    Wen Da and Yang Fan solemnly took out a folded volume. The two monks, one on the left and one on the right, opened the folded volume.

    Zhao Ran hurriedly stepped forward and input mana into the folded book. Every blank folding page in the folded book immediately changed, and a portrait appeared on each page.

    Zhao Ran looked at the first picture first, but it was Guan Yinzi.  After looking at it carefully for a moment, I felt as if I had suddenly entered this painting. In an instant, I had experienced countless years and saw the story of Guan Yinzi looking for the purple energy coming from the east, waiting for Laojun at Hanguguan Pass, and getting Laojun to preach.  .  Later, King Mu of Zhou Dynasty built a tower temple in Zhongnan Mountain, and Taoism flourished.

    With a shock, Zhao Ran withdrew from the painting, stood there for a moment, and then looked at the second picture, which was about Wenzi.  Zhao Ran was once again immersed in the situation and saw Mr. Wen Zishi. He then advised King Ping of Chu and said, "Accumulating virtue will lead to kingship, accumulating anger will lead to destruction. Yao and Shun will prosper, Jie and Zhou will lead to disaster."  "

    ??Moving forward, Zhao Ran couldn't help but immerse himself in the pictures one by one, and saw the stories of the sages and ancestors such as Geng Sangzi, Nan Rongzi, Yin Wenzi, Shi Chengzi, Cui Quzi, Bai Juzi, Liezi, Zhuangzi and so on.

    After watching it, it felt like it was a year ago.

    Zhao Ran was only in the Huangguan realm, and he didn't know how to use this top-level magic weapon, but just after looking "in", his Taoist heart felt that he seemed to have both spiritual power and merit power in his body.  The changes and touches, just based on the subtlety, this folded volume is undoubtedly the real thing!

    No matter what, for Zhao Ran, he believed that the "Ten Sons of Xuanyuan" was enough to be worthy of a mandala mandala, but it was a pity that it did not fall into his own hands after being exchanged for it. What a pity!

    After collecting the "Ten Sons of Xuanyuan", Zhao Ran took out the mandala from his finger and placed it on the case.  The two monks Wen Da and Yang Fan used Buddhist methods to investigate at the same time. After a moment, they nodded at each other, took out a wooden box, and put the mandala inside.

    The handover ended successfully, and Zhao Ran let out a sigh of relief.  After getting the "Ten Sons of Xuanyuan" and completing the instructions from the Eastern Celestial Master of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, Zhao Ran had really successfully accomplished the main task of this trip, and he was in a very happy mood.

    So Zhao Ran clasped his fists towards the monks of Tianlongyuan who were present and said: "Thank you all very much. I owe you a lot for taking care of me during this Xingqing trip. Putting aside the war between Taoism and the country, in private, Pindao respects you very much."  Although we have only known each other for a short time, and even Master Yangfan and Pindao have only met each other once today, your frankness, friendliness and seriousness have benefited Pindao a lot and I have learned a lot. I am so lucky to know you all.  It¡¯s the fate of poor people.¡±

    The four monks all returned the gift one after another, saying, "I don't dare."

    Mingjue said with emotion: "The past two months have been like a dream. It is a blessing for this young monk to be able to make friends with famous mountain guests."

    Yang Fan said from the side: "How lucky is the young monk to be able to meet the Taoist Priest in Tianlong Courtyard? Today is a rare opportunity. I wonder if the elder is free and can you answer a few questions for the young monk?"

    "Master, please speak."

    "The young monk is the deacon of the Bodhi Hall. Due to business needs, he has often studied the Taoist canon in recent years. There is a question that has been bothering the young monk. Therefore, he asked the Taoist for advice. It is not to argue with the Taoist. I hope the Taoist will understand this.  "

    "It's easy to talk, not to mention asking for advice. Master can perform his duties as a deacon in Bodhi Hall, so he must have very solid lessons. Let's discuss it together."

    "Lieh Zi" says that during the time of the Yellow Emperor, there were magic witches coming from Qi, who were ordered by Zheng to order Wu Xian." There is also a chapter "Don't Bow" in "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" that says Wu Peng was a doctor and Wu Xian was a doctor, which shows the origin of witchcraft.  Very early on, during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, when it was at its peak, there were witches in the court who managed history, witch doctors who cured diseases, witches who prayed for rain, and witches who raised horses.  But since then, witchcraft has gradually declined, and even today, there are very few of them.  The reason is that the ancestral heavenly master destroyed the witch.  The young monk has always been puzzled. The Tao originated from witches. Why did the Ancestral Master want to destroy the witches?  "

    Monk Tingyang Fan asked this question. To be honest, Zhao Ran was a little surprised. The Taoist sect had occupied the Central Plains for more than 600 years and was in confrontation with Western Buddhism. The words mentioned by both sides focused more on the other sect, even if there were some occasional  When the messy primary school teachers come out to cause trouble, it is also a disease of the delicate family, and they are not paid much attention to. As for witches, it is even rarer to be mentioned.

    Being able to ask this question shows that Monk Yang Fan has seriously studied a lot of Taoism and is a "true reader" rather than a "casual commentator".

    For such a monk, Zhao Ran must give strong support and answer questions, so he asked: "How did the master know that Tao comes from witchcraft?"

    Yang Fan replied: "To summon spirits, pray for blessings, divine fortune, and cure diseases, are these not inherited from Taoism and witchcraft?"

    Zhao Ran said: "Does Buddhism have these points mentioned by the master? Are they inherited from witchcraft?"

    Yang Fan was stunned, and suddenly said: "The young monk made a mistake. All the religions stand side by side and are not inherited from the same origin. The spells, spells, etc. of that sect are similar to those of witchcraft. In fact, they stand side by side instead of being inherited?"

    &nbspZhao Ran nodded: "The swords, seals, elixirs, and clothes in our Taoist rituals all come from the ancient court uniforms, and the talismans and incantations are passed down to heaven. What does it have to do with witches? The master just mentioned that it is similar, and Wu Xian is good at it.  Divination, where do the hexagrams come from? The hexagrams come from the Fuxi family. Can we say that the hexagrams were passed down by shamans?"

    Zhao Ran added: "One more thing, Tao is Taoism, and witchcraft is witchcraft. The difference between learning and magic must not be confused. We call Tao learning because what Tao explores is the overall understanding of the universe throughout the ages.  Knowledge, but what about witches? The witches have never had such a systematic understanding. They only saw a little bit of it without delving into the inner laws. Over time, they fell into ideological confusion. In the later period, many  The great witch can't even recognize the characters. He specializes in manipulating gods and ghosts, plundering the people, forcing people to build temples, forcing sacrifices, and even sacrificing human beings to rivers. For such a witchcraft, the ancestor Tianshi led the Taoist sect to destroy it. Isn't it just the way of heaven?  ?¡±

    Yang Fan said happily: "Thank you so much, Taoist Master, for clarifying my doubts. The lump in my chest has calmed down."

    Zhao Ran said warmly: "In fact, this question is not difficult, but the master is in Xixia and not a member of the Taoist sect. He does not have the conditions to concentrate on practicing Taoism, so it is normal to have some confusion."

    Yang Fan said: "I don't know if there will be a chance to go to the Ming Dynasty in the future." Seeing Zhao Ran's expression, he smiled and said: "Taoist master, don't worry about the young monk. There are many masters and uncles in our Bodhi Hall and Xuanye Hall."  Both my uncle and my brothers and sisters must study Taoist canon."

    Now it¡¯s Zhao Ran¡¯s turn to think thoughtfully. Tianlongyuan allows monks in the academy to study Taoism, but Jianjigguan prohibits Taoist priests from contacting Buddhism. Do Taoist sects need to learn from Tianlongyuan¡¯s move?

    At this time, more than ten monks had gathered in the Bodhi Hall. They were all monks on duty who had stayed in the Bodhi Hall and Zuojin Xuanye Hall. They sat around and listened quietly to Yang Fan's questions to Zhao Ran, and asked questions from time to time. Seeing them  It was purely a question of advice rather than a debate. After Zhao Ran was answering, he couldn't help but say a few more words:

    "Starting from the topic of Master Yang Fan, Pindao will say a few more words. From the comparison of the rise and fall of witchcraft and Taoism, if a sect does not have a reasonable, self-consistent, complete and systematic philosophical support, its final development will be either  It is not in line with human nature and thus harms the world, leading to decline or even extinction; it is also stubborn and restricts people's thinking, which is out of time and even leads to the regression of the entire world of spiritual practice."

    "Take our Taoist sect as an example. First there is the Taoist school of Lao and Zhuang, and then there is the Taoist sect of the ancestors. The Tao of Lao and Zhuang explores the principles of the generation, change, and development of all things. Later, countless ancestors continued to explore and perfect it.  Carry it forward. This Tao will not die with the passage of time, nor will it rise with the changes of courts. It is inclusive and has a long history. It is the long-lasting Tao tradition of China. With this as the foundation, our Taoism can be long-lasting and prosperous.  Not bad"

    "Looking at it from a poor Taoist perspective, Buddhism is also the same. It can be said that there was Buddhism first and then Buddhism. Only then did the Buddhist countries in the Western world come into being. Master Yang Fan and other masters can have this professional spirit and professional attitude.  Concentrating on learning and exploring the world, this is the right path, and the poor Taoist is happy and sincerely convinced. Above, I encourage you all the masters!"
