Chapter 1700 Tan Yangzi and Longsha Prophecy

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The so-called ¡®prophecy¡¯ refers to prophecies and omens that are about to be fulfilled.  It has been seen frequently since ancient times. The more famous ones include "Hu, the one who destroyed Qin", "Liu Xiu should be the emperor", "The one who succeeded the Han Dynasty, should be Tu Gao", "Peach plums, win the world", "The heroine is prosperous" and so on  ¡­

    "Longsha Prophecy" is also one of them. It is said that there was a Xu Zhenjun Xu Xun in the Jin Dynasty. He had great magical power and was respectfully called "Xu Xian" by the world.

    "One time Xu Xian killed a rebellious dragon. Unexpectedly, the dragon was still pregnant. The dragon escaped from the dragon's belly. His disciples wanted to hunt down the little dragon, but Xu Zhenjun stopped him and said that it had not done any harm yet and should not be killed.  At the same time, he also prophesied: "One thousand two hundred and forty years after my immortal's death, eight hundred earthly immortals will emerge from Yuzhang and Wuling. Their teachers will be the incarnation of Tanluan Bodhisattva, and they will spread my religion."  At this time, if the little snake does harm, the eight hundred people should kill it. If it does not harm anything, it cannot be killed.  ¡¯

    Later, Jingming Tao, a branch of Taoism he founded, predicted based on this that one thousand two hundred and forty years after Xu Zhenjun's ascension would be the Longsha period, and the world would be in chaos. When he died, eight hundred earthly immortals would be reincarnated to put an end to the chaos, and then they would become immortals.  Ban and immortal blessings will be enjoyed forever.

    This is the so-called ¡®Longsha Prophecy¡¯, which has been very popular since the Song Dynasty.  In this dynasty, some good people calculated that one thousand two hundred and forty years after Xu Zhenjun's ascension fell in the middle of the Wanli period of this dynasty.

    This has become an enduring social hot spot. Not only are scholars talking about it in lectures, there are always people talking about it in the streets and alleys.  Much like the 1990s, everyone was talking about the end of the world.

    In this repeated discussion, Longsha's prophecy has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Many people in the Ming Dynasty believe that Longsha's prophecy is about to come true.  It can even be said that it is this fear of imminent chaos that makes the idea of ??instant gratification deeply rooted in people's hearts, so that hedonism can prevail in society, and the authority of reality has also been undermined to a certain extent.

    "The person who brought this human drama to a climax was Wang Xijue's second daughter, Wang Gui because Wang Xijue won the title of Toad Palace in the year she was born, so she was given this name.

    As I said before, this girl has been unremarkable since she was a child and has a weird temperament.  I have no interest in the Four Books and Five Classics, and I don't want to learn female beauty. However, I have been obsessed with religion since I was a child. I study all kinds of Buddhist scriptures and Taoist canons all day long, sit and meditate, and my family is very disliked by my arrogance.

    Later, when she was about to leave the cabinet, she could send this fairy away. Unexpectedly, her husband died before she could leave the palace.  She then claimed that she wanted to observe the festival for her late husband. This was a good virtue strongly promoted by the government. It was very rare in this era of moral decay, and naturally her family could not stop her.

    Who would have known that she not only kept the rules, but also became a female Taoist priest.  She claimed to have been taught by an immortal and was the incarnation of Tanluan Bodhisattva, so she called herself Tanyangzi.  He also wrote a poem to promote himself:

    "Zuoji Tanyangzi, when he was the king, he harmed the wind."  Wuling is the leader of the religion, and Guyue is a solitary peak.  Before the two ends are reached, the nine rings will turn red.  ¡¯

    Wang Haifeng is Wang Chongyang.  This means that I, Tan Yangzi, will be the second Wang Chongyang in the future, and I will be the leader of the sect at Ancient Moon Peak in Wuling.  Before the evil dragon comes, you all should hurry up and become my disciples.

    It¡¯s a very popular poem, and its intention to gain popularity is very obvious.  But at this time, the number of religious opportunists who claimed to be the immortal masters in Longsha's prophecy ranged from 100 to 80, so they were not new.

    But it is very rare to find a female Taoist priest who does this, and she is the daughter of the Wang family in Taicang!  Relying on the reputation of the Wang family, her starting point is naturally very high. After several appearances and several lectures, her reputation has spread wider and wider, and she has become a master.

    Later, because Wang Shizhen offended Zhang Juzheng, she resigned from office and returned to her hometown. She paid a visit to Tan Yangzi and sat down with her to discuss Taoism.  As a result, he was impressed by Tanyang Zikou Canlianhua's theory of "the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism", and soon decided to become her disciple.

    Wang Shizhen is the leader of the literary world and a great master of the generation. With his help, Tanyangzi naturally becomes more powerful, and his popularity skyrockets.  Moreover, Wang Shizhen also gave another explanation for Longsha's prophecy. He transformed the eight hundred earthly immortals who were born to bring peace to the world into eight hundred people who would ascend physically and become immortals.

    And his master Tan Yangzi is the master of eight hundred earthly immortals, the one who decides who can be ranked in the immortal class.  Under his strong advocacy, celebrities from all walks of life came to worship him, praying to the immortal master to give them a place.  Even Wang Xijue couldn't resist the temptation of becoming an immortal and worshiped his daughter as his teacher.

    These disciples who had the right to speak in society worked hard to praise the immortal master. This allowed Tanyangzi to develop hundreds of thousands of followers in Jiangnan in just a few years. Even within the Jiangnan Group, many people secretly became her followers.  believer.

    Although due to group regulations and the limited number of Tanyangzi disciples, no one has yet accepted her as a disciple, but it has aroused high alertness from relevant departments.

    There was no group in the entire Ming Dynasty that was more vigilant about religion than the Jiangnan Group.  Not to mention that this dynasty was founded on religion, only to say that the??As we expand our territory overseas, the biggest enemy we encounter is also religion.

    On the surface, Portugal and Spain traveled thousands of miles to spread Catholicism.

    Secretly, what is even more troublesome is that countries in Southeast Asia have generally converted to Tianfang religion or Hinduism. If this problem is not properly handled, we may be able to live in peace when we are strong and the other is weak.  But once the sea changes and China goes against the times, it may lead to miraculous disasters.

    Therefore, Zhao Hao established the sixth committee, the ¡®Religious Affairs Committee¡¯, which reports directly to the board of directors, to study how to deal with religious issues in the vast ruling area.

    The motto of the ¡®Religious Committee¡¯ is ¨C Religion is politics!  How could we turn a blind eye to this sudden rise of a sect right under our noses?

    ¡°If Zhao Hao hadn¡¯t secretly ordered the Religious Committee to observe and study ¡®Tan Yang Yi Sect¡¯ as a sample of a new religion, they would have already recommended to the board of directors to ban this potentially extremely harmful organization.

    In the research report issued by the Religious Committee, its various harms were analyzed item by item.  Including but not limited to the fact that it is easy to trigger mass incidents; it is easy to form political organizations with ulterior motives; it harms the dissemination of science; and the close relationship between the Wang family and the group makes it easy for political opponents to attack the group.

    And in the secret report given by the Security Office, the resumes of the current Tanyangzi disciples were analyzed one by one.  It is not difficult to find that they were either rural eunuchs who had offended Zhang Juzheng and were forced to step down, or idle officials in Nanjing who were frustrated in the Wanli Dynasty.  Either they are celebrities who are far away from the court but always pursue to maintain influence; or they are the disciples of Xinxue and famous lecturers who were severely attacked by Zhang Juzheng

    In short, they are a group of people on the fringes of the political arena.  The purpose of such a group of people coming together is naturally to maintain or even improve their influence and voice outside the court.

    This is the motivation behind a group of extremely smart brains working together to weave this absurd dream of becoming an immortal.

    ??~~

    Oh, by the way, the director of the Religious Committee is Xu Wei.  The research report on Tanyang's disciples was given by him after infiltrating its internal affairs.

    Xu Wei told Zhao Hao that on the Double Ninth Festival this year, Tan Yangzi will hold a daytime ascension ceremony and perform a live performance to become an immortal.  The best way to eliminate her influence is to expose her tricks at the ceremony.

    But Fatty Xu did not advise Zhao Hao to do this. He believed that in the final analysis, she was actually a tool for the frustrated scholar-bureaucrats to unite and compete with the imperial court for the right to speak.

    With today¡¯s social and political atmosphere, if one Tanyangzi is banned, more Kunyangzi and Shengyangzi will emerge.  You say that it is better to be a master than to be a student. It is better to try to take in the eldest niece and take the Tanyang family into your own hands.

    It¡¯s the one who recruits disciples.

    This is how Zhao Hao¡¯s trip to Taicang began.  He decided to talk to Tan Yangzi first. If the other party was still clear-headed and willing to cooperate, then he would follow Fatty Xu's wishes.  If you have gone too far, or are obsessed with it, then you can¡¯t imitate Shen Gongbaooh no, Ximen Bao.

    "But he has always been good at acting. He pretended that I had been away from Jiangnan for too long and didn't know anything. He kept trying to trick the second king.

    He discovered to his amazement that although Wang Shizhen and Wang Xijue, the two members of the sect, had the idea of ??increasing their own voice and gaining more weight when they opposed Zhang Juzheng, they themselves really believed in Tan Yangzi's tricks

    In fact, it is not surprising that superstition is still popular four hundred years later, let alone in this day and age.  Even Mr. Zhang firmly believes in the theory of auspiciousness, and those who do not believe in gods and Buddhas are the minority and outliers.

    "Brother, please join. I have made an agreement with your niece and my master and have reserved ten places for your family." What bad intentions can the chef have?  He took Zhao Hao and persuaded him earnestly: "How happy will it be for our whole family to become immortals together? Even if you don't think about yourself, you should consider the old man. He is already eighty years old."

    "Then why didn't Taishi Hua join?" Zhao Hao asked.

    "Alas, my in-laws don't have that fate." Wang Shizhen, Hua Shuyang's father-in-law, sighed: "My master must first cast off his mortal body and ascend to immortality before he can retrieve all his magic power and enlighten us to become immortals."  In order to save my in-laws, I originally wanted to ascend early in April, but the time was running out, so my efforts were in vain. I could only wait for the Double Ninth Festival to ascend again, but as a result, my in-laws missed the deadline by less than a month"

    "Look, it's all destiny." Wang Shimao sighed, obviously believing deeply in Tan Yangzi.

    Also, there are still a few days when the fairy division is going to rise in public.

    "How about it, do you agree?" Wang Shizhen and Wang Xijue eagerly looked forward to Zhao Hao. If they could convince the de facto Lord of Jiangnan to join, Tanyang Sect would immediately become the first religion in Jiangnan.

    "You must let me meet Master Tan Yangzi" Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Let's talk to her and experience the immortal magic for ourselves, right?"

    "Of course." Wang Shizhen nodded hurriedly and said: "When we arrive in Taicang, we will go to Tanyang Temple, and I will take you to meet the immortal master!"
