When undertaking big things, it is rarely smooth sailing and unstoppable. Instead, there are many ups and downs and many ups and downs.
Therefore, as early as more than ten generations ago, some great Confucian scholars lamented that the rebellion of monks and Taoists was not successful because they had already retreated before the success was achieved.
However, Zhao Cheng knew that Taoist Huang Tian was an anomaly. In this world, most people who practice Taoism are selfish, and few are selfless. If they are not selfish, how can they become a monk?!
After all, to become a monk you have to abandon your parents and family.
You say that this is for the sake of seeking Tao and pursuing oneself, which is indeed no problem, but it still does not change the nature of selfishness, the grace of procreation and the fate of love, and is abandoned in one word.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with such a disposition. Everyone has his or her own ambitions, and there is no problem in giving up everything in pursuit of the Tao.
But using this kind of character for rebellion is very problematic.
But Taoist Huang Tian, now that Huang Tian's army was defeated one after another, did not take the opportunity to retreat. Instead, he still persisted and tried to regroup.
You must know that if he is willing to take a step back and directly abandon the mortal world at this moment, he will reach immortality in one step and directly realize the golden immortality.
And if he continues to persevere, it doesn't matter if he can achieve great success. If not, he will use the Qi of all living beings to condense his merits. If the subsequent Qi drops too sharply, his merits will also drop, and he will suffer huge backlash, and even...
It's not impossible to simply turn it into ashes.
According to the history that Zhao Cheng knows, Taoist Huang Tian died in two years, and a Taoist named Huang Qi succeeded him and became Huang Tiandao and the leader of Huang Tianjun.
But this Taoist was inferior to Taoist Huang Tian in all aspects. In just five years, he lost the fundamental foundation of Huang Tiandao. Later, at the critical moment, he exhausted his remaining energy and achieved the fruit of human immortality.
.
As for Taoist Zhao Cheng, if he had not died here, he would have had the chance to succeed Huang Tiandao later.
After Taoist Huang Tian achieved great things, he recruited more than a hundred disciples, but in recent years, most of these disciples have died.
Later, Huang Qi succeeded Huang Tiandao, not because his surname was Huang. Although Huang Tiantao's Taoist name was Huang Tian, his real name was Zhang Taiping. In the end, Huang Qi succeeded Huang Tiandao because among Huang Tiantao's disciples, Huang Qi succeeded Huang Tiandao.
Just one top-notch one, and the rest are even worse.
Huang Qi can still persist for five years. If he changes to another person, he may lose Huang Tiandao's orthodoxy in two or three years.
Undoubtedly, Taoist Huang Tian is an anomaly among the group of Taoists, a rare person who cares about the common people.
After all, if a Taoist cares about the common people, it is impossible for him to become a monk. If he really wants to save the common people, the best way is not to give people medicine to cure their diseases. How many people can one person save by treating their diseases?
If you really care about the common people, take the scientific examination and become an official. Even if you are just a county magistrate, you can benefit tens of thousands of people. If the official position is larger, it can benefit hundreds of thousands or millions of people.
This is also the reason why many noble people in the imperial court can't stand Taoists. If they really want to save the common people, why don't they become officials?!
Those who can practice Taoism are all smart people, and few are stupid.
But these Taoists don't want to serve the country with their wisdom. They only want to become immortals. That's it. They do it in the name of saving the common people. Isn't this ridiculous?!
As for Taoist Huang Tien, he took the scientific examination when he was young and wanted to serve the country. However, at that time, the imperial court was in its final years and the country was in ruins. The scientific examination was no longer about talented people who could stand out, but that they had to be rich, powerful and powerful.
, otherwise, it will be brushed off in the first pass.
When Huang Tiandao was young, he was well-known for his articles, but he failed in the exams many times. This was just because he came from a poor family, while those rich men with mediocre articles could go all the way to high school.
After doing this several times, Taoist Huang Tian was also depressed. Even in his thirties, he had accomplished nothing, and was even reduced to writing articles and drawings in a brothel to support himself.
Until, he met a sloppy Taoist and was taught the Taoist method. He practiced in the mountains for more than ten years, but he got into a difficult situation. Later, he also saw the suffering in the world, but he could not continue to practice this Tao.
Later, in a fit of rage, he directly stood up and declared that Cang Tian was dead and Huang Tian should stand, calling himself Taoist Huang Tian.
Then, a spark of fire set off a prairie fire, and it was out of control, and Taoist Huang Tian also directly bloomed thirty-six levels in just ten years, achieving the golden immortal fruit.
However, he did not do great things for the sake of cultivation, but because he had great aspirations for the common people. Even if he achieved such achievements, he was not willing to retreat bravely to save himself. Instead, he wanted to go against the will of heaven.
At this time, Zhao Cheng's true body had been transformed into a Taoist seed and integrated into the third-grade golden lotus. However, his carrier in the material world was the former Taoist.
If the state of this body and the other body is not enough, it will naturally be like the incarnation. But when the state of Zhao has been achieved, it is this body and the other body, and there is no distinction between them.
Even though the carrier of this Taoist is very fragile, it does not affect the flow of thoughts at all when thinking, and the two bodies are almost in a quantum entangled state.
The only problem is probably that he wants to plot against the Doomsday Demon Fetus, but it is difficult for him to reveal his supernatural powers beyond his own.
However, this problem is not a problem.
In this world, there are many true dragons rising out of the wilderness. Although it is difficult for him to display his magical powers, it is not difficult to have basic vision and foresee the future to a certain extent.
While thinking about various things in his mind, Zhao Cheng's Taoist body also opened his eyes.
At this moment, he was in a simple shed, swollen and hidden in the forest, low and hidden. He was sitting cross-legged, with no injuries visible on his body, but his face was very pale.
This is, the injury of the previous body was not on the body, but on the soul.
In ancient times, due to backward transportation, Jun divided the world into ninety-nine states and asked ninety-nine kings to help him govern the world. It was not that Jun did not want to centralize power, but that he was unable to do so at the time.
But now, there are only twelve states in the world. Da Cang has established twelve state pastors in the twelve states to help govern the world.
In the prosperous times, these state shepherds were nothing, and the emperor could abolish them with a single word. But now, it is the state shepherds who hold great power, and even the change of state shepherds no longer needs to go through the court.
Two months ago, their defeated Huang Tianjun fled to the Southern Wilderness. They originally thought that the Southern Wilderness was the most barren land and the soldiers and horses were not strong, so they happened to occupy a few lands here to rest and recuperate.
But unexpectedly, a powerful man named Wu Qi appeared in the southern wilderness. He defeated 50,000 Huang Tianjun with 3,000 tiger and leopard cavalry.
Of course, the Taoist's injury did not come from Wu Qi, but from his captain. In the system of the Cang Dynasty, five soldiers formed a corps, and five corps constituted one guard, five guards formed one Sima, and two
Sima is one banner, with a total of 250 people in one banner.
