Chapter 228: The Three Mao Brothers
Wu Feng didn't say anything and made a gesture of listening with his eyes fixed on the white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man slightly contemplated, finally opened the box, he slowly said:Many years ago, Shaanxi Xianyang boundary there is a person called Mao Ying, nineteen years old to Hengshan Mountain to cultivate, forty-nine years old after returning home to visit his parents, he came to Jiangsu Jiuqu Mountain to cultivate. He worked at sunrise and returned at sunset, brewing medicines, studying Taoist scriptures, curing diseases for the local people in Maoshan Mountain, doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, and was quite loved by the township. Finally, one day, people suddenly no longer see this old Taoist called Mao Ying, they think he has been accomplished, become immortal. Mao Ying also has two younger brothers, one is called Mao Ku, one is called Mao Zhi. Originally are in the officialdom, in the Mao Ying has not disappeared before, they heard that the elder brother Mao Ying cultivation has been successful, when the two official career and less than desired, so they do not travel thousands of miles, to run to the Jiuqu Mountain, followed by the elder brother Mao Ying cultivation of Taoist law, together for the people to treat the sick and save the poor, in the Mao Ying disappeared not long after the Mao solid and the Mao Zhi two brothers have suddenly disappeared, the local people thought that the two brothers have been The local people thought that these two brothers had also accomplished their mission and ascended to immortality. In order to commemorate the merits of the three Mao brothers, the people changed Jiuqu Mountain into 'Sanmao Mountain', or 'Mao Mountain' for short."
Saying this, the white-haired old man suddenly paused and looked at Wu Feng who was on the side, faintly asking, "Now you know the origin of the Maoshan lineage, right?"
Wu Feng nodded, but was still a bit confused, so he asked, "Old man, listening to you, the sentiment is that the Maoshan lineage was created by these three Maoshan brothers, so the three of them must have taken in quite a number of disciples as well, and that's how they were able to let the Maoshan lineage flourish and carry on the legacy to this day."
"At that time, the three Mao brothers were extremely famous, so naturally there were many disciples, however, these disciples only learned a little bit of the three brothers' skins, and by now, they don't know what they've spoiled into." The white-haired old man said without regret.
Wu Feng looked at this look on the white-haired old man's face, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, he opened his mouth, but still didn't say a single word.
Both of them were silent for a while, the white-haired old man suddenly asked again, "Young man, do you believe that the three Mao brothers have attained immortality?"
Wu Feng touched his head, thought for a while, and hesitantly said, "Who knows, I think since the three Mao brothers have the ability to create the Maoshan lineage, it must be that the Dao is so profound that it is unimaginable, and it is really possible that they have attained immortality. However, according to me, there are no immortals in this world, if there are really immortals, they should save the people from fire and water, now the world is in chaos, war everywhere, many people die every day, how come there are no immortals to manage a tube?"
Hearing Wu Feng say so, that white-haired old man suddenly let out a loud laugh, all the white hair once again trembled, he touched Wu Feng's head, and said loudly, "This world's cultivators, all for the sake of a purpose to achieve immortality, but not as thorough as a brat like you, you're right, that the three brothers of the Mao Clan indeed did not achieve immortality, but none of them have truly died."
Wu Feng froze for a moment and stood up violently, sizing up the old white haired man with an incredulous look and asked in a trembling voice, "What do you …… mean by that?"
