Ge Xuan admired Shi Xin and Chen Bing's special talents, but he didn't want to take them for himself, and the first thing he thought about was the future of the two children.

Shi Xin and Chen Bing were moved in their hearts, and the two looked at each other and smiled, as if they understood the determination in each other's eyes, and said in unison: "Please take me as an apprentice and teach me well!"

Ge Xuan was overjoyed, but this was not a place to apprentice, and Shi Xin was not convenient. He comforted the two, told Shi Xin to take a bath, and called Chen Bing out of the pharmacy.

This is probably the place where Ge Xuan dispenses medicine, Shi Xin found another bucket of water next to him, rinsed his body, put on the new clothes he had already prepared, and felt refreshed.

Shi Xin was shocked to realize that he was drawn by internal injuries just now and vomited blood, and after soaking Ge Xuan's potion, he was in no pain, as if he had suddenly changed back to a normal person. He smiled bitterly and thought that he was thinking too much, even if Ge Xuan's medical skills were superb, it was impossible to cure his injuries with a single medicine, just suppressing it temporarily.

Shi Xin pushed the door out and found that there was a four or five-year-old boy next to Ge Xuan and Chen Bing, looking at Chen Bing innocently, and seemed to think it was very interesting.

Ge Xuan instructed the child: "Hong'er, call Uncle Shi!"

The child's eyes widened and he protested: "He is only a few years older than me, and he can't be called uncle, at most brother." ”

Ge Xuan pulled his face and scolded: "Presumptuous! Seniority is seniority, which is judged by age." He is about to be my apprentice, and you are my grandson, of course you have to call your uncle and brother?"

It turned out that the eccentric boy in front of him was Ge Hong, Ge Xiaoxian, who played a pivotal role in the history of Taoism in his previous life and could be called a "grandmaster"-level figure. He is the grandson of Ge Xuan's brothers, his parents died when he was a child, Ge Xuan took pity on him, so he took him with him since he was a child and treated him as his own grandson.

Shi Xin grinned and touched Ge Hong's little head, "Good, uncle hurts!"

Ge Hong gave him a blank look and shouted, "I haven't called you uncle yet, what's the matter?" At a glance, he saw that Ge Xuan's face was as heavy as frost, and he secretly stuck out his tongue, and shouted reluctantly, "Uncle!"

Ge Xuan led the way, "You guys came in a hurry, I'll reintroduce you to the Lingbao Sect." ”

The Lingbao Sect is located in the north of the Heavenly Master's Mansion and occupies an extremely large area. Looking up from the outside, there is a spotless plaque hanging under the eaves, with the words "Lingbao School" written on it, although it is not as luxurious and atmospheric as the Heavenly Master's Mansion, it is clean and tidy, similar to Ge Xuan himself.

When you open the door, the first thing that catches your eye is a tall cherry blossom tree with layers of pink cherry blossoms. The breeze blew, and the petals fell with the wind and sprinkled all over the ground. Bursts of fragrance come to the nose and refresh people's hearts. On the left side of the cherry blossom tree is a well, which is used for washing and cooking, and on the right is a round tea table made of stone, and two stone benches stand on the left and right, which are used for resting and drinking tea.

Ge Xuan introduced as he walked: "This is the vestibule." That's the kitchen, that's the utility room......"

After the vestibule, it was the medicine garden where Ge Xuan had condensed a huge amount of effort. According to him, the medicine garden is divided into four parts according to the characteristics of herbs: the east side is sunny and the positive herbs are planted, the west is the yang and the negative herbs are planted, the north is water and aquatic herbs are planted, and the south is fire and xerophytes are planted. In the middle of the medicine garden, another well is surrounded by clusters, which is usually irrigated by this well.

In addition to the medicine garden, Ge Xuan planted some vegetables and fruits. As far as the eye can see, all the branches and leaves are lush and green, with yellow, red, and purple flowers in between.

The medicine garden is in the atrium, and after that is the back court. There are seven houses in a jagged row. The largest one in the middle, the front is dedicated to the portrait of Daozu Laozi, and there is an offering platform in front of it, on which an incense burner is placed, and there are some offerings. This is also a hall for reception, dining, and worship. The first one to the left of the hall is Ge Xuan's room, the second from the left was originally reserved for Ge Hong to grow up, because of his young age, Ge Hong temporarily lived in the same room with Ge Xuan, so the second from the left was empty. The third from the left, which is the room on the far left. This room is also very large, used for medicine, alchemy, diagnosis and treatment, and storing scriptures, and this room is the room where Shi Xin first brewed medicine. To the right of the hall are three more rooms. All three rooms are empty, with only some clutter to clean up and use. In the end, the first right was given to Shi Xin, the second right was given to Chen Bing, and the third right was empty, and the sundries were still piled up for the time being.

The four of them entered the hall, Ge Xuan sat down in the middle, Shi Xin and Chen Bing stood on the left and right, standing with their hands down. Ge Hong was attracted by the toys on the side, and looked at the three of them with his eyes slippery as he played, wondering why they suddenly became so serious.

Ge Xuanyi straightened his clothes and said in a deep voice: "Although you have a certain understanding of our faction, I will still introduce it in detail again. The name of this sect is called Lingbao School, and the patriarch is Zuo Ci, who is also my teacher. He once warned me again and again not to say anything about his art passed on to me, so he said to the outside world that I was the founder of this school. Just remember it in your hearts, if you are lucky enough to see Master Zuo one day, don't lose your courtesy. ”

Chen Bing said curiously: "Why is this? The establishment of a sect is a major event, and it should be publicly displayed to the public and sacrificed to heaven and earth." If you hide everything, you will be too hidden......"

Ge Xuan slapped the table and shouted, "What are you hiding your head and showing your tail?

Chen Bing stuck out his tongue and made a pitiful expression: "I was wrong. ”

Ge Xuan snorted and accentuated his tone: "If you want to enter this door, the first thing is to respect the teacher, if you can't do it, please go back!"

Shi Xin and Chen Bing said in unison, "It can be done." ”

Ge Xuan's face was a little pale, and he said solemnly: "It is Confucianism who sacrifices everything to heaven and earth, pays attention to rules, and is meticulous." Our Taoists pay attention to quiet and inaction, and act spontaneously, and there are naturally reasons for what Zuo Shi does, and our juniors do it. ”

Chen Bing lowered his head when he heard Ge Xuan's lesson, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shi Xin said again: "Why don't you tell the rules and precepts of this sect first, so that you can save yourself from committing it later?"

Ge Xuan was stunned, and said, "This ...... Actually, I haven't thought about it yet. Every year, I hung a sign to accept disciples, but no one ever passed, and I gradually lost my confidence. I didn't expect two of them to come at once this year, and I was indeed a little caught off guard......

Shi Chen and the others, you look at me, I look at you, and they are speechless.

Ge Xuan thought for a while and said, "Okay, in fact, my Taoism doesn't have any rules and precepts, everything is about obedience and nature. Now I will draw up the door rules: First, you must not deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors. Second, they must not be committed to adultery. Third, they must not kill each other. Fourth, don't ......" he said the above three, and suddenly got stuck and couldn't think of it.

Chen Bing added a clause: Do not harm Zhongliang.

Shi Xin added another one: no bullying.

Chen Bing hurriedly said: Do not commit adultery, adultery and plunder.

Not to be outdone, Shi Xin must not be guilty of rebellion.

Chen Bing: Don't bully the market.

Shi Xin: You must not leave your post without permission.

Chen Bing: No ......

Shi Xin: No......

These two people have a big brain, just like rushing to answer a question, you come and I don't let each other go. In the end, it was so noisy that he almost slapped the table and kicked the chair.

Ge Xuan shouted: "Enough! Do you think the door rules are for play? What is the prohibition of bullying and dominating the market? Are we doing business? What is the prohibition of leaving the post without permission? Are we on duty?"

In this way, under the "heated discussion" of the three of them, the seven major rules of the Lingbao faction were finally released: First, you must not deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors. Second, they must not be committed to adultery. Third, they must not kill each other. Fourth, do not harm the faithful. Fifth, we must not bully the weak. Sixth, it is not allowed to be secretly abducted. 7. Do not commit adultery, adultery, or plunder.

Originally, the three of them had to make up enough for ten, but they were not satisfied with how they made it up, so they simply made seven. Although Ge Xuan is strict, Taoism pays attention to the rule of inaction, and on the other hand, it is understood that it is to act recklessly, and too many rules and regulations are contrary to the purpose.

Ge Xuan said: "Okay, you all report your age." ”

Shi Xin and Chen Bing realized that before entering the door, Ge Xuan was going to talk about seniority. In comparison, Shi Xin was ten years old and six months old, and Chen Bing was just ten years old, so Shi Xin became a senior brother, and Chen Bing was a junior sister.

Shi Xin smiled at Chen Bing: "Hello junior sister, the foolish brother is polite here!"

Chen Bing pulled his face and pouted, "Hmph! It's really a foolish brother." ”

At that moment, Shi Chen and the others pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, knelt in front of Ge Xuan, kowtowed respectfully three times, changed their words to "Master", and said a lot of congratulatory words. Both of them are smart and clever people, and they coaxed Ge Xuan to be happy, and their hearty laughter went straight to the roof. Then Ge Xuan solemnly recited the freshly baked seven major rules, and picked up some important things to reprimand, and this apprenticeship was over.

"Hong'er come here!" Ge Xuan sat upright and summoned Ge Hong, who was having a good time, "Kneel down and kowtow nine times, and then meet the two senior uncles, you can be regarded as the third generation of our Lingbao Sect." "Ge Xuan's algorithm is very correct, because Shi Chen and the others are his apprentices, and they are of the same generation as Ge Hong's father. Then it was logical for Ge Hong to call them uncle.

Ge Hong knelt down with a hippie smile, squeezed his eyebrows and smiled with every kowtow, and shouted, "Fun, fun." "When I got to the sixth, I lost my patience again and didn't want to knock anymore. finally coaxed him to kowtow nine heads, and when he saw the two uncles, he refused to do it again.

Shi Xin and Chen Bing naturally didn't care about the child and let him go out to play.

"Master, I have always wanted to ask, how did the current Han Dynasty govern the country, Confucianism or Taoism?" Shi Xin always wanted to ask. The history he sees today is very different from the history that later generations have agreed on. In the Three Kingdoms that he was well aware, Zhang Jiao's Taiping Sect, as the main force of the Yellow Turban Uprising, had now been transformed into a great religion recognized by the imperial court? Moreover, even the name was changed to the Heavenly Master Sect? You must know that in ancient times, Heaven was the greatest, and even the emperor was called the Son of Heaven, and it was chosen by God to govern the world. The Heavenly Master, who is the emperor's master, can't imagine that he is a thief.

"The Han Dynasty, since the founding of Gaozu Liu Bang, has always been a Taoist ruler, haven't your parents mentioned it?"

Shi Xin was a little confused: "What about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? What about Dong Zhongshu? Isn't he advocating "deposing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone"?"

Ge Xuan was stunned: "You know a lot, but "depose the hundred schools and respect Confucianism" is just a concept that Emperor Wu once mentioned when he was young, and it has never been implemented. ”
