Chapter 128: Initiation?
"Those who are in the beginning have no heaven and earth, but they are very light and dark, bright and wise, dark and stupid, and all the movements and stillness are all contrary to each other. Those in the middle of the world, the darkness invades the light, the emotions are arbitrary, the light comes into the dark, the quality is passed, the great tribulation is disgusted with the body, the fire house is willing to ask for renunciation, work hard to save the nature, the holy religion is true, that is, it is true, who hears and obeys orders? Things must be discerned and liberated. In the future, after the education is completed, the truth and delusion return to the root, the light is attributed to the great light, and the darkness is also returned to the dark, and the two sects are restored, and the two are returned. ”
In the Dragon Mother Temple in Wuzhou, Lingnan, the head of the sect, Huang Mojun, sat in the high incense altar and slowly preached the teachings of Mingjiao, with a solemn and solemn expression, the green smoke was misty, with a mysterious color, and the believers under the altar listened to it like crazy, and it was extremely pious.
The Ming religion, that is, Manichaeism, also known as Muniism or Maniism, originated from Persia and was founded by the Persian Mani.
Manichaeism worships the "Four Dignitys", namely the Great God, the Light of God, the Power of God, and the Wisdom of God.
Light refers to the sun and moon, power refers to the messenger, and wisdom refers to the cult of God.
Its fundamental doctrine is the "Theory of Two Sects and Three Worlds", the so-called "Two Sects" are light and darkness, and the so-called "Three Worlds" refers to the primary, middle and posterior, that is, the past, present and future.
Manichaeism holds that before the creation of heaven and earth, light and darkness, good and evil, were separated, two kingdoms. After the establishment of the middle heaven and earth, the darkness invaded the light, and the great god led the messenger to fight the darkness, and the messenger of the good mother created the original people to participate in the battle. Later, the original people were defeated and thrown into the abyss by darkness. In the end, the great god sent the prophet Mani, the founder of Manichaeism, to save the world, and finally the light will surely triumph over the darkness and the world will be liberated.
The main precepts of Manichaeism are the "Three Seals and Ten Commandments", the so-called "three seals" are the mouth seals, hand seals and chest seals, and the mouth seals require Manichaean followers not to eat wine and meat and not to tell lies; Hand seal is a requirement not to do bad things; Finally, the chest seal asks for abstinence from obscenity.
The so-called "Ten Commandments" are not to worship idols, not to lie, not to be greedy, not to kill, not to commit adultery, not to steal, not to deceive, not to practice evil ways and witchcraft, not to be half-hearted, and not to fall.
Manichaeism only worships the sun and the moon, does not do anything to the gods and Buddhas, and its teachings govern themselves very strictly, treat others extremely forgivingly, worship themselves very much, use money very fairly, advocate mutual assistance, and are quite popular with the people, especially the poor people, which is extremely demagogic.
After Li Sanjian probably understood the teachings of Mingjiao, he secretly shook his head in his heart, advocating light and spitting on darkness, this is the idea of ordinary people, and the same is true of Li Sanjian, who in the world does not like light? In addition, some things affected Li Sanjian, which made Li Sanjian have a lot of good feelings towards Mingjiao.
But the Manichaean precepts such as not eating wine and meat, abstaining from desires, etc., made Li Sanjian secretly disgusted, which has violated the most basic needs of a person, as a normal person, where is there no such requirements?
If you don't eat wine and meat and abstain from desires, you might as well be a monk... Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, besides, according to Li Sanjian's understanding, the monks of the Song Dynasty can still get married, so being a monk and Taoist priest is much more comfortable than believing in Manichaeism.
The most important thing is that Buddhism and Taoism are recognized by the imperial court and are allowed to preach. But what is Manichaeism all about? What did the court think of Manichaeism? And so on, Li Sanjian doesn't understand at all, in this case, why does Li Sanjian believe in Manichaeism?
"What are you thinking? Miss Cai? Li Sanjian smiled at Chen Ke'er in the distance, and asked Cai Rongxue in a low voice.
After entering the Dragon Mother Temple, Chen Keer found Li Sanjian, but because the sect leader was preaching, he only nodded to Li Sanjian, and did not come to talk to Li Sanjian, so Li Sanjian still didn't know why Chen Keren appeared here, and he was dressed as a member of the Ming Sect.
"No... Didn't think about anything. Cai Rongxue hurriedly replied when she heard this.
The teachings of Mingjiao are extremely demagogic, even Cai Rongxue can listen to them, Li Sanjian called her three times in a row before she reacted.
"Didn't think anything? I didn't think about anything, so why are you panicking? Li Sanjian then asked.
"Where am I panicking?" Cai Rongxue became more and more panicked when she heard this, and lowered her head and said.
Although Cai Rongxue is the daughter of a large family, but her life experience is extremely pitiful, her father was relegated to Lingnan because of the court battle, and was degraded to death in Lingnan, her mother also died of illness, Cai Rongxue was lonely, helpless, and lived in the Cai clan's family, so her life experience can be said to be extremely bleak.
At this time, Manichaeism preached no greed, no killing, no adultery, no theft, no fraud, and advocated mutual assistance, which made Cai Rongxue think of the past, think of her poor mother, and think of her bleak fate, which touched the pain in Cai Rongxue's heart, and she couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and couldn't help but be attracted by Manichaeism.
"This teaching is nothing more than that, Miss Cai is like this, it's not worth it, right?" Li Sanjian then smiled at Cai Rongxue and smiled.
The Yellow Demon Lord preached on the altar, and there was silence under the altar, except for Li Sanjian.
Li Sanjian and Cai Rongxue whispered, which immediately attracted the attention of Huang Mojun, so Huang Mojun glanced at Li Sanjian and continued to preach.
"The head of the church preaches, and there is no noise." Seeing this, a white-clothed sect member stood up and shouted at Li Sanjian, and all the believers turned their heads to look at Li Sanjian and Cai Rongxue when they heard this.
"Look, it's all your fault, don't say it... Cai Rongxue's pretty face under the tulle suddenly turned red, and she gently pushed Li Sanjian and said angrily.
"Hehe" Li Sanjian suddenly stood up, glanced at Huang Mojun and Chen Ke'er, and then said to Cai Rongxue: "It's not too early, how about I leave now?" ”
Li Sanjian is more and more disinterested, it's boring, so it's better to go back to the inn to review and study his homework, as for the reason why Chen Ke'er appeared here, it should be bewitched by Manichaeism, Li Sanjian secretly thought in his heart, in this way, let her go, I can't control it, and I have no reason to care about her.

"You... You go back first ... I'd like to stay a little longer. Cai Rongxue whispered to Li Sanjian.
"So, Xiaosheng takes his leave." Li Sanjian nodded, and after that, Li Sanjian turned around and walked out of the temple gate, planning to go back to the inn.
Li Sanjian had no reason to care about Chen Keer's affairs, and he couldn't persuade Cai Rongxue.
What does it have to do with them that they are willingly seduced by Manichaeism?
It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let them go, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.
"Li Hanren, go slowly, hold a banquet later to wash the dust for Brother Hanren, and let Brother Tai do his best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, how about it?" Li Sanjian was about to leave, so Lu Shisang called Li Sanjian.
。。。。。。。。
Lu Shisang found a hotel in Wuzhou City, bought a table of wine and food, and invited Li Sanjian to a banquet, Chen Keer and Cai Rongxue's two daughters were all accompanied, and there were also people with Chen Keer.
After being introduced, Li Sanjian finally remembered this person, this person turned out to be the person who had a conflict with himself and the second year of high school at the ferry, this person's surname is Fang Thirteen, and he is also a person who believes in Manichaeism, and is also a small leader in Manichaeism.
Li Sanjian had already attracted the attention of the head of the Manichaean sect in Wuzhou, Huang Mojun, but he did not come, saying that Li Sanjian was such a small person, and it was not worth being accompanied by Huang Mojun personally.
However, a few years later, it was because of Li Sanjian that Manichaeism was almost extinct in Middle-earth, which the Yellow Demon Lord and the Manichaean people never expected.
This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.
Fang 13 was silent, rarely spoke, and looked a little gloomy and compassionate, Li Sanjian didn't like this person very much, but liked the unusually cool Lu Shinang.
"Brother Han Ren, what are your plans for the future?" After the five flavors of the dish and the three rounds of wine, Lu Shisang asked.
"Intended?" Li Sanjian replied when he heard this: "The plan is to raise it again next year." ”
"Brother Han Ren, is this the reason for this trip to Lingnan at this time?" Lu Shisang asked again.
"Exactly." Li Sanjian nodded and said, "Brother Tai doesn't plan to raise it again next year?" ”
Like Li Sanjian, Lu Shisang also failed the imperial examination, and then returned to his hometown, but fortunately, Lu Shinang's family was relatively well-off, so it did not affect his livelihood.
"Hey... Lu Shisang picked up a glass of wine and sighed: "This is already my second time, and I will do it again next year?" If you lift it again, will you definitely be able to enter the department? I don't want to go down for the third time. ”
"There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart." Li Sanjian persuaded: "Why is Brother Tai so decadent? Anything in this world, as long as you do it with your heart, you will definitely achieve your goal. ”
"Fei Ye" Fang 13 suddenly said at this time: "At present, the court is dominated by powerful ministers, the monarch is faint and the ministers, and the traitorous people are high above the temple, but the upright people are flowing in the countryside, and the lives of the people are not as good as day by day, Li Hanren is so talented, and he has heard of it a little, but isn't Li Hanren also the first?" Even if you can take the imperial examination, it is difficult to do anything in the current situation. ”
"What Brother Fang said is very true." Lu Shisang also nodded and said, "With such a rotten court, why do we work for it?" Do you have to enter Taixue, take the top prize, seek fame, ascend to the official career, and rank among the ordinary thieves to be considered the right way? Besides, can't you find a place to live? ”
"What do you mean..." Li Sanjian finally understood the purpose of Master Lu's banquet and Fang Shisan's accompaniment at this time, did they come to persuade him to join the church?
"A man should go through hardships and be unyielding, and stay here to do an earth-shattering and famous feat, which is the true nature of a manly man." Fang 13 then said: "The road is not good, take the floating pole in the sea, and seek the wilderness if you lose your courtesy, Li Hanren, do you understand?" ”
"Understood." Li Sanjian got up and arched his hand and said: "Thank you two brothers for your love, but you can be an ordinary man in the next place, and you don't have a grand ambition, just ask your mother to be healthy and healthy, I'm sorry, the two brothers, I will say goodbye." ”
Li Sanjian said that, he left the hotel as if he was fleeing, and even Chen Keer didn't call Li Sanjian to stop.
The rest of the people looked at each other, not knowing what was happening.
Everyone was talking about it, but one sentence was like stepping on Li Sanjian's cat's tail, making Li Sanjian run away...
Hurry up and stay away from them, Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, if he can't make a full house, it will be a big deal.
