Chapter 674: The Origin of the Human Emperor’s Way and the Inside Story of the Interpretation Debate

In the middle ages, there was internal strife in the Taoist sect, and the dispute over interpretation was in full swing. The big bosses did not care about their face when they took action, but the pawns below were fighting into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

With the promotion of the human race as the authentic religion and the rejection of heterogeneous religions, the human race has officially become the master of all spirits in the world. This pattern continues to this day.

Moreover, as time went by, the trend not only did not reverse, but became more and more obvious. The human race alone surpassed the sum of hundreds of races.

The Taoist Scriptures say: Misfortunes lie on the back of blessings, and blessings lie on the backs of misfortunes.

The human race is powerful, which is a good thing for the human race. At least they don't have to worry about being regarded as meat by the demon clan like in ancient times and ancient times. Now, the demon clan has to worry that they may be exterminated by the human race, and they will be miserable. Ten years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river, nothing better than this.

However, as the Taoist Scriptures say, a powerful human race is not entirely a good thing.

According to the analysis of the theory of contradiction, when external contradictions calm down, internal contradictions that were not obvious in the past will suddenly break out and become the main contradiction.

Whether it is the demon clan, the witch clan, or other demon clans, they can no longer stop the rise of the human race, and the human race has no opponents. Then, he himself is his own opponent.

In a word, the human race began to divide, unity was no longer there, internal strife emerged and intensified.

The root cause of this result is actually the deep-seated contradiction in Taoism. When the saint passed down the Taoism, this contradiction already existed. Unless the way of inheritance of Taoism is changed, it is impossible to change.

Whether it is explaining the teaching, intercepting the teaching, or even the demon clan and the witch clan, they all attach great importance to the qualifications of the successors, and therein lies the problem.

Whether you admit it or not, the world is in the form of a pyramid. People with good qualifications and those who are suitable for cultivation are just some of the people at the top of the pyramid. The vast majority of people, no matter how hard they practice, cannot even get started.

There is nothing surprising, the world is so big, the resources are fixed, and the immortal way seeks from the heaven and the earth, it can be called a predatory plague existence.

If everyone in a world enters the path of immortality, then it is conceivable that sooner or later, this world will become a world with no spiritual energy.

As more people enter the path of immortality, both natural and human tribulations (also known as demonic tribulations) will become very frequent. Eventually, with a series of killings, the overloaded world will get back on track. It doesn't matter. good and evil.

Otherwise, the world will sink into ruins. This is a cyclical process, so that the saying that some worlds have a small evil tribulation every hundred years and a big evil catastrophe every thousand years is not groundless.

Returning to the issue of qualifications, the intergenerational inheritance of immortality qualifications is particularly obvious. If an ancestor enters the immortal way, then there is a high probability that the descendants will also be qualified to practice. Moreover, with the accumulation of their predecessors, their descendants will be able to cultivate along the way. Entering the country is also more convenient and faster than others.

The result is that the world is becoming more and more polarized, with the strong getting stronger and the weak getting weaker. A polarized world is destined not to survive forever.

The way of heaven is to destroy the excess and nourish the insufficient; the way of man is to destroy the insufficient but to nourish the excess.

Heaven and man are in opposition, strong people follow the way of humanity, and weak people follow the way of heaven. It has nothing to do with good or evil, but only concerns one's own background. This background includes qualifications, family background, etc.

One of the promised escapes is to give the world a way out. In a world where only qualifications matter, is it possible that people with poor qualifications will be slaves and maids all their lives, with no chance of turning over?

Obviously, humans, as the spirits of all things, should not be underestimated even if they are not qualified to practice Taoism. A new avenue and a new system were built, and humanity followed the trend.

In fact, there are many interpretations of human nature. The human nature mentioned before in the struggle between heaven and man is the most broad. It refers to selfishness and has nothing to do with whether it is a human race or not;

There is also the humane view from the perspective of race. This humane refers to the continuous luck of the human race, sometimes also called human luck.

There are also meanings such as reproduction and reproduction. Trust me, you don’t want to hear the news from a doctor that you cannot be humane. I don’t know if this statement is because the human race is good at reproduction.

And the way of humanity that we talk about as opposed to the way of immortality is sometimes called the way of the human emperor. The Immortal Way seeks transcendence and transcendence and only cares about oneself, while the Human Emperor's Way seeks the survival of the people and the prosperity and strength of the country.

The former represents the interests of some people at the top of the pyramid, but the latter truly represents the vital interests of the vast majority of human beings at the bottom. Who wants to be born to worship immortals and openly say that my destiny is not up to me, isn't it good?

As a result, it is not difficult to imagine that as soon as the way of the Human Emperor appeared, it immediately became a great sight and swept the heavens. Although it is still not comparable to the immortal way, but with the addition of the divine way between the immortal way and the human way, the human and divine two paths compare to the immortal way, two to one. It is hard to say how much advantage the immortal way really has.

In fact, this is also the current situation of most realms. The reason why the vast realm seems a little different is that, in fact, from now on, the names of the realms can be guessed.

The world is vast, the world is vast, and it is a wilderness. When the Dao Sect entered this world, it was still a world of monsters. After tens of thousands of years of attacks, the water tribe still existed, and the human race was far from being the only one.

All in all, the external contradictions have not been eliminated, and the internal contradictions have not been elevated to the main contradiction for a while. Coupled with a series of Taoist methods, humanity and Shinto have no room to rise. (After realizing the author’s intention in choosing the name, deduct 1)

Analyze specific issues in detail, rather than copying them mechanically.

In fact, the division within the human race was the most noteworthy thing in the Middle Ages. It had already begun to take shape at that time. If the Taoist sect paid attention to it, it would not be so embarrassing in modern times.

However, the debate over interpretation at that time was so dazzling that it obscured the undercurrent surging underneath.

The Western Buddhism, which interprets the teachings and determines the heavens, thinks that it has no rivals. However, Western Buddhism, which sees the tendency of human race to divide, unites the two paths of gods and humans, and greatly prospers the Buddhist kingdom.

Mahayana Buddhism, whose purpose is to save all sentient beings, is extremely prosperous in the mortal world. Many Buddhist protectors have come and been involved in the endless stream of people's wishes. In recent times, they gave Taoism a severe slap in the face. A large number of Taoist immortals joined Buddhism in the interpretation dispute. Buddhism took the lead.

Of course, after that, the Taoist sect also used small tricks to create Hinayana Buddhism, dividing the powerful and glorious Buddhism into two, and the threat was greatly reduced. There are repeated debates over interpretation.

Now, the balance of power is basically present, and no one has the ability to defeat the other. After the interpretation battle, there are many disasters in the heavens, but there is no such thing as such a vast one.
