Chapter 282 It is difficult to quote from the classics



As expected, they were all the famous Taoists in this period.

One is Li Chunfeng's master, Taoist Zhiyuan of Jingyun Temple in Nantuo Mountain. This person did not leave much evaluation in the history of other worlds, but Li Chunfeng became his disciple in his childhood, and with his cultivation, he should occupy a high position in the Taoism of this world.

The other two have great reputations in history.

A man named Yuan Tiangang, also known as Yuan Tiangang, was fond of practicing the art of immortality and was proficient in physiognomy. He left behind a lot of legends, the most famous of which is the Tuibei Tu.

If this is the Tang Dynasty of immortals and gods with abundant spiritual energy, then this Tui Bei Tu might really be able to predict the future five thousand years into the future.

A man named Sun Simiao, whose Taoist name is Miaoying, is also honored as the "King of Medicine".

That's right, he is the most famous doctor of this era. Not to mention in this world with a certain concentration of spiritual energy, even in some parallel worlds without magic, he has made great contributions to the medical cause of all mankind and will be remembered through the ages for this.

Although the Tang Dynasty has only tens of millions of people, it still has some talented people.

Shen Yi watched with interest.

At this moment, the three people naturally didn't know that they had been noticed by the "Immortal King". After being excited outside the city wall for a while, they entered Chang'an City almost in a pilgrimage mood.

Perhaps because of the existence of Taoism, Taoists have a very high status in this world.

Especially now that the Immortal King has come to the world.

Even though Shen Yi did not have any special expression towards Taoism, Taoists still have a special status in the hearts of the people. Seeing such a group of Taoists, many people along the way were respectful, and some even took the initiative to give way.

"Although my Taoism was prosperous in the past, it has never been like this." Taoist Zhiyuan sighed.

"After all, the Immortal King is above, illuminating all things." Yuan Tiangang bowed his hands to the sky, "Let everyone know that there are true immortals in the world."

"But I have searched all the books and still cannot find the name of the Immortal Lord." Taoist Zhiyuan looked bitter, "I am afraid that most of the books in our Taoist sect are fictitious and far from being immortal."

"So what? Compared to everyone else, my Taoist sect is the closest to the immortals." Yuan Tiangang had been staring at the immortal palace above the imperial palace, looking quite proud and ambitious.

Sun Simiao did not say anything.

Although he could stand on the same level as these two because of his expertise in medicine and his seniority, his actual status was not as high as theirs.

One reason is the difference in cultivation.

The second reason is that he did not spend too much time on Taoist classics.

And just at this moment.

Suddenly, a noisy sound came from the restaurant next door.

“If people no longer had to worry about food, clothing, shelter and transportation, all they would seek would be fame, power and wealth. There are examples of this, such as gentry and landlords. What’s wrong with that?” A seemingly young voice was very excited, as if it was arguing with someone.

"Brother Du He's words are not wrong, but your thoughts are shallow." Another voice was calm, but also powerful, "The fairy's question is about the people of the world. If everyone in the world fights for fame, power, and profit, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

"That's what I mean." Du He seemed even more excited. "If the people are all well fed, there will be gentry everywhere, fighting for power and profit, and the world will be in chaos!"

After leaving these words, a young man in brocade clothes walked out of the restaurant angrily.

When he saw the Taoist priests, he restrained his expression, bowed, and left.

Not long after, those people in the restaurant started discussing it again.

Yuan Tiangang looked at Du He's departing figure and said, "From what I've seen of this man's face, he looks unruly and disrespectful to heaven and earth. He looks miserable, but he doesn't have the luck to support this appearance. I'm afraid he will die from committing treason or conspiracy in the future."

These words surprised Shen Yi, who was watching them.

In the history of other parallel worlds, Du He was the one who persuaded the Crown Prince of Tang, Li Chengqian, to rebel, and seemed to be intending to emulate his father, Du Ruhui.

But it's obvious.

He did not have the talent of Du Ruhui, and his plan of rebellion was very crude, which led to failure and he also lost his life.

But can Yuan Tiangang really see this through fortune-telling?

Shen Yi was very sure that the spiritual energy of this world, no matter its activity or concentration, could not support anyone's peeping into fate by any means. What's more, the fate of this world had become a mess. Even he could not see much, let alone a small first-level extraordinary person.

Quite interesting.

Shen Yi continued to watch.

I saw that Taoist Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Tiangang is still the same. You must know that matters of physiognomy should not be spoken lightly. However, what these people are discussing is the question of the fairy."

They looked up at the restaurant, where there was still a large group of people gathered.

They were all dressed in brocade clothes, obviously they were either rich or noble.

But now there is an endless debate, and many people even have red faces.

All you have to do is listen carefully and you will know what they are arguing about.

Although these Taoists had just arrived in Chang'an, they had heard the fairy's question. Whoever could answer this question would be given a method of growing crops by the fairy so that there would be no more starving people in the world.

This achievement will definitely be passed down through the ages.

Therefore, the world's elites are all debating and thinking.

"Uncle Zhiyuan is well-versed in history and current affairs. Have you gained anything?" Yuan Tiangang raised his hand and asked again, obviously somewhat curious.

"Difficult, difficult, difficult." Zhi Yuan shook his head repeatedly, his face showing bitterness, and he actually said three difficult questions in a row. "This question seems simple at first glance, but it is so difficult when you look closely. Since the historical records of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the people of the world have been busy with agriculture, which is the foundation of knowledge. If there is really no need to farm and no worries about food, clothing and expenses, then all knowledge in the world will have difficulty adapting."

Shen Yi nodded slightly.

This is indeed one of the difficulties of this issue for these people.

Since ancient times, no one has ever thought that there would be a day when people would no longer have to work hard for the most basic food and clothing. This means that it is naturally difficult to find answers from the so-called "books of sages."

It is no longer easy to quote from classics.

Because the prerequisites are different.

This also confirms the truth of what Ding Xiang said that day: "There is no unchanging idea in the world."

If you want to understand the truth of the world, you must first change your thinking.

The significance of this.

It is equivalent to returning to the period of "a hundred schools of thought contending". Everyone has to rethink what kind of social model the future will be under this circumstance.

The old Taoist priest is quite knowledgeable as he is vaguely aware of this.
