Chapter 4 Apprenticeship with the Old Taoist
Shangguan Jinglun walked alone on the mountain road. It was not so much to walk as to fly, for he was like a drifter, passing through the woods without touching a single leaf, and passing through the dirt road without raising any dust. His mind was still stuck in Xianlai Mountain, thinking of half of the Tao Te Ching, Zhang Yunshe, Li Qingshan, and especially Li Qingshan.
"Li Qingshan, Li Qingshan, Zhang Yunshe and I laid out the layout for you, is it because of the celestial phenomenon of 'Purple Qi Southeast' and the vision of 'stepping on the seven stars' when we met you? Those are just the appearance of fooling people. Is it just because you have a great talent? There are so many talented people in the world, why choose you? Now you have been chosen, and all this is just because of the word 'potential'. Emperor Wu has been missing for ten years, and I, the 'Wen Sheng', Yan Wu Xiuwen, his 'Dao Sheng' does not like to fight, if there is trouble in this world again, who can calm the storm and calm the turmoil?" Shangguan Jinglun pondered deeply.
Not to mention Shangguan Jinglun, thinking about it along the way. On the other end, Li Qingshan was reading in full, and according to the past, at this time, Mr. Shangguan was already annotating and debating for him, but today he has not seen anyone for a long time. He couldn't sit still, so he got up and went to look for the old man, but he couldn't find anyone in the entire Taoist temple. He had no choice but to go to the main hall to find the old Taoist, and hurriedly asked: "Old Daoist, what about the old Mr. Shangguan, I haven't found anyone everywhere!"
Zhang Yunshe said lightly: "He went home." ”
Li Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and his face showed an extremely sad look.
The old Taoist priest then said, "It's okay. He is not from this mountain, and he will leave after all. From this day forward, it is up to me to teach you. Mr. Shangguan teaches you the book of the world, and I will teach you the book of heaven. Let Chu Sihai come over to witness, and you will also salute me. After speaking, he let out a clear whistle.
Chu Sihai floated in.
The old Taoist priest pointed at Li Qingshan and said, "From today onwards, Qingshan has officially entered my door and will be taught by me." I'll let him bow to me, kowtow a few times, and you can be a witness. ”
Chu Sihai's expression was grim, knowing that the old Taoist priest was going to really accept Li Qingshan to get started. What does this mean? The only disciple of Dao Saint Zhang Yunshe, who in the world does not want to, who does not envy it, who can have this blessing? This kid is in front of him!
He patted Li Qingshan's little shoulder and whispered, "Don't kneel down quickly and meet Master!"
At this time, Li Qingshan didn't seem to be so smart, and even asked, "Is it the same as when I first met Mr. Shangguan, do you bow to the teacher?"
Chu Sihai almost vomited blood on the spot. This kid was so worried about Shangguan Jinglun, so he replied angrily: "No. This time, you have to call Master. Be a teacher for one day, be a father for life! You want to be a little Taoist!"
Li Qingshan let out an "oh", and did not respond immediately, but thoughtfully.
When Chu Sihai saw this, his anger surged up again, and he thought to himself: "Is it difficult to insult you by worshipping the Taoist saint as a teacher?
He didn't know that although Shangguan Jinglun had been strict with Li Qingshan's studies in the past two years, the most important thing was to be able to debate freely every day, never put on a posture of superiority, and did not have any elders' shelves. This is also imperceptibly, making Li Qingshan dare to think and have his own opinions, which is particularly valuable.
The old Taoist priest was not in a hurry, and waited for Li Qingshan with a smile on the side.
After a short while, Li Qingshan finally knelt down, kowtowed three times, and shouted loudly: "Li Qingshan greets Master!"
The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and laughed, as if he hadn't been so happy for a long time. He picked up Li Qingshan, stroked his head, and said gently: "I have been a fool for half a lifetime, and now I finally have an apprentice." Everyone in Xianlai Village knows that I picked you up and brought you back to the foot of the mountain, and one day I will take you up the mountain to enter the Tao. Therefore, it is reasonable for you to call me 'Master'. ”
"Actually, you are gifted and intelligent, and you are taught by the famous teacher Mr. Shangguan, Yu Tongwen literacy has long surpassed all peers in the world, and it is not much worse than those big corrupt Confucians today. But you must know that in this life, you are not going to be a sour scholar and a great rotten Confucian who can only read thousands of classics, nor are you a poor Taoist who can only devote himself to cultivation, but to be a first-class person in this world!"
He continued: "As a teacher, he was born in the authentic 'Yunxu Sect' of the world's Taoist sect, and so far there are nine major views, known as the nine views of Yunxu, which are scattered in various counties in Zhongzhou. You worship me as a teacher, we don't stick to common sense, you can't go to the 'Yunxu Sect,' you don't want to be a Taoist priest, and you don't keep the precepts! But you and I must remember that our generation must take it as our responsibility to help the world in danger and protect the peace of the world! Have you remembered?"
Li Qingshan replied loudly: "The disciples have kept in mind that in the future, we must help the world in danger and take the common people in the world as our own responsibility!"
The old Taoist priest nodded, and then said: "To help the world, you must first have the ability and great ability. What do you want to learn first, palm, fist, sword, which one to choose?"
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he suddenly retreated, his hands came out of his palms, and a set of exquisite "Void Palm Technique" was displayed, the moves changed endlessly, and he couldn't see the reality of the void, plus his body was light, and he walked and cast his palm, like a fairy swimming in the void, and the palm technique was extremely mysterious.
Li Qingshan shook his head and showed that he was not interested.
The old Taoist priest closed his palm, and used a set of boxing techniques, which is different from the fantasy ingenuity of the "Void Palm Method", this set of boxing methods is tiger and tiger, the fist is strong and powerful, and there is the potential of swallowing the dragon and tiger, which is a set of extremely fierce "demon fist".
Li Qingshan shook his head again and signaled that he would not study.
The old Taoist priest closed his fist, his right hand towards the main hall, and a shining sword flew down from the beam into his hand, which was the "Purple Cloud Divine Sword". He straightened his sword, pinched the sword, and unfolded the extremely clever swordsmanship "Yunxu Sixteen Styles" of the Yunxu Sect, each style contains nine moves, the moves are exquisite, the sword is full of flowers, the sword intent is abundant, and the color of the clouds of the Purple Cloud Divine Sword is really beautiful.
Li Qingshan still shook his head and didn't say a word.
The old Taoist priest put away his sword, and he was not angry, he raised his left palm, took a deep breath, and soon condensed clouds of clouds on his palm, and waved towards the big incense tripod a few zhang away from the Taoist temple.
Li Qingshan was speechless, did not nod or shake his head.
Chu Sihai, who was beside him, became anxious and said loudly: "Boy, don't you learn it yet, do you know what kind of magic skill this is? This is one of the best magic skills in the world, maybe you can't learn it if you want to!"
The old Taoist priest waved his hand and said, "Okay, good, don't be greedy for every move in front of you, this state of mind is excellent." Then let it be!"
Then his expression changed and he said solemnly: "Li Qingshan, listen, in the future, if there is the slightest deviation from the teacher's teachings and orders, he will be severely punished for dusting his hands!"
Li Qingshan thought of Mr. Shangguan's feather fan, and couldn't help but feel frightened. I thought, is it Mr. Shangguan's feather fan that is powerful, or is the master's dust whisking?
