Who can introduce the issue of sects? Li Xian probably understood that the so-called Taoism, the devil, and the evil cults must not be judged superficially. There are also Taoists who are unforgivable, there are also evil cults who are upright, and there are also evil cults that encourage people to be good.
Because Taoism, the devil, and cults merely represent "thoughts."
"Let me introduce Taoism." Feiyu Zhenren came out. Feiyu Zhenren was the first Yuanying stage master to openly surrender to the Shang Kingdom. Now, he was only one step away from entering the Shenhua stage.
After everyone had seen it, Fei Yu Zhenren said, "When it comes to Taoism, we must first explain what the 'Tao' is. Traditionally, it is believed that the waxing and waning of the sun and the moon, the formation of the stars, the changing of seasons, the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas are all controlled by some kind of inner existence or some kind of supreme power.
People call this power "Tao".
Those who seek this "Tao" and use it as a guide for spiritual practice are Taoists.
Taoism is a very broad category. It can even be said that evil sects and cults are different branches of Taoism.
Later, some Taoist experiences, techniques, principles, etc. gradually matured and became fixed, and around these solidified techniques and experiences, and even the ancestors, schools gradually emerged. These schools gradually developed their own theories, and then formed Taoism.
For Taoists, the world is their home. True Taoists often have the world in their hearts.
Taoism is just one person's opinion. People who believe in Taoism begin to be selfish.
That's pretty much the difference.
Taoism has now become the mainstream thought in the world and the entire fairyland, and even the demon clan recognizes this thought.
But Taoism is also a mixed bag. Some are aloof and indifferent to worldly affairs; some are arrogant and do not treat ordinary people as human beings, the so-called treating all things as straw dogs; some are kind and save people from dire straits; some are swindlers and do all kinds of evil; some are simply corrupt, such as the infamous Yin-Yang Sect.
The Yin-Yang Sect's disciples draw lots every year. Those who draw white lots cure diseases and save lives, while those who draw black lots rob and commit all kinds of evil. In fact, even if they draw white lots, these Yin-Yang Sect's disciples will not do good deeds.
It can be said that there is Taoism in the world today but no Taoists.
This is the current situation of Taoism.”
Simple and clear, it gave Li Xian a clear view of the current situation of Taoism.
"Let me talk about the Demon Cult." A middle-level official stood up. This person was even wearing the clothes of the Demon Cult. Because of the generosity of the Shang Kingdom, there were indeed people from the Demon Cult and evil cults who came to the Shang Kingdom to serve as officials. Xuan Mingzi was the leader of the Demon Cult.
"It's Zhang Zuonan." Li Xian nodded, "Please go ahead."
Zhang Zuonan bowed to those around him and said, "After all, I am a demon, so my words may be biased. If there are any shortcomings, please point them out.
The path of magic itself originated from the ascetic Taoist monks. The "devil" in the path of magic itself means "to temper oneself".
Different from the general Taoist view, the ascetics believe that people have infinite potential, a person is a small world, and can even continuously absorb and refine the "Tao" of the outside world to strengthen themselves. Therefore, through hard training, sublimation can be achieved.
At the beginning, this path was a huge success, and almost every ascetic monk fought against more than ten Taoist masters at the same time. It was even said that in that ancient era, ascetic monks were the few monks of the human race who could suppress the monsters of the same level.
