"The mysterious thing like Baijia Tags cannot be explained by materialistic ideas. Maybe in the mind of Baijia Tags, I will also give a silly materialist a thousand points to me who insists on using it to transform reality. And that copper plate is also extremely mysterious. It is entirely possible that these two mysterious things gathered together and caused some change. Perhaps what clues can I find from the mysterious saying of this Taoist priest?"

On this side, Chen Zhi was thinking, and on the other side, Ge Hong also elaborated on his own theory in detail.

"Xuan is the ancestor of nature and the great sect of all kinds. Xuan is not cold and ruthless, but also has its will. It is the great way. It is only the mysterious way and can be eternal. Therefore, those who want to seek immortals should be loyal, filial piety, harmony, and benevolence as the basis. If you do not practice virtue and practice only, you will not be able to live forever."

Ge Hong's words made him very clear about his opinion, and then he said many opinions in a simplified manner, but not the genealogy of gods and immortals, but the principle of seeking immortals and the root cause of practicing and seeking immortals.

Chen Zhi listened and nodded, understood the truth and also understood why Bao Jingyan had a tit-for-tat confrontation with Ge Hong.

"Ge Hong's idea is actually very clear. He knows that metaphysics is very popular in today's world, so he wants to use metaphysics to promote theology of immortals, which is equivalent to repackaging the theory of Yin and Yang alchemists. But he also knows that metaphysics is derived from classics and cannot directly argue the way of immortals, so it needs to be transformed and assisted with many projects to prove his own thoughts. This is a seclusion writing."

"Especially, the final sayings of loyalty, filial piety, harmony, benevolence and faith reflect his ambition. You must know that although this Taoism inherited the theory of Yin and Yang alchemist, it is considered to be a mixture of Yin and Yang schools, its spiritual essence is more recognized and tends to Taoism. This is like the relationship between law and art. The various ways of Taoism act are its art, which is close to the Yin and Yang schools, but the law it pursues is the great way, the spiritual framework, and the source of their academics."

"Taoist Lao Tzu once had eyes. Because of bad things in the world, there is goodness. It is a kind of contrast and opposite. Therefore, goodness or bad things have no meaning. Badness is not enough to be despicable, and goodness is not necessarily worthy of boasting. Taoism among the various schools of thought does not often talk about good, but the one who studies good things is Confucianism, and even Mencius and Xunxun's theory of good nature and evil nature, derived factions. After Emperor Wu's abolishment of all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone has already run through history. Even now, the core of the Confucian classics is still in the hearts of scholars."

"Ge Hong emphasizes loyalty, filial piety, harmony, benevolence and trustworthiness here, in fact, in order to have appeal among the scholar-official class and not be rejected. At the same time, it is also to make Taoist gods say that they can have vitality, because this accumulation of good deeds is the mainstream of social morality. At any time, you don't have to worry that no one can recognize it."

"This Ge Xiaoxian Master has a very clear idea. If it is put into later modern times, it may be enough to be called the ancestor of the sect and become the leader of the sect. Of course, materialism in the future world is rampant, and spiritual civilization must also conform to the basics... If that physical law, even if Master Ge succeeds, he can only do theoretical work, otherwise he will be suppressed."

This is not Chen Zhi's random thoughts, because after introducing the spiritual core of his theory of immortality, Taoist Ge began to tell what he had been doing.

Perhaps later generations' memory of Ge Hong is more about "Baopuzi", a work he named after his Taoist name, some alchemy recipes and chemical achievements, but for Ge Hong, what he values ​​most is undoubtedly the part that tells the way of gods and describes the crystallization of his thoughts.

At this moment, as the topic deepened, some of Ge Hong's recent achievements gradually touched on.

"The so-called good deeds are also practices, and they can be seen for a long time. I call it accumulating good deeds. To observe the immortals in heaven and earth, there should be a ranking and five immortals. The difference between them lies in the number of good deeds. For example, the earth immortals can only make three hundred good deeds, but the celestial immortals cannot obtain one thousand two hundred good deeds..."

Hearing these in his ears, although he knew in his heart that Ge Hong's theory of good deeds was actually moving closer to the mainstream of society, in order to help the theory of gods integrate into the general public, it still made him feel like he was catching up with channels, like jumping from the historical plane to the world of fairy tales.

Seeing that Ge Hong was getting more and more excited, he seemed to be trying to preach to himself.

I think so, according to Chen Zhi's current status, in the eyes of the people in the capital, it may be just a guardian of the frontier and not return to the center, and the future of development is limited. However, in the eyes of Taoism, Buddhism, and even the Mohist Mohist School, being able to occupy a piece of place and fully control the upper and lower levels, with soldiers and land, is undoubtedly a good goal to spread the theory.

"It's because of this Taoist priest, that's why he came from all the way. No, time doesn't match. If it's because of this, it's going to be confirmed after I defeated it. Now the news has just reached Pengcheng, right? The Taoist priest should have just set off, but now everyone is here."

As he thought about it, Chen Zhi also realized that as his base and team in the North stabilized, more and more people from hundreds of schools would come to him.

“It doesn’t seem like this is a bad thing either.”

Thinking of this, he listened to Ge Hongzheng discussing the famous Peng Zu in Xuzhou

"Peng Zu's life is eight hundred years old and failed to ascend, which is because he has not accumulated enough good deeds, so..."

Shaking his head secretly, Chen Zhi said, "Master, I am also interested in listening to these things. It's just the most urgent thing at the moment, and it's still a key point. After all, it's already late at night. You can get along all the way and you should have a good rest."

Ge Hong could understand such tactful words. He suddenly stopped the sound and smiled and said, "The prefect doesn't want to listen to my noise. It's right. These things are complicated and you have to understand them yourself. Only by practicing them personally can you understand them. The words of outsiders are insignificant."

Chen Zhi didn't defend himself, and laughed without saying a word.

Ge Hong followed and said: "But I said these things, but it is not entirely because of my selfishness. I have arranged the genealogy for the gods and immortals. I am not talking nonsense, but doing things according to the words of the "Book of Changes". The four sentences in the "Book of Changes. Classical Chinese" are the roots, namely "the growth of goodness", "the meeting of goodness", "the harmony of righteousness", and "the stem of things". These are the roots of the four virtues, interpreting Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen, and I can write Yi, and use Yi to make a book to find the foundation of immortals, and you also have something to gain. I know that if you want to achieve great success, you also need to collect the affairs of Yuan, Henry, and the source of Zhen should be here, on the prefect! It was the past!"
