210 Daomen South Five Ancestors
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Taoism prevailed, especially in the southern region, and the power of Buddhism was comprehensively suppressed, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, the strength of the Taoist Quanzhen faction was unprecedentedly strong.
The Southern School of Quanzhen Dao respects the five predecessors of Taoism as the five ancestors of the South, and ranks the sages together with the Northern Seven Truths of the Northern School.
Beiqizhen is the seven disciples of Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Sect, Quanzhen Qizi, Ma Yu, Qiu Chuji, Tan Chuduan, Wang Chuyi, Hao Datong, Sun Buer, and Liu Chuxuan.
Unlike the seven veins of the northern faction, the five ancestors of the southern faction are a single lineage.
Ziyang Zhenren Zhang Boduan passed on Cui Xuan Zhenren Shi Xinglin, Shi Xinglin passed Zixian Zhenren Xue Daoguang, Xue Daoguang passed Cuixu Zhenren Chen Ni Pill, Chen Ni Pill passed Zi Qing Zhen Bai Yu Toad.
Bai Yuchan passed on Peng Yun, Liu Changyuan, Zhao Ruqu, Ye Guxi, etc., and gradually formed a Taoist school since then.
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the southern faction gradually merged with the view of the Quanzhen Tao in the north, and because its activities were mostly in the south, it was called the Southern Sect in later generations, and Zhang Ziyang and others were respected as the five ancestors of the South.
Wang Zhong didn't expect that the person in front of him would be Shi Tai, Shi Xinglin, the second Cuixuan Zhenren of the Southern Five Ancestors.
For later generations of Taoists, Shi Tai was not only a Taoist sage, but also a Taoist sage and idol, no less than a scholar who saw Confucius and Mencius.
Wang Zhong devoted himself to the Songshan faction back then, barely regarded as a Taoist lineage, and also respected the five ancestors of the south as holy, when he was apprenticed, Wang Zhong also bowed to the portrait of Shi Tai, and now when he sees the real person, he also feels that the world is mysterious.
At this time, Shi Tai did not have the reputation of later generations, and he was just famous when he counted the time, and he was regarded as the leader of Taoism in this era.
The Song Dynasty believed in Taoism, and Zhao Ji of Song Huizong respected Taoism as the state religion in order to live forever.
In terms of absurdity, only the later Ming Dynasty master emperor Zhu Houzhao, self-proclaimed "Zhenguo Gong" and "mighty general" can be compared.
Shi Tai, as one of the five ancestors of Taoism, is naturally not a simple character, and Wang Zhong can see through his cultivation of "heaven and man" at a glance.
After all, Tianlong is not a normal historical era, and it is not strange that the five ancestors of Taoism will do martial arts, but what puzzles Wang Zhong is why this Taoist sage found himself.
"Xiaoyou don't have to be surprised, the poor road is the royal worship of the Great Song Dynasty, and there are masters of the heavenly and human realms visiting the capital, and the poor road always has to come to say hello!" Shi Tai saw Wang Zhong's doubts, and explained with a smile.
Although Shi Tai is Wang Zhong's predecessor, he is also a Taoist master, and he is worshiped by the royal family, but the two are comparable, and he will not rely on the old and sell the old in front of Wang Zhong, and the two are considered equals.
It was the same with the sweeping monk at the beginning, after Wang Zhong broke through the "Heaven and Man Realm", he was commensurate with "friend".
"Junior Wang Zhong, I didn't expect to disturb the senior Qing Xiu, please forgive me!"
"It turned out to be the leader of the Wang Gang, and recently the beggar gang has become famous, and the poor road has been admired for a long time!" Shi Taizuo said.
After the two exchanged politeness, Wang Zhong took the initiative to invite Shi Tai to go to the capital to divide the beggars, and Shi Tai did not refuse, and happily went.
After coming to the rudder, Wang Zhong sent outsiders and found a secluded place to talk to Shi Tai in detail, and at this time Wang Zhong also understood what Shi Tai, the royal worship of the Great Song Dynasty, was?
Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty, established the country by force, and there was an agreement with Wulin at the beginning of the establishment of the country, the imperial court did not interfere in the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes could not disobey the official orders of the imperial court, and at the same time restrained the masters of the "Heaven and Human Realm".
It is not a matter of life and death, and the strong people in the realm of heaven and man must not affect the dynasty to fight for hegemony.
The strength of the powerhouses of the Heavenly and Human Realm is extraordinary, once they participate in the battle of the dynasty, it will have too much impact on the situation in the world, if two masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm fight in the Imperial City, then it will be okay.
Zhao Kuangyin is also a master of the Heavenly and Human Realm, has experienced the melee of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and has participated in the competition of several strong people in the Heavenly and Human Realm, and the influence and destructive power caused to the dynasty are simply no less than a million army.
is also because of the melee of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and when the Song Dynasty came, martial arts entered the last days, how many stunts were lost, how many strong people fell, and even Zhao Kuangyin himself died early because of an irreparable injury.
Feeling this, after Zhao Kuangyin founded the country, he summoned all the masters of the "Heaven and Man Realm" in the Central Plains, and negotiated with various countries to restrict the "Heaven and Man Realm" from making moves.
It happened that at that time, the masters of the "Heaven and Man Realm" were also tired of the cruelty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and everyone signed a treaty together, and if either party broke the contract, the world would attack it together.
With the death of Zhao Kuangyin, this paper treaty has also been handed down, but unfortunately, the irony is that the martial arts have entered the end of the world, and the masters of the heavenly and human realms have gradually become scarce, and they have slowly disappeared from the world.
Later, in order to recruit the masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm, the Great Song Dynasty proposed an offering system and paid a large amount of remuneration to let the masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm sit in the palace, one is to protect the royal family, and the other is to deter other countries.
Shi Tai is the royal family of this generation of the Great Song Dynasty, and usually Song Huizong can't command him, only when the royal family is in crisis, or when a strong person in the realm of heaven and man appears, he will be dispatched.
After all, heaven and man are not human, but in essence, there are desires and obstacles.
Shi Tai's knowledge obstacle is the inheritance of Taoism, so he became the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty and received the support of the imperial court for Taoism.
The masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm also have the helplessness of the masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm, just like the sweeping monk who takes a fancy to the inheritance of Shaolin Buddhism, Wang Zhong wants to turn the tide and prevent the "shame of Jingkang".
Shi Tai is not only helpless, but also naturally has the pride of the celestial master, unless the celestial master of the same realm makes a move, even if Zhao Ji kneels in front of him, he will not want to let him make a move.
At the beginning, Zhao Ji was hunted down and killed by the four great Manichaean kings, Shi Tai didn't feel it, but he just didn't make a move, the emperor didn't do anything else, and Zhao Ji died, so naturally someone else succeeded him.
Now that Wang Zhong, a master of the realm of heaven and man, appeared in the capital, Shi Tai appeared, precisely because he was the royal family and his duty.
"Senior Shi, I don't know how many people are still in the royal family like yours?" After understanding the situation, Wang Zhong asked the question he was most concerned about.
If Wang Zhong wants to stop the "shame of Jingkang", he will inevitably intervene in the imperial court, and the masters of the realm of heaven and man are unavoidable hurdles.
"Now it's the end of martial arts, there are not many masters in the realm of heaven and man, the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty worships one person in the poor realm, as for the other masters of the realm of heaven and man, the poor dao knows that there is one in the Dalun Temple in Tubo, there is one hidden in the Shaolin Temple, and there is one in the Da Liao I heard!"
Shi Tai glanced at Wang Zhong and said calmly: "I see that Xiaoyou's Shaolin Yijin Sutra cultivation has reached the realm of black-level floating slaughter, I'm afraid it has a lot to do with the old immortal in Shaolin!"
Wang Zhong smiled slightly, and the power of the "Black-level Floating Slaughter" on his body was compressed to the limit, without leaking a trace of breath, and at this time, the "Songyang Internal Force" of the lower dantian slowly emerged.
At this moment, Shi Tai's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Hey, Xiaoyou even got my Taoist true inheritance? I don't know which lineage of predecessors it is?"
