Chapter 1505

In Langya pass, after a detailed discussion with Cao Yin, Chu Xun and others finally figured out the origin of the war.

In fact, the cause of things can be simply summed up in four words, that is, "the fight between Buddhism and Taoism"!

Although the cultivation civilization is full of flowers and various heritages emerge in endlessly, it is the four most prosperous channels of Buddhism, Taoism, demons and Demons after all.

It's needless to mention that Buddhism began to rise after the Fengshen war, and gradually became one of the most powerful and influential in the world.

The Taoist gate was created by the three great celestial beings of Hong and Meng, who were born after Pangu's fall. It is the oldest and once most powerful force in the world, and almost dominates the whole Hongmeng continent.

However, in the Hongmeng period, due to the fierce battle between the three celestial beings and the first demons, although the three celestial beings and the Taoist gate they created won the war, their strength was greatly reduced and they lost the qualification to control the world.

As for the devil gate, it is actually different from those demons that Chu Xun and others have seen. The so-called magic gate is actually a powerful inheritance created by the original demons. The magic gate inherits the mystery and is powerful. It can be changed into various kinds of extraterritorial demons from deep cultivation. It is invisible and has no quality, but it can attack people directly. It is extremely powerful and difficult to deal with.

However, since the first day when the demons were suppressed by the three great masters of Taoism, the demons' lineage has changed from light to dark, and they are no longer in the world. Although there are still many descendants of the demons in the world, they are quite different from the grand occasion of the Hongmeng period.

It is also because of the war between daomen and Mormon that the most powerful daomen Mormon withdrew from the historical stage, so there will be the rise of witch gate and demon clan, and the last witch war!

As the saying goes, where there are people, there will be fights, there will be rivers and lakes. This is true even in the whole world.

Just like the battle between Taoism and Demons and the battle of lich, this time, the war that the Tang Dynasty faced was caused by the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism.

Although the power of daomen was greatly reduced by the fight between Daoists and demons in the early days of Hongmeng, the so-called thin camel was bigger than the horse, and the strength of daomen could not be underestimated no matter how much it was reduced. In addition to the hundreds of millions of years of recuperation, the Tianting, which represents daomen, became more and more powerful, becoming the biggest overlord of the world. It not only controlled Dongsheng Shenzhou, but also the south Zhanbuzhou is also the preaching place of Taoism. At the beginning, the state religions of Tang Dynasty and other countries were all Taoism.

But on the other hand, the strength of Buddhism is also constantly improving. It not only completely controls xiniuhe Prefecture, but also penetrates its power into the southern part of the continent. In the southern part of the continent, many holy mountains of Buddhism have been established to promote Buddhism, and the Mount Putuo is one of them!

In this way, there is a great conflict of interest between Buddhism and Taoism in this southern part of China!

Don't look down on the southern part of the continent, which is the largest and most populous continent in the world, or even just a small country, whose population can reach hundreds of millions or even billions, while the population of such a big country as the Tang Dynasty has reached hundreds of millions, which is difficult to measure.

This huge population base can not only provide countless believers for Taoism and Buddhism, but also the world's outstanding people, people's natural talent for cultivation is not bad. In addition to all kinds of adventures and all kinds of natural materials and treasures, there will always be an endless number of strong people in this huge population base. Once these strong people join in Buddhism and Taoism, they will make Buddhism and Taoism more powerful.

Therefore, what Buddhism and Taoism are fighting for in this southern part of the continent is actually the believers and the new force in the future!

At the beginning, because the power of Taoism was too large, and it was also the state religion of countries in southern part of China, it was very difficult for Buddhism to preach among these countries.

However, later, due to the fact that Jin chanzi, the disciple of Buddhist monk Shakyamuni, was born in the Middle Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty, and had a friendship with the leader of the Tang Dynasty, then he met with the king of the demon king at an opportunity to contact the Huaguo Mountain, the Dragon Palace of the Qinglong family, marshal Tianpeng, who was once in charge of the Tianhe forbidden army of the Tianting, and those who were familiar with the inner affairs of the Tianting General rolling curtain, go to the Buddhism together to obtain the three treasures of Mahayana Buddhism and return to the Tang Dynasty, which opens a new situation for the Buddhism!

It's strange and puzzling that in this process, the Tianting, which represents the whole family of Taoism, seems to be under some kind of constraint. It didn't stop it personally, but secretly sent all the powerful people with all kinds of powerful magic weapons to snipe the team. However, the strength of the team is very strong, and there is hidden Buddhist help, so they finally succeed in the Mahayana sutra and return to the Tang Dynasty.

After that, Buddhism began to rise in the Tang Dynasty, and gradually had the potential to stand side by side with Taoism. At the same time, as a sweet cake sandwiched between Buddhism and Taoism, the Tang Dynasty also rose rapidly, pacifying countless countries around at one stroke, making the Tang Dynasty quickly become the largest human country in the southern continent!

This is the information that Zhou Yulong knew before the fall and reincarnation.

However, during the period before Zhou Yulong's fall, although Buddhism and Taoism fought openly and secretly in the Tang Dynasty to publicize the orthodoxy, they kept a certain degree of restraint, basically did not turn this struggle to the surface.

And this fragile balance was finally broken in the hundreds of years after Zhou Yulong's death!

It's surprising that it's not Buddhism or Taoism that breaks the balance, but Tang Wuzong and Li Yan, the new monarch of the Tang Dynasty!

In order to avoid the great influence of the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, even threatening the rule of Taoism and Buddhism, Taoism and Buddhism made an agreement. Although the monarch of the Tang Dynasty can enjoy all the pleasures in the world, no disease and no disaster, he can not practice, and his life can only be 500 years. Once five hundred years have come, they will enter the earth to reincarnate and transfer the throne of the Lord to their descendants.

According to the past practice, the new leader of the Tang Dynasty will remain neutral as a puppet after he succeeds the throne, and sit and watch the Buddhist and Taoist schools preach and compete for believers in his own country. But somehow, after Li Yan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, succeeded, he did something that no one thought of.

That is to kill the Buddha!

In the 200th year of Tang Wuzong's succession, Tang Wuzong suddenly issued an order to promote Taoism and suppress Buddhism, and began to suppress Buddhism in the whole territory of the Tang Dynasty, and encouraged the expansion of the power of Taoism. Although Tang Wuzong was only a mortal, he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty after all. Under his command, the power of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty was greatly suppressed, while the power of Taoism was rising and becoming larger.

Finally, after hundreds of years of turmoil, the power of Buddhism was completely expelled from the Tang Dynasty, which once again became the dominant place of Taoism. At the same time, people also finally know the reason why Tang Wuzong destroyed Buddhism!

Because the life span of Li Yan, Emperor Wuzong of Tang Dynasty, has exceeded 500!

He can practice, and he is a man of practice!

Obviously, this is an agreement between daomen and tangwuzong. As long as tangwuzong helps daomen defeat Buddhism, daomen will allow tangwuzong to practice, have stronger strength, have longer life, and enjoy a longer position of king!

It's obvious that what daomen did this time was not authentic, so it finally enraged the Buddha. Although due to various checks and balances and scruples, it is impossible for Buddhism and Taoism to fight in an all-round way, or even maintain harmony and unity on the surface, this does not mean that they will not make other reactions.

Therefore, just after the Buddhism was completely expelled from the Tang Dynasty, the Buddhism simply took the initiative in person, just like the Taoism to support the Tang Dynasty, and chose a country that believes in Buddhism from the southern part of the continent to give strong support.

With the strong support of Buddhism, the country known as "Tianzhu country" began to rise at a very fast speed, just like the Tang Dynasty, and annexed many small countries around it, becoming more and more powerful.

However, after annexing all the neighboring small countries, this country was not as large as that of the Tang Dynasty, but it also had some resistance. Therefore, since then, the conflict between Tianzhu and Tang has become more and more fierce. Even like today's Langya pass war, there have been fierce local wars.

In this conflict, the Tang and the Tianzhu countries also suffered from each other's death and injury, so their grudges became deeper and deeper. No one knows when the two largest human countries in the southern part of the continent will start a fierce war!
