"Although Huangshi Gong is a master, he is not upright and he ends up being self-destructive. However, this lord did not treat him badly. He buried him in Laoshan well, which is worthy of his identity as a master of the Mo family!" After Chen Xu finished speaking, he stopped to look at the alchemist who had just spoken, "But what does this have to do with Fang Xiandao?"

"The Marquis was Mingjian. When Huangshi Gong was in rebellion, some immortals and Fang Xiandao gathered in Langya were also involved. The alchemist Lu Sheng, who wrote to Emperor Shi, went to sea, was the local leader of Fang Xiandao. He had close contacts with famous scholars Song Wuji, Zheng Boqiao and others. After Huangshi Gong was suppressed by the Marquis using immortal arts, the Motuo scattered. Fang Xiandao people scattered in order to avoid disaster. Lu Sheng, Zheng Boqiao and Song Wuji and others disappeared. A large number of disciples of Fang Xiandao defected to An Qisheng to Wuzhong. Currently, they live on Daishan, Taohua Island and Baihua Mountain to open up new temples to refine alchemy practice... We are all sects, looking for famous mountains, rivers and other islands that are rarely visited overseas, hoping to find the art of mastering gods and controlling ghosts left by ancient gods..."

After listening to the old man Zhengyang Gong’s explanation, Chen Xu was amused and crying.

The sayings of gods and ghosts in this era are very popular. Even Chen Xu used the public's psychology to create a Taiyi Immortal Lord's dream of giving heavenly books, so that he could live so freely in this wilderness era. With a false excuse, the entire Qin Dynasty, from the emperor to the civilians, respected and even worshiped him.

Fang Xiandao, that is, those of Zheng Boqiao, mainly studied the purpose of refining alchemy and refining medicine to survive forever, and his medical skills were relatively clever.

"Shan Hai Jing·Hai West Classic" says: There are Wu Peng, Wu Ri, Wu Yang, Wu Lu, Wu Fan, Wu Xiang, and corpses of corpses with worms all used immortal medicines to reject them. Therefore, in the eyes of Taoists, ancient wizards all controlled immortal medicines, so they all worked hard to study the inheritance of witchcraft, hoping that one day they could refine immortal medicines.

But compared with these Taoist priests who are studying witchcraft and medical skills to refine elixirs, there is another group of people who do not refine elixirs, mainly studying various techniques of impeaching ghosts. The so-called method of impeaching ghosts is to draw lots of talismans, using some very ancient methods of numerology and sacrifice to communicate with ghosts and gods.

The "Jiao" chapter of "Yunmeng Qin Shop" records many ghost names, hair-dressing, name-drawing, etc., such as impeaching ghosts, such as latitude ghosts, thorn ghosts, yang ghosts, sorrow ghosts, and thunder ghosts. During the Warring States Period, a large number of alchemists also studied these things, such as traveling to look at the date, building houses to look at the terrain, choosing auspicious days for driving ground, and even looking at the direction for traveling to carriages and horses. Those who believe in it will also ask alchemists to draw various impeachment graphics on their own houses and carriages to achieve the purpose of communicating ghosts and gods to drive away disasters and bless peace.

There are many books on the market about impeaching ghosts. In fact, they are painting talismans and chanting mantras to see some original forms of Feng Shui. Shui Qingrou likes to collect some books to learn. Chen Xu will occasionally read them when he has nothing to do. Generally speaking, what he inherits are some sacrificial forms of witchcraft.

In other words, Fang Xiandao mainly studies medical skills and belongs to the alchemy school.

The group of alchemists in front of us mainly study drawing talismans to drive ghosts and jump to the masters, and belongs to the talisman school.

In fact, the Mohist school is also a branch of Taoism, because they comb the Taoist bun, wear hemp clothes and hemp shoes, respect the ghosts of heaven and light, love non-attack, and study the mechanism of mathematics and techniques. In summary, they should belong to the Taoist weapon refining school.

To be more popular, the core idea of ​​Confucianism, the largest school of the world, is still Taoist theory. However, in order to be more secular and in line with the concept of governing the country, Confucianism has just made the concept of gods and ghosts more blurred, but respecting heaven and law of gods has always been the tradition of Confucianism.

Confucius traveled to Song Dynasty, and someone asked him if he was a saint. Confucius said that I was not a saint, but a saint was in the West.

"There are saints in the West who do not govern but do not cause chaos, do not speak but be confident, do not transform but act on their own, and do not become famous in the people."

This sentence is quite controversial in later generations, but the mainstream view is that Confucius believed that if there were saints in the world, he would be Lao Tzu, who lived in a Western country.

This Western country refers to Zhou or Qin, which is definitely not India imagined by later generations, and the saints do not refer to Sakyamuni.

Confucius praised Lao Tzu so much, and naturally Confucianism also highly praised Lao Tzu. Confucianism can oppose theories of hundreds of schools, but it never slandered the Taoist school.

"I think An Qisheng can be followed by the disciples of Fang Xiandao. I think there is still some origin, but I don't know where it comes from?" I was bored at this time, and Chen Xu asked about more inside information about Fang Dao group.

"The people born in Anqi are called Qiansui Weng in Wu, Yue, Qi and Yan, and are also called Mr. Anqiu. His masters were under the father-in-law of Heshang, Zheng Boqiao, Song Wuji and other famous scholars of Fang Xiandao all came from the disciples of Heshang Gong and called themselves disciples of Fang Xiandao!" An alchemist explained.

"So, Heshang Gong is the founder of Fang Xiandao. An Qisheng, Zheng Boqiao, Lu Sheng, and Song Wuji are all fellow disciples?"

"That's right, Fang Xiandao gathered in Langya, headed by Lu Sheng. Now Lu Sheng and others are all missing and unknown whereabouts. Fang Xiandao disciples gathered in Wuyue, and this island became their temple. We were practicing in Daishan. Since these Fang Xiandao disciples came, we have been driven to this edge island!" The old man said with a wry smile.

"I heard that Heshang Duke is a master of enlightenment, so how could he bully fellow disciples like this?" Chen Xu couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Heshang Gong may not have heard of him in later generations, but the current Daqin is famous among the Fangdao group. Even Chen Xu, a fake god with two swords, has heard many rumors.

The name of Duke Heshang is no longer verified. Just like the legendary figures of the Huangshi Duke and Chi Songzi in later generations, most of the records in the historical books can only be guessed through folk legends.

But the most awesome thing about Heshanggong is that he annotated Lao Tzu's "The True Book of Morality". Now the Literature Institute Press has published this book, and the name is "The Stamps and Sentences of Heshanggong".

This is the first version of the world's first detailed annotation of the theories of immortals after Lao Tzu left behind the Tao Te Ching. Compared with the "Xie Lao" compiled by Han Feizi, it is more in line with the understanding and cognition of Fang Taoists, and has been highly praised by famous scholars in a hundred schools of thought.

As the Chinese sacred textbook second only to the Book of Changes, the annotations of "The True Book of Changes" are naturally not something that great sages and great wise men dare not touch them. Therefore, before the publication of this book, the bookstore specially invited hundreds of great sages and famous scholars of Fang Dao to participate in the revision and correction. It collected dozens of hand-written versions and repeatedly compared them before finally compiling them into the book and printed them. After it was published, it was robbed as soon as it was launched. Even the First Emperor ordered the publishing house to leave a full hundred sets for the collection of the Shaofu, the Supervision Province, the Doctoral Museum and other imperial departments to collect them as the most valuable collection of classics.

As the dean of the School of Literature, Chen Xu naturally had to read the first thing he could do when printing this set of books. Although Chen Xu couldn't understand and had no intention of studying, Shui Qingrou liked it very much. So Chen Xu also made more than ten sets of books at home, and even made a set of bamboo slips to collect in the study room for the storefront.

"Heshang Gong was a master of Duke Le Chen, and learned Huang-Lao's skills, and had a good relationship with Zou Yan. The two of them had discussed teaching in Jixia Academy. The seals and sentences of Duke Heshang were completed at that time, and the name of Duke Heshang was also well-known by everyone. Later, the Jixia Academy was disbanded, Duke Heshang lived in seclusion in Langya and opened a museum to teach his disciples. An Qisheng and Lu Sheng were his direct disciples, and they were named masters and apprentices. However, Zheng Boqiao, Song Wuji, Chong Yan and others just followed and learned to listen to the scriptures. In fact, strictly speaking, they could not be considered disciples of Duke Heshang, but they had a relatively close relationship..."

"The immortals of the Houhe Gong passed away, and these people gathered together to claim to be the immortals of the Fang Dynasty to distinguish other Taoist sects. After the destruction of the six kingdoms, the First Emperor ordered the Taoist sages in the world to search for the elixir of immortality in the world. Many alchemists gathered in Langya went to Xianyang one after another. Zheng Boqiao and others went to Xianyang at that time. At first, they heard that they were highly valued by the First Emperor in the palace, but later for some reason these alchemists were driven out of the palace. Later, Zheng Boqiao and others had no news..."

"Two years ago, a fellow traveler went to Yingzhou and brought back news that Yingzhou was not the ancient legendary sacred fairy island, and there were no undead elixirs on it. Therefore, a large number of Fangxian Taoist disciples came to this island, occupied the spiritual land and turned it into a temple, built temples, and summoned the same masters and disciples. Although we came early, they were numerous and powerful, and we could only retreat to this edge. Haha, the so-called blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. If it weren't for this, we wouldn't meet the Marquis today, and we wouldn't have the chance to taste the delicious food made by the Marquis himself. After this feast, we can also give up here and go to other places to find opportunities!"

Although Mr. Zhengyang said it was desolate, he smiled sincerely. It can be seen that he was really happy and comfortable to chat and drink with Chen Xu today.

"Mr. Zhengyang said it well. If you don't leave anyone here, you will be able to keep someone. The sky is vast and the earth is vast. Where can I go? I am planning to arrange a large ship to form a fleet to go to the South Ocean to find the ancient legendary Buzhou Mountain and Kunlun Mountain. If you are interested, you can contact my fleet at that time!" Chen Xu smiled and gave a thumbs up, and at the same time he habitually began to fool these people into preaching in the West.

"Really?" The group of alchemists sat up straight in excitement.

"Of course, you have read the Great Qin Metropolis Daily. The ship can detour to the West tens of thousands of miles away through the South China Sea. It is more convenient than crossing the Western Regions. The West is a hundred times the territory of our Great Qin, with a population of billions and a large number of princes. It is the ancient Jiuzhou area that has been circulated. As long as you search carefully, you may be able to find many relics in ancient legends. If you go out to see more, you will eventually have more opportunities. Are you right?"

"Yes, the Marquis said something right. We have been searching for the Central Plains and the southeast coast for decades but have gained nothing. It is not that we are not sincere enough, but that there is indeed no clue. If we can go to the West, we may soon get the opportunity!"
