Chapter 56
“Marshal Wen was really kind-hearted. He had a chance to survive, but in order to save the whole village, he chose to drink the poison, which led to his death. He was really kind-hearted.”
“Marshal Wen was also very lucky. He didn’t expect that he would die after saving the entire village. He was promoted to the Marshal of Heaven by the Jade Emperor. What a wealth he had!”
“There are many strong people in our world who are not worse than Marshal Wen in character! You have saved more people than Marshal Wen, but you still die forever. How can you become an immortal?”All the creatures in the heavens and the worlds envy the luck of Marshal Wen, and at the same time admire his noble character.
Everyone is curious about Marshal Wen. Why was he favored by the Jade Emperor?
There are countless people in the heavens and the worlds who sacrificed their lives to save the people. Why was Marshal Wen the only one who was named a marshal after his death and entered the heaven?
This is simply too fantastic.
The world of Shrouding Heaven
“If Marshal Wen can enter the heaven and be named Marshal,
I think Taiyin, Taiyang Emperor, Nine Saints, Void Emperor, Hengyu Emperor and other ancient emperors are all qualified to enter the heaven.”
“Among their contributions to the people of the world, which one is lower than Marshal Wen’s?”
“Which one of them did not burn every drop of blood and tears for the people of the world?”
Ye Fan was full of emotion and sighed.
Before he entered the fairyland, he was particularly eager to enter the fairyland.
But now the fairyland has been connected and united by Laozi.
All the enemies of the entire Shengxu world have been solved.
What Ye Fan wants most now is to go to the heaven of the Taoist myth world.
So, when he saw Marshal Wen go from a mortal to the marshal of the heaven, he was particularly envious.
Moreover, Marshal Wen was originally a person who sacrificed himself to save the people of a village.
If he can become an immortal and enter the heaven in this way, Ye Fan feels that there are many ancient emperors in their world who are not inferior to Marshal Wen.
Even Jiang Taixu and Gai Jiuyou are among them.
……
Super God World
“Marshal Wen and Marshal Guan are really lucky to be able to enter the heaven from mortals. And they entered the heaven after death.”
Kaisha was extremely envious and excited.
If she could also have such luck and be seen by the Jade Emperor in heaven, then she would also have a chance to enter the heaven.
……
Genshin Impact World
“These four marshals are truly admirable, and their stories are all moving and moving.”
Zhongli was filled with emotion and envy.
He longed for that heaven very much, but unfortunately he would never have the chance in this lifetime.
……
Everyone in the heavens admired these four marshals very much.
At the same time, they were envious of the two marshals, Wen and Guan, who entered the heaven from mortals.
Everyone in the heavens sighed that these two marshals were so lucky.
They were blessed by the gods and entered the heaven.
At this time, there was another change in the sky.
【In the Taoist mythology world, there are four great celestial masters named Zhang Daoling, Ge Xuan, Xu Xun, and Sa Shoujian.
The four great celestial masters?
Zhang Daoling, Ge Xuan, Xu Xun, and Sa Shoujian?
People in some worlds are very familiar with the names of these four celestial masters.
Everyone can’t believe it’s true?
Could it be that the founders of Taoism in their world really have a close relationship with the four gods?
【Zhang Daoling, courtesy name Fuhan, originally named Zhang Ling, was a native of Fengxian County in the Eastern Han Dynasty.】
【The founder of Taoism in a certain world. Because the Five Pecks of Rice Sect he founded was also known as the Celestial Master Sect, he is also called Zhang Tianshi】
【Legend of Zhang Daoling’s Immortality】
【According to legend, Zhang Daoling was the eighth-generation grandson of Zhang Liang, a founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty. His father was called Zhang Dashun, who was good at magic and called himself”Tongbai Zhenren”. When he gave birth to a son, he named him”Ling”, hoping that he would follow his ancestors in the future, stay away from the world, and ascend to the tomb to become an immortal.】
【Zhang Daoling was extremely intelligent since childhood and had read the Tao Te Ching at the age of seven.》】
【When he was a student at the Imperial College, he was well versed in the Five Classics, and was familiar with books on astronomy, geography, and the prophecies of the Yellow River and Luo River. More than a thousand scholars followed him.】
【But he often sighed that the books he read could not solve the problem of life and death, so he gave up Confucianism and studied the way to longevity.】
【When Zhang Daoling was 26 years old, he was appointed as the magistrate of Jiangzhou, but soon resigned and lived in seclusion in the Mang Mountain in the north of Luoyang, contemplating and studying Taoism.】
【Emperor Zhang of Han and Emperor He of Han successively summoned him to serve as Grand Tutor and Marquis of Ji County, but he declined both positions.】
【After that, Zhang Daoling began to travel around famous mountains and rivers, seeking the way to immortality.】
【He first traveled south along the Huai River and lived in Taiping Mountain in Tongbai. Later, he crossed the river with his disciples Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng and went south to Yunjin Mountain in Guixi County, Jiangxi Province.】
【Yunjin Mountain is a place of tranquility and beauty, and was the home of ancient immortals. Zhang Daoling built a hut on the mountain and built an altar to make elixirs.】
【Three years later, the magic elixir was completed and a dragon and a tiger appeared, so the mountain was also called Longhu Mountain.】
【Zhang Daoling was 60 years old at the time. Hearing that the people in Sichuan were kind and easy to educate, he moved to Heming Mountain in Sichuan.】
【On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the first year of the reign of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, the Supreme Lord Laozi descended on Shu and taught Zhang Daoling the”Zhengyi Mengwei Dao”, asking him to eliminate demons and save the people.】
【Zhang Daoling founded Taoism, revered Laozi as the founder of the religion, and took”Tao” as the highest belief.】
【He ascended to heaven in the second year of Yongshou, at the age of 123.】
【Later, Zhang Daoling was named”Grand Master”,”The Three Days Teacher”,”Zhengyi Jingying Zhenjun”,”The Great Master of Santianfujiaofuyuan, the True Lord of Zhengyijingyingxianyou”,”The True Lord of the True One”,”The infinite and wise God of the universe”】
【The Zhengyi sect calls the founder the Heavenly Master, the Supreme Prime Minister of Taixuan, and the Great Saint who conquers demons and protects the way.】
【Zhang Daoling went to Sichuan because he heard that the people of Sichuan were honest and kind, easy to educate, and there were many famous mountains, which was beneficial for establishing a religion. He also heard that the rash in Bashu was harmful to the human body, and the people were suffering from diseases and disasters, so he wanted to use talismans and elixirs to treat people.】
【After entering Sichuan, he first lived in Yangping Mountain, then in Heming Mountain, and also went to Xicheng Mountain, Gekui Mountain, Qinzhong Mountain, Changli Mountain, Yongquan Mountain, Zhendu Mountain, Beiping Mountain, and Qingcheng Mountain, where he practiced his mind and tempered his will.】
【In the sixth year of Yonghe, Zhang Daoling wrote 24 Taoist books, called himself”Taiqing Xuanyuan”, recruited disciples and established a Taoist grassroots organization.】
【Those who followed his teachings had to pay five dou of rice, which was then called the”Five Dou Rice Teachings”.”】
【Later, Zhang Daoling claimed that the Supreme Lord Laojun had descended in person and gave him the”Three Heavenly Laws” and named him”Heavenly Master”. In the same year, he also gave him the”Essential Daoist Texts of Zhengyi Science and Technology”.”,”The”Miaojing of Zhengyi Mengwei” was named”Santian Fashi Zhengyi Zhenren””】
【He also claimed that the Supreme Lord Laojun had established 24 states in the second year of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty: the upper eight states, the middle eight states, and the lower eight states, and asked the Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling to carry out the teachings.】
【Zhang Daoling then established 24 religious activity centers in the Bashu region, namely the 24 administrative centers, and appointed chief priests to lead each household, just like the governors.】
【From this time on, Taoism began to have a formal religious organization, the”Zhengyi Mengwei Dao”, which was later called the”Tianshi Dao”.”】(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
【Zhang Daoling used talismans and spells to cure people’s illnesses. He also taught people how to make salt, which was later called”Lingjing” (using salt water from a well to boil salt).】
【The family benefited from it and worshipped him as the Heavenly Master, with tens of thousands of disciples.】
【He also established rules and regulations, requiring the disciples to take turns to provide rice, silk, utensils, firewood, etc.; he did not impose punishment, but ruled people with kindness. He asked those who were sick to write down the sins they had committed since birth, throw the written words into the water, and make a covenant with the gods not to commit sins again, a covenant of life and death.】
【Zhang Daoling respected Laozi as the founder of Taoism, regarded”Laozi’s Five Thousand Words” as the highest classic, and compiled”Laozi Xianger Notes” to develop Laozi’s Taoist thoughts.】
【Taking”Tao” as the highest belief, he compared”Tao” with Laozi and claimed that”Tao” is”one”,”When scattered, it becomes Qi, and when gathered, it becomes Taishang Laojun”】
【《Laozi Xianger Zhu is said to be a commentary on Laozi’s Daodejing written by Zhang Daoling.】
【《The ideological content of Xianger Zhu mainly includes three parts: First, about keeping the commandments of the Way.】
【《Xiang Er Zhu believes that”Tao” is dedicated, sincere, pure and natural, and kind. As long as people abide by the precepts of Tao, they can prolong their life and avoid disasters and gain blessings.】
【《Xiang Er Zhu believes that if you are good at preserving your essence and energy, you can achieve immortality. It advocates the harmony of the five internal organs and the five elements.”Harmony leads to mutual growth, while conflict leads to mutual restraint.””】
【The key to the art of sex is explained as follows:”Essence is the spirit. If you want to keep the spirit alive, you should gather the essence and keep it.” It is believed that if you master this key, you can also achieve immortality.】
【In order to protect oneself, one must be free from desire, inaction, fame, not greed for fame, not be competitive, and not do evil.】
【《Xiang Er Zhu believes that practicing Taoism is not just the business of Taoists, but also something that emperors should do.”The Tao is a transformation that starts from the high and goes down to the low. It refers to the king. Therefore, one person is honored and there is no second king. Therefore, the king should always practice Taoism, and then extend it to the officials and people. It is not just the Taoists who can practice it. The king should also abandon it.”】
【Moreover, the great sage kings all followed the way of teaching and enlightened the world, so they were able to achieve a peaceful and prosperous society. Later emperors gradually lost their way, and when the king and his ministers followed the way of teaching, a peaceful and prosperous society could be achieved, and the people would be at peace.】
【The”Tao” here refers to the Tao of life, that is, the Tao of being quiet, having few desires, and being kind and loving life; and war is killing, so”war is not in accordance with Tao”, and the emperor should abide by the Tao of life and start fewer wars.……】
The people in the heavens heard some of Zhang Daoling Tianshi’s annotations to”Laozi’s Five Thousand Words”. Many people seemed to understand some of the scriptures written by Taishang Laojun.
Instantly, they felt that their cultivation had skyrocketed and their lifespans had increased a lot.
The people in the heavens were all impressed by Zhang Tianshi’s ability to reach the sky. Such profound and profound maxims of the supreme way were actually transformed by Zhang Tianshi into such easy-to-understand morality.
This is amazing!
This”Xiang Er Zhu” is really a blessing for the people in the heavens.
It’s a pity that everyone only heard a small part of the explanation and did not get all the annotations.[]
This made everyone in the heavens feel regretful and disappointed.
If they could get all the explanations, everyone in the heavens would have the confidence to become immortals and enter the real heaven.
【Legend has it that one night during the reign of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Supreme Lord Laozi descended upon Zhang Daoling’s residence and gave him a pair of swords and many talismans, asking him to destroy the six demon kings and eight ghost generals that were rampant in Sichuan.】
【Zhang Daoling practiced for a thousand days and mastered various magics to subdue demons. Soon, the eight ghost commanders led hundreds of millions of ghost soldiers to harm the human world. They brought various plagues and diseases, and harmed all living beings.】
【Zhang Daoling set up a Taoist altar on Mount Qingcheng, rang bells and chimes, called the wind and rain, and commanded the divine soldiers to fight against these evil spirits. He stood on a colored glaze seat, and any sword or arrow that approached him immediately turned into a lotus.】
【The ghosts set fire again, but Zhang Daoling pointed his finger and the flames burned back.】
【The ghost commander was furious and summoned thousands of troops to surround them. Unexpectedly, Zhang Daoling used the Dan Pen to draw, and all the ghost soldiers and the eight ghost warriors kowtowed and begged for mercy.】
【But they refused to accept the defeat, and invited the six demon kings to lead millions of ghost soldiers to attack Qingcheng Mountain. Zhang Daoling was calm and unmoved, and just used the Dan brush to draw lightly, and all the ghosts died, leaving only the six demon kings who fell to the ground and could not get up, so they had to kowtow and beg for mercy.】
【Zhang Daoling used a big brush to split a mountain into two halves, trapping the six demon kings inside, unable to move, so the demon kings had to promise not to harm the world forever. 】When the people in the heavens saw the legend of Zhang Daoling’s immortality and his various pasts, they all felt extremely magical and envious.
Zhang Daoling is really an amazing person. He created Taoism in a certain world, and later he was favored by Taishang Laojun. From then on, he got the Tao and saved all living beings. Finally, he became an immortal and entered the heaven. These magnificent stories made everyone in the heavens dumbfounded, stunned, and envious.
One person’s world.
All the people in Longhu Mountain, Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, Wang (Nuo Qianzhao), Zhang Lingyu, and even the old Tianshi, were all dumbfounded and stunned.
They couldn’t believe that the Tianshi Zhang Daoling introduced in the sky was actually the Taoist ancestor of their Longhu Mountain.
Zhang Daoling Zhang Tianshi had already entered the Taoist mythology world and became one of the four great Tianshi in the Taoist mythology world.
This made everyone in Longhu Mountain excited. Everyone’s blood boiled, and some even cried for joy.
“~I never thought that our Taoist Patriarch Zhang Daoling had already ascended to heaven and became Zhang Tianshi of the heaven!”
“Who dares to look down on us, Longhu Mountain?! Who dares to look down on our one-man world?!”
“This is too incredible! I can’t believe this is true! However, the picture played on the sky screen is indeed Longhu Mountain!”
【Ge Xuan is the founder of the Lingbao School of Taoism. He is a model of someone who successfully achieved the high level of immortality through mortal cultivation activities.】
【Ge Xuan, courtesy name Xiaoxian. A famous Taoist master during the Three Kingdoms period, founder of the Lingbao School of Taoism】
【Ge Xuan studied Taoism with Zuo Ci as his teacher and received the Taiqing Dan Jing.》、《Jiuding Danjing》、《The Golden Elixir Classic and other alchemy classics were later passed on to Zheng Yin】
【He once practiced Taoism at Jiangxi Gezao Mountain, often fasting and taking medicine, and was good at spells and many other magical arts.】
【Ge Xuan is also known as Ge Xian Gong, Taiji Zuo Xian Gong, Chongying Zhenren, and Chongying Fuyou Zhenjun.】
【The story of Ge Xuan’s immortality.】
【Ge Xuan was a sorcerer who studied the”Nine Elixirs of the Golden Liquid” under Zuo Ci, often took medicine, was good at curing diseases, casting spells to command ghosts, and was good at magical transformations. He eventually transformed his corpse into a corpse.】
【Later, he became an immortal by refining the elixir, and was an immortal who ascended to heaven in broad daylight. 】
Ge Xuan became an immortal by refining the elixir?
He entered the heaven by practicing Taoism in the human world!
You have to know that this is the heaven in the Taoist mythology world!
This made everyone in the heavens envious.
