Chapter 3: Ten Years in a Hurry
In fact, as a six-year-old. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info I don't know what monasticism means. This level of disciple is called a Taoist child. Of course, as a modern Taoist child, you don't have to serve the elders in the door and do chores for the teacher as before. At this age, the only task of a Taoist child is to go to primary school. As Grandpa Chen said, with Brother Jiu, life is a little better. At the orphanage, I had a dollar of pocket money every week. And Brother Jiu will give me a hundred yuan every week. Of course, three meals a day and the fare to school are all included. At first, Brother Jiu didn't care much about me. And I don't care much about Brother Jiu.
Until one time, when I was sleeping in class, I was caught by the head teacher and asked to see my parents. The ninth brother was called to school. After being told by my aunt's homeroom teacher, when I came back, Brother Jiu punished me for copying the Tao Te Ching all night. Of course, I didn't copy it for a night that night, I only copied it for more than two hours, and Brother Jiu, who had already been sleeping, was shouting for an hour: "Master, don't." After that, he said to me with a smile on his face, "Eleven, you go to bed quickly." Children who don't get enough sleep can stunt. Next time I want to sleep, tell Brother Jiu that we won't go to school. ”
Actually, I can't blame me for sleeping in class. Although the cultivation of modern Taoists is not as rigorous as before, they have to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning to meditate, and in the evening they have to study various Taoist introductory classics. For a six-year-old, it's still a bit difficult.
After that time, I didn't act recklessly. It's not that I have a high level of ideological awareness, but it says on TV that if a person is sleep deprived for a long time and often has nightmares, it can lead to psychosis. Seriously, I still prefer the normal Nine Brothers. Although as a playmate, Brother Jiu is not as good as the uncle next door. However, the money given by the uncle next door can't be used, but the money of the ninth brother can be used.
After finishing preschool at the primary school introduced by Grandpa Chen, Brother Jiu transferred me to a private primary school. Although I am quite reluctant to meet the children who have just met. But I can quite understand Brother Jiu. The main reason is that my aunt's homeroom teacher is too good at tossing. I have to see my parents at every turn. Every time he met his parents, Brother Jiu would be beaten. After being finished, Brother Jiu couldn't help but punish me. Every time I was punished, Brother Jiu would shout when he slept at night: Master don't want it.
The private elementary school I transferred to not only had high tuition fees, but also required an intelligence test before enrolling. After the test, the good-looking big sister class teacher pulled the ninth brother into the office and chatted alone for more than an hour. After coming out, Brother Jiu touched my head like a spring breeze and said, "Eleven, you can toss it casually in the future." It's best to let the homeroom teacher see the parents every day, you know. ”
When I look at this ninth brother, I can't help but be a little worried. Has Brother Jiu been tossed out of mental illness by my aunt's homeroom teacher? That's not going to work. From then on, I secretly resolved to study hard. I can't let Brother Jiu see his parents anymore.
Later, Brother Jiu told me that my eldest sister's homeroom teacher told him that my IQ was 140, and although I was not super smart, my memory was very good, and I could almost say that I could never forget it. Brother Jiu said to me, although my physique is not the best physique suitable for cultivation. However, at least I'm smart, and I can take a lot fewer curves than ordinary people in the path.
That's it, six years. On the day of the elementary school graduation ceremony, Brother Jiu finally met the head teacher of the big sister again. It's just that the big sister head teacher is already married. Brother Jiu looked at me with resentful eyes and said, "Eleven, in your six years of elementary school, the head teacher didn't let you see your parents once. I won't be allowed to come to the parent-teacher conference. You see, your big sister homeroom teacher ran away with someone else like this. ”
I nodded proudly and said, "Brother Jiu, the eldest sister said that I studied well and took the first place in the exam every year, and I am a good child who is sensible." Every time I have a parent-teacher conference, I tell me that if you're busy, you don't have to come. I think you're busy, so I didn't let you come. ”
After listening to what I said, Brother Jiu looked at me with tears in his eyes. I know, Brother Jiu is excited. Because I'm finally growing up and sensible. I smiled and said to Brother Jiu, "Brother Jiu, don't worry. In the future, you will be busy with yours, and you don't have to worry about my studies. ”
During the summer vacation of sixth grade, three things happened.
First of all, I passed the Taoist exam and officially became a Taoist student. If you become a Taoist student, you are eligible to enter the archives of the sect. The Daoist exam is not difficult, it just tests some basic Dao knowledge, and does not involve any spells and spells. So, as long as the intelligence is normal, you can pass.
The second thing is that Brother Jiu's Treasure Zhai has opened. As a Taoist priest, Brother Jiu is subsidized every month. And you can get a lot of bonuses every time you participate in a mission. In addition, Brother Jiu is young and promising, and he has also saved a lot of money over the years. He opened an antique shop. According to Brother Jiu, this Taoist priest opened a shop, opened a paper shop fortune-telling stall with little money, opened a Taoist hall with a little money, and opened an antique shop if he had a little money. As for the rich, naturally they don't do anything.
The third thing is that Brother Jiu accepted two more apprentices. They are twins. is about the same age as me, the eldest brother is called Li Daniu, and the younger brother is called Li Erhu. Speaking of which, their grandfather used to be a famous underworld big brother in Sancai City. In the early years, I was saved by my ancestor, and I promised to send my grandson to my ancestor to cultivate and accumulate virtue in the future. Naturally, my ancestor didn't care. It was only by chance that their grandfather learned that Brother Jiu was the apprentice of Shizu and was in Sancai City. He sent his two grandsons to the Nine Brothers to cultivate.
Speaking of which, my two junior disciples are really good seedlings of cultivation. They are all positive yang bodies, although they are not Dragon Boat Festival positive yang bodies. However, it is a more rare twin positive yang body. Therefore, Brother Jiu only shouted "Master don't want it" for one night and accepted the two of them. By the way, the master and ancestor are also progressing together. It's no longer a dinosaur. Instead, it began to mutate.
In this way, the originally somewhat ordinary life became a little different because of the two junior brothers of Da Niu and Erhu. For example, someone accompanied me to watch Brother Jiu shout in the middle of the night: "Master, don't." ”
My junior high school was in Sancai City's key middle school, Sancai City No. 1 Middle School, Da Niu and Erhu, who were also admitted as sports students.
Life in junior high school was a bit uneventful. Brother Jiu also began to go out frequently to perform tasks, mainly because I was already in junior high school, and he couldn't excuse himself from taking care of his apprentices at home. And I, on the other hand, read books during the day and cultivate at night. When you are on vacation, you can take a look at the most famous but notoriously unopened treasure house in Sancai City. It's the big bull and the second tiger, because they live with me and Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu doesn't have time to take care of them, and I don't care much about them, so they are addicted to online games.
After three years, Da Niu and Erhu finally passed the exam and became Taoist students. The Taoist exam can be taken as long as you are at least 12 years old, and you can pass it before the age of 16. Not surprisingly, the three of us entered the same high school, Sancai City No. 1 High School.
Generally speaking, in the past three years, I, including the big bull and the tiger, have not carried out a mission alone. The main thing is to follow Brother Jiu to fight. Sometimes it is clear that Brother Jiu can solve things alone, but he always asks us to move a lot of props to follow. Brother Jiu said that if the battle is bigger, the price can be charged a little higher. Of course, for those who don't have money, as long as they come to the door, Jiu Ge will also help. In the words of Brother Jiu, if you don't have money, you won't take money, and if you meet rich, you will charge more. Taoist priests are also human beings, and they also have to eat.

Twin Zhengyang Body: One of the rare monastic physiques. Twins are the aura of heaven and earth, and the twins have the same mind and action. It is an excellent physique for cultivating physical arts. The power of the Dao technique performed by the combined efforts of the twin positive yang bodies can exceed that of people of the same cultivation level by several times.
Dao Tong and Dao Sheng: Dao Tong does not need to take an exam, only needs to complete the apprenticeship ceremony. The Taoist examination can be taken by Taoist children who have reached the age of twelve, and if they cannot pass it before the age of sixteen, they will not be able to cultivate the Tao again for the rest of their lives.
Zhenbao Zhai: An antique shop opened by Brother Jiu. Its main purpose is not to make money, but to collect some prop books that will help in the cultivation of Taoism.
