Volume 1: Ashes Chapter 75 Apprenticeship and Storming
The long mountain steps, Ling Xiao swept for more than 2 hours before sweeping them.
He stood at the door of Qingfeng Temple, holding a Qingling broom, thoughtful.
He vaguely grasped something, but when he thought about it carefully, it was all rootless, and he couldn't grasp the essence of the root.
His understanding of mana is still too shallow.
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, only perseverance in sweeping the mountain can cause qualitative change from quantitative change, so that he can completely grasp that trace of clear understanding!
After thinking for a long time, Ling Xiao turned around and returned to the small courtyard.
To his surprise, there were many people in the small courtyard.
Xuan Jizi sat under the tree, surrounded by eight senior brothers such as Xuan Lingzi and Xuan Qingzi, and the disciples led by Ma Ying stood behind them without saying a word.
All the Taoist priests of the entire Qingfeng Temple gathered together!
Ling Xiao stepped in, and all eyes brushed together, causing his feet to stagnate.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what's wrong?" He stood at the gate of the courtyard and asked in surprise.
Everyone looked solemn, only Xuan Jizi smiled in his eyes, and said: "Master Ling, today the poor Dao summoned a meeting to discuss a matter about Lord Ling. ”
"About me?"
Ling Xiao blinked, his blank expression made the Taoist priests laugh one after another, and the serious atmosphere of the scene was relaxed.
Only Xuan Jizi didn't smile, he slowly stood up, his eyes were like thunder, and he solemnly fell on Ling Xiao, and asked in a deep voice: "Ling Xiao, are you willing to worship this door?" ”
Ling Xiao was stunned.
He never expected that Xuan Jizi would ask such a question!
But looking at the expressions of the Taoist priests, it doesn't seem to be a joke.
"I ......"
Ling Xiao opened his mouth and stammered for a while before shaking his head and said, "I understand the kindness of the Taoist Chief. But my six roots are not pure, it is difficult to give up the world, and I have no intention of becoming a monk. ”
Xuan Jizi seemed to have expected him to say this, and said: "You can be a lay disciple, and after you enter this sect, you don't have to talk about the etiquette of your family." ”
Ling Xiao was stunned again.
The attitude is very firm, must accept yourself?
Speaking of this, Ling Xiao had no reason to refuse, and immediately nodded and smiled: "Say it earlier!" That's no problem, I'd like to worship the Breeze Concept! ”
Hearing him say this, all the Dao Tong couldn't help but be overjoyed, even Xuan Lingzi, Xuan Qingzi and others also smiled and stroked their beards, and their eyes at Ling Xiao became more and more cordial.
Xuanjizi swept away the floating dust and said in a deep voice: "Okay! From today on, you are the 14th generation lay disciple of Qingfeng Temple! ”
The Dao boys let out a cheer.
"I'm no longer the youngest junior brother!" A little Taoist boy who was still snotty said happily.
"It's great that Senior Brother Ling can join Benguan!"
Everyone cheered, and Ling Xiao couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at this scene.
Is it that simple?
You don't have to bow three times and bow nine times, do some rituals or something?
Can you not be so hasty!
However, the matter has come to this point, and he has nothing to say, but seeing the anticipation of Xuan Jizi and others, he also understands it, and bows his hand to everyone, saying: "Ling Xiao greets all the senior uncles and brothers!" ”
"Good!"
Xuan Jizi and the others smiled, looking very relieved.
As soon as Ling Xiao straightened up, he saw Ma Ying come to him and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Ling, from now on, we will be a family." ”
"Senior Brother Ma, please give me a lot of advice in the future." Ling Xiao also responded with a smile.
"Ling Xiao, you come with me. The others are scattered! ”
Xuanjizi came up, and the floating dust was a little on Ling Xiao's shoulder, and commanded.
Ling Xiao had no choice but to follow, all the way through the corridor, to a courtyard at the end of the Qingfeng Temple. There is a plaque on the door, and there are three big characters of "Pure Yang Palace" written on it.
Entering the courtyard, I saw that the hall was three floors, the door on the first floor was open, the courtyard was quiet, the only ancient tree made a rustling sound in the wind.
Ling Xiao's heart was awe-struck, knowing that this was the official apprenticeship ceremony.
Sure enough, listening to Xuan Jizi, he said solemnly: "Ling Xiao, Qingfeng Guan has been inherited for thousands of years since the Sanqing Patriarch......"
He briefly told the history of Qingfeng Temple, and then took out two booklets and handed them to Ling Xiao, one recorded the rules of Qingfeng Temple, and the other was "Tao Te Ching", so that Ling Xiao could go back and recite it well.
Then, Xuanjizi took Ling Xiao into the side hall, where he met the tablets of the ancestors of the past dynasties, and finally bowed to Xuanjizi three times and bowed to the teacher.
After the ceremony, Xuan Jizi's serious face eased, and he advised: "Ling Xiao, although you are a lay disciple, you should practice much more freely, but you must also remember the four precepts, that is, abstain from killing, greed, indulgence, and deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors. Self-cultivation, and being kind to heaven and earth, with your qualifications, you will definitely be able to gain something on the way to cultivation! ”
Ling Xiao kept these words in mind and replied respectfully, "Remember the teachings of the master!" ”
He raised his head and looked at Xuan Jizi, and he couldn't help but have a trace of warmth in his eyes.
This kind and serious old man has become the closest person to him in this world.
"Let's go!"
Out of the Pure Yang Palace, the two of them went back to the loop, and Xuan Jizi said: "You have just started, and you still need to complete the introductory course before you can learn the Dao method of this inheritance." Later, you go to Ma Ying, and he will teach you. ”
"Yes!"
At the mention of this, Ling Xiao suddenly became energetic.
The reason why he is willing to worship Qingfeng Temple, in addition to respecting Qingfeng View, there is another reason, that is, the inheritance here!
Qingfeng Guan has stood in the Northern Liang Kingdom for thousands of years without falling, and the inheritance must have its excellence, not to mention anything else, just the unique rune made Ling Xiao salivate.
He made up his mind that he must complete the introductory course as soon as possible and study hard.
At the gate of the small courtyard, Ma Ying was already waiting here.
The next time was spent under the leadership of Ma Ying.
In addition to reciting the Tao Te Ching, it is a test called "Unphased Realm", which is said to be a peculiar fantasy space, and only by passing the unphased realm test can it represent overcoming the inner demons and allowing deeper cultivation.
Then he visited the various halls of Qingfeng Temple, learned about the specific operation of Qingfeng Temple, and arranged the schedule for Ling Xiao to sweep the mountain, and the day was completely over.
Back home.
Ling Xiao sat under the green tree and was distracted for a while.
It is of great significance to worship the view of the breeze.
From then on, he was no longer a casual cultivator, he had a master, a teacher, and he also had to rely on and care.
All this was certainly something to be happy about, but Ling Xiao knew very well that he couldn't stop.
All the people in Qingfeng Guan thought that he was a genius and that he had a bright future, so they couldn't wait to recruit him, lest Mingzhu secretly invest and be intercepted by the Songshan Sword Sect.
This kind of vanity that is favored by others is of course exciting, and Ling Xiao also enjoys it.
But he must be clear that he is not a genius.
"Let's cultivate!"
He took a deep breath, stood up, and returned to his regular life.
Introductory course or something, he's not in a hurry.
The most important thing right now is to learn how to make high-level talismans and turn them into profits.
As he gradually approached the sevenfold cultivation of Qi Refining, the demand for spirit stones increased day by day.
Making money is the number one priority!
Everything else has to give way.
That night, he went to the black market again, sold a small part of the demon beast materials, and exchanged them for spiritual food.
After lingering at the door of the Floating Fragrance Pavilion for a while, he didn't step into it after all, but turned around and soaked in various stalls all night.
Soon, more than a month passed.
"1700 spirit stones, deal! Congratulations to Daoyou for taking a picture of this bottle of Yuehua Dew! ”
Lion Firm, Auction, Mrs. Xia He smiled and knocked down the gavel.
Ling Xiao soon received Yuehualu, and after bowing his hand to Mrs. Xia He from afar, he withdrew from the scene and returned home.
Among the first-order elixirs, Yuehualu has a strong medicinal effect and mild medicinal properties, which is the best coveted by countless monks, and it is also one of the best choices for sprinting the bottleneck of cultivation.
Back home, Ling Xiao simply took care of the spiritual field and spiritual pool.
In the spirit pool, the molten crucian carp and the ingots turtle ushered in a new round of output, and he harvested a large amount of spiritual food reserves, and a few days ago, the spiritual rice had just been harvested.
Everything.
Ling Xiao sat under the tree, silently breathing, adjusting his state to the peak, and then raised his head to take a mouthful of moon dew.
