Chapter 11 The head of Maoshan Mountain
After Daoist Lu meditated and breathed for a while, he grabbed Zhang Wen and wrote out the inheritance of the ancestor silently. Since Master Zu didn't have a lot of inheritance in his mind, he wrote it all out silently in three or four hours.
After Zhang Wen finished writing the last one, he threw the pen away, stretched his waist and sighed, "My poor waist is about to stiffen." Master, I've never written so many words in my life. ”
Daoist Lu has been standing by Zhang Wen's side, every time Zhang Wen writes out a piece of paper, he takes it and looks at it, he picks up the last piece of paper written by Zhang Wen and looks at it, and suddenly makes a decision, he said with a serious face, "The sixty-eighth generation disciple of the Maoshan Sect listened to the order, and now he kneels down in front of the ancestor and announces something for the master." ”
"Master, don't be joking, I finally wrote out all the things in my head, and now I still have back pain, just let me rest first, what do you have to say, why bother Master Zu?" Zhang Wen said lazily, and looked at Daoist Lu with his head, and saw that Daoist Lu was looking at him seriously, stuck out his tongue and quickly stood up and knelt in front of Master Zu.
Daoist Lu solemnly walked to the portrait of the ancestor, picked up three sticks of incense, lit them, and inserted them in the incense burner, and bowed respectfully to the portrait before saying with a serious face, "The sixty-eighth generation disciple of the Maoshan faction listens to the order, and Yuan Lingzi, the sixty-seventh generation head of the Maoshan faction, has already told the Maoshan patriarch to teach you the head of the Maoshan faction, and from today on, you will be the sixty-eighth generation head of the Maoshan faction." ”
"Master, don't be joking, you are still so strong, how can the position of head be passed to me. Tomorrow is Monday, and I'm going back to do my homework. I'll go back first, I'll come to see you again when I'm free, you don't have to send it, I'll see you later. Zhang Wen looked incredulous, and hurriedly stood up and prepared to slip away.
"Stinky boy, you stand for me, you kneel for me. If you run around again, be careful that I will beat you. Daoist Lu scolded angrily.
"Master, this news you said is too scary. I'm only a high school student this year, you just throw the head of the Maoshan faction to me, aren't you afraid that I will defeat the Maoshan faction, and if you go to see the ancestor in the future, will the ancestor scold you? Or you should think about it again and decide after thinking about it for ten or twenty years. ”
"Fart, your master and I made this decision after careful consideration, you are the head of the Maoshan faction is the cabbage in the market, you want it, if you don't want it, don't want it."
"It's not Master, you better think about it again, it's really not appropriate to give me this position of head." Zhang Wen continued to persuade.
"Stinky boy, I also know that it is a bit inappropriate to give you this important task now. It is estimated that the ancestor is the body of a spirit child, and most of the inheritance he left behind is the use of the yin-yang mirror, and the yin-yang mirror is the body of the spirit child in order to give full play to his functions. Therefore, as a teacher, you can only make the best use of the yin-yang mirror in your hands. ”
"Wouldn't it be easy to solve if that were the case? Master, you continue to be your head of Maoshan, and I will still be my disciple of Maoshan. Anyway, you, the head of the Maoshan faction, will always pass it on to me, so you can lend me the yin-yang mirror first, and then pass on the position of head to me when you have nothing to do to go to Master Zu for tea. Zhang Wen tried his best to find an excuse.
Lu Daoshi said angrily, "Nonsense, can you follow the rules passed down by your ancestors?" The yin-yang mirror is a token of the head of the Maoshan faction, and only the head can wear it. One of your Maoshan disciples carries the token of the master. You are a deception of the teacher and the ancestor, do you understand? ”
"Master, this is not an extraordinary time, so I am very responsible. Master Zu won't blame you. ”
Daoist Lu slapped Zhang Wen on the head and reprimanded, "What the hell is nonsense, you dare to change the rules set by the ancestor at will, you are underwhelming." ”
Zhang Wen touched his head and no longer dared to express his opinion. Daoist Lu was also secretly funny, this apprentice is very good everywhere, but he has a quirky personality, and he has to be honest if he does it.
After Daoist Lu taught his apprentice, his emotions calmed down, and he smiled indifferently, "You don't have to be too nervous, when the master met you, he had already seen that you were a good person and had the body of a spirit child." Since you are destined to receive the inheritance of your ancestors, it proves that you have this opportunity. ”
Zhang Wen glared and complained, "You are embarrassed to say that you used a few useless Dao techniques to trick me into the Maoshan Sect back then, if it weren't for the fact that you still have some ability, I would have fired you as a master a long time ago." If you give orders, you will be alone. ”
Daoist Lu also felt very proud of being able to trick Zhang Wen into the Maoshan faction back then, he smiled and said, "This is fate, it is also fate, you are destined to worship under the Maoshan faction, you can't hide, you accept your fate." ”
Zhang Wen frowned and said angrily, "Master, you are not afraid that if I accidentally hang up, the Maoshan faction will be extinct." ”
"Don't worry about this, although your life is more peculiar and you can't figure it out as a teacher, but judging from your face, you shouldn't be short-lived. On the contrary, since it was the ancestor who chose you to inherit his mantle, it proves that you are certainly enough to deal with all kinds of things in the human world. The future rise and fall of the Maoshan faction is in your hands, and I believe that the ancestor will not pick a person with shallow fortune to inherit his mantle. ”
Zhang Wen suddenly raised his head and looked at Daoist Lu carefully, "Master, when it comes to physiognomy, your upper stop (the position from the forehead to the eyebrows) is full of heaven and has a round luster. I guess I was very proud of my teenage experience. However, the mid-stop (from the brow to the tip of the nose) is too short. What kind of misfortune should you have experienced in middle age? But Master, although you are now a Taoist priest, your appearance is not the appearance of a queen. Do you still have an illegitimate child left, where do you not know the way? ”
The so-called physiognomy, the ancients believed that people were born from the essence of the sun and the moon, and when they spoke, their life techniques were set for the heavens, which is the so-called eight characters of people's birthdays. There is a difference between good and bad fate, and there is a difference between handsome and ugly in people's appearances. It is to predict good and bad and speculate on good fortune and evil by observing people's facial features, appearance, bones, posture, and palmistry.
However, in physiognomy, there is also a saying that "congenital depends on life, and acquired depends on creation", everyone can change their fate to a certain extent by making good, such as through feng shui and the accumulation of yin virtue.
Lu Daoist also knew that Zhang Wen also had the inheritance of physiognomy in his mind, and the inheritance left by the Maoshan faction was a little different from the physiognomy of other sects, Maoshan's physiognomy was not only to observe people's luck from people's five senses, but also to watch the person's blessings and misfortunes by watching the invisible qi flowing on people's bodies. So it's not surprising that you can see some things about him.
Daoist Lu frowned slightly, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, Zhang Wen, the sixty-eighth generation disciple of the Maoshan Sect, listened to the order and took the Yin-Yang Mirror." ”
So far, it is useless to say anything, it seems that this master has to pass on the position to himself, Zhang Wen sighed, shook his head helplessly, and took the yin and yang mirror.
Daoist Lu scolded angrily, "Stinky boy, do you know the weight of the head of the Maoshan faction of the Dao Dao, how many people can't do it if they want to worship in the Maoshan faction as a disciple, and now let you be the head, is there such a grievance?" ”
Zhang Wen said with a wry smile, "Master, the problem is that the pressure is too much, how can my poor little shoulders hold it." ”
Daoist Lu sighed lightly and said, "Actually, Master doesn't want to pass on the position of head to you so soon, but you also know that Daoist Lu is already one hundred and eight years old this year, and I have already calculated that my time is short, and it shouldn't be long before I go to see Master Zu." As a teacher now, I only hope that you can mature as soon as possible and pick up the burden of the Maoshan faction. And now the position of head is of little use to me, and the same is true for you. ”
"Master, you..." Daoist Lu's words made Zhang Wen uncomfortable for a while, and he was interrupted by Daoist Lu just as he wanted to speak.
"Silly boy, for us academic scholars, we should have seen through life and death a long time ago, death is not something to be afraid of, and the cycle of life and death is a very common thing. Master has lived for more than a hundred years, and he has experienced everything, even if he dies, it is not a pity. During this time, I will stay on the mountain and re-edit the inheritance you wrote down and the secret techniques of the previous Maoshan School into a book, if you have time, come to the mountain to see me. ”
Zhang Wen nodded gloomily in his understanding.
Daoist Lu continued, "Actually, Master also took in an apprentice in his early years, although his wisdom is not as good as yours, but it is not bad. Later, because of his family, he immigrated with his father. Our Maoshan lineage is not prosperous, if you meet him in the future, you will re-enter the Maoshan faction. ”
After seeing Zhang Wen nodding, he continued, "If you accept apprentices in the future, remember that you must find someone with good character and wisdom root to be accepted into the Maoshan faction, and people with poor hearts are a hundred times more powerful than ordinary people." And those who are not enough in Huigen can only learn half a bucket of water to learn Maoshan Technique, and it is useless to learn it, so it is better not to learn, so as not to lose the face of our Maoshan faction. ”
Daoist Lu paused and continued, "Then let's do it first, your master is not dead now, you don't have to be so sad now." You go back first, and when you have time, come back to see Master. ”
After walking out of the Taoist temple, Zhang Wen looked at the yin-yang mirror in his hand, and he felt particularly speechless at this time. Today's whole day was like a dream, and suddenly I became the head of the Maoshan faction. In fact, he also saw that Daoist Lu should not be able to drive west so soon, but Daoist Lu is indeed more than a hundred years old, and there will not be a lot of time left, and he can't help but follow his wishes as an apprentice.
