Chapter 3 Acceptance of Disciples
"Confucianism is based on the scriptures, and you must read more and memorize them until you are in a peaceful state of mind before you can enter the Tao. The woman said.
"Yes. Zhang Puyu nodded. The family has few resources, so he can only enter the Tao with Confucianism, and his mother is sent to a private school to study for a few years in order to facilitate her own care of the store. That's when I got the opportunity to practice.
"Although the qualifications are poor, the understanding is good. If you don't have the understanding and perseverance to practice all the way, no matter how good your qualifications are, you won't be able to go far. The woman looked at Zhang Puyu with satisfaction and said, "I'll ask you." ”
"Senior, please say," At this time, Zhang Puyu was insulting himself by what his predecessor said before, and he was a little dissatisfied in his heart. The tone of his speech was also a little more casual.
The woman didn't care and asked, "You said that the cunning rabbit and the turtle are racing, who will win?"
"Cunning Rabbit, of course. Zhang Puyu didn't know it, but said with certainty.
"Which cunning rabbit and turtle swim in the water?"
"Of course it's a tortoise. Zhang Puyu continued to answer without thinking.
"Yes, it's the same between people, everyone has their own strengths, and there will be different situations in different environments. Moreover, the cunning rabbit is very active and uncertain, and if it really races with the turtle, it may not win. The woman's fingers lightly touched her knees, and her eyes looked at Zhang Puyu lightly.
Zhang Puyu thought for a moment and realized in his heart, "Thank you for the teachings of my predecessors, I will definitely remember." ”
"Immortals, don't eat the fireworks of the world. But people have seven emotions and six desires. It's rare that you're a kind person, and I've decided to take you as a disciple, are you willing?" The woman looked at Zhang Puyu indifferently.
"I really do this just to thank my seniors for teaching me, and nothing else. Zhang Puyu hurriedly argued.
"I know, now I ask you, would you like to take you as an apprentice?" The woman still said flatly.
"Of course I do!" Zhang Puyu hurriedly knelt down and performed the apprenticeship salute.
"Do you know the Xuanhuang Sect?" the woman asked.
"I know, that's one of the three largest sects on the entire continent," Zhang Puyu quickly replied.
"Since I want to accept you as an apprentice, I should tell you some of the master's situation, I am a disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect, and the Taoist name is Ziying. Ziying introduced.
The disciple remembered. Zhang Puyu hurriedly responded.
"Okay, get up!" Zi Ying nodded in satisfaction. Looking at Zhang Puyu's detention appearance, he took out a strange piece of jade and handed it to Zhang Puyu: "After you build the foundation, you can take this piece of jade to Xuanhuang Sect to find me." ”
"Yes, Master" Zhang Puyu carefully took the jade block in her hand, and her heart was full of joy.
"But I'm talking about it before, if you don't have a foundation, you don't have to go to me, and I won't recognize you as an apprentice. Zi Ying said unceremoniously.
"The disciple knows that it has arrived. Zhang Puyu nodded, cheering herself up in her heart, hoping to build a foundation and find the master as soon as possible.
"Well, since you worship me as a teacher, I will pass on a book of exercises to you. As he spoke, he took out a piece of jade slip and a bottle of pill from the storage bag and handed them over.
"Thank you, master. Zhang Puyu hurriedly took it in his hand, and his hands trembled a little excitedly.
"This is a high-priced exercise, you can cultivate to the end of the pill, and there is only this bottle left on the master of the solid qi pill and it will be given to you, you will have to work hard in the future. Ziying put on the appearance of a master and taught earnestly.
"The disciple will definitely persevere and strive to find the Master as soon as possible. Zhang Puyu stood more respectfully, but his heart was beating straight, high-priced exercises, and solid qi pills. If these things are known in Kaiyuan Town, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble, after all, I am only a first-order qi cultivator, and I don't have the ability to protect the things in front of me very well.
"Okay, you go out, I'll stay here for a few days" Ziying waved her hand and sent Zhang Puyu out.
Zhang Puyu hid the things next to his body, returned to the room as if nothing had happened, quickly closed the doors and windows, and hid everything.
I didn't notice anything wrong with the left and right, so I walked out of the room and walked towards the front yard.
Throughout the day, although Zhang Puyu had a normal look on her face, she was very anxious in her heart. I hope that the sun hanging in the sky will set early.
"What's wrong with you?" In front of the counter, Cheng Xuanxuan looked at the ledger in his hand and asked.
"No?" Zhang Puyu shook her head, sweating in her palms: "I just feel a little flustered and unwell." ”
"Oh!" Cheng Xuanxuan replied and ignored it.
When the moonlight climbed up the treetops, Zhang Puyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the house, Zhang Puyu was in front of the table, drinking tea casually, and then climbed into bed, covered with a quilt and fell asleep.
After half a ring, seeing that there was no movement around, Zhang Puyu got up and took out the hidden jade slip. Sneaking into the quilt, injecting spiritual sense into the jade slip, an exercise called "Chaos Decision" appeared in front of him, thousands of words of exercise content, Zhang Puyu looked at it word by word, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, although this exercise now does not see any profoundness, but perceived the profundity and breadth of this exercise, the more he read, the more obsessed.
Thousands of words, for Zhang Puyu, who entered the Tao with Confucianism, is not too difficult, and in one night, Zhang Puyu memorized all the exercises in his mind.
By the time I came back to my senses, the morning sun was already shining into the house. I didn't sleep all night, but Zhang Puyu didn't feel any tiredness. After packing up, I walked to the front of the courtyard, cooked breakfast, and sent it to each courtyard. Only then did he come to the No. 1 room of Tianzi with a beautiful breakfast.
"Master?" Zhang Puyu knocked on the door softly, shouting in a very small voice, afraid of being heard.
"Come in!" Ziying said from inside the house.
Pushing the door in, Ziying had already changed into a set of clothes and was sitting cross-legged on the futon.
"Master, have breakfast. Zhang Puyu set the specially prepared breakfast.
"With my current cultivation, I can completely skip eating. Ziying looked at the rich breakfast in front of her and was a little funny.
"Master, this is the apprentice's heart," Zhang Puyu said with a pleading face.
"Okay, isn't it!" Looking at Zhang Puyu's expression, Ziying picked up a porcelain bowl with white porridge and drank it.
"Master, I'll leave this to you. Zhang Puyu waited for Ziying to finish breakfast, and handed the jade slip to Ziying.
"What's wrong?" Ziying looked at Zhang Puyu with some puzzlement,
"Master, all the apprentices are recorded here, this exercise is so rare, I'm afraid that the protection will not be good, and if I lose it, I'll be sorry Master." Zhang Puyu pointed to his head and said. A look of confidence.
"Since that's the case, it's okay!" Ziying was very happy to take the jade slip back to her heart, a rare kindness, but she didn't expect the person she met to be good.
"What don't you know about the exercises?" Ziying asked.
"This exercise is really profound, and it is very difficult for the disciples to see it, and there are many things that they don't understand. Zhang Puyu said embarrassedly.
"Okay, now I'll explain the exercises to you. You have to listen carefully. As he spoke, he took out some small flags from his storage bag and stuck them in the house. Zhang Puyu looked at it with admiration, this is the formation.
