Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Maofu

"What is the relationship between Yuan Zhenren... and you?" Zhang Yicheng vaguely felt that things were not as simple as he imagined. About Yuan Shaoyi's deeds, he usually heard his father talking about him; The head teacher, ranked first, is not only the number one boss of the Zhengyi Sect, but it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the head of the entire Taoist sect. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, this person joined the top secret agent organization of the Kuomintang, the China Taiping Prayer Committee, and participated in the Anti-Japanese War , whereabouts into

It is a mystery, and its cultivation is even more unfathomable. He even used magic to save the life of his old mother Li Erya. According to his father Zhang Yuanzhong, even the half-human, half-immortal Maoshan fourth son Dai Zhenyun can't do Nanyang magic. This Uncle Yuan got it done in three minutes. How could such a powerful fairy have the same relationship with this E. T．Uncle got involved? "He is mine...you can say he is an adoptive father and master..." Tong Guohu straightened his glasses, "I was only eight years old when my father died and had no relatives. He adopted me and raised me up. "

"Nurture...father...add...teacher...father..." Zhang Yicheng's legs trembled, and he felt like hanging himself on the spot. According to his father Zhang Guozhong, the so-called eight truths of the Republic of China at that time were originally the seven truths of the Republic of China, all of them in one color. He was a proletarian revolutionist of the older generation, and Ma Sjia, a professor of the Maoshan school, was not included in it because he was a junior.The reason why he later became Bazhen and added Ma Sijia later was entirely because of the patriotic feat of Mr. Ma who first joined the War of Resistance and his patriotic remarks of "the country is about to perish, so what is the way?"If seniority is strictly followed according to Taoist rules, Yuan Shaoyi should be a generation higher than Ma Sijia. In theory, his father Zhang Guozhong would still call him a master. T．Uncle called grandpa?

"After my father died, the street wanted to arrange for me to go to a work-study school, but I was not old enough, but there was no way. In my situation, I could only go there. Later, I stayed in school for a few years, and was bullied by older children. I just ran out of school..." Tong Guohu frowned, as if he still had a lot to say, "I dare not go home for fear of being arrested again, but I have nowhere to go. Later, I remembered that my father was at the train station when he was alive. Once I lost money, I wanted to go to the train station to steal it, but instead of stealing it, I was caught. I thought to myself, I must be sent back to that work-study school, but the person who arrested me not only didn’t send me He went back to work-study school and brought me home to teach me to read and write."

"The person who arrested you was Yuan Shaoyi?" Zhang Yicheng frowned. "Yes!" Tong Guohu nodded, "At first, he only taught me to read and write, and when he grew up, he began to teach me Taoism. He said that I resembled one of his apprentices from a long time ago. My surname seems to be Miao, and he liked him the most among all the apprentices." I like it, like me, I also have such an eye, and my understanding is very high, I am a Taoist wizard who is rare in a hundred years, but unfortunately this person disappeared inexplicably, and his life and death are uncertain; when he met me later, he felt that the apprentice had returned ..."

"Have you ever worshiped a teacher?" "No, until the old man left without saying goodbye, there was no clear and specific relationship between me and him." Tong Guohu looked out the window, thoughtful, "Today I heard that your father is the head teacher of the Maoshan School, and I suddenly thought of him, I don't know Do you have any contact with your father, do you know where he lives now, and whether he is still alive? We haven’t seen each other for more than ten years.” "So it's like this..." Hearing Tong Guohu say that he didn't have an apprenticeship, Zhang Yicheng felt relieved, at least he didn't have to call grandpa, "How long have you studied with him?"

"It should have been 13 or 14 years since I formally learned Taoism..." Tong Guohu said, "Until he left without saying goodbye." "Brother Tong, to tell you the truth, my father has indeed met Yuan Zhenren, but the time between the two of them may not be as long as the time between us. I really can't help you with looking for him..." Zhang Yicheng pouted , I said in my heart that I still want to use my father's status as the head teacher to brag to others, but I didn't expect that he is a master who has learned from Yuan Shaoyi for more than ten years, maybe my father will give it to him for nothing... …"Renren Yuan is so capable, why don't you let him help you with that thing on your body?"

"Of course I asked him..." Tong Guohu said, "But he didn't seem to find a particularly good way..." "My dear mother..." Zhang Yicheng chuckled, your uncle's Yuan Shaoyi did not make the same mistake, you came to me for help, isn't this a fool of the world... "Brother Tong, Yuan Zhenren can't understand it You came to see me? Don't you think highly of me too?" "Hehe, it's not my intention to find you, but the old man's intention..." Tong Kunhu smiled, "He told me that finding someone like you is the key to unlocking the lock!"

"Key? What do you mean? What is a lock?" Hearing what Tong Guohu said, Zhang Yicheng was taken aback. "This lock is the 'mao array' that caused your classmate to suffer from some kind of ailment!" Tong Guohu turned around, revealing his long-lost E. T．Laughing, "Hong Xiuquan founded the religion of worshiping God, and he believed in God. Do you know why he named the country 'Taiping Heavenly Kingdom'?" "Should we hope for peace in the world?" Zhang Yicheng questioned, not knowing what kind of medicine Tong Guohu sold in his gourd.

"I hope there is peace, but he still raises troops to rebel? To be honest, staying at home is the most peaceful!" Tong Guohu laughed, "Tell you, the old Hong family did not create such heresy art of Maoshu! The word "Taiping" is the same as The Taiping you mentioned is not the same thing!" According to Tong Guohu, in the 5,000-year history of the Chinese nation, there have been only two peasant uprisings that were purely based on religion and were large enough to shock the ruling dynasty. One was the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the other was at the end of the Qing Dynasty. the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao, a Julu native, claimed to have won the "Taiping Yaoshu" gifted by the immortals to create "Taiping Dao". It was transformed into an insurgent army in an instant, and the world was in chaos for a while, and the government and the public were shocked. Although the uprising was finally settled by Cao Cao, this uprising directly led to the formation of the Three Kingdoms in the Later Han Dynasty. The scale of its impact can be seen. An uprising of such a large scale spreads across the country, among which there are millions of disciples. It is obviously unrealistic to rely on mouthpieces alone. 1.8 million people, if you don't have any real skills, you can't do it.While calming down Zhang Jiao, Cao Cao himself had lingering fears about the so-called "Taoism" that Zhang Jiao used to confuse people's hearts. He simply handed over some captured upper-level members of the Yellow Turban Army to court warlocks for severe torture. During the interrogation by the leaders, Zhang Jiao’s demagogic tricks were finally seen through by a court warlock named Wu You. According to Wu You’s analysis, Zhang Jiao’s so-called "Taoism" is the same as the current mainstream "Five Dou Rice Dao". There are indeed some similarities, but there is nothing to do with it at all. As the saying goes, "This way is not the other way, like the way but not the way", Zhang Jiao's "Tao method" is actually the tampered ancient six arts "Maoshu" in.Hearing that Zhang Jiao used "Maoshu", Lao Cao was even more worried. According to Wu You, Maoshu was strictly abolished as early as more than a hundred years ago during Wang Mang's restructuring, and now it has not only revived, It even got worse and almost shoveled the government, is that okay?From Cao Cao's point of view, although Zhang Jiao is dead at this time, he cannot relax his vigilance against ancient magic such as Maoshu. Right now the yellow scarf is gone, but if this kind of magic is allowed to develop freely, it may be uncertain. How about tricking out a red scarf and green scarf one day?Therefore, before Cao Cao could handle Sun Quan and Liu Bei, he concentrated his energy on Maoshu.After Cao Cao's death, Sima Zhao killed Cao Mao and usurped the power of Cao Wei, and sent Zhong Hui and Deng Ai to settle Xishu and unify the world. Although Sima Zhao and the Cao family were sworn enemies in politics, but in policy However, Sima Zhao inherited Mr. Cao’s legacy of exterminating the remnants of Maoshu. The first thing he did after he ruled the world was to investigate and crack down on the remnants of Maoshu throughout the country. Ancient witchcraft, like a bug sprayed with pesticides, died in a short period of time. "There is an old saying in China, 'a centipede is dead but not stiff'," Tong Guohu said, "Although Sima Zhao's ban made Maoshu completely extinct for more than a thousand years in the Jin Dynasty and even later generations, this thing is still alive today. Asked in the late Qing Dynasty but came back to life..." "You mean, the 'Taiping' of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the same thing as Zhang Jiao's 'Taiping Dao'?" Zhang Yicheng frowned and didn't know why, this Tong Guohu's opinion was simply unheard of... "Think about it carefully, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, why is it called the Yellow Turban Rebellion?" Tong Guohu stretched out his finger and pointed to his head, "Wrapping their heads in yellow scarves is their most obvious feature! Do you know what the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is like?" "This..." Zhang Cheng couldn't help being stunned, and carefully recalled the illustrations in history. It seemed that the heads were indeed covered with cloth, but the illustrations were in black and white, so it was hard to determine what color they were. "During the uprising, Du Wenxiu called on his subordinates to wear Ming clothes. This is understandable. After the Manchus entered the customs, many anti-Qing forces liked to use anti-Qing and restoring Ming as a pretense. Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom said they were anti-Qing, they did not advocate restoring Ming. ;Although they worship God and Western gods, their attire is also different from that of foreigners, and it is also different from previous dynasties. Hong Xiuquan was born in the late Qing Dynasty, and he is not a fashion designer. Why did he figure out that weird attire? ?” Tong Guohu narrowed his eyes and pointed to his own head. "Based on the clothes, you believe that Hong Xiuquan has inherited Zhang Jiao's mao technique?" Zhang Yicheng seemed a little disbelieving. "Of course it's not just clothes..." Tong Guohu said, "Do you know what secrets lie under the cloth on their heads?" "Not exactly!" Tong Guohu walked to the bed and pulled out a large rattan suitcase from under the bed. It seemed to be quite old in color, "Look at this!" Tong Guohu lifted the suitcase and took it out from inside A very dirty bright yellow hat with a strange style, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, almost like a policeman's cap with the brim removed. There is also a piece of bright yellow silk cloth attached to the back of the hat, which is embroidered with darker silk thread. All kinds of messy patterns, at first glance, it looks like the costumes used by some folk folk arts in the south to perform on stage. "This is the hat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? It's a big cap..." Zhang Yicheng took the hat, which seemed to be the same size as the illustrations in history books, "Brother Tong, I remember that the hat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom seems to be a piece of cloth, find a circle around it A hoop, similar to that of Arafat..." "That's a hat for ordinary people or ordinary soldiers! In the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, only princes are eligible to wear this hat!" Tong Guohu took the hat from Zhang Yicheng, pointed to the inside of the hat, "Look here!" "This... what is this... Could this be Maoshu?" Following Tong Guohu's instructions, Zhang Yicheng also found that the inside of the hat seemed a little tricky. Some weird patterns can be vaguely seen in the stains. At first glance, they are somewhat similar to Taoist talismans, but they are completely incomprehensible when you look closely. "Almost..." Tong Guohu said, "This is a talisman!"
