Chapter 18 The Five Buckets of Rice Road have a long history

Tan Pingzhi laughed, stepped forward and picked up the large string of straw sandals beside Liu Yu, counted them twice, and nodded: "Well, yes, there are a total of fifty-two pairs of straw sandals, Brother Liu, three dollars each, we want them all." ”

As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his arms, untied it, grabbed a handful of large coins from it, counted them, there were one hundred and sixty or seventy of them, and gave them to Liu Yu directly.

Liu Yu smiled slightly, accepted the money bag, and said, "Brother Tan seems to have gone south from the north, and he also has some savings." I wish you all the best in peace and contentment in the future. ”

Tan Pingzhi looked at Liu Yu and said, "Today I came specially to find Brother Liu, I went to your house just now, but your brother said that you came to the ferry to sell straw shoes, so I came all the way to invite Brother Liu to participate in our social drama." ”

Liu Yu's eyes widened, and he said strangely: "Social drama? ”

Tan Pingzhi nodded: "Yes, now there are hundreds of northern refugees concentrated in this Jingkou, and everyone has been concentrated and resettled in Fei County, where overseas Chinese are located." ”

"Although the cultivated land has not yet been divided, the officials in the state, oh, it is the same Liu Yi Liu Zhi I saw that day, he took us to an overseas Chinese village to settle down, saying that the matter of cultivated land will be said after Diao Shi takes office, and he will live first."

"Then there are nobles who come today, saying that it is not easy for our northern refugees to go south, and today is the auspicious time of the zodiac, so they will fund us to celebrate, and there are all kinds of juggling performances!"

"To be honest, we northerners have had a hard journey to the south, how can we care about the celebration ceremonies in these hometowns, but today, even the shadow puppet show in my hometown has been seen."

"Brother Liu, you helped us yesterday, this social drama, you have to participate in whatever you say."

Liu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth: "Noble? Are they the two men of the boat that was behind your ship yesterday? Liu Yu's eyes began to appear in front of the two nobles fluttering like immortals.

Tan Pingzhi shook his head: "No, it's not them, this time we are lucky, and we actually met the sect leader living immortals, which is really something we never dreamed of." ”

Liu Yu's expression changed: "Sect Leader Living Immortals? Are you talking about the Heavenly Master? ”

Heavenly Master Taoism is the oldest religion in Chinese tradition, and it is also an important school of Taoism, which is said to have been created by Zhang Daoling, a real person in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

After the death of Zhang Daoling, his grandson Zhang Lu succeeded as the head of the Heavenly Master Dao, at this time the Heavenly Master Dao has been greatly developed, the believers who join the religion need to pay five buckets of rice as the admission fee, after that the brothers in the religion are all equal, there will be various religious ceremonies, by the Taoist officials and sacrificial wines to pray for it, since then the Heavenly Master Dao is also known as the five buckets of rice Dao.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Army, which believed in another school of Taoism, Taiping Dao, launched a major uprising, and Zhang Lu took the opportunity to rise up in Hanzhong and captured the entire Liangzhou region.

Those who have just entered the Tao are called "Taoists"; Entering the Tao for a long time, and believing in the deep will be the "sacrificial wine", the leaders of the people, the many people called "the head of the great sacrificial wine". Zhang Lu took "governance" as the management unit, and in the area under his rule, there were 24 governance. Each ruler does not have a chief official, and manages administrative, military, religious and other matters with sacrificial wine. The sacrificial wine is the master of the Taoist people, and regular gatherings and visits.

Zhang Lu's good times did not last long, the northern tyrant Cao Cao finally sent troops to Hanzhong, Zhang Lu could not resist, took the initiative to surrender, so from him to tens of thousands of believers, were moved into Guanzhong, because Zhang Lu surrendered early, the power of the Heavenly Master Tao and the believers were basically retained, and since then in the Wei and Jin dynasties have spread to the whole world.

And with the Yongjia Rebellion, Wuhu Chaohua, the northern Heavenly Master Taoist disciples are difficult to gain a foothold, and began to go south in large numbers, because the upper class scholars of the Eastern Jin Dynasty like to talk, the metaphysics of Lao Zhuang's Dao, and the teachings of the Heavenly Master Dao, so the Heavenly Master Dao, or Wudou Mi Dao, has been greatly developed in the south of the Yangtze River, and can even be said to be the state religion.

Liu Yu's brows furrowed, in this Jingkou place, for some reason, Liu Yu did not have a good impression of the Heavenly Master Dao, and most of the believers who believed in the Heavenly Master Dao would add a word after their names to show their difference from other non-believers, such as the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi, whose family was a believer in the Heavenly Master Dao.

Liu Yu looked at Tan Pingzhi and muttered, "Brother Tan's name also has a zigzag, and that's it." It's just that this time you are really seeing Sun Tai, the sect leader of the Heavenly Master Dao? ”

Tan Yizhi's face changed slightly, and he said, "Brother Liu is not a brother in the sect, how can he know the name of my family leader?" ”

Liu Yu sighed: "Your Sect is too famous in the south, and the reputation of Sect Master Sun is also thunderous, it's hard to know it." ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Tan Yizhi, "Brother Tan is a northerner, how can he also believe in this Heavenly Master's Dao?" ”

Tan Pingzhi smiled slightly: "Our family has believed in the Divine Religion for generations in the north, and our fathers and ancestors have received a lot of favors from the Divine Religion. ”

Liu Yu's eyes widened: "Heavenly Master Dao would still do this kind of thing?" Let you Dao people go south to join Jin? ”

Tan Pingzhi nodded: "Yes, the Lord of the Wine Sacrifice said, Hu Lu is ferocious and easy to kill, and he believes in that pagan religion, the Heavenly Master Tao is my ancestral religion in China, only in the southern Great Jin Dynasty, where the Han people are tracing back, is our real hometown, and now the Hu people are about to go south to invade my Great Jin, and the Taoist people from all over the world should go to the aid to defend the Great Jin Dynasty and protect my Heavenly Master Dao." ”

Liu Yu sighed: "In this way, Heavenly Master Dao has done a lot of good things this time. ”

Tan Pingzhi's eyebrows raised: "Listening to Brother Liu, didn't the Divine Sect do anything good in Jiangnan?" The younger brother has lived in the north for a long time, and he doesn't know this, so he asked Brother Liu to teach. ”

Xu Xianzhi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said hatefully: "Not only didn't we do good deeds, our Jingkou can make this Heavenly Master Dao demon miserable!" ”

Tan Yizhi's face changed: "Little brother, what's going on?" ”

Liu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "That was a few years ago, we are here in Jingkou, and it is also the peak of the Heavenly Master Dao incense, just like your Tan brother, twenty years ago, a large number of displaced people from the north went south and settled here, and the great sacrificial wine of the Heavenly Master Dao at that time, Lu Wei, was also in Jingkou to make a good relationship and recruit many believers. ”
