Chapter 440 Taoist Senior
Ye Feng laughed dumbly, "You, you have been so confused by these islands recently. Who would have thought that these ordinary islands in Jinshan Bay could have so many stories?"
"The treasures snatched back by the heroes have been brought to light again. This incident caused a great shock both among the people and the upper class. This is living evidence."
"Now another ancient tomb from the Tang Dynasty has arrived, and judging from the scale, the person who built this place is definitely an extraordinary person."
"Don't say you're surprised, even the old people who have lived in Jinshan Bay for generations didn't expect these things to exist here in Jinsha Bay. It's so shocking."
It's not just these that are shocking. The discoveries made by Yao Ziqian and Mr. Zhao add a bit of mystery.
After learning that Mr. Zhao had come out of the secret passage to rest, Han Xiaorui invited Mr. Zhao, Yao Ziqian and Wu Lingling to his home for dinner.
Today, I specially asked my godmother, Aunt Cai, to come over to help. Liu Huamei, who came back from overseas, also came over to help and work with the master.
Mr. Zhao was happily recounting his findings in the secret passage, "Xiao Han, I can say with certainty now that you should choose other places for your water park and aquarium. After Zi Qian, I, Professor Xu and others, Survey, this is the place where monks practiced Taoism in the Tang Dynasty.”
"This was once a place where lay disciples of the Taoist Sima Chengzhen of the Tang Dynasty practiced Taoism. This man was not famous in history. He was the youngest son of a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. His name was Yuan Cheng. He was frail and sick since he was a child, so he followed Sima Chengzhen to practice Taoism."< br>
"The family loved their young son, but Yuancheng was short of water, so the family spent a lot of money to build a seven-star array for Yuancheng on the island for Yuancheng to practice Taoism. Those murals are all Yuancheng's insights into practicing Taoism, and he painted them bit by bit. A carved wonderland”
"Not only are the murals very precious, but there are also many Taoist classics. This Yuan Cheng also had a wide range of hobbies, dabbling in literature, medicine, and agriculture at that time. He has many books. Among them, Sun Simiao's "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions" that we are most familiar with has the Engraved printing plate.”
Yao Ziqian added, "Master, you forgot to mention that there is also a copy of "Tang Code". Professor Xu's eyes turned red with excitement when he saw that book."
They study metaphysics and are interested in some Taoist classics, but are not interested in legal aspects.
But for those who study history, Tang Law is the national norm and will, which plays a significant role in their study of the history of the Tang Dynasty.
Wu Lingling was curious, "Ziqian, since this is a place where Taoists practice Taoism, aren't our domestic Taoist priests interested?"
"Of course I'm interested." Yao Ziqian replied, "Sima Chengzhen is the twelfth generation master of the Maoshan Sect of the Shangqing Sect of Taoism, and one of the "Ten Friends of the Immortal Sect." The current Taoist priest of the Maoshan Sect is posthumously named Mr. Zhengyi. Yuan Cheng is His disciples, people from the Maoshan Sect and the Taoist Association have already sent people.”
Han Xiaorui felt completely cold, "I know, the water park and aquarium can only choose other places."
Yao Ziqian said with a smile: "Scrap it. Those murals are quite exquisite and well-preserved. Now the staff of the Cultural Relics Bureau can't wait to eat and live in them every day and do a good job of protecting them to prevent them from being exposed to the outside air and causing damage."
"Now we predict that there is another most important place, which may be the secret room where Yuan Cheng sat down. Wait for the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau and the people from the Taoist Association and Maoshan Sect to come, and then go in together."
Han Xiaorui was stunned, "Sitting? Does this disturb the master?"
Yao Ziqian and his master, Mr. Zhao, looked at each other and saw embarrassment in each other's eyes.
Logically, one should not disturb the place where the ancestors rested, but they were curious.
In the Age of Dharma End, many classics were lost in the flames of war while being passed down through history.
"Although it has disturbed our ancestors' enthronement, the classics found here are of great help to us Taoists and are very important to revitalizing Taoism. If our ancestors are alive in heaven, we hope that Taoism can be carried forward and we will not be blamed." Mr. Zhao The teacher looked at his apprentice Yao Ziqian with approval. They could not afford to disturb their ancestors' reputation.
Han Xiaorui nodded, "That's right, our country attaches great importance to inheritance."
Yao Ziqian replied: "Taoists have always followed their true intentions, going down the mountain in troubled times and going up the mountain in prosperous times. During the Anti-Japanese War, Taoist priests went down the mountain, and nine out of ten died, or even more. The inheritance of Taoism was greatly affected."
Han Xiaorui sighed, "Although my investment plan has been shelved, it is also a good thing to allow more culture to reappear. Although I did not go, I heard from Wu Yao that there are many peach blossom patterns on the murals."
"If peach blossoms need to be planted on the island in the future, I can provide saplings from my peach trees. Ziqian and Lingling know that my peaches taste very good. The peach blossoms are also beautiful."
Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "I have eaten it too. Lingling, a filial girl, brought it to me from Guangdong Province. It tastes quite good. It is the best peach I have ever eaten in my life."
"Xiao Han, your idea is good. I will tell the senior brothers of Maoshan Sect later and we will see how to deal with it."
"Senior brother?" Han Xiaorui was surprised, "Mr. Zhao is also from the Maoshan Sect?"
Mr. Zhao was modest, "I am not talented, I have learned a little bit from the Maoshan Sect, and I am its outer disciple."
Wu Lingling wondered, "Can a Taoist priest get married?"
Yao Ziqian smiled, "Taoism is divided into Quanzhen sect and Zhengyi sect. Taoist priests of Quanzhen sect must become monks and cannot get married, while Taoist priests of Zhengyi sect have no such restrictions and can get married and have children."
"Maoshan Taoist priests belong to the Zhengyi sect, so we can get married. Of course, there are many of our brothers and even teachers who indulge in cultivation and do not get married. They focus on being free and free from so many constraints."
When Wu Lingling heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that one day her husband would abandon his children and wife and become a monk. "That's good. Taoist priests are also human beings, and humans have seven emotions and six desires. Since the main thing is to do whatever you want, it's normal to get married."
Yao Ziqian nodded, "That's the truth."
During this meal, everyone chatted while eating, and it didn't end until three o'clock in the afternoon. It really opened Han Xiaorui's eyes.
Even Han Xiaojing, who was listening on the side, was very shocked.
What she just heard from Mr. Zhao was actually similar to some psychological cognitions.
Han Xiaojing is very interested, especially Taoist physical training, Tai Chi, Wu Qin Xi, etc.
Proper training can allow children to increase their physical coordination. Most of the current sports are training methods copied directly from abroad.
Han Xiaojing feels that China has a civilization with five thousand years of culture, and the things that can be passed down, after hundreds or even thousands of years of refinement, can better adjust the human body structure.
Thinking of this, Han Xiaorui had a new idea.
