Aihe came to Liu Bian and paid homage.

Liu Bian raised his arm and signaled Ai He to get up: "The Taoist priest has not realized his fate. How do you know that Liu Bei is a dragon's fate? What's going on with the physiognomy you mentioned?"

Ai He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, what you practice is the human body. If the true energy is full, it must be in the form. The dragon's life has the shape of the dragon's life. The tiger's life has the shape of the tiger's life. Some are in the face, some are in the body, and some are in the shape, each with different clues. It can be roughly guessed in the eyes of those who are interested. Of course, if you look at it at a higher level, you don't need to pursue these details. It is like watching the fire, just like in the eyes of Your Majesty, there is no trace that can be hidden."

Liu Bian couldn't help laughing and laughed loudly: "Master, although you keep your words in your mouth, you haven't touched your heart."

"Your Majesty criticized me, I am very rude and my master said that when I was alive, I said that my achievements were limited, and I am afraid I will not be able to realize my life in this life."

"Are you a disciple of Master Zhang Tian?"

Ai He smiled slightly: "Report to Your Majesty, I am the most unreliable disciple of the Heavenly Master."

"Since you can become an introductory disciple, your qualifications will naturally not be too bad. The most unpromising thing is that you are unwilling to work hard, or will the Heavenly Master refuse to teach?"

Ai He was stunned, then smiled and said, "When I entered the sect, the Heavenly Master had already been in seclusion and practiced, and I was taught by my senior brother."

Liu Bian nodded and did not argue any further. After asking a few words about practice, he pushed the goddess's portrait to Ai He: "Do you recognize this person?"

Ai He's eyes flashed and his expression became solemn. He looked at it carefully for a long time and shook his head: "It looks a bit like the senior sister, Mrs. Si Shi. But... it's not very similar."

"Madam Si Shi Shi?" Liu Bian was surprised: "Are you talking about Madam Lu, the wife of Madam Si Shi Shi Shi Zhang Heng?"

"Yes." Ai He was obviously a little confused: "However, I have never heard of Tianshidao preaching on the grassland, nor have I heard of Sister Lu who has been to the grassland. How could the Xianbei people shaped her appearance into a statue of gods?"

Liu Bian was not very concerned. Since Ai He said that this person looked a bit like Lu, let Lu himself come to Guanzhong. If you ask him in person, everything will be clear. Although Ai He is the person in charge of Guanzhong's rule, he is only responsible for one party and is far away from the headquarters of Tianshi Dao. It is normal for some situations to be unclear. He immediately asked about the spread of Tianshi Dao in Guanzhong. Ai He also cheered up and reported to Liu Bian carefully.

Unlike the vigorous expansion of Taiping Dao and its full ambition, Tianshidao is more like a Taoist sect. The way they attract believers is also more gentle. They do not advocate forceful resistance. They also advocate the spirit of mutual assistance. At this point, Tianshidao attracted some of the Momen's spirit of equality and fraternity, but replaced the force color of the Momen with Shinto.

The spread of the Heavenly Master Dao is not as rapid as that of the Taiping Dao. But on the other hand, they also avoided the tragic fate like the Taiping Dao. Most of the Taoists in later generations were the Tianshi Dao lineage, and Longhu Mountain became the holy land of the Tianshi Dao, while Taiping Dao disappeared into the long river of history due to the heavy blows from the government.

Liu Bian was concerned about the spread of the Tao of Heaven in Guanzhong, not just asking casually. Since he knew that he would let Zhi Qian go to the grassland to preach Buddhism, he was certainly also preventing someone from using religion to deal with him. The 40,000 to 50,000 Yellow Turban Army and his family members were also a force that cannot be ignored. Once they unite with Tao of Heaven, God knows what problems will occur.

When Liu Bian learned that although the principles of the Heavenly Master and the Taiping Dao are similar, their approaches are completely different, he had an idea.

"Since the Tao of Heaven and Taiping are both Taoist sects, who is more skillful in Taoism? Why not get together to discuss it?" Liu Bian said slowly: "You stay here for a while, and I will summon the Yellow Turban Commander Guo Tailai to discuss with you. How about it?"

Ai He replied calmly: "Your Majesty, it is not necessary to discuss Taoism. However, Taoism is a natural understanding of each person. People have different talents, and their understanding of Taoism is of course very different. Forced consistency may not be the best strategy. Not only is it difficult to unify opinions, but it is more likely to cause unnecessary disputes, which is contrary to the true meaning of Taoism."

Liu Bian smiled slightly and did not answer. Ai He was right. It is difficult to judge the level of Taoism. There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. There is no unified standard for it. Who can say whose Taoism is the best? However, the purpose of his proposal to discuss the Tao is not to discuss the level of Taoism, but to make Taiping Taoism and Tianshi Taoist opposition so that he can check and balance it.

In the history of the Han Dynasty, there were more than once the emperor intervened in academic affairs, and the Baihuguan Conference was the most famous one. However, he did not want to copy the Baihuguan practice of using power to determine academic affairs. He just provoked their arguments and prevented them from being at peace or even forming alliances. For the court, this could divide and govern them. For the Taoist sect, this could also prevent them from cherishing themselves and keeping their shortcomings.

Seeing that Liu Bian had made up his mind, Ai He knew that his arm could not twist his thighs, so he had to bow and accept the order. Anyway, Mrs. Lu was going to come to Guanzhong, so why not just discuss it.

"Master Ai, I will show you something." Liu Bian waved his hand. Ma Chao took a silk picture and spread it on the desk in front of Ai He. It was the Tai Chi picture drawn by Cai Yan. However, in order to prevent it from being broken, Liu Bian asked Cai Yan to draw a new picture on the silk.

As soon as he saw the Tai Chi diagram, Ai He was stunned for a moment, and his back, which had been slightly bent, immediately straightened. He stretched out his hand, carefully picked up the Tai Chi diagram, looked at it carefully, and his eyes showed irrepressible joy. After a while, he put down the Tai Chi diagram and bowed to Liu Bian: "I'm brave enough to ask Your Majesty, is this picture made by Your Majesty?"

Liu Bian smiled unfathomablely: "What do you think of this picture?"

"The ultimate mystery." Ai He suddenly said: "I have learned the three flavors of Taoism. I have practiced Taoism for decades and have never seen such a concise but mysterious illustration. Your Majesty, can I meet this master and ask in person for advice?"

"Are you so smart?"

"Of course." Ai He seemed to be overjoyed, no longer had the immortal spirit of the first sight. He talked endlessly, quoted the scriptures and demonstrated that this picture deeply understood the true meaning of the Great Dao, and finally said: "Yi said: One yin and one yang are called Tao; and said: The Great Dao is simple and easy; this picture embodies such essence, one yin and one yang, and the most simple state, which can be said to be unsupported. If you force it, only chaos can be solved. Chaos is the way Lao Tzu said, "The trance is vague, there is an image; the trance is vague, there is something in it; the trance is dark, there is essence, and the essence is very true, and there is faith; if things are mixed, they are born in heaven and earth'."

Looking at Ai He who was dancing, Liu Bian couldn't help laughing. "Since this picture is so clever, are you showing off your skills? Let me see if you are qualified to communicate with this expert."

Aihe looked at Liu Bian and understood in his heart that this master might be the emperor himself. If he wanted to obtain the true scriptures from the emperor's mouth, he would of course give him a tribute first. He made a cruel decision and bowed: "Your Majesty, I have a secret technique for guiding the master, and I am willing to show my ugly face in front of Your Majesty."

Liu Bian nodded.

Ai He stood up, stood firm on the stage, his eyes draped down, breathed and calmed down, his arms slowly raised, and slowly opened, like a big bird spreading its wings, slowly closed, and placed his hands in front of his abdomen, as if he was hugging a ball, slowly rubbing.

Liu Bian felt a little familiar, so he couldn't help but sit up and stared at Ai He intently.

Ai He held the ball with both hands, turned thirty-six times, and then turned thirty-six times, then slowly closed his momentum. He raised his eyelids and was about to speak, but he couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw Liu Bian's look shocked.

"His Majesty?"

"What kind of guidance are you?"

"The thirteen innate gestures start."

"The Thirteen Innate Ways?" Liu Bian was suspicious. This is not what kind of guiding technique is, it is clearly the starting gesture of Tai Chi. Although he has never practiced this kind of old lady's fitness exercise, he has seen too many of them. It is known to everyone in China. When did Tai Chi become a guiding technique?

"Yes, the thirteen innate forces include the starting gesture and the twelve forces, and the twelve forces are in line with the twelve serious merits..."

Aihe explained the thirteen innate postures. In addition to the gestures, the other twelve postures are each connected to the twelve seriousness. Like the guide map of the twelve forms, these twelve postures also need to be progressive step by step. The gestures have not reached a great success and cannot enter the practice of the next posture, otherwise it will be difficult to have any effect.

"The gesture is to nourish the momentum. You need to nourish the dantian. When the true qi is automatically, you can practice according to the meridians."

Although Liu Bian's heart was turbulent, his face calmed down. "How much has you practiced?"

"I am ashamed, I have been practicing gestures." Ai He said ashamedly: "It is said that the only one who truly practices the thirteen powers in this sect is the Tianshi himself. The other brothers have not heard of the great success of their cultivation."

"Who has the complete map of Thirteen Strengths in his hand?"

"The Thirteen Powers are the secret genealogy of the master, of course, they can only be secretly passed down by the Tianshi lineage. After the Tianshi becomes immortal, it will be preserved by the Sishi. The Sishi becomes immortal ten years ago, and now it is in the hands of the Sishi's wife Lu. If anyone makes a breakthrough, he will return to Qingcheng Mountain and verify it by the Sishi's wife, and then grant the next power."

Liu Bian nodded and said nothing. When Ai He and Liu Fan got off the Jianzhang platform, he stood up, concentrated and stopped, slowly raised his arms, and practiced according to the posture Ai He had just demonstrated. As soon as his arm was lifted, he felt a dantian jump, and a hot current surged up with the movement of his arms, injecting his thumb into the lung meridian on the inside of his arm.

The Buddha bone relic with his thumb suddenly lit up, and an invisible round momentum burst out, rushing towards the surroundings. Liu Bei, Ma Chao and others, who were standing aside, only felt a breeze blowing, and they all thought it was blowing, and they didn't care. However, when they found that the curtains around were bulging out, not being blown by the wind outside, they realized that the wind was a little weird. They turned their heads and looked at Liu Bian, who raised his arms and smiled, and were stunned.

Liu Bei reacted first and turned over and fell to the ground: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"
