Chapter 12: Apprenticeship with a bad old man
When I got home, I slept until the evening. Get up and sit there for a while. Scrub and go out. Go to work in good spirits. Liu Jun fantasized in his head that he had learned Taoism and made a lot of money. Walk is floating. Walk in front of the bun stall first, this bun stall is at the entrance of the community when you get off work in the morning and evening, why not at noon? Well, because the chengguan went to work.
"Boss, come to the drawer of buns, and ask for the expensive one." Liu Junhao said angrily. Look, the salary has not been paid yet, but this momentum, this standard of living, immediately went up.
"Meat buns? Nine pieces! The boss asked with a strange look at him. Think about what this thing is, buy a bun and put it on a local tyrant.
arrogantly took out ten yuan, stretched out his hand and waited for the boss to find a dollar. The boss handed the bun and the dollar he was looking for to Liu Jun. By the way, he gave him an unknown look, but he didn't care, and went to wait for the bus with the buns he bought for nine yuan. Before the car came, I stuffed the buns one by one, not to mention, this meat bun is more fragrant than the vegetable bun.
Liu Jun was eating steamed buns and wondering if he should wait for his salary to be paid and buy an electric donkey. It's not very convenient to squeeze the bus all the time.
After waiting for a while, I got on the bus, and it didn't take long for me to arrive at the station, get off the bus, and come to the door of the store.
The door of the store is still hidden. I took out my phone and looked at the time, it was just eight o'clock. Mo Li definitely hasn't gone downstairs yet. Pushing open the door, it was pitch black. When I turned on the light, I saw the old man on the Taishi chair with his eyes closed, and the area around his mouth was red, like a blood mark. At that time, a bunch of murders flashed through my head, such as the assassination of the enemy, the revenge of the ghost, and so on.
Liu Jun panicked at that time, and rushed forward with an arrow step, pinching the old man's middle man hard.
"Master, Master, old man, wake up." Liu Jun shouted anxiously. While thinking, I haven't officially apprenticed to the master, so I killed the master first, what kind of life is this, the old man hasn't taught me Taoism, I can't make money without Taoism, and I can't afford to eat buns if I can't make money. I'm too miserable. Who is this, to be so vicious to an old man. These thoughts flashed through the lightning.
"It hurts, it hurts, you little rabbit cub wants to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestor before you have even apprenticed? What are you pinching my people for? The old man suddenly opened his eyes and said. Liu Jun was overly sad, and the old man suddenly got up, almost not scaring him.
"Aren't I in a hurry, seeing that your eyes are closed, and the corners of your mouth seem to have blood, I thought you drove to the west." Liu Jun replied calmly.
"Can you speak, you just drove the crane west, this dragon fruit given by Aunt Wang next door, I ate a dragon fruit, and almost let you pinch it to see Master Zu." The old man looked at Liu Jun suspiciously and said. It doesn't look like a person who can care about himself.
"Ah, haha, in a hurry, I'm a little stronger, Master, hurry up and take me to the apprenticeship ceremony." Liu Jun hurriedly changed the subject.
"Let's go, follow me upstairs, after you are my official apprentice, you can also go up to the second floor." The old man didn't care, and said as he turned and walked upstairs.
Liu Jun followed the old man up the stairs. I walked to the second floor and looked at it, it was the second floor of an ordinary building, and there was nothing special. If there's anything really special, it's that there's something like a gossip plate hanging on the wall. The old man opened the door on the right-hand side and walked in. Liu Jun looked to the left, and Brother Dog was lying on his stomach at the door on the left, which should be Mo Li's house. Brother Dog raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Jun, ignored him, and went back on his stomach. Hehe, this broken dog, arrogant hammer. Liu Jun thought as he gave Brother Dog a look of disdain. Probably sensing his eyes, Brother Dog stood up with a snort. Frightened, he took three steps and two steps into the room where the old man had entered.
When I entered the house, I saw two portraits on the wall. On the left, a Taoist wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist crown is depicted, holding a sword in his left hand, and a tiger riding on auspicious clouds sits. It says that Zhengyi is teaching Zhang Tianshi. On the right side is a Taoist man holding a astrolabe, a sword at his waist, and wearing a Taoist robe. There are no words on it. In front of the portrait is a quaint long table with an incense burner in the middle, offerings on both sides, and a tortoise shell.
Although Liu Jun didn't know why there was a turtle shell there, he generally knew that this thing was supposed to be a fortune teller. There are three futons in front of the table. There is a sword hanging on the side wall, which looks quite valuable, not set with diamonds but set with precious stones.
"Come here, in front of the patriarch, I'll ask you again. If you become my apprentice, you will become a real Taoist priest, because our lineage has also inherited divination, so you will also have five disadvantages and three shortcomings. They will also face all kinds of dangers, which can be injured, killed, or even scattered. Are you still willing to worship me as a teacher? The old man beckoned him over and said to Liu Jun solemnly.
"What, if I don't apprentice, will you teach me Taoism?" Liu Jun asked in a low voice.
"No!" The old man's sun, blood, and muscles bulged, and he held back these two words.
"Then what else do you ask, I agree to apprentice." Liu Jun said. This old man is really interesting, if you don't learn from a teacher or teach Taoism, if you don't teach Taoism, I won't be able to make a lot of money, and if I can't make a lot of money, I can't afford to eat steamed buns, and if I can't afford to eat steamed buns, it will be equivalent to killing me. There is no other choice.
"Kowtow to Master Zu" The old man ignored him and said directly. Yoo Jun did so honestly. Walked to the futon, knelt down honestly, kowtowed, and got up.
"What are you doing standing up? Three! The old man said angrily.
"What's fierce, you didn't say a few just now." Liu Jun stiffened his breath. What's wrong with Master, Master doesn't need to be reasonable, let's just be so tough, stand on the side of reason, mighty and unyielding.
"Qiang" The old man pulled out the sword, put it in his hand and carried it, the sword was bright, and it looked like it had opened the blade, and it was estimated that there would be a sword tip left when they poked them.
Oh I'm going, who's to scare me, buddy, this grumpy. However, respecting teachers is a noble virtue that our generation should have. I saw Liu Jun kneeling on the futon with a thud and knocking his head three times. got up and picked up the incense, bowed with a serious face, and inserted the incense into the incense burner. This line of flowing water, without ink, stunned the old man.
"Master, I'm done praying, what are the next rituals? I'll listen to you honestly," Liu Jun respectfully looked down at the big sword in the old man's hand. The old man who knows how to make a big sword asks if you are afraid! I can't afford to provoke it.
"Since you have entered my door and become a cultivator, you should have a path number. My Taoist number is Qingfengzi, and when I get it for you later, I will also have a sub-word at the back. The old man looked at Liu Jun's current appearance with satisfaction and said.
"Yes, yes, it's all up to you." Yoo Jun respectfully.
"The disciple has accepted a new disciple today, please give the name of the patriarch." The old man said respectfully to the portrait of the grandfather.
Then the old man picked up the turtle shell, took out a few copper coins from his arms, stuffed them, shook them slightly, and poured them on the table. Liu Jun and the old man are watching. I saw that the copper coins on the table flashed with a burst of golden light, and when they were stacked together, the golden light dimmed.
"Thank you for the name." The old man bowed respectfully again.
What's the situation? What happened? What did the patriarch say? Is this name given? Why didn't I know? Yoo Joon danced with a bunch of hellos in his mind.
