Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 242 What is the relationship between Daoist Yu and Zhang Jiao?

Yu Ji is now most famous for his status as a Taoist priest and his reputation for treating diseases with talismans.

Therefore, Yu Ji thinks that Zhu Wei came to him not to seek Taoism, but to ask him to treat illnesses or something.

"I heard that the Taoism preached by Taoist Master Yu is the art of peace?"

Zhu Wei didn't answer Yu Ji's words directly, but asked in a seemingly ordinary way, as if he was asking for advice on Taoism.

"Well, the Taoism taught by the old Taoist is indeed derived from the Taiping Qingling Book. It is based on worshiping the heaven and the earth and following the five elements, so as to seek peace in the world, peace in the world, nourish the spirit of peace, and find the way to immortality!"

Yu Ji said in his mouth, but his heart skipped a beat. He had already heard what Zhu Wei meant, but this was a problem he couldn't solve, so he could only follow the official meaning as much as possible. Explaining his art of peace.

Zhu Wei smiled slightly when he heard the words, and then said again, "I don't know what is the relationship between Zhang Jiao, who caused chaos in the world more than ten years ago, and Daoist Yu? Wei heard that Zhang Jiao also taught the art of peace. It's Taiping Dao, before this corner rebelled, it was just like a Daoist leader!"

Hearing this, Yu Ji sighed in his heart. He originally hid in the remote places of Kuaiji and Wujun in the east of the Jiangdong to get rid of his relationship with Zhang Jiao.

However, what he learned from his lineage was the art of Taiping Dao, and what he played was to teach people to kowtow to think about their mistakes, and use Fushui to cure diseases, so as to attract people and develop Taiping Dao.

Originally, Zhang Jiao had preached in the Central Plains for more than ten years, and he had developed the Taiping Dao to the extreme. The head of the village can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Zhangjiao's Taiping Dao has 36 Taoist temples in various states and counties across the country. There are hundreds of thousands of directly affiliated Taoists gathered by the big and small Qushuai, and there are countless other believers who believe in Taiping Dao.

It's just that Zhang Jiao saw the corruption in the society at the end of the Han Dynasty, the politics was dark, and the people were struggling to survive, so he actually had the idea of ​​​​overthrowing the Han Dynasty and establishing himself as the emperor. Heretics, Taipingdao suddenly became a traitor of the evil way that everyone shouted and beat.

This troubles other ordinary Taoists who believe in and spread the Way of Peace. The most convenient way for them to promote the Way of Peace is to use spells and talisman water to treat diseases like Zhang Jiao. The means can easily be identified by the government as the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

That's why Yu Ji didn't dare to develop in the Central Plains, so he could only go to Jiangdong, hoping to re-inherit the Taiping Taoism in Jiangdong, which has not suffered much from the Yellow Turban disaster.

To be honest, this is also for the convenience of making money.

Just like the four necessary conditions for cultivating the Tao, wealth, law, spouse, and land written in many cultivation novels, this wealth is the first.

If you don’t have money, everything will be sad. If you don’t have money, what can you use to practice Taoism? To practice Taoism, you don’t really need to eat or drink. How many people in the world can swallow a golden elixir and realize that my fate is not controlled by fate.

At least in this period of the Three Kingdoms, the so-called Taoists basically still need food, but where does the money for food come from?
Burning incense and chanting Buddhist scriptures will not generate money, so if you want to have money, someone must give alms, so how can you get someone to give alms and cultivate yourself?Naturally, it is necessary to spread one's name, and it is best to form an organization to help oneself collect money and obtain the foundation of Taoism.

That's why Zhangjiao's Taipingdao used to be like this. With a large scale, it is naturally convenient to get money. Even if there are no rich families to donate, you can still make money in other ways.

And now Yu Ji opened altars in Jiangdong Kuaiji and Wujun to teach the Dharma, also for the convenience of making money, otherwise how could he build his ashram.

But the methods that Taoists like Yu Ji can master, that is, the methods that Zhang Jiao played before, what can they do without copying them.

However, these methods became a little sensitive because of the Yellow Turban Uprising caused by the Taipingdao rebellion. Yu Ji himself knew that if someone took it seriously, he would be in trouble.

Now that Zhu Wei said this, it seems that this is what he meant. He should have seen through that Yu Ji and Zhang Jiao were playing a trick. Could it be that Zhu Wei came to arrest him this time? Thinking of Yu Ji's expression of sneaking a look at Zhu Wei , but it doesn't feel like it.

Yu Ji has lived for so long, and he can be regarded as a cunning old man. He immediately realized that Zhu Wei must have other ideas, and he didn't come here for the relationship between the Taiping art he taught and the Yellow Turban Taiping Dao.

In this way, Yu Ji turned a few thoughts in his heart, and then said, "That's right, that Zhangjiao is the senior brother of the old Tao. Alas, it's a pity that he acted recklessly against the sky, abandoned the way of longevity, and borrowed the name of the way of peace. To deceive the people of the world, intending to rebel, and proclaiming the emperor against the heavens, is really ignorance! In the end, he was also punished by the heavens, punished by the heavens, deprived of his lifespan, and let him die against the veins!"

"Oh, I didn't expect Daoist Yu to be from the same family as Zhang Jiao! Wei heard that Zhang Jiao's teaching of Taiping Dao originated from the essential techniques of Taiping? I don't know how it is different from the book of Taiping Qingling taught by Daoist Yu?"

Zhu Wei could hear that Yuji was trying to disregard his relationship with Zhang Jiao, and deliberately separated the Taiping Taoism from Zhang Jiao's conspiracy, which meant that the Taiping technique of the Taiping Taoism he belonged to was correct, and it was Zhang who was wrong. Jiao personally used the Taipingdao to do rebellious things.

But Zhu Wei didn't care at all, Zhu Wei only cared about the difference between Zhang Jiao's "Taiping Yaoshu" and Yu Ji's "Taiping Qinglingshu".

Yu Ji was also a little stunned by Zhu Wei's words. He didn't know what Zhu Wei meant by asking this, so he pondered for a while before he said, "Both Lao Dao and Zhang Jiao are disciples of Nanhua Daoist, but Lao Dao was in front of Zhang Jiao. He has been born and traveled in the world for more than ten years, but he has never met Zhang Jiao! However, the old Taoist has also heard the Tao of Taiping taught by Zhang Jiao, and it is quite similar to the Tao of Taiping taught by the old Taoist, but Zhang Jiao The Taiping Dao taught seems to involve the art of governing the country and the people, but the Taiping Dao taught by the old Taoist is mainly about governing the body and oneself, and seeking longevity! I also heard a real person ask the old Taoist mind what he wanted. At that time, the old Taoist only wanted to live forever, so the real person passed on the old Taoist Taiping Qing Lingshu. Maybe Zhang Jiao liked the art of governing the country and the people, so the real person passed on Zhang Jiao's Taiping Let's do it!"

Yu Ji seems to recall half-truths, at first he put aside his relationship with Zhang Jiao, and then said casually, it sounds like his so-called "Taiping Qingling Book" is completely a practice book for practicing longevity , while Zhang Jiao's "Taiping Yaoshu" is more involved in governing the country and the people.

Zhu Wei heard the words and thought about it in his heart. In fact, he also checked the information of "Taiping Yaoshu" before. It is said that this "Taiping Yaoshu" is also "Taiping Jing", but this kind of ancient book is like "The Analects". In fact, it is also the record notes for the disciples to record the knowledge taught by the master, and it does not necessarily exist such books at the beginning.

The content of the so-called "Taiping Jing" mostly expresses the content of the book to be taught by the dialogue between Taoist masters such as real people and celestial masters and their disciples, so it is like "The Analects of Confucius". "Taiping Yaoshu" and "Taiping Qinglingshu" held by Yu Ji are likely to be Taoist books formed by recording their own conversations with their teacher, or recording the conversations they heard from other disciples and teachers.

In this case, perhaps because Zhang Jiao and Yu Ji have different preferences, the content they learn from their teacher Nanhua Zhenren is also different, so the content recorded by each of them naturally has different characteristics. The so-called "Taiping Yaoshu" , "Taiping Qinglingshu" can actually be regarded as the "Taiping Sutra", because they are all the Taiping Taoism taught by the real person of Nanhua, most of which may be the same in content, but Zhang Jiao and Yu Ji have different points of advice from the real person of Nanhua, so They have their own different characteristics.

It seems that Zhang Jiao should have been interested in governing the country, governing the people, etc. from the very beginning, so the Yellow Turban Taiping Road he created later, such as the 36 squares in the world, actually has a certain meaning of military and political organization structure. This is also the root cause of his later rebellion...
