I told her that she was actually right. Ancestor Hongjun was indeed written in the novel, but Sun Wukong was also written in the novel. Aren’t some people worshiping him now?
Regarding this issue, many people are arguing over it. They refute it whenever someone mentions Patriarch Hongjun. In fact, there is no need.
First of all, there is indeed no Patriarch Hongjun in orthodox Taoism, so when many people talk about Patriarch Hongjun, some people will come out and say, ah, there is no such immortal in Taoism, stop talking nonsense, that is written in novels.
There is also the Tongtian Cult Master who is commonly worshiped by the Chuma Immortal. In fact, that is also from the novel. In the past, not many people were literate, so it was actually inaccurate to use the Tongtian Cult Master as the Lingbao Tianzun.
Taoism has the Three Treasures of the Taoist Sutra Master. Anyone who believes in Taoism can take refuge in the Three Treasures. Among them, the Taoist Treasure is the Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, the Sutra Treasure is the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and the Shibao is the Taiqing Daode Tianzun, which is Taishang Laojun.
Therefore, Taoism has never had a Tongtian leader, and many folk immortals do not understand this, so they automatically regard the Tongtian leader as Lingbao Tianzun.
However, the formation and existence of Lord Tongtian has been hundreds of years, and there is a lot of belief in him among the people. There are also temples of Lord Tongtian in many places, so if there is belief, it exists. According to this theory, there is nothing wrong with it.
In fact, there are indeed some Taoist temples with Hongjun Halls, and there are many Qitian Temples among the people. So, do you think these are all true or false?
In fact, I think that as long as folk beliefs are established and there are people who agree with him, this god can exist objectively, and there is no need to be so real.
And many gods are fictitious. Do you think that all the gods in the sky are historical figures? Of course it's impossible.
In fact, most of the orthodox gods have evolved little by little in the long history, and exist in various myths, legends and folk stories. Then with folk belief, they can be called gods. In fact, most of them are It's man-made.
Of course, some are gods that appear in Taoist classics, and these are generally considered to be within the orthodox system.
However, the classics of each dynasty are also different. Before the Song Dynasty, Lingbao Tianzun was also called Taishang Yuchen Daojun. The system of gods in each dynasty is also different. It itself changes and is a bit confusing.
Therefore, you don’t need to be serious, and you don’t need to use the modern theoretical system to judge anything, because maybe one day, this system will change again.
To sum it up in one sentence: anything beyond human cognition cannot be unified at all.
Therefore, if you believe he is here, if you don’t believe he is not here, don’t be stubborn to anyone, just cultivate yourself.
Closer to home, after listening to what I said, she admired my views and opinions and said to me: "Master, I have seen many tricksters. You are the most educated. You can explain these things clearly. I am First time seeing it.”
I laughed and said, "Actually, I don't have much education. I haven't gone to college. I just loved reading, thinking, and pondering these things since I was a child."
In fact, there is one thing I didn't tell her. Except for "The Romance of the Gods" which I personally read, all the other theoretical viewpoints were told to me by Uncle Ma...
Then I told her: "Actually, after you came home from his place, you had a fever and became sick, and you felt upset and sick when you went near his house. I think it is the immortal family in you that is protecting you, and it is the immortal family that won't let you go. I advise you to stay away from such people.”
She suddenly realized: "Yes, what you said seems to be true. I feel sick when I mention this person now. Maybe he is really protecting me."
At this point, I finally couldn't help but ask her: "I'm very curious about who this veteran you are talking about is. I want to know who this expert is, who dares to do such a thing."
She thought for a moment and said, "I don't know his name either. I just know that people outside call him Liu Sanye. I heard that he was indeed a veteran. I don't know the details."
Ah, this... this... turns out to be him? !
When I heard this name, I was shocked and confused. I thought to myself, isn't both of his legs paralyzed? How can I still think about this kid?
I was speechless. I thought to myself that this old guy almost died last time and his legs were so paralyzed. Why did he still have such a messy intestine?
I told her: "That Mr. Liu, I heard that his legs are paralyzed. How can he sleep?"
She spread her hands: "I don't know about that. Anyway, he hinted to me that after his female apprentice slept with him, all the meridians in her body opened up, her skill increased greatly, and the immortality in her body increased for more than a hundred years. Daoxing, you have cultivated your soul."
"Oh my god..."
My head was buzzing again. Isn’t this nonsense? After sleeping with him, my meridians were fully opened and my power was greatly increased. He also gained more than a hundred years of spiritual practice. He dared to say anything?
If you go by what he said, you are still practicing nonsense. If you sleep with him a week, you will be able to practice Taoism for a hundred years. More than fifty weeks a year, that is more than five thousand years. You can directly catch up with Hu, the leader of my family. Tianlong, the five thousand years of Chinese history are not enough for him to sleep in one year!
But he was too courageous. He almost died in the underworld last time, and less than a year later, he started acting like a monster again and defrauding money and sex.
Isn't he afraid that Master Zhong Kui will send someone to strangle him to death one day?
To be honest, if Liu Sanye did this, the day would come when he would be completely punished.
As the saying goes, the disciples of the founder are good at making money, and one day they will pay for it with their lives. This Liu Sanye continues to cheat in the name of a disciple of the Sanqing Dynasty. Let's see what his retribution will be.
Then I told her that if Mr. Liu harasses her again, you don’t have to be polite, just call the police and let the policeman teach him how to behave!
After this incident, I told Ma Yunfeng one day, but he didn’t take it seriously at all. He told me that this was normal. Mr. Liu Sanye was famous for being evil-hearted and lustful in the Tao. He had many apprentices, including women. There are more men than there are men, and the first requirement for female apprentices is to be good-looking.
So it's not surprising at all that something like this happens. Some female apprentices do it voluntarily.
I said, what do they think? Don’t they have any ability to distinguish between right and wrong?
Ma Yunfeng said it didn't matter. After all, just sleeping on him would increase your career by a hundred years. This was a huge advantage. If I were a woman, I would want to sleep with him.
Did I say there are really so many fools in this world?
Ma Yunfeng said that in fact, they are not stupid at all, they are just greedy, want to get something for nothing, and have vanity. They also sleep with others, and sleeping with big bosses is so honorable.
I still don’t understand. I said he even let the underworld paralyze him. How could he have any dignity?
Ma Yunfeng laughed and told me: "What he said to the outside world was that he was paralyzed because he saved too many people and revealed too many secrets, so everyone believed him even more. Moreover, although his legs were paralyzed, he was paralyzed for the first time." Three legs are not paralyzed...hahahahaha..."
This shit is just seeking death!
