Chapter 17: Foreign Monks
This must have been tempered by countless ups and downs in the world and countless kinds of things.
Thinking like this, Tao Xiaowu smiled dumbly and said, "It's the abruptness of the poor road." ”
The Taoist hurriedly said, "Where are my two unsuccessful disciples......
He glared at the two unsuccessful disciples again.
He had already seen that the black-robed Taoist in front of him had a profound cultivation and extraordinary bearing, which must be extraordinary and extraordinary, so he had a heart of fellowship.
At the moment, the two sides exchanged their names and surnames, and it turned out that this Li Yanzhen's master was called Mu Yuping, who ran this Yizhuang, doing some, well, parking corpses, and receiving the business of chasing corpses and Taoists.
But as Tao Xiaowu expected just now, this corpse chasing business is now a mature industry.
The people of the world return to their roots and re-enter the soil for burial.
If you die of illness in the middle of the road, or die in a foreign country for various reasons, you must pay attention to returning to your hometown for burial, so the body cannot be cremated.
As for transporting the coffin back to the hometown, etc., the consumption is too great, and it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Therefore, there is a corpse chase industry came into being, which can be described as cheap and good, thoughtful service, in this world, has flourished for hundreds of thousands of years, can be described as a quite mature industry.
Although Tao Xiaowu had already guessed, but after figuring out this, he still couldn't help but have an indescribable sense of absurdity.
As for this, isn't this Li Yanzhen a disciple of the concept of impermanence? Why do you stay in Yizhuang...... Tao Xiaowu is not surprised.
Not all Taoists will stay in Taoist temples.
Those who strictly abide by the Gongguan system are Quanzhen disciples.
In the original world, the Daomen organization was too tight, and they instigated rebellion several times, causing chaos.
won the suspicion of those in power, and supported Buddhism all the way to suppress it.
In order to survive, Daomen also had to make changes, self-castration, abandon the organization, and take the upper route.
Until the time of the Song and Yuan dynasties, many new Taoist schools arose, and a hundred flowers bloomed.
Just like the whole truth, imitate Buddhism for transformation, have an organization, and establish a religious order.
As for Zhengyi, it is even more mixed, although after transformation, the three mountains are one, and they are barely pinched together. However, it cannot be compared with the whole truth!
In this world, the situation is similar.
In short, this Mu Yuping invited Tao Xiaowu into the backyard to serve tea.
Tao Xiaowu found that there is a world in this backyard, as well as a Taoist hall, and a door couplet: "Heaven and earth are eternal, and life is impermanent." ”
His heart suddenly moved, and he smiled and said, "Senior Brother Mu turned out to be from the concept of impermanence, and everyone is not an outsider!"
Saying this, he stretched out his hand and flicked it, and a piece of rune paper appeared in his hand, turned into flames, and burned in his hand for a long time.
"It's the Sun True Fire Talisman!"
This Mu Yuping glanced at it, immediately recognized it, and said happily: "It turns out that it is really my own family, but I don't know who the Lingshi is?"
This time, it was Tao Xiaowu's turn to be embarrassed, originally it was just a whim, wanting to take advantage of Li Yanzhen and let him call two sentences to his uncle, but he didn't think to ask about his teacher's origin.
What does this make Tao Xiaowu say?
racked his brains for a while, thinking about how to prevaricate and mix up. But at this moment, listening to the explosion outside, it caused Mu Yuping's master and apprentice to change color.
"It's coming!"
Tao Xiaowu suddenly understood in his heart that the so-called came, naturally the enemy came.
I was relieved in my heart, I came just in time, and I helped myself out of the siege.
At the moment, he pretended to be indignant and shouted: "Who is so bold to come to my senior brother's house to make trouble, let me go and see!"
So saying, he walked forward.
"Alas, junior brother......" This Mu Yuping subconsciously recognized Tao Xiaowu, the junior brother, and hurriedly followed out.
I saw a few old haired, high noses and deep eyes, red hair and blue eyes, wearing black robes, under the leadership of several evil and evil Chinese, kicking open the door and walking in.
Just looking at the coffins erected on benches in the hall, and the zombies standing against the wall, they all changed color slightly: "Desecrate corpses, play with souls." This is the devil's work!"
And Tao Xiaowu was also slightly surprised, and asked, "Senior brother, how can you make a feud with these foreign monks?"
Mu Yuping was also a little surprised: "No, I have some business conflicts with Daoists over there in Renshan. That's why I misidentified these two lands.
But I don't know these foreign monks, so I don't know what they are doing......
But these foreign monks are coming, there will definitely be no good thing!"
Tao Xiaowu nodded slightly, and he could already hear a foreign monk say in a stiff and awkward official voice: "You heretics, why do you want to desecrate the corpses of these people."
And turn them into necromancy? Don't you know that this is not allowed by the Father of Light?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, we are here to drive out the corpses and suffer what are you doing, if you want to find fault and cause trouble, just come!"
That Mu Yuping hadn't spoken yet, and his eldest disciple, Huang Yanming, had already jumped out angrily and said with a sneer.
These foreign monks were not angry, but a few interpreters who followed them were angry: "Mr. Henry is telling you with the doctrine of the Bright Father, you indigenous wizards dare to ...... like this."
Then Li Yanzhen also said angrily: "We have been driving corpses for hundreds of years, and we don't care about you people's, dogs take mice." ”
At a disagreement, both sides scolded, and they were about to copy the guy and fight.
Only Tao Xiaowu came to his senses: "Senior brother, these foreign monks seem to have come to smash the field, maybe they will also open a branch here......"
Tao Xiaowu's expectation was not bad, these clergy were all newcomers to Gaobo Town, and they were going to rebuild the church here and educate the stubborn indigenous people here.
In this case, if you want to snatch faith from these indigenous sorcerers and become the loyal lamb of the Bright Father, you must first cut down the mountains and destroy the temple and defeat these native, evil and ignorant sorcerers.
So, of course, the first one came to this Yizhuang!
Mu Yuping's face changed slightly, and he became a little jealous.
Although he is not afraid of these foreign monks in front of him, the foreigners are powerful, and even the government obeys them. If you get into trouble with these foreign monks, I'm afraid you will suffer in the end......
This Mu Yuping is by no means unfounded, this kind of thing has happened many times.
In the original world, the so-called famous ministers who had shaved their heads and destroyed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and recreated the situation of Zhongxing.
In the end, he was disgraced on the Tianjin teaching plan, and finally almost made a disrepute, "ashamed of the outside and guilty of the gods", and finally died of depression.
Even a character like shaving his head is like this in the face of foreign monks, and it is needless to say how other officials grovel in front of foreigners.
Therefore, it is better to say that things are not big, but if they are big, they will suffer a loss.
I was a little indecisive for a while!
