Ma Yuanyi had a kind face, and his smile had a unique appeal and a fatherly sense of trust, just like the priest Zhu San saw in the church in his previous life.
Regarding Yu Ji's questioning, Ma Yuanyi did not deny it, but answered as a disciple.
"Qing Lian Bai Ou Ben's family, both his uncle and master came from the sect of Nan Hua Patriarch. Although the Patriarch has passed away, his Taoism should be carried forward by our descendants. There is no distinction between north and south. What we want is not to spread the Taiping Sutra to the world, but also to bring light to the world.
Promote Taoism and compete with Confucianism."
"You are sharp-tongued and your words are correct. I won't argue with you. If Zhang Jiao asked you to come to the south, it would not be as simple as coming to compete with me for believers." Yu Ji put away his anger in an instant and said,
The deputy elder changed his expression and asked calmly.
"Uncle Mingjian, my teacher sent me south. I once said that if I meet my uncle, I should ask him to go north to Jizhou in person." Ma Yuanyi respectfully stated his purpose.
"Going north? Are you planning to conspire for the so-called peaceful age? It's ridiculous! Back then, his teacher taught him that "The Essential Art of Taiping" was a medical technique of hanging a pot to help the world. In the name of religion, he guided people to do good while using acupuncture to save people.
"
"But him! Look at what you have done over the years. Even you, Ma Yuanyi, only knew how to use talismans to bully others just now. Where is your needle bag?"
"I am not like him. I have been studying the art of medicinal herbs and elixirs since I received the "Taiping Qingling Dao". My incantations to pray for blessings also tell others that you should remember to accumulate virtue and do good deeds throughout your life, and you will have blessings, and blessings will come to you."
, all diseases will disappear naturally.”
"He actually misinterpreted the word "Taiping" to mean changing the situation. Don't you know that if you do this, how many people will be killed for no reason?"
"Teacher, the true meaning of Taoism is that everyone should be kind and equipped with medical skills to save people, so that the world will be prosperous and peaceful, rather than the prosperous age of Confucianism. Such a clear Taoist and dark Confucianism is just a scum of the teacher. He dared to ask me to go to Jizhou. It is especially shameless.
, I am ashamed to be in his company."
Yu Ji spoke angrily. Although his words were sharp, they were not loud. He obviously didn't want outsiders to hear them. Unfortunately, the two of them didn't notice the child beside Zhu San and listened to them all. Zhu San felt that he had misunderstood Yu Ji's angry words.
, they don’t refine any metal mercury pills, they are authentic herbal pills, which can really cure diseases.
Taiping Road, the secret of the Yellow Turban was even more surprising. Zhu San remembered that historical records said that Zhang Jiao was once promoted as a scholar. He was a Confucian scholar who broke Confucianism and became Taoist. No wonder his Confucianism has not changed. It seems that
He wanted to unite Confucianism and Taoism and establish a theocratic kingdom, just like Western Christianity, where the Pope was supreme and his great sage teacher was also Huang Tian's agent.
Yu Ji's angry scolding, Ma Yuanyi did not retaliate for his teacher. The city is deep enough to see it. You argued and said: "It's time to change the day. The teacher has his own reasons. Since the end of Qin Dynasty and after Han Dynasty,
After four hundred years of extinction of hundreds of schools of thought, only Confucianism was left standing in the court, becoming more and more prosperous, and Confucius became the master of all saints. In the past hundred years, Confucianism began to gradually penetrate into all schools, and it has threatened
Taoism itself.”
"I don't see my uncle. The first family in the world with the surname Yuan founded his family on metaphysics. The Beihai Zheng Xuan was famous for his metaphysics. He was a great Confucian and a Confucian family. He continued to annotate Taoist metaphysics. At that time, Taoist classics became Confucian classics one after another.
Classics, how does Taoism establish itself? Is it the art of alchemy or the art of talisman water?"
"The founder is a senior of the Taoist sect. He will definitely not watch the Taoist sect become a magician and magician who only deceives the world and deceives the people. He will understand the teacher's actions and understand the teacher's difficulties. Everything is for the Taoist sect and for the sake of the sage Lao Tzu.
Glory." As Ma Yuanyi spoke, he became excited for a moment and couldn't control his emotions. Sure enough, doctrinal disputes are the most likely to make believers angry, and Ma Yuanyi, who has always maintained self-restraint and grace, is no exception.
"What Patriarch Li Er pursues is the way of inaction, not the struggle of action. You have already deviated from the teachings of Patriarch Li Er." Yu Ji still insisted on his opinion.
"Uncle insists, and disciples don't dare to force it. Yuanyi has already brought the teacher's words. It's up to the uncle to decide whether to go to Jizhou or not." Ma Yuanyi took a deep breath, forcibly adjusted his emotions, and his face suddenly turned from red.
For Chang Se, he resumed his respectful tone and spoke.
"Well!" Yu Ji also calmed down his mood and stopped arguing, "It seems that my nephew has obtained your master's true biography, and he can argue with me on the spot. Well, well, it is fate that we meet today. If you have academic knowledge,
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.”….
After all, they are from the same sect. Even if they have different understandings of doctrines, Yu Ji is naturally happy to see his younger generation succeed in their studies. "Thank you so much, uncle." Upon hearing this, Ma Yuanyi thanked him with great joy.
What Zhu San heard next was just some Taoist classics such as "The Taiping Jing", "Geng Sangzi", "Guan Lingzi", etc. Zhu San was stunned for a while, mostly talking about "Tao follows nature" and turning nothing into something.
Because, human nature itself imitates the nature of heaven.
This was the first time that Zhu San listened to a Taoist classic. Gradually, as the two people deepened their dialectics, they gained a new understanding of Taoist doctrine. For example, the two of them each explained a passage in "Laozi Asks Rituals".
"The heaven and the earth move on their own without being pushed, the sun and the moon shine by themselves without being burned, the stars sequence themselves without being arranged, the animals and beasts arise by themselves without being made by man, this is what nature does, so why bother with man?"
In addition to Yu Ji's understanding that all things have their own natural rules, Ma Yuanyi's interpretation is that no one knows the meaning of life in the world, so why bother to suffer in order to deliberately achieve the goal?
It is advocated that when the objective is not to obtain benefits subjectively, but to think objectively, benefits may be better realized.
Everything in the world is yin and yang, and inaction and action are interdependent, so gaining is losing, and losing is gaining. If you can understand the way to live in the world in this section, this state is called Xiaoyao by Ma Yuanyi.
Of course, in this realm, Ma Yuanyi also frankly expressed to Yu Ji that his own practice was not enough.
After this dialectic, the two of them suddenly became a close uncle and nephew. They looked at each other and smiled. The communication between colleagues was the happiest thing for these scholars.
The two of them were happy, but Zhu San was not happy, because while they were laughing, they spotted Zhu San who was two feet away. They glanced sideways, and there was a look of surprise in their eyes. Why did someone come so quietly?
When you get to them, wouldn't you be able to hear everything they just talked about?
When Zhu San saw the two men's eyes looking at him, he panicked. It's over, he's been discovered. What should he do? He turned around and ran away. This was the first thought in his mind.
No, these are powerful martial artists and there are so many of them. I am no match for him. I will definitely be overtaken immediately and fall into the hands of these religious believers. Then my life or death will be uncertain.
These thoughts passed by in an instant. Suddenly, an idea occurred to them. Before Yu Ji and Ma Yuanyi could react, they pulled their mouths and eyes with their hands, stuck out their tongues and shook them.
"He~he~he!"
A naughty grimace, an innocent and romantic look, all the hints of maturity in the past were gone. He looked cute towards the two of them, but seemed to be frightened by their fierce looks. He was so frightened that he turned around and kicked away.
He opened his car and headed towards the village, as if he was looking for his parents' protection.
This move was just a moment before Zhu San remembered that when he was watching the Dragon Balls in the past, Satan was afraid of being defeated by Trunks, so he deliberately played tricks and gave up like a child, so he got through.
Of course, this was only possible because he was still an eight-year-old child.
Sure enough, when Yu Ji and Ma Yuanyi saw Zhu San make a face, and then ran back to the village in a panic, a thought naturally flashed in their minds: Did they look very fierce just now and scared the children? They had to run back.
I went home to find my parents.
"Young children have a childish heart. Children come here unintentionally, so I didn't notice it. It can be seen that my lifelong practice is not as good as that of a boy. It seems that the road to freedom is still far away!" Yu Ji laughed loudly, returned with a peach wood staff, and ordered his disciples.
They worked together to speed up the end of the sermon ceremony, and then led the disciples southward overnight.
"Innocent heart? This young man is quite good. After the sermon is over, ask someone to ask whose child he is. Maybe he can be accepted as a disciple and be the successor of the mantle." Ma Yuanyi looked at the direction in which Zhu San disappeared, with a look on his face.
smile.
Unfortunately, after nightfall, his disciples went from house to house asking questions. When they came back to report, they said: "God's envoy, several of my subordinates have asked all over the village and they all said that there is no such young man as you have seen."
"What, there is no such boy? How is this possible? But he ran out to play, and when I saw him today he just ran over to me." Ma Yuanyi asked speculatively.
"No, the villagers all said that there is no such young man in the village. No one has ever seen him. There is no such person at all."
"That's it!" Ma Yuanyi thought in confusion: "That should be a young refugee passing through here."
"No, no, that young man has a rosy complexion and is full of vitality. Although his clothes are not upper-class Sichuan brocade, they are also made of good silk. He is definitely not a refugee. He should come from a wealthy family." Ma Yuanyi thought about it, and finally just said
We can come to the conclusion that this young man should have moved with his parents and passed by this place. It seems that I have no connection with him. It's a pity, it's a pity...
Not to mention Ma Yuanyi's long sigh, Zhu Sanyi ran back to the village, panting and slapping his chest. It was really dangerous just now. He looked back and saw that no one was chasing him. Without thinking, he walked around to the other side of the village.
After going out and taking a long detour, we returned to the original official road and started on our way again.
After avoiding the two groups, Zhu San sorted out the secrets he heard today. It was not surprising that Zhang Jiao and Yu Ji were brothers. The old Nanhua immortal was actually the direct descendant of Taoist Li Er, who wrote the "Taiping Jing"
" is divided into two volumes. It preaches good deeds and combines acupuncture and herbal pills. It really has the meaning of curing diseases and saving people.
These Taoist disciples engage in religious superstition in order to promote Taoist doctrine and persuade people to do good. They are not the evil cults that Zhu San saw in his previous life.
Zhang Jiao switched from Confucianism to Taoism and wanted to rebel and establish the Kingdom of God in order to promote the Laojun School. If he really worked hard for the sect without any selfish motives, he would actually dedicate everything to Taoism. His starting point is right. He can only stand on the right side of the world
Only at the top can a school of thought be truly developed, and Confucianism is the best example.
This is exactly what happened in history. After the fall of Taiping Dao, Taoism was completely reduced to a religion. In the Western Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, they finally understood that they had to take the path of power in order to regain the school. They successively tried to seduce the emperor and powerful ministers in the name of immortality, such as Emperor Ai of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Jian Jian.
Emperor Wen, Emperor Mingyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Taiwu, etc., were able to prosper for a while with the support of the state.
It's a pity that the Hu religion came to the west, and the two quarreled, which ultimately benefited the Confucians. But now Zhang Jiao may have selfish motives, and is controlled by power as Yu Ji said. He preaches and spreads the law, only to confuse the world.
, instead of rescuing people, this is the reason why Yu Ji is unwilling to go north to Jizhou.
Although Zhu San had never seen Zhang Jue, the handsome appearance, conversation, and deep eyes of Ma Yuanyi in front of him left a deep impression on him. This impression was not as good as that of Sun Jian, who he had seen before. During the conversation,
He always shows a kind of wisdom, and he should be a good adviser. From the defense with Yu Ji, what he does feels more like running for Taoism.
It's a pity that he died tragically and very early in history.
Otherwise, Zhang Jiao might not be able to succeed if he assists him in planning, with Jizhou as his base and Qingzhou and Yanzhou as his minions.
Zhu San suddenly speculated that the master and apprentice might have had a conflict of ideas later on, and instigated Tang Zhou to inform and have Ma Yuanyi killed, killing Tang Zhou to appease public anger and arouse hatred towards the imperial court.
Otherwise, how could Tang Zhou, an unknown disciple of Zhang Jiao, dare to report Ma Yuanyi? As a relatively core member, he should be very aware of the power contained in Taiping Dao. It would be impossible for the Han Dynasty to withstand the endless assassinations.
Only with Zhang Jiao's prior assurance could Tang Zhou dare to commit such a dangerous act as committing suicide.
Conjecture is just conjecture after all, and Zhu San can only wait until the next day to slowly verify it.
