Chapter 15 Section 7 Immortal Worship
In the five states of Central China, there are no more than 10 million people. In the vast territory, there are people of various races living. Their masters are the royal family in the middle palace.
The surname of the royal family is "Gaoyang", which is for the ancient clan, which has been widely circulated. Today, it is for the eighty-six years of Gaoyang Kingdom. The current emperor is "Gaoyang Luoli".
Gaoyang Luoli, the current emperor, the emperor of heaven, is unique and powerful.
The prosperous Zhonggong is the most fertile and luxurious land in Middle-earth, so some emperor Gaoyang Luoli is in charge of it.
Gaoyang Luoli's ruling law was extremely generous and kind. At that time, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Each of the five states had its own strengths, the same logistics, commercial cooperation, and prosperity and wealth for a while!
In recent years, Gaoyang Luoli rarely came out of the middle palace, but only dealt with the government in the middle palace and gave great power to the four marquis. At this time, the people of Li devoutly believed in and worship to practice Taoism, and believed in immortality. Many immortal temples are worshipped in various parts of the Middleland, and the quiet and real person of Sanqing Gate is the most respected among them. The immortal way of worship.
Under the king of Gaoyang Luoli, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, the universe is bright, and the road is not picked up.
At this time, Zhang Boqing, who was standing on the stone steps of Sanqing Mountain, was ordered by the emperor to visit the real Taoist master of Sanqingmen.
Although there is an emperor who governs the world, the cultivation sect like Sanqing Gate is respected by people and is not ruled by the emperor at all. They are regarded as immortals by ordinary people and respected by all the people.
Not only the people of Li, but also Gaoyang Luoli himself believes in the art of immortality and worships Taoist people.
Of course, since the royal family rules the people, Gaoyang Luoli naturally knows how to govern the people.
The purpose of governing society is to win the hearts of the people. The people are water, and the kings are the boat. "Water can carry boats and overturn boats." Only by gaining the hearts of the people can we get the nine tripods and govern the world. Immortal worship is to rule the hearts of the people and lead the people with immortal ideas. Therefore, in the middle palace Gaoyang royal family, although they have gained the world, they still retain a middle palace high priest, retaining the immortal religion system, religion is attached to politics, which is the means of governing the country with religion.
After a while, on the stone ladder of Sanqing Mountain along the ridge, layers of mountain gates opened. The little disciple of Sanqingmen walked down with a smile and walked briskly. He stood in front of Zhang Boqing, saluted slightly and said, "Zhang University scholar, please!"
This time, the little disciple's posture was indeed very respectful. He must have seen the head of Taoism and received the instructions of the head.
Zhang Boqing made a slight salute and was very polite.
Picking up the stairs, Zhang Boqing looked at the long and steep stone ladder and looked embarrassed. It must be that he did not know the art of Taoism. With the foot strength of ordinary people, it was extremely difficult to climb up like this.
The little disciple of Sanqingmen smiled and said, "You can fly up. There is nothing taboo here."
While talking, Zhang Boqing held his breath and scolded. A long sword came out. I don't know what color it was. However, this sword was silver and white. At first glance, it was made of the best iron. Looking closely, there were a few traces of blood-like ** secretly swimming in the sword body!
The little disciple of Sanqingmen didn't know what kind of sword it was, but his eyes lit up and just shouted: "Good sword!"
Zhang Boqing laughed, drew out the flying sword, jumped up, stepped on the flying sword, and suddenly went to the stone ladder!
Soon, Zhang Boqing shook off the foot of Sanqing Mountain and had a very long distance. After a moment, he came to Wentian Peak, the main peak of Sanqing Gate.
Ask the sky peak, the sky is refreshing, which makes people feel refreshed immediately!
It's really a fairy resort, which is unusual!
Zhang Boqing's whole body is comfortable and indescribably refreshing, and the bursts of sandalwood float out of the three bronze tripods in the mountaintop square, which is very fragrant, making people calm and distant!
On the top of the square, there are several people standing, one of whom is in the middle, dressed in a gray robe, extremely neat, with white eyebrows, immortal Taoist bones, straight figure, standing with hands behind his back, which makes people worship at first sight!
This person is the head of the Sanqing sect. The other disciples dressed in white are all disciples of the Sanqing sect.
Zhang Boqing put away the long sword and approached. He bowed and said, "Zhang Boqing, a scholar of Zhonggong University, has seen the real Taoist master of Sanqingmen. Please forgive me for your trouble!"
"Ha ha, you're welcome! It's really lucky for the university scholar to come to my door in person. It can be said to be 'glowed'! Ha ha!" That's what Dao Zun said.
Generally, when guests come, several leaders in the Sanqing Gate can go to receive them. Even if they are important people, like today, it is extremely rare for the Taoist leaders to come to Wentianfeng Peak Square to greet them in person. The three Qing disciples standing behind the Taoist true man were surprised, but they all knew that Zhang Boqing in front of him must not be simple!
The two came politely, and Zhang Boqing was invited into the main ancestral hall of Wen Tianfeng by the Taoist priest. This is the place where the Taoist priest received foreign guests.
It's not a problem to give up your seat.
Dao Zunzhen obviously knew some news. He looked at Zhang Boqing and smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Zhang University was a young and talented person to be the pillar of the country. He was really a heroic teenager!"
The head of Taoism turned out to know the origin of this scholar Zhang Boqing.
Only when the people of cultivation are distracted and do not stain the earthly world can they obtain a state of quiet and inaction. However, people who are nearly immortals like Taoist and real people will not be contaminated by the world, so it is nothing to know something about the world.
Zhang Boqing said, "Tao Zun Zhenren, there are two things coming this time, one of which is the will of the Holy Lord. Please go to the Central Palace and take charge of the position of the high priest of Middle-earth to benefit the people of the society. Another thing is the private matter under it. I hope to meet a disciple here, a friend under it.
It turned out that Zhang Boqing came to the Sanqing Gate and really had a big deal!
The high priest of Middle-earth is the whole Middle-earth, the whole kingdom of the human emperor. Under the rule of Gaoyang Luoli, the supreme religious official, the supreme minister, even the emperor, should also be afraid of three points!
Because the whole Middle-earth people are very true to immortality.
Why did this country founded by religion invite Sanqingmen, the head of the immortals and rich families, to be the high priest of Middle-earth?
In fact, it is easy to understand that the territory of China is vast, and the practitioners are a very small part. They are not ruled by the emperor. They are a category outside the imperial power, and they are also respected.
What these practitioners pursue is not power and money, but just a purpose - to become immortals and get rid of the pain of reincarnation!
They are neither ruled by the emperor nor participate in the struggle of the emperor. They can be regarded as people outside the world.
This kind of people will not be cared about by the emperor in the peaceful and prosperous era ruled by the emperor. The royal family just hopes that they will devote themselves to Taoism, which is the best.
And now, Zhang Boqing has been ordered by the emperor Gaoyang Luoli to come here and invite the monks to come out of the mountain. Needless to say, the world is naturally unstable!
This level means that as the head of the Sanqing Gate, the Taoist master is clear in his heart.
The head of Taoist priest smiled. In his unangry and powerful look, a few traces of kindness appeared. Only his voice was calm, and his penetrating voice sounded--
"This Taoism is dedicated to cultivation, and you really can't try to participate in the emperor's society. As a person of cultivation, it is fundamental to become an immortal. If you have a distraction in your heart, it will inevitably damage the fate of your ancestors."
It turns out that Qingjing, the ancestor of Sanqing, had words first. As a practitioner, he should be based on becoming an immortal, and he can't use his own cultivation to participate in human affairs.
Since you are a practicing person, how can you ask about things in the world?
Zhang Boqing smiled and seemed to anticipate the answer of the Taoist real person. He said slowly, "If there are demons in troubled times and harm the world, will you monks also sit by?"
"Hm?" Taoist Zhenren said with surprise and said, "What do you mean?"
"It turns out that the Taoist real people are really careless and concentrate on practicing Taoism, and they don't care about the suffering of the people at all!" Although Zhang Boqing is facing a master in the cultivation world, he is not humble at all, but his words are burning.
