Taishan Defoe
After the God War the day after tomorrow, the Emperor of Heaven controlled the power of heaven and set up the five immortals of heaven, earth, man and ghost. In order to control the underworld, the heaven set up Taishan underworld in Dongyue Mountain, taking Dongyue Emperor as the master of the underworld and leading the forces of the underworld from a distance. At this time, the underworld of Mount Tai is not as big as the later nether world, but just around the foot of Mount Tai.
nether world
During the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism struck three Brahmins, and Brahmins destroyed religion, which was divided into eight parts, namely, one day, two dragons, three ha, four gan, five Asura, six elder brothers, Luda and seven Kinnara Eight Bodhisattvas. ?
The disabled fled into the underworld, and Luo Cha, Hag and Gui Mu were wanton and cruel. According to the records of Journey to the West, Luo Cha and Hag are extremely hateful men and extremely beautiful women, but these guys eat people for a living. Cow's head and horse's face are two ghost kings in Luo Cha. Later, the thief princess of Luo Cha married Wang Mo of Niu Mowang, and the Gui Mu family multiplied very quickly, and the influence of the ghost family was greatly enhanced. Heroes side by side, the ghost king runs amok.
The bodhisattva, the king of earth treasure, made a big wish with all his mana and merits: if the hell is not empty, won't it become a Buddha? Later, with the help of Buddhism, Buddhism was established, and the top ten dignitaries of Luo Cha Hag clan were all transformed into the temple masters of the nether world.
This matter is recorded in the book "The Wishing Sutra of the Earth Hidden King"
Du Feng Defoe
Daomen Taiyi Buddha rode Sheng Yuan, a god beast with nine spirits, calling himself the leader of Tsinghua, and settled in the underworld with imperial power. With a loud roar, the Nine Spirit Lions can open the door to any underworld anywhere. Taiyi Buddha became powerful in the underworld, incorporated the original four emperors of GREAT GHOST, expanded into the Five-Party Ghost Emperor, and took Fengdu Emperor as the Lord of the underworld, thus evolving the Du Feng underworld. Since then, Heaven, Mount Tai, Buddhism, the underworld, as well as Daomen and Du Feng, are in a tripartite confrontation in the underworld.
But how can there be three places to live in a world? A lot of things are in a mess. The Emperor of Heaven issued an imperial edict, hoping that the Empress and Emperor would take the lead. The three parties discussed how to set up this reincarnation system and chose a son of heaven to take charge of everything in the underworld.
What does this imperial edict say? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that heaven wants to take over the underworld in an all-round way, and the son of heaven must have planted it. Taoism and Buddhism naturally refuse to give up, and they don't want the samsara they have worked so hard to create to be taken over by those guys in the sky. So Taoists and Buddhists decided that the Emperor of Heaven would take turns between the Ten Halls of Hell and the Five Demon Emperors. Note here that there are nine ghosts in the five directions, and they don't play Mount Tai.
In order to improve the six divisions in the wheel of karma, the thick local emperor only asked his good friend Nu Wa to borrow sansheng stone and put it on the banks of Wuchuan River, but how could Taishan Hell do nothing? Emperor Dongyue's big move. He put Mount Tai on the ground where the underworld ruled. Later, the Chu-Han War broke out, and Sean made a deity for the second time. The sages since the Zhou Dynasty were gods of mountains, rivers, lakes and rivers.
Zhuge Liang became a god for the third time when the Three Kingdoms War broke out. Since the Han Dynasty, all outstanding figures have been named the gods of the underworld. More representative ones are Guan Yu, the ghost king, and Zhang Fei, the governor of the Three Kingdoms. Because of the particularity of the Three Kingdoms period, the influence of Taishan underworld increased greatly, and he entered the underworld with a tough attitude, thus forming the present underworld. Taiyi Tianzun is in heaven, and the earth treasure bodhisattva lives in seclusion behind the scenes.
