Chapter 193: Formal Introduction
Qingshan Zhenren looked at Wu Lai who was in a daze on the side, and couldn't help but say with some surprise: "Ahem, this ...... Senior brother, these fellow disciples of ours practice in the deep mountains all year round, and rarely have the opportunity to go out of the mountains to enjoy the worldly delicacies, so every time the senior brother comes back from the mountain, he always brings them some food that cannot be seen on the mountain, but there are many disciples in the mountains, and the ones they bring are limited after all, so these unproductive guys are often like hungry wolves, in fact, everyone is usually very harmonious, junior brother, you slowly get used to it! ”
Wu Lai looked at the dilapidated appearance around here, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Alas, I'm afraid that I was fooled into getting on the thief ship by Qingshan Zhenren, this Zixia Guan is estimated to be too poor, look at the disciples of the Youquanmen, all of them are brightly dressed and rich, if it weren't for the Youquanmen's style of acting that really doesn't match his own, it would be better to mess around in the Youquanmen!" ”
However, now, I have arrived in front of Zixia Temple at this time, I can't even go to the door, just turn around and leave, after all, I have the same smell as Qingshan real people these days, and I am really good to myself, although the three or four people are old-fashioned, but they are quite good, they can't be too unkind, so let's stay down and take a look, if it's really not good, it's not too late to find a way to leave!
Thinking of this, Wu Lai nodded and said, "Okay, if you come, you will be safe, senior brother, you should take me to the old man's house first!" ”
Qingshan Zhenren was naturally very happy to see that Wu Lai no longer mentioned leaving, and immediately pointed to the largest thatched house in front of him and said: "This is the main hall of our Zixia Temple, the master and his old man usually meditate in the main hall, let's go in!" ”
Wu Lai looked at the "big hall" in front of him that seemed to be collapsing, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "It's really a 'big' hall!" ”
With the "squeak" of Qingshan Zhenren pushed away the firewood in the main hall, the dust was sprinkled one after another, Qingshan Zhenren seemed to have expected this result, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he flashed aside, and Qingshan Zhenren was holding a box of "Mrs. Kang" instant noodles and hid far behind, only Wu Lai, who didn't know the situation, was made disgraced by the dust sprinkled one after another. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Damn, senior brother, is this a place for people to live?" Wu Lai squinted his eyes and patted the dust on his shoulder, he couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help complaining.
As soon as Wu Lai's voice fell, he felt that a shadow seemed to flash in front of him, and he felt that a breeze seemed to be blowing around him, and he was about to retreat in shock. The wind next to him rose again, and someone gently patted him on the shoulder, and suddenly remembered a joking voice in his ear: "Hehe, boy, good qualifications!" But Master Dao, I am a human being, and this is naturally a place where people live! ”
"Who?" Wu Lai was shocked, cold sweat trickled down his back, as a martial artist of the Innate Perfection Realm, ordinary people could not get close to him silently, and it was obvious that this person himself could not catch the shadow of the other party, if he was malicious, his life would be gone!
"Haha! Boy, not small, not very brave! There was a burst of laughter in the thatched hut, Wu Lai followed the sound, but saw that there was a figure in the front of the thatched hut at some point, sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking at himself with a smile, but there was an extra box of "Mrs. Kang" instant noodles in his arms.
Wu Lai was suddenly shocked, and when he looked back, he found that the box of instant noodles in the hands of the three or four people was gone, and it was obvious that the strange person sitting in the room just now passed by him, got the instant noodles from the hands of the three or four people, and then swept back, patted himself on the shoulder on the way, and left a sentence in his ear!
This is simply a ghostly body, Wu Lai looked at the person in front of him, his face was full of wrinkles, he didn't know how old he was, he still had a goatee under his chin, he was wearing an earthy yellow robe, and his hands holding the instant noodle box were like dry branches, skinny, and he was looking at his own smile at this time, although his expression was a little bantering, but Wu Lai could see that the other party was not malicious, but faintly kind.
"Senior brother, the old man was joking with you just now, why don't you hurry up and meet the master!" Aoyama Majin hurriedly reminded behind him.
And Qingshan Zhenren himself had already knelt on the ground with three or four Taoist people, and respectfully shouted in unison: "The master (ancestor) is above, and he is worshiped by the apprentice (apprentice grandson)!" ”
"Master?" Wu Lai reacted at this time, the shriveled old man in front of him didn't look amazing, but this skill is really good, and it is more than enough to be his own master!
Thinking of this, Wu Lai learned from Qingshan Zhenren to bow to the ground, and exclaimed: "The master is above, please accept the apprentice!" ”
"Haha, good apprentice, hurry up!" The thin old Taoist priest laughed, pointed to the futon on the side and said, "Okay, okay, everyone sit down and talk, we don't have to be too formal!" ”
Wu Lai got up at this time, and Qingshan Zhenren pulled a few futons from the side, pulled Wu Lai to sit next to the thin old Taoist, and three or four Daoist people also sat on Qingshan Zhenren's side.
Wu Lai peeked at the things around him, only to see that this thatched house is very empty, the furnishings are also very simple, there are a few futons scattered on the ground, and the walls around are painted white, but it can be seen that the workmanship is very rough, the white brush wall powder in many places has fallen off, revealing the mud embryo inside, in the middle of the thatched house, there is a portrait painting, the painting is a Taoist priest with white hair, wide robe and big sleeves, fluttering like a fairy, holding a whisk of dust in his hand, looking ahead, looking like a fairy wind and bones!
At the base of the wall, there is an incense table, on which there are no offerings, on top of an incense burner, three sticks of incense are rising with green smoke, and next to the incense burner, there are three yellowed scrolls.
Wu Lai looked around, retracted his gaze, and saw that the thin old Taoist priest had already put the box of "Mrs. Kang" instant noodles aside, and was also looking at himself with a smile, but his eyes were bright, and he looked Wu Lai up and down!
"At a young age, he turned out to be a martial artist of the Innate Perfection Realm, which was also an unborn genius in ancient times, no wonder Qingshan has been full of praise since he returned to the mountain last time, it seems that my Zixia Guan Zhongxing is about to fall on you!" The thin old Taoist priest looked at it for a long time, and then said slowly.
Wu Lai knew that the mana of the old Taoist priest in front of him was unfathomable, so he didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly said humbly: "The master has won the prize, and the apprentice is just lucky, although he has reached the congenital perfection realm, but there is no direction of cultivation next, and I ask the master for more guidance!" ”
"Haha! That's nature, Poor Dao No. Qing Xuanzi, Wu Lai, are you really willing to worship under the poor Dao? Qing Xuanzi laughed, but his face suddenly straightened, and he asked seriously.
Wu Lai was stunned by the question, but he turned his head to look at Qingshan Zhenren, who was afraid that Wu Lai would say something to withdraw from Zixia Temple, so he hurriedly glanced at him desperately, meaning that he should quickly agree.
Wu Lai didn't look at Qingshan Zhenren, and looked around at the "hall" of Zixia Temple, but he was a little entangled in his heart, not that he was unwilling to join Zixia Temple, but this Zixia View looked too shabby, but he had already promised Qingshan Zhenren, although he has always regarded himself as a little scoundrel, but people have no faith and do not stand, since he agreed, he can't go back on his word because he dislikes the dilapidated Zixia Temple, this is not his own style of acting!
Thinking of this, Wu Lai also replied with a solemn face: "Master, to be honest, the apprentice didn't know the name of Zixia Guan before, but Senior Brother Qingshan and the apprentice hit it off at first sight, and the apprentice promised Senior Brother Qingshan to join Zixia Temple, and the eldest husband made a promise, so the apprentice naturally would not regret it!" ”
"What a promise, although this kid Qingshan has always been lazy, but this time he finally did a good thing, that's good, Wu Lai, meet the ancestor!" Qing Xuanzi was overjoyed when he heard this, laughed, and pointed to the portrait on the wall behind him.
"It turned out to be the ancestor of Zixia Temple, no wonder it hangs here!" When Wu Lai heard this, he secretly thought to himself, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately turned over and got up, and respectfully knelt down towards the portrait in front of the incense case, and Qing Xuanzi also knelt on one side, and Qingshan Zhenren and the three or four Dao people didn't dare to continue to sit, so they knelt behind Wu Lai.
Qing Xuanzi raised his head and prayed solemnly towards the portrait: "Master Zu is above, the fifty-third generation head of Zixiaguan today accepted the entry of Wu Lai, a native of Yingzhou in the secular world, and specially reported to the ancestor!" ”
After Qing Xuanzi finished speaking, he turned his head and instructed Wu Lai: "Wu Lai, after you kneel three times and bow nine times in front of the portrait of the ancestor master, you can be regarded as having completed the entrance ceremony, that is, my official disciple of Zixia Temple!" ”
When Wu Lai heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, not to mention the shabby Zixia Temple, this entrance ceremony was too simple, when he entered the broken school of Yingzhou Vocational High School, he also held a big opening ceremony!
However, Wu Lai no longer had any other thoughts at this time, and knelt three times and kowtowed to the portrait of the Zixia Guan Patriarch according to his words, and then everyone got up and sat down on the futon again!
Qing Xuanzi then said to Wu Lai: "Wu Lai, you are now a disciple of the poor Dao, there are a total of seventeen disciples in the poor Dao, you are ranked eighteen, Qingshan is ranked seventeenth, and if you don't accept apprentices in the future, you will be a closed disciple!" ”
"Thank you, Master!" Wu Lai said respectfully.
"By the way, you are already a martial artist of the Congenital Consummation Realm, it stands to reason that there should also be a Dao number, our Taoist cultivators are generally divided in this way, the acquired realm is called the Taoist, the innate realm is called the real person, and the one above the Dan period is called the child, you will be called Wu Lai Zhenren in the future!" Qing Xuanzi continued.
