Qi Xuansu became somewhat interested, "What is Yin Moon?"
Lao Pang said, "It is said that there is an eye of the sea at the bottom of the sea, which is connected to the underworld. Yin energy is constantly seeping out from the eye of the sea, and then spreads to the surface of the sea, rising to the sky, and condensing into a black moon, which is the Yin Moon."
Qi Xuansu said, "Even Wutu doesn't know about such a yin moon, but you can actually know it."
Lao Pang said, "Because Master Wutu is not from the Central Plains and does not go to sea, he does not know these maritime legends."
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but ask, "Is it still related to the Central Plains?"
Lao Pang said, "Zhenren Qi should know Sun Lingxiu and Sun Zhenren, right?"
Qi Xuansu was startled, "Of course I know."
Sun Lingxiu was originally from Langya Prefecture in Qizhou. His family followed the Five Dou Rice Road for generations and was a member of the Nandu family in Yongjia. His uncle Sun Jingyuan was taught by Du Zigong, the leader of the Five Dou Rice Road in Qiantang Prefecture, and was respected by others.
About 1,500 years ago, in the second year of Long'an, Wang Gong's Rebellion broke out. Sun Jingyuan thought that the country was about to be destroyed, so in the name of challenging Wang Gong, he secretly formed a secret alliance with thousands of followers to prepare for the uprising. Before the incident happened,
Daozi and his son trapped and killed Sun Jingyuan and his six sons. Sun Lingxiu fled to the island and gathered more than a hundred people determined to avenge Sun Jingyuan.
In the third year of Long'an, Yuan Xian sent out slaves from various prefectures in the eastern lands as guests. He was named "Lezu" and moved to the capital to serve as a soldier.
At that time, Huzhou's wealthy families were specialized in taxation and had nothing to do with the imperial court. The only thing the imperial court could control was Jiangzhou. In order to deal with threats from upstream, Yuan Xian, who was in charge of the government at that time, increased tax collection. In view of the fact that the soldiers in the Beifu did not obey orders,
Current situation, ambitiously wants to build a new army completely controlled by himself.
However, the source of troops was exhausted, and Yuan Xian had no choice but to forcibly recruit strong men from Jiangdong prefectures who were "free from slavery as guests" and concentrated them in the capital for military service. These people were called "Les".
This measure aroused strong dissatisfaction among the gentry and those who were freed from slavery as guests. The gentry generally used slaves and maidservants, and even if they were released as guests, these slaves were still attached to them. Recruiting those who were freed from slavery as guests were considered "happy subjects", which was equivalent to taking them from the hands of the gentry.
A considerable amount of manpower was taken away; and the people who were exempted from slavery as guests, who had been raised from the status of slaves to the status of semi-yeoman farmers with their own economy, were conscripted into low-status soldiers, so they were naturally reluctant. Therefore, this
As soon as the order was promulgated, "the eastern land was in chaos, people were dying, and the world was suffering."
Taking advantage of the unrest among the people, Sun Lingxiu led his troops to conquer Shangyu Prefecture from the island, and took advantage of the victory to defeat Kuaiji Prefecture. The eight prefectures of Kuaiji, Wujun, Wuxing, Yixing, Linhai, Yongjia, Dongyang, and Xin'an responded. Within ten days, all the people
a few millions.
Sun Lingxiu's uprising army occupied the eight prefectures of Kuaiji and called himself "General of the Conquest of the East".
His official position calls his disciples "immortal people". Please punish Daozi and Yuanxian's father and son.
This is undoubtedly another Taoist uprising, and the so-called Five Pecks of Rice Tao is the Tianshi Tao.
In Tianshi Dao, there are also those who lurk in the capital. They are afraid of people and are often concerned about theft, so they are strictly guarded inside and outside.
Xie Yan led a heavy army to attack Sun Lingxiu, and the rebel armies of the eight prefectures in the east of the Yangtze River gathered in Kuaiji. "One of the women had a baby that was too tired to leave, so she held the baby in a bag and threw it into the water. She told him, 'Congratulations on your visit to the Immortal Hall first. I will find you after I find it.'"
'"
In December of the third year of Long'an, Xie Yan led his army to capture Yixing and killed Xu Yunzhi, the leader of the rebel army. Then he marched to Wuxing and stationed troops in Wucheng. He divided his troops to cooperate with Liu Laozhi and advanced to Qiantang Mansion. Sun Lingxiu led more than 20 men and women.
Wankou retreated eastward, and then retreated into the island.
During the fourth and fifth years of Long'an, the rebel army continued to fight fiercely with the official army, and once approached the capital and broke into Guangling Mansion. However, in the end Sun Lingxiu failed to attack Linhai and sank in the sea. The Five Dou Mi Dao believers believed that he had become a Shuiguanzhixian and surrendered.
More than a hundred people died from the water.
Taoism is different from Buddhism. It has always dared to rebel. Later, it took the upper-level path because the Li family came to power. Feeling that Taoism was powerful and uncontrollable, they took action from the bottom of the pot and openly respected Taoism as the first of the three religions.
Taoism, in fact, has eclipsed Taoism, and instead allowed Buddhism to occupy Taoism's original ecological position among the common people at the bottom.
It's just that Buddhism is as timid as a mouse and never dares to rebel. It also exploits the people and only enjoys it. It is unpopular and has been destroyed many times.
In the final analysis, one's own people are the best at regulating one's own people. The Li family conquered the world, and although the Taoist sect apparently reached its peak, in the following hundreds of years, the Taoist sect, which had lost its foundation at the bottom, also fell into disgrace, and was actually reduced to the third level.
The end of the teaching, until Xuansheng revitalized Taoism.
Sun Lingxiu's Five Pecks of Rice Taoist disciples believed in the Tao of eternal life, believed in the three officials of heaven, earth, and water, especially the water official. In fact, the prototype of today's Taoist sect was born.
This uprising also caused the reform of the Taoist sect by the upper-level figures Guan Patriarch and Lu Patriarch, which led to the emergence of the North and South Tianshi Dao. Eventually, the Southern Tianshi Dao returned to Zhengyi Dao, and the Northern Tianshi Dao returned to Taiping Dao.
The Taiping Dao led by the Li family also regarded this incident as another uprising feat after the Yellow Turban Uprising.
In short, Taoism's evaluation of this uprising was quite positive, mainly praising it, so Sun Lingxiu was respectfully called Sun Zhen
He has a much better reputation than Lin Lingsu, the master of the Jin Dynasty.
However, this person lacked foresight and talent, which led to the failure of the uprising. In the end, he was just a real person.
Lao Pang said, "After Sun Zhenren went to the sea and sank himself, he did not die. Instead, he took those immortal people who threw themselves into the water and went to the depths of the sea. At that time, the court searched the mountains and seas to find Sun Zhenren, and all the masters came out, so Sun Zhenren
Without stopping in Nanyang, he went from Nanyang to Luo Suo Continent via Java, but the people from the imperial court were still pressing forward step by step. So Sun Zhenren led the Changsheng people to leave Luo Suo Continent again, continued south, and finally came to the land between the Southern Continent and Luo Suo Continent.
The sea area. The sea here is vast, and there is almost no land except for some islands. The people of the imperial court searched everywhere to no avail, so they had to return to the Central Plains."
"Legend has it that Sun Zhenren sensed the yin moon during his escape and realized the principle of walking toward the moon. Only then was he able to get rid of the Confucian masters from the Central Plains and escape."
Qi Xuansu said, "In other words, there are not only insect people in this sea area, but also the legendary Taoist Immortals?"
Lao Pang said, "Real people don't have to find it strange. The sea is bigger than the New World. How many people are there in the New World today? Westerners, Central Plains people, aboriginal people, and slaves plundered by Westerners. How can the aboriginal people be subdivided?
There are many tribes, each with their own differences. The vast sea is so vast, and the insect family cannot be the only one."
Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "That's true. So what is the relationship between insect people and immortal people?"
Lao Pang shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Qi Xuansu asked again, "In that case, how do you know about the Insect Man and the Immortal Man?"
Lao Pang said, "I am also from the Xidao Sect. I have been familiar with the classics since I was a child, and I know many secrets in the eyes of others. However, my qualifications are not good, and I have wasted many years. I can't improve my cultivation, so I can't be a human being. So at the age of thirty
At that time, I began to go to sea, and I have been doing this for decades. I often encountered all kinds of strange things on the sea, including great horrors, and there were often so-called fairy people walking on the sea. I had witnessed it several times. The sailors said that
It's a fairy, but I know that it's actually a bug and an immortal."
Qi Xuansu sighed with emotion, "It seems that this sea is really something that cannot be underestimated."
Lao Pang said, "What the real person said is true. Although real people often travel between continents and across the sea, they are always flying in the sky. The gods and ghosts under the sea have long been dormant. Real people stand in the sky and look down.
There is only calm and magnificent scenery, and there is no danger at all. But in fact, monsters and demons are hidden under the sea, so we must be on guard against it. So
Opening a sea route is the most difficult thing. I don’t know how many people will die. I have to try it out little by little with human lives and ships. Where can I go and where can’t I go?"
"To this day, let alone flying boats in the sky, ships on the sea still have to follow the familiar routes that have been established and dare not deviate from the waterway. The sea area that the real person mentioned happens to be outside the normal waterway and is very dangerous.
.”
"Some ships strayed into this place by mistake and never came out again. Legend has it that countless ships were sunk there, and countless souls were bound to the bottom of the sea, never to be reincarnated. There are also legends that there was a huge sea monster here, which was once the great monster of the South Seas, but was expelled by the Queen of Heaven.
, had to flee here. I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
Lao Pang is the captain of a sea-going ship, but the key to going to sea this time is the word "find", so he was transferred to the flying boat.
Qi Xuansu nodded slightly and looked at Yang Shaozhen: "Yang Gangshou, what do you think?"
Yang Shaozhen replied, "We are a flying boat and a warship, so we shouldn't be afraid of these things. But it's better to be careful."
Qi Xuansu said, "You really should be careful. How are your manpower?"
Yang Shaozhen said, "Master Huangfu has explained that you should be more precious than more valuable."
Qi Xuansu thought for a while and ordered, "Tell Hu En'ahan that if his work is finished, we can get on the boat."
Utu stepped back and disappeared into the shadows.
Not long after, a group of people came to the "Ceratopsian", and Utu and Hu En'ahan were also there.
Qi Xuansu walked in front and looked around the boat.
Huangfu Ji was also careful. This "Chorned Dragon" is a warship in service, not a decommissioned one. It is considered to be in its prime. The deck, bulkheads, guardrails and other places are covered with various talismans, and each talisman is
It's just a formation point, and the whole overlaps into a huge formation.
Hu En'ahan was one position behind Qi Xuansu and said, "I usually keep my feet on the ground, but now I have to be at sea, and I feel a little uneasy."
Utu and Hu En'ahan walked side by side. "Isn't there a dragon among all the human and immortal signs? How can a dragon not be at ease when it enters the sea?"
Hu En Ahan "It's okay if you don't mention dragons. When you mention dragons, it reminds me that Dao Sect slaughtered countless dragons and forced the remaining dragon clan to go far into the deep sea. We won't just happen to meet each other, right? Then we will have new and old hatreds.
Calculating the hatred, in a big battle, I am afraid that my human, immortal, and hundreds of forms will not be able to defeat the real dragon."
Wu Tu said, "It's bad luck, bad luck, don't talk nonsense, there's no such thing as a coincidence."
