Chapter II. Yaoshan Dao Law

Hu Zongren went on to say that it was only later that he realized that what Xing Yazi said was not to drive him away, but on the contrary, it was implying that he wanted to accept him as an apprentice. Hu Zongren said that in the end, when he was 20 years old, he officially entered the school and studied with Xing Yazi.

Hu Zongren said that the Yaoshan sect was originally a small sect among the people, and it is said that it originated in the Song Dynasty. The Yaoshan faction studied the five techniques of Taoism, which are relatively in-depth, especially the eye disease treatment and harmony techniques in the medical arts, which are considered to be very profound in the industry, Hu Zongren and Master Xing Yazi are more out of line, and spells and ghosts are strong, but most of the Yaoshan Taoist priests in the folk are mainly focused on cultivating the mind, but when formally considering which technique to teach Hu Zongren, Xing Yazi was stumped.

When Hu Zongren said this, I actually wanted to laugh. Because I can probably think of what Xing Yazi is making trouble. Sure enough, Hu Zongren said that the five techniques of Taoism are mountain, medicine, life, physiognomy, and divination. Taoist doctors need to endure failure and study repeatedly, and it is obvious that Hu Zongren is definitely not this material. The art of life is based on the five elements of yin and yang, and he learns Ziwei Doushu, Xingping Huihai, Ziping Tui, etc., in order to ask for good luck, but Hu Zongren is by no means the kind of person who can sit still and study hard.

Hu Zongren said that when Xing Yazi chose what to teach him, he gave examples one by one, and then shook his head sadly for each example, which made him very unhappy. Xing Yazi also said that physiognomy is relatively easy to get started, but it is very difficult to master it, mainly to see the whole phase and criticize feng shui, but Hu Zongren is impetuous, and if he makes a living from it in the future, there is a hidden danger of beating customers at every turn

I couldn't hold back, I laughed out loud, the so-called master who knows the disciple best is always the master, and it is indeed difficult for me to imagine that Hu Zongren crossed his legs, shaking his head and giving people a look. So I said to Hu Zongren, your master is really right, fortunately he didn't teach you this, otherwise he would be helping people, it would be harming people.

Hu Zongren glanced at me, and then said, and later when it came to divination, there are even more things to learn, the Book of Changes, Qimen Dunjia, Daliuren Daquan, Taiyi Shenshu, which is more difficult to learn than the art of life, so Xing Yazi looked at Hu Zongren halfway through speaking, and then shook his head painfully.

Hu Zongren couldn't help it at this time, a person like him who didn't know the height of the sky, asked Xing Yazi unabashedly, Master, you don't let me learn this, and you also say that I can't learn, so why do you accept me as an apprentice? Is it possible that I want to meditate on my knees and become an immortal like I did on TV all day long? Xing Yazi interrupted him and said, If you want to do alchemy, I don't think you can do it

Xing Yazi said that this alchemy comes from the "mountain" of the five Taoist techniques, which is the most important skill to meditate, and you can't calm down by nature, so don't try it, save yourself from driving yourself crazy. And the Xuandian under the "mountain" is to familiarize you with Confucian and Mo thoughts, which is obviously far from you, boxing our Yaoshan school has long been lost, there are only some morning classes and morning exercises left, which cannot be used for self-defense, Hu Zongren seems to have been a guy who likes to fight since he was a child, so he can't use this boxing technique

I laughed wildly, and said to Hu Zongren, I can't see that Master Xing Yazi is still so humorous, several sets of methods of the Shan family have been eliminated, and now there are only spells left, right? Hu Zongren patted his thigh and said, isn't it, my master knows a lot of things, and after reaching the end, I found that I can teach me, and I can also learn well, only exorcism charms, you said that I was a good young man at the beginning, why did I only learn such a small thing.

I said, in fact, Master Xing Yazi has a vision, because it is true that only this set of skills is the most suitable for you. Although you are a Taoist priest, compared to many Taoist priests we know, you are too reckless and not calm enough, and you yourself know the Tao. Hu Zongren didn't answer my question, but went on to say that later, I followed the master every day and studied for six years, and when I left the school, the master personally made a sack for me to catch ghosts, and the Three Treasures Law Seal were given to me, which made me travel out of the city, saying that I would have to travel for at least two years before I could return to my hometown, and as for what to do later, it was all up to my volition, as long as I didn't become a traitor and did something that damaged the image of the teacher.

Hu Zongren went on to say that he had just graduated from the school, and he was very excited. At that time, Hu's mother gradually understood Hu Zongren's situation as a Taoist priest and discouraged a lot, and persuaded Hu Zongren many times, saying that the child who was beaten by him in the early years did not say that he would continue to pursue it, and she would go home when she was tired of playing outside, and she would retire in a few years. Hu Zongren said that he ran away because of trouble, and if he didn't come out of a famous place, how could he be embarrassed to go home, and how could he be worthy of the time consumed over the years.

So he has been in Sichuan, Guizhou, Hubei, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places, although he is a novice just out of the school, but with his excellent and solid Yaoshan skills, he has repeatedly succeeded, and he is also a famous one among many new generation of Taoist protégés. Hu Zongren, if you talk about seniority, he is the same generation as me, and in terms of age, Hu Zongren is a few years older than me, so I should call him a senior brother. However, what we have learned is different, he is a pure Taoist priest, but I am learning Zhu Yu, although I also know some Taoism, but after all, it is only scratching the surface. The two of us worship different ancestors, and it can even be said that although they are both disciples of Fuxi, our two ancestors are enemies. He worships the Yellow Emperor, I worship Chiyou, according to history, my ancestor is a loser, but Zhu Youshu has always been curious, fast, effective, not many tricks, a practical picture, general small problems can often be solved, Hu Zongren's craftsmanship is ruthless, fierce, vigorous, at every turn to attract thunder and lightning, the technique is relatively strong. The vein of Yaoshan Hu Zongren is even more so. It is precisely because this routine is too direct and vigorous that it is particularly suitable for Hu Zongren's personality, and he is more handy.

Hu Zongren said that it was also during those two years that a lot of practical experience made him more and more proficient. But his fiery temper and jealousy did not improve with age, and he was still arrogant and reckless. It wasn't until 2007 that he ended his travels, first stayed in Huiyilong's hometown for a period of time, and found that the place was small, the business was small, and he was a very idle person, so he left a sum of money for Hu's mother, and he went to Chengdu again.

Because after Master Xing Yazi brought Hu Zongren, as he got older, he struggled to swim, so he began to live in seclusion in Chengdu, drinking tea and playing chess with some friends in the industry every day, and chatting with birds, which can be regarded as spending his old age in peace. Hu Zongren himself took some small orders in Chengdu to do, but during this period, he was bored and began to learn to play cards and gamble with others.

Hu Zongren sighed when he said this, he said with a wry smile, it was precisely because he started gambling that he met a guy, and because of that guy, he was entangled by the brakes. But he also said, but if it weren't for this, we wouldn't know each other.

I remember that when Mr. Xia recommended Hu Zongren to me, he said a very important reason, that is, we had a common enemy at that time. Hu Zongren said that at that time, he gambled, and as a result, the police investigated and dealt with it, fined him, and was detained. He said that it was the most humiliating time in his life, but he couldn't do it with the police, plus he was at a loss, and the master was still in Chengdu, so he couldn't embarrass his old man, so he tacitly acquiesced to the punishment.

Hu Zongren said that when he was detained that night, a person came in from the back and shared a number with him. Hu Zongren was familiar with each other, and soon chatted with the man, who was arrested because of drug use, and later inquired, and found that both of them were actually doing this. The identity of the other party is that mysterious organization, and there is no way. That person saw that Hu Zongren was also a cheerful person, so he invited him to work together to do something big after he went out, and when Hu Zongren asked him what he was doing, he said, let's go to the hospital morgue to collect some souls and sell them, we can make money.

Hu Zongren said, nonsense, of course I know that this can make money, but it is too unconscionable to do so. So for the rest of the detention time, he endured it without having a seizure, but pretended to be very interested and left the contact information of the other party. After both of them were released, Hu Zongren asked this guy out for tea when he was not in a good mood for a day, but he took the opportunity to find fault, and then created some contradictions, and then beat them up. Before the police arrived after the shopkeeper called the police, he slipped away.

But Hu Zongren said that in that fight, he also hung up his colors, shed blood, and then was taken away by the other party, thus restraining his eight characters. Hu Zongren pointed at me and said, this is the same as you were at the beginning. I nodded, and said that if we could become friends for something, the experience must be similar, but I'm not as stupid as you.

And after that, a lot of things are known to everyone. Since 2010, although my grudge with Hu Zongren and Sha Wudao has been written off under the leadership of Fu Qiang, it is just a piece of my life with him. From the end of February 2010 to November 2011, I gradually became tired of making a living in this industry, probably because the previous big movement almost cost me my life, and I became afraid.

So during that period, Hu Zongren and I also received a lot of our respective business, sometimes he would call me along, sometimes he wouldn't. And I will leave most of it to him to do it with me, maybe it's a matter of trust between friends, after all, not everyone can meet a brother who lives and dies together because of a disaster.

So he said, during that period, I was mixed with Hu Zongren for a long time. It lasted up to a year and a half.
