Chapter 15: Apprenticeship

Early the next morning, the bear blind man and the weasel left, the opposite side of the relationship for more than a month, at this time I was a little reluctant to part, the weasel was very numb before turning around and said to me, what green mountains do not change the green water flows, hehehe, I simply replied that there will be a period later, see you in five years.

In the past, the picture of the yellow squirrel making noise next to me and ridiculing the blind bear is vivid, but today I am really a little unaccustomed to it.

There are not many Taoist priests in this cloud view, counting the lay disciples, and counting the miscellaneous servants, there are about 70 people, and the Taoist temple is very large, so the comparison seems that I am very small.

I silently walked back to the Pure Heart Palace, intending to accept the master's teachings, both come and be safe, during the day I study art devoutly, and at night it is also very good to secretly read "The Secret Art of Lotu" and think about it.

As soon as he stepped into the temple gate, he saw that in addition to Qingyang Zhenren, there were four other people, all dressed as lay disciples, and one of them was standing next to the real person, who was the middle-aged man when they met for the first time yesterday.

The other three were already kneeling on the ground, facing the portrait of Lao Tzu, and there was a cushion underneath the portrait, where the real person was kneeling. I came to him and knelt down.

"There are three festivals for the worship ceremony, and one is the worship of the patriarch. Bow and bow! The disciple next to the real person shouted loudly, and the word worship was shouted three times in a row, and I and the other three people bowed three times. This first feast was completed.

But I heard him shout again.

"Second festival, apprenticeship, one bow, worship!" , I followed the voice, kowtowed to the real person three times, this time I got up, I couldn't help but be curious, the real person is the Taoist chief of the Taoist temple, it stands to reason that the Taoist priests here are all his disciples, how can only the four of us worship the teacher?

I can't figure it out at the moment, and I plan to ask the people around me when I'm done.

"Three sections, Master's reprimand." After the man finished shouting, he knelt down in the position of the leader, Qingyang Zhenren opened his eyes slightly, glanced at everyone, and slowly spoke.

"Now that you have entered my door, you must obey the rules of the teacher, do good deeds, abstain from greed, and keep quiet. Thou shalt not disobey one's parents and teachers, do not kill and slaughter, do not rebel against the king, do not slander one's flesh and blood, do not slander the Tao, and do not defile the altar of tranquility ......"

Qingyang Zhenren spoke for about half an hour, all of them are some Taoist etiquette, code of conduct, I listened tirelessly, I always feel that there is a lot of knowledge in this, but what it is, I don't know for the time being.

"Remember!" After saying the last sentence, the man kneeling at the front stood up and said to us, "Finish! ”

I secretly rubbed my sore knees, this kneeling was an hour, but it cost me my life. Raise your head and continue listening to the real person.

"Xiao Lin, today is the first day of your apprenticeship, and after that, you should study, you must not fight with your senior brother, let alone be angry, let Lin Chen teach you later."

The old man got up and walked away, as if there was a big fat chicken waiting for him to eat. When the people next to me saw that the old road was gone, they helped me up, surrounded me, and chattered nonsense.

"Little junior brother, I'm your second senior brother!"

"Little junior brother, in the future, everything in the Pure Heart Hall will be handed over to you!"

"I look at the bones of the little junior brother and I am surprised, is it not the body of a child?"

I looked through their questions and found that I couldn't answer any of them, and I was still a child, are all Taoist priests so open now?

"Ahem, don't make a fuss, let the little junior brother say."

The man named Lin Chen suddenly coughed and interjected, which made these Taoist priests who had discovered the novelty treasure stop. I hugged my fist at them, "Hello senior brothers, junior brother Ji Wulin, please take care of me in the future." ”

After I said this, they were talking nonsense again,

"Oh, don't worry, junior brother, we will naturally take care of you."

"You take a break, third senior brother, have you forgotten that when I first came, you stole my ass?"

"Okay, okay, let's not make a fuss."

The last sentence was still said by Lin Chen, and I saw him come forward and say to me.

"We are all disciples of the master, my name is Lin Chen, and my name is Shouren. "Nai's senior brother" then paused and introduced me one by one, "This beautiful man is your second senior brother Su Zhi, the word Shouyi, this is your third senior brother, He Pan, the word Shouli, and the fourth senior brother Liao Yuan, the word Shouzhi." ”

I hurriedly arched my hand to them and said, "I've seen your senior brothers! ”

The four of them didn't return the salute to me without any.

"In the morning, you must get up at five watches to read, sweep the room, eat at the hour, listen to the teacher's sermon at the hour, rest at noon, and cultivate the fruit from time to time, so that there is something else to do, and you will tell it slowly in the future."

I nodded yes, and the fourth senior brother next to me hurriedly interjected, "Little junior brother, in the future, Master's Pure Heart Hall will be cleaned by you, haha, I can sleep for half an hour more!" ”

I nodded noncommittally. Lin Chen said again, "Okay, you go to the meditation hall to listen to the master's preaching, and I will take the junior brother to his residence." ”

......

The view in the clouds is very large, much bigger than I imagined, along the Koutian Road all the way up, come to a platform, the platform is square, there is a huge ancient stone carving at each of the four corners, the appearance is domineering and abnormal, the momentum is magnificent, about three zhang high, each guards one side. There is also an incense burner in the center. There are three sticks of Daoyu lotus case incense on it, and the smoke of the incense drifts far away.

The aura of arrogance exuded by these four divine beasts produced a strong sense of oppression, and I was horrified in my heart, and my body unconsciously retreated behind Lin Chen.

He smiled faintly and explained to me, "Little junior brother don't need to panic, these are the four major divine beasts of our sect, which are divided into, the Divine Monarch of the Ruling Pact (Xuanwu), the Lingguang Divine Monarch (Vermilion Bird), the Mengzhang Divine Monarch (Qinglong), and the Guardian Divine Monarch (White Tiger), which stood here three hundred years ago. The bronzing Zexuan furnace in the middle is a gift from the master to the old man when he enters the mountain. ”

I nodded, Lin Chen took me to continue walking to the east, when I passed by Meng Zhang Shenjun, I took a special look, and found that its horns were like deer, its head was like a camel, its eyes were like rabbits, its necks were like snakes, its abdomen was like mirages, its scales were like carp, its claws were like eagles, its palms were like tigers, and its ears were like cows, as if it was a hybrid of hundreds of animals, but even so, the nondescript combination was so domineering that people didn't dare to look at it directly.

Walking through a secluded wooded path, we arrived at our own quarters, where only the in-house disciples had separate dormitories, and those outlying disciples could only live in their respective temples.

And our place of residence, unlike what I imagined at the beginning, was that it was a row of ordinary small houses, or a chase shop.

But when I got here, I realized that the houses here were all built on the hill, and from my vantage point, each house was scattered, each with its own characteristics, and it was not together.

For example, my house is in the middle of a bamboo forest, surrounded by bamboo, and there is no one else. I can't help but applaud this design, and the dilapidated house in my mind has become a single-family cottage in a blink of an eye!

"This is your room, I will live here in the future, the lower left is your fourth senior brother's room, I am next to the sword pool above you, there is something to explore. You can move around a lot at night when you have nothing to do. ”

After that, Lin Chen left, as the senior brother of Yunzhongguan, he still had a lot of things to deal with, and I happily pushed open the door of the villa and walked in.

The first thing that catches your eye is an incense case facing the door, and there is a pair of words on it, only a simple word, "Dao".

There is a small incense burner on the incense table, there is no incense in it, and a little further on is the wooden couch, which is the place to entertain guests, with a main seat and four auxiliary seats.

On the left side of the room, there are two rows of prices, and there are rare treasures on the shelves, all of which are some common study gadgets.

There was a soft couch with a curtain, two bookshelves, a lot of open space, and a partition next to the bookshelf, I went up and opened it, and found a small bucket inside, which I used to use the toilet.

Going forward, I pushed open a small door, there is also a backyard here, the backyard is empty, there is nothing, but the greenery is very dense, thinking that I can grow vegetables in this way in the future, or raise some small animals I like.

I was very satisfied with this residence, and when I remembered the treatment that I had never had in my hometown, I was in a good mood, and even the weasel left and forgot three or two points.

I hummed a little song as I walked out. Knowing where he lives, he will go back, and the master will give a lecture in a while.

Passing by the Four Beast Platforms, the feeling of oppression and suffocation came to my face again. I was so frightened that I quickened my pace and walked down the mountain.

Just after a few steps, something suddenly occurred to me....

Where have you seen these four divine beasts?

PS: Wu Lin's book doesn't seem to be read, I hope that the big people who are reading the book can vote for me, help Wu Lin, thank you here!
