Chapter 50: Curiosity

"Old immortals, the younger generation is only shallow in learning, and I really can't afford your old man's false praise, but usually thanks to the teaching and enlightenment of Jiugong, I can know a little about what happened in history...... If there is any omission, where it is not enough, I hope you will give me a lot of advice? Bian Xi got up with a humble face and saluted again......

In addition, when the younger generation saw the seniors for the first time, they only felt that the old man's immortal wind and bones, and his instrument was not like others, so when an alien immortal cultivator said it, he never thought that it would come true!

"For this visit, I am grateful for my kindness and gratitude, and there is one more thing I would like to ask...... Don't know if it's convenient or not? Bian Xi suddenly had great curiosity about the identity of the old man in front of him who cultivated immortals on the earth?

"Hehe, little brother, although you and I are first acquaintances, they can be regarded as acquaintances at first sight, if there is something to ask, but it doesn't hurt to say? The old man is determined, knows everything, and says everything"

"Thank you to the old immortals, I like to have a question, very curious, as usual, all those who cultivate immortals on the earth, more or less, will leave their own immortal names in mythological stories, for the people of the mortal world, worship at four o'clock, and worship at the temple...... Dare to ask the old immortal, since the dojo is the abbot mountain, how should the immortal family be called? ”

"Hahaha......" I saw the old man of Xiuxian laughing, holding his beard in both hands, and said slowly: "I look at a puddle of water in the East China Sea, and Mount Tai carries dust; The dancing sleeves are narrow, and the sun and moon are dim. The sky is three or two inches high, and the ground is one fish scale thick. Looking up at the sky, there is no self in general. I am the Emperor of Donghua, who is in charge of your myths and legends, and is in charge of the Yuxiao Zifu Cave Heaven and Blessed Land to obtain the true immortal. ”

Oh? Hearing this, Bian Xi was not surprised, maybe he had been mentally prepared for a long time, but Jiugong and Hong'er next to him couldn't sit still, the characters in myths and legends were now sitting next to him, how could he not be surprised?

Emperor Donghua can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Chu believed in the god of the Eastern Emperor, called Dongjun is the deified sun god (Sun Xingjun), and the prince of Donghua is the predecessor of Emperor Donghua...... I saw that Bian Xi was not in a hurry, and in front of the old man who cultivated immortals, he said to Jiugong and Hong'er.

Donghua Emperor Jun is Donghua Zifu Shaoyang Jun. It is the ancestor of Quanzhen Dao, one of the "Five Ancestors of the North", and its origin may be related to the ancient Dongmu Gong. Dongmu Gong, also known as the Eastern Prince, is called Fusang the Great, the father of Yuanyang, and the Queen Mother of the West. It is believed that he is the god of the sun.

"The Divine Sutra" said that the prince of the east lived in the big stone room of the east barren mountain, with bright hair, humanoid bird face and tiger tail. Du Guangting's "Yongcheng Collection of Immortals" said: "Mu Gong was born on the blue sea, the ruins of the spirit, with the spirit of the main yang, and the reason is in the east." "The Complete Collection of Three Religions and Gods" inherits this theory, and becomes one with Emperor Donghua.

Taoism says that Dongmu Gong and the West Queen Mother share the two qi of yin and yang, and are respectively in charge of the world's men and women. And Quanzhen Dao, there is another saying about Donghua Emperor, saying that Donghua Emperor's surname is Wang, his name is Xuanfu, and his teacher is Baiyun Shangzhen, who is a native of Shandong in the Han Dynasty.

Zhao Daoyi, a Taoist priest of the Yuan Dynasty, wrote the "True Immortal Body Dao Tongjian" (written in 1294) Volume 20 also has the biography of Wang Xuanfu, saying: Shangxian surnamed Wang, named Xuanfu, Han Dynasty Donghai people. Shi Baiyun is really Taoist, No. 1 Huayang real person. He was born on June 15 and ascended on October 16, and he does not remember what dynasty it was. Later pass and Zhong Lijue, that is, Zhengyangzi Zhong Liquan.

Zhao Daoyi's record clearly identified Wang Xuanfu as a native of the Han Dynasty and his alias Huayang Zhenren. However, it is not recorded that Wang Xuanfu was born and ascended to immortality, and even his place of origin is missing.

Wang Xuanfu is regarded as the patriarch of the Quanzhen Dao, but his deeds are so vague that it is inevitable that people will be suspicious. Qin Zhi'an, a contemporary, had already recognized this problem, and after Wang Xuanfu's biography, there was "Praise", trying to answer the doubts of others: "The immortal name of the emperor is so hesitous, and the price of the Tao is so high, why is it not recorded in the history of the Han Dynasty, and the family in the township and the era are so dark?" ”

The servant said: "The immortal road is hidden, and it is not an urgent task to establish a religion for the world, so the historian does not write a book, and he is also a Confucian evil speaker." The years are far-reaching, and the inscription is obliterated, so it is not detailed. And in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the hermit is incalculable, how can thousands of tons of old paper be recorded? ”

It can be seen that the names of Emperor Donghua and Wang Xuanfu have long been seen in Taoist classics before the establishment of Quanzhen Dao. Emperor Donghua is the name of the gods, I don't know when it started. But by the Tang Dynasty at the latest, it had appeared in the lineage of Taoist immortals.
