Since ancient times, Taoism has emphasized the rule of inaction, so there are many factions, which are very complex, and there are good and evil.

There are monks who are bent on seeking the Tao and ascending, there are also alchemists who refine medicine and seek pills, and there are false Taoists who pretend to be gods and ghosts, but the most are casual cultivators.

Because Taoism does not emphasize inheritance, but pays attention to the practice of birth, many great masters only leave what they have learned in a hidden place after their deaths, waiting for the destined generation.

Therefore, there have always been many single people in the Taoist lineage, which is related to the practice concept of Taoist monks.

Taoism is different from Buddhism, Buddhism is to cultivate the next life, what is sought is to have a good reincarnation in the next life, pay attention to the practice of entering the world, and accumulate good deeds, the consequence of which is that the temple door is wide open, and the good karma is accumulated, and it is more and more prosperous.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism flourished, but Taoism declined.

Taoism cultivates this life, with the purpose of becoming an immortal and attaining Taoism, and usually likes to stay in a cave, practicing for decades, hoping to become an immortal.

Because of the reason of the Taizhai, the Taoist monks did not accept many apprentices, and they were afraid of wasting time and affecting their own cultivation, so some simply did not accept apprentices, leaving only the secret books they had learned to leave them to the destined people.

Therefore, it is difficult for Taoism to flourish for a long time and not form a faction.

Until the time of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Daomen suffered a devastating blow and was almost cut off from the inheritance.

Later, the Taoists imitated the operation model of Buddhism and began to approach those in power in the hope that the preaching would be successful.

Since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the predecessors of Taoism frequently entered the world to preach, and once they changed the original doctrine of Taoism, they began to cater to those in power, and Taoism began to flourish.

Until the Southern Song Dynasty, Wang Chongyang was born, combined with the essence of Confucianism, Taoism and interpretation, and founded the Quanzhen Dao, and then the two sects of the north and south were merged, which has continued until modern times.

After Shi Tai found out that Wang Zhong had Taoist martial arts, he was not too strange, after all, Taoism was too hidden before, and many of the mastery of his predecessors were buried in the long river of time, and he thought that Wang Zhong was the kind of person who inadvertently obtained the divine skills of his predecessors.

In fact, Wang Zhong's "Songyang Heart Method" does belong to the Taoist lineage, but it just allows him to combine the essence of martial arts in several worlds, but it is essentially a Taoist secret book.

"The younger generation accidentally got the magic skills of the predecessors of the Daomen, and by chance cultivated to the current realm!" Wang Zhong couldn't explain the matter of the "Songyang Heart Method" clearly, so he could only selectively conceal Shi Tai.

"It's okay!" Shi Tai smiled slightly and said: "Since the poor Taoist master Venerable Ziyang Zhenren preached in the south, my sect has no longer swept away self-cherishing, if you have any problems in the essence of Taoism, you can ask me!"

Wang Zhong nodded, just having some questions.

Since opening up the second dantian, Wang Zhong's Songyang internal force has been upgraded inexplicably, and how to cultivate after that, he has also made difficulties, it just so happens that Shi Tai is the great master of the realm of heaven and man, and he is also a senior of the Daomen, Wang Zhong is not polite, and directly told Shi Tai about the current state of his Songyang internal force.

"What!?Xiaoyou actually married Nedan?!" Shi Tai was scared when he heard this!

Wang Zhong frankly showed Shi Tai the situation of the lower dantian, Songyang's internal force shrunk into a small ball, slowly rotating in the dantian, instinctively swallowing the essence of heaven and earth, isn't it like the highest achievement of the Daomen, "Neidan"?

Shi Tai didn't expect that Wang Zhong's Daomen inner family cultivation was so high that he directly sorted out the inner dan!

"Senior, am I a Taoist Jindan?" Wang Zhong said puzzled. In fact, he didn't know how he could come to Dantian Neidan.

"Taoism is divided into the Inner Dan School and the Outer Dan School, the Inner Dan School eats Xia and drinks dew, cultivates a mouthful of innate true qi, and the Outer Dan School opens the furnace for alchemy, hoping to practice an immortal golden pill!" Shi Tai explained to Wang Zhong.

"Today's official family is obsessed with the Wai Dan Sect, hoping to get an immortal golden pill, but unfortunately, for thousands of years, countless Dao Sect predecessors have failed!"

Wang Zhong was curious: "What about the Neidan faction?"

Shi Tai said with a smile: "The Inner Dan Sect focuses on Qi cultivation and cultivates a Nine-Turn Golden Pill. ”

"Jin Dan is not a pill, but a cultivation of a mouthful of innate true qi that intersects with life, polishing it to a transparent and flawless state, condensing the essence of the whole body in the dantian, turning into a ball, since then the essence and spirit are restrained and no longer leak out, and they can naturally prolong their life!"

"Xiaoyou is now in a state of inner dan, the true qi of the whole body is condensed in the dantian position, turned into a ball, and the qi of heaven and earth has an internal and external sense, that is, the realm of heaven and man in martial arts!"

"One step further is to use God as a fire, as an oven, to train this inner pill that intersects with lives to the supreme realm, and feather to ascend to the immortal!"

Wang Zhong suddenly became excited when he heard this, and he finally understood the path after the "Heaven and Man Realm".

Since breaking through the "Heaven and Man Realm", although Wang Zhong's cultivation has not increased every moment, the realm has stagnated, and he is even more confused about the road ahead!

Now that Shi Tai has revealed a trace of the realm after heaven and man, how can Wang Zhong not be happy.

"Senior Shi, I don't know what the realm is after heaven and man?" Wang Zhong asked.

Shi Tai smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "The poor Dao is now only in the realm of Inner Dan, if you can guide the little friend, why bother to wander in the world!"

Wang Zhong's face couldn't help but darken.

Shi Tai said at this time: "I wonder if Xiaoyou is interested in becoming a royal enshriner of the Great Song Dynasty?"

Wang Zhong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The junior doesn't mean to sell his life to the royal family!"

Shi Tai laughed and said: "Xiaoyou misunderstood, since Zhao Kuangyin's death, the oath of heaven and man has long existed in name only, and the Great Song royal family can't restrain me and others!"

Later, after Shi Tai's explanation, Wang Zhong understood what he meant.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin made a covenant between heaven and man, which could indeed restrain all the masters of the realm of heaven and man, and the court was able to develop steadily.

It's a pity that since Zhao Kuangyin's death, the oath of heaven and man is a joke, with the pride of a master of the realm of heaven and man, how can he obey the orders of the Great Song royal family.

People live in the world, there is always something to seek, the Great Song Dynasty royal family saw this and created an enshrinement system to attract masters of the heavenly and human realms to join.

After all, if you are a human being, you will be linked, no matter how high your martial arts are, you will always have relatives! There will always be disciples! Those people will always have to eat! You must always be subject to the control of the imperial court!

The imperial court provides what the masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm need, and the masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm protect the imperial power, and the two are not subordinate and subordinate relationships, but can only be regarded as mutually beneficial.

The emperor usually can't mobilize the masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm, and only when the dynasty is at the moment of life and death, the masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm will make a move, and they usually just take money and don't do anything.

This is the essence of the offering!

Shi Tai let Wang Zhong become the worship of the Great Song Dynasty is also for his good, after all, he has martial arts, but he has a wife and son, and the disciples are not, and he has the backing of the imperial court, and it will be more convenient for the family to act in the future.

There is another point, cultivation requires the four major elements of "wealth and law", among which there is no shortage of money Wang Zhong, and the other three are the same.

The Great Song Dynasty could provide Wang Zhong with these three things.

Back then, Chen Chuan Ancestor and Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin gambled and won Huashan, this is the reason.

"I need to think about it!" Wang Zhong knew the cause and effect, and he was still a little hesitant in his heart.

Shi Tai didn't persecute him, but said to Wang Zhong: "This matter is not urgent, it is up to Xiaoyou to become a royal family worship, but do you want to meet the current official family?"
