Chapter 141: The Doctrine of Moon Worship
At midnight, the top of Lishan Mountain.
After Huang Haisheng was severely injured by Zhang Yunxian, he let out a series of weird laughs, which made Zhang Yunxian stunned.
"What are you laughing at?" he asked, looking at Huang Haisheng cautiously.
Huang Haisheng turned over and sat on the ground, gasping constantly, looking at Zhang Yunxian with relief, but he had no intention of doing it again.
"The power of the Apocalypse is really extraordinary, Huang admires it!"
Zhang Yunxian wondered in his heart, shouldn't this be a battle of life and death? Does Huang Haisheng feel that he can't beat himself, is this trying to admit defeat and save his life?
"I thought you wanted to kill me and were ready to die?
"Haha...... That's right! He is a young man, and he is arrogant!"
Huang Haisheng laughed loudly, looking at Zhang Yunxian's eyes with admiration, "However, I'm not here to kill you!"
"What?" Zhang Yunxian thought he had misheard.
"There's nothing wrong with me being one of the Lunatic Protectors, but I'm not here to kill you, on the contrary, I'm here to help you!"
"Can you help me?"
"Those left-wingers are determined to get rid of you, and Sun Protector has high hopes for the Apocalypse, for fear that you are not their opponent, and he asked me to try your depth!"
Sun Protector, who has lived for nearly six hundred years, is the oldest and highest cultivator in the Moon Worship Sect, Zhang Yunxian has heard Yue talk about it before.
Looking at Huang Haisheng's expression, it didn't seem to be fake, but in order to make sure that it was just in case, Zhang Yunxian still used the method of spiritual communication to verify his identity.
"I see, Huang Protector is bothered, it doesn't matter what your injuries are, right?"
Zhang Yunxian confirmed that what Huang Haisheng said was true, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, just now he was really fighting with his life, and his shot was too heavy.
Huang Haisheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a pleased smile: "It's okay, I can still bear this body! It won't be a big problem to go back and raise for a while! But the strength of the Apocalypse, you are really much beyond our expectations!"
Zhang Yunxian smiled embarrassedly, stepped forward to carefully support Huang Haisheng, activated his essence, and carefully checked the injuries in his body.
"Don't waste your strength for me!" Huang Haisheng noticed that there was suddenly an extra warm essence in his body, and he was quickly repairing his injured internal organs, and immediately understood that this was Zhang Yunxian using his essence to treat him, and he couldn't help but shout anxiously.
"The strength of those three sage high-level protectors, and I are all in the middle of the best, no matter how good you are now, I think that if you are one-on-one, they are not your opponents, if you are one-on-three, it is estimated that the victory or defeat is unpredictable! Not to mention that there is also a Song Protector, he has already half-stepped into the saint, even Sun Protector is a little afraid of him, no matter how powerful you are, after all, you have just entered the sage high level! So, don't waste your essence for me anymore, or think about it, how can you protect yourself!"
"The water is coming to cover the earth, and the soldiers are coming to block it! They are going to kill me, and I naturally will not show mercy to their subordinates!" Zhang Yunxian saw that Huang Haisheng wanted to get up forcibly, and hurriedly pressed his shoulder, continuing to convey a steady stream of essence to him.
Huang Haisheng struggled twice, but he couldn't break free, so he had to sigh and sit on the ground with peace of mind, letting Zhang Yunxian call the shots.
"Calm down and keep your mind, don't have distracting thoughts!" Zhang Yunxian shouted.
Huang Haisheng sat cross-legged cooperatively, feeling Zhang Yunxian's essence running in his body.
More than half an hour later.
"Whew......" Zhang Yunxian exhaled a long breath of turbidity, withdrew his hands, was slightly tired, twisted his neck from side to side, and made a crisp sound of 'crackling', obviously because he had been in the same position for too long, and he was a little unbearable.
Huang Haisheng slowly opened his eyes and gratefully hugged Zhang Yunxiao's fists.
"The Great War is coming, and the Apocalypse is willing to waste so much spirit for me, I really deserve it!"
"It's because I don't know the inside story, and I beat you to a serious injury, so naturally I should solve it, Huang Protector doesn't have to be polite! It's just that I don't know something, and I hope you can help me answer my questions!"
Huang Haisheng smiled slightly and said, "Do you want to ask, why do the leftists of the Lunatic Sect have to kill you, right?"
Zhang Yunxian nodded.
"I asked your sect leader, she doesn't know much, she can't say clearly, I don't know if Huang Protector can understand the reason for this?"
"Well, the matter has come to this, even if it is to tell you, it doesn't matter!" Huang Haisheng seemed to have made up his mind, "This matter is a long story, but fortunately, the night is long, and we have time." ”
"I want to hear it in detail!" Zhang Yun sat idly on the ground, looking like he was listening.
"The history of the Lunatic Cult has a long history, and no one in the current congregation can say clearly which dynasty the Moon Worship is and who founded it. After several major upheavals, the historical texts in the church have also become incomplete, and people do not understand the essence of them. About 2,000 years ago, because of the lack of doctrine, there were many disagreements among the believers out of context, and the church was slowly divided into left and right wings!"
Zhang Yunxian said "oh!", only then did he understand that the situation of the Moon Worship Sect that Yue said at that time was more complicated, and it turned out to be a situation left over from two thousand years ago.
"The differences and contradictions between these two factions are mainly concentrated in our Lunatic Cult, a prophecy that has been passed down for an unknown number of generations. The prophecy says that in this world, there will be a 'Heavenly Apocalypse' who will lead all the cultivators in the world to open a new era of prosperity and enlightenment, and mankind will regain the power of God, and the order between heaven and earth will be changed for this!"
Regarding the legend of the Apocalypse, Zhang Yunxian has heard many versions, and they are basically the same.
"Why did the prophecy about the Apocalypse lead you into two distinct factions?" he asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Left-wingers firmly believe that the Apocalypse is the natural enemy of the Lunatic Cult, and the significance of the establishment of the Lunatic Cult is to completely prevent the awakening of the Apocalypse! The purpose of leaving this prophecy by the predecessors is to let the followers of later generations remember this point, and they must always guard against the appearance of the Apocalypse in all their lives!"
"And our right-wing members always believe that this prophecy is actually to remind everyone that we must seize the opportunity, follow in the footsteps of the Apocalypse, and create a path to godhood in the era of the end of the law!"
We do not know exactly how these two views came about, and there is not the slightest evidence in the existing doctrinal texts to support the respective views. However, this difference in belief seems to be innate. Over the past few hundred years, the left and right wings have been self-contained, and the contradictions have not been alleviated in the slightest. ”
"Since there is no clear statement in the classics in the sect, why can't the two of you sit down and have a good talk? This kind of inexplicable stubbornness, why do both sides have to stick to it to the end?" Zhang Yunxian really couldn't understand.
"Alas!" Huang Haisheng sighed, "Who says it's not? Over the past few hundred years, we have communicated with Song Protector and them I don't know how many times, but every time the two sides talked about the issue of prophecy, they immediately became tense, and there was no compromise at all. ”
"Last winter, a meteor shower that suddenly came, and two lost meteorites outside the sky, caused a dispute between the Dharma Protectors on our left and right wings again! Sun Protector and Song Protector also calculated that the Apocalypse reappeared in the world, this prophecy that had been silent for hundreds of years was fulfilled again, and the Lunatic Sect finally settled down for a while, and the two factions of people and horses were gearing up, and they were always paying attention to your every move!"
"During these days, the speed of your progress is really fast and a bit perverted, and several Dharma protectors on the left are worried that if you continue at this rate, it won't be long before you will become transcendent and truly awaken. At that time, they will no longer be able to stop you from doing anything, so two days ago, just as you were promoted to the high rank of the Sage, they forcibly convened an internal assembly to coerce and induce two of the Dharma Protectors to remain neutral and abstain from voting, thus passing a resolution to eradicate the 'Apocalypse' in one fell swoop. ”
Zhang Yunxian said a few words ominously on WeChat, and it was not until this moment, under Huang Haisheng's eloquent narration, that he completely understood the cause and effect of this whole thing.
Although there are still some minor issues he still doesn't understand, such as why the Lunatic Cult's interpretation of the 'Apocalypse' prophecy is divided into two completely different opinions, or how did the Lunatic leftists build up their hatred of the Apocalypse in their hearts?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Zhang Yunxian's mind, and he thought of a far-fetched possibility.
"Why are you called the Lunatic Cult, and does it have anything to do with the moon?" he looked at Huang Haisheng expectantly, wanting to hear if his answer was consistent with his own guess.
Huang Haisheng was stunned for a moment, as if he had never thought that someone would ask him this question.
"This, as I just said, the historical origin of the Lunatic Worship Sect is too long, and the scriptures in the Sect are incomplete, and now no one can fully explain our teachings. ”
When Zhang Yunxian heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head with some regret, it seems that the inheritance of the Lunatic Worship Sect must be too serious to lead to such an absurd phenomenon, when the protector of the sect can't even explain the meaning of his sect's name.
"Still,"
Huang Haisheng paused, as if after careful consideration, he slowly said: "Our religion still retains some ancient traditions, every January, July and October, the full moon night of these months, always presided over by the sect leader himself, a grand moon worship ceremony, oh, it is to the full moon, worship from afar, and offer some sacrificial gifts, and then whether it is left-wing or right-wing believers, they must sing and dance together to praise the great merits of the moon!"
Zhang Yunxian's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt as if he had grasped some key points.
"Are there any other activities related to the moon?" he asked, looking at Huang Haisheng with excitement on his face.
