Chapter 113: Crooked Ways
For three days, in the morning and afternoon, Bai Annie gave a thorough explanation of the history of Taoism and Maoshan Sect from ancient times to the present.
I really admire Bai Annie, this girl, when it comes to history class, she really looks like a teacher, boom, boom, non-stop, her mouth is not dry, her tongue is not dry, and she actually talks about the relationship between Taoist sects so intricately and clearly, and her head is Tao.
This Nizi is really not simple.
But what I admire more is the fat man.
According to the habit of the fat man, in such a boring history class, it would be good for him not to sleep for three days, but he was like a chicken blood, and he was full of energy in every class, sitting upright, sometimes looking at Bai Annie in a daze, sometimes listening carefully, sometimes holding his cheeks for contemplation, even if I talked to the fat man, he was scolded back by a word:
", don't bother me, listen to the class!"
I'll go, is this fat man transsexual?
After Bai Annie finished speaking, she asked like the aunt and teacher next door talking about ghosts:
"Do you have any questions?"
Of course, I have a lot of questions, but with the lesson of the last time, I sneaked a glance at the fat man, and at this time, it was almost time to eat, and if I asked questions again, the fat man would eat me again.
If you have any questions, save them for later, and ask Anne Bai again when you have a chance.
I shook my head.
Little Baiyang Bin, they also shook their heads knowingly.
Who knew that the fat man stood up and said to Anne Bai:
"Teacher Bai, I have a question I want to ask."
Ask?
Tell me uncle!
When did you speak so literati.
I heard Wen Jie laugh and say:
"Fatty, why do you fart Confucius, and you speak with a bit of gentleness."
"Hahahaha......"
A few of us burst into laughter.
The fat man's face turned green, but he was embarrassed to scold us.
Feign!
If it was usual, the fat man would have been scolded a long time ago.
The fat man pretended to say:
"We scholars must look like scholars, why are we so vulgar in our speech, I am ashamed of you!"
Then the fat man said to Anne Bai with a flattering face:
"Teacher Bai, what you said is so wonderful, I'm fascinated, I really want to hear more from you, I have a question I don't understand, I hope Teacher Bai explains."
Anne White is naturally happy to:
"Okay, Bao Renzhi, if you don't understand, you have to ask, Confucius said, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, is knowing, you have something you don't understand and can put it forward, it's good, you look at a few of you, don't you understand and don't say, do you really have no problem? Alas, what will you do in the future? How can there be attendance? In this regard, you have to learn from Bao Renzhi. ”
I really feel like a husband and wife are following me.
The fat man's dedication is to the detriment of Bai Annie.
Looking at the fat man again, with a smug face, it seems that among the seven of us in the future, he will be the most promising.
I tugged at the fat man's clothes and whispered:
"Fatty, I know you like Anne Bai, but you don't have to pretend like that, do you? You should stop the class when you listen to it, as for being so serious? ”
The fat man said disdainfully:
"You know a fart, you listen to knowledge when you listen to lectures, and I listen to love."
Love!
I almost vomited in the fat man's face with a mouthful of old blood.
It seems that that sentence is true, love can make people crazy, and it can also be enchanted.
After criticizing us, Anne Bai asked the fat man:
"Bao Renzhi, what's your problem?"
The fat man thought for a moment and said seriously:
"Teacher Bai, since the Maoshan Sect was founded by our ancestor Tao Hongjing, you have also been talking about the history of the Maoshan Sect, but why does the principal keep saying that we are the Maoshan Righteous Path, not the Maoshan Sect?"
Actually, this question is also a problem that bothers me.
Since I came to Maoshan Academy, the principal has always called our sect Maoshan Zhengdao, not Maoshan Sect, but according to Bai Annie, Maoshan Sect is the authentic sect, so why are we not Maoshan Sect?
I've also tried to think of a possible answer, which is the problem of the subset, the whole set, that I mentioned earlier:
Maoshan Zhengdao is a subset of the Maoshan sect.
In other words, the Maoshan Sect has other branches outside of our Maoshan Righteous Path.
Sure enough, Anne Bai's next answer did confirm my conjecture.
The Maoshan Sect not only includes our Maoshan Righteous Path, but also includes many branches, among them, there are many side sects and evil ways, under the banner of the Maoshan Sect, practicing evil arts, witchcraft, and endangering the world.
During the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court ordered Zhang Tianshi to be in charge of the "Three Mountains Fugong", and since then our Maoshan Sect has been classified into the Zhang Tianshi line, called the Zhengyi faction. However, the Maoshan sect is still an independent sect organization, and after the merger, it has been passed down in the mode of separate inheritance of small sects.
However, from that time on, the Maoshan sect began to diverge.
Many branches were separated from the Maoshan Sect, and at the beginning, they all adhered to the legacy of the ancestors, practiced the Maoshan technique, opposed good and evil, fought for life, maintained the order of the yin and yang worlds, and killed demons.
One of the more famous is the Nanpai Maoshan Mountain, the location of the Nanpai Maoshan is today's Luofu Mountain in Guangdong, its founder is Ge Hong, Ge Hong once also cultivated in Maoshan Mountain, and then returned to the alchemy in Luofu Mountain. A part of the Maoshan Taoist priests separated from the Maoshan Sect came to Luofu Mountain, took Ge Hong as the ancestor, and founded the Southern Maoshan Sect, and correspondingly, the Maoshan Sect was called the Northern Maoshan Sect.
Although they have the same sect and the same roots, the two factions both believe that they are the authentic sect of Maoshan, and they do not give in to each other, quarrel with each other, fight for many years, each has casualties, and has deep resentment.
With the development of society, the strength of Beimaoshan weakened, and Nanmaoshan was even more sluggish, gradually forgotten by history, and the Taoist priests of Maoshan in the south were nowhere to be found.
However, at this time, in the surrounding area of Maoshan, to be precise, there was a Wumen in the south of Maoshan that also called itself "Maoshan", and it was also written as "Maoshan", "Yuanshan" or "Maoshan" in the folk. However, their Taishang Laojun is different from our Taishang Laojun, our Taishang Laojun is Laozi Li Er, and the ancestor of their Kaipai is Li Laojun, who is respected as the "Master of Maoshan Law", also known as "Baizi Laojun".
The spells passed on by this Maoshan school generally follow the regular route, such as stopping bleeding, leveling sores, painting sheep, heron water, retreating, etc., most of which are similar to our Maoshan techniques. But the difference is some of the so-called "evil arts", such as "Jade Girl Joy God", that is, a kind of dream spell, as well as the method of "cutting off children and grandchildren", the method of "beautiful women stripping", and the often mentioned "soul transfer and shadow change" is the method in this door, and the attraction of wild beasts in the mountains and snake newts to govern people is also secretly circulated in this method.
You may not know what these evil arts are about, and we will explain them one by one in the future, but here I want to talk about the so-called "raising little ghosts", which is also the reason why their faction is regarded as evil magic.
Raising little ghosts is the "ghost raising technique" in our Maoshan technique, but because of the ancestor master, the first ban in Maoshan is the ghost raising technique. However, this faction has cultivated the little ghosts and nourished the little ghosts with their own blood, which has achieved their ulterior purpose.
The next thing to talk about is the "Maoshan School", note that it is the Maoshan School, not the Maoshan Sect, they are neither from the "Three Mao" nor from Li Laojun, but from the multiple small sects that evolved from the White Lotus Sect in the Qing Dynasty.
When it comes to the White Lotus Sect, it seems that they all think of witchcraft and rebellion, but during the Qing Dynasty, most of the White Lotus Sect had gone underground. It is also rare to come out and engage in political struggles, and a large part of it has been converted into ordinary beliefs. Among them, the "Qinglian Sect" is the most powerful branch of the spell, and the head of the sect has used the "Qimen Dunjia" in history, and is familiar with the change spell. Believers in the past generations will mostly use charms to turn water into mantras to treat ordinary people and retreat from evil, so they have a good reputation among the people. The best thing in the Qinglian Sect is the kung fu of séance and possession, of course, they call it "Divine Fist". There is only a bowl of clear water, burning sandalwood, drawing talismans and chanting spells on the water bowl, after eating water, there is a god possessed, and he can punch and make sticks, called "Shaolin God Fight". It is open to both men and women. But because the name of their sect was so eye-catching, the Qing government arrested them everywhere. So it was simply changed to "Maoshan Mountain", why? Because there was a leader in the history of the White Lotus Sect called "Mao Ziyuan", Mao Mao is the same, and it is implicitly in line with this meaning. Speaking of which, you should have some understanding.
To put it bluntly, these organizations are all crooked and evil ways under the banner of Maoshan, so in order to trace the origin and avoid those crooked ways from tarnishing the reputation of the Maoshan Sect, the Maoshan Sect was changed to the Maoshan Righteous Path.
