Deng Mu suddenly jumped out to fight for himself, but Lang Rushan didn't feel happy, but he felt discouraged, lamenting the injustice of God, and let him miss the opportunity to regain the glory of his sect.

There are many sects of Taoism, but the three holy places are Longhu Mountain, Maoshan Mountain and Gesoo Mountain, which is also located in Jiangxi. Those who lived in Longhu Mountain were the Heavenly Master Dao, and those who lived in Maoshan were the Shangqing faction, the Lingbao faction of Gesoap Mountain, and later the Quanzhen faction that advanced at the end of the Song Dynasty. For a long time, in the internal struggle of Taoism, the three factions were competitors to each other, from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, most of the Shangqing faction and the Lingbao faction took turns to sit in the village, almost overwhelming Zhang Tianshi's breathlessness.

But from the Song Dynasty onwards, the situation slowly developed in favor of the Heavenly Master Dao. But after the rise of Mongolia, Qiu, who was already 73 years old in the Quanzhen faction, took the opportunity to assess the situation, refused the recruitment of the Song and Jin countries, and led 18 disciples to embark on a journey of more than two years at the invitation of Genghis Khan. Qiu Chuji and his entourage went through hardships and dangers, and finally arrived at the Genghis Khan military camp at the foot of the Great Snow Mountain in the Western Regions.

This long-distance journey made Qiu Chuji a well-known figure at that time. Genghis Khan was also moved by Qiu Chuji, and had long talks with him many times, obeying his words, and even exempted him from calling him Mr. When Qiu was about to return to the east, Genghis Khan gave Quanzhen Dao two favorable policies: first, he ordered that all taxes of Quanzhen Dao be exempted; Second, he ordered Qiu to take charge of the monks in the whole world. This event signifies, at least in name, that Quanzhen Sect has become a Taoist leader.

Since Mr. Qiu Chuji got off to a good start, Quanzhen Dao has been valued by the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty for a long time. But if it expands too quickly, it tends to burst quickly. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Quanzhen Dao overhauled the palace and recruited disciples. Known as the end of the sea in the east, the south is thin and Hanhuai, and the northwest is a vast desert, although the gathering of ten houses, there will be a seat of incense.

The Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Dao expanded their power and built new Taoist temples everywhere, which later developed to the point of seizing monasteries. Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable? The monks, through the officials and the princes and nobles, reported the situation to the emperor. So the nightmare of the Taoist priests came: at this time, the Yuan Dynasty emperor Meng Ge had already converted to Buddhism and ordered a great debate between the monks and Taoism.

As a result, all the Quanzhen Sect was defeated, and their defeat this time not only forced the seventeen main debaters to shave their hair and become monks, but also a heavy loss for the entire Taoism. Because this made the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty lose trust in Taoism for a time, Kublai Khan ordered that in addition to the "Tao Te Ching", all the Taoist scriptures in the "Tao Zang" should be burned, and the Quanzhen Sect naturally lost its status as a Taoist system!

However, after the decline of the Quanzhen Sect, before the Shangqing faction was happy for a while, the Mongols crossed the Yangtze River and Jiangnan fell. And Tianshi Dao because Kublai Khan sent people to Longhu Mountain to 'ask for a talisman', calculated that "in the next twenty years, the world should be mixed", and it is also rumored that in the war to destroy the Song Dynasty, Tianshi Dao made a great contribution. Since there is merit, of course, it must be rewarded, so that the Heavenly Master Dao leads Jiangnan Taoism. In this way, the east completely overwhelmed the west wind, and the Shangqing faction and the Gesoap faction were simply led by the Zhang family, marking the overwhelming final victory of the Heavenly Master Dao in the internal struggle of Taoism!

But the Heavenly Master Dao only counted the next twenty years correctly, but did not calculate that there would be another ten years for the Great Song Dynasty to make a comeback, and as early as a few years ago, because the Heavenly Master Dao was attached to the enemy, all titles were canceled by the Great Song Dynasty and regarded as a traitor. At that time, people only regarded it as a joke, the Great Song Dynasty had destroyed the country, so it was just a gesture made for the sake of face, like a dream, but who would dare to ignore this holy oracle at the moment?

The fall of each faction gave Lang Rushan hope, the Shangqing faction has always been the mainstream of the Great Song Dynasty, and has always been in charge of the royal court, presided over the relevant sacrificial ceremonies, and maintained close contact with the court officials. He knew that betrayal, in the eyes of Confucianism, was simply a great rebellion! How could the sour scholars of Confucianism tolerate the Heavenly Master Dao leaning on foreign emperors?

Lang Rushan had a lot of contacts with the courtiers, even very deeply, and naturally knew that although those Confucian scholars liked to put their shelves to the fullest, they flaunted themselves as majestic and loyal people who survived through the ages. But in fact, the Confucian people are not as firm as they say, but they change their clothes a few beats slower. During the fall of Jiangnan, although he also accepted the edict of the Yuan court and was in charge of Taoist affairs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he was still relatively innocent compared with the other two sects, so no one should say who was darker.

After sorting out the situation, Lang Rushan realized that he could snow the shame of being suppressed by other sects, revive the former glory of the Shangqing faction, and he would also become a milestone figure in Taoism, which will be forever recorded in the history books. But he soon found out that things were not good, the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty had always regarded Taoism as the state religion, but after returning to Lin'an, he did not go to the Taoist temple to pray for blessings, worship the gods, nor did he summon himself as the highest leading body of Taoism, and he did not even issue any edicts on Taoism.

The estrangement of the royal family and the indifference of the imperial court made Lang Rushan a little unable to sit still, he knew that without the support of the emperor, let alone reviving the lintel, even Taoism would decline. But at that time, he also pinned his hopes on the queen mother, thinking that the little emperor was young after all, and he didn't know the importance of it. But after the Queen Mother returned to Beijing, things still did not change, not only ignored them, but went to Xiangguo Temple to worship the Buddha.

There is no way out of the water, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. Just when Lang Rushan was desperate to see a way, it suddenly came that the little emperor was reviewing the retired soldiers in Gushan, and he realized that the opportunity had come. Yanxiangyuan is the West Taiyi Palace, and he also serves as a tip, so he has a chance to get close, but when he went to 'inspect', he was blocked on the lake, not only did he not even go up to the island, but people didn't recognize him as a palace envoy at all.

However, Lang Rushan didn't want to let go of the opportunity, and there were rumors in the Xing Dynasty that the little emperor had met Dao Immortal in a dream when he was young, and since then his brain has been enlightened. Thinking that it has this origin, he simply came to the West Lake to wait for the rabbit, and gave the little emperor an unexpected encounter, and then bluffed the little emperor with his ability to dew, so that he could concentrate on the Tao, so as to get the result he wanted. But I didn't expect the result of the encounter to be like this......

Although Zhao Yu does not believe in ghosts and gods, he is well aware of the influence of religion on society. In some Western countries, the religious power is extremely strong, and if its imam is unhappy, even the king can be directly abolished, not to mention the system of **** in some countries, and its influence on the country's ruling class can be imagined. However, the religion of ancient China has never been able to reach such heights, and compared with their relatives in foreign countries, they often seem a little shabby and dare not be so arrogant.

In ancient Chinese society, Zhao Yu thought that religion was more like an appendage of the state, and if the state was a towering tree, then religion could only be regarded as a parasitic vine plant at best. Once it is time to change the dynasty, they have to keep betting on the treasure, betting on the right food and spicy food, and if they bet on the wrong one, they will be banned and destroyed. Although it is a last resort for survival, history is so cruel that you can't help but be swayed.

Therefore, religion in ancient China was more like a tool of the ruling class, whether it was a monk or a Taoist priest, you could do whatever you wanted on weekdays, and the reason why you were allowed to worship Buddha and gods was to let you teach the common people to be obedient and easy to manage. But there is a red line between the secular and the religious that cannot be touched casually, and even if you are spoiled to heaven at the moment, you must touch it.

Because this line exists under the Son of Heaven, in the Ninefold Imperial Palace, no matter which religion touches, the interests involved in him are often the beginning of their bad luck. You must know that under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. If you yourself learn to be disobedient first, then don't blame the widow for being rude. That's when the monk touched the Buddha and the Taoist priest touched the Tao, there was no place to be accommodating!

Emperor Huizong favored Taoism to the point of incomparability, and the result was that Bianjing was attacked by the Jurchens, and the image of him wearing Taoist robes and being escorted to the Five Kingdoms City desolate was really impressive. If you want to settle old accounts, you will tear down all the Taoist temples in the world, and I am afraid it is reasonable. However, the immortal education since Zhenzong is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, although it is not as fanatical as before, but it still gives favor, and when there is any trouble, it will ask the immortals to carefully find the reason from their own bodies, which makes the gods in the sky unhappy.

Zhao Yu also knew that he couldn't put the blame for the death of the country on religious reasons, but he would no longer blindly let him sit big. He embarrassed Lang Rushan today, one was that he wanted to use 'evil magic' to confuse himself, and this reason was very simple, he was not doing anything to be courteous or treacherous, and the other was to show his distrust of him, and to warn them not to try to get involved in politics again, nor to try to sit as big as before, so as to make him give up his illusions and retreat from the difficulties, so as not to make himself uncomfortable.

"Oh, it turned out to be Lang Zhenren, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Zhao Yu saw that Lang Rushan had already felt the indifference of the royal family to him, but he jumped out of a lot of trouble, he arched his hand so-so to apologize, and then looked at Deng Mupi and pretended not to know if he smiled, "Who is this gentleman?" How do you know that it doesn't mean to cheat people out of money! ”

"You ......" Deng Mu took the initiative to reveal Lang Rushan's identity, just to tell this kid not to judge people by his appearance, but the other party still questioned it, this is not only pointing at the bald man to scold the monk, but even scolding himself, questioning his character, and can't help but get angry.

"Hehe, there's nothing more to say. You are clearly an accomplice, and you cheated us out of our money and then shared the spoils, right? Zhao Yu pointed at Deng Mu, whose face was pale, and said with a smile.

"I am Deng Muxin, and I can vouch for it in my name!" Deng Mu was even more angry when he heard this, this was simply an insult to himself, and he immediately straightened up and reported his name.

"Deng Muxin?! Is it famous, have you heard of it? Zhao Yu frowned when he heard this, and turned back to ask the others on the boat. Wang De shook his head very cooperatively, and the others naturally followed.

"Humph!" Seeing this, Deng Mu was very shocked, and turned his back with a cold snort.

"Little brother, this is indeed Du Mu, a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, known as an outsider from the Three Sects!" Lang Rushan shook his head helplessly, and could only correct his name by himself.

"Hehe, it's not a pair of liars. Outsiders of the Three Sects, I still know, it is said that he is a madman who does not believe in the Three Religions, but how can he mess with you as a Taoist priest, isn't that really crazy! Zhao Hao sneered when he heard this.

"If you don't believe in the three religions, you can't associate with them, how can it be unreasonable!" Deng Mu was shocked when he heard this, it turned out that he was so impressed in the world, and turned around and said angrily.

"Dare to be hard-mouthed, let my son-in-law hear that he will definitely hand you over to Yousi for punishment, I don't want to defeat You Xing today, leave quickly!" Zhao Yu waved his hand as if driving away two dogs.

"You...... You deceive people too much! Although Deng Mu said that he was a cloth cloth, but with the title of a famous person, he had never been so despised, and said with a white face, "Lang Zhenren mentions Dongxiao Palace, and is in charge of a provincial people, there are both the court and the believers to worship, so why do you need to cheat others out of money."

"The Imperial Court? Which court are you taking, and who is in charge of the sects of a province! In a hurry, he was speechless, and was immediately grabbed by Zhao Yu again, and asked sharply.

"Of course, it is the Yu Lu of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was ordered by the edict of this dynasty to mention the Dongxiao Palace!" Lang Rushan reacted quite quickly, and immediately saluted. But he secretly scolded Deng Mu in his heart, if he wants to die, don't pull himself, if he is investigated, don't say that he will unify Taoism, and his life will have to be taken up.

"What if you take Meng Yuan? Taoism respects the Sanqing, and it is not the emperor of any family! Deng Mu said with great disdain.

"Very good, good answer!" Zhao Yu sneered. In his heart, he also believed that this kid was Deng Mu, and his words were in line with what he said, but anarchism infringed on his own interests, and everyone repaid it like this, but fortunately, there was no market for his ideas.

"Little brother, Mr. Wenxing is cold in the rain, this is a burning mess, so he will talk nonsense!" Lang Rushan hated the root of his teeth, suspecting that he was deliberately harming himself, and hurriedly pulled it aside and explained.

"Childe asked, why is it so noisy outside!" Wang De saw the little emperor gesturing, and spoke again.

"Please also ask the little brother to ......" Hearing the sound of the words in the cabin, Lang Rufeng was startled, and hurriedly took out a few gold leaves from his sleeve and stuffed them into Zhao Hao's hand, and said softly.

"Chief, there's nothing wrong, there's a madman on this ship who is naked, shameless and babbling nonsense, and the little one just scolded him!" Zhao Yu put the gold leaf in his sleeve and turned around to say.

"What nonsense are you talking about, who is naked? Don't insult your innocence! Deng Mu heard this, but he said angrily.

"Haha, your cheeks are exposed, and you are still asking me!" Zhao Yu laughed when he heard this, it turned out that this product was really like the legendary clothes made of paper, but he forgot that it was still raining, and after such a big effort, the paper had already absorbed enough water and was rotten, but he didn't notice it in anger......
