Chapter 130: Immeasurable Merit
Looking at the Taoist with a resentful expression on his face, and then at the two children who gobbled up porridge, Chai Tiannuo asked again:
"It's all Taoist inheritance, if you ask for help from the Heavenly Dao, you must still have food and clothing."
The Taoist shook his head vigorously:
"The true Taoist heirs will starve to death, and they will not bow to the evil ways of these priests who use their lives!"
"I remember that many ancient schools of Taoism have a tradition of using human beings as sacrifices."
Chai Tiannuo frowned, he had read a lot of related books, Taoism was actually a branch of ancient shamanism, and it had inherited a lot of bloody and barbaric customs.
"As you said, it is an ancient Taoist school, the wilderness has passed, the civilization is constantly burning, and those who are barbaric and bad should be eliminated!"
"The deceased master said that those who do not respect life and treat life as child's play, no matter how high-sounding their rhetoric is, is always heresy!"
Chai Tiannuo smiled and nodded, the Taoist is simple, and the words he says are also simple, but the truth is real!
Stretching out his hand and pointing to the idol behind him, Chai Tiannuo asked curiously:
"Daoist, which immortal is this worshipping, how is it a little, a little?"
After saying it several times, Chai Tiannuo didn't say the following words.
Although the Taoist temple is small, the statue of the god is lifelike, and the appearance is considerable, that is, a middle-aged woman with a rich state.
Wearing sackcloth and holding a medicine hoe, there is a bamboo basket behind him, and the straw sandals are all dirt, which is quite expressive, but there is no fairy spirit at all.
However, in Chai Tiannuo's eyes, this statue has an indescribable charm, and he has a warm feeling, as if soaking in a hot spring, which is so comfortable that people don't want to get up.
The Taoist drank dry rice porridge in a few sips, washed his hands and face with water, offered three sticks of incense, and then said seriously:
"This is Qianshan Niangniang, who has been incense in Ziyang City and surrounding villages and towns for 50 years, and is a well-known immortal in Ziyang!"
「…… How come I have never heard of the title of this immortal?"
Chai Tiannuo frowned, and thought hard about the Taoist classics he had read, and it was certain that there was absolutely no honorific title of Qianshan Niangniang.
"Naturally, there isn't."
The Taoist shook his head with a smile, bowed three times to the statue of God, and said seriously:
"Fifty years ago, plague ghosts were rampant in the Ziyang area, and countless people died."
"After two consecutive waves of aid Lang also died of illness, the imperial court sent a large army to besiege it, and it was not allowed to enter but not to leave, completely trapping Ziyang into a lonely city."
"Just when everyone thought that they were going to die, Qianshan Niangniang, who was a servant woman of the pharmacy grinding medicine, stepped forward and relied on ancient recipes to treat the people, and countless people were alive!"
"In the end, due to overwork, I fell off a cliff and died while collecting medicine."
"Seriously speaking, Niangniang is an ordinary person, so naturally it will not be recorded in the classics."
Looking at the smiling Taoist, Chai Tiannuo couldn't help but rub the corners of his forehead, this kind of immortal god who is not in the classics is not allowed to be believed in according to the laws of Dahua!
In layman's terms, this is the Yin Ancestral Temple, which is discovered by the imperial court, and it will definitely overturn the statue and burn the temple!
「…… To tell you the truth, I am not shocked by the immortals you believe in."
Chai Tiannuo shook his head with a bitter smile, the Taoist stopped laughing, shook his head very seriously, and said:
"Sir, we don't believe, but worship!"
"What is the difference between believing and offering?"
Chai Tiannuo frowned, the Taoist thought about it, and said softly:
"Master once said that belief is to ask for the blessing of the immortals, and to get it!"
"And the offering is to wish the fairy gods good luck and peace, and want to give!"
"The reason why we worship Qianshan Niangniang is that we hope that she will be nourished by incense in the other world and become an immortal, and a good person should have a good reward!"
Chai Tiannuo felt a monstrous wave surging in his heart, and the practice of this small Taoist temple was greatly shocked by him!
He never thought that someone would worship the immortals, not to get but to give, completely breaking his past cognition.
A good person should have a good reward, so he was deeply impressed!
Calm the waves in your heart,
Chai Tiannuo arched his hand:
"Daoist, which sect of Taoism do you belong to?"
"Master said that it should be the Benevolence Sect."
The idiot said with some hesitation, Chai Tiannuo blinked, and asked curiously:
"If it's a good sect, why don't you worship the Three Qings?"
"Well, Master said, our branch is a little different."
Scratching his head vigorously, the idiot said as he recalled:
"Master once said that the legendary immortal gods who punished evil and promoted good were probably scattered before the human emperor broke the path of heaven, and now those heavenly beings may not be the real immortals!"
"Our mission is to worship the goodness of the world, let them become immortals, and recreate the true fairyland of eternal happiness!"
Chai Tiannuo was shocked again, glad that he came to Ziyang City, the honest Taoist in front of him made him understand the truth that he had not understood before, what is man-made, even if it involves supreme existence!
Looking at the statue carefully, feeling the incomparably warm breath, Chai Tiannuo suddenly woke up, that is merit!
To have merit in the great world of the world, and to be worshiped by others is to make immeasurable merit!
"Daoist, thank you!"
A thank you, what you said is sincere, but the idiot is confused, why do you want to thank yourself, you should thank him, right?
"What are you going to do with this kid?"
Chai Tiannuo pointed to the boy with a big head and a small body, the Taoist didn't think about it, stroked the boy's head and said:
"Just like the master did back then, accept him as a disciple, as long as I live, I will not be able to miss his mouthful!"
"Who is this girl?"
Pointing at the female baby, Chai Tiannuo could see that she was a fatherly attachment to the Taoist, and couldn't help but let him lose his thoughts.
「…… My eldest disciple, I took it from her father, that bastard, who wants to exchange her for someone else's child."
Speaking of this, the Taoist's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and the girl gently leaned on the Taoist's arm with the rice bowl, but there was a smile on her face.
Chai Tiannuo sighed, looked at the two children with attached eyes, and understood that for them, the master who saved them was the real father!
"Rest assured, it will not be long before great changes will come, and the suffering will pass."
"Ziyang City is the land of Dahua after all, how can it be allowed to be occupied and raging by demons all the time!"
Chai Tiannuo got up, shook his head, shook his hand, and the five-foot Ming Hong appeared in his hand, and he decided not to waste time anymore.
The city is full of demons, and killing is it!
How to find yourself in the water, blending into the sea?
Kill him in the dark, look at this heavenly way, what ability do you have to control yourself!
Putting down a bag of pearl rice, Chai Tiannuo grinned at the Taoist:
"Daoist, maybe tell me the name?"
"The common surname is Zhang, Master and I use the title of Ziyang City as the Dao number, and Mr. calls me Ziyang Dao people."
Ziyang Dao is the head of the people, Chai Tiannuo nodded:
"See you again!"
Whoosh~, the breeze rose, Chai Tiannuo disappeared in an instant, the girl took the hand of the Ziyang Daoist, and asked in surprise:
"Master, is Sir an immortal?"
"I don't know, but for us, he is an immortal who saves the suffering!"
The reason why Ming Hong was taken out was because Chai Tiannuo sensed that there was a magician passing by the alley, and this kind of undisguised arrogance could only be done by the priesthood of Cangtian Dao.
Covering his face with a strip of cloth, Chai Tiannuo jumped over lightly.
