Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism - #207 - Chapter 207
“Lord Chang’an of the State of Qin?”
When they heard the sign-up number, the old Taoists of Tianzong all looked at each other.
They never expected that Lord Chang’an of the Qin State, who was at the height of his power and was known to everyone in the world, would actually come to their heaven. Zong
“Why did Lord Chang’an come to Tianzong?”
One of the Tianzong elders asked bluntly.
Several other elders shook their heads silently, and they were also confused about this.
You want to say that you are visiting as a neighbor. The Lord of Chang’an has been in Chang’an for more than 20 years. This Lord Chang’an should have come a long time ago.
In the past, Lord Chang’an might not have been able to come to Tianzong due to other reasons, but at this time he was already one of the most powerful people in the world.
He would not have come to Heaven a long time ago. It’s simply inexplicable that Zong Yan didn’t come to Tianzong, but he came at this time.
“The Yin Yang family, the public loser family, the famous family, etc. all joined the Qin State, and the sect of our Tianzong has always been in the Qin State, just on the edge of Xianyang”
“Could it be that Lord Chang’an came here to want me, Tianzong, to join the Qin Kingdom?”
An elder expressed his guess.
Chi Songzi shook his head and said:”Our Tianzong has always ignored foreign things and ignored common things. If Lord Chang’an really came here for this, then I will wait for you. Rejection is.”
It’s just that Chi Songzi said it lightly, but many Tianzong elders didn’t dare to say anything.
If he rejects Chang’an Lord, will Chang’an Lord become angry? If he becomes angry, will he send a large army to attack Tianzong?
Even if they Tianzong No matter how powerful he is, can he still be compared to Qin’s 10,000 elite soldiers of the Qin army?
If Tianzong really had this strength, then Tianzong would have been wiped out by Qin long ago. This is called the crime of cherishing a jade. No matter how strong the hundreds of families are, they will not be able to do it in front of them. Against a huge empire, they are all weak and vulnerable, even the Taoist Tianzong, which is the head of hundreds of schools.
The entire Tianzong has about dozens of disciples, plus their elders and the current head. , there are less than a hundred people.
Even if Uncle Beimingzi takes action, it is estimated that he will not be able to catch it under the military formation, not to mention that the Qin State has no shortage of masters.
Let’s not mention those old eunuchs who have lived in the deep palace for a long time. They, the group of snare killers and the masters of the Yin-Yang family, are enough to make Tianzong drink a pot.
Especially Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin-yang family, if he heard that Qin State destroyed Tianzong, he would probably leave the Yin-yang family. Sect, come and help.
Besides, Uncle Beimingzi is so old, how can he trouble the old man.
Just when these Tianzong elders were worried, and when the current leader Chi Songzi was also uneasy, suddenly, An old and lanky ethereal voice came:
“If the Qin State wants my Tianzong to join, then just follow the time and join the Qin State.”
The sudden sound shocked Chi Songzi and the elders.
They turned around and saw an old man with an immortal spirit sitting in front of a stone table at some point. He was making tea with a pot of water.
Seeing the old man, Chi Songzi and the Tianzong elders were all surprised, and quickly stood up and worshiped:”Uncle Master!”
“Uncle Master, why are you out of seclusion? Could it be that the arrival of Lord Chang’an disturbed your seclusion.”
Chisongzi and many elders exchanged greetings.
Although Chisongzi was over seventy years old and several elders were over 60 years old, they were definitely the older generation in this era.
But in front of them, That is the real old man, a man who is over a hundred years old, has witnessed the rise and fall of the country, and was even taught by Zhuangzi, the most senior person in Tianzong – Bei Mingzi! It can even be said that in this world, Zhongbei Mingzi is also the person with the highest seniority. Even Xunzi or Donghuang Taiyi are just juniors in front of him.
I have to say that Taoists are really good at maintaining health. Other schools and sects rarely see people who are still energetic at this age. Masters, only Taoists, when they reach this age, in addition to the decline in physical functions, their martial arts become more and more advanced.
“Old man, I just had a whim today. I thought something important was happening, so I came out to take a look.”
Bei Mingzi said in a leisurely tone.
Although he is very senior, he is not serious. In the eyes of others, he is like a kind grandfather.
Compared with Bei Mingzi, Chisongzi is a person with a more rigorous personality. , he cupped his hands and said:”Uncle Master, our Taoist Tianzong has always been aloof from things and is not allowed to get involved in worldly affairs.”
“If Qin really comes to ask us to join Qin, it is not to get involved in the world of mortals.
Bei Mingzi said with a smile:”What kind of mountain is the mountain we are in now?”
Chisongzi was puzzled and replied:”Taiyi Mountain”
“Where is Taiyi Mountain?”
“south of Xianyang”
“Which country does Taiyi Mountain belong to?”
“Qin State”
“Since Taiyi Mountain is located in the Qin State, and we are now standing on the land of the Qin State, do you think we are still aloof from the world, are we just in the world?”
Bei Mingzi’s questions left Chi Songzi speechless, but he still felt that this was inconsistent with Tianzong’s way of practice.
Just when Chi Songzi was about to say something, Bei Mingzi said lightly :”You just heard about the arrival of Lord Chang’an, and you all became frightened and uneasy. It has been difficult to calm down for a long time.”
“Then let me ask you, can you still be aloof?”
Bei Mingzi’s words made Chi Songzi and many elders fall silent.
“You, in fact, you have already built the wrong road and found the wrong path.”
“My Taoist ancestor, Lao Dan, never said in his writings that people should be detached from things and ignore worldly affairs. He even had many ideas on governing the country to teach you how to behave in the world.”
“You are all led astray by Master Zhuang Zhou. I am not blaming Master Zhuang Zhou. It’s just that Master Zhuang’s understanding of Tao has taken a different path. You only learned his behavior but not his essence. You are all still complacent.”
“Alas, if this continues, I, the Taoist, will one day go astray and stray into other ways.”
Bei Mingzi sighed.
Unlike others, as a contemporary of Zhuang Zhou, the Tao that Bei Mingzi practiced was an older Tao, a Taoist who lived 160 years before Zhuang Zhou.
But Zhuang Zhou was really too old. Awesome, Laozi and Zhuangzi have become the same noun.
And Laozi was a figure from hundreds of years ago. He is too far away from today’s Taoists, so they will naturally learn from the closer Zhuangzi.
But Zhuangzi doesn’t like to do it. Officials like to be close to nature and detached from the outside world. This is just his external manifestation, but Zhuangzi’s thoughts are completely different from this.
Don’t think Zhuangzi ignores common things, but he understands common things better than anyone else. That Yifan is right How many people of the emperor, princes and common people can make such astonishing remarks as he does.
But the Taoist disciples have not seen through this at all. They all imitate Zhuangzi’s detachment, but not his understanding of worldly matters. (Watch it so cool.) For novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Even Taoism is divided into two sects: heaven and man. Beimingzi always sighs when he sees this. He can’t blame Zhuang Zhou. This has nothing to do with Zhuang Zhou. It can only be said to be the understanding of future generations. Too bad, everyone has taken the wrong path.
However, Chisongzi and many elders did not fully listen to Bei Mingzi’s words.
They have been walking this path all their lives, and you have made them reach this age. If you change the path again, it will kill you.
Seeing this scene, Bei Mingzi was very disappointed. He felt that he needed to turn Taoism in the right direction, and then he should train a new disciple.
But How can it be so easy to find a disciple that he likes?
Especially since he is old and doesn’t know how long he can live..
