What was the past life of Jiang Ziya who helped Zhou Wuwang win the world?

Jiang Ziya is said to have been a bear in his last life and devoted himself to practicing Taoism. He worshipped Buddha at the beginning of the century, but he still had no chance to become an immortal. Yuan Tianzun was later moved by him, which made him a person in the afterlife, then went to learn from his teacher and finally became a man of the hour.

Speaking of Jiang Ziya, although this man followed the Buddha at first, his time was not as good as burning a lamp, and his magic was not as good as Twelve Jinxian's. In the end, the deification was handed over to him. It turns out that Jiang Ziya's life is the fruit of his previous life.

It is said that after the creation of the world, the orthodoxy of cultivating immortals in this world is Taishang Laojun, Yuanzun and their younger brothers. They opened up new roads and began to establish their own sects. But among them, the Buddha attached the most importance to the foundation from the beginning. At that time, it was orthodox to turn people into gods, and animals could only become demons.

One day, a bear-headed Taoist was walking on Tiantong Avenue in Kunlun Mountain. The Taoist bear bowed down step by step, very pious. I don't know how long the mountain road leading to the summit is, but this bear-headed Taoist has been beating it. Although no one believed that he could succeed, he persisted.

After a long time, the Taoist priest finally climbed to the top of Kunlun Mountain and saw a magnificent palace, which is the Jade Hall. At this moment, a child suddenly appeared and took him to the Jade Palace. When I arrived at the Buddha's bed, I saw that he was a bear, and I didn't care much about letting him go home, but the Taoist priest was impressed by the majesty of the Buddha and knelt in front of the bed sincerely.

Yuan Tianzun felt sleepy and slept for more than 300 years. At this moment, I saw a whirlwind spinning in front of my bed. It turns out that the bear has long since disappeared, but the soul is still bowing to the Buddha. With a wave of his hand, the Buddha turned him into a Jiang Ziya on earth and began to practice. If it weren't for the fate of past lives, how could the Buddha value him?

Jiang Ziya's mount

As the god of gods, Jiang Ziya's mount is certainly not an ordinary deity. According to legend, Jiang Ziya's mount is called all around, as the name implies. It is composed of several kinds of animals and has their properties.

Unlike Jiang Ziya, who made great contributions to pacify Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Unlike deer, horses, cows and donkeys, deer horns, horses' faces, cows' hooves and donkeys' tails don't look like any of them, but they all look like these four species. This species actually exists, but it is very rare. Just like the giant panda, it is one of the ancient beasts, and there are unicorns, which symbolize good luck, longevity and well-being. Legend has it that Jiang Ziya went down the mountain, married an old woman and started a business, but business was always bleak, and his wife went back to her family in a rage.

One day, when Jiang Ziya came back from a pilgrimage, he passed through a forest and saw a shepherd boy crying there. Jiang Ziya asked, "Why are you crying here? What's wrong with you? " The shepherd boy cried, "I was herding cattle just now, and a black wind came and blew them away." If my sister-in-law knows that the cow is lost, I'm dead. Ouch. "The shepherd boy's name is Li Xiao. He has a brother named Li Da who married a wife, but this sister-in-law made excuses to drive Li Xiao out of the house many times, and Li Daren was speechless with anger. Jiang Ziya pinched his finger and said to the shepherd boy, "Your big black cow must have been eaten by a fox in the mountains. I have a big blue cow at home, but I have no time to raise it. Take it home. When the green cow is born, you can give me a calf. "Later, this big blue cow gave birth to four elephants. Jiang Ziya loved it and kept it with him all the time.

Jiang Ziya became an immortal.

From the very beginning, under the command of Buddha, Jiang Ziya sealed a total of 365 gods, including the Lord God and various departments, except himself. There is a saying that although Jiang Ziya is not deified, he has surpassed the status of God and become a fairy.

Jiang Ziya was a disciple of the Buddha in the early Yuan Dynasty. The Buddha in Yuan Dynasty was the main figure of Taoism. Taoism advocates Taoism and nature. What it pursues is to get rid of Motta's world.

However, when chaos begins and the world is in chaos, someone must come out to help take the right path. The disciples of the Yuan Shi Tian Zun Sect are all from the mountains. Jiang Ziya was the youngest, but due to the entanglement of previous lives, the Buddha of Yuan Shi loved Jiang Ziya as much as other disciples, and spoke highly of him.

The reason why Buddha didn't let Jiang Ziya have a place in God's class is precisely the best love for him. Yuan Zun hoped that Jiang Ziya could live forever.

In the ancient myth system, God and Fairy are two different concepts. There are three kinds of gods, such as Nu Wa Pangu; Gods of merit, such as Li Jing and his son; Faith, such as Guan Yu. Except the immortal, the other two are staying in their posts and temples, doing their own work, having no freedom at all, and still in the secular world. But immortals are different. Immortals are not reincarnated, which is a great freedom. Jiang Ziya is the luckiest one. He met the Buddha from the beginning. The Buddha made Jiang Ziya a god only because he wanted to transcend reincarnation, and then he became a god himself.

Jiang Ziya tube god in heaven, equivalent to the responsibility of the commission for discipline inspection. This responsibility can only be borne by the most trusted and reused people in Buddhism.
