Ancestor Hongjun is the ancestor of the universe (actually the founder of Taoism). He is also called the God of Yuanyang and the Holy Emperor of Pangu. In fact, it was transformed by the original god Pangu. The world is constantly changing, but the body of the ancestor is indestructible. Whenever the world first opens, the ancestor will be born to save people. He passed along three friends: Laozi, Tongtian, and Yuanyuan. And Laozi, Tongtian, and the three of them were actually transformed into one body. Laozi lived in Xuandu, and Tongtian and Yuan were divided into two religions. Later, after the Jiejiao was destroyed in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, only the Chanjiao sect remained.
Taoist Lu Ya is the essence of Lihuo. Flying outside the three realms is not among the five elements. He ignored the Three Holy Emperors of Huoyun, and ignored Yaochi and the Emperor of Heaven (it seemed that the Heaven was not in charge of the Jade Emperor at that time). Not in the three religions, not in the land of bliss. If you don’t submit to the management of human kings, you won’t submit to the underworld. Xiaoxiao is free to let me swim, and free to disperse the saints and immortals.
The 24 Dinghai Pearls obtained by burning the lamp became the twenty-four heavens in later Buddhism. Later, Buddhism flourished and established the Western Bliss. (Nirvana will be achieved after the tribulation)
After receiving the guidance of the Taoist, he cultivated in the West and relied on the Six Golden Body to achieve the boundless Western Buddhism
Zhunti Taoist is also the founder of the Western Wonderful Dharma mentioned in the book Bodhi, (I don’t know why he lived in seclusion in the mountains and cultivated the super killer Sun Wukong to cause trouble in the heavenly palace)
There is another saying: The ancestor Hongjun attained enlightenment through Qu Yu.
Jiang Ziya indeed said that he was a pure white bear who heard the wonderful teachings and was willing to go to the Tao and ask for the original acceptance. Kneel outside the original cave. However, the original did not accept the mob and only looked at the foundation. So the white bear sat and died outside the cave for hundreds of years. Later he was reincarnated as Jiang Ziya and went up the mountain to learn Taoism. Originally, I didn't want to take him in when I saw that he had no connection with the Tao. However, he was so sincere in his previous life, and in the future he had the talent of a general to be able to fulfill the role of deity on his behalf, so he took him in as his disciple. Later, many stories about deification of gods were derived. .
