Immortal Master Invincible

Chapter 1243 Alien World (154)

Because there is no oil, there are not enough lights in the whole Blossom Flower. There is only a faint light in the cockpit. It is Buenoski who turned on an emergency light. Because the steering wheel cannot be seen clearly, it is easy to mess up. wrong direction.

Fortunately, there are many stars in the sky. Although the light of the stars is faint, they gather together and become more. The deck of Blossom's Flower is not completely dark. At least, Pang Xiaonan can clearly see Oda Lima's pretty face.

"Professor Oda Lima, why don't you go back to the cabin to rest." Pang Xiaonan meditated on the deck, ready to absorb the spiritual energy, but Oda Lima next to him hadn't moved for a long time, which made him a bit uncomfortable to start.

"I want to sit down again." Oda Lima sat beside Pang Xiaonan unceremoniously.

"Pang Xiaonan, what are you planning to do when you go back this time?" Oda Lima looked at Pang Xiaonan's face with concern. After the experience of New Blossom, Pang Xiaonan's facial lines became more and more tough.

"Don't think about going back, just leave the Blossom Disc first." Pang Xiaonan is not as optimistic as Oda Lima, as long as he is still in the Blossom Disc for one minute, he cannot be taken lightly.

"I mean, what do you want to do if we go back to Huaguo?" Oda Lima has experienced life and death this time, and suddenly she is full of longing for a safe and stable life.

"I, I'd better go back to school." Pang Xiaonan didn't even think about it. He was a student in the first place. Although he hadn't attended a few classes, he still had to fulfill his obligations as a student.

"You said you went back to school, do you believe it yourself? You don't look like a student at all!" Oda Lima has also taught for many years. A guy like Pang Xiaonan will believe that he is a teacher, but if he is a student, he will be killed. She doesn't believe it either.

"As you said, you can go and investigate my student status. I am a college student in a prestigious university. I am the proud son of heaven. I have a job assignment after graduation. If I get in, I will be counted as seniority..." Being a military cadet is very proud, of course, it's not bad now.

"You appear to be a student, but you are actually a Taoist, right? Your family must be from a family of Taoists." Xiaotian Lima had long suspected Pang Xiaonan's Taoist identity. Judging from his conversation and martial arts, he was undoubtedly a Taoist descendant.

"Haha, you've seen it all," Pang Xiaonan rubbed the back of his head, planning to plan, "That's right, I'm the seventh-generation successor of Dao Party No. 70, so is Pang Xiaonan!"

"Haha, let me just say, you must be a Taoist, tell me honestly, you Taoists, can't you marry and have children?" Lima Xiaotian always felt that Pang Xiaonan's attitude towards children was a bit strange, Today, she finally got the chance to find out.

"It seems that you have some misunderstandings about Taoism. Today I will popularize the knowledge of Taoism for you." Pang Xiaonan gave Oda Lima a meaningful look. He didn't know whether what he said could be understood by secular people.

Taoism is a native religion in China, with Taoism as the highest belief.Taoism is actually a religion formed by religiousizing the Taoist thought that originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and deified the founder and successor of Taoism.Taoism worships many gods, and the gods worshiped are the personification of Taoism's belief in Taoism.Taoist priests are priests of Taoism.For a long time, many people have always had doubts about whether Taoist priests can marry and have children. We might as well explore this question from the development history of Taoism.

Taoism and Chinese people share the same breath and fate, and the history of Taoism is closely connected with the history of China.Taoism has also been divided into many schools along with the changes in Chinese history, the earliest of which should belong to the Maoshan school.Mao Ying, a Taoist priest in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province, and his younger brothers Mao Gu and Mao Zhong gathered herbs and made alchemy in Juqu Mountain to save the world and save the people.Sanmao Zhenjun learned the Tao from Maoshan and opened the Maoshan Taoist school.

300 years after the founding of the Maoshan School, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Lu usurped the sect established by Zhang Xiu, which was called the Tao of Five Dou Rice, also known as the Tao of Tianshi.Respect Lao Tzu as the patriarch and take "Tao Te Ching" as the classic.And established a separatist regime in Hanzhong.Another Zhang Jiao established the Taiping Road in the Central Plains. Taking the "Taiping Jing" as the classic, he developed believers and led the vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising.After the uprising was suppressed, Taipingdao disappeared.

The prevalence of metaphysics in the Wei and Jin Dynasties provided a good development space for the spread of Taoism.The theoretical basis of Taoism has been enriched and sublimated.The famous Taoist masters Ge Hong and Tao Hongjing enriched the Taoist immortal theory and practice theory, constructed the Taoist immortal genealogy, and promoted the development of Taoist theory.At the same time, they also learned from each other's doctrines and theories in the confrontation with foreign religions such as Buddhism.

Taoism reached its heyday during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, especially during the Tang Dynasty.In the Tang Dynasty, Lao Tzu was respected as the ancestor, and Taoism was regarded as the state religion.Take measures to vigorously promote Taoism and improve the status of Taoist priests.Zhongnanshan Shaoyang Sect and Maoshan Sect became the mainstream of Taoism.The rulers of the Northern Song Dynasty inherited the policy of worshiping Taoism in the Tang Dynasty. The two emperors Song Zhenzong and Song Huizong even practiced Taoism, built palaces and temples, and canonized gods.During the Northern Song Dynasty, Fulu Taoism flourished, and the Maoshan sect with many high Taoism was the most powerful.The Quanzhen sect also quietly rose at this time.

During the Southern Song, Jin, and Yuan dynasties, Taoism was severely divided, and many sects emerged.The founder of the Quanzhen Longmen School, Changchun Zhenren Qiu Chuji, was appreciated by Genghis Khan, and he was worshiped by Genghis Khan.Quanzhenism then became the mainstream of Northern Taoism.In the south, Fulu Taoist schools such as Maoshan School, Taiyiyi School, Shenxiao School, Qingwei School, Donghua School, and Tianxin School continued to develop, forming a new Taoist school-Zhengyiyi.

After the Ming Dynasty, Taoism gradually became secular and folk.Many emperors of the Ming Dynasty respected Taoism, making the prosperity of Taoism reach its peak.And Taoism is officially divided into Quanzhen and Zhengyi sects by the official.After the Qing Dynasty, with the suppression of the Manchu rulers, Taoism declined.

From the perspective of the development history of Taoism, before the rise of Quanzhenism, Taoism has always been a very secular religion.Most Taoists practice medicine and help the world while cultivating immortality and helping the poor.In addition, there is no prohibition on marriage and childbirth.The taboo on marriage originated from the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the mutual reference of Taoism and Buddhism in doctrine and theory.But at that time, it was only used as a precept theory and did not have a substantial impact.The Quanzhen sect, which accepted this strict precept theory, completed the construction of the theoretical system in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and reached its peak in the Yuan Dynasty with the favor of the rulers.

In fact, before the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, there was no requirement for Taoist priests to become monks or not. Basically, Taoist priests would not become monks.Marriage is not prohibited in the way of celestial masters. In fact, the celestial masters of all dynasties in Zhang Lu's way of celestial masters have inherited the legal system as direct relatives.It was not until the Quanzhen Sect was established in the Jin Dynasty that the monastic system (i.e. Qiu Chuji's precept system) came into being.Quanzhen sects are non-married, vegetarian, and monks who live in Taoist temples. The men are Taoist priests and the women are Taoist nuns. To grow a beard.However, there is no such requirement in Zhengyi Taoism. Taoist priests of the Zhengyi sect can marry and eat meat, and they only have to enforce the precepts when practicing rituals.

Therefore, even in terms of doctrine and canon, only Quanzhen Taoist priests forbid marriage.Most other schools of Taoism do not have such constraints.

Oda Lima listened with gusto. She does not reject religion, especially the local religion of Huaguo. Taoism is a sect that everyone loves to see. If you don’t know the supernatural powers of Taoist priests, people will say you are ignorant.

Pang Xiaonan paused, then continued to talk about Taoist orthodoxy.

Zhang Lu's grandfather, Zhang Ling, was the founder of Taoism in the strict sense, that is, the ancestor of the five buckets of rice, so he was respected by later generations as Zhang Daoling.

Zhang Daoling, whose character is Fu Han, is the tenth grandson of Zhang Liang, the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty. "Han Tianshi Family" records: Liangsheng does not doubt, no doubt produces Gao, Gao produces Tong, Tong produces Wuwang, Wuwu produces Liren, Liren produces Hao , Hao Sheng Gang, Gang Sheng Dashun, Dashun Sheng Dao Ling.Han Guangwu Jianwu was born on the [-]th day of the first month of the tenth year in Afang Village, Fengxian County. Before the birth, his mother dreamed that Kuixing was descending, and she felt pregnant.When I was born, the room was full of strange fragrance, which lasted for a whole month, with yellow clouds covering the top and purple air filling the courtyard.He was very intelligent since he was a child, and he read the "Tao Te Ching" at the age of seven. He was familiar with all the books of astronomy, geography, and Heluo Chenwei. Problem!"

So Zhang Daoling abandoned Confucianism and learned the way of longevity.Zhang Zu was 25 years old, and Zeng Guan worshiped Jiangzhou Order.However, he was in the government and yearned for purity, and soon he lived in seclusion in Beiman Mountain in Luoyang, contemplating and studying Taoism, and practiced for three years. A white tiger came to him with a jade talisman in his mouth.In the early years of Yongyuan, Emperor Hanhe granted him the title of Grand Tutor and Marquis of Ji County. Zhang Zu declined all three imperial edicts. The kindness of parents and the love of wives and concubines will disappear at any time. Who will see the kindness of monarchs and ministers last? Please tell the Holy One, as long as you keep quiet and do nothing, the world will naturally be settled. What use should I be? My ambition is in the green mountains!" In order to avoid the noise and harassment of secular affairs in the suburbs of Kyoto, Zhang Zu decided to travel to famous mountains and rivers to visit Taoism and seek immortality.

Ancestor Zhang traveled south to the Huaihe River and lived in Tongbai Taiping Mountain. Later, together with his disciples Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng, he crossed the south of the Yangtze River and settled down in Yunjin Mountain, Guixi County, Jiangxi Province.This place has beautiful mountains and clear waters and quiet scenery. It is the habitat of ancient immortals. Zhang Zu lived in a hut on the mountain and built an altar to make alchemy. After three years, the alchemy was completed; dragons and tigers appeared, so this mountain is also called Dragon and Tiger Mountain.Zhang Zu was 60 years old at the time, and later moved to Heming Mountain in Sichuan, where he felt the long cry of stone cranes.

On the 24th day of the first month of the first year of Han'an, Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, it is said that the Taishang Laojun came to Shu and taught Zhang Zu the "Taipingdong Jijing", "Zhengyimengwei [-]-pin Dharma", the jade seal of three and five capitals, male and female Zhanxie sword and other scriptures and magic tools are worshiped as celestial masters, and instruct the celestial masters to practice the way of righteousness, sweep away demons, and rescue living people.So the celestial master climbed Qingcheng Mountain in July of the second year of Han'an, gathered eight ghost commanders, fought against all ghosts, subdued heretic demons, and exterminated evil and hypocrites.The celestial master's Taoism is profound, and all the demons are invincible. They all surrendered and were willing to convert to the righteous way, so the celestial master ordered the ghosts and gods of the five directions, eight tribes and six heavens to make an oath under the Yellow Emperor Altar in Qingcheng Mountain. The six-day ghost king was imprisoned in Fengdu City of Beiyin, and the eight ghost commanders were exiled in the border areas of the Western Regions.From then on, the demons surrendered, and the people lived in peace. Up to now, Qingcheng Mountain still has historical sites such as the ghost oath platform and the ghost boundary monument where the celestial masters fought with the ghost commanders.

The Heavenly Master subdued demons and rescued all living beings. The people in Shu were very moved and were willing to listen to the Heavenly Master's teachings.So the celestial master set up 24 rules to recruit disciples and educate the people.On September 120th, the first year of Yongshou Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in Quting Mountain, Chicheng, Sichuan, the Jade Emperor sent an envoy to hold a jade book, and ordered the Celestial Master to be Zhengyi Zhenren.

Zhang Daoling, originally named Zhang Ling, was originally a scholar of the Taixue. He was eager to learn, learned the Five Classics, and was proficient in the Tao of Huang Lao.He grew up as a learned man.Later, he abandoned his official position and learned Taoism.Founded Zhengyi Mengweidao, referred to as Zhengdao.In the first year of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, Shi Yongshou established Zhengyimeng Weidao in Heming Mountain. The Taishang Laojun "taught the three-day righteous law and was appointed as a celestial master". articles.During the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, he ascended to Lingtai Mountain (also known as Tianzhu Mountain) in Cangxi County, Sichuan Province. It is said that he was 24 years old at the time.It is said that Zhang Daoling, the first generation of celestial master, learned Taoism from the Taishang Laojun, and was taught by the Laojun himself.

The Taoist sect created by the ancestor Tianshi is called Zhengyimengweidao, or Zhengyidao for short.But because those who followed his Tao had to produce five buckets of rice, it was also called Wudoumi Road at that time. Religious activity center, that is, 24 governance.

Taoists regularly go to study Taoism and pray.His grandson, Zhang Lu, had an army at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, and established a separate regime in Hanzhong.And use the power of the government to promote some social and sectarian ideas of Zhengdao. For example, instead of using severe punishment for criminals, they forgive three times and then punish them. The punishment is also relatively light. build roads.At the same time, a charity house is set up on the road, with rice and meat in it, so that passers-by can eat according to their stomachs.

These measures have created a relatively relaxed living environment for the people in the chaotic situation, so they have won the support of the local Han and minority people.Later, Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao, and the separatist regime could no longer exist.Cao Cao moved the power of Tianshi Taoism to the north, but Rang Zhengyi Mengwei Taoism was preserved and spread to the interior.

"No wonder the current celestial masters are all surnamed Zhang. It turns out that they can marry and have children." Oda Lima knew that the successors of the masters of Taoism are generally called Zhang celestial masters, and this is the reason.

"Yes, you have to look at the sect of Taoism. Some sects cannot marry, and some sects must pass on the family line." Pang Xiaonan quoted an original saying of Taoism, "Taoism does not talk about abstinence like some religions say. This is the concrete manifestation of the Daoism in Taoism."

"Then, can your parties get married or not?" Xiaotian Lima tilted her head and looked at Pang Xiaonan, she took Pang Xiaonan's words seriously.

"Well..." Pang Xiaonan just said casually. In fact, he doesn't know what the Taoist faction is. According to the regulations, it should be possible to marry."

"Why, you are the authentic descendant, you don't even know if your sect can get married?" Oda Lima was a little strange, and began to doubt Pang Xiaonan's identity.

"I'm still young, so I haven't asked my master this question yet." Pang Xiaonan could only talk nonsense.

"Hmph, you're still young, I don't think your mental age is old at all." Oda Lima began to feel a little drowsy, almost tilted her head, leaning on Pang Xiaonan's shoulder and was about to fall asleep.

"Professor Oda Lima, I think you are tired too, why don't you go to the cabin to rest earlier." Pang Xiaonan didn't want to have a beautiful woman next to him when he was practicing, which would interfere with his concentration too much.

"Well, well, I'm really sleepy. I'll go back first. You should also go to bed early." Oda Lima experienced various dangers during the day, and her spirit was very tense. She was really tired this time.

When Oda Lima returned to the warehouse, Pang Xiaonan was about to meditate when Professor Li Sanming came out.

"Professor Li Sanming, why don't you rest?" Pang Xiaonan had a premonition that Professor Li Sanming had something to ask him.

"Pang Xiaonan, I can't sleep." Li Sanming walked to Pang Xiaonan's side and sat on the floor, "Thinking of everything that happened in New Blossoms in the past few days, those bloody scenes are turning over and over in my mind like a movie. Appear."

"Don't think too much, Professor Li Sanming, it's all over." Pang Xiaonan knew that ordinary people have experienced so many unforgettable scenes, which is indeed a great psychological torment.

"I can't control my thoughts." Although Professor Li Sanming has lived in the wild for a long time, he has never had such a terrifying experience as New Blossom.

Pang Xiaonan took a deep breath, as if he was inhaling spiritual energy, "Try not to think about it, I know this experience is cruel to you, after all, it happened, let it take its course."

As the captain of the scientific expedition team, watching the scientific expedition members around him die one by one, it is certain that I feel uncomfortable.

"Let me ask you, what happened when you left us?" Professor Li Sanming got to the point.

"It's nothing, it's just that the situation is similar to what I encountered before, and I encountered a few waves of monsters, and they were even more powerful monsters, so Wu Yongqiang sacrificed." According to his plan, Pang Xiaonan did not mention the gorilla.

"How did he die?" Professor Li Sanming wondered at the beginning, why only three members of the four-person group came back, and it was the Black Mamba guards who died.

It stands to reason that Lima Oda and Bridge Morgan are not as powerful as Wu Yongqiang in combat, and they will die between Lima Oda and Bridge Morgan.

Even if Bridge Morgan had armor to protect his body, Oda Lima should be the one most likely to sacrifice, but Oda Lima came back intact, but Wu Yongqiang couldn't even see the corpse.

This is what anyone with independent thinking ability will think about, let alone a scientist with careful thinking.

"The thing is like this, we came to a lake, and Wu Yongqiang and I went to the woods by the lake to find something to eat." Pang Xiaonan began to tell the cause of Wu Yongqiang's death, of course, skipping some content, "Wait until we get out of the woods. But Mr. Bridge Morgan and Professor Rima Oda disappeared, so we continued to walk forward to find them, even if they were corpses, but we didn't find them after walking for a long time. I met a group of prehistoric rhinos, and under the impact of the rhinos, Wu Yongqiang was stepped into the ground and died just like that."

"You mean, he was trampled to death by a rhino?" Professor Li Sanming recalled the scene of a herd of rhinos fighting tigers and wolves on the savannah in his mind.

Pang Xiaonan nodded, and added: "Yes, there are too many rhinos, I can't handle it, and I couldn't rescue him in time." Although Pang Xiaonan regretted that he didn't rescue Wu Yongqiang, he knew that life and death are a matter of life. Reason, maybe this is the best destination for Wu Yongqiang.

"Is it the kind of rhino that we usually see, or is it much bigger than those rhinos?" Professor Li Sanming was very interested in the rhino described by Pang Xiaonan. Since Pang Xiaonan couldn't handle it, it meant that it was a very powerful species.

"It's too big. It's nearly 3 meters tall, bigger than an elephant." Pang Xiaonan gestured at the height of the rhinoceros, and felt that it seemed too small.

"Oh, that's no wonder." Such a large rhino may not even be a match for dinosaurs, let alone humans.

"Then how did you find Oda Lima and Bridge Morgan in the end? Why did they disappear?" Professor Li Sanming needs to clarify this experience. He is the captain of the scientific expedition team, and he must be clear about the whole process. Only after I go back can I explain to the public opinion.

"According to them, they were chased by a group of hyenas, so they kept running until they reached the prairie, and then they got rid of the group of hyenas. Later, they got lost on the prairie until they met me." Pang Xiaonan didn't know how to describe this experience more fully, he always felt that there was something wrong with this reason.

"Being chased by hyenas?" Professor Li Sanming noticed the clue, "Can the two of them escape from being chased by hyenas?" Anyone with a little common sense knows that it is impossible for humans to run past hyenas, because hyenas have four legs, and humans Only two legs, and this is New Blossoms.

"Well..." Pang Xiaonan scratched the back of his head, knowing where he was wrong, "It may be that people's potential has exploded in extremely dangerous situations, so the speed is accelerated, and I guess, the hyenas are chasing and killing them. I am still a little worried, maybe there are their nemesis in the local area, so I have some scruples in chasing them."

"You mean, there are other animals chasing and killing hyenas together, and they happen to be the natural enemies of hyenas?" As a rigorous scientific worker, Professor Li Sanming tried to make this matter clear.

"It should be. Otherwise, why didn't the hyena stop chasing them when they reached the grassland?" Pang Xiaonan finally tried his best to complete the story, "I think it might be that they have a ferocious aerial beast on their heads."

"Beasts in the sky? Are you talking about eagles?" Professor Li Sanming recalled a scene where hyenas were chasing hares, while an eagle hovered in the sky, rushing down to grab the prey when the time was right.

Pang Xiaonan shook his head and said, "It's not an eagle. According to Professor Oda Lima's recollection, that beast seems to be a pterosaur."

Pang Xiaonan finally lured the dinosaur out.

"Pterosaurs, you mean, you found dinosaurs by the lake?" Li Sanming was taken aback. This was a major discovery, because dinosaurs are a kind of prehistoric beasts that lived in Hallelujah for a long time. Creatures such as prehistoric pythons and prehistoric spiders are more valuable for research.

"That's right," Pang Xiaonan looked at the calm sea and suddenly felt something was wrong. "The night before yesterday, we saw dinosaurs in the lake. Professor Lima Oda said it was a brachiosaurus. Several brachiosauruses were playing in the water. They There were pterosaurs flying over our heads, so the next day we named that lake Dinosaur Lake."

"Dinosaur Lake, Dinosaur Lake..." Professor Li Sanming muttered to himself, but the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed, "This discovery is so amazing, I think I must come to New Blossoms again in my lifetime and see for myself Look at the dinosaur you mentioned."

"I think it's better not to come?" Pang Xiaonan wanted to stop Li Sanming's thoughts, which was a very dangerous idea, "This time we almost wiped out the whole army, it's better to take care of your health."

And Pang Xiaonan knew that this time the gorilla was showing mercy. If he got angry and wiped out these people in minutes, no matter how many troops came, it would be difficult to defeat the fairy-like existence.

"As long as I can see the extinct dinosaurs, I will die." As a world-renowned scientist, the greatest ideal and hobby in his life is to pursue the truth. Professor Li Sanming feels that compared with discovering dinosaurs, his own life is really worthless. negligible.

"Professor, don't think too much. We will see you again if you are destined. Let's rest early." Pang Xiaonan knew that he could not stop scientists from pursuing the truth, so he persuaded Professor Li Sanming to rest earlier and give himself some time and space training.

"I have one last question. You should have gone deep into the hinterland of New Blossom. What did you find? Why did you come back?" Professor Li Sanming felt that Pang Xiaonan must have discovered something, so he turned back to find the scientific expedition team.

"I found out that there is an active volcano in the center of New Blossoms, and we can't cross it, so I came back." Pang Xiaonan told the story planned in advance.

"Active volcano? Sure enough, what I thought was right. This island is a volcanic island. I guess that the protective cover of New Blossoms was caused by the activity of this active volcano." Professor Li Sanming nodded, quite satisfied with his original guess. satisfaction.

"Well, it should be like this." Pang Xiaonan had no choice but to echo the story he made up.

"Do you think we will leave Blossom Disc safely?" Li Sanming looked at Pang Xiaonan with hope.

Pang Xiaonan pursed his lips, nodded seriously, and said, "Yes, don't worry."

Professor Li Sanming turned and went back to the cabin, but Pang Xiaonan frowned. He felt that the aura around him was getting more and more strange.
