Taoists and monks appear more than once in Dream of the Red Chamber. Sometimes, they play the role of saving the world, such as mysterious leper monks and lame Taoists, and whenever the characters in "Dream of the Red Chamber" have something difficult to do, they will appear very timely. Sometimes it is to save people's lives, sometimes it is to make people monks, and sometimes it is to solve people's puzzles and show the way forward.
At the same time, there are also many Daoists and monks in "Dream of the Red Chamber" who have done all bad things. Such as Jia Baoyu's dry lady Ma Daobao. This monk, who should have been devoted to goodness, had a more vicious heart than anyone else, and had just earned enough incense money in Jia's mother's room, and then ran to Aunt Zhao's room to kill Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng for five hundred taels of silver.
However, the most vicious monk in "Dream of the Red Chamber" is not Ma Daobao, but a Taoist priest who was personally named "the ultimate Daoist" by the emperor. Judging from the name of this Taoist monk, there was an ominous atmosphere. After all, in "Dream of the Red Chamber", everyone's name has a deep meaning, and it is definitely not a random call.
On the twenty-ninth occasion, Jia Yuanchun sent eunuchs to send one hundred and twenty-two pieces of silver from the palace, and asked Jia Fu to fight for him for three days of peace in Qingxuguan. And the Lord of Pure Emptiness is this person who has attained the end of the Tao. This final Daoist family name is Zhang, and Jia Zhen will call him "Grandpa Zhang". More importantly, this final Daoist also has a very special identity - the stand-in of Rong Guogong.
Because of his age and the stand-in for Rong Guogong, Zhang Daoshi (the ultimate Daoist) could do something that no one else could do at all--entering and leaving jia fu at will, and even the internal relatives of Jia fu did not shy away from him. Therefore, the "Lady Miss, he has seen" in Ning Rong's Second Mansion.
From the stand-in of rongguo duke to the "final Daoist" who was personally sealed by the emperor, from this experience, we can roughly infer Zhang Daoshi's Qingyun road. At first, he must also be a Daoist monk from a cold door, so he would be a stand-in for Rong Guogong. Therefore, to a certain extent, Zhang Daoshi can also be said to be famous for being attached to Jia Province. Or maybe this Zhang Daoist did have a hand, after relying on the Duke of Rongguo, his "cultivation" road was smooth sailing, not only "the former emperor Yukou personally called 'Great Illusion Immortal', but also today's sealed 'Final Daoist'." The former emperor and the current emperor had great respect for him, and those princes and nobles in the capital naturally had to respect Zhang Daoshi a little, so he became a "god" in the capital.
So, what is the relationship between this Zhang Daoist (the ultimate Daoist) and Lin Daiyu?
Let's put aside Zhang Daoshi's life for the time being, and then look at what kind of ending Lin Daiyu will have. In the forty-eighth time, there is also a very intriguing small detail, Jia Shu took a fan of the Shi Duzi family's twenty ancient fans, these fans are xiangfei, palm bamboo and other precious things. This stone idiot was determined and refused to sell these ancient fans. Therefore, Jia Yucun made an excuse, saying that Shi Duzi "owed guan yin" and copied the fan in his home and gave it to Jia Pardon.
Many readers have tasted it, these fans are actually alluding to Lin Daiyu, and this stone nerd is actually Jia Baoyu. Therefore, this story is actually hinting at the end of Lin Daiyu.
How the ancient fan of Shi Nerd zi was known to Jia Yu was not written in "Dream of the Red Chamber". But how Lin Daiyu's reputation was passed on was obviously related to Zhang Daoshi. Because of all the men in "Dream of the Red Chamber", only Zhang Daoshi can enter and leave Jia Mansion at will, and only Zhang Daoshi has seen all the ladies in Jia Mansion, and Zhang Daoshi is very familiar with all the dignitaries in the capital.
Therefore, in the story after eighty times, it should be this Zhang Daoshi (the final Daoist) who told a certain magnate about Lin Daiyu's beauty and talent, and this magnate would go to Jia Fu to force him to marry Lin Daiyu, which caused Lin Daiyu's death and Jia Baoyu's tragic life, and also plunged Jia Fu into a hell of eternal disaster.
The end of the Daoist, the complete "end" of Jia Fu, this is Cao Xueqin's other profound arrangement, he is the real fierce character in "Dream of the Red Chamber", single-handedly caused the bleak story of Daiyu's death.
