Chapter 13 Getting Started

PS: Thank you Yangzhigang and Lingsu for your rewards, and thank you Betald and I want to follow the wind for your monthly ticket encouragement. Today, the unit is working late, sorry for being late.

Zhuo Tengyi flicked his sleeves, and a white light suddenly came out, hitting straight ahead, Zhao Ran felt that the vision in front of him seemed to shake for a while, and when he stared at it again, the ravine was still a ravine, and the strange rocks in the woods had not changed, as if they had not changed at all. But Zhao Ran opened the eyes of the sky, and he obviously saw that the flow of qi in the world in front of him was not real, as if someone had deliberately covered it with a thin curtain.

This is an extremely clever trick, no, it is an extremely clever illusion array, and Zhao Ran's eyesight can't see through it. Just as he wanted to carefully comb and distinguish, Zhuo Tengyi had already grabbed his sleeve and pulled him forward.

One step forward, suddenly stepped into the dark night, the second step, the eyes lit up, as if in the thick clouds, the third step, Zhao Ran finally entered a new world.

In the distance, there are green mountains, near high cliffs and waterfalls, and the gently undulating hills are lush and green, coiled like wisps of mist. The waterfall becomes a bubbling stream, circling the hills, and there are pavilions, flower corridors, water pavilions, rockeries and strange rocks on both sides...... It's a picturesque world.

Zhao Ran stared blankly at the qi qi in front of him, his heart was agitated, this is the blessed land of the cave, this is the place where cultivators live and cultivate, compared with the world outside, it is not a world of difference!

When Zhao Ran was greedy for a long time, the two uncles of the Zhuo family patted their mounts, and the two horses galloped into the woods next to them with a roar. The old donkey rubbed Zhao Ran's neck, and Zhao Ran knew what it wanted. smiled and said, "You can go too, and I'll call you when I go out." So the old donkey rushed into the forest with joy and went to look for the mounts of the two uncles of the Zhuo family.

Zhuo Tengyun said to Zhuo Tengyi: "Take your time, I'll go back first." With that, he hurried away, passing through a pavilion in an instant. The figure is hidden behind the flowing water of the small bridge.

Zhuo Tengyi took Zhao Ran to walk forward slowly, crossed the bridge, crossed the corridor, crossed the pool, and introduced as he walked: "This is the Wenxiang Pool, and next to it is the Baihuapo." The floral scent keeps ...... This is the White Crane Pavilion, and these white cranes in the pond are the apprentices of Uncle Danhe......"

Saying that, the two came to a wide square field, and a magnificent hall directly opposite was written "Sanqing Palace", and on the left side was "Heavenly Master Palace". On the right is the "Hall of the Emperor of the Fire Stars", and in the northeast and northwest are the bell tower and drum tower.

When I came on the road, I didn't see a person, but when I arrived here, I met a few Taoist priests in plain robes, old and young, each holding a box and a bamboo basket. ”

Zhuo Tengyi nodded and said, "This is Zhao Zhiran, who is named under Senior Brother Jiang." I have entered the Taoist realm, and I entered the museum for the first time today, and I came to confer the ceremony. See you too. ”

Those Taoist priests bowed to Zhao Ran again: "I've seen Daoist Zhao." ”

Zhao Ran didn't know what to call it, so he had to return the salute: "A few mercy." ”

The elder among the several Taoist priests said: "Zhuo Huangguan, Elder Yan has already instructed, please ask this Daoist Zhao to wait here, and the elders will immediately confer the urn on Daoist Zhao." I'll have to go in and set it up, so I won't accompany us. Please forgive Zhuo Huangguan and Daoist Zhao. ”

Zhuo Tengyi nodded, and Zhao Ran said politely, "Thank you." ”

Several Taoist priests rushed into the Sanqing Hall with things in their arms. Only Zhao Ran and Zhuo Tengyi were left waiting at the bottom of the steps, and Zhao Ran asked, "Those senior brothers just now...... Or uncle?"

Zhuo Tengyi said with a smile: "It's the vulgar way of Huayun Pavilion. He is not a cultivator, but he has also received it. ”

Zhao Ran was curious: "The vulgar way can also enter the Huayun Pavilion?"

Zhuo Tengyi said: "There are fire workers in the jungle of the ten directions, and there is also no shortage in the pavilions, and there are many mountains and mountains along the way to practice, and there is absolutely no time and energy to spend on daily trivial matters. Some of these laymans are orphans picked up by monks, and some are relatives left by their predecessors, but unfortunately they have no talent for cultivation...... You can be worthy of their brothers, but they will call you the priesthood, this is a habit left over from hundreds of years, and it is not that my monks look down on them. My generation must not despise others, but also treat them kindly, after all, if you really want to talk about it, maybe their ancestors have made great contributions to the Daomen, or maybe one day, your descendants will also be one of them. ”

As he was talking, he saw that people came to the Sanqing Hall one after another, some of them stood on the field in front of the hall, standing in a row on the left and right, and some of them stepped into the Sanqing Palace. Zhuo Tengyi hurriedly instructed Zhao Ran to tighten his robe.

Suddenly, hearing the bells and drums in the bell tower and the drum tower, Zhuo Tengyun came out of the Sanqing Hall and shouted: "Please wish Zhao Zhiran from Junshan Temple and enter the Sanqing Palace!"

Zhao Ran hurriedly stepped up the stone steps, went up to the nine-step square field, penetrated from the Taoist priests arranged in front of the hall, bowed on the futon outside the threshold of the Sanqing Palace, and after crossing the threshold to enter, he bowed under the ancestral seat of Sanqing Dao, offered incense, and eulogized.

At this time, Zhao Ran had the opportunity to look inside the hall, and saw five high-crowned Taoist priests wearing apricot yellow robes standing on the northeast side of the Sanqing statue, and the youngest looked like they were all over forty or fifty, but Zhao Ran knew that the faces of the monks were innumerable, and some of them looked like they were in their thirties, and they might have long passed their prime.

On the east side of the chamber, there were more than a dozen people standing, all of whom were Ge Qing Taoist robes of Yishui. Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo were among them, and Zhao Ran also saw Zhu Zhimeng, who was standing in the twelfth place, looking at himself strangely on the front.

Zhao Ran secretly smiled at Zhu Zhimeng, and Brother Secret Dao also came in one day!

There are only three people on the side of the west chamber, the first one is about thirty years old, his face is calm, he is smiling and nodding at himself, and the remaining two look not much older than Zhao Ran, and they are also looking at Zhao Ran curiously.

I heard a high-ranking man in an apricot yellow robe cough and said, "Zhao Zhiran, worship the master first, and let Jiang Tenghe's disciples accept apprentices on behalf of the master." ”

I saw that the Taoist priest who was on the west side came to the Sanqing seat, smiled at Zhao Ran first, and said, "The master failed to come out to see you in retreat, so I took in the apprentices on behalf of the master." I'm Wei Zhizhen, you can call me Senior Brother. ”

Zhao Ran was a little disappointed, and said in his heart, "This cheap master really doesn't want to see me, and he doesn't even want to show his face?" Lost is lost, but he can't be rude, so he hurriedly took out the apprenticeship sticker that he had written a long time ago, recited it on the spot, and then presented it to Wei Zhizhen.

Wei Zhizhen accepted Zhao Ran's apprenticeship sticker, and said that Jiang Tenghe's precepts were nothing more than a set of things that could not be done evil, after finishing speaking, Zhao Ran hurriedly put on the incense, Wei Zhizhen inserted the incense burner, Zhao Ran took out the gift and offered it, and Wei Zhizhen also received it.

Zhao Ran originally prepared a good medicinal herb that ranked high on the "Zhilan Elixir Spectrum", but since Jiang Tenghe didn't even show his face, he naturally saved the treasure and only took out a ginseng that was less than a hundred years oldβ€”it was actually very good.

Zhao Ran performed the apprenticeship ceremony of the named disciples, and there were no ceremonies such as asking hexagrams, going to the table, giving Dharma names, drinking water and transmitting degrees, and awarding scriptures and ritual instruments, which were quite concise and efficient. Wei Zhizhen returned a gift on behalf of the master - Zhao Ran felt that most of it was something that the senior brother took out himself, and the ceremony was over.

Wei Zhizhen's gift was a talisman, which Zhao Ran had seen in the book "Zhengyi Talisman", which was a fourth-order spirit talisman with the name "Golden Light Earth Flame Circle", which was a defensive talisman for the body. The fourth-order spirit rune should be considered quite valuable, and only a monk above the mage level can refine it, and after receiving this gift, Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his little family spirit just now. At the same time, he also looked at Wei Zhizhen very suspiciously, if this talisman was refined by Senior Brother Wei, then wouldn't this senior brother already enter the mage realm?

After the apprenticeship ceremony, Zhao Ran was included in the door wall of Master Jiang Tenghe, but he was not an official disciple, just a registered disciple.

Wei Zhizhen introduced Zhao Ran to the two young Taoist priests standing beside him, one was called Yu Zhichuan, and the other was called Luo Zhiqing, and Zhao Ran called "Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother".

The three formal disciples under Jiang Tenghe's sect are sorted, but Zhao Ran does not, so Wei Zhizhen and others call him "Senior Brother Zhao", not "Fourth Senior Brother", if Jiang Tenghe accepts formal disciples in the future, the new apprentice will call Zhao Ran "Senior Brother Zhao", and Zhao Ran can call the other party "Senior Brother Zhao".

After the apprenticeship is completed, Zhao Ran can be counted as a person from Huayun Pavilion, and he can be assigned the position of Gong. So everyone went out of the Sanqing Hall and entered the "Huode Star Monarch Palace" on the east side of the square field. (To be continued)
