Zhang Jiao listened to Tang Zhou's words, and the past decades ago flew by from the scenes in front of him like a movie, from the beginning of worshipping the wall of Zhang Daoling, to the five brothers and sisters practicing and learning every day, and then to the death of the master, and passed the position of head of the teacher to the third junior brother Zhang Heng.

Zhang Jiao seemed to be talking to himself, and as if he was talking to everyone, muttering softly, telling many years of grievances and grievances.

Zhang Heng has been bright since childhood, young and erudite, reclusive, and famous in the world. Cultivate to the Tao, not with the world. When the emperor heard that he had a way, he wanted to be recruited as a waiter of the Yellow Gate, but he resigned. After attacking the sect, Juyang Pingshan (now Peng County, Sichuan) taught his disciples with scriptures and demonstrated the way of righteousness. The words are clear, and the listeners have feelings. Until this time, Guo Binfang realized that this Zhang Heng was not better than Zhang Heng.

The famous Zhang Heng (78-139 AD), known as Pingzi, was a great astronomer in the Eastern Han Dynasty of China, and made indelible contributions to the development of Chinese astronomy, mechanical technology and seismology. In mathematics, geography, painting, and literature, Zhang Heng also showed extraordinary talent and extensive knowledge.

Zhang Heng, one of the representatives of the armillary theory in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, pointed out that the moon itself does not emit light, and the moonlight is actually a reflection of sunlight, and he also correctly explained the cause of lunar eclipses. Zhang Heng received many honors and was considered a generalist by some scholars. Some modern scholars have also compared his work to that of Ptolemy (86-161), after whom the asteroid 1802 was named.

However, coincidentally, both Zhang Heng regarded fame and fortune as dung, Zhang Heng was promoted as filial piety during the Han Dynasty and Emperor Yongyuan, but he did not accept it, and the government did not recruit him several times. It's just that in the twelfth year of Yongyuan, at the request of Nanyang Taishou Baode, he became his master bookkeeper and was in charge of clerical work. Eight years later, Bao De was transferred to Beijing, and Zhang Heng resigned and stayed at home.

Later, he was recruited by the bus, and successively served as Langzhong, Taishi Ling, and Shizhong. After serving for three years, he wrote a letter requesting to resign and return home, but was called up as a scholar.

Compared with this inventor and scientist, Zhang Heng, one of the three Taoist teachers who is the father of Zhang Lu and the son of Zhang Daoling, does not seem to be so well-known.

It is true that compared with Zhang Daoling, his father who founded Zhengyi and lived for one hundred and twenty-three years, Zhang Heng's fame is indeed not very big; Compared with his son, Zhang Lu, who had occupied Hanzhong for more than 20 years, greatly spread the influence of the sect, and ruled the local area in a way that was extremely rare in Chinese history.

However, this Zhang Heng is by no means a straw bag, although he has never been out of office, and he has not left too much reputation among the world's corporals, his status in Taoism and even in the rivers and lakes should not be underestimated.

To say that Zhang Lu coincided with troubled times, and was seized by Zhang Xiu, Fang honed his unusual skills and left a great reputation in later generations; Zhang Heng relied on his father's teachings, and left a good story in the Taoist lineage that made cultivators look forward to it.

It has to be mentioned that Zhang Daoling's six children, except for the third son Zhang Quan (in "Zhang Shiquanpu", as Zhang Ji), the information is not very detailed, and the other records are the same.

Zhang Daoling's eldest daughter, Zhang Heng's sister, named Zhang Wenji. The son of Yuan Gong of Shichen County (a Chenzhou), a wealthy family, a good way, the longest marriage, and a long time to hold five sons to heaven.

Zhang Heng, the eldest son of Zhang Daoling, "rises in Yangping Mountain, the sun rises".

The second daughter, Zhang Wenguang, is the princess of Ling (a princess of Guangling), who has committed a crime against her father, does not eat for several months, and ascends to heaven in the daytime. (Three days after the first cloud was introduced, and the sun ascended to heaven in the temple).

Zhang Xian, a cloud of famous virtuous concubines, the third daughter of the heavenly master Zhang Daoling, is the princess of Yan, a good way, a collection of real people's law, and a long time of ascending to heaven in the day (Yiyun persuaded Yan Wang to cultivate the truth and did not obey, that is, it was to ascend. )。

Zhang Zhi, a cloud named Fangzhi, the fourth daughter of the heavenly master Zhang Daoling, has many Taoist skills, the second son of the Duke of Wei (the third son of Yiyun), the husband committed his father's guilt, so he was depressed and unhappy at home, and soared in the back of the house.

It can be said that most of the Zhang family's cultivation has to soar, which can be described as a model of group ascension.

However, according to Zhang Jiao, Zhang Heng has excellent knowledge, extensive travel, and excellent martial arts, which is quite a true biography of Zhang Daoling. Among the five disciples under Zhang Daoling's throne, although he is in the third place, the entry time is quite late, but the martial arts are the highest. Moreover, he is famous in the rivers and lakes, and the travelers he friends with are all talented and outstanding in martial arts. He also has a deep friendship with Yu Zhenzi, the patriarch of the Northern Spear lineage, and his disciples Tong Yuan, Jingmur Mountain Huatuo, Xinglin Holy Hand Dong Feng, and Tiannan Sword Immortal Shixie, and often talks about scriptures and Taoism with a generation of plum blossom boxing grandmaster Huashan Dao Chang Dong Fali.

Therefore, when Zhang Heng was alive, Zhang Xiu, as a senior brother, did not dare to act rashly, and only after his death did he take the position of sect leader with Zhang Lu's young age. However, although Zhang Lu was still young at that time, his martial arts were not weak, coupled with the help of his mother Lu, Zhang Lu finally fled into Shu with the "Three Five Evil Male and Female Sword" and "Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal" symbolizing the authority of the sect.

Speaking of this, Guan Fenglong sighed on the side: "Zhang Lingzhen's demeanor is still in front of me. "Lingzhen is Zhang Heng's expression.

Hearing this, Guo Bin was secretly upset by Zhang Xiu's methods: without the "Three Five Evil Male and Female Swords" and the "Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal" that symbolize the authority of the sect, how did he control the people below?

Subsequently, Zhang Jiao's words solved his problem.

It turned out that Zhang Xiu was a senior brother, and he had assisted Zhang Daoling in managing his disciples since he started. Not only should teachers practice and learn the Tao among their younger brothers and sisters, but they should also take care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation, just like a big housekeeper of Zhengyi, no matter how big or small, everything is concerned. Just when everyone thought that the one who took over the position of head must be the senior brother, Zhang Daoling put down his words: "The position of Shaowu is not passed on to the descendants of my family."

As a result, everyone's eyes on Senior Brother Zhang Xiu were different, from the earlier awe and obedience, to the yang and yin, and even more, they didn't care about what Zhang Xiu said. Soon after, Zhang Daoling died, and passed on the magic weapon that symbolized the authority of the sect to Zhang Heng, so Zhang Heng took over the position of the head of the sect.

The new head of the sect took over, and while everyone was waiting to see Zhang Xiu's jokes, Zhang Heng actually let Zhang Xiu continue to be in charge of all the big and small affairs in the sect, just like before, and he himself devoted himself to cultivation and did not ask about mundane matters. So the rumors of Zhang Xiu's discord with the master were self-defeating, and life seemed to be back to the past.

However, at this time, Zhang Heng, who took over Zhengyi, was already seventy-eight years old, and Zhang Xiu and Zhang Jiao, who were senior brothers, were younger than him. Gain is ranked in the middle of the ranking, all according to the year of apprenticeship, regardless of age. Zhang Heng initially studied the Confucian classics, but gradually became addicted to them, and did not want to learn Zhengyi. Later, I don't know what stimulated me, Fang worshipped his father as a teacher when he was in his thirties, and since then he has devoted himself to Taoism.

Even in today's new society, with such good medical conditions, Zhang Heng's age is extremely high. He died at the age of 99 after 21 years of teaching.

Originally, when Zhang Heng died, he handed over the tokens of the sect "Three Five Evil Male and Female Sword" and "Yangping Zhidu Gong Yin" to Zhang Lu, and let him take over the position of the sect leader. However, at this time, Zhang Lu was still young and difficult to assume the responsibility of being in charge, in order to carry forward the Zhengyi, in order to ensure that its position in the rivers and lakes would not decline from now on, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Jiao conspired to seize the position of the head of the sect, and changed his name from Wang Chang to Zhang Xiu, which was also from this time.

The Zhang family may really be quite talented in Taoism and martial arts, Zhang Lu seems to be particularly lucky to inherit the excellent genes of Zhang Liang, who was only in his twenties, and he really escaped with the head token left by Zhang Heng, and went to Shuzhong with his mother Lu.

Zhang Xiu has been in charge of the affairs of the sect for decades, and has experienced the turmoil when Zhang Heng succeeded to the throne, so he is naturally extremely worried about his status after Zhang Heng's death. Therefore, in the twenty-one years that Zhang Heng was in charge, Zhang practiced fairly, won the hearts of the people everywhere, and the middle and high-level of the sect were promoted by him, and Zhengyi also took root in the land of Xishu and Hanzhong, and Zhengyi at this time has become a behemoth-like existence in the local area.

And Zhang Xiu and Zhang Jiao conspired to take away the position of the head of the sect, according to Zhang Jiao, it was not for their own selfishness.

It is said that the ancestor Zhang Daoling once left a prophecy, saying that the Han family is unstable in the world, and there must be strangers born to turn the tide and save the people from fire and water, otherwise the world will be ruined, mourning will be everywhere, foreign invasion, and the country will not be a country. Although the Ancestral Heavenly Master expected this situation, he did not explicitly say what Zhengyi should do, so before his immortal left, two different currents of thought arose in the Dao.

One is headed by Zhang Heng, advocating seclusion, regardless of the wind, frost, snow and rain outside, I buried myself in the development of Taoism, this school is quite consistent with the Taoist idea of inaction, and it is also consistent with Zhang Heng's character.

The other is based on the elder brother Zhang Xiu (at this time, he was still called Wang Chang, and for the convenience of memory, he was called Zhang Xiu. The same is true about Tang Zhou's office). They advocate actively joining the WTO, striving to develop the WTO, establishing a system of integrating politics and religion, and striving to help the world and save the people. And this kind of thinking is inherited from the Zhengyi system established by Zhang Daoling at the beginning of the Dao.

When Zhang Daoling was alive, these two ideas coexisted, and it was difficult to make a decision if Zhang Daoling was so profound, right? Zhang Jiao undoubtedly supported the ideas of his elder brother Zhang Xiu, and later whether Zhang Xiu reformed Zhengyi into Wudou Rice Dao, or Zhang Jiao founded Taiping Dao and divided the disciples into 36 parties, they were all based on this idea as a theoretical basis and ideological source.

Even in history, after Zhang Lu killed Zhang Xiu and won the position of head of the sect, he also continued to spread the Five Buckets of Rice Dao in Hanzhong, and called himself "Shijun", and his whole set of systems and guiding ideologies are still in line with Zhang Xiu's philosophy.
