Chapter 7 Apprenticeship and Eyebrows

On an official road, a Taoist boy wearing a dark Taoist robe looked at the sun in the sky while walking. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info When this child doesn't look at the sun in the sky, he also looks at the scenery on the surrounding mountains.

Suddenly, I saw this Dao Tong walk to the side of the road, sit on a stone, and curse and say, "Damn the four-value Gong Cao, can't you send me directly to Yimei! It turned out that this Dao Tong was Shen Xian, who came to the world of "One Eyebrow Dao Chang" alone.

I don't know if the four-value Gong Cao was intentional or unintentional, he actually teleported Shen Xian to a small mountain village. No one in the small mountain village saw where he came from, and when they saw him dressed in Taoist clothes, they only thought that he was a master of Taoism. He bowed down to him and didn't listen to any explanation he had, and finally he had to explain to the villagers that he didn't have enough mana and was going to find a senior who was advanced in Taoism to learn the Tao, and everyone got up. At that moment, some people said that he had come to the right place, and when he asked carefully, he knew that there was indeed a Taoist with vast powers and boundless magic power nearby, who often came here to cure diseases and drive away evil spirits, so the people here especially trusted the Taoist. And the Taoist that the villagers said was exactly the one he was looking for. He was very happy when he heard the news at first, but after inquiring again, he learned that Yimei Daoist actually lived in a small town on the other side of the mountain.

If you go to the town on the other side of the mountain, you have to walk 50 miles on the official road, and you have to walk 7 or 8 miles to go over the mountain. Shen Xian wanted to go over the mountain, but he heard from the villagers that there were ghosts and monsters in the mountain. Now he is in a difficult situation, he doesn't know what to do, whether there are ghosts in this mountain for the time being, all kinds of beasts are not unarmed and he can deal with. It is far away to take the official road, although it takes some time, but it is better than safety.

After thinking about it, Shen Xian asked the villagers for some food and drink, and then walked on the official road. No way, it's better to slow down than risk your life. So there was the previous scene, after walking more than ten miles, I was too tired to walk, so I sat down and rested for a while.

When Shen Xian came, it happened to be not long after the sun came out, and the trees on the mountain were lush at this time, and the weather was also very hot, it should be summer, and the sun came out later in the mountains than in the plains. He speculated that it was about seven o'clock in the morning, when the mountain people just came out to work, and it was the time when the village was most frequented, so they were caught by the villagers. Walking to the present, looking at the height of the sun, he estimated that he had walked for more than an hour. If you can maintain this speed, you will be able to reach the town in just over four hours. But he knew that his speed would only get slower and slower. Thinking of this, he quickly got up and continued on his way.

At around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Xian, who had been walking and stopping along the way, finally arrived in the town before the sun went down. After inquiring all the way, I finally found the Taoist hall with a single eyebrow. He looked at the dilapidated door, which had been painted off, and knocked hard a few times.

It took a long time for the door to open from the inside. The person who opened the door was the one who was eyebrows, and he looked like Uncle Ying.

The Taoist glanced at Shen Xian a few times before he spoke: "This Taoist friend is going to place an order?" He saw Shen Xian's dust, thinking that he was a traveling Taoist priest, passing by here and wanting to borrow it.

Shen Xian was a little excited when he saw Yimei, but he still straightened his thoughts before replying: "The disciple is specially here to visit the Dao Master!"

"Oh, then please come in and talk!" Yimei saw that although Shen Xian's tone was humble, he did not salute, and he didn't know whether he was friend or foe for a while, so he had to invite him into the house.

The two of them came to the lobby one after the other, and when they arrived in front of the spiritual seat of the ancestor master, they lit three sticks of incense and handed them to Shen Xian. Shen Xian looked at the spiritual position, and saw that in addition to Sanmao Zhenjun, there was also a portrait of the Sanqing Patriarch on it. So, he took the three sticks of incense, knelt on the futon, and bowed three times and bowed nine times. He didn't understand Taoist etiquette, but he only knew that performing the ritual of three bows and nine bows was the best way to show respect. And he had been to the heavenly realm, so he naturally knew that Sanqing was real, so he sincerely prayed and asked Patriarch Sanqing to bless him with a smooth apprenticeship.

Seeing this, Yimei was a little surprised, but he still showed a smile. Generally, the practice of placing an order is similar to that of home practice, and if there is no big sacrificial ceremony, there is no need to bow three times and bow nine times.

After Shen Xian finished serving three incense sticks, he led him to the Eight Immortals table on the side to sit down. Yimei poured a cup of tea for himself and Shen Xian, and then asked, "I don't know what happened to You's poor Dao?"

Shen Xian hesitated for a moment, then suddenly got up and knelt on the ground, and said to Yimei: "Dao Chief! Actually, the disciple has no cultivation foundation at all, and this time he came to find the Dao Master, but he actually came to apprentice!"

He pondered for a while and asked, "Why do you want to cultivate? Each side will accept two disciples, on the one hand, so that someone can give a start when the demon is subdued, and on the other hand, there can be someone to keep the party safe after he leaves. In fact, he had just arrived in the town, and he was preparing to accept two disciples. But seeing that Shen Xian so solemnly proposed to apprentice, which was completely different from the disciples he had accepted before, he also thought about it.

Shen Xian organized his words, and said with a serious expression: "The disciple not only wants to become an immortal and live forever, but also wants to subdue demons and subdue demons, and even more wants to see clearly. All these things cannot be attained unless you cultivate the Tao. Please grow into the Dao!" This was not actually what he wanted to say, he just wanted to engage in this exercise and go back to practice. This was something he saw from a certain book, and he felt that it was particularly appropriate here, so he used it, and remembered that the book seemed to be called "Immortal Vocational and Technical College".

Listening to Shen Xian's words, his eyebrows were almost moved, but he still said: "There are countless people in this world who seek immortals and visit the Tao, but there are few who really become immortals! If you don't become an immortal after a few decades, or fall on the road to subdue demons and subdue demons, your life's hard work will turn into smoke! Won't you regret it!"

Shen Xian said firmly: "If people don't pursue it, what is the difference between it and salted fish! Since you have made a choice, you must have the consciousness of bearing the consequences." I will never regret it, Dao Chief, please accept me!"

After thinking about it for a while, he finally agreed: "Okay! Then I will take you as an apprentice! You live here first, and then hold the apprenticeship ceremony on an auspicious day in the coming day!"

When Shen Xian heard this, he stood up excitedly and said, "Thank you, Master! Thank you so much, Master!"

Yimei stopped and said: "Wait, you have to wait until the end of the apprenticeship ceremony to call me Master! What you have to do during this period makes me dissatisfied, and I have the right to regret it at any time!"

"Ahh

Yimei had already turned around and left, and said to Shen Xian before going out: "You go and chop the firewood first, and then cook and eat later!"
