The basket woman and her son didn't know the weight of the book, but Zhu Tianpeng understood. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He was about to find someone to help him explain the Taoist terminology on the "Taiqing Daojue", since the Eternal Life Palace is a Taoist temple, and recruiting Taoist children everywhere to expand the scale, most of them are more powerful Taoist priests, which is in line with Lao Zhu's intentions.
So, he stole the Deng family's book!
Anyway, the son of the basket-weaving woman was reluctant to leave home and go to Tiancang Mountain, which happened to be cheaper than Lao Zhu.
There is Deng Fugui's name on the book, and Lao Zhu wants to enter the Eternal Life Palace, and he has to be a grandson.
In order to dress up more decently, he found another village, stole a coarse cloth robe, and threw down the spear he had obtained from Captain Zhang.
and pretend to be a country boy who has never seen the world, so that ordinary people can't see anything wrong.
Dressed up, he went to a small town first, intending to inquire more about the affairs of the Immortal Palace.
There are not many residents in the town, Zhu Tianpeng asked someone to inquire, and the people were also very enthusiastic, they had all heard about the recruitment of people in the Immortal Palace, but none of them knew the details.
Finally, an enthusiastic aunt told him that there was a dilapidated house in the corner of the town, and an old Taoist priest lived in it not long ago, and Zhu Tianpeng could go to the old Taoist priest to ask.
Zhu Tianpeng found the dilapidated house and the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest is very old, wearing a dirty Taoist robe, his beard is gray and quite long, and he has grown to the lower abdomen.
Seeing the appearance of the old Taoist, Zhu Tianpeng felt like a hidden master who was mixed with the dust, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying, "Boy Deng Guang, I have seen the Taoist." ”
Since he wants to impersonate, he naturally has to do a full set, Lao Zhu has already thought about his identity, the surname Deng is a must, and the name takes one of his own "light" words.
He also knew about the situation of the basket woman's family, and the place where he lived was Xiutang Village under the rule of Yicheng, and the woman's son was called Deng Feng, and Lao Zhu, "Deng Guang", was Deng Feng's eldest brother.
The old Taoist priest was meditating, he opened his eyes when he heard the sound, his eyes were cloudy, and when he saw Zhu Tianpeng suddenly entering the dilapidated house, he didn't move, and the old voice asked calmly: "What is the matter with the old Tao?"
This calmness is not something that a down-and-out old man can have, he is more cautious, and salutes: "The kid wants to go to Tiancang Mountain to learn the Tao, and I heard that the elder is practicing here, so I came to ask for advice." ”
The old Taoist priest looked at Zhu Tianpeng carefully and asked, "How old are you, have you ever been literate?"
is old enough to answer, Zhu Tianpeng reported a nineteen, his "Deng Guang" is his elder brother, and he can't be younger than Deng Feng. As for the issue of literacy, it was something that Zhu Tianpeng had not thought of before. If you want to learn the Tao, then you will be able to "read and write".
Hearing Zhu Tianpeng say literacy, the old Taoist priest finally had an expression on his face, and praised: "Good literacy!"
Then, the old Taoist priest glanced at Zhu Tianpeng again and said, "You came to the door empty-handed like this to ask for advice?"
This old way is quite exquisite. Lao Zhu hurriedly said: "The boy's family is poor, and food and clothing are problems, so ......"
The old Taoist priest rolled his eyes and said, "Since you are a poor family, how can you get money for you to learn to read and write?"
Zhu Tianpeng was dumbfounded, this is a big loophole.
Poor families have neither the money nor the leisure to educate their children. Small-scale farmers are economically self-sufficient, doing manual work, and it really doesn't matter if they are literate or not, and it is better to buy some household goods if they have spare money.
Zhu Tianpeng was embarrassed and didn't know how to explain. The old Taoist priest spoke again: "You still dare to deceive the old Taoist? Since you have money on you, why don't you ask the old Taoist to ask for advice after you have eaten and drunk enough?
He did have money on him, and he got it from Zhang Duwei. When stealing the books, he left most of the silver tickets in the wooden box containing the books, and only kept a ten-tael for himself.
This old Taoist priest also has a point, but this naked request has greatly reduced his superior demeanor.
Zhu Tianpeng was helpless, so he had to invite the old Taoist priest to a big meal at the small inn in the town.
After he was full of wine and food, he followed the old Taoist priest back to the dilapidated house.
The old Taoist priest benefited from it, and his speech became much more easy-going: "Since you are sincere to the Tao, the old Taoist will guide you." If you want to go to Tiancang Mountain, you must worship the way of the Heavenly Master. The Heavenly Master Dao originated from the Five Buckets of Rice Sect, created by Zhang Daoling, and the true transmission is all in the Zhang family. For example, the Fan family on Cangshan today is just a side branch. ”
Zhu Tianpeng didn't care about the true transmission and side branches, he just wanted to find someone to explain Taoist terms.
He saw that the old Taoist priest knew the situation of the Heavenly Master Dao so well, and his knowledge was not bad, so he should have some ability, if he could figure out those Taoist terms through the old Taoist, what else would he go to Tiancang Mountain?
Zhu Tianpeng was not in a hurry to speak out, because the old Taoist priest was still continuing: "The Heavenly Master Tao obeys the Taishang Laojun, and the teachings come from the Tao Te Ching, and the "Lao Tzu Xiang'er Note" created by the Zhang family is just a family's words, and it should not be Taoist orthodoxy. ”
This is quite unusual, could it be that something has happened to the Heavenly Master Dao in this world, and why is it not orthodox? You must know that in the time and space where Lao Zhu was originally located, the Heavenly Master Dao has a long history, and the name of the Heavenly Master is widely known.
I only heard Lao Dao continue: "If you really learn the Dao, the best choice is the Taiping Fu Dao. ”
Taiping Fu Dao, what the hell is this?
Zhu Tianpeng was a little stunned and asked, "Taiping Fu Dao, what famous Taoist masters have you ever seen?"
"Ahem!" the old Taoist priest coughed twice and replied: "The Taiping Fu Dao is a hidden sect, much older than the Heavenly Master Dao, and has a high status in the cultivation world, but it is not obvious in the mundane. ”
Zhu Tianpeng thought about it and felt that it made sense. The really powerful sect is always high above and does not eat the fireworks of the world.
But he still had some questions: "Taiping Fu Dao is so powerful, how can it be completely secretive, there will always be a few representative figures, right?"
The old Taoist priest listened, straightened his back, and said: "The old Taoist guards the lack of sons, the ninth generation of the Taiping Fu Dao, and he should be the representative of the Taiping Fu Dao today." ”
Zhu Tianpeng was dumbfounded, this old Taoist priest is the head of the Taiping Fu Dao?
I really think that the Taiping Fu Dao is some kind of great Taoist sect! This old Taoist priest is boasting about himself, right? Looking at his down-to-earth appearance, he is still the ninth generation in charge? It is estimated that he is the only one in the entire Taiping Fu Dao!
Shaking his head, Zhu Tianpeng smiled self-deprecatingly. After thinking about it again, he didn't know the situation in this world, and what the old Taoist priest said was not necessarily false, so he asked: "Daoist, do you have any other famous people in the Taiping Fu Dao?"
The old Taoist priest hesitated for a moment before replying: "Among the second-generation disciples, there is a man named Zhang Jiao, who has some reputation and is known as a great sage and good teacher by the world. ”
Zhang Jiao is a second-generation disciple? People are Taiping Dao, you are Taiping Fu Dao, do you have a spectrum or not?
Besides, does Zhang Jiao just have some reputation? The reputation of other people has shaken the whole world, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion he led is a major historical event, and no one who has read history and the novels of the Three Kingdoms does not know him.
Immediately afterwards, the old Taoist priest who claimed to be guarding the missing son was afraid that Zhu Tianpeng would misunderstand, and explained: "Actually, Zhang Jiao is only a second-generation registered disciple, not a descendant, but only a transmission of the Taiping Sutra. ”
Zhu Tianpeng blinked his eyes twice, looking at the old Taoist, not knowing what to say!
The old Taoist priest has so much experience in life, when he saw Zhu Tianpeng's expression, he knew that he didn't believe it. So, he raised his hand and pointed to a cloth banner in the corner of the broken house, and said, "This is the faith of my Taiping Fu Dao Sect, the Taiping Divine Flag." Where the divine flag goes, all the people of the Taiping Fu Daomen must obey their orders and must not be disobeyed. ”
Look carefully at the flag, a long pole carrying a flag, the long pole is black and can not see the texture, the flag can be roughly seen to be yellow, but it has not been washed for many years, wrinkled, and can barely recognize the five big characters written on the banner is "Yifu Bao Taiping".
