Chapter 50: Worship the Patriarch

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, serve tea and incense, Ah Li worships the ancestor with me. Brother Luan, Xiao Su, Xiao Lin, you testify, Ah Li girl and I have decided to be the first lecturer and apprentice today, and we will have a banquet to celebrate next day! ”

Xu Lao called the nanny to prepare utensils while leading everyone out of the reception area and to the middle of the living room. As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, the decoration of Xu's family is inclined to retro style, and there is a huge mahogany screen about two meters high for Li Shizhen's medicine collection picture as soon as the main hall enters. There is something different from others.

Now into the main hall of the screen partition, only to see that the whole main hall is about forty or fifty square meters of position, the main hall with a mellow wood fragrance, the natural color of the wood, the texture is delicate, the color is soft and the wood is wrapped and inlaid, the wood fragrance lingers, people can't help but calm down and solemnly get up.

Smelling its woody fragrance, the information recognized by instinctive talent gathered in Su Li's mind, this is Hainan Huanghuali in the middle. The furnishings in the hall are simple, two sets of Huanghuali official hat chairs are sitting above, placed on both sides of a Huanghuali table, and four backrest official hat chairs are symmetrically placed on the left and right sides, sandwiched between two square coffee tables.

The most peculiar thing is not the full set of Huanghuali furniture worth millions in the future, but the middle position of the main hall is placed against the wall with a Huanghuali long table, which is used as an offering table, Anji enshrines flowers and fruits, and the incense ash burned out in the incense burner is half full, which can be seen that it is often worshipped.

Directly above the case, there are three portraits of the ancients with their own characteristics, the clothes are rigorous and beautiful, the facial features of the characters have a compassionate look, the one hanging in the middle is a high crown and broad belt, the emperor twelve Yu hangs lightly, obviously has the imperial atmosphere, and the handwriting in the lower right corner of the painting indicates that this is the portrait of the Yellow Emperor. Naturally, hanging on both sides of the Yellow Emperor are not ordinary figures, one is the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, and on one side is the medicine king Sun Simiao, which is the ancestor of people who study Chinese medicine.

Looking around, the resident nanny of the Xu family's villa, Sister-in-law Wu, had already prepared the things that Xu Lao wanted, stood in the right position, and Xu Lao burned incense and bowed to worship.

"The three ancestors are on top, the vicissitudes of life are proof, today the seventeenth generation of the Xu family medical family is here to accept apprentices, this female name is Su Li, Zhong Lingyuxiu, is the eighteenth generation of the Xu family medical mantle heir, since then dedicated to teaching, inheriting the elegance of my medical family!"

Under the guidance of Xu Lao, Su Li bowed and worshipped, took the incense pillar handed by Xu Lao to his hand and found the incense burner on the long table. Then he knelt down on the futon placed by Sister-in-law Wu, and bowed down to worship the ancestor with the instructions of Elder Xu.

"Ah Li, bow down and worship the patriarch!" Turning slightly sideways, Xu Lao's expression was solemn and serious: "In the inheritance of this sect, the Yellow Emperor's internal scripture opened the 5,000-year-old medical tradition of China, and the ancestor Yellow Emperor was the medical emperor; The theory of typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases is the dialectic of my medical Tao, and the ancestor Zhang Zhongjing is a medical saint; Qianjin Fang is a heavy canon for medical Taoism, Sun Simiao and Sun Patriarch are the king of medicine, and he is also the ancestor of the sect that has been passed down from generation to generation. The ancestors of our Xu family once worshiped under the descendants of Patriarch Sun to learn medicine, and the inheritance was orderly. ”

"The three patriarchs are above, and the disciples are worshipping. One worships the patriarch to enter my medical door, and the second worships the patriarch to establish my mind; Three worship the patriarch to teach the Tao. Ah Li, the rules of this door are simple, there are only three, you remember them clearly; First, do not deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, second, do not be good at medicine and killing, and third, different sects kill each other. Remember, you must not disobey, and those who violate it will abolish medical skills and be expelled from the school! ”

"The three patriarchs are above, and the vicissitudes of life are proof. Su Li, the eighteenth-generation successor, kept it in mind and vowed not to disobey it. From now on, we should concentrate on studying medicine, glorify the apricot forest, respect the teacher, and do not violate the original intention! Su Li then made an oath, her original intention was to cherish life, and the same line as the medical Tao to cure diseases and save people and help the world, yes, Su Li made an oath for the truth, without the slightest evasion.

After worshipping the patriarch and making an oath, Su Li officially entered and the procedure was completed. Le Zhengchen stepped forward and grinded, Xu Lao dipped his pen in ink, and added Su Li's name to the genealogy of the Xu family's medical heritage. I had already received the news that Su Li's family was coming to visit, and in order to be able to bring the little apprentice under his command as soon as possible, Xu Lao had already prepared to accept the apprentice.

"The master is above, the apprentice Su Li bows, since then the master and apprentice have been established, Ah Li must respect the master, love the same door, devote himself to studying medicine, and inherit the mantle of the master!" took the teacup from the tray held by Sister-in-law Wu, who was standing solemnly, raised her hands above her head and presented it in front of Elder Xu, Su Li said solemnly: "Master, please drink tea." ”

"Good, good, good apprentice. Haha, the title of master and apprentice is decided, and my obedient disciple finally can't run away. Ah Li hurry up, this is a small gift for the teacher for you, a set of golden needles modeled after the gold needle, a treasure of the inheritance, so that you can learn acupuncture in the future. ”

Finally brought the good apprentice he liked into the door, Xu Laozhi was full of pride and smiles. took the apprentice tea offered by Su Li, drank it in one go, and put the tea cup back on the tray. Bending over and holding Su Li up with both hands, kneeling to worship the ancestor is a solemn ancient ceremony, the ancient ceremony is over, there is no need, in this era, if you don't want this kneeling ceremony, it is better to really have a heart in your heart than anything else, and his little apprentice Ah Li is obviously a good child who has nothing to say.

took the small box of red sandalwood carved moire that was placed on the table of the eight immortals of the carved auspicious moire yellow flower pear on the main seat and put it on Su Li's hand; "This is an apprenticeship gift for you, Ah Li to see if you like it? Your brother Chen's mother and Achen have both studied medicine with me, but they can't specialize in this, they are just the eighteenth generation of ordinary heirs, and only you are the descendant of my Xu family's medical mantle in the future. You ask them for their gifts, you are the youngest sister according to the seniority, and they are all older than you according to the bloodline, so you don't have to be soft, if you have any trouble, just look for them, this is what they should! ”

There is a big age difference between their master and apprentice, and the younger apprentice is upright and young, and he is already dying. In this qi, the professor's two remaining bloodline relatives, one is not interested, and the other cannot specialize in this, so they can only be regarded as ordinary heirs of the eighteenth generation of the Xu family medical sect, and they can be entered into the genealogy of the Xu family medical sect to rely on the blessing of their bloodline.

"In terms of name, you are all the eighteenth generation, you are the same generation, as for the daily name, it's up to you!" He's not so old-fashioned, yes, Ah Li wants to call him his daughter-in-law, he can call his aunt, and if he wants to call his senior sister, he is not so strict. It's just that if Ah Li and Ah Yan are on the same level in daily life, Ah Chen's seniority will be dangerous, and Ah Li can't be a cheap aunt, hehe, he doesn't care about this old man.

Ah Yan's mother and son are older than Ah Li, and if he leaves early in the future, Ah Li will entrust them to take care of them, so that he will not express his opinion in a commanding manner when they get along.
