Chapter 164: No Immortal Cultivation for the Time Being
"Lord Wang, Yuan Shao is indeed dead, so Poor Dao will go and get his corpse." After that, he turned around and left.
"Are you just looking for an excuse, want to slip away, and be a fool of this king? Evil, you give me an inch-inch-inch, to see what tricks he can play. ”
"Yes, my lord." Dian Wei stood up and took the order.
After that, Zuo Ci followed Dian Wei out of the lobby, and the two went out of the door directly, and walked straight out of ten zhang away, Zuo Ci felt the feeling of true qi returning to his body and said, "It's still comfortable with mana!"
After speaking, he said to Dian Wei, "The general is here for a while, and the poor road will go back when he goes." ”
Dian Wei was even more shocked when he looked at Zuo Ci who suddenly disappeared, but he directly ignored Zuo Ci's words, who would stand stupidly in the heavy rain and get drenched in the rain! Dian Wei himself hurriedly ran back to the gate of the palace to avoid the rain.
After half an hour, Zuo Ci appeared at the door again, not choosing a place, seeing that Dian Wei was not waiting for him, and saw Dian Wei standing at the door in front of him, so he shouted loudly, "Big man, don't you know how to pick up people?" Bully me lame!" Zuo Ci was also depressed, he originally had mana, and he could become no different from ordinary people, but now that he had just appeared around Chu Xiong, his mana was instantly suppressed again. It's not convenient to do anything by yourself as a cripple.
Dian Wei saw a person carrying a person suddenly appear in front of him, and knew that it was Zuo Ci who came back, so he hurriedly rushed over in the rain again and took the corpse. With a limping Zuo Ci, he entered the palace to find Chu Xiong.
When I saw Zuo Ci coming back with such a limp, I also sighed in my heart, it is really not easy to be an immortal! Before they entered, I found that Dian Wei was mixed with rain, and Zuo Ci was still dry.
When they came over and put the body on the ground, I took a closer look, and it was really Yuan Shao, but his face and body were a little swollen with blisters.
Thinking about the sudden death of someone who has been against him for so many years, I feel really lost.
Since I am sure that this Zuo Ci has real skills, then there are really immortals in this world, I worship him as a teacher, and it is not a loss to guide me to practice, although I don't know about cultivating immortals, but I still know that mortals must be very small for immortals.
"Immortal Chief, this person is indeed Yuan Shao, but I don't know how he died, and why you never got drenched in the rain." Although I, the 'atheist' from later generations, suddenly knew that there were really gods in this world, but that kind of surprise, I don't have it now, I suddenly appeared in this space, this era, after so many years, I am not surprised.
"Hehe, the prince is still very curious about the poor road! Actually, it's nothing, although my mana is close to you and it is suppressed, but I have a magic weapon that can avoid water, this artifact is called the water avoidance bead, which is the divine object of my Tianzhu Mountain, but as long as the prince is willing to apprentice, I will give him to you. Zuo Ci said and took out a bead from his chest to show off.
"Tell me, why do you have to ask this king to worship you as a teacher?" I don't believe that this Zuo Ci is so kind, I just made a request, and he quickly completed it, and tempted me with treasures to apprentice, if he hadn't tempted me, I might have been my own apprentice.
"Hehe, the prince is really discerning! In fact, the prince was originally half a disciple of the poor Dao, and the five fowl drama that the prince learned from Hua Tuo was actually the cultivation ** "Five Elements Decision" that the poor Dao taught to Hua Tuo back then. The poor way has been waiting for you for ten years, just to wait for the prince to cultivate the five elements to build the foundation, and the poor way needs the prince's status now. ”
"Oh, are you saying that this king has cultivated your **, and he has cultivated to the foundation, but I don't know, what level of foundation building are you? What's the use of your need for the status of this king, and do you need to recognize an apprentice to do things?" I looked at the embarrassed Zuo Ci in surprise and said.
"Lord Wang, the level of cultivating immortals will only tell the Lord when the Lord will apprentice, and what I want the Lord to do is to revitalize Taoism."
Since Zhang Daoling founded Taoism, Taoism in the Middle Earth exhibition has been very smooth, after all, the people of this country, still need religious worship very much, Confucianism is political belief can not replace religious beliefs, Buddhism spread from the Tianzhu Hu people by most Han people despised the slow development, Taoism has a good beginning, but at this time there appeared a character Zhang Jiao, originally he did a good job of Taiping Taoism, do not like the later generations of the cult leader Hong Xiuquan and others to get a scripture and want to rebel, Taoism can still be greatly developed in his hands, but unfortunately Zhang Jiao's person is not only old and frail, but also ambitious and ambitious, and only regards Taoism as a tool to win over the rebels, because of his rebellion, the good Taiping Dao was defeated by the imperial court, and only Zhang Lu's five buckets of rice were left, and Taoism fell into a trough in history.
What I'm thinking about now is not how to revitalize Taoism for Zuo Ci, but how to revitalize Taoism, what is good for me, don't say that I can follow Zuo Ci to cultivate into an immortal and live forever, this is actually not important to me now. What I want now is only to lead my civil and military generals to unify China, conquer the barbarians in all directions, and make the world surrender at my feet. It just so happens that I can live forever now, and I don't have to be a hero like Qin Shi Huang, so I can first win the world and seek immortality. Therefore, cultivating immortals doesn't mean anything to me!
I am now a ruler, and everything I need can help me manage the country and the people, if this Taoism will still develop into Zhang Jiao's Taiping Sect, then I can kill Zuo Ci now and cut off his Taoist roots.
This Taoism is a native religion of China, the Eastern Han Dynasty arose in the folk, founded by Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of Zhang Lu, the leader of the current Wudou Midao, the Taoist thought of Taoism comes from the Taoist thought of Laozi Li Dan and Zhuangzi Zhuang Zhou during the Warring States Period and the immortal magic of the pre-Qin Dynasty, it advocates self-cultivation and self-cultivation, refining pills, in order to become immortals.
The classic work of Taoism, the Tao Te Ching, is good, the basic teachings of Taoism are also good, and the concept of self-cultivation and the pursuit of Taoism can also be extended and transformed into a positive outlook on life, worldview, and values.
Since the failure of the Taiping Dao riot in Zhangjiao, Taoism has been strongly suppressed by the government, but at this time, Buddhism that was introduced to the Eastern Han Dynasty flourished, spread to various states and counties, and naturally also spread to my ruling area, but because there were temples everywhere in later generations, I didn't care.
Buddhism, this religion is still very deep in its connotation, and it also has its significance, but most of the people in the lay do not have this understanding, they can not understand the true essence of Buddhism, can only be violated by the negative thoughts of Buddhism, and most Chinese believe in Buddhism is to talk about "temporary Buddha's feet", no one really believes in Buddhism, not only China, other countries that believe in Buddhism very much, now they are backward and do not look good, look at those small countries in Southeast Asia.
Later, I found out that Buddhism had more bad influence on the Eastern Han Dynasty than good, not only in terms of ideological anesthesia and restraint of ordinary people, but also that it also had a very bad impact on the socio-economic and political affairs of my rule. And the Buddha has seven or eight points.
Of course, I was very unhappy with this, and sent a large army to pursue and suppress the Buddhists in the territory, raze the temples, and I was too lazy to take care of the monks who heard the news and escaped from the territory under my rule, and for the people who believed in Buddhism, all the household registration was cancelled and the people were expelled, but fortunately, the people of the two states were rich under my rule, and there were not many people who believed in Buddhism and believed in the negative thoughts that did not enter the stream.
However, I later discovered that even if I could kill all those Buddhists, it would be a symptom rather than a cure, and the way to cure the root cause was to establish a holistic and positive religion to replace Buddhism and even become the state religion of China.
Now that Zuo Ci wants to revitalize Taoism, I can improve Taoism and make this locally produced religion play its due role.
Taoism is to be reformed, especially Zhang Jiao used the Taiping Taoism of the Taoist faction to rebel, so that all the princes and people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty had a prejudice against Taoism.
After that, I took Zuo Ci and the two of us together to talk about how to practice religion, and we talked for three days and three nights, and for my current body, it is not a big deal not to sleep for a few days.
I will discuss together what I know about Christianity, which is now flourishing in Rome in the West, a religion that is beginning to flourish in the Middle East, and Buddhism that has infiltrated Middle-earth, analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each religion, and point out the fatal flaws of home-grown Taoism.
Zuo Ci surrendered and decided to work with me to reform Taoism and improve Taoism into a religion that was subject to my management, a religion that was accepted by the Han people and had a strong impetus for the Han people to expand their living space and accumulate virtue through goodness.
Although I have no intention of cultivating the Tao now, and I refuse to worship him as a teacher, Zuo Ci still said that he would wait for me for fifty years, and for those who cultivate the Tao, fifty years is actually very short.
He also said that after a few decades, I would not be so attached to this power, these relatives and friends, at that time, the people around me who fought with me died one by one, and I want to beat Zuo Ci when I think about it now, so that I will inevitably suffer in my heart in the next few decades.
After that, I named Zuo Ci as the Protector of the Immortal Master, and led the Taoist priests of the world, no matter what sect the Taoist priests, all of them were under the jurisdiction of Zuo Ci. In fact, I am now the king of Chu, and that Zhuo County is my feudal country, but I have never called it Chu State.
After Zuo Ci was promoted to the national teacher, the first thing he did was to recruit all the Taoist priests who had magic and Taoism in the whole world to the hidden capital, and those who did not report to the hidden capital within six months were regarded as evil crooked ways, and the whole world was unified against them.
Now Chu Xiong governs Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Jizhou, with seven or eight hundred thousand regular troops and nearly one million county and township soldiers under his command, and the military authority is the first in the world.
Back to a few days ago, Jizhou Leling Ferry.
