Chapter 633: Enlightenment
As a master like an immortal outside the world, leaving a spiritual inheritance is obviously the first priority, whether it is a child or a disciple, there is no difference. However, when a master accepts disciples, he must identify and select the qualifications of his disciples, and he will never accept a disgrace who has no future in cultivation as a successor. Only for one's descendants can it be possible to pass on everything regardless of qualifications.
"And the martial arts family, for the family martial arts, is often passed on to the son but not the daughter. Only when there is no son and no apprentices with satisfactory qualifications can it be possible to pass on martial arts to daughters. ”
Ji Shengdian continued, "So if our father wants to take in apprentices, it should be mainly men. Even if we are accepted as heirs by him because of our excellent qualifications, we should first clarify the identity of master and apprentice, rather than the name of father and daughter. Because the disciple can continue the Taoist system, and the daughter marries out of the family and becomes a member of the husband's family. ”
"yes, yes. Ji Lingxing nodded again and again, "It can be seen that my father is very open-minded, although almost all of the heirs are daughters, they are also treated equally, and they have taught us all the martial arts in their lives, and they don't care if we will change the court." ”
The blonde girl waved her hand, "Xiaoling, you're not entirely right. ”
"What's wrong?"
"Originally, the tenth sister should also be a girl. ”
Ji Aojian suddenly felt lightning and thunder on his head, and said depressedly, "What do you mean that I should be a girl?"
The ninth sister said in surprise, "Should all of our family be girls, but what went wrong?"
"You both went wrong. Ji Shengdian looked calm and said in an orderly manner, "After I can remember, I see that every one to several years in the family, a younger sister comes. Suddenly, I couldn't help but wonder, how many sisters will come?"
"Can you know this in advance?"
"Absolutely. Ji Shengdian calmly recounted, "I went to ask the eldest sister, and the eldest sister took out a form that said that we had a total of twelve sisters, and even indicated when they were born. ”
Xiao Ling Xiaojian was confused. "You can know this, how do you calculate it?"
The eldest sister said that this was the result of my father's calculation of the heavens, and it had been exactly the same every time so far. Ji Shengdian smiled, "I'll take a closer look, it turns out that the ones after me are not all sisters, and the ninth born should be younger brothers." ”
Ji Aojian snorted, and suddenly remembered that the third sister had said this, and his father had originally estimated that the ninth sister was a boy. The name has been set to Ji Crazy Knife.。
Sure enough, Ji Lingxing sighed, "Why did I make a mistake?"
"The way of heaven is unpredictable, how can manpower be everything?" Ji Shengdian touched her head, "Although the younger brother we had been looking forward to didn't come, we were still very happy when we saw Xiao Ling. And, on second thought, twelve of us are girls. There's nothing wrong with that. ”
Ji Lingxing sighed, "Then except for me." It's supposed to be a girl, why did Xiaojian become a boy again?"
The blonde girl had a smile on her face, "Xiaojian was born ahead of schedule, and perhaps some unexpected changes have occurred because of this." ”
Ji Aojian suddenly felt a chill on his body, and asked boldly, "I was born early." What does that mean?"
"Originally, according to the calculation of heaven, the younger sister who came out after Xiao Ling should be Xiao Ai three years later, and Xiao Ai will be Xiao Su a year later. In another three years, it will be the last sister. Ji Shengdian covered his mouth and smiled, "But somehow, two years after Xiao Ling was born, my father came over with another child, and we thought it was Xiao Ai who came in advance." As a result, my father told us that this was supposed to be the last child, who came five years earlier and became a boy. ”
"This is too unscientific!" Ji Aojian protested angrily, "I was born as a child, why do you think I came early?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Ji Lingxing said calmly, "What kind of calculation is this, one mistake can be wrong again, and mistakes will be added to mistakes, you don't have to care." ”
Ji Shengdian smiled, "That's what we thought at the time. But the father said that if this child was born too late, he might not be able to catch up with the cultivation time in the future and miss the period of ascension, so there was a glimmer of heaven in the underworld, and he changed her life against the sky and came to the world in advance. ”
Ji Aojian was simply dizzy, "Third sister, this is too mysterious!"
"It's really not easy for Xiaojian to change his life against the sky. Ji Lingxing said with emotion, "I didn't say it five years in advance, and I even became a boy." ”
Ji Shengdian said solemnly, "The tenth sister came out in advance, and it happened to fall into the Duanyang Festival, which is the most prosperous day of the year, so with the help of heaven and earth, he changed from a woman to a man." ”
Ji Lingxing nodded again and again, "This explanation is very scientific, very scientific. ”
"So our family is called the Twelve Hairpins of Jinling, which is natural and deserved. ”
"The third sister is so right. Ji Lingxing said excitedly, "No wonder the tenth sister has the talent to be the world's number one maid, she is already destined in the dark." ”
Ji Aojian said reluctantly, "Don't discuss such an unreliable thing, I have other questions." ”
"Huh?" the blonde girl nodded, "What other questions do you have?"
"My father only sends his child home every time, and we have very few opportunities to contact him, how did we practice this martial arts inheritance?"
"When it comes to cultivation, the master leads it in, and the cultivation is personal. Ji Shengdian said lightly, "There is a rule in this family, enlightenment at the age of four, enlightenment at the age of ten, and the road of martial arts mainly depends on oneself." ”
Ji Aojian asked, "What does it mean to be enlightened at the age of four and enlightened at the age of ten?"
"Enlightenment is to learn words and read. Ji Shengdian said, "In our family, a four-year-old person is not only the age of the first to go to school, but also the age of martial arts. When I was four years old, I followed my eldest sister and second sister to study literature at a private school at home. ”
"Oh, I still have a private school?"
"Look at what you say. Ji Lingxing glanced at him, "We are a big family, is it strange to run a private school?"
Ji Shengdian continued, "The one who taught us enlightenment and reading was a well-educated master, and this old gentleman taught him very carefully, and we also respected him very much. After a few years, the old master couldn't teach, and when he went home, we stopped inviting Mr. ”
"Why don't you ask for it again?"
Because in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, the old gentleman also regarded "Female Commandments", "Women's Training" and "Biography of Women" as our necessary homework. Ji Shengdian sighed, "The eldest sister and I will work together, if we find another gentleman, most of them will also arrange these boring things for us, anyway, we are already literate, so it is better for us to enlighten the younger sisters." After that, starting from the fifth sister, you don't have to take these as homework. ”
Ji Lingxing clapped his hands and said, "The eldest sister is wise, and the third sister is wise." ”
"We are a martial arts family, as long as we are literate and can understand the secrets of martial arts. Of course, you can also read miscellaneous books as long as you want. Ji Shengdian said with a smile, "This family has a lot of martial arts classics, and the eldest sister took us to practice martial arts while flipping through the books. ”
Ji Aojian asked, "Is this how you learned it, and my father didn't teach us?"
"The basic martial arts of this family, my father has carefully taught the eldest sister and the second sister. Ji Shengdian said, "And we don't have to wait until my father comes back to start practicing martial arts, so from the beginning of me, the eldest sister and the second sister will teach on my behalf." ”
Ji Lingxing said, "After the introduction of martial arts, we have been practicing the basic skills diligently for many years, and we have to practice hard in the martial arts field every day." ”
"Oh. Ji Ao Kendao, "Then what does it mean to be enlightened at the age of ten?"
"Every time my father comes back, he will stay for three days to guide and inspect our martial arts. Ji Shengdian said, "If we have reached the age of ten and have our own understanding and ideas about martial arts, we can ask him for advice on difficult questions about martial arts." ”
"Is three days a little less?"
Ji Shengdian said lightly, "Don't you know that listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years? Martial arts is a matter of one's own practice, and where you are confused, you should think about it yourself, become enlightened by yourself, and learn to solve problems by yourself." Every few years, we can ask the great masters of the world for advice on the difficult questions that we have been thinking about, and this is already a very rare opportunity. ”
"My father has never come back since he sent Xiao Su. Ji Lingxing said, "I didn't have the opportunity to be instructed by his old man in person. ”
Ji Aojian calculated, "The last time my father came back, the seventh sister and the eighth sister have not yet reached the age of enlightenment. In other words, there are only six sisters in our family who have been enlightened by their fathers?"
"In fact, at the beginning of our martial arts practice, many questions were actually very simple, as long as we discussed with each other, or asked the eldest sisters for advice, we could get answers. Ji Lingxing explained, "Several sisters are enlightened by their fathers, we are enlightened by our sisters, and the cultivation of our sisters is improving day by day, and our progress will not be slow." ”
Ji Shengdian smiled, "Although my father has not come back since then, Xiao Ling, you can go to the incense and ask to see you." ”
"yes, yes. Ji Lingxing nodded, "After we reach the age of ten, we can still have a stick of incense every year and get the enlightenment of our father." ”
"That, Ninth Sister, I have one last question I want to ask you. ”
The little girl said, "What's the problem?"
Ji Aojian took a deep breath, "Are you enlightened at the age of four, or at the age of eight?"
"Tenth sister!" Ji Lingxing's face turned dark, "You're starting to feel uncomfortable again, aren't you?"
"No, no, I'm really just curious and want to ask. ”
"I can tell you the answer. Ji Shengdian said slowly, "When you reach the age of enlightenment, we feel that Xiao Ling, as an older sister, cannot be left behind you, so the two of you are enlightened at the same time." ”
"Oh, that makes sense. ”
"After the answer, Xiao Ling, you can beat him. Ji Shengdian got up slowly, "I'll go for a walk." (To be continued.) )
