Chapter 232 Primitive Taoism
As a native sect in the Central Plains, the origin of Taoism can be traced back to ancient times or even earlier. As early as more than [-] years ago, primitive humans had shown their tenacious pursuit of life. The dead companions are sprinkled with some red iron powder, which symbolizes life, in an attempt to call back the life of the dead.

In the "Shan Hai Jing", which records the lives of ancient ancestors, there are also records about the country of immortality, the people of immortality, the tree of immortality and the medicine of immortality.

During the Warring States Period, people believed that there were sacred mountains such as Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou in the East China Sea, and that "the immortals and the medicine of immortality are all there." As a result, many alchemists who pursued immortality and became immortals appeared. Fang Xiandao.

Fang Xiandao was active in the Qin and Han Dynasties and was one of the predecessors of Taoism in later generations.

The activity of Fang Xiandao led to the thought theory of Taoism in later generations, which mainly came from the philosophy of Taoism in the pre-Qin period.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Lao Zi once expounded a set of theories about the creation, existence and movement of all things in the universe, and believed that "Tao" is the root of the creation of all things in the universe and the noumenon on which it exists. The development of Taoism laid a theoretical foundation.

During the Warring States period, many people relied on the names of the Yellow Emperor and Laozi to expound the theory of health preservation and state governance, and they were called Huang Laodao.

Huang Laodao's theory is not limited to Lao Tzu's Taoism, but also "adopts the goodness of Confucianism and Mohism, and summarizes the essence of name law", absorbing the strengths of Confucianism, Mohism, name, and law; A wave of new Taoism also had a great influence in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling was known as the Taishang Laojun in Southwest Shu, who "taught the three-day righteous law and was destined to be a celestial master", and made 25 Taoist scriptures, thus establishing the celestial master way.

In the Central Plains, Zhang Jiao also founded Taiping Dao. The emergence of Tianshi Dao and Taiping Dao made Taoism begin to become a religious group with strict ideological system and organizational system.

Later, Zhang Jiao's Daoist group was suppressed by the ruler, and the remaining threads gradually merged into the Tianshi Dao. The Tianshi Dao in central Shu was forced to move out of the southwest because of being controlled by Cao Cao's army, and began to spread north and south.

As the largest Taoism in the south, Tianshi Taoism rose from the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and reached its peak during the Southern and Northern Dynasties when Tianshi Sun En was in charge of Tianshi Taoism.

Sun En was also known as the No.1 of Taoism in the South, and was recognized as the No.1 in the world at that time, and his prestige was even higher than that of the Sanren Ning Daoqi today.

Such a grand scene came to an abrupt end after Sun En shattered the void.

A large number of new schools of Taoism have emerged in Taoism, such as the Lingbao School that worships the Lingbao Sutra, the Shangqing School that worships the Shangqing Sutra, the Sanhuang School that worships the Three Emperors Sutra, and the Jindan Tao that advocates the burning of outer alchemy. The scene of Tianshidao's family dominating is no longer there.

Kou Qianzhi, a Taoist priest of the Northern Wei Dynasty, reformed the Beitianshi Taoism, and once made the Beitianshi Taoism the state religion of the Northern Dynasties.

Although the Taoism of Tianshi in the south was reformed by Lu Xiujing, the classics were lost due to the collapse of Sun En, which was quickly overshadowed by the prosperity of the Shangqing Sect and Lingbao Sect, and gradually disappeared from the world.

Through the investigation of Laojunguan, Song Xing found that the Southern Heavenly Master Taoism did not exist in the world, and there were still a small number of inheritors who remained in the world incognito.

After the Baling incident, Song Xing and his entourage did not rush back to Qingyang Mountain, but changed direction on the way, heading east along Yingshui, heading towards Xiangcheng.

Xiangcheng was still an abandoned city during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. At that time, Xiangcheng had a not-so-nice name, Bianhuangji.

In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty rebuilt the city and changed its name to Xiangcheng.

According to Song Xing's information, on Mount Yao outside Xiangcheng, there is a surviving inheritance of the Taoism of the Heavenly Master.The purpose of Song Xing's trip is to obtain the classics inherited from the Tao of Heavenly Masters, so as to break through the ninth level of Huangtian Dafa.

Yaoshan, also known as Shirenshan, is located in the eastern section of Funiu Mountain. It was named after Yao's grandson Liu Lei built a temple for worshiping his ancestors.

The "Zhongshan Jing" of "Shan Hai Jing" states that "the mountain of Dayao has many trees, pine, cypress, catalpa, and mulberry; its grass is full of bamboo; its beasts are many leopards, tigers, deer, and rabbits."

Yaoshan has peculiar peaks, numerous waterfalls, dense forests, and excellent hot springs.

Strange peaks and rocks, mountain flowers, red leaves, waterfalls, hot springs, lakes, and seas of clouds are all wonders.

Song Xing put the horses at the bottom of the mountain, and walked to the top of the mountain alone. With the appearance of Tianshi Dao now in decline, the main peak naturally couldn't reach them. Song Xing found a somewhat dilapidated Taoist temple on a remote side peak. The front of the Taoist temple On the plaque, there are three big characters of Xuanyuan Temple.

When I came to the heavy wooden door of the Taoist temple, I knocked on the smooth copper ring on the door. After a while, the door opened, and a young Taoist boy stuck his head out from behind the door, looking at Song Xing curiously.

"Good faith comes to contemplate, so why?"

Song Xing said with a smile: "Xiao Daoist, I forgot the time when I was traveling in the mountains. I want to go to the Taoist temple to ask for a glass of water and a stick of incense."

Daotong saw that Song Xing was young and dressed like a villain, so he opened the wooden door a little more and said, "Faithful believers, wait a moment. If you want to drink water, you can go to the trail to get it. There is no need to burn incense. This temple does not accept pilgrims for the time being. "

Seeing this, Song Xing stretched his hand against the wooden door lightly, and said with a smile: "Xiao Daoist, then I won't offer incense, it's cold outside, can I stand in the courtyard?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Dao Tong to speak, he pushed open the door and walked in.

"Hey, why don't you listen to persuasion?" Daotong was a little anxious and helpless when he saw Song Xing push the door in. After thinking about it, he still ordered: "Then you just stand here and don't move around. I will go and help you." Fetch water."

Song Xing said with a smile: "Thank you, the Taoist leader."

Seeing Xiaodaotong turning around and walking towards the inside of the Taoist temple, Song Xing stared at his back for a few times behind him, and saw that this little Daotong had also possessed impressive martial arts skills.

Then he stood in front of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking at the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple looks small from the outside, but when you enter the inside, you find that there is a universe inside.

The main hall is majestic and majestic, and the glazed tiles on the roof are dazzling in the sun. The main structure of the main hall is strict, and it is divided into three floors. The main hall is supported by 72 vermilion stone pillars. You can also clearly see the three-meter-high Taishang Laojun sitting in the middle of the hall.

Song Xing approached the main hall slowly, feeling that the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse. As the largest religion in the south, even if Nantian Shidao declined, the layout of this Taoist temple can still see the background of the past.

"Who are you, and why are you in the audience?"

Just as Song Xing raised his head to examine the layout of the hall carefully, a slightly surprised voice suddenly came from his ear.

Song Xing turned his head and followed the prestige, and saw a middle-aged Taoist priest in a gray Taoist robe standing beside a vermilion stone pillar, looking at him gently.

Song Xing looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest, and raised his hand to salute: "I'm sorry, Qingyang Guan Song Xing, come to visit the contemporary leader of Tianshi Tao."
