Chapter 1415 What Is the Purpose

"Is anyone home?"

Xu Changhai slammed on the iron gate.

It was not the family members who responded first to go to the sea, but a barking dog in the courtyard.

The dog's barking was low and fierce. Although I haven't seen it yet, I already know that it is probably a big dog.

It should be a relatively common big wolf dog in the countryside. This one breathes low and whimpers very much like a wolf.

"Wangcai is not allowed to call."

The owner of the courtyard scolded his dog in a low voice before opening the iron gate a crack. The male host opened the entire iron gate after seeing the person coming through the gap.

"It's you, Daoist Xu. Please come in, please come in." The host stepped aside and opened the door, leading Xu Canghai and others into the courtyard.

The small yard is very large, and like most rural yards, the entire yard has been hardened. Grain and paddy can be dried in the yard during the harvest season.

A big black-backed wolfhound was crawling at the feet of the male owner. Although he didn't growl, his eyes were full of guard.

"What a smart dog, he actually protects the master so much." Huang Zeying couldn't help but praise.

There are many dogs in the city, and there are many large dogs. But now the dogs are more cowardly than one. Even though it is a big dog, it can be scared out of its wits by a plush toy tiger.

Or it is a ferocious one who bites anyone and knows how to cause trouble.

It is too rare to see a wolf dog like this kind of smart, fierce, and protective wolfdog who will not attack others easily.

Huang Zeying likes it very much.

The male host smiled and said, "Oh, this Taoist leader looks familiar. No wonder my family's Wangcai barks. He hasn't gotten used to your smell yet, and treats you as a stranger. It seems that Taoist priest Xu and the others come here several times a year, Wangcai will remember."

As if to confirm what the host said, Xu Canghai walked up to Wangcai's side and patted Wangcai's head. Daoist Wangcai did not resist, but let out a comfortable snore.

"Here, here you are." Xu Canghai took out two ham sausages from his arms, unwrapped them and handed them to Wangcai. When Wangcai saw the ham sausage, his mouth watered.

And also issued: Ha ah ~ ha ah ~ gasp. It looks like he wants to eat it very much, but as long as Xu Canghai holds it in his hand, Wangcai just looks at it. It looked at Xu Canghai, then at the ham sausage in his hand, Wangcai was very anxious.

It wasn't until Xu Canghai put the ham sausage into Wangcai's stainless steel rice bowl that Wangcai pounced on it and began to eat it humbly.

"It's really a good dog." Huang Zeying couldn't help but praise: "The master has taken care of him well!"

"Is there anything good or bad? I have to rely on Wangcai to block those annoying guys so I can hide quietly. Does the Taoist priest smoke?"

The male host took out a pack of Baisha from his arms and wanted to give Huang Zeying a loose cigarette. Huang Zeying quickly waved his hand, and the host ordered it for himself.

"Master, who is the annoying guy you're talking about?"

"Hey, those in the village"

The male host lit a Baisha cigarette, and the smoke lingered around his fingertips.

At this moment, Huang Zeying somewhat understood what Xu Guanzhu meant by exclusivity.

"Benefactor Yang is enshrining our Quanzhen, and he is a layman. Most of Xujia Village used to enshrine our Quanzhen. My Quanzhen sect advocates Taoism and nature."

"Because my Taoist sect is all about origin and extinction. If you believe in it, you will believe it. If you don't believe it, you will fall apart. Believe in me, even a layman has many taboos."

"It is not allowed to eat cows, dogs, pigeons, wild geese, black fish. Drinking alcohol should be moderate, no more than three cups. It is taboo to get drunk, taboo to fight with others, taboo to utter dirty words, etc. Even ordinary lay Buddhists need to abide by these precepts "

"So what I teach is that there are more precepts and stricter rules. Ordinary laymen may not be able to bear it."

"There are very few believers like Layman Yang."

What Xu Canghai said made Huang Zeying think deeply.

Taoism is polytheistic, and the gods enshrined on each mountain are different. For example, the Wudang Mountain on Damingding is dedicated to Emperor Zhenwu. And Quanzhen worships the Taishang Laojun.

There is also a statue of the Supreme Lord in Layman Yang's home, and incense is offered every day to pray for blessings without interruption.

Later in the day, several villagers came to Layman Yang's house, and at this time Xu Canghai began to preach.

There is no gorgeous podium, no crowd of onlookers.

Xu Canghai sat on a red plastic stool at Jushi Yang's house, explaining the wisdom in the "Tao Te Ching" to the villagers who were also sitting on the red plastic stool in the yard. Answer the difficulties they encounter in life.

Give pointers to their difficulties in practice.

Although there were only seven of them, Xu Canghai still spoke seriously.

On the other hand, Huang Zeying couldn't help but think: Fortunately, there are seven people, otherwise, if there are four Taoist priests here, it would be really funny if there are more than believers.

After the sermon was over, Layman Yang prepared a vegetarian meal. The food is very simple, that is, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, braised winter melon, steamed pumpkin and fried tofu.

The dishes are simple, but the taste is good. They are all fresh vegetables from the countryside, and they taste very sweet.

"Monastery Lord, is today's matter over?"

After eating the vegetarian meal, Huang Zeying was thinking about whether to go back. But it seemed that Xu Canghai had no intention of leaving at all.

"Leave in no hurry." Xu Canghai used a glass to drink the tea made from five yuan a catty of good tea from Lay Yang's house. Needless to say, it was really painful.

"Then what else are we going to do?" Huang Zeying didn't quite understand.

But Jushi Yang, who was also drinking very bitter tea, suddenly said: "Recently, a group of people came from a few villages."

"Um?"

"Isn't Guanzhu Xu here for this matter?"

Xu Canghai narrowed his eyes slightly.
