When I was on the plane, the little Taoist looked at me curiously, after the initial embarrassment, I also began to communicate with the little Taoist boy, knowing that his name was Zhang Daobao, a disciple of the Zhang family Taoist generation, as early as when he was three years old, he was brought out by Zhang Longtu from a small mountain village in Sichuan, not so much Zhang Longtu is his teacher, but his father is more appropriate.
I glanced at Zhang Longtu curiously, could it be that this Zhang family has taken apprentices since childhood, and how can they all be surnamed Zhang, could it be that the Zhang family only accepts apprentices with the surname Zhang?
Zhang Longtu obviously understood my doubts, because there were only three of us in the first class, so Zhang Longtu thought for a while, or turned his head and said to me, "This is a door rule of our Zhangjia Dao system, that is, before joining the Zhangjia Dao system, no matter what your name is, it is just a common name, after joining the Zhang family, your master will grant you a Taoist name, which is considered a monk, and this Taoist name is surnamed Zhang, so when you arrive at the Zhang family, you will also be awarded a Taoist name." โ
I closed my eyes, although I was used to hearing the name Jiangliu, but to be honest, the pain represented by this name was so much that I couldn't bear it, besides, there was also a Jiangliu before, and there was a new Taoist name, for me, it can be regarded as saying goodbye to the past.
So I don't have much resistance, for now, what I want to do most is to join the Zhang family and cultivate the top three flowers, so that I can wake up the red medicine.
As soon as I thought of the red medicine, my eyes softened, red medicine, you must wait for me, I will definitely wake you up.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, we came out of the airport, and went directly to Zhang's house, in fact, I also learned about the Zhang family on the plane, this Zhang's family can indeed be said to be a powerful vein in the metaphysical world, because this Zhang family is actually a vein of the Wudou Mijiao founded by Zhang Daoling in Longhu Mountain, before this metaphysical world is a fog, it can be said that Zhang Daoling's birth is like a bright sun that illuminates the entire metaphysical world for two thousand years.
It can be said that Zhang Daoling is not born in the sky, and Taoist metaphysics is like a dark night for thousands of years.
As soon as I remembered that I was about to worship under such a behemoth, my mood to say that there were no ups and downs was not at all false.
The car departed from Nanchang, Jiangxi, until seven o'clock in the evening, only to drive to the foot of a mountain, we drove up along the mountain road, and soon reached the top of the mountain, there is a rather simple brick house on the top of the mountain, after arriving at the door of the house, the car stopped, after a few of us got out of the car, Zhang Daobao stood obediently at the door, and Zhang Longtu took me into the house.
As if sensing my doubts, Zhang Longtu opened his mouth and said, "Dao Bao is a third-generation disciple, and he is not qualified to enter the main peak. โ
I sighed, and I didn't think much about it, this room looks very simple outside, after entering, there is no luxury inside, just a layer of white paint on the wall, in the middle of the first floor is a Taoist priest riding a tiger, there is an incense case in front of the picture, and a few incense sticks are burning on the incense case.
Zhang Longtu stepped forward and took a few sticks of incense and bowed to Natu, and after inserting the incense, he turned his head to me and said, "I have seen Master Zu first!" โ
I nodded, and was just about to go to get the incense, when suddenly a voice came, "Wait." โ
I frowned, turned my head, and just saw a woman in white walking down the stairs, the woman was very beautiful, or cute, looking eighteen or nineteen years old, very youthful and moving.
"What's wrong? Sister. Zhang Longtu frowned and glanced at the woman.
"This is the little junior brother?" The woman glanced at me and said, "It's not a big deal, I really don't understand why the master broke the vow and accepted him as a closed disciple, the master made a big wish before, saying that he would no longer accept apprentices in this life, this time he actually broke the vows for this kid, what will happen to the master, senior brother, you should also be very clear." โ
Zhang Longtu laughed softly, "Master, I don't know what the old man means. โ
At this time, the woman walked up to me and looked at me twice, "I don't care, I don't recognize this junior brother anyway." โ
I ignored this woman, bypassed her, took the incense in Zhang Longtu's hand, and bowed twice to the ancestral master picture hanging on the wall, and then inserted the incense.
"Look at you, he's not happy to say two sentences, he doesn't even take me as a senior sister in his eyes!" The woman pointed at me and spoke.
Zhang Longtu smiled helplessly, "Long Ling, you too, will you die if you don't say a few words?" The little junior brother is actually very bitter. โ
"No matter how bitter it is, it's an outsider, anyway, I don't admit it, the words have already been put aside, you can do it yourself." Zhang Longling gave me a blank look, turned his head and left.
"Her temper is like this, she just can't get used to seeing Master ...... for you" Halfway through the words, Zhang Longtu sighed, "Forget it, you go upstairs to see Master, I think, he should have something to say to you." โ
I was stunned, from this conversation between Zhang Longling and Zhang Longtu, I got a very important information, that is, Zhang Longtu and Zhang Longling's master, it seems that in order to accept me as an apprentice, they violated the oath they made, and suffered backlash or something, anyway, the cost is very large.
I took a deep breath, I don't know why, I suddenly felt a touch of emotion in my heart for the cheap master I had never met, I don't know why he did this to me, but this is the only warmth I have felt these days.
Zhang Longling glared at me, stopped on the stairs, and opened his arms, "I don't care, anyway, I don't allow this kid to meet Master!" โ
"Senior sister!" Zhang Longtu was also a little angry at this time, glared at Zhang Longling, and his voice instantly became serious.
"Senior brother, even you murdered me for this kid!!" There was a hint of mist in Zhang Longling's eyes, and she turned her head to look at me fiercely, "I hate you!" โ
I pursed my lips, it's really a person who can step on wherever he walks, I didn't do anything, and I offended someone for some reason.
But after Zhang Longling left, it was also vacant to go upstairs, I walked upstairs, I don't know why, this walk, I felt a wave of warmth surging into my heart, how to say, as if there was a huge stove upstairs, but this stove is the warmth of the heart, just a few steps, I feel that the violence and hatred in my heart are slowly washed away.
By the time I got to the second floor, I was ethereal.
At this time, a voice came from the room on the second floor, "Coming?" โ
Hearing this kind voice, I don't know why, I suddenly felt my nose sour, how to say, as if a child was being bullied, seeing his parents, I stood in place, a little choked.
"Come in if you're here, good boy." The old voice rang out again.
I nodded, pushed the door open and walked in, the room was large and empty, with a word hanging on the wall in the big room, and in the middle of the room, sat an old man with gray hair and a wrinkled face.
The old man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and he looked very ordinary, how to say it, there was no difference from ordinary old people.
"Sit down." The old man opened Gu Bo's unfazed eyes, pointed to the futon in front of him, and spoke.
I nodded, walked over to the old man, and sat down.
"You've suffered these days, kid." When I sat down, the old man looked at me with his eyes open, and the kindness in his eyes quickly melted the ice in my heart like the sun, and made my nose more and more sour.
I sat there and didn't know what to say all of a sudden.
"Your affairs, I know, these are the calamities you should have survived, you are destined to suffer, only by struggling in the endless sea of suffering, you can reach the other side." The old man's voice was full of care.
I looked at the old man with some curiosity, I knew that he was a Taoist person, and it could even be said that he was currently a Taoist power-level existence in the metaphysical world, but why did he say that he was talking about the sea of suffering and the other side, aren't these special terms for Buddhism?
"As long as you can ask, what are the factions?" The old man seemed to sense my doubts, and explained with a smile.
I was stunned, and secretly said that the gap between myself and the old man was really amazing, and his words were full of Zen, so I couldn't help but correct my body.
"Long Ling's little girl is difficult for you just now, don't take it seriously, that little girl is just straightforward, and she is also a very obedient good boy, I hope you don't hold a grudge against her." The old man looked at me and spoke.
I nodded, I hadn't said a word since I came in, but the old man seemed to know what was going on in my heart, and he didn't need me to open his mouth at all, and just said the answer I wanted.
"You must want to ask, where is it for you, I will take you as an apprentice at such a big price." The old man looked up at me.
I nodded, and this was indeed what I was curious about.
"Nothing else, it's just that I don't think people can live so desperately, people always need someone to pull themselves when they are in a desperate situation, don't they? Because of your special identity, no one dares to pull you, so why not let me sacrifice myself and pull you? The old man laughed, "At least you can know one thing now, it's not that no one cares about you in this world, no one really treats you well, at least there's me, an old guy who walks into the coffin with half a foot, isn't it?" โ
I was stunned, my nose was sore to the extreme, my tear ducts were greatly stimulated, and I kept telling myself in my heart.
Can't cry, can't cry, can't cry.
But I don't know why, the tears still fall uncontrollably.
The old man stretched out his hand and touched my head, and said, "Before, you felt that you were only one person, and you were full of despair about life, but now it's okay, if you don't have a family, I will give it to your family, I am your family, your senior brother is your family, your senior sister is also your family, and our entire Zhang family is your family!" โ
I reached out and wiped my tears, and without the slightest resistance, I choked up, "Master." โ
"Good boy." The old man retracted his hand, "The first time we met, there is nothing to give you, this jade pendant engraved with the meditation mantra should be my gift to you, this pure heart mantra is the first of the eight god mantras, as the name suggests, it is a mantra used by cultivators to purify their body and mind, eliminate distracting thoughts, and stabilize their minds when they do homework and learn talismans in the morning and evening." This mantra can make the mind fall into silence, return to the mind of the Tao, and enter into tranquility. And it has the effect of protecting the soul and protecting the soul. You have demons, this piece of jade is the most suitable for you. โ
I took the piece of jade from the old man's hand, and only saw a few words engraved on the piece of jade, "Taishang Taixing, strain without stopping, drive away evil spirits and bound charms, protect life and body, wisdom and purity, peace of mind, three souls are eternal, and there is no loss of soul." โ
Just by looking at it, I felt that my mood was extremely ethereal.
"I have been cultivating this piece of jade for fifty or sixty years, and it is the only jade that I have cultivated after entering old age, I hope you can be worthy of this meditation mantra, and recite it as homework in the morning and evening in the future, after a long time, the demons will naturally not come out to make trouble." The old man looked at me and spoke.
I nodded, knowing that he was talking about Zhao Lian Buddha.
"Everything in this world is actually just red dust, you can't let the red dust mess with your own heart, human nature has good and evil, you can't veto everyone in this world because of your own experience, there is true love in the world, you must remember what the teacher said today." As I said this, I noticeably noticed that the old man's cheeks were getting older, as if he were about to die.
My heart tightened, and I just wanted to ask him if there was anything wrong, but the old man smiled and said, "What I can teach you is in that piece of jade, and you will slowly know in the future, Master led you into the door, cultivation is in the individual, without the master, in the future, if you have problems with your cultivation, you can ask your senior brother, and when the senior brother is not there, you can ask Uncle Zhang Yuyang of Tiger Peak." โ
No Master here?
I looked at Master in shock, already realizing something, and I took a deep breath hard, "Why, you don't do this, if you turn a blind eye to me, then it won't be like this." โ
"Hope always needs to be passed on, I saw the shadow of me in you, when your ancestor pulled me, when it was my turn, I will pull you no matter what, as long as I can pull you out of the endless darkness of despair even a little, what I did is worth it, okay, I should also name you." The master glanced at me and said, "In the future, when you are a person and do things, you have to ask your heart, you can call Zhang Longxin, okay, Longxin, you go downstairs, call your senior brother and sister to come up." โ
When I went downstairs, Zhang Longling saw the piece of jade I was holding in my hand, his pupils shrank, and he suddenly began to cry.
Senior Brother Zhang Longtu also sighed, glanced at me, came up and patted me on the shoulder, "This is Master's choice, don't go to your heart, go up together, listen to ......"
When he said this, Zhang Longtu's voice was also a little choked, "Master's last words." โ
These words smashed into my mind like a thunderbolt from the sky, making my mind blank, I finally felt that some people were really good to me, just met, he was leaving?
Words?
I took a deep breath, remembering that Zhang Longling glanced at the piece of jade in my hand just now, and understood a little in my heart, thinking that the master broke his oath in order to accept me as a disciple, and he has been relying on the jade in my hand to persist these days, and now that I am here, he gave me the jade, that is, he really cut off his hope of continuing to live.
And so it is again!
Why is this the case again.
Jiang Xiaoshi, Hongyao, Master, why is everyone who is really good to me like this in the end.
I gritted my teeth, and at this moment, the piece of jade I held in my hand began to exude a warmth, washing away the sorrow in my heart.
When Zhang Longtu and I went upstairs together, Zhang Longling stopped in front of me, "Don't you still think that Master is enough?" You let me go, I don't want to see you again! โ
"Dragon Spirit!" Master's voice came from inside the room.
Zhang Longling was stunned, his whole body trembled rapidly, and his voice choked.
"Obedient." Master's voice still carried that kindness, "I've lived long enough, and if I continue like this, I'm just going to survive, it's better to use the rest of my withered life to live a good child through the sea of suffering." โ
"That's enough."
Zhang Longling got out of the way, and Zhang Longtu and I entered the room together, at this time the master was already old and skinny, and he looked like a dried corpse.
"Dragon Figure." There was a hint of tiredness in Master's voice.
"Yes, Master." Senior Brother Zhang Longtu quickly stepped forward and clasped his fists with both hands.
"Remember, Long Xin is your junior brother, you must treat him as your younger brother, Long Ling is not sensible, and Long Xin can only be protected by you in the Zhang family." Master said in a cold voice.
"Yes, Master." Senior Brother Zhang Longtu's voice began to choke violently.
"Take an oath." Master continued.
Senior Brother Zhang Longtu bit his finger and pressed it on his own head, then slammed his head on the ground, convulsing constantly.
At the same time, Master finally closed his eyes.
"It's none of his business, don't hate him!"
I was stunned, tears rained down, and the jade in my hand kept pouring warmth into my heart, and it was because of this that I would not collapse.
"Master!" Zhang Longling roared loudly.
At the same time, the little Buddha suddenly appeared beside me, his eyes were bloodshot, "Old guy, you actually want to suppress me, if you want me to be bad, I won't let you have a good time!" โ
As soon as the words fell, he rushed directly and quickly towards the master's body.
"Evil Barrier!" A voice snorted coldly, and then I only felt a huge force slapping me and the little Buddha away, and my throat was sweet, and I completely lost consciousness.
