Chapter 112: The Assembly of Ten Thousand Laws
Time entered the winter of the third year of Shaoding, Yuhang ushered in the first snow since the beginning of winter, the snow was very small, and the next day it completely disappeared without a trace, if it were not for the cold wind, and the road surface was wet with the snow water, people did not realize that there was a snow last night has come to this world. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Yu Hang came in very lively, and further washed away the traces of the snow. Baiyun Palace held a conference of ten thousand laws, inviting Taoists from all over the world to come to discuss the Tao, not only the Southern Song Dynasty Sanshan Fu Seal School of the head of the sect came in person, the head of the Quanzhen Sect in the north Yi Zhiping also came, yes, it is Jin Yong's dragon knight Yi Zhiping, but people are not as unbearable as Jin Yong's old man wrote, but the northern Taoist bull ear, highly respected, close to the ancient, but Gao Linmen, the master of the Maoshan faction, personally came to the door to invite.
Taoism is three religions and nine streams, but all those who have a little face are invited to the Baiyun Palace, Taoism in the Song Dynasty developed rapidly, just in the history of the reputation of the school is more than ten, other small schools that do not enter the stream more, each faction not only believes in the classics are different, to the Lingbao faction respect the "Lingbao Sutra", the Shangqing faction believes in the "Shangqing Dadong Sutra", the Jingming faction is to the "Jingming Zhongxiao Quanshu" as the classics and so on, there is no unified system at all. The most important thing is that the creation gods revered by each faction are different, and the Sanqing theory has not yet become the mainstream during this period.
The Lingbao faction itself created a Yuan Shi Tianzun as a god to worship, and the Shangqing faction made a Yuan Shi Tianwang, Taishang Dao Jun (Lingbao Tianzun) was listed as the main god, and the Quanzhen Sect respected Taishang Laojun (Daode Tianzun) as the main god. Therefore, Taoism gradually failed to play Buddhism in the later period, and there are also reasons for this, even their own family members are arguing, how can they compete with other religions? During this period, as long as a person can lie that he met an immortal in his own family, he dared to change into a patriarch when he was awarded a fairy book, and this is the case with the Tianxian faction, the patriarch of the mountain is a county history, because he was dreamed by the gods and had an epiphany, and created the "Tianxin Sutra Rectification" to become a generation of ancestors.
After these schools passed through the Yuan Dynasty, they gradually integrated themselves into a Zhengyi that has been passed down to this day, so Zhao Zheng's integration of Taoism is not a fantasy thing, he has become famous in the Southern Song Dynasty, and there is a faint tendency to hold the southern Taoism bull's ear, plus the Maoshan sect master personally invited him, Taoism these people will give face.
Baiyun Palace has full authority to entertain them, let them feel the most cutting-edge life technology of the Great Song Dynasty, flush toilets, shower heads, the novelty brought by them has enough to talk about for several days, and the luxury of the glass windows makes them smack. Jicheng Academy has also been open to these Taoist priests for free in the past few days, and the novelty in it has completely given this group of turtles a huge shock.
――
And Zhao Zheng's study has been busy receiving grandmasters from all walks of life in the past two days.
And if you don't pay attention to the order of this interview, it will cause an uproar, in the Taoist industry, seniority is still very important, and Zhao Zheng is the first person to approach is the current Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain.
Zhao Zheng didn't find out the real name of the old Taoist, he only called him Zhang Tianshi, and the conversation between the two was short.
"Recently, the reputation of the national teacher has been thunderous, and seeing the prosperity of Taoism, the old Taoist is also very pleased!" Zhang Tianshi was dissatisfied that Zhao Zheng occupied his original position, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he relied on the old and sold the old.
Zhao Zheng didn't care, anyway, the person in front of him would be scared of himself sooner or later.
"There may be a sequence of asking, but the heart of the Tao has no order, only the depth, Longhu Mountain pays attention to fasting, with the righteousness of the heart, the practice of qi and self-cultivation, in order to strengthen one's body, this is a good thing, but with the charm seal to exorcise ghosts, cure these things will not be on the table." Zhao Zheng directly refuted it, without giving the leader of the Fu Seal Sect any color.
Zhang Tianshi has been studying Taoism for a long time, after all, he has seen many markets, and after many storms, he retorted unhurriedly: "The national teacher is also poor in words, and it is ...... at the beginning."
Zhao Zheng unceremoniously interrupted him directly: "You can drive a ghost out for me now, or cure a sick person, by the way, you can also pray for rain and thunder in the seal, and give me a rain!" ”
"The sky is not right, the time has not come, and the old way can't do anything!"
Zhao Zheng laughed: "But my Taoism doesn't talk about timing, it doesn't talk about rituals, and ordinary people can do it, isn't it several times more advanced than your Taoism?" ”
Zhang Tianshi was speechless by Zhao Zheng's question, and his face turned red and said angrily: "Unreasonable! After saying that, he walked away.
Zhao Zheng's eyelids didn't flicker, and then said: "Next!" "The one who came in was the head of the Lingbao Sect of Gesoap Mountain.

On the last day, not only Zhao Yun personally rushed to the Baiyun Palace to watch the ceremony, Xuan Xuan, Zheng Qing's different purposes also rushed over, and Zhao Kui, the nominal disciple of the Baiyun Palace, also specially explained to the court that he wanted to come to the Wanfa Conference.
The Wanfa Conference was held for three days, and on the first or second day, Zhao Zheng left those schools to let them conduct the preliminary round first, argue a famous one, and then talk about it, and the rewards were rich, anyone who could win on the first or second day and enter the third day of the Tao will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan of money.
In the Song Dynasty, money could pass through the Xuan, and most of these Taoist priests were greedy for vanity, and they were even more popular.
On the first day of the Dao, the Baiyun Palace was opened to the public, so the people of Yuhang and other state capitals could freely enter the Baiyun Palace and watch this unprecedented conference on the Dao.
On the first day, Zhao Zheng and the people were still watching the debate with great interest, except for the martial arts, the others made people feel drowsy, these Taoist priests, each pulling their own classics, that can say a piece, and they are all dry thunder and no rain, only to try whose Fu seal painting is faster, more exquisite, making people feel that Chen Shan is lacking.
But there are also Taoist priests who debate to the end, talking about the nature of fire, the practice of opening the altar, and playing tricks, such as writing some words on the paper with alkaline ink in advance, and after drying, ordinary people can't see the handwriting on it, but the handwriting will appear immediately after encountering water. This kind of inferior deception, before Zhao Zheng came to power, those apprentices of the alchemy department of Baiyun Palace couldn't stand it, and immediately debunked it, and explained the principle to everyone, and personally invited a few viewers to come up to do experiments, proving that these are just tricks.
After the incident, the people only felt deceived and knocked down which Taoist priest was knocked down, making them discredited.
Zhang Tianshi looked at the apprentice of Baiyun Palace who was full of ambition on the stage, his face was like water, he was really like a dead water, and when he was exposed by Baiyun Palace like this, other schools also learned to be obedient, not playing those tricks, only pulling some useless talismans.
As an apprentice of Baiyun Palace who has been trained in logic by Zhao Zheng, looking at those inferior debating skills and theories full of holes on the stage, he couldn't help but come to the stage again to correct them, and then this debate meeting became a school of Baiyun Palace apprentice duel.
Zhao Zheng sat firmly on the fishing stick, and before he could make a move, those Taoist priests were already defeated.
In the evening, Zhang Tianshi led the various schools in the south to teach, the grandmaster, and visited Zhao Zheng together.
"National teacher, you are also a member of the Taoist Sect, I am afraid it is inappropriate for you to cut off the wealth of Taoist priests in the world like this!" Zhang Tianshi was very dissatisfied with Zhao Zheng's revelation of their spells, and there was a faint threat, you see, if you continue to do this, then you will be against the entire Dao Sect.
The reason why Zhao Zheng agreed to meet them was not because he was afraid that they would join forces to isolate his own Daoxue, but because he wanted to have a complete showdown with them, and he didn't want to waste too much time on these people.
"Zhao is not cutting off everyone's financial route, but pointing out a way for you to survive, relying on the pit to be afraid of abduction, and deceiving those foolish people How much money can you earn? Practicing my Taoism, although it can't guarantee that all of you will have a lot of money, but it is still more than enough to have enough food and clothing. ”
The various schools are uneven in wealth and poverty, Xianglonghu Mountain, Gesoap Mountain has its own field industry, the incense is vigorous, although the rich flow of oil, but most of them are poor and sour Taoist priests, Zhao Zheng's words are very touching to many small sects, so he asked: "Dare to ask where the national teacher is in this life?" ”
"Baiyun Daoist Temple can become as rich as it is today, but what are the few incense coins it relies on?"
Everyone shook their heads, although the incense of Baiyun Taoist Temple was vigorous, but what he really gathered wealth was Zhao Zheng's refining technique, and the successful refining of glass, soap, and firearms was the fundamental reason for the wealth of Baiyun Taoist Temple.
"Could it be that the national teacher can teach us this alchemy technique?" Many people wondered in their hearts.
Zhao Zheng pointed out the window: "There are more than 10,000 disciples in Baiyun Palace, anyone who is interested can learn my alchemy technique?" Just ask! As long as your heart is oriented to the Tao, you can worship and learn from me. ”
When many small schools heard Zhao Zheng say this, their eyes lit up, but they still hesitated a little and said: "It's just that the classics served by each family are different, and they rashly joined the Baiyun Palace, cut off the incense of the ancestors and ancestors, and died at the end of the debate." ”
Zhao Zheng didn't say a word, looked at them and sneered, and wanted to set up a chaste archway, how can there be such a good thing in the world, just want benefits, can it be done without paying a little price?
The heads of those small schools saw Zhao Zheng's expression and said, "Let us think about this matter!" ”
"Now that you join, you can directly enter the White Cloud Palace, if you miss these few days, you may have to pass the exam with others next time before you can join my White Cloud Palace."
"National teacher, so coercive and tempting, aren't you afraid that the world will laugh at you?" Zhang Tianshi was jealous when he saw Zhao Zheng so recruiting forces, so he made sarcastic remarks.
Zhao Zheng said lightly: "You just have to tell this matter, and you will still laugh at me when the world laughs at me!" ”
Zhao Zheng's fluttering words completely shattered all the illusions of Zhang Tianshi, and with Zhao Zheng's reputation among the people, people are still happy to see it, but they will sarcastically mock himself, a fool who doesn't know the general situation. Let Zhang Tianshi understand that he no longer has any chips in front of Zhao Zheng.
――
The second day of the Wanfa Conference turned into an exhibition match in the Baiyun Palace, where all kinds of newly developed things from the Baiyun Taoist Temple and newly designed physical or alchemical experiments were displayed on stage. Yi Zhiping, the Quanzhen Sect in the north, saw that the situation was not good. Slipped away yesterday, anyway, the influence of the Quanzhen Sect is in the north, and he is not afraid of losing a reputation for cowardice in the south.
The momentum of the Southern Taoism at this time had dropped to the lowest point, and the turtle shrank on one foot, watching the performance of the Baiyun Palace, and at this time, the national teacher had not yet appeared.
The great shock of the prophecy was yet to come.
Then on the third day, the sermon was chosen to be conducted in the night.
After Zhao Zheng appeared, the guards of Baiyun Palace blew out the lights and waited with bated breath for Zhao Zheng to speak.
