"Zhang Jixian? Didn't you already ...... last year"

Seeing that the person in front of him was so young, and it turned out to be the thirtieth generation of Heavenly Master Dao Heavenly Master and the Heavenly Master of the Zhengyi Sect, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Tianshi Tao was founded by Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism, and wrote "Lao Tzu Xiang'er Note", which laid the foundation for the development of Taoism in the later period.

Subsequently, his grandson Zhang Lu reformed the order, and after Cao Cao worshiped him as the general of Zhennan, Taoism began to spread to the north.

Zhang Daoling's fourth-generation grandson, Zhang Sheng, moved the missionary area from Qingcheng Mountain to Longhu Mountain, and Taoism began to develop in southeastern China.

The Tao of the Heavenly Master was established by Zhang Daoling, Zhang Heng, Zhang Lu, and the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren.

At that time, in the Bashu area, the original Ba people believed in primitive witchcraft, and large-scale obscenity harmed the people. And these Dharma sorcerers who worship ghosts and gods gather people to collect money and do all kinds of evil.

Zhang Tianshi, together with Wang Chang, Zhao Sheng's two disciples and the Yellow Emperor's Jiuding Danjing, came to Beibi Mountain to practice. Later, there was a large-scale religious conflict with the witch group.

The story of Zhang Tianshi's sword seal and ghost soldiers in Taishang Laojun that circulated in Sichuan and Chongqing is based on this.

The witch and ghost sect that was driven away was unwilling to fail, and under the leadership of the great wizard Zhang Xiu, the teachings of the Heavenly Master Dao fell sharply and founded the Five Bucket Rice Dao.

According to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Emperor Lingji can know that Zhang Xiu is a "Bajun Witch" and "Bajun Lich" and so on.

The establishment of Zhengyi made Taoism begin to appear in the form of teaching, which was different from the previous witch religion, and worshiped Taishang Laozi as the highest reverence, laying a thousand years of Taoist history.

Later, in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Kou Qianzhi cultivated Songshan for 30 years, and in order to adapt to the historical trend, he carried out a more thorough reform of the Heavenly Master's Dao. It freed Taoism from the crude and shallow style of primitive religion.

Thus it was recognized by the Northern Wei court. Enter the temple from the people. Kou Qianzhi became a generation of grandmasters.

Since then, Taoism has been continuously enriched and developed by successive generations of Taoist masters, improving the ideological system and fasting rituals of Taoism, making Taoism an important part of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation.

In addition, during the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Southern Dynasties, Taoism underwent major changes in its organizational form, which was mainly manifested in the decline of the sacrificial wine system and the rise of the Taoist official system.

The sacrificial wine system is the old system of the early five-bucket rice road, and its basic characteristics are "establishing governance and placing posts", and the Taoist officials sacrificing wine "leading households into people". Implement the rule of the unity of government and religion.

In order to realize the subordinate relationship between the Taoist officials and the Taoist people, the Heavenly Master Dao formulated the system of three meeting days, house records and payment of life letters.

It is stipulated that on the day of the three sessions, the Taoist people must go to the teacher's office to participate in religious activities, register and check the "house record of life", listen to the Taoist official announce the ban on the department, and take the school merit examination.

Based on this, the Taoist official informed Tiancao and asked the officials of the gods to protect the safety of the Taoist people's homes, but the disaster was a disaster. Since the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, when the Heavenly Master Dao moved north to the Jin and Song dynasties, there was a serious situation of organizational chaos and the abolition of science and law.

At that time, many Taoist people did not go to Shizhi to participate in the assembly on the day of the Three Sessions. Do not report the household registration, do not pay the rent.

Some Taoist officials even "signed in vain." Regardless of the person, there are only many people, there are only many people who are governed, and they are only governed by the greatest, and they compete to win first, and they are even more superior", "vertical and horizontal, chaotic and chaotic, with the body of provocation, and the rule of hypocrisy." There are no precepts, they do not obey the fatwa, they break the ban, and they take the law lightly. wanton greed, and indulging in food and drink, betraying the orthodoxy of the alliance and the covenant, and subverting the law to the evil and witches".

The decay and decay of the sacrificial wine system has lost the role of "governing the people with a clean contract" and making "Taoism Xuanliu and the peace of the family and country". Under these circumstances, Lu Xiujing made a series of innovations to the Heavenly Master Dao to make it more mature.

Zhang Wanfu, who witnessed the entry of the two princesses, seemed to be a subordinate of Shi Chongxuan, the master of Taiqingguan at that time, but only two or three years later, probably with the fall of Princess Taiping, Shi Chongxuan's defeat, he gradually began to emerge, and finally became the new master of Taiqingguan, and became an important figure in Taoism in the Kaiyuan period.

According to Duzhu Jingzi's previous Liu Xing's historical records, in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Wanfu and Zhu Faman's Taiqingguan and Yuqingguan in Chang'an occupied an important stage respectively.

The "Three Caves of the Precepts", "The Calendar of the Three Caves of the Three Caves of the Taoist Priests' Commandments" and the "Notes on the Precepts of the Ritual of Cultivation" compiled by them have played a great role in standardizing the behavior of Taoist priests and sorting out Taoist ceremonies.

Among them, Zhang Wanfu, in particular, can be seen in many later Taoist literature, he is an important figure in the history of Taoism to clean up Taoist rituals, on the one hand, he criticized the anomie of Taoist rituals in various places, and on the other hand, he started to rearrange and clean up the Zhaijiao rituals of various Taoist schools.

Zhang Wanfu's influence continued in Taoism until the late Tang Dynasty, and when Du Guangting of the late Tang Dynasty again criticized the chaos of Taoism, he still had to recall Zhang Wanfu.

He said, "There is a mediocre stream recently, not up to the feelings of the ancient sages, first before the Xuan Shi to fill the six positions, Xuanke conferred Jane, and then ascended to the altar, still Yun Jian lonely Mr. Zhai law fallacy, pretending to be non-slanderous, the words are different, ignorant and ignorant, as far as this, there is still its party, similar to it, not only to get the guilt of the law, but also to be slandered by the sage, to teach the gentleman, it is appropriate to reprimand it."

He emphasized, "The ancient rites of the Golden Seal and the old method of the Yellow Seal, on the night of the enlightenment and at the time of speech, are all done naturally first and then acted. He pointed out that this neat and sacred Taoist ritual is that this method has been passed down from Zhang Tianshi, Lu Jianlian, Kou Tianshi, and Zhang Qing to the present......

It can be said that the real grandmaster lineage of the Heavenly Master Dao is from Zhang Ling, Ge Xuan, Lu Xiujing to Zhang Wanfu, after the development and innovation of the past dynasties, the authentic lineage in today's Taoist sect, so its disciples call themselves "Zhengyi".

Zhang Jixian is rumored to be a taciturn person, and he taught at the age of nine. Huizong Chongning was summoned to Tokyo four times after that, built the inner court of Jiao, gave the title "Mr. Xujing", regarded the rank of Zhongsan doctor, and gave Kunyu the engraved "Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal" and so on. Zhang Jitian is also a great master of the Qingwei sect.

Zhang Jixian won the favor of Song Huizong, but he was determined to dilute it, and he liked to be comfortable in the mountains, quiet and cultivated, and repeatedly begged to return to the mountain.

After making the nunnery in the Shangqing Palace, it is the place where the heart sits and forgets, the Huizong pro-book "Jingtong Nunnery" gives it, there is the pavilion name "Zhenran", and builds Lingbao, Yunjin, Zhenyi three views, changes the ancestral temple to the concept of acting.

But last year, Liu Xing had learned from Tian Cewei that this young grandmaster of the Heavenly Master Dao had turned into a flying immortal, but now he suddenly appeared in front of him with a demon refining pot, how could he not be surprised and asked.

Zhang Jixian also seemed to know the reason for Liu Xing's suspicions, and he smiled faintly and said: "The life is over, but I can't go away with a clear heart." It's that old monster Xue, who said that the world will change his fortune greatly, and he invited a life extension talisman to pull me back from the capital city to this noisy world.
