Waste Paper Bridge
Chapter 78 Reunderstanding the Original Purpose Sect
"Speaking of the Bai family massacre eight years ago, it also seems to be related to the Original Decree Church."
"And the Original Decree Church is a well-known evil cult, but the books that record its details are mostly forbidden books. I don't know much about the Original Decree Church." On the way to the Mo family's residence, Ye Chuxiao didn't idle, constantly asking Jin San娘 for advice.
The bloody case eight years ago, and the similar bloody case that happened on the Han River last night, both seemed to be related to the Original Decree Church. It was very reasonable for Ye Chuxiao to inquire about the Original Decree Church at this time.
Similarly, if Corpse Mountain Old Man was watching in the dark, he might be very happy to see Ye Chuxiao and Jin San娘 focus their attention on the Original Decree Church.
This might be his purpose.
After all, if the tragedy discovered last night was identified as being committed by the Original Decree Church, then the imperial court would surely launch a new round of storms to eliminate the 'Original Decree Church.'
Although the Original Decree Church is a must-kill and must-investigate target of the imperial court, the strength of the means and the amount of human resources invested still vary greatly under different circumstances.
Ye Chuxiao, as the head of the Ministry of Justice prison, knows this very well.
Currently, there are not many evil cults and demonic figures from the Original Decree Church in the prison.
The few that are there were imprisoned a long time ago.
Although Cui Yu usually provides information and explanations in the team, this doesn't mean that Jin San娘, the Golden Badge Constable, is ignorant of many things.
She might even know some of the more sensitive information in more detail than Cui Yu.
"Now that you're a Silver Badge Constable of the Six Doors, you have the authority to apply to enter the archive library and access most of the data."
"To be a good constable, information mastery is also key. After returning to Shenjing, remember to take the time to look at it. Even with Cui Yu around, you can't lack accumulation and knowledge in this area." Jin San娘 first gave Ye Chuxiao a few words of advice before turning to the main topic.
"The Original Decree Church venerates the Feather God Cult Master, and the Feather God Cult Master also has different names in different worlds. I don't need to tell you the details now, after all, there is no direct connection between the Original Decree Church and the Feather God Cult Master."
This piece of information was repetitive for Ye Chuxiao.
He had learned it before.
But he didn't interrupt.
"And the Original Decree Church is rumored to have originated from Wang Daolin and Chu Sui, who are respectively revered as 'Dao Transmission Ancestor' and 'Dao Origin Ancestor,' which formed the two major factions of the Original Decree Church in the beginning."
"If you want to understand the Original Decree Church, you must know the original intention of the Original Decree Church's founding."
"The core doctrine of the Original Decree Church is 'to pursue the original purpose of all thoughts and spirits,' which is the essence of all things and living beings. Because in the heavens and the worlds, all cultivators will deviate from their original intentions and gradually become not themselves in the process of cultivation. The Original Decree Church initially aimed to band together for warmth, maintain their true selves and preserve their original essence by exchanging information between different realms."
"However, in the process of development and growth, too much selfishness and ambition were mixed in, thus gradually changing the original intention, or rather... enlarging the original intention."
Speaking of this, Jin San娘 seemed worried that her explanation would make Ye Chuxiao feel favorably towards the Original Decree Church, so she quickly added, "You can understand the changes in the Original Decree Church this way: initially, some people believed that drinking an extra bowl of water every morning would be better for the body, so they gathered together, formed a collective, and exchanged ideas while drinking water together."
"But over time, some of them began to target and force more people to drink that harmless bowl of water in the morning, even those who were unwilling to do so."
"After that, they began to persecute, oppress, drive, and kill some people who were unwilling to drink water in the morning in the name of some more ethereal things, and regard them as heretics."
"Under radical development, the original kindness became the greatest malice, and the original beautiful intention became ugly and evil."
Ye Chuxiao nodded upon hearing this, and cooperated by saying, "Don't worry, Sister Jin, no matter what the original intention and core doctrine of a sect are, these are all illusory. The standard for truly evaluating whether they are just is always their current actions."
Jin San娘 said, "That's right, the fact that you have this idea shows that you are very mature."
Ye Chuxiao smiled shyly and said, "Sister Jin, you're joking again. You haven't even seen it, how can you say I'm mature? It will cause misunderstandings!"
Jin San娘 said, "Then, would you like Sister Jin to see it tonight? To give you another ripening? To let you come to fruition?"
At this time, Jin San娘 was galloping on horseback, and under her flying skirt, on her slender and sturdy thighs, was a circle of flying knives.
The flying knives were tightly strapped to her thighs by leather clips, occasionally flashing with a sharp, cold light.
"Next time! I'll find a chance to talk about it next time."
"It's important to do business now." Ye Chuxiao changed the subject.
Moderate joking is to adjust emotions; going too far is not okay.
Before long, the Mo family's residence arrived.
In comparison, the Mo family's residence was equivalent to a medium-sized village built next to Dingchun City. Even before entering, from the hillside, one could see the Chun Jin (Spring Brocade) hanging high all over the mountains and plains.
Chun Jin is characterized by colorful strips and colorful stripes, just like the blossoming of hundreds of flowers in spring.
And the most magical thing is the special runes secretly hidden in the flower patterns by the embroiderers' flying needles.
These runes will absorb the sunlight and the aura of flowers, plants, and trees, making the person who wears or covers themselves with Chun Jin feel as if they are in the boundless bright spring.
Because these Chun Jin need to be dried for a long time before they are completely formed, and they need to accurately avoid every drop of rain and dew to avoid dampness and change, they can often be seen spread out, covering the mountains and plains, when the weather is sunny and breezy.
Only a place like Dingchun City, where spring is like all year round, can produce such magical fabrics like Chun Jin for a long time.
Ye Chuxiao and Jin San娘 were dressed in the Six Doors uniform, and the gold and silver badges on their bodies were particularly eye-catching.
Before long, someone came to report, and the Mo family member in charge came to greet them.
"I am Mo Feifan, an elder of the Mo family. May I ask what brings the two officials here?" The elder who greeted them didn't have much welcome in his tone.
This was inevitable, after all, the Six Doors was not a place for inviting guests to dinner.
Naturally, the constables of the Six Doors were not very popular outside.
Especially recently, the Six Doors' finances had been in dire straits, which inevitably made some constables turn their attention to the local wealthy households.
They would often find some excuses to come to the door to mooch.
"Just a routine inquiry. By order of the Son of Heaven, the Six Doors is investigating trans界者 (cross-border travelers) all over the world, compiling and registering them to appease the people."
"The Mo family is a prominent family in Hedong. I wonder if there are any trans界者 (cross-border travelers)?" Jin San娘 asked very skillfully.
Mo Feifan frowned upon hearing this, and then said perfunctorily, "How would we know about this? Even if they are trans界者 (cross-border travelers), they have already fabricated their identities and concealed their origins. How can we distinguish them if they don't take the initiative to stand up?"
"Officials should not make things difficult for us ordinary people."
As he spoke, more than a dozen young and strong Mo family cultivators gathered around, looking unfriendly.
Jin San娘 raised her eyebrows and was about to reprimand them.
Ye Chuxiao preemptively said, "We two are not here to mooch along the way, but just to conduct a routine inspection. Even if the Mo family really has trans界者 (cross-border travelers), as long as they have not committed any crimes or harmed the people, we will not pursue it."
As soon as these words came out, the Mo family elder's expression improved a lot. Although he still looked like he didn't welcome Ye Chuxiao and Jin San娘, he no longer spoke harshly.
"Since that's the case, then please come inside, have a cup of tea, and then investigate carefully!" Mo Feifan said.
