Chapter 138 Invisible Poverty Road(1/2)
Originally, Ning Chen wanted to be patient and listen to Yun Xuanzi's story to the end.
But Yun Xuanzi said that when the sun and the moon come together, there will be no end.
Ning Chen had to interrupt Yun Xuanzi.
"Senior, let's talk about how the ghost realm was formed, okay?"
Yun Xuanzi answered very happily: "I don't know!"
If he hadn't been able to defeat Yun Xuanzi, Ning Chen would have flipped the table right now.
"Then the senior came to me because he wanted to save the world and save the people?
If this is the case, seniors can just go to the emperor directly.
Anyway, Emperor Shun believes in the truth, why do you want me, senior?"
Yun Xuanzi really made Ning Chen feel that he was very unreliable.
Normally, being unreliable should be a good thing for a person who aspires to be a sycophant.
But Ning Chen wanted to be a living sycophant, not a dead sycophant.
Ning Chen would really feel like he would die easily if he cooperated with Yun Xuanzi.
Ning Chen just gave you a reasonable suggestion to Yun Xuanzi, but Yun Xuanzi was very excited after hearing what Ning Chen said:
"Chief Ning Yuan, by comparing me with those evil Taoists, are you deliberately trying to humiliate the poor Taoists?"
Yun Xuanzi was suddenly so excited that he completely confused Ning Chen.
I'm just giving you a reasonable suggestion. Why are you so excited?
"Does Emperor Shun not believe it?"
Ning Chen turned his head and glanced at Feng Wudi who was standing next to him.
Feng Wudi knew at a glance that Ning Chen didn't know about the Taoist sect's fight for immortality.
"Emperor Shun believed in the Taoist Sect of Immortality. It's different from him." Feng Wubi said to Ning Chen.
What's the difference? Could it be that he has such a short life?
Although he thought so in his heart, the third grade kept Ning Chen awake at all times.
Ning Chen cupped his hands towards Yun Xuanzi and said: "Senior, I don't know what the fight for immortality is. If I have offended you just now, please forgive me, senior."
Yun Xuanzi saw that Ning Chen really didn't know about the split of the Taoist sect. In addition, Ning Chen apologized, so Yunxuanzi also said: "Just now, the poor Taoist was too abrupt. He didn't know about the leader of Ning Yuan or our Taoist sect's fight for longevity.
"
The Taoist sect was actually divided inside, which made Ning Chen a little curious.
"I wonder if it would be convenient for you, senior, to tell me about the Taoist immortality struggle?"
Yun Xuanzi sighed and said: "This embarrassing thing is no longer a secret. If the head of Ning Yuan wants to know, I will tell you about it."
After a pause, Yun Xuanzi said: "Chief Ning Yuan, this matter may be a bit long to talk about. Maybe we should start with Dao Zun?"
Ning Chen said: "It's okay, senior. Speak slowly. I'll have someone prepare dinner. If we can't finish talking, we'll talk while we eat."
This area of Taoism can indeed be said to be Ning Chen's blind spot in knowledge.
Now, with great difficulty, someone wants to supplement this knowledge blind spot for himself.
Ning Chen really couldn't ask for it.
Seeing that Ning Chen really wanted to know the origin of the Taoist sect, Yun Xuanzi also began to teach Ning Chen the history of the Taoist sect.
"The road to Taoism's sanctification was created by Tao Zun.
The existence of Tao Zun can be traced back to the period of the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors..."
Then Yun Xuanzi spent an hour telling Ning Chen the history of the Taoist sect.
Ning Chen really didn't expect that the history of Dao Sect was even longer than he thought.
According to Yun Xuanzi, it is recorded in Taoist classics.
Taoism is a being that became a saint together with the Three Emperors, and may even become a saint a little earlier than the Three Emperors.
Moreover, among the Five Emperors, there are actually people who are disciples of Tao Zun.
The specific person is not recorded in the Taoist classics.
But this matter is not a fiction of Taoism.
Because this matter has also been recorded in many other classics.
This matter is definitely true.
If you think about it this way, Tao Zun is even more awesome.
A Taoist saint taught a martial arts saint.
This crossover is a bit awesome.
Although the Confucian sage also crosses boundaries, there are also martial arts masters among the three thousand disciples.
But the Confucian sages did not cultivate martial arts saints.
In this comparison, Dao Zun is still a bit more awesome.
Another point that can prove that Tao Zun is awesome is that luck matters are also directly related to Tao Zun.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors cast the Nine Cauldrons, which may have been Tao Zun's idea, and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were responsible for the execution.
In this case, Ning Chen expressed that he could not understand even more, why the Taoist Master himself disappeared, and what great achievements and huge projects were left behind?
For example, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors directly led the human race out of the abyss, gathered the Nine Cauldrons, founded the human race dynasty, and established martial arts.
He has made indelible contributions to the continuation of the human race.
Not to mention the Confucian sages.
A Great Wall of Righteousness, plus Confucianism and Taoism, which played a decisive role in almost all dynasties of the human race.
Its reputation is no worse than that of Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
However, it seems that Dao Zun did not leave behind any huge projects.
There is not even any record of the place where Tao Zun was sanctified.
This matter is really thought-provoking.
Regarding this question, Yun Xuanzi was not able to give Ning Chen a clear answer.
There is also no record of this aspect in the Taoist classics.
For this reason, many people have questioned whether Tao Zun is a saint fabricated by Taoism.
Just because Dao Zun taught another martial arts saint, this matter cannot be erased.
Therefore, doubts about whether Dao Zun has ever existed can only be regarded as a smear campaign.
The split of the Taoist sect is actually related to the fact that Tao Zun taught a martial arts saint.
Because one of the Five Emperors became a saint by following the path of Taoism and Wu Shuangxiu.
The branch of Taoism planted a seed at this time.
In the later stages, it slowly evolved into a saying like [Inner Saint and Outer King].
The so-called inner saint means only cultivating oneself, studying the cycle of heavenly principles, and pursuing the path to immortality.
In fact, this is not wrong, if you just simply become a hermit by yourself.
No one will disturb anyone, which is good.
But gradually this path went wrong.
In particular, the Inner Sage pursues the path of immortality, which is really in line with the ruler's dream.
That emperor did not want to live forever.
The inner saint of Taoism can help you realize this dream.
But Yun Xuanzi and the other conservatives of the traditional Taoist sect firmly believe that.
The inner saint is for the outer king, and they even think that the outer king is more important than the inner saint.
I feel that I should implement the royal way to the outside world to a certain extent.
Inner Sainthood is a matter of course.
This difference was okay at first, not too obvious.
The existence of the Sun Dynasty and the Moon Dynasty, to a certain extent, is the Taoist sect's attempt to verify whether the Inner Sage is stronger or the Outer King is stronger.
The Sun Dynasty followed the path of the inner sage, while the Moon Dynasty followed the path of the outer king.
It's just that Yue Chao was unlucky and encountered an outbreak in the ghost realm.
Yue Chao just disappeared like this.
In this way, the Inner Sage has the upper hand.
Again, when the inner saint begins to respond to the emperor's thoughts and only looks hard at the eternal life, this path will go astray.
But the emperor thought this road was good.
So this road becomes more and more crooked.
As a result, the Changsheng Taoist Sect is now further and further away from the orthodox Taoist principles.
