Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 297 Let it go
In his letter, Master Mao mainly talked about his travels in Xin'an County, the abandoned villages, his escape into the mountains to avoid the government, the harshness of the government, and his insights into healing the world.

His tone subtly carried a murderous intent, suggesting he held the sword and axe techniques described in the Qingnang Book in high regard.

At the same time, another idea emerged: "Prevent illness before it occurs, and prevent chaos before it arises."

We began to study the causes of the disease and how to prevent it.

This is the benefit of reading a lot: it makes you good at thinking.

It would be inappropriate to describe the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic as a medical text; rather, it is a philosophy of life centered on life, encompassing medicine, astronomy, geography, psychology, sociology, as well as philosophy and history.

The Taoist priest's research direction is very valuable. I remember the last time someone had this idea and tried to cure the world's diseases was the Great Master.

Xu Xuan didn't take it to heart; it was still consistent with the style of Baoan Hall.

Xiaoqing's letter was rambling on and on, missing the point, and even contained many creepy little suggestions.

For example, they plan to open a branch of Bao'an Temple in Xin'an County to provide medicine and medical services, exorcise demons and monsters, and eliminate corrupt officials, so that the people here can have a chance to survive.

In a few years, it would be a great development direction to expand all over the continent. At that time, will I, Manager Qing, be able to accumulate merit and become a saint?
Good, good, that's quite an ambition.

The Heavenly Court never interfered with mortal dynasties back then, so what are you trying to do?
To become the Supreme Heavenly Venerable, the One Who Holds the Mandate of Heaven, the Pardoner of Sins, and the Lesser Green Saint King?
This kind of comprehensive organization, which is spread across the continent, is estimated to cause great chaos as soon as it leaves Wu County, and then the world will be engulfed in flames of war. Together we will gather the wheel of sin and enjoy divine retribution.

The suggestion is to reject the proposal and instead focus on self-cultivation and reading more books.

The letter also mentioned that her sister was going to find a divine weapon to protect Young Master Xu and might be leaving West Lake for a while.

"I told my sister that Xu Xuan likes discreet weapons, preferably the kind that can be used for surprise attacks. Don't I understand you perfectly?"

When Xu saw this, he felt like his head was about to explode.

Thank you for telling the truth, but don't you care about my feelings? What will Miss Bai think of me? That Xu Hanwen who loves to ambush?

What the hell do you mean by sneaking up and ambushing? I've taken down quite a few experts fair and square, you know. While the choice of weapon was correct, couldn't you at least embellish it a bit?
You don't understand the art of language at all. I'll have to go back and learn properly, you little monster!
The third piece of paper finally revealed some substantial information, outlining the plan to be completed: to swiftly eliminate the serpent and then elegantly hang the prefect, aiming to replicate the actions taken in Jianye.

He also said that he had already come up with an amazing poetic title and was just waiting to make his appearance.

Therefore, at this time, I need the most ruthless, insidious, and vicious scheme. Hanwen will help me!

Hmm. Ever since she went on a killing spree with Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, Xiao Qing hasn't cared much about the fate of the human race or the dynasty, which doesn't seem like a good thing.

After calming down, Xu Xuan began to think.

The situation in Xin'an County is really complicated, tricky, and impactful, even causing the human and the two demons to have different ideas.

Xu Xuan happened to be at Bailu Academy, which had a detailed understanding of the general situation of the world and secret information channels.

After finding Shen Yifu and exchanging a few words, they obtained all the documents and began to peruse them.

Jia Ning, the prefect of Xin'an, came from the Jia clan of Pingyang.

Alright, just by looking at the name and family at the beginning, we can tell that Little Green King is indeed someone who deserves to die.

This family is the rare kind where the entire clan has a very bad reputation, producing many figures who are despised in history, comparable to the Sima family.

Of course, the other party was indeed very powerful at this time, and even the Wang and Xie families would not easily provoke them.

His father, Jia Chong, was Grand Commandant, acting as Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince and Director of the Imperial Secretariat. He was enfeoffed as Duke of Lu, with a fief of eight thousand households.

His sister, Jia Nanfeng, was the empress of the reigning emperor. Although the emperor spent years cultivating immortality, leaving her a widow in name only, she was given real power and was known for her tyranny and despotism.

So this guy is a powerful maternal relative.

Arriving in Xin'an County is just a few years of gilding one's resume; after a few years of reckless behavior, one will naturally return to the capital for a promotion.

With such a powerful backer and no one to restrain him, he has been a troublemaker since childhood, and even ordinary princes dare not oppose him.

It's not an exaggeration to think that they could cause all this trouble in Xin'an County; raising demons is probably just a hobby.

The evil of human nature was on full display. After reading through the letters from the three members of Baoan Hall multiple times, Xu Xuan made a decision and began to reply to them seriously.

"After killing the tailless serpent king, retreat as soon as possible."

This time, I'll listen to Turtle.

Jianye had just executed the Chancellor of Changsha not long ago, and not long after, he killed a powerful relative of the emperor. Even using the name of the White Lotus Sect couldn't cover it up.

If those people were really that capable and efficient, they wouldn't have been stuck in the north, listless and dispirited.

Being an outsider, Xu Xuan always felt that Baoantang's choice of target this time was problematic, as if someone was pushing it from behind.

From the scorpion-tailed snake appreciation event to the perverse actions of the governor of Xin'an, the events are strikingly similar to those in Jianye.

As a warm-hearted scholar, I have a keen sense for conspiracies.

Baoantang has made numerous moves, so it's no surprise that they're now being targeted maliciously.

Even bad guys have friends and family, and given the government's aversion to civilian organizations, underground organizations will eventually be exposed.

I can't make a definitive statement since I wasn't there, but it's always good to be cautious.

The Taoist priest continued to spread his teachings and heal the sick among the people.

"Illness has plagued me for years, I cannot leave my bed, doctors cannot cure me, and my pent-up emotions cannot be relieved."

"Since you can dispel the evil spirits of disease, why don't you try dispelling other kinds of evil spirits, Taoist Master?"

"The theories in the 'Suwen·Treatise on Regulating the Spirit in Accordance with the Four Seasons' can be referenced, but not entirely accepted. The public is unaware of the origins of pathology and needs guidance."

"We need to change our ways and not make a fuss about it. We should wait for the right time. Just as the human body is like the heavens, there may be a way to heal itself."

The emphasis on safety first is truly taboo.

As for Xiaoqing, she's easy to deal with.

You can enjoy the fact that Baoantang has opened branches all over the mainland, but for the time being, you should not add any other attributes besides healing the sick and saving lives.

Don't let Miss Bai worry too much about the divine weapon. I, Xu Hanwen, am a man of stature and I have some skills.

Finally, he said that the mere Prefect of Xin'an County was not worthy of being recited in poetry by King Xiaoqing; at least the rank of Governor of a prefecture would be appropriate.

I really can't stand the other party's actions. Using witchcraft to scare him might keep the area peaceful for a short time. I'll deal with that bastard on my way back.

Everything seems to be arranged, but whether it will go as planned is another matter.

Xiaoqing learned a lot from Xu Xuan, one of her traits being lawlessness.

He constantly advises others to be cautious, yet when he first entered the Daoist path, he dared to gamble and fight with Judge Lu. He dared to enter Guo Bei alone even when Yin and Yang were reversed, and he did not back down even when the five dragons of Jianye came out together.

These set a very good example for the little monsters.

That means how can you not lend a hand when you encounter someone in need?

Inside a thatched hut, Gui Da was brewing medicinal herbs.

The Taoist priest was changing the dressing on a little girl whose eyes had been gouged out.

His hands were steady, but the anger in his heart had become unbalanced.

Xiaoqing, who was holding the reply, came in and saw this scene, then said to the other two.

"Master Xu has replied, agreeing in principle that we should go ahead and do it."
