspicion in his eyes.

Dou Mu Yuanjun, whose full name is "Zhongtian Fanqi Dou Mu Yuanjun," is one of the Daluo Jinxian of Taoism. The "Zhongtian" in her name has the same meaning as the "Zhongtian" in "Zhongtian Beiji Ziwei Dadi."

In addition to the title of "Zhongtian Fanqi Dou Mu Yuanjun", she also has another title of "Xiantian Dao Mu", and is the mother of all the stars in the Big Dipper. Even the Zhongtian Beiji Ziwei Emperor and the Gou Chen Shanggong Tianhuang Emperor have to call Dou Mu Yuanjun "Mother" when they see her.

This does not mean that Dou Mu Yuanjun gave birth to them, but that Dou Mu Yuanjun is innately sacred. From the moment she was born, she represented that the destiny of the stars in the Big Dipper was determined under the way of heaven.

If it was not 'Dou Mu Yuan Jun' who appeared at that time, but some other 'Ling Mu Yuan Jun', then there would be no 'Bei Dou' now, but 'Bei Ling'.

To explain it in Earth's terms, Dou Mu Yuan Jun is the 'mother concept' of the Big Dipper, while the Big Dipper stars are the 'child concepts'.

Without the concept of mother, the concept of child naturally does not exist either. Therefore, in terms of generation, Dou Mu Yuanjun is the mother of the Beidou sequence. Zhongtian Beiji Ziwei Dadi and Gou Chen Shanggong Tianhuang Dadi are two of the Four Heavenly Emperors who rule the celestial sphere and are also deities belonging to the Beidou sequence.
