Chapter 010: Apprenticeship (3)
I bowed my head and was speechless for a long time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoActually, I already knew the intention of the Taoist chief, and he was bent on taking me as a disciple and becoming the successor of his Maoshan faction.
As for myself, to be honest, since I was 6 years old and saw the head of Cangwu Dao, and from time to time I saw ghosts through the half-yin and yang eyes, I could not suppress a yearning for the mysterious Maoshan technique, which was very strong, and even after I came out to work, I also found some information about Maoshan from time to time, and used my spare time to study it myself. Sometimes, I fantasize that I have also cultivated a good skill of the Taoist, and I can transcend the sainthood and save the world. In that way, Yuanyuan Zhu Jianxin and them will be fine.
Deep down, the mysterious Maoshan technique is the territory I want to reach. But how do you tell my mom about that? She would never agree, and I didn't want her to worry after my brother's accident.
Daoist Cangwu guessed my thoughts, and said, "Are you afraid that your family will oppose it?" In fact, you have grown so big, you should make your own decisions about important things, because only you know what you want, what you pursue, and what you can do. Don't let other people sway you and suppress yourself all the time! ”
"Your eight characters are very hard, your physique and talent are not able to pick out one among millions of people, plus the encounter of being struck by lightning and having semi-yin and yang eyes, it is an opportunity that is difficult to find for thousands of years! It's providence! ”
"I have been searching for decades, but I have not found a suitable successor, and I am unwilling to think that the mastery of Maoshan Ancestor has been lost in my hands. And you, bury your talent and spend your life in mediocrity, are you willing? ”
Of course I wasn't reconciled.
So I said, "Chief, let me think about it." ”
Cangwu Dao Chang: "This is natural, if you really don't want to, I will never force the old way." Moreover, you have to know that the cultivation process of the Maoshan Technique is extremely arduous, which is beyond your imagination, and you have to consider whether you can withstand all kinds of tests at the same time. ”
"I'll definitely think about it. Then, can you first ask the Taoist Master to perform Dafa and save a few of my friends? I'm afraid they'll be dangerous if they drag it out. ”
"Hehe, rest assured! You have to pay attention to the time - you give me their birth dates first, and tonight is the best time, wait for me to open the altar. ”
I slammed myself on the head. Why am I so careless? Maoshan has always been inseparable from the eight characters of birth, why did I forget to ask Yuanyuan them?
I hurriedly walked outside, took out my phone, and wanted to call them to ask. There is no signal on the phone! In other words, if you want to use your mobile phone, you have to run down the mountain.
I couldn't delay any longer, and I said to the Taoist chief that I had to go down the mountain at once and come back before the ugly time tonight.
When the Taoist chief heard this, he turned his head and walked into one of the earthen houses, and took out a very strange thing and handed it to me. It was a square tray with a black stone on top of it, round at one end and sharpened on the other. The most amazing thing is that no matter how the stone rolls in the tray, the sharp end always points in a fixed direction, much like a compass.
The Taoist chief said: "This is called the Big Dipper, which has spirituality in it and is used to guide the way. As long as you follow its instructions, you won't get lost when you go up the mountain at night, and it will always guide you back here. Try to come back before the ugly time, and along the way, think about what I just said to you. ”
I gratefully took the Big Dipper, bid farewell to the chief, and immediately set off to descend the mountain.
It was much easier to descend than up, and as I walked fast in the jungle and my mind began to get active, I carefully combed through the words of the Taoist.
Deep down, I couldn't agree with what he said. In fact, from the time I went to college to the time I came out to work, I always felt unsatisfactory - I majored in architecture in college, and my job was to work as a real estate agent, and neither of these things were what I wanted to do in my heart; I've always felt that my life shouldn't be "just that", but that I should work hard in the field that I am good at and interested in to reach the top.
Seventy years of life are rare, and after twenty years of the beginning and tail, how much is left after eating, sleeping, going to the toilet, and traffic jams? So, the rest of the precious time, should you do something that best reflects your self-worth? Have no regrets?
Life didn't give me much opportunity to take the leap. Thinking of this, I made up my mind. I want to be an excellent Maoshan descendant.
I made up my mind, and I felt relaxed and made great strides.
At the bottom of the mountain, it was already dark. I took out my mobile phone and asked about Fa Ge and Yuanyuan's birthdays, and then called Zhu Jianxin. Originally, I didn't think there was much hope of getting through, because he was lying on the ICU bed, tied up with flowers. However, I was lucky that his phone was in the bedside table, and the uncle next to the bed took it out for him.
I said, "Boy, you don't die so easily, I've found a way to cure you, tell me your birthday." ”
On the other end of the phone, Zhu Jianxin's voice sounded very weak, and he looked a little incredulous: "Dude, you're not coaxing me again, are you?" Alas, this intensive care unit is not a place for people. "He still told me about his birthday.
It's finally done. There was also a snack bar in the village that was not closed, so I hurriedly swallowed a few buns and turned to head up the hill. Today I went up the mountain twice and went down the mountain once, which made me so tired that I didn't even have the strength to speak, and I was sticky and sweaty.
However, I am very satisfied mentally, because my vast sea of life has already had the right direction - the descendants of the Maoshan faction, and as long as I paddle hard towards the goal, I can sail to the other side of victory.
With the guidance of the Big Dipper, I finally rushed back to Yunheguan when the ugly time was almost up. Daoist Cangwu had already set up an altar outside the temple, which was full of incense candles and magic spells, and he also changed into a bright yellow robe. He nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yes, you are very punctual." So let's get started. ”
In the night sky, the stars twinkle and the mountain wind whistles. Daoist Cangwu began to work for a while, doing hand and footwork, wielding a peachwood sword, chanting spells, and fiddling with the scarecrow......
Half an hour later, the Taoist chief put away the peachwood sword and said, "Okay, your friends are all right." ”
I was very excited and quickly thanked the aisler.
"It's just that," the Taoist chief continued, "the resentment of these supernatural events has not been eliminated, and it is best for you to resolve this in the future, otherwise, they are likely to cause trouble." To resolve their resentment, you need to know the basic Maoshan technique - what I discussed with you in the afternoon, have you thought about it? ”
I replied solemnly, "It's all thought about." Please take me as a disciple, and I will definitely work hard! As I spoke, I bowed down to the Taoist.
The Taoist chief showed joy on his face: "Okay! Good! But with the long and arduous academic path and the dangers and fears you have to face, can you afford it? ”
I said, "In order to succeed in my studies as soon as possible, I am not afraid of hardship and tiredness." Please ask the master for advice! ”
The Taoist chief nodded: "It's getting late now. You go to sleep first, get up tomorrow to bathe and change your clothes, and I will take you to visit the master and hold the entrance ceremony. Well, I finally have a successor in Maoshan Gate! Under the vast moonlight, I saw that he looked solemn and a little excited.
