Chapter 10 Incense Worship
And when they came to the hall of the heart of Dening, they saw a beautiful woman standing in front of the door.
Chen Jianping was slightly stunned, and Geng Jingyun immediately said: "Little junior brother, this is our master, this is our master's new apprentice." ”
Chen Jianping hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed, and said: "Disciple Chen Jianping, meet the master, the disciple doesn't know that the master is here, and he neglects the etiquette, and I hope the master will not be surprised." ”
Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "Good boy, get up quickly, you don't have to be formal." ”
He looked up and said to Lu Zhengshan with a smile: "How old are you now, and you are still thinking about accepting apprentices." ”
Lu Zhengshan laughed and said, "This kid is destined for me, so I will accept him." ”
Mrs. Lu looked at Chen Jianping again and said with a smile: "It's not bad, it's just that I'm so weak, I'm afraid it's a bad foundation, but I have to recuperate well." ”
Chen Jianping bowed down and said, "Thank you for your care", thinking to himself, "I will work hard, so as not to disappoint my master and my wife." ”
At this time, several young disciples surrounding Lu Dayong suddenly let out a few exclamations such as "yo" and "ah".
I saw that Lu Dayong was talking like a river on the side, talking endlessly about how he fought against the black and white double evil, how the senior brother fought against the Red Flame Demon Lord, and several young disciples who listened to it exclaimed, Geng Jingyun glanced at him, and Lu Dayong's eyebrows flew and danced there.
After walking a few steps, Lu Zhengshan and Mrs. Lu sat down in front of the stone table outside the hall, and all the disciples gathered around them, Mrs. Lu's face was slightly disgusted, and she said, "Dayong, before going down the mountain, how did your master explain to you?"
Lu Dayong smiled and said: "Master, before leaving, the master told me to quit drinking and impatience, everything is up to the senior brother, and many troubles are caused by the disciples, don't do the things of the senior brother." ”
Lu Zhengshan said slowly: "Jingyun, you are the first disciple of my Purple Cloud Palace, if you want to set an example for all your junior disciples, remember to think twice before you act, one day, I will travel with your master and sister to seal the sword, and this burden will fall on you sooner or later." ”
After hearing this, Geng Jingyun hurriedly said: "The disciple will never dare to be it!"
At this time, a Xiaodao walked briskly and saluted: "Master Qiqi, Master Niang, the incense and candle offerings in the ancestral hall of the patriarch in the apse have been arranged, please show Master and Lady."
Lu Zhengshan glanced at Geng Jingyun, Geng Jingyun nodded slightly, respectfully gave a single palm salute, turned to the small path and said, "Immediately gather the deacon disciples in the palace, and the master will bring the new beginner disciples to the ancestral master to incense later." ”
After a while, the deacons and disciples gathered in the ancestral hall, and Lu Zhengshan led the disciples to the ancestral hall, only to see a huge offering table in front of the hall, and behind the offering table, there were rows of spiritual seats. Chen Jianping thought to himself: "These must be the spiritual positions of the predecessors of the Purple Cloud Palace, and the Xuanyu Sect does not know how many calamities it has gone through to be as strong as it is today. ”
Lu Zhengshan and the disciples knelt down in front of the offering table, kowtowed three heads respectfully, and saw Lu Zhengshan praying: "Disciple Lu Zhengshan, tell the spirit of the ranking master in the sky, the beggar Chen Jianping, since he was a child, he has suffered hardships, he has a difficult journey, he is burdened with strange poison, and he was chased and killed by demons, the disciple adheres to the teachings of the ranking master, holds justice, does the right way, accepts this son as a disciple in the room, and hopes that this son can take refuge in the right way, shine on my lintel, may the ranking master have a spirit in the sky, bless a lot, and the disciple Lu Zhengshan burns incense and worships again!"
Lu Zhengshan and Mrs. Lu got up and sat down on the left and right of the Taishi chairs on both sides of the offering table, and the other disciples had already gotten up, only Chen Jianping still knelt respectfully in front of the offering table.
I only heard Lu Zhengshan say in a solemn tone: "Ping'er, today when you enter my Xuanyu Gate Ziyun Palace, you must always remember that you are a chivalrous and righteous person, if he walks under the mountain in the future, he must act cautiously, not to let loose the shape of the skeleton, let alone do anything contrary to the chivalrous and righteous path, if you behave badly, or do something extremely evil, you don't need others, you will be the first to take your life, you must always keep these in mind." ”
Chen Jianping hurriedly said: "Yes, the disciple should keep it in mind. ”
At this time, a deacon disciple stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Chen, please give the rank master respectful incense. ”
Chen Jianping bowed three times, and inserted the three pillars of incense into the incense burner according to his words.
I saw that the deacon disciple walked up to Chen Jianping and said: "Senior Brother Chen, there are five precepts in this sect, you have to listen well, one precept is to deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, two precepts to kill innocents indiscriminately, three precepts to harm fellow Taoists, four precepts to distinguish between good and evil, five precepts to steal and plunder, this Ziyun Palace five precepts, you must keep in mind." ”
Chen Jianping knelt up straight and said, "Disciple, keep it in mind and never dare to make a mistake." "Let's say goodbye, respectfully offer tea to the master and the master.
Lu Zhengshan took a sip of tea and said, "Well, okay, from tomorrow onwards, your senior brother will pass on your introductory mental method. ”
Geng Jingyun: "Yes, the disciple understands. ”
The ceremony was completed, Lu Zhengshan and his wife slowly left the ancestral hall, and all the deacon disciples also withdrew from the ancestral hall.
Geng Jingyun picked up Chen Jianping and said, "Little junior brother, I'll introduce you to you." ”
After that, he pointed to the three people in front of him: "This is your second senior brother Zhao Junxian, third senior brother Song Shengming, and fourth senior brother Tian Youren", Chen Jianping saw that the second senior brother was medium height, slightly fat, and had kind eyebrows and good eyes, the third senior brother was quite tall, yellow-skinned, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, while the fourth senior brother was a little short, with a smile on his face, and he looked particularly smart.
Chen Jianping bowed his head and said, "Little brother, please meet all senior brothers." ”
Zhao Junxian helped him up and said, "Little junior brother, please get up quickly, why do you need to be so polite." ”
Among the senior brothers, the old Sitian Youren was the most lively, and he grinned and said: "Hey, a few senior brothers are not very old, but they are old-fashioned when they talk, and they don't suffocate the new junior brothers to death?"
As he spoke, he patted Chen Jianping on the shoulder and said: "Little junior brother, let's learn the same art in the future, we will be like a family, this set of false etiquette, if you can avoid it, you can avoid it!
Lu Dayong said leisurely: "This is true now, but the fourth senior brother seems to have forgotten a very important thing, the little junior brother is young, and he will definitely grow much taller in a few years, and the fourth senior brother you ......."
Chen Jianping nodded at Tian Youren with an innocent face after hearing this, and after a while, there was a burst of laughter in the ancestral hall.
At this time, a small road rushed in, entered the ancestral hall, bowed down, and said: "Senior brother, the respected master is waiting for you in Ningxin Hall, and I will send you to go quickly." ”
Geng Jingyun asked, "Do you know what's going on?"
Xiaodao shook his head and said: "I don't know, but when I came, I heard the discussion of the tea guy, the three masters of Changchun Palace, Bixia Palace, and Seven Star Hall have arrived, and now they should also be in Ningxin Hall." ”
Geng Jingyun raised his eyebrows, and thought: "Uncle Feng of Bixia Palace and Uncle Liang of the Seven Star Palace have always had the best relationship with Shizun, and they will inevitably come a few times every few days, but this Changchun Palace Uncle Guo, but he rarely comes, something must have happened." ”
Silent at the moment, he said: "I know, you go first, I will arrive later", the small path retreated.
Zhao Junxian: "Senior brother, why did the three masters come with you just after you came back, isn't there something wrong?"
Geng Jingyun waved his hand and said: "Presumably there is no big deal, most of it is to discuss the matter of the Heavenly Sacrifice Saint Association in five years, Dayong and Youren, you two take the little junior brother to his residence to have a look, and walk around by the way, so that he can know the path." ”
Lu Dayong and Song Shengming were just the same, Zhao Junxian and Tian Youren were more thoughtful, and they both thought: "Most of it is not a matter of worshipping the Heavenly Saint Society, today the eight masters have just finished discussing this matter in the Tongtian Temple, how could they come to discuss it again, although they feel that it is inappropriate, but they can't think of a reason."
Geng Jingyun lowered his head all the way and walked towards Ning Xintang, thinking in his heart, when he was about to arrive at Ning Xintang, he suddenly had a cleverness in his heart, and his steps couldn't help but pause, "Oh, it's probably the little junior brother's business, yes, it must be the little junior brother's business." ”
He fixed his mind, raised his head, stepped into the hall, bowed his hand, and said loudly: "Disciple Geng Jingyun, meet all the uncles and uncles, and the uncles and uncles are coming, and they are not far away, and they hope to atone for their sins." ”
Liang Tingzan was impatient and open-minded by nature, and when he saw Geng Jingyun coming in, he put the tea bowl on the small table, and said: "Jingyun, you have good qualifications, and you can be regarded as a piece of material, why is it so bad this time, and you are actually injured in the hands of a little Red Flame Demon Lord?"
Geng Jingyun bowed slightly and said: "The disciple is dull, he is not good at learning, and he is ashamed and ashamed of the way of the demon. Liang Tingzan snorted with a wave of his sleeve robe, and drank tea by himself.
Feng Wannian asked, "How are your injuries now?"
Geng Jingyun: "Uncle Lao is worried, a little injury has been completely healed." ”
Guo Benchu put down the tea bowl in his hand and said: "Speaking of this Red Flame Demon Lord, according to what Senior Geng's nephew said, after the defeat that day, he fled to the southwest and fled to the southwest, and it is estimated that he was hiding in the area of Yandang Mountain, so I sent three of my disciples to investigate. ”
Lu Zhengshan turned to the side and asked, "But what's the news?"
Guo Benchu said: "There is nothing else, but I found some strange things in the white bone cave of Yandang Mountain, which is so unpredictable. ”
