Chapter 222: Being filial
Xu Xiaotian is a peaceful person who is the inheritor of the Lushan Madam Sect, which is often called the Lushan Sannui Sect.
The Sannui sect is known to the world for its characteristics such as tying a red cloth on its head, piercing its forehead, wearing a green coat, and a red skirt. It is currently the largest branch of the Lushan sect.
Next is the Wutou Master Dazhugong sect, and the Pu'an sect is dedicated to the eminent monk Pu'an of the Linji sect of Buddhism.
As for others, such as the Five Spirits Sect, Queen Mother Sect, Xujia Sect, Liyuan Sect, Qingzhu Sect, etc., they are all considered small branches. On the whole, it is based on the Lushan method, and then incorporates some characteristics of other sects and schools.
The intensity varies and is generally quite mixed.
In Fujian, when talking about spiritual practice, it is impossible to avoid the Lushan sect.
Lushan Lushan, worshiped by ghosts and gods!
Being able to be passed down for thousands of years, and still developing and growing today even as Taoism is declining, Lushan naturally has its own uniqueness.
At that time, Patriarch Bai Yuchan said: "Lushan is a witch, not a Tao", which became a strong evidence for other Taoist sects to criticize Lushan.
So, is Lushan a witch or a Tao?
First of all, Bai Zu was already a person nearly a thousand years ago.
Thousands of years ago, Lushan was indeed a primitive religion that was more shamanistic, even though it believed in Lord Xu Zhen.
However, after so many years of absorption, integration and development, and the inheritance of many large and small sects being dissipated in the great historical changes, the Lushan sect, which is regarded as witchcraft, has survived.
Not only survived, but survived well.
At this time, a sect from a non-Xuanmen sect that has a more complete inheritance of rituals and techniques than many Xuanmen sects, can you still call it a witch?
If yes, what is the difference between this and first-degree discrimination?
At that time, King Wu of Chu said "I am a barbarian", which is still shocking two thousand years later.
Now that we are facing the predicament of strange recovery, if we still hold on to the partial view of witchcraft and Taoism, Chen Jingle thinks that people with this idea should be sent to the front line of the battle against strangeness and rethink this issue. Maybe they will Have new insights.
……
Let’s talk about Xu Xiaotian.
It was purely by chance that he joined the Lushan Sect.
When he was six years old, Xu Xiaotian encountered the most terrifying and luckiest turning point in his life.
He was haunted by the Traveler.
As introduced before, the so-called wandering master is a ghost who was a cultivator during his lifetime. After his death, he stayed in the world for various reasons and did not go to Fengdu.
The difference between them and ordinary people is that they have magic power but lose consciousness and act on instinct. The best outcome is to become a soldier, and the worst outcome is to do something that is harmful to nature and be beaten to death by an expert.
During the period around the millennium, the number of traveling masters was quite large, which was related to the environment at that time.
The reason why Master You clings to Xu Xiaotian is simple: it wants to become Xu Xiaotian's master.
But it forgot that it was already a wandering master now, and Xu Xiaotian was still a child who had not yet entered the Tao, so how could he withstand its influence.
Usually if this situation is not resolved as soon as possible, people will become crazy and stupid, and may even die.
It was Xu Xiaotian's fate that he shouldn't give up. Fortunately, a group of Lushan cultivators came back from doing business in the countryside and passed by their village. These people were Xu Xiaotian's later masters and senior brothers and sisters.
The strength of this wandering master is extraordinary. He is proficient in magic. However, he became a wandering master because the magic altar did not pass it down. It took everyone a lot of effort to seal it.
This group of Lushan mages helped solve the problem of wandering masters. From then on, Xu Xiaotian officially became a disciple of the Lushan Mistress Sect and learned various rituals and spells.
"Anyone who studies Taoism, although he admires the person, is proud of his wealth, refuses to ask questions, and does not make an oath of alliance. This is called treachery, so be careful not to follow him;
Anyone who is a student of Taoism, who has heard a little bit about some side methods, and insists on arguing only about things in order to show off his wisdom is to boast and dazzle, so be careful and do not follow him;
Anyone who studies the Tao has mixed doubts and beliefs. He does not worry about life and death. He attaches importance to wealth but neglects his body. He does not know fate, so he should refrain from it. ”
It is not unreasonable to be entangled by the travel master. Xu Xiaotian's talent is the kind that the ancestors rewarded for food. He is so strong that his brothers and sisters are envious. He has already made a name for himself at a young age.
The master originally wanted to pass the sect's teaching altar to him so that he could carry it forward, but he refused because the master was still young and chose to make his own.
The Lushan School's techniques are very domineering, which may be related to the personality of the Fujian people.
Eight mountains, one water, and one land, it is impossible to live without fighting.
Didn’t you see that Fujianese people are visa-free around the world, can leave at any time, and can make a career anywhere, which has made many countries change their minds after hearing about it.
What can be fought for is naturally extraordinary.
Lushan's spells and spells also inherited this characteristic. They were fighting for a way to survive, so they basically focused on killing, and if they didn't accept it, they would do it. It is common for many masters from Lushan who opened the altar to leave the altar with blood.
Among the many means, soldiers and horses are the most powerful.
Xu Xiaotian's number one soldier was the traveler who pestered him back then.
After he chose to make his own Dharma Altar, the master helped him accept the wandering master.
Now, Xu Xiaotian is able to control such soldiers and horses with ease, and they have become a powerful aid for him in conquering demons.
……
On the mountain not far from Linkengtou Village.
Xu Xiaotian looked at it from a distance and was stunned when he saw Zhou Shuisheng who was still doing it just now, suddenly aroused the anger of the ghost.
"What's going on? Why did the commotion start?"
His idea of watching the excitement is actually quite taboo. When you meet someone you don't want to talk to, they will think you are spying on their sect's secrets, and it is normal to form a deadly feud.
Xu Xiaotian was also confused for a moment, but of course he was confident that he would not be discovered.
"Master?"
The Lin family also saw that something was wrong.
Zhou Shuisheng's face became increasingly ugly, his figure became more and more trembling, and it seemed that the magnetic field around him had undergone subtle changes.
He asked cautiously.
Zhou Shuisheng gritted his teeth and couldn't care less: "There is an invasion of external evil, and it is thinking about the ghost of your father. Help me quickly!"
When the Lin family heard this, they immediately panicked: "Master, how can I help you?"
"Take my magic whip and beat it!"
He is now at his wits end.
"I'm coming!"
Lin Guodong regained his energy, picked up the magic whip on Zhou Shuisheng's incense table before anyone else, and hit it where he said it would be.
Lin Zhengwen's ghost screamed and looked at his eldest son with grief and anger.
How could I have given birth to such an idiot in the first place!
After Lin Guodong finished the beating, he felt a sharp pain in his heart for some unknown reason. He felt that this external evil was so terrifying that it could actually affect his mind. He had no idea that it was his father who was being beaten.
It's true that the son beat his father, which made the whole family feel filial piety.
"Not good!"
Xu Xiaotian looked at it from a distance, frowning.
Originally, the ghost seemed to be angered by the person who did it and then fought back. Now it seems that the trouble has become even bigger. If it continues like this, it might turn into a resentful spirit.
No matter, let’s control it first!
By the way, Xu Xiaotian actually has another identity.
He is a non-staff partner of Haicheng Civil Affairs Bureau.
Illnesses come like a mountain and go away like threads. I just fall asleep after taking medicine. It’s so difficult to bear.
