************

In the main hall of Dongyue Palace, Zhu Daolin and Zhou Zhenren and other five people sat cross-legged, and two clever little Taoist children served fragrant tea, silently retreated to the distance and stood solemnly.

Zhou Zhenren, who had a kind smile, and the two elders picked up the teacups and saluted Zhu Daolin from afar.

Zhu Daolin thanked him again, took a sip and stopped, put the celadon teacup as thin as a cicada's wings on the tray in front of him, and said before the seniors spoke:

"Thank you very much for the respect of the sect and the seniors, the younger generations feel deeply ashamed, and it is really difficult to bear such kindness from the seniors. As a fellow disciple, the juniors don't feel that they have made much contribution to the Shangqing faction, and the juniors just fulfill their duties as a disciple! ”

"Here, I would like to say sorry to the sect and the seniors, because the family teacher has already advised, the younger generations cannot inform the seniors in detail of the recent situation of the family teacher and the medical divination presided over by the family teacher, and please bear with the seniors!"

Zhou Zhenren and the two junior disciples around him could only nod helplessly, but Zhu Daolin's parents were not as open-minded and calm as few elders, and they all looked at Zhu Daolin who was holding the teacup again and calmly tasting tea with a shocked face, and they all felt that the son in front of them suddenly became strange.

Zhou Zhenren, who was close to ancient times, deserved to be a master of the Tao for a long time, communicated with the three junior disciples around him in a low voice for a moment, turned to the door of the side hall and beckoned, and the middle-aged disciple standing in the side hall door quickly took out a tray covered with yellow silk and came to the side of the master and knelt down slowly.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhou Zhenren motioned to his disciples to put the tray on the low table in the middle, gently uncovered the yellow silk covered, pointed to the black card engraved with complicated symbols on the tray one inch square, and said with a smile to Zhu Daolin:

"This is a gift from our Yuan Fu Palace to my virtuous nephew, and it is also one of the long-standing tokens of my Shangqing sect. It's a shame to say that until now we don't know what the mantra carved on it represents, and there is no similar record in the treasure book sent by the virtuous nephew, maybe only the master of the virtuous nephew can see it and know the true meaning of the mantra carved on it. ”

Zhu Daolin accepted it with a slight hesitation, and took the jet-black nameplate with a black string from the center of the tray with both hands, only to feel simple and exquisite, quite weighty, but after looking at it, he still didn't know what it was made of, and he wanted to compare it with the diamond ring on his left wrist covered by a sleeve, but in the end he held back.

Zhixiang Dao Chang, who was sitting on the left side of Zhou Zhenren, laughed in a low voice: "The token in the hand of the virtuous nephew should be made of lightning strike wood, a few of our old guys speculate that it is likely to come from the thousand-year-old peach tree after the lightning strike, due to its age, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, it is difficult to identify its texture now, it looks like it is not gold and non-wood, but the feel is quite special, the virtuous nephew takes it back and lets the master see it, maybe he can unravel the meaning of the spell above." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, the juniors have accepted it!" Zhu Daolin stood up solemnly and saluted, and hung the nameplate around his neck.

Zhou Zhenren saw that Zhu Daolin just tied his long hair into a ponytail at random, wearing a black winter casual top, plus old jeans, and a pair of black Zhongbang soft leather boots on his feet. ”

Zhu Daolin glanced at his concerned parents a little weakly, and nodded with a slight hesitation: "Last year's Xia Yuan Festival, the head of the Qing Sect outside the Fangwai gave the younger generation the Dharma Seal, and gave the Dharma name 'Yu Chengzi', but this time I came back in a hurry, and I didn't carry the Dharma Seal with me, next time, I will definitely come to meet the seniors again next time." ”

"It's unbelievable, it's actually my 'jade generation' of the medical divination sect that has been separated for a hundred years in the Qing sect?!"

Daoist Zhixiang exclaimed, Zhou Zhenren and Daoist Zhixian on the other side, and Daoist Zhiting, Zhu Daolin's uncle, were all full of shock, and Zhu Daolin's parents were even more unbearable, and they were already so frightened that their faces turned pale and stunned.

Zhu Daolin knew that it was not good, but he was full of doubts, thought about it and asked humbly: "Please show the seniors, is there anything wrong with this Dharma name for the juniors?" ”

Zhou Zhenren exhaled roughly, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not inappropriate, but it's a very high seniority!" According to the inheritance of my Shangqing sect, even if I come again after three hundred and sixty years, the 'jade character generation' of this sect's medical divination sect is several generations higher than our generation, I really want to be able to see the master of the virtuous nephew now! ”

Only then did Zhu Daolin come to his senses, and he smiled and skillfully remedied: "In this way, next time the juniors come again, they will definitely bring the Dharma seal of the juniors, as well as the greetings of the family teachers and the uncles of the medical sect." ”

"When the younger generation started, I heard the family teacher say that the medical divination also has its own inheritance of thousands of years of tokens, and the younger generation will ask the family teacher when they go back, whether they can bring the token of the medical divination next time and present it to the seniors."

Zhou Zhenren and several juniors were very happy, and thanked Zhu Daolin in advance, and Zhou Zhenren asked Zhu Daolin with anticipation:

"Virtuous nephew, there is an existing matter, and the virtuous nephew still needs to help him...... The medical divination chapter of the classics sent back by the virtuous nephew this time records the general outline of the medical divination sect, the general collection of the medicinal scriptures and the general catalogue of various techniques, but there is no detailed description of the content, especially the four ancient acupuncture techniques mentioned in the classics and many long-lost Danfang, all of which only record their names and corresponding diseases, but do not have specific application techniques and drug compatibility, which is very regrettable! ”

"Our Yuanfu Palace has been committed to reorganizing the medical divination for decades, but it is suffering from too little inheritance, the medical classics have not existed in a hundred, and many valuable Danfang and the secret techniques of this door are only known by their names, and they are nowhere to be seen.

Zhu Daolin pondered for a long time, and without the permission of his master Xuanqing and other uncles, he didn't dare to say it full:

"The younger generation will do their best, this matter is not only beneficial to the Yuan Fu Palace and the entire Shangqing Sect, but also a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, I believe that the family teachers and uncles will agree. As for when and to what extent, the younger generation cannot give a clear answer to the seniors now, but the younger generation believes that as long as you do it, you can always do it. ”

Zhou Zhenren stood up happily, and the three elders around him were also very excited, in their opinion, Zhu Daolin, a secret book of the Shangqing Sect that had been lost for hundreds of years, could be sent back, what else could not be generously agreed to by the medical divination sect outside the same source?

Seeing that the lunch time was about to pass, Zhu Daolin's uncle Zhiting Daoist hurriedly proposed to go to dinner first, Zhou Zhenren came to his senses, looked at each other and smiled enthusiastically around Zhu Daolin, and went to the dining hall hidden in the green trees at the back of the courtyard together.

Zhu Daolin's uncle quietly told his nephew: "For more than ten years, the dining hall of this hospital has not entertained a few outsiders, and all the dishes are very different from the dining halls that are open to the outside world. ”

Zhu Daolin hurriedly turned his head to look around, and saw that the two Taoist masters had already brought Song Shaojun and her assistant Ren Qiuxue to his parents, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if he went to enjoy himself but ignored Song Shaojun, he didn't know what kind of revenge he would attract after he went back.

Zhou Daochang smiled again when he saw Zhu Daolin's nervous appearance, and told him quite meaningfully: "Virtuous nephew, you are no longer an outsider, you really have to be serious, you have a higher rank than anyone else in my Shangqing faction, so the virtuous nephew does not need to be restrained, he will come if he wants to come in the future, if he has any orders, he does not need to be polite, just like in his own home!" ”

"How's that going to work? You are the same generation as my grandfather, and the younger generation is only a junior disciple of the teaching, how dare you be a little presumptuous? If there is really any request, the younger generation will not be polite, and will definitely seek the help of the elders. Zhu Daolin modestly expressed his attitude.

Several elders laughed happily, Zhou Zhenren finished laughing, and approached Zhu Daolin with deep meaning: "The great name of the virtuous nephew has now spread all over the world with the rediscovery of my Shangqing sect classics, and on the day of the Shangyuan Festival celebration three days later, the host of the major mountain Taoist temples and a large number of Taoist friends will gather in the Yuanfu Palace to hold a grand celebration and worship ceremony together." ”

"I originally wanted to hold a ceremony after the end of the celebration, under the witness of several presidents of the National Taoist Association and the family members of all factions in the world, solemnly awarded the law seal of the virtuous nephew and sealed the law number, but unfortunately my Yuan Fu Palace was still a step late, so I had to enter the law number of the virtuous nephew into the golden book of this faction, and submit it to the National Taoist Association for the record."

"From now on, as long as there are Taoist temples all over the country, the virtuous nephews can go there, haha!"

Zhu Daolin didn't expect such benefits, and happily thanked several elders again, walked to his mother and father in a few steps, and apologized in a low voice rather ashamedly:

"I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I really didn't know that things would develop like this, there were some things I didn't tell you before, because I didn't think it was a big deal, I didn't expect a set of classics to make so many things, it's really unexpected!"

Zhu's father didn't mean to blame, and proudly patted his son's shoulder: "It's okay, you did a good job, it's not too late to go home and talk about it." ”

Zhu's mother was unwilling, completely forgetting Zhu Daolin's seniority and contributions: "Who told you to hide it from my mother?" It's late! Wait, you rebel, go home and see how the old lady cleans you up! ”

As soon as these words came out, Song Shaojun and the three of them on the side couldn't stop laughing, and Zhu Daolin had to stay away from his mother, who was full of anger, and caught up with the seniors in front of him in a few steps, and entered the dining hall where hundreds of people were waiting solemnly.
