Chapter 14: Apprenticeship
The top of Qianyun Mountain, the main hall
This main hall looks small, and naturally it is not as prosperous as the palace in the palace, and most of the materials are simple, but it gives people an inexplicable magnificent momentum!
Listening to what Lin Lan said on the road, this is the place where their master preaches on weekdays, and it is also the master's dormitory.
A few people walked up the steps paved with black rocks and entered the main hall.
As soon as he stepped in, Li Ping'an suddenly felt as if there was a heroic aura coming towards him. The ceiling of this hall is pure white, and the feet are pure black, and they are in it, as if they are in the Taoist yin and yang fish.
The road is different, and in the end, the Taoists of this world also pay attention to the Tai Chi two rituals, and the four elephants gossip.
So, the master of this hall, the master in their mouth, is actually a Taoist master?
Thinking like this, Li Ping'an looked forward, this hall was already simple, and he saw the end at a glance. On the main seat, there was a middle-aged man with a deep face, dressed in a black and white robe, who looked no more than forty years old?
And before Li Ping'an could express his doubts, the middle-aged man was like a ghost, and he came to several people in the blink of an eye.
"Coming back?" The middle-aged man smiled at Li Yi and nodded.
That kind of attitude is like treating a junior who has been away from home for many years. However, is there a reversal of the ages between the two men?
Li Ping'an was still puzzled here, who knew that his grandfather beside him knelt down with a "poof".
"The unscrupulous disciple Li Yi visited the master, he has not served by the master's side for many years, and he is still worried about the master, saving my grandson's life, the disciple is really ashamed!" Saying this, Li Yi's face was already full of old tears.
I haven't seen him for many years, the master is still the master, but he is no longer the high-spirited Li Yi he was back then, and when he thinks of the experience over the years, he has a lot of emotion in his heart, and he is indeed a little embarrassed for a while.
And Li Ping'an on the side was obviously stunned for a moment, Master? This man is what they call the Master? That old fairy? If he was really older than his grandfather, with his current appearance, he was indeed enough to be called an old immortal.
But at this moment, although he was full of doubts in his heart, his grandfather knelt down, so he naturally knelt down immediately, and said crisply: "Li Ping'an, thank the head of the aisle for saving his life!" ”
"Oh? Dao Chief? What did you tell him? The middle-aged man first glanced at Li Ping'an with a smile, then looked at Li Yi and asked with a smile.
Seeing Li Yi shaking his head, he continued: "Okay, you should get up first." You are here today because I asked you to do so. And since I asked you to bring him here, it is natural that you should protect him thoroughly, so why thank you? And you are also so old, don't kneel on the ground at every turn, Emperor Qi today can't deserve such a big gift from you, you treat me like this, but I can't resist it. The middle-aged man laughed and helped Li Yi up.
"Master, don't say that, it really torments me! One day as a teacher and a father for life, Master will always be my Master. Li Yi hurriedly said.
The middle-aged man chuckled and nodded, then glanced at Li Ping'an, who was about to get up, but reached out and held him down.
"Hehe, Li Ping'an, right? Don't be in a hurry to get up first, although you didn't know my existence before, there is actually a cause and effect between you and me. And since you bow down to me today, then I simply take the opportunity to ask you, are you willing to worship me as a teacher? ”
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the other two people present immediately looked at Li Ping'an with bated breath, but no one reminded him.
Li Ping'an was suddenly held down by him, and he was stunned, when he suddenly heard such a question, his brain was even more clouded, what does this mean? Let's not talk about the cause and effect, isn't he his grandfather's master? If you accept yourself as an apprentice again, won't you have to call your grandfather and brother when the time comes? Thinking about that scene, Li Ping'an couldn't help but feel a little bigger, is this generation a little too messy?
However, although I don't understand the cause and effect of what he said, since my grandfather brought him here today, he must have this meaning. And having such a mysterious master doesn't seem to be a bad thing for me.
After thinking about it quickly in Li Ping'an's mind, he looked at him and nodded, and said, "Li Ping'an is willing to worship the Taoist as a teacher!" ”
And since you have apprenticed, there must be a form that should naturally exist. So after speaking, he kowtowed and bowed, and deducted three rings from the cheap master in front of him.
"Haha! Good! What a clever child! Get up, from today onwards, you will be the last disciple of my Heavenly Daozi! Tian Daozi laughed heartily as he pulled Li Ping'an up from the ground.
"Congratulations to Master for winning the disciple!" Seeing this, Lin Lan immediately said with a smile.
And Li Yi on the side also had a happy smile on his face, his grandson can be recognized by the master, which is naturally a happy thing.
"Now that you have worshipped me as a teacher, I have a question I want to ask you first." Tiandaozi said with a smile after pulling him up.
"Master, may I ask." Li Ping'an said honestly.
"Hehe, you've called me the Taoist since you entered the door, so I want to ask you, how do you know that I'm a member of the Taoist family?" Tian Daozi asked.
"Hehe, actually, I guessed too. The sky is white and the ground is black in this hall, but the clothes on your body, Master, are black on the top and white on the bottom. The black and white, reflecting yin and yang, yin and yang, are derived from the changes of heaven and earth, and are quite related to the Taoist Taiji two instruments and four elephant gossip. Therefore, I guessed that the scene in this hall was deliberately made by the master in order to imitate the Taoist Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram, so I naturally guessed that the master should be a Taoist heirloom. Li Ping'an replied with a smile.
As soon as he finished saying this, Tian Daozi's eyes suddenly flashed with a fine light, and his face was full of joy, and he seemed to be quite satisfied with him.
And the two people on the side were even more eyeballs, everything in this hall... Does it still have such a meaning? After all these years, they never noticed? Li Yi and Lin Lan glanced at each other, they both looked at each other, and suddenly there was a feeling in their hearts that they were like idiots.
Although Li Yi was shocked, after all, he already knew that his grandson was not simple, so he was not too surprised by his remarks. But Lin Lan is different, today is the first time he has seen Li Ping'an, where would he have thought that a child who is only six years old can have such meticulous observation and thinking in just a few moments, and can still talk about these truths? Isn't this kid a monster?
However, Lin Lan immediately thought about his master, an old immortal accepted a little monster, so he couldn't help but secretly think of it in his heart.
"You really have a relationship with my Taoist, no wonder I have made many divination calculations before, and the hexagrams are all pointing to you, it is really the will of heaven!" Tian Daozi sighed softly.
Then seeing Li Ping'an's face full of doubts, he immediately smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I know you must have a lot of doubts in your heart, come on, you can follow me into the inner hall, and the teacher will solve your doubts for you." ”
"As for the two of you, just step down first." Tian Daozi glanced at Li Yi and Lin Lan again, and said softly.
"Yes!" Several people nodded in response.
