    Although the Tianshi Temple in Luoshui City is far more magnificent than the Taoist Temple in the middle of the mountain by Crow Taoist, it is still far behind the solitary temple that is hidden in the center of the town in Jingnan.  It's just a little more conspicuous among the various shops and buildings.  There are only a few believers and pilgrims who go to Tianshi Temple. Although Luoshui City is becoming more and more prosperous, the mainstream is the heroes who come from all over the world to fight and fight in the rivers and lakes. To be honest, the local people who have been farming are just a few.  However, if there are Buddhist Pure Land Buddhist temples, Maoshan Taoist temples, etc., the incense is not very strong.  Xiaoxia and old man Agulis walked together and happened to see several merchants going to the Tianshi Temple to pray and burn incense. Such merchants were the most common believers in Qingzhou Taoism.  Old Man Agulis couldn't help but chat with them along the way. These merchants were well-informed, and they were only slightly surprised by the very different appearances of Agulis and Minx, so they started chatting casually.  They had only arrived in Luoshui City in the past few days, so naturally they were unaware of the things that had been going viral some time ago about the two Oro Baiyi.  Before these merchants set out together, they made a wish at the local Tianshi Temple and asked for the Talisman of Peace. Now that they had completed the transaction safely, they naturally came to the Tianshi Temple to fulfill their wishes and pray for peace at the same time.  A wish to get home safely.  Naturally, there is a god in charge of safe journeys in the Tianshi Jiao Zhenling industry map. In the early days of the previous dynasty, he was a high-ranking official who started out as a postman. He had many adventures and finally reached a high position in the court. This high-ranking official worked hard while in office.  He rectified the roads of the post stations all over the world, personally led people to build countless bridges in the mountains, and redefined the post station system, benefiting countless travelers all over the world.  Ling was able to comply with the previous government decrees and died a good death. He was praised by the court and many people paid tribute to him. Therefore, he was accepted into the True Spirit Industry Map by the Tianshi Sect and became the road god in charge of the world's journey.  After offering melon and fruit sacrifices and sesame oil money to the road, these businessmen obtained several peace charms from the Taoist.  It is said that once worn on the body, the road will be much smoother.  "It's still a false god and the divine power laws on it are so weak that they are almost non-existent." Old Man Agulis borrowed the Peace Talisman from a businessman. After checking it briefly, he sighed and returned it to the businessman.  The businessman didn't understand and didn't take it seriously, so he put the peace charm into his arms.  Argulis couldn't help but shook his head after seeing it: "It feels like he himself is not very pious. Is it because he knows that this is just a false god? Then why does he come to worship again?" This kind of similar peace  Of course Fu Xiaoxia had seen a lot of them before, and at that time he couldn't figure out why.  But now his vision was different from the past. With the reminder from the old man Argulis, he looked at it carefully, and sure enough he could see that there was indeed a faint trace of the law of heaven and earth looming on the amulet.  According to Xiaoxia's judgment, this law of heaven and earth will indeed have some impact on this person's destiny during the journey.  Although the effect is so weak that it is almost invisible. For example, if you encounter a sudden rainstorm and you should be soaked in the rain, you can pick up a broad-leaf branch to protect yourself from the rain. Drunken chicken is also unavoidable, but it is better than nothing. You should be lying in bed feeling the cold.  The soup and medicine that cost ten taels of silver in three days might only be spent on nine taels of silver.  This change is extremely slight and dispensable.  Naturally, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to detect the difference.  Of course, it is said that sincerity leads to spiritual success. If you sincerely offer prayers to the gods, the effectiveness will indeed be greater.  For example, you will find a place where you can temporarily take shelter from the rain, and the illnesses you suffer from during the journey will be less severe.  But these are just trivial influences after all, and will not have any essential impact on many more major changes. If you run into robbers, enemies, thieves, etc., it will be of no use at all.  After all, this effect only comes from the thousands of wishes and wishes for a safe journey collected by the people of the world under the guise of the True Spiritual Industry Bitmap, which is collected by the Celestial Master Sect. Human wishes are naturally one of the powerful forces of heaven and earth.  It resonates closely with the laws of heaven, earth and the universe, but what is gathered together through such deliberate means is just a rootless tree.  Condensing the Dharma Body like Taoist Jin Lingzi did is already the limit, and the role other places can play is even less significant.  This is why Old Man Argulis and Minx call them false gods.  At this time, a merchant went to ask for another amulet to pray for heirs.  But this time, both the incense and candles he offered and his attitude were much more correct. After getting the amulet, he treasured it and hid it in his arms.  When the companions on the side saw the merchant's actions, some people immediately started to make noises: "Jia Da, you ask for a child-seeking talisman wherever you go. It's not troublesome. Just do as I say and find a famous one."  The most effective method is to offer hundreds or even thousands of taels of sesame oil money at once and knock it down at once, regardless of whether it is a Taoist temple or a monk temple, regardless of whether it is the Mother-in-Chief or Guanyin."  Do you think it's a business deal and giving a kickback? Do you understand that sincerity is a sign of truth? I have sincerely made a wish to the empress and bodhisattva everywhere. As long as my wife wears it and gives birth to a big white fat boy for my Jia family, there will be a baby immediately.  He offered a thousand taels of sesame oil money, saying that he was an honest man. "They just interpret the gods according to their own customs and habits, or they simply use the gods and faith as tools." Old man Agulis listened to several businessmen.?'s conversation, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. After studying hard these days, he could basically understand it.  "They seem to understand that what they believe in is basically a false god." Xiaoxia said casually: "What they believe in is actually the god created in their own hearts. They will believe in whatever they want to believe." "It seems like that.  Really?" Argulis thought for a moment and shook his head.  "But isn't your sect known as the 'Religion of Truth'? Why don't you guide people to explore the truth and believe in the truth, but instead create false gods to confuse them?" "Maybe it's because the truth is too difficult and too far away from them, so  Just make something closer and simpler for them to understand." Xiaoxia thought for a while and answered.  "After all, both the founders of the Taoist school and the Confucian school believe that the truth is actually very luxurious and difficult to understand, and cannot be understood by ordinary people. For example, these businessmen. There are also those who usually run around for life.  Common people, they will never be interested in such difficult things as the truth of the world and how the world works. All they care about is how much money they can earn today and how much improvement they can bring to their families and lives. What is the world like?  They won't care about it at all." "But this is indeed deception. Shouldn't we as human beings pursue the truth?" "The pursuit of the truth is of course the most noble and admirable behavior. But there are indeed too many people who don't.  They have no ability and no interest in pursuing the truth. At this time, we can point out to them a simple path that seems to be related to the truth but is actually very suitable for them. This is a compromise method thought up by many sages." Xiaoxia pointed to the center of the hall.  Statue of Master Zhang.  "That's the case with the Pope who founded the 'Zhengyi' sect. I have also told you about his deeds." "Yes, he is a well-deserved great hero, politician and leader, but he is not  A true cleric. At least from our perspective in Europe." Argulis shook his head.  "And the sect he founded is more political than religious." "I think he must feel the same way," Xiao Xia smiled.  The sage teaches according to Shinto, but he has no intention of belonging to Shinto.  At that time, Zhang Daoling pioneered the effective governance of Jingnan, which was not unrelated to the integration of politics and religion with the teachings of Tianshi.  In the chaos of war and chaos, the newly created Jingnan area was orderly and full of vitality, and the people were united as one.  From a secular perspective, this can be said to be an extremely remarkable achievement for thousands of years, but in a strict sense, this is not the fundamental teaching of Taoism.  In the final analysis, the basic classics of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism all mention ghosts and gods and avoid talking about them. This is not a taboo or an unspeakable secret.  But compared to the Great Avenue of Heaven and Earth, these are just one of the links. To say the least is to sacrifice the basics for the sake of the weak, but fall in front of ordinary villagers and foolish women.  On the contrary, this simple and intuitive concept of gods and monsters is the easiest to understand.  At this time, a Taoist man came not far away.  In fact, from the moment they entered the Tianshi Temple, the very different appearances of the old man Agulis and Minx attracted the attention of the Taoists in the temple. They also recognized Xiaoxia who came with them, but a few Taoists exchanged words with each other.  They looked at each other with a look of embarrassment and did not say a word to say hello.  But it looked like they were just chatting with a few businessmen, pilgrims, and their own family.  Finally, a Taoist couldn't bear it any longer and came forward to say something to Xiao Xia: "Taoist Master Qingfeng. This poor Taoist is being polite. The Taoist Master should be invited to discuss important matters today, right?" "That's right."  Xiaoxia returned the favor and agreed.  "But we only invited the Taoist priest in our letter." The Taoist looked troubled and looked at the two strange-looking foreign barbarians, Agulis and Minx, who were beside Xiaoxia.  There is also the bright moon and two Tianhe ghosts not far away.  "These are all good friends of Pindao and witnesses of what happened that day. It is only appropriate that we come together to discuss this matter." Xiaoxia pretended not to understand what this Taoist meant.  Now is an extraordinary period. Whether it is for precaution against the two Xiong Gui or the Tianshi Sect itself, Xiao Xia has no intention of attending the meeting alone.  The Taoist thought for a while and said, "Then please wait here for the donors. Master Qingfeng, please come alone with me." "Oh?" Xiao Xia was slightly surprised, shook his head and replied, "There is something wrong with this.  . The poor Taoist was ordered by Master Zhou Mu to accompany Old Father Ouluo all the way. In my opinion, it would be better if I could explain it clearly in front of everyone." "This" the embarrassment on the Taoist's face became more and more obvious.  He came more and more heavily, thought for a while, looked around and said in a low voice: "Actually, a big shot in our sect came to Luoshui City. After hearing about Taoist Master Qingfeng, he decided to meet you, Taoist Master Qingfeng. No.  Taoist Master Qingfeng, please tell me that the identity of this important person is very important. It will definitely be of great benefit for Taoist Master Qingfeng to meet him." Looking at the mysterious expression on this man's face, he seemed to be asking for credit.  Xiaoxia only felt a little funny and a little wary because of the meaning of showing off.  My relationship with the Tianshi Sect is extremely inappropriate. The higher up the people are, the more likely they are to know about the All-In-One True Talisman. This person did not know and acted like this.  However, he naturally would not tell the truth about this matter. He just shook his head and refused: "I dare not be careless about Lord Zhou Mu's request. My fellow Taoist also knows that the Yongzhou Army sent people here. It seemsIt would be unfavorable to these two distinguished guests from a foreign country. The poor Taoist would not dare to leave these two people behind for a private meeting with some noble sect.  If it is really inconvenient, the matter will be put aside temporarily.  Let¡¯s talk about it later.  "The Taoist didn't expect Xiao Xia's answer, so he froze immediately. He turned around and looked at each other with several other Taoists, not knowing what to do. "Mr. Xia, it seems they are inviting you to discuss some confidential issues in private?  Then we can wait for you here first.  "Agulis reminded him kindly, but Xiaoxia smiled and waved her hand to indicate no need. She turned around and walked out. "Wait a moment, fellow Taoist Qingfeng, please stay!  "The Taoist priests from the Tianshi Sect over there became a little panicked when they saw this, and greeted them repeatedly. "Fellow Taoist Qingfeng, please stay, let us go and report first.  "Seeing the two Taoist priests turn around and run away in a panic, Xiaoxia frowned slightly. He was a little disgusted and wary of this inexplicable summons from the master. In this sensitive season, any unnecessary setbacks can be avoided. That person  If the master still insists on letting him meet alone, he can only turn around and leave. Fortunately, not long after, the two Taoist priests turned back panting and said: "The master said, if Taoist Master Qingfeng insists on doing this,  , just invite a few people to go together.  "These words made Xiaoxia slightly relieved. Jin Lingzi died in the hands of himself and Minx after all. Although the blame was ultimately placed on the General's Mansion, he was always at fault. It was unjustifiable not to come to explain to others. In the end, he was at fault.  Under the leadership of those Taoist priests, Xiaoxia and his party came to a small backyard of Tianshi Temple. Several Taoist priests stopped at the entrance of the small courtyard, and only one walked in cautiously to report. Looking at the Taoist's respectful and cautious appearance,  Xiaoxia is really curious about this so-called master of Tianshi Sect. For Tianshi Sect, the fundamental place is Jingnan. Then there are Shuzhou in northern Jingzhou and the hinterland of the Central Plains. As for the remote Ji Qing Er  Frequent wars in the state and people's livelihood are uneasy, so generally speaking, they don't take it to heart. The high-level leaders of the church rarely move in this direction. But looking at the cautious appearance of these Taoist priests, the small courtyard has also been cleaned and arranged carefully.  Moreover, this was a notification, a reply, and an attitude of standing at the door and not daring to enter without permission. It was a bit unlike a Taoist sect. Not long after, the Taoist who reported the news came out, signaled that Xiaoxia and others could go in, and then led several other Taoists.  He retreated far away. "What kind of behavior is this?  Those who didn¡¯t know better thought the emperor lived inside.  "Tianhe Ghost sighed. He had long been dissatisfied with the behavior and demeanor of these Taoist priests. "Only Longhu Mountain has the most rules.  Looks most uncomfortable.  Speaking of which, the Taoist priests of the Zhenwu Sect are truly monk-like, and their skills and virtues are all impressive.  It's a pity that he only focused on practicing martial arts in Qing Dynasty and didn't move around much in the world.  "Agulis also nodded: "Mr. Xia also said that the same basic teachings have evolved into sects with completely different styles?  This is quite interesting.  ""The Zhengyi Sect has been in charge of the Taoist sect for hundreds of years and is the leader in the world of righteousness. Naturally, the rules are much bigger.  "Xiao Xia replied casually and walked towards the small courtyard. The small courtyard was cleaned spotlessly and it could be seen that it had been carefully decorated. However, the temporarily transplanted plants and decorations looked a bit stiff. After all, the Celestial Master Temple was here.  Luoshui City is not a very prominent force. The death of Taoist Jin Lingzi not long ago left everyone without a leader and they were in a hurry. It must be a bit weak to receive this important figure in the sect. Looking past the screen rockery at the entrance of the small courtyard, the scene in the courtyard  It fell into the eyes of everyone. A furnace of incense was lit in the small courtyard. A middle-aged Taoist was sitting on a Taishi chair and sipping a cup of tea in his hand. He had a straight face and a solemn expression. The Taoist robe on his body and the top of his head were  Her hibiscus and gold crowns were meticulously cared for, and her whole person exuded a solemn and solemn aura, as if she was a character in the altar scroll. Seeing Xiaoxia and his group appear, the middle-aged Taoist looked up, and there seemed to be lightning in his eyes.  Flashing, not angry but powerful. Xiaoxia was suddenly stunned. He had seen this middle-aged Taoist not long ago. At that time, this man was driving a chariot in mid-air amidst the thunderous waves like the ocean.  ."Longhu Mountain Zhang Tianshi?  why you?  "Ming Yue exclaimed. "Oh?  Could this be the leader of the Zhengyi sect of the Truth Religion?  "Old man Agulis was also surprised. These days, he has learned a lot about the situation in the land of China from Xiao Xia. Except for Minx who was dumbfounded and couldn't understand, even the Tianhe ghost was shocked. After all, this person is the nominal member of the Taoist sect in the world.  The leader of the Communist Party of China, the number one person in the right path who approves the order to eliminate demons and demons every year. Even though this title has some moisture, it cannot be ignored by any Jianghu people. Xiaoxia did not move, and there was no expression on his face. In fact, he was recognizing  The first time Zhang Tianshi came out, he was so surprised that he almost lost control. He couldn't help but mobilize the Universal True Talisman, use the Qiantian Demon Locking Talisman and other all the strongest means at his disposal. But the next moment,  He understood that this was actually not necessary, because he really could not feel any hostility, nor could he detect any fluctuations in the laws of heaven and earth. He was already familiar with the spells taught by the Heavenly Master, and his perception with the help of the Universal True Talisman was even more unparalleled  , when facing him face to face, not even Zhang Yuhong could make a sudden move without any clue, let alone Zhang Tianshi, whose cultivation level was even weaker by one or two, and could only rely on the power of faith at most. Xiaoxia alreadyIf you don't feel that he is going to take action, that means he really doesn't want to take action.  What's more, if you really want to take action, you can slowly set up other traps and ambushes. This is really not a good time to take action in front of many of them.  Zhang Tianshi just looked at Xiaoxia quietly. Whether it was the ferocious-looking Tianhe ghost, the stunningly beautiful girl Mingyue, or two barbarians from different countries with very different shapes, the other people beside him seemed completely unworthy of paying his half-hearted attention.  one time.  "I came to you today because I want to say something important to you. Now you can see that I don't have any ill intentions, so can we talk alone?" Zhang Tianshi put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Xiaoxia slowly  said.  ps: Confucius once said, "No one below a sergeant can speak superior words," "Only the superior wisdom and the inferior fools will not change." He also sighed that it was not possible and had to ride on the floating sea. He sincerely felt that there were many idiots in the world and could not be educated.  .  Lao Tzu said, "The corporal laughed when he heard the Tao," "The people can follow it but not understand it," etc., which have similar meanings.  As for the Buddhist scriptures, they are even more cold and hard to describe, and they are not for ordinary people to read at all.  Note that there is a fundamental difference between ¡®people¡¯ and ¡®scholars¡¯.  A sergeant or above must be one of the best in a thousand.  The two leaders, Mr. Kong and Lao, are actually very cold at heart.  As for the so-called three religions that are the core of Chinese culture that were later derived, they are actually somewhat contrary to the fundamental meaning of these three theories. It was later generations who used tiger skin to pull the banner, simplified and mutated the sheep's head and dog meat, and then ate these  Over the years, it gradually turned into rotten and smelly meat.  Then there are those who hold smelly and rotten meat as a treasure, while there are also those who argue that you shouldn¡¯t eat meat at all and should eat shit.  It¡¯s not that the things belonging to our ancestors are bad, it¡¯s just that they¡¯ve been crooked for thousands of years, and they¡¯ve become extremely crooked.  ps2: The family crisis is so annoying. I still have to spend so much effort and thankless effort to write these things. I¡¯m really asking for it.  It¡¯s just that I always want to write something that is more or less meaningful.  (To be continued)
