Chapter 19: Apprenticeship
"Although I have not yet become a registered disciple of the teacher, please bless me to pass the assessment smoothly."
After speaking, he took two steps forward and inserted the incense into the incense burner.
With the fragrance in the incense burner, the assessment has officially begun.
"Gu Qian, next I will draw two basic symbols, if you can follow the stroke order I draw, it will mean that you have passed."
Gu Qian nodded while helping the Shanke Taoist polish ink.
The eyes are staring at the paper written by the mountain guest Taoist, not for a moment.
Shanke Daoren is not very fast, mainly so that Gu Qian can remember better.
Waiting for a talisman to be drawn, he looked up, he looked at Gu Qian on the side, Gu Qian had already closed his eyes and was remembering the process of writing in the mountain guest Taoist.
After reviewing it in his mind, Gu Qian picked up the brush this time, took out a clean piece of rice paper, and drew on the paper.
By the time a drawing was ready, her forehead was already sweating a little, and it was not too easy for her to memorize strokes mainly for a short time.
Shanke Daoist looked at it slightly, and then he took the pen handed over by Gu Qian, and drew a new talisman.
This time, the talisman is a little more complicated than the previous one, but it's a little simpler than the luck sucking talisman.
Gu Qian was extremely familiar with the luck charm, but she had never seen this one in front of her.
Fortunately, she has a talent for memorizing lines, and after the Shanke Taoist finished drawing, she reviewed it again in her mind, especially some details, and memorized it several times.
When she opened her eyes, she turned out to be the brush in the hand of the mountain guest and drew on the paper.
This time she drew much slower than last time, but she still drew it without a bad stroke, that is, the movement of the pen and the pause in the middle, which were exactly the same as the movements of the Shanke Taoist, like copying and pasting, but showing it in the hands of different people.
Now it was the turn of the mountain guest to be amazed.
He has seen a lot of so-called geniuses in drawing talismans over the years, and it is not for nothing that people can draw them after reading them, but none of them can imitate them after looking at them once they look at them.
That's the real talent.
If it weren't for Gu Qian's identity, it would be impossible to follow him to Shangqingguan, he would have offered her to be a disciple of his own lineage.
"Gu Qian, would you like to be my registered disciple?" The Shanke Taoist asked. For a long time, they have been preferring to lack rather than indiscriminate in the Qingguan to accept disciples, so the disciples are extremely rare.
"I am willing to be Master's registered disciple." Gu Qian hurriedly saluted the master and apprentice to the mountain guest Taoist.
The Shanke Taoist searched in his pocket, and finally took out a bracelet with jade beads.
"The level of refining magic weapons for my master is not as high as your master's ancestor, so I thought of a method, that is, the quality is not enough to make up the quantity, one bead can offset a serious injury, and this string of beads has a total of twenty, which can offset twenty damages. These are considered as gifts for the teacher to give you. ”
When Shanke Daoren took out his things, Shen Chengrui was a little moved, this master was really worth it.
Even if it was him, he spent a lot of money to get three disposable magic weapons, two for the old man, and one for himself.
Gu Qian took the string of jade beads, and his big eyes were already smiling like a crescent moon.
"Master, your greeting gift is so real, thank you, Master." After Gu Qian finished speaking, he took out a card from his body.
"My parents died early, one day as a teacher and a lifetime as a father, the master is not good at taking other people's cards, and the apprentice's money can always be used. There are only 30 million here, although it is not as good as the string of jade beads that the master gave me, but this is the filial piety of the apprentice. ”
Gu Qian couldn't help but say that he stuffed the card into the hands of the mountain guest Taoist.
Shanke Daoren made a straight face: "Have you forgotten what I said before?" I can't take my apprentice's money. ”
Shanke Daoist wanted to refuse politely, Gu Qian said again: "Master, the magic weapon you gave me, even if you make it yourself, the jade is also a huge amount of money, and the quality of the magic weapon made by this is better, but I can help solve the jade rough, and Brother Shen can also help." ”
Gu Qian thought that there were still some jade rough stones in the bank safe, as she expected, it should be collected by her father for Yun Yan Zhenren, but her father didn't wait for Yun Yan Zhenren to have an accident.
"Yes, if the Taoist needs jadeite, you can tell me, my Shen family has a jewelry company, not only can you pick a good quality jadeite, but also get the rough stone. If the Taoist has a need for this, I can take you over to see it. ”
This time, the chief of the mountain guest did not refuse: "I want to make tools, jade and jade are needed, and I will open my mouth if necessary." ”
"Master, now that the outside world is changing with each passing day, I see that Master has not used a mobile phone yet."
"Master doesn't need these things. It's just that there are too many dazzling things that make many people lose their minds with playthings, and you are the same, if you want to learn to draw talismans, you can't indulge in these foreign objects. ”
Now Gu Qian is the master of the mountain guest Taoist, so he inevitably wants to preach to this apprentice.
He had heard too many stories of geniuses who were disoriented by foreign objects, indulged in them, and finally reduced to the ordinary. That's why Master said that they can't abandon traditions, but must cultivate wholeheartedly.
"Master, you are wrong, only those who are not strong-minded will be affected by external objects, many foreign objects, not to make us lost, the original intention of appearing is to make our lives more convenient."
After saying it in one breath, Gu Qian's mouth was dry, Shen Chengrui handed Gu Qian a glass of water, Gu Qian drank it all in one gulp, and continued.
"Take your mobile phone as an example, you are usually in the mountains, is it inconvenient to buy some materials? Every time I go back and forth to the mountains and down the mountain, in addition, those materials are all over the world, in order to collect materials, do you have to run around? Even if that's the case, it's not necessarily complete, is it? That's why you're usually reluctant to collect money, and prefer to collect materials, aren't you? ”
Shanke Daoist didn't expect Gu Qian to say all the reasons correctly.
Gu Qian walked up to Shanke Daoren, took out his mobile phone, and clicked on a shopping platform APP.
"Master, you see, you may be able to find the materials you want here, you don't need to run around to collect materials, you just need to keep your eyes open to see the authenticity of the pictures behind the shopping platform, even if the items you buy are not ideal, you can apply for a refund. It's so convenient. ”
Gu Qian said as he taught the mountain visitors to use the shopping platform on their mobile phones.
When Shankedao people were immersed in the new world of the shopping platform, Gu Qian winked at Shen Chengrui on the side and motioned to Shen Chengrui to help Shankedaoren buy a mobile phone.
Shen Chengrui understood Gu Qian's meaning almost in seconds and walked out of the courtyard.
Gu Qian taught Shankedao people how to shop, and at the same time "brainwashed" Shankedao people, which should be said to be "persuasion" accurately.
