"When I leave, I will always repay Senior Brother Mu Yuping well...
I didn't have this ability before, but it's different now!" Tao Xiaowu thought.
During the dinner, everyone couldn't help but mention Li Mazi's matter, and everyone patted their chests and expressed that no matter what, they would rescue Li Mazi.
It is not easy to practice cultivation in this world today. Although these Taoists from different walks of life usually have some friction and competition with each other in business.
But when encountering big problems, they are always there to help each other.
Only Tao Xiaowu heard it and sneered secretly in his heart.
If Tao Xiaowu's guess is correct, the guy who sacrificed the resentful ghost in the dungeon last time was Li Mazi.
Seeing that he was able to do these things in the dungeon of Marshal Wang's house, I'm afraid that guy was definitely not arrested, but maybe he was treated as a guest by Marshal Wang!
However, it was difficult for Tao Xiaowu to say these words directly without evidence.
He smiled and said: "Senior brother, I really wanted to hear you say last time that fellow Taoist Li Mazi's cultivation is different from that of ordinary people.
Is it true that I am not practicing with earth evil spirits, but with ghost evil spirits?"
Before Mu Yuping could answer, a Taoist laughed and said: "Of course it's true, that guy's face is pockmarked, which is the sequelae of practicing ghost evil.
But speaking of it, the technique of ghost evil is much more powerful than the earth evil we practice.
Especially the Thousand Ghosts Formation is even more powerful. Last time the ghost gate opened, if Li Mazi was here, things would have been much easier to solve!"
Tao Xiaowu listened and said with a smile: "I see, I heard that this Li Mazi came from the capital, and he had served as a minister to the court before. Is this true?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone including Mu Yuping, Mayangzi and others looked at each other, obviously not knowing about this.
Mu Yuping couldn't help but ask: "Junior brother, who did you listen to about this kind of thing?
I remember that Li Mazi had Kaiyizhuang in Renshan County since I was a child!"
Mu Yuping is in his early forties, he said, so Li Mazi has obviously been opening Yizhuang here for at least thirty or forty years!
Tao Xiaowu smiled and said: "I also heard people say it, and it seems that it is fake!"
Mayangzi said: "Maybe it's possible... I remembered that Li Mazi should have come from other places.
It seems that he came to Renshan County in the years after the demise of the Qing Dynasty..."
Decades have passed and many things have been forgotten.
However, now I was inspired by something and started thinking about it again.
Tao Xiaowu nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions. He was almost convinced in his heart.
Cultivation of ghost spirits, prospect of being worshiped by the imperial court...
On the contrary, Mayangzi and others also fell silent. If Li Mazi was enshrined by the Qing Dynasty, this person was by no means as simple as they usually dealt with.
You know, in their impression, Li Mazi was only in his fifties.
It has been almost forty years since the demise of the Future!
If Tao Xiaowu hadn't mentioned it, even Mayangzi wouldn't have realized this.
And who can become the enshrinement of the future imperial court, which one is not a master among masters?
There is no way a young man in his 10s or 20s could do it.
There are many doubts in this!
However, no one present thought about it deeply.
Conspiracy theories are easily born among modern people who have too much fragmentary information.
But these Taoists of this era would never think so much.
Maybe Li Mazi is just living here in seclusion? He doesn't want to be found out about the past...
After a moment of silence, a Taoist said with a smile: "Master Miaoguo has already gone to investigate. I think there should be news in the next few days.
In short, let’s find out first what kind of strange disease that Marshal Wang has, and then we can find a way to save him later!”
Obviously, everyone felt that although Li Mazi was captured by the troops sent by Marshal Wang, there would obviously be no big problem.
As long as Marshal Wang's illness is cured, Li Mazi can naturally be rescued.
Tao Xiaowu smiled and said nothing, not wanting to expose Li Mazi.
First of all, it's none of his business.
Secondly, why do you say something without evidence?
Just listening to them talking about Master Miaoguo, I asked with a strange expression: "Brother, why are there still monks here?"
"Oh, is that Master Miaoguo from Shanyuan Temple you are talking about? This master has a good relationship with us..."
"No, I mean, isn't this a Taoist thing? Why is a monk here?" Tao Xiaowu was surprised.
"Red flowers, white lotus roots and green lotus leaves, the three religions are originally one family, so why should they be separated from each other?"
Master Miaoguo is a warmhearted person with ancient Taoism and profound Dharma, and he has a good relationship with us." Mu Yuping said disapprovingly.
Tao Xiaowu suddenly realized that this era was an era in which Buddhism and Taoism had declined, and they had already lost their sanctity. There was no longer any debate over ideas!
It’s not like Dayu…
There are also Brahma monks in Dayu World, but not many.
It was the Emperor Xiao Ming who dreamed of the Golden Man at night and knew that there was a Brahma God in the Western Regions. So he sent an envoy to the Western Regions to welcome back the Brahma monks and scriptures.
However, not many people in Dayu world believe in Brahma.
Firstly, Dayu emphasizes that the parents must be protected and must not be damaged.
Secondly, the meaning of the Sanskrit Sutra is just new, nothing remarkable, and no one reads it much.
Just like in Tao Xiaowu's original world, it was also after the Southern and Northern Dynasties, when the Five Husbands were in chaos.
Some Hu masters who took over the Central Plains believed that the Hu people should believe in the Hu religion, and Taoism was always prone to rebellion.
Only then did Buddhism begin to rise. Finally, scriptures continued to be introduced, which merged with the Qingtan Xuanfeng at that time, perfected the theory of scripture meanings, and attracted scholar-bureaucrats, and finally took root.
Then began the more than a thousand years of fighting between Buddhism and Taoism, life and death.
The three martial arts and one sect that destroyed Buddhism several times in history were all driven by Taoists.
Even in the Yuan Dynasty, the two debated and competed with each other.
However, with the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Confucianism completely took over the dominant position, and Buddhism and Taoism fell from the altar. After they began to become secular, they reconciled and blended.
At this time, no one was surprised to see these Taoists gathering and mixing in monks... except Tao Xiaowu...
After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was not a strange thing for monks to visit Taoist temples and for Taoists to stay overnight in monk temples.
It is not surprising that there are gods and goddesses in monk temples and Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Taoist temples!
There is just one sentence called what?
People often can't bear to talk about Cao Cao and Cao Cao will come.
As soon as I said this, I heard a loud shout like a dragon's bell coming through: "Okay, you people don't call me when you drink!"
Then a fat and muscular monk in monk's robes strode in.
Everyone smiled and stood up to greet him, obviously they had a good relationship with the monk.
