Chapter 629
Under the "siege" of a group of eminent monks and people of Taoism, Zhang Xianyong began to do science popularization experiments, began to start the glorious journey of Taoism, and began to contribute to his "sanctification of the flesh".

A few little Taoist boys came in, holding some experimental equipment, some alcohol lamps, some glasses, some experiment racks and so on. They didn't look like things played by Taoist priests, but rather like things played by a group of scientists.

"Everyone, this little trick may take some time to determine. Pindao wants to clarify in advance, everyone, please be patient!" Zhang Xianyong said somewhat proudly, his whole body was filled with an indescribable look.

"Amitabha, don't worry, Daoist, we still have this bit of patience." The old monk stepped forward and immediately agreed, these people here are not idiots, they are all prestigious people in the entire Ming Dynasty, the necessary cultivation is naturally there of.

"Thank you, master! That poor man started this little trick..." Zhang Xianyong is very easy-going, not aggressive, and he has really practiced his skills in treating others very well.

"...to make this little trick, Pindao first introduces the things used in this little trick, so as to clear up your confusion..." Zhang Xianyong wants to do science popularization, so he naturally wants to introduce these props clearly.

"Amitabha, I'm sorry for your trouble." The old monk agreed immediately. To be honest, he couldn't understand those strange things. He just knew that these things were made of glass, which must be quite expensive.

"Infinite longevity, the first thing is this alcohol lamp, which burns alcohol to produce flames, which is responsible for heating in this little trick. This alcohol is naturally the essence of wine..." Zhang Xianyong began to show off his scientific knowledge, His starting point was extremely high, and it would take years to accumulate this knowledge bit by bit, but he jumped over many thresholds in one fell swoop and directly evolved to this level.

"...These two glass utensils, I think everyone can understand that they are made by Liulizhai..." Zhang Xianyong smiled a little when he mentioned Liulizhai.

Everyone also understood that this glass can be made by one family now, and the one who can make such exquisite glass vessels is naturally Liulizhai.

"...The one with the open mouth is an ordinary glass vessel, and the glass bottle with the crooked and curved neck is specially made. As for its function, you will naturally understand later, so let me look at the other one first. Things..." Zhang Xianyong said again, and began to call his disciples to prepare for the experiment.

Those who were looking for Zhang Xianyong's faults all opened their eyes wide, not letting go of a detail, to see how Zhang Xianyong showed off his supernatural powers.

"...Everyone, this is a bowl of boiled beef soup..." Zhang Xianyong opened a bowl and said.

"Amitabha, so good..." The old monk put his hands together and recited the Buddha's name.

"Immeasurable longevity, sin, poor Taoism, I don't know if I should reveal this thing in front of the master. My Taoist school also has a precept of not killing. However, this is also for the common people in the world. I do something and I don't do it. I hope the master will forgive me." ..." Zhang Xianyong said.

"Amitabha, goodness, goodness..." The old monk didn't say anything, neither affirmed nor denied, but wanted to see the results before talking, and didn't want to get entangled in these issues.

"...This bowl of overcooked beef soup, Pindao is now pouring him into two containers, one is an open glass, the other is a glass bottle with a crooked neck..." Zhang Xianyong continued to show off his science experiments.

"Really, do you dare to ask if this is really beef soup? What's the use? What are you going to do?" The Confucian scholar who asked the question earlier was careful, not going to let go of the slightest bit, and wanted to use this "supernatural power". Record it bit by bit, and understand it. If you understand this "supernatural power", maybe he can survive life, old age, sickness and death, maybe he can become a god.

"Wuliang Shoufu, this is of course real beef soup, nothing else." Zhang Xianyong said immediately.

"Is it really edible beef soup?" the Confucian scholar asked quite seriously.

"Indeed, if you don't believe me, you can taste it yourself." Zhang Xianyong said with a smile.

"This..., that's not necessary, I can trust the real person..." The Confucian scholar didn't want to force Zhang Xianyong too much, and he didn't want to taste the beef soup by himself. He is quite a famous person, so he is not too aggressive.

Seeing that no one stopped him, Zhang Xianyong ordered the two Taoist boys to pour broth into two glass bottles, and some soup was sprinkled in them, and the little Taoist boys wiped it clean immediately, and it was ready soon.

"Wuliangshoufu, everyone, please see that these two containers have been filled with beef broth. It stands to reason that in this hot weather, it would take only a few hours for this broth to be placed here. , if it takes only a day or two, the beef soup in these two containers will become rotten, I wonder if you think so?" Zhang Xianyong said, looking quite decent.

"Amitabha, this is true. This beef soup will go bad within a few hours in this kind of solar term and in this hot weather. There is no doubt about it..." The people around Zhang Xianyong said to each other They looked at each other, exchanged opinions, and then the old monk spoke up, admitting what Zhang Xianyong said.

"Wuliang Shoufu, everyone, do you know why this broth becomes rancid?" Zhang Xianyong smiled slightly.

These people who are picking on Zhang Xianyong are confused again. Naturally, they have no biological knowledge, let alone the concept of microbes.

"Amitabha, what does the Daoist mean to say, is it because of those tiny beings?" The old monk came out to speak again.

"Infinite longevity, that's right, master, this little trick is to prove that in this world, there are indeed tiny creatures that are invisible to the human eye, and it is they who cause trouble, this food will deteriorate, and this person will easily get sick; The second is to prove that Pindao has some ways to prevent these tiny creatures from causing trouble, that is, to confirm what Pindao said, although there is no medicine to restore the dead, but there are some ways to prevent diseases..." Zhang Xianyong said.

"Amitabha, please invite a real person to show the Dharma..." Everyone made up their minds, and the old monk still spoke.

Zhang Xianyong's so-called manifest method is to light the alcohol lamp, heat two glassware, and nothing else...

A group of people were waiting for Zhang Xianyong to use his supernatural powers, but they didn't expect that everyone was waiting here...

"Master Zhang, does this count as casting the spell?" Someone asked a little puzzled. This process was no different from cooking at home.

When Zhang Xianyong arrived at this time, his face was really hot, and he didn't speak until the soup in the two glass containers was boiled.

"Yes, this little trick has come to an end at this point. If nothing else, the beef soup in this open glass bottle will turn rancid within a few hours or within a day, and this crooked neck The beef soup in the glass bottle should not go bad, and the time it takes to change the taste and spoilage should take longer than the open one..." Zhang Xianyong concluded that he was just doing the experiment according to the established steps, and he really had no magical powers , and it is even more impossible to produce any bizarre photoelectric effects.

"Is it that simple?" Some people asked aloud, ignoring any etiquette. They came to see the supernatural powers, and now they have shown such a soup, which is really wrong.

"My lord, forgive me for being presumptuous, so can I prove that the tiny creature that the real man said exists? Can it prove that the real man has a way to prevent diseases? This is really unconvincing..." Other people also booed, these people, All of them are famous people who feel that they have been swindled, and immediately find Zhang Xianyong's fault. They came all the way to hold this water and land ceremony. They wanted to make a name for themselves, but unexpectedly, they played supporting roles for Zhang Xianyong. It's too irritating, so naturally they have to find trouble with Zhang Xianyong, if they can expose Zhang Xianyong as a "liar", it will show their reputation even more, so they will spare no effort to find fault.

"Hehehehehe..." Zhang Xianyong laughed first when faced with the attacking group.

Seeing that Zhang Xianyong laughed, everyone remained silent, ready to see how Zhang Xianyong would argue.

"...The truth between heaven and earth is naturally best explained in the simplest and easy-to-understand way. If Pindao uses awkward and difficult language to describe it, I'm afraid you will be more confused and even more confused. Although this method is simple now, it can explain the truth between heaven and earth very well, so why not?" Zhang Xianyong explained.

"Amitabha, Master Zhang's words are true. The more important the truth is, the simpler it is. It is indeed necessary to use this simple method to prove the Dao. It is as simple and easy to understand as the real man said." Is the monk really cultivated, really an eminent monk? For Zhang Xianyong's explanation, when others were still skeptical, he was in favor of it.

"Infinite life, thank you for your understanding, master. In fact, the reason why this method is used to explain and prove the Dao is to reflect the meaning that everyone can prove the Dao..." Zhang Xianyong began to brag, and the experiment was almost done. As a result, he had nothing to do, so he naturally wanted to find someone to brag about his Taoism, but he started bragging from this aspect.

When Zhang Xianyong said this, he really shocked many people. Everyone knows what Taoism looked like before, but there has never been a saying that everyone can prove the Tao. If that is the case, wouldn't everyone be a god?It would be a terrible thing to produce a god, but everyone should be a god?This is a joke.

"Amitabha, I listened to what the real man said. Could it be that this Taoist school has to change even the rules and methods of cultivation and proving the Tao?" The old monk immediately opened his eyes wide and became interested when he heard Zhang Xianyong said that everyone can prove the Tao. , To be honest, he is not interested in this "trick" or anything like that, it belongs to the level of "art", he is only interested in "law", he thinks that the invisible and intangible metaphysical "law" is the fundamental, Naturally, he would not lose sight of the basics, seeing that Zhang Xianyong talked about the "Dharma", his eyes lit up immediately.

Not to mention, Zhang Xianyong's foolishness immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even the people who originally wanted to find fault with Zhang Xianyong looked at Zhang Xianyong with wide eyes, wanting to hear what Zhang Xianyong had to say. In their opinion, this was the fundamental .

"Infinite longevity, the master is too famous. It's not that the poor want to change my Taoist practice and the rules and methods of proving the Tao, but that the Tao has always existed, and it will not change because of our changes. The Tao has existed since ancient times. Compared with the Tao, How insignificant are we? Naturally, I dare not say how to change the Dao, but now I have a better understanding of the Dao and the opportunity to observe the Dao. Whether it is proving the Dao or practicing, it is natural to keep pace with the times , naturally I have to follow the will of God..." Zhang Xianyong said with a smile, with the appearance of the Dao in my chest, and the appearance of a profound Taoism.

Not to mention, when Zhang Xianyong said this, everyone's perception of Zhang Xianyong has changed a lot. If you want to change the way of Taoist practice and proof of Taoism, if you have no ability, you dare not speak such big words. If this is nonsense, it will smash him. As for the Taoist orthodoxy, this is not as simple as pretending to be a "magic stick" to deceive people. If there is no real thing, dare to change the rules of Taoist practice and proof?

"Really, please enlighten me..." Someone immediately asked, this was big news, and someone couldn't wait to know how Zhang Xianyong changed the way of Taoist practice and proof.

"Hehehehe, ... this is actually quite simple. The sage climbed Mount Tai and Xiaolu. Before, my Taoists stood at the foot of the mountain and watched the 'Tao'. Naturally, the feeling of standing on the top of the mountain and watching the 'Tao' is different. Naturally, I have some insights Naturally, there must be improvements..." Zhang Xianyong will come to the matter, and when the topic changes, the saint is involved. He also knows that he wants to be "canonized", and if he wants to fight against Confucianism, he must pass the saint of Confucius. Guan, if he doesn't involve Saint Kong, the emperor won't let him go. It's natural to do something after spending so much energy praising him.Speaking of this, Zhang Xianyong couldn't help jumping up with his heart, he was firing at "Sage Kong"!This challenge, this heartbeat to play...

When Zhang Xianyong said this, the audience could hear the taste, and looked at Zhang Xianyong with wide eyes. Taoism is really going to grow up, and it is really going to challenge Confucianism... Zhang Xianyong is also quite courageous!

In this room where they came to find fault, everyone became silent in unison, and the silence was quite strange.

"Amitabha, Master Zhang is really a man of Tao... Can you explain to us?" The old monk broke the silence. He is not a Taoist or a Confucianist, but he wants to see how this Taoist challenge Confucianism, it does have the meaning of watching a good show.

As soon as the old monk broke the silence, everyone's depression was gone, and they followed up one after another, asking Zhang Xianyong to explain in detail, and to see how the Taoist school would make a move.

"Immeasurable Life Blessing... Speaking of it, it was also because I didn't understand the Dao very well, and it was also because I didn't have a better way to understand the Dao before. Previously, my Taoist school handed down more attention to personal practice, and more attention to it. The improvement of personal cultivation, to put it bluntly, whether it is proving the Tao or obtaining the Tao, it is all a matter of one person. Although there are some methods of practice and proving the Tao that benefit all sentient beings, it is also due to the lack of understanding of the Tao. The understanding of Taoism is limited, and the effect is also limited. Now, Pindao has obtained this method of knowing the microcosmic world, and his understanding of the Dao has gone further. Therefore, he dared to say that he would change the rules and methods of Taoist practice and proving the Tao... ..." Zhang Xianyong was a little brash. Although he was a "scientist" who became a monk halfway, he was not stupid. After the door of the microcosm was opened, he also knew that if the microcosm continued to develop, the world would undergo earth-shaking changes. It will be completely changed. If Taoism does not take advantage of this opportunity and take advantage of the emperor's support to leap forward, it will definitely remain completely unknown. This opportunity is really once in a thousand years.

Everyone looked at him with admiration after listening to this obvious "crazy talk". Those who dare to say such words really need to have some skills!I don't have any skills, but I really dare not say such big words. Although Zhang Xianyong is the No. 1 Taoist, Taoism is not his school.

"Infinite longevity, brother Daoist, is this going to change my Taoist orthodoxy?" A Taoist-looking person finally couldn't help but speak out, very anxious, Taoism is also divided into many sects, this person is obviously not the same as Zhang Xianyong One faction, Zhang Xianyong is valued by the emperor, although they are jealous of such a career, but after all, it is a good thing for the Taoists, and they are not allowed to embarrass Zhang Xianyong, and even help, but what Zhang Xianyong said, let The Taoist broke out in a cold sweat.

"Infinite Shoufu, fellow Taoist, don't worry too much. I don't want to change my Taoist orthodoxy, but to make some improvements under the current orthodoxy, so as to further compound the avenue and conform to the avenue..." Zhang Xianyong saw that it was a question from the same sect. The words were also immediately explained.

"...Brother Daoist, this..." The Taoist priest was really anxious. Zhang Xianyong represented Taoism in the world, and now he told so many people the rules and methods of changing his practice and proving the Tao. The splashed water, that is to say, there will be great turmoil in the Taoist school, and his party has no knowledge of the inside story, has no grasp at all, and is naturally very anxious.

"...Don't worry, fellow Taoists, this is a decision made by Pindao after knowing the microcosm. You have to follow the sky, otherwise, wouldn’t you be walking against the sky? For us cultivators, the road to seeking the Tao is so difficult, how can we let the Tao pass by us?” Zhang Xianyong said, very serious, this topic, indeed It's a bit heavy, the future development of Taoism is all tied to him, and the pressure on him is quite heavy.

Seeing that the internal dialogue of this Taoist school is so decisive, everyone is even more interested in Zhang Xianyong. Zhang Xianyong is considered to be on the "Mount Hua", so he can only go down this way, or fall to his death, or climb to the top. A small view of the mountains.
