Chapter 8: Apprenticeship
Early the next morning, Liang Yu and Cheng ran to Laojun Mountain with Lu Linlang without saying hello.
Laojun Mountain was originally known as Jingmur Mountain, and some people called it "the unparalleled holy realm in the world, the world's first immortal mountain." ”
According to legend, Lao Tzu, the patriarch of Taoism, came here to retreat and cultivate, making it the "source of the Tao" and the "ancestral garden".
The car stopped at the bottom of the mountain, and the group meandered up the mountain road, Liang Yu glanced at Lu Linlang in front, she changed her style today, a khaki trench coat with a black turtleneck, and a pair of jeans with Adi's new sneakers of the season.
The little face without powder is expressionless, not as hot and eye-catching as when I first saw it, but a little more quiet and beautiful.
After walking for about an hour, a few people saw a Taoist temple not far away, and only when they got closer did they see that there were three big characters on the plaque "Qingxinguan", and the strokes were vigorous and powerful, and they were majestic and natural.
A group of six people and four bodyguards guarded the gate, and Lu Linlang approached the gate with Liang Yu.
"Pure view?" Liang Yu looked around, didn't even see a bird, and laughed in a low voice, "It's really clean!" ”
"Don't talk about it, just follow the rules and apprentice after you go in for a while." Lu Linlang stood under the plaque with a serious expression.
Liang Yu disagreed, pouted, "There are so many rules!" ”
Seeing Lu Linlang turn around and enter the door, Liang Yu also walked in leisurely.
I thought it was just a simple and pure Taoist temple, but the more I walked inside, the more I found that something was wrong.
Passing through the arched door, there is a different scene inside, with a sparkling pool of living water in the center of the courtyard, surrounded by unknown plants and full of greenery.
The pavilions are winding and the eaves are high, and through the winding wooden corridors, Lu Linlang stops in front of a small dilapidated house at the end.
In fact, this room is okay, the reason why it is called a small dilapidated house is because it is out of place with everything around it, like a white shirt with no style or any recognition suddenly appeared in the gorgeous cloakroom.
"Master Qiqi, the people have already brought." Lu Linlang bowed respectfully towards the wooden door, as if he respected the people inside the door.
"Alright, you go down first." After a long time, there was a deep sound in the room.
Lu Linlang glanced at Liang Yu deeply, and then slowly disappeared at the gate of the courtyard.
Liang Yu smiled and signaled, and when he saw that the person had left, he put it away and stared at the wooden door in front of him with a solemn face.
Originally, he was skeptical of the person he was going to see today, but just as he passed by the living water, he saw a long-lost plant. Only my grandfather knew how to cultivate that kind of plant, so it is conceivable that the people in the wooden house must have seen my grandfather.
Thinking of this, Liang Yu tried his best to restrain the excitement in his heart and quietly waited for the reaction of the people in the house.
"You must have a lot of questions for me, so stay and follow me, and I'll tell you everything I know."
The door creaked open, and a tall, thin old man dressed as a Taoist priest with a gray beard slowly walked out.
Liang Yu stared at the serious old man in front of him tightly, and said calmly: "I can't stay, I still have to look for my grandfather." ”
"Two years, just two years. After two years you'll be free, and you'll be free to go wherever you want. The old man tapped Liang Yu's forehead and said coldly: "Could it be that you don't cultivate the Xuanmen and want to take the ghost path?" ”
Hearing this, Liang Yu's heart is bad, and now he is being seen! He's not going to be physically eliminated, is he?
Liang Yu secretly observed the old man's expression, and when he saw that the other party was gone, he was probably not prepared to embarrass himself, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Thinking about his situation, he agreed to this request. Isn't it just apprenticeship? Can't he worship?
Liang Yu fluttered and knelt on the ground, and his words were extremely sincere, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" After speaking, he deducted three heads.
The old man didn't seem to expect this kid to be so happy, and he actually apprenticed on the spot. He said a little unnaturally: "Get up, this is considered to be a worship to the teacher, come in and serve a cup of tea." ”
Liang Yu got up, patted the soil on his body, and followed the old man into the house.
As soon as I entered the roof beam, I saw the bronze ruler hanging on the bed in the inner room, and I wondered: How is this exactly the same as my own?
Seeing that he was distracted, the old man coughed, "Pour tea!" ”
After Liang Yu came back to his senses, he immediately took the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea, and respectfully served it with both hands, "Master, please use tea!" ”
The old man glanced at Liang Yu's legs, only to hear a miserable scream, and Liang Yu knelt down with a puff.
"Remember, boy, when you enter my door, you have to follow the rules." The old man took the teacup that was almost spilled, took a sip, and smiled slightly, "If you worship me as a teacher today, then I have the right to discipline you." ”
Liang Yu rubbed his knees and stood up, although he was dissatisfied, he didn't have a seizure, he just said, "The disciple doesn't know what he did wrong?" ”
"How can there be a reason for a disciple to stand while serving tea?" The old man put down the teacup and said lightly: "Let me introduce myself, I am the master of this view and your master." You have lived in this view for the past two years, and the rules will be handed over to you. With that, he got up and went out.
Liang Yu hurriedly followed and asked, "Master, can you tell me about my grandfather?" ”
Seeing that Liang Yu was so eager, the old man shook his head, "Young man, I'm impatient. You go and follow your senior sister to learn the basics of Xuanmen! With that, he turned and left.
"Stinky old man, you come back for me!" Liang Yu finally couldn't help it, this stinky old man was clearly playing tricks on him!
"Liang Yu, if you dare to speak out, you will be dealt with according to the door rules!" I don't know when Lu Linlang stood in front of him and said coldly, "If you worship the teacher, you must abide by the door rules." ”
"Miss Lu, can you not be so appetizing? Even if you tell me everything, I'll keep my promise and stay here for two years. Can you tell me if my grandfather is okay? ”
Liang Yu was very angry, and a feeling of being toyed with spontaneously arose, and at this moment, he needed to vent.
Seeing that he finished venting, Lu Linlang said softly: "I don't know, I should still be alive." Let's go. ”
Liang Yu only felt powerless, and now he was too weak to be used as a marionette to complete the requirements.
