Chapter Thirty-Eight

The three of them returned to the Dongyue Palace, and Master Jia and Hall Master Xu had just returned.

When the eldest brother saw Chen Fan, he said with a smile: "Our family law student also went to pay homage to Emperor Zhenwu, I don't know if I have received a gift?" ”

Chen Fan glanced at the eldest brother and said, "There are no gifts, and there are a lot of gains." ”

"Oh, what's the catch?" The eldest brother came to be interested.

"I look at the enshrined Zhenwu Emperor to eliminate the demon and defend the road, bless the world, record his great achievements on the wall, but it is not enough to describe one ten-thousandth of his life, this is the model of my generation, my generation should take the demon defense as their own responsibility. In the world of great contention, my generation should overcome thorns and thorns, work hard, and take the protection of the people in the world as their own responsibility, and cannot be alone. Chen Fan's mouth was like a river, and he tentatively said this truth.

Why do we say tentative, it is mainly the reflection of the temptation of Master Jia. Through contact, Chen Fan thought that Master Jia was a person who cared about the world and wanted to revitalize Taoism, so why Master Jia knew Yuying and Yajun had always been a mystery in Chen Fan's heart, and he wanted to figure it out. First of all, Chen Fan thinks that their understanding has nothing to do with Fengyue, mainly through observation, Master Jia is not that kind of person, so in Chen Fan's opinion, the biggest possibility is that they are a group, if they are a group, it is not just as simple as wanting to revitalize Taoism, but to revitalize the world, so when these words are said, I want to see Master Jia's recognition of these words, so as to better understand Master.

What I didn't expect was that the master hadn't opened his mouth yet, and the eldest brother hadn't opened his mouth either, and it was the hall master Xu who took the lead in answering, "Dao Xuan's understanding is too right, when it comes to the spirit of my True Martial Palace, Yuan Tong, you have to remember it in the future, this is the spirit of my True Martial Palace, if you encounter any difficulties in the future hall, you, as my personal disciple, can't lag behind others." ”

"Yes, Master." Xiao Qing looked at the somewhat excited Hall Master Xu, and replied a little helplessly.

Master Jia didn't think so much, he was naturally happy to see someone praising his apprentice, Chen Fan's words, in fact, also said to Master Jia's heart, and he was a little excited at the moment and said: "Dao Xuan said well, I think that today, wars are frequent, the Northern Wei Dynasty from time to time to attack my Chen State, the people are not living, I saw that Dao Xuan can carry forward the spirit of my Daomen, so I moved the idea of accepting disciples, today I heard Dao Xuan's words, and I feel that my decision was good." Master Jia flaunted himself a little proudly, and by the way, he glanced at Hall Master Xu, and estimated that the meaning in his eyes was that my apprentice was not bad.

Seeing that he casually made a joke, the eldest brother actually talked about the spirit of the True Martial Arts Temple, and there was a tendency to continue to pull it, it is estimated that Huang Shi and Xiao Qing next to him were a little anxious, and he answered at the moment: "Fa Sheng only came to the Taoist Temple, it seems that his consciousness has improved, yes, this is all due to the education of several Taoist masters." Now that Aqing is back, I don't know what the Lord said? ”

Huang Shi saw that someone finally asked the key question, and looked at the eldest brother with gratitude.

"Yes, let's talk about Yuantong first. Yuantong, with the efforts of me and your uncle, the Guan Master has agreed to teach you the upper and lower volumes of the Northern Zhenwu Xuanjing, and you are already an official disciple of my Taoist Temple, with the Taoist name Yuantong. It's not early today, so tomorrow you and I will go with you to meet the Lord and the Taoist masters. ”

"Thank you, Master, Uncle." Xiao Qing thanked Hall Master Xu and Master Jia.

Master Jia's face was a little bad, and he said, "You're welcome, this is also your chance." After speaking, he looked at Chen Fan, and the following words were not said after all, in fact, in the view of the master, Master Jia also won the opportunity for his apprentice to learn the next volume, but the master considered that Chen Fan had just entered meditation and had not yet cultivated the true yuan, and reading the next volume was not conducive to cultivation, so he vetoed it.

Master Jia didn't speak, and the hall master Xu next to him saw Master Jia's difficulty, and said: "Dao Xuan, your master also told the master about your meditation, you are different from Yuantong, the most important thing for you at the moment is to cultivate the true yuan, you can't be distracted, when you have the true yuan, it's not too late to cultivate the next volume." ”

"Yes, the disciple understands, how many hall masters and masters." No matter what, this master is still good, at least he will fight for himself, whether he can win it is one thing, and whether he can fight for it is another.

"I didn't expect that today not only the Fasheng worshiped into the Guiguan, Aqing also worshiped into the view, it was really a double happiness, and invited the four Taoist elders to appreciate the light, a small gathering in the evening, I have already prepared a meal in the Heya Restaurant next to the Guiguan, the hour is not early, it is better for everyone to go over." The junior disciple of Hall Master Xu and the eldest disciple of Master Jia, Gu Ye, were also there, and they had to shout together.

"When it comes to my view, how can I let you have a treat, today I accepted Yuantong as an apprentice, and I am happy, or I will come." Hall Master Xu was a little embarrassed, he insisted on accepting apprentices, so naturally he couldn't let the eldest brother break the bank, apprentices were difficult to learn, and apprentices were also difficult.

"Don't be humble, today's Dao Tan has been decided, let's change the day." Master Jia said from the side.

"Exactly, I've already told the store, how can I push it off? Another day, we will disturb your temple in many places, and I hope that the hall master will not refuse. ”

"Then it's troublesome." Hall Master Xu did not refuse.

When I arrived at the gate of the hall, the little school who went to arrange the restaurant was already waiting outside the hall, and at the same time, the accompanying servants also came out of the side hall and looked here, but they didn't have time to put the bundle on yet. In this era, a bit similar to ancient China, when students apprentice, they offer gifts to show respect, but the weight of the gift is so heavy that there are no specific regulations, generally prepare six things, celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan, dried meat, respectively, on behalf of diligence and studiousness, hard work, red luck, early high school, merit consummation, disciple mind, how much by people, but this time Chen Fan's parents prepared eight things, in addition to each of these six kinds of full box, also prepared sixty copper coins and a piece of cloth, also counted the blood capital.

In this era, it has always been one thousand texts, and sixty guan is sixty thousand texts, which is equivalent to 480,000 yuan, which is also a huge amount of money. But fortunately, the apprenticeship is only given once, and it is okay to send some dried meat, fruits and vegetables during the New Year's holidays. In order for Chen Fan to successfully obtain the inheritance of Guanzhong, learn the true scriptures that can cultivate the soul, and strengthen the body, the Chen family took out the family's savings for many years in one fell swoop.

The sixty guan is not much, some rich people are in the land of fireworks, laughing for the Pomeranians, and spending a lot of money, it depends on what level of consumption you have, Chen Fan's current home, fortunately, there are still some industries, and it depends on the salary given by the yamen, which is not enough for expenses at all.

However, the eldest brother was still a little embarrassed when he saw the little girl, after all, he only prepared a bundle, but after all, it was his own brother who was important, and said to Master Jia at the moment: "Master, before I go out, my father asked me to bring a bundle to the master, and I hope I don't want to excuse myself." Hall Master Xu, I'll prepare another one tomorrow, please don't be surprised. ”

"I don't pay attention to these vulgar rites, today Yuan Tong has already bowed, called the master, tomorrow I will go to see the Taoist elders in the lower view, just do a registration, I think those who come out of the Taoist courtyard, to my view of the disciples are also not prepared, Yuan Tong is the same as them, I don't accept it." Hall Master Xu was satisfied with the apprentice, and he didn't care about the rest. But what he said, should Master Jia take it or not?

"It's this ceremony, I also said this, I don't need it, I said no in Hudu County, you still brought it to the Taoist temple, let's take it back." Master Jia said that he was also very satisfied with Chen Fan, but he didn't care about the restraint or anything. Originally, the things were brought, and it was okay to accept them, but Hall Master Xu had already spoken, asking him how to accept them.

This time it was the eldest brother's turn to be a little embarrassed, but since he brought it, how could there be any reason to bring it back, so he said stubbornly: "My father repeatedly explained before leaving, the gift is not costly, and I must give it to me, talk about the heart, and hope that the mage will not refuse." ”

"Master, uncle, let's do it, my father said when he parted, the six rites prepared are prepared in accordance with the ancient rites of the bundle, which has been respected since the time of Confucius, one is to respect the teacher, the other is to express the meaning of auspiciousness, to the red bean table red luck high, longan table academic success, merit is complete, I want to come to the master will receive, how can there be a reason to dismiss the meaning of red luck and merit. In addition, I prepared 60 pieces of money and a piece of cloth, thinking that the master would not accept it, but this is the incense money for the Taoist temple, which has nothing to do with the master, indicating the father's respect for Taoism, and the master will not stop it, and there is no reason to push the incense money out. Today is also a coincidence, I and Aqing together into the Taoist Gate, the six ancient rites, more or less by people, mainly to be auspicious, if the master and the master do not dislike, I and Aqing are relatives, as one, this gift is given by the two of me together, to the two masters, I hope that the two masters do not want to refuse. After speaking, without waiting for the two masters to answer, he turned to Xiao Qing and said, "Aqing, would you like to send it with me?" ”

Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Of course I am willing." ”

Seeing that Xiao Qing said this, he stopped, looked at Chen Fan who turned his head, Chen Fan immediately raised his eyebrows, glanced at Xiao Qing, and then turned his head to look at Hall Master Xu, fortunately, Xiao Qing was not stupid, and immediately said: "Please accept it, Master." ”

Hall Master Xu, who was still hesitating whether to refuse, immediately smiled when he heard Xiao Qing say this, and said: "Yuantong, as my first personal disciple, is different from others, others don't accept it, Yuantong's still has to be accepted, and Geely still has to ask for it." ”

When he said this, Master Jia, who listened to this, opened his mouth wide, and thought to himself, how can this Xu Hall Master be so fickle, just now he said to Dao Tan that Yuan Tong was the same as other disciples, and he didn't accept it, and in a blink of an eye, Yuan Tong was different from others, isn't Dao Xuan my first personal disciple? Why does it seem to have become unkind? Looking at the elated Hall Master Xu, Master Jia chose not to squeak.
