1057,On Tao(2/2)
"As far as I know, the Maoshan sect first started during the period of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty. The three brothers Mao Ying, Mao Gu, and Mao Zhong in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province collected medicines and refined elixirs in Maoshan to help the world and save the people. They learned Taoism in Maoshan and were called the founders of Maoshan Taoism. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Nanyue
Mrs. Wei attained Taoism and became an immortal, ascending to heaven in Huangting Temple. Later she came to Tao Hongjing, the prime minister of the mountains during the Northern and Southern Dynasties..."
When Su Yi said this, Chen You shook his head and interrupted him.
"Ah Hao, what you said should be what you have seen from history books and legends. These are just appearances, not facts."
"Since you know something about Xuanmen, you should know that Xuanmen is divided into two factions: Danding and Fulu, right?"
Su Yi nodded: "I know this. Our Maoshan sect is the Fulu sect."
"Actually, how can we distinguish each other? Maoshan also has alchemy techniques, and Quanzhen also has talisman techniques." Chen You sighed, "Especially in today's Dharma-ending era, where the great avenues are cut off, and even ghosts and gods no longer show their signs. People who practice Taoism have long abandoned their sectarian views.
.”
"But you are right. The Maoshan sect is indeed the Fulu sect. The purpose of our Maoshan sect when we were first established was to save the world and save the people, drive away evil and strengthen the righteous. However, before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, most Maoshan Taoist priests also lived in seclusion to refine elixirs in order to achieve Taoism and immortality. Until
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Mrs. Nanyue witnessed the evil spirits, witches and ghosts causing chaos in the world. Defeated armies died, rebel armies died, and lonely wild ghosts and monsters wandered around the world, doing power and good fortune, responsible for people in temples and buildings, asking people to worship in shrines, and disturbing the human world!"
"The people slaughtered three animals, spent tens of thousands of dollars, and wasted all their property. Instead of receiving his blessing, they suffered from it, and died in vain. It's incalculable." Chen You shook his head and sighed with emotion, "Mrs. Nanyue pities the world, and suffers like this.
, so he taught the disciples of Maoshan the art of talismans, set up twenty-four governance, thirty-six jinglu, and 2,400 Taoist priests inside and outside.
Man, cleanse the universe and make it clear that there are three and five things that are right, and there will be no more evil and evil ghosts in the world..."
Su Yi was stunned for a while after hearing this, and said: "Brother You, I didn't expect that you look slovenly, but when you talk, you talk in one way after another, with quite an ancient charm."
"This also has its own time." Chen You said.
"When will the division be divided?" Su Yi asked deliberately.
Chen You picked up the open book from his lap, pointed at the words on it and said with a smile, "Just read it as you read it."
Su Yi smiled in agreement. In fact, he had already seen Chen You following the script.
"Now, take this "Maoshan Chronicles" and flip through it when you have nothing to do. The inheritance and history of Maoshan from ancient times to the present are all recorded in it." Chen You handed the thread-bound ancient book in his hand to Su Yi, "Actually, Maoshan is a sect.
Up to now, especially my branch, it no longer has much to do with Maoshan."
"Our branch has only mastered Maoshan's method of catching ghosts and exorcising corpses, which is considered a small thing." Chen You said, "The founder of our branch is just an outer disciple of Maoshan, and has not obtained the core true teaching of Maoshan at all. So we only have
Technique, no method."
"If it had been more than a hundred years earlier, we would have been called heretics, and would have been looked down upon by true Taoist masters."
"But now, the most useful thing in Maoshan is the talisman array. As for the other golden elixirs, avenues, immortality and other things, just listen to them, they are useless."
Su Yi couldn't help but ask after hearing this: "Brother You thinks these are all fake?"
"I don't know if it was true before," Chen You said with a smile, "but it must be false now! It's impossible for a mortal to become an immortal! It's impossible to even attain Taoism, let alone become an immortal."
"Over the past few hundred years, many Taoist masters have sat in silence with their eyes closed for a lifetime. However, in the end, due to poor nutrition or illness caused by sitting for long periods of time, they did not live as long as ordinary people."
"Even if you die, you will become a ghoul guarding ghost and cannot be freed. It is very miserable."
"Ah Hao, you said that if no one can attain the Golden Elixir Avenue and no one can become an immortal, even if it is true, what's the difference between it and a fake one?"
