Taiping Road: One Leaf Obstructs the Eye
Taiping Dao, one of the Taoist sects with a long history, believed in the relatively modern concepts of "equalizing the rich and the poor, and equality of everyone" in the Taiping Jing, which was considered an anomaly in ancient times from Wang Mang before. After Wang Mang ascended the throne, he tried to reorganize, "renamed Tianxiatian Tian Wang Tian", intending to reduce land annexation and divide the land equally; "changing slaves into private dependents and not buying and selling", intending to reduce the number of slaves; but in the end, due to poor execution and historical limitations, it was unanimously opposed by the nobles and powerful people and the common people and quickly stepped down. However, Taiping Dao's overly modern thoughts cannot escape the short-lived fate in the face of many obstacles. After all, class struggle is always long and tortuous and cannot be achieved overnight.
However, due to the "outstanding" performance of Wang Mang and Taipingdao, in today's time travel novels are popular, it also provides many authors with intervention points that can make a big deal, and is favored by dedicated writers.
In the country, under Mo Da's deliberate cover and strengthening, Taiping Dao became increasingly mysterious. From Zhang Jiao's sudden force to a flash in the pan, Taiping Dao made a grand appearance in a stunning way. Zhang Jiao, who almost overthrew the Han Dynasty, laid the foundation for the Taiping Dao power. In the following hundreds of years, Taiping Dao rose and fell, neither prospered nor destroyed, and the basic eight-sect forces were continued, but Taiping Dao was divided into four.
There were four hundred years of miserable and miserable years, with few peace among them. The Five Barbarians invaded China almost exterminated the Han people. The Chinese nation, which had many disasters and difficulties, obviously came to an outbreak, and Taiping Dao finally had two outstanding figures, Kunlun and Qiuyan. By the end of the Sui Dynasty, with the emergence of Xiao Buyi, the Taiping Dao reached a critical period of integration.
———————————————————————————————
From Liu Wenjing who was on the Xiaobuyi Grassland (maybe earlier to Xiao Dapeng who was suspected of "Kunlun", and tortoise's first discussion of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, the secret of the turtle shell, to Angatu and Yuan Tiangang after entering the Eastern Capital; from Xu Hongke who conspired with Li Mi to subvert the Great Sui Dynasty to fake Chen Xuanhua beside Yang Guang; from the strange attacks of Luoshui to the horror of the grassland plague, from the shocking heavenly book in the underground palace, to the revealing of Luo Shixin's identity;
The supreme king of the uprising, Lu Mingyue, Xu Yuanlang, who ruled one side, to Tianya Feiju, who roamed the court; from Wu Gongbu, who was proficient in casting weapons, to Sun Simiao, who was unparalleled in medical skills; and also the five brothers of Bats, Fang Xuanling, Li Xuanba, and even the Five Dogs of Rice Sect, may be the predecessors of Taiping Dao. Looking around, just the incomplete reveal of Taiping Dao has already covered the sky and the sun, spreading across the grasslands, Miaojiang, and the north and south of the Yangtze River.
It can be said that when Xiao Buyi accumulates reputation and expands his power, Taiping Dao is also appearing little by little, revealing the secrets little by little, but one is light and the other is dark. The pride of fighting for hegemony and the mystery of the heavenly books and the secrets of heaven also constitute the main tone of this book.
So, Taiping Dao is really powerful enough to determine the belonging of the world? No. The reason why Taiping Dao looks so mysterious and powerful is not only because of their own strength, Mo Wu deliberately caused it. A leaf blocked his eyes and could not see Mount Tai. Mo Wu put the super large leaf of Taiping Dao in front of us, but did not let us see its full view clearly, but only blocked our vision. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are many extraordinary figures in Taiping Dao, such as Kunlun, Guilang, Tianya, Mingyue, Luo Shixin, and Liu Wen
Jing, Xu Yuanlang, Yuan Tiangang, etc., but which of them could have the last laugh in this big game of the world and become the overlord of the world? No. The ones who really competed for the world were only Xiao Buyi and Li Yuan. Just as Doctor Le asked Pei Bei what he saw when he took a piece of the trunk of the kudzu root, Pei Bei replied to the insects, but Xiao Buyi said that except for insects, the trunks were also lush. The key is that the focus was different. At most, Taiping Dao was just the wings of a tiger. It could soar thousands of miles away, and even a tiger lost would not become a sick cat.
However, why can't such a powerful Taiping Dao win the world? This is undoubtedly caused by itself.
First of all, the most direct reason is the differentiation of Taiping Dao. Since Zhang Jiao, Taiping Dao has no extremely outstanding figures like Zhang Jiao, but has different opinions on each other and gradually divided into four paths. The four paths do their own things, and cannot work together or even restrain each other, which greatly weakened the power of Taiping Dao.
The second most fundamental reason should start with the doctrine. Taiping Taoism is also Taoism. The mainstream of Taoism is to govern without doing anything. A large number of the believers are unwilling to go through troubled times and do not want to participate in the battle for hegemony. Taiping Tao promotes equality and hopes that the world will be peaceful. Due to its morality, many religions are the lower-level civilians, and it is difficult for them to be recognized by the ruling class and aristocratic families at that time. No real ruler is willing to believe in Taiping Taoism and implement the concept of equality for everyone. This has caused Taiping Taoism to rely on others and hope to support a superior to promote morality. Most of the people who are supported are unwilling to be controlled and are not at ease with the existence of such a large force, so they will be eradicated after using it. In the chaotic times of hundreds of years, it is a blessing that the four Taos and eight gates of Taiping Taoism can be completely preserved.
Once again, the current situation of Taiping Dao: Kunlun does not come out, the beard is unintentional, and the world is obviously difficult to become a climate. Although the power of Taiping Dao is spread all over the place, it cannot truly determine the overall situation.
It is because Taiping Tao is like the lush leaves, while Xiao Buyi and Li Yuan are like two big trees. Whoever has these leaves can get more nutrients and grow faster, but these leaves are obviously of different quality, and the input nutrients may be mixed with chronic tumors. Leaves are not the only ones, and leaves will not grow into big trees. Taiping Tao is destined to be just an auxiliary minister, not the master of the world.
As for Xiao Buyi's battle for hegemony, Taiping Dao has obviously outweighed the disadvantages. When Xiao Buyi's reputation grew and the Sui Dynasty was in chaos, Taiping Dao timely bewitched Yang Guang forced Xiao Buyi to rebel, seized the opportunity to fight for hegemony. Xiao Buyi's wealth in the uprising, and the soldiers and armor mostly relied on the treasure of Taiping Dao; the grassland crisis Taiping Dao also used the plague to help Xiao Buyi a lot of favor; and the bearded guest became Xiao Buyi's guardian god. Of course, most of the conspiracies were initiated by Taiping Dao and were extinguished by Taiping Dao. It seemed that Xiao Buyi did not owe Taiping Dao much, but in the end, Xiao Buyi got a lot of benefits.
Now Bashu is worry-free, the grassland is stable, Li Mi has been defeated, and Jiangnan is about to settle down; on the other hand, Li Yuan, Xue Ju personally led a large army to attack, Shimin was impulsive when he was young, and most of them would suffer a great loss. Liu Wuzhou was eyeing him, Li Yuan was unable to protect himself and could not look east. It was a good time for Xiao Buyi to merge and grow. He could pacify Hebei, Yanyun, Shandong, and Jianghuai, and then use his advantage to fight with Li Yuan, and the world could be determined.
There are only two remaining variables:
First, Zhang Jiao died of illness at a critical moment. Will Xiao Buyi have such a hidden worry? What is the secret of heaven? Second, Xiao Buyi's life experience is still unclear. What story did Xiao Dahuang have back then? What is the hidden truth in it?
Apart from these two points, the future is promising.
