Chapter 309: The Source of the Dao Law (5)
After listening to Ge Hong's reasoning, Bao Gu couldn't help but feel a little admiration in her heart!
Bao Gu has never heard such a complete deduction, and it is meticulous, the structure is complete, and the context is well-founded, if such a deduction is correct, it is simply shocking! And judging from those ancient legends, it can be said completely, is it really the same as what Ge Hong said!?
Thinking of this, Bao Gu couldn't help but ask, "If your guess is correct, where can we find these Dao Dharma sources scattered around?" And I'm sure that no sect will easily provide the Dao system that it has inherited, Ge Hong, this is really too difficult! ”
Ge Hong noticed that Aunt Bao used the word "we", and immediately stopped his words and took a deep look at Aunt Bao......
Aunt Bao didn't realize the intimacy in her words, but just looked at Ge Hong, who was staring at her in a daze, and asked puzzledly, "Did I say something wrong?" ”
Hearing Aunt Bao's question, Ge Hong felt a little out of shape, he slowly removed his gaze from Aunt Bao, and shook his head gently and self-deprecatingly, and replied: "No, what you said is very right, but no matter how difficult things are, people have to do them!" Nowadays, our various schools in Middle-earth are complicated, the system is chaotic, and they are attacking each other, if this goes on for a long time, I think sooner or later there will be other foreign Taoist systems to replace our Middle-earth Taoist system! ”
"What alien way? Do you mean that Buddhism flourished on the steppes (the exact date of the introduction of Buddhism to Middle-earth is still uncertain, and there are many different theories, roughly in the time of the Han Dynasty after BC, but Buddhism on the steppe should have spread earlier, and much earlier)? ”
"Yes, Buddhism is indeed menacing, although it has not yet become a climate in Middle-earth, but as far as I know, this Buddhism has not only flourished in the grasslands, but even the entire Western Regions believe in this religion, and now a large number of monks are constantly entering my Middle-earth to preach!"
"Missionary to my Middle Earth? Since the Qin and Han dynasties, many monks have come to Middle-earth, right? I've heard my father say that this Buddhist system is indeed very broad and profound, and it is good at absorbing the strengths of others, but I have never seen Buddhism threaten our Taoist status. ”
"That's because since the Han Dynasty and my Jin Dynasty, the upper echelons have always respected our Taoism, but now it's different, the Hu people invaded the Central Plains, and the entire Central Plains was plundered by the Hu people, and the Hu people didn't believe in our Taoism, they believed in their paganism!"
"You're right, now the Central Plains has almost changed hands, this kind of thing has never happened since the Qin and Han dynasties, Middle Earth has never encountered such a catastrophe, I heard that the Five Bucket Rice Sect (Five Bucket Rice Dao is also known as Zhengyi, Heavenly Master Dao, Zhengyi Alliance Mighty Dao, is the earliest sect of Taoism) has also moved from the north to the south!"
"Hey, Wudoumi is now taking the old road of Taiping Road (later in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sun En of Wudoumi Sect did revolt in Jiangdong), they want to take advantage of the chaos in the world to win over those ignorant people, this is fighting for power with the emperor, sooner or later I will be implicated in Taoism!"
"Ahh Ge Hong, what you said is the same as what my father said?! ”
"Master Bao also thinks so? Great, it seems that most of my Taoist people still don't agree with this extreme approach! ”
"Well, I don't approve of that either! My father also said that this kind of practice is no longer regarded as our Taoist, but using the name of our Taoist to do some unseemly things, and even using the name of our Taoist to bring disaster to the country and the people, such a person is not only not a Taoist, but also a public enemy of Taoism! ”
"Master Bao Ming, see it!"
"Ge Hong, I listened to your words, and I also feel that our Taoism is indeed suffering from internal and external troubles now, but can this Buddhism really replace our Taoism?"
"Do you know the person Buddha Tucheng?"
"I seem to be a little impressed! According to my father, this man was so profound in Buddhism that when he was in Luoyang, he debated with many people from the Confucian and Taoist schools, and no one defeated him in the debate! ”
"Now that Luoyang has fallen, Buddha Tucheng doesn't know where to go, if he really crosses the river and goes to Jiangdong, he is really the enemy of my Taoism! Oh, by the way, Aunt Bao, I have one more discovery! ”
"What discovery?!"
"I checked the descriptions of merchant totems in ancient books, and I found an unexpected feature!"
"What characteristics?!"
Their totem looks a bit like a swallow, or a human face, with a fish body (fish skeleton), a swallow's tail, and wings (Xu Shen's "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" said: "Phoenix, the divine bird also. Tian Lao said: The image of the phoenix is also, the front and back of the deer, the snake neck fish tail, the back of the dragon turtle, the swallow jaw and the beak of the chicken, the five-color preparation, I personally think that Xu Shen is talking nonsense, the phoenix and the bird are actually different, just look at the totem to know that it can't be pulled, you can Baidu the merchant totem to know), but can you look at it from a different angle? ”
"What angle? Do you think the sages are wrong to think that the merchant totem is a bird? ”
"Yes, the Xuanniao is also called a female bird, it can be seen that it is a problem of pronunciation and transliteration in ancient times, what is the pronunciation in ancient times, we don't know, and only this totem can be referred to, in my opinion, this is a person, a person who has been weird, there is a circle like the sun on the right side of his head, there is a little bit in the circle, if this totem is really a bird, why should it deviate from the direction of the sun? It can be seen that this must be a person, and he is wearing a special garment, which is known from the ornament on their chest, and there is a sun above the right head of this person, which means that they have come from the west to the east! ”
"From the West to the East?! Totem is actually a manifestation of will, do you mean that merchants used this totem to strengthen their will to move east? Ge Hong! What the hell are you trying to say?! ”
"I understand very clearly, since these merchants moved from the West to the East, and they still have writing, could this kind of writing be invented by more Westerners? And they have only inherited part of it, or have they inherited and developed another script from the West?! (The earliest place where systematic written records appeared was in present-day Iran, that is, the Sumerian civilization, roughly around 3200 BC, the earliest systematic cuneiform script appeared, and Iran is one of the Western regions, and it is also the two river basins of the Middle East, Judaism and earlier religions were born in the civilizations of the two river basins)"
"Are you saying that the merchant is from the Western Regions?! Hahaha, Ge Hong...... You're exaggerating! Do they look the same as those Huns?! ”
"That's not necessarily, coming from the Western Regions is not necessarily the same as the Xiongnu (the merchant is not necessarily Caucasian, if the origin of the race is true, it takes more than 500,000 years to slowly migrate from Africa to have three colors of human race!) So the merchant may also be a yellow person who migrated from Africa), it should be similar to us, otherwise it would not have become the Central Plains Dynasty! ”
"Well, that's fine...... However, Ge Hong, if the merchant came from the west, then went to live in the northern steppes of Middle-earth, and then went to the Central Plains because of his merits, then what does it prove? ”
"That means that the systems they brought with Buddhism are likely to come from the same source as the Shang Dynasty sacrificial system!?"
