The terrain of Zhongnan Mountain is difficult and the road is rugged.

There are five large valleys, more than 100 small valleys, and hundreds of thousands of miles.

The Ningyang Cave Preaching Temple is in one of its great valleys.

Chen Yun followed Wang Laozhi around the Taoist temple and came to the squatter house.

Wang Laozhi said: "This place is a place where ordinary people live, even you have a total of thirteen people, they are working during the day, you will see them later, you can call them 'senior brother' at that time." ”

Chen Yun said respectfully: "Yes." ”

Wang Laozhi raised a little, and said: "You enter my Ningyang Cave to work, I have to explain this money." ”

Chen Yun hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Wang, you spend a lot of money to buy me, Yun doesn't dare to ask for extravagant money." ”

"Eh, my Taoist family is equal, since you want to work for Ningyang Cave, you should naturally get some money." Wang Laozhi waved his hand and said: "In this way, according to the market price, during the first year of apprenticeship, I will pay one tael of silver per month, and after one year, if I perform well, the money will rise to three taels per month." ”

Chen Yun said: "Let the senior brother decide." ”

Wang Laozhi said: "In addition, I will ask you to send you two or three changes of robes, and you can get two clothes of different seasons every year when the seasons change, and eat three meals a day, because some people meditate at the beginning of the day, and practice boxing at the beginning of the day, so the breakfast time is in the middle of the day, rest for a while after the meal, start to work at the beginning of the hour, eat lunch at the beginning of the afternoon, rest for a while at noon, work again at the end of the day, until the end of the work at the end of the Shen time, and then have dinner in the middle of the unitary time." ”

It's very detailed.

Chen Yun probably understood that breakfast was six o'clock in the morning, lunch was eleven o'clock in the afternoon, and dinner was six o'clock in the afternoon.

He asked curiously, "When you meditate, when you practice boxing?" ”

Wang Laozhi said with a smile: "Meditation is a necessary daily homework for those people who refine and refine the qi, as for the practice of boxing, it is generally a hundred days to build a foundation, refining the grain and refining the essence, you can not do it without a strong body, get up early tomorrow, someone will teach you to practice boxing with the method of breathing and breathing." ”

Chen Yun's eyes lit up and said, "Is the breathing, breathing, and fisting method that I taught is the method of building a foundation in a hundred days and refining the valley and refining the essence?" ”

"Haha, you kid is really similar to Lu Dongbin." Wang Laozhi laughed and said, "Breathing and fisting just make you stronger. ”

Chen Yun was disappointed.

Wang Laozhi seemed to see his thoughts, and added: "But when you enter my Ningyang Cave, whether you are apprenticed or not, you will teach a set of methods for building a foundation in a hundred days, if the foundation is successful, you will continue to teach the method of refining the valley and refining the essence, and you will also teach some side techniques, such as asking the immortal Fuluan, asking the divination and yarrow, or Confucianism, Taoism, Yin and Yang, Mojia, and medical classics, of course, Fu Gong, alchemy, etc., are interested in learning, but they don't teach the secret method of refining and refining qi." ”

Chen Yun said in amazement: "All the long-term workers are awarded Dafa? ”

Wang Laozhi explained: "If you can't learn a trade or two in my preaching temple and are dismissed at the end of the five-year term, how will you support yourself? ”

Speaking of this, he said meaningfully: "Dozens of taels of silver seem like a lot, but you can't help but spend it, it is better to give people fish than to give them fish." ”

Only then did Chen Yun know how high the ideological consciousness of the Taoist priests in Ningyang Cave was, and the so-called equality of all people was definitely not lip service.

He couldn't help but be full of respect for Zhong Liquan, whom Wang Laozhi and Su Wei met.

Respect to respect, he still has a question.

Chen Yun cautiously asked, "How can I learn the secret method of refining and refining qi?" ”

After asking, he also secretly glanced at Wang Laozhi's reaction.

Wang Laozhi looked at him with a smile, "This is the art of immortality, and it should not be passed on lightly, unless the old man nods." ”

Get.

Still want Zhong Liquan to nod.

Chen Yun felt regretful in his heart.

Wang Laozhi pointed out again: "The teacher is open-minded, if he performs well in building a foundation in a hundred days and refining grains and refining essences, he may be able to enter his old man's Dharma eye to practice secret arts." ”

With that, he conjured a key out of thin air, "Take it, this is the key to your house." ”

Chen Yun took the key, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wang." ”

Wang Laozhi snorted and put his hands behind his back, "You go first to rest for a while, someone will shout at the dinner later, and I'm a little busy in advance." ”

With that, he walked straight away.

Chen Yun stared at Wang Laozhi's back for a while, secretly thinking about what he had just said.

As long as the foundation is built in 100 days, the grain refining and refining are excellent, there is hope that Zhong Liquan will be favored to teach Dafa?

I don't know if the "Da Luo Ling Soup" recorded by Fang Yu can help him perform "excellent".

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Yun smiled dumbly and said, "I can't even recognize all the medicinal materials, what kind of big Luo Ling soup do you want." ”

He took out the key to open the door while secretly pondering: "But I can work in the medicine garden, it doesn't take too long to get familiar with all kinds of medicinal materials, and when I am familiar with the medicinal materials, I can take the money to the city to buy medicinal materials, and then boil Da Luoling soup." ”

Click, the door lock opened.

Chen Yun pushed the door in and found that it was a bedroom of about fifteen square meters.

In addition to a wooden bed with neat futon, there are also some pots and pans.

What surprised Chen Yun the most was that there was a wooden bathing barrel in the corner, and there was also a small wooden square table with an oil lamp for writing.

"This living environment is more than a hundred times better than that of a small mountain village!"

Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh.

Life finally changed for the first time under my own struggle.

In the afternoon, a senior brother who was a female celebrity sent a robe.

Chen Yun also made jokes at that time, learning to call others senior sisters in online novels and movies and television in his previous life.

Later, he was told by the senior brother that Taoism does not have titles such as "senior sister, Taoist aunt".

Regardless of gender, they are either called senior brothers, junior brothers, or "Taoist brothers, Taoist friends".

Address seniors as "Teacher, Mr."

But the immortals who have cultivated the golden pill must be called "real people".

Chen Yun secretly kept these in his heart.

In the evening, the brothers who worked gradually returned.

He got to know each other with these brothers and learned that these people were purely working for the missionary temple.

There were a few senior brothers who were not good at speaking, and Chen Yun didn't make many friends.

However, the two senior brothers, Zhang Qian and Li Si, are bold and easy-going, and they have endless words with Chen Yunzhi.

Chen Yun also learned from them that there were only four true Zhongliquan apprentices and disciples in the Guanzhong.

The two apprentices are Uncle Zheng Wen, who has never met, and Wang Laozhi, who has never met.

Each of them has an apprentice.

Uncle Zheng Wen's apprentice is called Cai Rujin.

Wang Laozhi's apprentice is called Wang Zaixi.

These are all personal disciples.

Zhong Liquan also has an apprentice who has already become a teacher and is Lu Dongbin.

According to several senior brothers, Zhong Liquan also has some registered disciples who are not open to the public, such as Zhao Mu, Cao Tong and so on.

Especially that Cao Yan, it is rumored that he is the uncle of Song Guoguo, and his status is noble.

When Chen Yun heard this, he said in his heart, isn't this Uncle Cao Guo, one of the Eight Immortals?

At this moment, Chen Yun knew how huge the power of Zhong Liquan's protégé and former officials was.

……

Around six o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Yun, Zhang Qian, and Li Si went to the cafeteria to eat.

Zhang Qian is a young man of eighteen or nineteen, not very old and not tall, but he has a half-foot long beard, and his personality is quite bold.

Li Si is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old man, he is the "master" of Chen Yun Medicine Garden, and his personality is relatively easy-going, so he doesn't seem to talk much, but he will say anything you ask.

The cafeteria has a nickname called Meditation Hall.

As soon as Chen Yun came in, he smelled the smell of meat.

He took a closer look and found that except for the thirteen senior brothers who worked, only the young senior brothers did not know.

"Senior Brother Wang."

"Senior Brother Wang."

Zhang Qian and Li Si saluted.

As soon as Chen Yun heard this, he knew that this was Wang Laozhi's apprentice, and hurriedly saluted: "Chen Yun has met Senior Brother Wang, and it is the first time we meet, please take care of Senior Brother." ”

Wang Tsaixi's personality was a little cold, but he didn't say anything more in response to the word "um".

Zhang Qian and Li Si didn't dare to disturb, and pulled Chen Yun to the next table.

There was still a person sitting at the table, Chen Yun remembered that it seemed to be Senior Brother Ding in the alchemy room, this person's personality was a little similar to Wang Zixi, and he was also a person with a cold personality.

He didn't care what happened to this Senior Brother Ding.

Because Chen Yun saw that there was actually a plate of steamed mutton on the table.

There is also a pan-fried yellow croaker with cabbage, hollyhock and radish soup.

Chen Yun's appetite was greatly moved, but the senior brothers didn't move the chopsticks, and he was embarrassed to eat first.

Zhang Qian seems to have a higher status.

He picked up his chopsticks and pointed, "Everyone, let's eat." ”

Immediately, Li Si and Senior Brother Ding picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Chen Yun did the same, he took a piece of steamed mutton and threw it into his mouth, although he ate it except for a little mutton flavor, the taste was relatively light, but he had never eaten mutton since he came to this world, and at first glance, he immediately had a delicious feeling.

Delicious!

It's so delicious!

While eating, Chen Yun couldn't help but recall the old days, he couldn't eat enough in a small mountain village, let alone eat mutton.

Sure enough, you have to fight for the opportunity yourself!

Zhang Qian was more righteous enough, and took the initiative to give Chen Yun a piece of fried fish, and said, "Senior brother, try the fragrant fried fish handed down by Senior Brother Ning's family." ”

Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, "Essence? ”

Although this thing was invented in the seventh century B.C., it is generally used in perfumes, and I have never heard of it being used in fried fish.

Senior Brother Ding said coldly, "Senior Brother Ning's family has a spice for frying fish, because the fried fish is particularly delicious, so it is called fragrant fried fish." ”

Oh, I see.

Chen Yun probably understood.

"Okay, I don't say anything about eating, if Senior Brother Wang hears that I am waiting for dinner, I will scold more." Li Si reminded.

Chen Yun looked sideways, and sure enough, he saw Wang Zaixi staring at everyone.

He hurriedly shut his mouth with the senior brothers, and kept eating the dishes on the table like a starving ghost.

After a while, Senior Brother Ding was the first to eat.

He picked up the dishes and chopsticks and stood up, and said, "Senior brothers, senior brothers, you eat slowly, and I will go back to the house first." ”

Chen Yun responded with Zhang Qian and Li Si.

Subsequently, Zhang Qian also went out to wash the dishes after eating.

In the end, only Chen Yun and Li Si were left on the table.

Chen Yun ate with a mouth full of oil, and his stomach was also very distended.

At this time, when he saw Wang Tsaixi leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Ding, Senior Brother Zhang, why did they eat so quickly?" ”

Li Si smiled and said, "They are in a hurry to go back to the house to rest for a while, and they will take advantage of the food in their stomachs to meditate and practice later." ”

Chen Yun blinked and said, "Refining the grain and refining the essence? ”

Li Si bowed, "Yes." ”

Chen Yun said with envy: "I don't know when I will be able to refine the grain and refine like you." ”

Li Si smiled and said: "After building the foundation in a hundred days, junior brother doesn't need to be anxious, it's a pity that my talent is dull, I'm afraid that I don't have any hope of worshipping under the ancestor to practice immortality in this life, and I don't know if you have such a blessing, junior brother." ”

I?

Chen Yun was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he secretly thought: "I have the Great Luo Ling Soup, even if I can't worship under Zhongli Quan, as long as I have the opportunity to obtain the secret technique of immortality, I will definitely be able to live forever...... and even became an immortal! ”
