Chapter 183: Gorgeous Apprenticeship
What's going on, it turns out that Uncle Li, who has always been sloppy, is wearing a golden lotus crown on his head and a red robe of the brocade temple today, which looks very gorgeous and grand, but when mixed with his eternal obscene expression, it is very joyful, no wonder Yang Yi will spray rice.
"Sleep at the top door, you two are really the same mother, hum" Uncle Li looked at Yang Yi, who was overwhelmed, and snorted coldly.
At this time, Wei Ergou finally opened the door with an unhappy face, looked at Uncle Li and muttered, "What's the matter, uncle, don't you know that it is very rude to disturb other people's rest...... No, what kind of trouble are you going to make, sing two people or twist the big Yangge, your appearance is too prodigal, it will definitely attract a lot of old ladies to the autumn waves, haha"
"Smack", Wei Ergou was heartlessly happy, and Uncle Li cut his face with a big mouth, just like that, he didn't stop Wei Ergou's smirk, and he was so angry that Uncle Li's old face twitched like an insoles, which hurt his self-esteem too much.
Not to mention the laughter of Li Shu'er and Wei Ergou, a pair of living treasure masters and apprentices, Yang Yi's eyes swept and saw that Yan Sanzheng was standing in a dark corner not far from Li Shu'er without saying a word, and his right hand was really as Wei Ergou said, hidden in the wide and drooping sleeves, with straight sleeves, not like a disabled person without a right arm.
At this time, Liu Ruoxue had already finished grooming, and walked out weakly like a spring breeze, in front of Liu Ruoxue, Li Shu'er and Wei Ergou were embarrassed to be crazy anymore, so they followed them to breakfast.
After eating breakfast, Yang Yi asked the third to what time it was, and the third replied in a low voice: "It's almost time, brother." ”
"Ahh Yang Yi only knew what time it was, how could he know what time it was, so he turned his head to look at Wei Ergou, who was munching on a sweet potato from the dining table, and asked quietly: "I'm afraid of showing timidity, so I don't have the intention to ask, what time is it?" ”
"From five o'clock to seven o'clock, you really have no connotation, why don't you like to study so much, hehe" Wei Ergou looked at Yang Yi and teased.
"Uncle, what do you want to do when you get up so early?" When he heard that it was not yet five o'clock, Yang Yi couldn't help but look at Uncle Li and complained.
"Shut up, what day is today, it is the day of your formal apprenticeship, how sacred, of course, you have to choose an auspicious time, don't be a monk, you and arrange the dojo with your servants, and when it is time, you will get up on the altar to worship the master, go!" It is estimated that considering that today is a big day for Yang Yi and Wei Ergou to apprentice, Uncle Li was about to reach out to slap Yang Yi's big neck, but he still held back and scolded stupidly.
At the moment, Liu Ruoxue accompanied Li Shu'er to gossip, and Yang Yi and Wei Ergou followed them to the main hall to set up the dojo. That Liu Ruoxue was also the first time to see the ceremony of Taoist priests, and she was very curious, and she came over to see the excitement after a while.
It seemed that the three of them were familiar with all this, but seeing that he didn't know where to find three tree poles of five lengths and thicknesses, he commanded Yang Yi and Wei Ergou to tie those trunks together in order from thick to thin and from bottom to top. Then, he led Wei Ergou to the dim but spacious back kitchen, and brought a large pot of medicinal soup made of herbs, vinegar, etc., and smoked it from his feet to the trunk of the tree in the head.
After doing all this, the three of them solemnly took out a rectangular yellow cloth banner with five narrow strips of cloth underneath, and hung the cloth banner behind the tree, and together with Yang Yi and Wei Ergou, slowly erected the entire tree straight in the center of the main hall.
After doing all this, he reported the progress to Uncle Li, and took this opportunity to get close to Liu Ruoxue and ask her what she was going to do.
Liu Ruoxue took a look at the yellow flags and told Wei Ergou and then Yang Yidao that these three tree poles tied together with five knots are called banner poles, which are three feet high and six feet high, symbolizing the thirty-six days of Taoism. The use of herbs, vinegar and medicinal soup to smoke the tree pole is called the smoking pole; Whoever does the Dharma must first erect a banner. This act of raising the "flag" high is called "raising the flag" or "raising the flag", and it is to prepare for the initiation ceremony that will begin later.
As Liu Ruoxue said, soon, Li Shu'er, who was wearing a golden lotus crown on his head and a red robe of the brocade temple, walked out with a stagger, followed by Yu San, who was wearing a black Taoist hat and a yellow Taoist robe, his right hand was still shrouded in his sleeves, interlocking with his left hand, holding a bunch of percussion weapons such as chimes, drums, gongs, and wooden fish.
Seeing Yang Yi and Wei Ergou standing there stupidly watching the excitement, Uncle Li'er's old face sank, and the three of them were afraid that Yang Yi and Wei Ergou would be scolded, so they hurriedly put down the magic weapon and handed them two sets of robes that were exactly the same as those they were wearing, and let them wear them.
Seeing that Uncle Li's old face was very long, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou didn't dare to play anymore, so they hurriedly put on their uniforms.
Uncle Li glanced at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou, who were heroic after putting on the Taoist robes, and secretly sighed in his heart that these two young people were indeed immortal cultivators, no wonder those people would do everything possible to send these two people here to carry out their conspiracy.
Thinking of this, Uncle Li became more and more eager to teach his skills to these two apprentices, not only so that they could protect themselves and the peach girl, but more importantly, once those people found out that their plot was destroyed by themselves and sent people here to carry out more vicious tricks, these two young people could take over the burden on their shoulders, for the sake of the innocent people, but also for the balance of the Three Realms, continue to fight against those people, and wait for the opportunity to expose this organization and these people's criminal deeds to the national security department, Return to the Three Realms of eternal tranquility and peace.
Thinking of this, Uncle Li sighed softly and asked the third to hand Liu Ruoxue a set of robes.
The three of them were stunned, looked at Uncle Li and muttered, "Master, according to the door rules, this sister can't apprentice......"
Uncle Li smiled, looked at the three and said: "San'er, how can there be an immutable rule in this world, we are the old lady these years, and the year is not as good as the year, do you know what the reason is, it is because those masters only know how to abide by the rules of the door, but they do not understand the time shift of the world, which has led to the decline of the Zhengyi faction. ”
The three of them were very in awe of Uncle Li, and when they saw Uncle Li's face sank, they couldn't help but retreat, and they didn't dare to persuade him anymore.
The third took a white robe, and handed it to Liu Ruoxue wordlessly, Liu Ruoxue took the robe, and looked at Wei Ergou with joy, Wei Ergou couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly went over to help Liu Ruoxue put on the robe, and then, the two of them held hands and stood with Yang Yi.
In the meantime, the three of them had already piled up a lot of branches under the yellow banner and lit them, and with the rising white smoke, the entire main hall was instantly enveloped in white and gray smoke clouds.
Seeing Uncle Li standing in the smoke and praying silently, the always taciturn Yan San quietly told Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Yang Yi that the purpose of burning the branches of the tree was to tell the heavenly immortals that today's mortals on the earth will have important things to ask for and ask for, and burning the branches of the tree can make the heavenly immortals hide in the smoke, and then help the mortals on the earth to tie the knot and pray for peace.
By the time the branches of the tree trees burned into a pile of white ashes and the smoke and dust in the main hall gradually thinned, the three of them had already sat on the side of the main hall and struck the chime, drum, gong, wooden fish and other ritual instruments in turn.
Accompanied by the sound of drums, Uncle Li held the "Chao Jian" in his hand, looked solemn and calmly walked to the statue of the patriarch and knelt and kowtowed, and then held the "Chao Jian" in front of the altar in the center of the hall to take a snake ghost step, and sprinkled a circle of Ganlin holy water along the dojo. After doing all this, Li Shu'er held a bowl of water in his left hand and a jujube red wooden "wat" in his right hand, sprinkled the water in the bowl with Jiao and sprinkled it around.
At this moment, Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue felt that the yellow banner hanging over their heads was windless and automatic, and when they looked up, the yellow banner dragged the narrow strip of cloth below and swayed gently with the wind.
At this moment, Li Shu'er walked over, took Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue, and knelt under the yellow banner together, it is strange to say, after Li Shu'er and the others knelt down, the five narrow strips of cloth under the yellow flag in mid-air were slowly connected and knotted together, forming an inverted triangle shape, the breeze swept by, and the hall was filled with a long-lasting fragrance.
Seeing the yellow banner knotted, Uncle Li'er looked happy, turned around, took Yang Yi and knelt down towards the statue of Cheng Ji Ancestor, and after three bows and nine bows, he asked Yang Yi and Wei Ergou to give Cheng Ji Ancestor incense in turn, then he looked at Liu Ruoxue and said softly: "Girl, if it is not the master's partiality, if you put on this incense, it may be a little strange, don't care about it." ”
After speaking, Uncle Li waved his hand, Liu Ruoxue anxiously lit the three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner, only to see that the incense head of the three incense sticks suddenly lit up, and the three sticks of incense burned violently at different speeds, and Li Shu'er also stared at the three sticks of incense nervously, until the three sticks of incense burned into two short and one long mountain shapes, Li Shu'er wiped his forehead, and then looked at the slow-burning incense on Yang Yi and Wei Ergou, and suddenly smiled happily: "Damn, the ancestor actually likes this girl far better than the two of you, haha"
Hearing Uncle Li say this, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou both showed heartfelt smiles, and even the three who had always been moody and moody also showed a warm smile.
After doing this, Li Shu'er sat on the futon under the altar, and the three ended the tea set, Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue knelt down in front of Li Shu'er to serve tea, and after Li Shu'er took it, he took a symbolic sip and handed it to the third person, and the entire apprenticeship ceremony was completed.
After drinking the apprentice tea, Uncle Li looked at Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue, who were still kneeling below, with an excited face, a happy smile bloomed on his face, and slowly opened his mouth, just when the three kneeling at the bottom thought that Uncle Li would say something inspirational that would make them unforgettable, but they heard the old liar say excitedly: "But the damn has finished these false tricks, I'm tired to death, San'er, go to the whole table of delicious food, let's have fun and ......."
