Chapter 686 The World Is in Chaos
Jia Huan began to cultivate his hopes, which was strongly requested and promoted by his senior brother Zuo Youxian.
According to his senior brother, when the first Taoist teachings were passed to the west, the strength of the Taoist lineage would expand rapidly, and it would not be difficult to become the first Taoist lineage in Taoism.
But as the first Taoist lineage in Taoism, if there is no grandmaster sitting in charge, is it reasonable?
The senior brother said very directly that it was a pity that he was only a martial arts grandmaster. If he wanted to become a martial arts grandmaster, he didn’t know if he had any hope in this life, otherwise how could Jia Huan take such a big advantage?
A martial arts grandmaster was indeed not equal to the identity of the first Taoist lineage in Taoism!
Just like Sun En, the Taoist master of the Tianshi Dao in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Dragon and Tiger Mountain at that time was eclipsed by him.
In this world, it still depends on fists to speak!
It must be said that the bigwigs of the Central Plains Taoism still know what they are talking about.
Jia Huan’s understanding of the Taoist scriptures of each lineage and his knowledge of martial arts were beyond their imagination, and it was definitely not as simple as the appearance.
It's just that people are in trouble, and they don't want to get to the bottom of it.
It's a rare opportunity for these Central Plains Taoist masters to get targeted advice from Jia Huan.
In the past, their levels were similar, and no one was convinced by the other when they talked about the Tao. The final result was often that they quarreled and got angry, and finally broke up unhappily.
At the same time, the Central Plains Taoist forces, including Louguan Dao, have also been operating rapidly, and more elite personnel and resources have been continuously transported to the northwest border.
Since the Taoist lineage has opened a gap and given an opportunity, they naturally have to seize it.
This is a great opportunity to expand the influence of each Taoist lineage to the Western Region!
At this time, we can see the true foundation of the Central Plains Taoism, which is not exaggerated.
Although there are not many disciples, they are all talents!
Instead of letting them stay in various Taoist temples to practice hard, it is better to send them to the Western Region to train well.
In fact, there is not much room for the Taoism in the Central Plains!
Throughout the story of The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, the number of times the Taoist sect appears is too few, and there are not many outstanding characters.
There is no other reason. The government does not have much support. The power of Buddhism is extremely amazing, and the holy sect is not much behind. According to the fantasy world, the Taoist sect is not favored by luck at this time.
Jia Huan and the leader of the Taoist sect in the Central Plains also mentioned it briefly, but there was no in-depth discussion.
However, he wanted to find the generation of medicine king Sun Simiao through the Taoist sect in the Central Plains.
Jia Huan did not hide his thoughts and directly explained the reason: "In my opinion, there are people in the Central Plains Taoism who have the opportunity to break through the Grandmaster or even the Grandmaster level, and Sun Simiao is definitely one of them!"
"He has the talent of a genius doctor, can calm down and study medicine, and has a kind heart to save people all over the world!"
"Do you feel familiar? Yes, what this person did is too similar to what General Tiangong did in the early days of the late Han Dynasty, but he did not have the idea of gathering people to form a force, which is rare!"
"I heard that Sun Simiao is the descendant of Sun Daozhu of Tianshi Dao, but I don't know if he has inherited Sun Daozhu's famous and unique skill "Huang Tian Da Fa"?"
"To be honest, the current situation in the Central Plains basically does not have an environment for practicing "Huang Tian Da Fa", unless Sun Simiao is willing to participate in the warlord disputes, which is unlikely given his personality!"
"But if it is in the Western Regions, There is another difference. Sun Simiao can even become the lord of a city in the Western Regions, spread medical skills as a medical successor, and practice the "Huang Tian Da Fa" normally! "
"The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, and the level of civilization is not high. It is very suitable as a testing ground for the spread of various ideas! "
"Of course, the most real reason is that I want to see the power of "Huang Tian Da Fa"! "
"According to the records in the classics and the various behaviors of Taoist Master Sun at the time, I guess that "Huang Tian Da Fa" is probably a method to gather people. To put it bluntly, it can gather the power of people's faith for its own use! "
"It feels magical to think about it. If it is really as guessed, then "Huang Tian Da Fa" is really an incredible means. I am afraid that it will be very easy for practitioners to break through the master or even grand master level! "
I don't know whether the big guys of the Central Plains Taoism believe it or not. Anyway, Jia Huan has explained the reason.
Otherwise, how can we say that the Central Plains Taoism has a deep foundation? It didn't take long for Sun Simiao to come.
To be honest, Sun Simiao is also a Taoist, but he is famous as a descendant of a medical family.
Jia Huan saw at a glance that this King of Medicine was a master of the late Xiantian period.
Come to think of it, this person often wanders in the deep mountains and old forests, and stays there for a long time. If he did not have enough strength to protect himself, he would have died without a trace of bones.
In front of Sun Simiao, he told all his thoughts and solemnly invited Sun Simiao to stay in the Western Regions for a while to spread his medical skills.
As for the matter of "Huang Tian Da, Fa", it depends on whether Sun Simiao is willing to try it.
Sun Simiao quickly responded: he accepted the invitation of the Taoist ancestor's true lineage, and he said frankly that he also wanted to go to the Western Regions to take a look. As for spreading medical skills, it depends on fate.
Jia Huan did not force it. It was already very good to be able to invite Sun Simiao.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave Zhongnan Mountain, people from Longhu Mountain came to the door.
The northern Dao sect has been making frequent moves recently, and Longhu Mountain has naturally heard the news.
After they found out that it was a big move by the Dao Ancestor lineage and the subsequent events that followed, they naturally became interested and wanted to get involved.
The reason Longhu Mountain can become one of the most important Taoist sects is because the first generation ancestor Zhang Daoling destroyed the mountains and temples, and turned the Bashu area, which was originally full of witchcraft and strange arts, into an important source of incense for Taoism.
What the Taoist sect is doing now is essentially the same as what Zhang Tianshi did back then.
The biggest difference is that the Western Region is more vast. If the Taoist sect is really successful, the influence will be much greater than that of Zhang Tianshi.
For such a good thing, Longhu Mountain will naturally participate, and even invest a lot of resources.
Jia Huan naturally did not refuse, and he hoped that the Central Plains Taoist sect would contribute as much as possible.
There is no worry that the dominant power will fall to others, even within the Taoist sect, the size of the fist must be considered.
It must be said that the Central Plains Taoist sect really has no confidence in this regard.
Speaking of which, the Central Plains Taoist sect is quite cautious in its actions. In addition, the Central Plains region is full of rebels at this time, which attracted too much energy from the court and local government, so naturally they did not notice the small actions of the Central Plains Taoist sect.
Although Yang Guang's second expedition to Goguryeo ended with a dramatic result due to Jia Huan's rebirth, there was no third expedition to Goguryeo that almost destroyed the foundation.
However, the two expeditions to Goguryeo also caused heavy damage to the heartland of the Central Plains.
Do you really think that mobilizing a million troops and recruiting millions of civilians is such an easy and simple thing?
The amount of food and supplies consumed during the period, as well as the amount of military equipment, is absolutely an astronomical figure.
All of these have to be shared by the people, and the burden is too heavy.
Even if the Taoist lineage absorbed labor and settled in the northwest border, the casualties of the people were not as exaggerated as in the original history, but it is an indisputable fact that Yang Guang's imperial authority was seriously damaged.
Even the authority of the court was seriously challenged!
For example, Wang Bo of Changbai Mountain, and Wagang and other uprisings, either spontaneously or secretly fueled by someone with power, all appeared.
