Chapter 233 The Taoist Way

Zhang Xianyong's apprentice hurriedly ran in from outside and shouted, "It's a big deal, the court has immigrated for tens of millions of taels of silver for disaster relief..."

Zhang Xianyong taught his apprentice a lesson: "What's the matter? It's so panicked and unconventional."

Zhang Qingfeng said anxiously: "Master, it's really a big deal! Just now, there were rumors everywhere on the street. Your Majesty allocated tens of millions of taels of silver to provide relief to the victims. Do you want to relocate millions of disaster victims to the south of the Yangtze River?" Zhang Qingfeng felt that this was really a big deal. He had never seen the court so generous, tens of millions of silver! It must be piled up into a mountain.

"Emperorable Life Blessing, Your Majesty is so courageous!"

"The blessing of infinite life, the creatures in the world are blessed."

"Immortal life blessings, this move has infinite merits!"

"Extreme life blessing,..."

The few people at the Jietai praised it one after another. This incident was really too shocking. It was really unimaginable that the imperial court had such generous disaster relief, and I didn’t know how the emperor got so much money.

Qiu Quanyue looked confused and incredible, and said, "Qingfeng, are you right? It's only May now, and it's still more than a month to harvest food. If you have to lose harvest, it will take at least one or two months to go? The court is really starting to provide disaster relief now?"

In Qiu Quanyue's impression, it was quite rare for the imperial court to take some money to provide disaster relief in one or two months after the famine. Now even the food has not grown in the field, so let's go to rescue disasters? What if the dealer in this field is born? Isn't this a joke? Isn't it a big deal? Isn't it a 10 million taels of silver? I don't know where to pick it out.

"Uncle Qiu, Qingfeng's words are absolutely reliable. It is said that His Majesty sent the imperial teacher, Grand Secretary Xu Guangqi and Xu Ge as the imperial envoy. Two deputy envoys, one was the Minister of Works and the Governor of the Rivers, and the other was the top scholar of the year, Zhou Yanru, the Minister of Rites. These three were all amazing people." Zhang Qingfeng said confidently.

"Impossible, what's going on with that immigration? How could there be millions of immigrants? Where did the immigrants move? How could there be so many land in Jiangnan to accommodate millions of immigrants? This is impossible..." Qiu Quanyue didn't believe that the emperor would be so generous, far beyond his impression of the emperor.

"Uncle Qiu, this is absolutely true. Qingfeng heard that Your Majesty wants to move all the victims from Shaanxi, Henan and other places to Dongting Lake in the south. Where can I go to build fields around the lake? Hehe, from the bitter and cold land in the north, I moved to the fish and rice town of Jiangnan. This time, those Shaanxi people and Henan people are blessed..." Zhang Qingfeng felt very envious of those people. This time, these people really enjoyed their happiness. Moving from the bitter and haggard place in Shaanxi to the fish and rice town of Jiangnan, how cheap it is!

"Impossible, impossible! A million people climbed mountains and waded thousands of miles, but had no harvest in a year or two. What should I eat? How to transport it over? How many people would die along the way? This is unlikely..." Qiu Quanyue did not believe that the emperor would do such good things. Suspicion was his first impression.

"Hehe...Master Qiu, it's true. This is absolutely reliable. It's not what you think you've walked over. It is said that the ship transported grain from the south. When he came back, he took the victims back and transported them to Dongting Lake. There were multiple kills. I heard that the court's disaster relief this time was different from the past. In order to save food, this disaster relief only established relief points along the river. If you want to survive and want to eat, it doesn't matter where the road is. Just walk down the river.

You will definitely find a relief point. Humph, Your Majesty is such a genius! A genius! In this way, you are not afraid of the people not moving! You have saved countless food! Those who came up with this idea are really talented!" Zhang Qingfeng was also shocked by the news he heard from the street. Until now, he is still immersed in this super powerful shock. There are many people who are even more vigorous than him on the street, and some are talking to the bubbles.

"Impossible, impossible!... It's absolutely impossible!..." Qiu Quanyue didn't believe this at all, nor did she understand the reason. However, Zhang Qingfeng was now saying so confidently and said so detailed that Qiu Quanyue had nothing to refute.

Ma Tong was smarter. As early as Zhang Qingfeng's first shout, he had already come to his senses. He thought about something in his heart. When he heard the conversation between his junior brother and Zhang Qingfeng, he even understood something. Seeing his junior brother looking disbelief, he spoke, "Junior brother, don't you understand yet?"

Qiu Quanyue was confused. Why did the imperial court have such a big show? Did the imperial court and the emperor get drunk or have cramps? When he heard his senior brother help him, he asked in confusion: "Senior brother, why is this? I think it's really strange. There is something evil in it."

"Why... People who practice Taoism, don't you understand what evil or not? Have you heard of the gods and people in your dreams?" Ma Tong had already figured out the key to the problem when Zhang Qingfeng shouted. Now, he came to help his junior brother again.

"...The god... Oh... I understand, I understand, the senior brother is saying that the god in Your Majesty's dream is really there? Really?" Qiu Quanyue was awakened by his senior brother Ma Tong, and immediately understood the whole story of this matter, including why Zhang Xianyong, the chief teacher, came to them today, and what he said about finding the way. He immediately became excited.

"Haha... It's good if my junior brother understands it. It's only mid-May now. It's logical that disaster relief is impossible. Since Your Majesty and the court are so generous to use tens of millions of taels of silver to provide disaster relief, they even sent a cabinet minister to take charge. What does this mean? It shows that what the gods said in His Majesty's dream is true. In Shaanxi, the natural disaster has really come. I believe the court has received comments from various places about the signs of natural disasters coming. Therefore, it will be more than a month in advance for disaster relief. This imperial edict was sent to the south to prepare food and then transported to Shaanxi and Henan in the north. It's just one month. At this time, it's just right. I can only say that Your Majesty is talented and has guidance from experts, or if there is guidance from gods, will the junior brother understand?" Ma Tong explained with a smile.

"Haha, I am not as good as my senior brother, and I am still very good at it. Hehe..." Qiu Quanyue understood that the court could provide disaster relief so resolutely in advance, and the scale was so large and unprecedented, which only means that they had obtained the correct news, which indirectly proved that the god in the emperor's dream did exist. Otherwise, without the correct news, the court would never have made such a big move. Those who spent tens of millions of silver to provide disaster relief must have been the god in the dream who had some guidance. The emperor and the court followed the guidance of the god in the gods. It must be like this, it must be like this! Thinking of this, Qiu Quanyue's heart was excited...

The other people on the Jietai were smarter than Qiu Quanyue. After thinking for a moment, they understood. After listening to Ma Tong's words to enlighten Qiu Quanyue, they even more understood. The light in their eyes flashed and their expressions were so excited that they could not express their excitement. The abnormality of disaster relief proved that one thing was true, that is, the gods and man did exist. Otherwise, even if the emperor wanted to launch such a super-scale disaster relief, the court officials would never agree. That could only be that the ministers believed in the existence of the gods and man.

Since Gods and man exist, then, hehe, Your Majesty wants to teach the great way of heaven through our Taoism. What is that concept? Wouldn't that mean that seeking the Tao is hopeful? Practicing the Tao is hopeful? How can this not make everyone excited?

Zhang Xianyong was even more arrogant, as if he had gained a master. His disciple did a good thing for him this time. In a few words, he completely suppressed these leaders of the Quanzhen Sect. This kind of thing had never happened before. In the past, everyone had to put him in the identity of a first-class Zhengyi Zhenren, who was a Qinpeng court, and they had to put him in his eyes. However, what appeared in their eyes was a "pure" respectful gaze. Zhang Xianyong had only seen this gaze in his own disciples.

Zhang Xianyong sat proudly on the verdict platform.

The people from Quanzhen Sect were embarrassed and wanted others, but they didn't know how to speak. Ma Tong thought about it and felt that this was not a matter. For this matter, Quanzhen Sect had to seize the opportunity. Just be shorter than others. He could only have the opportunity to seek the truth. It didn't matter if he was shorter. So he winked at Qiu Quanyue.

Qiu Quanyue also looked at Zhang Xianyong with his eyes shining, hoping that Zhang Xianyong could give him advice and say something "Tao", so that he would benefit endlessly. However, the head teacher Zhang Xianyong sat there like a "sacred fetus", without any intention of speaking, and was very anxious. Suddenly, he found that his senior brother Ma Tong was winking at him hard, and suddenly understood. I am afraid that he would have to speak by himself.

"Senior Brother, I offended him so much just now, so please forgive me. Since the senior brother is preaching for His Majesty, let me say more and let me feel it." Qiu Quanyue is not a fool. He has to bow his head when he knows it is time to bow his head. In this matter, his senior brother Zhang Xianyong, obviously, is not overwhelming him. Just a general leader in Taoism is much better than them. The preaching of this god made them grandchildren even more grandchildren. However, grandchildren are grandchildren, and what is more important than the great way?

"Yes! Senior brother, don't make things difficult for me. We are very eager to seek the Tao!" Several other people immediately followed up when they saw someone taking the lead in admitting their mistakes.

Zhang Xianyong was very satisfied. He had never enjoyed the respect from the bottom of his heart like today. He was proud of himself and knew that the emperor had to do something, so he cleared his throat and said, "Since you guys said that, then I, as the head teacher, would like to talk about the 'Tao' I learned from His Majesty."

"I'll ask the head teacher to preach." The people of Quanzhen Sect immediately shouted.

"Well... Speaking of the understanding of 'Tao', since I left Your Majesty last time, I have been thinking about it day and night, thinking about it all day long. Today, I finally understood it a little, and I have figured out some things, said it out, and discussed with my junior brothers." Zhang Xianyong sorted out his expression. Speaking of this "Tao", Zhang Xianyong really figured out a lot of things and felt that he was very rewarding.

"Please give me advice," said several people from Quanzhen Sect again.

This time, Zhang Xianyong did not show off and said directly: "Junior Brother Qiu just now can also ignite paper with the magnifying glass given by His Majesty. Have you considered this question?"

"I'll ask the head teacher to give me advice." Several people said in one voice. This time, their expressions were very solemn. This was a serious preaching, not a comparison or show off.

"The great way is ruthless and comes to the public, and all living beings are equal and not in love..." Zhang Xianyong said casually.

"...For the Tao, Tao always exists, and will never have any special love for anyone, so there will be no contempt for anyone. In the face of Tao, all living beings are equal! Therefore, I can light paper with a magnifying glass, and Junior Brother Qiu can do it. Anyone who holds this magnifying glass can light paper. This is what I want to say, "The great way is ruthless and comes to the public, and all living beings are equal and not love for it." Zhang Xianyong explained.

"Master, what's the solution?"

"I don't understand this yet? Since the Dao is ruthless and all living beings are equal, you and I want to rely on cultivation to achieve immortality. Do you think it is possible? God will be extra kind to you alone? Do you think the Dao will be particularly favorable to you? Then, try it, can you light the paper without using this magnifying glass?" Zhang Xianyong said this, his eyes were very strict, and he kept turning his attention to the pieces of paper still basking in the sun.

The Quanzhen Sect was silent. What a joke? If you don’t do anything, you can ignite the paper out of thin air. Do you think you are really a god?

"What, can't you?" Zhang Xianyong looked around and asked.

"..." No one answered, and they shook their heads. If they had this ability, they wouldn't listen to your arguments here.

"... Although the great way is ruthless, it is the ruthless and most affectionate and righteousness of the great way. Everyone can get the "Tao", which is very fair..." Zhang Xianyong said, closing his eyes.

"Master, how do you explain this sentence?"

"Although the great way is ruthless, it has closed the shortcut for us to cultivate immortality and achieve enlightenment, it is the ruthless way of the great way that has become sentient beings, and we can master the laws of "Tao" and know the mystery of the mystery. This means that you and I can obtain "Tao", and everyone can obtain "Tao". The "Tao" of you and me, and the "Tao" of all sentient beings, are the same "Tao"..." Zhang Xianyong closed his eyes and explained with a solemn expression.

The verbal platform is very quiet, and everyone is thinking about this sentence in their minds.

Among the people, Ma Tong was a passion for having a deeper understanding of "Tao". After thinking for a moment, he had his own understanding and asked: "What the head teacher means is that the existence of "Tao" always exists and is consistent, and is the same for everyone. It does not become different because of different people. The "Tao" you and I are exploring now is to seek "Tao" for ourselves, and also to seek "Tao" for all living beings? Once we understand the mystery and method of "Tao", all living beings in the world understand "Tao"? I don't know what I understand correctly?"

"...Junior Brother Ma is indeed a transparent person. It is obvious at one point that this is true. From this magnifying glass, Your Majesty has the Tao and gives it to me. I can also control this 'Tao', and everyone can use this 'Tao'. Therefore, the existence of 'Tao' has always existed and always exists. Once we know the mystery or method of 'Tao', we can master and use it, and all living beings in the world can use it. Therefore, the 'Tao' we are exploring and the 'Tao' we are pursuing is actually not just seeking 'Tao' for ourselves, but the 'Tao' common to all people in the world..." Zhang Xianyong explained with his best efforts.

Tan Yansong didn't speak. After listening to Zhang Xianyong talk for a long time, he seemed to understand something and said sadly: "That means, it is absolutely impossible for us to succeed in cultivating immortals? The great way is ruthless, how can we open a back door for me? The road to cultivating immortals is a mistake in itself, and it is a dead end in itself?"

This question is the core issue of Taoism. If you cannot achieve success in practicing immortality, what about Taoism’s goal? Scam some money, confuse people in the world, and eat and wait for death?

This question hit the deadlock in everyone's heart. Everyone was excited just now, but now they are becoming dead silent and very depressed. The faith that they have been pursuing for their whole life has collapsed, and the pillar in their spirit has collapsed.

"Haha..." Zhang Xianyong shouted loudly and woke everyone up. He had experienced this experience alone for a long time until he had just gotten rid of this predicament. Naturally, he had experience. Seeing that everyone in this circle was frustrated, he knew where the problem was.

"Why, seeing that there is no hope of cultivating immortals, I am not ready to be a Taoist priest?" Zhang Xianyong blamed.

Everyone has nothing to say to live.

"When practicing the Tao, we are practicing the Tao of sentient beings. We are also one of the sentient beings. When sentient beings can use various methods of the Tao to achieve various supernatural powers and accomplish various incredible things in the future, I think that at that time, we are also one of the many sentient beings, and naturally we can have these supernatural powers. Isn't this better than never hopelessness in cultivating immortals?" After that pain, Zhang Xianyong decided to relieve and comfort his junior brothers.

Tan Yansong said with a bitter face: "Master, then when will this have to be gone? Wouldn't it be hopeless for the rest of his life?"

"Ha... stupid..." Zhang Xianyong was about to scold him.

Qiu Quanyue's mind was not so complicated, but he woke up first and interrupted with a smile: "Senior Brother, I'll answer this question."

Zhang Xianyong looked at Qiu Quanyue who was smiling. Do this guy understand? This guy is a sloppy young man, and he will understand?

"You? Can you answer?" Zhang Xianyong was obviously not convinced by Qiu Quanyue.

"Hehe, I'll answer this question, senior brother, I'd better answer it. If you don't answer it well, I'll teach you another lesson." Qiu Quanyue said with a smile.

"...Then you just talk about it." Zhang Xianyong was about to see what this guy understood.

"Hehe, thank you, Master,... In fact, this question, isn't there a great opportunity now? Where is Your Majesty? Isn't there a god? Why is Senior Brother Tan still worried about hopelessness? Isn't it just immortality, and has some magical abilities? Now, you haven't just experienced it. You can ignite the magical power of paper without using fire? Isn't this magical? Isn't it magical?... Hehe, I think that as long as we follow Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely have countless

The mysterious method flowed out to me, and through my hand, many great methods were announced to the public. Hehe, the master teacher said right, the "Tao" of the masses is the "Tao" we wait for. At that time, I am afraid that even if we fly to the sky, move mountains and seas, pick stars in the sky, and catch turtles and dragons!..." Qiu Quanyue's mind was much simpler, and he was not that complicated to think about the problem. He was only thinking about the emperor's god, so he was more open-minded about this problem.

Huh?...

Huh??...

Everyone looked at Junior Brother Qiu, who was usually not very smart, with a little surprised look. When did Junior Brother Qiu's mind work so well, and he actually said such profound words.

"Junior Brother Qiu is so spiritual, I am confused. Thanks to my junior brother's wake-up." This is the first time Tan Yansong said such words to his junior brother.

"No thanks, no thanks!" Qiu Quanyue was very embarrassed. This treatment was really rare.

"Okay, since you understand, I will talk about my plan. I plan to convene all Taoist sects in the world in the name of my true person, gather in the capital, hold a general meeting of Taoism, discuss the future of Taoism, and walk the path of seeking Taoism together, and fully assist Your Majesty the Emperor to revitalize my Ming Dynasty. With the great emperor's grace, I will promote my Taoism to become famous all over the world, and the people in the world remember my Taoism..."
