"It's okay, it's okay," Liu Haichan smiled. "I just let him call it that. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Piao Ranzi looked at this patriarch, the appearance of a big child, so he called him by his name, and now hurriedly changed his words: "Patriarch Liu, I am dedicated to cultivating, please take it in." ”

"Hey, it's not that they don't take it in, firstly, the temple can't accommodate your great bodhisattva, and secondly, because of your yin ghost body, they don't have exercises to teach. Liu Haichan smiled.

"Why is that?" Piaoran was puzzled.

"It's a long story, you've been in Buddhism for a long time, haven't you been exposed to Buddhism?"

"Nope. I'm ashamed to say that I am in the Pure Land of Bliss, staring at the sun in a daze every day, and I haven't learned a little Buddhism. Piaoranzi said.

"Buddhism is the main practice of cultivating sexuality, which is different from my Taoism. Liu Hai Toad said. "For Buddhism, this body is a pair of skins, and it doesn't matter if you give it up. But our Immortal Sect is different, it relies on acquired cultivation. Let's just talk about human beings, after putting into the mortal womb, cultivating the three treasures of essence and spirit, refining the gods and returning the void, this body soars day by day, and proves immortals, and those with good qualifications and foundations can ascend to the heavenly immortal court. ”

"I did as the patriarch instructed. Piaoranzi said.

"You only have an innate yin god, this body is someone else's, just like your clothes, although you can take it away, you can't cultivate the yang god, and you can't become a golden immortal. ”

"I also cultivate like mortals, how can I not succeed?" Piao Ranzi still didn't understand.

"There are three hundred and sixty ways to cultivate immortals, and we, the Southern Immortal Sect, rely on the essence and spirit of the human body, cultivate the inner dan, and the yang god embraces, and the body is immortal. The soul of mortals, embraced by the qi of yin and yang, is attached to the mud pill palace of the body, and you, without a real body, the yin god is attached to the body of others, although it can command the limbs and hundreds of remains, but it cannot transport the essence and qi of the body to your yin god, so you can only be destined to be a ghost immortal. Liu Haichan patiently explained.

"Oh, in this way, that is to say, to cultivate immortals, you must use your true body, cultivate the yang god, go to the heavens and enter the earth, and become an immortal, and cultivate the yin god, you can only be a ghost immortal. Thinking about it, Zhang Tianshi once said it to him, but it was not as detailed as what Liu Haichan said.

"Actually, you ghost immortal, the magic is no longer below them. Liu Haichan pointed to the eleven masters, "You, Yin God, I don't know what essence you have absorbed, so dignified, if you learn Taoism again, you will become a veritable ghost immortal, and it is also very powerful." ”

"After my body was destroyed, my spirit drifted away, and the five-colored light and demon joined forces to destroy my incarnation, leaving only a trace of the Yin God, which was accepted by the Bodhisattva of the Great Trend, and met the Medicine Buddha, who gave me the ancient name of the eye bead, and after absorbing the essence, I could have the body of the Yin God. Piaoranzi said.

"I see. Liu Hai Toad said. "But we, the Southern Immortal Sect, can't do anything. If you are a mortal, this qualification and essence will not be a problem to cultivate into a heavenly immortal. ”

"In that case, I can't force people to make it difficult. Then I'll go back. Piao Ranzi was completely disappointed.

"Wait," Liu Hai Toad said. "Wait tomorrow to ask Qizhen to take a look, they may have a way. ”

The bangs and toads stayed together, and Piaoranzi had to agree. At noon, in the Taihe Palace, Dao Tong led everyone to see the three major halls of the atrium: the Lingguan Palace, the Jade Emperor Palace, and the Sanqing Palace. Du Guan talked about some etiquette again, and in the evening, Wan Jia Thirteen Lang asked about Piao Ranzi's morning.

"I met Patriarch Liu Haichan, let's talk casually. ”

"Are we going to apprentice tomorrow?" asked Sanwan.

"Yes, you've all been taken. Piao Ranzi smiled. "Our first batch of disciples, tomorrow we will hold an apprenticeship meeting and divide them into various factions, so you must cultivate diligently. ”

"Needless to say. Everyone laughed.

The know-it-all led Piao Ranzi out of the guest hall, came to a secluded place, and asked, "Eleven heads, didn't say to take you in, did they?"

"Nope. Piaoranzi knew that the know-it-all might have guessed. "However, there will be a real person arriving tomorrow, and the heads of the other five factions will also arrive, maybe let me apprentice too." ”

"We'll talk about it tomorrow. "Everything is in the way.

The two returned to the guest hall, did not say anything all night, and the next day on the fifth watch, the bell rang loudly. The morning bell and the dusk drum, this bell is to summon the Taoist priests to open the clear. In the Taihe Palace, all the Taoist priests got up when they heard the bell, neatly crowned and dressed, and the Taoists gathered in the ancestral hall to salute with incense. Then, he presided over the convening of the three capitals, five masters, and eighteen heads in the palace, each performing its own duties and working separately. Some cleaned the court, some went to prepare meals and tea, and they were very busy.

When the time came, all the Taoists came to the atrium. From the seven palaces of Taihe Mountain, such as Zixiao Palace, Nanyan Palace, Wulong Palace, Yuzhen Palace, Jingle Palace, Yuxu Palace, and Ying'en Gong, fifteen Taoist leaders came one after another, plus Zhixu Dao Chief, representing the sixteen factions of the Southern Sect, standing in front of the atrium, waiting for Liu Zu.

These sixteen factions are all major factions that have been inherited in an orderly manner for several generations by the Southern Immortal Sect. Together with the head, one by one is introduced as follows,

The head of the Xuanwu faction, the head of the Zhixu Dao, and the head of the Shaoyang faction, the head of the Xi channel.

The head of the five factions of Qingwei is the head of the Fuguang Dao, the head of the Zhenxing Dao, the Daoist of Yuanjue, the Daoist of Hejun, and the chief of the Rentian Dao. The head of the four factions of Zhengyi is the head of the Yuan Protector Dao, the Yongan Dao Chief, the Ben Xuan Dao Chief, and the Mingxin Dao Chief.

The head of the natural school has a long winding path,

The heads of the two factions of Sanfeng are long in keeping their aspirations and high in merit.

The head of the Xihe faction, Deguang Dao.

The head of the Penglai faction, Qingxuan Dao.

Among them, the Qingwei faction and the Zhengyi faction were both handed down by Zhang Tianshi, and they were divided into five factions and four factions.

The bell rang again, and from behind the palace came a white-haired old man, with a clear appearance and unkempt appearance. I saw sixteen Taoist chiefs, bowing down to greet each other: "Welcome Liu Zu coming"

"Hey, why is this old man also Liu Zu's Liu Hai Toad?" said Piao Ranzi in his heart. Thinking about it again, yes, this is the real body of Liu Haichan. I heard that Liu Cao Liu Haichan ascended to the first place at the age of fifteen, and when he was fifty years old, he was already a white-haired old man when he became a monk. That fat kid must be his incarnation.

Piao Ranzi thought it was good. Liu Haichan is not easy to use in front of the public, and he has changed back to his original appearance.

The crowd had bowed, and suddenly they heard the sound of the pipe, which came from the air. After a while, seven people continued to descend from the air, and Zhixu Daoist introduced them to everyone one by one: "Fellow Daoists, the Southern Seven True Patriarchs have descended, and I don't know a lot after learning, let me introduce them one by one." After Zhixu finished speaking, he introduced the names of the Taoists one by one.

The Southern Seven True Patriarchs are Shi Xinglin, Xue Daoguang, Chen Niwan, Bai Yuchan, Peng Lei, Liuyuanchang, and Wang Jinchan.

After the introduction of the Zhixu Daoist, let the Daoists stand in several rows, and there were sixteen head Daoists to choose, each of whom chose three or five.

In the blink of an eye, the first group of Taoist disciples who came up the mountain were all taken in by the sixteen sects, and in the end, only Piao Ranzi was left alone, and there was no demand.

"The head of the sixteen factions, you lead the disciples back, each of them goes back to the palace to view, and holds a great ceremony of shaving and worshipping the master. Liu Haichan commanded, and all the masters and Taoists left one after another.

"Young Master Chu, it seems that he is still blessed. "Everything is in the way. "Congratulations on being taken in as an apprentice by the Seven True Ancestors. ”

"Goodbye. Piao Ranzi smiled bitterly. And he said in his heart, These men may not be able to take me as a disciple
