Chapter 364: Chuan Guoyu Seal (Thanks to the Xiaohe Alliance Leader of Time)
A large number of people went to Mount Tai, but strictly speaking, only Wei Yuan was a human being.
The First Emperor's self-deprecation was just a dream, and Wang Jian and Wang Ben were also the true spirits left on the weapons of the dead. Emperor E and Nvying became gods after death, and Wei Yuan himself, even though he had been reincarnated many times, each life was an experience.
A person who regrets and deplores separation after life and death.
We have arrived at the land of Qilu, and it will be very quick to go to Mount Tai.
The first of the five mountains.
At the foot of the mountain stands the Dongyue Temple, one of the four ancient architectural complexes in China that has been repaired and expanded by emperors of all dynasties. It is surrounded by three miles and has more than 150 ancient buildings of various types. It is completely in the palace style of the Song Dynasty. There are many tourists coming and going.
There are also Taoists cleaning and sweeping inside.
This is also the Taoist Divine Mansion.
The Lord of Taishan Prefecture, in other words, is mixed with the belief that the Lord of Taishan Prefecture controls life and death, as well as Dongyue.
Mount Tai is located in the east, the place where all things originate, and it governs life and death.
One of the oldest beliefs about life and death in China.
Although Buddhism came to the west and the rise of the belief in the Ten Halls of Yama was partially impacted, it has been worshiped and cared about by major emperors since ancient times, which also led to the increasing status of this god in Dongyue Mansion and Mount Tai.
Qin Shihuang walked in front, and Wei Yuan walked on one side, looking at this basically modern scenic spot. The ancient buildings are actually filled with the core of modernity. This place where the emperor once worshiped Mount Tai is also
It is already an attraction open to everyone.
The practitioners of the Dongyue Temple lineage are different from the Fulu sect and the Quanzhen sect.
They are dedicated to Emperor Dongyue Taishanfu.
A Taoist with a sharp eye caught sight of Wei Yuan and his party, especially the man walking in front, who had obviously been in a high position for a long time. He took the initiative to greet him, bowed, and said with a smile: "A few laymen are here.
Are you offering incense and praying?"
The graceful man asked with a smile: "Send incense and pray. What wish do you pray for?"
The disciple next to the old Taoist interjected: "As for incense, there are string incense, coiled incense, pagoda incense, incense pills, incense powder, incense seals, it depends on what you like as a pilgrim. If you want to pray, Emperor Dongyue's power is boundless, and he can make any wish.
It can be promised."
The graceful man was a little stunned, and then said with a helpless smile: "Pilgrim?"
He turned to look at the younger and more heroic young man next to him and said:
"Burn incense as a sacrifice and raise smoke as a sacrifice to heaven. The other gods are not eligible to enjoy it."
"This is a tradition started by King Wen of Zhou Dynasty."
"Has it become something that customers can buy now?"
He said: "After all, I'm not used to it."
The young Taoist priest scratched his head and said:
"Which Taoist temple can you go to today where you don't have to burn incense and worship the gods? Isn't this normal?"
"It's been a tradition for at least a thousand or two thousand years."
The old Taoist priest looked at the man strangely and said, "Do you want to go in and worship Emperor Dongyue?"
The First Emperor shook his head and said, "No need."
Wei Yuan and others all understand this choice.
Especially Wei Yuan, Wang Jian and Wang Ben.
Whether the emperor of the Qin Dynasty went to pay homage to the incense offering that was only born in the Eastern Han Dynasty; or whether he was the first founder of the Jade Seal to suppress divinity and pay homage to the Dongyue Tianqi Rensheng Emperor who was repeatedly consecrated by later emperors, it would be confusing.
It makes people feel sneered in their hearts.
At this moment, Wei Yuan suddenly realized that Qin was already so far away in the past.
Far far away than the ancient gods known to people today.
Nv Ying still had a sense of dissatisfaction and resentment in her heart.
This can be said when offering sacrifices to the gods. The king who wants to protect the land of China and the gods should know that in anger, he can let mortals attack the gods. If you ask him to kneel down and worship the gods of the Taoist descendants of later generations, it is simply a lie.
joke.
Then he came here for...
The First Emperor asked: "Is there any wine here?"
The old Taoist priest gave him a strange look and said, "Yes, yes..."
"Want a bottle of wine."
"……good."
The old Taoist priest hesitated for a moment, then turned around and went inside. He took out a pot of wine, which was used for sacrifices. In fact, in most places, the wine used to worship gods and ghosts is not good wine. The First Emperor personally
He took the wine and said thank you smoothly.
During this time in modern times, he had become more or less accustomed to it.
The old Taoist priest didn't know why, but he felt flattered in his heart. After a moment's hesitation, he persuaded him, "It would be better for a layman not to drink in the temple."
The First Emperor said: "It doesn't matter."
"Go to the top of Mount Tai."
His second sentence was addressed to Wei Yuan and the others next to him. The old Taoist priest was very surprised. This was still at the foot of Mount Tai. These people, except for the burly man, did not look like they could lift
He has the physical strength to drink up a mountain. What if he goes up a mountain and falls down while drinking on the top of the mountain? If they are investigated and implicated, what should he do?
Besides.
When you come to Mount Tai, what is the point of not paying homage to Emperor Dongyue, but instead carrying wine to the top of the mountain?
I haven't seen anything like this in previous years.
But in the blink of an eye, before he could ask again, the people in front of him had already walked away.
The First Emperor was walking on the mountain road, and the scenery he saw along the way was very different from that of the past. Nvying hesitated for a moment and asked curiously:
"I heard that Huangdi Xuanyuan and Emperor Zhuanxu all once granted Zen to Mount Tai. My father and husband also came here to meet with the gods to grant Zen. Finally, there was a vague rumor that there was also a king in Zhou Chao Dynasty who granted Zen, but I didn't hear about it after him.
No famous person has ever come up the mountain until you."
"How did you become Zen?"
Ying Zheng said: "Did you come here to meet the gods?"
Emperor E said: "The sacred way is Kunlun, the human way is Mount Tai, this has been the case since ancient times."
"At that time, humans and gods were not separated yet, and they firmly abided by their contract."
"So that's it..." The First Emperor nodded and said: "I don't know further, King Zhou Cheng must have never climbed to the top. Guan Yiwu once said that there were seventy-two Zen monks in Qilu, which is also untrue. At least they have never climbed to the top.
On the top of Mount Tai, when I ascend Mount Tai to pray for Zen, the mountain roads need to be reopened and repaired."
Emperor E thought for a while and said softly: "The state of Lu wanted to be granted Zen status, but was stopped by Confucius. After Duke Huan of Qi came to hegemony, he also wanted to be granted Zen status, but was stopped by Guan Zhong. In addition to worrying about being a human king and provoking the wrath of the gods,
I’m afraid you’re also worried about the rugged mountain roads and the presence of monsters, right?”
"After all, the kings who granted Zen status in the past were all mixed with myths and legends."
She glanced at the back of the First Emperor and said: "Even since you, the First Emperor, started to grant Zen, in the next two thousand years, only five emperors have done so, and basically every time it was accompanied by an edict to Emperor Dongyue of Mount Tai.
"
"Five?"
The First Emperor was slightly startled.
Wei Yuan was silent for a moment and replied: "It's not because other emperors didn't have this idea. It's just that Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty was the last one to consecrate Mount Tai and signed the Chanyuan Alliance. In fact, he can't be said to be a very bad emperor. It's just that
When it comes to things like Feng Chan, it’s a bit unworthy.”
"The others before him were kings of the Han and Tang dynasties."
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty."
"Because after Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty consecrated Mount Tai, this was originally the greatest achievement and pride ceremony of ancient Chinese kings. It's a bit..."
Wei Yuan was embarrassed to continue talking.
It's probably the level where the gold content dives directly into the ocean trench.
If you were Zhao Kuangyin, you would still be able to talk.
Zhao Kuangyin failed to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun and never came here. You signed the Chanyuan Alliance and gave money to the Liao Kingdom every year, so you came to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's evaluation of Song Zhenzong was based on the Chanyuan Alliance.
The dividing line, and the former is clearly the emperor who restored China, but there is no mention of Feng Chan at all.
Maybe I think about this sometimes when I dream about it at midnight.
But Queen Ma mentioned that the last one you had was Song Zhenzong.
With Hong Wu's character, he would probably lose interest immediately.
This is a very embarrassing and demarcating thing in history. After Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, the emperors came to Mount Tai just to offer sacrifices. No matter how great the emperor was, he never mentioned the matter of being granted Zen status. When Wei Yuan and others
When reaching the top of the mountain.
The old Taoist priest who was chasing from behind suddenly stopped. He saw bursts of clouds and mist flowing halfway up the mountain, shrouding the entire Mount Tai. Ordinary people didn't know why, and had no intention of continuing to climb the mountain. They just looked at the sudden rise of the mountain.
Sea of Clouds, pick up your phone and take pictures.
The old Taoist priest was shocked.
But on the top of the mountain, it still looks calm, or perhaps it is because the sea of clouds on the mountainside makes the scenery on the mountain more open, and crisp and melodious tunes come from the mountain, and there is a man sitting cross-legged on the bluestone.
The young man placed a seal wrapped in ink-colored and gold-patterned fabric beside his body.
The First Emperor waited until the young man's music stopped and then walked forward.
The young man turned around. He was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he looked handsome. When he saw the visitor, he was startled for a moment, and then asked: "Are you coming to Mount Tai to meet guests?" He smiled and pointed to the mountain.
Moving clouds and mist, "Ordinary people can't walk through this sea of clouds."
The First Emperor nodded and said, "Where is he?"
The young man replied: "If it's the old man's words, he wants me to tell you that he went into the mountain of the world to collect medicine. The sea of clouds was rolling, and it was hard to see him again. Half a month ago, I made a hut at the foot of the mountain to practice Taoism. The old man suddenly
Show up and give this thing to me, saying that it is yours and it is time to return it to you."
He handed over the seal.
To the gods, such words are almost equivalent to saying goodbye.
The First Emperor asked, "Did He say anything?"
The young man was startled for a moment, and then his eyes were in a trance subconsciously. When he regained his composure in an instant, the look in his eyes had become a trace of vicissitudes of tranquility that should not be seen at this age. This is a kind of spell to leave messages as a memorial to people in the past.
The remaining emotions.
The young man, or rather the God of Mount Tai half a month ago, looked ahead and said with a gentle voice and a smile:
"Ying Zheng..."
He looked at the young emperor, and after a long time, he sighed complicatedly:
"There is no longer an emperor in the world, and the agreement between you and me is over."
The First Emperor asked: "Where was my problem back then?"
"As you said." The God of Mount Tai said: "I have looked down on the human world intermittently for more than two thousand years. Among the emperors of later generations, there is no one more special than you... I use special words. They have had martial arts emperors.
There are many heroic heroes in your industry, but no matter what, they are always walking behind your back..."
"Not only in China, but in the entire East, you are the source of the title emperor."
"But in this era, there is no longer an emperor."
The God of Mount Tai sighed:
"Even if you are as talented as you, the path you have opened has been surpassed by future generations."
"I also feel more and more terrible about people."
Contrary to Ehuang Nvying's expectation, Ying Zheng was not angry. He just poured wine into the cup and replied softly: "This is natural."
"China is vast, and I have always hoped that among the heroes behind me, there will be people who can surpass me in achievements. However, the modern era and governance have proven my expectations. If it takes two thousand years, there will still be no achievements in my life.
Above me, this huge Chinese state would be lonely!"
"Now, I am very happy."
The God of Mount Tai was stunned and said: "It is indeed Ying Zheng."
Ying Zheng and Taishan God had a drink together.
The God of Mount Tai laughed loudly, his spirituality gradually dissipated, and he didn't know where to go. However, the young Taoist was still in a trance, falling into a deep sleep due to the influence of the spell just now. The First Emperor turned around and stood on the top of Mount Tai, overlooking it from a distance.
In the human world, he said: "Didn't you ask me how I became a Zen monk back then?"
Nv Ying was stunned.
The First Emperor said: "As you said, I used to come here to meet the gods, but in my time, even among the Confucian scholars in Qi, there was no exact rule for conferring Zen, so I chose my own method.
.”
Li Si was the main author of the inscription of the monument.
When the emperor climbed to the top of Mount Tai, Qin Shihuang said:
"Heaven regards highness as a respect, and earth regards thickness as virtue."
"Therefore, the height of Mount Tai is increased to repay the sky, and the height of Father Liang is attached to repay the earth..."
"The taller will be made taller, the thicker will be made thicker, and tomorrow and the earth will dictate."
Ying Zheng served the wine in honor of Heaven and Earth, with a gentle voice: "Tell Heaven and Earth that I have been here."
"This is Fengchan."
Empress E's daughter-in-law was shocked. After this emperor consecrated Zen for the first time, before Song Zhenzong, such a simple ceremony was the most watched ceremony among the emperors of the entire China. Before him, no one had consecrated Zen for hundreds of years, and after him only
Only emperors with unique talents and strategies can be granted Zen status.
However, for some reason, the emperor of China, who was serving wine to the emperor, looked the most like a lonely mortal.
At this time, several more figures broke through the cloud blockade and set foot on Mount Tai. The leader was a tall and strong man, and the others were also fierce. Ehuang Nvying immediately noticed the presence of these people.
Seemingly divine, Wei Yuan took a step forward with his sword in hand, but the First Emperor stopped him.
"Since you are a god who came to Mount Tai, is it to pay homage to the God of Mount Tai?"
After meeting the God of Mount Tai, the First Emperor seemed to have finally let go of something. He no longer had the heavy sense of oppression in ordinary life, and said: "In that case, you can come here. There is wine here that can be used for sacrifices. You can take it as you like."
.”
His relationship with the God of Mount Tai is more like a confidant.
The big man at the head just looked at Wei Yuan coldly, and through his magic power, he recognized this historian who was hated by Zhen Qiongqi. He felt happy in his heart and laughed ferociously when he heard this.
Silent air machine explosion.
next moment.
The wine bowl in the First Emperor's hand shattered instantly.
The fiery wine slid down the emperor's palm and wet his robes.
There was deathly silence all around.

The Ten Palaces of Yama Taishan King is a product of Buddhism, after Taishan Fujun, and Taishan Fujun was first born in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The era of Qin Shihuang was probably the period of the original mountain and sea myths and the regional myths of the Seven Kingdoms.
The earliest known rubbings of the Classic of Mountains and Seas date from the Warring States Period.
