The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 207: What happened to the Bo family? The original accumulation of the Dao veins was bloody!

Unless he is like the ancestor of their Tianshi Dao, who, with just one sword, slew countless demons and killed countless wild gods, and relied entirely on his hard power to make the people of the world recognize his status as the "Tianshi".

Otherwise, no one would dare to become the leader casually!
Looking at the practitioners of the major Taoist sects today, they basically all have a source, either family inheritance or master-disciple inheritance.

The name Lu Ruchen was too unfamiliar to them. They had never heard of it, whether it was a family inheritance or a master-disciple inheritance.

Then how did he become the master of Shangqing Taoism?

Self-proclaimed?

"Master Lu is indeed the Taoist master of Shangqing Sect. I can testify to this."

At this moment, another voice was heard from outside.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Haoran and Zhongli Quan walked in with a swagger.

The latter casually waved the palm-leaf fan in his hand, and the soldiers around them acted as if they did not see the two of them and allowed them to come and go as they pleased.

"Mr. Sun."

Zhang Feng looked at Sun Haoran with some surprise.

Sun Haoran bowed and said, "Greetings, Immortal Master Zhang."

Zhang Feng bowed his head and said, "Mr. Sun, you are too polite. I wonder how Mr. Sun can prove it?"

Sun Haoran smiled and said, "I believe everyone knows the relationship between Sun and Shangqing, right?"

Zhang Feng nodded.

The Sun family and the Xu family also have some in-laws.

Many people know about the relationship between him and Xu Huangmin, which is so good that they are almost like wearing the same pants.

What he said must have a certain degree of credibility.

The look he gave Lu Chen also began to change.

The Shangqing Sect cannot compare with the Tianshi Dao, but as one of the mainstream Taoist sects, the status of its leader is only half a head lower than that of the Tianshi of the Tianshi Dao, and he is not much lower than the chief priest of the Shangqing Sect.

The Taoist leader of the Shangqing Sect does not need to perform formalities even when meeting the emperor.

Everyone greeted each other again.

Zhongli Quan still used a pseudonym, and it was obvious that he did not want to reveal the true identity of Shaoyang Dongtian.

After everyone sorted out their relationships, Lu Chen asked, "How are the arrangements for my disciples going?"

When he arrived in Xunyang City, he did not find any trace of Zhongli Quan and others. Logically speaking, Zhongli Quan and others should have returned faster than him.

"Shu Jizhen took him to Chaisang."

Zhongli Quan said: "There are masters in Xunyang City, so it is not convenient to arrange ordinary disciples here."

"Is there an expert?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows. Being called an expert by Zhongli Quan...how high of a level would that require?
"This Taoist brother is right. There are indeed masters in Xunyang City now."

Zhang Feng nodded and said, "The changes in Xunyang City are also due to this master."

"Oh? Who is it?" Lu Chen asked curiously.

"It seems that the Bo family's way has been reborn." Zhang Feng said with a somewhat uncertain expression.

"The Bo family is born?"

When Sun Haoran heard the words "Bo Family Dao", he couldn't help but frowned: "Didn't Bo Family Dao have been split up a long time ago?"

Zhang Feng nodded and said, "The Bo family has indeed been split up, but this person who appeared now has also displayed the "True Shape Map of the Five Mountains."

Sun Haoran frowned even more tightly now.

Zhongli Quan looked thoughtful.

Lu Chen looked at the few people and could roughly understand what they were thinking.

The Bo family Taoism was indeed a major Taoist school in the early Jin Dynasty after the Three Kingdoms period.

Because the founder of Bo Jia Dao was Bo He, it was called Bo Jia Dao.

It is worth mentioning that Bo He still has some connection with him.

When Bo He was in the early stage of his practice, his enlightenment teacher was Dong Feng, who taught him the art of Qigong, but that was in the early days.

Later, after Bo Heli came to Dong Feng, he became a disciple of Xicheng Shanwangjun and also practiced with Yu Ji...

It can be said that Bo He’s story is extremely exciting and he is an indispensable figure in the history of the development of Taoism.

In the early stages of the development of Bo Jia Dao, it belonged to the Three Emperors Sect. After Bo Jia Dao became independent, it grew rapidly.

Sects like the Lingbao Sect and the Shangqing Sect, before they had perfected their own Taoist structure, had inextricable ties with the Bo family Taoism.

The third-generation patriarch of the Shangqing Sect, Xu Mu's elder brother Xu Mai, was also a believer in Bo Jiadao in his early days. And Hua Qiao, the candidate for the second-generation patriarch that the Shangqing Sect originally planned to promote, was also from Bo Jiadao.

The same is true for the Lingbao Sect. The "Map of the True Shapes of the Five Mountains" that the Lingbao Sect currently has is not the original one. The original one has always been in the possession of Bo He. With the disappearance of Bo He, the authentic "Map of the True Shapes of the Five Mountains" also disappeared without a trace. That is why people now regard "Map of the True Shapes of the Five Mountains" as the true teaching of the Lingbao Sect.

In fact, "The True Shape of the Five Mountains" was originally owned by Bo He's Bo family.

The reason why Sun Haoran was familiar with the Bo family was because Sun Ce killed Yu Ji. The Sun family naturally knew about the inheritance of Yu Ji's disciples and paid close attention to it.

When the Bo family was at its most prosperous, there were people all over the Central Plains, both in the north and south, pretending to be Bo He, claiming that they were Bo He who had become an immortal and came to preach, in order to deceive people.

However, although the Bo family's Taoism was prosperous for a time, its rise was mixed with many foreign Taoist sects.

Xu Mai studied under Li Dong, the chief priest of heaven. Overseas Chinese once went to Danyang, Xu Zhi, the chief priest, to receive the Tao.

Those who originally belonged to the Bo family of Taoism can see that the divisions between the early Taoist lineages were not so clear.

Or to be more precise, those who have achieved success are themselves in a state of compatibility.

So it is, the Bo family's Dao is just like the Louguan Dao which rose rapidly but fell rapidly in later generations.

It's even not as good as Louguan Dao.

After prospering for an extremely short period of time, the Bo family quickly declined, and none of the second-generation successors became famous.

The Bo Family Dao did not grow stronger with the rise of the Shangqing Sect and the Lingbao Sect. On the contrary, with the rise of the two major Taoist sects, a large part of the Bo Family Dao was separated from each of them. With the disappearance of Bo He, part of the remaining part flowed back to the Sanhuang Sect, and the other part was absorbed by the Tianshi Dao.

Therefore, although the Bo family Taoism still exists today, it has become scattered and is no longer the mainstream Taoist school.

Perhaps some Su Shenzhu (the common name for Taoists of Bojia Taoism) will emerge and be quickly absorbed by other Taoist sects, or break away from Bojia Taoism and create his own sect.

This is the fatal flaw of the Taoist tradition that does not have a unified organizational structure.

When there is a good leader, the organization will rise very quickly, but if the organizational structure is not well arranged, it will fall quickly.

Sun Haoran pondered for a moment and then said, "The Bo family would not appear without reason. Did someone find Xicheng Mountain and find Bo He's inheritance? Or... is it Bo He himself who appeared in the world?"

"I don't know."

Zhang Feng shook his head: "When this person appeared, he was in the prefectural governor's mansion. He was also the one who quickly helped the prefect Zhao Wei stabilize his luck. I went to visit him after the war, but he avoided me. However, I can be sure that this person is stronger than me."

His words made everyone present frown.

Zhang Feng is one of the five chief ministers of Tianshi Dao, and his qualifications are very high. In addition, he is the younger brother of the contemporary Tianshi Zhang Jiao. Whether it is resources, skills, or divine status, he is the best in the world.

Nowadays, his cultivation has reached the peak level of Yuanshen Zhenren, which means that the previous generation of Heavenly Master passed away too early. Otherwise, he could compete with Zhang Jiao for the position of Heavenly Master!

There is no doubt that Zhang Feng is now one of the strongest people in the entire level of Yuanshen Zhenren.

The only one who can be stronger than Zhang Feng is the Taoist Immortal who is at a higher level!
"Bo He once achieved the state of the Taoist Immortality." Zhongli suddenly said.

Zhang Feng looked at Zhongli and asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you mean that Bo He has returned?"

"Even if it's not him, it must be someone who has a great connection with him."

This time it was Sun Haoran who spoke. He frowned and said, "It is not easy for a Taoist to obtain the position of the Immortal Taoist Lord. The conditions are harsh. Bo He has never had a successor. Now the probability of him appearing is very high."

“It’s just a possibility.”

Zhang Feng shook his head and looked at Lu Chen: "What do you think, Master Lu?"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen slowly shook his head and said, "There is too little information. I only know that he has the Five Mountains True Shape Map, and I can't be sure that it is Bo He. But if it is really the Taoist Changsheng, then the probability that it is Bo He is very high."

Just as Sun Haoran said, the conditions for becoming the Immortal Taoist Lord are extremely harsh.

There are only two mainstream ways to go nowadays. One is the path that many Taoist sects are taking, which is to integrate the Qingyao Zishu (the position of the god), and to reach the state like Lu Song, where the soul has been completely integrated with the position of the god, and there is no distinction between you and me.

The Qing Yao Zi Shu corresponds to the inheritance of the ancient gods' godhood. According to the calculation that the godhood is reduced by two levels after fusion, only when the soul is completely integrated with the Qing Yao Zi Shu can one become the Taoist of Immortality. However, this path is extremely difficult to take.

There are very few who can fully merge with the divine state while their physical body still exists.

Secondly, it is necessary to absorb the original energy of the cave.

This was the path that many practitioners took in the past when the Kunlun Cave Heaven, Penglai Cave Heaven and other four major cave heavens were not broken.

It is impossible that Bo He obtained the original energy of the cave heaven from Xinglin Cave Heaven, and he later became a disciple of two people, one was Yu Ji from Langya Cave Heaven, and the other was the mysterious King of Xicheng Mountain.

The two of them taught Bo He almost everything they knew, and they both had the potential to find a ray of the original energy of the cave for Bo He.

Of course, the possibility for Yu Ji is not great. After all, he is only a Yuanshen Zhenren and has not yet reached the level of Changsheng Daojun.

Bo He's qualifications are extraordinary and are recognized by bigwigs from all sides. No matter which of these two paths he takes, there is a very high possibility that he will succeed.

After Bo He, there was no longer any outstanding figure in the direct line of the Bo family. In addition, after the subsequent battle of the Four Directions Cave Heavens and Dong Feng's retirement, Bo He's network of relationships was almost completely cut off.

Therefore, if the person currently in the prefectural government is the Taoist Changsheng, then the probability that it is Bohe himself is also very high.

"It's useless to guess here. We still need to investigate in person."

Zhongli Quan looked at Zhang Feng and said, "Where is your Taoist priest now? Why don't we ask him to find out?"

Zhang Feng nodded and said, "Then I will go back and contact the old man Tianshi to see if he is free to come over now."

Afterwards, Zhang Feng left under the pretext of contacting the Heavenly Master.

After returning to the Tianshi Taoist Temple, Zhang Hui said, "Uncle, there is no need to contact father. He will not come."

Zhang Feng said calmly: "I never thought of contacting that old immortal."

Zhang Hui looked at Zhang Feng in shock: "Uncle...you said...you said..."

"Why, are you surprised?" Zhang Feng glanced at Zhang Hui.

Zhang Hui nodded stiffly and asked at a loss: "Why didn't uncle contact father?"

Zhang Feng snorted coldly, "Because he was the one who did it! Humph! Does he think I don't know?"

"Uncle, how could it be possible that my father did this?" Zhang Hui was shocked: "We can't just guess."

"You are still young and don't know the inner cause."

Zhang Feng asked: "There is a copy of the Three Emperors' Scriptures in the palace, but do you know what its other name is?"

Zhang Hui hesitated and shook his head.

Zhang Fengdao said: "It used to have three names. Yu Ji once called it "San Huang Nei Wen", Bo He once called it "San Huang Tian Wen". After it came into the hands of our Tianshi Dao, in order to distinguish it from the "Da You San Huang Wen" of the San Huang School, we called it "Xiao You San Huang Wen"."

Zhang Hui’s eyes were wide open, his mouth was open, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

The "Small Three Emperors Text" of their Tianshi Mansion is one of the "Three Emperors Inner Text" and "Five Mountains True Shape Map" that were the foundation of the Bo family's Taoism?

"Please stop looking so unworldly."

Zhang Feng glanced at him and said.

Zhang Hui quickly closed his mouth and said nervously, "But...but why is "Xiao You San Huang Wen" in our Longhu Mountain..."

"What else could it be? Of course it's because Bo He was killed by our Tianshi Dao."

Zhang Feng then used extremely peaceful words to narrate a terrifying incident: "You are the future Heavenly Master, you should know something. Why has our Heavenly Master Dao been so prosperous for so long? It is because we have been constantly absorbing the power of other Dao veins to nourish ourselves."

"Bo He's talent is indeed one in a million, but he doesn't understand what it means to keep a low profile. For example, Ge Xuan, even though he called himself a heavenly master, did not dare to create his own Taoist school. He only dared to find another way and create the Ge family's cultivation lineage. It was not until the generation of Ge Hong that he dared to raise the banner of the Lingbao School."

"Xu Mu of the Xu family of Shangqing Sect, even if he holds the power of Shangqing Sect, what can he do? In the eyes of my Tianshi Dao, he is just a reptile. He doesn't even dare to wear the title of second-generation ancestor himself. He first used Hua Qiao, and then Yang Xi. It was not until he was fully fledged that he and his brother Xu Mai and his cousin Xu Xun raised the banner of Shangqing Sect to compete with my Tianshi Dao."

"Even a genius like Ge Xuan and a powerful family like the Xu family dare not say no to Longhu Mountain. They have to discuss everything with Tianshi Dao. And Bo He, relying on his background of having multiple caves and becoming the Taoist of Longevity, wants to represent the Zhang family. Do you think our ancestors will let him continue to live?"

Although Zhang Hui is very smart, he is only an eight-year-old child after all.

After hearing such explosive news, I felt numb.

Zhang Feng did not continue speaking, but gave Zhang Hui some time to digest it himself.

But seeing that Zhang Hui was still not coming back to his senses, Zhang Feng raised his voice and asked, "Why, haven't you figured it out yet?"

"Nephew... nephew has figured it out."

Zhang Hui was awakened with a complicated expression: "So, Bo He was killed by our Longhu Mountain, and his inheritance has actually been in the mountain all along?"

"The true teachings of the Bo family have indeed always been in Longhu Mountain. However, we in Longhu Mountain are only adding fuel to the flames."

Zhang Feng said dimly, "When the Cave Heaven War began, my Heavenly Master Dao could not intervene, but Bo He stayed on Xicheng Mountain in Ankang. The King of Xicheng Mountain does not refer to one person, but a group of people! Wang Qun, Wang Fangping, Wang Bao... Wang Qun is a pseudonym, his real name is Wang Chan."

"Wang Chan..."

Zhang Hui's heart trembled again.

Wang Chan, Guiguzi!

Zhang Feng ignored Zhang Hui's surprise and continued, "Wang Chan has also been committed to finding the Gourd Cave Heaven. After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin unified the world, and the destiny was unified. Tiandi Xuanhuang suppressed the cholera. As the founder of Zongheng, Wang Chan was naturally a thorn in the side of the Qin Emperor."

"Therefore, Wang Chan faked his death and escaped, using the alias Wang Qun, hiding in Ba County, Hanzhong, and Ankang. He later stayed on a hilltop in Fenghuang Mountain in Ankang, which is Xicheng Mountain, which is where he believed the Hulu Cave Heaven existed. Later, this matter was known by several major cave heavens. Kunlun Cave Heaven and Penglai Cave Heaven successively discussed the Dao and sent Wang Bao and Wang Fangping to monitor him respectively."

"It was also because of too much coincidence. All three of them had the surname Wang and were of noble status, so their disciples and descendants all practiced under the King of Xicheng Mountain and passed on the teachings. Over time, King of Xicheng Mountain became a nickname for one person. In fact, Xicheng Zhenren was originally just a nickname for Wang Chan. After Wang Chan passed away, this name was replaced by Wang Fangping."

"Bo He was Yu Ji's disciple, and was born in Langya Cave Heaven. Langya and Penglai lived together. After Yu Ji died, Bo He went to Wang Fangping for help. The battle for the cave heaven started, and Bo He was lucky enough to survive the battle. He used the alias Bai He to continue preaching. After we found out, we killed him southwest of the Chan River and at the foot of Wuzhong Mountain."

Zhang Hui was silent.

Zhang Feng did not continue talking, but gave him some time to digest it himself.

As a future Heavenly Master, Zhang Hui must know many dark sides of Heavenly Master Dao.

Every Taoist lineage has its own dark side, this is inevitable.

Xu Mu, the third generation Taoist master of Shangqing Dao, secretly controlled the Shangqing Sect before he became the Taoist master. He could replace the Taoist master at will. At that time, the Shangqing Sect was a one-man show of Xu's.

Before Ge Hong, the Lingbao Sect's foundation was based on the Dao of talismans and the Dao of alchemy. The Ge family collected Taoist scriptures from everywhere to enrich themselves.

The Tianshi Dao is naturally similar. When the founder Tianshi first began to establish the Taoist lineage, he was called "Zhang Kou" by the government of the Han Dynasty.

This is the same as the original accumulation of capital, which is bloody.

"So, why did my father take action in secret?" Zhang Hui finally asked.

Zhang Feng nodded in satisfaction at Zhang Hui's answer.

Although Zhang Hui is still young, he has matured mentally very early and now has some of the demeanor of a Taoist priest.

Hearing this, Zhang Feng said, "It could be that brother has already known about the merger of Shangqing Sect, or it could be the news of Shaoyang Dongtian's emergence. Zhongli? Zhongli Yunfang? Haha, we in Longhu Mountain know a lot about the news of Dongtian. Although Shaoyang Dongtian claims to be a hidden vein, that was when the four major Dongtians still existed. Now, the remnants of the four major Dongtians are either dead or retired, and the few remaining ones have been absorbed by our Tianshi, Shangqing, and Lingbao Dao veins. It's normal for Shaoyang Dongtian to be unable to sit still and want to emerge. Now that Zhongli Quan has emerged and secretly controls Shangqing, it's normal for brother to think that it's a threat and take action based on it."

Zhang Hui looked at Zhang Feng and said, "So are we going to take action against the Shangqing Sect?"

"How can it be."

Zhang Feng shook his head: "Shangqing and Lingbao are different from some other sects such as the Bo Family Dao and Yujun Dao. It has been established for so many years and has not been destroyed for a long time, and it is becoming more and more prosperous. It is not that simple. The fact that there are many geniuses in the sect is one thing. In addition, they are probably related to Luofeng Liutian. Therefore, the ancestors' souls that exist in the Yin-Yang Dharma Realm have not been distorted. We can't destroy them. In this case, at most we can only suppress them from the side. Remember, when you can't completely eliminate others, you must learn to chat and laugh with them and be a fellow Taoist. After all, everyone eats from the same pot. We can only eat when we can eat their share. When we can't eat, we can't force it, which will easily ruin everyone's pot."

"Nephew understands."

Zhang Hui nodded, thoughtfully.

Zhang Feng became more and more satisfied with Zhang Hui's attitude.

My own brother has started to take action, intending to suppress the Shangqing Sect.

This may mean that his life is coming to an end. Otherwise, given his brother Zhang Jiao's lazy nature, he would not act rashly.

In this case, Zhang Feng also has to start making preparations.

Although Zhang Hui is young, he is the best successor of the next generation of Tianshi Dao.

Therefore, it is inevitable for Zhang Hui to become a Heavenly Master. In this case, even if some things are forced upon him and may cause some adverse effects, he still has to do them!

This is to be responsible for the entire Tianshi Dao.

And Zhang Hui did not disappoint him. After knowing some dark things, he did not behave like a child.

However, he did not see the pain hidden deep in Zhang Hui's young eyes.
