Lao Tzu, surname unknown, life unknown, founder of the Taoist school.

Regarding the record of Lao Tzu, there is only a vague heavenly sage, who once served as a sacrificial wine in Luoyi Xuegong, once rode a bull through Hangu, and had purple qi coming from the east.

When Lao Tzu rode a green ox across the Han Valley, he met an old man who was more than 100 years old and had a childish face. After learning that it was Lao Tzu, the old man gave Lao Tzu a slight salute and said: "I heard that Mr. is erudite and talented, and he has a doubt, please give me some advice." ”

Lao Tzu returned the salute, and the old man said proudly: "The old man is already six out of a hundred this year." To be honest, I've been idle since I was younger. People of my age have not lived in ancient times, they have cultivated a hundred acres of fertile fields but have not tasted the taste of grains, built four houses or buried in the wilderness, they have earned immortal family business and have not lived as long as me. As for me, although I have not had a good harvest all my life, I can still swallow grains; Although there is not a single brick or tile, he still lives in a sheltered house; Although I haven't earned a stitch, I can still wear warmth.

Sir, you are a saint, can you judge me for my inaction or for them to be sad? ”

After listening to this, Lao Tzu quietly found a brick and a stone, and he asked, "One brick and one stone, how will you choose?"

Without thinking, the old man pointed to the bricks and said, "Naturally choose bricks."

Lao Tzu stroked his beard and looked at the old man with a smile, and the old man understood the meaning in his eyes, and said: "Under the trade-off, bricks can be used to build houses, and stones can only be discarded."

The onlookers also echoed the heavy responsibility, saying that they wanted bricks instead of stones.

Lao Tzu said: "What is the life of bricks? What is the lifespan of a stone? Bricks and stones are not about the length of their life, but about the value of their existence. It's the same with people, how long do King Wen and Boqi live? But the people remember them. ”

The old man was suddenly ashamed, and respectfully sent Lao Tzu out of the valley.

Lao Tzu has two apprentices, the first disciple Lang Xuan, and the second disciple Yin Yin.

After Lao Tzu returned to seclusion, Lang Xuan served as the sacrificial wine of Luoyi Xuegong, and was summoned by Li Tianzi to enter the Li capital and was worshiped as a prince.

Lang Xuan served the two Sons of Heaven successively, but unfortunately died when crossing Luoshui, and his bones were gone.

Yin Yin, a native of Lu and a saint of the Taoist school, Yin Yin succeeded to the throne after Lang Xuan resigned from the position of sacrificial wine in Luoyi School Palace, and was favored by King Chai Kao of Lu and served as the Taishi of Lu State.

Lao Tzu's first disciple Lang Xuan is too mysterious, so mysterious that his life is in a state of confusion.

His talent is too intelligent, and he perfectly inherited the Taoist school of Lao Tzu, and even if he lived in seclusion in the distant Liangzhou Shu Kingdom, he was more well-known than Yin Yin.

After Lao Tzu, there were only two Taoist saints left in the world, and both of them were his disciples.

Lang Xuan's pseudonym Xuanlang often haunts Mount Emei, and is called a fairy by the people under the mountain; Yin Yin has lived in seclusion all year round and asked about the mountain.

Regarding Yin Yin, he served as the prince of Lu State without merit or fault, but he entered Lu twice to establish King Lu, which is really a high look.

King Lu Chai Kao died, Gongzi Hai was in Ludu, and Gongzi Xiaobai was nowhere to be found. But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Gongzihai's succession is a foolproof thing.

Twenty miles outside Ludu, there was an ox cart slowly coming. The driver was a young man in sackcloth, and there was a strange old man lying on the ox cart, drinking with a gourd in his left hand and a bamboo slip in his right hand preaching.

"Doing nothing is not doing nothing, doing but not doing." The strange old man took a sip of wine and said a word. The young man read it again and remembered it in his heart.

"Copper and iron do not forge swords, and the farmer cannot eat." The old man took another sip and said another. The young man read it again and remembered it in his heart.

"Silk can be warm, hemp can also be warm, clothes are silk and linen, not as good as clothes and linen." When the old man finished speaking, he ran out of wine and fell asleep soundly.

The ox cart is stable, steady is slow, slow is natural, nature is the avenue, the avenue is simple, and the avenue is inactive.

"Slow down, slow down." The old man probably didn't fall asleep because he hated the bumps.

The young man has a very good temperament, and he does not control oxen. The cows flick their tails and graze, turning out new shoots from a thin layer of snow, chewing and swallowing slowly, unhurriedly.

One cow and two people, slowly and leisurely, thirty miles a day, is really slow.

Even if there were still twenty miles left from Ludu, it was also grinding until noon on the second day, and it was already after the young man had thrown a few whips, and the ox had quickened his pace. The ox cart creaked and creaked, and there were traces of the snow, stretching from Wendao Mountain to Ludu.

"Master, it's here." The young man called softly.

The old man sat in an ox cart, straightened his clothes, held a gourd in his left hand, and lost a drop of wine; Holding a bamboo slip in his right hand, not a word was missing. The young man drove into the city, and if there was no one around, 100,000 soldiers were waiting for him, and no one dared to stop him.

The ox cart entered Ludu, and then entered the palace, until outside the palace, it stopped.

The Manchu scholars, together with Gongzi Hai, Wu and Ai, all saluted the old man.

"Taishi, the first king died, and Gongzi Hai should be established as a concubine, this is the rule." Taibao Lu Xu said.

"The Son of Heaven has been abolished, and he should be Xiaobai again." Taifu Aiqu argued.

"Xiaobai." Yin Yin called out.

The young man walked over, Yin Yin turned around and walked out of the main hall, and everyone didn't know why.

Mrs. Wu's face changed drastically, and she asked, "Taishi, why is Xiaobai and Hai is the eldest son."

Yin Yin beckoned Gongzihai to come over, and Gongzihai showed joy and trotted all the way.

"How about you driving for me?" Yin Yin said.

Gongzihai's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

Yin Yin drove and drove away, just a word, only two words, that's all.

Gongzi Xiaobai succeeded to the throne, and he drove for Yin Yin for three years. Gongzihai disappeared, and Xiaobai visited Yin Yin several times after succeeding to the throne, but he never saw the sea.

Xiaobai was called the emperor, Yin Yin pushed the door out, looked at the east, stroked the snowflakes on Yin Hai's body, and said warmly: "Hai, it's time to go down the mountain."

"Master," Yin Hai said with a look of embarrassment, "the sea doesn't want to go down the mountain. ”

Hai didn't want to go down the mountain, he fell in love with someone, a girl named Momo, who was still his junior sister.

"Jiang Jue has already gone down the mountain to help morality, and I have Tao'er to accompany me to study diligently, what do I want you to do?" Yin Yin scolded, "Drive, go to Ludu." ”

A hundred miles east of the Asking Mountain is Ludu, and an ox cart squirms slowly. No matter how reluctant Hai is, he still drives for Yin Yin, he understands the master.

"Doing nothing is not doing nothing, doing but not doing." Yin Yin took a sip of wine and said a word. Yin Hai read it again and remembered it in his heart.

In the eyes of outsiders, Yin Yin, the Taishi of Lu Guo, is a false position, only Hai knows that Yin Yin seems to be inactive, but in fact he is promising.

"Copper and iron do not forge swords, and the farmer cannot eat." Yin Yin took another sip and said another word. Yin Hai read it again and remembered it in his heart.

Copper and iron do not cast sword soldiers? It is also possible to cast sickles.

"Silk can be warm, hemp can also be warm, clothes are silk and linen, not as good as clothes and linen." After Yin Yin finished speaking, he ran out of wine and fell asleep soundly.

Silk can be warm, hemp can also be warm, but nine times out of ten people in the world love hemp does not love hemp.

The ox cart is stable, steady is slow, slow is natural, nature is the avenue, the avenue is simple, and the avenue is inactive.

"Slow down, slow down." Yin Yin probably hated the bumps and didn't fall asleep.

Yin Hai has an excellent temperament, and he doesn't control cattle. The cow flicks its tail and grazes, turns out new sprouts from a thin layer of soil, chews it slowly, and is unhurried.

One cow and two people, slowly and leisurely, thirty miles a day, is really slow.

"Master, Lu Du has arrived." Yin Hai stopped the oxcart and shouted.

Yin Yin got up from the ox cart and waited and waited until the Ludu guards were impatient and he was still waiting.

"Master waiting for someone?" Yin Hai asked.

There were three people riding horses, an old man with the same white hair as Yin Yin, a handsome middle-aged man dressed in white, and a girl who could fall into the country or the city.

Yin Yin respectfully shouted, "Senior brother."

Yin Hai also saluted and shouted, "Hai has seen Uncle Lang and Bai Sheng."

"Hai, how many years have you been driving the car for me?" Yin Yin asked.

Yin Hai thought for a moment and replied, "Six years."

"Originally, as long as you drove for three years, you were really stupid," Yin Yin and Xuan Lang walked side by side, and said loudly, "If you are dull, you can be a good monarch." ”

At the gate of Ludu City, the Eastern Emperor Xiaobai's face was pale, and he still arched his hand towards Yin Yin and said, "Xiaobai has seen the Taishi."

Standing behind the Eastern Emperor Xiaobai is Ai Shi, the beast master of the Northern Plains, who is now the general of the Lu Kingdom, he glanced at Fu Bai who was dressed in white, and then stepped aside.

So in front of the nobles of Ludu and the guards, Yin Yin and his party swaggered into the palace, and no one dared to stop them.

Hai succeeded to the throne, he was not happy, and even when he looked at the buttocks that were crawling under his feet and pouted as high as possible, he was disgusted, he took the ivory and dragged the white jade plate, and suddenly remembered the cabbage radish in the Dao Mountain.

Yin Yin really did nothing in this life, and only did two major things in total, which caused two shocks in the country of Lu.

Lang Xuan, or Xuan Lang, is much more clever than Yin Yin. He retreated bravely, retreated without hiding, and even said that his protégés were all over the world.

Regarding the speculation that Lang Xuan would retire without hiding, Meng Lan thought that in the past, Da Li was in decline, and Tai Shi Zi Chou left the Luoyi School Palace, and Tai Fu Lang Xuan was naturally anxious to return to Qishan Sword Pavilion, but he was unable to get out.

It happened that Song Xiao had a crooked thought, and Lang Xuan happily calculated it, and the golden cicada came out of its shell, and since then Lang Xuan has died, leaving only Xuan Lang.

Xuanlang (hereinafter referred to as Xuanlang) is the master of the Qishan Sword Pavilion, and it is unknown when he took over, and even when Xuanlang was still in Lidu, he did not have any martial arts foundation, and he did not show up.

But it is a fact that Xuan Lang is the master of the Qishan Sword Pavilion, and his first batch of disciples are the disciples of the Four Elephants of the Qishan Sword Pavilion who are known for their martial arts, including the hidden dragon Fubai.

According to the clues, the disciples taught by Xuan Lang in the Qishan Sword Pavilion were around 100 people. Xiao Fa Zhongshan, He Tianzi and Taishizi Chou took three jade Jue to Qishan Sword Pavilion to ask to see Xuanlang, Qishan Sword Pavilion exhausted, more than 100 people survived only one Fubai, and only one Fubai became famous.

According to the clues, the Qishan Sword Pavilion has been dilapidated, and only the first vein of the four elephants has been inherited intact, and the other three veins have all defected.

Xuan Lang, as the master of the Qishan Sword Pavilion, did not show up when He Tianzi visited, and he still did not show up when Song Xiao, the king of Song, visited, and even he wavered in the position of the Qishan Sword Pavilion.

The second batch of Xuanlang's disciples are the hundred schools of Zhuzi, perhaps including Zi Xiu, the disciple of Zi Chou, the peasant sage Miao of the Chu State, the sage Mu Er of the Chu State, and Zou Gu of the Song State.

Xuanlang inherited Lao Tzu's Taoist teachings, but never heard that Huang Lao's learning was not passed on to others, Meng Lan guessed that Xuanlang's mantle was Zi Xiu, the son of Zi Chou.

First, Zixiu is undoubtedly the son of Zichou, but neither Meng Lan nor Zou Gu knew about this relationship, and even Zou Gu and Meng Lan saw Zixiu in Jueshan when they were young, and Zixiu said that he and Zichou did not know each other.

Although Zichou and Zixiu have not admitted it, the two are only a few miles apart, and they have the same surname, and Zikuang led to Zixiu's death when he proved that Crazy Erjue was Zichou's descendant when he was in the first Luoyi School Palace Alliance.

Zixiu refused to admit his relationship with Zichou, and naturally he would not learn the way of a gentleman.

Second, Zou Gu and Meng Lan had a short experience of getting along with Zixiu, and when he was smiling and smiling, Zixiu's words were full of Huang Lao's learning. Meng Lan also praised Zixiu as "hidden in the city".

Third, Xuanlang is the most arrogant, why is he willing to marry his only daughter to Zixiu? If Zi Xiu only relies on Zi Chou's name to deceive, I am afraid that he will not be able to pass the level of Xuanlang, and he may even be able to contact Xuanlang's daughter and be consensual, I am afraid that they will have to get along day and night.

Therefore, Meng Lan speculated that Zi Xiu, the son of Zi Chou, inherited Xuanlang's Huang Lao's learning.

As for Xuanlang, it is not groundless that he is still the two teachers of the north and the south.

Zou Gu personally admitted that he had studied under Xuanlang before the destruction of the Li capital, and Xuanlang also acquiesced to this.

As for Muer, he was originally from Xiao Guo, and after the collapse of Xiao Guo, he began to study abroad, and was fortunate to follow Xuanlang's side for several years and learned the art of vertical and horizontal.

Among the hundred sons, Xuanlang also has a protégé, the peasant sage Miao of the Chu State.

According to Miao Miao, the granddaughter of Miao Sheng, Miao was looking for wild rice seeds in Daze after being appreciated by Xiong Ran, cultivating good seeds, and happened to meet a fairy wind bone Lao Tzu Yizhou Daze.

"The agricultural road is not only the royal road, the harvest of grains, there is no regret in health and death, there is no regret in health and death, and the beginning of the royal road."

"To govern agriculture is to govern the people, no hard work, no harvest. Never stop ploughing and governing the people. ”

……

This immortal talked with Miao cordially for a day and gave Miao guidance. Miao was originally just ignorant of farmers, and he never linked agricultural affairs with state affairs. After returning to Yingdu, Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, discussed political affairs with Miao for three days and three nights, and then enshrined Miao Sheng as a peasant saint.

Miao Sheng's proposition is "to teach agriculture and mulberry, raise the people, and lightly pay for the endowment, and the agricultural road is the royal road." ”

Xiong Ran began to carry out a large-scale persuasion of agriculture and mulberry and suppressed merchants, why was the Chu State able to raise 800,000 male soldiers? Miao Sheng's contribution is indispensable.

With the good seeds of seedlings and the decree of the king of Chu, the Chu people ended the history of eating corn within three years, laying a solid foundation for the strength and prosperity of the Chu state.

More importantly, the light and thin endowment allowed the Chu people to live and die without regrets, the same is the conquest, the Song people did not return under Song Xiao's high-pressure policy, and the Chu people were favored by Xiong Ran, whether it was Nanzhao, Nanyang and other descendants of Nanjing or Sanmiao, Baiyue and other foreign countries were assimilated into the Chu people.

After Miao Sheng's death, Xiong Ran often talked about how the greatest contributor to the strength of the Chu Dynasty was not the six generations of Ming Jun's blue wisps, not the fortification of the city with the four expeditions and four towns, not the dedication of the temple nobles and the national teacher Muer, nor his Xiong Ran's cultural and martial arts, but Miao Sheng.

If it weren't for Miao Sheng's cultivation of improved seeds, the productivity of Chu land jumped from the bottom to more than twice that of Yuzhou, and I am afraid that the rise of Chu would have been delayed for fifty years. If it weren't for Miao Sheng's peasant thoughts, which made the people of Chu want, I am afraid that the Chu State would follow in the footsteps of the Song State.

Lang Xuan's third batch of disciples were martial artists who did not belong to the Luoyi Academy. Including the idle son of the Li Dynasty who lived in seclusion in Bashan, the husband of the overlord of Jing Chu, and the minister of defense.

Taoyao swordsmanship is owned by Qishan Sword Pavilion, although Li Du nobles have also learned some fur, but in addition to Qishan Sword Pavilion, there is only an idle son with a pseudonym peach blossom farmer.

Meng Lan thought that Bashan was adjacent to the western part of the fang, and the peach blossom farmer's peach sword technique should be taught by Fu Bai.

As for the mistake of Jing Chu overlord and the way of defense, Yu Chen is a protégé of Xuanlang, and he has to start with Miao Sheng's cultivation of good breeds in Daze.

Xiong Ran was obviously worried about Miao's safety, so he sent his rechen and her husband to follow.

The husband is wrong to be behind the door, but unfortunately the family marksmanship is only half a book.

There is a storm in Daze, thunder and light, the dragon soars, the husband through the rain curtain, see a boating Daze leisurely old man, thought that the man of God, so on the shore respectfully waited.

Fu Cuo always felt that the realm of the Martial Saint was boasted by the Houthis, otherwise why did few people in the huge Central Plains reach the realm of the Martial Saint?

Today's husband mistakenly believes that there is a martial saint, at least this immortal in front of him has great divine power.

The husband watched the white-haired immortal singing in the boat, and Daze had a dragon to make monstrous waves, and he did not move, as if he were walking on the ground. On the verge of capsizing, the boat is not the same as the waves, and it will capsize as long as he takes a breath. But this boat did not capsize, the white-haired immortal danced with a sword, slashed the dragon in front, killed the water monster in the back, connected to the thunder in the sky, and stopped the flood below.

The husband is silent, what kind of means do you need to fight with the dragon monster and fight with heaven and earth?

The white-haired immortal won the battle, and the dragon and the hideous water monster fell to the bottom of the lake, splashing monstrous waves, and the blood stained half of Daze red. The lightning and thunder stopped abruptly, and the raging Daze returned to calm.

Fu Cao swallowed his saliva with difficulty, he had never seen the Martial Saint, but he had seen the Immortal.

In the pleased gaze of the husband, the white-haired immortal came by treading water, not by boat. He casually folded a bunch of reeds and began to demonstrate the full overlord marksmanship.

Fu Cuo was shocked, the overlord marksmanship twelve styles he only knew the first six styles, there were immortals preaching, Fu Cuo didn't dare to miss any detail. The white-haired immortal tirelessly performed the twelve styles of the overlord marksmanship, and after the husband was familiar with it, he tread water and left.

Also receiving the favor was the retainers. Yu Chen is a Sanmiao person, to be precise, a Sanmiao dead soldier who has been cultivated since childhood, and he has no expertise except for the rude way of assassination.

"What do you want to learn, Lyrician?" The white-haired immortal spoke.

"Immortals, if I can, I will learn the art of protecting others." Ren Chen wants to protect Xiong Ran, because Xiong Ran wants the world to be fed.

The Sword of Guardian was too obscure, the Borage was too poorly understood, and the white-haired immortal taught him the way to defend.

Regarding Xuanlang's life experience, Meng Lan really couldn't find any evidence of clues, and Meng Lan boldly guessed that Xuanlang was incarnated by Boqi, the first saint of the ages, in order to cast another Tongtian spell when the Great Li Guozuo was approaching.

Xuan Lang is too illusory and ethereal, and he has involved in papers, Huang Lao's learning, vertical and horizontal techniques, and peasant thoughts; In terms of martial arts, Xuanlang trained countless masters such as Fubai, Lichen, Fucuo, Peach Blossom Nong, Jiang Jue and Yuchan.
