Volume 1 The Elephant of the Circle of Heaven and Earth Chapter 4 Introduction
Seeing that Liang Zongbing had gone away, the Qingxu Daoist comforted Liang Cheng with a pleasant face, and after Liang Cheng stopped crying, he said: "Child, you can enter my Dao Gate, and it is also a fairy fate." It's getting late today, so you can eat your fast and go down and rest. As he spoke, he called the three disciples, Yuan Jing, to lead Liang Cheng down.
Taiqing opened his mouth at this time and said: "Qingxu, I think that although this son is full of evil, he is a strange root, much better than your unsuccessful disciples, you are in a hurry to accept him as an apprentice, is it for that?"
Qingxu sighed and said slowly: "Uncle Shi, you don't know that it has been thirty-one years since I smashed Shizun's mission last time and was demoted to this small Taoist temple to watch Yuehuatan. Except for Uncle Shi, you still come to me from time to time, and Master and my brothers probably forget about me. If I am lucky enough to be able to handle the affairs of the three ancestors well this time, as soon as his old man is happy, I will return to the sect, won't I have some hope. ”
Taiqing Lao Dao nodded when he heard this, and looked at Liang Cheng's distant back thoughtfully.
Let's say that Liang Cheng followed Yuan Jing to the dining hall first, had dinner and then came to a small courtyard, and when he entered the room, he saw that this quiet room was also clean and tidy. There wasn't much stuff in the room, except for a table, chair, and cupboard.
Yuan Jing said: "Little junior brother, you are living here today, I see that you are also tired, so rest first." After the official apprenticeship tomorrow, we will be brothers in the same sect, so if there is anything, please come to the third senior brother. By the way, except for the senior brother who went out to run errands and didn't return, the other brothers were in the next yard, and there was something to do. ”
Liang Cheng hurriedly thanked his senior brother and then said goodbye, Liang Cheng sat alone in the room and didn't know what to do, it was the first time he had grown up to leave the care of the maid and maid, and he couldn't help but sit stunned and shed tears. After sitting for a while, the sky gradually darkened, Liang Cheng was a little scared in his heart, he didn't dare to sleep alone, and remembered what the third senior brother said about going to look for him if he had something to do, so he went out of the door and planned to go to the next yard.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a large room with the door closed and the windows shining with light. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a voice from inside: "I said Third Senior Brother, do you think this is fair? The new kid has his own quiet room, but we senior brothers are still crowded together, what kind of reason is this, what does Master think?" Then another voice echoed.
Liang Cheng thought that this was probably the second senior brother and the fourth senior brother complaining, so he couldn't help but stop the hand that was about to knock on the door.
"Come on, you don't look at your identity, is your noble son comparable to the three of us?" Yuan Jing's lazy voice sounded: "Hehe, don't say it, that little rabbit is dressed in fine skin and white meat, like a girl, and it makes people angry." ”
"Yes, why don't we go over and take a look at this precious little brother now, and take good care of him tonight, ah, haha. ”
When Liang Cheng heard this, his face turned red, and he ran back to his room, closed the door, and plugged in the latch.
Unexpectedly, his senior brothers were such people, Liang Cheng couldn't help but regret how he stayed, and thought: When my father comes next time, I must go home, and never stay here.
Liang Cheng didn't dare to close his eyes all night, and finally the sky brightened, and then there were a few knocks on the door. Liang Cheng said, "Who is it?" and replied outside: "It's me, Yuan Jing." Little junior brother, I'll take you to wash, and then I'm done to meet Master. Listening to Yuan Jing's still amiable voice, Liang Cheng felt a little disgusted, but he didn't know what to do, and Yuan Jing knocked on the door a few more times in a daze, but Liang Cheng opened the door with some vigilance.
Seeing that Liang Cheng's complexion was not good, Yuan Jing still asked this and that with great concern, Liang Cheng coped with it a little coldly, thinking about whether to tell the master about last night's incident. Later, I thought about it, I didn't arrange a few senior brothers in front of the master before I got started, I'm afraid it's not very appropriate, not to mention that they just complained behind their backs, and they didn't really offend themselves, so they still didn't mention it, and they were careful in the future.
More than an hour later, Liang Cheng was led into the main hall by the third senior brother, and saw the Qingxu Taoist standing solemnly in the center of the main hall, and there were two disciples standing beside him, presumably the second senior brother and the fourth senior brother who only heard his voice last night and did not see him.
Qingxu Daoist looked very good today, but he was more serious, and he looked at Liang Cheng and said, "Child, come here, I have something to ask you." ”
Liang Cheng walked over with some hesitation. Qingxu said: "Liang Cheng, are you willing to enter my door wall and worship me as a teacher?" Liang Cheng remembered that his father had told him to listen to the words of Qingxu Daoist yesterday, so he nodded yes, called Master, and bowed down.
Seeing that he agreed, Qingxu continued: "In this case, I will first tell you some of the ins and outs of this sect - this sect belongs to one of the Miaozhen sects of the Xiuzhen sect, called the Miaozhen Yunyin Sect, and the main altar is in the Yunyin Islands outside the East China Sea. Although not many people know about it in the mortal world, the sect is really thriving. The immeasurable view where we are located is only a small branch, and the teacher is presiding over it here, and in order to avoid trouble, we only say that we are a Taoist Shangqing sect. ”
Seeing that Liang Cheng didn't react, Qingxu sighed helplessly: "Alas, you are too young, and it seems that you don't understand much about these sect matters. You just need to remember that this sect is not an ordinary sect of cultivation, and if you can join my sect, you will be very blessed. Don't look at our Yunyin Sect is not well-known in the mortal world, but as long as it is a person who cultivates the truth, there is nothing that does not know. The four patriarchs of this sect are even more powerful and powerful. Calling for wind and rain, sprinkling beans into soldiers, and everything from heaven to earth is omnipotent. Now that you are destined to get started, you need to cherish it and work hard to cultivate!"
When Liang Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, and thought: "Good guy, Master Zu can call the wind and rain, and go to the sky and the earth." Isn't that an immortal!" and replied, "Yes, Master, disciple remember." ”
"Good. Qingxu showed a smile on his face and said: "There are many rules in this sect, I won't go into detail with you now, remember the general one, the instructions of the master must be respectful and correct." ”
"Master, what if the elders' orders are wrong?" Liang Cheng asked with some confusion.
"How could the venerable elder make a mistake!" Qingxu shouted sternly: "Liang Cheng! You have just started, I don't blame you for speaking like this for the time being, not next time! The experience and knowledge of the senior of the master is beyond the reach of the younger generation, but there are orders, you must be respectful and correct!"
"Yes, Master, the apprentice knows that he is wrong. Seeing that Qingxu, who had always been kind and pleasant, was a little angry, Liang Cheng didn't dare to say anything more.
"Okay, come and see a few of your senior brothers. Seeing Liang Cheng admit his mistake, Qingxu's tone softened, and said: "Your senior brother has not returned from going out to do business, this is your second senior brother Huo Yuan, and the third senior brother Yuan Jing You know, this is your fourth senior brother Jingming." ”
Several senior brothers were smiling at this time, and nodded at Liang Cheng, Liang Cheng still had a pimple in his heart because of last night's incident, but on the surface, he was not polite, so he had to give gifts one by one.
"Cheng'er, you can probably see that the Dao number of the senior brother of this sect is connected from end to end, you are my fifth disciple, so take the word 'Ming' in the Dao number of your fourth senior brother and you, and you will be called 'Ming Cheng' in the future. ”
"Yes, Master, Mingcheng remembered. Liang Cheng hurriedly agreed.
"Only I Xuanmen, why do you hold it? Yin and Yang Triad, what is the essence and what is the transformation?" Qingxu recited a few words in a low voice, paused, took a set of cloth robes and a booklet, and said: "Mingcheng, this is the most basic practice of Qi and heart in this door, for the teacher to hand it over to you today, you have to practice well, don't be sloppy if you don't understand, you must come to ask me, and the master will explain it to you in detail." Also, you have very different talents, which are completely different from your senior brothers, so you should not talk to them about the sealing and practicing qi and mind method, lest you go astray. Remember, remember. As he spoke, he glanced at the other apprentices and said, "You half-people must remember not to point fingers at him." ”
Yuan Jing and the others hurriedly said, "Yes, Master." ”
Liang Cheng thanked the master and hurriedly took the things. At this time, Qingxu handed Liang Cheng a small porcelain vase and said, "This is the elixir given to you by your Taiqing master and ancestor, this pill is called 'Dream Turning Blue Fly', which can dissolve your nightmares." There are 12 capsules in the bottle, and if you take one pill a month, you will be safe for a year. Your uncle and ancestor have gone to collect medicine for you this morning, and you can collect all the medicinal herbs in a year or a few months, so you don't have to worry about your illness. ”
Liang Cheng took the porcelain vase and was very moved, but he didn't expect this uncle to look cold, but he was so kind to himself.
"Mingcheng, people from outside us rarely pay attention to mundane affairs, otherwise it will be detrimental to the cultivation of the Tao. But in order to prevent you from being idle and bored, the teacher will arrange some errands for you. There is a medicine garden in the mountain behind this view, where your uncle Taiqing has always been in retreat, and now he has gone out to collect medicine for you, you go to live there and take care of the medicinal materials in the garden. There was originally a medicine boy there, and if there is anything you don't understand about the medicinal herbs, you can ask him. Okay, now you can each cultivate separately. ”
After a few senior brothers came out, Yuan Jing was also enthusiastic to send Liang Cheng to the medicine garden, Liang Cheng hurriedly said: "Thank you, third senior brother, the master said that this medicine garden is in the back mountain, and there is no fork in the road, so you won't go the wrong way, so you won't bother the senior brother." After saying that, he walked to the back mountain alone. Yuan Jing looked at his distant back and secretly spitted, and scolded in a low voice: "This little rabbit cub is really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people!
