Chapter 34: True Martial Arts
Xu Zhen glanced at Lin Jun lightly, then twisted his head away, and said to Chen Fan and Yajun: "Fa Sheng, Yajun, you two are very good, one is good at poetry, the other is good at singing, so that some people are ashamed of themselves, but the ruler is short, the inch is long, if you talk about martial arts, you two are not as good as me, if you talk about strategy, I am older than you two, two steps ahead, in fact, these are not important, the important thing is that a person can not be arrogant, Gu Ying self-pity, today I met the two of you, and it also made me see clearly that some people are arrogant on the surface, The true face of the fragility of the heart, if you two have something to do in the future, you can come to me Xu Zhen, thank you for your love today. After speaking, he arched his hand to the two, and did not wait for the two to reply, and then said to Lu Yan: "Dean, today is worth the trip, I am full of wine and food, I will leave first." ”
"Well, it's not too early, so let's stop for today." Lu Yan finally did not persuade everyone to drink again, but announced the end of the banquet, Lin Jun saw this, and did not continue to say anything, it is estimated that Xu Zhen's words are not easy to accept, if he does, won't he become the person in Xu Zhen's mouth. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and left one after another. Chen Fan was a little late, and after copying the poem, he also said goodbye to Lu Yan with Yajun, and joined Hou Feng and others who were waiting outside the pavilion for a long time, and returned to the inn. What Chen Fan didn't expect, the poems he left behind caused a gust of wind in Gusu, Jiankang, and even the entire Liang and Wei in the future, making his reputation a big victory.
The next morning, in the main hall of the Dongyue Hall of the True Martial Temple, there were seven people standing. Master Jia stood in the hall, and there were two other people with him, one of them was about twenty-five years old, with a dignified appearance, standing on the right hand of Master Jia, and the other, standing behind the two, was obviously a young Taoist. Standing in front of the mage was Chen Daotan, that is, Chen Fan's eldest brother, as well as Chen Fan, Huang Shi, and Xiao Qing.
Zhenwu Temple is located in the northwest of Gusu Guanqian Street, there are archway, Zhenwu Palace, Lingguan Palace, Wenchang Palace, Taoist House, School and other buildings, this Dongyue Palace, located in the northeast corner of Taoist Temple, is a residence of receiving people, there are five open halls inside, in addition to the main hall, there are two side halls on both sides. Yan Hai, Xiao Xiao Xiao and Xiao Xiao did not enter the main hall with Chen Fan and the others, but waited in the side hall with the apprenticeship ceremony, as for Yuying and Yajun, they had already resigned and returned to the Nanfeng Pavilion.
Today, Chen Fan and others came to the Taoist Temple to visit Master Jia and were led here by the Taoist Tong. At this time, several people met, and the eldest brother, Huang Shi and Xiao Qing said, "I've seen the mage." Chen Fan deliberately fell behind and said, "I've seen Master." Chen Fan understands that when he enters the Taoist Temple, he is no longer the young man in the Chen Mansion, but the disciple of Master Jia, the Taoist priest of the Taoist Temple, and from now on, he will integrate into the life of the Taoist Temple.
As Chen Fan, his current words and deeds are very important, if he wants to enter the Taoist temple and learn the Taoist scriptures, he has entered the investigation stage, and his words and deeds can affect others' evaluation of him, and he can't be careless at all.
"Dao Tan, Master Huang, you don't have to be polite, feel free to sit down." After this journey, Master Jia was also very familiar with everyone, and waved his hand to everyone very casually, and then said to Chen Fan: "Fa Sheng, I have come to see your Senior Brother Gu Ye, this is the first disciple to be accepted for the teacher. ”
"I've seen Senior Brother." Chen Fan saluted and said.
"Senior brother doesn't need to be polite, just call me senior brother." Gu Ye replied.
"I've seen Senior Brother." Chen Fan was as good as a stream, removed the big characters, and saw the gift again.
"Senior brother is polite." Gu Ye said with some embarrassment, "As for why the big characters were removed, you will know in the future." After thinking about it, Gu Ye added again.
Master Jia, who was standing next to him, glanced at Gu Ye with some hatred, but he didn't explain, but said, "Fa Sheng, Gu Ye, you can also sit." "Then sit down too.
Chen Fan looked at the eldest brother, and did not go to sit with the eldest brother, but sat down next to the senior brother Gu Ye to strengthen the emotional cultivation with the senior brother, and by the way, to express his closeness to the master. Although this is a trivial matter, in Chen Fan's view, it is important to stand on the right side on any occasion, since you have arrived at the Taoist temple, you must look at the problem from the perspective of the teacher. When Master Jia saw this, he nodded at Chen Fan in approval.
"Mage, where is Tietang? The day before yesterday, he left with the mage, and I don't know where he is now? Seeing that Tietang was not there, the eldest brother found a reason and opened the conversation box.
"Tietang is in the Taoist temple, learn some Taoist rules, and see if you can become a Taoist priest in the future." Master Jia explained, and then continued: "I have already reported to the Guan Sheng about the Fa Sheng yesterday, and today the Guan Shi will summon the relevant Dao Elders to meet the Fa Sheng, and the Fa Sheng should be mentally prepared. Master Jia said to Chen Fan.
"Yes, thank you, Master." Chen Fan stood up and saluted and said.
"Fa Sheng, you don't have to be polite, you have entered the Taoist temple, and you will call yourself the Taoist name in the future."
"Yes, Master."
"Also, when the Taoist in Guanzhong sees you today, you have to answer carefully, if you are asked what you think, if you want to stay in Guanzhong or go to the Taoist Academy, you can say it directly, everything depends on your chance." Master Jia admonished.
"Yes, Master, the disciple has admired the Taoist Temple for a long time, so naturally he wants to stay in the Taoist Temple, and if he has the opportunity to express himself to the Lord and the Taoist masters, it will not be in vain." Chen Fan replied respectfully.
Although Master Jia didn't let Chen Fan say his thoughts now, Chen Fan still said it immediately, clearly stating his intentions, so that the master could have a number in his heart, sometimes, it is one thing for the master to want to know or not, and it is another thing for you to say it or not. Especially on key issues, if the master asks Master Jia's opinion, whether the master knows it or not, how to answer it is completely different things, at least Master Jia has a number in his heart, and he will think of the words in advance, and he will not say, I just knew, everything is up to the master to decide. This is the sophistication of human feelings, and it is also the truth that Chen Fan realized in modern social work, only if you respect others, others will think about you.
At that moment, everyone chatted casually for a few more words, and a little Taoist boy walked in and said, "Master, the Lord is invited." ”
Master Jia smiled faintly and said, "Got it." Fa Sheng, you go with me, Dao Tan, Huang Shi, you and Gu Ye are walking around the temple, if you have any questions, just look for Gu Ye. ”
"Okay, thank you, Mage." The eldest brother replied.
The words were divided into two ends, the eldest brother and the others followed Gu Ye to visit the True Martial Arts Temple, and Chen Fan followed Master Jia to the meeting hall of the Taoist Temple.
The council hall, as the name suggests, is the place where everyone discusses things, usually the master of the temple convenes everyone to discuss matters here, and it is also located in the east corner of the Taoist temple, not far from the Dongyue Palace, Chen Fan followed Master Jia for a while.
At this moment, there is a Taoist priest about sixty years old sitting in the center of the council hall, with two long eyebrows, a pair of deep eyes, a wisp of beard, a fair complexion, although there are slight wrinkles on his forehead, but he looks full of energy, wearing a yellow Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, and the whole person is extraordinary. On each side of the Taoist priest sat four Taoist masters, all wearing zodiac robes, and there was no difference in clothing.
Daoist Jia saluted to the Taoist priest in the middle and said, "Lord, the little disciple has arrived." After speaking, he turned around and looked at Chen Fan. Chen Fan immediately bowed down, bowed to the center and the left and right sides, and said: "Under Chen Fasheng, the master has given the name Dao Xuan, and I have seen the Guan Lord and the Taoist masters. "Because Daoist Jia didn't introduce the identities of the Taoist priests on both sides to Chen Fan, Chen Fan didn't dare to call him a real person or an elder casually, so as not to cause dissatisfaction among the people who had no name, so he simply called the Taoist chief uniformly, which would not be wrong.
"Fa Sheng, your master showed me your "East Passing Water", which is indeed a good poem, do you have any other poems?" The viewer in the center asked.
"Looking back at the Lord, yesterday I went to the chess meeting of Lu Yan, the dean of the Chess Academy of Rosin Academy, and I made two songs during the banquet, one is called "Drinking", and the other is called "Persuading Alcohol and Quit Drinking", and the others are gone." Chen Fan replied respectfully.
"Oh, let's hear it."
Chen Fan immediately read those two poems.
After reading, there was a sudden silence in the room, and the viewer did not speak immediately, but carefully looked at Chen Fan for a while, and said: "Yes, yes, that song "East Passing Water" is already rare, but I didn't expect these two songs to be rare, especially "Persuading Alcohol and Quit Drinking", it seems that it has a relationship with my Taoism. ”
"Thank you." Chen Fan immediately saluted and said, in this era, it is Liduo.
The viewer in the center bowed his head slightly, and said, "Since your master has already given you the name of the Dao, you will call yourself the name of the Tao in the future." ”
"Thank you." Chen Fan was overjoyed and said. This is a good sign, indicating that at the very least, it has been partially approved by the Viewer.
"Dao Xuan, your master said that you played chess well, how many grades of chess strength have you realized now?" The viewer then asked.
"Looking back at the Lord, I have not participated in the chess evaluation, but yesterday Dean Lu of the Rosin Chess Academy gave me an evaluation of more than five grades, close to the fourth grade of chess strength." Chen Fan said 1510, at this time, neither exaggerate nor shrink, it is best to quote other people's evaluations.
"That's pretty good at your age. When you enter my Taoist temple, what do you think? ”
"Looking back at the Lord, when I arrived at the Shimen today, I saw that my Zhenwuguan Hall was magnificent, the statue was solemn, the archway hall was scattered, the gods were introverted, solemn and outward, and the Tao Xuan was eager to learn here, and I also hoped that the Lord and the Taoist would be perfect." As soon as Chen Fan heard the master ask what he thought, he immediately thought of the master's entrustment, what needs he had, and said it directly, so he said the purpose of wanting to stay in the Taoist temple to study.
"Oh, you're still young, you haven't studied in the Taoist Academy, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to keep up with your studies in the Taoist temple?"
"Fear, naturally, is afraid, but because of fear, I also want to learn more in Taoism." Chen Fan paused and continued: "I have a relatively weak foundation in the Tao Classic, and I am only familiar with the Tao Te Ching, and I am afraid that when I go to the Taoist Temple to study, I will not be able to keep up with the progress of my senior brothers. However, human life is like water flowing in the Yangtze River, gone forever, in the limited life, if you want to bloom a brilliant spark, the only way is to seize the day and work hard. There are many classics in the Taoist temple, as long as I am willing to work hard, it can just make up for the weakness of my foundation, and it can also spur me to continue to study, and I hope that the master, the master and all the Taoist masters will be perfect. After speaking, Chen Fan bowed solemnly again.
