Chapter 1440: The Other World (154)

Because there was no oil, there were no enough lights in the whole Bloss flower, only a faint light from the cockpit, which was Buenovski turned on an emergency light, because it was easy to get the wrong direction because he couldn't see the steering wheel clearly.

Fortunately, there are many stars in the sky, although the starlight is faint, but it gathers a lot, and on the deck of the Flower of Blos, it is not dark, at least, Pang Xiaonan can still see Xiao Tian Lima's handsome face clearly.

"Professor Rita Rita, why don't you go back to the cabin to rest. Pang Xiaonan sat on the deck, ready to absorb the aura, but Rita Lima next to him didn't move for a long time, which made him a little difficult to start.

"I want to sit again. Rita Rima sat down beside Pang Xiaonan unceremoniously.

"Pang Xiaonan, what are you going to do when you go back this time?" Oda Rima looked at Pang Xiaonan's face with concern, after the experience of New Bloss, Pang Xiaonan's facial lines became more and more tenacious.

"Don't think about going back yet, let's leave the Bloss Disc first. "Pang Xiaonan is not as optimistic as Oda Limma, as long as he is still in the Bloss disc for a minute, he can't take it lightly.

"I mean, what do you want to do if we go back to China?" Rita Rima experienced life and death this time, and suddenly was full of yearning for a safe and stable life.

"I'd better go back to school. Pang Xiaonan didn't even think about it, he was originally a student, although he hadn't taken a few classes, he still had to fulfill his obligations as a student.

"You said you went back to school, do you believe it yourself? You don't look like a student at all!" Rita Rima has also taught for many years, and a guy like Pang Xiaonan will believe him if he says he is a teacher, but he doesn't believe him when he says he is a student and beats her to death.

"What you said, you can investigate my student status, I am a college student of a prestigious university, the pride of the sky, and there is a job assignment after graduation, even if I go in, even if I have a ...... of working experience" Pang Xiaonan is actually very proud of his status as a student of Dongli Military Academy as soon as he starts school, of course, it is not bad now.

"You are a student on the surface, but in fact you are a Taoist priest, right, your family must be a Taoist family. Oda Rima has long suspected Pang Xiaonan's Taoist identity, judging from his conversation and martial arts, there is no doubt that he is a Taoist heir.

"Haha, you can see this," Pang Xiaonan touched the back of his head and calculated it, "That's right, I am the seventy-seventh generation descendant of the Taoist Party, and Pang Xiaonan is also!"

"Haha, I'll just say, you must be a Taoist person, tell me honestly, you Taoist people, can't you get married and have children?"

"It seems that you have some misunderstandings about Taoism, and today I will popularize the knowledge of Taoism for you. Pang Xiaonan glanced at Xiao Tian Lima meaningfully, he didn't know if the worldly people he was talking about could understand.

Taoism is the native religion of China, with Taoism as the highest faith. Taoism is actually a religion that religiousizes Taoist ideas that originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and turns the founder and successor of Taoist doctrine into immortals. Taoism is a polytheistic worship, and the gods and immortals are personified by Taoism's belief in the Tao. A Taoist priest is a member of the Taoist clergy. For a long time, many people have been questioning whether Taoist priests can get married and have children, so let's explore this question from the history of Taoism.

Taoism and the Chinese people breathe the same breath and share the same fate, and the history of Taoism is closely linked to Chinese history. Taoism has also been divided into many schools with the changes of Chinese history, the earliest of which should belong to the Maoshan school. Shaanxi Xianyang Taoist Mao Ying and his younger brother Mao Gu, Mao Cheng in Juqu Mountain to collect medicine and alchemy, help the world to save the people, the people feel its merits, then changed the name of the mountain to "Maoshan", the three brothers of the Mao family are called Maoshan Taoist patriarchs. Sanmao Zhenjun got the Tao in Maoshan and opened the Maoshan Taoist School.

Three hundred years after the Maoshan sect was established, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Lu usurped the sect established by Zhang Xiu, which was called Wudou Midao, also known as Tianshi Dao. Respect Lao Tzu as the ancestor and take the Tao Te Ching as a classic. And established a secessionist regime in Hanzhong. Zhang Jiao also established the Taiping Dao in the Central Plains, used the Taiping Sutra as a classic, developed believers and led the vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising. After the uprising was suppressed, Taiping Road disappeared.

The prevalence of metaphysics in the Wei and Jin dynasties provided a good space for the development of Taoism. The theoretical foundations of Taoism have been enriched and sublimated. The famous Taoist scholars Ge Hong and Tao Hongjing enriched the Taoist theory and cultivation theory of immortals, constructed the pedigree of Taoist immortals, and promoted the development of Taoist theory. At the same time, they also borrowed each other's doctrinal theories in their confrontations with foreign religions such as Buddhism.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Taoism developed to its heyday, especially during the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty respected Laozi as an ancestor and Taoism as the state religion. Measures should be taken to vigorously promote Taoism and improve the status of Taoist priests. The Shaoyang sect and Maoshan sect of Zhongnan Mountain became the mainstream of Taoism. The rulers of the Northern Song Dynasty inherited the Tang Dynasty's policy of worshipping Taoism, and the two emperors of Song Zhenzong and Song Huizong cultivated Taoism, built palaces, and canonized immortals. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Fu Gong Dao Law flourished, and the Maoshan Sect, which had many high roads, was the strongest. The Quanzhen sect also quietly rose at this time.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, and Yuan Dynasty, Taoism was seriously divided, and many sects were established. Because of Genghis Khan's appreciation, Changchun Zhenrenqiu, the patriarch of the Quanzhen Longmen School, was worshiped by Genghis Khan and called him a "god", worshiped as a national teacher, and was in charge of Taoism in the world, laying the foundation for the great development of Quanzhen Dao. Quanzhen Religion then became the mainstream of Taoism in the north. In the south, the Maoshan sect, Taiyi, Shenxiao faction, Qingwei faction, Donghua faction, Tianxin faction and other Fuzhen Taoist sects continued to develop, forming a new Taoist sect - Zhengyi.

After the Ming Dynasty, Taoism gradually moved towards secularization and folkization. Many emperors of the Ming Dynasty revered Taoism, which brought its prosperity to the pinnacle. And the official division of Taoism into one or two factions, Quanzhen and Zheng. After the Qing Dynasty, with the suppression of the Manchu rulers, Taoism went into decline.

Judging from the history of the development of Taoism, before the rise of Quanzhenism, Taoism has always been a very secular religion. Most of the Taoists practice medicine to help the world and help the poor while cultivating immortals. In addition, there is no prohibition on marriage and childbearing. The taboo on marriage should originate from the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and Taoism and Buddhism borrowed from each other in doctrine and theory. But at the time, it was only a precept theory and did not have a substantial impact. The Quanzhen sect, which accepted this theory of strict precepts, completed the construction of the theoretical system during the Tang and Song dynasties, and reached its peak with the favor of the rulers during the Yuan dynasty.

In fact, before Jin and Yuan, there was no requirement for Taoist priests to become monks, and basically Taoist priests would not become monks. Heavenly Master Dao can't help but marry, in fact, the Heavenly Master Dao passed on by Zhang Lu has inherited the legal system as a relative of the Heavenly Master Dao. It was not until the establishment of the Quanzhen Sect in the Jin Dynasty that there was a monastic system (that is, the ordination system of Qiu Chuji). Quanzhen Sect is a monk who does not marry, eats a vegetarian diet, and lives in a Taoist temple, the male is a Taoist priest, and the female is a Taoist aunt, and its characteristics are: all have long hair, tie the hair on the top of the head into a bun, can wear a crown, and the male Taoist priest should have a beard. However, Zhengyi does not have such a requirement, and Zhengyi Taoist priests can get married, eat meat, and only carry out the precepts when doing things.

Therefore, even in terms of doctrine and canons, only Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect forbid marriage. Most of the other schools of Taoism do not have such constraints.

Oda Lima listened with relish, she does not reject religion, especially the local religion of China, Taoism is a sect that everyone likes to see, if you don't know that the Taoist priest has great powers, people will say that you are lonely and unheard.

Pang Xiaonan paused and continued to talk about Taoist orthodoxy.

Zhang Lu's grandfather, Zhang Ling, is the founder of Taoism in the strict sense, that is, the ancestor of Wudou Midao, so he is respectfully called Zhang Daoling by later generations.

Zhang Daoling, the word Fu Han, the tenth grandson of Zhang Liang, the founder of the Western Han Dynasty, recorded in the "Han Tianshi Family": good life is not doubtful, no doubt is born high, high life is passed, Tongsheng is not vain, no vain is born Liren, Liren is born Hao, Haosheng Gang, Gangsheng Dashun, Dashun Shengdaoling. Han Guangwu Jianwu was born on the fifteenth day of the first month of the tenth year of Feng County, Afang Village, before he was born, his mother dreamed that Kuixing was descending, and she felt pregnant. When he was born, the room was full of strange fragrance, and it did not disperse for a whole month, and the yellow cloud covered the top, and the purple air filled the courtyard. Brilliant since childhood, at the age of seven to read through the "Tao Te Ching", astronomy and geography, the book of Heluo Weiwei are all well understood, when he was a scholar of Taixue, Botong "Five Classics", and later sighed: "These books can not solve the problem of life and death!"

So Zhang Daoling abandoned Confucianism and changed the way of learning longevity. Zhang Zu was twenty-five years old, and he was an official who worshiped the Jiangzhou order. And he was in the government, admired Qingxu, and soon lived in seclusion in the north of Luoyang, pondered and learned the Tao, practiced for three years, and came to his place with a jade talisman from the mouth of the white tiger. In the early years of Yongyuan, Emperor Han and Emperor gave him the title of Taifu, and was named the Marquis of Ji County, three edicts, Zhang Zu declined, he said to the messenger: "Life is in the world, but a hundred years old, time flies, and it will pass in an instant." The parents are long, and the wives and concubines are lovely, and they will disappear at any time. Please tell the Holy Lord, as long as you are quiet and have few desires, and rule by doing nothing, the world will naturally be decided, what use do you want me to be?

Zhang's ancestor traveled to the Huai River in the south, lived in Tongbai Taiping Mountain, and later crossed the river to the south with his disciples Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng, and lived in Yunjin Mountain, Guixi County, Jiangxi. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the scenery is quiet, it is the place where the ancient immortals dwell, Zhang Zu settled on the mountain and dwelt, and built the altar for alchemy, and the god pill became in three years; the dragon and tiger appeared, so the mountain is also called the dragon and tiger mountain. Zhang Zu was 60 years old at the time, and later moved to Heming Mountain in Sichuan, where he felt the stone crane singing for a long time.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the first year of Emperor Han'an of Han Shun, it is said that Taishang Laojun descended to Shu and taught Zhang Zu "Taiping Cave Extreme Sutra", "Zhengyi Mengwei Twenty-four Grades of Law Urn", three or five Gong jade seals, male and female evil swords and other scriptures and magic weapons, worship as the heavenly master, and instruct the heavenly master to widely practice the way of Zhengyi Mengwei, sweep away demons, and save the people. So in July of the second year of Han'an, the Heavenly Master climbed Qingcheng Mountain, met eight ghosts, fought all the ghosts, subdued the demons of the outer way, and punished the evil hypocrisy. The Heavenly Master Dao is through the Xuan, the demons can not be defeated, each surrenders, willing to take refuge in the right way, so the Heavenly Master ordered the five directions, eight departments and six heavenly ghosts and gods, in Qingcheng Mountain under the Yellow Emperor altar swearing, people are in the yang, ghosts are in the netherworld, so that the six heavenly ghost kings are imprisoned in the capital of the North Yin, and the eight ghosts are exiled to the border of the Western Regions. Since then, the demons have surrendered, the people are happy, and there are still historic sites such as the oath ghost platform and the ghost boundary monument where the heavenly master and the ghosts are fighting in Qingcheng Mountain.

The people of Shu were very moved and willing to listen to the teachings of the Heavenly Master. So the Heavenly Master set up twenty-four rulers, recruited disciples, and educated the people. On September 9 of the first year of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the Quting Mountain of Chicheng, Sichuan, the Jade Emperor sent a messenger to hold a jade book, and enshrined the Heavenly Master as a real person, and the Heavenly Master lived one hundred and twenty-three years old, and soared in the day of Cangxi Yuntai Mountain.

Zhang Daoling, originally named Zhang Ling, was originally a scholar of Taixue, studious, erudite Five Classics, in the way of Huang Lao, at the age of seven he was able to pass the Book of Virtue and the Book of Heluo Tu, all of which are extremely mysterious. Grow up to be a learned man. After abandoning the official and learning the Tao. Founded Zhengyi Mengweidao, referred to as Zhengyi. Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty in the first year of Yongshou in Heming Mountain to create a league of prestige, Taishang Laojun "granted three days of the law, life as the heavenly master", called himself "three days of the master is a real person", and compiled 24 Taoist books. Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty ascended to Lingtai Mountain (also known as Tianzhu Mountain) in Cangxi County, Sichuan, and legend has it that he was 123 years old at the time, and Taoism called "Ancestral Heavenly Master". Legend has it that the first generation of Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling learned the Tao from Taishang Laojun, and was personally taught by Laojun, who was blessed with a unique and strong Taoism.

The Taoist sect created by the ancestor Tianshi is called Zhengyi Alliance Weidao, referred to as Zhengyi. But because of the people who follow the Tao, they must produce five buckets of rice, and at that time they were called five buckets of rice, in fact, they are mostly used as contemptuous names, but the junior high school textbook called the five buckets of rice Daoling Zhang Daoling in addition to the calligraphy to cure diseases, drive away evil spirits and disasters, in the Bashu area to establish 24 religious activity centers, that is, 24 treatments.

The Taoist people regularly go to the Taoist school and pray for prayers. His grandson Zhang Lu had an army at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and during the Three Kingdoms period, and established a **** secession regime in Hanzhong. He also used the power of the political power to promote some social and sectarian ideas of the righteous side, for example, the guilty person should not be severely punished, but forgiven three times before being punished, and the punishment was relatively light, and he was usually allowed to build roads. At the same time, a righteous house is set up on the road, and rice and meat are placed in it, so that passers-by can eat it.

These measures have created a relatively relaxed living environment for the people in the world in a chaotic situation, so they have been supported by the local Han and ethnic minority people. Later, Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao, and the secession regime could no longer exist. Cao Cao moved the power of the Heavenly Master Dao to the north, but let the Zhengyi League Wei Taoism be retained and spread to the interior.

"No wonder the current Heavenly Masters are all surnamed Zhang, it turns out that they can get married and have children. "Oda Rima knows that the descendants of the Taoist sect are generally called Zhang Tianshi, and this is the truth.

"Yes, Taoism has to look at the sect, some sects cannot get married, and some sects must be passed on from generation to generation. Pang Xiaonan quoted an original sentence of Taoist thought, "Taoism talks about abstinence, not abstinence like some religions, this is the specific manifestation of humanity in Taoist thought." ”

"Then can your Taoist party get married or not?" Oda Rima tilted her head and looked at Pang Xiaonan, she took Pang Xiaonan's words seriously.

"Well...... this" Pang Xiaonan just said casually, in fact, he didn't know what the rules of the Taoist party were, he knew that Wang Lang, who competed with himself in the Dongli Military Academy mixed martial arts competition, was a Taoist party, "Our Taoist party has no strict rules, and it should be possible to get married." ”

"What, you are an authentic heir, you don't know if your sect can get married?" Xiao Tian Lima was a little strange and began to doubt Pang Xiaonan's identity.

"I'm still young, so I haven't asked my master this question yet. Pang Xiaonan had no choice but to talk nonsense.

"Hmph, you're still young, I don't think you're old at all. Rita Rima began to feel a little sleepy, almost nodded and leaned on Pang Xiaonan's shoulder to fall asleep.

"Professor Rita Rima, I see you're tired too, so it's better to rest in the cabin early. Pang Xiaonan didn't want to have a beautiful woman next to him when he was practicing, which interfered with his attention too much.

"Well, well, I'm really sleepy, I'll go back first. You also rest early. "Lima Oda has experienced all kinds of dangers during the day, and her spirit is highly tense, and this time she is really tired.

When Oda Rima returned to the warehouse, Pang Xiaonan was just about to meditate, and Professor Li Sanming came out.

"Professor Li Sanming, why don't you take a break?" Pang Xiaonan had a hunch that Professor Li Sanming had something to ask him.

"Pang Xiaonan, I can't sleep," Li Sanming walked to Pang Xiaonan's side and sat on the ground, "Thinking of everything that happened in New Bloss in the past few days, those bloody scenes appeared in my mind over and over again like a movie." ”

"Don't think too much, Professor Li Sanming, it's all over. Pang Xiaonan knows that ordinary people have experienced so many unforgettable pictures, which is indeed a great psychological torment.

"I can't control my thoughts. "Although Professor Li Sanming has survived in the wild for a long time, he has a terrifying experience like New Bloss.

Pang Xiaonan took a deep breath, and regarded it as an inhalation of aura, "Try not to think about it, I know this experience is very cruel to you, after all, it happened, let's let it be." ”

As the captain of the scientific expedition team, it is certain that I feel uncomfortable watching the scientific expedition team members around me die one by one.

"Let me ask you, what happened when you left us?" Professor Li Sanming got to the point.

"It's nothing, it's just similar to the situation I encountered before, and I encountered several waves of monsters, and they were even more powerful monsters, so Wu Yongqiang sacrificed. Pang Xiaonan followed his plan and did not mention the gorilla.

"How did he die?" Professor Li Sanming wondered at first, why only three members of the team of four had returned, and it was the Black Mamba Guards who died.

It stands to reason that Rita Yama and BridgeMorgan are not as strong as Wu Yongqiang, and if they want to die, they will also die if they are the one between Lipa Oda and Bridgemorgan.

Even if Bridgemorgan had armor to protect his body, then Rita Rima should be the one most likely to be sacrificed, but Rita Rima came back intact, and Wu Yongqiang couldn't even see the corpse.

This is something that anyone with the ability to think for themselves would think, let alone a thoughtful scientist.

"Here's the thing, we came to a lake, and Wu Yongqiang and I went to the woods by the lake to find food," Pang Xiaonan began to tell the cause of Wu Yongqiang's death, of course, skipping some of the content," When we came out of the woods, we didn't see Mr. Bridgemorgan and Professor Rita Rima Oda, so we continued to look for them, even if they were corpses, but we didn't find them for a long time, and then we met a group of prehistoric rhinos, and under the collision of the rhinos, Wu Yongqiang was stepped into the ground, and died like that. ”

"You mean, he was trampled to death by a rhinoceros?" Professor Li Sanming remembered the scene of a rhinoceros herd fighting a tiger wolf in the savannah.

Pang Xiaonan nodded and added, "Yes, there are too many rhinos, I can't cope with them, and I can't save him in time." Although Pang Xiaonan regretted that he did not save Wu Yongqiang, he knew that life and death are fateful, and perhaps this was the best destination for Wu Yongqiang.

"Is it the kind of rhinoceros we usually see, or is it much bigger than those rhinoceros?" Professor Li Sanming was very interested in the rhinoceros described by Pang Xiaonan, since Pang Xiaonan couldn't cope with it, it means that it is a very powerful species.

"It's a lot, it's almost 3 meters tall, bigger than an elephant. Pang Xiaonan gestured at the height of the rhinoceros and felt that it seemed to be too small.

"Oh, that's no wonder. "Such a large rhinoceros may not even be an opponent of dinosaurs, let alone people.

"Then how did you finally find Oda Rima and Bridgemorgan, and why did they disappear?" Professor Li Sanming needs to make this experience clear, he is the captain of the scientific expedition team, and he must be clear about the whole process, and only after he goes back can he explain to public opinion.

"According to them, they were chased by a pack of hyenas, so they kept running until they ran to the prairie, then they got rid of the hyenas, and then they got lost in the prairie until they met me. Pang Xiaonan didn't know how to make this experience more complete, and he always felt that something was wrong with this reason.

"Chased by hyenas?" Professor Li Sanming found the clue, "Can the two of them escape the hyena?" "Anyone with a little common sense knows that it is impossible for a person to run past a hyena, because a hyena has four legs, while a person only has two legs, not to mention that this is in New Bloss."

"Well...... this" Pang Xiaonan scratched the back of his head, knowing where he was wrong, "It may be that people have exploded their potential under extremely dangerous circumstances, so the speed has accelerated, and I guess that the hyenas are still a little worried in the process of chasing and killing, it may be that there are still their nemesis in the local area, so there are some scruples about chasing them." ”

"Are you saying that there are other animals that hunt them down with the hyenas, and they happen to be the hyenas' natural predators?"

"It should be, otherwise why don't the hyenas chase after the grassland?" Pang Xiaonan finally took a lot of effort to complete the story, "I think it may be that there is a fierce beast in the air on their heads." ”

"Beasts in the air, do you mean eagles?" Professor Li Sanming remembered a scene of a hyena chasing a hare, and an eagle hovering in the air, rushing down to take its prey when the time came.

Pang Xiaonan shook his head and said, "It's not an eagle, according to Professor Oda Lima's recollection, that beast seems to be a pterodactyl." ”

Pang Xiaonan finally lured the dinosaur out.

"Pterodactyl, you mean, you also found dinosaurs by the lake?" Li Sanming was taken aback, this was a major discovery, because dinosaurs were a kind of prehistoric beasts that lived in Hallelujah for a long time, and they were more valuable for research than prehistoric pythons and prehistoric spiders.

"That's right," Pang Xiaonan looked at the calm sea, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "The night before yesterday, we saw dinosaurs in the lake, Professor Oda Lima said that it was a brachiosaurus, several brachiosaurs were playing in the water, and there were pterosaurs flying over their heads, so the next day we named the lake Dinosaur Lake." ”

"Dinosaur Lake, Dinosaur Lake ......" Professor Li Sanming muttered to himself, but there was excitement in his eyes that could not be concealed, "This discovery is so amazing, I think I will definitely come to New Bloss again in my lifetime and see the dinosaurs you said with my own eyes." ”

"I don't think it's better not to come, right?" Pang Xiaonan wanted to stop Li Sanming's thoughts, this was a very dangerous idea, "This time we were almost wiped out, it's better to take care of your health." ”

And Pang Xiaonan knew that this time it was the gorilla's subordinates who showed mercy, if he got angry and destroyed these people in minutes, even if more troops came, it would be difficult to defeat the immortal-like existence.

"As long as I can see the extinct dinosaurs, I won't die. As a world-renowned scientist, his greatest ideal and hobby in life is the pursuit of truth, and Professor Li Sanming feels that his life is really insignificant compared to the discovery of dinosaurs.

"Professor, don't think about it, we will naturally see you again, so let's rest early. Pang Xiaonan knew that he couldn't stop the scientists' pursuit of truth, so he had to persuade Professor Li Sanming to rest early and leave himself some time and space to practice.

"I have one last question, you should have gone deep into the hinterland of New Bloss, what did you find, why did you come back?" Professor Li Sanming felt that Pang Xiaonan must have found something, so he would turn back to the expedition team.

"I found out that there was an active volcano in the middle of New Bloss, and we couldn't get over it, so I came back. Pang Xiaonan told the story that had been prepared in advance.

"Active volcano? As I thought, this island is a volcanic island, and I suspect that the protective shield of New Bloss is caused by the activity of this active volcano. Professor Li Sanming nodded, quite satisfied with his original guess.

"Well, that's how it should be. Pang Xiaonan made up his own story, so he had to echo it.

"Do you think we'll leave the Bloss Disc safely?" Li Sanming looked at Pang Xiaonan hopefully.

Pang Xiaonan pursed his lips, nodded seriously, and said, "Yes, don't worry." ”

Professor Li Sanming turned around and went back to the cabin, but Pang Xiaonan frowned, he felt that the aura around him was getting more and more wrong.
