Chapter 214: Theology

It's been almost two years since I returned to my hometown in Gantian Town.

Two years ago, after Mao Xiaofang, who lost his adopted son on Hong Kong Island and his Xiangdao Taoist Hall was destroyed, returned to his hometown, he was concerned about Zhong Bang's affairs and carefully studied the classics in the school.

Perhaps because he did not have the vision to accept apprentices, when he was on Hong Kong Island, his adopted son Ah Fan was not interested in Taoism, the second disciple Zeng became a judge, and the third disciple Zhong Bang was expelled from the school.

Mao Xiaofang, who was greatly hit, returned to Gantian Town for the inheritance of Taoism, and accepted three more apprentices within two years. Two men and one woman, the eldest disciple Ah Hai is honest, but Mu Ne is stupid, slow to learn anything, and his qualifications are not ordinarily poor; The second disciple A Chu, although he looks good, is impetuous, lazy to eat, and has not made any progress after studying Taoism for two years.

On the contrary, it is Mao Xiaofang's senior brother Lei Gang's daughter Ah Xiu, who has good qualifications, strong understanding and is willing to learn, but unfortunately she is not a man, and she can't inherit the Taoist Hall. Mao Xiaofang was very depressed when he thought that he had no successor and could not carry forward the Taoist sect.

In addition, a god cult has recently popped up in the town, and anyone who has joined this religion, no matter how bad they were before, immediately put down the butcher's knife and become a good person. Bad people become good people when they join the church, such a strange thing, although Mao Xiaofang couldn't figure it out for a while, but he always felt that there was a problem, but this divine religion has always persuaded people to be kind, and Mao Xiaofang is not nosy.

But when his apprentice Ah Chu became the leader of the Divine Sect, Mao Xiaofang, who was in an extremely bad mood, not only couldn't eat Ah Hai's cooking, but was also in no mood to teach Ah Xiu Taoism. Although Ah Chu didn't grow up, he actually became the second person to betray the teacher, which really made Mao Xiaofang's face dull!

On this day, Mao Xiaofang had dinner and was reading in the bedroom as usual, and he didn't like to be disturbed, so he heard a noise outside, which seemed to be Ahai Axiu quarreling with others.

was already in an uneven mood because of Ah Chu's judge, and before he could go to the living room to see the person who came, Mao Xiaofang said impatiently: "The Taoist hall has closed, if you have something, come back tomorrow!" ”

"Master Mao, you're in a bad mood! Old friends come to see you, you don't welcome it! ”

A familiar voice came, and when he walked into the living room, he saw Li Mu and Xuan Kui standing at the gate of the courtyard, Mao Xiaofang, who had not seen him for two years, was suddenly very excited, and a smile appeared on his serious face.

hurriedly stepped forward to hold Li Mu's hand, warmly invited Li Mu and Xuan Kui into the house, and swept away the depression and depression that had been in place for several days, and then Mao Xiaofang glared at the two stunned apprentices, and ordered: "Ah Hai, why are you still standing, don't pour tea!" Ah Xiu, move two chairs in! ”

These days, their own master has been sullen, and Ah Hai and Ah Xiu can only do things carefully, for fear that they will make a mistake and make Mao Xiaofang angry.

Unexpectedly, the two people who came to the door at night did not look very old, and they turned out to be acquaintances of their own masters. After pouring the hot tea for the guests, under Ah Xiu's pouting gaze, Ah Hai asked curiously, "Master, these two gentlemen areβ€”"

"What sir? Ah Hai, Ah Xiu, say hello to Daochang Li! ”

When Li Mu saw his two apprentices who didn't know how to be polite, Mao Xiaofang's face changed, and after scolding him loudly, he changed to a gentle face and introduced to Li Mu: "Master Li, Xuan Kui!" Let me make you laugh, these are my two unsuccessful apprentices, I'll introduce you to them, their names areβ€”"

"Don't be so outside! Ah Hai, Ah Xiu, right? ”

"Huh? Master Li, how do you know? ”

Mao Xiaofang's question is also the voice of the two people standing on the side.

Li Mu was already a Taoist at a young age, looking at his master's attitude, his Taoist cultivation was definitely not low, after all, Mao Xiaofang's personality was still relatively proud, and it was rare to have a fellow Taoist in his eyes.

"Master Mao, I haven't seen you for two years, haven't you forgotten my skills? Not only do I know about your two little apprentices, but it's no coincidence that so much has happened to you in Gantian Town. Especially the cults that have emerged recently are very problematic. I don't know, Master Mao, are you also aware of it? ”

The new Divine Cult has vast magical powers, and all those who join the Divine Religion are like they have fallen into a demon, and they will do whatever it takes to maintain the Divine Cult. Whoever dares to make a statement that is unfavorable to the Divine Religion will be attacked by the masses.

Worried that the remarks at home would be heard by the religious madmen outside, after instructing Ah Hai to close the courtyard gate and the windows of the living room, Mao Xiaofang's expression became extremely serious, and he said solemnly: "This god cult is mysterious, and the origin is not very clear, and Ah Chu also asked me this question at the beginning. ”

"Ah Chu?"

It's about the junior brother, who has been a senior brother with Ah Chu for two years, Ah Hai can't understand that the junior brother has judged the teacher, so he often goes to the Divine Sect to persuade Ah Chu to come back.

But now that Ah Chu has no worries about food and clothing, as the leader of the Divine Sect, he has someone to serve him, and his life is comfortable, how can he be willing to come back to be a disciple and make cattle and horses for others?

Glancing at Ah Hai, who seemed to be a little excited, Li Mu, who knew something about Gantian Town before he came, continued to ask unmoved, "Oh, is it?" So what did Master Mao say at the beginning? ”

"I asked him at the beginning, what is the Tao? Ah Xiu, you answer! ”

Although Ah Xiu is a daughter and enters the door late, she is talented and intelligent, and she learns things quickly. In addition, he was willing to work hard, and Mao Xiaofang, who had a good face, didn't want to be embarrassed in front of Li Mu, so he threw out a question and asked Ah Xiu, who entered the door late, to answer.

"One yin and one yang is the way!"

"That's right! One yin and one yang are like Taijitu, there are black and white, the two aspects restrain each other, and they must fight each other to balance. Just like being a human being, there are two sides to balance between good and evil. If a person can control himself and release freely, then he can be regarded as a 'person'.

If the evil thoughts are all sucked away by external forces, and people have no evil thoughts, they will be unbalanced, and people will be equal to half of them. Just like animals, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish, and if the water is too tight, there will be no wisdom. ”

At the beginning, Mao Xiaofang hoped that his second disciple A Chu could understand, but he still did useless work.

Seeing Ah Hai's eyes widen and look stupid, Li Mu took Mao Xiaofang's words, and then said, "Master Mao, you are right. To explain in the medical Tao that I am good at, the reason why people are healthy and do not get sick is also because of the balance of yin and yang.

As long as one aspect of the yin and yang of the human body goes to the extreme, there will be big problems and diseases. Specifically, if a person's yang energy is too strong, it will cause the yang energy in the body to break down, so that the yin energy will also die. On the contrary, if a person's yin qi is strong, then the cold and dampness in the body are dominant, that is, the rigidity and softness are not harmonious, and the meridian qi and blood will decay and become extinct.

And this cult of gods will draw out the evil thoughts in the human body, that is, pull out the yin qi, creating a state of extreme yang. Those who have joined the Divine Cult seem to have become good gentlemen, but in fact they are terminally ill, and they will lose their lives sooner or later! ”

"Isn't that second senior brother very dangerous, I'm going to rescue the second senior brother!"

Even if the second senior brother doesn't like him very much, Ah Xiu, who has a good impression of the second senior brother, has always been unrequited in love with each other, and he can't hold it back anymore at this moment, and said boldly in public.

"Don't worry, let's go together tomorrow, the true face of this divine sect is not simple."
