Volume 1 The Eagle Flies to the Late Han Dynasty Chapter 16 Eastern and Western Taoism

Nanying suddenly heard that Gao Shun asked about the Taoist sect, thinking of the gossip mark on the corpse, he had already vaguely guessed a few points, and nodded: "Yes, it has been recorded in later generations that the largest sect today should be the Taiping Dao led by Zhang Jiao, and in 2 years they will launch the Yellow Turban Uprising that will sweep most of the world, and I have briefly told my eldest brother about this matter last night." What's more, I'm afraid that I'm going to count the Five Doumi Sect led by Zhang Lu! ”

Gao Shun patted his thigh and said, "What the virtuous brother said is good!" The Wudou Rice Sect is also known as the Heavenly Master Dao, but the current person in charge is not Zhang Lu, but his uncle Zhang Xiu. ”

Nan Ying was stunned: "Zhang Xiu? I've never heard of it! ”

Gao Shun's eyes shot a complicated and incomprehensible look: "Brother, would you like to listen to my brother explain this Taoist matter in detail?" ”

Seeing Nan Ying's look of hope, he said slowly: "Taoism is a religion developed on the basis of the witchcraft of ancient primitive religions, especially the immortal magic of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the Qin Dynasty. The other school is mainly based on talisman spells, but it is divided into two branches, one is to practice the "Taiping Sutra", also known as the "Taiping Qing Lingshu", and the other is to practice the "Taiping Cave Extreme Sutra" written by Zhang Daoling, these two branches are collectively referred to as the "Fu Zheng School". ”

"In recent years, the Danding faction has gradually declined, but the Fu Zheng faction is becoming more and more prosperous, there is Zhang Jiao, who founded the Taiping Dao in the east, with hundreds of thousands of believers, and is divided into 36 parties, each with a commander of the canal, has become the largest force in Taoism today, so I am not surprised that the virtuous brother mentioned that the Taiping Dao is going to make a big move."

"The other branch is Zhang Daoling's Heavenly Master Dao, Zhang Daoling has two sons, one is Zhang Heng and one is Zhang Xiu, and the virtuous brother said that Zhang Lu is the son of Zhang Heng, Zhang Xiu's nephew, and now lives in the Heavenly Master Dao Great Sacrifice Wine, on which is Zhang Xiu, who calls himself 'Shijun'. Because the Heavenly Master Tao is called 'from the recipient, out of five buckets of rice', so people also call it 'five buckets of rice'. This five buckets of rice religion has been preaching in Hanzhong, Bashu area, quite popular among the people, although not as big as Zhang Jiao, but there are also tens of thousands of believers, and set up 24 governance, each with sacrificial wine management. Although Wudou Mijiao and Taiping Dao are both branches of the Fu Gong faction, they have been fighting openly and secretly, so for many years, the Taiping Dao forces have always only flowed in the eight states of Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan and Henan, and it is difficult to enter the two states of Yi and Liang. It is said that there is Zhang Jiao in the east and Zhang Xiu in the west, which is the real situation of Taoism today. ”

Nanying was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he stopped talking.

Gao Shun smiled bitterly: "Brother Xian, I want to ask, how do I understand Taoism so well?" In fact, I don't hide it from my virtuous brother, my teacher is Wei Boyang, but he belongs to the Danding faction. ”

Nan Ying suddenly said: "It turns out that the eldest brother is also a Taoist!" ”

Gao Shun shook his head and said: "My teacher has never taught me the way of Jindan, but only taught martial arts, and I am not a Taoist person." But after years of teaching by word and deed, it's no surprise that I know everything about Taoism! ”

Nan Ying suddenly realized: "Big brother mentioned the matter of Daomen tonight, is it related to what happened just now?" ”

Gao Shun sighed: "Exactly, the gossip marks on those corpses are the marks of the 'ghost pawns' in the Five Doumi Sect!" ”

Nan Yingqi said: "What do ghost pawns do?" ”

Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "The ghost pawn was originally the name of a person who has just entered the sect and learned the Tao, but now it has become a killing tool for the Five Doumi Sect to eliminate dissent!" ”

Nanying couldn't help but exhale and said, "It seems that tonight's matter is not simple!" I speculate that these ghost pawns must have a plan to infiltrate the valley, but they never thought that they became the prey of the black tiger when they acted. However, thanks to this demon beast, otherwise we would still be ignorant of the hidden actions of the Five Dou Mi Sect! ”

Gao Shun got up and paced back and forth a few steps, his brows furrowed: "It seems that Zheng Sanshan's uncle must also be a member of the Five Doumi Sect!" We must get the answer from him and arrange it as soon as possible, otherwise we are afraid that a catastrophe will come! ”

Nan Ying said disapprenously: "It's just a non-governmental organization, and it's not the army of the government, isn't the eldest brother too worried!" ”

Gao Shun said worriedly: "Brother Xian doesn't know, even I won't be afraid of that horn, just because his power has not yet extended to this point, what can I do?" But the Five Doumi Sect is close to us, so we can't take it lightly. After all, there are thousands of old and young women and children in this valley, once I fight with them, I am afraid that the paradise in the mouth of the virtuous brother will be established into a Shura cemetery, then my sin will be impossible to atone! ”

Nanying could hear a cold sweat and understood.

The voice of the high-speed train outside the door came: "Gu Master, the injured man has just woken up!" ”

Both of them were in good spirits at the same time.

Zheng Sanshan looked at the third uncle and said, "Third uncle, why did you leave the castle late at night?" And who hurt you? ”

The third uncle was still shocked and said, "That's a monster!" That's a youkai! ”

Zheng Sanshan lost his voice and said, "What? Monster? ”

The third uncle gradually calmed down, his mind was racing, tonight has been defeated, and the three of his subordinates were killed on the spot, it seems that this valley is very strange, now there is only silence or make up reasons to confuse the past, and then go to the master, ask him to send more people to come.

At the moment, he said vaguely: "I and a few young people in the village sneaked out at night to catch some game because of greed, but we were attacked by fierce beasts, and only I escaped with my life!" ”

Zheng Sanshan was puzzled: "Isn't it? So how did you come to wear night clothes, and where did the blades come from? ”

The third uncle was stunned, and was secretly thinking about how to deal with it in his heart, only to hear a light laugh.

At some point, there were already two people standing at the door, a slightly older young man looked at him coldly with an expressionless face, and the other younger one smiled and smiled, with a mocking look on his face, only to hear Zheng Sanshan get up and say, "Valley Lord!" Brother Minami! "We know who is coming.

The third uncle hurriedly straightened up from the couch and arched his hand: "Old Zheng Du bows to the valley lord for saving his life!" ”

Gao Shun snorted in his nose and didn't speak, but Nanying still looked himself up and down with a smile on his face.

Zheng Du was furious in his heart, and said with a forced smile: "I don't know why Little Brother Nan keeps staring at the old decay?" ”

Nanying said seriously: "Don't mind! I just want to take a good look, your old man is also old, and you can't tell how to lie! ”

Zheng Du knew that something was wrong, but he still insisted on it: "Where did the little brother come from?" I really don't understand! ”

Nanying suddenly smiled and said, "That's good! Since you don't understand, I'll tell you about it! As he spoke, he gently shook his head at Zheng Sanshan, who was stammering, and motioned him not to ask.

"Mr. Zheng, let me tell you a few mistakes that your old man made! First of all, if I were you, I would never have rushed into the valley on the second night, and after the valley lord announced the heightened vigilance at night, you were not familiar with this place at all! You're so anxious; Secondly, if I were you, I would never dress like this when I acted, because once I was discovered, it would be difficult to find a suitable reason to push, and you might as well dress up and come out with a kitchen knife, maybe we would still believe that you really came out to fight for your teeth; Thirdly, if I were you, after knowing the reason for the martial law at night, I would never dare to take your few scumbags out to hang out easily! You wouldn't think that the tiger group in the mountains was made up by the valley owner, right? One last minute! ”

Nan Ying stared at Zheng Du without blinking: "And the most important point, the marks on your bodies are very eye-catching, aren't you afraid that we will recognize them?" ”

A gleam flashed in Zheng Du's eyes: "So you already know who I am!?" ”

"Not bad! Luckily, we've seen a bit of the world and barely recognized your identity! Nan Ying regained his hippie smile again, "Now I want to ask you what position the old man holds in the Heavenly Master Dao, and what is the matter?" ”

"What!" Zheng Sanshan turned his head and looked at Zheng Du in disbelief, "Third uncle, you are actually a member of the Heavenly Master's Dao?" ”

Zheng Du's waist straightened, the color of the gloom in his eyes flashed, and he said proudly: "Not bad!" The old man is one of the twenty-four sacrificial wines of the Heavenly Master's Dao! I came here to do things by the order of the teacher! ”

Zheng Sanshan was shocked: "Third uncle, you are really a person in the Heavenly Master's Dao!" His eyes immediately lit up with majestic anger, and he roared: "Why! You actually joined the Heavenly Master Dao, don't you know that my father died at the hands of the Heavenly Master Dao! ”

Zheng Du said with a look of shame: "Sanshan, I joined the sect many years ago, and I only knew about your father after the fact. But this matter is really because of your father, if he has a little leeway to do things, how can he end up like this! By the time I learned about it, it was too late! ”

Zheng Sanshan was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Okay! I also know what you said, my father is really reckless to get into trouble, not to mention that he died in a fair competition, I have nothing to say! But we live in this small valley with peace of mind, have we violated your Heavenly Master Dao again? What are your schemes to use me to sneak into the valley? ”

This sentence is exactly what Gao Shun and Nan Ying wanted to ask, and the two watched coldly from the sidelines, seeing how Zheng Du answered.

Zheng Du said silently for a while: "This matter is a top secret in the sect, I will never confide in half a word, if you really want to forcibly ask, anyway, my old life was also saved by you, just give it back to you!" After that, his eyes were closed, and he looked like he couldn't speak.

Zheng Sanshan said angrily: "Zheng Du, if you recognize the thief as your father, forget it, the Heavenly Master Dao is rampant and domineering!" But today we have retreated to the valley and have no quarrel with the world, and you still want to come here to destroy! The lord of the valley treats me with kindness and reconstruction, if you dare to ......."

"Three Mountains!" Gao Shun interrupted him with a light cough, "Don't be rude, he is your own uncle after all!" ”

Zheng Sanshan said hatefully: "Yes! Valley Lord! ”

Zheng Dutu's eyes widened and said, "Sanshan, it doesn't matter if you hate me!" But I don't really have any ill intentions here, I'm just here to do something! You have to trust me! ”

Zheng Sanshan snorted coldly, full of disbelief.

Gao Shun and Nan Ying glanced at each other, Gao Shun nodded slightly, Nan Ying leaned in front of Zheng Du and bent down, and said with a smile on his face: "We naturally believe your old man's words, since you are not here with malicious intent, then we won't ask more, you just have to rest here to recuperate!" ”

Zheng Sanshan hurriedly said: "Brother Nan, how can this work!"

Nanying ignored him, and said again: "However, you have also personally seen the danger in this valley, let me tell you the truth, it was a demon tiger that attacked you tonight, it is very good at holding grudges, maybe it is still worried about your old age, so,"

There was a hint of ridicule on his lips: "Before the tiger in the mountains is eliminated, Mr. Zheng had better stay here and not go anywhere!" ”

Zheng Du couldn't help but jump his eyelids when he thought of the horror of the black tiger, but he didn't make a sound.

Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "High-speed rail, from now on, you and Sanshan will protect Mr. Zheng closely, so as to be thorough!" When he said the word "close", he deliberately accentuated his tone.

Gao Tie and Zheng Sanshan comprehended, bowed down together and said, "No! Obey the orders of the valley lord! ”

Nan Ying smiled again: "Please rest assured, Mr. Zheng, my eldest brother and I have always respected your sect, and if someone from your sect comes to visit, we will definitely make proper arrangements!" ”

Zheng Du looked up at Nan Ying, and saw that he was full of smiles, but a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, sighed and closed his eyes silently.

Gao Shun and Nan Ying returned to the study, both of them with solemn faces.

Gao Shun saw that Nanying was silent for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "Brother! Why did you let Zheng Du go so easily? ”

Nan Ying said slowly: "Since it is impossible for us to know the truth from his mouth, why torture an injured old man, not to mention that he is also the uncle of Sanshan!" ”

turned to smile and said: "But this time we still have a lot of gains!" Seeing Gao Shun's puzzled face, he explained: "First, we should now be able to conclude that Sanshan is not suspected of collaborating with the enemy, but is indeed kept in the dark!" ”

Gao Shun couldn't help but say, "Oh? I've been worrying about things before, I'm really afraid that Sanshan is also a Heavenly Master! If you can rule out his suspicion, that's the best! It's just that how can the virtuous brother conclude the innocence of the three mountains? ”

Nan Ying said confidently: "I don't believe his and Zheng Du's words, because this is also very likely to be a plan conspired by the two of them to abandon the pawn and protect the commander, but big brother, you think, from tonight's incident, it can be concluded that Zheng Du and his gang only know that there are tigers in the mountains at most, but they don't know anything at all, so they took the risk and almost died in the mouth of the black tiger!" ”

Gao Shun nodded and said, "Not bad!" But Sanshan and we have explored the tiger's den together, and he knows that the tigers are powerful, so it can be seen that he did not conspire with Zheng Du and the others! ”

"Exactly!" Nan Ying continued, "Not only that, Zheng Du and the other three deceased only came to the valley yesterday, and they are completely unfamiliar with the terrain in the mountains, if the three mountains are also in the same party, they will definitely personally guide them to move at night, and they will never be allowed to wander around here like headless flies!" ”

Gao Shun laughed and said: "Brother is really a good and appropriate metaphor, a fly without a head, hey! And so it was! ”

Nan Ying said with a smile: "Besides, Sanshan said today that he had a grudge against Heavenly Master Dao to kill his father, this matter is very easy to verify, if they really conspired, they would not have made up such a lie that was easy to debunk!" ”

Gao Shun was in a good mood, patted his thigh and said, "Brother Xian is reasonable!" One of them is to confirm the innocence of Sanshan! But I don't know what the second brother of the virtuous brother has seen? ”

Nanying shook his head and said, "Big brother, don't be too happy!" Although Sanshan's suspicion is ruled out, it is still difficult to guarantee that there are no spies among the people who entered the valley with Zheng Du yesterday, and it is still extremely necessary to monitor them! ”

Gao Shun nodded and said, "Don't worry about this, I will arrange it properly, you can continue quickly!" ”

Nan Ying said bitterly: "This second is not good news, I guess that there must be a huge secret hidden in this mountain, which will attract several people to watch!" ”

Gao Shun lost his voice and said, "What? How many people? Could it be that there is anyone else besides the Heavenly Master Dao? ”

Nanying smiled dumbly: "My good big brother, you seem to have forgotten!" Not long ago, we had already concluded from the sound of the mysterious flute that there must be someone behind the tigers, and from today's attack on Zheng Du, it can be seen that they are by no means the same people! ”

Gao Shun was stunned for a long time, and said bitterly: "Alas! Not bad! Saying that, he clapped his fist with hatred and said: "It's a pity that Zheng Du refuses to tell the truth, we don't know anything about their purpose at all, how can we know who the other force is!" ”

Nan Ying smiled: "Actually, I guess even Zheng Du doesn't know who attacked him is, but it's not difficult to know all this!" ”

Gao Shun's eyes lit up: "Brother Xian, but he already has a good plan?" ”

Nan Ying's eyes flashed with a treacherous color: "What I am most afraid of is that the enemy will not move, because then there will be no trace!" But as soon as the enemy moves, our chance is here! ”

Seeing Gao Shun's blank expression, he said, "That black tiger has helped us a lot tonight!" If you want to fall into the water, you have to fall on it! ”

Gao Shun came to his senses: "Brother Xian wants to lure it in?" ”

Then he smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's not easy!" Brother, you also said that the beast is simply a demon beast! ”

But seeing Nan Ying's leisurely face, he couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You kid is not kind, you obviously have a calculation, but you deliberately don't say it, tricking big brother me!" ”

Nan Ying grinned and said, "Big brother, don't worry! No matter how powerful that beast is, it's just a tiger after all! Brother, I have thousands of years of knowledge and experience, and it is not a piece of cake to deal with it! All we have to do is ......"
