Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 1103 New Year's Eve
Chapter 1114

Just when the Wei State launched its revenge on the plateau, there were also dark clouds under the peaceful central Sichuan at this time, as if the real murderous aura was permeating, it was so oppressive that people couldn't breathe.Speaking of religion, in fact, because of different ideas, there will be many factions.Generally, Christianity can be divided into three major denominations: Catholicism, Orthodox Church and Protestantism, but each denomination has branches.There are also many sects of Buddhism, which are divided into Theravada, which spreads in Southeast Asian countries, and Chinese Buddhism (Mahayana) and Tibetan Buddhism, which spread in the Central Plains.There are many sects derived from it. There are eight sects of Chinese Buddhism alone. One is Sanlun Sect, also known as Dharma Xing Sect; Xianshou Sect is also known as Huayan Sect, the fifth is Zen Sect, the sixth is Pure Land Sect, the seventh is Vinaya Sect, and the eighth is Esoteric Sect, also known as Shingon Sect.These are the eight major sects of Xing, Xiang, Tai, Xian, Zen, Jing, Law, and Secret.

As for Taoism, there are actually many sects, but in terms of the way of preaching, it can be divided into Danding Taoism of the upper class and Fushui Taoism of the lower class.During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Taoism was actually split into three factions, namely the Tianshi Zhengyi represented by Zhang Tianshi, the Maoshan School and the Lingbao School.The name Maoshan faction sounds a bit idiotic, but changing to "Shangqing faction" immediately became taller.

When Ran Ming and Ge Hong perfected the Taoist philosophy, they mainly perfected it based on the Lingbao School of the Shangqing School. The Tianshizheng said that Ran Ming didn’t have much affection because of Du Jiong’s relationship. The Maoshan Taoist Ran Ming still had a little impression. , so Ran Ming's Taoism is actually a combination of the Maoshan School and the Lingbao School, and it just excludes the Celestial Master, who has the most followers and the most powerful influence.However, Ran Ming really didn't know about Taoist Qingcheng Tianshi Zhengyi Dao, but Ge Hong definitely knew, but Ran Ming didn't ask, and he naturally didn't mention it.

In fact, the Tianshi Zhengyi Taoism in Sichuan is in the same line as Du Jiong's Shizheng Taoism, and has a broad public base at the lower level.When Taoism divided the big cake, it excluded Du Jiong's Tianshizheng from the core power circle of Taoism.However, the teaching of Tianshi Zhengyi in the middle of Sichuan was excluded from the circle of power, and the four celestial masters Li Jinyin, Li Laifu, Li Hong, and Li Gao, Qingcheng Zhengyi, were very dissatisfied.

But they didn't jump out to object at that time, it was because of Ge Hong's great reputation and high prestige, if they rebelled, I am afraid that without Ran Ming's action, Ge Hong could wipe them out with a decree.But after Ge Hong died of illness, the leader of Taoism was replaced by Yang Xi, and now the celestial master Zhengyi in Sichuan couldn't sit still.Ge Hong is the leader of Taoism, they have nothing to say, but what kind of onion are you, Yang Xi?
Li Jinyin joined forces with Li Laifu, Li Hong, and Li Gao, the four heavenly masters. Of course, they did not intend to rebel against Wei and overthrow Ran Ming. I am afraid that if everyone in Shu is added together, there is no possibility of success.The real purpose of Li Jinyin and the others is to show off their muscles to Ran Ming, and let Ran Ming know that "Heavenly Master Zhengyi" is the number one sect of Taoism.

Qingcheng Mountain is one of the five Taoist mountains alongside Wudang Mountain, Longhu Mountain, Qiyun Mountain and Jingfu Mountain.Although Yin Changsheng, one of the Eight Immortals in Sichuan, came to Qingcheng to preach in the late Western Han Dynasty, but it was Zhang Ling, the celestial master, who really established Qingcheng Mountain as the Five Great Immortal Mountains of Taoism.In the last years of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Ling founded the Taoism of Five Buckets of Rice, also known as the Taoism of Tianshi. Since then, he established Taoism, the first native religion in China.Since Zhang Tianshi, Qingcheng Mountain is the head of Taoist fairy mountains, and occupies a pivotal position in Taoism.

The sun is shining under the mountain, but at this time the Laojun Temple on the main peak is still covered with clouds and mist, like a fairyland.There is a huge rock in front of Laojun's view. At this time, Li Hongyi is wearing a white Taoist robe under the moon, wearing a high crown on his head, and standing on the huge rock with his hands behind his back.According to legend, Yin Changsheng, one of the Eight Immortals in Sichuan, ascended to this giant rock, and Zhang Ling realized Taoism here.Therefore, this rock is named Wudao Rock.

The mountain wind fluttered, and the Taoist robe on Li Hong, who was blowing it, danced with the wind. Li Hong looked at Qingcheng Mountain in the clouds and mist, his eyes were clear.Mount Qingcheng is a holy place where Taoist celestial masters are leading the way, and its status can almost be equal to that of a certain religion's Jerusalem.However, at this time, the situation before Tianshi Zhengyi was very embarrassing.

Although Zhang Lu, one of the separatist forces during the Three Kingdoms period, surrendered to Cao Cao, and his [-] to [-] Taoists were scattered all over the country by Cao Cao, but these dispersed Tianshizheng and a group of people spread like a single spark to start a prairie fire. develop.However, the development of Tianshi Zhengyi was hit repeatedly after Ran Ming's arrival. First, Ran Ming exposed the fact that Tianshizheng's elixir was called a tonic, but it was actually poison.As a result, under Chu Suanzi's thunderous suppression, the Celestial Master Zheng suffered heavy losses.To make matters worse, Sun En's rebellion wiped out almost all of Xu Yang's eight counties.Even the tens of thousands of Taoists who supported Sun En's rebellion at the beginning did not survive.

This is not what makes Li Hong most sad, but that the Maoshan School and the Lingbao School actually came from behind and gradually occupied the power of Taoism, which made Tian Shizheng very dissatisfied.In addition, some people contributed to the flames. As a result, Yizhou Celestial Master Li Jinyin and Qingcheng Mountain Celestial Master Li Hong, Heming Mountain Celestial Master Li Laifu, and Zitong Celestial Master Li Gao were offering sacrifices to Li Gao together.

Although Li Hong did not refuse Li Jinyin's call due to the friendship of the same clan, it did not mean that Li Hong had no ideas.Obtaining the support of those in power is the ideal shortcut to developing religion.Jiangnan Tianshi Du Jiong won the support of the upper class nobles in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so the Tianshi Zhengyi was also popular in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang Xizhi and Gu Kaizhi were actually followers of the Tianshi Zhengyi.It is Tianshi (Fan Changsheng, one of the Eight Immortals in Sichuan.) that makes Tianshizheng develop and grow together.
Li Te and Li Xiong, the rebel leaders of the Di tribe, established Chenghan, and Fan Changsheng went out to help the Li family to establish the Han regime, and was named prime minister.There are more than [-] believers in the official seal seal alone.But right now, Tianshi Zhengyi is on the verge of perishing.The first is Du Jiong, the celestial master of the southern sect, who was uprooted because of Sun En's rebellion, and the second is Kou Qianzhi, the celestial master of the northern sect, who put aside his general view and joined forces with Ge Hong and Yang Xi's ilk in private, which can be regarded as a betrayal of Taoism.At this time, not only Li Jinyin was full of resentment, but also all the other celestial masters and Taoist priests were also full of resentment.

"Rebellion!" It has almost become the consensus of all the Taoist priests in the whole of Sichuan. Anyway, since the establishment of Taoism, it is not the first time to raise the flag of rebellion. The Taiping Uprising at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty directly ruined the Eastern Han Dynasty. Of course, Sun En's uprising It also greatly damaged the strength of the Jiangnan gentry.Just when Li Hong was thinking about it, a boy came running from the mountain path.He hurriedly came behind Li Hong, bowed and said, "Tianshi."

Li Hong turned around slowly and looked at the boy.Li Hong is tall, about 190 feet [-] inches (about [-] centimeters) tall, with a slender figure.He was condescending, looked at the boy, and said softly: "Have you come?"

"Yes!" The boy said respectfully, "Teacher Jin Tianshi, Hemingshan Fu Tianshi, Zitong Jijiu all came and brought thousands of people over!"

Li Hongdao: "Is there any change in Chengdu? How did the 27th Division respond?"

The boy said: "It takes half an hour for our news to be transmitted. We haven't received any news about the change in Chengdu and the 27th Division. If there is a change, we will receive the news in half an hour at most!"

"No change?" Li Hong laughed suddenly, "No change, that is the biggest change. They have already stretched their pockets, waiting for us to jump down! Pass down the decree of the Celestial Master and closely monitor the surrounding area of ​​Qingcheng Mountain for a hundred miles. Immediately report any disturbance, close the mountain gate immediately, and closely monitor our guests. If there is no decree from the heavenly master, no one is allowed to step out of the mountain gate, and anyone who violates it will be killed!"

The boy saluted first, then bowed and retreated.

After a while, Li Hong said to the Taoist priest beside him, "Qingxi!"

"Master, the apprentice is here!"

"Invite the three celestial masters to Qingxu Palace, and my master will meet them!"

"Yes!"

Although Li Hong is not a politician, he is the smartest person. There are currently four divisions of the Wei State in Shuzhong alone.There are 20 divisions gathered in the surrounding area, and almost [-] people are all around Yizhou.Although the Wei State court claimed that it was to attack the plateau and Fu Jian rebelled, in fact, Ran Ming knew what was going on, Li Hong knew it, and all smart people in the world knew it.Even if Quanyi's army and civilians follow them to rebel, in fact they will not be able to change the world. Langzhong and Jiange are guarded by Wei Guo's heavy troops. They have no way to go north to Hanzhong, and they are blocked by the Bashu navy when they go south. They can only be trapped in the Chengdu Basin. , can't make any waves.

Ever since Li Hongqingcheng Tianshi Zhengyi, he deliberately kept a low profile. He knew very well that if Tianshi Zhengyi wanted to rise again, it must have the support of the court.And the best partner for cooperation is Emperor Ran Ming.In Li Hong's view, the rebellion proposed by Li Jinyin has no chance of success at all.

The believers of Tianshi Zhengyi are the confidence and strength of Tianshi Zhengyi, but these believers are first of all the common people of the Wei Dynasty, and secondly the believers of Tianshi Zhengyi.Ran Ming engraved a stele with the determination to "never add gifts!" to win the hearts of the people all over the world.The morale of the people belongs to the imperial court, and rebellion is courting death.Even though the officials in the Eastern Jin Dynasty were corrupt and the people were in dire straits, Sun En's rebellion was easily suppressed by the Wei army. Now I am afraid that without the court sending troops, the angry people in central Shu can demolish Laojun.

Li Hong walked down Wudao Rock slowly and walked towards Qingxu Palace, while behind Li Hong 24 young Taoist priests holding swords accompanied him like a shadow.

As night fell to Qingxu Palace, the four great celestial masters discussed in Qingxu Palace for nearly three hours, and fierce quarrels could be heard from time to time in Qingxu Palace. Obviously, the four people's opinions were not unified.

"Li Hong, you are really deceived by lard. If you don't know how to repent, don't force me to clean up the decree. Forget about your position as the head of Qingcheng Mountain!" Li Jinyin was the oldest of the four, and his status was very high. It is Yizhou Celestial Master who is teaching the Celestial Master together.His beard and hair are all white, like an old fairy in a god myth.However, at this time, he was so angry that he still didn't look like a god.

Li Gao also said angrily: "The eagle dog of the imperial court, how many favors have you received from the imperial court to betray Zhengyi?"

Li Laifu didn't speak, but his face was gloomy and his eyes were fierce!
Li Hong laughed loudly and said, "You are trying to cut off the inheritance of Tianshi Zhengyi. Our Tianshi Zhengyi has been inherited for hundreds of years, and it will be broken into your hands."

"You are the one who ruined Tianshi Zhengyi!" Li Laifu was silent for a moment, his eyes became serious: "With all due respect, you traitor, why don't you die!"

Li Hongdao: "Li Laifu, why are you yelling at me? You don't have the right to speak here. Get out of here!" Can you see right from wrong?"

"What's right and wrong?" Li Jinyin said, "Li Hong, please tell me clearly today!"

Li Hong said leisurely: "There are many doubts, especially now that we have such a big battle, with tens of thousands of people gathered in Qingcheng Mountain, it is absolutely impossible to say that the court cannot receive any news. Especially the rumors in the world, the royal special The guards are almost pervasive. No one can tell if there are any spies from the royal guards in our Heavenly Master Zhengyi. But the most abnormal thing is that there is no abnormal movement in Chengdu, and the 27th division has not assembled. They are still training normally today. .”

Li Jinyin retorted: "Our Heavenly Masters are all upright men together, and we didn't pick on the thieves! Besides, we have no choice but to shoot, now we have no way to turn back!"

"Can you lead people into Chengdu City?" Li Hongdao: "Even if you can enter Chengdu City, but after entering? The Wei army of the four divisions counterattacked, can you hold it?"

Li Gao bit the bullet and said: "Why can't we hold on? Wei Jun is also a human being. If he gets hit, he will die. Take a step back and say, I really can't hold on. Naturally, we can go into the mountains again, and with the supplies from one city and one place, how about it?" It will be better than the current situation.”

"Then you are doomed!" Li Hongdao: "Duke Huan had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and horses, but he didn't last for a year. Do you really think that the real enemies under your command can beat Duke Huan's army?"

Li Jinyin said: "Could it be impossible for the imperial court to suppress our Celestial Master? Besides, we are not fighting alone, we still have many allies!"

"Allies?" Li Hong glanced at Li Jinyin and shook his head, "It's no wonder they are reliable!"

"Could it just be like that!" Li Gao let out a sigh of relief: "I'm not reconciled!"

"Of course I can't forget it like this. In fact, I'm not reconciled!" Li Hong frowned and looked aside.After a while, he said: "I am not reconciled, but one thing is very clear. Only by making a good practice can we truly succeed! If we don't let go of our prejudices, I am afraid that we will not wait for the imperial army to come. When it comes to fighting, as long as there is trouble, why do you want to do it!"

"Okay!" Li Jinyin said: "Don't tell lies in front of the real person, and everyone must follow my orders, otherwise they will be regarded as traitors of the heavenly master, and today I will clean up the house!"

"Haha!" Li Hong laughed so hard that he coughed again and again. For a long time, his eyes were confused, his brows were slightly frowned, and then he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes slightly for a long time. "I don't know why the headmaster cleans up the door?" Li Hong stepped forward and approached Li Jinyin, and immediately shouted: "Dare to clean up Qingcheng Mountain? Have you asked me?"

At this moment, the 24 swordsmen behind Li Hong pulled out their Qingfeng swords neatly, and with a burst of clanking, the Qingxu palace was filled with cold light.As the Taoist priests behind Li Hong pulled out their swords, Li Jinyin became even more annoyed. Respecting him as a heavenly master, how could he completely tear his face like Li Hong?

However, Li Jinyin was not scared too much. When he came to Qingxu Palace, he brought 36 Taoist priests with him, and Li Laifu also brought 12 people, plus Li Gao 16 people. Sixty-seventy people, and Li Hong only has 70 people, as long as they do it, as long as one person can run out and notify the congregation outside, it is enough to eradicate Qingcheng Mountain.After all, there are only more than 25 people in Qingcheng Mountain, and they have a total of 7000 people, which is more than twice that of Qingcheng Mountain.

Li Gao hurriedly said: "Everyone has something to say, don't use swords or guns, it will ruin the friendship of the same family."

"There is nothing to say, the ways are different, and we will not conspire with each other!" At this moment, Li Hong strode out of the Qingxu Palace. As soon as Li Hong left, the 24 swordsmen and priests immediately mobilized.Li Gao and Li Laifu were both middle-aged, and their skills were quite powerful, but before they had time to fight back, they felt a breath of fear blowing towards their faces.Tianshizheng did not have the so-called Seven Star Sword Formation of Quanzhen Sect, but he also had a set of quite brilliant combined attack techniques.

Li Jinyin was well-informed and saw 24 swordsmen serving in groups of eight, forming the trio of cardinals. "What's the point of being a three-talented formation?"

The so-called three talents, according to "Book of Changes."Shuo Gua": "It is based on the way of establishing the sky, which is called Yin and Yang; , there is a very profound and mysterious formation inside, and those who don't understand the sword formation will often suffer a big loss. The so-called joint attack technique throughout the ages is to use local advantages to resolve the overall disadvantage. Although the reason is simple, the real mystery is not simple.

There was a sound of tearing and killing, and when the two sides rushed to fight, Li Jinyin suffered a big loss.Li Jinyin felt something was wrong just now, before he could react, he saw a cold light flashed, he suddenly felt his body lighten suddenly, and vaguely saw a headless corpse plopping to the ground, but this corpse seemed familiar .This was Li Jinyin's last bit of consciousness.
