Yuan Tiangang was not angry in his heart, but he did not care about getting angry. He waved his hands and said impatiently: "Stop talking about those useless nonsense, hurry up and tell the old Taoist about the difference between black and white clouds. I made it clear. Let the past be forgotten. If you don’t understand, don’t blame me for teaching you a lesson and bullying the small!”
He was genuinely curious.
As a person grows older and has experienced too many things, his curiosity will inevitably decrease. However, since he knew that Fang Jun's method of investigating things was unparalleled in the world, and he was talking about common sights such as clouds turning black and white, he couldn't help but ask more about it.
But he didn't realize that he had gradually weakened his speculation about Fang Jun's strange appearance...
Fang Jun is right. When it comes to Feng Shui and physiognomy, we are not as good as you, but when it comes to physics knowledge, you are nothing.
"There are yin and yang in heaven and earth, and they circulate endlessly to give birth to all things. Water is yin and falls from the sky, but where does it come from? Yang is clear and bright. It can be seen that although rain falls from the sky, its source is Rising from the bottom, water vapor rises from the surface and condenses into clouds in the sky. If there is insufficient water vapor, the clouds will be white and soft, floating with the wind. When the water vapor is sufficient and the clouds contain enough water, they will gradually turn dark and become gloomy, reaching a critical point. The water vapor condensed in the clouds will fall from the sky and form rainwater. The rainwater will fall on the surface of the earth, gather into rivers, lakes and seas, evaporate again, rise up, and condense into clouds again... This cycle continues endlessly, in harmony with the great road of heaven and earth, the yin and yang. Reason, I don’t know if you take it for granted?”
Yuan Tiangang's eyes widened. This truth, which all children in kindergartens in later generations would understand, made him shocked for a moment!
Mother!
That’s the truth!
The words not only described the relationship between water vapor and rain, but more importantly, coincided with the Taoist truth of "Yin and Yang complement each other and circulate endlessly". Yuan Tiangang immediately realized that from now on, not only the world will know the cause of rain, but also the reason for the formation of rain. They will increasingly recognize the true meaning of Taoism, which will have an immeasurable impact on the spread of Taoism - look, everything in the world and the laws of nature are all operating according to our Taoist principles. What Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism, only Taoism is the righteousness of heaven and earth and the law of all things!
The old Taoist was so excited that he stroked his beard tremblingly, his eyes were shining, and he praised: "Master Fang is really a scholar of heaven and man, and he can be called the best person in the world! Since ancient times, the world only knows that clouds can turn into rain, but never If we truly pursue the cause of rain, I believe that as long as Mr. Fang’s words spread, they will surely shine in the annals of history and impress the world!”
Fang Jun sneered: "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and only the two qi of yin and yang form all things. Taoism has already glimpsed the truth of the world, and one day it will make all people believe in it. But everything must have a process, if you want to make the world full of people If everyone recognizes Taoist doctrine, then we must spare no effort to promote it, which requires the sincere dedication of countless people.”
Haha, you want us to promote Taoism to you for free?
It's not impossible, but there must be some price...
Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "It is exactly what we need to cooperate with Mr. Fang in the investigation of things. Please rest assured that the old Taoist will send a letter to Longhu Mountain later to report to the Master of Heaven. The Taoist lineage, since I will keep this kindness in my heart and repay it in the future.”
Fang Jun was slightly stunned.
This old Tao is actually inherited from Tianshi Tao?
"I don't know who the master is from?"
"Haha, the master of the old way is Master Xiantian." Yuan Tiangang looked proud.
Master Xiantian!
The most famous figure in the history of Tianshi Taoism, Kou Qianzhi, known as the "Founder of Northern Tianshi Taoism", reformed the original vulgar style of Taoism and won the respect of the Northern Wei Dynasty court. He came from the countryside to the temple, and Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty He was granted the title of National Preceptor, and until the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, his faith never faded. The later Zhou Dynasty inherited the Wei Dynasty and worshiped Taoism and law. Each emperor received an imperial edict, just like the old Wei Dynasty.
Really awesome guy!
But...what does this have to do with us?
Taoism in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was just that, it had many supporters among the people, but in the court, it was only hung up as a mascot by His Majesty Li Er, and had little influence.
In the Song Dynasty, Tianshi Dao began to enter the court and became Taoist Zhengshuo...
"It's actually the true biography of Master Kou. I'm so disrespectful..." Fang Jun complimented him. Seeing Yuan Tiangang's face look rosy, he said, "It's just that the Taoist Master lived for more than a hundred years, but he didn't get the true biography of Master Kou. He's just a mere I have never tried to figure out or observe the changes in water vapor, and I have never seen any achievements in the Taoist scriptures. You can tell me for yourself, what benefit is it to the country if it lasts for a hundred years? What benefit is it to the people? What benefit is it to Taoism?"
Therefore, it is still a rice worm.
Yuan Tiangang blew his beard and stared. It was because of the illusion of water vapor and the mutual complementation of yin and yang that he admired him. He would probably give this kid a good punch to teach him how to respect his elders.
But this stick has a "rice bug" on the left and a "rice bug" on the right. Who can stand it?
What's more, the old Taoist is not a good-tempered person. After more than a hundred years of practice, he has not cultivated anything else. Instead, he has cultivated a true temperament. He can laugh and curse as he pleases, and he has never suppressed his emotions.
"Boy, don't toast me and you'll be punished with a drink!"
"Old Taoist, if you are a fool and live for a hundred years, it will be of no use to the country or the people, but you always rely on your old age and sell yourself off. Do you know it is shameful?"
"Wow, you ignorant kid, are you really an expert and won't beat you?"
"Haha, it's obvious that I'm not good at physiognomy, but you slander me with words that look completely different from yours. His heart is to be punished. He's a thief if he doesn't die even if he's old!"
"Mom!"
Yuan Tiangang couldn't hold it any longer, turned over the case, and stood up to teach this disrespectful bastard a lesson.
However, before he could get up, the kid in front of him had already jumped up from the floor and rushed out of the door in two short steps...
At the door, Cheng Chuliang listened attentively to the conversation in the wing, his heart skipping a beat. When he heard that the table was turned over in the room, he felt anxious. When he saw Fang Jun running out, he stamped his feet and complained: "Erlang, are you crazy?" ? Taoist Yuan is highly virtuous and respected, and he has won the trust of His Majesty. It would be unwise for you to conflict with him!"
Fang Jun chuckled and said disapprovingly: "The old Taoist idiot has been a hundred years old and has become old and confused. He uses some alarmist words to blackmail me. How can I follow his wishes?"
conflict?
What is needed is conflict!
As long as there is a conflict, if Yuan Tiangang says anything unfavorable to himself in the future, outsiders will only think it is retaliation and will not believe it.
In addition, today's remarks about "the process of water vapor transformation" will make people think that the old Taoists are not good at what they have learned. They can't even apply what they have learned in Taoism's "Yin and Yang Principles". Instead, they asked a young man to teach them. As a human being, no matter what bad things are said about Fang Jun, others will naturally have reservations when hearing it, and will not accept it entirely just because of his status and reputation.
Cheng Chubi, on the other hand, even rolled up his sleeves and stood at the door, watching eagerly, waiting for Yuan Tiangang to chase him out to find Fang Jun to settle the score, so he would rush forward and punch him. He didn't even think about respecting the elderly and dared to find him. If Fang Erlang is in trouble, he must first beat Cheng Chubi to the ground!
Cheng Chuliang looked at the two mallets and sighed, helpless.
"Hey, how can Erlang have some free time today to come visit the old Taoist?"
The three of them were standing at the door. Fang Jun wanted to leave temporarily, but he heard someone talking behind him. When he turned around, he saw Sun Simiao wearing a simple Taoist robe, walking back from the mountain gate with a smile, and carrying a bamboo basket behind him. His backpack contained several herbs.
Fang Jun hurriedly saluted and said: "I have just been demoted and my official position has been handed over for many days. I am often free, but I came here today to ask for something."
The Cheng family brothers also hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Sun Simiao took off the bamboo basket from behind. The little Taoist priest had already rushed forward to take it. Sun Simiao nodded and said: "Take it to the medicine house and put it in a cool place. It must not be exposed to the sun."
"Here!"
The little Taoist priest responded and staggered away carrying a bamboo basket that was almost as tall as him.
Sun Simiao glanced at the Cheng brothers, and he knew what was going on. He smiled at Fang Jun and said, "We have been friends for many years, so why should we beg for nothing? But don't be in a hurry. Come on, Pindao will introduce you to someone." A living god.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Tiangang was heard saying angrily in the side room: "Tell the old man to get out of here with the mallet, otherwise he will break his legs!"
Sun Simiao looked confused and didn't know why.
Fang Jun was a little embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "Well... no introduction is necessary. I just met with Taoist Yuan and was impressed by his grace. I feel ashamed and won't see you again..."
Sun Simiao was confused. Listening to Yuan Tiangang's tone in the room, he was obviously very angry, but why could he calm down with Fang Jun?
In his opinion, Fang Jun is simply an "outstanding young man of the Tang Dynasty". He is knowledgeable, broad-minded, capable, courageous, and shrewd and far-sighted. Looking at the young talents he has come into contact with, no one can compare with him. , I simply wish I could have a son who must learn from him. If I have a daughter, I would like to recruit someone to be a son-in-law for her retirement.
Why is Yuan Tiangang so crazy?
Sun Simiao also knew that Yuan Tiangang's straightforwardness and casualness were really out of tune. More than a hundred years of practicing Taoism were in vain...
