A few days later.

The Ningyang Cave of Zhongnan Mountain, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly became lively.

Even the people in Xigou City, fifty miles away, could see the colorful clouds gathering in the sky and the auspicious light falling towards Zhongnan Mountain.

"Hey, what's going on in Zhongnan Mountain?"

"You don't know yet? It is said that Zhong Shenxian has a new disciple! ”

"Yo, who is so lucky to be able to worship Immortal Zhong as a teacher?"

"I don't know about this, but I heard that Mr. Wu received an invitation and went to the banquet."

The people of Xigou City talked a lot, and there was no lack of curiosity and envy in their words.

……

Ningyang Cave, Preaching Temple.

Chen Yun, who is called "lucky one", is welcoming Wang Laozhi.

"Welcome to the pure yang real person."

"Welcome to Li Zhenren, the king of medicine."

"Welcome to the ...... of Guangzong"

In the midst of singing, several immortals pressed the cloud head and entered the preaching temple.

Chen Yun finally knew how wide Zhong Liquan's immortal vein was today.

In just a short period of time, one or twenty immortal families rushed over.

Among them, there are many well-known immortal families.

Such as the tall and majestic, handsome and extraordinary, pure yang real person Lu Dongbin who carries a sword; Unkempt and bearded, with huge eyes and frank belly pacing, ugly appearance, golden hoops to tie hair, iron cane pacing, and an iron cane plum with a medicine gourd on his back; Zhang Guolao, who was carrying a love tube and riding a white donkey upside down, and so on.

There are also some real people who have not shattered the void but have been refined into golden pills.

For example, Cao Tong, the uncle of Song Guoguo, who wears a gauze hat, wears a red robe and official uniform, and holds a yin and yang board; Han Xiangzi, who is holding a flute and has a good demeanor; Men dressed as women, carrying flower baskets, wearing tattered blue clothes, wearing boots on one foot, Lan Cai and Xu Jian on the other foot, etc.

These immortal families all have a lot to do with Zhong Liquan, either as disciples or as close friends.

Of course, these are not the biggest immortals.

The largest immortal family is the Eastern Prince, Wang Xuanfu.

As the teacher of Zhongliquan and the original owner of Ningyang Cave, he is now a disciple who accepts his own disciples, so he naturally attends in person.

In addition, because Zhong Liquan asked Chen Yun to find "apprenticeship introducers" and "guerrers".

Therefore, Chen Yun proposed to invite Zhao Gongming, Guan Erye and Wu Gentleman, who were relatively familiar with the relationship.

Although the gentleman Wu is a mortal, he is kind and benevolent, and enjoys a great reputation in Xigou City.

In the end, Zhong Liquan thought about it for a long time and decided to let him become Chen Yun's apprentice introducer.

Zhao Gongming and Guan Yunchang, the two immortal families, became Chen Yun's guarantor.

The apprentice introducer is very understanding.

So what is a guarantor?

To put it bluntly, it is a guarantor, guaranteeing that this disciple will practice hard and will not go out to kill people and set fires.

In general, the guardian is the elder of the family of the apprentice.

But Chen Yun had already been sold, and he had broken off his relationship with his original family, so he could only ask for "foreign aid".

Fortunately, Zhao Gongming and Guan Yunchang liked Chen Yun very much because of chess, so they rushed over after receiving the invitation.

Chen Yunzheng recalled.

Wang Laozhi looked at the sky, "Senior Brother Chen, it's the end of the hour, it's almost time for the apprenticeship ceremony, you and I can go to the main hall and wait." ”

Chen Yun responded: "Huh." ”

The two of them walked towards the inside of the mountain gate.

Along the way, I saw Zhang Qian, Li Si, Wang Siyan and other long-term workers all busy, either serving tea and water, or preparing various fairy fruits.

These people don't seem to be any different from before.

It's just that Chen Yun walked and saw that whether Zhang Qian, Li Si and others had a good relationship before, or Senior Brother Tang and others who had a normal relationship, the eyes that looked at him became a little awe-inspiring.

Come to the main hall.

The first to catch the eye is Wang Xuanfu, the prince of the east, who is sitting on the left side of the long case.

It is an old man with a smile on his face and white hair, and a branch of a hibiscus tree in his left hand.

Sitting on the right side of the Eastern Maharaja was Zhong Liquan.

The row on the left side below is Tie Guan Li, Lu Dongbin, Zhang Guolao and He Xiangu who smashed the void of immortal families.

Zhao Gongming and Guan Yunchang are both listed.

In addition, because of his role as Chen Yun's apprentice introducer, Gentleman Wu was honored to sit at the bottom of the row of immortals.

In the row on the right are sitting Quanzhen Sect Leader Chongyang Zhenren, Cao Yan, Xu Jian, Zhao Mu and other Jindan real people.

Two rows of tables are lined with different kinds of fairy fruits such as red dates, peaches, plums, almonds and lychees.

Uncle Zheng Wen, Cai Rujin and Wang Tsaixi were standing.

Chen Yun, under the leadership of Wang Laozhi, greeted them one by one again.

Finally, he stood to the right of where Zhong Liquan was sitting.

Zhong Liquan smiled and chatted with the immortals for a while.

Then, he glanced out, turned his head sideways and whispered to Uncle Zheng Wen, "Uncle Wen, the time has come, let's start." ”

"Yes, Master."

Uncle Zheng Wen responded.

He glanced at Cai Rujin and Wang Zixi.

Cai Rujin and Wang Tsaixi immediately put the incense case neatly and hung the portrait of Lao Tzu.

Subsequently, Cai Rujin carried the small bell "Dangdang" and struck ten times in a row.

Wang Tsai used to be a drum tee.

Hearing the bells and drums ringing in unison, the guests fell silent.

Only then did Uncle Zheng Wen step forward to speak, "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony of my master, and Uncle Wen is here to thank you." ”

Tie Guan Li, Zhang Guolao and others below smiled.

Uncle Zheng Wen continued: "The ancestor Lao Tzu, surnamed Li Ming'er, is a ...... Demu world, shouting with arms, the crown of the ancient and modern ......"

Then he recited a passage from the Taoist Sutra.

After reading, Uncle Zheng Wen said loudly: "Please ask the teacher Zhengyang Zhenren to give incense to the ancestor, the ancestor of the Eastern Prince, and bow three times, and the teacher will bow his hand to show respect at every turn." ”

Zhong Liquan stood up and walked slowly towards the incense case.

All the immortals present looked at each other.

Zhong Liquan first knelt down to worship the prince of the east, and then took the three sticks of incense and came to the portrait of Lao Tzu, and said with full of anger: "Disciple Zhong Liquan implores his teacher, the ancestor Lao Tzu agrees, and today he is willing to accept Chen Yun as an apprentice. ”

After three prostrations, Zhong Liquan was invited to sit in the traditional chair.

Uncle Zheng Wen called Chen Yun and asked him to kowtow three times to the portraits of Wang Xuanfu and Lao Tzu, and then asked him to kneel in front of Zhong Liquan, and then began to introduce Chen Yun's situation.

Chen Yun knelt respectfully on the futon, bowed his head and listened.

After these procedures were completed, Uncle Zheng Wen continued to preside: "Please ask the apprentice elders to offer a bow to Zhengyang Zhenren, and read out the prayer post, and the disciple Chen Yunxing bowed down and bowed. ”

Gentleman Wu hurriedly stepped forward and did what Uncle Zheng Wen said.

After all this was done, Chen Yun raised the apprenticeship post above his head and asked Gentleman Wu to present the apprenticeship post.

Gentleman Wu read aloud: "The teacher is great, passed down from generation to generation, now there is a foolish man Chen Yun willing to worship Zhengyang Zhenren Zhong Liquan, under the profession, cultivate the right way, although the master and apprentice are divided into the future, friendship with father and son, for the teacher, when you know respect, you are trained, no teeth are unforgettable, love out of the heart, no regrets, empty words without evidence, I would like to use this word, to show solemnity." ”

After that, Chen Yun signed and signed.

Zhao Gongming and Guan Yunchang, as guarantors, also stepped forward to draw a charge.

The year, month and date are clearly written on it.

Uncle Zheng Wen said again: "The disciple bows to the heavens, the earth, the king, the relatives, and the teacher. ”

Chen Yun did so.

Zhong Liquan replied to the handover salute, expressing his willingness to preach and receive karma to solve doubts.

This is followed by the ordination ceremony.

Chen Yunlang said: "Disciple Chen Yunjin is admonished by the respected teacher, solemn and quiet, respectful and peaceful, the five bodies are slight, Yan Huang is virtuous, the disciple kneels, and the teacher is the head." ”

He worshipped and shouted, "Worship the emperor and the queen of heaven, the eternal restoration, and the virtuous creatures." ”

He bowed the second time, "Bow to the ancestors again, the way of the first saints, and be protected." ”

He bowed for the third time, "Three bows, learn from the Master, inherit my wisdom, learn and learn." ”

Then Uncle Zheng Wen talked about some rules after getting started.

It's a long paragraph.

It probably means how to worship the master after the apprenticeship.

For example, respecting teachers and fearing teachers.

Another example is to treat the ancestor and the teacher as parents.

If they live together, they should also have a pleasant face in the morning and dusk.

Including a series of rules such as asking for peace every day, asking the master to sit down and saying three times, and going to the master to knock on the door three times.

To tell the truth, there are many rules that Chen Yun has never heard.

For example, after apprenticeship, not only can you not eat Master's food and use Master's, but you must also take the initiative to honor Master's clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

Of course, to say that is actually just a formality.

Despite this, Chen Yun still kept them in mind one by one.

After a while, Uncle Zheng Wen finished talking about the rules.

At this time, Wang Laozhi brought a cup of tea and handed it to Chen Yun.

Chen Yun took it and knelt down to offer tea.

Zhong Liquan bowed back according to the rules, and then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Chen Yun immediately said: "Thank you to the teacher for accepting me to get started." ”

Next is the exchange of tokens.

Chen Yun handed over the red wedding bag to be auspicious.

This is the intention of the disciple, and generally does not give too much.

According to Wang Laozhi's explanation in advance, he wrapped six taels of silver.

Zhong Liquan took the red joy bag.

Uncle Zheng Wen said loudly: "Please return the gift." ”

Zhong Liquan thought for a while, took out a wooden sword from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Yun, and said in a loud voice: "Chen Yun, this is a magic weapon made by the master with a hundred years of lightning striking jujube wood. ”

The hundred-year-old lightning strike jujube wood is known as the "king of magic weapons".

Chen Yun didn't expect Zhong Liquan's apprenticeship ceremony to give back such a treasure.

He hurriedly took the jujube wood sword and said, "Thank you for the reward." ”

The next step is to announce the rules of teacher training, and give names, etc., and also "add a ruler to the body".

Zhong Liquan opened his mouth and lectured the lecturer: "There are not too many cumbersome rules for entering my door, first, respect the teacher, second, do not divulge the secret art of immortality in this sect, third, do not slack off in practice, fourth, always do good deeds and accumulate virtue, Chen Yun, do you understand?" ”

Chen Yun responded: "The disciple is trained. ”

Zhong Liquan continued: "In addition, there is still a word to give to the teacher, I hope you can keep it in mind. ”

Chen Yungong listened: "Please ask the teacher to specify." ”

Zhong Liquan said slowly; "A few days ago, the disciple of the master and the disciple tested you, and I found the clue to counter it, if according to the traditional rules, I will definitely not enter the door, but you are clear between life and death, and the teacher feels that it is still a material that can be made, and after careful consideration, I decided to accept you to get started, and I hope that in the future, I will never take small wisdom as great wisdom, have you ever known?"

Zhong Liquan still has a word that has not been spoken.

He felt that Chen Yun was too smart, so smart that it was a little reassuring.

If he didn't accept him as a disciple today and use the Dao Law to influence him every day, he was really afraid that Chen Yun would turn into a "troll" who would be a disaster party in the future.

It can be said that this is one of the real reasons why he is willing to accept Chen Yun as an apprentice.

On the other hand, when Chen Yun was tempted by the "almsgiving" yesterday, he did not notice anything abnormal.

Zhong Liquan can infer from this that Chen Yun's heart is still in line with Taoist kindness, and the way of doing good is different from that of the world.

He wants to see if under his tireless training, he can train Chen Yun to be a "troll" or a "supreme person" in the world.

Chen Yun didn't know what Zhong Liquan was thinking, but he understood his lesson, "Obey the teacher's teachings." ”

Zhong Liquan said: "Since you have entered my door, you should give you a legal name......

Speaking of this, his eyes became serious and sharp, "Your name is Chen Yun, as your name suggests, you are humble and gentle on the surface, but in fact, your heart is like the clouds in the sky, quite proud and uninhibited. ”

Chen Yun respectfully listened as his mentor pointed out the flaws in his character.

"My Taoist sect pays attention to doing nothing and doing nothing, cultivating the mind." Zhong Liquan is still earnestly teaching, "Therefore, the teacher hopes that you will one day be able to be peaceful and simple, so I will give you the name Chen Pu, and the word is used for chong, so is it good?" ”

In addition to Guan Erye and Wu Gentleman, Gu is a Taoist immortal, so he naturally understands that the word "Chong" is taken from "Lao Tzu" "Dao Chong, and it is not profitable for a long time".

It means modesty, neutrality.

That is, Zhong Liquan hopes that Chen Yun will not be a person who thinks highly of himself and is pretentious, and maintains the mean.

Chen Yun naturally understood the meaning.

But when he heard Zhong Liquan's words, he was stunned.

I?

Chen Pu?

Am I Chen Pu?

Chen Yun couldn't believe it for a while.

In his previous life, he knew some Taoist culture, and knew that Zhong Liquan had an apprentice named Chen Pu.

It's just that he has never seen or heard of it for a long time when he came to the missionary temple, and he still thinks that there is no such person as Chen Pu in this world.

I never thought that Chen Pu would be himself!

Chen Yun lost his mind for a while, and for the first time suspected that it was no accident that he had crossed over from modern society to this world.

"Senior Brother Chen? Senior Brother Chen? ”

Uncle Zheng Wen reminded me.

Only then did Chen Yun suddenly wake up and was in the process of apprenticeship.

He hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you for the name." ”

Zhong Liquan didn't blame him for losing his mind, but just completed the ring ruler.

Finally, Zhong Liquan signed his name on the apprenticeship post.

After Chen Yun expressed his gratitude and respect, he was taken by Zhong Liquan to bow deeply to the patriarch Wang Xuanfu for three times.

Wang Xuanfu looked at Chen Yun and said with a smile: "You are my apprentice grandson, and you should be given a meeting gift as a master, but you are in a hurry to come from the poor road, and you have nothing to give, so do you want to give you a branch?" ”

Chen Yun didn't react at first to what the master had done to his branches.

However, he still kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you for the reward." ”

Wang Xuanfu bowed slightly, stretched out his right hand and broke off a small branch of the Fusang tree he was holding in his left hand, "This is the Fusang branch, and today the poor road will be given to you." ”

it!

Fuso branches?

Chen Yun was really stunned.

He never thought that he would worship Zhong Liquan as his teacher and get a treasure like Fusang Tree Branch from his ancestor Wang Xuanfu!

You must know that among the more than 100 medicinal herbs in Da Luoling Soup, there are just a branch of Fusang!
