Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 676

"A mysterious and mysterious thing like the Baijia Lotus Tube cannot be explained by materialism. Maybe in the heart of the Baijia Lotus Tube, I will give a stupid materialist minus one for insisting on using it to transform reality. A thousand-point evaluation, and that copper plate is also mysterious and abnormal. It is entirely possible that these two mysterious things come together to cause some kind of change. Perhaps from the Taoist Priest’s mysterious theory In the middle, what clues can I find?"

Here, Chen Zhi was thinking about it, and over there Ge Hong was also elaborating on his own theory.

"Xuan is the ancestor of nature and the great sect of all things. Xuan is not cold and heartless. He also has his own will. It is the great way. The only way of Xuan can be with us forever. Therefore, if you want to seek immortals, you should be loyal, filial, and loyal. Harmony, benevolence and trust are the foundation. If you do not practice virtue and only practice magic, you will not live forever."

Ge Hong's words made his opinions very clear, and then he talked about many opinions eloquently, but they were not the genealogy of immortals, but the principles and roots of practicing and seeking immortality.

Chen Zhi listened and couldn't help but nod. He understood the truth behind it and also understood why Bao Jingyan and Ge Hong were in tit-for-tat confrontation.

"Ge Hong's thinking is actually very clear. He knows that metaphysics is very popular in today's world, so he intends to use metaphysics to promote the study of immortals, which is tantamount to repackaging the theory of Yin and Yang Alchemists. But he also knows that metaphysics is, after all, Born out of classics, it is impossible to directly demonstrate the way of gods, so it must be modified and assisted with many projects to prove one's own thoughts. This is a retreat writing."

"Especially the last theory of loyalty, filial piety, harmony and benevolence reflects his ambition. You must know that although this Taoism inherits the theory of Yin and Yang alchemists, it can be regarded as a mixture of Yin and Yang, but its spiritual essence is more recognized and inclined to Taoism, this is like the relationship between law and art. The various ways of doing things in Taoism are its art, which is close to the Yin Yang School, but the law it pursues is the Great Dao, which is the spiritual framework and the source of their scholarship."

"Taoist Lao Tzu once said that there is good in the world because there is bad. It is a contrast and opposite. Therefore, good or bad has no meaning. Being bad is not despicable, and good is not necessarily worthy of boasting. Among all the disciples, Taoism does not always talk about goodness, but Confucianism is the one who has done a lot of research on goodness. There are even Mencius and Xun's theories of good nature and evil nature, which have derived factions. After Emperor Wu dismissed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, it has become Throughout history, even if hundreds of schools of thought are revived today, the core of Confucian classics and principles is still in the hearts of scholars."

"Ge Hong's emphasis on loyalty, filial piety, gentleness, and benevolence is actually to gain appeal among the scholar-bureaucrats so that they will not be rejected. At the same time, it is also to let the Taoist gods have vitality, because the accumulation of good deeds is the mainstream of social morality. , anytime you move closer to the mainstream, you don’t have to worry about no one recognizing you.”

"This Master Ge Xiaoxian's thinking is very clear. If it is placed in the modern age of later generations, it may be enough to be called the patriarch of Taoism and become the leader of a party. Of course, in the future world materialism will run rampant, and spiritual civilization must conform to the basic... that law of physics, even if the leader Ge If it succeeds, it can only produce theoretical work, otherwise it will be suppressed."

This was not Chen Zhi's wild imagination, because after introducing the spiritual core of his own immortal theory, Taoist Ge began to talk about what he had been doing.

Perhaps people in later generations will only remember Ge Hong's "Baopuzi", a book he named after his Taoist name, some elixir recipes and chemical achievements, but for Ge Hong, he values ​​​​the most. Of course, it is undoubtedly the part that talks about the way of gods and describes the crystallization of his own thoughts.

At this moment, as the topic deepened, some of Ge Hong's recent achievements were gradually touched upon.

"The so-called good deeds are also practices. A very small level can last a long time. Poor Taoists call it accumulating good deeds. When observing the immortals in the world, there should be seats. There are five immortals. The difference lies in the amount of good deeds. For example, for earthly immortals, only three hundred good deeds are enough, while for heavenly immortals, it takes twelve hundred good deeds..."

Listening to this, although he knew in his heart that Ge Hong's theory of good deeds was actually moving closer to the mainstream of society, in order to help the theory of gods integrate into the general public, it still made him feel like he was on a different channel, like Jumping from the historical plane to the world of immortals.As he watched Ge Hong talk more and more enthusiastically, he seemed to be preaching to himself.

Thinking about it, according to Chen Zhi's current status, in the eyes of the people in the capital, he might just be a defender of the frontier, and if he doesn't return to the center, his development prospects will be limited, but in terms of Taoism, Buddhism, and even the Mohist Mohists. , can occupy a piece of land, and can completely control the top and bottom, with soldiers and land, is undoubtedly a good target for spreading theories.

"Isn't it because of this that the Taoist priest came all the way here? No, the time is not right. If it is really because of this, it will only be confirmed after I win. The news has just spread now Entering Pengcheng? The priest should have just left, but everyone is here now."

After thinking about it, Chen Zhi also realized that as his base and team in the Northland stabilized, more and more people from hundreds of schools would come to him.

"That doesn't seem like a bad thing."

Thinking this way, he listened to Ge Hongzheng talking about the famous Peng Zu in Xuzhou——

"Peng Zu lived eight hundred years but failed to ascend, because he did not accumulate enough good deeds, so..."

Shaking his head secretly, Chen Zhi said: "Taoist Master, I am also interested in listening to these things, but after all, it is already late at night. You have come all the way, so you should have a good rest."

Ge Hong naturally understood such euphemistic words, he quickly stopped his voice, and then smiled and said: "The eunuch doesn't want to listen to me making noise, that's right, these things are cumbersome to say, and you need to understand them personally to know how to do them. Only by practicing it yourself can you have a clear understanding of the mysteries, and the words of outsiders are not worth mentioning."

Chen Zhi didn't defend himself and smiled without saying a word.

Ge Hong followed closely and said: "But Pindao said these things not entirely out of selfish motives. Pindao's pedigree for the gods was not just nonsense, but based on the words of "Zhouyi". "Zhouyi" The four sentences in "Classic Chinese" are the foundation, which are 'the growth of goodness', 'the gathering of good things', 'the harmony of righteousness', and 'the stem of things'. These are the roots of the four virtues and explain Yuan, Heng, and Li, Zhen, the poor Taoist views Yi, uses Yi to write books, searches for the origin of immortality, and also gains something. He knows that if he wants to achieve great success, he also needs to gather the things of Henry Zhen, and the source of Zhen should be here, in the prefect. ! Came here before!”

　I have something to do at the moment, so the number of words will be relatively small these days.
