Chapter 24: The Taoist Priest

"The Legend of Cultivating Immortals in the Infinite World" is uploaded, clicked, collected, and recommended...... Thank you CBBCCA, laughing at the reward of the brothers and grandsons......

He climbed the hill and looked into the distance. I remember that it was written in an ancient poem that the wind and snow in Yanshan were as big as a seat. Although this sentence is too exaggerated, even if it is a place thousands of miles north of Yanshan, there will not be such a big wind and snow. But the palm-sized, very dense snowflakes are the first time I have seen them in my life.

Let the heaven and earth also become blurred, and everywhere is gray, so that the heaven and the earth seem to be connected.

But at this time, a figure came from a distance. Although the snow was not knee-deep, it was already thick.

However, the man walked very lightly, as if he was just stepping on the snow shallowly, like Feihong, without the slightest strength.

Wen Da Celestial Master moved slightly, and walked over to the man. At this time, the guards around Wen Fei realized that something was wrong, and chased after him with bows and crossbows.

It's just that the Heavenly Master Wen was moving so fast, and before they could run out a few steps, they were already standing with the person who came from a distance.

In fact, even Great Heavenly Master Wen was a little surprised, he didn't expect to meet a Taoist priest here. Although the Taoist robe is old and white, he is indeed a Taoist priest, and the bun on his head is tied indiscriminately.

I can't tell the age clearly, but at first glance it seems to be very old. But at second glance, it seems to be very young.

That's because the luster of his skin and the look in his eyes give people a very youthful feeling. But the whole person is full of temperament. But it's quite vicissitudes. That's what creates this strange illusion!

"Sanqing is above!" "Master Wen became polite for the first time: "Poor Dao is the Taoist leader Wen Chongxiao, I don't know who the predecessors are?"

The man showed black and white eyes and glanced at Master Wen curiously, just because the black and white distinction was too strong, which made people feel very innocent.

This kind of gaze. It has always been found only in children.

"I seem to have heard of you, your name is Wen Fei......" The Taoist priest smiled: "I didn't expect that in just a few years, you would have such great achievements, I think you are not the real body, you should be the incarnation, right? The incarnation can walk in the world like this, it is really amazing! Let us old guys feel ashamed!"

Wen Da Heavenly Master for this Taoist priest who suddenly appeared. I also felt extremely curious. You must know that the Liao State is different from the Jin Kingdom in the future, the Liao State believes in Buddhism, there are very few Taoist temples, and there are even fewer Taoist priests.

However, it has even been out of the scope of Liao, and even in Beihai, such a barren and cold place, there are Taoist priests who appear, which is incredible to think about.

"Haven't asked your seniors yet?" Wen Fei asked again.

"Hehe, you've definitely heard my name. My name is Zhong Liquan!" the Taoist priest said with a smile.

This name is really like thunder, if the previous Wenda Heavenly Master heard it. It's like being thundered in your ears, kneeling on the ground and begging for your thighs.

But once upon a time. Wenda Heavenly Master has also grown to this point, and he is not weak at all. He smiled and said: "It turned out to be Zhongli's senior! I didn't expect that the younger generation had a fate, and he could actually meet the senior on the shore of the North Sea thousands of miles away!"

Zhong Liquan also laughed: "I didn't expect to see the Han family's army set foot here in my lifetime. The Master's means. Makes me dumbfounded!"

He pointed to the direction of Beihai and said with a smile: "There is Beihai, and the Turks call it "**", which also means "sea". I've been living there for ten years, and I was going to wait for the northern dragon qi to flourish in the world, but I didn't expect that the sect leader would actually have the means to cut off this dragon qi alive!

Wen Fei was silent, and suddenly many historical mysteries were solved at once. He found more and more that he underestimated the heritage of Taoism and the masters of Taoism.

Just like when he first arrived in Bianliang City, Tokyo. It was once said that Taoism has no figures, or that Taoism lacks people like Buddhism who have a strong enterprising spirit and are missionary.

Now it seems that at most, it can only be said that after the decline of the Fu Sect after the Ming and Qing dynasties. What happened after the comprehensive rise of the Dan Dao sect.

Just like Wenda Heavenly Master has always believed, the biggest culprit in the decline of Taoism is actually not the suppression of the Taqing Dynasty, but the rise of the Dan Taoist sect.

Transform a religious derivative into a secret cult!

It can be said that in any large religion, there are groups that practice in secret, but they do not occupy the mainstream, but they are only secretly transmitted among the sects. However, in Taoism, such clandestine groups have taken over the mainstream, and the religious part of the teachings has fallen into a dead silence.

Which sect with a real profound heritage has not experienced the strong suppression of the regime? That is, in the early days of monotheism, before it spread to Hebrew, it was purged and suppressed by the so-called King David.

What's more, in the time of Christ, it was completely blockaded and suppressed by the Roman Empire! If you look at the history of Buddhism, the same is true.

Even those cults such as the White Lotus Sect and the Ming Sect have been suppressed by the government for hundreds of years, but they are still so prosperous in the Qing Dynasty, and even spread more and more widely among the people.

For example, the Sichuan-Chu White Lotus Rebellion, which flourished and declined in the Qing Dynasty, was in the year when Qianlong had just died.

Annihilated a large number of Qing troops, killed more than 400 generals below the rank of adjutant general, and more than 20 first- and second-class officials such as Tizhen, and the Qing government spent 200 million taels on military expenditure, equivalent to four years of financial revenue. The revolt devastated the Qing dynasty, and its rule gradually declined

Then the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising, in fact, was nothing more than a White Lotus uprising. It's just a doctrinal wrapping and associating it with Catholicism. From a practical point of view, it is still those things that are circulated by the folk White Lotus Sect!

Such a folk cult has such a strong vitality. However, after the suppression of Taoism, it completely collapsed. A big part of this is due to internal problems!

The spread of a religion is the key!

But Taoism in this era is different, in the two Song Dynasty eras, when the Dan Taoist sect had not yet fully emerged and replaced the Fu Zheng sect. Taoism still has great vitality, and various new sects have emerged one after another. All kinds of masters are also secretly arranged!

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have known that Luo Zhenren, Lu Dongbin, and even Zhong Liquan in front of him were all secretly arranged, and their figures appeared and disappeared in history, plotting pictures!

It's like the Zhong Liquan in front of him, who actually ran to the desolate and bitter cold Beihai thousands of miles away, trying to plot the northern dragon qi. It is no wonder that in the later Jin era, Taoism suddenly arose in the north.

The True One, the Great Dao, and the Quanzhen factions rose one after another, and suddenly broke out. It turned out that there was a plan by a master to take advantage of the rise of the northern dragon qi to achieve the rise of Taoism!

Thinking of this, Wen Fei sighed and said, "Now that the predecessors' plans have failed, what do you want?"

Zhong Liquan laughed: "Since my sect has flourished and the goal has been achieved, why should I care what means are used......!

Wen Fei suddenly said: "Lu Chunyang has already soared!"

Zhong Liquan was slightly shocked, and suddenly smiled: "It's still him who is free and easy, and after playing a few chess pieces, he will spill away." ”

The two talked eloquently, and Zhong Liquan asked again: "I don't know that the sect leader has come so far, but he has come to cut off this northern dragon vein?"

Wen Fei laughed, he always felt that he had moved back to a city, and he smiled: "Why bother so much, the meat is rotten in the pot or the meat." In the past, the king of Chu lost the bow, saying that the Chu people lost it, and the Chu people gained it. Don't I even have the heart and courage of the King of Chu?"

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "But later Confucius said that it is better for the people of the world to lose it, and the people of the world to gain it! You are not afraid that although the meat is in the pot, it will be taken by wild dogs!"

Wen Fei said with a smile: "Close the fence and tie the wall tightly, don't let wild dogs run into the house!"

The two laughed at the same time, and Wen Fei stretched out his hand and saluted: "It's windy outside, why don't you come in and talk about it?"

Zhong Liquan smiled: "That's exactly what I mean!"

Between the two talking and laughing, they entered the barracks. The pro-soldiers in the back couldn't figure it out, but they didn't dare to disturb when they saw the Heavenly Master and this strange visitor talking and laughing.

Along the way, Zhong Liquan looked at the various arrangements in the Wen Da Heavenly Division's military camp, nodded frequently, and said with a smile: "It seems that Father Shang's army is quite well prepared!"

Master Wen smiled and said, "The seniors have won the prize!" did not enter his own big tent, but walked to a soldier's tent at random.

Entered the tent and lowered the thick curtain to isolate the cold outside. The brazier inside the tent was burning brightly, which made people suddenly feel warm.

Wen Fei smiled: "Every tent is the same, there is no difference!"

The eight soldiers who were surrounding the bonfire were about to stand up and salute, but they were slightly waved by Master Wen.

Zhong Liquan groaned for a long time, looking at the tent made of thick leather, which was enough to keep out the cold. But there are some strange-looking military coats, although the appearance is a little ugly, but when people wear them, they are enough to hang down to the calves and provide enough warmth. Even if you sleep at night, you can use it as a bedding.

He was also well-informed, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the sect leader actually prepared so many white stacked cloths, and filled them with white stacked flowers. That's a lot of money!"

Wen Fei said with a smile: "Don't you look at the white stack, this thing is inconspicuous, but it is the most important fence! With enough and cheap white folded cloth, this land in eastern Liaodong, although it is bitter and cold, ordinary people can also endure it." ”

Zhong Liquan was suddenly moved, and he was able to think of the key to it at once. As long as the problem of keeping out of the cold is solved, then the fertile land of Liaodong outside the Guanxi will naturally not be able to stop the enthusiasm of farmers for the land for thousands of years.

With the enthusiasm of the farmers of Middle-earth for the development of the fields, as long as there is a proper policy.
