Chapter 100: Lying Evil Demons Claim the Right Path, Pretending to be a Lineage Heavenly Master (II)
After climbing the relationship, naturally you can't forget the business.
Zhang Tianshi had already sent people to visit all the dojos in Luoyang City to collect clues.
Fan Wuyi and Xie Bi'an worked hard all night to sort out all the fragmented information together.
According to their judgment, Wudou Midao and his party should have gone west on the fifth day and entered Funiu Mountain.
According to Taoist legend, Funiu Mountain is the transformation of the green ox mounted by Taishang.
Its main peak, the famous view room.
The view, the light also.
The so-called scenery room, is the top of the light, the legend is the Taoist first saint Lao Tzu before the Taishang cultivation place, has always been the Taoist holy land.
Since Wudou Midao took refuge in Taishang, worshiped light, and worshiped God, they were likely to choose Jingmur Mountain to settle down in Hanzhong when they went west.
Qingyun thanked the Heavenly Master, said goodbye to everyone, and discussed it with the brothers in detail.
The matter involves Mr. Huayang, and the matter of finding a teacher, Zu Xuanzhi naturally can't stay out of the matter.
Li Shenjun came out of the Li clan in Longxi and was very familiar with the hometown of the sages, so he took the initiative to ask Ying as a guide.
With the lessons of the past, Qingyun acted obviously more cautiously.
Whether Zhang Chong is the Dragon King identified by Mr. Huayang remains to be verified.
Qingyun didn't want to make the same mistake again, this time he traveled west, in case he caught up with everyone, but gambled on a wrong answer, then the situation would be even more passive.
So Xiaolongwang Liu Ying and the others did not go with everyone this time, and stayed in Gyeonggi to pay attention to the news of all parties at any time.
Funiu Mountain is an eastward extension of the Qinling Mountains, and the two outer mountains are fan-shaped and open with Bear's Ear, and penetrate into the East Henan Plain.
The three mountains are rocky, in late autumn, the white stones, the green trees and the red maple see each other, mottled and staggered, silent, quite a bit of the quiet beauty of autumn leaves.
From Luoyang to Barberry, you need to extend the Yihe River valley between the two mountains outside the bear's ear to trace the river, straight into Luanchuan, and the distance is half a day farther than Songshan.
The god of Yishui is Yiyin, who was originally the good aid of the Shang king Taiyi (Shang Tang), and was respected as the Yuan Sage by later generations.
Yishui Dian, the place where the Yuan Sheng began, the emperor's place.
Whether the positive trace of Haotian God is the beginning or the Taishang, the earliest controversy arises between these three mountains and one water.
Of course, Qingyun and his entourage did not come to archaeology to seek truth.
Although Li Shenjun is from the Li clan branch in Longxi, he is a descendant of Taishang's incarnation of Lao Tzu,
Every stone and tree, every mountain and one universe here can be said in his mouth.
But he also knew that Qing and Zu had no intention of listening carefully, so they only picked the key points and said something slightly.
They set out early the next morning and arrived at the foot of Funiu Mountain, already in the afternoon.
A few people tied their horses to the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain and drove some mountain roads.
When we reached the halfway slope, it was already evening.
Far out of the heavy mountains can see a red maple, like a very old tree, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, the momentum is towering,
In this season, it is so red that it seems to drip blood.
Sure enough, a puff of red leaves fell into the sea of clouds, staining the whole haze red.
The afterglow of the setting sun also looks overshadowed by the maple crown.
"What an ancient maple!
The tree is at least 100 years old! β
Qingyun couldn't help but praise.
"More than a hundred years!
This is the place where the first prince Taishang realized the Tao back then.
It was under this maple tree that the ancestor had an epiphany of heaven and earth, obtained the power to penetrate heaven and earth, and opened the gate of heaven with a sword.
Since Gu Feng moved forward a mile, you can see the remains of Taishang Gong opening the gate of heaven with a sword. β
Li Shenjun mentioned the miracles of the sages, and said that he was painting and spitting,
But Qingyun's face became more and more solemn the more he listened.
"What's wrong?"
Zu Xuanzhi seemed to notice that Qingyun's expression was a little abnormal, and asked tentatively.
"There were sounds of fighting."
Qingyun frowned and listened,
"It's in the direction of that ancient maple."
He pointed casually, and Li Shenjun stopped talking, and followed Zu Yuyi to his ears to carefully identify it.
"No sound?"
Zu Xuanzhi looked at Qingyun in surprise.
"I didn't hear anything."
Li Shenjun echoed.
Qingyun raised his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart, am I the only one who caught the faint whimper in the wind?
Yes.
If there was God, he would answer him in the same way.
Since Qingyun uses infrasound waves to help practice internal strength,
His musculoskeletal body has become very sensitive to vibrations in this band.
In other words, he already has the ability to sense infrasound waves in a specific frequency band.
Far away, perhaps experiencing a silent battle,
There is no shouting, no sound of weapons clashing, but it can cause fluctuations in the surrounding air currents.
This should be the ultimate competition of internal Qigong!
Although Qingyun can't comprehend it so accurately now, he can really capture the confrontation of that kind of terrifying power.
He can even perceive the direction and place in which this confrontation is taking place.
"Trust me, follow me!"
Qingyun grabbed the hilt of the sword behind his back and bent down and walked quickly.
Zu Xuanzhi and Li Shenjun glanced at each other, and quickly followed.
Under the red maple, on the sea of clouds,
The field of vision is so red that people can't open their eyes.
There seemed to be someone under the maple tree, but it was enveloped in a strong red light, and no one could see what was going on.
Li Shenjun took a step forward, and suddenly felt a stagnation in his body, and he could barely lift his breath.
Twilight frowned,
He is a disciple of Tao Hongjing, and he has always had some foundation for the inner family's Qi method.
However, his breathing also seemed to be affected by some kind of fluctuation, and became unusually sluggish, and every step he took was like a thousand steps.
The two of them walked outside Gu Feng's three zhang away, and they couldn't speak anymore.
Only Qingyun, with purple aura on his face, could still continue to move forward with his cultivation.
The smell of blood fills the air,
The crimson color wasn't entirely reflected in the sunlight, but a real blood mist!
There seems to be some kind of power hidden in this layer of blood mist, and when it is squeezed, it will condense into a kind of enchantment to fight against it.
The fog gets tighter and thicker, and even completely blocks one's breath.
Qingyun forcibly squeezed a few feet inward, and then he also felt that he was struggling.
He turned his head back with difficulty and looked at Zu Yuzhi.
The latter winked at him and began to step back.
Qingyun understood, and also held his breath to breathe, and cautiously retreated from the blood mist.
The three of them found a high place and distanced themselves from Gu Feng, and then Zu Yuzhi spoke,
"The fog here has the nature of blood."
"What?"
Qingyun and Li Shenjun asked this question at the same time.
"Blood is different from ordinary liquids in that they become extraordinarily dense when impacted by external forces.
In addition to blood, highly viscous liquids such as the juice of Eucommia ulmoides and the high nu fat of the Western Regions also have similar properties.
It's just that I don't know what kind of oblique method this is in front of me, which can make the fog have this property. β
After listening to Zu Yuzhi's explanation, Qingyun said,
"The strange fluctuations I perceive are coming from the center of the blood mist under the trees.
What is the way to crack the second brother? β
Twilight stretched out his hand to probe the direction of the wind,
"The organizers chose to set up the Blood Mist Array here, mainly because of the special terrain here, which is a dead end of the mountain wind.
To crack this blood array, you need to draw wind and dilute the air here.
When the blood mist thins, this strange property will be weakened,
Then use the fast sword to open the way, and you can enter the battle. β
γγγγγ time to knock on the blackboardγγγγγ
Blood, rubber (or rubber-like like like eucommia gum), crude oil, these are all natural, non-Newtonian fluids. Non-Newtonian fluids are tougher than solids when impacted, and they are usually highly viscous liquids or suspensions. Some people say that since blood has this property, isn't it stronger than bones? Yes, it's just that the blood vessels are too thin, and if the blood forms a pool, it will have an effect. A box of water bullets is needed, and a large bag of blood packs is enough to block bullets. It's true, the world is so wonderful, everyone who is interested can learn about "chewing gum open coconut" and "liquid body armor", which use similar principles. Of course, there are no known natural gases that belong to non-Newtonian fluids, and the use of this blood mist is slightly exaggerated. After all, if you have to investigate its rigorous physical setting, it will be expanded later, which is the superposition of formation (fluctuation), Qi Gong, and fluid mechanics. If the doubter is also capable enough, he can try to restore this weird coincidence.
Eden appears for the second time in the article, as we mentioned earlier, and it is indeed a metaphor. The names Ivan, John and Jon are cognate in the Western language family (both Latin and Cyrillic). It's amazing, isn't it. Shao Hao's son, Chong, is a character who appears in ancient Chinese books. In the follow-up works in this series, the story of Eden will be told from an oriental perspective, and it will definitely revisit your three views like this book. You'd be surprised why there are so many coincidences in the classic accounts of the East and the West. Why didn't you see it before? Of course, because the contemptible people haven't started tidying up before...... Cough, cough, swelled, inflated...... In short, the letter monk can perceive a different world. Which one is stronger? The starting point sweeping leaves can be called king.
Haotian God is actually an oriental belief. The word God was borrowed to refer to the supreme god when Western culture was introduced to China. We have said in the text that the supreme god of Taoism has the dispute between the Yuan Shi Tianzun and the Taishang Laojun, and this article will not fight this lawsuit, not make judgments, but only explain the source of cultural symbols. The correspondence between Taishang Laojun and Lao Tzu does not need to be elaborated too much. Although modern Taoism has repeatedly reiterated that Lao Tzu is not equal to Taishang Laojun, he is only an incarnation of Taishang. Yes, they are right in everything they say, and there is nothing to argue about doctrine. But in terms of cultural origin, without Lao Tzu, there would be no later Taishang Laojun.
When Buddhism was introduced to China, there was a debate about the elders. Taoists say that Lao Tzu turned into Hu, and Buddhists say that the reincarnation of Shakya is still first. As for Lao Tzu Shakya's age, Taoism has lost several times. Right, if you lose, you lose because the record of Lao Tzu is more detailed and more like a historical figure, and the Buddha is different...... This is not an attack, I have already talked about the approximate chronology, and Lao Tzu's life is really slightly earlier than that of Shakya. It is because Lao Tzu can not be compared with Shakya in several aspects, Taoism loses powder, and it is not enough, so from the Three Kingdoms period of Soochow, there is a belief in the first king (Yuan Shi Tianzun). Some people say that Yuan Shi Tianzun is Pangu, and there is no order, right? The things about Pangu in the previous article have also been sorted out, and the birth time of this belief is obviously later than the beginning of the Yuan, and it is all seconded by later generations. This is the same as attaching the Yuan Shi Tianzun and the Prince of Tianzhu Sudana, this is not the original culture, it is completely similar to the modern Internet playing the piano, but unfortunately there are always people who take it out and say it seriously. In short, Yuan Shi Tianzun appeared as the Taoist ancestor in the Jin Dynasty Taoist classic "Lingbao Sutra", in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Kou Qianzhi improved the Heavenly Master Dao, and used the Yuan Shi Tianzun to snatch back the Taoist card, so the Heavenly Master Dao was split in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. When Tao Hongjing summarized the "True Spirit Position Karma Map" according to the current situation at that time, Yuan Shi Tianzun was the first median supreme god, and Taiqing Taishang Laojun was only ranked fourth. The fundamental reason for this is that Taishang Laojun was used to benchmark the existence of the Buddha at that time, and the more gods above Taishang, the higher the status of Taoism "appears". Of course, Taishang's status can't be too low, after all, Zhang Daoling's lineage still regards Taishang as the supreme god, and he has indeed existed as the supreme god of Taoism for hundreds of years.
The cultural ancestor of Yuan Shi Tianzun may really have something to do with Yuan Sheng Yiyin. First of all, the belief in Taiyi (1) exists in Taoism, and Taiyi is both Shang Tang, and this is also relatively clear. The character of Taiyi Zhenren is actually not a serious god, but a character in "Romance of the Gods". "Fengshen" is an ancient fantasy in Buddha, Taoism, and folk beliefs, which can not be too true. However, we can analyze its cultural origin, for example, Taiyi Zhenren is one of the twelve golden immortals under the throne of Yuan Shi Tianzun, then his canon is the first median god in the "True Spirit Position Karma Map", Taiyi (B) Yujun under the seat of Yuan Shi Tianzun. Yuan Shi is bigger than Taiyi, Taiyi is Shang Tang, so how can Yuan Shi's cultural traceability be Taiyi's minister? This starts with Yuan Sheng Yiyin. Yi Yin, the descendants of Emperor Shun ("Shiben": Yi Shi, the Yin of Di Yao Yi Qi, and then Yi Yin Mingzhi, Xiang Tang. ), so Xia Chen ("Zou Zi", "Shuo Yuan", "Han Poem Biography"): Yi Yin has the wife of the Xin family. There is Xin's family, so Xia descendants, see the humble book "Competing with the Sky to See the Female Pill". ), which is an official name (Master of Eden, Master of Ikawa). Yi Yin was not only the first hero of Shang's destruction of Xia, but also exiled Shang Jun to Tonggong in later generations. So Yi Yin and Shang Jun, it's really hard to tell who is the king and who is the minister. If you go back in history, the rise of the Yi Yin (Yi clan) clan was much earlier than that of the Shang tribe. Eden, barberry is the true ancestral court of Taoism.
In the Song Dynasty, the Taoist god system had another major revision. Perhaps it was because the dispute between the Yuan Shi Taishang and the Taishang Dynasty had restricted the development of Taoism, or perhaps it was because the Song Emperor's belief in returning to the local religion was due to the need to consolidate imperial power. In this reform, Taishang Laojun and Haotian God were officially stripped from the godhead. Haotian God is the Jade Emperor, Haotian Xuanqiong Jade Emperor God, as the supreme god of Taoism, above the Three Qings. The heavenly realm officially learned the human system, and there was a class of immortals. The Emperor of Heaven has no clan, from the Song Emperor. In the "True Spirit Position Karma Map", the Jade Emperor Daojun only has the first median Yuan Shi Tianzun of the clan, and the seat is slightly higher than that of Taiyi Yujun. In addition, Zuo Shengzichen Taiwei Heavenly Emperor Daojun is the second-level second-level god with the highest seat under the throne of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Daos. These two gods should be the predecessors of the Song version of the Jade Emperor.
Many people think that Taoism is chaotic, but it is not complicated. First of all, they are all Chinese sages, because they have personalities, so they lack a sense of mystery. Secondly, the history of Chinese writing is too long, and it records in detail the several revisions of the Taoist god system since its existence, which is more similar to Hinduism, where millions of gods are indistinguishable. Unlike Buddhism, where the Buddha is dominant, the three Western religions and one god are exalted, and the divine system is particularly clear. Because this work is not a paper, it will no longer touch on more in-depth and sensitive topics, and it will be good if it can help everyone understand.
