Chapter 205 Hunyuan Xingyi Tai Chi Sect——Wang Wenlong

Hearing this, everyone nodded. Wang Wenlong's reputation in Fujian was not small. If he could be drawn into the Trinity Church, it would definitely be a great benefit to the sect.

Lin Zhijing took the initiative and said: "Master was also a Confucian at that time. He later studied Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism and created the theory of the unity of the three religions before becoming the leader. Our religion does not conflict with Confucianism. Jianyang is a great university Confucian scholars, you don’t need to worry too much about joining us.”

Lin Zhijing had been following Lin Zhaoen for the longest time. When he spoke, everyone nodded, and everyone even began to discuss whether to accept Wang Wenlong as a disciple and accept him as a disciple under Lin Zhaoen.

Wang Wenlong was stunned when he heard this. He had also learned about the history of the Trinity Church before, and knew that the Trinity Church was actually developed by Lin Zhaoen through academic research.

Lin Zhaoen was originally a scholar. He witnessed the hardships of the city's agricultural, industrial and commercial operations at that time. He felt that those Buddhist and Taoist ideas of eating fast, meditating and not doing production all day long were not correct, so he began to study ways to transform Buddhism and Taoism.

At the beginning, Lin Zhaoen did not call himself a leader. He just had a strong sense of Confucian mission and studied "integrating the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and bringing them back to Confucianism" as a discipline. As he studied, Lin Zhaoen discovered that if he wanted to integrate Buddhism, As for the two religions of Taoism, Confucianism also needs to be modified accordingly. After many changes, a new idea of ​​the integration of the three religions was created.

Then Lin Zhaoen began to slowly accept disciples. He used a "Gen Bei method" to treat illnesses and save people, in order to attract lower-level believers. For high-level figures, he used the idea of ​​​​the unity of the three religions to preach.

His "Gen Back Method" claims to be taught by an unnamed master, but most of it is a qigong method that he summarized through his years of studying Taoist doctrines. It has certain effects on strengthening the body.

His theory of the unity of three religions was also quite attractive to intellectuals at this time.

After listening to his teachings, some monks and Taoists were willing to return to secular life and work hard. Some scholars who had no hope in the imperial examination or suffered from nothing to pursue in their hearts also became believers. The internal skills and mental methods he taught helped many people cure their diseases. His reputation among the people is also growing.

Lin Zhaoen gradually gained a large number of believers. Over the past few decades, he also transformed his original book hall into a religious community, formulated various scientific etiquette, and assigned disciples to manage the believer groups.

And his teachings became more and more organized. By the age of sixty, Lin Zhaoen already had a million words of religious commentary. He also expanded the "Gen Memorization Method" back then into a complete set of qigong methods, the "Nine Prefaces of the Mind Method".

Later, Lin Zhaoen had a dream one day when he saw the words "Xia Yu" written on his collection of annotations. From this, he was inspired to name his religious classics "Xia Yu", so the Trinity Church was also known as the Pope. It is called Xia Jiao.

Then the Japanese pirates were rampant along the southeast coast. Lin Zhaoen took his disciples to participate in Qi Jiguang's anti-Japanese war, protecting Sangzi, collecting corpses, and giving clothes and medicine. The reputation of the Trinity Church grew stronger and stronger.

Wang Wenlong knew that in the original history, although the Trinity Church fell silent for a period of time after Lin Zhaoen's death, it would develop further in the Qing Dynasty.

Because the theory of Trinity is very practical, it can be easily combined with many foreign ideas.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, some schools of the Trinity Church even combined Jiuxu Xinfa Qigong with modern medicine and opened free clinics, teaching Qigong to poor people while vaccinating them.

Moreover, Trinity does not require believers to become monks like Buddhists and Taoists. It only advocates eating fast when you can and doing good deeds when you can. It is very convenient for ordinary people to believe. Therefore, the influence of the Trinity Church will continue to exist in later generations.

These four people were discussing that they actually wanted Wang Wenlong to worship Lin Zhaoen as his teacher. However, Wang Wenlong knew that the Trinity Church would have a great influence in later generations. The four people in front of him would all gain godhood. If he worshiped again, think about what would happen in the Trinity Church in the future. I will also put up a statue for him, Duke Wang Jianyang. The scene is so beautiful...

But Wang Wenlong was really unwilling to join the Trinity Church because he knew that this religion would be very controversial in later history.

To put it simply, the Trinity Church advocates the unification of the three religions, so it elevates Confucius, Laozi, Sakyamuni and Lin Zhaoen to the same status and canonizes them all. The result is that it naturally offends all three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.

Moreover, after the Trinity Religion was organized, it was also a major hidden danger to the government. The status of this religion in the Ming and Qing dynasties was very vague, and it was attacked from time to time.

But at this time, Lin Zhaoen had not been dead for long, and the Trinity Church had not encountered any trouble at this time. Wang Wenlong begged others for help. He could not say that he was afraid of being implicated in the future, so he did not join.

Wang Wenlong's mind changed and he said: "To be honest, I already entered a Taoist sect when I was in the West. Although I returned to the Ming Dynasty, I did not dare to apostatize."

The four of them were quite surprised: "Dong Jianyang turns out to be a member of the Taoist sect?"

They didn't doubt what Wang Wenlong said.

Most of the Han people who went to the West would form religious associations in order to unite in the local area. They believed in all kinds of things. What Wang Wenlong said about not betraying the sect was also a rule in many huidao sects. Even if they had broken away from the huidao sect, many people Because the faith in my heart will still persist. The main missionary area of ​​the Trinity Church is along the coast of Fujian. The four leaders know a lot about the situation of the Western Chinese and are not surprised.

Lu Wenhui nodded and said: "I see, it would be hard to force Mr. to change his faith."

Zhu Fengshi asked curiously: "I wonder which sect you believe in, sir?"

Anyway, he had made up his mind not to join the religion, so Wang Wenlong decisively made nonsense: "Hunyuan Xingyi Tai Chi Sect."

The four brothers looked at each other. Zhang Hong, who had the most experience in preaching, shook his head: "I have never heard of this Taoist sect in Ming Dynasty."

Wang Wenlong said with a smile: "This is a small sect. It is nothing more than flexing your hands and feet and calling on everyone to keep fit. The key is to practice martial ethics, not to be clever, and to learn to do things for yourself."

"So that's the case. It also means teaching people to be good." Zhu Fengshi nodded and asked curiously: "Since we want to talk about martial ethics, then there must be internal and external skills and mental methods in your sect?"

Wang Wenlong has not seen what the inner strength of the Trinity Sect is like, and it is not easy to compile it at this time, so he smiled and said: "My sect also has some training methods, but before I start, I know that your sect has the Nine-Xu Mind I have never witnessed it with my own eyes, so the four sages here today can’t help but be curious, and want to see how magical your sect’s famous Nine-Sequence Mind Technique is before practicing mine.”

Wang Wenlong has been reading the contents of the Trinity Sect these days, and knows that the "Nine Sequences of Mind Method" practiced by the Trinity Sect is a set of internal skills. The Nine Sequences refer to the nine steps or levels of practice, but after looking at it, , Wang Wenlong can't imagine the effect of practicing this thing at all, because the description of this mental method is too fantasy.

The first sequence of the nine-sequence mental method is called the Genbei method, which requires practitioners to keep their own breath on the back to treat diseases and strengthen the body. The second sequence: Zhoutian, rotate the breath near the heart. The third sequence: Clear the level, the breath is swirling around the body. The fourth sequence: Jie Yin Dan; the fifth sequence: taking heaven and earth to collect medicine; the sixth sequence: Yu Yang Dan; the seventh sequence: using the body to heaven and earth; the eighth sequence: transcending heaven and earth, using the body to be too weak; the ninth sequence : The void shatters...

In the first part, Wang Wenlong could still guess that it was basically the path of traditional qigong, but later it became more and more exaggerated. In the ninth episode, he directly smashed the void and created a small universe... What fantasy novel? I can't imagine how to practice...

The four people present here are all masters of practicing the Nine Sequences of Mind Technique. After hearing Wang Wenlong's request, Zhu Fengshi was also happy to show it. He directly pointed out one of his disciples and said: "I'll teach Jianyang Gong all the way to memorize the method. It's easy to practice, so don't be embarrassed." "

Wang Wenlong saw one of his disciples who was in his forties walking out with a smile, then put his feet into a horse stance, and suddenly said "Hey".

Then Wang Wenlong saw the man's temples bulge directly. With a few more lucks, his whole body entered a red temperature state, and his muscles seemed to suddenly swell.

Wang Wenlong was dumbfounded. In just a few breaths, the figure of the man in front of him doubled in size. He transformed directly from a slightly strong middle-aged man to a Vajra warrior with bulging veins. Wang Wenlong believed that if he If you receive a punch from this senior brother, you will most likely be put to death immediately.

Seeing Wang Wenlong's surprised expression, Zhu Fengshi laughed loudly and explained: "The mind method is for practicing qi. It is not easy to show. It can only be seen by showing the inner strength externally." He nodded to his disciple and said, "Very good." OK, take it."

After a few breaths, his apprentice's upper body muscles shrank, and the veins on his forehead and neck gradually shrank, and after a while he looked like an ordinary person again.

"It's really amazing!" Wang Wenlong praised sincerely.

Zhu Fengshi asked Wang Wenlong: "I wonder if there are similar techniques in Xingyi Taiji Sect?"

Wang Wenlong showed no stage fright at all. He stood up with a smile as soon as he rolled his eyes and said: "What we in Xingyi Tai Chi Sect practice is a kind of Tai Chi. There are a total of twenty-four postures, divided into eight groups. The first group: starting position, wild horse point Mane, white crane with shining wings..."

Wang Wenlong was talking and fighting at the same time, and his movements were quite standard. Twenty-four styles of Tai Chi - In his previous life, before the college physical education exam, Wang Wenlong went to the school dance studio with his classmates to practice in front of the mirror for several days, and he got all the credits. .

He is absolutely confident in Tai Chi. This is a treasure of Chinese culture that will be promoted all over the world in later generations. His skills can always be compared to the Jiuxu Mental Technique.
