Chapter 468: New Neighborhood
PS: Hehe, a certain peak made a big oolong and sent the second update to the public chapter...... So, if you've seen it, please don't book.
In Maha, women entering and exiting the city gates are not allowed to go in the middle, but must pass through the gates. When encountering a man passing by, even if the other party is a three-foot child, and she is a hundred-year-old woman, she must avoid the side and let the other party pass first; A woman must not speak ill of a man, and she must not go against the wishes of her father, brother or son at any time...... All the precepts that are thus imposed on a woman are the will of the Buddha.
All the precepts must not be violated. In the northwest corner of the main square, there is a punishment table, which is dedicated to punishing women who violate the precepts. As long as she is on the punishment table, no matter which one she violates, then the woman's life is over, and she will definitely not be able to get married. What's more serious is that the evil retribution on her body is even heavier, and she can't even be a woman in the next life, so she can only be a pig and a dog.
The reason is, the Buddha said, that men are superior to women. Those who are reborn as women in this life must have failed to cultivate in their previous lives, and their karma will be rewarded. Therefore, a woman must be cautious in her words and deeds, and humble in her attitude. No matter how great the humiliation and grievances are, they have to endure it. Only in this way can the evil retribution on the body be eliminated. And when the evil retribution on the body is wiped out, you will be able to be a man in the next life; Of course, on the other hand, if a man does not cultivate in this life, there will be evil retribution in the next life, and if he does not do well, he can only be reborn as a woman.
So, the Buddha said, all beings are equal!
Mu Wan just walked from the city gate to the small courtyard that Xiangxiang had purchased before, and she had already fully appreciated such "equality".
Once inside, she ripped off her headscarf. Said in disgust: "It's just nonsense! This 'Buddha' must have jumped out of a crack in the stone. "If she gave birth to such a son, she had to strangle him with her own hands.
Although the Buddhist cultivators in the small world of the West were also very annoying, it was not enough to make her feel so disgusting.
Xiangxiang came out of the space and said, "Sister, what are we going to do next?" "She's also a hundred people who can't get used to it, and she really doesn't want to stay here.
Mu Wan rubbed her temples on one side and said with a calm face: "Let's stay here for a while." I want to find a few people who are qualified to cultivate the Tao, teach them the exercises, and enlighten them. "Early in the morning. The monks all came out with a bowl to make a fortune. She glanced at it. There were not a thousand monks on the side of the road, but eight hundred. One can imagine how powerful the Buddhist cultivators in the city are. Moreover, the people of the city were proud to fast to the monks, and they were very enthusiastic. The so-called frozen three feet. It's not a day's cold. Just the four of them. How is it possible to revive the Tao here? Walked all the way. She came up with a solution. In the way of others, give back to others. Since Xiyan Buddha cultivation can infiltrate Donghua to cultivate Buddhist cultivation forces, then. She can also develop Dao cultivation in Xiyan! After three extermination of the Dao, Xiyan's Dao system has been completely destroyed. It doesn't matter, she has collected a lot of exercises. Including the "Four Elephants and Five Elements Formula", as long as it is applicable, all the exercises can be passed on to those who have immortal fate.
Xiangxiang understood, and said resentfully: "Their Buddha looks down on women, hmph, we only teach the Dharma to women." β
Isn't this going to the other extreme? Mu Wan angrily rewarded her with a "hairy chestnut", and emphasized: "There is no limit to men and women, only look at the fairy fate!" β
Hei Ye also said: "I also want to accept a few people." These days, seeing Chang Long taking the ghost cultivators out for exercises, he also had the idea of accepting disciples.
"You want to collect demon cultivation?" To be honest, Mu Wan was really worried.
The dark night shook his head: "It's not a demon degenerate, it's a demon clan." I found that the demons here are very strong, and I should be able to receive the demons of purer blood. β
Mu Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiangxiang: "What about you?" β
Xiangxiang said with a smile: "There must be many spirit seeds here that we don't have in Donghuazhou." When you come across something that catches your eye, you will collect some incense. β
Mu Wan raised her eyebrows, and simply proposed to go to the space for a meeting and plan well.
So, the three of them entered the space together, called Chang Long, and held a meeting in the practice room of the main room. The topic is: how to re-spread the Taoist system in Xiyanzhou.
That's right, it's the "revival of Taoism"! Because after three large-scale exterminations, there is no Taoist system in Xiyanzhou today.
At the meeting, the first precaution that Mu Wandao said was: summarize the lessons and lessons of Xiyanzhou's Taoist cultivation, so before passing on the exercises, the iron law of "immortals do not disturb mortals" must be instilled.
Chang Long proposed: "These people with immortal fate are very likely to be the pioneers of the new Dao system in Xiyan Continent. Therefore, qualification is secondary, and the key is to examine its character. β
Xiangxiang insisted: "We must emphasize that 'Taoism is not inferior to men and women'!" β
The night clenched his fists: "The demons and monsters who fight for the tiger will be destroyed." β
"This is nature." Mu Wan nodded and looked at Xiangxiang, "Xiangxiang, you go to the mountains and forests outside the city to see if you can find a secluded and uninhabited place of cultivation." If there were, we bought it and turned it into a farm, which is actually a Taoist temple. During this time, we first settled in the city and searched for people with immortal fate outside the city. Regardless of gender, regardless of background, the first look at the character, and then look at the immortal fate, first find ten people, pass on their exercises, and guide them to cultivate. β
"Okay!" Xiangxiang didn't say a word, and answered.
The night said, "It is very inconvenient for the women here to behave. I'll go with you. β
Xiangxiang didn't respond: "There are Buddhist cultivators everywhere, you better stay at home." β
Mu Wan smiled: "You two go all the way." There are still old routines at home. β
Chang Long nodded yes. In fact, he really wanted to go back to Fengqi Country to have a look. More than 1,000 years have passed, and I don't know what my homeland has become. However, after thinking about it, he swallowed the words that came to his lips - look at the girl's posture, which is to spread the Dharma on the Xiyan Continent. So, what's the hurry, sooner or later you have to go back. Now that I have recklessly dived back, there are thousands of mountains and rivers in between, if I accidentally alarm the Dharma kings along the way, wouldn't it be a surprise to the grass and snakes, and ruin the girl's plan?
So, it was decided - Xiangxiang and the night immediately got up and went to the surrounding mountains and rivers to find water; Mu Wan and Chang Long first looked around the city, one was to find out the situation, and the other was to look for people with immortal fate.
It's so inconvenient for the women here to go out. Therefore, Mu Wan decided to take Yi Rong Dan. Disguised as a merchant. In this way, she can legitimately walk the streets and alleys and look for people with immortal fate.
Chang Long, in turn, disguised himself as a middle-aged mother-in-law and stayed in the small courtyard to take care of the family.
The night is very powerful, enter the space, come out after a while, and when you come out again, a small wheelbarrow has been prepared. A fist-sized brass bell was hung on the car. He said: "The merchants here all push small carts like this to sell goods. No need to sell. If women want to buy something, they will come out when they hear the sound of bells. β
Xiangxiang looked at the brand-new car and said, "This is too new." Do you want to do it? β
Mu Wan smiled and shook her head. Zhang Kou made it up: "I was originally a novice merchant who had just entered the city from the countryside. Newly purchased family business. Brand new, of course. β
Everyone laughed.
Later. Everyone went their separate ways.
Mu Wan used the Yi Rong Dan, turned into a dark night, and walked out of the small courtyard first. She's going to go to the bazaar. Add some needles and threads, daily necessities and fashionable little jewelry - if she wants not to show her stuffing, she has to be a small merchant.
After she left, Xiangxiang and Black Night also went out.
Chang Long conjured into a middle-aged woman, with a crimson turban on her head, only two eyes exposed, pretending to be cleaning the yard, but in fact she was inspecting her neighbors. At the same time, it is also a sense of presence.
Sure enough, after a while, there was an old woman in the left-hand family across the flower wall, smiling and clasping her hands together, and greeted him: "Sister, is your family newly moved?" β
Chang Long put down the big broom in his hand, walked over, and folded his hands, and then, the two hands gestured quickly, and the mouth whispered "ahhh
"It turned out to be a mute." The old woman snorted disdainfully, and turned back to the house.
Chang Long shook his head and smiled, and continued to sweep the yard. He deliberately pretended to be dumb. Because I heard Xiangxiang say that the women in Maha City are very gossipy. After the men went out, the women in the neighborhood liked to get together in the name of needlework, and the east family and the west family gossip. And Chang Long can't even hold the needle steadily, and he will definitely be exposed by then. So, he had to pretend to be dumb. Here, physical mutilation is also a kind of evil retribution, which is despised by people. In this way, he was able to avoid the women in the streets.
Don't underestimate women's ability to deliver information. When Mu Wan came back, the people in this area already knew that the newly moved family had a mute mother-in-law.
Well, in fact, the men are also gossipy.
Mu Wan just walked to the door of her small courtyard, and the courtyard door of the family next to her made a "zig" sound and opened a crack. An elderly man poked his head out, "Hey", and asked, "Are you new here?" β
Seeing that it was an old man with a white beard, Mu Wan turned around according to the rules of the city, folded his hands to him, and replied, "Yes." We just moved here today. β
The old man let out an "oh" and asked, "What is the relationship between the previous family and you?" β
Mu Wan opened her mouth and came: "Oh, I'm one of their nephews in the country. β
"What do you do? Who's in the house? β
Mu Wan replied: "I used to grow spices. Now I'm ready to be a merchant. We have three brothers and sisters. In order to take care of my life, my mother also came to the city. My father and younger siblings still live in the countryside. In the future, I will occasionally come to stay for a while. She had to make up a "husband" for Chang Long. Because according to the custom here, widows are to be buried. Otherwise, it will be seen as unchaste and unclean, and will be spurned by the people.
"That's right." The old man asked unhappily, "Didn't your father tell you that you were going to visit the alley chief before you moved here?" β
Mu Wan hurriedly explained: "Yes." My father specially instructed me. I went to the bazaar to buy gifts. β
The elderly man looked her up and down, saw that his hands were empty, rolled his eyelids and hummed: "As an elder in the neighborhood, I remind you, you should go and see the alley chief." β
"Thank you." Mu Wan clasped her hands together again and thanked her.
The old man accepted her salute, retreated into the courtyard, and slammed the door shut.
Mu Wan touched her nose and said in her heart: Where is the alley chief's house?
Chang Long listened really well in the house, and when she entered the house, he smiled and said, "Go to the left-hand side, go to four families." The big courtyard with two entrances is the alley chief's house. β
"Got it." Mu Wan took out a pack of pastries from the storage bag. This is the goods she bought and is going to sell tomorrow. It's just right to give as a gift.
As a result, the alley chief seemed to be angry, and he didn't even let the courtyard gate in.
A teenager and a half-year-old son led two servants and met her at the gate of the courtyard: "My father is busy now, so I don't have time to see you." Is there anything wrong with you? β
Mu Wan smiled and offered the gift with both hands, explaining her intentions.
"Oh, you're the new guy on the street." The half-grown man glanced at it, motioned for a servant to take the salute, and asked the old man again.
Mu Wan still answered word for word.
"Alright. I'll show my father. You can go back. The half-grown man held his head high, threw down Mu Wan, and turned to leave.
"Close the door." He said, waving.
"Bang!" One of the servants immediately closed the courtyard door.
Mu Wan smiled.
You can't blame this half-sized kid for being so arrogant and rude. Because he is convinced that everything he has in this life is the blessing he received from accumulating virtue in his previous life. All those who are inferior to him must have done good deeds and accumulated more virtues than him in their previous lives. So, he enjoyed everything he had, including the prestige of his father's family.
