Chapter 190: Cultivating a Heavenly Avenue!
PS: This is not Xianxia.
This story has to start from the Southern Song Dynasty. I taught the patriarch Wang Chongyang, with the purpose of "three religions in one", "the truth of the whole Huang Lao" and "bitter self-benefit", went to the ghost road and returned to Laozhuang, and gradually tolerated and merged Taiyi, Zhendao and Jindan Nanzong. Since then, the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism have gradually come to the same end.
Only the Mai faction believed that the teachings of the three religions were different and should not be confused, and the trend of great convergence was already obvious at that time. Mai's faction was weak, so she had no choice but to separate Taoism and set up another portal. From this time on, the two Taoist sects have not been in contact with each other, as the so-called Taoist differences do not conspire with each other.
Taoist cultivation, like other sects, is also divided into innate and acquired. After the death of Chongyang Zixian, the seven sons of Quanzhen sowed the Taoist system and scattered throughout the Central Plains. After the change of dynasties, the rise and fall of the sect has long ceased to be the true prosperity. However, whether it is Mai or the Quanzhen faction, they are divided into lay scholars and monks. To put it bluntly, one is a missionary and an apologetic, and the other is a cultivator like me. β
When Bu Operator said this, he looked at Yang Fan, who was eating melon seeds on the side, and shouted: "I talked so hard, did you listen to it?" Yang Fan responded: "Listen." He didn't know what use Bu Laodao had given him these things, just listen to them as if they were listening to books, and just forget about it.
"Our Quanzhen Dragon Sect is a Taoist system passed down by the ancestor of Qiu Chuji, one of the seven sons of Quanzhen. By the time of Jiajing, the Longmen faction had long since weakened. The first teacher, Zhao Fuyang, received two introductory disciples. I am a monk, my junior brother, Wang Changyue, the seventh-generation lawyer of the Longmen School, is a layman. Senior Brother Wang is different from me, he first participates in the Tao. When he was middle-aged, he worshiped the Longmen sect. My master is extremely cautious when choosing his children. After all, the Taoist system is decaying, and if you are not careful in choosing people, the Taoist system will be overturned. That's to be ashamed of the teacher.
I grew up in the Longmen sect since I was a child. The ancestor said that the roots and bones are wonderful, and he can be a monk. However, he was dissolute and uninhibited by nature, and he was not suitable for the position of lawyer, so he was handed over to Senior Brother Wang as the head. Fortunately, I lived up to Master's expectations of me, and at the age of 40, I broke through the day after tomorrow and stepped into the ranks of grandmasters. At the age of ninety, he cultivated to the congenital upper realm, and smiled proudly. β
"And then?" Yang Fan's untimely question seemed to have a slight contempt. Bu Daoren raised his eyebrows. Sneered: "And then? Lao Dao has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes all his life, and you sue me then? Shouldn't you be in awe after hearing this? The narcissistic Bu Laodao pulled his nose and smiled coldly.
"Is the Innate Realm Fire Gun beaten to death?" Yang Fan asked weakly.
Lao Dao raised his eyebrows. "It's not too dead. But I can hurt it. β
"What about shelling?"
Bu Laodao directly slapped over, slapped Yang Fan's head, and said angrily: "You should be a Daluo Immortal, is there anyone who is immortal with bombardment?" Hearing this, Yang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, it's okay. If this can't even be killed by cannons, Yang Fan really has the idea of cultivating on the mountain.
Bu Operator saw Yang Fan's careful thoughts. smiled coldly and said, "But the bomb can't hit it." Not necessarily. Yang Fan said casually: "A hundred cannons, plus a thousand musket battalions, still can't hit?" "The old Tao is stagnant, how can this kid know how to raise the bar? It's so ignorant.
He calmed down and said, "That's not so exaggerated, not to mention a thousand musket battalions, even a thousand archers, which is enough to choke at a relatively close distance." After all, internal strength and martial arts are not thaumaturgy that can be cultivated to achieve the incorruptible body of Vajra. β
"Is the story finished? If it's a senior, it's fine. I've drunk the wine that should have been drunk, and I've talked about the nonsense that should have been told, and I'm really going back if it's okay. β
Bu Laodao slapped the table and said, "Listen to me!" β
"When I was younger, I also asked Master this question. Since you can't even carry guns and can't even carry guns and cannons when you cultivate the Tao and practice martial arts, what kind of Tao and martial arts do you practice? Master told me that cultivating the Tao is one of cultivating the state of mind, and the second is cultivating longevity. At first, I thought that the two were different, but it was not until later that I realized that they were actually the same path. When the state of mind is attained to be fully consummated, this innate great perfection will come naturally.
But how many people can really achieve Great Perfection? Even if you are born with great perfection, you can't escape the cycle of life and death. Master's last words to me were that if you cultivate a path to heaven, you will be able to attain immortality. I don't know when, this word reached the ears of Jiajing Ye, and he was going to cultivate in Xiyuan. The family teacher received the holy decree and replied to the letter, dissuading Jiajing Ye from cultivating the Tao in his heart, when he became the emperor, he had to put state affairs first, how could he waste the foundation of the country?
But later, Jiajing Ye still cultivated the Tao. Don't think that it is circulated in the history books, deceived by Fangshi, Jiajing Ye is not so stupid, he has been cultivating in Xiyuan for 20 years, is it possible that he can't even tell the truth from the false? Since Renzong, the life span of the Ming Emperors has been extremely short, so Jiajing Ye wants to cultivate the Tao to live forever. However, after twenty years, it is only the day after tomorrow, and in the end, there is still no immortality.
Since Long Qingye ascended the throne, both the imperial court and our Taoism have been silent about the statement that they have cultivated the Great Perfection of the heavens, and they dare not mention it again. Jiajing Ye is a wise gentleman, even if he cultivates in Xiyuan, he is also diligent in political affairs, and he did not waste state affairs with this, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. β
Yang Fan was puzzled: "According to folk legends, Sejong died of taking too much arsenic and cinnabar, is there also a secret?" Bu Laodao smiled: "Let you eat cinnabar, will you eat it?" Jiajingye's diet is tested for drugs by a special person. As soon as this arsenic is blackened by the silver needles, it is known that it is poisonous, how dare those monks really give the emperor something to eat? It is probably replaced by some ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum and other supplements, ground into powder, and made into pills. β
Since the Ming Dynasty became an ancestor, Yang Fan knew about the short-lived life of the Ming Dynasty emperor. The short ones died in their twenties, and the long ones were only in their forties, and only when they arrived at Emperor Jiajing did there be an emperor who lived past the age of sixty. Sixty years old, even among all the emperors of the past dynasties, is considered a relatively large age, not a short life. Could it be that this really has something to do with monasticism? That's so wicked, isn't it?
However, Bu Laodao's next words made Yang Fan feel even more creepy.
"Don't think that Jiajing Ye has lived past the age of sixty, which means that he has achieved the merit of the Great Perfection of the Day After Tomorrow. Sue sΓΉ, before entering the congenital, there will be no change in lifespan at all, not to mention like Jiajing Ye, while taking care of government affairs, while cultivating the Tao, how can the state of mind be improved? No more than five people in the world know the secret. β
For this kind of appetite behavior, Yang Fan usually adopts the method of cold noodles. The more you want to know, the more anxious you become, and the more some sluts don't tell you, smiling on the side, waiting for you to beg him. (To be continued......)
