Chapter 207 (2/2)
Chen Ren is a little depressed. He feels as if he is the guest invited, and Yu Ji is the host. However, Chen Ren sat opposite him according to what Yu Ji said, and prepared to listen to what Yu Ji was going to say.
Yu Ji watched Chen Ren sit down and said with a smile, ”I don't know what the general thinks of Taiping Road.””Taiping Road?” Chen Ren slightly bowed his head and thought. When he was in later generations, Chen Ren was very interested in the religion of this era. The religion in the Three Kingdoms period can be said to be very distinctive. There are five kinds of rice religion of Zhang Lu and Buddhism introduced by Tao Qian, but the most mysterious one is Taiping Road.
No one knows the origin of the Taiping Road. It is only known that during the reign of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, a man named Gong Chong came out to offer a copy of the book of peace and Qing Lingshu to Emperor Shun of Han Dynasty, but it was not adopted by Emperor Shun of Han Dynasty. Later, this book of ”Taiping qinglingshu” was spread to the people, known as the ”Taiping Jing”. The legend of this book fell into the hands of Zhang Jiao, a man of the moment deer. Zhang Jiao borrowed this book and founded the Taiping Road.
The next thing, as we all know, Zhang Jiao called himself ”great virtuous teacher”, founded the Taiping cult, and assigned his eight disciples to various places to spread the doctrine. Finally, he developed to hundreds of thousands of believers and launched an uprising, which was the ”yellow scarf uprising”.
Chen Ren didn't understand why Yu Ji suddenly mentioned Taiping Road. Did Yu Ji really have anything to do with Zhang Jiao? But no, when Zhang Jiao uprising, Yu Ji had already preached in Jiangdong. If Yu Ji had something to do with Zhang Jiao, why didn't Yu Ji respond to Zhang Jiao's uprising, but watched Zhang Jiao's yellow scarf uprising fail?
Yu Ji's face darkened suddenly. He seemed to think of something sad. He sighed and said, ”in fact, Zhang Jiao of the Yellow turban uprising was my junior brother!”
Suddenly hearing the news, Chen Ren immediately stood up and looked at Yu Ji with wide eyes. Yu Ji sighed again and continued: ”in fact, the whole thing should be started from the origin of Tao. Do you know the origin of Taoism
Before Chen Ren could answer, Yu Ji gave his own answer: ”we all respect Li Er as the founder of Taoism. However, what the founder created was not a sect, but an academic one. However, our descendants have turned the theory of our ancestors into a sect, which is ridiculous
”The founder created the Tao Te Ching and handed it down to later generations. After the founder Li Er, there was another ancestor who inherited the Taoist school, that is, the founder of Zhuangzhou. But, General Chen, do you know the name of the founder of Zhuangzhou? ”
Chen Ren frowned. He only remembered that Li Er was Laozi and Zhuangzi was Zhuangzi. They were the founders of Taoism, and they were called Laozhuang by later generations. However, he could not remember the name of Chuang Tzu.
With a deep smile, Yu Ji said, ”the founder of Zhuangzhou is called Nanhua. We all respect him as the real man of Nanhua.”
”Nanhua?” Chen Ren repeatedly read the Taoist name of Zhuangzi several times. He always felt that he had heard of it. Suddenly, his mind flashed. Chen Ren looked at Yu Ji in front of him with wide eyes and exclaimed, ”you mean Nanhua!”
Chen Ren finally remembered where the name Nanhua had been heard. It was said that Zhang Jiao was a scholar who had repeatedly asked for an official position. He went to the mountain to collect herbs in order to make a living. However, he met an old man in the mountain. The old man gave Zhang Jiao three Tianshu and said to him, ”this is the name of Taiping Yaoshu. If you get it, you will be rewarded with evil deeds.” Later, Zhang Jiao asked the old man about his life, and the old man called himself Nanhua old immortal!
Oh, my God! Is there a God in this world? If the old Nanhua immortal was really Chuang Tzu of the Warring States period, he would be nearly 600 years old by now! This is not what the gods are! Thinking of this, Chen Ren can't help but look at Yu Ji in front of him. It is said that all the immortals can change their skills. Is it that the present Yuji is the result of Zhuangzi's change? As soon as he remembered that he was facing an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years, and even ordered others to pour the filth of immortals all over his body, Chen Ren could not help but feel cold on his back. Chen Ren was stunned and asked, ”well, that, that old Nanhua immortal...”
Yu Ji shook his head and said with a smile: ”don't be surprised, general. Nanhua immortal has already gone. The old Nanhua immortal who taught Zhang Jiao's Taiping skills is a poor master. Our school has been handed down from the ancestor Zhuang Zhou. It has been more than 500 years since we practiced Taoism based on the Tao Te Ching by founder Li Er. This name of Nanhua is the name of the leader of our school. My master died ten years ago. I am the old immortal of this generation. ”
