Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Fairy Supermarket

There is a poem that arranges the levels of human pursuits from low to high. Without exception, all human beings, from ancient to modern times, from all over the world, fall into it and cannot escape.It is very famous, and I believe many people have seen it. ——Running around all day is only for hunger, so I have to eat and think about clothes.Put down the silk and wear it on your body, but when you look up, you think the house is low.Tall buildings and mansions have been built, and there is no beautiful wife in front of the bed.All the beautiful wives and concubines are married, and I suddenly worry about going out without a horse to ride.Buy a high-headed golden pommel horse, and seldom follow the horse.He recruited dozens of family members, and was bullied if he had money but no power.Time to turn to be a county magistrate, complaining about the low position of officials.Once a senior official, he longed for the throne day and night.Once he was the emperor in the south, he conquered the barbarians in the east and west.All the kingdoms of the world surrendered and wanted to play chess with the gods.Dong Bin played chess with him and ordered him to go up the ladder quickly.Before the ladder to heaven was started, the king of Hades dealt cards and ghosts came to remind him.If it weren't for this person's limit, it would be too low to ascend to the sky.If the Jade Emperor asked him to do it, he must think that the Tiangong is not gorgeous.

Based on this poem, Zhao Ji jumped to the last step in less than ten years.He wants to become a fairy, want to be extraordinary, and want to get rid of vulgar interests. Then, we can only start with religion, but there are too many religions. When the time flowed to the Song Dynasty, there were all kinds of religions that appeared on the East Asian continent. Even the legendary Persian Zoroastrianism has factual evidence.Which one to choose? Naturally, it is Taoism. What did Zhao Ji’s great-great-grandfather Zhenzong Zhao Heng believe in, and how did he believe in it? With such a glorious precedent, does Zhao Ji still have to think from the beginning?

What's more, he himself has witnessed the magic of Taoist priests.That is the leader of the Taoist priests, Liu Hunkang, the twenty-fifth generation master of Maoshan.During Zhezong's time, this grand master went to Beijing to show his magical powers, and took out the embroidery needle that was accidentally swallowed into the throat for the then empress Meng. This is a very sophisticated surgery. Another thing is very amazing. It is said that one day Master Liu was silent and motionless, even if the emperor sent someone to summon him, it was as if he didn't hear him.When he finally got up and came to Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji asked him: "What are you doing, it took you so long to come?"

Master Liu said: "Just now I went for a walk in the sky. I was supposed to be back soon, but I just saw the spring list outside the Nantian Gate. On the list is the list of nobles who will pass the scientific examination next year. I looked at it for a while, so I was late. .” Zhao Ji asked: "Do you remember?" "remember." "Okay, write it down and hide it in this small box. We'll see when it's announced next year." In the second year, the spring list was released, and the Golden Hall called the names. The top two were Cai and Ke Di.Opening Zongshi Liu's small box, he found a piece of paper inside with "two grasses and two trees" written on it.

No more words, absolutely correct. As a result, Master Liu's status was established, and the effectiveness of Taoism was beyond doubt.Next, Zhao Ji also became supernatural.He first had a dream, in which he soared for nine days and boarded a fairy palace.The god inside told him, "You are destined to rejuvenate my religion." The immortal is dressed as a Taoist priest. Zhao Ji solemnly told the ministers around him about the dream, and the ministers understood it and informed the lower levels.But the effect was not very good, and not many people were shocked.In hindsight, it was probably because there were no bystanders, he had a dream himself, and then announced it to the ministers alone, which is not very credible.

Another reason may also be that the scale is too small, and the people of the Song Dynasty who have undergone Zhenzong's god-making movement have too high immunity, resulting in indifference. How to do it?The smart Zhao Ji thought about it, said nothing, and did nothing, until November of the third year of Song Zhenghe (AD 1113), one day he had to dress up and go out to worship heaven in Yuanqiu as usual. On that day, the ceremony was grand and the courtiers were all ready. Zhao Ji went out of Nanxun Gate on a jade scorpion and rushed to Yuanqiu.Just after leaving the city, Zhao Ji suddenly pointed in front of him and asked a young man beside him, "Cai Aiqing, if there are many buildings in the east of Yulu Garden, where are they?"

Cai, is the famous Xiao Cai.Cai Jing's eldest son, Cai You.Cai Jing has many sons, and Cai You is very special. He didn't follow his father's way to catch up with the emperor. When Zhao Ji was still the prince, he won the favor of the future emperor. When Zhao Ji went out of the palace, he would often meet a young man who was two or three years older than him.When the young man saw him, he would dismount immediately and stand aside with his hands folded. Over time, Zhao Ji asked who it was, and left and right replied that he was Cai Chengzhi's son. Cai You's name entered Zhao Ji's heart at this moment, and he was regarded as a half-poor friend.At this time, Xiao Cai understood and replied: "I saw it. There are indeed several hidden buildings in the clouds. If you look carefully, they are all tens of feet high from the ground."

"Really? Ai Qing, your eyesight is very good. What else do you see? Is there anyone there?" "Yes, there are Taoist boys holding banners and festival covers, keeping formation and walking among the clouds, and I can see their eyebrows and expressions, as vividly as in front of my eyes." The surrounding ministers and guards heard it, and shouted long live in unison, the gods really descended to the world, but we are too stupid, only the emperor and Cai You have a fairy relationship, so we didn't see it. Therefore, Zhao Ji built a Taoist temple here, named it "Yingzhen", and wrote "Records of Innocent Enlightenment".From then on, the Song Dynasty once again sparked a nationwide Taoist revival movement.

During this movement, Taoism reached its highest peak in history and became the only religion that combined politics and religion in the Zhengshuo Dynasty of China.Zhao Ji is that unity. First of all, he is the emperor, but he claims that besides Shenzong, he has another father.The father is the Jade Emperor, or God for short.He is the first son of God, the firstborn.The official in the sky is called Emperor Shenxiao. Because he loves the land of the Central Plains, when he looked down from the sky, he found that the vast land was full of bald heads, that is, Buddhist believers. He was really angry, so he asked to be born to save the people of Li. .

In his mouth, Buddhism is called "Jin Di's religion".Gold, the five elements of China and the West belong to gold, which is a sense of direction, pointing to the ancient India of Tianzhu. How can a dignified Chinese noble heir shave his head and worship the gods of a foreign race?It's simply forgetting the ancestors!Therefore, Zhao Ji, as the leader and the emperor, gave Taoist believers a certain halo. The first thing is to learn. Zhao Ji asked the people of the whole country to make every effort to excavate the Taoist intellectual heritage. Whoever can turn in the orphaned and rare Taoist classics will be promoted and rich immediately.The classics are sorted out by the official designated person, and finally synthesized into a collection of Wanshou Dao Zang.According to legend, "Nine Yin Scriptures" is a by-product of this movement to rescue classics...

Then there is still learning.In the Song Dynasty, schools at all levels such as Zhouxue and Taixue added an additional subject, the Great Classics, or the Small Classics.The students choose a classic, study it carefully, and get a prize if they learn it well. The great classic refers to the "Huangdi Neijing"; the small classic refers to the "Liezi". During the study, Taoist priests developed.They have identities, with 26 grades from low to high, and their grades are equal to the official ranks of court sergeants.Those who have rank have power, and when they see officials, they don't have to salute or bow their heads.This is not just against the court, it is simply beyond the top. To have power is to have money.The Taoist priests overhauled the Shenxiao Palace all over the country, and the temple envoys were no longer part-time by officials, but were all held by brothers in the religion, so the generous wages of the temple posts became private land. Finally there is one ultimate perk.No matter who has committed any crimes, except for anti-Song, anti-Zhao, and anti-humanity, as long as he joins Taoism, his reputation will be restored immediately and he will be a new man. In this process, the monks suffered great misfortune.First, the name was changed. The monk is called Deshi, the Buddha is called Jinxian, the Bodhisattva is called Immortal, the Arhat is called Wulou, King Kong is called Lishi, and the Sangha is called Xiushan. Then the place to live was gone.The Shenxiao Palace is to be built in various places. Officially, it is said that the Taoist temples in various places will be renovated, but in actual operation, Taoist priests with 26 rank officials in their hands stopped the renovation project team with smiles. Why extravagance and waste, the house is still the original house, no matter how you repair it, what tricks can it make?You go around, measure it on the spot, find the largest Buddhist temple, drive out the monks in it, and rebuild the Shenxiao Palace there... What's more, the original clothes can't be worn anymore.Zhao Ji said that when he was in the sky, he looked at the densely packed bald people on the ground, and he didn't even like the cassock, crown, tin staff and other things.These must be changed. Changed to look like a half Taoist priest.A crown of stars must be worn on the head, but no patterns of sun, moon and stars are allowed, just a dark hat.This is nothing, the big deal is to tie it around the neck with a belt.But there is no way to deal with it under the hat.Underneath the authentic star crown is a crown scarf, which looks chic and beautiful with the long flowing hair of Taoist priests.But the monk is bald, what's the matter? The monks had a way, they put on wigs.The wig is combed into a bun and the hairpin is fastened. It looks very harmonious from a distance without any flaws.All of the above are just conventional facilities, implemented at the civil and official levels. How should I put it, in a word, it is a rule for mortals.There is a god above man, and in the realm above the mortal world, this is the real goal that Zhao Ji pursues. There is such a sentence in the official documents of the law at that time: "...there are yin and yang divination techniques and weird and eccentric techniques, and you get the name of Mr. Shishi, and the official regards you as a righteous man, and your favor is more than that of Daoliu." In other words, people with supernatural powers are treated better than officials and ordinary Taoists.To what extent it is high, take the experience of the tallest person in the capital as an example. When it comes to immortals and supernatural powers, modern society should be familiar with them.On the land of China, countless special people have sprung up like ants before the rain. They can perform gong exercises from a distance to cure people, and they can gather people to hold meetings to arouse aura. All the participants cry, laugh, sing and dance together. Over a hundred meters of river water, I saw a canned bottle on the river bed.And so on, it is an eye-opener, and I feel that it is an honor to be a human being, and it is indeed the spirit of all things.But after looking at the history of Song Dynasty, you will find that after nearly a thousand years, various magical functions have not only not developed, but have actually regressed. The Song Dynasty was the most mysterious era in Chinese history.According to records, only a few very special eras such as pre-Qin, Shihuang, and Hanwu can surpass it.However, if calculated accurately, all of the above have their own shortcomings. Compared with the Song Dynasty, the various legends and mysteries in the pre-Qin period are indeed more dazzling, but the historical data are not accurate and there is basically no evidence; too low. Longevity is originally the lowest and most elementary level of immortality.Qin Shihuang looked for Xianfang, was ridiculed by the alchemists, and was so angry that he went on a killing spree; crossed the sea to find Penglai Island, but the personnel never returned, and created a Japanese country that was suspected of being descended from Xu Fu... As for Han Wu, he is a miniature in this respect In the version of Shihuang, he has done everything that Brother Yingzheng has done. It is not easy for the Western Han Dynasty to survive for several generations behind him. After that, even the Tang Dynasty was included, and there was nothing like the fairy scenery of the Song Dynasty.In Zhao Ji's era, there were all kinds of goods, and there were representatives of each kind. In the category of prophecy, Liu Hunkang, the twenty-fifth generation master of Maoshan mentioned above, once predicted the top two names in the second spring list.This is handsome, but very pediatric. People in the spiritual world can talk about tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. Among them, the one with the longest span and the most accurate prediction is Zhang Xubai. Zhang Xubai is in charge of the Taiyi Palace, the official Taixu doctor and Jinmen feather guest.In his palace, Zhao Ji personally ordered the addition of four halls: Hongdao, Zhenxue, Huibin, and Yinzhen.They also built nunneries and small pavilions, all of which were inscribed by Zhao Ji himself. What makes Zhao Ji value him so much, because he often drinks. Zhang Xubai is a typical person who utters the truth after drinking. Whenever he is drunk, he will suddenly lie down on Zhao Ji's lap, muttering to himself, saying some cloudy words. These words will come true after some days.What's more, when he is happy at a certain moment, he will directly say what will happen on that day. Nostradamus's "The Centuries" also uses pictures, poems and other code words to vaguely hint at the future. No one can say exactly what happened on a particular day with 100% accuracy.But Zhang Xubai did it.One of his most classic predictions is that many years later, news of the collapse of the Liao Kingdom spread to Kaifeng, and the people of the Jin Kingdom claimed to have captured the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi.At this time, Zhao Ji asked Zhang Xubai: "This is true or not, what do you think?" Zhang Xubai happened to be drunk at the time, he lay on Zhao Ji's lap, and said slowly: "Emperor Tianzuo has been waiting for His Majesty for a long time while building a palace on the sea." These words made the surrounding ministers sweat collectively, Yelu Yanxi is the king of subjugation and a prisoner of his rank, while Zhao Ji had just won the highest achievement award of the emperors of the Song Dynasty at that time, and the height he reached could not even be compared with the founding king Zhao Kuangyin. Zhang Xubai actually predicted such an emperor as the second Yelu Yanxi Palace, is there anything more rebellious than this?What a vicious curse!Anyone would have to kick this monster out, and beat him up if he didn't want to behead his head, so as to get rid of his bad luck. But Zhao Ji just smiled, he patted Zhang Xubai on the back, and said: "Zhang Hu, you are drunk again." Years later, history proved whether Zhang Xubai's prediction was correct. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a story about a fairy. Tang Minghuang Li Longji missed Concubine Yang very much after losing it. He called alchemists to look for it.This alchemist was very brave. Not only did he find Concubine Yang on overseas fairy mountains, but he also brought back some private words of Li and Yang back then, which made the parties unable to doubt. It's awesome, it also existed in the Song Dynasty, and it's even better. Wang Laozhi, a native of Puzhou (now adjacent to Puji in the southwest of Juancheng County, Shandong Province), was originally a small local official, but later he abandoned his official position to learn Taoism.When he was in his hometown in Shandong, someone made trouble for him, but suddenly he fell into a deep hole under his feet.A large scale armor was exposed from the bottom of the pit, and the people who came to make trouble turned around and ran away in fright.After running for five miles, thunder and hail fell overhead. He can manipulate the world's fortunes and misfortunes at any time. After Wang Laozhi entered Beijing, his beloved concubine Liu Shi happened to catch up with Zhao Ji and died of illness. Zhao Ji invited him into the palace when he was sad, and asked about Liu Guifei's situation in another world.Wang Laozhi said that Concubine Liu Gui is the Zixu Yuanjun in the sky, and now her soul has returned to Daoshan, and she has regained her cultivation, but through him, Zhao Ji can talk to Concubine Liu Gui.Zhao Ji is skeptical. Another noble concubine, Qiao Shi, asked, she was very close to Liu Shi, does Liu still miss her now? Wang Laozhi didn't speak, he took out a letter.What is written in this letter is actually a private conversation that Qiao, Liu and Zhao Ji said when they were together a year ago! Wang Zai, a native of Hongzhou, Yuzhang (now Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province), was an omnipotent deity who claimed to be omnipotent.According to records, there was a very rare drought in a certain year in Zhao Ji's time.This is not nonsense. In that special era, the weather was equally peculiar. On the land of China, the weather has been smooth and rainy for many years, and the country has abundant production and abundant grains. This rare drought made Zhao Ji unhappy, and decided to send a heavyweight player to deal with it once, and crush it to death at the first sign of disaster.Therefore, Wang Zixi appeared on the stage, and for the grand atmosphere, Zhao Jiyu gave a piece of yellow paper so that Wang Shenxian could draw amulets. All eyes were on that day, Wang Shenxian picked up a cinnabar pen, and the pen quickly drew a small talisman on the yellow paper, but failed to burn it on the spot according to the normal procedure, so as to communicate with the gods in heaven.He turned his head suddenly, and said to the imperial envoy who brought the paper, "Take the talisman away, boil it in water and wash it." "Ah?" The imperial envoy was puzzled, what the gods were saying, this is praying for rain, it's not cooking soup!He refused to accept it, saying: "The emperor wants you to pray for rain, you screwed everything up like this!" But Wang Shenxian was furious and shouted sharply: "Stop talking nonsense, take it right away!" So the imperial envoy had to hold on.The talisman was delivered to Zhao Ji, and His Majesty Huizong suddenly had a flash of inspiration in the confusion, and then broke out in cold sweat.He sent someone to throw the talisman into the water to boil, and at the same time called a concubine. The concubine is suffering from pink eye disease, she looks like a rabbit, no amount of imperial doctors can cure her.After the talisman water was boiled, after washing for a while, he recovered immediately.What is a fairy, this is a fairy. Those who can understand the hard work of the leader and think about the leader are the truly useful gods! Wang Zixi improved Zhao Ji's life, which is very valuable, but it is not too difficult after all.Because curing diseases and saving lives, and predicting the future are all the first-level skills of the gods, and the person who appears below is the upper-level figure among the gods. Practitioners use emptiness to control reality, everything is empty, and gradually practice, they can achieve inaction and do everything.This is the popular program of Chinese Taoism. On top of this, there are always some individual figures in the Taoist world who are special in every era. What they believe in is "Cultivation while excellence is opposite". There is really no way to do this, just like holding a big bag of gold ingots in your hand, if you don't spend it, it's really itchy.These gold ingots are the hearts of ordinary people. When cultivation reaches a certain level, there will always be a large number of believers.Believers are the most loyal followers. Even in modern times when atheism has become the mainstream, people are constantly being bewitched, let alone the feudal era? Therefore, if there are many believers, it is inevitable that they will not rebel.Such as Zhang Jiao in the Han Dynasty and Hong Xiuquan in the Qing Dynasty.This kind of character also existed in Zhao Ji's era. He was Zhang Huaisu from Shuzhou (Qianshan, Anhui). Zhang Shenxian, who called himself a downcast Taoist, had a very free and easy image in his early years. When he was in Chenliu, he wore a ragged robe, no crown or hairpin, his head was full of wild flowers, and he sang and played games in the downtown area at will. He was simply the "sharp brother" of the Song Dynasty.At that time his name was Monk Dai Hua. Monk Dai Hua was selected and sent to the capital by grassroots cadres, and quickly became popular among the upper class.Cai Jing, Cai Bian brothers, and Lu Huiqing in his old age all interacted with him cordially and exchanged life experiences.This process shocked the top bosses of the empire. Although their lives were turbulent, they were only a few decades of ups and downs. Monk Dai Hua wandered through the years without knowing where to end.He once persuaded the sage when Confucius killed Shaozhengmao, saying that the killing was too hasty; he climbed the hills before and after the battle of Chenggao, where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought for the world's most ruthless battle, to see how the two sides fought. It sounds like a fairy tale, but Cai Jing and others actually believed it. What is going on? Anyway, I don’t doubt Cai Jing’s IQ. So is it true? ! After that, there was no wall for him. In the capital of the Song Dynasty, no matter whether it was a big house, a deep courtyard, or a high-ranking family, he could come in and out at will, and he didn't even care about the place where the female relatives lived in the backyard. why?Hehe, since ancient times, women have been the backbone of religion, and nothing can stop them from pursuing the truth and purifying their souls!Of course, in this process, their reputations also need to be cleaned... Zhang Huaisu was arrested around 1107 in Zhenzhou (now Yizheng, Jiangsu Province) in the same year, and the accompanying believers and more than a dozen beautiful disciples were killed together.Cai Jing and the others urgently cleared up the relationship, and only when they worked in the office of Yushen Zhongcheng, Yushi Zhongcheng, and Lin Bing, who knew Kaifeng Prefecture, did they get rid of themselves. The last person to appear was Lin Lingsu.He is the most psychic existence in this era. He is a monster himself, a master and a psychic terminator. Since his appearance, all other psychic people have been unable to work. Because there is no other tricks to play. If one has to say that someone has surpassed him, there is only the "immortal" who appeared at the most critical moment in the Northern Song Dynasty.It is the "immortal", not the capital of the Han people opened by the legendary barbaric and irresistible foreigner. Lin Lingsu, whose first name was Lingye, was named Tongsou.A native of Wenzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.He was born as a commoner, and it was the poor life that forced him to embark on the path of practice. It's just that the best Taoist priest in the future was actually a monk at the beginning. He worshiped a monk as a teacher and studied Buddhism.Buddhism is also a formal practice subject, and he was a master at first, but his luck was too bad, and he met a violent master.The master beat and scolded him all day long, and in a fit of anger, he decided to transfer to another school. In her youth, Lin Lingsu left her hometown and went to Sichuan to study with a famous Taoist Zhao Sheng.After that, he became supernaturally powerful, but still worried about survival.Once he had no money to pay the bill after drinking, and he really despised himself in embarrassment, so he raised his hand and slapped himself hard. After a slap in the face, the onlookers were all dumbfounded.All the flesh and skin on the left side of his face, which had been slapped all the time, were gone, turning into a skeleton, while the right side was the same as a normal person! With such supernatural powers, he was quickly escorted into the capital to meet the emperor. Zhao Ji was in a trance when they met. For some reason, he blurted out, "Aiqing, have you ever been an official? Have you ever met Zhen?" Lin Lingsu smiled, "Yes, Your Majesty. When I served the Jade Emperor, I met Your Majesty." He caught it, but it was pulled up to the sky.The two met in heaven! Zhao Ji was even more dazed, and really entered the state, and then asked: "I remember when you rode a green cow, where is the cow now?" Lin Lingsu said without hesitation, "The cow is fostered in a foreign country, and it will be delivered in two days." One question and one answer, harmonious and smooth, reminiscent of the fairy tower that Zhao Ji and Cai You saw outside Nanxun Gate not long ago.But that was the tacit understanding that Zhao Ji and Cai You had built up after more than ten years of dating. Lin Lingsu just entered the court, so the two just met, okay? Where did it fit so well? ! What's even more wicked is that within a few days, Koryo really paid a tribute to a green bull... what else is there to say, the green bull was given to Lin Lingsu, and from then on, he can ride the green bull in a stately manner every day Go up to the palace. Just this scene, the hearts of those who saw it trembled.Qingniu, who is the person riding the Qingniu in Taoism?As we all know, it is Li Er and Lao Dan, the supreme patriarchs of Taoism, that is, the Taishang Laojun! What he did next was all the things that the previous supernatural beings had done but he could do better, and the previous supernatural beings wanted to do but shrank.First, the rainfall.Wang Zaixi's previous rainstorm was a brain teaser in the final analysis, he played tricks to benefit Zhao Ji personally.The political consciousness is very high, but the rain did not fall at all. Strictly speaking, Wang Zixi failed. But Lin Lingsu actually made it rain.Still in that drought, Zhao Ji continued to beg for rain, and begged for his old acquaintance Lin Lingsu in the sky.In the face of difficulties, Lin Lingsu also shook his head. He said: "This is what God, that is, your father's intention, is to prevent rain in Kyushu. For this purpose, even all the rivers and rivers in the world have been imprisoned." Zhao Ji was shocked. Lin Lingsu changed the subject, "At present, there is still a large river that is not restricted, but it is useless. It is the Yellow River. There is too much sediment in the water. Even if it falls, it will not be good for the crops." Zhao Ji let out a long breath, "Do people who are thirsty still carry water to drink? As long as there is water, it doesn't matter if it is muddy or not." So, Lin Lingsu went on stage to do the trick, and it really rained cats and dogs, but after the rain, the sky and the ground were covered with yellow mud, not to mention the crops were undrinkable, even the streets had to be cleaned... Second, fighting skills. Maybe you don't know that the Zhao Dynasty in the Song Dynasty was a Taoist paradise, but Zhao Ji's eldest son, later His Majesty Qinzong, was actually a Buddhist believer.The future His Majesty is devout. Seeing that there are fewer and fewer monks in the land of Shenzhou, and more and more wigs are being sold, he can't help but feel angry. Aren't Taoist priests supernatural powers?Could it be that they are greater than the Bodhisattvas of the heavens and the Arhat King Kong?Facts speak louder than words.With an order, the son sent a great monk, and the father sent Lin Lingsu. Due to limited data, the specific process cannot be verified, but the result is very accurate.The monk lost a complete defeat, and the son was not only injured in his faith, but even the most basic request was rejected. His Majesty in the future said that fighting is from the realm of gods, and punishment is from the realm of mortals. Even if the monk loses, there is no need to punish him.But Lin Lingsu didn't do it, what he wanted was to win or lose, what he wanted was to be up and down, and he had to be punished. Thus, the monk was put in prison... Now he has completely offended the Crown Prince at that time and the future His Majesty.But he was not afraid, the third thing he did was related to politics, let alone the crown prince, he dared to interfere even with the emperor's face and the political affairs of the empire. Every day, Lin Lingsu rode a green bull into the palace, and the princes, grandchildren, nobles, ministers and veterans were all floating clouds along the way, and they all had to give way to him.Of course, at some point he will also encounter heavyweight roadblocks, such as the crown prince. Seeing the future emperor, Qingniu immediately became excited. Not only did it not give way, but it accelerated and rushed over.Obviously, the subtext of the action couldn't be clearer. Either let me go first, or hit me.But it is a bull, let the majestic crown prince bump into a bull?Don't be kidding, the clan of the Song Dynasty is counted together with the emperor. Since Zhao Guangyi, they have never killed anyone with their own hands, let alone let a bull hit a donkey. At this time, the future His Majesty Qinzong's mind came up with the holy deeds of the great great-grandfather His Majesty Renzong.When Renzong was walking in the palace at night, he suddenly found a person lying in front of him. This person was snoring loudly, and he could smell alcohol all over his body from a long distance away. This is not bad! The waiter reported that this is the bachelor Shi Manqing (do you still remember the wine saint mentioned earlier).Renzong nodded, walked around him carefully, and warned the servants not to disturb him. What generosity and kindness is this.Ever since, every generation of Song Dynasty emperors took this as a model.Ever since, in Zhao Ji's era, the crown prince was forced to give way to a green bull... Under the watchful eyes of the people, a Taoist priest swaggered past him! Absurd, grotesque, and often chaotic, this is just the beginning.When Lin Lingsu entered the palace, all eyes were on him, even the eyes of Emperor Zhao Ji followed him, so he saw an astonishing scene. Lin Lingsu suddenly got off the cow, turned to the side of the road, knelt down and kowtowed.Zhao Ji was shocked, the whole palace was shocked, what happened to Lin Shenxian?Then, everyone noticed the target of Lin Lingsu's kowtow. It was a stone tablet that was famous all over the world, and it was engraved with the names of people. Everyone was famous all over the world, but now they gathered on this stone tablet and became the official pillar of shame in the Song Dynasty. Monument to Yuanyou Party Members. It's all treacherous and evil, Lin Lingsu, as a national-level authentic god, how can she sing against the government?Don't you know that those who oppose the government are evil?Zhao Ji lowered his face very rarely, and asked Lin Aiqing: "Why are you crazy?" Lin Lingsu kowtowed a lot, then turned around and stood up, "Your Majesty, most of the names above are stars in the sky. I'm sure I've seen them in the sky before. Now they're together , how can I not pay my respects?" Zhao Ji was stunned, he instantly remembered two things.First, a few days ago, there was a shooting star in the sky, and he was forced to review his work; second, because he changed his title to Taoist Emperor, Taoist priests from all over the country gathered to give him a blessing. This time, setting up a ceremony to pray for blessings was super formal, but when Zhao Ji arrived, he suddenly found someone sleeping secretly.He was furious and shook vigorously, only to find that the Taoist priest was still unconscious. After finally waking up, the Taoist said: "The reason why I fell asleep is because my soul went to heaven and was on duty for the Jade Emperor." "On duty... has it been on duty for so long?!" "Uh, that's because Kui Su, the big boss in Xingxiu, was reporting work to the Jade Emperor. He talked endlessly, so I had to stand endlessly." "Kui Su..." Zhao Ji's eyes lit up, "Aiqing, have you seen Kui Su? What does he look like?" The Taoist smiled strangely, "Kui Su, you have met him before, he is Su Dongpo, a scholar of the Duanming Palace." Zhao Ji was shocked, "Kui Su, Kui Mulang...the yellow-robed monster!" Su Dongpo actually had such a big background, thinking of this, and Lin Lingsu's proof at this time, Zhao Ji almost wanted to cry without tears.He wanted to be a god, but he didn't ascend to the sky, so he made enemies first.What's the matter, he immediately ordered to smash the steles of Yuanyou party members, not only the one in front of the palace, but also the steles of party members in front of the government offices of prefectures, counties and counties all over the world. From then on, the Yuanyou party members who had been persecuted for three generations finally breathed a sigh of relief. When historians of all ages talked about this, they would always say that it was against the will of the people.Even the monks know who is good and who is bad, and they are complaining for Su Shi and others, and even more condemn the new party, Cai Jing and Zhao Ji.There's nothing wrong with that, but they're ignoring a bigger problem. In the era of Zhao Ji, Taoist priests were so powerful and powerful that they could not be estimated. They dared to compete with the crown prince, dared to interfere in the country's affairs, and even reversed the government's ideology abruptly! At this point, may I ask who ruled the world in the universe at that time? But Zhao Ji was still not angry, and he didn't feel any danger. His favor for Taoist priests and his recognition of Lin Lingsu escalated again.Soon after, through himself, he brought Lin Lingsu before the people, making it possible for him to become the spiritual teacher of the Song Dynasty. Since ancient times, the greatest desire of every sect has been propaganda.Every religion that has crossed the long river of time and reached the 21st century came in this way, without propaganda, that is, without believers, and without existence. Therefore, the greatest wish of every ascetic is to go before the public.This is true not only for monks and Taoists who are good at preaching scriptures, but also for Tantric masters who practice hard on the snowy plateau.Looking at the history of Tibetan beliefs, from time to time, a certain lama master will suddenly appear in front of the people. Apart from preaching, he wants to raise funds to build a temple or a high tower. Back in the Song Dynasty, no matter how many supernatural beings there were, no matter how much Zhao Ji believed in them and treated them kindly, he never gave them a chance to face the public. Only Lin Lingsu, whom Huizong honored as the emperor, held a seminar for him.That time was a real meeting of ten thousand people, even a meeting of one hundred thousand people.According to statistics, there are more than 20,000 disciples of Lin Lingsu himself in Beijing alone.They usually live in rich clothes and fine food, and are of high status, at this time they all mobilized to create momentum for the master. But the biggest momentum comes from Zhao Ji.The emperor ordered Taoist priests with positions to go, and they all had huge salaries. The fields of each Taoist temple were hundreds or thousands of hectares. Please imagine their wealth. These people are responsible for providing souvenirs and fasting meals for the conference.As for the quantity, it is unlimited.All the people in Kaifeng City, as long as they bring a piece of green cloth towel as a mark of listening to scriptures, no matter who they are, even beggars and vagrants, they can enter. Go in, you can get a sumptuous vegetarian meal and three hundred copper coins.In addition, for the first time, you can also have close contact with the emperor, clan, ministers and other high-ranking dignitaries. Zhao Ji set up a royal tent at the venue, and listened to Lin Shenxian's lecture together. With such a grand occasion, most of the people present were full of longing, thinking, what would Immortal Lin say?Will it be like Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty who organized a Buddhist meeting a thousand years later and taught scriptures for a few days, and seven or eight people would claim to be enlightened and transcend the mundane world? The answer is no. The Song Dynasty was a free and democratic country. Everyone, including women, had the right to express their subjective opinions. In other words, how could there be political behavior in such a sacred and high-end ceremony? What appeared was bursts of happy laughter. According to records, Lin Lingsu gave a lecture on the stage at that time, explaining a paragraph and explaining a paragraph. Anyone who does not understand or has a different opinion can interact with Master Lin at any time. Lin Lingsu replied immediately. How's the scene?Look at the original text record - "... Lingsu occupies a high seat, so that people will ask questions again, but what they say is indistinguishable, and they are always mixed with funny butterfly language, and everyone laughs loudly. There is no courtesy of a monarch and ministers." This is a text that exists to criticize supernatural events and criticize Lin Lingsu. If the fate of the Northern Song Dynasty is used as the benchmark, it makes sense.After all, the prosperity of Taoism this time did not bring good luck to the Han people. But from the statement itself, Lin Lingsu is right. Let's talk about the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers first. This seems to be the biggest bottom line, which cannot be broken or touched.But, this is for cultivating immortals and becoming enlightened, okay, the emperor is just a mortal, put aside for cultivating immortals, what will you do if you want to show the emperor's profile?What's more, he still calls himself the emperor of Daojun. Let's talk about laughter. In people's minds, it seems that ascetics are old-fashioned, born to meditate silently, laughing or crying, all of which are manifestations of a low spiritual level.What's more, deliberately telling jokes and turning the dignified Fa conference into a stage in a large courtyard? This is a misunderstanding. People who have not participated in the Fa conference take it for granted based on their imagination. It's too far away, and there is no actual research. Let me give a modern example.What is the reputation of the late Mr. Zhao Puchu, the great master of Buddhism and the president of the Buddhist Association of China? One time, when he was promoting Buddhism to the public, a young lady stood up and asked him questions in public.The lady said: "Buddhism advises people to purify their six senses and become a monk. If this continues, human beings will no longer get married and will not be able to reproduce. Wouldn't the species be extinct?" Admittedly, this is a serious question. But Zhao Puchu's answer was, he asked back: "Madam, will you become a monk?" "No, of course not." The lady refused. "Hehe, that's fine. There are still people who don't leave home. Humans will continue to reproduce, so there is no crisis?" Zhao Puchu said.The audience roared with laughter, and the lady laughed too, not knowing whether it was embarrassment or understanding, so she sat down.The problem was solved, and the meeting continued. Excuse me, is the problem really solved?Did Zhao Puchu answer anything?None, if this lady is calm, if she is meticulous, if she really wants to know the answer, she should keep asking. For example, Buddhism talks about saving all sentient beings, and the ultimate pursuit is for all to go to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss together.For example, Dizang said that if hell is not empty, he will not become a Buddha, which is what he means.Then, if we continue to pursue like this, this life is not enough, and there is another life to come.In the next life, if the practice is still insufficient, and if you still get married and have children, then there will be another life. 如此类推，如释迦本人那样，终有一生会圆满。那么，推广到极致，每个人都会成佛。那时何来民众，谁会结婚，人类不灭绝还有第二条路吗？ 多么严峻的结果，可是笑声终止了这一切。这样的事太多了，根本不能独责林灵素。 法会的本来面目就是如此，谁听说过在凡俗之间聚众讲课能学成神仙的，以为是沈阳市铁西区下岗就业证啊。人，首先是一种实体存在，每一分的进步都必须脚踏实地。 原则是，你做了什么事，才是什么人。过着怎样的生活，才能活出怎样的风采。林灵素之流，或者其他时代的各种大师之流，也迈不出这个范围。认准这个宏观理念后，相信没人会再对聚众讲法有什么期望。 而林灵素们，也用自己的实际结局，印证了这一点。 说说上面这些神仙们的结局吧。从高到低，依次排列，结局最好的是茅山第二十五代宗师刘混康。这位宗师很显然是道士中的贵族，吃过见过，明白怎样在红尘中潇洒一游，知道最大的重点是适时地离去。 他对赵佶若即若离，得到了巨大的封田、赏赐、头衔之后，很快就淡出了赵佶的皇家灵异班底，他走了，让茅山的道统得以继续流传。 接着是张虚白。严格地说，张虚白到皇宫里只是做了点小买卖，他用自己的预言天赋，和赵佶换了些御酒饭菜。除此之外，他什么都不要。 赵佶想过多给他，先是大笔金银，他不要；有人劝他利用机会帮人说话，撞赵佶的木钟。张虚白摇头，说朝廷做事有宰相在，与他没有关系。 他离去时很飘然，没用皇帝发路费，没用大臣们送行，自己静悄悄地走了。多年之后，他曾经再一次露面，那时赵佶已经走进了命运的另一个时段里，无尽的黑夜笼罩了北宋，也压垮了他。 赵佶哭着对张虚白说：“你以往说的话都应验了，真是后悔当初没听你的。”当是时，虚白叹息一声，说：“事已至此，无可奈何。愿陛下爱护身体，以往之事已无法挽回了……” 王老志相对凄苦些，他写出已故刘贵妃生前与好友一起服侍赵佶时的私语后名声大振，京城里达官显贵、大款老板都来找他问前程。 方法是测字，一字定终身，一字定富贵。 真是灵啊，每天门庭若市，时间长了，惹得蔡京大怒。蔡京是有理由发火的，有个好玩的现象，当官的人都迷信。他们要前程，要富贵，可这些东西，都不是水平、努力等后天因素到位了就能搞定的。 更多的是运气，是上级的不可预知、极难捉摸的好感，这些非常缥缈的东西，才是决定性的。甚至明明在好运里，一个突发事件就毁了一切。 具体到北宋，就是全体官场对蔡京敬若亲爹。现在王老志突然杀了出来抢生意，经他算过，官员们心里都有底了，相应的，蔡京的威慑力极大地降低。 蔡京写了份奏章，要赵佶下令士大夫严禁算命，要保持官员队伍的纪律性！ 王老志沉默了，他关起门来拒绝见客，平时就俭朴的生活更加清苦，每天只吃一餐，全部的饭菜只是汤饼四两，外加冬夏衣服各一套。 真是惊人地节俭，但是他仍然收到了千里之外的师父的痛骂，混账徒弟，汝太奢侈了。于是王老志自责，忧虑，生病，请假。 赵佶准假放他回乡，王老志一路步行走回濮州，回到老屋后默默不语，没多久就病死了。 以上三人知进退守本分，从没忘记自己是谁，哪怕是王老志，也得到了善终。其他的就不一样了，他们是进取型的神仙，一生只想往前飞，不见棺材不掉泪。 他们分别是修而优则反的张怀素、爱护领导的王仔昔、大成者林灵素。 别的道士追求凡间富贵时半遮半掩，王仔昔不，他赤裸裸急吼吼地扑了过去，尽一切可能抓钱抓权，不放过一丁点能够得着的。 他把赵佶爱妃的眼睛治好之后，成了整个后宫的“妇女之友”，赵佶的耳边时刻回响着王仔昔是最可爱、最体贴、最柔顺的温暖型道士的话，时间长了，赵佶由爱生敬，脑子一昏，以客卿之礼待他。 客卿，是一个有尊严的词汇。它不同于大臣，大臣要向皇帝三跪九叩，君要臣死臣不得不死；不同于家臣，家臣是奴仆，生杀予夺只在家主一念之间。客卿是一种接近于平等的雇佣关系，君有钱我有力，互相信托，以仁义礼仪对待。 客卿，是有尊严、高待遇、视荣誉为生命的“士”。 自从王仔昔有了这个身份后，他变成了一个超然动物，国家法令、等级尊卑，都不放在他的眼里。他在皇宫里闲逛，在大臣家出入，给权钱交易疏通关系，参加各种政要集会，彻底变成了国家的一分子，再不是隐世界里的幕后名人了。 这样搞，后果怎样……请参考王老志的遭遇。连王老志给人测字算命都忍受不了的蔡京先生，会容忍这种现象吗？这是挑衅，抢班夺权。 蔡京又写了一封奏章，写完想了想，王仔昔是个地道的反骨仔，不是王老志那样好对付的，要双管齐下才行。这时，正好一个消息传了进来。 王仔昔雄心大发，要统一京城内的修道界。他在宝箓宫里像教主一样，对其他的道士颐指气使，把道友当奴隶。 这太棒了，上天要毁灭一个人，先让他疯狂。蔡京悄悄地约见一个叫孙密觉的道士，等王仔昔被道士集团告发，后院起火之后，才递上自己的奏章。 王仔昔当天夜里就进了开封府后院的大牢里，几乎在当夜就遭遇监狱风云，死在了黑房子里。对外的理由是，他心灵郁闷肉体疲乏受了点风寒少吃了几顿饭（瘐毙）。 林灵素是集大成者，他的倒台不是具体哪个人能做到的。前面蔡京能打压二王，好像对一切都尽在掌握。可是他对林灵素不仅毫无办法，还得在林神仙炫耀的时候鼓掌微笑。那是一次修真界的盛会，众多大臣、道士在场，林灵素光彩夺目。 他对赵佶说：“陛下是上帝长子神霄玉清王，主持南方，号长生大帝君；您的弟弟号青华帝君，主持东方（奇哉，东小南大了）。贫道林灵素是神霄府里的客卿，叫褚慧；蔡京是左元仙伯，王黼是文华吏，盛章、王华为园苑宝华吏，郑居中、童贯等都是仙卿……连几个有名位的妃子都有天上的职称。” 蔡京、童贯于此时能怎样，大声反驳吗，只能是顺水推舟，让皇帝在谎话里加倍沉醉。这就是林灵素高明的地方，他懂得花花轿子众人抬，在自己创收的时候，不挡别人的财路，甚至不管对方愿不愿意，都拉上自己的贼船。 像这次神仙职称大派送，我风光你们也漂亮，为什么会不高兴找我麻烦呢？于是乎，林灵素的路越走越宽，在整个上层建筑里无往不胜。 直到他遇上了下层建筑。 宣和初年，公元1120年左右，开封城遇上了洪水。周边水系忽然间决堤，水势滔滔涌向了开封城墙。这时候人力没办法了，以前的例子证明，洪水来了只能让它来，想淹哪儿就淹哪儿。参照赵佶爷爷宋英宗时代，大水把皇宫里的侍卫都淹死了好几十人，这次怎么能例外呢？ 关键时刻，赵佶头脑冷静勇于幻想，他想到了城里囤积着大量的神仙。神仙能求雨，能退水，很好，传旨以林灵素为首，道士们登城作法退水。 那一天，道士们各举法器盛装出行，登上了开封城头。他们正要排列队形摆出退水大阵，突然间敌人从身边杀了过来。 几千名护城的役夫举着大棒子没头没脑地砸向了一班道士，打得人仰马翻，那叫一个残酷。在抱头鼠窜的队伍中，最显眼的还是林灵素。他是重点打击对象，想想他两万多门徒每天散布开封城各个角落无所不为，得有多少老百姓想把他生吞活剥了。 事情闹大了，赵佶怎么也没想到可亲可爱的林道士有这样大的民愤。这时，蔡京等人借机发力，抖落出林灵素这些年的劣迹。 林灵素被押解回乡，死在了老家附近的楚州路上。
