Chapter 860: Apprenticeship or not
In the main hall, there are sixteen and one meter long candles on both sides, and these candles are still inserted on the iron frame, as if there are sixteen people standing on both sides with torches, which is very neat and solemn.
In the past, these candles were two wooden pillars, and on the wooden pillars were pasted a pair of book couplets, which read: Life is only cautious, seven capture the south, six go out to the north, what period five zhang collapse, nine expeditions can obey the teaching
The next link is: ten times the glory of the lotus, the eight formations of fame, the two Sichuan blessings, the elite of the Quartet, and the three-point merit must belong to the father
As soon as he saw this couplet, Qin Yu knew that it was Mr. Wolong, and the allusions in the couplet were all from Mr. Wolong.
And directly above the hall, there is a desk, on the desk, there is a portrait, in the portrait, a middle-aged man in white clothes, wearing a scarf, standing on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance with a smile, this man is none other than Mr. Wolong.
"Young master, the last time the old master came to my Xu family with a wisp of soul, he once left a message for me to tell the young master. β
Xu Yan, who followed Qin Yu into the walk-in, looked at Mr. Wolong on the portrait, and said to Qin Yu in a solemn tone: "The old master said: "The original inheritance is meant by chance, but chance is an accident, I believe that with the wisdom of Xiaoyou, I have also seen some eyebrows, my original move is also helpless, if Xiaoyou is unwilling to accept, you can also leave, and it will not interfere with Xiaoyou's life in the future."
"Although Xiaoyou and I have a part of the inheritance, in fact, there is no name of master and apprentice, if Xiaoyou is unwilling to accept, I will not blame, but if Xiaoyou and I have a master-apprentice relationship, you can practice master-apprentice etiquette in my portrait, the pros and cons, Xiaoyou think about it by himself......"
Xu Yan relayed Mr. Wolong's original words to Qin Yu word by word, but after Qin Yu heard it, he fell into silence.
"Young master, the old master has explained, let you make a choice after thinking alone, and don't be influenced by the outside world. So I walked away. β
Xu Yan said to Qin Yu, slowly exited the main hall, and closed the door softly, with the elders of the Xu family. Standing at the door together and waiting for Qin Yu's decision.
Mr. Wolong's words were only known to Xu Yan alone, so these elders of the Xu family all looked at him with puzzled eyes when they saw the family patriarch withdrawing.
"Silence, wait for the young master to make a decision. I'll tell you about it again. Xu Yan made a gesture of silence, and these elders of the Xu family held back their doubts and did not ask.
In the hall, Qin Yu looked at the portrait of Mr. Wolong in front of him, looking at Mr. Wolong's kind smile, Mr. Wolong at this time was like a father, looking at him with loving eyes, as if encouraging Qin Yu to say: "According to your heart, make your choice." β
And Qin Yu was also caught in the battle between heaven and man at this time, and he fully understood the meaning of the words that Mr. Wolong entrusted the Xu family to convey to him. When he got the inheritance of Mr. Wolong in Zhuge Lu, it was completely a chance, not Mr. Wolong's choice of him, if there are other people like him, walking in front of the stone tablet, it will also stimulate the inheritance at the right time, it can be said that obtaining Zhuge Neijing is his own chance, and Mr. Wolong has nothing to do with it.
Other than that. Mr. Wolong's words also reveal another meaning, the sentence "will not interfere with the life of the little friend in the future" refers to Mr. Wolong's layout.
If you don't plan to recognize Mr. Wolong as a teacher, then Mr. Wolong's layout will no longer have anything to do with you, and from now on, things related to the cyan stone gate will not be related to you. As long as you don't take the initiative to touch it.
To be honest, if it weren't for the epiphany in Wajia Village the day before yesterday, when he heard this, Qin Yu would not hesitate to choose to say goodbye to this whirlpool, because the places involved in the cyan stone gate are too wide, and the people and forces related to the cyan stone gate. Any one can crush him, Qin Yu just wants to live his life safely with the people he likes and his relatives.
But the epiphany in Wajia Village made Qin Yu understand that some things cannot be solved by dodging and turning a blind eye, there is no free lunch in this world, and he got Zhuge Neijing and became a genius that everyone in the metaphysical world envies, but he doesn't want to pay a little, how is this possible?
Wealth and wealth are in danger, and the old saying has made these truths very clear.
Moreover, if it weren't for Mr. Wolong's Zhuge Neijing, Qin Yu wouldn't dare to imagine what his current life would be like, whether it was to work from 9 to 5 in a certain company, or to win Meng Yao and then be beaten by Meng Yao's brother to beat the mandarin duck?
If there is no Zhuge Neijing, the above things can happen, it can be said that Zhuge Neijing is the starting point that changed his fate.
And if he just walked away, what difference would it be with those ungrateful villains?
Looking at the portrait of Mr. Wolong, Qin Yu suddenly felt a lot of pride in his heart, since Mr. Wolong is not afraid and has spent thousands of years to lay out, then why can't he accompany Mr. Wolong to gamble, and Qin Yu believes that in addition to Mr. Wolong, there are also some other people who are also involved in it.
The old Taoist when the cyan stone gate appeared, the white man who came out of the grave, and the Xu family...... It's not that Mr. Wolong is fighting alone, and I'm not alone.
"Mr. Wolong, let our master and apprentice come together. β
Qin Yu glanced at the portrait with shining eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, he didn't look back, and said directly aloud: "Patriarch Xu, I've already thought about it." β
Xu Yan, who was standing outside the door and waiting, heard Qin Yu's voice in the main hall, his expression was shocked, and he hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in.
"Young Master, have you decided?" asked Xu Yan with some uncertainty.
Xu Yan didn't understand the words left by the old master, but he knew that the young master and the old master did not have the real name of master and apprentice, although he didn't know why there was no name of master and apprentice, and the young master would get the inheritance of the old master, but the secret of this was not what he should care about, what he was concerned about now was whether the young master was willing to worship the old master as a teacher.
"Patriarch Xu, I want to ask, what etiquette does this apprentice have?" Qin Yu turned his head and asked with a smile at Xu Yan.
"Young master, have you thought about it?" Hearing Qin Yu's words, Xu Yan's face showed joy and asked again.
"Well, I decided. β
"Haha, it's really good, the old master will be very relieved when he finds out. Xu Yan couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, he became serious again, and replied seriously:
"This apprenticeship ceremony is not very complicated, the young master only needs to kneel under the portrait of the old master and perform the apprenticeship ceremony. β
"yes, I see. β
Qin Yu nodded, if you follow the ancient apprenticeship etiquette, there will be a set of cumbersome procedures, first to worship the portrait of the ancestor and the patriarch, and then to perform three kneels and nine bows like the master, and also to send six ceremonies to cultivate, and then the master will read out the door rules, and finally lead the disciples to worship the patriarch, so that a set of procedures can be regarded as completing the apprenticeship etiquette.
Metaphysics, belongs to the traditional cultural industry in China, and all traditional cultural industries, the metaphysical community pays more attention to the apprenticeship etiquette, only after passing the apprenticeship etiquette, can it be called "entering the room", the real inheritance of the torch, and those who have not performed the apprenticeship can only be regarded as "registered disciples".
If you need to learn from others, you can also apprentice, but that is called Mr. Bai, also called a teacher, but there can only be one teacher who inherits the torch, and there can be more than one Mr. who "learns from all families", whether it is a teacher or a teacher, the disciple must be called a master.
"Young master, the old master said, if you want to apprentice, you only need to insert three incense sticks in front of his portrait, and you don't need to worship the ancestor. β
After Xu Yan finished speaking, he picked up three incense sticks from the desk on the side, lit them and handed them to Qin Yu, Qin Yu took the incense, stood in front of the portrait with a solemn expression, and bowed respectfully three times before inserting the incense into the incense burner on the desk.
Then, with his upright legs bent, he knelt in front of the portrait and kowtowed meticulously according to the apprenticeship ceremony.
You must know that the traditional way of kneeling and worshipping is divided into nine bows: "one is called Jishou, two is called Dun Shou, three is empty head, four is vibration, five is auspicious worship, six is fierce worship, seven is Qi worship, eight is praise worship, and nine is solemn worship." β
Ji Shou is the most respectful and heaviest of the nine worships, and Qin Yu is the Ji Shou at this time.
Kneel on the knee, with your left hand on top of your right hand, and then slowly drop your head on the ground, keeping your hands in front of your knees and your head behind for a while.
After nine consecutive bows, Qin Yu stood up, Xu Yan looked at Qin Yu with a smile, and said: "Young master, according to the old master's instructions, after performing the apprenticeship ceremony, let me go to a place for you, and you come with me." β
"Go to a place?" Qin Yuhu glanced at Xu Yan suspiciously, but didn't say much, followed Xu Yan out of the main hall, and a large group of people surrounded him to the backyard.
"Young master, passing through this bamboo forest is the place where the old master explained, but the ancestors of my Xu family have family rules, and the disciples of the Xu family are not allowed to cross this bamboo forest, so they can only trouble the young master to go alone. Xu Yan pointed to a bamboo forest in front of him and explained to Qin Yu.
"Hmm. β
Qin Yu didn't say anything more, stared at the bamboo forest for a while, and walked directly towards the bamboo forest path, while Xu Yan and his party stood at the mouth of the bamboo forest, silently watching Qin Yu's departing back.
"Our Xu family has guarded things for nearly a thousand years, and now they are finally returning to their original owners, which is really inexplicable. A Xu family elder sighed.
Compared with these old people, the young people of the Xu family are full of curiosity in their eyes, this bamboo forest, since they are sensible, they know that this is the forbidden place of the Xu family, if the disciples of the Xu family dare to break into the bamboo forest without permission, they will be directly expelled from the Xu family, so these young people don't know what is behind the bamboo forest?
PS: What is behind the bamboo forest? I don't know about the nine lights, so I'll wait for the nine lights to think about itγγγγγ (To be continued.) )
