Master? When I heard this, I was stunned and didn't react for a while. You must know that I have only seen the word "head" in martial arts novels, the heads of martial arts novels, all of them have extraordinary martial arts, and one person commands the heroes, it is really a domineering master!

When I thought of this, I was overjoyed, and my heart blossomed. Unexpectedly, the old man in front of me really had a great background, and by accident, I was about to become a big disciple of the Maoshan faction. Although he is still a Taoist priest in the end, at least there is always a name for the head of the family, right?

Just when I was so happy that I almost laughed out loud, the old man coughed and said, "Uh, what, don't think too much, our Maoshan faction is different from those martial arts sects of the Shaolin faction, especially after breaking the four old trends, I sent disciples to flee in all directions, or sneak back to the countryside to live in seclusion and not ask about the world, or flee abroad, and now our sect is not the same as in the past." Although the teacher is the head of a faction, none of his subordinates obey the orders. Alas! ”

When I heard this, my restless heart was immediately lost. You must know which young man doesn't dream of the spirit of the king who commands the heroes, but now although this one wears the hat of the head, he is a bare-bones commander, what is the difference between this and the flat-headed people?

But then again, it doesn't matter if I'm in charge or not, the most important thing at the moment is that only this Zhang Zhenren can save my life, I can't just because I'm the head of the light pole, so I don't apprentice, right?

I naturally won't let Zhang Zhenren know the little Jiujiu in my heart, and I said, "Master, don't worry. Although our Maoshan is falling apart now, there will always be a day when we will carry forward our Maoshan faction and not let you down! "Good! Good! Good! I really didn't expect you to say such a bold statement, it's really a blessing for the teacher. As long as you can remember the oath you made today in the future, then you will have no regrets about dying for your teacher! Zhang Zhenren's happy beard straightened, thinking that my words went to his heart.

But I chuckled in my heart, did I swear? Did I swear?

That night, I packed my bags and prepared to move in with Zhang Zhenren. But Na Cheng thought that the move he said would be so far, and he actually let me move directly from Shenzhen to a deep mountain and old forest in Jiangsu!

Needless to say, how many cars were changed in the meantime, the road into the mountain had not yet been opened to traffic, and when I came to the place where Zhang Zhenren lived after two hours of hiking, I was almost tired and scattered.

The village where Zhang Zhenren is located is called Gucun, although it is called a village, but there are few households, and it is extremely remote.

Although I grew up in the mountains, the mountains in this place are bigger and deeper than my hometown. Mountains are connected to mountain ranges, and there is no end in sight, as if there are only mountains and no plains in this world. The mountain is covered with thick bamboos and trees, like a primeval forest, and this village called Gucun is located in the deepest part of such a mountain range.

This place is not connected to the road at all, and it takes more than a hundred miles of mountain roads to go to the county sound city, let alone electric lights and telephones, because this ghost place is still the same as an ancient society at all.

Zhang Zhenren's home is some distance from the village, because his house is built on the edge of a cliff in the mountains. In fact, it is better to build on the edge of a cliff than on the edge of a cliff, because his house was built of thatch. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, I couldn't help but beat the drum in my heart, wondering if there was such a gust of wind, would this broken grass house be blown off the cliff entirely?

In my thoughts, as the head of a faction, although I can't say that I have 3,000 followers, how can I not have a thousand-year-old dojo that has gone through Cangsang, right? But now I'm really dumbfounded, could it be that Zhang Zhenren would be so lost before, I didn't expect this old man to be mixed up like this, alas, it's really sad. "What? Feeling lost? Zhang Zhenren seemed to see what I was thinking, and turned to me and asked. It's not about loss, but I'm from the mountains, and the house in our hometown isn't much better than yours. It's just that I used to hear the elders talk about it, saying that the mountain gate of Maoshan in Jiangsu is very magnificent, how can it be broken to such a point now? I voiced the doubts in my mind.

Zhang Zhenren smiled after hearing this, and a trace of pride suddenly appeared on his face, and he said: "The Maoshan you heard about is the Maoshan of Jurong, Jiangsu. Jurong Maoshan is a famous mountain, it is the birthplace of the Shangqing sect of Taoism, and is respected by Taoists as the Shangqing altar. There are nine peaks, nineteen springs, twenty-six holes, twenty-eight pools, although the mountain of Jurong Maoshan is not high, but as the saying goes: the mountain is not high, there is a fairy is famous. Jurong Maoshan has the reputation of the first blessed land and the eighth cave sky! ”

Listening to Zhang Zhenren's words, it can be imagined from his description that this Maoshan Mountain should be a very ancient thousand-year-old altar place, and the building is also extremely magnificent. So I said, "Master, since Jurong Maoshan is so good, and you are the head of a faction, why don't you live in Jurong Maoshan, but live in seclusion in this deep mountain and wild forest?" ”

Zhang Zhenren said: "As the so-called Buddhism and Taoism are a family, our Taoism is also divided into two sects. Jurong Maoshan is a sutra, but being a teacher is a tantric sect. ”

I said, "What tantric sutras, I'm almost confused by you. ”

Zhang Zhenren gave me a brain breakdown: "Forget it, I can't tell you about it." Let me tell you this, the sutras teach the truth, let you understand the truth first, and then practice. And our tantra teaches magic, first teach you the method, and then let you enlighten. ”

As soon as I said this, I understood that this is not one about theory and the other about technology. I said, "I see, sutra is the school, focusing on theoretical knowledge, while tantra is the factory, focusing on technology. ”

Zhang Zhenren rolled his eyes and ignored me anymore.

Soon we came to the thatched hut. When I got closer, although this thatched house looked shabby and simple, it really felt a little secluded by building this thatched house on the edge of the cliff.

The thatched hut is also extremely simple, just a few daily utensils, and nothing else. Of course, the statue of the Heavenly Master at the top of the room is very conspicuous, and below the statue is an altar of gods, and an incense burner is extremely simple, thinking that it is an antique of hundreds of years.

As soon as I entered the house, Zhang Zhenren asked me to kneel in front of the Heavenly Master's Altar, then lit incense and recited a few words, as for what he said, I didn't hear clearly. When he had finished reading, he said to me, "I am a talisman sect and a major in talismans. To learn my Maoshan spells, in addition to the general exorcism and healing, catching ghosts and settling down and practicing content, my faction also has many powerful and miraculous spells, such as being able to send Yin soldiers or ghosts, and can also use heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals and other spells. Therefore, my Maoshan spell is the most powerful in Taoism, it can be described as a supernatural ability, in order to prevent disciples from using supernatural skills to do nonsense, worship the disciples of my sect, there must be an absolute guarantee in character, must be very loyal and honest, filial piety, and compassionate people can learn, in order to protect my secret method by traitors to learn to harm the world! ”

I nodded, I naturally know this, because I have also heard that Maoshan spells are very powerful, and drawing talismans and reciting spells are like immortals. So I said, "When did you start passing on these spells to me?" Will you pass it to me tonight? ”

Zhang Zhenren glared at me and scolded: "Now that the master has not finished worshipping, I want to learn the secret method of Maoshan Mountain, how can it be so easy!" ”

I thought about it, so I smiled embarrassedly. At this time, Zhang Zhenren said: "Maoshan secret method is not so easy to teach, I want to learn the Tao for the teacher, seven years old into the mountain to worship the master's door, after 20 years to pass the master's character inspection, the master only taught me the Maoshan secret art, so you have to be patient and learn slowly." ”

Hearing this, my mouth opened wide, it will take twenty years to complete the character investigation, so I have to wait until I am almost forty years old to learn spells? What the hell are these rules, isn't this purely a trick on people? There is no need to mention the disappointment in my heart, if it weren't for my own life and the old man in front of me to save me, I would definitely go down the mountain.

Zhang Zhenren saw my lost appearance, smiled, and said: "But your situation is different, you are now on the verge of disaster, so it doesn't take so long to investigate your character before apprenticing, you just need to swear in front of your ancestor that you won't use the spells you have learned to harm people." "Really?" I was very happy in my heart, so I hurriedly made an oath to my grandfather.

When I finished vowing, Zhang Zhenren suddenly laughed maliciously, and I had goosebumps all over my body. Such an old man with a fairy wind and bones laughed maliciously, it looked really unbearable.

I said, "Master, do you have something on my face, look at you and smile?"

Zhang Zhenren said: "It's nothing, you are now the one hundred and ninth generation disciple of this sect, and the teacher has announced to you the three commandments that this sect must abide by!" ”

When I heard this, I chuckled in my heart, and finally understood why he looked at me and smiled maliciously, thinking that this so-called commandment must not be a good thing.

Sure enough, then Zhang Zhenren said: "There are three major rules and precepts of my Maoshan faction, which are no lewdness, ragged clothes, and no wealth. No lewdness means that you must not be close to women, which means that if you become a disciple of Maoshan, you will inevitably be extinct; Ragged clothes are not neatly dressed, and there must be holes in the clothes; To be deprived is not to hoard wealth and not to keep overnight money. Anyone who enters my Maoshan Gate must first abide by these three rules. ”

I was really dumbfounded when I heard this, in my cognition, this Maoshan Taoist priest seems to be able to get married, why can't he get close to women? And you can't get dressed and you can't have money? If you don't wear good clothes, you can just put on it, but you must wear the same old clothes, as long as you have money in your pocket, you can still live a nourishing life. But this wealth is really enough, as the old saying goes, although money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible. You say that there is no money, doesn't that mean waiting for death?
