Great Sui Dynasty

The Taoist; the nature of the way of heaven.Human beings are single-minded, moving and intangible, supporting all things.Road to Road, very Avenue.Taoism is divided into Lao-Zhuang School, Huang-Lao School and Yang-Zhu School with Lao-Zhuang as the founder. In particular, Lao-Zhuang School has no orthodoxy.The views of the three schools are basically the same. They all emphasize "quietness and inaction", pursue the way of health preservation, and escape from the world.

The Taoist temple on Zhongnan Mountain inherited the school of Laozhuang and Zhuangzi, and it is now considered the orthodox Taoism. It has a detached status in Taoism everywhere, and at the same time, many famous figures have emerged.

As soon as Yang Hao entered the living room, he saw a Taoist priest meditating, so he couldn't bear to disturb him and was about to leave.

"Your guest is the King of Qi. It's a great honor to be favored by the prince." The Taoist priest opened his eyes and said without any sleepiness at all.

"It's Xiao Wang. I just saw that the Taoist priest was contemplating enlightenment, and I couldn't bear to disturb the Taoist priest. I never thought about it." Yang Hao usually doesn't put on airs. Facing such a fairy-like person, There will be no airs, because the Taoist priest gives people a sense of affinity, so what Yang Hao said is very casual and comfortable, just like talking to an amiable elder.

"It doesn't matter to disturb. We cultivators pay attention to nature. When to sleep and when to wake up, everything is natural, and we don't deliberately force it."

"The highest kindness is like water. Water is good for all things and does not fight for it. Taoism is like still water." No matter who they are and what status they come from, it seems that this Taoist priest can't make a ripple in his heart.

"What the Taoist said is that Xiao Wang has been taught." People who have attained the Tao say something different, and the enlightenment of dozens or hundreds of years is not comparable to ordinary people.Later generations have repeatedly interpreted the "Tao Te Ching" and "Zhuangzi", and every word and sentence has been endowed with many meanings, but none of them are as deep as a sentence of a person who has studied for decades.

"Xiao Wang is also reading "Zhuangzi" recently. I feel about Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly. In my dream, I also dreamed that I turned into a ball of fresh air. After waking up, I felt that I created a set of boxing techniques. I am here to ask the Taoist priest for advice. Please Daoist priest, help me to see if it is in harmony with the way of heaven." There is really nothing that Yang Wei can show off in Taoism except Taijiquan, and this Taijiquan is also exchanged by Yang Hao if he can't find anyone.But when he saw this immortal Taoist priest, he wanted to take it out to see if he could give him some pointers so that he could have more insights.

"Oh? The old Taoist is also looking forward to the boxing method that the prince said is in line with the way of heaven." The Taoist priest looked serious, without the slightest contempt for Yang Hao, nor did he have the slightest disbelief.

"Okay, then Xiao Wang will show his shame in front of the Taoist priest." After speaking, Yang Hao began to perform a set of Tai Chi.

Just one movement made the Taoist brows tighten, and as Yang Hao's boxing slowly unfolded, the Taoist was also moved, and gradually became addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.

Taijiquan is closely related to the way of health preservation and nature, and those who have achieved the Tao can see the mystery at a glance.

Yang Hao had just finished a whole set of Taijiquan, when he saw that long brow from furrowing to relaxation, he finally showed joy.

Seeing the Taoist priest opened his eyes, Yang Hao just wanted to ask.At this moment, the Daoist moved, and even started to perform a set of Taijiquan, which was almost exactly the same as Yang Hao's, but the Taijiquan played by the Taoist had a natural feeling, so natural.

If it hadn't been confirmed that Taijiquan was created at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Yang Hao would have wondered whether people had already started to know Taijiquan in this era.

"Wonderful, wonderful, it's really indescribable. Every punch and every stroke implies the principles of heaven and earth, which are in line with the Dao. It seems that the prince must be a person who has a predestined relationship with the Dao, otherwise he would not have realized this boxing technique."

"The old way is Xuanqing. The prince should fly to ordinary people, or descend from a certain star. Since he has devoted himself to the emperor's family, he must shoulder the mission. I hope the prince will not abandon this understanding, and he may be able to prove the way in the future."

Taoist Xuanqing declared himself a family name, which means he recognized Yang Wei's identity. His unremitting admiration made even Yang Hao almost have no place to tolerate him, so of course it was hard to say it.

"It's just that there is still room for improvement in this boxing. After the old way has been improved, the appointed person will inform the prince."

I knew that this set of Taijiquan was incomplete. It has been passed down for so many years. It is impossible to say that there are no missing parts. After all, it cannot be recorded in words like an article. Record the entire set of actions.

Sure enough, the experts knew that there were flaws after just typing it once. It seems that this little-known old Taoist and Zhang Sanfeng belonged to the same level of great gods.

"Then I would like to thank the Taoist priest. No wonder Xiao Wang always feels that the rhyme is not right when he puts it together. It turns out that it is not perfect. The Taoist priest really has profound Taoism."

"My lord has won the award, and my lord's affinity with Dao is not low, otherwise I wouldn't have comprehended this set of boxing techniques. My lord's set of boxing techniques has greatly benefited the old Taoist to understand the way of heaven. I have to thank my lord." It's not a compliment, ordinary people can practice Taijiquan to cultivate their body and mind, and strengthen their body, so it is even more useful for practitioners like them.

Yang Hao and Taoist Master Xuanqing have been chatting intently. If he hadn't read the explanations of Taoism by many people in later generations, Yang Hao really couldn't handle it.

"By the way, the prince came here this time specifically to discuss the way of heaven with the old Taoist." Taoist Xuan Qing asked

"To tell you the truth, Xiao Wang came here this time not only to discuss the Dao with an expert, but also to find some people in Guiguan who can make alchemy or who are proficient in medicine and stones to help Xiao Wang. Of course, he can't do some things. It's against the way of heaven." Yang Hao finally expressed his intentions.

"Oh~, there are quite a few people who are proficient in alchemy and medicine stones, but I don't know what exactly the prince asked them to do?" If the alchemy is not done well, people will die. If ordinary people ask, it's just Yang Hao, a prince, came to ask, and it would definitely involve politics. Once Taoist temples also intervene in politics, if one is not good, maybe the Taoist will disappear.So Taoist Xuanqing had to take it seriously.

"Since the Taoist priest keeps asking, I can't hide anything anymore."

"The Taoist priest is a pure cultivator, so he will definitely not pay attention to the worldly affairs. Little does he know that the world will be in chaos, and the people will be in dire straits. Every time the world is in turmoil, the Taoist priest will not bear to see such a situation. show up."

"Although the Taoist school emphasizes tranquility and inaction, no desire and no pursuit, but it is not natural to ignore the creatures in the world?" Yang Hao asked step by step

"Xiao Wang is not talented, but he is willing to fight to the death to prevent this catastrophe." Yang Hao's face was full of righteousness. It directly dropped by two-thirds. The Tang Dynasty spent more than 100 years to cultivate and thrive. Until the Kaiyuan prosperity, the population did not recover to the population of the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty.

You must know that in ancient times, population was the first indicator to measure the strength of a country.China has a vast land and abundant resources, and the total population capacity is between [-] million is the optimal structure.Not to mention the tens of millions of people in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, two-thirds of the population disappeared in the chaos of the end of the Sui Dynasty and the Anshi Rebellion, and there were no people living everywhere.

"This, it's not that the old man is willing to see it, but he just doesn't know how to help the people of the world?" When Yang Hao said this, it seemed that if he didn't help, it would be against the Tao, and it would be useless for the common people in the world.

"The Daoist should know about firecrackers. Although firecrackers are suitable for play, they will become a sharp weapon for siege and plunder after improvement. It is conducive to deterrence and reduces wars, and the most direct thing is to let Xiao Wang end the situation of turmoil and division in a short time."

"Of course, even if the Taoist leader is unwilling to help, someone will still discover this sharp weapon in the future. However, the method of firecrackers was originally made by Taoists who made alchemy, so no matter what, it has nothing to do with Taoism. Let it develop in a bad way, it is better to control it well."

"I guarantee that as long as there is such a sharp weapon, Xiao Wang can end the turmoil as soon as possible, minimize the loss of life, and return the common people to a peaceful and prosperous world." If he doesn't help, then Yang Hao can only recruit people from the people.

"This, the old man has to think about it carefully." This is a matter related to the common people in the world, and it cannot be hasty.
