Bohe, a native of the Three Kingdoms period.
When he was young, he went to Difei Mountain (today's Zhongnan Mountain), where he was taught by Dong Feng, and he was taught the art of exercising qi and subduing. In the past three years of watching the wall, I have read such books as "Taiqing Shendanfang", "Three Emperors' Astronomy", and "Taiqing Zhongjing".
Bohe founded the Bojia Taoism in Luoyang, and later spread it to the south of the Yangtze River.
However, due to his great reputation, many people preached in the north in the name of Bohe, and the scale was not small at one time. Later, the Taoism of the Silk family gradually declined, some of them disappeared, and some of them merged into the Shangqing School.
Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the Bo Family Taoism, and it has always been very confusing. There are classics that say, "Sijia Taoism is also known as vulgar god prayer, that is, to worship vulgar gods, and to sacrifice blood and food to evil spirits. The practice of alchemy includes alchemy and obedience, summoning and impeachment, etc."
Talking about the Bo family's way alone, it is not enough to shock Zhang Shouyang and Chao Kongtu, the key is the context behind it.
It's a long story:
During the reign of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling and his two disciples Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng founded the famous Taoism of Heavenly Masters. Zhang Daoling set up twenty-four governance and set up twenty-four sacrificial wine management. Under the sacrificial wine are ghost officials, treacherous orders, and ghost soldiers. He also set up Sanhui Day as a religious activity day for Tianshi believers.
At the same time, it is stipulated that the celestial master must be inherited by the descendants of the Zhang family.
After Zhang Daoling's ascension, the Celestial Master was succeeded by his son Zhang Heng, and after Zhang Heng's death, Zhang Lu succeeded him.
Zhang Lu's qualifications are dull, he is not good at cultivating Taoism, but he is good at playing politics. He first killed Zhang Xiu, who was also the leader of the Heavenly Master Taoism, and then reformed the organization to integrate politics and religion. He ruled Hanzhong for nearly 30 years.
Later, the Three Kingdoms were in chaos and fought endlessly.
After Zhang Lu's death, he had seven sons and ten daughters, but none of them had the prestige of his father, so the heavenly masters and Taoists had no leader, and the small leaders were in their own way.
This chaos continued until the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, and even Sima Rui fled south to establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At that time, the north was ruled by ethnic minorities, and Tianshi Taoism was divided into two factions, the north and the south.
After the Tuoba family of Xianbei in the Northern Wei Dynasty entered the north, in order to consolidate their rule and strengthen Sinicization, they attached great importance to the way of heavenly masters. There was a Taoist named Kou Qianzhi who, with the support of the emperor, carried out fundamental reforms to the Tao of Heavenly Masters.
First of all, there is no need to pay rice grains when joining a religion. The second is the hereditary and private teaching of Taoist officials. Changing to Taoist officials also needs to be inspected and verified.
More importantly, Kou Qianzhi advocated the removal of the "three Zhangs", that is, the abolition of some Taoist regulations of Zhang Daoling, Zhang Heng, and Zhang Lu, which had a great influence in the north and tens of millions of believers.
Therefore, in history, the Daoism of Abbot Kou Qianzhi was collectively called Xin Tianshi Dao, or Bei Tianshi Dao. Even when the emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty came to the throne, they would go to their Taoist altars to accept their orders.
Let's talk about the South.
The Tianshidao who moved to the south also received the support of the Liu Song Dynasty. The leader was Lu Jingxiu, and Shi Yuliang, one of Kou Qian.
Lu Jingxiu also reformed the Tao of Heavenly Masters, strictly prohibited private teaching by Taoist officials, and restored the regulations of promotion by rank in Zhang Lu's period. It is also strictly ordered that believers must go to the teacher's office to register on the last day of the Sanhui every year; at the same time, a complete set of Taoist precepts and legal rites has been formulated, which has been affecting the present.
The current rituals and ceremonies were basically born from that time.
Abbot Lu Jingxiu's Tao of Heavenly Masters is called the Tao of Southern Heavenly Masters. The core difference between the north and the south is that the north de-converts the "three sheets", while the south maintains the "three sheets" orthodoxy, but corrects some erroneous regulations.
So the two are fundamentally mortal enemies.
Later, Kou Qianzhi and Lu Jingxiu ascended to the throne, and the world fell into war again. After Yang Jian unified the whole country, after more than a hundred years of division between the north and the south, the Tianshi Taoism was finally unified, which lasted until the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and was replaced by the Dragon and Tiger School.
The original Tianshi Dao Zhang Tianshi has become Zhang Tianshi of Longhushan, which is the current standard system.
The Taoism of Heavenly Masters in the north and south was the most famous Taoist school at that time, and there were countless followers. The Silk Family Dao is one of them.
They called themselves the new way, Kou Qianzhi the celestial master, and Lu Jingxiu and "San Zhang" the old way. They fought endlessly, and of course they hated the Longhushan celestial master way that returned to the Zhang family.
Taoist temple, inner hall.
You said everything to me, and after sorting out the matter thoroughly, everyone finally understood the ins and outs.
No wonder the other party wanted to attack Zhang Shouyang, because he was the direct descendant of Longhu Mountain, and he was still a god. Once he was promoted to Earth Immortal, he would definitely be classified as the side of the old way.
It's no wonder that there are only two people on the other side, so they dare to enter the country and kill people without any scruples, because standing behind them is an immortal—Kou Qianzhi.
Now all parties have reached a consensus that those big bosses who founded the school, made outstanding achievements and influenced the current dynasty, and are very powerful at first glance, are guaranteed to be at the level of earth immortals.
So if you stroke it down, you can see at a glance how many earth immortals there are, and the deviation is not big.
Those who are not sure are the gods, and some idle people. For example, Zhang Guolao, who did not know how long he lived, claimed to be a servant in the time of Emperor Yao. By the beginning of Tang Dynasty, he had lived more than 3,000 years old.
Can you believe this thing? But I dare not believe it.
To say that he is a fairy seems to be a bit unreasonable, but to say that he is an earth fairy, and there is nothing to prove it, so it is more difficult to judge.
"..."
In the hall, everyone was silent, digesting the information.
In fact, no one thought that a technique of aversion to victory would bring out the Tao of the Silk family, and even bring out the dispute between the old and the new. Those big bosses are too far away, so far away that the predecessors fight and the future suffer, and they are a little uncomfortable.
Lu Yuanqing, Zhang Shouyang, Chao Kongtu, Zhang Wumeng, Sikongchan, and He He are six gods, you look at me, I look at you, or Lu Yuanqing said: "This matter is simple, it is a choice, or Advance or retreat, what do you think?"
"If you retreat, you will be patient, and if you advance, you will be leveled. If you bully us, you will fight back!" He He was the youngest and spoke first.
"So what if there are Earth Immortals backing them up? The Earth Immortals can't come down, so at most we can send some lackeys to fight in the lower realm." Chao Kongtu said.
"But when we go further, we must be involved, and the follow-up impact will be far-reaching." Zhang Wumeng is more cautious.
"But once we back down and remain indifferent, those people will push forward and must uproot the weeds." Sikong Chan said.
After a brief discussion, they decided to take the initiative and kill those two guys in one fell swoop.
"Immortals are hard to kill, not to mention they are not in the territory, there are many accidents, we have to be prepared."
Lu Yuanqing thought for a moment, and said: "Senior brother has been poisoned once, the other party may be alert, otherwise it would be a good way to lure the snake out of the hole by sacrificing oneself as bait..."
He paused for a moment, then asked: "There is a message from Kunlun that there may be ancestors of the Youxian sect alive, might it be bad for us?"
"Exactly." Zhang Shouyang said.
The voice was clear, and without waiting for others to speak, He He volunteered by himself, saying: "I would like to lure them out!"
"Hehe, don't worry, the opponent's strength is not bad, and he may have the protection of the earth fairy magic weapon, so we need to proceed with caution."
Lu Yuanqing expressed his relief, waved his sleeves, and issued two summoning talismans in succession, "Please Gu Layman and Long Layman come to discuss, we must punish rape and eradicate evil, and catch them all in one go."
