Tang Dynasty: Starting from Kou Zhong, the heavens rise!

'What?Kou Zhong?Lord Chu! '

For a moment, everyone who heard this was stunned on the spot.

The Kingdom of Chu was established a few days ago, and the name of Chu Gong Kou Zhong spread throughout Jiangzuo. Longhu Mountain is located in Poyang County, and the people are more familiar with Kou Zhong.

Moreover, since the young commander army formed by Kou Zhong took control of Poyang, it has implemented many policies to benefit the people and clean up those aristocratic families that have harmed the people. The people have long regarded Kou Zhong as a god and are filled with gratitude. Who would have thought that Kou Zhong would appear today? Here, we have to take action against Tianshi Cottage.

Almost all the people were caught in an unspeakable tangle in their hearts.

Even Xu Ziling, who was standing below, was a little confused. Why did Kou Zhong suddenly become angry?

"Mr. Chu has come all the way, I am so polite!"

There was a soft sound like water droplets.

An old man in Taoist robes walked out of the Tianshi Cottage. His beard and hair were all white, but his complexion was ruddy, like a god.

The old Taoist priest tapped his toes lightly on the ground, and his body rose into the air. With each step, green lotuses grew under his feet.

A lotus blossomed with each step, and after seven steps, he suddenly appeared in front of Kou Zhong, looking at each other with his hands behind his hands, his expression gentle.

"Today, Duke Chu came to ask about the sword."

"As a master, I am a poor man. I will take care of myself first. Mr. Chu will watch!"

The voice fell.

The old Taoist priest looked down, smiled slightly, waved his sleeves, and his Taoist robes fluttered in the wind.

The crystal clear water of Luxi was pulled into the sky out of thin air and turned into a water dragon, stretching two thousand feet, entrenched in front of Longhu Mountain, lifelike.

Tens of thousands of people in Yugan County were all stunned when they saw the water dragon.

"There are things mixed together, born in advance of heaven and earth. It is lonely, independent and does not change, and it moves around without peril. It can be the mother of heaven and earth."

Suddenly, the old Taoist priest faced the positive sun, breathed into his Dantian, closed his eyes and meditated, and fell into concentration. His spirit was full, and his whole person was shining.

"I don't know its name. The word "Qiang" is called Tao, and the name given by Qiang is "Da". "Da" means passing, "passing" means far, and far means "reverse". Therefore, Dao is big, sky is big, earth is big, and people are also big. There are four majors in the domain. And humans live in one place, humans follow the earth, earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."

Every time the old Taoist priest recited a sentence, a wave of Qinggang rose from his body. At the end of the sentence, the Qinggang merged into the water dragon and turned into a sky-green dragon, clear and green. The wind and clouds in the sky moved with it. The dragon rose from the end of Qingping. Soaring above the nine heavens.

"Yan!!!"

A dragon roar resounded for thousands of miles around Longhu Mountain, shaking the hearts of the world and the earth.

The [-]-foot azure dragon entrenched on the horizon suddenly pounced towards Kou Zhong.

"Hahaha!"

"Good come!"

Seeing this, Kou Zhong laughed loudly with a look of joy on his face.

The black python suit all over his body fluttered in the wind, revealing his majestic appearance unique to Duke Chu.

This was the first time that he could feel the threat and pressure so close at hand, which made his heart, which had been dull for a long time, beat faster and faster, thump, thump, again and again, bouncing heavily in the heart cavity, with each beat. A huge stream of vigorous blood energy, like lead and mercury, is delivered to the limbs and meridians throughout the body.

A majestic burst of bloody smoke rushed out from Kou Zhongtian's gate point and shot straight into the sky.

On Longhu Mountain, there was heavy wind and rain, thunder and lightning, and countless spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered in the sky, forming large dark clouds.

At this moment, the dragon tooth knife in Koo Zhong's hand was unsheathed, and a golden light flashed. It was the light reflected by the dragon scales!''! said;?,7.;:!.704",":6.'?!2? '!?9'?!,:34.''!;Transfer to the group!".jun":!"?The sheep's awns are reflected.

"Master! Please!"

Suddenly, a loud shout resounded from all directions.

A majestic fiery red energy suddenly appeared in the sky above the Tianshi Cottage, blending with the blood and energy, and instantly turned into blood red. It was so powerful that it made people's faces change.

'Ten changes of horror, the tenth change, enlightenment of life! '

The majestic blood-red true energy covered the surface of the dragon tooth knife, turning into a thousand-foot-long sword energy, and slashed out boldly.

Life is like a dream, and once you realize it, you will know that the world has changed forever.

Bang! ! !

This sword collided with the Azure Dragon, causing boundless waves and shaking the entire Longhu Mountain.

Everyone unanimously supported the nearby things, and many people were knocked to the ground by the aftermath.

When I opened my eyes again, the dark clouds in the sky had dissipated, and the clouds and mist had dissipated, leaving only the blue sky. A bright sun was shining with golden light, bringing the warmth and warmth of winter to all things. It was really beautiful!

"Young people are to be feared, but they are worse than poor people!"

The old Taoist priest looked at the heroic young man in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

"The Heavenly Master praises you!"

Kou Zhong replied equally gently.

He had used all his strength in that sword attack just now, and his combat power was comparable to that of a late Grand Master.

But the old Taoist priest in front of him just raised his hand and was comparable to him. At least he was at the peak of the Grand Master. His popularity was integrated with heaven and earth. He was far from being comparable to the four old bald donkeys in Buddhism. The Zhang family of Tianshi Tao really had a rich background. Profound and worthy of being the leader of the Taoist sect.

.......

After a while.

In the Celestial Master's Cottage, Zhang Tongxuan, the 11th Celestial Master, greeted Kou Zhong to drink tea with a warm face.

The two of them got along quite harmoniously, but Xu Ziling found it baffling.

The old Taoist priest, whose identity does not need to be guessed, said with a kind look and a smile:

"Everyone in the world knows that the domineering nature of Duke Chu is like the true body of a red dragon, which can be destroyed at every turn."

"Little did they know that the Duke of Chu had a detached mind, and only then did he make a shocking move."

"We at Longhu Mountain have not cared about worldly affairs for many years and have practiced Taoism behind closed doors. I wonder what Mr. Chu means today?"

Zhang Tongxuan asked with a kind expression.

"Doesn't the Heavenly Master know?"

"If the Heavenly Master didn't know this, he wouldn't have had that emotional dispute with me in public."

"In less than ten days, the news about me asking Dao Longhu Mountain will spread all over the country. By then, everyone will know that I have offended the Tianshi Mansion."

Holding the teacup, Kou Zhong said meaningfully.

Xu Ziling on the side couldn't help but show a look of surprise when he heard the conversation between the two, so that's it!

Flicking his sleeves, Zhang Tongxuan said calmly: "It seems that Duke Chu has long known that Buddhism is just a face thrown out by Taoism."

"But Mr. Chu has already done what he has done, which has caused many people to give up their jobs and started to stir up the storm."

"In such a chess game, you are fighting against the sky, the earth, and everyone, and there is always a crisis."

"Why does Mr. Chu think that Pindao will definitely join in?"

"Ha ha!"

Kou Zhong chuckled and said calmly: "Just because I am of Han descent."

"Just because you, Tianshi Dao, have been hiding in Longhu Mountain since the Jin Dynasty, and have never interacted with any barbarians."

"All the clans in Guanlong are miscellaneous, while the clans in Song Dynasty live in Lingnan and have too much time to take care of themselves."

"Only in the world, the Great Chu established by me can have the opportunity to conquer the Central Plains and unify it."

"Walking side by side with the Chu State, the Tao of Heavenly Masters will naturally be able to sweep away the old scourge of the Taoist sect and radiate new buds!"

The voice fell.

The entire thatched cottage fell into silence.

Even Xu Ziling sat silently beside him, watching quietly without daring to make the slightest move.

Because, he has already felt that Kou Zhong and the old Taoist priest in front of him are playing a game of chess, using the world as the chessboard, and the aristocratic families, Taoist sects, demon sects, eight gangs and ten societies as their sons, to reshape the world and create a glorious Yanhuang.

"Hanzhong Tianshitang advocates Qingyang, the early stage of the great master."

"There are four grandmasters in Tianshi Hall and more than thirty first-class masters, and they have now entered Shu."

"Don't you think it's a pity, Duke Chu, that the beauty of Mount Emei has been ruined by the fragrance of heaven and earth?"

Zhang Tongxuan laughed and said.

"Hahaha!"

"You're such an old-fashioned guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes. You're definitely not a good person."

Hearing this, Kou Zhong couldn't help laughing and teasing.

Mount Emei has beautiful bells and souls, no matter how good it is, it is the first choice of the Taoist Master, but Mount Qingcheng is not much better than Mount Emei.

At that time, after Zhang Daoling finished writing 24 Taoist books, he arrived at Qingcheng Mountain, preached Taoism in Jie Mao, and became a disciple in the mountain. After the Jin Dynasty, Taoism in the mountain gradually became more prosperous. At its peak, there were more than 70 Taoist temples and 108 scenic spots. In the early Sui Dynasty, there was the Nantian Master Taoist Master. The sect of Fengtian Master Mansion took root in it.

If Tianshi Dao really wants to choose the most suitable dojo in Shu, Qingcheng Mountain is definitely the best choice.

The reason why Mount Emei was chosen was because Tianshi Dao was not happy with Buddhism entering the Bashu land, which they regarded as forbidden, and developing so rapidly.

Puxian Temple, Fuhu Temple, and Guangxiang Temple in Mount Emei are the entire land of Bashu. If the backbone of Buddhism destroys them, the remaining temples will not be of concern.

"Cough cough!"

Zhang Tongxuan was choked by him and couldn't help but cough a few times.

"Obvious and experienced."

"This is a small matter in Mount Emei. I came here today to talk to you about a big matter."

"If Tianshi Dao continues like this, it will really miss the opportunity. I don't know how many years it will take to revive."

"Actually, with your development to this point, it is no longer possible to unify the world's Taoist sects, isn't it?"

Staring at Zhang Tongxuan, Kou Zhong spoke word by word.

Later generations of Tianshi Tao missed the Sui and Tang Dynasties for hundreds of years. It was not until Song Zhenzong summoned Zhang Zhengsui, the 24th Zhengtian Master, and gave him the title of "Sir" that Tianshi Tao rose again. Even in the Yuan Dynasty, Tianshi Tao looked at Quanzhen. As the Tao flourished, he also put down his moral integrity, received rewards, and took charge of Jiangnan Taoism.

heard.

Zhang Tongxuan couldn't help but feel a touch of bitterness on his old face.

Since the Tianshi Dao was divided into the Southern and Northern Tianshi Dao during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it is no longer the world controlled by the Taoist sects led by their Tianshi Mansion.

Even if all side branches can be destroyed with 640 power, this change in thinking will only become more profound, making it impossible for the original Tianshi Dao to be passed on.

"Actually, the Tao of the Heavenly Master was not originally called the Tao of the Heavenly Master. It should be called the Tao of "Rightening the Power of One Alliance"."

"The so-called righteousness can cure evil, and one can unify all. This idea is not compatible with the current Louguan Taoism. In fact, it can be integrated with Beitian Master Tao, Shangqing Sect, and Lingbao Sect, isn't it? "

At this moment, Kou Zhong's seemingly casual words attracted the attention of Zhang Tongxuan, the 11th generation Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

"What Mr. Chu means is..."

Zhang Tongxuan, who was in his seventies, stared at Kou Zhong with his eyes widened.

"How about changing the name of Tianshi Dao to Zhengyi Dao?"

"The current Taoist group, with Tianshi Mansion as its leader, leads all Taoist sects in the world. The leaders of each branch of the Taoist lineage must obey the arrangements of Tianshi Mansion."

"The Tianshi Mansion will still be taken over by the Zhang family, and it will never change from generation to generation, and will continue on Longhu Mountain."

Kou Zhong said everything at once.

"Shh!!!"

Zhang Tongxuan's eyes immediately sparkled with light.

I have to say that this suggestion hit him right in the gut.

In fact, both the Beitian Master and the Shangqing and Lingbao sects from the Nantian Master respect Zhang Daoling as their ancestor, and most of the Taoists in the world also respect him as their ancestor. The name of Zhengdao is comparable to that of heaven. The way of teaching is much more appropriate and more majestic.

"What does Mr. Chu want?"

"Simple."

Kou Zhong shrugged and continued: "The State of Chu established a religious department, with the Celestial Master of the Tianshi Mansion as the religious director."

"The Religious Department is responsible for dealing with Taoist matters. If a Taoist priest breaks the law, it will be handled by the Religious Department."

"Under the rule of the Chu State, the construction of Taoist temples in Taoist schools was under the responsibility of the Religious Secretary. The Religious Secretary would also select suitable disciples to enter each Taoist lineage every year."

"When the Chu State was on an expedition to foreign countries, the religious ministers had to order all Taoist temples to send capable Taoist priests to accompany the army to preach in newly reclaimed areas and build Taoist temples."

"In addition, Taoist sects are not allowed to do business. They are allowed to retain part of their fields for livelihood. They are not allowed to seek personal gain through fundraising."
