Section 229: The three Mao brothers
Wu Feng didn't speak, and made a posture of listening to his ears, his eyes staring at the white-haired old man. Baidu search 56 book library,
The white-haired old man groaned slightly, and finally opened the conversation, he said slowly: "Many years ago, there was a person named Mao Ying in the Xianyang realm of Shaanxi, who went to Hengshan to cultivate at the age of nineteen, and after returning home to visit his parents at the age of forty-nine, he came to Juqu Mountain in Jiangsu Province to concentrate on cultivation. He made work at sunrise and returned at sunset, boiled medicine and alchemy, studied Taoist scriptures, cured diseases for the local people in Maoshan, and accumulated virtues for good deeds, which was quite loved by the township. Finally one day, people suddenly couldn't see this old Taoist called Mao Ying anymore, and thought that he had completed his merits and became immortals. Mao Ying also has two younger brothers, one is called Mao Gu and the other is called Mao Zhen. Originally, they were all people in the officialdom, before Mao Ying disappeared, they heard that the eldest brother Mao Ying had achieved great success in cultivating, and the officialdom career of the two was not satisfactory at that time, so they traveled thousands of miles to Juqu Mountain, followed the eldest brother Mao Ying to practice Taoism, and together treated the people and rescued the poor. In order to commemorate the merits of the three Mao brothers, people changed Juqu Mountain to "Sanmao Mountain", referred to as "Maoshan Mountain".
Speaking of this, the white-haired old man suddenly paused, looked at Wu Feng on the side, and asked lightly, "Now you know the origin of Maoshan lineage, right?" ”
Wu Feng nodded, but he was still a little dazed, so he asked: "Old man, listening to what you said, the emotional Maoshan lineage was created by the three Mao brothers, so the three of them must have also accepted a lot of apprentices, so that the Maoshan lineage can be carried forward and passed down to this day." ”
"At that time, the three Mao brothers were very famous, and naturally there were many disciples, but these apprentices only learned a little bit from the three of them, and they don't know what they have become like now." The white-haired old man said regretfully.
Wu Feng looked at the white-haired old man's expression, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he opened his mouth, but still didn't say a word.
Both of them were silent for a while, and the white-haired old man suddenly asked again: "Young man, do you believe that the three Mao brothers have become immortals?" ”
Wu Feng touched his head, thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "Who knows about this, I think that since the three brothers of the Mao family have the ability to establish the Maoshan lineage, it must be so profound that the Taoism is unimaginably profound, and it is really possible to become immortals." But according to me, there are no gods and ghosts in this world, if there are really immortals, they should save the people between fire and water, the world is in chaos now, there are wars everywhere, and many people will die every day, why is there no god in charge? ”
Hearing Wu Feng say this, the white-haired old man suddenly laughed loudly, and the white hair on his body trembled again, he touched Wu Feng's head, and said loudly: "The cultivators in this world are all for the purpose of becoming immortals, but they have not seen it thoroughly as you as a hairy boy, you are right, the three brothers of the Mao family did not become immortals, but none of them really died." ”
Wu Feng was stunned for a moment, stood up suddenly, looked at the white-haired old man with an incredible look, and asked in a trembling voice, "You...... What do you mean by that? ”
