The first thousand one hundred and thirty chapters of Taoism
In Your Highness’s opinion, does this distinction exist or not?”
Everyone in the hall listened solemnly and put away their contempt. Sansheng continued: "If there is rain in Your Highness's heart, it is rain; if there is no rain in Your Highness's heart, it is naturally just sweet wine. Is there any?
The only difference is that others may only watch and listen to the rain, but Your Highness can become a rainmaker."
"Good!" Emperor Wanlong clapped his hands and praised, "What a great way to teach the way of existence and non-existence. I listened to it heartily and joyfully. I haven't been in such a happy mood for a long time. The Taoist Master is indeed a master of Taoism.
It’s true that the elders are inferior to the young, it’s true.” Emperor Wanlong said with a hearty laugh.
Li Xuanci was an excellent eloquent, so Li Xuanci and several others came up with this idea at the same time. Li Xuanci was not good at eloquence. If he wanted to argue with Sansheng Taoist for a few words, he would definitely not be his opponent. Li Xuanmin was already impressed, and with the appearance of Emperor Wanlong,
All the thoughts in his mind were put out. At this moment, Emperor Wanlong was extremely interested. If he didn't know what was going on at this time, he would be making a big mistake out of a small thing.
"The Taoist master is proficient in Taoism and has excellent eloquence. I admire him." Li Xuanci praised him, then looked at Emperor Wanlong and said respectfully, "I just don't know why my father called us here today. It is to listen to the three lives."
Is the Taoist priest’s Taoist law the essence of it?”
"Haha, Master Sansheng, come and tell these incompetent princes of mine." Emperor Wanlong said with a smile.
San Shengping smiled and said: "Your Majesty is joking. Your Highnesses are all great among men. How can there be any incompetent ones? If so, then it is because the Emperor's expectations are too high. He is the most saintly and virtuous. Only in this way can he get the holy saying that he is incompetent."
comments."
This sentence was quite a golden statement that was against the emperor, but Emperor Wanlong did not show any anger at all, but was very happy. Li Xuanci secretly sighed and glanced at Li Luo. Li Luo did not squint, but listened quietly like this.
Li Xuanci cursed secretly, his ninth brother was really good at pretending, and at this moment, he didn't look strange at all. Could it be that he couldn't see that this stunning Taoist priest in white clothes and white eyebrows had ulterior motives?
However, although Li Xuanci had slander in his heart, the look on his face showed respect, and he did not mean to look down on Taoist Sansheng at all.
Sansheng gently looked at the four princes in the palace, opened his red lips, and asked harmoniously: "Do your highnesses know the origin of my Taoist sect?"
Li Xuanze and the other three were startled, and involuntarily turned their attention to Li Luo. Taoism was a well-known and upright sect, so they had naturally heard of it, but it was really difficult for these princes to tell their origins.
Li Luo originally lowered his eyes and said nothing, but at this time, he could no longer pretend not to see Li Xuanci's eyes. He coughed lightly and responded calmly: "Taoism is a major sect among hundreds of schools of thought. Looking at its origins, so do I.
It's just hearsay. It is said that the founder of Taoism, Ling Shenzi, was born thousands of years ago. He became famous as a young man. He had the power to create ghosts and gods. He then went south to the fairy mountain to seek the Tao. After thousands of hardships, he finally got back the Taoist book of Tongxuan and gained the blessing of the Taoism.
Then he returned north and founded a Taoist sect in Qiyun Mountain. In addition to the Taoist Heart Sutra, he also left fifty-nine miraculous skills and unique arts, which were famous all over the world. Later, it is said that the founder of Taoism became an immortal, shattered into the void, and left.
Only the various branches of Taoism are left scattered across the north and south of the Yangtze River and have been passed down to this day."
"His Majesty Ninth Highness is erudite and knowledgeable, and I admire him all my life. I, the founder of Taoism, Senior Ling Shenzi, founded Taoism a thousand years ago. Today, it is unique among hundreds of schools of thought. In hundreds of years, no sect can shake the status of Taoism. But
It is said that it laid the foundation for Taoism to be passed down from generation to generation. However, although the predecessors of Lingshenzi left fifty-nine miraculous skills and unique skills, most of them have been lost now, and less than three or four of them have survived. The reason for this is the dispute between Taoist schools."
San Sheng paused for a moment, with a far-away look on his face, and then sighed and continued, "Of course nothing will happen to Senior Ling Shen Zi when he was alive, but after Senior Ling Shen Zi emerged, he had many disciples, each with his or her own merits in Taoism, Dharma, and Art.
What they have learned is the Taoism that confirms the Taoism, and no one can convince anyone. As time goes by, people who were originally fellow sects have become enemies. Some people have left Qiyun Mountain and gone to other places to branch out. Those who stayed in Qiyun Mountain regard themselves as the authentic Taoist sect.
, could not allow others to stay in Qiyun Mountain, maybe a hundred years later, maybe two hundred years later, Qiyun Mountain was originally a civil strife between the Taoists of the same sect, and they could not distinguish the Dharma. Over time, it turned into a fight, and the hatred was forged from that time.
.In the end, the brothers became enemies of life and death, either with the hatred of killing their wives and husbands, or with the hatred of destroying their masters. The battle got out of hand, and the huge Taoist school fell apart in an instant. Less than 30% of the people who survived were lucky enough to fight internally.
Afterwards, the vitality of Taoism was severely weakened, and the remaining people realized it, but it was too late. At this time, the enemies outside Qiyun Mountain were watching. In order to protect the foundation of Taoism, the Taoist ancestors had no choice but to abandon the Qiyun Mountain Taoist sect.
It is so sad to live and recuperate everywhere! This civil strife not only lost Taoist disciples, but also cut off the inheritance of many Taoist secrets. In addition to the Taoist ancestors who survived this civil strife, there are also some far-sighted Taoists.
People left this place of right and wrong early, and this allowed the Taoist inheritance to continue reluctantly. It has been six or seven hundred years since Qi Yunshan returned to the Taoist dojo. If Senior Ling Shenzi knew that the Taoist school he had devoted his whole life to had ended up in this situation,
I'm afraid I can't rest in peace even under the Nine Springs. To this day, the fifty-nine Taoist arts have only empty names and no reality. They are just a number that people say."
Li Xuanze said in astonishment: "How could this happen?"
"There are many disputes in the world, and even Taoism's quiet inaction is no exception. It's ridiculous to work hard to cultivate Taoism, only focusing on Taoism but not Taoism. This is the consequences of Taoism's ancestors, and they can't avoid others. After Taoism fell apart, many Taoist traditions were destroyed
They were destroyed by the coveting enemies and disappeared in the long river of historical records. Knowing that it is difficult to survive on one's own, they can only give up these unknown persistences and gradually get closer together. In the following hundreds of years, Taoism gradually formed the three sects of heaven, earth and man.
After several dynasties and generations of rest and recuperation, they gradually made some improvements. Only then did the Taoist sect return to the forefront of all schools of thought and regain the dojo left by the predecessor of Qiyun Mountain Lingshenzi. However, the three sects of Taoism are not as harmonious as ever.
, the three sects of heaven, earth, and people are constantly fighting. Each sect wants to monopolize the Qiyun Mountain Taoist temple. The conflict between them may be even greater than the disputes between rivers and lakes. The Taoist predecessors feel that if things go on like this, Taoism will one day return to its former days of wandering and living in an ignoble way.
situation, so the Taoist predecessors set the rules.
