Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 349 Eternal Life (Part [-])
Chapter 352

Ge Hong knew the art of divination. When he met Ran Ming for the first time, he found that Ran Ming didn't have any worldly luck, and he was clean, as if he was not born in this world.

If the chessboard is destined, Ran Ming must be the son who flew from the sky.

But now, Ge Hong was surprised to find that in just one day, a powerful aura appeared behind Ran Ming.

Qi machine is something that ordinary people can't see or touch.

But in the eyes of a famous Taoist leader like Ge Hong, it is just like the essence.Ge Hong only felt that Ran Ming was bathed in the winter sun, which was as deep as the sky and as wide as the earth.And there was a faint dragon aura on Ran Ming's head, and this dragon aura was growing stronger and bigger like a towering tree.

Even Ge Hong didn't dare to look directly at him.

Ran Ming used this so-called divine punishment to tell Ge Hong that the Haotian in the teachings is not eternal, but humanized like a human being.If you trust him, you can get benefits.

If you don't believe, disobey or even dislike him, you will be punished.

The meaning of Ran Ming is quite simple. The only great god in Taoism is Haotian. Haotian is the same as the God of Christianity. Everything in the world is created by him.

Ran Ming, who is in the period of changing his voice as a teenager, has a hoarse voice, a little rough, and has a baritone magnetic charm.When Ran Ming talked about his "Tao", he unknowingly attracted many people in Ran's mansion, including maids, old maids, cooks, guards, Li Jingshu and stripes.

Taoism is the favorite of the Sima royal family. Starting from the Jin and Yuan emperors, all emperors have been deeply involved in Taoism. No matter the common people or the nobles, princes and nobles, Taoism has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But this kind of original Taoism only conveys one meaning, the belief can lead to immortality.

It is such a so-called temptation of longevity that has deceived countless high-level officials.However, because this kind of prosperity is not real after all, but like the moon in the water in the mirror, their belief is based on the so-called magic and panacea of ​​Taoism.

Now the spell is not effective, and the panacea has been proved to be a gut-piercing poison, so not only is Taoism no longer beautiful, but its status is in jeopardy.

Unknowingly, these people went from being novel and refreshing at the beginning, to being slowly shocked, and then devoutly worshiping.Ran Ming also didn't notice that Ge Hong's front yard was already crowded with kneeling people.Finally, after spending more than an hour, Ran Ming finally told the myth from Pangu opened the world to the myth of the Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns.

Ran Ming summed up all the gods originally revered as emperors in Taoism as the messengers of Haotian, the gods of Haotian.

What Ran Ming meant was to reduce complexity to simplicity in the new Taoist teachings.

Make it easier for people to understand Taoism.

Of course, Ran Ming's purpose is not pure. For an atheist, Ran Ming puts a lot of effort into improving Taoism because he definitely wants to use Taoism to serve him.Let Taoism become an accelerator for the rise of the Chinese nation.

Of course, these concepts are not perfect and need further improvement.After Ran Ming finished telling the myths and stories of the ancient prehistoric era, he began to put the finishing touches on: "Haotian discovered that human nature is inherently evil. Human beings who have been punished by heaven, and some people gradually forgot Haotian's punishment. At this time After all, there is a difference between people. Some people are still loyal believers of Haotian, and loyally support them. Haotian can't do what it did before, and take indiscriminate punishment on human beings. Creating floods and sky fires will make innocent believers After being hit, Haotian changed his thinking and changed direct punishment to persuasion. He sent another emissary of his own: Lao Tzu. Let Lao Tzu teach people, let people understand some simple truths, everything in the world has their growth Laws, people are divided into yin and yang, people should seek the way of nature, study things to gain knowledge, improve people's livelihood, explore the place of the avenue, and atone for their past. The meaning of life."

As long as Lao Tzu appeared, it would be difficult to make up what happened later. After all, there were already written and recorded records at this time, and many deeds were available in classics.Ran Ming thought carefully in his mind.

However, Ran Ming also has his strengths.It is the knowledge of more than 600 years.

Although Ran Ming is an atheist, he must have survived for 56 years in the era of information explosion in the later generations, and he has a little understanding of other religions.

Ran Ming is shameless plagiarism, such as plagiarizing confession and prayer in Christianity, which is basically equivalent to psychotherapy and a kind of self-liberation, allowing people to speak out their sins in a small dark room, which can relax people's minds, Mentally compensated and spiritually comforted.

There is also the saying after death, the Buddha said that believing in the Buddha can enter the Western Paradise, and God said that believing in Christ can go to the kingdom of heaven.In fact, Taoism is not without this kind of theory, but it is very one-sided and not perfect.The "Tao Ji Jing" and "Zhen Gao" (the author is Ge Hong) in the Eastern Jin Dynasty have already mentioned "ten caves" and "36 caves in the earth". Later, there were ten blessed places, 36 small caves, and 72 blessed places. .

Ran Ming just wanted to perfect it, and directly created a paradise, which is a place of nothingness similar to heaven and the Buddhist Paradise. Any devout believer may enter the paradise after death to enjoy happiness.Let Taoism also give adults a fantasy, a big picture cake.

The appearance of Lao Tzu is completely different from the classical records.Ran Ming put Jiang Shang's Conferred God Romance directly on Lao Tzu's head, making him a great god who entrusted heavenly soldiers and generals, civil and military immortals.Besides Haotian, Lao Tzu's status is supreme.

Then, Ran Ming changed the topic, and talked about the Spring and Autumn and Warring States according to history. Ran Ming said: "After the conferment of the gods, the Shang and Zhou dynasties were in turmoil, and the heavens fell from power. This is the Spring and Autumn Warring States. People in the world are trampled on mercilessly. Lao Tzu felt that his Tao could not fulfill the will of Haotian. After thinking hard and meditating, he sat down and realized the Tao. Then he met a man with a root of wisdom, Confucius. Confucius was enlightened by Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu asked Confucius to represent His will is to spread the great teaching of humanity. The most holy teacher, the teacher of all ages."

In the new Taoism, the great god is Haotian, then Laozi, and then Confucius.

Ge Hongdao: "But Confucius is the ancestor of Confucianism."

Ran Ming asked, "Is Confucius a student of Lao Tzu?"

Whether Lao Tzu was the teacher of Confucius is a controversial topic on the Internet in later generations. Sima Qian mentioned it in the biography of Han Feizi in "Historical Records".It also caused controversy. Ge Hong obviously read Shiji, and he couldn't refute Ran Ming's point of view.Ran Ming said again: "Confucius was enlightened by Lao Tzu. He didn't fully agree with Lao Tzu's point of view, so he founded Confucianism. In fact, although Confucianism and Taoism are different, they do not conflict. Taoism emphasizes self-cultivation, Confucianism emphasizes self-cultivation, family harmony, and peace. This is Taoism." sublimation."

Ge Hong said suspiciously: "But Confucianism is the only one, and it has tried its best to suppress the living space of my Taoist school."

Ran Ming rolled his eyes: "This is called blue is better than blue. Thousands of years ago, we still used bronzes and wore animal skins, but now we use silk and satin, and brocade clothes. The society is progressing, and technology is developing. If you can't make green out of blue win Yu Lan, that would violate the laws of nature."

Ge Hong was a little shocked. He didn't know what would happen if Ran Ming's remarks spread.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were all about orthodox disputes over who was the Lord of China.Of course, Ran Ming is not a professional scholar, and the ideas he put forward are too crude and full of loopholes.However, his novelty is better than that. Ran Ming raised the controversy between Buddhism and Taoism to a new level. Those barbarian gods and gods are all heretics, but those heretics don't give up and have always wanted to infiltrate the Middle Earth.Turn all the contradictions into contradictions between barbarians, Di, and China.

In the new Taoist teachings proposed by Ran Ming, Haotian is the only god, Fuxi and Shennong are the incarnations of Haotian in various time stages, and Laozi is the messenger of Haotian.The soul of Taoism is also the will of Haotian.Laozi led mankind to have faith, pointed out the direction of life for mankind, and told people that believing in Haotian is the only meaningful pursuit in life.

Haotian is the only god in this world.Although Ge Hong didn't quite agree with Ran Ming's point of view, he didn't refute it.

Ran Ming started advocating his Haotian monotheism again.Of course, a huge picture cake was also thrown out.Belief in Haotian free of charge can get spiritual solution and eternal life.Of course, the so-called eternal life is not the eternal life in the world, but the eternal life in the cave.The human body is doomed to decay, but the soul is indestructible.

But when Ran Ming talked about Taoism's paradise, his opinion came out.According to Ran Ming's description, this paradise is like the paradise of Buddhism and the heaven of Christianity.However, in Ge Hong's philosophy, Dongtian Blessed Land is the place where all immortals live. "Dongtian" means that there are caves in the mountains that lead to the sky and pass through the mountains.

But Ge Hong said: "The righteous gods cultivate in the mountains, the sky, the earth, and the water are all soaked with immortal energy, and the fairyland is also "formed by the accumulation of energy", all of which grow sesame grass, which is not only used for compound medicine, but also to avoid great disasters for soldiers. "

Of course Ran Ming knows that in the Taoist classics, such as "Baopu Zi Nei Pian" and "Zhen Gao" written by Ge Hong, it is said that if you want a god, you must climb a mountain to beg, live in a mountain, or combine medicines.As a result, Ge Hong's ideas have influenced countless Taoist priests, so future Taoist priests will practice in the mountains to seek the way of ascension.

Ran Ming said: "As a religion, if you really practice transcendence, you will lose the space for living. If there is no room for living, how can it be believed by the world? How many people have been able to achieve Taoism and immortality since ancient times?"

Ran Ming's repeated questions left Ge Hong speechless.

Ran Ming said: "The Buddha said, put down the butcher's knife, and you can become a Buddha immediately. But can you really put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha?"

Ran Ming shook his head and said, "I know this is not enough to become a Buddha. If you just put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha, the Buddhist Buddha is not worth much. This is just a moving slogan to deceive the ignorant people. But my Taoist teachings Among them, if you believe in Haotian, you can truly become a flying immortal and live forever."
