Reincarnation of the Heavens: Starting from Hong Kong Comprehensive

Chapter 308: Taoist Meng has a strange life experience

In the second year of Yifeng, the boundary of Runzhou was reached.

In a Taoist temple, Meng Fan slowly opened his eyes.

Outside the window, half of the setting sun hung slanting on the ridge, and red-hot clouds scattered in the sky. The Maoshan Sect, which became famous in the world in later generations and was known as the first blessed place, is located here.

If Feng Xu Yufeng looked down at this place from a high place, he would find that there are not many palaces here, only three entrances at most——

Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace would not be completed until the Ming Dynasty nearly a thousand years later.

In this year, the eleventh generation master of our sect was called a god by Emperor Li Zhi and Queen Wu Zetian, and they were invited to the palace many times.

"My master is about to ascend. You can no longer be contaminated by the aura of the mortal world. You can go on my behalf."

"Yes, Master."

The sound of conversation echoed in my ears.

This is Meng Fan recalling that he wanted to go to Chang'an, the imperial capital, for his master. After agreeing to do this, the current master of the sect chose to stay in seclusion and wait for the opportunity to ascend.

"Those who hide armor secretly are guilty of treason!"

"The lion armor will not be taken away from the Taoist temple. Even if it is a set of magic weapons, it is difficult to explain clearly."

"The Qinglong Yanyue Sword is temporarily stored here."

After all, this was not his first time traveling through time. No matter how agitated Meng Fan's mood was, it did not affect his correct judgment.

Soon.

The sun sets and the sky is filled with stars.

A young Taoist priest walked slowly down the mountain. He looked ordinary, but in fact he could reach three to four feet in one step, as if he had the magical power to shrink the ground into an inch.

"Stepping into the mountain gate, the paths of immortal birds are divided."

"Fishing and woodcutters are not everywhere, and elk are in herds."

“Water bursts out from the stone surface, and pine heads break through the clouds.”

"Under the stars and the moon, the Taoist greets Mr. Mao one after another."

The stream meanders in the misty forest, dotted with acres of thin fields, Meng Fan steps into the billowing world of mortals...

As he sang, his mind gradually calmed down, and he began to think that the identity of this world was not simple.

Maoshan's inheritance can be traced back to ancient times. During the pre-Qin period, Guo Sichao, a native of Yan State, practiced in Yuchen Temple, and Li Mingzhen practiced in the ancient alchemy academy.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Master Ge Tianshi practiced at Baopu Peak in Maoshan Mountain and wrote books.

[Qin and Han Dynasties Immortal Mansion, Liang and Tang Prime Ministers’ Homes]

The Maoshan Heritage Association reached its peak in the Tang and Song dynasties. If this trip goes well, and according to the general trend of history, he will be respected as the imperial master of the three dynasties.

After all, in this world, he was the only direct disciple of the 11th Grandmaster. He entered the court as his master, explained the mysterious method to the emperor and queen, and continued the glory of the 12th Grandmaster in the original history.

A few years later, Li Bai, who was known as the banished immortal, also had to follow the path of Maoshan Sect, met the Taoist Princess Yuzhen, and then found the position of Hanlin bachelor.

Later, Li Longji, Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty, personally worshiped the Maoshan Sect, received the Qing Jue, and became a Maoshan Taoist priest...

A long way to go.

In addition, Meng Fan, who had sacrificed a series of luck objects, successfully obtained a new identity.

The mother clan comes from the Wenshui and Wu clan, but is far away from Empress Wu. It is the blood of the warrior Xun Zhong's brother Taimiao.

The so-called Zhong brother is also the second brother.

"Zuo Zhuan·Zhao Gong 26th Year" says:

Only Bo Zhongshu Ji took pictures of it.

Uncle Ji has thus become the ranking among the brothers. As for the names of the fifth and sixth laos, Meng Fan, a scumbag, does not yet know. "What room for maneuver does this identity have?"

"People outside the country don't want to get promoted and get rich. As for the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism..."

Thinking of this, Meng Fan suddenly paused. According to the current way of development, he will stay in this world for a long time, so it will inevitably be involved in the subsequent orthodoxy dispute.

It is true that with the change of Shenlong and the restoration of Li Tang, Taoism will return to its rightful place.

But Wu Zhou's dynasty was too difficult. Could it be that he really wanted to stay behind closed doors and ask fellow Taoists from all walks of life to recite Huang Ting behind closed doors and let those thieves make trouble?
Empress Wu believed in Buddhism!

When he becomes emperor in the future, he will also have to rely on Buddhism to build momentum and constantly suppress Taoism.

Thinking of this, Meng Fan's expression became more solemn.

By recalling the past, he has realized that the controversial empress in later generations has now become a success.

Because in the first month of the second year of Linde, that is, ten years ago, Emperor Li Zhi granted Zen to Mount Tai——

In this era, the so-called Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty had not yet appeared and ruined Feng Chan.

(Under the pressure of Kou Zhun, Song Zhenzong went to the front line to supervise the war. As a result, he reached a humiliating Chanyuan Alliance with the Liao Kingdom. Every year, he had to give money and gifts to foreigners just like he supported his father.)
In the Tang Dynasty, emperors in the past dynasties rarely performed this ritual. Previously, only Emperor Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Guangwu had made great achievements and came here to enshrine Zen.

Relying on the contribution of destroying Western Turks, Baekje, Goguryeo and other countries and expanding the territory of the Tang Dynasty to the extreme, civil and military officials requested Emperor Li Zhi to grant Zen status.

On that day, the emperor's relatives, the concubines of the Sixth Palace, hundreds of officers and soldiers, governors of various states, and governors all accompanied him.

The spectators ranged from Goryeo in the east to Persia in the west, including the heads of state and chiefs of the Turks, Khotan, Tianzhu, Wuchang, Kunlun, Wa, Silla and Baekje. Each led his subordinates and retinues. The tents in the dome were filled with cattle, alpacas and horses. the way.

People at the time said: Since ancient times, emperors have never been so prosperous.

It was at this ceremony that the Queen of Heaven walked up to the stage and governed the country for her husband. Because she participated in the whole ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, she became the only woman in ancient history to do this.

Emperor Li Zhi led the civil and military officials to pay first tribute to the Haotian God and the emperor.

Empress Wu Zetian led her concubines inside and outside to pay homage to God Haotian and the emperor.

At this point, the fate of heaven and earth has increased.

Thanks to this person, Meng Fan, who was ten years old at the time, was awarded a reward due to nepotism. He was given the official position of a fifth-rank court official. Although it was not a real job, it was noble enough.

In his memory, he had already entered Taoism at that time.

Thanks to this, as an outsider and with the master's profound Taoism, I was able to escape another disaster later on.

Fortune and misfortune depend on.

In the past, the Wu family had the merit of Cong Long, and he was one of the "Taiyuan Yuan Cong" appointed by the founding emperor, that is, the number one meritorious official, so he was rewarded in all dynasties.

However, limited by family status, except for a few founding heroes, the descendants have never made great progress. They can only serve as sixth-rank officials and are not in the center of power. They can only be regarded as big shots in one state or county.

Then, thanks to the Queen's influence, the Wu family came to power due to nepotism. Their sons, grandsons and great-grandsons promoted one person to a fifth-rank officer. If the previous four or five ranks, they would also grant two ranks to each of their sons, grandsons, etc. If they were a third-rank officer, Already here, awarded the third rank.

As a result, the descendants of the Wu family did not accept this feeling, saying that they did not like high-ranking officials and generous salaries, had limited talents, and did not seek high status. Now, because of the queen's relatives, being promoted is not honorable at all, but feels embarrassing!
Coupled with the fact that his slightly distant niece, Lady Helan of Wei State, was competing for favor and was deeply loved by the emperor, Wu Zetian was so angry that she simply planned to kill her clan members.

He captured Shanshi, the wife of his uncle's elder brother Wu Huailiang, into the Yeting Palace, whipped her head until her flesh and blood flew everywhere, and she died with nothing in front of her and her white back exposed.

The poisoning of the emperor's favorite niece was blamed on his two brothers, Wu Huailiang and Wu Huaiyun, who had the same grandfather, and they were killed. The direct descendants changed their surnames to "Viper", which symbolizes poisonous snakes.

To this day, some members of the Wu family are still exiled.

"Killing my sister and my brother, this woman... is very cruel, how can she have any Buddha nature?"

"Shameless flattery!"

"Thanks to the fact that the biological mother in this world had a close relationship with her before she died, otherwise some poor people will suffer in the future."

With a sigh, Meng Fan regained his aloof temperament, continued singing Taoist songs in the wilderness, and walked towards the imperial capital Chang'an.

"A crane returns from a thousand years of beauty, and condenses elixir into its head and clothes as snow. The stars and fairy words are heard by all, but it flutters its wings and flies towards the five clouds..."
