Qin Zheng shook his head, sighed, and looked at his father. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Father Qin glanced at his eldest son, then snorted coldly, slammed the teacup down, and reprimanded: "Is Changsheng so easy to ask for? Emperor Qin and Han Wu, as well as the Taizong of this dynasty, how wise and martial are they? Rich from all over the world, dignified and respected by the Son of Heaven, pursuing the Immortal Dao, he is still deceived by Fang Shi. Not to mention you, yellow-mouthed child?"

"Father is right. ”

Qin Zheng was helpless, so he had to echo and said: "Immortality and magic elixirs are all things used by Jianghu warlocks to coax the rich and powerful, unreliable things." In this Tang Dynasty, only the study of Confucius and Mencius, the Confucian imperial examination, fame and wealth, is the right way out. ”

Qin Zheng said secretly, if it is an ordinary historical plane, with my thousand-year-old knowledge, "copying poems and texts, boiling wine and salt, steel, glass, gunpowder and firearms" several treasures of the traverser are in hand. Although he didn't dare to brag about the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, he made a new revolution and created a dynasty. But in the midst of a prosperous era and a chaotic world, there is still some certainty. It's a pity that in this world of immortals, my ambition is not here.

In his heart, he replied: "Father's words are wrong. Gu Xian said well, although there is a hundred years in life, life and poverty are unpredictable, a hundred years of time is shining, a lifetime of fame is blistering, if you don't cultivate the road to get lost, how can you be a husband even if you are virtuous? This person who is an official, life and death, blessings and misfortunes, are all in the thought of the superior, the dynasty is Zhu Zi, and the twilight is a prisoner. What is there to pursue in the imperial examination?"

Hearing this, Qin Zheng sighed inexplicably, as if he had felt something.

Qin Zhengling's teeth were sharp, and Qin's father couldn't think of a suitable rebuttal for a while, so he was a little annoyed and angry, grabbed the teacup and threw it over: "You can't do this, you can't do martial arts, it's such a lofty thing." If it weren't for the fact that your Lao Tzu and eldest brother still have some skills and saved this little family business, you would be afraid that your livelihood would be a problem, and you would still have the leisure to learn the Tao and cultivate immortals? Hmph!

"Hmph, if you can't explain the reason, you will be rude. ”

Qin Zheng had expected it, grunted, and deftly avoided it. Learning the host's tone, he held his head high and shouted: "I don't care, anyway, my head hurts when I see the sage book, and I'm not good at scheming, so I can't be an official." Anyway, you gave birth to it, instead of forcing me to study, it is better to beat me to death with a stick now, and it is more enjoyable. ”

"Ahem, you rebel, do you want to be angry with me?", Father Qin's chest kept rising and falling, and he was choked with anger.

"The younger brother is really, and he still doesn't admit his mistake to his father? The father is also angry, beware of being angry. ”

Qin Zheng hurriedly stroked the old man's chest and gave him relief. Then he gave his brother a look and motioned for him to step back first.

Qin Zheng understood, and tiptoed to prepare to slip away.

Father Qin roared angrily: "You dare to let him go? Come on, take this rebel to the ancestral hall and think about it behind closed doors for three days. In addition, when he went to the account office, he gave an order, and cut off his monthly rule, and lost all the money for nothing, so that he could see if the warlocks still ignored him?"

Outside the door, the people peeked inside, as if they hadn't heard, and then they each shrank back, thinking that they were already familiar with similar scenes.

Father Qin was furious, and scolded and urged a few words, and the people shrank and hugged in, pretending to pull.

Sure enough, not long after, there was an angry roar from behind the screen: "Old thing, do you really want to force Zheng'er to death?"

A woman in a skirt with kind eyebrows came out of the inner hall, and hugged Qin Zheng: "Follow Weiniang, see who dares to stop you?"

"Hello old lady!", the subordinates hurriedly saluted, and then scattered as birds and beasts.

This woman is none other than his mother in this life, Qin An. Speaking of which, this Tongjitang originally belonged to her family, and it was precisely because of her discerning vision of heroes that she married an old man who was a partner in her own medicine hall that the Qin family had such a beautiful scenery today. The old man thought of this benefit, so he loved and respected her. In the eyes of others, it is fear of guilt.

Qin An's twenty gave birth to Qin Zheng, and he was nearly fifty years old before he had Qin Zheng.

As the old saying goes, the old son, the eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the elderly. Therefore, he usually dotes on his young son the most, and he is obedient. Mo said that he was just going to ask for immortals, even if he was to be the Jade Emperor in the sky, Lao An was afraid that he would immediately go out to build a ladder for him.

The old wife protects her shortcomings and intervenes horizontally, and the great cause of training her son will naturally end without a problem.

The mother and the mother both walked outside the door, and her comforting voice could still be heard indoors: "It's okay, the old thing broke your monthly rule, where do you still have some private money for your mother..."

The father and son looked at each other, and Qin Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Old Man Qin grabbed the teacup and slammed it hard: "It's really a loving mother and a loser, you just get used to it, sooner or later there will be a time for you to cry." ”

Qin Zheng was silent for a while, and only after his father's anger had calmed down a little did he comfort: "Actually, the child thinks that the words of the younger brother are not completely unreasonable. He has always been pampered by his mother, and has developed a gentlemanly temperament who does not understand the world, not to mention that he has hated reading since he was a child, and he does not understand the scriptures and righteousness, even if we dredge the joints and force him to achieve fame, and enter this career, with his temperament, I am afraid that it will be more of a disaster than a blessing. ”

Master Qin replied: "How do I not know this? With his arrogant temperament, he has really entered the official career, and the Qin family is afraid that he will be implicated by him and end up with a full house of beheadings." In the past, I asked him to read the books of sages, but I hoped that he would cultivate his self-cultivation, learn some truths, and make progress, and then we would donate a name for him, and with your care, he would also be able to inherit the family business and be a Justice of the Peace for a lifetime. I'd like to do it!"

Hearing this, Qin Zheng was also quite moved, secretly blaming himself for being obsessed with his career in the past, and in order to avoid criticism from his colleagues, he cared a little less about his younger brother.

He also felt a little guilty and hurriedly pleaded guilty to his father. "My father has good intentions, and he has worked hard for his younger brother, and he has planned in every possible way... It's a child, really, what a shame!"

After thinking about it for a while, he suggested: "The child thinks that if the father really doesn't expect the younger brother to glorify his ancestors, but only wants him to inherit the family business and die peacefully, it is not a clear way to enter the Tao." ”

At this time, Old Man Qin also calmed down, and when he heard the words, he touched his chin and groaned.

Indeed, the Tang Dynasty Chongdao can really enter the Tao, and it is not inferior to the imperial examination.

It's just because this royal family, the Lee family, originally originated from the previous generation of North Korean military households, and has the blood of the Hu people in the Western Regions. Although the royal family is secretive about this, it is a matter known to the government and the public, and it is not a secret. In view of this, Gaozu Taiyuan raised troops, and after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, in order to raise the door, he attached Li Er, the ancestor of Taiqing Dao, as the ancestor, to show that his family is a descendant of the saint Miao and an authentic Chinese bloodline.

In the Gaozong Dynasty, Lao Tzu was named Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan, and he became more and more favored by Taoism. Later, in order to eliminate the influence of the Li family and stabilize the regime, the Empress Wu compiled Tang Lizhou, and claimed to be the reincarnation of the "Pure Light Heavenly Girl" of Sanskrit, worshipping Buddha and degrading Taoism, during which Taoism declined for a time. But now after the restoration of the Son of Heaven Xuanzong, Taoism has returned to its old outlook and has become more and more prosperous.

In the four hundred years since the founding of the country, it is not uncommon for princesses and concubines of all dynasties to become monks!

In the Tang Dynasty, although Taoist priests cannot participate in political affairs, they are really noble. If the commoners obtained the status of regular Taoist priests, it would be like a move in the field, and from then on, they would leap into the dragon gate and become a privileged class. Not only is it free from labor and taxes, but it is also qualified to build a viewing enclosure and collect rent.

It is precisely because the Taoist priests have many privileges and conveniences, so although the Son of Heaven loves this, but the Confucian princes in the court are somewhat resistant, although they dare not oppose it openly, there are some yang and yin in secret, not only the degree of strict control, issued by the center, but also set up Taoist officials, the world's Taoist priests are regularly assessed, and those who do not learn no skills, do not understand the scriptures, and misbehave, must take back the degree and return to the original form.

Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, the formal Taoist priest is really a rare thing, with the faint suppression of Confucianism, and its difficulty is actually greater than that of scientific research.

Although there are some forces in the one-third of an acre of land in Jeju City, it is not enough to see it when it is obtained from the court, and I dare not say that I will definitely be able to get a Taoist priest for the young son who is not successful. On the contrary, it is easier to dredge the examiner and operate.

To be honest, in contrast, because Confucianism has the backing of Confucianism, it is easier not to mention making money, and the risk is almost none. Let's talk about the rise and fall of the door, it depends on the preference of the heavenly family. This is not the case with Confucianism. No matter which family wins the world, Confucianism must be used to govern state affairs. Therefore, for the family, the interests of being an official are more long-term.

After accounting for the costs and benefits in this way, my mind was lighter, but I thought that my eldest son was quite stable and would not be untargeted, so I asked: "In this way, you must have a good way?"

"Father is really wise!"

Qin Zheng smiled and replied, "It's also the luck of the younger brother." A few days ago, the child received a reply from Li Weng Shenguang, the seat teacher of the prefect of Huaizhou, who was promoted, and mentioned a strange incident. Last year, when the Huai River flooded, an evil Jiao took the opportunity to make waves, flooding thousands of acres of fertile land in the middle and lower reaches, and destroying countless houses. Fortunately, the Yuan Zhen Dao Bao Yuan Dao people inspected the Yuan Zhen Taoist Temple in the world, happened to pass by Huaizhou, saw this demon brutalized Li Min, and fought with a sword in its vicious fight for three days in anger, and finally asked the Nine Heavens God Thunder to kill this evil Jiao, so as not to cause a big disaster. Otherwise, I'm afraid that my division will run back to Jeju before the seat of Tongzhi is hot. ”

"Oh, Yuan Zhen Dao, but the Dao system handed down by Wang Yuanji, the Zhiyang Zhenren who attained the Tao in the previous dynasty?"

Hearing this, Father Qin was in good spirits.

Although he is a businessman, he also knows that his family is divided into two branches: the worldly immortal gate and the secular Taoist gate.

The former is the most common. This is what is popular in Datang at the moment.

Such secular Taoist disciples can at most use their hands to use fists and feet to swordsmanship, and the kung fu of talisman spells. If it comes to fortune-telling and interpreting believers, eighty or ninety percent of the Taoists in the world are experts. If it comes to acupuncture and moxibustion, pulling out diseases but getting sick, etc., there are also three Taoist people who can do it. But if you want to ask these Daomen disciples to kill demons and eliminate demons, it is difficult for strong people, and it is purely to send snacks to the demons to taste.

Most of the so-called masters that young sons come into contact with are like this. If you really want to talk about it, some of them are afraid that they don't even believe in the matter of immortality, but they just regard entering the Tao as a job.

The old man Qin has been a businessman for many years, and he has traveled south and north, and he is used to seeing such professional Taoist priests who make a living from sesame oil money. There is nothing strange about such people except that they are eloquent and can speak habitually. is also born, old, sick and dead, no different from the vulgar, and even some people who are usually negligent in exercising, and their physique is not as strong as that of ordinary mountain villagers.

Old Man Qin knew the disadvantages of secular Taoism, so he was disgusted with his young son learning Taoism and was more inclined to Confucianism.

Of course, if it is an immortal gate outside the world, then it is a different matter. To be honest, no one will be disgusted with the orthodox immortal sect and the strange people with real talents. It's just that there are many false Taoists in the world, and there are few true Taoists, and they can't be found.

All kinds of immortal deeds outside the world, there are often rumors in the market, someone has an adventure in a certain year and a place, and was crossed by the immortals, and his wife and children are old after returning, but his face is not decaying, just like the same year. Boring literati talk about it, make poems for it, and even do good deeds for it.

But at the end of the day, few people are lucky enough to see real immortals. The theory of the immortal gate outside the world is just a legend in the end.

Only this Yuan Zhen Dao is an exception, and it can be regarded as a sect between the worldly preaching sect and the worldly immortal sect.

This Taoist school has been established for hundreds of years, the patriarch Wang Yuanji was originally a former Sui down-and-out scholar, it is said that because of the middle-aged to see through the red dust, the heart of seeking immortals is very earnest. Then he felt that the Emperor of Donghua of the Heavenly Court was in the lower realm, and awarded the "Nine Immortal Texts" and the "Twenty-four Decisions of the Taiqing Divine Pill".

After Wang Yuanji obtained the law, he hid in Tianzhu Mountain and practiced hard for 50 years, and his way was completed.

Because this patriarch Wang Yuanji was born in Confucianism, he is different from the ordinary immortals who only care about their own leisure, and there are quite some Confucian ambitions to rule the country and level the world in his bones. It is said that after his enlightenment, he was not in a hurry to ascend, but traveled around, slaying demons and demons, and founded the Taoist system, and accepted ten disciples, until the end of the Sui Dynasty, before he ascended.

It is said that the disciples of the younger generations, inheriting the legacy of the ancestors, will go down the mountain to walk after they have achieved cultivation, so as to kill demons, help the poor, help the poor, and benefit the people. It is famous and praised by the world.

The second generation of the master Qiu Xuanji is even more profound, predicting the destiny of heaven, and ordering his disciples to go down the mountain to assist the Tang Dynasty, and make meritorious achievements. Therefore, the Gaozu Dynasty crowned his teacher Wang Yuanji as a real person, and when Taizong Gaozong was in power, he was also rewarded repeatedly. In the Xuanzong Dynasty, he was not only named the true monarch, but also made a big deal to give the eight thousand miles of Heavenly Cane Mountain to Yuan Zhendao as a dojo.

In the territory of the Tang Dynasty, there are Yuan Zhendao's views, and disciples are stationed to help the world and save the people, and benefit one party.

Therefore, this Yuan Zhen Dao is even the most well-known Immortal Dao sect among ordinary people. However, although this path is a household name, it has not been heard of for decades about the spread of miracles or great merits. Therefore, Master Qin originally thought that this Yuan True Dao was just an empty appearance, and it was no different from the secular Dao. Climbing the official mansion, expanding everywhere just to fight for incense offerings.

Now it seems that there is no lack of merit and compassion in this Yuan Zhen Dao, otherwise, if the Huai River is allowed to stir up waves, I don't know how many Li people will suffer.
