Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 190 How to Cure the Diseases of Heaven and Earth
Xiaoqing looked puzzled and asked how it was so ingenious.

Master Mao had no doubts and explained, “Miss Qing is not human. If she observes for herself, she will find that if a person can live uprightly between heaven and earth, all things in the world will follow suit; if a person fails in their duty, not only will they be injured and unable to live long, but all things and even heaven and earth will suffer because of the person’s misconduct, and ‘evil energy will arise.’”

"Young Master Xu was talking about pathology, but he was also talking about the principles of cultivation."

"I seem to be able to sense a grand and majestic method of cultivation from it."

Wow~~ He's not just a straight man, he can also glean profound meaning from his words.

The fact that she can translate and elaborate on the text shows that she reads a lot of books.

Xu Xuan was a little embarrassed, because he couldn't tell whether the Taoist priest was genuinely experiencing the cultivation method or just flattering him.

However, this theory does indeed incorporate practices.

He combined his own White Lotus Incarnation True Scripture with the fragments of the divine book given to him by the Taoist priest, as well as the Yu Gong.

Xu Xuan studied in the library every day, and many principles and theories remained in his heart. Although this time it was for the purpose of dealing with the demonic troubles in Jiangnan, there was also some genuine feeling involved.

The effect was unexpectedly good, and the Taoist priest was eagerly anticipating what would happen next.

"Ahem, all evils have gathered together. Disasters and anomalies are a great ailment of the yin and yang of heaven and earth; if a great ailment is not treated, how can it be cured?"

This saying means that if the heavens and earth are sick, how should they be cured?
Master Mao was deeply moved, as he was amazed by the magnanimity of Young Master Xu, which exceeded his own expectations.

Xiaoqing was also amazed. The scholar and monk had really put in a lot of effort this time. Could it be that they were trying to take something by first giving it to someone else?

"I've summarized three points."

"In accordance with the will of Heaven, in harmony with reason, and in order to appease the people."

"To be in harmony with the will of Heaven means to have a keen understanding of the heavens, the sun, the moon, and all living beings, and to follow their lead in all things."

"To achieve harmony between reason and emotion, one must follow the laws of nature and act in accordance with morality and righteousness."

"If the people's will is appeased and the above is achieved, the world will be at peace."

"The three elements are interconnected; this is a kind of Tao."

The Taoist priest reacted strongly, as if he had heard something extraordinary. His eyes glazed over for a moment, and he muttered to himself.

Oh, I see. So Shinto books are human books or something.

Instantly, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) poured in like a funnel, and in just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, his cultivation level really increased a lot. His frivolous cultivation after entering the Dao became much more stable.

Xiaoqing: Are you serious?
Xu Xuan: Why didn't I have an epiphany?

The two exchanged a helpless glance.

Once the Taoist priest finished his meditation, he immediately bowed deeply to Xu Xuan.

"This method is almost identical to my Shinto book, and it even roughly completes a small part of it."

"Young Master Xu is truly a trustworthy man. In truth, my affairs are not worth such trouble."

Master Mao was deeply moved by how much Young Master Xu had devoted himself to the cultivation method during this period of time, neglecting sleep and meals.

The grace of being reborn, the absolute grace of being reborn!
Although he didn't say it aloud, he had already made up his mind that he would repay this immense kindness with his life.

Xu Xuan smiled and said, "That's exactly what I think."

"Theory is just theory; to put it into practice, you need to do things in a down-to-earth manner."

"Please teach me, Young Master Xu?"

After a moment of contemplation, Mr. Xu spoke earnestly.

"Using the universe as the external universe to heal illnesses, thereby enhancing the cultivation of the microcosm within the human body."

"How about we start by curing the demonic plague in Jiangnan?"

This was an incredibly powerful statement; at that moment, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and thunder roared for thousands of miles.

Many cultivators sighed in unison, "This world is truly unbearable! What are we going to do now?"
Samsung reincarnated, Mars enters the heart; at this critical moment, who knows what powerful figure will make a move? Truly fearless of death!

At this moment, an aura of killing intent had already permeated the sky above the Jiangnan region.

As the clouds of calamity rolled, the demons in the water all felt a chill in their hearts, but then forgot what they had just felt.

Inside Baoan Hall, all was calm except for the Taoist priest's impassioned voice: "This humble Taoist will obey."

Master Mao was overwhelmed with emotion at this moment. He felt that if he could hear the Dao in the morning, he could die content in the evening. So he naturally said whatever was said.

Although my strength is meager, Young Master Xu is very methodical in his actions and should not act recklessly.

Healing the world is such a heroic act; even if one's cultivation level doesn't increase, one's merits will certainly be gained.

What reason is there to refuse?

That's how powerful it is to have reputation already reached Revered.

Xiaoqing was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up, her big eyes brimming with tears, almost ready to cry.

Okay, this person was also moved.

Actually, I knew I was being a bit silly that day, and it wasn't necessary.

It's no wonder Xiaoqing thought that way; this matter is indeed prone to misunderstanding.

"Don't overthink it. You just enlightened me. Eliminating the demonic threat in Jiangnan is something I also want to do."

At this point, Xu Xuan finally revealed his true thoughts.

"Just three streets away, when I was still an ordinary scholar, I slapped a scoundrel named Zhang San."

"The first principle is: To see what is right and not do it is cowardice. The second principle is: To sacrifice one's life for righteousness. The third principle is: To die for benevolence."

"You see, this is the kind of person I am."

Master Mao was even more moved by what Young Master Xu said, but it did not diminish his image of a great man in his heart. Who wouldn't want the big boss they follow to be a good person?

Next comes the division of labor and cooperation; before the army moves, supplies and scouts must go first.

The Taoist priest began gathering information about the water demon in Jiangnan, whether it was true or false, gossip or rumors.

Xiaoqing went home to ask her parents for help, asking them to throw over all sorts of magical weapons, protective treasures, and elixirs.

Presumably, Miss Bai will provide logistical support.

Xu Xuan, on the other hand, began to formulate specific plans; a direct confrontation was not his style.

Today's meeting was simply to clarify the internal ideology of Baoan Hall and to inspire everyone's fighting spirit.

The outcome was positive; the three junior monks in the small Bao'an Hall decided to launch an attack on the chaos in the entire Jiangnan region.

It was simply to protect the peace of one area.

After the meeting, Bai Suzhen in West Lake also looked away.

The objective has been perfectly achieved, and handling logistics is naturally no problem.

There was a special kind of magic about Xu Hanwen that even she found herself moved after looking at him for a while.

However, the principle of "Pathological View, Healing the World" seems somewhat familiar, as if I had heard of it hundreds of years ago.

The principles and ideas are profound, and must be from the orthodox Taoist tradition.

I don't understand. This person probably has several secrets hidden.

He then returned to the stone platform to meditate, using the Heart Sutra and willow leaves to cut off the day's distracting thoughts.

A moment later, she was once again the flawless White Snake.

Xu Xuan returned to the academy and continued to work tirelessly day and night. Even the Three Wonders and Three Heroes noticed this and wanted to lend a hand.

"Don't worry, the teacher will never hesitate to help when needed."

"It's not the right time yet."

There was no deception. Most of these individuals possessed considerable influence and ability in the secular world, and Xu naturally wouldn't let them go.

Just as he was busy, Liang Shanbo arrived.
