Chapter 12: Worship
Chen Jianping was surprised when he heard this, and exclaimed: "Aren't the people of our Purple Cloud Palace living below?
Lu Dayong shook his head and said: "Of course not, there is an old man living here, his temper and personality are very strange, he has lived here a long time ago, and he doesn't like to be disturbed, no one knows his origin, a few years ago, a little disciple in our palace, couldn't help but be curious, went down to take a look, was caught by the old man, and beat him." ”
Tian Youren continued: "At that time, our master came here in person and said loudly to the valley: 'In Lu Zhengshan of the Lower Purple Cloud Palace, His Majesty is not strict, disturbing Your Excellency's cultivation, and I hope to forgive your sins. ’”
Who knew that the old man below said in a weird manner: "What Ziyun, Hongyun, I grow my herbs, you open your Taoist temple, such a big Ziyun Mountain is not your family's, our well water does not interfere with river water, there is nothing to say." ”
Lu Dayong looked at Chen Jianping and said: "Master saw that there was nothing he could do, and after that, he made a strict decree that no one in the palace should enter this valley, and set up a stone tablet as a warning. ”
Chen Jianping was amazed when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at the cliff twice.
At that moment, the three of them turned back, and after a while, they came to the place where the disciples lived, Tian Youren said: "Little junior brother, originally each of the disciples in the room had a separate ashram to live in, but before that, you need to live with ordinary disciples for two years, let's go to your residence now." ”
Chen Jianping nodded yes, followed Tian and Lu to a courtyard, pushed the door in, only to see that there was no one in the house, the furnishings were very simple, only a square table, a shop, and an ordinary inn Chase shop is somewhat similar.
Lu Dayong pointed to the room and said: "Little junior brother, there are three people in the room with you, everyone should be performing martial arts at this moment, the master ordered the master brother to pass on your exercises, it is estimated that the master brother will call you later, you must be tired after a busy day, let's rest here first." ”
At that moment, Tian and Lu left separately, Chen Jianping simply cleaned up, and after a while, two teenagers of the same age as him came in, one fat and one thin, with bruises on their faces, and when they entered the house, they were stunned when they saw Chen Jianping.
The thin young man on the side was the first to ask, "Hey, you are Senior Brother Chen, who just came here today, right?"
Chen Jianping said: "Yes, Senior Brother Lu said that there are two other senior brothers in the house besides me, that is, you, right?"
The young man hurriedly said: "What kind of senior brother are we, my name is Ji Xiaowu, you can just call me Xiaowu", pointing to the fat young man next to him and said: "His name is Zhao Dazhuang, and the two of us have just been here for a long time." ”
Chen Jianping said with a smile: "That's really good, I still want not to live with me is an old-fashioned teacher, then it's suffocating to death, it's good now." ”
These three people are of the same age, they are all children's hearts, sitting together and chattering, and after a while, they are as familiar as old friends, Chen Jianping has been begging everywhere since he was a child, and he can be said to be well-informed at his age, chatting with Ji and Zhao endlessly, Ji and Zhao sat cross-legged and listened with relish, Chen Jianping said where he arose, raised his hand and patted Ji Xiaowu's shoulder, only to hear Ji Xiaowu's "oops", frowning and crying out in pain.
Chen Jianping said apologetically: "Oh, Xiao Wu, I'm sorry, I hurt you." ”
Zhao Dazhuang said: "Senior Brother Chen, you don't know, Xiao Wu has an injury on his shoulder. ”
Chen Jianping then remembered that the two of them had bruises on their faces when they entered the room, and asked with concern: "I see that both of you have bruises on your bodies, presumably because the practice is too hard." ”
Ji Xiaowu said fiercely: "If you fall from the practice, it's okay, and you eat the humiliation of killing a thousand knives for no reason, one day, I will definitely ask him for it." ”
Chen Jianping was confused after hearing this, and looked at Zhao Dazhuang in confusion, Zhao Dazhuang patted his thigh, and said: "Hey, we ordinary disciples, practice on weekdays, eight people in a team, that Wu Chang bullied us newcomers, and made us stumbling everywhere. ”
After hearing this, Chen Jianping tilted his head and said indignantly: "Does the little Wu Chang dare to bully people, I want to see what means he has another day." "Chen Jianping has been begging since he was a child, and he has been looked down upon by many people, and he is most unaccustomed to bullying people!
Ji Xiaowu waved his hand and said: "Senior Brother Chen, let's bear with him first, although you are the master's disciple, after all, he got started before us, and the hero will not suffer the loss in front of him!"
Chen Jianping said indignantly: "There's nothing to be afraid of, a few days ago I saw Senior Brother Geng and Senior Brother Lu fighting demons at the bottom of the mountain, that is the true ability to be invincible, measure a little captain, even if I can't do it alone, is it possible that the three of us can't take care of him?"
Speaking of this, Chen Jianping had an idea, remembering that Qin Baichuan had told him a lot about people who practiced martial arts walking under the mountain, and when he met like-minded friends, he often became friends.
At the moment, he said to Ji and Zhao: "Let's just worship here as brothers, and everyone will advance and retreat together in the future, so as to see who can bully us." ”
Ji and Zhao had long heard that he was favored by the master as soon as he started, and he was accepted by the master as a disciple, and they respected him very much, and they were overjoyed when they heard him say this.
At this time, the sky was dark, a full moon hung high in the sky, three children and scholars looked like adults, kneeling in front of the window, and said to the bright moon in the sky: "I and the three of us met for the first time today, like-minded, heart-to-heart, willing to swear to the bright moon, from now on to become brothers with different surnames, in the future there will be blessings and hardships together, those who violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!"
The three children swore to the sky in front of the window, if in the eyes of adults, they would laugh at their childlike nature, and they would only mess around, but in the eyes of the three of them, it seemed extremely sacred, in terms of age, Chen Jianping was the largest, Zhao Dazhuang was the least, and the three of them stood up and looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.
At this time, three bells rang slowly, and Ji Xiaowu said: "Big brother, it's time for evening class, let's be in the same army, you can go with us." ”
Chen Jianping wanted to take this opportunity to meet the Wu Chief, so he readily agreed, and the three of them came out of the room and ran towards the classroom on the side of the martial arts arena.
In a moment, I arrived in the classroom, here is the place where the disciples listen to the preaching, the Xuanyu Sect is a Taoist, the Taoist original intention is to pay attention to quiet and inaction, everything goes with the flow, and the practice of advanced internal skills, but it is the method of practicing Qi Peiyuan, collecting Qi and practicing strength, which is not in line with the law of Zhou Tian, but is a thing that goes against the sky, therefore, all Xuanyu disciples practice the Dharma during the day and study the Tao at night, so as to complement each other, in order to restrain the mind and not go mad.
The classroom here is quite spacious, when Chen Jianping arrived, everyone was in place, sitting cross-legged, looking around, the room was dark and pressing, not to mention there were two or three hundred people, I saw every eight people in a team, sitting side by side, Chen Jianping followed Ji and Zhao to a futon, and saw that there were already five people sitting here before them.
The first one, born with white skin, wearing a Qingdao robe, with a big belly and a round waist, opened his mouth and said to Ji and Zhao: "Two guys who can only be lazy, it wasn't you two who were late for the evening class, so don't you sit down quickly!" Ji and Zhao turned around and sat down at Chen Jianping.
Chen Jianping thought to himself: "Yes, this person must be the chief of the Wu, hmph! The Taoist priest is a vegetarian and looks so fat, he must not be a good person, just see him for the first time today, and take care of it in the future!"
The chief of Wu started alone, lean, with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and said softly: "This little brother is very raw, everyone is the same brother, the first time we meet, don't you want to give Wu Chang a salute?"
Chen Jianping sneered secretly, thinking, "Before I could make a difficulty, you bumped into it by yourself." At the moment, he stood up quietly and walked to the chief of the army.
The fat captain raised his face and said with a smile: "Everyone is a brother in the same family, and there is no need for those vulgar etiquette, but the family has a family law, and the door has a door rule...... The implication is that Chen Jianping must salute him.
Chen Jianping smiled slightly after hearing this, and bowed his hand and said, "Chen Jianping, the sixth disciple of the Purple Cloud Palace, see Senior Brother Wu. When the fat captain heard this, he was stunned at first, and then embarrassed.
Chen Jianping smiled slightly in his eyes and said: "Although the junior brother is young, he is a disciple who has entered the room, according to this, he is all senior brothers, dare to ask Wu Chang, according to the rules of this sect, what should I do when I see my senior brother for the first time?"
The fat captain laughed dryly, glared at the mouthy man next to him fiercely, and wanted to get up and salute Chen Jian, Chen Jianping saw this, hurriedly raised his hand, and said in the tone of the fat captain: "Everyone is a brother of the same sect, and there is no need for those vulgar courtesies." ”
After a deliberate pause when he said this, the fat captain was overjoyed when he heard it, and he just wanted to sit back, when suddenly Chen Jianping continued: "But the family has a family law, and the door has a door rule ......."
The fat Wu Chang was stunned for a moment, his buttocks fell halfway and froze in the air, he couldn't sit or stand up, and his fat face was flushed, which was really embarrassing.
Chen Jianping turned around, sat back on the futon, and winked at Ji and Zhao, and the three of them bowed their heads and snickered with joy.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in front of the door, and I vaguely heard someone in the crowd saying, "Oh, this kind of strange thing happened again", "What's going on?" It's been several times, "Someone, go and tell Uncle Liu!"
