In other words, the inertia of history is really powerful.
The land of the Central Plains in the core area of the Kyushu Barrier has been going around for hundreds of years, and the Tang Empire unexpectedly appeared again.
The founder of the Tang Empire was Li Yuan, who was also from the Li family in Longyou. His second son, Li Shimin, played a trick in the Xuanwu Gate Incident not long after the founding of the country, and successfully killed his brother and imprisoned his father to sit on the throne of emperor.
Only this time, the Central Plains did not experience the 400-year dark history of the Five Husbands, but instead experienced a short-lived 100-year dynasty after the 300-year Cao Wei Dynasty. The country was unified by the very powerful Li family of Longyou.
At this time, secular Buddhism could keep pace with Taoism in the Great Hall, and its development was rapid and rapid.
In particular, Shaolin, founded by Patriarch Bodhidharma, staged a scene in which thirteen stick monks rescued the Tang Dynasty king when the current emperor Li Er was in danger, which made him famous for a while.
Even secular Buddhism is so prosperous, and the influence of heaven has naturally penetrated into it.
Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty has not been living a very good life recently, and the reason is still due to his gambling fight with the Dragon King of Jinghe.
The Dragon King of Jinghe was also unlucky. He had no choice but to gamble on clouds and rain, which were tightly controlled by heaven. In the end, he gambled his life on it.
This guy was unwilling to give up, so he reached a deal with Li Er through communication in a dream. As a result, Li Er failed to hold off the supervisor Lao Wei on the Immortal Immortal Platform, and the Jinghe Dragon King was completely cold. A feeling of resentment combined with some of the disabled people
The soul is haunted by Li Er.
In other words, in order to infiltrate and strengthen its influence in the new Tang Dynasty, Tianting did a pretty good job, and even made Wei Zheng, a famous official of the Tang Dynasty, the supervisor of the Immortal Slayer Platform.
Of course, the position of the Supervisor of the Immortal Slayer is very unpleasant, but having a famous official from the mortal empire like this means that the Heavenly Court is quite open-minded.
However, I guess Li Er will never be too happy.
Is it obvious? After Lao Wei dies, he will almost be able to rank among the immortals. As an emperor, he still wants to live forever, so it would be a good idea to settle for the next best thing and become an immortal after his death.
The result is obvious, Lao Wei's treatment is much better than his.
I don’t know if there was resentment and dissatisfaction in my heart, so I pushed down someone’s tombstone after Lao Wei’s death, and even thought about digging up the grave and exhuming the body?
Without further ado, let’s talk about the fact that Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty was so tortured by the resentful spirit of the Dragon King of Jinghe that he even asked the two fierce generals Yu Chigong and Qin Qiong to serve as goalkeepers, fighting poison with poison and suppressing evil with evil. He finally slept well for a few days.
Sleep.
It's just that this method can't last long. After all, Yu Chigong and Qin Qiong are both famous generals in the Tang Dynasty and one of the high-ranking military bosses. They can't just change their jobs to be goalkeepers in the future.
Even if Li Er was happy, he wouldn't be happy if the two of them got famous and became the military bosses of the Duke of the country.
Fortunately, Li Er was not stupid and directly called for Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, professionals who could solve the problem. He lowered his profile and asked the two Taoist masters to help solve this problem.
In other words, the influence of the Yellow Turbans at that time was still completely dissipated hundreds of years later in the early years of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
The Central Plains did not experience the tragic years of Wu Hu's chaos in China, and the Taoist sect's momentum did not have problems with the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Even because of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban collar, it became the religion that dominated the Central Plains even when secular Buddhism did not rise rapidly.
Even though hundreds of years have passed, two dynasties have changed, and there is still fierce competition from secular Buddhism, the influence of secular Taoism has not diminished much, especially its influence among the wealthy and powerful.
For example, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, who came from the same family, although they both joined the imperial court as officials, Li Er did not act like an emperor when facing the pair of masters and apprentices, but was quite polite.
After listening to Tang Emperor Li Er's explanation, the master and apprentice did not rush to give a solution, but said that they had to go back and think about it first before giving Tang Emperor an accurate letter.
After leaving the palace silently, Yuan Tiangang suddenly sighed heavily, with a desolate look on his face.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Li Chunfeng next to him was startled and asked with confusion: "Supposedly, although Emperor Tang's matter is troublesome, it is not impossible to solve it, right?"
"As a teacher, I naturally understand!"
Yuan Tiangang waved his hand and said helplessly: "I just sigh, a mere dragon god who was deprived of his priesthood and even went to the Immortal Killing Platform, how dare he be so arrogant!"
Li Chunfeng was confused, wondering if the Dragon God was just amazing? Hearing the master's tone of disdain, could it be that the master didn't even take the Dragon God seriously?
"Why, do you have doubts in your mind?"
Yuan Tiangang could see through his apprentice's thoughts at a glance, and said angrily: "If you have any doubts, just say it, there is no need to keep it in your heart!"
"Master, even though Jinghe Dragon God was deprived of his priesthood, he still walked on the Immortal Killing Platform, and now he only has his remnant soul and resentment, but it's not easy to deal with, right?"
Li Chunfeng didn't feel embarrassed and said in confusion: "No matter how you put it, this matter involves heaven, the dragon clan and the underworld. If one bad person can cause a big mess, even your majesty can't resist it!"
"what do you know?"
Yuan Tiangang sneered: "If it were hundreds of years ago, there would be no heaven and earth, let alone the so-called dragon clan!"
After saying this, he paused for a moment, and after the disciple digested the meaning of his words, he sneered and said: "If any dragon clan dared to show up at that time, even the dragon god in the peak realm of immortals would inevitably die and be quartered!
"
"Master, what you mean is the period after the collapse of the Han Empire?"
Li Chunfeng was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and asked curiously: "Master, the turning point of our Taoism seems to be during the late Han Dynasty. Can you tell us in detail what happened at that time?"
"Forget it, there are some things I should tell you!"
Yuan Tiangang pondered for a moment and nodded, and then the master and the apprentice went directly back to the mansion to talk about the matter without going anywhere.
"Chunfeng, does he know that since the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of Han Dynasty, the Taoist sect has been in a very embarrassing situation, and its momentum has declined to the extreme for a while, and I am the only one who can barely support the sect in Hanzhong?"
"This disciple knows that it seems that at that time, a great force emerged in the Taoist sect, which reversed the rather unfavorable situation of the Taoist sect in one fell swoop, and even pushed the Taoist sect to a prominent academic position and participated in the governance and development of the Congratulations territory. Then
It is known as the most glorious period of Taoism since ancient times!"
"Yes, from the end of the Han Dynasty to the founding of the Cao Wei Empire, it was the most glorious period for our Dao Sect. The source was the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, a remnant army after the Yellow Turban Rebellion subsided..."
"Master, are you saying that the powerful rune army of the Cao Wei Empire that was unrivaled in the world was transformed from the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in the late Han Dynasty?"
Li Chunfeng was shocked. He was stunned by such a sudden and breaking news.
You must know that in the years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the most highly regarded dynasty was not the Han Dynasty but the subsequent Cao Wei Empire.
Especially in the early days of the Cao Wei Empire, that rune army that was invincible in the world and conquered almost five huge territories in the Central Plains was definitely the most powerful army in the world that future generations would look up to.
Before the rune army of the Cao Wei Empire is completely dissipated, the foundation of the Cao Wei Empire cannot be shaken no matter what kind of hero it is.
During the Cao Wei Empire, it was not that there were no heroes. There were even many monsters like Zhang Jiao, the Taiping Dao who shook the foundation of the Han Empire.
But in the end, although they created a great momentum, and even achieved extraordinary achievements at one time, occupying a state or even several states, they were all defeated in the end by the rune army that was rampant in the world.
At that time, the Wei Dynasty was known as the first empire in Yunei!
It's just a pity that for unknown reasons later on, the rune army that had existed since the early days of the founding of the country not only failed to develop and grow, but instead slowly dissipated as time went by.
It was not until two hundred years after the founding of the Wei Dynasty that the powerful rune army that once dominated the world completely disappeared, and the foundation of Wei's rule began to shake.
First, the territory in the outer regions was lost one after another, and then the civil strife that lasted for decades drained the vitality of the Wei Empire. Only then did the founding emperor of the short-lived century-old dynasty gain a huge advantage.
But even so, the powerful rune army of the Wei Dynasty is still a topic that future generations talk about, and every time it is mentioned, I can't help but yearn for it and my eyes are filled with light.
At the beginning, the Cao Wei Empire was extremely powerful, and the powerful rune army suppressed the world. Even if the powerful rune army gradually declined, as long as they did not completely dissipate, they were the strongest foundation of the Cao Wei Empire and no one could shake it.
As a direct descendant of the main sect, Li Chunfeng naturally knew that during the period when the Cao Wei Empire was at its peak, it suppressed the outsider cultivation forces and found it hard to breathe. The rune army was the most terrifying hungry spear.
It is recorded in the sect's ancient books that during the heyday of the Cao Wei Empire, the evil Taoist Sun En launched a rebellion in the south, and even instigated the powerful Five Elements Sect to participate in it. At the most crazy time, half of Jiangnan fell into his hands.
The so-called Celestial Master Sun En's cultivation has reached the peak of Earth Immortal. He is only half a foot away from the realm of Celestial Immortal. He can be called an unrivaled Taoist master.
Such a powerful existence, as well as the powerful Five Elements Sect, a powerful cultivation force, occupied half of the Jiangnan area. However, it was easily swept away by the rune army sent by the Cao Wei Empire. Even top experts like Sun En fell in the rune army.
Under the knife and gun.
Now, the master told him that the Rune Army was not created by Cao Wei, but by a very special force in the late Han Dynasty, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. How could he not be surprised?
"Why, are you surprised?"
Yuan Tiangang sneered and said: "This information is only known by the sect leader and the Supreme Elder. It was just that the Cao Wei Empire tried its best to block and conceal this information in order to save face. In order to avoid trouble, it was not circulated among the sects. Over time, it was made public.
The information has turned into so-called secrets, it’s really ridiculous!”
Li Chunfeng didn't know what to say. He felt very depressed at this time, as if his outlook on life had been destroyed...
