Chapter 6 Entering Xuanyuan for the first time
After Senior Brother Feng finished speaking, he ignored everyone and walked straight towards Baiyu Square.
Everyone didn't dare to ask more, so they only followed silently.
After the group walked to the square, Senior Brother Feng pointed to the three halls located in front of him and said: "The middle hall is the Chuan Gong Pavilion, the left hall can receive the needs of a month of practice, the right hall is the lecture hall, there is a Tibetan scripture pavilion on the back mountain, and you can choose your own house on the east and west sides, please take it." ”
After speaking, he walked away from the back mountain without looking back, leaving a group of people looking at each other.
In the end, Yuan Qing and Zhu Ling'er decided to go to the east of Houshan to find a house to settle down; the three people in military uniforms seemed to have the same idea, but in different directions, they chose the west; and the four little fat men seemed to want to go to the main hall on the left side to see the situation first.
At the same time, in a courtyard in front of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion in the back mountain, Senior Brother Feng was reporting to Xu Jingtian: "Senior Brother Xu, nine people are qualified, and the three of them have sensed the vitality of heaven and earth in the formation to practice qi. ”
Xu Jingtian replied: "West Wind, can the relevant matters be arranged?"
Senior Brother Feng replied, "Everything is all right. ”
Xu Jingtian looked at Feng Xifeng, who looked calm. Half-loud, Xu Jingtian smiled bitterly: "That's it, you go down, call Senior Brother Tian Yi over." ”
Feng Xifeng retired after a little salute, and not long after, a chubby Taoist wearing an apricot yellow robe came to greet him: "Senior Brother Xu, you look for me." ”
"Senior Brother Tian, it is Senior Brother Feng who receives all the disciples today. Xu Jingtian didn't say much when he said this, Tian Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and then smiled bitterly.
"Senior Brother Xu, I understand. With Senior Brother Feng's temperament, most of these new disciples didn't know what to do at this time. I'll tell them more about it tomorrow. ”
"There is Senior Brother Lao Tian. Xu Jingtian replied
"If nothing else, the junior brother will retire. Tian Yi also returned the salute, and then retired.
Yuan Qing and Zhu Ling'er had already walked to the east of Houshan at this time, and what they saw was a lush bamboo forest, scattered with simple and exquisite bamboo houses, and many older disciples came and went in it.
The two chose two adjacent bamboo houses deep in the bamboo forest, and there was a small stream flowing next to the inner one.
The room was clean and bright, with a futon, a small bamboo square table, a small incense burner, a bamboo bed, and nothing else.
The bamboo houses in the forest are all of the same configuration, and the two discussed that they would settle down first, and then go to the left hall together to see if there was anything to receive.
After the two settled down, they came to the left side hall, and saw a gray-haired old man lying on a rocking chair with his eyes closed.
Yuan Qing stepped forward and saluted and said, "Excuse me seniors for the retreat, the two of us are new disciples, and we have come to receive the cultivation materials we need for this month." ”
I saw that the old man waved his hand, and there were two more green and two white porcelain vases on the long table in front of him, two wooden tokens, two fist-sized night pearls, and two sets of plain Taoist robes, and then two small bags flew out of the bamboo basket behind him and landed on the table.
From beginning to end, the old man's eyes never opened.
Seeing this, Yuan Qing and Zhu Ling'er had no choice but to take their own things and leave.
Then the two of them went to the Gong Pavilion and were told that the senior brother's lecture had ended this month, and although they didn't know what the lecture was, they could only leave.
When he arrived at the lecture hall on the right, one person received three books, which were "Xuanyuan Tongjian", "Tao Te Ching" and "Zhou Yi".
Yuan saw that there were many futons in this scripture pavilion, as if it were a school, and he thought to himself: Could it be that this monastic still has to go to school?
Seeing that it was getting late, the two discussed going back to their residence first, and the rest of the pavilion and the rest of the place would wait until tomorrow.
After Yuan Qing returned to his residence, he put down the Taoist robe and books, and then took out two porcelain bottles, one green and one white, and opened them only to see that there were three orange-yellow pills the size of little fingers in the green bottle, and there was a light blue pill the size of a dragon's eye in the white bottle.
After pondering for a moment, he finally closed the porcelain vase and put it away close to his body. Then he picked up the book "Xuanyuan Tongjian" and flipped through it by the light of the night pearl.
After about a stick of incense, he suddenly got up and picked up the fish intestine dagger and made a gap in his finger, and by taking the wooden token from his bosom, he dripped blood onto the token.
I saw that the blood was absorbed and disappeared in an instant on the token, and then Yuan Qing walked outside the house, and it was seen that there was a gray-white stone tablet on the left side of the bamboo house.
Yuan Qing did not hesitate to put the token in his hand on the groove, with a soft sound, and then with this stone tablet as the center, a faint white light curtain rose up within a radius of three zhang, and the light curtain quickly faded and disappeared.
Seeing this, Yuan returned to the house, first opened the white porcelain bottle, took the light blue pill, and then changed into a plain robe, and then picked up the night pearl and walked to the middle of the house, looking up, there was exactly a circular groove, and when he threw it upward, the night pearl was tightly adsorbed in the groove, and the room was suddenly full of light.
Then, Yuan Qing returned to the table and sat down cross-legged, opened the cyan porcelain bottle, poured out a pill and took it, and then picked up the "Xuanyuan Tongjian" and read it hard.
The next morning, there was a slight mist in the forest, Yuan Qing woke up from his meditation, got up and picked up the storage bag to concentrate for a moment, aimed at the square table, only to see a flash of white light, and the books and vials on the table disappeared.
Yuan Qing put the storage bag into the secret compartment in his sleeve, and was about to go out, when he seemed to remember something, stopped in place and stretched out his palm, only to see a white porcelain bottle suddenly appear in his hand, and then disappear, followed by "Xuanyuan Tongjian", and then "Tao Te Ching...... It wasn't until everything appeared and disappeared again that he nodded with satisfaction and went out.
When I went out, I saw Zhu Ling'er standing quietly not far away, wearing a slightly large robe, with a bun and bright teeth, like a Taoist boy who came out of a painting.
Seeing Yuan Qing come out, Zhu Ling'er said with a smile: "I see that you have also risen this dust array, presumably the "Xuanyuan Tongjian" should have been read, right?" The voice was crisp and pleasant, like the birdsong in the forest in the morning.
"It's still early, I only had time to read the Xuanyuan disciples' rules and precepts and the common sense of cultivation, and the part that involves the formation pill refining device will be read later. Speaking of which, Senior Brother Feng is really irresponsible, he doesn't say anything, if it wasn't mentioned in the book, I'm afraid I would have missed this morning class. ”
"Let's go, I'm going to get the magic weapon after the morning class. ”
The two walked and chatted on the bamboo forest path, and the white figures gradually melted together, and then disappeared.
When Yuan Qing and Zhu Ling'er came to the Chuangong Pavilion, there were already more than ten new disciples wearing Taoist robes who were about the same age as themselves sitting in the hall, and the nine people who participated in the trial together were all there, except for the honest-looking young man and the girl in pink.
In front of the disciples there was an ink-colored bookcase, and behind them sat a Taoist chief wearing an apricot yellow robe, with two mustaches on his round face, looking kind and rich.
The two of them found a position in the middle and sat down, and said no more.
In a short time, there were almost twenty people sitting in the hall, and the honest boy and the girl in pink also came at the end, and the two were also wearing Taoist robes, but the girl seemed to be angry, and was somewhat reluctant to be pulled by the honest boy to the corner of the last row to sit down.
With a bell ringing, the Taoist behind the bookcase opened his eyes and stood up, looked at everyone slightly, and then smiled, and said: "Congratulations to all the junior brothers and sisters for passing the trial and officially entering the Xuanyuan Lower Sect from today, my surname is Tian, and my single name is a change of words, and you can call me a senior brother." ”
Tian Yi coughed lightly twice, and said while pacing: "It was Senior Brother Feng who received you yesterday, Senior Brother Feng is cold by nature, and he is not dissatisfied with all of you, so some matters have not been stated. However, today, when I see your junior brothers and sisters, you should know that you are smart people, so I will add to Senior Brother Feng below.
The Gonggong Pavilion has a lecture on the fifteenth day of each month and the end of the month before the time to the unitary time, and it is the senior brothers of each senior brother who explains the exercises and techniques, and the alchemy system. There is a gentleman who lectures on the scriptures from the time of the lecture hall every day to the time of the lecture hall, which lasts for three years, and after three years, there is a small examination, and those who fail to pass will be expelled from the teacher immediately. The consular room can receive a bottle of Bigu Dan every month, three pills, which can be taken for more than 10 days without eating and drinking, and a dust-proof pill, which will be cleaned within one month after taking it. ”
"New beginners can receive a copy of "Xuanyuan Tongjian", a number of moral classics, a set of dust-breaking robes, a self-selected magic weapon, and a cave formation order. After the formation order drip blood to recognize the master, it can stimulate the residence formation, this formation can prevent wild beasts from trespassing, and can also repel mosquitoes and insects. ”
"The Houshan Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is divided into three layers, the first floor is some landscape minutes, geographical customs, the second layer is secular martial arts, medical books and pharmacopoeia, and the third layer is the practice of exercises, spell scriptures. The first and second floors can be viewed at will, and the third floor can only be entered once a month for two hours at a time. It is forbidden to take out or transcribe books in the cabinet. ”
Tian Yi said this, sat down after returning to the bookcase, turned over his hand and took out a set of red sandalwood tea sets, and after making tea and drinking, he continued: "You junior disciples should carefully read the "Xuanyuan Tongjian", which covers formations, talismans, alchemy, and refining tools. Now that you have entered the Xuanyuan Lower Sect, you should know that there is an Upper Sect. ”
"Before the age of 30, those who have built a foundation or can come out on top in the once-in-a-decade competition should be able to enter the upper sect to practice, and the remaining people may apply to the sect to open up branches and find other opportunities, or they can stay in the lower sect and become a deacon and preach the scriptures and teachings for the new disciples. Of course, if there is any elder hall master of the upper sect who accepts you as a disciple, you will have a bright future. Do you still have any doubts?"
All the disciples were silent, as if they were still digesting what Tian Yi said.
Seeing this, Tian Yi did not urge, leisurely made another cup of tea, tasted the tea and waited.
After a while, I saw someone on the right hand side of the second row get up to salute, and then asked, "Dare to ask Senior Brother Tian, I didn't make any registration records when I went to the consular room yesterday, how does Senior Brother Consul know about the month period for each person? What if someone receives more pills within a month?"
Tian Yi smiled slightly and explained: "Since the time you dripped blood and recognized the main formation order, the relevant information, including the eight characters of birth, has been recorded, and when you receive the pill every month, you will go with the order. By the way, I forgot to say that the formation order can be taken down after the formation is activated, and the formation will stop after a month. Of course, if all of you here do that stealing or imposting for the sake of Bigu Dan, you don't want this immortal fate. When it comes to the last sentence, there is a bit of sternness.
Then, the girl in the last row got up and asked, "Senior Brother Tian, I have been on the mountain for more than 20 years, can I have the opportunity to go home to visit my relatives?"
I saw Tian Yi's rare positive color replied: "Since the day you set foot on the immortal road, you should be enlightened, the separation of immortals and mortals is like a moat, and the cultivator should wave his sword to break the dust, and seek the Tao wholeheartedly, so as to live up to this great opportunity." ”
The little girl was stunned for a moment, and then sat down with red eyes.
At this time, Yuan Qing got up, and after seeing the salute, he asked, "Dare to ask Senior Brother Tian, what is an immortal?"
Tian Yi listened, glanced at Yuan Qing with a little appreciation, and said after a moment of silence: "I have only cultivated so far, and it is difficult to see immortals on the camera, so naturally I don't know what an immortal is." But I know why I want to cultivate this immortal. Dare to ask all the junior disciples, why do you want to cultivate immortals?"
