Chapter 8: Finally getting started
Looking at the place in front of me that I love and hate, but also very familiar, I feel very embarrassed in my heart.
I spent eight or nine "difficult years" in this place, and I had just turned three when I was pulled by the old man to live here. From then on, the old man tortured me inhumanely.
Being beaten and scolded was secondary, and it was not uncommon for me to be left alone to sleep in a grave pile at the bottom of the mountain.
No wonder this old man doesn't want to live in my house to teach me, and he still talks about sectarian secrets, I just want to avoid my parents from abusing me.
and kept screaming at the baby apprentice.
What catches your eye is a Taoist temple surrounded by a wall, and the flat on the Taoist temple is engraved with three big characters of golden dragon flying phoenix dance: Tibetan Feather View. The old man said that he had carved the big characters himself.
Not to mention anything else, this old man also has some literary skills.
The original intention of the name of the Tibetan Feather Gate was to hope that the disciples in the door would keep a low profile and collect their feathers.
But as far as I can see, this old way is a strange thing, and it has to be publicized.
This Taoist temple covers an area of about 50 acres, and it is exaggerated and extravagant to live in such a large Taoist temple alone, and I blame my local tyrant father, who asked when building the Taoist temple: How big is it to build?
The old man replied, "The more the merrier." ”
There is a majestic bronze giant tripod at the main entrance of the Taoist temple, and I don't know how this thing came up.
Now I have been in the county town for almost a year, and I have opened my eyes, looking at this Taoist temple, my heart is dripping blood, I have repaired this thing in the era of 10,000 yuan, how much does it cost, this is all my money.
In other words: "I didn't know how rich my family was until I was twelve." ”
At this moment, it is early in the afternoon, and there are some incense in the temple, all of which are from the seven aunts and eight uncles and aunts in the nearby villages. ”
Every time I hear such praise, I will spray a few words in my heart: "You have it, can you change the modifier, Yushu Linfeng can't, is it difficult to change a handsome look?" ”
I don't know what magical power is in this temple, but as soon as I enter here, I will discipline myself, put down my package, change into my practice clothes, and start my daily meditation practice with this dead old man.
Following a Taoist priest is better than a monk, and this dinner is all about wine and meat.
There are many branches of Taoism, and many of them are taboo.
After dinner, the door was closed, and the old man took out his dog-like purple and gold robe.
The old man was holding a cyan sword, bathed in the bright moonlight on the purple gold robe, and a "Chuan" was engraved in the middle of the sword eyebrows, looking at the sky, with his black hair sandwiched in white silk, it was really majestic.
"Alright, the hour has come, you can kneel on the futon first." In the main hall, the old man pointed at the futon with his sword.
At this time, I was honestly tight.
"I'll explain the rules to you first."
After saying this, the old man began a long explanation of the door rules: "First... ”
However, the old man was so majestic now that I didn't dare to pant loudly when I knelt there.
After a long explanation, it finally came to an end.
"Can you comply with all of this?"
Just as he was about to nod, the dead old man said: "It doesn't matter if you can't abide by it, these are all made up by me with reference to various sects in the circle." ”
Seriously, if it weren't for the poor and lonely old man, I would have greeted his whole family.
At this time, the old man became sad: "When I was young, I was very busy, but it was much more lively than this, and there were hundreds of disciples in the door. I can't imagine that now... Providence makes people. ”
I haven't grown up since I heard this, but I'm just curious: "What about Uncle Shi?" ”
The old man was a little lonely: "Uncle Shi? It's all in the past. ”
I didn't think much of it when I heard this inexplicable thing, I just sat there on my knees honestly.
The old man pursed his lips, and there seemed to be some sparkle in his eyes: "Today is a happy day, the apprenticeship post will be waived, and I will make incense for you." Go and worship the ancestors of the past generations. ”
This time he took me to the side hall that I had never been allowed to enter before.
After seeing the scene inside, my scalp was numb, and there were dense tablets inside, from top to bottom until the 78th generation.
I remember the old man saying that he was the 78th generation.
I secretly thought in my heart: "So all the people on this are uncles?" ”
I seem to understand something in my heart, no wonder the old man has studied other people's door rules thoroughly, what a hatred.
But it's not good to ask carefully. After all, look at the old man's look....
I just worshipped obediently, and the master looked at me with tears in his eyes, and hope seemed to glint in the depths of his eyes. Nodding his head, he was smiling unpleasantly.
After a long time after the worship.
"I used to have firecrackers in unison, but now it's simple, give me a tea, and finish the ceremony after kneeling three times and knocking nine times." Seeing that I am so well-behaved, the master is pleased.
I respectfully served the tea. After kneeling three times and bowing with a solemn expression, he changed his sentence softly: "Master." ”
Master Lao Huai was relieved, and the whole person relaxed a lot, as if something that had been held in his heart for a long time had finally been completed.
But I don't know if it was my delusion, but at that moment I felt as if Master was getting a lot older.
In this way, I have one more kind and important person in my life: "Master." ”
After this apprenticeship, I also have a Taoist person, and I am a real insider. The trajectory of my life changed completely from this moment on.
Master looked at me with some emotion: "In the future, the pressure on you will be great, I hope you don't blame the teacher for taking you on this path." ”
I didn't understand it at the time, I just thought that it was just practice, meditating and meditating, but the days were a little duller, where did I think that the practice in my imagination was completely different from the real practice.
"No, Master. I will definitely work hard to shine on the lintel. "There was fortitude in my eyes. The cold face and the resolute eyes made the old man very reassured.
The master was stunned, and then his expression was like a glacier melting, and a ruffian smile finally appeared on his face: "Good, good! Good!! ”
After saying that, he pinched my face and smiled evilly: "Tired, aren't you?" ”
I felt the familiar Master come back, so I relaxed, "Dead old man, what do you want to do." ”
"Yo, you've just finished worshipping the teacher and you're starting to be presumptuous, right? You are still stunned when you want to escape from Master's grasp. ”
The master smiled sadly: "For the sake of the apprentice being so well-behaved, would it be good for the master to give you more food tomorrow?" After saying that, he pinched my face, which was not much flesh.
As soon as I thought of this, I was instantly stunned, I couldn't go against anyone I was, so I immediately changed my face to the villain: "Master, look at what you said, what should I do if I support my apprentice to death?" I'll give you the glorious lintel. ”
"Hmm~ It seems to make some sense"
I'm secretly proud, I can't fool you dead old man.
"Then let's just survive half to death. Alright, it's getting late, so let's get a good night's sleep. ”
