Chapter 40: The Origin of the Warlock

"You're so talented that you don't have to open your eyes to see those things. If you practice it, you will achieve great things. Since I can't find a successor, I'll pass it on to you. He said, pushing his notebook in front of me.

"I can't ask for this, I'd better leave it to your future disciples." I replied.

Zhang Yan glanced at me and said, "My future disciple alas! I'll leave you a souvenir with this note. If you find the right person, help me transfer it, come. Let me see you again. ”

He reached out and looked at my eyes as if he were a Chinese medicine practitioner. frowned. "I asked you to learn the Tao from me because Taoism is authentic in the world. I don't know how many times better than other side doors. You took my notes and pondered them, don't stumble into his door. so as not to harm yourself. ”

Hearing what he said solemnly, I became curious. Then he asked, "What are the side doors?" ”

Seeing me asking, Zhang Yan raised his head to the sky and sighed, then looked at me and said seriously: "I want you to follow me to learn the Daofa, but you directly ask me the left way." All this is fate, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to reverse, alas. ”

Seeing his regretful face, I also regretted a little in my heart, whether I asked the wrong question.

"There are two categories of monks and warlocks in the side door of Taoism. There are two types of magicians: outer Dan warlocks and inner Dan warlocks. Wai Dan Shi cultivated to build a house and raise the fire, as well as waited in the Dan room to endure the invasion of cold and heat, smoke and fire, and many other hardships, and practiced the elixir hard to achieve transcendent sanctification. Neidanshi cultivates the essence and energy in his body throughout his life, but he continues to practice and absorb the weather aura, so that he will live forever and become immortal. That's pretty much the case. As for the Warlocks"

Zhang Yan's small eyes were exposed, stared at me for a long time, and continued: "That is the Zuo Dao that has been handed down since the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty. You've heard of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. ”

After saying that, he took another puff of cigarette.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion, uh, is a peasant rebel led by Zhang Jiao. It seems that it was destroyed in a short time. That's all I know.

"You know Zhang Jiao. He was originally a Taoist priest, but by chance he got a superior Taoist book by the strange man Yu Ji, called "Taiping Qing Lingshu", so he took religious salvation as his own responsibility, and used some of the religious concepts and social ideas in it to widely publicize among the people. Originally, it was also a major event for the benefit of accumulation. It could have been remembered through the ages. He saw that the court was ** at that time, and the people were not making a living, so he moved his mind and pursued the emperor's art at the same time. began to use Taoist authentic talismans to cure diseases and save people, and followed countless sects for a time, so that it became a climate, and finally proclaimed himself the general of Tiangong, his younger brother Zhang Bao called "General Digong", Zhang Liang called "General Rengong", and openly rebelled. However, under the counterattack of the Han Dynasty, the uprising began to fail. Seeing that there was no hope of overthrowing the Han Dynasty, he began to pursue the method of practicing the Wai Dan by the Fang Shi again, delusionally hoping for immortality, and finally took medicine and became poisoned and fell ill and died. After his death, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang took his Taoist book again, continued the uprising, and finally failed. This book of Taoism was also divided into two by Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang. The descendants of both sides also practiced Taoism separately. Because the Taoist book is no longer complete, and the descendants have misunderstood the ambiguity, so that the authentic Taoism has gradually been misunderstood and lost. Both factions refer to themselves as Taoist Warlock Masamune and refuse to acknowledge each other's identities. The result is a warlock of the destruction type and a warlock of the demon type. ”
