Chapter 30: Apprenticeship to Shangqing (II)

Gao Qi lived in Shangqing Temple for more than ten days, and Lin Gongyu's cold poison was getting better day by day, so he was relieved. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info After breakfast that day, Gao Qi brought Lin Gongyu into the Danfang of the Lingxu Dao Chief. As soon as Lin Gongyu entered the Lingxu Danfang, he saw the Lingxu Taoist sitting cross-legged on the futon, and a middle-aged Taoist priest standing beside him, Lin Gongyu lived in the Shangqing Temple for a small half a month, and the main characters in the view had also recognized a rough idea, knowing that the middle-aged Taoist priest was Chang Jinping, the sixth disciple of Lingxu. Lin Gongyu didn't know what Gao Qi brought him to do, so he had to look at him timidly. Gao Qi saluted Lingxu, and then said to Lin Gongyu: "Yu'er, salute the two Taoist leaders." Lin Gongyu knelt down on his knees, kowtowed, and said, "Meet the two Taoist leaders." Lingxu said: "Hurry up." How old are you this year?" Lin Gongyu replied, "Hui Dao Chief, I am eight years old this year. Lingxu said: "Have you ever learned martial arts?" Lin Gongyu said: "Hui Dao Chang, I haven't learned, I love to learn martial arts, but my mother doesn't allow my father to teach me." ”

When Gao Qi heard this, he couldn't help but imagine the daily life of Lin Zhiqi and his wife, thinking that Lin Zhiqi was deeply affectionate and considerate and obedient to Chen Wanxing, and he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and secretly thought: "If Wanxing marries me, I will definitely obey her, even if she wants the moon in the sky, I will also want to take it off for her." ”

Lingxu smiled and said, "Are you willing to worship the Shangqing faction and learn martial arts from us old Taoists?" Lin Gongyu glanced at Gao Qi and saw that he was stunned, so he had to say, "Yes." Lingxu pointed at Chang Jinping and said, "He is my sixth disciple, let him be your master, are you willing?" Lin Gongyu couldn't help but glance at Chang Jinping, seeing that this Taoist priest had a kind face and a moderate figure, he was looking at himself with a smile, and he was very reluctant in his heart. Although he was young, he was also a little smart, so he said: "Old Taoist, I want to worship you as a teacher?" As soon as Lin Gongyu said this, Lingxu and his disciples couldn't help but be stunned, you must know that the status of the Shangqing faction in the rivers and lakes is not inferior to Shaolin, and it is rewarded by the imperial court, Lingxu is the second only person in the Shangqing faction to Zhang Tianshi, and in the past 20 years, the affairs of the Shangqing faction have been taken care of by him, and I don't know how many people in the rivers and lakes want to worship him as a teacher, which is a hundred times more difficult than ascending to the sky.

The child's words are unscrupulous, this little child doesn't know the height of the sky, and he actually said the matter of apprenticeship casually. Lingxu has not accepted a disciple for more than ten years, and the youngest disciple is more than ten years older than Lin Gongyu, and he was not only stunned when he heard Lin Gongyu's words, but then laughed dumbly. Gao Qifang came back to his senses, and couldn't help but be stunned after listening to Lin Gongyu's words, and hurriedly said: "Senior brother, Yu'er is ......" Lingxu waved his hand and said, "Why do you want to worship me as a teacher?" Lin Gongyu said: "Back to Daochang, Uncle Gao is your junior brother, if I worship Daochang's apprentice as a teacher, if I see Uncle Gao as a teacher, I will call Uncle Gao Zu, and I will also call Brother Qingshi as my uncle, isn't that a generation?" Gao Qi, when the master accepted you as a disciple, you were about the same age as him, and now I will also accept a yellow-mouthed child as an apprentice, this is the will of heaven, or so, the old Taoist will accept you as a closed disciple. ”

Lingxu's words, Gao Qi and Chang Jinping looked at each other in amazement, and saw Lingxu's smile on his face, not like a joke, he couldn't believe his ears for a while, but he didn't dare to say anything to stop him.

That is, with the intention of accepting disciples, Lingxu became anxious, and was busy choosing an auspicious day to prepare for the acceptance of disciples. As soon as the news came out that Lingxu wanted to accept Lin Gongyu as a disciple, everyone in the Shangqing faction was surprised and puzzled, and Lingxu's disciples and grandchildren all felt that the ancestor master's approach was too hasty, and there was an extra milky junior brother and uncle out of thin air, and he didn't know how to call it in the future, but no one dared to speak out against it, but just discussed it in private.

Gao Qi didn't expect that the senior brother would accept Lin Gongyu as an apprentice, but he was also very happy, he could become a disciple of Lingxu, and Lin Gongyu would definitely be of great benefit in the future. He thought about it and felt funny, when he apprenticed to Zhang Tianshi, he looked at his brothers and nephews who were dozens of years older than him and were at a loss, and then lived in Shangqing for a long time, and always felt that those older teachers and nephews always deliberately avoided him, and gradually he was older, only to know that he was young and apprenticed to Zhang Tianshi to bring a lot of embarrassment to those teachers and nephews, until later Gao Qi's martial arts became stronger and stronger, and the reputation of the rivers and lakes became more and more famous, and those teachers and nephews gradually became convinced, and now Lingxu Senior Brother imitates the master, Lin Gongyu is in the same situation as himself, is a blessing or a curse, I don't know what the future will be。

On the fifth day of the eighth month after the auspicious day of the zodiac, on this day, the deacon of the treasury prepared incense tables, tributes, firecrackers, fireworks, worshiped the three Qing and four emperors, and the Lingxu Dao chief made incense offerings to the ancestors of the past dynasties, and worshiped the mountain peak where Zhang Tianshi lived in seclusion. Lin Gongyu wore the customs clothes of the Shangqing faction to the mountain peak where Zhang Tianshi lived in seclusion and Lingxu Dao for three bows and nine bows, and then offered tea to Lingxu, presented the teacher's post, Lingxu took a sip of tea, took the apprenticeship sticker, and blessed Lin Gongyu with empowerment. After all the rituals were finished, Lingxu said: "Lin Gongyu, although you are a lay disciple, you must also respect the three refuges and five precepts. Lin Gongyu said: "Yes." Lingxu senior disciple Chong Yuanzi held the yellow scroll in his hand and recited the door rules and precepts, and Lin Gongyu followed and recited respectfully.

After the recitation, Lingxu Daoist said to Lin Gongyu again: "Yu'er, from this moment on, you are my closed disciple, our Shangqing faction has been established by the Eastern Han Dynasty Ancestor Tianshi Daoling Patriarch for more than 900 years, and it is the authentic Xuanmen in the world, and the world has been canonized by the imperial court. The Taoist sect of the world calls me the Shangqing faction a righteous one, what is the righteous one? The righteous one is not evil, and the other is not mixed. The heart of righteousness is the unity of all laws, so it is said to be one. We cultivators and martial arts people, martial arts are still second, character is the first, he day you walk the rivers and lakes, you must stand upright, chivalrous and righteous, the world first. Lin Gongyu said: "The disciple respectfully follows the master's teachings. ”

The rules of the Shangqing faction are complicated, and the ceremony of apprenticeship does not end until the time of the card. During the whole apprenticeship ceremony, Lin Gongyu's mind was empty, how others guided, he did it, and he secretly looked for Gao Qi's figure several times but did not find it, he endured the panic and anxiety in his heart, and completed the apprenticeship ceremony.
