At this time, I knew that Zhang Daoye's Baina Fu Demon Suit was powerful, Zhang Daoye stopped, sighed and said: "You are also a poor person, because your fate should be like this, you are the substitute ghost of this well, you hurt the people who don't deserve to die, I instinctively make your soul fly away with a sword, but God has the virtue of a good life, people have a heart of benevolence and righteousness, and I will spare you a ghost's life." ”

The female ghost hurriedly thanked her, and then Zhang Daoye said: "You are suffering from water stains and cold in the water, I don't know when it will end, I will overtake it for you, let you land on the shore early, and no longer suffer, are you willing?" ”

The female ghost hurriedly knelt down and said, "I am willing, thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

Zhang Daoye said to the female ghost: "You go to the well first, and I will replace your soul first." ”

With a slight wave of his hand, the female ghost was like a piece of paper, slowly floating to the well and falling down, Zhang Daoye saw the female ghost fall into the well, and said to me: "Bold, you throw the chicken into the well." ”

After I listened, I touched the red crown of the big rooster and said, "Big rooster, big rooster, can only let you in." ”

After saying that, I threw the big rooster directly into the well, and then Zhang Daoye danced there, and he danced with the sword, and sang in his mouth: "Life is rare for seventy years, and life is unknown; I don't believe it, but look at the moon on the horizon, how to reunite and fall to the west. Look at the stars and moon in the sky from afar, and see the water and mountains in the world up close; The green mountains and clear waters are still there, and people die and never come back. As soon as Si Jun went to Bei Mud City, he was so sad on the Huangquan Road; Whoever walks alone will be the companion, and the light will lead to the heavenly court......"

Zhang Daoye's tone at this time has completely changed, becoming hoarse and gloomy, the voice is a little shocking, there is an inexplicable heartache, after reading for a while, I saw a person coming out of the well, if it was a ghost just now, it was like a celestial man at this time, the face was as white as paper just now, and now it has become no different from ordinary people, there seems to be a faint light on the body, after the female ghost came out, she bowed to Zhang Daoye, Zhang Daoye nodded and said: "I'll give you another ride, so that the road will be a little easier, you listen well." Then he sang in that unusually deep tone: "Life is a lifetime of grass and spring, tender grass is afraid of frost and frost, the sun is afraid of clouds and flowers, and the sun is afraid of clouds, flowers and wind, birds are afraid of slingshots, fish are afraid of nets, and people are afraid of Yan Jun to hook the pen." Twenty-four filial piety sighed Wang Xiang, Ding Lang carved wood to call his mother, Meng Zong cried bamboo shoots in winter, and Mulian saved his mother to heaven. Nai He Bridge comes Nai He Bridge, seven inches wide and ten thousand feet high. The wind blows and sways, and the small wind blows and sways. Those who do good deeds cross the bridge, and the golden boy and jade girl cross the bridge together; The evildoer crossed the bridge, and the bull and the horse intersected. A fork is forked into the water center, and the wind blows and the waves press the water to drift. Fortunately, Tianzun came to help the suffering, and Cihang Pudu went to heaven ......"

Zhang Daoye has been dancing and singing there, the female ghost floated away, slowly walking farther and farther, until there was no trace, at this time Zhang Daoye was already sweating profusely, seeing the female ghost walking away, wiped his sweat, panted and said: "It is not easy to kill people easily, but fortunately, the female ghost listened to the persuasion and reported to the Yin Division." ”

At this time, the fool and the thin monkey came over and said to me: "Brother Daring, you and Dao Ye were muttering just now, as if they were talking to someone, and the thin monkey and I stared at it with wide eyes, and we couldn't see anything. ”

The thin monkey said, "Yes, yes, I feel the wind gusting and goosebumps straighten up." ”

I said, "What are you goosebumps for, I tell you, I was scared to death at the time, I tell you, I saw a female ghost at that time." ”

The thin monkey was frightened and involuntarily took a step back and said, "Brother Daring, is the female ghost you saw scary?" ”

I said, "Why isn't it scary, if you see it, you can scare that bird of yours into the crotch of your pants, that female ghost is two feet tall, with a green face and fangs, and a bloody mouth, by the way, the mouth is so big." ”

As I spoke, I gestured with my hand to show them, and then Zhang Daoye said loudly: "Don't blow it there, go, take the chicken and wine to your house to kill the chicken and drink, and I will tell your father about the apprenticeship." ”

At this time, when the fool and the thin monkey heard about the killing of chickens, their mouths drooled, and they looked at me with blank eyes, everyone is poor, and eating a meal of meat is like the New Year. At this time, Zhang Daoye said loudly: "Fool, thin monkey, you two also call your father, I will discuss with them and accept your three children as apprentices." ”

The fool and the thin monkey were stunned when they heard this, and I pushed the fool and said, "Fool, you are stupid, the Taoist master promised to accept us as apprentices, you hurry home and say something." ”

The two of them woke up like a dream, handed me the chicken and wine in their hands, and ran home, and I said in the back: "Fool, thin monkey, remember to go to my house." ”

Fool and skinny monkey agreed to get into the crowd, then my father and my mother and stupid and skinny monkey father and mother also came over, listen to Zhang Daoye accept our three children as apprentices, are very grateful, Zhang Daoye did the work, but the best job, in the village respected to eat open, we all happily returned home, my father was busy killing chickens, my mother took out the moth (a kind of mushroom, born in the woods on the mountain, old and black, delicious), The father and mother of the stupid and thin monkey also brought vegetables and the like at home, and the three families were busy putting together a table of dishes, and the last dish was a pot of chili stewed rooster, which was fragrant, and I and the stupid egg swallowed their saliva.

After a while, a small pot of rooster meat was served on the table under the gaze of our eyes, everyone had not moved the chopsticks, Zhang Daoye brought a black porcelain bowl, and made half a bowl of chicken with chopsticks, everyone didn't know what to do, Zhang Daoye smiled and said: "We adults don't eat anything, you can't wait to see that little gluttonous cat." ”

After finishing speaking, he brought most of the half bowl of chicken to us, and from that moment on, I knew that Zhang Daoye, our future master, really loved us. But me, the fool, the skinny monkey, and our younger siblings, ate this half bowl of chicken, we only ate one piece, and these younger brothers and sisters of ours ate two, even this one, we were satisfied, the chicken was spicy and delicious, and the mouth was fragrant. In retrospect, the smell of the meat still seems to be in my mouth.

My father and they discussed the apprenticeship ceremony, Zhang Daoye insisted on nothing, just a piece of paper, a stroke of ink, and finally selected the day of June 18, saying that that day was an auspicious day of the zodiac, and you can learn from the teacher, and also said that we would not be a Taoist member, and be a lay disciple of his old man.

We were so happy, walking on the village, I felt that those who didn't put us in their eyes, looked at us with a change in their eyes, and got ready, my mother mended my best clothes, washed them cleanly, and waited for June 18 to apprentice. On the day of June 18, Zhang Daoye accepted apprentices, as if he had wings, quickly spread, usually grateful to Zhang Daoye's kindness, more or less sent congratulatory gifts, there are chickens and ducks, and there are four steamed buns and nests, we wear the board to go there to see, only to see that the plaque of the Duxian Palace on the door is gone, replaced by the Three Treasures, it is written that the dragon and the phoenix dance, quite imposing. As soon as we entered the door, the cleaning was clean, there were a lot of people coming and going to see the excitement, we entered the house to see Zhang Daoye wearing a Taoist robe, sitting upright on the chair, we walked in respectfully, only to hear Zhang Daoye said majestically: "Heaven and earth monarch teacher, the parents of the person who gave birth to me, the master who taught me, once bowed, it is my apprentice, life and death discipline are all up to me, are you willing?" ”

We hurriedly said yes, and Zhang Daoye said: "Since you are willing, you will worship the ancestor first." ”

As he spoke, he led us to kneel down towards the three portraits, and I looked at the three portraits, which were the Yuqing Saint Realm Yuan Shi Tianzun, the Shangqing Realm Lingbao Tianzun, and the Taiqing Immortal Realm Daode Tianzun. Dao Ye knelt in front of the portrait of the patriarch and said: "The disciple today accepts Yang Zhendong and Li Baoguo, and Yu Tianning is a lay disciple, please protect the ancestor and bless the three stubborn disciples." ”

Then kowtow there, we followed the kowtow, to the end of the Taoist sat upright, the three of us formally apprenticed, after the Taoist drank the apprenticeship tea, officially became our master, because we are lay disciples, so there is no Taoist number, this is the first turning point in my life, by chance, became the master's lay disciples.
