Bidding farewell to the people who fought and opened the martial arts hall, Lin Xiaoqiang discussed with Li Bing, if this is a legal name, then what should be taken? Li Bing said that I don't know about this. Didn't you have a name on the rivers and lakes before? Lin Xiaoqiang said, have you read too many novels? You think everyone has a name? There are all nicknames on the rivers and lakes, for example, when I said Xiaosanye, in fact, I also know that people call me Lin Xiaosan, that is a nickname. Li Bing said that I can't think of it, let's go back and ask the three first, people are serious veterans, what are the particularities and rules for choosing a name, that is clearer than us, let's ask them first.

Let's go back, and enter through the gate generously. I saw that Xiao Man opened the shop in the gatehouse again and sat inside looking at his mobile phone. Lin Xiaoqiang wanted to sit here for a while, but Xiaoman raised his head, saw that it was him, and continued to look at her mobile phone. Lin Xiaoqiang looked at it, Xiaoman didn't want to pay attention to himself, and he was embarrassed to be cheeky. Simply walked to the main hall, arrived at the main hall, saw that there was no one, continued to walk back, it turned out that the three old Taoists had finished the morning's affairs, and drank tea and rested in the restaurant. As soon as Lin Xiaoqiang came in, Lin Xiaoqiang was wearing civilian clothes, he didn't recognize it at first, but after a closer look, it was Lin Xiaoqiang, and he hurriedly beckoned him to sit down and drink tea. Drinking tea and chatting about the sky, the morning view is clean, and from the outsider's point of view, this is really an otherworldly monk's atmosphere.

After chatting for a while, Lin Xiaoqiang asked Zhigen Daoist and said that he was in charge, I am now in the view, what is that counting? Zhigen Dao said, "What do you mean by this?" What do you mean by what do you count? Lin Xiaoqiang said, I can't express it either, that's it, the three of you, you're all monks, right? You have a Dharma name or something. But what about me? What exactly is it? Chigen Michicho said, "That's what I asked." Oh, Senior Brother Xiaolin, this one, the three of us, it has been a monk for many years, and now the Taoist books have been transferred, which means that our household registration has fallen into our view. You are an old man here, and your hukou is also under our view. However, you don't have a Taoist status, and now you are reporting to you according to the layman, but you can rest assured, your hukou is in the view, although you are a layman, but the treatment is the same as that of a monk.

Lin Xiaoqiang said, then what if I want to become a monk? When the Zhigen Daoist heard this, his face was embarrassed, oops, this, this, the Dao Gate of the world, it is probably the Quanzhen Dao Gate and the Zheng Dao Gate. The three of us masters, who are from the Quanzhen Dao Sect, pay attention to eating and fasting, and have many rules. This, this, ahhh Zhigen Daoist is embarrassed to say, there is a woman in your house, and you are embarrassed to say that you want to become a monk? Let's talk nonsense. As soon as Lin Xiaoqiang heard him say that he was fasting and taking precepts, he knew that he meant Xiaoman. Pretended not to understand, and then asked, I heard that there is a way that you can eat meat wine and get married and have children?

That's right, inside the door, there is such a Taoist who lives in a fire, and he can also use meat and wine, and he can also marry him, as long as he fasts for a certain time. However, there are many differences between this gate and the Gate of the True Path. Senior Brother Xiaolin, I see that you are often learning talismans, and this is the habit of Zhengyimen. Look at us, there are many thoughts, but few moves. If you were to be specific, I wouldn't be able to finish it in those days. But why did you suddenly remember to ask about the ordination?

Lin Xiaoqiang said, oh, that's right. When I went out today, it suddenly occurred to me that I was now living in the temple, and no matter who came, they would treat me as a Taoist. But when I am called, it is still a common name, Xiaolin Xiaolin's, and I always feel uncomfortable. What I mean, see how you can give me a law name, when people call it, what kind of Taoist is it, how energetic.

When the three veterans heard this, they all laughed. The Taoist chief of the bottom said that Senior Brother Xiaolin, I have never heard of a law name in order to be energetic. I don't think it's necessary. The Taoist leaders of the past dynasties, there are many laymen who have been called all their lives, Changchun real people are so big Taoists, and now the world knows more than the three words Qiu Chuji? These things don't have to be forced. I think Senior Brother Xiaolin is also teaching a door, and in the future, he will also marry a wife and have children, so he will follow the name and surname of the common family, and when he is older, everyone will call you Lin Daochang. Out of the way, out of the way.

Oh, Lin Xiaoqiang thought about it, according to what they said, it also made sense. However, Lin Xiaoqiang wrote three words, which didn't seem to be atmospheric at all. Hey, why did you say that my dad gave him such a name, he was still called Xiaoqiang when he was eighty years old, but he was tender, but he was not domineering at all, even if he was called Lin Dongqiang, Lin Guoqiang, it sounded like that. According to what the person who opened the martial arts hall said, I really want to write out the big signboard, the museum is specially hired, Baozhen Guan Lin Xiaoqiang Dao Chang, why do you want to laugh so much. No, even if you take one randomly, you have to change the name.

Lin Xiaoqiang said, three senior brothers, although this does not need to be forced, but I always want to take a better way. In the future, we will carry it forward, and it is indispensable to have any communication when we go out, always called Lin Xiaoqiang, and others may also look at me differently. I'll trouble the three senior brothers, help me think of a kind of way, just call it good.

Zhigen Daoist said, this path number is not so simple, it doesn't mean that you can take it if you want to. Usually when I was apprenticing to a teacher, the teacher gave me a name and took a road name. If you are determined to become a monk and take precepts and fast, then the three of us can accept you as a substitute teacher and a disciple. But you see that it is being taught by one door, and the three of us are not good at adding chaos casually. But you're right, even though they are all cultivators, it's always inappropriate to have no teacher. I think so, let's also help you ask, you also visit yourself, if there is a suitable senior in the first door, or a senior brother, you worship him as a teacher, that is.

The two of them also nodded and said yes, in our city, there are still a few masters who are in the same door, if you can worship under their door, it will be good.

When Lin Xiaoqiang heard this, there was still a portal view. It's still difficult to get a Dharma name, I'm an immortal, do I still worship mortals as a teacher for a Dharma name? Are you kidding. Oops, that's not easy. After chatting for a while, he crossed the moon gate and went back to his small courtyard.

I changed my clothes and came to the temple to meditate. When Uncle Yang saw him coming back, he opened his eyes a little and nodded as a greeting. Lin Xiaoqiang saluted the uncle before sitting down. Seeing that Uncle Yang's spirit seemed to be good, he first tested it, Uncle Yang, how are you today?

Uncle Yang said slowly, it's okay today.

Oh, well, let me ask you something. It's not a matter of cultivation, I just want to ask, how did you get into this view in the first place?

Uncle Yang said, that's a lot of talking, I really don't have the energy.

So why didn't you become a monk?

Who says I'm not a monk? I stayed in Guanli for more than 100 years, and that was also a teacher who had Taoist origins. It's just that the world has changed, and in the end I don't want them to know. Being a fireworker is being a fireman, for me, it's not the same.

What the? Are you a monk? Are you kidding. I'll do the math, you're over 300 years old, and you've only been here for more than 100 years. It means that you only apprenticed when you were more than 200 years old, so you wouldn't worship a mortal, would you?

What's wrong with worshipping mortals?

Hey, this. Oops, I can't tell. Just now I was in front of me, and I told the three of them that I wanted to get a Dharma name, and I wanted them to get one for me, but they said that this and that were taught, and it seemed that it was not the same. Aren't they all Taoist priests? It's so stingy.

Uncle Yang is strange, why do you suddenly want to take the law number?

Lin Xiaoqiang said, from now on, I will stay in the view, with this magic circle, I will not be able to leave for the rest of my life. If you don't take a Dharma name, is that like a Taoist priest? When I go out in the future, I will still be Xiaoqiang Xiaoqiang at the age of eighty, and I don't feel very comfortable. There is such a thing right now, I said to advertise and make some money for Guanli, but my name is too loud to write it, hey.

Uncle Yang said, it turns out that this is the case. It's right to make money. As for you saying that you want a Dharma name, that's not a difficult thing. I'll just give you one. Go and call that kid over to him, and I'll tell him.

Can Uncle Yang give the law number? What's going on? Lin Xiaoqiang will be suspicious, and go to the front to ask for the root. As soon as Daoist Zhigen heard that it was Uncle Yang calling him, he hurriedly came to the back. gave Uncle Yang a courtesy, and Uncle Yang told the chief of Zhigen, Xiaoqiang, this kid, said today that he wanted a law name. He hadn't mentioned it before, and I hadn't thought of it either. I thought about it, since he settled down in Guanli, he can be regarded as a disciple of the Sanqing Sect, and it is not an exaggeration to give him a Dharma name. I know that you are the true way and do not allow you to marry a wife, so in the beginning, we separated the front yard and the back yard for this reason. In fact, in the final analysis, it's all about cultivation, so you don't have to worry too much about it, just let it be. But it can't be forced. In this way, you go and invite a few people with heads and faces in the city, even if Xiaoqiang is my disciple, even if he is a teacher.

In front of Uncle Yang, Zhigen Daoist is still restrained. Uncle's words, outside of the words, still said that he was stingy, and his face was a little unsightly. In the end, he asked him to invite someone, and his face was even more embarrassed. Uncle Yang didn't even need to open his eyes to know what he was thinking. smiled slightly, don't worry, they still have to give me this little face. In this way, please those people, and I'll tell you later, you can write an invitation in one place, and it will have my name, and you can send it all if you are troubled.

Speaking of this, what else can Zhigen Daoist say, only the chief Ji Shou said yes. took the pen and paper, Uncle Yang said, where, where, who, there are five names, and then said again, and then wrote Baozhenguan Yang Bridge. By the way, Director Ma must also be called for this matter, and Xiaoqiang will officially have a Taoist status in the future. Sooner rather than later, the time is set for three days, so I'm sorry for you.

Zhigen Daoist agreed to go out without mentioning it, Lin Xiaoqiang and Li Bing said, what kind of trouble is this going on, uncle? Hasn't he always been a fireman? Do you really have such a big face?

To cut a long story short, three days later, early in the morning, the front hall began to be lively. Fortunately, Zhigen Dao is honest and sends invitations everywhere, regardless of whether people come or not, prepare his own side first. Anyway, there is no shortage of money in the temple now, and after doing so many fasting rituals, some of them have experience. Listening to Uncle Yang's words, I'm afraid that I am going to have an apprenticeship ceremony today, and I can't be even more sloppy. Tables, chairs and benches, food and drink, incense and candles, are all ready to stop one by one. Early in the morning, the three old Taoists got up and cleaned the big yard. In fact, when sweeping the floor, Zhigen Daoist was still muttering, is this really someone coming? With such an invitation from Uncle Yang, do those big names really want to come?

Unexpectedly, it was only eight o'clock, and someone came. The first person to come is the head of the Jade Emperor Temple, the Taoist number Jingxuan, he is a door, and this Zhigen Taoist knows it. The chief inspector saluted, arranged seats for him and the few people he brought, and offered tea. Zhigen Daoist said that Uncle Yang is not in good health, so he can't come out to greet him one by one, just wait for all the guests to arrive and meet together. I hope you will forgive me. Daoist Jing Xuan said, don't dare, don't dare.

It's still polite here, and people are coming one after another. Zhigen Daoist was the master, so he naturally went to the gate to greet him, but Jingxuan Daoist didn't dare to sit down, so he took it out. The second one to come was a famous calligrapher in the city, and he was also a layman, but I didn't expect this. Then came the president of the Taoist Association of this city, who is also a Taoist chief; Then came an old road, this is the head of the Zhigen road for several hours to send it, the next small Taoist temple in the township, Jinghui Taoist. At first, I thought it was a monk, but I didn't expect it to be a seventy or eighty-year-old Taoist, who was also held by his disciples, and came to Baozhenguan to participate in this ceremony.

The last one was personally helped in by Director Ma, who was also in his eighties, with gray hair and wearing casual clothes. Zhigen Daoist inquired, but this is the former leader of the Provincial Religious Affairs Bureau, and he is still in the top three. I have retired and returned to my hometown in this city for many years, but I didn't expect Uncle Yang to have a really big face, and even these people were invited.

The guests came, plus the students and apprentices of these people, there were also more than 20 people. With so many people, the temple in Lin Xiaoqiang's small courtyard will definitely not be able to stand. The head of the road was greeting in the large courtyard, and the guests who came also greeted each other and chatted, and it was not quiet for a while. Zhigen Daoist quietly called Zhiben Daoist over and said, you go over there and ask what the next step is.

Zhiben Daoist said yes and came back. Lin Xiaoqiang passed the word that Uncle Yang couldn't move, so just invite the important ones over. Only then did the chief of Zhiben Daoist go to the front, and as soon as he said the meaning, these five people, together with Director Ma, came to the small courtyard at the back.

Although there were only seven or eight people here, the temple in the small courtyard was also crowded. Uncle Yang here, there is not even a place to sit, everyone can only stand and salute Uncle Yang first. There are also those who are called Uncle Shi, and there are also those who are called Uncle Shi, Jing Xuan and Jing Hui, the two Taoist chiefs, are actually called Uncle Taishi. There were two people in the room, no, three of them startled. One is Director Ma, Director Ma knew that this Uncle Yang was a junior, but he didn't expect him to be so big and his face to this extent, and he was secretly glad in his heart, fortunately, he hadn't treated Baozhenguan badly over the years, otherwise, hehe. The other two or the other two are Lin Xiaoqiang and Li Bing. Lin Xiaoqiang and Li Bing heard it, my mother, those two are called Uncle Taishi, the younger one is around sixty years old, and Uncle Yang's generation is too big. If he recognizes us as apprentices, the sixty-year-old will still call us Uncle Zu? Those who are seventy or eighty still call us uncles? Oh my god, it's scary.

Uncle Yang mentioned the spirit, but he didn't return the gift, and nodded even if it was a return of the gift. Said slowly, our branch, in the local area, I can still call a few of you. I've been cultivating in Guanli all these years, but fortunately, you haven't forgotten me as a person. I didn't want to work you, but if you didn't come, it would not be clear what happened in the future, so I had to call you here, which can be regarded as a witness.

Then greeted Daoist Jing Xuan, you are now the disciple of the head of the sect, and the others, although they are all higher than you, are not in charge of things specifically, and there are also those who are at home. So you have to remember this thing even more clearly.

Jing Xuandao said yes.

Uncle Yang raised his chin slightly and pointed at Lin Xiaoqiang, this kid has a lot of fate with me, and he has been taking care of me for the past two years, so he lives in Guanli, that is, he is a monk. I also practiced for two years. Originally, I had the intention to accept him as a disciple, but first, my own Taoist books are not clear now, and I am afraid that accepting apprentices will be even more unclear in the future. I mean, they are all at home, and they have never taken in apprentices in their lives. Jing Xuan, Jing Hui, you are a monk, I think, let him worship in the name of your master, even if you are a junior brother, people will still follow me. Do you have any opinions?

When Uncle Yang said this, these people were really shocked at first. If this Uncle Yang really accepts a little apprentice, a group of old men want to call him junior brother, uncle, uncle, and ancestor, which is too much. Fortunately, the old man's words changed and he was collected in Jingzi. This is a way to escape. What are the comments? Say you don't agree? The old man is not happy, you still don't do it? Okay, I'll take it myself, count me as my apprentice, you just call me junior brother, uncle, uncle, uncle, don't you find trouble for yourself? Everyone looks at each other, okay, that's it.

Uncle Yang nodded and said nothing. As soon as everyone saw what this meant, Uncle Yang was not in good spirits, so he said goodbye. Lin Xiaoqiang also came out, and when he arrived at the main hall and sat down, Daoist Jing Xuan said, then according to the meaning of the Taishi Uncle Zu, let's accept a junior brother. Lin Xiaoqiang, come here. I see that you have also grown your hair, Uncle Taishi is more anxious, wait for the preparations, and we can do the ceremony. Let me tell you first, our branch, I am my master's youngest apprentice, and the Jingzi generation is now just me and Senior Brother Jinghui. What does it mean, that is, our branch, there are seven or eight Taoist temples in the city, and there are hundreds of Taoist monks below, except for the five here, your generation is the largest.
