673 - The Origin of Taoism
I gradually sank in the cold water, and although my grandfather's words sounded bland, they undoubtedly dealt me a heavy blow.
"Why is it that only Zhang Daoling can control the Three Mountains Dao Technique in this world, is it because he is a Dao Ancestor? Is it because he is a strange man of the fifth world? ”
Suddenly, the voice of the ancestor Ma Chongchi had come from the dagger again-
"No, it's impossible to ≥look at history, there have been several people with the life of the Fifth Strange Man in the Dao Sect. But they couldn't do it at all, and they could master all the Three Mountains Dao Techniques at the same time......"
Hearing that, I also muttered to myself, indeed. I have also heard of the names of several strange people in history, Lu Dongbin, Zhang Sanfeng, and the closest one to the present era - Zhong Bang, the head of the Maoshan generation during the Republic of China, and my good brother Zuo Bailong, these people are all Taoist wizards.
I don't know far away, but I know the white dragon better than anyone else, and his good talent still can't fully master the Dao techniques of the Dragon Tiger, Maoshan and Pavilion Soap three sects, although occasionally I will see him use the Maoshan Thunder Fire Technique to defeat the enemy. But as his good brother, I know best, it was just because he was defeated by Yang Death, because of the resentment in his heart, Bai Long is a stubborn person, he does not hesitate to bear the physical burden brought by the Maoshan Dao Technique to himself, but also forcibly practice the Maoshan Thunder Fire Technique. The purpose is just to surpass Yang Death, who is known as the 'Ninth Strange Man', in terms of thunder and fire art. Defeat him with Yang Death's best thunder and fire technique.
However, Yang Daoye also said that after all, the life of the Fifth Strange Man of the White Dragon is relatively special, so although it will also cause burden damage to the body when cultivating the Dao Techniques of other sects, it is obviously much stronger than us, which is one of the reasons why Yang Daoye has not stopped him from using the Thunder Fire Technique.
But even so, Yang Daoye once repeatedly told Bai Long, "It's not impossible for you to learn a few Maoshan Dao techniques, but you must not master too many Maoshan or Gesoap Mountain Dao techniques, the more you learn, the greater the burden on your body, and in the end, you will only harm yourself."
Bai Long naturally understands this truth, so in addition to the 'Maoshan Thunder Fire Technique' and the practical Maoshan Technique similar to the 'Five Ghost Tracking Technique', even if he is amazingly talented, he will never learn moves casually.
But thinking of this, another question immediately came to mind, if Dao Ancestor Zhang Daoling can master the Three Mountains Dao Technique at the same time and pass on the Three Mountains Dao Technique to many disciples, if it is not because of the relationship between himself as a strange person of the Five Generations, then what is the reason? As a strange man of the fifth world, he can, but others cannot; As a member of the Zhang family of the Heavenly Master Dao, he can, but his descendants cannot.
This is indeed a bit bizarre.
At this time, I only heard the voice of the ancestor master and heard it again--He He died.
"Back then, I was young and greedy, and I thought I was a genius in Taoism, but I couldn't control the three mountains Taoism at the same time, why is this? Why is it that because Zhang Daoling created the Heavenly Master Dao, future generations can only bow down and worship but cannot surpass? ”
At this point, the voice from the dagger became more and more excited—
"So I hated, I began to collect ancient records about the Heavenly Master's Dao, as well as all the news about the Dao ancestor Zhang Daoling, and then I finally discovered a secret, it turned out that the so-called Taoism, the so-called Daomen three treasures, all originated in a mysterious place - Turtle Mountain, Qilin Cave ......"
Accompanied by the voice of the grandfather, another illusion has suddenly bloomed in my mind, in the fantasy, I saw the young grandfather is cautiously moving forward in a secret passage, one hand holding his dagger, and the other hand, holding a torch high, with the light of the torch, I saw that the four walls were engraved with a thousand strange words, patterns and patterns, soon, he had come to the end of the road, appeared in front of him was indeed a huge stone room, there was a person standing in the stone room, no, Half a man to be exact, he only had half a head left, his head hanging and standing motionless, his eyes looking straight towards the end of the corridor, less than a left arm, only a right arm hanging weakly at his side......
I saw that the man's whole body was covered with tooth marks and scars, and from the wounds on his body, it looked as if pieces of flesh had been torn off......
"Back then, the little Taoist priest Zhang Daoling mistakenly entered the Qilin Cave of Guishan Mountain, and since then he has become the guardian of the Qilin Cave by mistake, but what he is guarding is not Guishan Mountain, nor is it the Qilin Cave, but he has inherited a certain belief in the Qilin Cave......"
With the voice of the grandfather, I continued to sink, and I gradually felt suffocated, and it was only then that I realized that I was still in the water, and quickly struggled desperately. What beliefs? So what's in the Kirin Cave? ”
"Dead Ancient Gods, Qilin Cave is a tomb, a tomb where the corpses of countless ancient gods and ancient gods and demons are buried......"
As soon as Master Zu's words came out, I was shocked again.
Then I heard his cold voice again—
"If it weren't for the fact that I had also entered the Qilin Cave, I would never have discovered this secret, the battle of the ancient God Butcher, Dayu led thousands of troops and horses to betray the benefactor who had created the world, and after killing them all, the corpses were all buried in the Qilin Cave, the ancient gods declined, and the world ushered in a new atmosphere of self-destruction and self-control, and among those corpses, there was a person who did not die......"
"Could it be...... It's the half-headed person I just hallucinated about? I exclaimed.
"That's right, he is the last ancient god in this world, but under the curse of the world, he will be trapped in the Qilin Cave forever and cannot escape...... Because of this hatred, when I stepped into the Qilin Cave, the first expression he made was crying...... He cursed the world and cursed the traitors who betrayed him......"
"But...... But what does this have to do with the Three Mountains Daojutsu? I asked again.
"Child, what is Taoism? This strange power is originally a power that does not belong to human beings. Have you ever wondered why in ancient times, there was no such thing as Taoism in this world, and it was not until the Middle Ages that Taoism and Taoism suddenly rose? ”
Master Zu's words made me speechless, and I didn't know how to answer.
And at this time, I heard that Master Zu had already spoken again-
"Before the origin of Taoism, there was only one power in this world that was beyond the control of human beings, and this power not only created the world, but also destroyed the world, and it was precisely because of the existence of this power that human beings did not hesitate to bear the charge of betrayal, and they wanted to completely destroy it......"
At this point, I seem to have understood something......
"You're talking about...... The power of God ......"
"That's right, the power of the gods, the power of the old gods."
Master Zu replied, "What is Taoism? The origin of Taoism is the power of those creation gods in ancient times, or in other words, it is the evolution of the ancient gods, in that era of chaos and disorder, those gods and envoys were able to be revered as gods in the world with the help of this powerful power, and were worshiped by the world for eternity...... However, these gods also have a weakness......"
"Weakness ......"
"That's right, they also have hearts, and they will also waver, change and even go to extremes like people, so before the fall of the old gods, the old gods who existed in the world gradually divided into two factions, one of which wanted to continue to control the historical trend of the world, and regarded it as a game of their own pastime; On the other hand, the ancient gods of the other faction had compassion for humans and all living things, and they could not bear to treat all living beings as pawns and efforts, so they turned against them under the persuasion of humans and aimed their weapons at their own kind......"
When Master Zu said this, a name appeared in my mind - Gengchen.
According to my one-sided understanding of the memory of that ancient war, Gengchen can be used as a representative of this second type of ancient gods.
It was he who betrayed his own kind, sealed Wuzhiqi, and besieged Xuangui Xuannu, wouldn't he have a figure? In that horrific and tragic war, he mercilessly pointed the sword at his colleagues and betrayed his original beliefs......
