Chapter 8 Conferring the Ordination and Passing on the Sutra [Seeking Collection, Seeking Recommendation]
Before dawn, Wang Sheng began to get busy.
Life on Wudang Mountain is also convenient, but in this small broken Taoist temple, taking a bath is actually a big problem, usually in the corner between the main house and the side house, pull a curtain, get a bucket of water to wash.
Apprenticeship is an absolute life event for Wang Sheng, and he took a shower very seriously today.
Even if the conditions are difficult, the boy's focus on scrubbing is a non-pulling.
When he came out of the bath, just as a mountain breeze passed through the hospital, Wang Sheng felt that every pore on his body was relaxing, as if his body was thirsting for something, and he was constantly absorbing something......
However, it is empty, and the recovery of the vitality of heaven and earth will be at least half a year.
Half......
Master, who has been practicing for decades, can't compare, and Senior Sister's state of mind is uncomplicated, and it is a little difficult to surpass it from cultivating from childhood to eighteen years old.
But if you grit your teeth and work hard, you may still be able to see the back of your senior sister on the road of cultivation.
Today, when I officially get started, the master may preach to himself, but these are not forced, and it has already exceeded my expectations to be able to worship under the disciple of the 'Unspoken Taoist', and I don't dare to ask too much at this time.
If you behave better, and the vitality of heaven and earth has recovered, the master will not treat you badly.
"Wang Sheng, come and see, are you wearing this suit?"
The shouts of the master came from the side room, and Wang Sheng put down the bucket containing the dirty clothes, and ran over with his hair wet.
Qing Yanzi handed over a brand-new robe, and there was a white robe under the robe, similar to the common practice clothes in the martial arts hall.
Wang Sheng grinned, carefully unfolded the robe, put it on his body, and looked back and forth.
This is the most serious formal dress for people in the immortal road in the future!
"Thank you, Master!"
"Don't thank me, your father had to transfer money to the teacher a few days ago, saying that it was your tuition and miscellaneous fees," Qing Yanzi chuckled, "The admonition on this piece of paper was memorized before noon." ”
"Yes, Master. ”
Wang Sheng tidied up the robe, took the blank paper given by the master, and thought that he could see the master's hand with a fairy bone rhyme, but he opened it and looked at it......
These No. 4 Song characters are so neat!
After reading it a little, it is an introductory admonition, but there are no too special rules, they are all to persuade disciples to be kind.
When Wang Sheng looked up again, the master had already walked out of the courtyard gate with his hands behind his back, and he seemed to be in a good mood, walking much brisker than usual.
When I returned to the main house, I was surprised to find that the main house had been set up.
A somewhat yellowed portrait of Sanqing is hung in the middle hall, and the incense case below has also been lit with fragrance, and the green smoke curls slowly.
Wang Sheng blinked, Wudang Mountain should be the Emperor Zhenwu, thinking of what the master had said before that he was only named in Wudang Mountain, and what he knew, when Qingyanzi became famous, it didn't seem to have a direct relationship with Wudang Mountain......
Their vein may not be the same as the Taoist inheritance of Wudang Mountain.
There is a tablet on the main case, on which the word 'heaven and earth' is written, and the ink has not dried.
There is the position of Lu Zu under heaven and earth, and it is obvious that the master's faction should recognize Lu Zu as the ancestor.
Senior Sister was happily humming the tunes of Taoist music often played in Zixiao Palace, fiddling with two boxes of dim sum bought from the mountain.
After she put the dim sum on the plate, she stared at the side, as if she was thinking about whether she could destroy the molasses on the spot when her junior brother finished worshipping her teacher at noon.
Wang Sheng greeted, "Senior sister, put your dirty clothes in the bucket, I'm fine in the morning, I'll go wash my clothes later." ”
"Hmm!"
The senior sister answered without replying, pursed her lips, and almost dripped out of her saliva.
Wang Sheng shook his head and chuckled, senior sister really hasn't grown up.
Ran back to his inner room, excitedly changed into his robe and kung fu clothes, and found that a pair of brand-new cloth shoes were placed at the end of the bed at some point, trying to fit just right.
It's quite decent to dress up in a full set.
It's just that the hair is too short......
Without Master's long flowing hair, flying around in the air in the future will be a little less chic.
After being rare for a long time, and afraid of soiling the 'ceremony' of the transmission at noon, Wang Sheng took off and folded the first robe in his life and changed it back into his shorts and shirt.
When he came out of the back room, he saw a few more girls' clothes in the bucket.
It is......
An ordinary pair of women's underwear quietly occupied the commanding heights of dirty clothes, making Wang Sheng blush a little embarrassed.
"Senior sister, I'm going to do the laundry. ”
"Uh-huh!"
The senior sister turned her head and made a cheering gesture, and Wang Sheng rummaged through the dirty clothes in the bucket without a trace, and covered the underwear with other clothes, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
It's still not enough to cultivate the mind.
Not only does Wang Sheng feel that apprenticeship is a major event in life, but accepting apprentices is not a trivial matter for Qing Yanzi.
Wang Sheng hadn't seen his master have any contact with any Taoist master on weekdays, but at noon, Qing Yanzi invited two gray-haired old Taoist leaders as witnesses to the ceremony.
When everything was arranged, the two witnesses also sat down with a smile on the side, and Qing Yanzi changed into the brand-new robe that could not be worn once a month, and sat in the main hall.
Mu Wanxuan clapped her hands in the outhouse, and the apprenticeship ceremony officially began.
Wang Sheng took a breath, raised his head with his chest straight, straightened the corners of his robe, held a wooden ruler, and didn't know what it meant, so he lowered his head and walked out of the back room.
The two Dao Masters also looked at Wang Sheng for a while, and finally nodded with a smile and didn't say much.
Qing Yanzi stood up and said with a smile: "The conditions are limited, and the matter of apprenticeship has to be simplified." Where is Wang Sheng? Come forward first. ”
"The disciple is here. ”
"Get on your knees. ”
Wang Sheng held a wooden ruler in his hand and knelt on the futon in front of the desk.
Qing Yanzi continued: "Since you are a beginner, you must be a famous teacher. Our lineage is passed down from the ancestor Lu Zu, and the ancestor is a disciple of Lu Zu, but although there is a Tao inheritance, it has not been set up in the mountain gate. It has been passed on to the teacher for 1,200 years, and the Taoist inheritance has never been broken. ”
The two old Taoist elders on the side stroked their beards and nodded.
"After you get started, you must know that you are a cultivator, the Tao, pay attention to the law of heaven and earth, respect for ancestors, filial piety to parents, and obedience to teachers.
"The disciple understands. ”
Qing Yanzi nodded with satisfaction, looked down at the note in his palm, and then said:
"After you get started, you are a 'language' generation, your senior sister is silent, and your Tao is non-language. ”
"Thank you Master for the name. ”
Non-linguistic, non-linguistic?
Although it is a little unpleasant to read, but it is the turn of the language generation on the teacher's side, so there is no way, it is much better than 'language' and 'riddle'.
Wang Sheng was worried that the master wanted him to learn to be open-minded and give him a 'non-stop speech'.
Fortunately, this wave of masters played relatively smoothly.
The apprenticeship ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner according to the process, and when Qing Yanzi took the precept ruler and asked Wang Sheng to recite the precepts written on the blank paper he gave him before, Wang Sheng memorized each one, and Qing Yanzi would use a wooden ruler to gently knock on Wang Sheng's shoulder, which was regarded as having received the ordination.
"One is not evil, and all beings should be remembered;
neither of them is adulterous, and they do not offend women;
The three do not steal, do not take non-property;
The four do not deceive the good and the cowardly......"
There are ten precepts in total, and Wang Sheng memorized them one by one, and in this transmission ceremony, most of his tasks were completed.
Then, when he arrived at the case, he opened a green cloth package with great care, and there was a rusty copper box inside, and under the copper box was a book of ancient scriptures that looked like fifty percent new.
"Today, I will pass on a volume of the true scriptures left by the pure yang immortals of your own sect, and copy it with you for half a month, and the foundation of future cultivation should follow this scripture. ”
"Master Xie passed on the Fa. ”
Although Wang Sheng didn't think that this would be a method of cultivating immortals, when the master put this scripture in his hands and let him hold it, Wang Sheng inexplicably felt some weight.
This is the teacher's inheritance.
The old Taoist on the side said with a smile: "It's time to kowtow, first knock on the avenue, then worship the scriptures, thank the teacher three times, every three bows, you can enter as a disciple of the Daomen, today we will do this testimony for you." ”
"Yes," Wang Sheng responded, first holding the scripture to his side, bowing three times to the portrait of Sanqing, then putting the scripture in front of him, bowing three times to the scripture, and then bowing three times to the master.
After the ceremony, Wang Sheng also felt as if there was something more on his shoulders.
Qing Yanzi said with a smile: "In this way, you are my second disciple, and in the future, you should abide by the precepts and seek the truth." This door is not taboo to be born, not to get married, loyalty, benevolence and filial piety must always be remembered, do not let the teacher and he have to clean up the door. ”
Wang Sheng's heart sank.
The master said this purely to remind him, but Wang Sheng only thought that if he did something rebellious, he would be chased and killed by the unspoken Tao......
This is not a joke.
"The disciple will not disappoint the master. ”
"Get up," Qing Yanzi stepped forward, Wang Sheng stood up, the master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled, and there was a snapping applause on the side.
These two old Taoist elders can be regarded as quite face-saving, and their hands are red.
Qing Yanzi said: "The two of you will clean up this place and accompany the two uncles to eat for the teacher." ”
Obviously, when the two veterans came to participate in such a ceremony, they could also have a mixed meal.
Wang Sheng and his senior sister sent the two uncles out of the mountain gate together, and Qing Yanzi said that he would bring them food back, and then drifted away.
"Senior sister!"
Wang Sheng suddenly turned his head and shouted, Mu Wanxuan blinked, waiting for Wang Sheng's later text.
"It's time for a snack. ”
"Wow!"
Mu Wanxuan woke up like a dream, and ran towards the middle hall with a smoke, Wang Sheng's eyes were full of flowers, but he couldn't see the action of the senior sister turning around.
Probably, this is the big guy.
The copper box had been put away by the master, and the scriptures were still there, and the words 'transcription without words' were clearly written on it, which was obviously copied and written by the master in his early years.
Wang Sheng held this ancient book and began to read it with relish, originally he thought it was just an ordinary Taoist scripture, but after reading one, he was slightly dry and sweaty......
'There are five deficiencies in man, and there are five elements in the Tao. Angry and condensed, abstain to the peak. ’
This is......
'Gu Xi Taixuan, Shen Xi Dao, Gu Shen is immortal, for the root of heaven and earth. God can be spiritual, the valley can be peaceful, and the Taoist keeps one, so far immortal. ’
Immortal formula!
Taught by Lu Zu himself, a complete set of general outlines and full formulas of cultivation exercises!
There is also a detailed division of the realm of monasticism!
Although these are implicit in various ancient literary contexts, Wang Sheng has studied this kind of text for more than ten years, how can he not see the meaning of these ancient words?
Condensation, Concentration, Pregnancy, Void Pill, Jindan......
This?
Even if the Heaven and Earth Xuan Qi is not there, this should be the core of the Dao Inheritance!
Just look at the first few paragraphs of the mantra, the truth contained in it, and the exercises recorded are several times more profound than the basic exercises that I practiced in my previous life!
Wang Sheng couldn't help but moan, feeling more and more that he had died too much in his previous life......
"Ahh
A small white hand reached out in front of him, and two fingers pinched a piece of candied fruit.
"Hmm!"
Wang Sheng swallowed the dim sum in one mouth, smirked happily at his senior sister, and began to read it eagerly.
I couldn't read three articles, and many of the doubts that had plagued me for years in my previous life were answered, and I suddenly felt that the road ahead was suddenly clear.
When he was rising, Wang Sheng beat his chest and slapped his thighs in various ways, and the senior sister who provoked him giggled non-stop.
But soon, Mu Wanxuan seemed to remember something.
'If the children from the city are normal in all respects, who would be willing to send them to the mountains to suffer?'
A certain master's sigh seemed to be still in her ears, and this senior sister looked at the little junior brother's gaze with more and more pity......
