In the early morning of the next day, after Yun Yi got up and freshened up, he helped Zhu Xiaoqing cook porridge and rice, and sent a copy to Wang Xiaoshu when he was finished, and handed over the white jade ring to her by the way, apologizing to her, because Wang's mansion had already been burned, and he couldn't help Wang Xiaoshu collect the bodies of her parents.

Wang Xiaoshu took Bai Yuhuan and wept silently, and did not touch the porridge and rice on the table.

"What is this?" Yun Yi asked as he looked at the white jade ring in her hand, he only knew that this thing was an ornament on his finger, but he didn't know what it was called.

"Hammer," Wang Xiaoshu raised her hand to wipe her tears: "My father liked archery when he was alive, and he always wore this jade hammer on the thumb of his right hand to prevent his fingers from being strained by the bowstring." ”

Yun Yi nodded, and was about to persuade her to eat gruel, when he heard Zhu Xiaoqing's voice calling him outside.

Yun Yi went out in confusion when he heard this, didn't Zhu Xiaoqing send porridge and rice to the other three, how could he come to look for him?

"The fat man has a fever, and his body is like a stove, so go and see it." Zhu Xiaoqing had a sad face.

"I'll go see him, and you go and tell Master. Hearing this, Yun Yi hurriedly ran to the fat man's room.

When I entered the fat man's room, I saw that the fat man was lying on the kang at this time, with a wet towel on his forehead.

When I got closer, I saw that the fat man's lips were dry and wrinkled, and he was in a coma at this time, muttering in his mouth, and his face was frightened, as if he was having a nightmare.

Seeing this situation, Yun Yi reached out to test the fat man's body temperature, but he didn't know if he didn't try, and he was startled when he tried it, the fat man's body temperature was abnormally high, and he was very hot. Thinking of the cold last night, I knew that the fat man was infected with the wind cold.

Although the fat man looks fat, his qi and blood are not deficient, his physique is better than him, he is fine, why did the fat man catch the wind cold?

Just as he was confused, Zuo Ci pushed the door in, raised his eyes to look at the fat man, turned his head and asked, "Where did you two go yesterday?"

"I went to Wang's Mansion last night, and I wanted to collect the bodies of her parents for Sister Xiaoshu, but I didn't expect Wang's Mansion to be burned to ashes by Dong Zhuo's old thief. Yun Yi replied.

"Has anything weird happened?" Zuo Ci asked.

"He was caught by a ghost, and the ghost spoke through the mouth of the fat man at that time, and the tone seemed to be Xiaoshu's sister and her father. Yun Yi was stunned and said, "The fat man won't have an accident, right?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the yang energy was damaged by the ghost's upper body, so I contracted the wind cold, and I just took two pairs of medicines. Zuo Ci shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Don't run blindly if you have nothing to do in the future, you are not a begging ghost, otherwise you two should have confessed to Wang Mansion last night." ”

Yun Yi hurriedly nodded and agreed, the fat man is fine, otherwise he will have to live in guilt and grief for the rest of his life.

Leaving the fat man's room, Zuo Ci prepared two pairs of medicines and let Yun Yi take them to the torment. The fat man took it once in the morning and once in the evening, and the next day the high fever subsided, and he returned to his vigorous state.

In the early morning of the next day, Zuo Ci summoned everyone to the main hall to officially accept Wang Xiaoshu to enter the school, and when Wang Xiaoshu had completed the number of apprenticeship rites after three bows and nine knocks, the status of master and apprentice was decided.

Subsequently, Zuo Ci gave the statue of the patriarch sitting on the Eight Treasures Exquisite Throne on the offering table to everyone, and gave the Taoist name, the inscription and all kinds of Taoist instruments.

Yunyi was born as a beggar and had many vices in the market, so Zuo Ci gave the name "Yunshui Qing", which means "good governance of water".

The fat man belongs to the kind of person who is rough and leafy, and Zuo Ci gave him a nice Taoist name "Thunder".

Although Mo Luli is silent and stays at home on weekdays, he asks to use "Fuyao" as the Taoist name, taking the meaning of "those who go up to the top for 90,000 miles, and those who go to rest in June" in the Taoist classic "Zhuangzi", which shows that his heart is not as conservative as it appears on the outside.

Zhu Xiaoqing was the first to worship under Zuo Ci, Zuo Ci had high hopes for him, but he didn't like the fireworks on him, so he gave him the name "Yichen".

Wang Xiaoshu is a woman, born in a famous family, because of her generosity and gentleness, manners, and quite a fairy style, so she is called "Yuzhen".

Taoism has nine grades, one is the most nine-grade for the end, Zuo Ci awarded everyone is the second grade of the Qing Xuan Zhen Zheng, as for the first product of the Qing Cave Zhen Zhen is only for the next head of the teaching.

The Taoist priest acts on behalf of the heavens, and the Gong is the letter of appointment issued by the Heavenly Court to the Taoist.

The Daomen is a heavy talisman, and the spell is the text and language that communicates the heavens and the earth, all-encompassing, the pivotal yin and the yang, and the power of the spirit to send the gods to resist the ghosts.

And the seal of the law has the same meaning as the seal of the official in the world, and without the seal of the law, no matter how many symbols are drawn, it will not work.

Everyone burned incense and knelt down to worship the patriarch of the sect. Zuo Ci told them about their denomination.

Zuo Ci is the head of the Yuchen faction, and the Taoist system comes from the Yuchen Daojun of the Shangqing Realm, holding the doctrine of teaching no kind, focusing on spiritual cultivation, and the spells mainly rely on charms.

The Yuchen faction had an accident many years ago, and there was a fault in the inheritance of the Taoist system, and the disciples in the sect were scattered, leaving only Zuo Ci alone.

What happened to the Yuchen faction, Zuo Ci didn't say in detail, and everyone didn't dare to ask more. I only know that Zuo Ci's teaching of the Dao Law to everyone was not a whim, but was done by the oracle of the patriarch.

Subsequently, Zuo Ci led everyone to the east hall, sat down in turn, and taught everyone the precepts.

"The people in the Taoist sect are not informal, but they have all kinds of precepts, and you must keep them in mind. Zuo Ci said: "When you enter my Yuchen lineage, you should eat less meat and three hates." ”

"What are the five meat and three disgusts?" the fat man stretched out his finger and poked Yun Yi's back of the waist.

Yun Yi didn't know either, so he could only shake his head in response.

Zuo Ci glanced up at the fat man sitting in the back row, and said, "Five meat is shallot, garlic, leek, and coriander." The so-called three disgusts, the sky is tired of birds, the earth is tired of animals, and the water is tired of aquariums. ”

"Why can't you eat these?" Yun Yi understood what the five meat and three disgusts were, and gave birth to new questions.

"All things in heaven and earth are differentiated by yin and yang, and then derived from the five elements. The cultivation of the Taoist sect is to gather a cluster of five elements to return to yin and yang, and the spells are more taboo and filthy, and the five meats are bitter and smelly, the food is dizzy, the five qi are not in harmony, and the casting of spells will also be limited, which is the harm of the five meats. Zuo Ci patiently explained: "Eating too much poultry meat and losing consciousness, eating too much animal meat to block qi, eating too much meat of the aquarium and damaging the essence, the turbidity in the body is difficult to eliminate, and it is also not conducive to cultivation." ”

"Then you can't eat meat from now on?" Yun Yi was very frustrated, he and the fat man rarely saw meat, and he was very longing.

Zuo Ci shook his head slightly: "The Taoist sect advocates fasting and fasting the five meats and three disgusts in order to facilitate cultivation, and it is not completely prohibited. However, geese have the friendship of husband and wife, dogs have the friendship of the master, and mullet has a sense of filial piety, no matter what, these three things cannot be eaten, so as to show that heaven praises good and depreciates evil, and admonishes the world not to go astray. In addition, cattle can not be eaten, cattle have merit to the world, harmless to the people, do not dare to use it unless sacrificing heaven and earth, and dare not enjoy it unless worshipping the gods. ”

Yun Yi nodded, Zuo Ci said it plainly enough, but he had not been in contact with the Dao Sect before, he didn't know anything about cultivation, and there were still many places that he didn't understand, but he continued not to ask.

"There are three questions about Taoism: one does not ask about longevity, two does not ask about red dust and mundane things, and three does not ask about family origin. Taoist people are noble in life and evil in death, and the level of enlightenment and cultivation of truth and virtue has nothing to do with the size of the vulgar age, so it is not said that longevity. Taoist people take the Tao as a thing, avoid unprovoked words and deeds, pull right and wrong, and family origin. ”

"There are three things that don't say: don't say anything about dreams in the morning, don't say anything about killing at noon, and don't say anything about ghosts and gods at night. Morning is a plan for the day, Taoists seek truth from facts, do not talk about illusory dreams, so they do not dream early. At noon, it is extremely sunny, and it is contrary to the virtue of good life, so it is not said to kill at noon. At night, the sun disappears and the yin is long, and it is easy to attract disasters when talking about ghosts and gods, so I don't talk about ghosts and gods at night. ”

"There are three more ......"

"Master, I have questions. Yun Yi raised his hand and interrupted Zuo Ci's words.

"Come on. Zuo Ci raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"Why are we all orphans?" Yun Yi scratched his head.

Zuo Ci frowned and was puzzled when he heard this, and suddenly realized after thinking about it, guessing that he should have wanted to ask, "Why are the disciples you accepted all orphans", but the expression was wrong.

After pondering for a moment, Zuo Ci said: "The Tao is impermanent, and there is no normality, and it cannot be manifested if it is separated from humanity. If the Taoist does not ask about mundane affairs, he does not do household affairs, if he is fully humane, he will definitely give birth to a lot of concerns, and it is difficult to concentrate his mind, and it will be difficult for the Taoist law to be completed. You don't have any family bonds, which is conducive to cultivation. ”

Zuo Ci solved his doubts, so everyone understood his good intentions, and they all felt the kindness of the teacher, and got up to give a salute.

Everything has its two sides, although everyone understands Zuo Ci's good intentions, but it also adds a bit of sadness, after sitting down, they all bow their heads and brows, and the atmosphere in the room instantly becomes depressing.

Seeing this, Zuo Ci frowned slightly, coughed lightly twice, and everyone came back to their senses when they heard the cough, and Zuo Ci continued to speak.

said that he was preaching, but in fact, Zuo Ci did not preach the scriptures, and what he said was the rules that he should follow as a Taoist.

Yun Yi sat with a pain in his back, adjusted his sitting posture from time to time, and Zuo Ci did not teach Xuanqi spells, so he felt bored after listening to it for a long time, and he didn't pay attention to what Zuo Ci said later.

"Are you very anxious?" Zuo Ci noticed Yun Yi's small movements, frowned and asked.

When everyone heard this, they turned their heads to look at him, all of them had a look of laughter, Yun Yi bowed his head in embarrassment, and didn't dare to move anymore.

Zuo Ci didn't delve into it, retracted his gaze, and continued to talk about the precepts of Taoism.

Halfway through the conversation, there was a burst of snoring from the audience, which was softer at first, and gradually became heavier.

The three people in the front row thought it was Yun Yi who was doing the trick and turned their heads to look at him. Yun Yi waved his hand again and again, and raised his hand to point at the fat man behind him.

Everyone looked at the fat man again, and saw that the fat man was already asleep with his head bowed at this time, snoring like thunder, and a string of saliva dripping from time to time was still hanging from the corner of his mouth, wetting the robe on his chest.

Yun Yi pushed the fat man: "The steamed cake is paste." ”

"I'll eat ...... if you're confused," the fat man whispered, not waking up from a sound sleep.

Everyone had already been holding back their hard work, and they laughed loudly when they heard the words.

"It's unbearable!" Zuo Ci got up and swept off the podium, grabbed the back collar of the fat man's robe and threw him out of the door.

The fat man's screams came from outside the door, and everyone laughed again. But seeing Zuo Ci's gloomy and ugly face, he immediately covered his mouth and forced a smile, turned around and sat upright.

Zuo Ci sat back on the futon, his face was swept away, and he continued to talk about the rules of the Daomen.

Although Yun Yi was still bored listening to it, with the lesson of the fat man, he didn't dare to make any more small moves.

The fat man pressed his back with one hand, and walked into the house with a wailing cry, and when he saw Zuo Ci on the stage, he raised his eyes to look at him, hurriedly closed his mouth, and returned to the futon to sit down.

Zuo Ci talked about the Taoist precepts all morning, and when he saw that everyone was tired, he raised his hand and said, "It's all gone, come back when Shen Shi comes." Then he got up and left.

Yun Yi saw Zuo Ci go out, rubbed his sore legs and got up to stretch, and whispered: "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, there are so many stinky rules, it's not informal." ”

"Damn, it hurts me to death. "Only now did the fat man dare to rub his buttocks, which had been injured by the fall earlier.

Mo Luli and Wang Xiaoshu are the children of official eunuchs, and they behave decently, although they also sit with a sore back, they do not stretch their waists like Yun Yi.

Mo Luli greeted everyone and left first. Zhu Xiaoqing was also deeply tired, and had no intention of talking, so he went back to the house for a lunch break.

The sadness in Wang Xiaoshu's heart had not yet dissolved, so Yun Yi talked to her to relieve her boredom.

The fat man never left, and Yun Yi never mentioned Wang Xiaoshu's name to him, so he came over and asked Wang Xiaoshu's name.

"My name is Wang Xiaoshu, taken from the 'Jing Nu Qishu' in the Book of Songs. Wang Xiaoshu was in a bad mood, but she still responded to the fat man out of courtesy.

"Do you want to be particular about naming it?" asked the fat man, grinning.

Wang Xiaoshu nodded, taking Yun Yi as an example: "'Yi' refers to people who are good at archery, so anyone who is good at archery can be called 'Yi'." ”
