Chapter 217 Lying and Demons Claiming the Righteous Way and Pretending to Be a Celestial Master
After the relationship is over, naturally you can't forget the business.

Zhang Tianshi has sent people to visit all the ashrams in Luoyang City to collect clues.

Fan Wujiu and Xie Bi'an worked hard all night to sort out all the fragmented information.

According to their judgment, Wudou Midao and his party should have gone west five days ago and entered Funiu Mountain.

According to the Taoist legend, Mount Funiu was transformed by the emperor's horse, a green bull.

Its main peak, Mingjingshi.

Scenery, light also.

The so-called Jingshi is the top of the light. According to legend, it is the place where the Taoist sage Laozi practiced before he became the emperor. It has always been a Taoist holy place.

Since Wu Dou Mi Dao converted to Taishang, worshiped the light, and worshiped God, they would probably choose Jingshi Mountain to settle when they went west to Hanzhong.

Qingyun thanked the celestial master, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he discussed in detail with all the brothers.

The matter involved Mr. Hua Yang, and the matter of finding a teacher, Zu Weizhi naturally couldn't stay out of it.

Li Shenjun came from the Li family in Longxi, and he was very familiar with the hometown of the sages, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to be a guide.

With the lessons learned from the past, Qingyun acted more cautiously.

Whether Zhang Zhong is the Dragon King identified by Mr. Hua Yang remains to be verified.

Qingyun didn't want to make the same mistake again. If he got everyone's hands this time, but bet on a wrong answer, the situation would be even more passive.

Therefore, the little dragon king Liu Ying and the two will not go with the crowd this time, and stay in the capital to keep an eye on the news from all parties.

Funiu Mountain is the eastward extension of the Qinling Mountains, and Xionger, the outer two mountains spread out in a fan shape, protruding into the Eastern Henan Plain.

The three mountains are rocky, and in late autumn, white rocks, green trees and red maples meet each other, mottled and interlaced, sad and silent, quite a bit of the quiet beauty of autumn leaves.

From Luoyang to Funiu, one needs to travel upstream along the valley of the Yihe River between the two mountains outside Xionger, and go straight to Luanchuan, which is half a day farther than Songshan Mountain.

The god of Yishui is Yiyin, who was originally the good assistant of Taiyi (Shangtang), the king of Shang, and was revered as Yuansheng by later generations.

The Dian of Yishui, the place where Yuan Sheng started, where the emperor came out.

The earliest controversy arose between the three mountains and one river as to whether the direct tracing of the Haotian God was Yuanshi or Taishang.

Of course, Qingyun and his party did not come here to seek the truth.

Although Li Shenjun came from the Li family branch in Longxi, and was a direct descendant of Lao Tzu who was the incarnation of the Supreme Master,
Every stone and tree here, every mountain and every universe, can be said to be exquisite in his mouth.

But he also knew that Qing and Zu didn't want to listen carefully, so they just picked important points to explain briefly.

They set off early the next morning after making their own plans, and arrived at the foot of Funiu Mountain quickly, and it was already noon.

A few people tied up their horses at the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain, and drove some mountain roads.

It was about evening when we reached Banpo.

Far away from the mountains, you can see a red maple tree, which seems to be a very old tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, and it is about to tower.
In this season, it is so red that it can drip blood.

Sure enough, a red leaf fell into the sea of ​​clouds, dyeing the whole haze red.

The afterglow of the setting sun also looks eclipsed by the reflection of the maple crown.

"What an ancient maple!
The tree must be at least a hundred years old! "

Qingyun couldn't help but praise.

"More than a hundred years!
This is the place where Xiangong Taishang realized Taoism.

It was under this maple tree that Xian Gong suddenly realized the truth of heaven and earth, obtained the power to penetrate heaven and earth, and opened the gate of heaven with one sword.

One mile forward from Gufeng, you can see the remains of the Taishanggong who opened the gate of heaven with his sword. "

When Li Shenjun mentioned the miracles of the sages, he spoke vividly, spitting all over the place,

But Qingyun's expression became more serious as he listened.

"what happened?"

Zu Tingzhi seemed to notice that Qingyun's expression was a little strange, so he asked a question tentatively.

"There are sounds of fighting."

Qingyun frowned and listened carefully,

"It's in the direction of that ancient maple."

He casually pointed, Li Shenjun didn't speak anymore, and followed Zu Dianzhi to help his ears to identify carefully.

"No sound?"

Zu Dingzhi looked at Qingyun in surprise.

"I didn't hear anything either."

Li Shenjun followed suit.

Qingyun raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself, am I the only one who caught the faint whimpering sound in the wind?
Yes.

If there is a God, it must be answered in this way.

Ever since Qingyun used infrasound waves to assist in the practice of internal strength,

His musculoskeletal muscles have become very sensitive to vibrations in this band.

In other words, he already has the ability to sense infrasound waves of a specific frequency band.

In the distance, perhaps experiencing a silent battle,

There is no shouting, no sound of weapons colliding, but it can cause the surrounding airflow to fluctuate.

This should be the ultimate competition of internal Qigong!

Although Qingyun still has no way to comprehend it so accurately, but he can truly capture the confrontation of that terrifying force.

He can even perceive the direction and location of this confrontation.

"Trust me, follow me!"

Qingyun held onto the hilt of the sword behind his back, stooped and walked quickly.

Zu Dianzhi and Li Shenjun exchanged glances, and followed quickly.

Under the red maple, on the sea of ​​clouds,
The field of vision is so red that people can't open their eyes.

There seemed to be someone under the maple tree, but it was surrounded by a strong red light, and no one could see clearly what it was like.

Li Shenjun took a step forward, suddenly felt a stagnation in his body, and he could hardly raise his breath.

Tsunade frowned,

He is Tao Hongjing's disciple, he has been influenced by his ears and eyes, and he still has some foundations for the inner family's Qi method.

However, his breathing also seemed to be affected by some kind of fluctuation, and it became extremely stagnant, and every step he took was like lifting a thousand weights.

When the two of them walked three zhang away from Gu Feng, they couldn't speak anymore.

Only Qingyun, with a purple face lingering on his face, was still able to continue to penetrate forward by relying on his cultivation.

The smell of blood filled the air,

The crimson color is not entirely due to the reflection of sunlight, but the real blood mist!
There seems to be some kind of power contained in this layer of blood mist, and when it is squeezed, it will condense into a kind of enchantment to fight against it.

The fog becomes thicker and silkier, and even completely blocks people's breathing.

Qingyun forcibly squeezed a few feet inwards, but he also found it difficult to move.

He turned his head back with difficulty, and looked at Zu Dianzhi.

The latter winked at him and began to back away step by step.

Qingyun understood, held his breath and carefully retreated from the blood mist.

The three of them found a high place and distanced themselves from Gu Feng, then Zu Tingzhi opened his mouth and said,

"The mist here has the nature of blood."

"what?"

Qingyun and Li Shenjun asked this question at the same time.

"Blood is different from ordinary liquids in that they become extra dense when subjected to external shocks.

In addition to blood, highly viscous liquids such as the juice of Eucommia ulmoides and the high-viscosity fat of the Western Regions also have similar properties.

It's just that I don't know what kind of oblique method is in front of me, which can make the mist have this property. "

After listening to Zu Dingzhi's explanation, Qingyun said,
"The strange fluctuations I sensed came from the center of the blood mist under the tree.

Can the second brother have any solution. "

He stretched out his hand to check the direction of the wind.
"The organizers chose this place to deploy the blood mist array mainly because of the special terrain here, which is a blind spot for the mountain wind.

To crack this blood formation, you need to induce wind to dilute the air here.

After the blood mist thins, this weird barrier will be weakened,

Then use the quick sword to open the way, and you can enter the battle. "

"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""

Blood, rubber (or rubber like Eucommia gum), crude oil, these are all natural non-Newtonian fluids.Non-Newtonian fluids are tougher than solids when subjected to impact, and they are usually high-viscosity liquids or suspensions.Some people say that since blood has this property, isn't it more resistant to blows than bones?Yes, it's just that the blood vessels are too thin, and if the blood pools, it will be effective.The water tank only needs a thickness of tens of centimeters to dissipate the kinetic energy of the bullet, and if it is replaced with a blood bag, the effect will be even more amazing.It is true that the world is so wonderful. If you are interested, you can learn about "chewing gum to open coconut" and "liquid body armor", which use similar principles.Of course, there is no known natural gas that belongs to non-Newtonian fluid. The nature of the blood mist in the novel is slightly exaggerated.But this is a novel after all. If we must study its rigorous physical setting, it will be expanded later. This is the superposition of formation (wave), energy, and fluid mechanics.If the doubter has enough ability, he can try to restore this weird coincidence.

As for why Zu Tie proposed to use a quick sword to open the way, this is also the physical property of non-Newtonian fluids, and shear force can cause a very significant dilution effect.

Eden has appeared for the second time in the article.As we mentioned earlier, this is indeed a metaphor.The three names Ivan, John and Jon have the same origin in the Western language family (involving both Latin and Cyrillic language families).It's amazing, isn't it.Shaohao's son Zhong, is a character who appears in ancient Chinese books.In the follow-up works of this series, the story of Eden will be told from an oriental perspective, which will definitely refresh your three views like this book.You will be surprised why there are so many coincidences in the classic records of the East and the West?Why didn't you see it before?Of course, because I haven’t started tidying up before... Cough, cough, it’s swollen, it’s swollen... In short, I believe in this monk, and I can perceive a different world.Which is stronger in Ten Thousand Realms Returning to Yuan?Sweeping leaves at the starting point can be called king.

Haotian God is actually an oriental belief.The word God was borrowed and translated to refer to the supreme god when Western culture was introduced into China.As we mentioned in the main text, there is a dispute between Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun, the supreme god of Taoism. This article does not litigate this lawsuit or make judgments, but only expounds the source of cultural symbols.As for the corresponding relationship between Taishang Laojun and Laozi, there is no need to elaborate too much.Although modern Taoism has repeatedly reiterated that Laozi is not equal to the Supreme Lord, he is just an incarnation of the Supreme.Yes, they are right in everything they say, and there is nothing to dispute about the doctrine.But from the perspective of cultural origin, without Laozi, there would be no later Taishang Laojun.

When Buddhism was introduced into China, there was a debate between Buddhism and Buddhism.Taoists say that Lao Tzu turned Hu, and Buddhists say that Sakyamuni reincarnated first.As for who is older than Lao Tzu and Sakyamuni, Taoism has lost several times.Losing is because the records about Lao Tzu are more detailed. Lao Tzu is more like a historical figure, but Buddha is different... This is not an attack. I have already mentioned the approximate chronological test in the previous article. Slightly earlier than Sakyamuni.But because Lao Tzu argues that Sakyamuni can't argue with facts, Taoism loses fans crazily, and the main god Taishang obviously can't hold it anymore.Therefore, starting from the period of Soochow in the Three Kingdoms, the belief of Yuanshi Dawang (Yuanshi Tianzun) appeared.Some people say that Yuanshi Tianzun is Pangu, so this is in no particular order, right?The previous article about Pangu has also been clarified from the beginning. The birth time of this belief is obviously later than that of Yuanshi, and the cultural connection between them is the attachment of later generations.This is the same as attaching Yuanshi Tianzun and Prince Tianzhu Xudana. These are not original cultures, they are completely like playing the piano like modern online novels, but unfortunately, some people always take it seriously.In short, Yuanshi Tianzun appeared in the Taoist classic "Lingbao Jing" in the Jin Dynasty as the ancestor of Taoism. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Kou Qianzhi improved the Taoism and used Yuanshi Tianzun to regain the Taoist card, so the Tianshi Taoism split in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.When Tao Hongjing summed up the "True Spirit Position and Industry Map" based on the current situation at that time, Yuanshi Tianzun was the highest god in the middle, while the Taishang Laojun was only ranked fourth.The fundamental reason for this is that the Taishang Laojun was used to benchmark the existence of the Buddha at that time. The more gods there are on the Taishang, the higher the status of Taoism will "appear".Of course, the status of Taishang should not be too low. After all, Zhang Daoling still regards Taishang as the highest god, and Taishang has indeed existed as the supreme god of Taoism for hundreds of years.

The cultural ancestor of Yuanshi Tianzun may really have a certain relationship with Yuansheng Yiyin.First of all, belief in Taiyi ([-]) exists in Taoism, and it is relatively clear that Taiyi is Shang Tang.The role of Taiyi Zhenren is not a serious god, but a character in the novel "Fengshen Yanyi". "Feng Shen" is an ancient fantasy novel composed of Buddha, Taoism, and folk beliefs. It should not be too serious.But we can analyze the cultural origin of the characters. For example, Taiyi Zhenren is one of the twelve golden immortals under the seat of Yuanshi Tianzun, so his origin is the first middle god in the "True Spirit Position and Industry Map", and the person under the seat of Yuanshi Tianzun Taiyi (B) Yujun.Yuanshi is greater than Taiyi, and Taiyi is Shangtang, so how could the cultural origin of Yuanshi be a minister of Taiyi?This starts with Yuan Sheng Yi Yin.Yi Yin, a descendant of Emperor Shun ("Shiben": Yi Shi, the Yin of Emperor Yao Yiqi's family, and later Yi Yin was named Zhi, Xiang Tang.), so Xia Chen ("Zou Zi", "Shuo Yuan", "Han Shi Wai Zhuan") ": Yiyin is also the concubine of the Xin family. There is the Xin family, so Xia descended. For detailed notes, see my book "Competing with the Sky and Watching Female Pills."), this is an official title (Master of Eden, Master of Yichuan) .Yi Yin was not only the number one hero in Shang Dynasty's extermination of Xia, but also the number one minister in power in the early Shang Dynasty.Therefore, it is really difficult to distinguish between Yi Yin and Shang Jun who is the king and who is the minister.Looking back at history, the Yiyin (Yi clan) clan rose much earlier than the Shang tribe.Eden, Funiu is the true ancestral home of Taoism.

In the Song Dynasty, the Taoist god system underwent another major revision.Perhaps it was because the Yuanshi Taishang dispute restricted the development of Taoism, or perhaps it was the Song Emperor's belief in returning to the native religion out of the need to consolidate the imperial power.In this reform, Taishang Laojun and Haotian God were officially separated from the godhead.The Haotian God is the Jade Emperor, the Haotian Xuanqiong Jade Emperor God, as the supreme god of Taoism, surpassing the Sanqing.The heavenly world formally learned the system of the human world, and there is a class of court meeting immortals.The Emperor of Heaven has no clan, which was conferred by Emperor Song.In "True Spirit Position and Industry Map", Yuhuangdaojun is only the first god under Yuanshi Tianzun's seat, and his seat is slightly higher than Taiyi Yujun.There is also Zuo Sheng Zichen Taiwei Heavenly Emperor and Daojun, who is the second-highest second-level god under the seat of the second-middle main god, the Lord of Myriad Ways.These two gods should be the predecessors of the Song version of the Jade Emperor.

Many people think that Taoist gods are complicated and chaotic, but it is not.First of all, they all came from the sages of China. Because the gods have personalities, they lack mystery.Secondly, the history of Chinese writing is too long, and it has recorded in detail several revisions of the Taoist god system since its inception.This feeling is more similar to Hinduism, where a million gods cannot be distinguished.Unlike Buddhism, where the Buddha dominates, the three religions and one god of the West dominate, and the gods are particularly clear.Since this work is a novel and not a dissertation, I will not touch on more in-depth and sensitive topics, as long as it can help everyone understand.
