Chen Dongyang and the fat man were busy until noon, and at lunchtime, Tian Xiuling stood at the bottom of the valley and shouted to the two.

"Two Dao brothers, let's eat first!"

The monkey couldn't stand the hunger, so he soaked a bowl of mutton in the morning, and after a busy morning, his stomach kept growling.

"Lao Chen, let's eat first, it will take a few hours for this thing to be installed!"

"Well, I'll continue after eating, I see that I'm almost done, and I'll be able to do it in another hour. ”

The two of them went down to the bottom of the valley, Tian Xiuling had already prepared a meal, and the ingredients were all brought by Chen Dongyang yesterday, looking at a few dishes on the table, the monkey and Chen Dongyang couldn't help but be surprised.

Because although Tian Xiuling's dishes are not delicacies, they are very chic.

Tian Xiuling couldn't help but feel a little shy when she cooked for someone other than the master for the first time, and she explained with a red face: "I'm not good at cooking, and I ask the two Taoist brothers to forgive me." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's good to be cooked!" Chen Dongyang hurriedly sloppied.

After the three of them sat down, Chen Dongyang and the monkey really felt that the dishes not only had appearance, but also taste, color, flavor, and taste.

"That's good, Lao Chen!"

"Well, it's really good! Miss Tian, who taught you this cooking skill?"

Tian Xiuling added a bowl of rice to each of them, and said casually: "I have lived in the Netherworld Valley with my master since I was one year old, and I have been helping my master cook and wash clothes since I was seven years old. ”

When the monkey heard this, he couldn't help but scold: ", you are raised by your master, and you have raised a maid, and you help her work every day!"

Tian Xiuling immediately defended when she heard this: "It's not like this, the master is very good to me, she brought me up with her own hands, and taught me to read and practice Taoism, she treats me as her own daughter, how can she treat me as a maid!"

"I don't know who your master is?" asked Chen Dongyang.

"My master is the eighty-first generation descendant of the Netherworld Valley, the Netherworld Valley is a single lineage, each generation will only accept one disciple, and the mission of each disciple is to protect the water ghost talisman until someone takes the turtle talisman away. ”

"Miss Tian, since you have already handed over the turtle talisman to me, why don't you go out of the valley to live? Chen Dongyang persuaded her again.

Tian Xiuling sighed, looked up at the scenery in the valley, and said leisurely: "I have lived here for twenty-one years, and I have long been accustomed to the hard life in the valley. ”

"But it's too dangerous for you, a girl, to live alone in this deep mountain and old forest, isn't it?" the monkey persuaded her.

Tian Xiuling glanced at the monkey and asked with a smile, "Brother Chen Dao, I don't know your senior brother's surname!"

"My surname is Li, and my name is Zhengyang!" the monkey replied first.

"Brother Li Dao, what you said is not right, although I Ling Xiaozi is a woman, but my practice in the Netherworld Valley is to expound the secret arts, and I have already crossed the catastrophe into purple when I was eighteen years old. ”

Chen Dongyang and the monkey couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, they could cross the robbery into purple at the age of eighteen, and this was probably already a take-off speed cultivation.

Chen Dongyang felt that he was ashamed of himself, although Chen Bomao was talented in his previous life, he entered Qin Shuangzi's mountain gate at the age of sixteen, but he also practiced for eight years before he could cross the robbery into purple, and it was only light purple. Ling Xiaozi in front of him was actually able to cross the catastrophe and enter the purple at the age of eighteen, it seems that this secret technique of expounding the sect is indeed not to be underestimated.

Someone will say here again, this Tian Xiuling has been in the master since he was one year old, and he has been practicing for a long time, so he naturally cultivates quickly.

But Chen Dongyang knows the details of this, and many of the apprentices in the mountain gate are qualifications.

The so-called qualifications are very particular in the acceptance of disciples in the Daomen, and it has three meanings.

First of all, the first is to accept the apprentice at least the posture and appearance of the pass, you can't always find a crooked mouth disabled person to be an apprentice, the crooked mouth is slurred, the disabled person can not pinch the trick practice, if you really accept this kind of apprentice, in the pinching of the trick when the mouth is not clear, please the wrong fairy, that is not a shame to die.

The second is that this person's quality is high, he must abide by the rules and be reasonable, if this person's quality is too low, and he does things his own way, then are you a disciple or a teacher?

The third and most important point is that the apprentice you accept must be smart, if the apprentice you accept is too stupid, then won't he be able to cultivate the Tao for the rest of his life?

When Qin Shuangzi accepted apprentices, the rules were extremely strict, and generally young disciples entered the mountain gate, and it first took three or three years.

In the first three years, I had to do chores in the Taoist temple, cleaning the rooms and emptying the toilet for those high-ranking Taoist priests every day, and cooking and sweeping the floor.

After three years of miscellaneous labor, after feeling that this person has a stable personality and a good temperament, let him recite the Taoist scriptures for three years, and after chanting the scriptures for three years, he will meditate for three years.

In this way, nine years have passed, and when you can still stay in the Taoist temple in the tenth year, then you will be taught the real Qi practice method and Taoism.

The reason for this arrangement is actually very meaningful.

Three years of miscellaneous labor is to work his bones, three years of chanting is to suffer his heart, and three years of meditation is to consolidate his will, so that those who can still persist in learning the Tao are the real cultivators.

At its peak, there were more than 3,000 disciples, but there were only eight personal disciples, and the rest were ordinary Taoist priests.

Most of these people stuck out of less than half of them and quit on their own.

Cultivation is not something that can be learned by simply reciting sutras, it requires a long period of exercise.

Three years of miscellaneous labor is better, but three years of chanting and meditation are difficult, because chanting and meditation are extremely boring things, and people who are active cannot persevere.

After these nine years, basically the youngest age will be seventeen or eighteen years old, and then practice the Qi method to learn Taoism, and be able to cross the catastrophe and enter the purple before the age of thirty is already a very powerful apprentice.

So after hearing Tian Xiuling say that she crossed the robbery at the age of eighteen, even Chen Dongyang was a little jealous of this girl.

"Miss Tian, what are you practicing in this secret technique, can you tell me a little bit?" the monkey couldn't help but be curious.

Tian Xiuling couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she heard this, the secret method of the master was top secret, how could she tell others casually.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Dongyang couldn't help but give the monkey a roll of his eyes.

"It's okay if it's inconvenient to say!" the monkey quickly snorted, he knew he had said the wrong thing.

"Brother Li Dao, I'm really ashamed, my master and ancestor have said that I will only pass on the secret method to people, and I am not allowed to leak it!" Tian Xiuling's face was ashamed.

"Miss Tian, do you plan to go outside again and bring a child in and accompany you here for the rest of your life?"

As soon as Chen Dongyang said this, Tian Xiuling's face changed.

"I don't know, both the ancestor and the master have had their last words, if anyone who has a turtle dust is not taken away, then the Netherworld Valley needs to continue to be passed on, and the incense cannot be broken!"

"Then now that your mission has been completed, do you still want to continue to preach in this land of suffering? Even if you want to, the parents of the children may not be willing, and the children now are very precious!" Chen Dongyang spoke again to persuade.

Tian Xiuling stopped talking, just reached out to pick up the vegetables.

Chen Dongyang saw that Tian Xiuling's face was not good, and he suddenly couldn't persuade him again, so he had to bury his head in eating, the monkey said the wrong thing before, and he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately at this moment, so he could only eat wildly with his head stuffy.

After lunch, the two flew up again, finished the rest of the work, and waited until one o'clock in the afternoon, when the two finally installed all the solar panels.

After adjusting the angle of the sun, Chen Dongyang turned on the charging switch, and the solar panels began to receive sunlight charging.

The hole had already laid wires, installed light bulbs, and looked at the battery under the power generation board in a charging state, Chen Dongyang hurriedly went down to the bottom of the valley, walked into the cave quickly, and turned on the electric lights in the cave.

With a "snap", the switch turned on, and the white light illuminated the entire cave, and the dark stone cave became transparent at this moment.

"Miss Tian, it's ready! You don't have to touch the dark in the future!" Chen Dongyang said happily, pointing to the shining lamp.

Tian Xiuling's face showed joy, and the melancholy that had just come out seemed to be swept away at this moment.

"Brother Chen Dao, in fact, it doesn't matter if there is electricity or not, I am used to the dark environment in the cave, besides, you and I are both people with purple qi, and we can already see things at night, it doesn't matter if there is light or not. ”

"How can it be done, although we can see things at night, but if it is too long, it is still not good for the eyes, after having electricity, your life will be much more convenient in the future, as long as the sun comes out in the future, the battery will be automatically charged, and you can also use electricity to cook and cook, which is much more convenient than using firewood." ”

Tian Xiuling nodded, cooking every day is indeed a trouble for her, not to mention the thick smoke, she has to go all over the mountains to find dry firewood.

With electricity, Chen Dongyang can finally see the situation in the cave, on a stone table deep in the cave, there are dozens of wooden plaques, and it turns out to be the ancestors of the Netherworld Valley.

Among them, there are five pieces and five rows on the top, and the wooden cards are written with the name of the patriarch of the Netherworld Valley, Chen Dongyang took a closer look, it turned out that the ancestor of the Netherworld Valley was actually Jiang Ziya's apprentice Wulu God, it seems that what Da Qingshu said is true, this Netherworld Valley is indeed used by Jiang Ziya to suppress the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

Looking at the boudoir again, there is a new thick quilt on the stone bed, which he bought yesterday, and it seems that Tian Xiuling has already covered it last night.

"Brother Chen Dao, I really don't know how to thank you!" Tian Xiuling brought Chen Dongyang a bowl of water.

"Thank you, thank you, this is what I should do, I still have something to ask Miss Tian!"

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Do you know the Master of Wisdom and Suffering of the Dragon Temple?"

"I know, the family teacher and Master Hui Ku are good friends, they have often corresponded, and Hui Ku has been here two days ago. ”

"Did you tell him my name?" asked Chen Dongyang.

Tian Xiuling nodded, "That day, he came to see the long rope you left in the valley, so he asked about it, and I told him the ins and outs of the matter!"

"Miss Tian, do you know the ins and outs of this wisdom and suffering?"

"Brother Chen Dao, what are you asking him to do?"
