The lotus root soup tasted very good, and Xie Baoshu drank it very happily.

He had already decided, and in another hour, he would go to Xie Fuyuan on the way back and ask him well. Before that, he needs to take care of his body. Although the injury is no longer serious, there is still a little bit of Mei Jin's sword qi in the body. It's like a knife, scraping his bones.

Wang Zixuan was discussing with her master to help Xie Baoshu later.

The two stood outside the door, under the eaves, Zixia Shenjun looked reluctant. She looked at her apprentice and said, "Then Xie Fuyuan, now he is Bixia Yuanjun, and he is also a guest of Emperor Dongyue." You can't do nonsense, what if you take out your sword and hurt someone, or be hurt by someone else?"

Wang Zixuan said with a smile: "I'm just going to press the formation, don't do it." ”

Zixia Shenjun looked at her and said, "I won't be able to protect you in the future, you have to be careful yourself, don't act recklessly." “

Wang Zixuan was silent, knowing this kind of situation of protecting the Dao, he could only have one time, this was the rule of the Daomen. Next time, it was said that Mei Jin made a move on her, and someone else came, she should die, she still had to die, and Master Zixia Shenjun would not come to save her again. This is the rule of the Taoist sect since ancient times.

Because at this moment, Wang Zixuan already knew that the master was protecting the Tao for himself.

Then next, when she meets a powerful master, she always thinks that with the master behind her, she can do whatever she wants. Not only can it break the realm between life and death, but it is easy to bully others. So Zixia Shenjun explained it to her clearly, and no matter what happened next, Zixia Shenjun would return to his mansion.

What life and death crisis Wang Zixuan encountered, Zixia Shenjun would not care.

If it falls, it means that Wang Zixuan is not lucky. In the history of cultivation, a monk who was smarter and more talented than Wang Zixuan also died at a young age. They all didn't pay attention to the rules set by their teachers, and they ended up dead.

Wang Zixuan was the same, this time, she thought that Mei Jin would not dare to kill her, and she almost died. She thought that Mei Jin Sword Immortal was also thinking about her family and the pursuit of the Daomen. But the rabbit jumped off the wall in a hurry, and the Mei Jin Sword Immortal, under the pressure of Wang Zixuan's sword, was so scared to death.

So he sacrificed his natal flying sword, no longer kept his hand, and killed Wang Zixuan.

Wang Zixuan didn't dare to imagine that if it weren't for his master, then not only himself, but also the juniors and disciples behind him, as well as Xie Baoshu, would all be dead. Mei Jin, an old guy, is a ruthless man, if he really turns his face, he will never leave a living.

This time, there is a master to protect him, what about the next time?

Wang Zixuan walked up to his master, massaged her shoulders, and asked, "Master, do you regret accepting such a disciple as me?"

Zixia Shenjun glared at her and said, "Regret, how can you not regret it, look at you day by day, make trouble for me." ”

Apprenticeship in the Daomen is the key to the transmission of the Daomen scriptures and the passing of wisdom and life, so there are many taboos, and the master needs to examine the conduct of the apprentices, the most important of which is the eight rules of accepting apprentices. As a master, you don't just have to be a teacher

It is good to pass on the scriptures and set an example, and more importantly, the master has to bear the karma of the disciples. According to the law of cause and effect, the relationship between the disciples of the same division must be good, if they are not respectful, quarrel, intrigue or open and secret fighting. Then, it will lead to all kinds of difficulties for the master, so the master has to help the disciple carry more karma.

If a disciple does evil, is unjust, and is cunning, then Master's life will cause harm and be implicated, and it is all the disciple's bad karma that implicates Master. There are many initiates who claim to have countless apprentices, and they are also proud of this, and they feel that they are very powerful and prestigious. You must know that you have so many disciples, if you can't increase your karma and have bad thoughts, then as a master, you have to carry a lot of karma for your disciples.

Wang Zixuan is upright, but he loves to cause trouble too much.

When the road is uneven, draw a sword to help, which one looks like a cultivator?

Wang Zixuan said with a smile: "When Master was accepted as an apprentice, you didn't say that. ”

Back then, Zixia Shenjun traveled to Xingshi Prefecture, and when he met Wang Zixuan, he felt that she had an excellent Taoist heart and wanted to accept her as a disciple. At that time, Wang Zixuan didn't want to marry someone else under her father's arrangement, so she asked her master to take her away. So, one was willing to fight, the other was willing to suffer, and so he became a master and apprentice.

Zixia Shenjun sighed and said, "At that time, you disliked the cumbersome etiquette, I should have guessed your character. ”

When it comes to apprenticeship, the degree of cumbersomeness and prudence is none other than Taoism. The cumbersome lies in the fact that the Taoist master must go through many procedures to accept disciples, such as burning incense and playing tables, chanting sutras and confessions, and another disciple reading the post of the apprentice to show his determination to enter the Taoist practice, and the master also needs to play the table and calligraphy, so that the beginner disciples can swear and burn incense, kneel down to the Taoist monarch to thank the Taoist monarch for his mercy and get the right Dharma, kneel down to the ancestors of the past generations to not forget the kindness of the ancestors, and kneel down to the master to inherit the Dharma lineage to make the Taoist gate prosperous. Under normal circumstances, the apprenticeship ceremony is as short as half a day or as long as one day, which shows that it is cumbersome and abnormal.

There are many Taoist monks, and they are also divided into various factions, each faction has Taoist inheritance, and many masters and apprentices teach their hearts orally, and they are kept secret.

Therefore, the master of the Taoist sect must be cautious in accepting apprentices, and he must teach the technique only after the measure, and "I would rather not pass on the Taoist technique than teach it to a non-human." "Because of this, when the Taoist master accepts apprentices, he must put his morality first, so that he can be virtuous and master Taoism. As for doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, it was originally a matter for the disciples themselves, so there is no need to say more.

When Wang Zixuan apprenticed, he disliked etiquette as too troublesome. It's just that at that time, Zixia Shenjun didn't know her character yet.

The masters of the Daomen mostly take the promotion of the Dao as the first priority, whether it is the cultivation of the Dan Dao or the inheritance of spells, they are all preaching.

Therefore, if you have disciples with good conduct and wisdom roots, it is really a blessing for the sect and a blessing for the Daomen, so it is only natural for these disciples to bother to teach the Dao Fa. Otherwise, if the Tao is not preached, it will be difficult to learn the Tao, and if you meet someone who can be preached, it is for selfishness, and you will deviate from the Tao and betray morality. In short, the Tao was founded by the ancestors, and the masters and apprentices were passed down from generation to generation, and the masters were only the messengers of the preaching.

The master is just a master, a person who is about to introduce himself into the Xuanmen, and having a master means that

Now that we have approached the incomparably mysterious path, the next thing is to practice earnestly and devoutly.

Zixia Shenjun asked, "Do you know the identity of that young man, and who his master is?"

Wang Zixuan shook his head and said, "No matter how big his master is, can he be bigger than you?"

Zixia Shenjun glanced at her and said, "That's really not necessarily, you see that the evil knife on this young man's waist is not simple." I have already inquired about his master, it is the legendary dragon warrior, Song Heng. I haven't seen Song Heng, but I heard rumors that he had studied with Hefeng Zhenren on Wudang Mountain. ”

Wang Zixuan is very familiar with Song Heng. She often follows this senior as an example.

The slogan of Song Heng's predecessors walking the rivers and lakes is "Where there is a real dragon, kill the real dragon", Wang Zixuan also thought of a slogan for himself, "Where there is injustice, it is uneven!"

In her opinion, Mei Jin bullied a young junior with such a high realm, and that was injustice!

Seeing her appearance, Zixia Shenjun sighed and said, "If you want to help him, go and help, but the consequences are at your own risk." I'll take your juniors and disciples with me later and leave here early. Then things are a bit serious, you may have to wait for my news, maybe I will let you go to the Ice and Snow State. ”

Hearing that he could finally leave this place, Wang Zixuan was very happy.

Master wants to leave, but she is still a little reluctant. When it comes to cultivating the Tao, if you encounter confusion, you can either realize yourself, or seek the Master, or visit the Tao, so that you can be diligent. Therefore, the fate of the master and the apprentice is only tied together through the Tao, from the unknown acquaintance in the vast sea of people to the same boat on the road of cultivation, this is the path of seeking the Tao, and its ultimate goal is eternity.

Zixia Shenjun touched her head, looked at Xie Baoshu, and said, "On the cultivation road, there is a pass, called the Love Pass, you have to pay attention." ”

Wang Zixuan didn't understand what the master said.

Zixia Shenjun didn't say anything anymore and changed the topic. The relationship between master and apprentice is always very strong. When the disciple apprentices to the teacher, he must read the apprenticeship sticker and swear in front of the patriarch's altar in public, not to violate the path of reason, not to violate the teacher's teachings, not to steal and commit adultery, etc., once the oath is made, the heavens and the earth know, the ghosts and gods know it, if there is the slightest deviation, they will be retributed, so they must not slack off.

Some people may think that this is just alarmism, but it is not. Zixia Shenjun has seen people who have seen Li Siyi, deviated from the rules of the ancestral teachings and encountered misfortunes, and the speed of retribution is suffocating. In the Taoist Gate, violating the rules of the patriarch's sermon is regarded as deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestor.

It is important to know that the oath made in front of the altar during the apprenticeship is likely to become the fuse of retribution, so you should not be careful. Zixia Shenjun looked at his apprentice, still thinking, let her not meddle in her affairs. Because the avenue is hard to find, Wang Zixuan is the person she has ever seen, who is most likely to approach the avenue and reach the top of the Daojun.

It's a pity that such a good qualification is wasted.

Wang Zixuan didn't think about it so much, although she had a lively personality, she respected her master very much. As the saying goes: a teacher for one day, a father for life, this is true at all.

In the world, those who are not filial to their parents often encounter ups and downs, but it is a pity that there are many

People are not yet unreasonable, but they regard their parents as a drag, and those who are parents are also sent by heaven if they do not respect God, and only foolish people do it. Filial piety is the same with Master. Therefore, as a disciple, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, respectful, and not suspicious, joking, or even slandering your master, otherwise you will be disrespectful. If the master is on the side, the disciple should be respectful. In ancient times, when apprentices were apprenticed, they had to eat and live with the master, and serve the master's diet and daily life, so as to fulfill the duty of a disciple. If you don't eat or sleep with the Master, you should also honor the Master according to your own situation, which is also the duty of a disciple.

Wang Zixuan is a cultivator, although he has not served the master's daily life, but he has also boiled medicine and stewed soup for her.

In fact, after the apprenticeship enters the Tao, if there are conditions, it is necessary for Taoist practitioners to set up an altar at home or other places and offer incense, flowers, lanterns and fruits every day.

Because according to the Taoist tradition, once the master accepts a disciple, he begins to bear the corresponding wrongs for the disciple, just as the child in the family will punish the parent first. Therefore, although these situations are not taken seriously by the disciples, they are the most aware as a master.

Of course, to this day, the master and apprentice may not be able to stay in front of the altar all the time, especially in the red dust, there are many chores, and many people who cannot honor the master every day are human. The master does not want money, but the disciple must be filial. However, if you can't do all of this, then at least you should not have a grudge against the Master, or even add up or slander the Master, because then it will be unkind and unjust, and you will completely lose the relationship between master and apprentice.

If we had to wait for Master to start cleaning the portal, it would have been too late. It is important to know that the patriarch's testament: "Those who enter my dragon gate are not poor, and those who leave my dragon gate are not rich"

Wang Zixuan followed the Zixia Divine Monarch to cultivate, as if he was a carp, crossing the Dragon Gate!

Cultivators cultivate their own way, if they don't cultivate outside, they won't succeed inside, and if they don't accumulate virtue, they won't succeed. The responsibility of the teacher, the apprentice. If you don't know about this opportunity, it's better not to fix it.

The two talked for a while, Xie Baoshu walked out with his own knife, and with the kung fu just now, he had already wiped out all the sword qi in his body. He stood silently to the side, not speaking.

Zixia Shenjun frowned and asked, "Take me away, do you want to say hello to me?"

Xie Baoshu was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

At this time, Wang Zixuan had already packed up his things and said, "Let's go." ”

Zixia Shenjun sighed and said, "The woman is too old, so she won't stay." ”

Wang Zixuan stepped forward, gently pressed her shoulder, and said, "I'll solve it soon." ”

The two of them left the hut where they lived. Xie Baoshu was going to go to Xie Fuyuan's only way to block him, and there was a bridge called Shenmu Bridge. The speed of the two was fast, and it was still early, so they chatted while walking. Xie Baoshu was very curious, as a Daomen monk, Wang Zixuan would have other techniques.

What is the number of arts? The number of spells is the number of arts, the number of steps and the number of natural yin and yang. Taoist people can't be ignorant of numbers. The number of techniques is based on Zhou Yi, and various calculations are derived

The method of prediction is used to avoid evil. Zhou Yiben is one of the three mysteries of Taoism, the gossip created by Fuxi in ancient times, and became the number of heaven and earth.

However, the number of techniques is also a complex and profound study, and only by choosing and learning, specializing and cultivating, can it be expected. And the prevalence of the world and the Taoist gate is nothing more than the four pillars of prediction, the six divination, the feng shui can be seen, the gods are good, the plum blossoms are easy to count, etc. As well as the three-style peerless school, Qimen, Liuren, Taiyi, but there are very few who are proficient in this.

Wang Zixuan knows a little about these, and what she really inherited is the Great Dao of Fu Sword.

Fu Sword, in Daomen, is also a unique one, very magical. At this time, she was dressed in a purple robe, and the rune sword was casually placed on her waist, which was extremely chic.

Xie Baoshu was a little puzzled and asked, "The Daomen monks I have seen are all wearing green robes, why do you want to wear purple robes?"

Wang Zixuan asked, "Have you seen any other Dao monks?"

Xie Baoshu nodded, thinking, I have not only seen it, but also killed it. When he was in Wuling County, the one who was slaughtered with the county order was the master of the Daomen. Xie Baoshu had seen the monks of the Daomen, and they all seemed to be wearing green robes. In the past, he didn't pay much attention to Daomen, but now that he meets Wang Zixuan, he naturally wants to know about it.

Wang Zixuan explained to him that Daomen monks should indeed wear green robes.

Cyan, which refers to the color between blue and green, also refers to black. When describing the lake as cyan, cyan means light blue, and when describing the mountains as cyan, cyan means blue-green. Daomen advocates cyan, black is also a kind of cyan, Taoist priests wear black or cyan crowns, scarves, representing the blue sky above the head.

Most of the Daomen are qi practitioners, and qi practitioners rely on the sky to eat. With the blue sky above his head, he takes God seriously, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Also, green, oriental color, wood fire, fire pill. Danqing's letter is inevitable. All the green belong to the green. Among the five directions and five elements, the wood of the East is cyan, which is the qi of the green sun. Born in the East. The East is the place of "ten continents and three islands" in Taoist beliefs, and it is the ideal place for cultivators to yearn for.

This orient refers to being more oriental than the Dongxing Shizhou, that is, the East China Sea.

In people's eyes, green symbolizes the light of life. Therefore, green has become a symbol of life, and people have found that when the year passes away and life is about to wither, people's hair will turn gray and white, thus strengthening their belief that "green silk" is a symbol of health and life.

Cyan is the color of life, and Taoism is the religion of the East. Daomen noble students, happy students, advocating cyan, echoing the idea of "the unity of heaven and man".

And when a certain Taoist temple's real person, prison or disciple is holding a ceremony, the Dharma robe worn at this time will be purple. This is because there is an allusion to the Taoist monarch riding a green ox out of Guguan when "purple gas comes from the east", so later generations took purple as the noble and auspicious color of Taoism.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor has also given the famous Gao Zhen with purple clothes. Shang Bing tradition, now only real people, Yuan Jun or powerful disciples can wear purple Dharma clothes. It can be seen that ordinary Taoists are not allowed to wear purple robes, and laymen and believers are not allowed to wear purple robes when participating in Taoist activities.

WANG Zixuan,

Originally, I didn't have this qualification.

But over the years, she has done too many things to fight for righteousness and sword in Dongxing Shizhou, and her reputation has been shocked. Even the current saint Li Wenjian heard the news of Wang Zixuan, and asked Emperor Dongyue to give Wang Zixuan a purple robe. On weekdays, when she's not fighting, she doesn't wear it.

Wang Zixuan touched his robe and said with a smile: "This is a half-immortal artifact." ”

Xie Baoshu thought of the sword immortal robe in his storage wrench, held back, and didn't take it out. This robe left by Qingyun Sword Immortal, he told Su Cha, but he didn't give it to her. Because of this dress, even if he gave it to Su Cha, Su Cha couldn't wear it. It's better to keep it for yourself, it's a little useful.

Wang Zixuan looked at him and asked, "Your master, is it really Song Heng's senior?"

Xie Baoshu nodded.

Wang Zixuan tugged at his sleeve and said, "You take me away, I want to go with you to meet Song Heng's seniors." ”
