Chapter 1,109: Encrypted call with Wusheng Old Mother
No birth mother, no home.
When future generations mention these eight words, the first thing they think of is the White Lotus Sect.
But in fact, the belief in the Innocent Mother originated from Luo Jiao. Compared with the long-established White Lotus Sect, Luo Jiao has a history of only fifty years and was a sect that was only born during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty.
However, from the Jiajing to the Wanli years, the Luo religion developed rapidly. It was based on the canal canal construction, with southern Zhili and Zhejiang as its main bases. It had many believers and aggressively recruited people, including Hui merchants along the coast. Many believed in Wusheng Laomu.
This speed aroused the vigilance of all parties. Buddhism said that although it is not a white lotus, it is almost more harmful than the white lotus. The Ming court believed that it "all taboos the name of white lotus and practices the teaching of white lotus." Therefore, from the fourth year of Wanli period, Beginning in the 16th year, Luo Jiao was completely banned and all Luo Jiao classics were destroyed. The religion was demoted as an "evil cult", and Wusheng Laomu became an "evil god".
Then the prophecy came true.
Luo Jiao, which was demoted as a cult, really merged with the White Lotus Sect. The Inanimate Mother came to replace Maitreya Buddha and became the most popular belief in the White Lotus Sect. By the Qing Dynasty, all believers served the Inanimate Mother, such as Sakyamuni. , Maitreya Buddha, and Deng Deng Buddha all became the subordinates of Wusheng Laomu.
Just as Zhao Gongming went from a fierce ghost to a god of plague and finally became a god of wealth, there are only many changes in Chinese gods. The final version of the Wusheng Laomu is very awesome. She has no birth and no death, creating the yin and yang of the world. The yin and yang correspond to Fuxi and Nuwa. After their union, Ninety-six billion original spirits were born and sent to the east. However, these original spirits lost their nature in the world of mortals and could not return. The old mother could not bear it, so she sent gods and Buddhas to come down to earth and lead their children back to heaven, that is, Vacuum hometown.
Therefore, she is not only the God of creation, but also the savior. Sakyamuni and Supreme Laojun were all sent by the Inanimate Mother. Taoism and Buddhism became her little disciples, but she was able to gain universal belief. According to the analysis of later generations , because the father's strictness and mother's kindness are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the attachment and admiration for the loving mother are reflected in religious beliefs...
They were all born from their mothers, so naturally they have to believe in her.
Of course, in this era, Wusheng Laomu is still a new sacrificial belief that can walk in the sun.
Li Yan remembered that he had just woken up and when Xiaoqian was riding on him, the two scholars in charge of him, Zhang Huanhe, were talking to each other and mentioned that "the Wusheng old mother is here" because there are followers of Luo Jiao widely distributed in the southeast region. , there is nothing taboo about it, just like going to a Taoist temple to offer sacrifices or worship the Dragon King or the land.
"Will the Infernal Mother have any trouble with the White Lotus Church?"
Although Lu Bing himself told the story of the Wusheng Old Mother, he did not believe that there was any connection between the two sects in the south and the north, which were not related to each other.
However, as a Jinyiwei, he still had a way to verify it: "Doctor Li, I have an idea. You might as well collect treasure scrolls that promote the Inanimate Mother, send them to Wujue Cave, and burn them in front of those snake monsters to see how they react. ..."
After the snake demon lost its inner elixir, it was in its weakest period and could not hide its true emotions. Li Yan agreed: "Captain Lu's move is simple and clear and can be verified."
Lu Bing looked at Zhu Si and said, "Before you do this, communicate with Mr. Tao. Wujue Cave is a friend, not an enemy. Don't misunderstand!"
"Please don't worry, Commander!"
Zhu Si accepted the order, bowed and left, spread his legs, and went to do it quickly.
Li Yan said: "I have heard about Corporal Li Xian, the governor of Lu, for a long time. What I have seen now is that his reputation is well-deserved."
Lu Bing smiled and said: "What is a corporal? In my opinion, they are all capable people. Even the snake demon is capable, so he should be respected!"
He had the "Qiongxiang Pill" and had normal contact with Zhu Si. Most of his previous fear was gone and he returned to his usual state. Seeing that the alchemy came to an end, he said, "I wonder if there is wine in Dr. Li's house. How about we have a drink?"
Li Yan said: "I haven't prepared any at home. I'll ask someone to help buy some."
Lu Bing originally wanted to build a relationship, but he felt a little embarrassed when he heard this: "It's no need to bother..."
Halfway through his words, his eyes suddenly widened, and he saw an old man covered in tendons jumping out from the ground: "What do you want, Your Majesty?"
Li Yan simply wrote a menu and handed over a money bag: "Go to Zui Chunfeng in the east of the city, order some wine and food, and send two pots of Jade Liuxiang over. Thank you very much.
"
"Hey, you're welcome!"
The old man with tendon meat took it, got into the ground, and disappeared without a trace, his expression was quite happy.
Lu Bing felt surprised, but also took it for granted: "This...is this the God of the Earth?"
Li Yandao: "The righteous god of the land wants to respond to his faith and protect Hangzhou. This is an evil land condensed by filthy beliefs. Then as the filth is removed, his self-personality will disappear and he will return to the body of the righteous god. He hopes to do it at the last moment."
Some things..."
Only then did Lu Bing realize that he had just misunderstood. This person did not drive the gods at will, but sighed: "So running errands is okay? I didn't expect the gods to be like this!"
Li Yan said: "All living beings in the world have seven emotions, six desires, and all kinds of troubles. Compared with mortals, gods live forever and have endless happiness, but they also have to survive three disasters and nine tribulations. It is not surprising that they have such aspirations."
Lu Bing nodded unconsciously: "Having said that, I feel much better. Gods also have troubles. What does it matter if we mortals have troubles? Haha!"
Hearing this optimistic man laugh, Li Yan also smiled slightly.
And in just a few moments, Xie Di Di had already emerged, holding Zui Chunfeng's food box in both hands. He was worthy of being the God of the Earth. Suo Chao could only feel ashamed when he saw it.
Li Yan called the leader of the Jinyi Guards, a local evil spirit, into the hall: "Let's have a meal together."
The three of them took their seats. The hungriest one was naturally Lu Bing, who couldn't wait to eat the delicacies. Xie Di Di also ate with great enthusiasm.
Li Yan picked up a few chopsticks slowly but was not interested.
Since cultivating the golden elixir path, his inner and outer realms have become increasingly pure. For him, the delicacies he eats are filled with impurities, almost in a semi-individual state.
In a sense, as he continues to practice, he will be like the Dragon Girl, and his requirements will become higher and higher. He must eat spiritual food. It is best to participate in the peach feast and enjoy the spiritual treasures of heaven and earth.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course Lu Bing did not have this trouble. Although his body fragrance overwhelmed the aroma of the wine, he still drank heavily, wiped his mouth suddenly, and made a very pleasant sound:
"Come back to life..."
After he was satisfied, he poured wine again, raised the glass with both hands and said, "Miracle Doctor Li, I respect you and I will never thank you for your kindness!"
Li Yan raised his glass.
Lu Bing saw that this person was not very interested in food and drinks. After toasting to express his attitude, he no longer disliked him and clinked glasses with Xie Di Di. The drink was quite enjoyable.
Until a strange fragrance filled the air from the governor's body again.
Compared with the previous raging, the strange fragrance this time started a contest with the Qiongxiang Dan Qi smeared on the body surface.
A breath represents the longing for immortality of Jindan Dao!
A breath represents the eternal temptation of twisted greed!
Lu Bing, who couldn't smell the smell, knew nothing until the corner of his eye flashed. Li Yan's golden thread flew out, wrapped around him instantly, penetrated through the cuffs, and crawled like a vine.
He suddenly realized that the smell was coming again, and his body froze, motionless.
The two sides were really not far apart, and it was impossible not to be alert in my heart, what if the people in front of me were like those...
But Lu Bing soon stopped worrying.
Because what he saw on Li Yan's face was not greed and fanaticism, but frowning disappointment: "It's definitely a living creature. I'm afraid I couldn't hold it back. I wanted to test it, but when I found something was wrong, I immediately pulled back."
The previous guess was verified, which was undoubtedly a big improvement, but even though the reaction was extremely fast, Jinsi was still a beat slower.
There was only a moment of intertwining, and he clearly felt that the skin under Lu Bing's robe squirmed, and then disappeared, and the strange fragrance was suppressed by the smell of Qiongxiang Dan.
The key is that the spirituality is much stronger than he expected, and it is quite difficult to deal with!
Lu Bing breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then felt uncomfortable: "So, is there really a monster hidden in my body?"
Li Yan's eyes flashed and he replied: "That's true, but this monster probably doesn't have the ability to fight. It can only hide its head and tail. The Qiongxiang Pill can also suppress the strange fragrance it emits, so it's no longer a worry.
..."
Lu Bing gritted his teeth: "That's good. At least the disease has been confirmed, and you won't be in the position of being bitten by others. Next, you have to find a way to get it out!"
Li Yan thought of the scene where Hua Tuo told Cao Cao to open his head, and the thought of a laparotomy also flashed across his mind. He was still somewhat confident about it.
But we must first ensure the safety of the patient before discussing the treatment effect. Otherwise, cremation is the most effective way to solve all diseases, and it will never be repeated.
Without understanding the true fighting power of this spiritual creature, it is still risky, and it is easy to force the opponent to die and drag Lu Bing to be buried with him.
After giving up on the surgical plan, Li Yan pondered for a moment, took out the pen and paper he had just used to write about the food and drinks, wrote a sentence on it, and waved it in front of Xie Tu Di: "Did you feel something just now?"
Xie Di Di didn't know what happened, and he didn't understand why he had to write it down. He shook his head in confusion and took the opportunity to take a few more bites of food.
Just as Lu Bing was about to speak, he saw Li Yan making a shushing gesture and pointing at his body: "Continue eating, listen carefully, and don't make any noise. I can understand."
Lu Bing's expression suddenly changed, and he slowly said, "Can the monster hear what we are saying now and report it to Mother Wu Sheng? This way we won't be discovered?"
Li Yan wrote: "This monster's spirituality is much stronger than I originally expected. Fortunately, it cannot control your body. Analyzing the external situation, it is most likely to rely on smell, followed by hearing, vision and touch.
If you have it, if you really have it, we won’t be able to guard against it.”
Lu Bing nodded, indicating that he understood.
Li Yan silently changed a piece of paper and wrote down the question about the evil land: "In the past, the earth mountain god in Suzhou was also immune to this strange fragrance. As far as you know, is there any method that can make other living beings deeply affected? The god
Only those who are directly immune?"
Small gods like the Mountain God and Earth are not necessarily much more powerful than ordinary people, and the big demons can even control them fiercely, so such a stark difference is undoubtedly a thought-provoking point.
Xie Di Di was also stunned by the question. After thinking about it again and again, he finally shook his head and expressed that he could not help.
Lu Bing looked at the question and suddenly raised his glass: "Miracle Doctor Li, let me respect you again!"
At the same time, he said while toasting: "Is it related to the old gods and the new gods? These mountain gods and lands are the old gods, and the lifeless old mother is the new god. The spells of the latter cannot be effective on the former?"
Li Yan frowned slightly. To be honest, in his heart, there was a world of difference between the land of the Wusheng Old Mother and the Mountain God. The spells of the Wusheng Old Mother were ineffective against the Mountain God's land, which was simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.
But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed influenced by the thinking of later generations. Judging from this era alone, Wusheng Old Mother is still a newbie. It seems reasonable. She said: "Fuck! Don't bother with those annoying things. Wait for Wu Jue first."
Let’s verify the hole..."
The verification came quickly, and within three hours, Zhu Si returned again.
But this time, before he reached the door, he was intercepted by Xie Tu Di and saw Li Yan's instructions.
After understanding this, Zhu Si wrote a letter outside, hid it in his sleeve, and walked into the house: "Governor, sir, I'm back. There is nothing unusual about the snake demon in Wujue Cave. It seems to have nothing to do with belief in sacrifices.
Investigate it from other aspects."
While speaking, he took out the letter from his sleeve and unfolded it silently. The above is the real situation: "The governor's method was right. I burned the treasure scroll, and the group of snake monsters immediately cried and fought, looking like they wanted to fight me desperately.
It looks like they believed in the Wusheng Old Mother and were willing to give up their inner elixirs when they wanted to return to their vacuum hometown, but their king was so angry that they completely turned them back to their original form!"
Lu Bing sighed deliberately: "This line is broken again. Let's wait until the third child wakes up and ask them what happened on the official road outside Suzhou City."
In fact, his eyes showed murderous intent, and he said quietly: "I didn't expect it was really Luo Jiao. This kind of evil cult must be destroyed!"
With just one silent word, Luo Jiao was labeled as a cult. This was definitely not an angry word, but something that Lu Bing, who had more power than ten thousand people, could completely accomplish.
Zhu Si opened his mouth and said: "The third brother is not awake yet, but according to the doctor's pulse diagnosis, the pulse is getting stronger and stronger. There should be no problem."
They will wake up in a few days. The second brother and the twelfth brother are with them. Once they receive the news, they will come back and inform us immediately."
Opening the letter, I saw what was written at the back: "Second brother, twelfth brother and others, with their troops, are already investigating the Luo Jiao personnel in Suzhou. They only need an order to kill all these thieves!"
Lu Bing was looking forward to it and made a pun: "Okay! Okay! I've been waiting for that moment to come!"
When the two people were talking on an encrypted phone call, Li Yan's eyes were empty, and his sixth sense was running on Lu Bing.
Under this supersensory mental observation, he faintly "saw" two small handprints emerging from both sides of the governor's abdomen.
Then the outline of a face slowly emerged from the middle. He listened sideways for a moment, and after realizing that Wusheng Old Mother was not exposed, he sank back with relief.
