Chapter 75 Church [two in one(1/2)
"My friend came to Jiuquan Town to find me this time. I'm afraid it's not as simple as coming to chat with me!"
It was not until the figures of the two apprentices disappeared that Uncle Jiu recovered and asked.
"I can't hide anything from Uncle Jiu. I came here this time, but I actually came to say goodbye to Uncle Jiu!"
"Say your goodbye! Are you planning to go on a long trip?"
Hearing this, Uncle Jiu frowned and looked at Li Yang in shock.
"It's not that I'm going out far, but I'm going to move out. Not only me, but even my father-in-law's family is going to move out together."
Li Yang said reluctantly while siping the fragrant tea in his cup.
If he can, he actually doesn't want to move away. The years he has lived in Renjia Town can be said to be the most stable and peaceful years that Li Yang has lived since time traveling.
With Zhao Yuehua by his side, he only needs to practice with peace of mind every day, and he doesn't have to worry about anything else. He would never dare to think about this kind of free and easy life before.
But he understood what kind of catastrophe would be waiting for the land of China in a few years.
Although he has achieved some success in his cultivation, after all, he is just a selfish person. He cannot sacrifice himself and has not abandoned his entire body of Taoism for the sake of the world.
"This...it's fine, why did you suddenly think about moving away? Is Mr. Ren's business no longer done?"
It took a while for Uncle Jiu to come back to his senses, his face full of surprise.
"Uncle Jiu also knows that it is now in the Great Dharma End of the World, and the Dragon Court collapses again. I always have a bad premonition for this great disaster. Although the world is in chaos, I think this is just the beginning. If one is handled improperly, it may affect the entire world of practice."
"Although we are people seeking the Tao, we are just mortals. Even the gods in the heavenly court, when they encounter the great disaster of the five declines of heaven and man, will not avoid the territory. What's more, if we, those ordinary practitioners who have not achieved enlightenment, will eventually be crushed into powder in this rolling stream of humanity."
After all, he was about to leave, and I don’t know when he would have a chance to see him again. For a righteous and upright person like Uncle Jiu, Li Yang would naturally not be stingy with some kind reminders from him.
Although he thought he could not do what Uncle Jiu was like, and was dedicated to upholding justice and full of righteousness, it did not hinder his appreciation and admiration for such people.
"This... what I said is a bit too serious. We are all outsiders. The change of dynasties on earth has never been related to us monks, so how can it affect the entire world of practice?"
Looking at Li Yang's serious expression, although Uncle Jiu also felt a little doubtful, he did not take it too much.
Unlike a lonely monk like Li Yang, he leaned against the big tree of Maoshan. Even if there was any disaster, there was a tall man holding on to him.
"This is the land deed of the manor outside my town. I want to leave now, and I don't know when I will have the chance to come back, so I gave it to Uncle Jiu as a dojo."
Li Yang was not surprised by Uncle Jiu's reaction. The purpose of his trip was to seek peace of mind, do his best to do his best, and leave his will.
"This...how can this make me? Otherwise, I will take care of my friend first. If I come back in the future, I will return the original item."
Uncle Jiu hesitated for a moment, and when he thought that Li Yang and Mr. Ren were about to move away, he barely accepted the land deed.
"Clang...Clang...Clang..."
"Come on...all the villagers come and have a look!"
"Believe in God and you will be eternal life!"
“…”
"This is?"
At this moment, an inexplicable sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from outside the dojo, and Li Yang looked at Uncle Jiu with a questioning look on his face.
"Hey... it's not that the Western churches are making trouble. Now, they are starting to bewitch the people again. It's just nonsense that they believe in God and gain eternal life. They are simply nonsense and use some small profits to attract ordinary people."
"The most important thing is to reopen the church, which is a three evil position in this town, and it is the most evil place!"
Listening to the sound coming from the street outside, Uncle Jiu was dark and full of anxiety.
"Did Uncle Jiu tell the great relationship between this? Didn't he tell the elders of the town? Or would he just ask the mayor to tell the interests of this relationship? "
Looking at Uncle Jiu's irritable and helpless expression, Li Yang asked in confusion.
"Why didn't you say that, the key is that this church is the mayor's son who contacted several tobacco shops in the town. Those who opened brothels wanted to open them together. They were not good people and they couldn't listen to my advice at all."
When talking about this, Uncle Jiu became even more angry. He thought that he was also famous Feng Shui master-level figures in several towns around him. No one would give him any face when he saw him. But the stupid son of the mayor's family relied on staying abroad for a few years to study, and when he came back, he said that his trick was feudal superstition. During this period, Uncle Jiu was very angry with him.
"So that's the case. Uncle Jiu, don't worry. Otherwise, let me go out and explore the details of this Western church first!"
Seeing Uncle Jiu's tone, it was obvious that he had been angry a lot during this period. Li Yang felt a little moved and said.
"Little Friend Li wants to go, it's okay to go and have a look, but don't listen to the old priest talking nonsense. He has no ability, but he is very good at speaking!"
Seeing Li Yang's expression of interest, Uncle Jiu quickly reminded that it seemed that he had suffered a lot from the old priest.
After leaving Uncle Jiu's temple, I watched the bustling townsmen outside discussing something around a bald priest.
With his tall figure, Li Yang squeezed in in a short while.
"Sir, are you here to believe in the Lord, too?"
Li Yang's outfit, coupled with his tall figure and handsome face, looked particularly conspicuous among the crowd of people in coarse linen.
Just now, just as Li Yang was watching the fun with an interest, a young woman in a red low-cut dress couldn't help but lit up her eyes, walked up quickly and asked.
The woman is dressed up in a fashionable outfit and has a good figure, but the heavy makeup on her face feels like a little extravagant, which lacks a bit of natural purity, but adds a bit of dusty atmosphere.
"Believe in the Lord, haha... I heard that don't you all churches in the West believe in Jehovah? Why did you convert to Jesus?"
Looking at the woman in front of him, Li Yang had a look of playfulness on his face.
"Sir, please do not call the Lord's name directly. If you are the first offender, we will not pursue it."
As soon as Li Yang said something, the bald priest who was explaining the Bible to the townsmen came up and spoke.
While speaking, he also made a prayer statement, as if Li Yang had committed a great sin. Even the townsmen on the side looked at Li Yang with a little displeasure and hostility.
"What? Isn't the name called someone? You are not always claiming that God loves the world, so why not call him his name?"
Facing the eyes of these townsmen, Li Yang didn't care at all, and still looked careless.
"God loves the world, so we must hold a pious attitude towards him, and we should not call God's name directly!"
Although he didn't like Li Yang's attitude, the old priest was still very patient and explained with a serious face.
"As for what you call Jesus and Jehovah, they are the incarnations of the Lord in the world. Our Christianity emphasizes the presence of the Son, the Father, and the Holy Spirit, and all represent the supreme God!"
Is the Trinity? Interesting, it seems that this so-called God does have some practices.
Three represents a special meaning in the universe. In Taoism's understanding, there is a saying that all things are born in three ways. Therefore, Taoism has three Taoist ancestors, both Taiqing, Yuqing and Shangqing.
Similarly, in Buddhism, the three also represent the three Buddhas in the horizontal and vertical world, namely the past Buddha, the present Buddha and the future Buddha.
And since this little Christian, who is a barbarian in the foreign world, dares to claim that the Trinity is God, it is very interesting. Regardless of his true abilities, it is enough to show that the great way is indeed the same destination.
"It's very interesting to understand. Although I don't believe in God, I have gained something after listening to your remarks."
Looking at the serious expression of the bald old priest, Li Yang said meaningfully.
"Young people, it's good to have gains. As long as you believe in God, I believe you will definitely have unexpected gains. Faith is the source of human progress. Only piety can make the road of life better!"
Seeing that Li Yang seemed to have some understanding, the old priest advised him with a teaching look on his face.
"I agree with the priest's words and agree with your statement. People do need faith, but it's a pity that I already have my own faith!"
Li Yang nodded, expressing his recognition and affirmation of the old priest, and then said with a pity.
"Young man, you are very insightful. In this way, you tell me what you believe in. We can go to the church to discuss it carefully and let me explain to you the benefits of believing in God. Maybe you will be lost."
Seeing that he had spoken a few words, it seemed as if he had convinced Li Yang. The old godfather seemed to feel an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. The unhappiness just now seemed to no longer existed, and he invited him enthusiastically.
"Yes, come to our church. I can explain the principles in the Bible to you. I believe you will like it!"
At this moment, the woman dressed in a dress looked at Li Yang and persuaded her from the side. As she spoke, she stretched out her white and tender little hands and introduced herself: "Hello, gentleman, my English name is Anny, just call me Annie, where are you?"
"Hello Miss Anne, my name is Li Yang!"
Li Yang smiled at Annie's kindness, stretched out his hand very gentlemanly, and politely held it.
"Miss Anne, and me, and I! I need you to explain the Bible for me, too."
Before Li Yang could agree, a figure suddenly squeezed in from the side. It was Uncle Jiu's apprentice A Xing.
In a blink of an eye, Ah Xing squeezed to Annie's side, and her eyes were instantly attracted by the deep groove on Annie's chest, and she wanted to dive into it and feel it.
The moment he saw Ah Xing's figure, Li Yang immediately looked around and saw Uncle Jiu in the corner beside him.
As for his apprentice's performance, Uncle Jiu, who was secretly observing in the corner, was covering his face. After feeling Li Yang's gaze, he looked even more embarrassed.
"Since that's the case, let's go together!"
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Ah Xing's naked eyes, Annie was not good at scolding in public, so she could only suppress the discomfort, smiled reluctantly, and said.
She has never seen men peek at her breasts, but most of them just look at them secretly and glanced at them intentionally or unintentionally, but she has never encountered them as naked as Ah Xing and stared at them openly.
Although Li Yang despises Ah Xing's style, he has to admit that Annie's fashionable outfit combined with the deep groove on her chest is indeed fatal attraction to those rusty buns who have little knowledge in this era.
"Huh...are you not your master's friend? Why are you here too?"
It took a long time until the group was about to enter the church that A Xing noticed Li Yang on the other side of Annie and asked in surprise.
Li Yang directly chose to ignore A Xing's reaction and pretended not to know him.
"I am A Xing! Uncle Jiu's apprentice, I just gave you tea."
Seeing that Li Yang had no reaction, as if he had not heard him speak, Ah Xing immediately came up and pointed to his face and said.
"Ahem...I recognized it!"
