Chapter 44: Respecting the Teacher, Worshipping the Teacher (Part II)
"Come, put it here, yes, on the other side of the yard. ”
Ning Fang completely regarded the bodyguards as porters, and was directing them to put away the things they brought one by one.
Xu Huai saw it, and he didn't care, although he may not be able to use it, but this is also their intention, and accepting it is also a kind of respect.
Shanghai is also thousands of miles away from the Kunlun Mountains, even if you take a plane and change trains halfway, it takes a lot of effort.
Xu Huai has those things in the gifts, but the attitude that these gifts bring.
Invite the people into the house,
Xu Huai got busy and made a cup of tea for everyone,
As the saying goes: "Those who come are guests, and I will invite them!"
"Come here, Shu Xue, I'll introduce you!" Xu Huaixiang Ning Shuxue, who was standing on the side, beckoned her to come here.
"Well, Master!" Ning Shuxue responded and walked over.
"This is my grandfather, the elder of the family, you call the grandfather, the Taoist name Yuxuzi, the master of the Baiyun Temple, this time, it is under the witness of the grandfather, to complete the apprenticeship!" Xu Huai said slowly.
"Hello grandpa!" Ning Shuxue shouted to Lao Dao, who was sitting in the first place.
"Well, okay, you girl, your qualifications are not bad, better than this stinky boy, you will be a good student in the future, you must not be ambitious, you must be down-to-earth, step by step, this can go to a higher level.........
Ning Shuxue nodded, indicating that she already knew.
At this time, Ning Fang's appearance was calm, but his heart set off stormy waves, like a small boat, walking in the sea of terrifying waves.
No wonder when he first entered the door, he felt that Lao Dao was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he was not very familiar.
Finally, when Xu Huai said the old Taoist number, Ning Fangguo remembered, and this time, he was really shocked.
Jade Xuzi!
The Jade Void Master of Baiyun Temple!
It was really unexpected, he didn't expect to meet this legendary person here.
Before, Ning Fangguo traveled almost all over Huaguo in order to ask his daughter to be cured, and some friends suggested to him that he go to Baiyun to watch and see if he could meet Master Yuxu, maybe he had a way.
At that time, Ning Fangguo was eager to seek medical treatment, and immediately rushed to Baiyunguan with his wife and children.
However, as we all know, Master Yuxu, the master of Baiyun Guanguan, is a master outside the world, and often travels the world, 365 days a year, and almost 360 days are not in the temple.
After waiting for a month, Ning Fangguo finally gave up and looked for other ways.
In the end, the old doctor Fang Qiubai said those words: "If you want to save your daughter, I'm afraid only the one on Kunlun Mountain will make a move!"
"Old Ning, what's wrong?" Chu Yue, who was standing beside Ning Fangguo, seemed to notice something strange and asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that when I went up the mountain, I walked so many miles and my legs were a little sore. ”
Ning Fangguo casually prevaricated with a sentence, here, it is inconvenient to say such a thing, and when he is in private, he will talk to him.
After a while, Ning Fang's heart slowly regained his calm, as a powerful Ning Bancheng, he still has this bit of a city.
"Master, what about Xiaoxian, why didn't you see her?" Ning Shuxue walked around the room for most of the time, didn't find the little girl, turned around, and asked Xu Huai.
"She, I don't know where she is at the bottom of the mountain, and her group of friends are looking for others to ask for red envelopes!"
Xu Huai listened and replied with a smile.
"I guess she'll be back in the afternoon!"
"Are you ready to prepare the things for apprenticeship?" asked Xu Huai.
"Bring it! it's all in your bag!" Ning Shuxue replied.
Chinese people respect the teacher, is a long-standing tradition, so the Zhou Dynasty has the ceremony of releasing the teacher, in the worship ceremony, the disciple needs to give the teacher or the master the six rites of the bundle of cultivation, also known as the six rites of the bundle.
This means that a new disciple is required to perform the rites of discipleship and give six kinds of gifts to the teacher or master.
That is, celery (meaning diligent and studious, good at diligence),
Lotus seed (lotus seed heart bitter, meaning painstaking education),
Red beans (meaning red luck and high light),
Red dates (meaning early high school),
Longan (meaning the completion of merit),
Dried lean pork strips (to express the disciple's heart).
Then, Lao Dao spoke:
"At noon, the apprenticeship ceremony officially begins!"
In the first place, the old way is dignified and serious, no longer the kindness and gentleness just now, looking at it from a distance, it has a majestic momentum.
"What's going on, second brother, what's the situation with the boss? Miss, why do you still have to apprentice?"
When the bodyguard brother standing next to him saw it, he looked surprised, and muttered to another bodyguard who was standing next to him and had already been here last time!
"Shut up, it's not something you should know, just look at it with your eyes, don't talk nonsense!!"
The bodyguard, who was called Second Brother, let out a low shout and stopped talking.
Suddenly, the bodyguard immediately closed his mouth like a mouse seeing a cat, and stood there silently.
"Maybe it's time to adjust the team when you go back, the boss's affairs still have to be kept secret, and those who talk a lot are better to be dismissed as soon as possible to save trouble in the future!!" the bodyguard named Second Brother thought to himself.
Half-ringing, the time has come, and the old Tao said:
The ancients said: "The parents who gave birth to me, the master who taught me", "Casting a teacher is like reincarnation"!
In ancient times, the master was equal to the parents, and even, in some industries, more important than the parents, so it is natural that the establishment of such a significant relationship needs to be confirmed and protected by solemn customs and etiquette.
Even now, when the culture is open, we cannot abandon traditional customs and break the rules.
The Xu family, is a thousand-year-old family, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, has been passed down to the present, has never broken the incense, so far it has a history of more than 3,000 years, in thousands of years of turmoil, several branches have been separated, but our vein is the main vein!
Therefore, in such a family, the apprenticeship will be even more important!"
Lao Dao was serious and solemn, slowly introducing the apprenticeship ceremony and the history of the Xu family, and seemed to spit out word by word, which seemed to be particularly important.
There is no way, Lao Dao understands in his heart that Grandpa Xu Huai passed away a few years ago, and now he is the only one who can handle such etiquette for him.
Even if the patriarchs of other clans came over in person, they would not be able to preside over such a ceremony for Xu Huai.
The branch veins and the main veins are fundamentally different from each other in terms of generation, and they are very different.
Even if a child is just born in the main mai, his generation is also higher than the gray-haired and old-fashioned old man!
Therefore, Lao Dao must take care of the last pass for his friends and his friends' families.
You must know that there are just as many incidents of disciple infidelity recorded in the Taoist scriptures!!
