Who was Monkey Sun's first teacher? There were many theories. However, it was a basic consensus that Monkey Sun was a Daoist disciple because his teacher had clearly taught Monkey Sun the way to immortality. China's indigenous Taoists were very different from other religions in the world. Saving the world, promoting the Great Dao, all of these were nothing in the eyes of Taoists. Daoists believed that 'Dao' existed. The goal of cultivators was the same as Monkey Sun. They wanted to live forever.
In London, the head of the Daoist temple, Daoist Shoudao, took out a glass bottle and pushed it in front of a well-dressed woman. The Daoist priest wore a Daoist robe and his hair was tied up in a bun. He wore a gauze crown and had a long beard. In the eyes of the Chinese, he looked like an immortal. The British described this style as' full of mystery '.
"Female Daoist, take one of the pills we refined every day at dawn, noon, and at dusk. The children you give birth to won't be frightened." Daoist Shoudao's tone was flat and even a little tired. This attitude of wanting to get rid of people quickly made his words sound especially convincing.
Opening the glass bottle, the woman poured the pills into her palm. It was a translucent light yellow pill. It was round and gave people a feeling of fullness. The woman's best friend picked one up and looked at it carefully. Then she said happily, "This is it."
Putting away the pills, the woman took out her money bag and asked in an elegant voice, "May I ask … Bishop … Daoist, how much does this cost?"
Daoist Shoudao stroked his long beard and said with a gentle smile, "Female Daoist, your teacher and friend are fellow daoists of our temple. You can take this bottle back and try it first. Some female daoists can stand the taste of this pill, but some can't and will vomit the moment they eat it. If you buy some back, you won't be able to stand it. Wouldn't he hate me if he remembered that he still paid me? "
His words were honest. Daoist Shoudao's tone was calm, straightforward, and humorous. The woman couldn't help but smile.
Seeing that the woman hadn't completely given up on paying, Daoist Shoudao continued with a smile, "Besides, this pill isn't easy to refine and many people need it. We don't have much of it, so you can take it back and use it. It can also be considered a good karma. "
The noblewoman was not short of money, but it was related to the child in her belly. Of course, she could not believe it 100%. This medicine was provided by the mysterious China Church, so she did not pay in the end.
After sending off the lady and her best friend, Taoist Priest Xin Xin let out a long sigh of relief. The speed at which the Dao Sect's influence in England was expanding was beyond everyone's imagination. European culture had led to a greater love for mysticism in Europe than in China. The mysterious China Church, herbs, unique packaging, and a certain degree of healing were enough to make the British scramble for it.
Recently, more and more British people came to buy medicine and to participate in meditation. The British had a long history of industrialization and had a tradition of self-discipline. Taoist Priest Xin Xin received a few more important people. After receiving the important guests, Taoist Priest Xin Xin was about to take a nap. A man dressed in ordinary clothes came to the Taoist priest. He was a doctor from the nearby China Hospital. When they arrived at the secret room, the doctor said, "Taoist priest, someone wants to contact a few people through you."
"Who is it?" Taoist Priest Xin Xin was a little nervous. One of the reasons they were sent to Europe was to expand their connections in England. Military Governor Vaize did not like to be a big spy. His idea of gathering intelligence was very simple. He wanted to have basic information about other countries on the basis of having destructive and overwhelming power. The Dao Sect had the opportunity to get to know the upper echelons of England, so they naturally had to bear some responsibility.
The doctor could see Taoist Priest Xin Xin's uneasiness. He quickly waved his hand. "We're not asking Taoist priest to force a relationship. It's just that someone wants to meet some people. If those people come to your place, we hope you can let us know. We'll take care of the rest. "
"That's fine." Taoist Priest Xin Xin finally let out a sigh of relief.
Two days later, a big shot from the Senate brought his wife to the Taoist temple. The main building of the Taoist temple was not a traditional temple hall, but an octagonal high-rise building. Apart from coinciding with the Eight Trigrams, the eight rooms on each floor could be used. The big shot entered the Kan room. Kan was water, and the decorations and atmosphere of the room were closely related to water. In a large glass tank by the wall, a slender golden arowana swam back and forth. There was a small fountain in the room, making the air in the room moist.
"Taoist priest. Thank you. My eyesight has improved a lot recently. "The big shot sat on a rattan chair and happily chatted with Taoist Priest Xin Xin.
The Taoist priest smiled. "It's good that it's useful. The path to immortality is different for everyone. Only by finding one's own path can one advance quickly. Simply imitating others will only result in half the result with twice the effort. "
The big shot nodded after hearing that. Unlike the Church, the Dao Sect's ideology was not based on negation, but recognition of the current situation. The Dao Sect's pursuit was not to betray or follow the founder, but to find and achieve their own immortality. Originally, the big shot's goal of getting close to the Dao Sect was to drive this China religion out of England. However, the pursuit of immortality, which was "I'll enjoy myself first", was very compatible with the mentality of the upper echelons of England. The Dao Sect quickly became popular among the upper echelons of England.
The principle of immortality in the Dao Sect was also different from the Church that only talked about God's justice. There was no absolute justice here, nor was there any coercion from God. The classics of the Dao Sect told those who were interested, 'Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, and that is evil. Everyone knows that good is good, and that is not good. Therefore, existence and non-existence coexist, difficulty and ease coexist, length and length coexist, height and height coexist, sound and sound coexist, and follow each other. '
In the opinion of the Church, evil people did not know what good and beautiful were. The Dao Sect told everyone that everyone knew about beauty and ugliness, good and evil, but those who believed in the Dao would not let themselves lose themselves in forced comparisons. To be able to become a big shot in the Parliament, he was naturally not an ordinary person. Listening to the Church's preaching was a form of cultural recognition. Listening to the Daoist preaching was a form of self-reflection. It could really benefit people a lot.
"Taoist priest, my sister is pregnant. Do you still have the ammunition you refined? "The big shot's wife asked anxiously.
"I still have the pills, I'll send someone to deliver them to your house." Taoist priest Xin Xin smiled. The upper echelons of England had strict rules. For items that did not involve money, direct transactions were not appropriate. Sending someone to deliver it to the other party's house was considered an act of etiquette.
"Thank you so much." The wife was very happy. After eating it, she had a very high evaluation of the pill, which was why she dared to recommend it to her relatives.
Taoist priest Xin Xin sighed slightly in his heart. The disciples of the Dao Sect respected the emperor very much. They believed that this was comparable to the reorganization and development of the Dao Sect in the Tang Dynasty. Historical materialism and the scientific system helped the Dao Sect to be reborn and reach a whole new level. This medicine was now promoted by the Min dynasty. It was an important component of the human brain and optic nerve extracted from flax seeds. These things were extremely low in natural food, and they played a key role in the development of the brain during the development of the fetus. After a pregnant woman ate it, it could help the fetus develop normally. The disciples of the Dao Sect respected Vézé not because of Vézé's powerful violence and his unhesitant use of violence to solve problems, but because Vézé's view of the world was very much in line with the Dao Sect's idea of 'peace and inaction'.
For example, this kind of material did not allow the fetus to give birth to something it did not originally have, nor did it allow an ordinary person to become a genius. Instead, it allowed the fetus to have an adequate supply of what it lacked. The British mothers who ate this kind of pill gave birth to children with a well-developed brain and nervous system. They did not have palpitations and did not make a fuss. The adults could easily communicate with the children. In the eyes of the British who had not learned materialism, this was a very mysterious medicine.
As an expatriate, Taoist Xin Xin had systematically learned the history of European missionary. When Christianity was rising, they liked to wear heat-insulated asbestos shoes and walk on fire. After the Renaissance, there was a show of packaging and transmission of science under religion. The Dao Sect was just giving them a taste of their own medicine. They used the technological advantages of the Min dynasty to package the tricks of occultism. Moreover, Taoist Xin Xin was a true Dao Sect cultivator. He did not have the slightest qualms about morality. Comparing the personality of the three Semitic heresies to the 'Great Dao' that the Dao Sect believed in, it was impossible for the Dao Sect cultivators to feel guilty. What could make the Dao Sect cultivators feel ashamed of themselves was science and historical materialism.
After the big boss finished talking about his wife's matter, he talked about his medicine. He actually did not know that the medicine he took was partly the same as the medicine that pregnant women took. The big boss cared about the improvement of the body. He believed that this was related to alchemy and medicine, but also to the Dao Sect's own secret arts. Therefore, he quickly sat on the futon with his wife and listened to Taoist Xin Xin talk about the Dao Sect's secret arts.
The Art of Immortality included meditation, chanting sutras to nourish the mind, alchemy, and many other methods. These things belonged to the edge of the definition of a 'feudal sect' in the civil dynasty. If there were any ignorant people who dared to openly take this out to agitate the people, they would probably be able to enjoy the blessings of swallowing metal peanuts with their heads. However, His Majesty Vézé treated the Dao Sect well. Under the emperor's order, the Dao Sect exchanged these things with each other as a historical accumulation and experiment of the Dao Sect. They chose the useful ones and recorded the useless ones. With such a lenient and fierce method, the Dao Sect had a full understanding of the various things that they had developed that were useful or just to scare people. Therefore, the core of the Dao Sect was secretly discussing to develop a position for Vézé in the Divine Map that was only second to Laozi.
After listening to the lesson, the big boss felt that he had learned a lot and left the Daoist temple. Just as he was about to get into the car, he saw a few people coming at him aggressively. Cecil? Rhodes was a mining tycoon, so he naturally had armed forces. When a few strong people surrounded him, he opened the door of the big boss' car and pushed him into the car.
Don't say anything. Cecil? Rhodes lifted his coat and revealed the wound on his chest. The wound was stitched up. The stitches were like a small centipede, looking very ferocious. The big boss glanced at it and couldn't bear to watch anymore, so he turned his head away.
Using medical tape to stick the cotton gauze on the wound. Cecil? Rhodes said, "Sir, the person who tried to assassinate me is related to you. I think you know very well."
