The elements of bandits in Guanxi are complex, with the rebels and defeated soldiers and the strong men of Hu and Han, and it is not surprising that even if there are local strong tribes who play guest appearances.
The reason why Li Tai knew about the name of the bandits in the south of the mountain was not mentioned by the county officials. This bandit force is not large and is mainly active in the southwest border of the north and south water counties, and there are not many bandit traces, which are not prominent in the environment where bandits are rampant.
The reason why Li Tai knew was because he was fucked by this flying kite!
At the beginning of the year, his disciple Liu Gong escorted a batch of materials from the north and south water back to Shangyuanzhuang, and was robbed by the flying kite in the county.
However, because most of the escorted printing materials such as ink ingots were not valuable and had few uses, people and goods were spared, and they only deducted the food and food they carried with them. Liu Gong and others borrowed grain from the villagers before they could return.
At that time, Li Tai’s power was not enough to pursue him across borders, and the losses of people and goods were not too great, so he did not pursue it.
But when the members met just now, Liu Gong, who was accompanying him, recognized the flying kite at a glance. After all, there were not many bandits who did not hurt lives in this era, which impressed Liu Gong.
The old man of the clan was obviously not ignorant of what his men were doing outside. When he heard Li Tai calling the Po Bandit, he hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly: “The Han family was also a loyal, diligent and respectful family of good deeds in the past year. The clan leader Songling Gong led all the villages to follow the king’s army to fight, but he was not in Guandong and had not survived. Since then, he lost his power in the village.”
After hearing this, Li Tai turned to Liu Gong who was aside. Liu Gong was originally from Nanbaishui. After hearing this, he nodded, indicating that what the clan elder said was not false.
“Shi Nu had a deep connection with Taoism. When he was young, he followed Lou Guanxian and left his hometown to practice Taoism. He was shocked to hear that his family had changed. It happened that the county was in charge of the enemy. He did not care about the heavy casualties of this clan and was still sent to a critical battle. He had to make this plan. Shi Nu had been following the master’s virtuous teachings for a long time. Although he was trapped in his family, he had to commit himself as a thief, but he never killed him indiscriminately.”
Li Tai raised his hand to interrupt the old man of this clan, and then looked at the flying kite Zhang Shi Nu for interest, and couldn’t help but smile and said, “He is actually a Taoist disciple. Which virtuous teacher do you follow?”
“The master of his family is named Bao Chi, and he is Master Chen in Yingchuan.”
Zhang Shinu hurriedly bowed and answered. Seeing that Li Tai was no longer full of disgust, he quickly bowed again: “The little people are stupid in their qualifications. Although they have not been taught by the statutes, they have followed the master for several years and learned a fighting technique. If the Grand Supervisor is willing to tolerate the mistakes of the previous mistakes and protect their relatives from being abused by the local hatred, the little people are willing to donate their lives to repay their lives and die without any punishment!”
Hearing that the young man confessed his master’s teaching, Li Tai’s eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, he interrogated casually and dug out a treasure.
Buddhism flourished in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the latter three countries all made Buddha moves. Relatively speaking, Taoism seems a bit low-key. The Southern Dynasties still had the inheritance of the Heavenly Master represented by Lu Xiujing and Tao Hongjing, but in the Northern Dynasties, Taoism was more explicit.micro.
The representative figure of Taoism in the Northern Dynasty was Kou Qianzhi of the Northern Heavenly Master. He was very glorious during the period when Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty destroyed Buddhism and worshipped Taoism. Even the Northern Wei emperors had to publicly receive the talisman and carry out some rituals of divine authority.
But with the death of the leader Kou Qianzhi, and Cui Hao, who advocated the destruction of Buddhism, implicated the National Shi’an and the entire Qinghe Cui family, the Northern Tianshi Dao became even more declining and almost cut off the inheritance.
Louguan Taoism is also a source of Taoism in the Northern Dynasties. Its representative figure is Chen Baochi. Because of his identity as a Taoist priest, even the Western Wei emperor Yuan Baoju brought it as a guest of honor, and he also had many believers in Guanxi.
Later, Emperor Wu of Zhou Yuyong used the debate on the three religions as a prelude to destroy Buddhism, and used this lineage to Guandao as a Buddhist rival. Although Taoism and Buddha are both forbidden, they are still mainly fighting against monks.
In the Tang Dynasty, when Taoism was respected as the national religion and Lao Tzu was the source of his sect, it was a combination of the sutras and teachings of Louguan Tao and Nantian Shidao to shape the theoretical system.
Li Tai also often wondered why Taoism was not very good at this period, was it lacking support from the upper level or the lower level organizations?
Although there are many Hu regimes in the Northern Dynasties, there are emperors who worshipped Taoism. Representatives of aristocratic clans such as Cui Hao also highly praised the Taoist sect. When talking about the lower-level organizational structure, the Five Doks of Rice Dao, the predecessor of Tianshi Dao, is simply a model for organizing and mobilizing the masses.
But advantages are sometimes disadvantages. The Taoist system of teaching the talisman is too strict and comprehensive. If it is allowed to develop, it will inevitably be suspicious of those in power, such as the Taiping Taoist, the Tianshi Taoist Uprising, etc. Moreover, the Taoist scriptures and ritual procedures are too complicated, which is not conducive to widespread dissemination at the bottom, and it means a bit too high and too little.
The monks are not the case. Their own classical theory has become a great place to create a religious atmosphere. Those in power can stuff any private goods into it. For many believers who are just seeking psychological comfort, of course the sooner they get started, the better.
Tang Monk was famous for his sutras, and he passed down the Dharma for two generations. It turns out that this is a piece of mind when writing this thing, so I still listen to you!
Li Tai didn’t think that to destroy Buddhism, he had to respect the Tao, but Emperor Xuanyuan of the Supreme Lord could be his ancestor for Li Tang or for him. So psychologically, he is quite close to Taoism.
When he heard Zhang Shinu say that following Chen Baochi was not learning Taoism but fighting skills, Li Tai couldn’t help but become more interested, and immediately signaled him to practice: If you want me to protect your tribe and forgive your old mistakes, of course you have to show some skills.
Zhang Shinu looked around the tent and then said, “The space in the tent is narrow, and I may not be able to fully display what I have learned. I take the liberty to ask the Grand Commander to move outside the tent.”
