The guests who came to Prince Xia's Mansion, whether they were the Zheng brothers or Amakusa Tokisada, were all related to each other.
Only the old Taoist was sitting alone, looking out of place.
But he was the most arrogant, even if Zuo Mengeng showed up, he was still angry.
"What is the name of the Taoist Master? I wonder where the Immortal Temple is? I heard that the Taoist Master has been visiting frequently in recent days, but I don't know what is so abrupt about Zuo?"
Even when facing a penniless Taoist priest, Zuo Mengeng did not put on airs.
He was even more curious, where did this seemingly ordinary Taoist priest get the courage to run wild in front of Prince Xia's palace?
This is also the reason why he did not act rashly.
Who knows how many pairs of eyes are watching from behind.
If one thing is not done well, it will lead to a big disaster.
It was finally my turn.
Ever since he entered Prince Xia's palace, he had been left alone, which made the old Taoist priest even more angry.
"Guo Changfei, a poor Taoist, is the master of Sanqing Temple in Laoshan. I am here today, and I would like to ask His Highness to clear up any doubts."
Laoshan Sanqing Temple?
Zuo Mengeng nodded, a little confused.
He knew that Mount Laoshan was a famous Taoist mountain, and it was normal for there to be Taoist priests on it.
But it is really strange to come all the way to Jinan to have trouble with myself.
But what Guo Changfei said next finally made him understand what the problem was.
"I am so disrespectful, but I dare to ask Your Highness why you insulted my Quanzhen Patriarch for no reason?"
Zuo Mengeng's head was filled with questions.
"Where did this come from?"
When did he insult the founder of Quanzhen Sect?
Religious issues cannot be ignored.
Especially with his status, if something goes wrong, there will be big trouble.
Guo Changfei's beard was flying in anger.
He also took out a book from his arms.
"According to legend, this book was written by His Highness, don't you know?"
Fu Xinyuan walked over, took the book over, and presented it to Zuo Mengeng for reading.
There are four big characters on it.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes"
Zuo Mengeng understood immediately.
broken!
He encountered the same trouble as Lao Jin.
The Dragon Knight angered the Quanzhen Sect.
The story he told did not adopt the updated content of the newly revised edition, but was based on the triple edition, so the one riding the dragon was Taoist Master Yin.
But in reality, Taoist Master Yin is a great master in the history of Quanzhen Sect. It is inevitable that the Taoist priests of Quanzhen Sect will be angry when he arranges it like this in the book.
However, this matter was a huge problem for Lao Jin, but it was nothing to him.
Now that the Quanzhen Sect is in decline, do you still dare to go against him?
"Haha, that's it. It's just a romance. The story is fictitious and cannot be taken as true."
His understatement did not satisfy Guo Changfei.
"Your Highness speaks so eloquently and so well, so how can the world distinguish between truth and falsehood? Just because of His Highness's words, my Sanqing Temple will no longer have peace. They say that Your Highness has blessed the common people, so why are you so vicious to me?"
It turns out that in order to bring Huang Zongxi and Wang Xiuqin together, Zuo Mengeng took out "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and quoted the story of Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu, and it was immediately successful.
It is true that Huang Zongxi and Wang Xiuqin got married, and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" became popular.
Chen Hongshou, who was in charge of culture, was so happy to see the story that he asked his subordinates to print it into a book and sell it everywhere without asking for instructions.
Romance novels about monsters in the late Ming Dynasty were already very popular, but how could they compare with mature entertainment and cultural products hundreds of years later?
As soon as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was released, it immediately swept across the world and became widely popular.
While there was heated discussion among the people, it also caused trouble for the Quanzhen Sect.
Guo Changfei was practicing Taoism on Laoshan Mountain honestly, but suddenly, there was a flood of pilgrims coming to visit.
The old man was very happy at first.
Although Taoist priests are not like monks, they are very noble. They are dedicated to cultivating Taoism, and based on the principle of being none of my business, they only seek fate for the contributions of pilgrims.
But with so many fates, it’s hard to find.
But who would have expected that after the pilgrims entered, not only did they not give alms, but they cursed at the Taoist priests and the statues of the ancestors. Some even went too far and threw stones into the Taoist temple.
Guo Changfei was really frightened and quickly sent his disciples to find out what happened.
After watching "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Quan Zhen was really furious and filled with righteous indignation.
Even if Zuo Menggeng controls the world and has overwhelming power, he can't stand it anymore.
Originally, the Taoist priests in the Sanqing audience planned to come together to find an explanation, but Guo Changfei was afraid that Zuo Menggeng would kill him in anger, so he quickly stopped everyone.
Not only that, he also asked other Taoist priests to pack their bags and leave the Xia Kingdom to prevent the incense from being cut off.
After doing this, he went to the door alone and went to the meeting alone.
Everyone here heard the whole story and couldn't help but laugh or cry. They never thought that a book of "The Romance" would actually cause trouble.
In the final analysis, the fault was his own, and Zuo Mengeng was a little embarrassed.
"This is indeed my fault. It has caused trouble to your sect. When I turned around, I asked them to collect the books and destroy them."
Given his status, it is extremely rare for him to make such a deal.
But who would have thought that Guo Changfei would still be dissatisfied.
"Please also ask Your Highness to make your decree known to the public and return my Quan Zhen name to me."
Zuo Mengeng calmed down instantly, feeling like a mirror.
This old Taoist priest's incitement to investigate and punish was just a pretense, but actually he had a big purpose behind it.
Perhaps he had been waiting for such an opportunity for too long, so once it appeared, he couldn't wait.
As a result, Zuo Mengeng, who faced him, was smart and wise, and he noticed it immediately.
Zuo Mengeng kept silent and calculated silently, but felt that this was an opportunity.
He looked at Guo Changfei again, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was covered in mist.
"One Qi transforms the three pure states, and one stream transforms the three sects. The three sects are originally one, so why not stop disturbing them?"
Guo Changfei's body shook violently and he looked at Zuo Mengeng in disbelief.
"It's hard to know whether it's true or not. It's a complete failure. I feel ashamed and embarrassed."
"Do you know where the defeat lies?"
Guo Changfei just shook his head silently, his face pale.
Zuo Mengeng's words were like thunder and rain.
"The Patriarch can go and get it, why can't you go and get it? How can you see the Tathagata until you reach Lingshan Mountain? Once you reach Lingshan Mountain, Buddha is the Tao."
Guo Changfei thumped and fell to the ground, causing everyone to look shocked and confused. They didn't know what kind of attack the two of them would do next.
"The sky is high and the road is far, there are many dangers, life and death are unpredictable, blessings and disasters are unknown!"
His series of exclamations only received a cold snort from Zuo Mengeng.
"Go back, your teachings have gone too far. If there is no one in the Quanzhen Sect, it is not to blame for bad luck."
Guo Changfei no longer had the momentum he had before, and his dejected look was particularly pitiful.
Everyone just watched his rickety back move step by step, and finally disappeared from sight.
But everyone was confused as to what happened.
Seeing Xu Ruolin looking over at her inquiringly, Zuo Mengeng was less interested and just said something.
"Hua Hu Jing."
Xu Ruolin said "ah" and suddenly realized.
The Quanzhen Sect was founded by its founder, Wang Chongyang, and then flourished under the hands of Qiu Chuji. It was praised by Genghis Khan for preaching thousands of miles away.
But later, the Mongol and Yuan rulers were very afraid of the Quanzhen Religion because they had a big debate.
In that debate, the Quanzhen Sect was ill-prepared and its arguments were full of flaws. Coupled with the deliberate partiality of the Mongolian and Yuan rulers, they suffered a complete defeat.
Since then, the Quanzhen Sect has been in decline and has never been as prosperous as it once was.
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhengyi sect was even more respected, and the lineage of Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi was in charge of the system, and the Quanzhen sect was completely marginalized.
The Quanzhen Sect has been silent for hundreds of years, and has been trying to find a way to make a comeback.
The current chaos in the world allowed them to vaguely see an opportunity.
Although Zuo Menggen's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" includes the Quanzhen Patriarch Hall, it is still a God-given opportunity for the Quanzhen Sect.
As long as we can get what we want from Zuo Mengeng, the Quanzhen Sect will soar into the sky immediately.
It's a pity that they have ambition but no courage.
At least Zuo Mengeng couldn't see it from Guo Changfei.
This is not the Quanzhen Religion that he likes, nor is it the Quanzhen Religion that China needs.
The opportunity, he gave it.
It depends on whether these Taoist priests can catch it.
