You are just making up the exercises, my disciple, have you really mastered them?

Chapter 41 The Heavenly Mother is compassionate and helps the common people

Li Xuan stood in the courtyard and came to a prosperous place for the first time. He felt deeply that he had truly entered this world after traveling so far.

 Night falls.

 On the streets of the county town, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians and it became quiet.

At this time, the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and lord boss gathered together in the Yunshan County government office, and the beggar and the street vendor were also there.

 The person sitting in the main seat was not the county magistrate, but an old man wearing coarse linen clothes.

　　"I found out clearly that the rich and noble people who came into the city are Xu Junhe's foolish son and his master."

The beggar had a strange look on his face.

"Xu Yan? That young man is his master? This is impossible!"

 The county magistrate looked surprised.

“In the past, Xu Junhe’s silly sons were always looking for secluded masters who were energetic old men. This young man is not a few years older..."

He was a little confused as to what method the young man used to trick Xu Yan into becoming his disciple.

The old man in sackcloth who was sitting in the main seat said: "Xu Junhe is stubborn and stubborn. He has huge wealth and has no compassion for the common people. He not only refused to join my Heavenly Mother Cult, but also arrested my followers and sent them to the government.

“His son is here, just for my teaching.

“Later, use me to teach Dayi to influence his master and make him sincerely join my religion.”

The county magistrate nodded and said: "What the Dharma Protector said makes sense!"

The old man in Mai stood up and said: "We are all keeping an eye on Donghe County. There is no room for failure in this plan. Xu Junhe's trouble is coming soon. If he gives in, we can save him."

“Don’t worry, protector, Kou’s military division is in charge of the overall situation in Donghe County, and he will definitely be able to successfully capture Donghe County.”

The beggar said with a look of admiration.

"Um!"

The old man in sackcloth nodded, Military Advisor Kou is the wise man of the Heavenly Mother Sect. With him in charge, everything will be safe.

“Follow me to influence Xu Yan’s master and let him join my religion!”

"yes!"

 The county magistrate and several others followed the old man in Mai out of the county office.

 …

 Xu Yan was practicing in the yard, while Li Xuan was sitting on a chair, holding a book in his hand and reading.

 This is a popular script in Qi State that he had someone buy.

He was very curious as to why Xu Yan, a foolish disciple, firmly believed that there was an extremely powerful martial arts in the world after reading the script.

 Looking around for masters to be apprentices to.

“Heavenly Mother is merciful and helps all living beings. By worshiping Heavenly Mother, you can escape from the sea of ​​suffering and become rich and powerful in the next life…”

 The sound rang out in the silent street. Along with the slogans, there were also the sound of bells and the sound of footsteps coming from the end of the street.

 “Heavenly Mother bless you!”

 “Heavenly Mother bless you!”

 Suddenly, in the neighborhood on the left and right, and on the whole street, many people opened their doors and prayed devoutly.

Ding!

 There was a constant sound of metal falling to the ground.

Li Xuan heard it and was sure that it was the sound of copper coins being sprinkled on the ground.

“Heavenly Mother goes out on patrol to save sins and relieve good people, so that there is no evil in the world…”

The ringing of the bell gradually became closer and clearer. Li Xuan had a strange look on his face. Was the target aimed at him?

 Wrong!

 He came for Xu Yan.

At this moment, Xu Yan had stopped practicing, with a look of displeasure on his face.

 “Disciple, what’s going on?”

Li Xuan asked.

 “Master, he is the magic stick of the Heavenly Mother Cult.”

Xu Yan was a little angry.

 “Tianmu Cult?”

Li Xuan was stunned. Is it a cult in Qi State? “Yes, Master, the Heavenly Mother Sect was designated by the imperial court as a demonic and evil religion, a rebellious religion, and it has been surrounded and suppressed, but it has not been eradicated.

“Not only the Qi State, but also the Wu State has been besieged and suppressed.

“The Heavenly Mother Cult has launched several rebellions, but none of them succeeded. The last rebellion was twenty years ago. After it was defeated, it has become weak and there is almost no public propaganda of the doctrine..."

 The Tianmu Sect is a long-standing sect. It can be traced back to the previous dynasty and the founding of the Qi State. It has rebelled no less than ten times.

　　It was regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the Qi court, but despite repeated encirclement and suppression campaigns, it could not be completely eradicated, and it would come back after a while.

 The same is true in the state of Wu.

 The Heavenly Mother religion believes in the so-called "Heavenly Mother". It is widely spread that belief in the Heavenly Mother can escape suffering and enjoy great wealth in the next life.

Every time the Heavenly Mother Sect causes chaos, a group of followers who are not afraid of death will appear, shouting that their souls will return to the Heavenly Mother’s arms, escape from the suffering of the world, and become rich and powerful in the next life!

　　Not afraid of death, he has caused heavy casualties to the Qi army on several occasions.

There have always been many believers in the Tianmu religion. Even if the court strictly prohibited it, it still could not be banned. Especially in places where famines and disasters occurred, people believed in the Tianmu religion.

“Those from the Heavenly Mother Cult like to rob people of their money and then give it to some poor people to gain their faith.

“He even ransacked the government offices and opened warehouses to store grain.

“However, the Tianmu Cult has been silent for almost twenty years. At least until I was born, I have never heard of any Tianmu Cult publicly touring and spreading their teachings.”

Xu Yan was a little confused.

Li Xuan was surprised. This Heavenly Mother Cult was a bit like the White Lotus Cult, and since it was strictly prohibited by Qi State, it was a target of annihilation.

 Why are we openly parading and preaching the doctrine in Yunshan County?

I'm afraid that Yunshan County has been secretly controlled by the Tianmu Cult.

 The people in the county are either believers or members of the religion.

“This Yunshan County is probably controlled by the Tianmu Cult.”

Li Xuan said with a smile.

Xu Yan looked startled, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "Isn't my shop in Yunshan already controlled by the Tianmu Sect? Has it become a member of the Tianmu Sect?"

“Master, they seem to be coming this way.”

 Listening to the sound getting closer, it was clear that it was coming here.

"It's unreasonable. They robbed my shop and disturbed my practice at night. My disciple sent them away immediately."

Xu Yan said angrily.

 “There’s no rush, let them come and have fun.”

Li Xuan said with a smile.

 Having just come out of the mountain den, he was quite interested in these things in the outside world.

 “Yes, Master!”

Xu Yan responded respectfully when he saw this.

I sighed in my heart: "Master's state of mind is just extraordinary. Are you just playing with the world? This is the mentality of a master!"

The footsteps stopped outside the courtyard door, the bell swayed rhythmically, and a voice came.

“Heavenly Mother is merciful and helps the common people. Are you kind people willing to contribute to the common people?”

 The sound is loud and concentrated.

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows. The person who spoke was not an ordinary person. Could this be a top-notch master in the world?

 Sure enough, as Xu Yan said, it is too weak!

 For him and Xu Yan, the speakers are weak, but for ordinary people, they are powerful masters.

Xu Yan frowned at the side and said: "The most powerful master in the world? Why does the Tianmu Sect in Yunshan County have such masters? Is this the home of the Tianmu Sect?"

Li Xuan was surprised. He thought the person who spoke was a first-class master, but turned out to be a top master?

The military force value of Qi Guo Jianghu is a little too low.

 “Is this the ultimate master in the world? So weak!”

Li Xuan said with a speechless expression.

“Master, they are just ordinary martial arts with limited strength. The top masters have developed inner strength. Judging from the sound of his voice, it is inspired by inner strength..."

 Xu Yan explained.

 “Inner energy?”

Li Xuan was a little curious.

 What’s going on with this internal energy? Why so weak?

“It’s a burst of power. It’s not very powerful. It’s roughly equivalent to entering the bone refining stage? What about the initial stage of iron bone?”

 Xu Yan was a little unsure.
