28. Pulpit conspiracy theories

Taoism is one of the oldest religions in China, the earliest legend is in the doctrine of Lao Tzu, Taoism, together with Confucianism and law, was one of the three great religions in China.

Taoism was created by Zhang Daoling during the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is also known as Zhang Tianshi.

Wudang Mountain is an important branch of Taoism, the main Taishang Laojun 82 generations incarnated as the Xuanwu Emperor, since Taizong Emperor Zhu Di rebuilt Wudang, Wudang has since become the master of Taoism in the world, and now it has been more than 100 years.

On the dojo outside the Zixiao Palace in Wudang, near the gate of the Zixiao Palace, at this time, there has been a podium about three feet long, about two feet wide, and about half a foot high, all paved with red cloth, which is very festive.

At this time, there is a long seat on the stage, there is a low stool in the seat, and the old Taoist priest is holding the *** De Jing and is speaking on the stage, this person is the purple Taoist of Wudang.

Hundreds of people in the dojo under the stage were neatly arranged in a line of people at this time, all of them were meditating with their legs crossed, watching the Taoist on the stage speak, and then there were many pilgrims around.

The top row is of course the heads of several major sects, and Du Yi is not forgetting that a few people are meditating in the middle row.

I only heard the purple-clothed Taoist on the stage say:

"Holding on to the profit, not as good as oneself: one can not keep it for a long time. The hall is full of gold and jade, and Mo Zhi can keep it: rich and proud, and he is to blame: he retires after success, and the way of heaven is also".

After the purple-clothed Taoist finished speaking, he asked the audience:

"Knowable".

At this time, Du did not forget to listen to it and said to a few people around him:

"Isn't this the Tao Te Ching, I hate these hypocritical and selfish words."

At this time, Du Buyi stood up and said loudly to the purple-clothed Taoist on the stage:

"I understand the meaning of this sentence, that is, after persuading people to become famous, they can quit, so as not to lose the festival."

At this time, the purple-clothed Taoist said with a smile:

"This benefactor, you are careless but understand a little, but this statement is a bit exaggerated."

Du did not forget to say:

"I know that there were Shang Jun in the past, and Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty was not guaranteed in the later years, but Tao Zhu Gongming's righteousness was admired by future generations as the great man of success, if future generations are like this, how can there be Marshal Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang and other loyal and courageous people who sacrificed their lives for the country."

Then he said:

"The great man of chivalry is to sacrifice his life for the country and sacrifice his life for righteousness, not after becoming famous, he does not care about right and wrong, and is good for himself."

At this time, many onlookers coaxed:

"This young man is really arrogant, like there are few people today."

The purple-clothed Taoist didn't forget it, and continued to explain to the others, and after a while, he read:

"Taishang, I don't know what I have: secondly, I am afraid of it: secondly, I am afraid of it: secondly, I insult it: I don't believe enough, I don't believe it: I don't believe it, and its noble words: I am afraid of 'I nature'."

Then Zhu Er got up and replied:

"What the head of the family said, does the good ruler refer to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty? The worse ruler is Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty? The average ruler can refer to Emperor Yang of Sui? The poor ruler can refer to Liu Banghu, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty"?

Then he continued:

"Han Gaozu's lack of integrity is known to the world, and the people despised him a lot at that time, but he created a four-hundred-year foundation of the Han Dynasty: a well-known tyrant with Emperor Yang, but he laid the foundation for our Ming Dynasty's current fortune and territory: Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, became a famous and good emperor, but in the end he had no way to govern the country, and he became a slave to the country with good poetry: in the end, Emperor Han Xian, but people didn't know that he existed, but he became a good emperor as the sage said, isn't it ridiculous"?

Zhu Er smiled after speaking, and sat down.

The purple-clothed Taoist replied:

"This young man's explanation is also a bit extreme, our Taoism pays attention to the rule of inaction, and Huang Lao's learning is the original intention."

After speaking, he continued to explain the Tao Te Ching.

After a while, I read:

"For nothing, nothing to do, tasteless, how big and small, complain to virtue".

At this time, Du Buyi stood up again and said to the purple-clothed master:

"In this world, the Tao Te Ching has been passed down for so long, and I haven't seen a Taoist priest really do it, others can't fight back, scold and don't return the mouth, and calm things down, but I often see people in the name of cultivation, defrauding money everywhere, oppressing the people, and there are monks everywhere in brothels and gambling houses, which is really a pity."

At this time, Ziyi said to Du Yi with an angry face:

"This young benefactor, this is the dojo, Hugh insults the words of the saints, and I hope to be cautious."

After a while, the purple-clothed Taoist finished explaining the Tao Te Ching, and now it was Wang Yangming's turn to be the Taoist.

I only heard the first sentence of Wang Daochang say:

"Those who plant trees must cultivate their roots, and those who plant virtue must nourish their hearts."

There was a burst of clapping from the audience, all of which said:

"Okay, it's still the king's ability to learn the heart is admirable."

This was naturally deliberately brought up by Du Buyi and a few people, and at this time, the purple-clothed head who was sitting on the side just finished speaking, his face was ugly.

When the king reads:

"The things of the world, it is not difficult to gain, but it is easy to lose: if it accumulates soon, it will not be grand".

Du Buyi asked:

"It's not difficult to get things in the world, why did I once like a person, but he finally left me because of glory and wealth."

Wang Dao Chang replied:

"Just like things in the world, some things are uncertain, especially in terms of the relationship between men and women, if you like him alone, if he likes you and values you, you can naturally be together, although he likes you, but he prefers some material things, even if it is reluctant, it is not worth the loss."

Du Cheng said:

"Wang Daochang, I know, thank you for this sentence."

Then Wang Daochang read again:

"We must seek life and death from the roots, and do not argue to the tributaries."

At this time, the purple-clothed head who had not spoken for a long time said to the king on the stage:

"Senior Brother Wang, but he used to study under Wudang, why is he now setting up his own door, this can be fundamentally refuted with Senior Brother Wang."

Wang Daochang glanced at the purple-clothed head and said:

"Although the poor road is taught in Wudang, but the poor road has dedicated most of his life to the imperial court, and the poor road said that he must fundamentally seek life and death, to the effect that he should persuade people to be single-minded, and not to be mistaken by the villain's words, let alone fight with the villain."

There was an instant cheer from the audience, and naturally a few people brought it up.

At this time, the purple-clothed leader's face was very difficult to look at.

At this time, a Taoist priest secretly ran to the purple-clothed head and whispered:

"Everything is ready, the boss just has to wait".

At this time, Du Buyi saw someone sneaking around the purple-clothed Taoist and walked to the back after speaking, so he quietly followed, followed the Taoist priest for a short time, and disappeared, and immediately chased it to take a look, and found that there were many people ambushed near the dojo, and even found Zhang Hamu, and then Du Buyi hurriedly looked in the direction of the Wudang exit, and found that at this time, many of his people began to go down the mountain, and even the mountain gate guards were a lot more, and he suddenly felt different.

He rushed back to the dojo, only to find that the crowd of onlookers around the dojo had left one after another, but hundreds of people and celebrities in the dojo were still listening to the Taoist Wang preaching here, and they didn't notice that the onlookers had left.

Du Bu did not forget to meditate on the ground before coming back, and whispered to Feng Niang, Zhu Er and the others about what happened just now.

Zhu Sanmei first said:

"Let's go quickly, I'm afraid this is a life-threatening thing."

Du Buyi replied:

"The Taoist chief and a group of people from the rivers and lakes are still here, how can we go at will, should we notify them now."

Feng Niang said at this time:

"At this time, the Taoist sermon is rising, if we disturb, it is really inappropriate, besides, there are so many people in the rivers and lakes to accompany us, Wudang and we have never met, I don't think they dare to do anything to damage the reputation of Wudang, let's just wait and see what happens."

At this time, a few people quieted down and continued to listen to the Taoist chief's arguments, only Du Cheng never forgot that he had a bad premonition.
