During the Northern Song Dynasty, Buddha lights suddenly appeared in Baoding Mountain and Dafo Bay. The Buddha's face is faintly visible in the red light. Therefore, it is widely spread among the people that the living Buddha saves all sentient beings, gives alms to hell, and is about to be reincarnated.
Half a year later, he ascended to the southern foot of the mountain and secretly established the Shibi sect. There were hundreds of followers, but the leader was not satisfied with the moon and was revered as the reincarnated King Shibi. He performed the "reincarnation ceremony", cut off the flesh of his left leg and fed it to the eagle, released a flock of pigeons, and was worshiped by the followers. He sealed the eight abandoned dead babies in a vat. In the future, he would shape the corpses into an "immortal golden body", build a "floating map", and protect the teachings. Before the leader reaches the age of majority, the four guardian envoys - Taiji, Fubo, Baoxia and Xianglun - will temporarily take charge of the teaching affairs. The four guardian envoys wear high crowns on their heads, necklaces or necklaces on their chests, robes, and large intestine skirts with dense pleats.
The Shibi sect has not done much, and more than a hundred people often carve trees into Buddhas in the forest within a radius of a hundred miles. Over time, it has become a scene.
Shibi teaches that there is no need to argue between good and evil, and there is no dispute with the world. Seventeen years later, the religion was suddenly annihilated overnight, and all the members were massacred, except for the young leader who was missing. The death state of the four guardian envoys was the most terrifying. Each body was cut off and reassembled into a corpse to pose as a living Buddha. After the corpses of the Shibi Sect were found, the Songshan Shaolin Temple sent monks to clean them up, and the news was blocked. After a few years, this sect has become a secret and unknown to the world.
