"Master, what are you doing?" Mu Yueting came over at some point, she looked at the master and me who were sitting on the steps in a daze, and asked with some confusion.

The master woke up from his contemplation all of a sudden, he glanced at Mu Yueting, and said, "Yueting, you should also rest early, and tomorrow we will hold an entrance ceremony for your junior brother." ”

Mu Yueting nodded, glanced at Master and me, and turned back to the room.

Master was afraid that something would happen again, so he asked me to sleep with him tonight. Because it was late at night, and after some tossing and turning, I also felt tired all over, and soon fell into a state of deep sleep.

Time passed quickly, and when the next morning the Master woke me up from my bed, he said that there would be an initiation ceremony for me today, and after the ceremony, I would be his official disciple.

The thought of being able to learn advanced spells from Master in the future made me feel excited, and my hands and feet were much sharper than usual. After I washed up and changed into clean clothes, I followed Master into the main hall of the Taoist temple.

As soon as I entered the main hall, the first thing that caught my eye was a statue of a god enshrined on the throne in the middle of the main hall, and when I saw this statue, I couldn't help but be stunned.

Because this hall is enshrined in other Taoist temples are different, neither the majestic Sanqing patriarch, nor the chic and elegant Taoist real person, but a man wearing a crown and wearing a gorgeous costume, he sits on the throne of the god with a high and high-end robe and big sleeves, his face is not angry and self-imposing, he holds a long sword in his right hand, the sword is not out of the sheath, it looks simple and atmospheric, quite powerful.

I looked at the man sitting on the throne of the god in a daze, and a sense of awe involuntarily rose in my heart, this statue is not so much a real person of Taoism, but more like an emperor overlooking the mountains and rivers and ruling Kyushu.

I swallowed my saliva and asked Master, "Master, what is enshrined on this throne?" It looks scary. ”

Master touched my head and said with a smile, "Xuan Wazi, do you remember what I told you when I was in Chengdu? Our lineage is somewhat related to Taoism, but we are not orthodox Taoist cultivators. ”

"The founding of Taoism probably started from the Eastern Han Dynasty when the ancestor of the Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling, he was alchemy in Longhu Mountain, and later he heard that the people of Bashu were more pure and easy to teach, so he took his disciples west into Shuchuan, in Yangping Mountain. Heming Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain place to accept disciples to teach, according to legend he had to be Taishang personally surrendered, awarded the "Taixuan Sutra" 270 volumes, and then the ancestor of the heavenly master in the Heming Mountain feathered ascending immortals, and the sect he left behind is the prototype of Taoism, is a league of might, and is called the way of the heavenly master by the world. ”

"And in our lineage, the first generation of patriarchs was Taishan Taoist in the Northern Song Dynasty, but if we talk about the origin and ancestor of the beginning, it is much earlier than that Taoism." When Master said this, he looked at me with blazing eyes and asked, "Have you heard the story of the Yellow Emperor vs. Chiyou?" ”

I looked at the master blankly, shook my head, I felt that the name of the Yellow Emperor was a little familiar, but I didn't know what stories he had, after all, I was a child in the mountains and villages, where did people come from to tell me these stories.

The master looked proud at this time, and he raised his voice and said: "According to records, at the origin of China more than 4,000 years ago, there were constant disputes in the world, and the Yellow Emperor tribe and the Yandi tribe fought in Hanquan, and the Yellow Emperor tribe won a great victory, annexed it, and merged into the Yanhuang tribe. At this time, the Chi You of the Jiuli tribe wanted to restart the war, and he summoned the Miao people in the south and the ghosts and ghosts in the mountains, forests, and rivers to lead a large army to wage war against the Yanhuang tribe. ”

The Yellow Emperor tribe is good at domesticating wild beasts, not only recruiting all tribes, but also driving a large number of lions, tigers, leopards, bears, and other fierce beasts to fight with Chiyou, and the battle was fought until the sky was dark, and the sun and the moon were lost. Chi You even invited the legendary Feng Boyu Master to help, and the Yanhuang tribe was not to be outdone, not only did the Heavenly Maiden help out, but even in the end, the Yellow Emperor invited a Ying Dragon, that is a Ying Dragon, the legend says that the dragon is a horned dragon for 500 years, and a thousand years for Ying Long, and its strength is extremely strong. ”

"In the end, the Yanhuang tribe defeated Jiuli, and the Yellow Emperor unified China and became our ancestor. However, the Yellow Emperor's methods of driving strange beasts and summoning ghosts and gods in the battle of the deer were passed on to one of his sons, which is the initial prototype of our lineage. ”

When the master said this, his expression changed from the excitement just now, and he became a little lonely, he said: "It's a pity that in the last days of the Warring States Period, Emperor Qin swept away the Six Kingdoms and ruled the world, but he burned books and forbade the Dao, and our vein was cut off because of this. ”

"Until the Northern Song Dynasty Taizu Kaibao period, a scholar encountered an ancient cave in a cliff in Mount Tai, and he found a bunch of old bamboo slips in it. After the scholar studied it, he found that it recorded the secret technique of the Yellow Emperor to drive strange beasts and recruit ghosts and gods, and some records about this vein, but unfortunately because the time is too long, the bamboo slips are damaged a lot, and the things recorded on it are incomplete. ”

"The scholar is extremely obsessed with the various anecdotes and secret techniques recorded on the bamboo slips, and at the same time he resolutely abandoned Confucianism and entered the Taoism, and worshiped the Taoist sect in the world to learn various Taoist spells and means, in order to complete the secret techniques left by the Yellow Emperor, this scholar called himself 'Taishan Taoist', that is, the founding patriarch of our lineage, because he had entered the Tao of the Heavenly Master, and traveled all over China to learn various techniques, so we have some origins in this vein and Taoism, but it does not belong to the orthodox Taoism."

I listened with a look of obsession, I didn't expect this sect to have such a big origin, although I still can't fully understand it, but I still feel very powerful.

Master glanced at me and said with a smile: "Because Patriarch Taishan traveled all over the Chinese Taoist world, our line has some research on Taoist talisman painting, mantras, wind and water measurement, and face divination, but the most proficient is to use charms, herbs and other things to subdue foreign beasts and exorcise demons and ghosts. I don't know if you know the Japanese onmyoji, they look at the stars, face people, measure the direction, know the disaster, draw talismans and chant spells, and drive the gods, which are probably passed down from our China, among which the gods they say are the elves and ghosts driven by our veins. ”

I looked at Master in amazement and said, "No wonder Master, you recruited the five powerful ghosts last night, it turns out that those orthodox Taoist priests are catching ghosts and subduing demons, and we are exorcist ghosts!" ”

The master looked at the statue of the Yellow Emperor sitting on the throne of the god and said: "Although our lineage is counted from the beginning of Taishan Dao people, and we regard it as a generation of ancestors, our ancestor origin is the legendary Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, so we don't worship Sanqing, only respect the Yellow Emperor." ”

I looked up at the Yellow Emperor wearing a crown in the middle of the main hall, with a majestic face, I felt very awe and pride in my heart, and I couldn't help but think of the shocking scene of the Yellow Emperor's envoy Ying Long, although I knew that it was just a legend, but I was very excited when I thought of it.

Master made me bow three times and bow nine times to the statue of the Yellow Emperor, and at the same time let me recite a long and esoteric scripture, and finally after doing a very complicated ceremony, he finally said to me: "From now on, you Chen Zixuan will be the thirty-fourth generation disciple of our Xuanyuan Palace, inheriting the mantle of the patriarch. ”

Xuanyuan Palace?!

Is my sect called Xuanyuan Palace? I stared blankly at the statue of the emperor sitting in the center, and an indescribable sense of pride welled up in my heart.

Just after I had finished the apprenticeship and the entrance ceremony, a Taoist priest suddenly rushed in from outside the Taoist temple, he was about forty years old, his expression was frightened, and sweat was still breaking out on his forehead.

He rushed in at once and shouted at Master, "Jiang Daoyou! Oh no, there's an accident in Chengdu! Something is wrong! ”

I saw that Master was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?" Didn't the government deal with it, and there were a lot of people in your view, just a few zombies, what could happen? ”

The Taoist priest stood next to him and took a few breaths before he said to the master: "Originally, I just dug up a few zombies by the Funan River, and the government didn't pay attention to it at first, but just invited a few of my senior brothers to surrender." But I didn't expect that it was just an introduction, my senior brother found that the land didn't know who had laid down the overall feng shui situation, and nourished a little with the yin qi of the whole Chengdu. ”

"And at that point, a coffin was buried, a big red coffin!"
