Chapter 23: Apprenticeship

Slanted Ridge Peak

It is located in the northeast of Baixian Mountain

As the name suggests, the head of the face is a sloping ridge, with a steep slope and a straight cliff behind.

The three of them flew all the way to the mountainside with the help of Shouxu, and as soon as they landed, they were greeted by the three big characters of Qingxu Palace.

The three brothers were all surprised, even though there was such a large-scale Taoist temple in this half of the mountain forest, it was comparable to the Yuqing Hall that they had seen in Sanqing Mountain before.

At the entrance to the courtyard, eight pine trees stand tall and stand on all sides. Dozens of people in Taoist robes were practicing in the courtyard.

"The master is back. A disciple facing the gate was the first to see Shouxu enter the door and shouted.

Everyone stopped and stood up to greet them.

Shouxu said, "Go on! Let your senior brother come over." ”

"I'm going to call Senior Brother over, Master, please. The disciple who first saw Shouxu just now said and ran away.

In the strange eyes of everyone, Shouxu led the three of them into the main hall.

There is half the size of the courtyard in the hall, the murals of the gods on both sides are lifelike, and a statue of Gao Zhenwu of three people is set up in the main hall, so it is not mighty.

Different from other Taoist temples, there is no offering table and a large incense burner for people to worship, before the statue is like an ordinary living room, there are two main seats and one main table, but there is a small incense burner on the main table, and the incense burner is inserted with a red incense higher than a person, white smoke curls up, and eight large chairs are configured below.

"Master, what do you have to tell your disciple?" said a young man in casual clothes.

Shouxu looked at the three of Sun, Moon and Star and said, "This is your senior brother, called Yang Yu." If you don't understand in the future, you can ask him more. ”

The three of them looked at Yang Yu, who was only in his early twenties, and shouted at the same time, "Senior Brother Yang." ”

Yang Yu looked at the three of them with a smile and said, "Senior brother is polite, several junior brothers are really blessed, to be able to worship under the master's seat, it will be a day to the sky in the future." ”

Shouxu sat on the main seat and said lightly: "Rixi, Shen Xingchen, and Bai Xianyue." ”

Hearing Shouxu's introduction of the three people, Yang Yu seemed to be surprised, glanced at Shouxu, and immediately looked at the three of them.

"The three of them worship me as a teacher today and enter our immortal mountain gate. ”

"The disciple understands. Yang Yu turned around and walked out of the door, and walked back after a while. "Please also ask the master and the three junior disciples to wait for a while. ”

The three of them didn't know what they were going to do, and they all looked around curiously.

But after a while, the disciple just now held the tray and put three cups of tea on the plate, and walked slowly: "Master, senior brother." ”

Yang Yu smiled and said, "Three junior brothers, each of you holds a cup of tea." ”

The three of them each picked up a cup of tea according to what Yang Yu said.

Yang Yu: "Face the master, kneel down and serve tea." ”

The three of them knelt down one after another, and Rixi first lowered his head and held up the tea and said, "Master, please use tea." ”

Shouxu took the teacup, scraped the tea foam twice, took a sip, and then placed the tea on the table and sat upright.

"Senior brother day and night, kowtow to the master three times. Worship services. ”

Shen Xingchen did the same and said, "Master, please use tea." ”

Shouxu also took a sip of tea, put it aside, also sat upright, and was bowed by Shen Xingchen.

Bai Xianyue: "Master, please use tea." ”

Shouxu took the teacup again and took a sip, gently placed it on the table, and said after receiving Bai Xianyue's salute: "From today onwards, the three of you are my Shouxu's apprentices, and they are also our disciples of Baixian Mountain. Even if you are a disciple of my Baixian Mountain, you must follow the rules of my Baixian Mountain, and your senior brother will teach you later. ”

The three of them nodded, "Yes, Master." ”

Shouxu said again: "There are many door rules, I don't require you to do them one by one, but respect the teacher, don't deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, hold each other together, don't kill each other, these two things must be done." ”

The three of them replied, "Yes, Master." ”

Shouxu: "I don't expect you to become any saints, but our Baixian Mountain is a decent family in the eyes of everyone, and the disciples of the past generations have punished evil and promoted good, and acted above board." Even if you can't do it, you can be born like me and cultivate and be alone. ”

Three: "Disciple understands. ”

"Tomorrow, you still need to go to the Taiyi Divine Palace of Tianshu Peak to receive the canonization, and you are my official disciple of Baixian Mountain. Shouxu looked at Yang Yu and said, "You will also walk with me tomorrow, and the senior brother in charge there has already made arrangements." ”

Yang Yu: "Master, isn't this acceptance of disciples a one-time ceremony? ”

Shouxu: "The canonization of one jiazi is indeed aimed at a large number of believers who have been tested by Sanqingshan, and there are only three of them in this canonization. ”

Yang Yu: "This ......"

Shouxu looked at the three of them and said slowly: "Do it for the people of the world to see." ”

Yang Yu was silent for a while.

Shouxu: "The matter of the Demon Lord...... I'm sure you've heard some rumors as well. ”

The three of them looked at each other.

"I also know that it is unfair for such a thing to be placed on you. Shouxu paused for a while and continued: "You can do your best, don't carry anything hard, the affairs of the people of the world are carried by the people of the world, don't carry the safety of the whole world on your shoulders for the sake of that Xiaoyao Immortal, you know?"

"Your qualifications are quite high, there shouldn't be too many problems in cultivation, I have been in retreat for many years, and I have never spied on the eighth layer of my Baixian Mountain Method, even if the three of you have better qualifications than me, you can understand all the methods of the ancestors, but with the three of you, you may not be the opponent of the Demon Lord. However, you remember, if you want to die, before you, your master and I will die first, so many disciples of Baixian Mountain will die first, and now we will indeed offer you to the altar, you can do your best, don't force it, you just give the whole world a hope, you have done what you should do, understand?"

The Demon Lord has been sealed for thousands of years, and the seal of Jinzhong Mountain is about to expire, and just last night, people from the Demon Sect and the Demon Clan attacked Jinzhong Mountain in an attempt to rescue the Demon Lord in advance. News spread all over the streets and alleys that the Demon Lord was about to be born, and the people of Baixian Mountain found the Sun, Moon and Star Three before they were ready to cultivate and seal the prophecy of the Xiaoyao Immortal to fight against the Demon Lord, and for a time pushed the three of them to the forefront, as if the safety of the whole world was on the three of them. Although the three of them didn't say much, they all knew very well that whether they were the saviors mentioned in the prophecy or not, but the current situation was obvious, if the Demon Lord also believed in the prophecy, then the three of them would definitely be a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.

If they are really saviors, then why do they have to let the people of the world know their existence with great fanfare, and why do they have to let the people of the world know that they have followed Shouqing into the White Immortal Mountain? Isn't their existence as secret as possible? Or are they indeed just a pretense as Master said, just to reassure the people of the world? Just to give the people of the world an illusory hope?

The cultivation has not yet begun, the body and mind have not yet entered the world, but they have been forced to become a figure in the limelight, even if the teacher is the backer and the righteous path is to protect them, but who really cares what they think in their hearts?

What kind of salvation prophecy of the free immortals, what kind of famous income, so what? Who has asked them if they are cold?

At this moment, a master who had only known each other for less than two hours, such words were so heartwarming.

The three of them had sour noses almost at the same time, and they were already choked.

Rixi and Shen Xingchen's eyes were already flashing with tears, and Bai Xianyue was even more temperamental, directly dripping two tears.

"Don't cry!"

Bai Yiyue waved her arm to wipe away her tears.

"About the marks on your bodies. Shouxu paused and continued: "Are you willing to tell the teacher what is going on?"

The three looked at each other strangely.

Bai Xianyue was the first to say: "Master, I have had this since I was a child, and I don't know how I came here. ”

Sunset continued: "Me too, I have had it since I was a child. ”

Bai Xianyue: "Master, mine is not, one day I went up the mountain to collect medicine, and I suddenly fainted on the way, and I only found out when Uncle Shouqing woke me up." ”

Shouxu: "That's it, I won't ask, in the future, the teacher will tell you what is on your body! ”

The three of them knelt down and said, "Thank you, Master." ”

"Yang Yu, you take them to the house to rest first, arrange a room for the three of them, and the others don't disturb them, and call them to eat later. ”

Yang Yu said, "Yes, Master." Then he turned to the three and said, "Three junior brothers, please come with me." ”

The three of them got up and followed Yang Yu to leave through the side door, through the corridor, through the entrance, and through a tree-lined path, vaguely seeing the corner of the eaves in front of them.

"Senior brother, can we be considered apprentices like this?" Bai Yiyue asked curiously.

Yang Yu smiled and said: "After toasting tea and kowtowing, you are the master's apprentices." It's always been like this, Master said that there is no need for so much red tape, just mean it. ”

"Is there such a big house on every mountain?" Bai Yiyue asked again.

Yang Yu replied with a smile: "Jade Girl Peak and Jade True Peak are two female uncles, and they have never disliked male disciples to enter, so I don't know, I have been fortunate to go to the other main peaks with my master, and they are almost the same." ”

Bai Xianyue: "Do the uncles and uncles all live in the Taoist temple?"

Yang Yu: "In addition to our Xieling Peak and Yuzhen Peak have always been Taoist temples, the first ones in the past dynasties are also monks, and at present, Chaoyang Peak was later changed to a Taoist temple, and it is also said that in the future, only the disciples of the monks can take over the first seat of Chaoyang Peak." On other hills, you can see the larger houses in the folk. ”

Bai Xianyue: "Aren't there many small hills, and when I came, I saw that there were on the top of each mountain?"

Yang Yu said with a smile: "Senior Brother Bai, your eyesight is really good, it is true that there are disciples of Baixian Mountain stationed on the top of each auxiliary peak, and there are also many uncles and uncles who live, but almost all of them live in temples that can be seen by the people, and there are rooms in the ear room for people to live in, which is relatively simple." ”

"Why is there a person living on every mountain? Is it just to occupy it, or is there any other meaning?" Bai Yiyue seemed to have endless questions.

"This is not just to make every mountain garrisoned, but also because one of our formations in Baixian Mountain needs someone to assist each mountain, and you will understand it in the future. Yang Yu said with a smile.

"Why does Master Shouqing need a big gossip mirror when he takes us to fly, but when Master takes us back, he doesn't need anything, as long as he waves his arm, he can fly out of thin air?"

Yang Yu still kept smiling, and said tirelessly: "Uncle Shi uses the Bagua Mirror to take you, that is called the flight of imperial objects, which generally has to fly a very long distance, and it is more convenient when you need to carry other people, what Master uses is to travel against the wind, although it also carries you, but because the distance is relatively close, and the master has profound skills, it can only be done." You'll know a little bit about these when you start practicing our White Immortal Mountain exercises. ”

"Okay!" Bai Xianyue smiled, "Thank you, senior brother." ”

Yang Yu opened the door with a smile: "Senior brother, this is your room, the bedding inside is all new, the three of you have a room, and the others are twelve in a room." ”

Shen Xingchen said, "Thank you, senior brother." ”

"Dinner here will be earlier, almost before sunset, but there are also many juniors and disciples who will have evening classes, so there will be another meal, you will eat with the juniors and disciples who have finished the evening class later, you take a break, I will come to call you" Saying that, Yang Yu gently closed the door and walked away.
