Chapter 19 Generation
White Immortal Mountain
Although it was already afternoon, many peaks in Baixian Mountain were still shrouded in fairy mist, flowing slowly, as if time had become slow because of this. From time to time, the sound of cranes in the depths of the mountains is heard, and the sense of leisure reaches the hearts of people.
Standing on the top of the mountain, looking far away, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the territory is vast, and the heart is relaxed.
Taiyi Shrine
The statue of Sanqing stands majestically as high as ten zhang.
Sitting on the top of the high hall is the same crane bone fairy wind as Shouqing, the clothes are average, but he is full of green silk, full of energy, and he looks no more than sixty years old.
Just looking at such a young person, who would have thought that this person would be the head of one of the three major sects that are famous all over the world. And he is the senior brother of the world-famous Dacheng Shouqing. And obviously as a senior brother, his appearance is younger than Shouqing, who is profound, which shows that his skills are much higher than Shouqing.
"Senior brother, you're back!"
Shouqing raised his left palm, put the dust on his left arm with his right hand, and bowed: "Senior brother, how is it?"
Shouzhen smiled: "Okay, good, it's better if you come back." ”
Turning around and seeing Shen Xingchen and the three of them, Shouzhen asked, "These are the three people that the junior brother found?"
Shouqing nodded, stretched out his right hand and pointed to the inner hall: "Senior brother, please take a step to speak." ”
Shouzhen glanced at the three of them as he walked to the inner hall.
The three of them looked around curiously.
"Big brother, second brother, it's so magnificent here!" Bai Xianyue couldn't help but say.
Rixi and Shen Xingchen nodded at the same time, expressing their agreement.
At this time, a Taoist boy walked out of the inner hall, slightly younger than the three of them, wearing a mixed yuan scarf on his head, wearing a blue robe, and wearing cloud socks and ten square shoes on his feet, dressed as a serious Taoist priest.
Xiao Xiaotong put the tray with three bowls of tea on the table in the guest hall at the lower step and said, "Master instructs, please follow me to the cool courtyard behind the palace and wait." They will come later. ”
He picked up the tray and led the three of them out of the side door, passed through a long corridor, turned the entrance, and came to a cool courtyard. In the courtyard, a round stone table and chairs are placed in it. "Three of you, rest on this stone chair for a while. He put down his tea and walked away.
"Big brother, second brother, what do you say those two old things are talking about? Bai Yiyue sat on the stone chair, picked up the tea and said.
Shen Xingchen said: "Instant Yue, since we are going to worship under the White Immortal Mountain Gate, and this is the main hall of the sect, it is better for us to restrain ourselves a little and respect them." ”
"I see. Bai Yiyue scraped the tea foam with the lid of the cup, and a fragrance came to her nose, took a small sip, refreshed it into her throat, and returned sweetly. Bai Xianyue couldn't help but exclaim: "Well, eldest brother, second brother, you can also taste this tea, it's delicious." ”
Shen Xingchen and Rixi also sat on the stone chair and tasted tea.
Even if the three of them are not very good at drinking tea, but the taste of this tea is excellent, even if people who don't know how to taste tea, they are clear in one mouthful, and they are sweet and nine turns their intestines in two mouthfuls.
The three of them could only drink tea while waiting quietly. And Bai Yiyue was even more leisurely swinging around Erlang's legs, not treating herself as an outsider at all.
Shen Xingchen and Rixi looked at it, and they could only smile and shake their heads. But an inexplicable feeling rose involuntarily in my heart. I can't say what it feels like.
Half an hour has passed, and Dao Tong has brought tea for the third time.
"Hey, when did your master come out?" Bai Xianyue finally couldn't help but ask.
"The three of you, please don't be impatient, the master and uncle haven't finished talking yet. As he spoke, a bright smile appeared on Dao Tong's face, and he looked like a naughty child.
"Uncle Shi again, what kind of seniority is it?" This time it really made Bai Xianyue dizzy.
As if looking at the three of them bored, Xiao Daotong explained to the three of them: "We press here: 'Shou', 'One', 'Whole', 'Deng' typesetting, the current highest generation is the master of the Shouzi generation, such as the real person in charge, as well as the uncles and ancestors who guard the mountain. ”
"Guarding the mountain, one by one?" asked Bai Xianyue.
"Yes, in addition to the nine main peaks, there are also ninety peaks with a mountain keeper on each. However, among the ninety sub-peaks, one of the senior uncles and uncles has taken over. Our Baixian Mountain is vast, and there are many talents, some of whom have already attained the Tao, some of whom guard the mountain gate, and some of whom have traveled through the world. So I haven't seen many ancestors and uncles either. Dao Tong continued: "Next is the first generation of uncles, uncles, and my masters. ”
The three of them looked at Dao Tong curiously and did not speak.
"We Baixian Mountain disciples need to practice the exercises to a certain extent, so that the master feels that he has become a teacher, and then he can accept apprentices. If your apprentice starts to accept apprentices, then it also means that you will no longer accept apprentices, of course, there are exceptions, if you meet someone who is destined, even if the apprentice has become a master, in order to cherish talents, you will still make an exception to accept apprentices, but more so that your apprentices are accepted as apprentices. And after leaving the teacher, it also means that you have to break away from the discipline of the master and practice on your own, and you will have to rely completely on yourself in the future. But how profound the Baixian Mountain exercises are, how can they be taught casually. Some people have been extremely poor all their lives, and they have not yet broken through the third realm, let alone become a teacher. Looking at the expectant eyes of the three people, Dao Tong seemed to be interested, and his face was full of pride: "But once a master said that if he brought an apprentice, his exercises and artistic conception could be improved faster, so later we Baixian Mountain stipulated that anyone who broke through the third class could accept apprentices with the permission of the master and meet someone who was destined." My master, Li Fan, broke through the third class early, and I had the opportunity to meet his old man, so he accepted me. That's why I'm the whole word, and my name is Quanxin. ”
"Didn't you just say that your master is from the same generation, why is it called Li Fan?" Bai Yiyue had more and more questions. "Also, I met a senior who was older than Na Xie Qingji, why is the generation younger than her?"
Wholeheartedly: "You said that Dengzhen's little nephew is a disciple selected from Sanqing Mountain."
Bai Xianyue: "Sanqing Mountain?"
"Hmm. He nodded his head and said, "Let's talk about my master's name first." His common name is Li Fan, and he is the eldest disciple of the real person in charge. Our disciples of Baixian Mountain, whether or not they become monks depends entirely on their own wishes......"
"I know this, Shouqing told us. Bai Xianyue interrupted Quanxin's words.
Quanxin continued: "Uncle Shouqing told you this, so did you talk about receiving gifts?"
All three shook their heads at the same time.
Wholeheartedly: "Whoever has the fate to enter our disciples of Baixian Mountain, if it is the beginning of Jindan, he must go out to watch and receive the ceremony." It is to go to Sanqing Mountain to receive the title of the Dao and keep the precepts for a year. After one year of merit, return to Baixian Mountain to practice. There is a mortal character in my master's name, and it is a generation, so the Taoist name is Yifan, and people from the outside world call me Master Yifan Zhenren, or Yifan Taoist. And his old man's Taoist name was given by the master's master, and he directly added the seniority to the name and changed it to Li Yifan. However, this name can only be called by the master's master or elders, as well as those close to the same family, and the Taoist name is also relatively important. However, my ancestors and my fellow teachers and uncles all called my master by his common name as a sign of closeness. However, as far as the Dao number is concerned, whether you are a monk seeking the Tao or a Huoju Daoist, the Dao number will follow you for a lifetime, and outsiders will call you to show respect. There are also those who discard common names and don't use them, such as me and my junior brother. Therefore, no matter in the division, it is outside, and it is called our Tao number. ”
The three of them listened with relish and nodded again and again.
"As the gateway of Baixian Mountain, Sanqing Mountain is mainly a Taoist temple that entertains our non-religious believers. For those who have no chance to enter the gate of Baixian Mountain, and those who devote themselves to the Tao, Sanqingshan will be included in the door to teach, and only after a Jiazi test can they enter Baixian Mountain through various examinations, otherwise they can only practice in Sanqing Mountain for the rest of their lives. ”
Bai Xianyue: "Yijiazi?"
He nodded heavily: "This is the same as the so-called lay disciples of the Puzhao Temple. It's just a leg into the mountain gate. If you meet a talented person, such as Dengzhen, you can also make an exception to enter the door in advance. The disciples elected by Sanqingshan have the lowest generation, that is, the Dengzi generation. I will also send a few disciples to be a nominal master. But in fact, it is still taught by elders or other ancestors. So Deng Zhen looks older than Uncle Xie Qing, but his generation is much younger than her. There are even people who are over eighty years old who call me uncle!" Speaking of this, my whole heart is proud again.
"Then the three of us will also add a word to our own names in the future?" Bai Yiyue asked curiously.
He laughed heartily and said, "What beauty do you think! You went up the mountain so late, so you don't have to go back to Sanqing Mountain and those disciples outside the sect generally have to be tested before you can get started." By then, you will all be my little nephews. ”
"Then aren't you the apprentice of Li Fan who went directly to Baixian Mountain?" Bai Xianyue said unconvinced.
"That's because I have a relationship with Master. If you really have the fate to go straight to Baixian Mountain, that is, the junior disciples of the whole generation. You have to call me brother. Speaking of this, Quanxin smiled brightly, tilted his body and said: "Our Baixian Mountain attaches great importance to the etiquette in the door! ”
The three of them glanced at each other at the same time, with a look of disdain.
"Senior Brother wholeheartedly, teach the real person to let the three of them in. Another Taoist boy in the distance called.
"Okay, I got it. Quanxin turned his face and said, "He is my junior brother, called Quanyi." In the future, he will also be your little uncle, and you have to respect him. Alright, the real person in charge of the sect told you to go in, let's go!"
The three of them didn't seem to listen to Quanxin's words at all, and walked straight into the hall. It seems to be airing the whole heart of the side.
Looking at the backs of the three of them leaving, the anger was hard to quench, so I had to hold back. He snorted like a child, tilted his head, and pretended not to see. Sulking at yourself.
I only heard a sentence not far away: "Wholeheartedly...... What a name for the soil......"
Wholeheartedly: "......"
