Yue Guanchao only knew that there was an emperor buried in the big lotus. He really didn't know what the auspicious place meant. Seeing Lord Cat praising the mountain, he decided to compliment him once.
The last time I persuaded Yu Bo, it was all thanks to his sharp tongue.
If you think about it carefully, why the old sow ate the coffin trough and was still able to talk to people in her dreams? This is obviously a story he made up and made up. It is indeed very scary at first listen, and it scares the fisherman for a while, but As long as you think about it in detail, you will immediately know that this is nonsense.
Master Cat held his glasses in his hand, pointed at the four-petal golden lotus and said:
"Young friend Yue, you are very particular!"
"In the past, the Li and Tang royal families conquered the country. The five surnames and seven hopes relied on the heritage of the family for thousands of years. They looked down upon the upstarts like the Li family who had gained power in one day. Even Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said that the emperor's family was actually in the Boling Cui family. Following these words, in order to compete with the Five Surnames and Qi Wang for their heritage, starting from the Gaozong era, they worshiped Taoist Li Er as their ancestor, respected him as the Supreme Emperor Xuanyuan, and forcibly promoted the Li Tang family to the bloodline of gods."
"Since then, Taoism has become the state religion of Li and Tang Dynasties. Although Buddhism was once again used in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, it was only for a short time. When the Li family came back to power, Taoism was still restored as the state religion. From then on, even if the dynasty changed, there would be no change."
"Haidong Shengguo takes Tang as its teacher in everything, and respects Laozi as its righteous ancestor. Although Haidong Shengguo also introduced Buddhism during the Silk Road trade, Taoism still accounts for half the height of the two."
After saying that, Mr. Cat brought the topic back to Jin Lian:
"Speaking of which, the Earth Emerging Golden Lotus is a Buddhist symbol!"
"During the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Buddha left a prophecy that Buddhism would be destroyed in Tianzhu and resurrected in Cathay. This sentence became the beginning of the spread of Buddhism to the east and the arrival of eminent monks. Western eminent monks traveled eastward to preach in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Buddhism came to compete for territory and attracted many people. Taoism counterattacked, and in order to denounce Buddhism, Taoism began to spread the theory that Laozi transformed Hu into a Buddha."
"It is said that Laozi rode a green ox to the outside of Hangu Pass, transformed into a Buddha, and enlightened the barbarians. Buddhism entered the homes and ruined the families, and the country was destroyed. The purpose of this trip was to make the barbarians have no desires, no homes, and the destruction of their country and species."
"Although Buddhism doesn't like this statement, traveling eastward to preach requires an authoritative background. In order to facilitate believers to accept the Buddha's thoughts, it acquiesces to the Taoist statement and claims that the Buddha is Lao Tzu. This in turn makes the followers large and the preaching far away."
"During the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism often merged and opposed each other. Taoism originally had the "Golden Lotus Zhengzong Ji", which simply integrated Buddhist thought and included the Earthly Emerging Golden Lotus into the scope of Taoism. Taoists claimed that every time there was a disaster, the Earth would inevitably have Earthly Emerging Golden Lotus, gods and Buddhas entrusted to it. World."
Cat Master pointed at Hualian Peak and shook his head and explained:
"I remember that when the Emperor of Haidong died for his country, it happened to be that the mighty Tang Dynasty was overthrown, and the world must be divided for a long time. This vast China actually divided into more than ten countries. He built his mausoleum on Hualian Peak. I'm afraid it was I want to take advantage of the feng shui of the golden lotus in the ground so that I can be reincarnated as a capable person and help the world to stabilize the country."
"I see!"
Yue Guanchao looked at Golden Lotus Peak with his hands on his hips, his tone full of contempt:
"Answer Yin Zun is really a tiger. At that time, the world was in chaos. If you want to help the world, shouldn't you raise troops and go south to fight for the Central Plains? Why did you die for your country instead? You would rather believe such nonsense as the Golden Lotus of the Earth than dare to send troops. If you want to I think he is a coward."
"What if sacrificing one's country and rebirth is the first step to reincarnation to help the country? The ancients did believe in the theory of reincarnation. If Da Yinzun really wanted to compete in the world, he might have believed this. Religion has always used strange powers to confuse people's minds. "
Song Siyuan walked up to him, picked up the telescope and muttered something random, which made everyone look at each other and were speechless. It was a lie to die for one's country, but it was true to want to be reincarnated!
They were looking at the golden lotus in the distance, and the sound of horse hooves behind them sounded. When Yue Guanchao looked back, the Chao family's men and horses were already behind them.
He counted the people coming carefully. There were about forty or fifty of them, all of them were servants who were patrolling the mountain.
These strong men are all wearing black cloth jackets, black bear boots, sheepskin jackets and bloomers, carrying machetes on their backs, loaded with guns, and have big arms and round waists. Their noses are red from the cold under their fur hats, their scarves are full of heat, and their horses are kicking. They are particularly spectacular. .
If I hadn't known their details in advance, I would have thought they were thieves who came to rob the road and kill people!
He has seen the leader, the housekeeper of the court.
The old man took off his mandarin jacket and wore an animal skin coat. The roundness in his eyes turned into cunning and cunning. This was their true face. How could a group of tomb robbers have a kind face.
"Mr. Yue, my boss asked me to come and help you wait. I don't know when we will go up the mountain."
Although the face of the housekeeper was sly, his tone was very polite. They relied on Yue Guanchao, so naturally they had to be a little bit less considerate.
"If the housekeeper opens the tomb, he will ask the brothers to go down and steal the treasure. I wonder if they will be willing to go down to the tomb. After all, it is very unlucky."
Yue Guanchao said, slightly arching his hands towards the housekeeper:
"Mr. Yue, don't worry. These servants are all good mountain patrollers. They have seen the world and can withstand bad luck."
It turns out that he is not just a servant, no wonder he has a gangster spirit. Also, how can a servant of a thousand-year-old family be a little sheep that can be knocked down at a push.
"The mountain road is steep, and I don't think a horse-drawn carriage can drive it. I'll leave Mr. Yue's affairs to us. Please go up the mountain first so that we can follow."
By saying this, Butler Chao was afraid that they would run away!
Yue Guanchao thought to himself that it was too tiring to deal with aristocratic families even after reaching this point.
Helpless, Yue Guanchao had no choice but to carry a light cloth bag, Geda Maoye and the others took the first step on foot into the mountain, while Chao Guanchao and the others dragged their suitcases and cabinets and carried heavy loads.
Whether it is to conceal the mystery of Hualian Peak or because it is difficult to repair the official road, there is not only no official road on the entire mountain peak, but also no wild roads in the forest. The mountains and plains are covered with dense rime forests.
They can only use their eyes as Simon and rely on telescopes to find their way alive.
