Chapter 3 Getting Started
The first to react was Zhang Ping's father, who suddenly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, and kept saying: "Immortal Master Immortal Master, my family Ping'er is willing to worship Immortal Master as a teacher, and I wish to worship Immortal Master as a teacher!"
Zhang Ping was stunned "Ah!", then suddenly shook his head, pointed at Changqingzi and said, "You liar, this deception is also good." The trick is also getting good, but please leave my house immediately, or I will report to the police and arrest you!"
Changqingzi smiled, looked at the sky disapprerovantly, and said, "Do you know what this meteor in the sky is?"
Without waiting for Zhang Ping to answer, Changqingzi jumped up and flew towards the sky, and disappeared in an instant. After another moment, it seemed that a cyan meteor in the sky was flying towards Zhang Ping's family, and then suddenly stopped in mid-air, bringing a wave of qi, and Changqingzi revealed his true face. smiled and said to Zhang Ping: "Am I still a liar?"
Zhang Ping stood motionless, but his legs trembled. The chin disobeyed and said: "Lie and cheat and cheat..."
Half a month later, the news that Zhang Ping was going to be an immortal spread to every corner of the town. Zhang Ping's father also ushered in the delivery every day, and the matchmaker came seven or eight. Zhang's father pushed it on the grounds that Ping'er was too young and didn't talk about marriage first. Of course, there are many people who give gifts, and Zhang's father pushed some of them, and some of them accepted them if they couldn't push them.
This day is the day when Zhang's father will hold a banquet for Zhang Ping, after all, it is a big deal that someone in the town is going to be an immortal. The backyard of the Zhang family was full of banquets. Fortunately, the backyard of Zhang's house is big enough to accommodate more than 30 tables. Zhang's father and Zhang Ping greeted them at the door, and more and more people came to congratulate them, and the flowing water seats in the backyard became more and more full. When the crowd was full, Zhang's father pulled Zhang Ping to toast from table to table. The aunt of the Li family took Zhang Ping's little hand and said kindly: "Although my family Tian'er is only five years old this year, but I can also see that it is a beautiful embryo.
"Hmm, haha. Well, Mrs. Li, our family is still young, let's talk about marrying a wife and having children later!"
"Our family is really promising, what is it to be an official, can you be an immortal when you are an official? Don't forget your aunt when you become an immortal in the future!" Zhang Ping's aunt touched Zhang Ping's head and said.
"Look at other people's children, and then look at you," said the widow of the Wang family to her children.
"Ping'er, don't be deceived by him when you go with that Taoist priest..."Zhang Ping's aunt said....
In the evening, the banquet was dispersed, and Zhang Ping also returned to his room and lay on the bed. Many people have said a lot to him today, as if all the words he has heard since he was a child are not as much as he heard in a day today. No matter what he heard, he didn't want to disappoint the villagers. He just said to himself, "Zhang Ping, you must not fail them!" and fell asleep!
A few days later, the time agreed with Changqingzi to pick him up was up. On this day, a lot of people gathered at the door of Zhang's house, and everyone wanted to see the demeanor of the immortal master. Just after noon, suddenly two long rainbows fell from the sky and fell directly in the courtyard of the Zhang family. The Zhang family came out to greet them, and Zhang's father saw that the two were about twenty years old, one was dressed in white and wore a high crown, and his appearance was heroic and extraordinary. One was also dressed in white and had a handsome face. When Father Zhang saw these two people coming by sword, he said respectfully: "The two immortal masters are here to pick up my Ping'er, right?
"Don't bother the old man!" which one is Zhang Ping?" said the heroic monk with some contempt in his eyes.
Zhang Ping naturally stood up from the crowd and said, "It's me." ”
The blue-clothed monk stepped forward and said to Zhang Ping cordially: "Little junior brother, this is your senior brother Wei Zhengyuan, and I am your third senior brother Wen Xiu. Today, I am here to take you back to the sect on the order of the master and the elder son!"
Seeing this, Zhang Ping shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Wei, Senior Brother Wen!"
Senior Brother Wen came over and took Zhang Ping's hand, looked at Zhang Ping's still immature little face, and said with a smile: "Senior brother is not polite, we will be Master's brothers in the future, how can we see so much?"
At this time, Senior Brother Wei, who was standing behind, said expressionlessly, "Let's go, Master asked us to go back as soon as possible." ”
Wen Xiu looked at Zhang Pingyou at the Zhang family's parents behind him, and sighed: "Go and say goodbye to your parents!" Zhang Ping turned his head and looked at his mother who had been crying and his reluctant father. His tears also fell, and he ran to his mother and hugged her. shouted "Mother!" Zhang Ping's mother couldn't cry anymore, and Zhang's father next to him complained about Zhang's mother and said: "What are you crying about, it's not that you won't come back if you go." Wait for Ping'er to become an immortal, so that you can be cured!" Seeing this, Zhang Ping took three steps back and knelt down in front of his parents. Crying and said: "Dad! Mother! When the child finishes his studies, he will come back to repay his parents! Let his parents be healthy and live longer than Nanshan!" After speaking, he kowtowed three times, got up and made a gesture to Wei and Wen: "Senior Brother Wei, Senior Brother Wen, we can go!"
Wei and Wen sacrificed their flying swords, and Wen Xiu pulled him on his flying sword, and the three of them flew into the distance together...
When the figures of the three disappeared from the sky, Father Zhang looked in the direction in which they disappeared. His eyes finally blurred, and his voice trembled and muttered: "Ping'er, Ping'er..."
Zhang Ping rode Wen Xiu's flying sword and watched his parents and the village gradually become smaller under his feet. He didn't feel afraid, but his heart was more excited by this wonderful feeling of flying, and he had a beautiful yearning for becoming an immortal.
"Little junior brother, it's the first time you fly so high and you're not afraid, it seems that your concentration is still good. Our sect is located in the northern elk of the Taiyue Mountain Range, and the entire Taiyue Mountain Range is a huge spiritual vein. Therefore, there are many sects, and our Qingyu Sect is enough to rank among the best in these large and small sects, and our master Changqingzi is one of the three great elders of our sect, and it is really a great opportunity for a mortal who has no cultivation at all to worship his master as a teacher. Wen Xiu said slowly.
"Then do we have mortals like me in our sect?" Zhang Ping asked.
"Yes, there are, but they are just some miscellaneous servants who are bent on seeking the Tao but have no spiritual roots, and they can only do some miscellaneous work in normal times, and we will also give them some low-level cultivation exercises. ”
Along the way, Wen Xiu told Zhang Ping a lot, including strange things in the cultivation world, as well as etiquette rules after entry. Zhang Ping remembered them all in his heart.
After the time of the two incense sticks, Wen Xiu's sword trick was pointed, and the two of them landed with the flying sword. Wei Zhengyuan took out a red and white jade pendant from his waist and shone it in front of him. When the fog cleared, Zhang Ping's eyes were revealed as a huge and magnificent complex of buildings.
There are some places in the sect where the sword cannot be resisted, Zhang Ping followed behind the two senior brothers, and Wen Xiu turned back to talk to Zhang Ping from time to time.
"Little junior brother, this is Lingyun Pavilion, which collects all kinds of exercise cheats of this sect. There is the Baicao Garden, and the medicinal herbs in the sect are all from ......there" Unconsciously, everyone walked to the front of Changqingzi's cave, which looked very ordinary outside, just a stone gate, Wei Zhengyuan stood in front of Wen Xiu and Zhang Ping, and respectfully worshipped: "Disciple Wei Zhengyuan and Senior Brother Wen Xiu have come back with the little junior brother, please open the door." ”
With that, the stone door slowly opened. A group of three people walked into the cave. I saw Changqingzi sitting cross-legged on the futon and closed his eyes to recuperate. Wei Wen and the others knelt on the ground: "Meet the master!" Wen Xiu pulled Zhang Ping's sleeve: "Little junior brother, kneel down quickly." Zhang Ping heard Wen Xiu's words, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Meet the master!"
Changqingzi slowly opened his eyes and said slowly: "Well, Zhengyuan, Wen Xiu, get up." Zhang Ping, if you enter my door, you will be counted as my fourth apprentice. I don't have so much red tape in my apprenticeship, but one thing you should remember is that if you betray the master one day, you will definitely clean up the door for the teacher, so you kneel down and give the teacher a cup of tea!" Holding tea and saying: "Zhang Ping will enter the sect of the master and the elder son from now on, and he will remember the teachings of the master and abide by the decree of the master. Never betray your master!"
Changqingzi took the teacup with a kind smile on her face. Zhang Ping kowtowed three more times.
"Okay, get up, today, if you enter my door, I will give you three greeting gifts as a teacher.
First, there is a myelin-washing pill for the teacher, which can wash people's muscles and bones. Let people practice the same way. This second thing, for the sake of the teacher's view that you are the spiritual root of the wood attribute, I will give you a book of intermediate and high-grade wood attribute exercises. This third thing is a self-defense talisman called Injury Stop, your cultivation is still weak, and you can't use the magic weapon of the spirit weapon, even if you give it to you, it will attract jealousy. This spirit rune is more suitable for you, so I will give it to you!"
Wen Xiu saw the talisman, his pupils shrank, and he immediately lowered his head. Zhang Ping bowed to his master and thanked him.
"Zhang Ping, the disciples of this sect must enter the heart refining stone with their heart's work, one is that the heart refining stone is strange, once the disciple's life is in danger, the heart refining stone can react, and the second is to prevent the disciple from judging the door, once the heart refining stone drops into the heart of others, it can be connected to the heart of others, and the heart and veins will collapse if the stone is damaged. Zhang Ping, you have to remember that one day you enter my disciple, you will be my disciple for the rest of your life, and you will only die if you rebel!" Changqingzi flicked his sleeve again, and a swarthy stone flew down in front of Zhang Ping.
"Little junior brother, I'm here to help you get your heart and soul out. ”
Wen Xiu said, and the index finger of his right hand tapped Zhang Ping's chest and swiped it in the direction of his left arm. Zhang Ping only felt a slight tightness in his chest, a swelling pain in his left index finger, and a drop of blood fell into the heart refining stone. The heart refining stone slowly turned from black to red, emitting light, and the light shone brightly and darkly with Zhang Ping's heartbeat. Wen Xiu picked up the heart refining stone and placed it in the stone platform on the wall of the cave.
"Go! I'll check on your cultivation after March, don't be greedy. Go and go. ”
"Yes. ”
The three of them walked out of the cave, and Wen Xiu pulled him to familiarize himself with the sect nearby.
"Elder Li, this is the disciple Zhang Ping that the master has just received, this is the seal letter of the master, please Elder Li with the new disciple's waist card. ”
"Hehe, congratulations to Uncle Changqingzi for getting another disciple, and congratulations to Senior Brother Wen for having a little junior brother. With that, he smiled and took out a package from the warehouse and handed it to Zhang Ping.
"Thank you, Elder Li. Zhang Ping said respectfully.
"Yo, Wen Xiu, who is this kid, isn't it your illegitimate child?" a clear voice came from behind the two.
Wen Xiu frowned slightly and turned back. The three purple-clothed monks stood not far away, "It turned out to be Senior Brother Zhang and two Senior Brother Chen. Don't be kidding, this is the apprentice who has just been accepted by Shizun's old man, named Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping, call Senior Brother!"
"Zhang Ping has seen three senior brothers. ”
"Disciple, I heard that Elder Changqing will accept a disciple recently, I'm afraid it's him with excellent spiritual roots!" The purple-clothed monk led by him squinted at Zhang Ping and said.
"That's right, the little junior brother's spiritual root is the wood attribute spiritual root. Wen Xiu replied.
"Then I want to congratulate the little junior brother on his first entry into the Immortal Gate, if there is anything I don't understand in the future practice, just come and ask me. The purple-clothed monk at the head said with a smile.
The two monks surnamed Zhang in the back echoed contemptuously: "Yes, you and Senior Brother Zhang are our own family, and we should take care of them, Baojiao Baohui~"
The monk surnamed Zhang, who was the leader, turned his head and glared at the two of them, and then turned back.
"My two junior brothers are naughty, the little junior brother must not laugh, I think the junior brother is talented and intelligent. Within 100 days, it will be able to accept the spirit of small success. Don't bother with that, farewell!"
Wen Xiu looked at the backs of the three of them leaving, and said to Zhang Ping, "Senior brother, there are three Supreme Elders in this sect, the Great Elder Kuyun Zhenren, the second elder is our master Evergreen Son, and the third elder is called Master Baihong, who is a female elder. The three in front of them are the three disciples of the Great Elder Kuyun Zhenren, led by Zhang Fanke. The two twin brothers in the back, the elder brother is called Chen Zhong, and the younger brother is called Chen Bai. Among the disciples, we have always been at odds with them. Don't take it to heart what he said just now, if you want to say that Naling Xiaocheng, even if it is a heavenly spirit root, it is impossible to become a hundred days Naling Xiaocheng. ”
The two chatted and walked, and soon came to a cave.
"Little junior brother, there are many disciples in the sect, but there are very few core disciples like you and me, and you only need to devote yourself to cultivation and improve your cultivation, and you don't have to worry about the rest of the miscellaneous things. Although this cave is small, it has a strong aura, which is conducive to the cultivation of the little junior brother. Wen Xiu took Zhang Ping to a cave halfway up the mountain and said to him. "Oh, by the way, in the middle of every month, the disciples of this sect can get the pills they need for cultivation at the pharmacy, don't forget. ”
Zhang Ping made a mockery of Wen Xiu, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wen!"
"Little junior brother, you can walk up this path for half an hour in my cave, there is an old locust tree in front of the cave, you can ask me if you don't know anything about cultivation. With that, Wen Xiu left on his own.
