Chapter Seventy-One: Firewood to God
"Since the ancient emperors sealed Mount Tai, there have been many disasters. But it's the reason for the lack of accumulation," Wen Fei talked eloquently: "Dengfeng reports to the sky, and descends to Zen to remove the earth." Yi surname and king, to the peace, will be sealed Mount Tai, Zen Liang father, the mandate of heaven to be the king, so that the people of the people, sue the peace in the sky, repay the work of the gods. ”
After a pause, he said: "To put it bluntly, it is just to negotiate with the gods with the luck of the world!"
I see! Zhao Ji suddenly realized that a sentence was actually a mystery for the ages by Wen Fei.
"Xia has Yu, Shang has soup. Zhou Wenwu, known as the Three Kings. Xia Chuanzi, the family is all over the world. Four hundred years, the summer society. Tang Vaxia, a national name merchant. At this time, the three-character scripture has been written about Mo, and I am afraid that it has not been circulated on a large scale.
However, this kind of enlightenment reading is the simplest for an emperor like Zhao Ji, who is versatile and has profound literary and artistic qualities. I don't know what the Great Heavenly Master of Daowen meant by saying this?
"Dayu passed on the son, Yin Shang replaced him. In the so-called "Yin Benji", Tang is better than summer and wants to move to the summer society. No, it is a summer club. Wen Fei smiled and said: "The merchant failed to inherit the Shinto of Xia, but set up a Shinto religion and took the emperor as the emperor of heaven. Zhou Renge is the Mandate of Heaven, not the emperor, but the king. But it's no longer the grandson of the emperor!"
"The name of the Son of Heaven in the future is all in vain!" Zhao Ji sighed.
Master Wen nodded and said, "Yes, so the great masters of the past dynasties have to seal this Mount Tai, that is, to establish the order of the Divine Tao between heaven and earth."
It's just that these gods are used to being at ease, so where are they willing to find someone to control them? even dealt with the First Emperor with his own hands, and the so-called ancestral dragon died and divided ......"
"So when it came to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. simply leave aside the ancient Shinto and ignore it, and use the method of the Ram School and Dong Zhongshu's theory. Heaven and man induction, recreate Shinto. Not to mention that Taiyi replaces Haotian, it is to seal Mount Tai, and all the gifts used are sacrificed to Taiyi. In the future, because of this, it is difficult to return!"
"It seems that they have all failed...... Zhao Ji said with a sigh.
"Not really, the revival of Guangwu is to get the help of the power of ghosts and gods. From the end of the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the study of prophecy prevailed. The power of the ghosts and gods is unfolding. ”
The rest of the words are not good to say to Zhao Ji.
Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty dreamed of the Jin people and sent an envoy to the Western Regions to pray for Buddhism. I invited back to India's two high monks, Jiaye Morteng, and Zhu Falan to carry Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues on white horses. Since then. Buddhism began to flourish in Middle-earth.
The originally scattered and unorganized local gods were not opponents at all, and under the desperate thinking, in order to confront Buddhism, Taoism appeared.
However, in this way, the local Shinto has changed. Taoist Buddha competes for luck and declines. This is the chaotic times of the Northern and Southern Dynasties for hundreds of years.
After the Sui and Tang dynasties. The world is unified. The Taoist Buddha has always been in contention. However, Taoism has always held the preponderance at the level of state ideology. In the original history, that is, in the late Northern Song Dynasty, in the hands of Zhao Ji, Taoism changed again, and began to change after the most popular local Shinto, and gradually formed a pattern familiar to later generations.
However, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, although reviving the Han family. The Tang and Song dynasties, which had to be restored in all aspects of social customs. But in the end, there was a hundred years of division of Mongolia, after the Ming Dynasty. Taoism has been stripped from the ideological level of the state.
What followed was just a lingering process, with no ideological effect. It is no longer possible to pray for the blessing of the country.
The Dao Gate has flowed into the category of occultism of personal cultivation, and has changed from a manifest study to a mystical science. In the Tang and Song dynasties, it was the most normal thing for scholars and doctors to participate in Zhaijiao, but after the Ming and Qing dynasties, they were going to commit the taboo of the imperial court.
When it comes to the era that the Heavenly Master of Wenda has crossed over, it can be said that it is endless. It's hard to even see hope for revival.
However, there are not many in this time and space, and Taoism has always firmly occupied this advantage, and it can even be said that it is a dominant family.
Wenda Heavenly Master has even been doing the work of attracting Confucian scholars and doctors to participate in the transformation of Taoist theories, so that humane knowledge can be developed in Taoism.
As long as the Daomen occupies this advantage and has twenty or thirty years of hard work, all this will gradually take shape. status, no one can shake it anymore!
And today, it is even more important to establish an eternal foundation for this Shinto.
The two walked all the way up the mountain, and there was naturally no bustling crowd in Mount Tai at this time, and the scenery along the way was naturally excellent.
The two of them walked a few steps, but suddenly heard a tiger roar, and the valley responded. Zhao Ji, who was scared, almost had weak legs, this was not a pet raised in the Imperial Garden, but a real tiger.
The white tiger rushed out of the mountain forest, put a Ganoderma lucidum in its mouth more than ten feet away from the two of them, and flew away again.
The white tiger came fast and went faster, before Zhao Ji could react. The white tiger had already disappeared quickly.
"It's ......"
"White Tiger Zhizhi!" Wen Fei Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "This is to see us go up the mountain to seal Zen, there are too few auspicious rui!"
It seems that they have found a huge stone tablet in the Yellow River this time. As for the handwriting on the stele, no one knows it until now.
Zhao Ji's face flushed, thinking of what his ancestor Song Zhenzong had done. In order to build momentum for Fengzen Taishan, tens of thousands of auspicious rui were actually made.
And this time, they sealed Zen, but in a hurry. Not only is it not auspicious, but the frame is also a lot inferior.
Probably because it was too simple to see them seal Zen Taishan, so even Shanjun came out to have fun.
Wen Fei went up to pick up the Ganoderma lucidum, but saw that this Lingzhi was very different from the mortal world, as crystal clear, very beautiful, with a little fragrance: "Good thing, it seems that even Shanjun has invested a lot of money." It's also a good intention, the official family will accept it!"
Zhao Ji's eyes were hot for a long time, and he knew that the Great Heavenly Master of Daowen didn't need these things at all, so he unceremoniously took this Lingzhi into his arms.
At this time, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Father Shang, what is written on that stone tablet? The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, everyone in the world can't recognize the gold and stone, but it's strange!"
Wen Fei Ha laughed, I am afraid that only he can know him in this world. He smiled and said, "Don't reveal the secret of heaven! Oh, the top of the mountain has arrived." ”
Zhao Ji was stunned, the mountain road was originally difficult, and it was even more difficult for someone like him who was used to being pampered. However, walking with Wen Fei all the way, walking and talking, unknowingly, he had reached the top of the mountain.
Everything on the top of the mountain has already been prepared, and when you enter the view, you can see the circle platform on the top of the mountain, which is five zhang in diameter and nine feet high, and is decorated with cyan around it, surrounded by a green rope for three weeks, etc. The altar is in its southeast, two feet high, one zhang square. The scale and system are exactly the same as those of Tokyo City.
On the platform, there is a song, a bell and a chime, and there are 20 altars and palaces, and the four corners stand up and build drums and two dances.
However, the etiquette should not be simplified too much, and the five-colored soil representing the Five Emperors has been removed and not used. The rules are also different from the ancient rites.
This is all done by the Heavenly Master of Wenda, even the Confucian scholars of various families, and there is no protest.
After all, the system and etiquette of Feng Chan Taishan that have been handed down now are also designated by the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty.
In the past, when Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries and wanted to seal Mount Tai, the ancient etiquette had been annihilated. Only then did I find those Confucian scholars of the Lu Kingdom to discuss the etiquette of sealing Mount Tai......
As a result, the two factions of Confucian scholars quarreled dramatically, and only one went up the mountain to sit in a car and quarreled for a day...... It is also the cause of book burning......
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty consulted about the etiquette of sealing Zen, there were more than 50 Confucian opponents, and they could not make a decision.
Even these guys are clamoring endlessly, sealing the Zen Shangshu, Zhou Guan, and the hope of the royal system to shoot the bull. A group of Confucian scholars quarreled for several years about the ritual of sealing Zen, but they never failed to formulate it.
As a result, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not use all the Confucianism, and the last thing was determined by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, according to the ritual of sacrificing the Taiyi God. Almost all the rituals of the descendants of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty were changed according to the set of the Han Wu Emperor.
Today, Wenda Tianshi is the supreme spokesperson of the imperial court at the ideological level, and he is the messenger of the Emperor of Heaven. How to sacrifice, naturally let him have the final say, but others said it was useless.
Standing on the Fengzen platform, Wen Fei was silent for a moment, and then said, "Light the fire?"
Zhao Ji was a little surprised, originally thought that there was some etiquette. However, since Wen Fei said that he would light the fire, he naturally had nothing to say, and immediately lit the firewood and grass on the altar.
These firewood and grass have already been dried thoroughly, once the fire is burned, the momentum of the prairie fire suddenly rises, the fire rises fiercely, and the huge heat makes people unable to stand still, and they can't get close.
When the ministers and ministers up and down the mountain saw the fire on the mountain, they shouted long live together, and at the same time, the altar under the mountain also lit firewood at the same time.
This is the most important thing in the meditation. Burning firewood is called "firewood to God".
Between the flames, thick smoke billowed out, and it seemed that between this ceremony, the gods of heaven and earth were communicated.
At this moment, Wen Fei suddenly walked into the fire and began to startle Zhao Ji. But then he understood, this is the most important thing to seal Mount Tai recently.
Mount Tai is extremely high, and the voices of the ministers under the mountain shouting long live can't be heard. However, at this time, there seemed to be a strange force coming from the underworld, running through the straight ......
"Boom...... Rumble......"
The waves pressed down like a hill, trying to tear the boat under the feet of the two to pieces. However, no matter how strong the waves were, when they reached the vicinity of the boat, they were all wiped out.
Bai Suzhen stood proudly on the bow of the boat, watching a huge pillar of wind rotate in the distance, sucking hundreds of millions of tons of seawater into the sky.
There were countless waves that were stirred, as if a huge stick had reached into a basin and was stirring incessantly. (To be continued......)
