Chapter 2942

Some descriptions of martial arts and practice in Jin Yong's martial arts novels are made up by novelists, which is not consistent with the actual history. For example, the peak of Chinese martial arts was in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, rather than "the more ancient, the more powerful" mentioned in his book. The martial arts in the world did not come from Shaolin Temple. In addition, Yin Zhiping is not a villain who defiled little dragon girl, In the real history, Yin Zhiping is one of the leaders of the Quanzhen school with extremely high cultivation.

However, among many deviations, the seemingly absurd saying "if you want to practice divine skills, wave a knife from the palace" is a very classic wisdom in the practice world.

Among the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Liu Jixing, emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty, issued the most absurd decree in China's 5000 year history: anyone who wants to be an official must be castrated! Even monks and Taoists who want to talk with him must be castrated!

Although the Southern Han Dynasty was located in Guangdong, Guangxi and some parts of Vietnam, it was also a longer Dynasty among the Five Dynasties and ten countries. Unfortunately, the people of this dynasty met a great pervert like Liu Jixing, and the whole Southern Han Dynasty almost became a castration country for a time.

In order to be an official, many people have to wave their knives from the palace. Some Taoists and Buddhists who want to preach also have to bite their teeth from the palace.

But when they came to the palace, they found that they no longer had the troubles in the past vulgar dust. They seemed to become pure hearted and have no desire!

This is nonsense. The eggs have been cut, and there is a fart pursuit?

But the most difficult thing to practice is to control your heart. As the saying goes: don't practice martial arts when you are old, don't practice Taoism when you are young. That's the truth.

Old people are old. If they practice martial arts again, they will ask for trouble. Young people are full of Qi and blood. They have no place to vent their energy, especially those who are extremely energetic. They don't think about anything except women all day. It's strange if such people cultivate Taoism and don't go crazy.

Although castration is cruel, from a rational point of view, it really cuts off distractions and desires, which is indeed of great benefit to practitioners.

Liu Jixing's demon law gave birth to a large number of eunuchs in the Southern Han Dynasty, but he also indirectly created a large group of practitioners with high mana.

This group of self castrated Taoists and monks, after their practice without distractions, made rapid progress and attracted the attention of other practitioners.

What, you're better than me because you cut your own eggs? Is there a mistake? OK, you cut me too!

During this period, the "castration sect" in the spiritual world was very popular, among which the most famous was Qiu Chuji, a Changchun immortal of Quanzhen Longmen sect, a disciple of Wang Chongyang.

When Qiu Chuji founded the Dragon sect, he set the doctrine of "hard practice" and advocated the extinction of desires and emotions. He not only set an example and waved a knife from the palace, but also did not sleep for six years.

However, the "castration sect" is a non mainstream in the spiritual world after all. Many Taoists still want to get married, have children and inherit their families. How can they easily cut off their eggs? Especially in the late Ming and Qing Dynasties, the whole Taoism declined, and the salvation and survival of Taoist practitioners became the most important thing. The primary task was to inherit the family line. Therefore, Taoists cherished their bodies and stopped castrating.
