Section 12 Opening the mountain and entering the house
"Closed door, closed door, hahaha......" He suddenly felt that his decades of hard work were all in vain, such a pulse, there is no hope at all, let alone becoming an immortal, it is difficult to become an ordinary martial arts master!
The sharp voice pierced his eardrums and pulled him back from the brink of madness: "Little Taoist!" There was a strange power hidden in the voice, and Wei Mingde's sanity suddenly recovered under his shout. "Although the closed vein is called the dead vein, it is considered that it is impossible to practice any method, but that is only the opinion of the mediocre people in the cultivation realm, in fact, the closed vein is not as they think, if there is a suitable exercise, the closed vein is not only not a dead vein, but on the contrary, it will become a spiritual vein!"
"What, really?" The reversal between the great joy and the joy of the unknown made him not feel out of shape at all, and the unknown lay on the stone, stretching his head under the stone as much as possible: "Do you know what exercises are suitable for me to practice?" It was pitch black under the stone, and I couldn't see anything, but the voice still came: "Of course I know, but ......" "But what?" "If you want to practice, you must worship me as a teacher!"
"No!" Wei Ming was stunned for a while, but he made such a request, and immediately refused. The voice didn't force him: "You think about it yourself, in this world, except for me, there is no second person who will do this kind of exercise, if you don't worship me as a teacher, you can only be a miscellaneous leader for the rest of your life, serving others." Wei Ming still shook his head resolutely: "I can't betray the ...... of the master?" "What betrayed the master?" is that they can't teach you, do they treat you like this, and you still have to be loyal to them for the rest of your life?"
Wei Ming hurriedly retreated from the stone: "No, I can't do this, betraying the master will be punished by heaven, heaven will not tolerate it!" He stumbled back, and in a state of confusion, he fell carelessly and rolled off the stone. "I can't, I can't!" he almost howled and ran away, behind him, the boulder still hanging from the edge of the cliff, and his voice was full of confidence: "You'll be back, I'm sure ......"
Early the next morning, after the morning class last night, three bells rang in the Sanqing Hall of the Wuwei Sword Sect, and all the disciples who entered the room knew that the ceremony of opening the mountain gate was about to begin. The disciples all wore purple robes, wore yellow crowns, and stepped on ten-square shoes, and gathered in the Sanqing Palace. The opening of the mountain gate is only once every three years, and it is a very solemn ceremony, and all the disciples must wear the prescribed vestments to attend. And those division commanders, each wearing a silk robe embroidered with a golden silk dragon pattern, stood behind the head of the house. The head of the nine modern Taoists, dressed in apricot yellow gold silk gossip robes today, sat on the futon in the center of the Sanqing Palace, and a Taoist boy stood on the left and right, holding the dust and the Dharma seal for him.
Halfway up the mountain, Lu Tao, Zhu Wuzhao and Gu Sheng were already ready, Lu Tao's face was flushed, he clenched his hands excitedly, Zhu Wuzhao said disdainfully: "What's so nervous, cut!" Gu Sheng almost laughed, he forgot what he looked like last night.
Unclear came out of the room in a panic, and closed the door while getting dressed. The disciple who was in charge of picking up Lu Tao and the three of them, when he saw Weiming, asked strangely: "Hey, why didn't you go to the morning class today?" He didn't call Senior Brother Weiming, but called him by his name, and Gu Sheng, who was standing on the side, shook his head secretly, it is true that people are good at being bullied and horses are good at being ridden. While running quickly to the mountain, Wei Ming said, "No, I ...... yesterday" The following words were not heard clearly, and Wei Ming had already run away. Gu Sheng frowned, this is really a bit strange today.
"Alright, the time is up, let's go. I saw a ball of blue light rising from the disciple's hand, and the light flashed, and the four of them were already lifted up together, and slowly flew towards the top of the mountain. Lu Tao was dumbfounded, thinking in his heart when he would be able to reach such an immortal realm, the disciple saw Lu Tao's envious appearance, his heart was proud, and his face softened a lot.
The four of them came to the second gate outside the temple and fell. The Wuwei Sword Sect has a total of three mountain gates, the first of which is halfway up the mountain, that is, in front of the house where the servants live, which can be regarded as a symbol that regulates the general scope of the Wuwei Sword Sect. The second way, right here, is far from the Sanqing Temple, there is a hundred-step ladder, which is the entrance for the disciples to formally apprentice, and the new disciples climb the hundred-step ladder to show the sincerity of the Tao. The third way, in the hearts of the disciples, this is a mysterious and mysterious thing, back then the founding ancestor decided to set this mountain gate in the hearts of the disciples, only when the heart enters the mountain gate, can it be regarded as a true disciple of the Wuwei Sword Sect.
"Alright, I can only send it here, you can go up yourself. After the disciple who led the way, he walked away quickly. Gu Sheng and Zhu Wuzhao glanced at each other, took a deep breath, and stepped on the first step. At this time, Lu Tao had already climbed a few steps first, he was afraid that he would fall behind Gu Sheng and the others, not only did he take the first step, but also took a few steps and made a step, and went up quickly. Zhu Wuzhao was in a hurry when he saw it, and urged Gu Sheng again and again: "Hurry up, you see that guy has already run almost halfway through!" Gu Sheng slowed down: "Don't worry, even if he goes up, he has to wait for us, let's go up slowly, don't worry, isn't it something to do, first come, first served?" Zhu Wuzhao thought about it carefully, there was no meaning in Gu Sheng's words, he nodded half-understandingly, and walked up slowly with Gu Sheng, step by step, without the slightest trick.
Lu Tao really reached the top of the mountain a lot ahead, he was so tired that he was out of breath, and Jiuxian Daoist smiled: "Tired, take a rest." Lu Tao thought that he would arrive first, he should hold a ceremony first, and he could be selected by a good master, but he never thought that he would have to wait for Gu Sheng and them here, although he was very dissatisfied in his heart, but when he saw the appearance of the head of the house, he didn't dare to say much, and stood aside obediently.
The figures of Gu Sheng and Zhu Wuzhao finally appeared outside the door of the Sanqing Temple, Gu Sheng pulled Zhu Wuzhao, and the two knelt down outside the hall: "Disciple Gu Sheng/Zhu Wuzhao bowed to the Sanqing Divine Monarch, please allow me to enter the Dharma Gate!" Jiuxian Daoist smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, since the Sanqing Divine Monarch has already allowed you to enter the room, what else can Lao Dao say?" Lu Tao on the side was annoyed for a while, secretly regretting that he was too impatient.
Jiuxian Daoist turned his head to Lu Tao, who was standing aside, and said: "Do you know the meaning of the word Wuwei? Lu Tao hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Disciple, remember the teachings of the master!"
"Okay, the three of you kneel down!" The three of them knelt in a row, and as soon as the nine modern Taoists raised their hands, suddenly in the hall, the gloom sounded in unison, and the nine modern Taoists got up and walked to the three of them and said loudly: "On behalf of Qingzun, I grant you the nine precepts of Miaozhen: one does not kill, and saves all sentient beings; the other is not lewd, and is in the right place; the third does not steal, and pushes righteousness to harm oneself; the fourth is not deceitful, and the thief harms the good; the fifth is respectful, and the same way is harmonious; the sixth is not angry, and the fierce and domineering others; the seventh is not arrogant, and the arrogance is true; the eighth is not two, and the precepts are single-minded; and the ninth is diligent and always guards the teacher. The three of them kowtowed: "Disciples, remember, swear not to break the precepts!"
Jiuxian Taoist nodded, and someone came over with a tray, on the tray was the three sword green cloth confessional clothes, which were worn during the practice, and the Jiuxian Taoist put the three confessional clothes on the three people one by one, combed the Taoist bun for the three people, and the ceremony of opening the mountain gate was over, and the next thing was to accept the apprentices.
Three bells rang, the ceremony ended, and the other disciples dispersed, except for the elders of the nine-character generation. So far, only the disciples of the nine-character generation are qualified to accept apprentices. A group of unwritten disciples dispersed, but only one person remained, standing still and not moving.
Daoist Jiuzhi looked at him and frowned, and asked unhappily: "Weiming, what are you still standing there doing, why don't you retreat with the senior brothers!" Weiming knelt on the ground, didn't dare to look up, just asked: "Master, when will the disciples be able to return to the upper courtyard, no longer shackled by complicated and trivial matters, and concentrate on the Dao?"
The teachers and commanders of the nine-character generation all frowned, secretly feeling embarrassed, this is not clear at the beginning, they didn't know what Jiuzhi thought, and they actually accepted him as an apprentice.
Jiuzhi was angry in his heart, if he hadn't looked away at the beginning, how could he have been ridiculed by such a dull apprentice? Over the years, this laughing stock has made him ridiculed by his peers, and now this fool wants to return to Shangshanmen, so he has to be teased by his brothers and sisters every day? A nameless fire suddenly rose in his heart: "Retreat! Naturally, the teachers and elders are in charge of such things, so why should you complain here? If you feel that this errand has wronged you, you can pack up your things and go down the mountain." Hmph!"This is tantamount to expelling the unknown from the master, after all, the elders are monks who have been cultivating for many years, although they all know that this unknown must be nothing, but because of this, a person who is not at fault is expelled from the master, everyone feels that it is a bit excessive, and they have persuaded: "Weiming, you go down first, as long as you work hard, there will be a ...... of this day"
With tears in his eyes, he was silent, and quickly ran out of the Sanqing Temple. Jiuzhi Dao Chang said angrily: "Useless things!" Gu Sheng couldn't bear it in his heart, and shouted: "Senior Brother Weiming!" He chased to the door, outside the Sanqing Temple, it was empty and cold, and there was no trace of the unknown.
