Chapter 41: Heavenly Mother’s Mercy, Helping All Living Things

Li Xuan stood in the courtyard, arriving at a densely populated area for the first time. He felt deeply moved. After traveling through time and space, today was the day he truly entered this world.

Night falls.

The streets of the county town were becoming less and less crowded, and the town became quiet.

At this time, in the Yunshan County government office, the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and chief clerk gathered together, and the beggar and the 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 that the rich man who came into the city was Xu Junhe's stupid son and his master."

The beggar said with 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 foolish son would look for a hermit master who was always an old man with a brilliant mind. This young man is only 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 hemp clothes sitting in the main seat said, "Xu Junhe is stubborn and unrepentant. He has a huge fortune but has no compassion for the people. Not only did he refuse to join my Tianmu Sect, he also arrested my followers and sent them to the government.

"His son is here, just right for my teaching.

"Later, use the principles of my religion to influence his master and make him sincerely join my religion."

The county magistrate nodded and said, "The protector's words make sense!"

The old man in hemp clothes stood up and said, "Keep an eye on Donghe County. This major plan cannot afford to fail. Xu Junhe is about to get into trouble. If he gives in, you can save him."

"Don't worry, Protector. Military Advisor Kou is in charge of the overall situation in Donghe County. He will definitely be able to successfully take over Donghe County."

The beggar said with a look of admiration.

"Um!"

The old man in hemp clothes nodded. Military Advisor Kou was the think tank of the Tianmu Sect. With him in charge, everything would be safe.

"Follow me to persuade Xu Yan'er's master to join my sect!"

"yes!"

The county magistrate and several others followed the old man in hemp clothes out of the county government office.

…

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

This was a popular storybook in Qi State that he had someone buy.

He was very curious as to why Xu Yan, his silly disciple, firmly believed that there was an extremely powerful martial art in the world after reading the storybook.

Looking everywhere for a master to become his disciple.

"The Heavenly Mother is merciful and helps all living beings. Worship the Heavenly Mother, escape from the sea of ​​suffering, and be rich and noble in the next life..."

The voice rang out on the quiet street, and along with the slogans, there were also the sounds of bells and footsteps coming from the end of the street.

“God bless you!”

“God bless you!”

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

Ding! The sound of metal falling to the ground continued to be heard.

Li Xuan listened and was sure that it was the sound of copper coins falling on the ground.

"The Mother of Heaven goes out to save the sinners and the good, and there is no evil in the world..."

The sound of the bell got closer and clearer. Li Xuan had a strange look on his face. Was the target coming towards him?

wrong!

It was aimed at Xu Yan.

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

"Disciple, what's going on?"

Li Xuan asked.

"Master, he is a charlatan from the Tianmu Sect."

Xu Yan said angrily.

"Tianmu Religion?"

Li Xuan was stunned. Is this a cult within the territory of Qi?

"Yes, Master, the Tianmu Sect was designated as a demonic and rebellious sect by the imperial court, and has been suppressed all along, but it has never been eradicated.

“It’s not just Qi, Wu has also been under siege.

"The Tianmu Cult has launched several rebellions, but none of them succeeded. The last rebellion was twenty years ago. After being defeated, it has become weak and there is almost no public promotion of its doctrine..."

Tianmu Sect is an ancient sect. It can be traced back to the previous dynasty. Since the founding of the State of Qi, it has rebelled no less than ten times.

They were regarded as a thorn in the side by the Qi court, but repeated encirclement and suppression efforts were not successful in completely eradicating them, and they would come back again after a while.

The same was true in the State of Wu.

The Tianmu Sect believes in the so-called "Heavenly Mother" and spreads the word that believing in the Heavenly Mother can help one escape from the sea of ​​suffering and enjoy great wealth in the next life.

Every time the Tianmu Sect started a riot, a group of fearless followers would appear, shouting that their souls would return to the arms of Tianmu, escape from the sufferings of the mortal world, and become rich and powerful in the next life! They were fearless and had caused considerable casualties to the Qi army several times.

There have always been many followers of Tianmu Sect. Even though the imperial court strictly prohibited it, it could not be eradicated. This was especially true in places where famine or disasters occurred, where the people believed in Tianmu Sect even more.

“The guys from the Tianmu sect like to rob people of their money and then give it to poor people to gain their faith.

“They even looted government offices and opened warehouses to release grain.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"However, the Tianmu Sect has been silent for nearly twenty years. At least since I was born, I have never heard of any public parade of the Tianmu Sect or the spread of its teachings."

Xu Yan said with some doubt.

Li Xuan was surprised. This Tianmu Sect had some meanings of the White Lotus Sect, and since it was strictly prohibited by the State of Qi, it was a target to be eliminated.

Why are they openly touring and preaching in Yunshan County? I'm afraid Yunshan County has been secretly controlled by the Tianmu Sect.

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

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

Li Xuan said with a smile.

Xu Yan was startled, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "Could it be that my family's shop in Yunshan has been controlled by the Tianmu Sect? Have I become a follower of the Tianmu Sect?"

"Master, they seem to be coming this way."

Hearing the sound gradually approaching, it was clearly coming towards this place.

"How can this be? They stole my shop and disturbed my practice in the middle of the night. I will go and get rid of them right away."

Xu Yan said angrily.

"No hurry, let them come, just treat it as entertainment."

Li Xuan said with a smile.

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

"Yes, Master!"

Seeing this, Xu Yan responded respectfully.

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

The footsteps stopped outside the courtyard gate, the bells rang rhythmically, and a voice came.

"Mother Heaven is merciful and helps all living beings. Would you be willing to do your part to help all living beings?"

The sound is grand and condensed.

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows. The person who spoke was not an ordinary person. Could this be a top-notch expert in the martial arts world? As Xu Yan said, he was too weak! To him and Xu Yan, the person who spoke was very weak, but to ordinary people, he was a powerful expert.

Xu Yan frowned and said, "A top martial arts master? Why does the Tianmu Sect in Yunshan County have such a martial arts master? Could this be the Tianmu Sect's lair?"

Li Xuan was extremely surprised. He thought the person who spoke was a top-notch martial arts expert, but it turned out to be an extremely top-notch expert? The martial arts level of the Qi martial arts world was a little too low.

"Is this the top martial arts master? So weak!"

Li Xuan said speechlessly.

"Master, they are just ordinary martial artists with limited strength. The top masters have cultivated internal strength. From the sound of his voice, it can be seen that he was stimulated by internal strength..."

Xu Yan explained.

"Internal strength?"

Li Xuan became a little curious.

What's going on with this internal energy? Why is it so weak?

"It's a kind of bursting force, but it's not very powerful. It's roughly equivalent to the initial stage of bone refining? The initial stage of iron bones?"

Xu Yan said somewhat uncertainly.
