It was not someone else who came out of the darkness, but Wang Laodao, followed by four ghosts, all with yellow charms, and the first in line was Du Jiang, following behind Wang Laodao, dejected and listless, Wang Xiaobai saw clearly that it was Wang Laodao, lowered his head in shame, and shouted softly: "Master!" ”

Then I didn't know what to say, and I didn't dare to look at Wang Laodao, I felt sorry for him, obviously the two ghosts he wanted to catch were the best to catch, and he ran away, if the master didn't come in time, it would definitely take a lot of trouble, if Du Jiang hid, I am afraid that the hour would pass.

Wang Laodao was expressionless, walked over step by step, the two men and women who burned the paper were basically burned at this time, and the big night was already panicked, and suddenly an eighteen or nineteen-year-old dirty boy appeared, and he ran towards them like a nervous disorder, and after a while, he walked out of the darkness and walked out of the old road, the two were not scared, as if they had seen a ghost, the paper went home before it was burned through, and only Wang Laodao and Wang Xiaobai were left on the spacious street.

"Xiaobai, what's going on, let's talk about it!"

"It's such a master, that male ghost is called Du Jiang, and he is angry ...... ghost."

Wang Xiaobai told the cause and effect again, the more he said, the more uneasy he felt, the last level is equivalent to not finishing, he has not completed the task, and ran away with a male ghost, with Wang Laodao's strict character, will he really not accept himself as an apprentice? If you don't accept it, won't the past three years be like a dream?

The more Wang Xiaobai said, the quieter his voice became, Wang Laodao listened to it, didn't say anything, patted Wang Xiaobai's shoulder, signaled to follow him, Wang Xiaobai carefully followed Wang Laodao's side, Wang Laodao quickly walked out of the county, and did not go back to Huangxian Temple directly, but took a few ghosts and Wang Xiaobai to the riverside where the female corpse was once fished, and then walked towards Huangxian Temple.

Wang Xiaobai was like a prisoner waiting for trial, he didn't say anything, he followed Wang Laodao nervously, and walked to the woods of Huangxian Temple, Wang Laodao stopped, looked at the bright moon in the sky and pondered for a long time, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Okay, I know that I am wrong, I have the courage to bear it, I didn't beg for forgiveness, I dare to be a man, Xiaobai, do you know that if you find many excuses today and beg me for forgiveness, maybe I won't accept you as an apprentice, but you don't, it means that you can bear the failures and mistakes, I accept you as an apprentice!" ”

"Really, Master? Thank You, Master! Wang Xiaobai was ecstatic, a hanging heart finally let go, remembering that the hardships he had endured for three years finally had a result, his heart was sour, and he almost shed tears, Wang Laodao seemed to have let go of his thoughts, and said to him: "Xiaobai, I want to teach you something for the teacher today, you have to remember!" ”

"Master, you say, I must keep it in my heart!"

Wang Laodao turned his head and glanced at Wang Xiaobai, there was a trace of tenderness in his eyes, and he said softly: "You kid is kind-hearted and willing to help others, this is a good thing, but remember, rules are rules, since there are rules, then you can't commit them, no matter what kind of reason, take today's incident as an example, you gave the old lady five minutes to see her little grandson, she is a good ghost, keep her promises, it will not have an impact, but have you thought about it, is it necessary for you to maintain a good heart for Du Jiang?" ”

"Have you ever thought that if your kindness let Du Jiang run away and didn't go back to the underworld, then our Lingguan Dao Gate has not had an accident for thousands of years, but you made an exception, wouldn't the prestige and duty of Lingguan Dao for thousands of years be ruined in your hands?"

Wang Xiaobai lowered his head and said, "I know it's wrong, Master!" ”

Wang Laodao hummed and continued: "I don't really value these, we are in the same vein as a spiritual official, and there has never been a problem with the ** guard for thousands of years, and if there is an occasional mistake, it is not a big deal, but if Du Jiang runs away, under resentment, he harms the lives of the living, and you have to bear the cause and effect, and a person like Du Jiang is not a good person, and he can become a good ghost if he is a ghost?" If he is unwilling to die, he will continue to harm others, Xiaobai, that is what you have done! ”

Wang Xiaobai was sweating profusely when he listened, he didn't expect that Wang Laodao's analysis of the consequences would be so serious, however, there is indeed this possibility, Wang Laodao saw that Wang Xiaobai was seriously panicked, and felt that his words were a bit heavy, after all, Wang Xiaobai's starting point is good, and kindness is also rare, if it really makes him afraid of kindness in the future, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

"Xiaobai, good and evil are sometimes mutual, just like Tai Chi, unless you can distinguish the real good and evil, and see cause and effect, otherwise follow the simplest way, according to the rules and regulations, at least you can do it, just like today, if you don't listen to Du Jiang's nonsense, take him away, he can't escape, at least we are right, and, kindness, must be within your control, otherwise your kindness will bring trouble to yourself and others!"

Wang Laodao's words are too profound, although Wang Xiaobai is eighteen years old, but he still listens to a seeming understanding, Wang Laodao is not going deeper, striding with Wang Xiaobai and a few ghosts back to the Huangxian Temple, at this time it was already half past eleven, Wang Laodao brought five ghosts to the door, five ghosts obediently entered the temple gate, as soon as they entered the temple gate, there were more iron locks on their wrists, and suddenly appeared and tied to their hands.

Two ghosts, one black and one white, holding a spirit flag, both nodded to Wang Laodao, and then closed from both sides to the middle, closed**,**closed, Huangxian Temple changed back to its original appearance, the moonlight was gently sprinkled on the open space outside the temple, Wang Laodao walked to the desk, there was no name on the bamboo slip, Wang Laodao burned the bamboo slip, and gently recited the scriptures.

Wang Xiaobai stood aside, silently, waiting for Wang Laodao to finish, Wang Laodao recited the scriptures for a long time, it had to be half an hour, and it was exactly past twelve o'clock after reading, it was already July 16, Wang Laodao turned around, respectfully placed Wang Lingguan's divine position, took out fresh fruits from his backpack, lit three long incense sticks, and let Wang Xiaobai kowtow three heads to the divine throne with him, and then Wang Laodao took out a brand-new cyan Taoist robe from his backpack and gently handed it to Wang Xiaobai.

The whole scene is full of a sense of ceremony, Wang Xiaobai gently took the robe, carefully put it on his body, this robe Wang Xiaobai has never seen, presumably Wang Laodao has already prepared, just wait for this moment, the robe fits very well, the fabric is very general, and there is a Taoist hat, Wang Xiaobai wore the robe for the first time, some are not very adaptable, Wang Laodao came over, little by little to help him put the robe in order, and said softly: "This robe is easy to put on, but it is difficult to take it off, no matter what you do in this life, you are a person in the Daomen, wear this robe, It's not just a symbol, it's a legacy! ”

At this moment, Wang Xiaobai felt that Wang Laodao was a little affectionate from his master, just like his father talking to him that night, chattering, this kind of warm feeling, it's so good! Wang Xiaobai was a little moved, and put the robe on his body with the master, Wang Laodao looked at Wang Xiaobai who was wearing the robe, and couldn't help but be a little in a trance.

Wang Laodao is actually more moved than Wang Xiaobai, this is the bloodline, the law is connected, Lingguan Dao finally has a new heir, not cut off in his own hands, and, most importantly, Wang Xiaobai is a good child, kind-hearted, persistent, manly, good understanding, and high qualifications, how can he accept such a good apprentice?

After Wang Xiaobai put on the Taoist robe, he was very energetic, long and jade, he was really a young man, Wang Laodao's eyes were a little red, and he held back his emotions and said: "Xiaobai, the Taoist clothes are mainly green, the green is the Oriental Jiayi Wood, the position of the Thai hexagram, and the prosperity of the green dragon, it is the back vein of the Emperor of Donghua, and the cultivators wear the clothes made by the Yellow Emperor, that is, Hanfu, and do not wear other clothes." Therefore, Taoist clothing has not changed much for thousands of years. On some solemn occasions, you have to wear a dress, but you don't have to, you have to wear what you should wear. ”

"I know, Master!" Wang Xiaobai put on a Taoist uniform, felt very comfortable, looked left and right, and felt that he should be like a young hero in the TV series, this is an ancient costume, unfortunately there is no mirror, the mobile phone has long been out of battery, or take two selfies, how beautiful it should be.

Wang Laodao looked at Wang Xiaobai, smiled silently, and waited for him to be almost stunned, before he said softly: "Xiaobai, go and move the Taishi chair over and put it under the ancestral master's throne in the middle of the desk." ”

"Yes, Master!" Wang Xiaobai stopped chattering, walked to the door of Huangxian Temple and moved the Taishi chair that Huang Erye had sat on to the front of the desk, under the god seat, Wang Laodao lifted his robe, walked to the side of the Taishi chair, sat down slowly, raised the shelf, looked at Wang Xiaobai and said in a deep voice: "Apprentice!" ”

There are quite a lot of rules for apprenticeship in ancient times, but in addition to the fact that they did not formally apprentice, their master and apprentice have long been in a master-apprentice relationship, and the era is different, and it is quite troublesome to follow the old rules, so Wang Xiaobai's so-called apprenticeship is actually a matter of kowtowing three heads.

Three heads, Wang Xiaobai waited for three years, and finally it was this moment, Wang Xiaobai's excitement can be imagined, his heart was quite excited, he respectfully walked to Wang Laodao's side, knelt down gently, looked at Wang Laodao, Lao Dao nodded at him, Wang Xiaobai said loudly: "Apprentice Wang Xiaobai, kowtow to the master!" ”

Wang Xiaobai's head knock is quite real, bang, Wang Laodao was a little distressed, but he still held back, Wang Xiaobai continued to kowtow two heads, but he didn't raise his head after kowtowing, his body was trembling, Wang Laodao was a little curious and a little worried, and asked, "Xiaobai, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wang Xiaobai slowly raised his head, already in tears, and said softly: "Master, I'm happy, I finally became your apprentice, I didn't disappoint you, I didn't let myself down, I persevered, I will be filial to you in the future......"

Wang Laodao's tears were suddenly said by Wang Xiaobai, trembling and helping Wang Xiaobai up: "Good boy, good boy, get up, this is our fate, I can accept you as an apprentice, I am also happy......"
