Chapter 4: Monasticism

Sitting behind the counter, Ye Lang was in a daze, it had been three months since he came to this world, and every day he was recognizing, distinguishing, reciting, and grabbing medicine, which made Ye Lang popularize a lot of medicinal knowledge during this time. After this period of adaptation, Ye Lang has gradually settled down, he looks energetic, and he has grown a lot taller, and it is estimated that there is a sunny little boy next door who is one meter seven or eight. If you come here, you can go back now, and I don't know if you can go back. Although, Ye Lang misses his parents and elders in his previous life very much, but people, they can't live in the past, they have to cherish the present, if they were in the past, Ye Lang would not have such an understanding, but after experiencing a death, he still has some feelings.

"Lang, Lang~" Ye Lang suddenly heard someone calling him, "Hey~" sighed, collected his thoughts, raised a smile, and turned his head to look at Yao Ling'er, "What's wrong, Sister Ling'er?" After getting acquainted with Yao Ling'er, Yao Ling'er called Ye Lang Lang, Ye Lang's friends in his previous life called him so, of course, sometimes some people always smiled obscenely when they heard Lang Lang Ah scream.

"My father told you to close the shop and go to his house, and tell us something to tell us. Yao Ling'er replied with a smile.

"Close the shop, what's the big deal, do you want to close the shop?" looked at the sky outside, it was still early, around three o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Lang stared at his eyebrows and said questioningly. But Yao Ling'er couldn't say why.

Ye Lang and Yao Ling'er came to the main hall, and before they could knock on the door, Yao Lao's voice came from inside, "Come in, the door is not locked." ”

Ye Lang pushed the door in, Yao Ling'er followed closely, and after entering the house, he saw Yao Lao sitting at the desk on the right side of the living room, writing, Ye Lang glanced at it, Yao Lao wrote the word "Dao", which had just been written, and the ink had not yet dried. After Ye Lang and the others came in, Yao Lao raised his head and looked at them with a very serious expression.

"I called you here to say something, something about the Tao, but of course the main thing is to tell you. Yao Lao looked at the "Dao" on the desk, and then looked at Ye Lang. Ye Lang was very confused, completely confused, looked at Yao Ling'er beside him, and found that her eyes were clear, and she did not show a puzzled look, as if she knew what Yao Lao was going to say.

"Do you know what the Dao is?" Yao Lao asked.

Ye Lang shook his head, but said in his heart, "What is the Tao? If you ask Lao Tzu about this, Lao Tzu may not be able to explain it clearly, and I don't know." Although in his previous life, Ye Lang had read the Tao Te Ching, but he had almost forgotten it, who knew what the "Dao" was, he could only say that it was nothing, ethereal, and eternal.

"You know why when you came to Jishitang, I didn't even look up to know that someone had come in, and I knew if it was a man or a woman. Yao Lao asked again, but it felt unrelated to the previous question, as if the conversation had just begun here.

Ye Lang shook his head again, "Maybe it was guessed from the footsteps, maybe it was seen by the eyes of the eye, who knows." But I couldn't help but guess in my heart.

"Actually, there's another side to this world, but you can't see it. At the beginning, I was able to find out that you came in and knew your age and gender, and it was by spiritual power, and spiritual power is something that every cultivator has, but the strength is different. Yao Lao looked at Ye Lang, as if he was waiting for Ye Lang to digest it.

"Cultivation, there is a cultivation in this world?" Ye Lang completely ignored Yao Lao's previous words, and there were only two words in his mind, and he was shocked. Although when I first came to this world, I was always speculating whether there would be immortal cultivation or cultivation in this world, but I never found any vitality and immortal cultivators, and now when I heard Yao Lao talk about it, I was still stunned. After being shocked for a while, Ye Lang came back to his senses and looked at Yao Lao with burning eyes.

Yao Lao was a little awkward by him, but seeing that Ye Lang came back to his senses, he continued the topic just now, "Cultivator, you have to go through the stages of fading mortal, gathering spirits, knotting pills, and sealing kings, and I don't know if there are any ones behind." If you want to become a cultivator, it is very difficult, especially the big hurdle of entry, which has stopped countless people's dreams of cultivation, the so-called fading is to open up the eight veins of the body, restore the innate body, so that the vitality of heaven and earth can enter the body, form a cycle, retain the vitality and continue to absorb it, so that it can be regarded as officially stepping into the door of cultivation. When opening up the meridians, it is like a hundred ants devouring the heart, the pain is incomparable, and it cannot be done unless the will is firm. If it fails, it will be paralyzed at least and die by exploding at worst. I won't talk about it more, but now I want to ask you if you want to cultivate. ”

"Yes. "Of course I want to, Ye Lang still has a dream in his heart, a dream of going back, I thought I could only think about it, but I didn't expect that there is still cultivation in this world, I saw in the novel before, the protagonist of the crossing, when he is a great achievement, can break through the boundaries of time and space, return to his hometown, and now he sees hope, of course Ye Lang has to chase it with all his might, whether it succeeds or not.

"Then are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" After three months of observation, Yao Lao is still very satisfied with Ye Lang, with a calm personality, firm will, and a strong sense of responsibility, although sometimes debauched, in general, the character is still very good, but the qualifications are a little worse, but the moon is cloudy and sunny, and everything cannot be perfect. Besides, in this little footfall, it's already good to meet someone with qualifications, what else can you ask for.

In this world, the inheritance of the Tao is very rigorous, generally it is the inheritance of the master or the family inheritance, no one said to pick one up on the side of the road, pleasing to the eye, with good qualifications, can not be pointed out at will, but to reach a consensus between the two sides, become a master and apprentice, the name is right.

"Willing, willing~, the master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship. Ye Lang was so excited that he burst into tears, such a good opportunity must be seized, and after speaking, the old man bowed three times and gave a cup of tea. Originally, this world pays great attention to the etiquette of apprenticeship, and it is inevitable to kneel three times and bow nine times, and it is even more appropriate to honor a cup of tea. But the ideas of the new era have shaped some of Ye Lang's character, Ye Lang never kneels, except for his parents, the emperor and queen of heaven are not good, and the teacher is even worse. Like in his previous life, Ye Lang's teacher would have fifty or sixty, if there were three for one person, then he would still have it, and he would not have become a kowtow worm.

Yao Lao looked at Ye Lang, nodded, and didn't say anything, as if he recognized Ye Lang's behavior. After all, in the past three months, he has learned a little about Ye Lang, and from time to time some new words will pop out of his mouth, some words that he can't understand, and he also knows that Ye Lang is a wanderer, well, Ye Lang said so, he will not admit that he is a beggar, let alone an earthling, anyway, Yao Lao blames everything for being abnormal on Ye Lang's life experience, he thinks that these are the formation of Ye Lang's unruly character," Very good, Lang'er, you will be my apprentice from now on, here are two books, you take them and read them, get familiar with them as soon as possible, starting from tomorrow, look at the shop during the day, and rush the pulse at night, I will protect the Dharma for you, and strive to break through the fading world as soon as possible and step into the path of cultivation. After speaking, Yao Lao took out two thread-bound books from his arms and handed them to Ye Lang.

After taking it, Ye Lang took a look, one was "Detailed Explanation of the Human Body's Pulse", which should be prepared for Ye Lang's pulse, and the other was "Fundamentals of Cultivation", which seemed to be to popularize Ye Lang's knowledge of cultivation.

"You go back and take a look first, if you don't understand, you can come and ask me, or you can ask your senior sister, that is, your sister Ling'er, although Ling'er is younger than you, but the master is a teacher, so you have to call it senior sister." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Yao Ling'er, "Ling'er, you can help your junior brother more in cultivation and help him get started as soon as possible." Okay, you go back first, I still have something to say to your senior sister. ”

"Okay, I'll help my junior brother a lot. Yao Ling'er replied with a smile. Hearing this, Ye Lang said to Yao Lao, and returned to his room, Yao Ling'er was still there, but hearing Yao Lao's words, Ye Lang knew why Yao Ling'er smiled so proudly when she heard herself call her sister.
