Chapter Twenty-Eight: Apprenticeship
Bai Zeqing is delighted, this is the official apprenticeship! It's not that I'm screaming and playing!
"Yes, Master!"
She immediately responded, then went to the desk to find a pen and paper to write down the Geng post neatly, then made new tea, knelt in front of the Taoist priest uprightly, raised the tea cup above her head, and said loudly: "Disciple Bai Zeqing, bow to the teacher!" I beg your teacher to preach and teach and dispel doubts! ”
She didn't know how to apprentice, but the master still worshipped, and she felt that the truth should be similar.
The corner of the Taoist priest's mouth twitched, tapped the neatly placed Geng post on the table, took the teacup, took a sip, put it down, picked up the Geng post again, got up and patted Bai Zeqing's shoulder, and said, "Come with me." And he went out.
Bai Zeqing hurriedly got up, walked all the way up the steps, walked for two hours, and walked to the clear ground at the top of the mountain.
At this time, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, and the Taoist priest looked at the sky and said to Bai Zeqing: "Kneel down." ”
Bai Zeqing's feet were soft when he climbed the mountain, and he couldn't say anything at this time, so he knelt down in response, holding his hands on the ground and panting.
"Kneel!"
Bai Zeqing hurriedly stood up and knelt upright.
The Taoist priest waved the Geng post in his hand, volleyed it a little, and the Geng post burned.
"Wow!" Bai Zeqing secretly praised in his heart: "This is much more powerful than the showmanship in the city." ”
The Taoist priest clasped his hands together, made a seal, and said to the night sky: "Disciple Li, choose Bai Zeqing as the thirty-seventh generation single disciple of Xuandao Sect." Heaven and earth are a mirror! ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a thunderclap on the ground. Bai Zeqing was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. Thinking of the scene of lightning and thunder in the Broken Dao Temple, he secretly said "routine operation" in his heart, and took a deep breath to calm his beating heart.
The Taoist priest only said to her lightly: "Bye! ”
Bai Zeqing gathered his mind, faced the bright moon of heaven and earth, and honestly carried out three bows and nine bows.
The Taoist priest said, "Get up." ”
When Bai Zeqing stood firm, the Taoist priest's index finger lightly touched her forehead.
The slightly cool touch made Bai Zeqing stunned, but this time it was not as fleeting as the touch when she opened her eyes, but stayed in her forehead.
Taoist priest Zhengse said: "I will give you the mountain doctor star divination, but the technique is an external force, and the heart is the foundation." I hope that from today onwards, you will remember that you are a disciple of the Xuandao Sect, and you need to focus on the continuity of the world. ”
Bai Zeqing didn't understand everything, but her heart was heavy, and she said seriously: "Disciple follow the master's teachings. With ......" she frowned slightly and paused, she couldn't understand that sentence now, she might not be able to do it, but she could do it a little, so she said: "Only Master's order is obeyed." ”
The Taoist priest didn't bother to correct her, and his fingertips pressed slightly.
In the next second, Bai Zeqing felt a warm current enter from the center of his eyebrows, flowing to his limbs. She only felt that the sourness and discomfort all over her body had disappeared, and she felt full of strength for a while, as if she could run a few more mountains without feeling tired.
She remembered what was written in the notebook and asked, "Master, Master, have I washed the essence and cut the marrow?" Did I become a top player overnight? ”
The corners of the Taoist priest's mouth seemed to twitch, and the eyes of the fool drifted over again: How could you accept this goods as a disciple, Master Zu won't kill me, right? Is it too late to return the item?
Bai Zeqing was already very familiar with the Taoist priest's expression, and immediately said with great awareness: "Master, I will read less scripts and cultivate hard." ”
The Taoist priest nodded and said, "It's just to open up the sea of qi, so that you can perceive the aura and facilitate visualization." ”
Nimbus? Bai Zeqing hurriedly closed his eyes and sensed the Zhou Dynasty, and it was no different. What is visualization and how do you settle down?
"Master, I didn't perceive the aura, didn't I, I haven't gotten through it yet, or why don't you get through it again?" As he spoke, he pressed his forehead against his fingers.
"There is no reason to ascend to heaven in one step, and cultivation is even more so, it all depends on yourself."
The Taoist priest withdrew his hand in disgust, wiped it on his robe again, and then said, "Go back." Don't you know how to draw thangkas? ”
Bai Zeqing was taken aback: "Why, Master, don't you teach me puppet spirit arts?" Shouldn't we be meditating cross-legged here now, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, visualizing, or breaking through the realm or something? ”
What about reading less scripts? Forget it, you can't wash it out of your brain if you've already watched it.
The Taoist priest didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he walked down the mountain first, and said as a matter of course: "Draw thangka and make money." First. ”
Bai Zeqing caught up again, only to feel that her steps were much lighter, she was happy in her heart, and couldn't help asking: "Master, Master, can we go with the sword?" Oh, there is no sword, go back and earn money to fight well! So, fly back? Or like you came back, teleport? Master......"
The Taoist priest rolled his eyes, looked at the sky and secretly regretted: Master Zu, I seem, I was really wrong.
Sure enough, not accepting disciples was the right choice. Pity......
The Taoist priest closed his ears and quickened his pace.
……
Early in the morning of the second day, the little novice who had come to the morning class ran up the steps, turned the flower garden, and saw in the courtyard outside the layman's house, in the first rays of the morning sunshine, one tall and one short.
One is half-squatting in front of the easel in front of the flower garden, the other is sitting at the round stone table in the courtyard, one is concentrating on painting, and the other is concentrating on carving stones.
Xiao Shami stood on the steps dumbfounded, and said the sentence "Donor, it's time for morning exercise." "I couldn't shout anything.
He was stunned when he saw that the Taoist priest had just finished carving a formation stone, put down the carving knife, and looked up.
Xiao Shami's heart was shocked, and he immediately stood up straight and shouted, "Amitabha." Frightened, Bai Zeqing's pen was messed up, and the line stopped in place.
Bai Zeqing hurriedly put away her pen and looked at it carefully, fortunately, what she is using now is the leaf hook method (1), and the place where she pauses the pen happens to be in the middle of the leaf circumference line, but it is not that she can't be remedied, and she can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It took her a night to draw the line before she basically finished the line, and if it was ruined, she would immediately explode on the spot.
She put down the little wolf stained with flowers, rubbed her wrists, looked at Xiao Shami with some blame and some grievances, and said, "Little Master, what are you shouting?" Scared me. ”
She remembered the meaning of the little novice, and hurriedly said to the Taoist priest, "Master, won't I go to the morning exercise today?" Sleepless night! ”
The Taoist priest turned to look at her and said, "Go early and come back early." With your current energy, you can complete the coloring without sleep for three days. ”
Bai Zeqing: "??? "Three days without sleep? Is she alive or not?
The Taoist priest saw through her thoughts at a glance and said, "Don't worry." Can't die. Do you feel tired after a day of sleep? ”
Not really.
Is it because of the little point on the forehead after the apprenticeship last night?
But......
I always feel that something is wrong.
The Taoist priest added nonchalantly: "And I won't be hungry, and the time to eat will be saved." ”
Bai Zeqing looked at the Taoist priest's light and breezy eyes without any mood fluctuations, and her heart was slightly cold: So before this thangka is completed, she wants to stay awake, eat or drink? And also have morning exercises, evening classes?
She felt a little loveless for a while.
