No blessing or misfortune

Qiu Zhiqing sympathized with Zhang Tianshi's concerns. When he was still the head teacher, he was restrained in everything he did, for fear that a careless move would cause irreparable losses to the Taoist sect.

But it's better now. He now agrees with Master Cuixuzi's point of view. I don't like preaching, but I like to enjoy the fruits of preaching!

Of course, he didn't agree very much, because now he was starting to worry about inheritance. He remembered that Uncle Cuixuzi told him the story of his ancestor Ziyang Zhenren.

It is said that Master Ziyang, the ancestor of Master Cuixuzi, had just attained Taoism. He was arrested and exiled by local officials because he was preaching in Guanzhong and what he preached was inhumane.

Fortunately, on the way, I met Cuixunzi's uncle and his ancestor, Cuixuanzi Shitai, who taught him everything he had learned.

And his master, Cuixuanzi, traveled half a century and most of the Song Dynasty in order to pass on the inheritance, and finally met a favorite disciple in Qingzhen, Meixian County, Guanzhong.

But he was already a monk. After some arrangements by Cui Xuanzi, he finally admitted this disciple to the Taoist books. This monk was the master of Uncle Cui Xuanzi, Zixian Zhenren!

As for Master Cuixuzi, he was in his seventies or eighties before he found his successor...

It’s really scary to think about it carefully. He was not worried about inheritance at the beginning, but now he is facing the embarrassing situation of having no descendants of the Northern Sect. He can’t wait for the Chongyang Patriarch to come to the world, right?

Then there are still a hundred years left? Looking for a hundred years, what kind of apprentice are you looking for, but you can’t find it? But it’s not impossible to not find it...

After putting away the box, Qiu Zhiqing was about to say goodbye and leave. At this time, Zhang Tianshi quickly stopped him and said, "Brother Taoist, can you give the elixir a name first?"

After saying that, he scratched his nose awkwardly!

Qiu Zhiqing was speechless, but thinking that he really had something to ask for, he nodded in agreement.

"It's all right, but Brother Dao, please answer two questions from Pindao. How about that?"

"Brother Taoist, please make it clear that I, a poor Taoist, will tell you everything I know and will tell you everything!"

Qiu Zhiqing smiled slightly, and his whole body was filled with heaven and earth, uplifting the original state of "harmony between man and nature" and instantly enveloped the area where they were. Zhang Tianshi's expression changed, and then he relaxed.

"First question, I heard that Brother Dao asked Hong Xin to uncover the Demon Subduing Hall?"

"Brother Taoist, be careful. What do you mean, Pindao asked him to expose it? He obviously did it himself!"

Seeing the expression on Qiu Zhiqing's face that looked like he was lying, Zhang Tianshi didn't know whether he should say anything or not.

In fact, this is what Qiu Zhiqing saw in the Tianshi notes that Zhang Tianshi showed him. Combined with some of his own guesses, these star destiny, no, to be precise, they should be called Xingsha.

They should have been suppressed one by one before and after the Eastern Jin Dynasty. According to the speculation of one of the heavenly masters, this should be caused by the Xingjun's loss of power and the Xingsha riot.

This is a very bold guess. Under what circumstances will one hundred and eight Star Lords lose their positions one after another within a hundred years, leading to a Star Evil riot? Do you dare to think about it? Don’t dare to think about it...

Seeing that Qiu Zhiqing didn't buy it, Zhang Tianshi had no choice but to tell the truth. It turned out that after hundreds of years of suppression, the evil spirit in Xingsha had been almost eliminated.

About half a century ago, they speculated that about two decades later, the Song Dynasty would be overthrown, and the person who would inherit the destiny of the star would be a natural-born warrior.

So I thought that when these stars are born, one Jiazi is the best time to be gradually tainted by the aura of the mortal world and eliminate the evil spirits. When they re-enter the world, they will definitely be able to extend the life of the Song Dynasty!

Having said that, they didn't want to take on this responsibility. Just as Taiwei Hong, a big enemy, came to their door, Zhang Tianshi first used his image as a shepherd boy to observe Taiwei Hong.

Zhang Tianshi knew his character as soon as he saw his face. Everyone knew what happened next. Lieutenant Hong was clearly arranged by Zhang Tianshi, and in the end he took the blame and tied him to death!

He restored the Demon-Conquering Hall to its original state so that no one would know that it was him. In fact, not only did people know about it, but they also lamented that he was also a very particular person and did not forget to restore the hall to its original state before leaving.

As for why Zhang Tianshi didn't do it himself, there is a saying called causal transfer, which is probably how it works. Although Taoism does not talk about cause and effect and reincarnation.

But Taoism also pays attention to "bearing" and "this life"!

"Bearing" means that the predecessors and the descendants bear each other, that is, "the predecessors plant trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade; the predecessors cause trouble, and the descendants suffer; the predecessors do good, and today's people are blessed; today's people do evil, and the descendants suffer."

Buddhism's theory of cause and effect is the fruit of life after life, while Taoism only talks about "this life" and does not ask about the past life or the afterlife!

Therefore, what they believe in is "Tao". The so-called heavenly way has rewards and majesty, and retribution follows like a shadow. This is what it means. "Tai Shang Ying Pian" says: "There is no way for misfortunes and blessings, only people call it upon themselves. The rewards for good and evil are,

Follow me like a shadow!"

This is the reason why Zhang Tianshi wanted to save the Song Dynasty, but he would not end it himself. Instead, he pretended to rely on the hands of Taiwei Hong to release Xingming, pretending to be the hand of Xingming, to help Song Dynasty.

For example, when Qiu Zhiqing personally ended up doing something like that, let alone the effect, the means alone were a bit inferior!

But this is also a helpless matter. After all, the capital is limited. If you want to achieve your goal at that time, you can only play like this. Later, Quanzhen's power has grown, and you can slowly make arrangements...

One of the more typical examples is that at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Buddhism gave its full support to the Li family, but Taoism only accepted a silly son of the Li family as an apprentice, and by the way suggested that the Li family find a reliable ancestor!

With these two moves, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Louguan Taoism grew rapidly and Taoism became the state religion!

Unfortunately, facts have proven that without the mass base at the bottom, no matter how brilliant the superstructure is, it is just a castle in the air. Therefore, Louguan Taoism declined rapidly after the Five Dynasties, and Quanzhen Taoism came into being and took the grassroots route.

When Qiu Zhiqing abdicated and Yin Zhiping succeeded, the situation changed again. The Song Dynasty regained the Central Plains, so they began to walk on two legs, grasping the upper and lower layers together, and focusing on the lower layers.

However, Qiu Zhiqing was a little confused about Zhang Tianshi's approach, so he just asked if he didn't understand. This was his good quality!

"It is indeed the inheritance of the Heavenly Master, but it is different. You dare to predict the destiny of the country? It really makes me and others in the countryside envious!"

Zhang Tianshi was ashamed, how could he dare to calculate the fate of the country? It was the calculation made by the previous generation of old Tianshi before he emerged. It was said that he saw the people of the stars fighting for the Great Song Dynasty, fighting for the Great Song Dynasty, and this was the reason for his subsequent operations.

The corner of Qiu Zhiqing's mouth twitched, this... a bloody fight was a bloody fight, but he had fought with Da Song in a bloody fight before, right?

So sometimes fortune telling is so fucked up, how do you know if you can see destiny, is it itself a part of destiny?

But he doesn’t understand these things. He is not proficient in fortune telling, and most of their fortune tellers can only calculate things related to themselves. For example, Zhang Tianshi can’t calculate it now!

"Okay, the second thing is, help me figure out where my descendants are."

"What?" Zhang Tianshi thought he heard wrongly and asked involuntarily.

"Pindao's second request is to help Pindao do the math. Where are Pindao's disciples?"

Zhang Tianshi understood now and was quite speechless. If he could predict this kind of thing accurately, why would he have fun with it?

"Brother Taoist, stop joking, let's change it. If this kind of thing can be calculated accurately, those guys from the 'shu' sect still need to find disciples everywhere? How can it be estimated? It's not unclear, fellow Taoist, let's change it.

, if you really want me to count, I can only tell you to go north!"

Qiu Zhiqing rolled his eyes, "Southeast, East, West, North, I can make up a hexagram myself, and it's more accurate than yours, so you still have to do the math?"

He knew that this was the reason why Zhang Tianshi's calculations were difficult due to his improved nature. If he hadn't had the intention to come to Longhu Mountain, he probably wouldn't have been able to calculate his whereabouts.

In this case, Qiu Zhiqing didn't say much. He planned to leave Longhu Mountain first and go to Tongbai Palace on the rooftop. He heard from Uncle Cuixuzi that his ancestor preached at Tongbai Palace in his later years.

Now that we have arrived at Jiangnan West Road, it makes no sense not to go to Tongbai Palace to pay a visit to our seniors. After looking at the northern sky, Qiu Zhiqing smiled, turned around and headed east!

This is a difficult journey, and the scenery along the way is not inferior to the southwest mountains they traveled through before.

On this day, when Qiu Zhiqing walked out of the top of the mountain, suddenly black clouds whistled over, and the mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist. It was likely to rain. Although he was not afraid of clouds and rain, it was always inconvenient to walk in the rain.

My eyes are already blind, why do I have to make it more difficult for myself?

So he randomly found a rock to take shelter from the rain. Listening to the patter of rain and the occasional thunder in the sky, Qiu Zhiqing had a bold idea...

At this time, a group of caravans were taking shelter from the rain on another mountainside. Suddenly a young voice called out: "Second uncle, look, there is someone on the top of the mountain over there!"

His second uncle's name was Wan Changfu. He often traveled this business road. This time he brought his eldest brother's son to get familiar with this road. Just after noon, the experienced Wan Changfu had a premonition that something was wrong and asked everyone to go on this mountain.

Rest one night in the temple.

Leave tomorrow morning, otherwise you won't be able to reach the next camping spot on time. It's very dangerous in the mountains at night!

It was just after midnight, and the dark clouds covered the sky tightly. Although it was still early, the sky was already dark, and only the occasional electric snake would light up half of the sky.

Looking in the direction of my nephew's finger, I saw a figure walking on the ridge, apparently trying to climb to the top of the mountain.

"Is there really someone going up?"

Wan Changfu's exclamation immediately set off the atmosphere in the temple. Unlike his nephew, Wan Changfu has rich experience!

Everyone cheered and gathered around, looking at the looming figure under the light of the electric snake, one of them couldn't help but exclaimed: "Isn't this a monster trying to survive a tribulation?"

After hearing what he said, everyone started discussing in a hurry. After a while, they faintly saw that the man seemed to be glowing, well...

That's wrong, it should be reflection. During everyone's heated discussion, the sky suddenly lit up, and then a thunderbolt resounded through the mountains. Everyone in the mountain temple retreated one after another, with a look of fear on their faces...
