Chapter 406 The story Zhen Yu and Zhang Daoling have to tell
Thinking of this, Liu Jin shook his head, it should just be the same name.
Bajun is thousands of miles away from here. What does the witch Zhang Xiu do here? Is he full?
To put it bluntly, even if this Zhang Xiu is that Zhang Xiu, it doesn't matter to Liu Jin. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, then the other party is a good Taoist priest.
If you are restless, it doesn’t matter if you are Zhang Xiu or Zhang Liang, give him a good beating first.
Zhen Yu and Zhang Xiu were having a lively chat over there. They were both Taoist priests and had many topics in common. Zhen Yu also invited the other party to sit down and have something to eat and warm up by the fire.
Zhang Xiu had put down his guard and obeyed happily.
"Xiao Zhang, I see something familiar between your features. I wonder what your relationship is with Master Zhang Daoling and Zhang Tianshi."
Zhen Yu looked at Zhang Xiu's face carefully, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Zhang Xiu's mouth opened wide, he was completely confused, and then he asked cautiously: "Senior, do you know Zhang Tianshi?"
Not to mention Zhang Xiu, even Liu Jin was a little dumbfounded. He still knew the name of the founder of Taoism, Zhang Daoling of Longhu Mountain, and Zhang Tianshi. That would be the object of worship thousands of years later. Anyway, he was more famous than his own master. .
I just didn't expect that the master actually knew Zhang Daoling. This way is really a bit wild. He has made friends all over the world. Well, this is really not bragging.
Zhen Yu saw memories in his eyes, and said slowly: "We had contact with him decades ago. Speaking of which, Zhang Tianshi still has a half-teacher relationship with me."
After lying down, Liu Jin was stunned and turned around. He could actually be related to Zhang Daoling. In terms of seniority, he had to call Zhang Daoling Grand Master. It was so outrageous.
Zhang Xiu stood up quickly and bowed respectfully to Zhen Yu, but it was the courtesy of a junior to an elder.
"I didn't expect that Xiaodao and my senior are still old friends. Zhang Tianshi is my direct grandfather, and Zhang Xiu has met my uncle."
Zhang Xiu's eyes were bright, and he saw that Zhen Yu was getting closer to him. He originally thought that they were just people of the same profession, but he didn't expect that they actually had such a connection.
"After it turned out that we were old friends, I said that they looked familiar. Come and sit down. You're welcome." Zhen Yu saw that Zhang Xiu also got a little closer. This is called Aiwujiwu.
After chatting for a few more words, Zhen Yu asked hesitantly: "By the way, how is your grandfather doing now?"
In fact, Zhen Yu wanted to ask if he was still alive, but the words were a bit unpleasant, so he changed his words. The main reason was that he really didn't pay much attention to Zhang Daoling's news later.
"Uncle Shi, my grandfather ascended thirty years ago at the age of one hundred and twenty-three, but I was still young at the time and didn't have much of an impression."
Zhang Xiu sighed, and there was no trace of sadness on his face. On the one hand, he was not impressed, but on the other hand, at the age of one hundred and twenty years old, he would look quite explosive no matter where he was.
"Oh, I ascended, what a pity, what a pity!"
Zhen Yu exudes an aura of loneliness. For such a person, it would be fine even if he did not step into the path of immortality and could experience the magic of immortality. It is a pity that he died thirty years early. God's will is like a knife, and he has no control over it.
"My condolences, uncle." Zhang Xiu tried to persuade him, but his expression was a little weird. I am the one who kissed you. How could this feel like the other way around?
Liu Jin was dizzy the whole time. Zhang Daoling was actually dead. It was a pity. Oh, he lived to be 123 years old, so it would be fine.
In this era, how many people don't even live a fraction of Zhang Daoling's life? One hundred and twenty-three years old is not a loss. He belongs to the small group of people who live long lives. Death is also a joy and mourning.
"Master, tell us about Zhang Tianshi." Liu Jin became interested. It would be a lie to say he was not curious about such a close contact with such a legendary figure.
Zhen Yu rolled her eyes at Liu Jin angrily. Why didn't you see that you were interested in my experience? But after thinking about it, she said: "This matter has been a long time ago..."
Zhang Daoling, formerly known as Zhang Ling, is the eighth grandson of Zhang Liang, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Daoling's father, Zhang Dashun, has always been fascinated by the magic of immortals.
So he gave birth to a son and named him "Ling". He hoped that his son could follow his ancestors, stay away from the world, and climb the mausoleum to become an immortal.
As for Zhang Daoling, he was also very smart. He was extremely intelligent since he was a child and could read the Tao Te Ching at the age of seven.
Later, when I was studying in school, I had a thorough understanding of the Five Classics, astronomy, geography, and Heluo Prediction (chen has four tones but three tones, to put it simply, it means theology).
However, Zhang Daoling was influenced by his father since he was a child. He often lamented that the books he read could not solve the problem of life and death, so he abandoned Confucianism and studied the way of immortality.
Later, Zhang Daoling simply stopped serving as an official. He resigned and lived in seclusion in Beimang Mountain in Luoyang, concentrating on studying Taoism.
Emperor Zhang and Emperor He successively recruited Zhang Daoling to serve as Taifu, Marquis of Ji County, etc., but Zhang Daoling declined all of them. He did not want to be an official. He just wanted to live forever.
After that, Zhang Daoling began to travel around famous mountains and rivers, visiting Taoism and seeking immortality.
When he came to a place called Yunjin Mountain, Zhang Daoling settled in a cottage on the mountain. Because Yunjin Mountain has beautiful mountains and clear waters and quiet scenery, it was the habitat of ancient immortals.
So Zhang Daoling built an altar on Yunjin Mountain to refine elixirs. No one knew what elixir he was refining, but three years later when the elixir was completed, dragon and tiger phenomena appeared in the sky, so Yunjin Mountain was called Longhu Mountain.
When Zhang Daoling was sixty years old, he heard that the people in Sichuan were honest and kind and could be taught easily, and that the rash in Bashu was harmful to the human body and the people were suffering from diseases and disasters. He moved to Shu without saying a word, preaching on the one hand, and To help the people.
Then one day, Zhang Daoling had a dream. He dreamed that Taishang Laojun came in person and taught him Taoism. Of course, it was more likely that he was thinking about it day by day and dreaming about it at night.
In short, Zhang Daoling's merits and virtues are complete, and he has achieved enlightenment.
After that, Zhang Daoling seemed to be cheating. He wrote many Taoist books, Taoist teachings, and Taoist scriptures, founded Taoism, respected Laozi as the ancestor, took "Tao" as the highest belief, and established a formal religious organization "Zhengyi Alliance". road".
Zhang Daoling also used talisman water and mantras to treat people's illnesses, and taught the people how to get salt. The people benefited from it and were willing to accept him as a heavenly master. Therefore, "Zhengyi League's Wei Tao" was also called "Tianshi Tao". His disciples Up to tens of thousands of households.
As for Zhen Yu, he is a complete replica of Zhang Daoling. He has traveled to famous mountains and rivers all his life, pursuing the way to immortality, but Zhen Yu's obsession is deeper than Zhang Daoling.
When Zhen Yu was young, he heard about Zhang Daoling's deeds and went to Shu to pay a visit. He studied Taoism with Zhang Daoling for a period of time.
However, the two people had different opinions on the way to immortality.
Zhang Daoling put aside his obsession and no longer insisted on climbing the mausoleum to become an immortal. Instead, he started saving people and accumulating merit. He paid attention to following the trend and not fighting for it.
Zhen Yu, however, advocates that "the great road is fifty, the heaven is forty-nine, and people can escape one of them." There is no dispute about how to find the "one" that has escaped.
The two of them sat and talked. Although Zhen Yu couldn't defeat Zhang Daoling, his obsession was his obsession. If you push harder, I will beat you.
In the end, the two broke up on bad terms, mainly because of Zhen Yu's bad temper. Since they have different ideas, what's the point of staying here.
Therefore, from then on, Zhang Daoling continued to teach his way, and Zhen Yu continued to look for his immortal, and the two never interacted with each other until death.
