The drowsy saint was sitting on the futon as usual, seeming to be sleeping but not sleeping, and seeming to be awake but not awake.
In the Zijin Bagua Furnace, the Six Ding Divine Fire is still beating like in the past.
The two boys fanning the fire were also a little slack.
The cattail leaf fan in my hand seemed to be fanning weakly.
Suddenly...
The saint opened his eyes.
"Golden boy!" the saint called his boy.
The boy in golden clothes quickly put down the cattail leaf fan in his hand, came to his master's seat, knelt down and bowed respectfully: "What are your orders, master?"
"Junior Brother Yuanshi invited me to go to Yuxu Palace to teach the Dharma to all the disciples of Chanjiao..."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until Xuandu comes back!" Laojun said: "When Xuandu comes back, you will tell him and order him to come to Yuxu Palace to see me!"
"Yes!" The boy kowtowed respectfully and received the saint's decree.
Saint Laojun stood up and waved the fly whisk in his hand.
A green bull with flat horns came from outside the temple to the saint's seat.
Laojun rode on the green bull, staggered out of Laojun Temple, and headed towards Daluotian under countless auspicious lights.
Before the Great Tribulation of the Gods, Laojun once taught the Golden Immortals under his disciples on behalf of the Yuqing Sage.
At that time, the interpretation and teaching were one and the same.
However, after the Great Tribulation of the Gods, everything was different, because the teachings only suffered a small loss in the Nine-bend Yellow River Formation, and the three flowers on the top of the disciples were cut off, which only eliminated the five qi in their chests.
Some damage to Taoism can be almost made up for by being in seclusion in the cave for a hundred years.
Therefore, after the Tribulation of Conferring Gods, the Chan Sect and the Human Sect parted ways in a tacit understanding.
In addition, two things happened.
One was the Taoist monk Randeng, the deputy head of Chanjiao. He saw the heavenly secret and knew that the West was about to rise, so he took Cihang, Samantabhadra and others to the West and became the Ancient Buddha of Randeng in the West.
One is that Chanjiao relied on Prince Wu and his grandson to establish an order of etiquette and law in the lower realm.
There are two places where the saints of the Yuan Dynasty settled down.
One is his disciple Jiang Ziya,
The country was founded on the coast of the East China Sea, locking the East China Sea and shielding the two tribes of witches and demons from the sea.
One is the sage of the Yuan Dynasty, his direct disciple, and the younger brother of King Wu, Zhou Gongdan.
Zhou Gong established the etiquette and law and carried out the road of teaching.
Governing the world with humble gentlemen, descendants of immortals and gods who are morally pure and blessed.
For tens of thousands of years before and after, great rule will be achieved in one moment.
There are words from Duke Zhou that the world will return to its heart.
Therefore, Chanjiao Tao temporarily usurped the authority of human religion.
Under the general situation, Laojun also had to retreat into Laojun's view and not care about worldly affairs in order to avoid disasters.
However, once the time scale is enlarged to one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand years.
The natural loopholes in the religious order are exposed.
Finally reached the present ending.
The rites have collapsed and the music has collapsed, and the world is in chaos.
Even those who are descendants of immortals may no longer believe that teaching rituals and laws can govern the world.
As a result, cause and effect ran rampant, and the Zhou Dynasty was destroyed. If the golden immortal of Chanjiao had not taken action, I am afraid that the lower world would have turned into ghosts on earth and become a carnival venue for the asuras in the Nine Nether Sea of Blood.
Even so, the teaching etiquette in the lower world may not last long.
Riding on the green bull, looking at the evil obstacles in the lower world and the thick mist of doom formed between heaven and earth.
Lao Jun couldn't help but sigh: "Mercy! Mercy!"
"Blessings come from disasters, misfortunes come from blessings!"
Today's great catastrophe between heaven and earth has not yet emerged.
However, this dense aura of doom has already appeared.
Once a murderous intention strikes, I'm afraid this calamity will be as severe as the Lich Catastrophe of the past.
I'm afraid it would take twelve ancestral witches, people like the Demon Emperor, Ying Jie Huihui, to resolve this massacre and bring peace to the cause and effect of heaven and earth.
However, this is an opportunity for human education.
As early as the Great Tribulation of the Gods, the Taoist ancestor of Zixiao Palace came to the mortal world in person.
Laojun then specially asked Taozu for a decree.
I got a verdict from Taozu.
"Heaven is far away, but humanity is far away!"
This is the general trend of heaven and earth and cannot be changed!
Laojun naturally understood that this was his chance.
If people teach Taoism, it will be established in the lower realm and have a chance to prosper!
Just catch it and succeed...
Then the Taiqing Dao Fruit will mature.
With these things in mind.
Qing Niu has arrived in front of Da Luo Tian.
Laojun was about to ride in on the bull, but suddenly his Taoist heart moved and he had a whim.
Laojun counted with his fingers.
Then he knew that he was his own disciple, and he had already reached an agreement before intercepting his disciple.
The old man then smiled and sang a song: "Hongmeng cuts through the black and yellow scenery, and regulates the five elements in the human world, making Xuanyuan rise to the sky, and Han Guan teaches the Dharma and the Tao is always bright!"
Thousands of years after the Great Tribulation of the Gods, today is the happiest day for Laojun.
The saint was in a cheerful mood.
As a result, even the thirty-three days became chilly.
Then he rode the green bull and walked into the Great Luo Heaven.
……………………
Send Chen Hong away.
Master Tongtian closed the door, then sat on the bed, and first opened the Tao Te Ching.
After removing the transparent and colorless film on the outside and opening the book, you will see lines of small black fonts on the title page.
This is the introduction.
"The Tao Te Ching is one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of our country. It has had a profound impact on traditional philosophy, science, politics, religion, etc... The Tao Te Ching, a philosophical work by Laozi (Li Er) in the Spring and Autumn Period, is also known as
"Tao De Zhen", "Lao Zi", "Five Thousand Words", "Lao Zi Five Thousand Essays", is a work written by the pre-Qin scholars in ancient China before the family split, and is an important source of Taoist philosophical thought. The Tao Te Ching is divided into upper and lower parts.
Chapter, the original text is the first part "De Jing", the second part "Dao Jing"..."
Leader Tongtian read the words on it gently, the expression in his eyes changing.
"If these are true..." Leader Tongtian murmured: "I'm afraid the origin of this world has a lot to do with it!"
If the senior brother really will incarnate as Lao Tzu and Li Er in the future, he will leave this "Tao Te Ching" as the foundation of human education.
So……
The origin of this world is probably closely related to the three realms of prehistoric times.
Leader Tongtian thought about what he had seen and heard in this world.
In this world, the human body is generally weak.
The spiritual energy of the world here is thin, the Taoism has declined, and there is only some superficial martial arts inheritance.
But there are so-called "demon ghosts" coming and going.
and……
The leader thought of the mortal woman whose appearance was almost identical to that of his disciple Gui Ling.
If Guiling is really the turtle spirit reincarnated in this world.
So……
It can almost be established that there is a causal connection between this world and the prehistoric times.
"Apparently, I have to look for that so-called demon to identify its whereabouts!" The leader thought and turned to the first page.
What came face to face were lines of text.
"The Tao can be said, it is very Tao, it can be named, but it is very famous..." Leader Tongtian read slowly, and his Taoist heart suddenly shook.
He is so familiar!
So familiar that I can almost recite it by heart.
Because this is clearly what the Taoist Patriarch in Zixiao Palace discussed in his sermons in the past.
The only difference.
Most of the sermons of the Taoist ancestors are based on the words of the innate Tao, shaking the yin and yang and the five elements to manifest. Unless people with deep blessings, profound cultivation, and innate sacredness cannot listen to it and cannot understand it.
And this passage in this book.
But it is explained in words that ordinary people can understand and understand.
Although it is far less mysterious and subtle than what Taozu discussed.
But they are very similar.
In simple terms……
This passage is someone's retelling of what Taozu said in human language.
