Of course, the mist in the capital does not only appear in Chu Huan's mansion. The entire capital is shrouded in mist in the early morning. People who get up early are amazed at this scene. They haven't seen it like this in this season for many years. It's morning fog.

Of course, the imperial city is also shrouded in mist.

The Purple Jade Hall in the Imperial City is the place where the emperor practiced Taoism. His Majesty the Emperor stayed here for more than half a year, and the Purple Jade Hall formed its own system. Except for Taoists who practiced Taoism, eunuchs were not even allowed to enter or leave here, let alone When it comes to officials and concubines, even the empress, whom the emperor loves so much, can't enter it when the emperor is practicing Taoism.

The Purple Jade Hall is known as the elegant and holy place in the imperial palace. According to Sitiantai Taoist Sect, the Purple Jade Hall is full of aura, which is of great benefit to cultivating Taoism and longevity.

The germination of Taoism began with Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", and Lao Tzu was worshiped as the ancestor of Taoism, but it was the time when Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty truly established Taoism as a religion.

Zhang Ling, a stranger in Heming Mountain in Shu County, summed up Confucianism's reverence for heaven and common people's ancestors, and added the thoughts of other schools of thought to form a brand-new religion called Taoism, which initially became the Five Dou Rice Religion.

The reason why the Five Dou Rice Sect is so called is that believers who join the religion must hand in five Dou rice, so as to let the world understand that people regard food as their heaven.Zhang Ling was born in Shu County, with peculiar regional customs. From the very beginning, he was shrouded in mystery, and was even considered a witch religion. Therefore, at the beginning, Wudou Rice Cultists were even slandered as "rice thieves".

However, at the beginning of the establishment of the Five Dou Rice Sect, it was to help those in danger and rescue the poor. There were many Taoists who healed the sick and saved the people. At the beginning of the sect, Zhang Heng, the heir, inherited the mantle, and then the Wudou Rice Cult spread widely, forming many factions according to the region.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Five Dou Rice Religion once developed to its heyday, and many Taoist families appeared, such as Langya Wang, Chenjun Xie, Danyang Xu, Donghai Bao, etc. These famous families have become Wu Dou Rice believers. Therefore, Wu Dou Rice Religion has gradually moved closer to the government from a folk religion. At the beginning, Wu Dou Rice Religion emphasized that people regard food as the first priority, mutual help and love, and peace in the world.

The Five Dou Rice Cult originated in Shu County. Zhang Ling’s son Zhang Heng and his grandson Zhang Lubao ruled Hanzhong for many years. Afterwards, they walked together with the imperial court and made use of each other, which made the influence of the Wu Dou Rice Cult spread across the country from the southwest corner. So far the name of the Wu Dou Rice Cult The sound shook the world, and the teaching name of Wudoumi Cult gradually became unsuitable for the current situation, so it was renamed Tianshidao. The Son of Heaven, Wu Dou Mijiao changed its name to Tianshi Dao, which is a disguised way to put the emperor in the court as the most important thing.

During the development period of Wudou Rice Religion, during the period of Emperor Lingdi of the Han Dynasty, the court was incompetent, the people were displaced, and the people were in dire straits. Zhang Jiao had already taken advantage of the situation and preached with "Taiping Qing Lingshu". It was very influential. After the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Taiping Dao was in decline, but it did not stop.

The Tao of Heavenly Master and the Tao of Taiping coexist, but the teachings are completely different. The Tao of Tianshi attaches great importance to the court, cooperates with the court for mutual benefit, and uses the court to expand its power, and the court also uses the Tao of Tianshi to control the hearts of the people. In the eyes of the court, the Tao of Tianshi Tao is a good boy, but Taipingdao is just the opposite. Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, Taipingdao has been a thorn in the side of the court.

After the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Taiping Dao disappeared from the world, and Taiping Dao disciples started anew, extinguishing the banner of Taiping Dao, and even mixed with Tianshi Dao, making it difficult to distinguish.

But as long as the time comes, the Taiping Taoists who have changed their appearance and their hearts have not changed will suddenly rise up to incite the people and confuse the people.

In the period of the former Dahua Dynasty, there were several uprisings by Taiping Taoists, but they were all suppressed. However, the Dahua Dynasty worshiped Buddhism, but it vigorously suppressed Taoism. However, the way of teaching was also restricted for a time, Buddhists practiced their things, and Taoists were once ordered in the Dahua Dynasty.

After hundreds of years of development, Tianshi Dao has been divided into dozens of sects according to different regions and purposes.

There are many Taoisms that Tianshi Dao engages in, such as divination, talismans, prayers, forbidden curses, inner alchemy, outer alchemy, furnace fire gold, bigu, sexual intercourse, intercourse, immortal medicine, convincing, and Gai Qingjing. There is one theory of refining, one theory of taking food, another theory of talismans, and another theory of classic science and education. Each sect and school have different motives for their establishment, and their pursuit of goals is different. They are different and even hostile to each other. Some of them pursue elegance, but some of them are very vulgar.

Although there are many Taoism techniques, in summary, there is the theory of the six Taoist techniques.

The six arts are mountain, medicine, fate, phase, divination, and immortality!

Shanshu is to use meditation to cultivate one's own spirit and body, to drive away evil spirits and suppress evil spirits, to seek good luck and avoid evil, to subdue demons and eliminate monsters, and to rejuvenate the secular family.Medical skills are based on medical skills, pharmacology and Taoism. They mainly tend to the art of alchemy. Many of the elixirs refined can save the world and save people, and the contemptible art of the house is also included in art.The art of life is based on the combination of a person's birth time and the five elements of yin and yang to deduce the fate of a person, so as to achieve the effect of seeking good luck and avoiding evil.As far as physiognomy is concerned, it is to observe the person's seal, name, person, family, and tomb through binoculars, so as to see the person's good luck.

As for divination, it includes three types: divination, selection of auspiciousness, and survey of bureaus. Divination is based on the "Book of Changes" as a theoretical basis, combined with the mutual constraints of the three realms of heaven, earth and human to infer good and bad. Root, through the combination of layout, fighting, spells, etc., to deal with the unlucky factors of the development of affairs. In fact, this method is often used in wars. According to research, the ancient Sun Wu and Zhuge were all familiar with "Qimen Dunjia", and they were fully used in wars.

The prediction in divination is beyond the reach of ordinary Taoists. It is based on "Taiyi Shenshu" and uses the technique of twelve hexagrams to calculate the country's political destiny, fortune, and historical laws. Supernatural powers, this kind of Taoism, except for those with great wisdom, ordinary Taoists can't dabble at all, and "Taiyi God's Number" is rare in the world. Although Taoist children have heard of this Taoist classic, few people have seen it. Xin Mi, it is said that the knowledge in "Taiyi God's Number", even if ordinary people get it, they can't see through it. It is possible to understand "Taiyi God's Number" through great wisdom.

After all, these five arts are close to the world and exist in the world. Only the sixth art of immortality is neither expected nor sought after by the world. It is the highest practice of Taoism, the immortal art of longevity.

The emperor of Ziyu Temple practiced Taoism, and the Taoism he believed in was the Taoism of Cultivating Longevity, but the name of the Taoism was also straightforward, that is, the Tao of Longevity.

It is known that the emperor practiced Taoism and cultivated longevity.

The Purple Jade Hall is the place where His Majesty the Emperor concentrates on cultivating Taoism. The main hall of the Purple Jade Hall has an octagonal jade platform, which looks like eight trigrams, and on the octagonal jade platform, there are engraved pictures and texts of eight trigrams. The emperor is wearing a Taoist robe and sits cross-legged In the octagonal jade platform is the central yang.

Around the octagonal jade platform, there is a small octagonal platform at each corner. Eight small octagonal platforms guard the octagonal jade platform where His Majesty the emperor sits. On each octagonal platform, a Taoist priest sits cross-legged.

In the Purple Jade Hall, there are many copper incense burners, sandalwood is floating inside, green smoke is curling up, the green smoke is floating in the Purple Jade Hall, and when entering the Purple Jade Hall, it is still misty and cloudy , as if above nine heavens.

Around the main hall, Taoist priests in green clothes would sit cross-legged on the ground at regular intervals to protect the Dharma. <, the plan for a day lies in Yin. According to the Tao of Changsheng, Yin time is the time when the aura of heaven and earth is most abundant. Breathing out at this time is of great help to the cultivation of Taoism and longevity, so His Majesty the Emperor will start from Yin time every day and stick to it. One and a half hours of practice.

In the Purple Jade Hall, apart from His Majesty the Emperor who is the most conspicuous in the middle, there is another person who is also quite conspicuous. This person lives in the Bajiao Terrace just east of him. He has a childlike face and white hair and beard. At first glance, he looks close to a hundred, but his The skin is as delicate as a baby, and amidst the green smoke, it looks like a fairy.

There was silence in the Ziyu Great Hall, suddenly a Taoist bowed and came in from the outside, with very light steps, holding a jade plate in his hand, a small gold box of pure gold was placed in the middle of the jade plate, and came to the old Taoist priest, Leaning closer and whispering a few words, the old Taoist priest nodded slightly, and got up. He got up very elegantly, took the jade plate, and signaled the young Taoist priest to back down.

After the little Taoist retreated, the old Taoist walked to the edge of the octagonal jade platform in the central yang, bowed and said, "Congratulations to Zhenjun, congratulations to Zhenjun!"

The emperor kept his legs crossed, opened his eyes, and asked, "Why did Xuanzhen Daozong make such a statement?"

The old Taoist Xuanzhen Daozong smiled and said: "Zhenjun, there is a vision in the sky today, and the capital is covered with fog. This is a sign of good luck!"

"Oh?" The emperor was obviously very interested, "Xuanzhen Daozong, what do you say about the fog in the capital?"

Xuanzhen Daozong said solemnly: "People follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature. A true monarch cultivates the Tao earlier than Bigu, and it is entering the period of harmony. Fog in April is the unity of heaven and law." , indicating that there is a state of integration, Pindao thought that the cultivation base of the true monarch will soon enter the integration period, so that he is one step away from Yuanying."

The emperor's face showed joy, and his voice was a little excited: "Xuanzhen Daozong, what do you mean to say, this Lord is about to reach the stage of harmony, and then he can enter the Nascent Soul?"

Xuanzhen Daozong nodded, "If the fusion period is the same, it will prolong your life. If you step into Yuanying, you can live forever. The true monarch has only a few years, and his cultivation is like flying. The poor Taoist really admires it. This also shows that the true monarch It is indeed related to Taoism, and it is the true sect of my Taoism." Holding up the jade plate slightly, "True Monarch's sacred body cultivation, coupled with the Tianyuan Waidan refined by the poor Taoist, it will surely enter Yuanying Changsheng sooner or later."

The emperor beckoned and said, "Bring it to me and take it!"

Xuanzhen Daozong walked up the stone steps and presented the jade plate. The emperor opened the lid of the golden box, stretched out two fingers, and twisted out a purple elixir from the box. Without hesitation, he threw it into the mouth, took it, and closed it. After adjusting my breath for a while, I opened my eyes again and said: "I have recently felt that my body is full of energy, and I seem to be floating. I think it is time to enter the integration period."

Xuanzhen Daozong respectfully said: "That's exactly the case. Pindao recently watched the aura of the true monarch, but he also has the aura of the law. Today, the capital is covered with fog, and the heaven and law are compatible. The air blends."

The emperor was very happy, and said with a smile: "If you have meritorious service, I will reward you greatly. Xuanzhen Taoist sect, after entering the Yuanying, you can live forever. If you have completed the Yuanying, can you continue to practice?"

Xuanzhen Taoist said solemnly: "Cultivating longevity is the main purpose of the Dao of Longevity, but longevity is not the ultimate shore. The reason for longevity is ultimately to cultivate immortals and achieve Taoism." Forming alchemy, distracting the mind, crossing the calamity, and Mahayana, that is the real king can cultivate the immortal body, live the same life as the heaven and the earth, and be vertical in the nine heavens!"

"Hahahaha...!" The emperor clenched his fists and said loudly, "Since I practice Taoism, I not only seek longevity, but also immortality."

Xuanzhen Daozong hurriedly said: "Zhenjun, before entering the Yuanying, the place where the Zhenjun practiced must be moved to another place. The aura of the Ziyu Hall will be exhausted. If you continue to practice, it will be very difficult."

The emperor smiled and said: "I understand this. Tongtian Temple is under construction, and I will let them speed up the construction. It will be completed within a year."

Xuanzhen Daozong said: "The true king is wise. Taoists practice Taoism, there are caves and blessed places, ten caves, 36 small caves, and 72 blessed places. The site of Tongtian Temple, which Pindao once observed, is the left god Youxutian among the ten caves. If the site of Tongtian Hall is completed, then Zuo Shenyouxutian is the Taoist place of the True Monarch, where there is abundant spiritual energy, and it will definitely help the True Monarch cultivate Taoism and become immortal!"

The emperor looked very happy, and asked: "Now I am taking Tianyuan Waidan, if it enters the integration period, do I need to change it?"

Xuanzhen Daozong nodded and said: "That's right. Tianyuan Waidan is an auxiliary pill in the bigu period. When entering the fusion period, you need to take the Sanshenglingdan. Pindao has already started to prepare the refining of the Sanyuanlingdan, but...! "

"But what?"

"However, the three-element elixir is a Taoist elixir. To refine the three-element elixir, you need the immortal herb Ganoderma lucidum, and the medicine stone is also extremely difficult to find. I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money."

The emperor immediately said: "I am rich in the world, and I am sitting in the world. You can make alchemy, and the people of the world will naturally help me to become a fairy." The most important thing is to live forever and achieve the Tao. In the whole world, there is no more important thing than this. You do your best to help me cultivate, and don't worry about other things!"
