Luo Zheng followed behind Li Laodao all the way, exhaling from time to time, tired like a dead dog, and finally arrived outside the Ginkgo Palace. At this moment, seeing that everyone had stopped, the Dao Lord and the peak masters stood in the front and waited outside the hall. Because there is a new gift today, the Lord of the Tao also needs to enter the temple with the rest of the peak masters, and cannot enter the temple in advance.

Not long after, there was a singer wearing a red robe next to the door of the hall, and he sang loudly: "Please enter the hall of the Taoist master of Xuancang Dao and the master of Wufeng Peak, and bow to the patriarch" I saw the Taoist master laughing, waving his big sleeves, and immediately carrying his hands first. The masters of the peaks behind them were half a position behind, and they also entered the temple together.

"When ......"

At this time, a bell rang, and I only heard someone singing loudly, "All the disciples enter the hall and stand in two ways, and the disciples who have not entered the hall are waiting outside the hall for ......."

The disciples who were waiting outside the hall rushed in and entered the main hall. Only Luo Zheng was left alone and waited outside the hall, he could not enter the temple at the moment, and he needed to wait until the auspicious time came, so that he could enter the ginkgo hall in the congratulatory voice of the singer and worship the master to serve tea. Then worship the Taoist Lord and the Peak Lord, obtain the identity token, and then return to the peak.

Actually, accepting a disciple shouldn't have been so grand. Usually, three or four generations of disciples are in this peak, and they can get started with the nod of the peak master. He is a little special, firstly, because of the personal inheritance of the peak master, and secondly, because there are few people in Sanyang Peak.

There are hundreds of other five peaks, and there are dozens of less. They are good, he and Li Laodao plus the senior brother who has never met, there are only three people in total. Even if you count the puppet Dao Tong refined by Ginkgo, there are only four of them. Therefore, the Taoist master will let Li Laodao accept apprentices in Canglang Peak, not seeking greatness, but seeking joy. In order to celebrate Sanyang's new people.

I don't know how long I waited, before another bell rang. Then the singer sang, "Noon has come, and the sun is shining." Sanyang Peak Gate people robbed, enter the palace gate~"

Luo Zheng came back to his senses, tidied up his clothes, and strode into the main hall with his head held high.

As soon as he entered the temple gate, he heard and spoke, so he had to bend down and bow his head, and nervously take seven steps forward.

"When entering the temple gate, step seven feet, you must bend down and bow your head, and your heart has no distracting thoughts. ”

Before he could think about it, he listened again: "The patriarch of this sect has a teaching: Enlightenment seeks freedom, and there is no evil in the heart; the immortal path is vigorous, and good thoughts are always in the heart; everything must not be forced, and everything is contaminated with cause and effect; Sendai is clear and pure into the right path; how can there be mundane things that disturb the mortal dust." ”

"Enter my Xuancang Dao! First, you must not have an improper heart, second, you must not deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, and third, you must not be evildoer...... 16. Do not falsify cause and effect. These sixteen precepts must be kept in mind!"

The disciples replied, "Good."

"Please worship the patriarch 'Spirit Worm Daoist'. ”

When everyone heard this, they all bowed down and bowed their heads to pay homage to the patriarch. Luo Zheng's expression was grim, and he hurriedly followed.

After the worship, Luo Zheng looked over and saw a stone statue on the wall above. The stone statue holds a dust on the left, a branch on the right, a crown on its head, a long beard on its face, sits with its eyes closed, and looks at it from a distance, looking like a fairy wind and bones.

And there is a person sitting below, with broad shoulders and thick legs, tall figure, tendons and flesh, and a beard on his face, not like a cultivator, but like a general who fights on the battlefield in the mortal world, it is Lin Tong, the master of Xuancang Dao!

Luo Zai stood in the middle of the field, at a loss, not knowing what to do next. The singer's voice sounded again: "All the disciples have returned to their positions, and the disciple apprenticeship ceremony has officially begun." The new disciples entered the master's body, and the disciples all returned to their original positions, standing behind the peak master, leaving Luo Zheng alone in the field.

Luo Zai scratched his head, turned around and walked to Li Laodao.

"First, be well-dressed. Hold on to righteousness and don't go astray. ”

Li Laodao raised his head and glanced at Luo Zheng with relief and smiled. Reaching out and gently patting him on his robe.

"Second, make a big salute. Those who cultivate the Tao must observe the etiquette, enter the teacher's door, and must not deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors. ”

Hearing this, Luo Zheng quickly knelt down and kowtowed three times to the master.

Again and again: "Third, the heart is pure and the hands are clean, and the heart is clear." I wish the road of cultivation success and the road of success. ”

A boy came with a copper basin with water and a willow branch. Li Laodao immediately stretched out his hand to take out the tree branch, the branch was filled with water, and gently threw it out, the water splashed in all directions, splashing on Luo Zheng's body, and he felt much sober.

"4. Worship the Lord"

When Luo Zheng heard this, he hurriedly turned around and bowed to the forest channel master.

"Fifth, the Tao card. Rite ......"

I saw the tall Taoist master laughing, stood up, took out a long road sign, handed it to Luo Zai, and then patted Luo Zai's shoulder, haha laughed: "Your name is Luo Zai, right? Your master is very close to your baby, you can come to me for anything in the future, I will cover you." ”

Luo Zai was speechless: "How can this Dao master be like an oil son of mixed society?" but he didn't dare to reply, nodded slowly, and then looked at the token in his hand, but saw that the material of the Dao card was like gold and not gold, copper and not copper, and there was a blue character engraved on it, which was vigorous and powerful, not like a mortal handwriting.

"When"

At this moment, the bell rang again. This apprenticeship is considered to be the end of the ceremony.

Before Luo Zheng could think about it, he saw that the master was waving to him with a smile, and said softly: "Apprentice, you cut here." ”

Luo Zheng stepped forward according to his words.

"Although you are cultivating, but you have not yet drawn qi into the body, you can't control the clouds, you can't resist the sword, I can't give you anything, if you can really step into the qi realm, I will give you my fairy sword Qinghong sword. Therefore, you need to cultivate the Tao well, get rid of the black mist in your body as soon as possible, and return your body to a leisurely life, and it will not be in vain for you and me to be a master and apprentice. Now you and I go to meet the peak masters, they are all your uncles and uncles, and you know how to call them when you see them in the future......" Li Laodao said, got up and walked over to the peak masters. Luo Zheng hurriedly followed.

The master and apprentice walked towards one person first, and it was the Xuancang Dao Master. Li Laodao said with a smile: "This is your Uncle Lin Tong, the master of this Canglang Lord, and the master of Xuancang Dao. If you come to see him, you can also call him Uncle in the future. ”

Lin Tong laughed and said heartily: "Senior brother has been cultivating for a hundred years, and it is already the realm of refining the Void and Combining the Dao, I thought that you only accepted Chen Zifeng alone, if you don't become an immortal, you will no longer accept apprentices, but I didn't expect that now Sanyang Peak has added a new disciple, which is gratifying." ”

"Fortunately, the Taoist Lord has fulfilled it and formed a good relationship with my disciple. Lao Dao said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a person next to him say: "Senior brother rarely accepts an apprentice, how can the Taoist master be embarrassed to stop him?" I saw this person wearing a Confucian scarf on his head, holding a scroll, walking slowly, with an elegant and polite temperament, like a mortal scholar. He approached and said with a smile: "In the future, Sanyang Peak will no longer be deserted, only the scenery can be appreciated, but no one is popular."

Luo Zai hurriedly bowed down again and saluted again, calling him "Uncle Shi". The man turned his head and nodded slightly at him, and Li Laodao hurriedly introduced him with a smile: "This is Zhao Mingfeng, the peak master of Xianhe Peak, who likes calligraphy and painting the most on weekdays, and you can learn more from him in the future......

After the introduction, he turned to Zhao Mingfeng and said, "Senior brother, my little apprentice is getting started, and you can take care of it more in the future. ”

It's just that in the sixteen years that the senior brother has been down the mountain, and in the red dust, the realm has increased a lot, which really makes the senior brother embarrassed. ”

Li Laodao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Senior brother has never fallen, the true yuan in the body is like the vast ocean, very deep!"

"Here it is again, although I have entered the Void Harmony Dao, I am far worse than you, senior brother. However, of course, my cultivation experience is not as good as that of a few senior brothers, but I know a little bit about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and if my nephew has time, he can come and communicate with me. ”

"Haha, you......"

Subsequently, Li Laodao took Luo Zheng to meet Qian Dao, the peak master of Zangrong Peak, and Deng Chuanqiong, the peak master of Yunrong Peak, as well as He Rudao, the eldest disciple of Lin Daoren. However, that Xiao Yunfeng Peak advocated that the Qing Dynasty had reached the realm of the late stage of refining the Void Combination Dao, and entered the Earth Immortal Realm to survive the tribulation and did not return. It was in order to go and meet Li Qingxi, the senior sister of Xiaoyunfeng.

Everyone talked and laughed, and discussed Taoism from time to time. The Taoist mysteries were obscure, where could Luo Zheng understand, standing aside and drowsy, seeing that they were chatting happily, he didn't dare to speak. It's just that when I left, it was already dusk, and I didn't return to the peak.

As soon as Luo Zai returned to Sanyang Peak, he hurriedly rushed into the hall, took out a dried rabbit, spices, and corn, lit a fire, and made dinner outside the hall. In the morning, he went to Canglang Peak with his master to ride the clouds, and at this moment it was already unitary, and at the end of the day, there was not a drop of water. And that, there is only a formal ceremony in the Ginkgo Palace, and there is no banquet, robbing the flesh and mortals, and not eating three meals, how can they stand it?

He cooked porridge in an iron pot and made a fire to roast rabbits. After the half-pillar incense, it is already full of aroma, and the rabbit meat flows oil.

He rubbed his hands together and was about to eat. But there was a crackling sound in the hall, and then there was a wild laughter: "Who cooks food and leads me out of the customs? Doesn't this seduce Daoye's glutton......y?

I saw a partial hall in the hall, and I don't know when the ban was opened, and a person rushed out of it, with a cloak and ragged clothes. When he came to Luo Zheng, he didn't say hello, grabbed the rabbit and gnawed it. I was a little anxious to eat, I choked and rolled my eyes, quickly hammered my chest, squinted my eyes, saw that there was still rice porridge, and poured rice porridge into my mouth with one hand, but the rice porridge was just cooked, and the hot rice porridge squirted out, and then threw the crockpot, and kept sighing in my mouth, and I was very embarrassed.

Luo Zheng was stunned and didn't know what to do, and when he reacted, the rabbit had already been gnawed to only the bones, and the rice porridge was also overturned to the ground, a mess.

The person who came seemed to notice Luo Zheng who was sitting on the side, his face was slightly red, and he hurriedly pretended to be serious, turned around and waved his sleeves, put his hands behind his back and said: "You are my new disciple Luo Zheng of Sanyang Peak?

"It's Luo Zheng down there, I don't know what to call my senior brother?" Luo Zheng saw that although this person was ragged and had a cloak, he was very temperamental. Immediately make a reply.

"I'm Chen Zifeng, you can call me Senior Brother Zifeng. The master has been cultivating for many years, and only accepts you and me as two apprentices, you and I should support each other, but there is no need to be formal with me. After speaking, the Taoist waved his hand, and replied: "I was originally a cultivator, and I have already opened the valley, but I don't prevent anyone from cooking, and the aroma is strong, and it wafts into my place of sitting.

As a result, the advancement was just completed, and the achievement of refining the gods returned to the void, and I was trying to cultivate my spirits, but I didn't have enough kung fu to settle down, I couldn't calm down, and I smelled the fragrance, so I simply came out to take a look. I haven't eaten meat for a long time, and I can't bear it for a while, and I eat up your dinner, you won't blame me, right?" said that, he quickly added, "But since it has happened, let's take it as a gift from you to me." The junior brother and brother have all given a greeting gift, as a senior brother, I can't say anything if I don't return the salute to you." After that, he took out a paper crane from his arms, "This is a spirit paper crane, you have just entered the door, and you have not yet drawn qi into your body, you can't step on the wind, you can't drive the clouds, and there are many inconveniences." This crane can be thirty feet in size, although it is a little slower, but it is enough to walk with you. He stuffed the paper crane into Luo Zheng's hand, said goodbye, and then fled back to the cave. Leaving a sluggish Luo Zheng, speechless.

After a long time, he came back to his senses, looked at the mess on the ground, and then touched his empty belly, crying and laughing, how to eat a meal was full of twists and turns. And since I was a child, how have I ever seen such a chattering person? I couldn't say anything at all, so I had to shake my head, clean up, and make a fire to cook again.

Early in the morning of the second day, I heard the Taoist boy shouting outside the cave: "Senior brother, the master calls you"

He hurriedly washed and changed his clothes, changed into a robe, and waited outside the old Taoist hall.

After a short time, Dao Tong came out of the side hall and led Luo Zheng into the side hall of Li Lao Dao with an expressionless face. The inside of the temple is very simple, like a thatched hut at the bottom of the mountain. Except for a wooden bed, there were only a few miscellaneous items left.

Entering the main hall, I saw Li Laodao sitting on the top, and a disciple standing next to him, and the two were chatting softly. When that person looks up, who is Senior Brother Zifeng last night! Look at that Chen Zifeng today, wearing a crown of hair and a blue robe, with a graceful demeanor and a fairy style. It's like last night, with his hair scattered and his clothes ragged, like a beggar.

Chen Zifeng looked up and saw that it was Luo Zheng, smiled, and winked at him. Luo Zai was in front of the master, and it was not easy to reply to him, so he hurriedly bent down and bowed his head to greet the master.

When Li Laodao saw Luo Zheng, he grinned, and then said with a smile: "Luo Zheng'er, since you have entered my Sanyang Peak, you can start cultivating. I now have a volume of the Tao Sutra, which is the root of my Xuancang Ask Immortals, and you can take it to cultivate. This sutra needs to be memorized, if you don't understand something, you can ask me, remember not to pass it on. In addition, I have practiced 100 Dawn Pills, you can take one each on the fifteenth day of each month and at the end of the month, which can be guaranteed for three years, and the black mist will not flow to the whole body. With that, he took a copy of the Taoist scriptures and a wooden box and handed them to Luo Zheng. Then he pointed to Chen Zifeng and said: "This is your senior brother Chen Zifeng, who has entered the practice of God and Void, and entered the cultivation path in the cave before, and when he is out of the customs today, if you don't understand something, you can also ask him for advice." ”

"Meet the senior brother," Luo Zai hurriedly bowed.

"You and I have already met, and we need no courtesy. The master of Sanyang Peak is just you and me, and I need a lot of support in the future. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me for advice, and my brother will definitely know everything. Chen Zifeng replied with a serious salute, and then said with a smile.

"Now that we have met, Zifeng, you need to take care of your junior brother in the future. After that, he took out a cloth bag from his arms, handed it to Luo Zai, and said: "This bag is called Qiankun Bag, which contains Qiankun, which has the effect of Sumeru mustard seeds, I know that you have no true yuan, and there are many things since you went up the mountain, just to pack some things for you." This bag is very difficult to refine because of the method of containing space, I asked the Taoist to get it, for your convenience, remember to keep it well, do not lose it. If you're all right, step down......"
