Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 478 Cloud Tour

  Long Beishan, petal peach blossoms, gurgling streams, moistening the mountains.

  When Fei Qian and Jia Qu were expressing feelings, suddenly the guards at the foot of the mountain came to report that they had captured two Taoist priests, claiming that they were both "orthodox Taoist priests" and wandering here...

  Is it a priest?

   Fei Qian and Jia Qu glanced at each other. Since they are wandering Taoist priests, why did they go forward when they saw that there were already soldiers on this mountain?

  You must know that Taoism’s cloak is not a golden ticket to avoid death, and you will still die if you stab it with a knife.

  And now, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty promoted Confucianism, Taoism has gradually declined, and there is no advantage of body distinction...

Having said that, the reason why Taoism was finally put down by Confucianism was not because of how bad Taoism’s morality was, but because it was doomed from the very beginning. After the country’s harsh political laws, there was indeed room for development. After all, it was what the whole society wanted at that time. However, with the development of society, after the Han Dynasty passed through that period of depression, some manpower and The increase in material resources, if we emphasize inaction at this time, it will inevitably be idealized...

Fei Qian and Jia Qu turned around and walked down. When they reached the ruined Taoist temple on the mountainside, they saw two Taoist disciples who claimed to be "the first disciples". What's the fuss...

One is tall and thin, and looks older, about forty or fifty years old, with a gray beard and a Taoist crown on his head, he looks like a fairy; the other is shorter, only about one year old They are about six meters in height, but not fat, with short beards, they seem to be younger; they are all wearing long robes made of black silk cloth, and when the mountain wind blows, they seem to be a bit swaying.

"I've seen two real people. I don't know where they came from. Where do you want to go?" Fei Qian looked at it, cupped his hands and said, a strange thought suddenly popped up in his heart. Lai Lai wants to go to the west, should he immediately ask someone to kill these two people, and don't give them a chance to call them senior brothers or Wukong?

   Fortunately, no.

  Chang Gao Laodao said: "Xiao Daoren Jizi, who came from the middle of Sichuan and traveled all over the world, is really lucky to meet a nobleman here."

  The shorter Taoist also folded his arms and saluted: "Little Daodeyuan, come here with the master."

  Fei Qian heard this, and was a little surprised. He came from Sichuan. These days, there are no iron lumps flying in the sky, and there are no iron centipedes scurrying on the ground. He walks all the way on two legs, which is really remarkable.

Moreover, according to the Taoist name, one of these two people is of the benevolent generation and the other is of the moral generation. or the real word...

   "Since you are traveling in the clouds, why do you come here?" Fei Qian asked.

  Ren Jizi sighed slightly, looked sideways at the wreckages of the Taoist temple, and said, "This place used to be a temple, and the trail came here 20 years ago...Unexpectedly, the vicissitudes of life have changed..."

I see.

Since he is a person from outside Fang, travels around the world, and is the authentic heir of Taoism at this stage, Fei Qian also has some interest, asks people to fetch water, and then uses peach blossom petals as tea, clearing up the concept of Taoism. On a piece of land in front of them, the four of them sat cross-legged and talked.

Changgao Laodao, the lay name is Ge Yi, style name Boji, from Jurong, Danyang, entered Sichuan 20 years ago, practiced Taoism in Longhu Mountain for three years, now because of his old age, he feels homesick, so he is planning to travel all the way back to his hometown …

A young short Taoist priest named Yunyi and Zhiyuan, a native of Yunguo, fell down alone at the foot of Longhu Mountain for unknown reasons four years ago. He was seriously injured and dying. He was rescued by Ge Yi, but his memory was lost. To prove his identity, he followed Ge Yi back to his hometown this time, and he also wanted to find his own memory...

   Fei Qian squinted his eyes slightly, on the surface he was calm, but his heart jumped away.

  This Ge Yi is fine, he must be a member of the Jiangnan Taoist Ge family, but this Yun family...

  Look at the situation he's talking about...

   Isn't it the usual way of playing for a proper time traveler?

  If there are any laws and regulations that stipulate that all amnesiacs should be killed, then it is estimated that nine out of ten of the time-travelers...

   However, it is not possible.

  Fei Qian thought for a while silently, but still gave up the idea of ​​eradicating unknown hidden dangers.

After all, although Taoism is declining now, there are still many people among the people who are willing to believe in Taoism. Just like Zhang Jiao some time ago, he also carried out riots in the name of Taoism, without any reason, without resentment or hatred Killer, this is not a good name after all.

  Wrong killing never let go, somewhat unsuitable for Fei Qian himself, so Fei Qian let go of his murderous intentions and chatted with the two Taoist priests.

   Unexpectedly, Ge Yi has some views on Taoism.

Ge Yi said: "Taoist inaction, also known as inaction, seems to be two in one. Adopting the goodness of Confucianism and Mohism, summarizing names and the essence of law, changing with the times, responding to changes in things, and doing things according to customs, everything is inappropriate. Nothing. Forming momentum, impermanent form, so it can study the feelings of all things. It is not the first of things, not the last of things, so it can be the master of all things..."

  According to Ge Yi, Taoism at this time in the Han Dynasty is actually a master who adopted a part of the thoughts of Confucianism and Mohism from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, plus a part of the content of famous schools and Legalists!

   Is there really such a cow?

Taoism talks about filial piety and righteousness and benevolence, which is no different from Confucianism, and the relationship between heaven and man, and the unity of heaven and man are also mentioned in many Taoist classics. For example, in the "Taiping Jing", not only the unity of heaven and man There is even an ethical system of "Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Father, Teacher"...

   Fei Qian was a little dazed when he said that, and he always thought that these contents were first proposed by Dong Zhongshu...

  So, Dong Zhongshu’s theory of interaction between heaven and man is based on Taoism?

   Also, isn’t the “Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Father, and Teacher” the secular ethical norms of “Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Parent, and Teacher” that were later extolled by Confucianism?

  Listening to Ge Yi's narration, Fei Qian had more and more questions in his head. In this Han Dynasty, how did Confucianism gain its status, or the foundation of Confucianism in later generations?

  What is the state of Taoism, Legalism, even Mohism, famous schools, and these sects now?

   During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when a hundred flowers were in full bloom and a hundred schools of thought contended, could it be that the decline disappeared after only one Qin Dynasty?

  Fei Qian's heart is like water being continuously heated, more and more doubts are like bubbles popping up from the depths of his heart little by little...

   The marinated eggs I bought yesterday were forcibly dragged to an unknown abyss by an uninvited guest during the dark night and high winds...

   Still thinking about having breakfast today...

   Damn why the mousetrap doesn't work at all...

   Are the mice here in Guangxi so smart?

   Last time it was the centipede, this time it was the mouse...
