Chapter 544: Troubled Times
"Is your information reliable?" I asked Gu Gang, this is not a trivial matter.
"It should be reliable, because I got this news from more than one source." Gu Gang said, "Last time, sisters Yu Ziqing and Yu Zilu also talked to me about this. ”
"They?" I frowned slightly, Yu Ziqing and Yu Zilu are in Suzhou and Hangzhou, I'm afraid it's another channel, it seems that this matter may be true.
"I'm afraid there's something wrong with Dongtu's luck." Gu Gang said, and sighed after speaking: "I hope you don't make too much trouble, otherwise you may not know what the turmoil will become." ”
I groaned, this thing can't be considered sudden, the current dungeon is already in chaos, and the night wandering god said that King Qin Guang and King Yama have joined forces to secretly arrange the purge of the renegades, but when I think that the Emperor of Xudu has been wiped out, I feel that I don't have much confidence.
Let's not talk about other questions first, let's just say that King Qin Guang can suppress the rest of the Eight Palaces of Yama? Not to mention openly opposing it, as long as the rest of the eight halls of Yama Yang obey the Yin, this underworld will have to be scattered.
Any force will have internal contradictions, even sharp contradictions, and the underworld naturally cannot be monolithic; Moreover, the strength of the rebellion is deeply rooted in the underworld, and it is very hidden, just thinking about it, I feel a headache for King Qin Guang.
"How much else do you know about the Great Demon City?" I asked Gu Gang.
"It's almost gone, but some time ago, I overheard the elders of the sect mention that the Qingniu Dao Chief, who had been dead for many years, had returned, and this matter was even more mysterious." Gu Gang was shocked.
"Green Bull Dao Chief." I gasped, of course this thing is not mysterious, it is likely to be true, because the Qingniu Daoist is just in seclusion, and he has not passed away.
I can't figure it out, what kind of thing can alarm his old man?
Qingniu Taoist is the patriarch of today's Taoism, all Taoist schools in Dongtu respect him as the Taoist, including the two most important schools of Taoism, Longhu Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, a little smaller is more, Laoshan Mountain, Luofu Mountain, Wudang Mountain, and Maoshan has entered the WTO.
Here we must talk about the composition of Qimen, Qimen is actually a very general concept, the definition is that everything other than the main gate is called Qimen.
The main gate is the three hundred and sixty lines of the world, referred to as the world.
Of course, this is the Qi Gate in the broad sense, and the Qi Gate in the narrow sense actually needs to be eliminated in several large pieces, the first large block is the Daomen, the second large block is Foshan, the third large block is the Dharma Practice, and the fourth block with a small number of people, the Wumen.
First of all, Daomen and Buddhism, strictly speaking, they can be separated from Qimen, because when they are mentioned, they all talk about Taoism and Buddhism, and they don't talk about Qimen Taoism or Qimen Buddhism.
Therefore, in a narrow sense, there are four major pieces that make up the foundation of Dongtu Qimen, Qimen, Daomen, Buddhism, and Wumen.
Wumen is the smallest, and now it is basically the corpse gate and Miao Zhai inherited some, but it is also declining, but Southeast Asia is still relatively prosperous, but they are thriving in black witchcraft; Qimen refers to the family, or the force of the family uniting, the Miao family is a typical single-family Qimen force, and the corpse chasing gate is the latter, which is united by many corpse families.
Taoism and Buddhism are very special, they are relatively much more detached, there are very few family existences, and most of them are mainly in the form of master-apprentice inheritance. There are few disputes, at least no disputes over territory and spheres of influence; It can be said that it has been prosperous for a long time, and it can also be said that it is an ancient well without waves.
Unlike the major Qimen families, there are constant grievances and disputes.
To give a very simple example, it can be shown that the Miao family occupies the entire Hubei Province, but there is a place that the Miao family can't manage, that is, the Wudang Mountain Road Gate in Shiyan City, Hubei Province.
The Miao family will never provoke Wudang Mountain, because the inheritance of Wudang Mountain is older than that of the Miao family, who is the strongest in Hubei Province?
It's not the Miao family, it's Wudang Mountain!
It's just that they are too detached, they have no interest in worldly disputes, and they usually don't feel their existence at all, and it is not accurate to say that the well water does not interfere with the river water, but completely "does not exist" and "has no effect".
Miao Miao once told me that Qingniu Daochang was originally from Longhu Mountain, and after living in seclusion for many years, outsiders thought he had passed away; When he returned to Longhu Mountain this time, something must have alarmed him, or rather, even the Daomen, which had always been out of the world, had moved.
"The wind and rain are coming, as the saying goes, the troubled times come out, the prosperous times come out, and when the Taoists take action, I'm afraid the world will really be in chaos." Gu Gang said with emotion.
I nodded, that's right, the biggest difference between Buddhism and Taoism is that the prosperous world is hidden, and the troubled times are hidden.
In short, when the chaotic times come, when the Qimen forces are no longer enough to build order, the Taoists will send disciples into the world, kill demons, cleanse the world, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations.
And Buddhism rarely does this, the prosperity of the incense, the Buddha door will be opened, once the troubled times come, most of the Buddha doors close the mountain gate, do a quiet place, rarely take the initiative to enter the WTO, at most accept some homeless people.
Because there is one thing in between, and that is iniquity. Foshan is forbidden to kill, the Daomen is different, and when encountering evil demons, the Daomen will not be soft.
The prosperous world is hidden, almost equivalent to non-existence, and only when the Qimen family is no longer able to build order, will they go down the mountain and enter the world. Li Bai is a typical example, he was born in the Qingcheng Mountain Daomen faction in Shudi, and when the chaotic times came at the end of the Tang Dynasty, he entered the WTO to kill demons and eliminate demons, and achieved the prestige of "Qinglian Sword Immortal".
In the Eastern Earth World, in fact, the Daomen has built the lowest level of order, the second layer is the major Qimen families, and the third layer is the relatively weak Dharma practice; The three complement each other and shape the heritage of the Eastern Earth world.
Of course, where there are people, there are loopholes, and there are people who are interested in interests.
It is necessary to mention here that the number of practitioners far exceeds that of the Qimen, the Daomen, the Buddhism, and the Dharma Practice, which is the "Fifth Great School." ”
Left Door!
The so-called left door is those who abduct and steal, forcibly take and rob, deceive and harm others.
They are low-level under the banner of a certain famous family and mountain, wandering around the streets and alleys to be abducted and deceived, and the more advanced ones use all kinds of harmful means to forcibly seize and plunder.
For example, get some Gu worms, ghost slaves and the like to extort money, and even intervene in various grievances, take people's money, and eliminate disasters for others, if there is a bottom line, it is stronger, if there is no bottom line, the harm is particularly great.
The mundane world disappears without a trace every year, and very few can be found, most of those people are destroyed by the left door, their methods are very hidden, and ordinary criminal investigation methods are impossible to solve the case.
In short, the left door is the side door and the left door that Buddhism, Taoism, and Qimen all look down on and do not recognize, and they are mixed with fish and dragons, and their interests are consumed, and they have no bottom line at all, and even the weakest Dharma practices look down on them, let alone put them on the table.
In the prime of life, there were a lot of these people.
Those flowery "monks" who wear gold and silver, enter and exit luxury cars, and "Taoist priests" who hold all kinds of luxury and high-end items are all like this.
The real Taoists are in seclusion in the heyday, and they are almost invisible in the world, in order to continue the study of the saints, to open peace for all generations, and to stand up and have a sense of mission to throw off hundreds of thousands of streets of those false Taoists and monks.
Buddhism is the same, the real Buddhists are pure hearts and few desires, accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern, and they will never ask for sesame oil money at every turn, and that one wants ticket money and head incense money.
Pull!
When many people mention Taoist priests, their first impression is that they are wandering in the streets and alleys, wearing a dirty and torn Taoist robe, and full of nonsense.
Of course, there may be hanging pots in it, but ...... Very few.
Therefore, Taoism and Buddhism are a very strange existence, they almost turn a blind eye to those who pretend to be them and ruin their reputation, and only pursue the true self or serve the Buddha, you love corruption and corruption, you don't care, it doesn't matter, unless you break through the bottom line.
"How is that Cao Immortal Aunt now?" I asked Gu Gang, Daomen, like Buddhism, is almost in a semi-secluded state, closed doors, without special channels and methods, there is no way to go up at all, let alone hear the news.
"Although I am from the Dragon and Tiger faction, I can't go to Longhu Mountain, I don't know very well now, I guess if the Qingniu Daoist really comes back, it must be related to Cao Xiangu's hexagram." Gu Gang Road.
I nodded, maybe because of the prestige of Longhu Mountain, there are no other Qimen forces in the entire Jiangxi area, only a very loose Longhu faction, most of them are lay disciples of Longhu Mountain, and they inherit the tradition of Longhu Mountain's escape, the structure is very loose, there is no relationship between superiors and subordinates, just a simple division of elders and juniors. Strictly speaking, it doesn't have much to do with Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Gu Gang told me that his three brothers were orphans, and when they were young and begging, they met a Taoist from Longhu Mountain, and the Taoist entrusted them to a lay disciple, so that they are today, otherwise they would have starved to death.
But that Taoist never showed up again, and it was precisely because of that chance that the three brothers were recognized by the Dragon and Tiger faction and joined this very loose faction.
"Can you find a way to inquire for me?" I said to Gu Gang, the underworld has been chaotic, and the yang world is also surging, if you can know the hexagrams, it may help.
"Okay." Gu Gang nodded and said: "I know an elder, although he is also a lay disciple, but he has a serious senior brother of Longhu Mountain, although his status is not high, but there should be some news, but I can only do my best, you should understand that the ancestors of Longhu Mountain are very strict." ”
I said okay, it's enough to have this promise, it's more or less a channel, and I don't have too much hope, such a fierce hexagram, Cao Xiangu vomited blood after just a glance, if I say it, I'm afraid I'll die.
The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, it is not a joke!
……
After that, Gu Gang entertained me to play in Ruijin for another day, and the next day I said goodbye, he sent someone to send me to Ganzhou, and also prepared a plane ticket for me, and the boarding was also a green light all the way.
In the afternoon, I returned to Chongqing, and the fat man and the poisonous butterfly came to pick up the plane. As soon as we met, I told Poison Butterfly about the Night Wandering God's desire to meet Miao Wu, and Poison Butterfly said that he wanted to ask Miao Wu's opinion.
The next day, Poison Butterfly replied, saying that Miao Wu agreed, let me go with the Night Wandering God, and keep it secret.
I'm a little strange, why did Miao Wu name me to go too?
asked Poison Butterfly, Poison Butterfly shook her head and said that it was Miao Wu's oracle, and she didn't know why. I nodded and didn't think much of it, so I waited for the night wanderer to come to the door, this guy must be more anxious than me.
Sure enough, on the third night, I was getting ready for bed, when the Night Wanderer came to the door, provoking the Colorful Eagle to almost pounce on it.
