Chapter 30: The Newcomer
"Okay, did you say, why are you so troublesome?" Zheng Dongliu was sitting on a wooden chair at this time, his face full of impatience, and at the same time his mouth kept babbling. If it weren't for his fame, it is estimated that no one would associate him with the name "Songdang Stream's first seat" when they saw this scene.
"It's coming, it's coming. Yun Wanzhou agreed as he walked from outside the hall. I saw him smiling and holding a tea cup in his hand. Zheng Dongliu glanced at Cheng Linyuan, who was at a loss in front of him, shook his head slightly, rolled his eyes, and said, "Is it necessary to be so particular, doesn't it mean anything?"
Yun Wanzhou was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head and said: "No, master, everyone has watched everything you do for one of the four major heads, let alone accepting apprentices." Zheng Dongliu opened his mouth, looking a little depressed, and he had to mumble a few words in a low voice after holding back for a long time.
At this moment, if someone is present, I am afraid that my jaw will be shocked, because no one believes that Zheng Dongliu will accept an apprentice again after many years. The reason why the word "actually" is used is probably because Zheng Dongliu once got angry on an important occasion and said: "If the old man accepts another apprentice in the future, let me..."
And this time the apprentices, Zheng Dongliu and Yun Wanzhou did not want to publicize the outside world, and I don't know if it was to save someone a face of "talking and talking", or because the qualifications of the apprentices to be accepted this time were generally not on the stage at all? But even if there were other plans in his heart, Yun Wanzhou's joy was not concealed at all, perhaps as Zheng Dongliu said, "the two are quite fated".
Yun Wanzhou walked to Cheng Linyuan, who was standing in the hall, handed over the tea cup in his hand, and said softly: "Quickly send this tea to the master, remember to kowtow three more times, and this apprenticeship will be considered complete." Cheng Linyuan smirked and took the teacup, this expression fell in Zheng Dongliu's eyes, and he suddenly felt that this new apprentice was unsatisfactory, he sighed impatiently and said, "Hurry up!"
Cheng Linyuan was startled, then reacted and hurriedly stepped forward, raised the teacup above his head and bent over, "Master, please drink tea." Zheng Dongliu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yun Wanzhou, who smiled and said clearly with his eyes: "That's right, I taught it!" Zheng Dongliu rolled his eyes, thought about it and took the teacup, and at the same time said a faint "um".
Cheng Linyuan felt a lightness in his hand, and hurriedly knelt down again and said, "Master, please accept the apprentice's worship." After that, he kowtowed respectfully three times, and the three sounds of "bang bang" were heard in his ears, and it seemed that the strength was not light and there was no moisture. Zheng Dongliu's face changed for a moment, as if he was touched, and inadvertently felt that this kid was not so bad, and he was also happy that the logistics and cultivation might not be bad.
After a while, Zheng Dongliu nodded and said, "Okay, now that you and I have the status of master and apprentice, you can get up first." I have a few more words to say to you. Hearing this, Cheng Linyuan slowly stood up and saluted, "Yes, Master!"
"First, as my Liuyun disciple, you should put your master first in everything in the future, and you can't stand idly by and watch anything that endangers your master. Second, I Liuyun Valley is a famous sect of the righteous path today, and all kinds of secret methods in the door are peeped at by outsiders, you must remember not to pass on the secret method to others, let alone steal the practice of foreign schools. Third," Zheng Dongliu seemed to want to speak and stopped, and after a pause, he sighed softly and continued: "Third, in recent years, the Demon Sect has the intention of resurrection, the Demon Sect and the demons are all evil, everyone will be punished, you must cultivate diligently to improve your cultivation, if you see the Demon Sect demons in the future, you must not be tolerated, you must kill them and then quickly! Do you understand?"
These three sentences are powerful, especially when the last sentence was spoken, Zheng Dongliu's face already had a serious look, and even Yun Wanzhou on the side put away his smile. Cheng Linyuan repeated the word "Demon Sect" in his heart, quietly clenched his fists, and said slowly: "Yes!"
Zheng Dongliu nodded, and after a sigh, he didn't mean to speak again. There was silence in the hall, and only the sound of the wind outside the house told the vividness of the outside world. Zheng Dongliu raised his eyelids and looked at the newly recruited apprentice in front of him who was silent, although his eyes were blank, his hands were clutching his clothes, as if he had thought of some sad past.
Zheng Dongliu sighed slightly in his heart, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Yun Wanzhou looking at him. The two looked at each other, and after only a while, they saw Zheng Dongliu roll his eyes, snorted and got up to leave. Zheng Dongliu thought for a while and said: "There are still some door rules and various matters that will be taught to you by your senior brother, if there is anything unclear, just ask him questions." With that, he lifted his leg and walked out of the hall.
Cheng Linyuan said in a low voice: "Yes." At the same time, he stepped aside and stood respectfully. Yun Wanzhou frowned, stopped Zheng Dongliu and said, "Master, that sect's mental method..."
"You just teach him, with a senior brother like you, who everyone praises, do you still use my old bones?" Zheng Dongliu waved his hand and walked out of the door. Yun Wanzhou looked at the back of the shopkeeper who shook his hand and was speechless, who knew that a sentence came from outside the hall: "You can settle it yourself, don't bother me, the old man is busy..."
Yun Wanzhou was completely speechless.
After a while, Cheng Linyuan walked up to Yun Wanzhou and whispered, "Did I anger Master somewhere?" Yun Wanzhou glanced at him and said with a smile: "No, don't think about it." Master seems to be a little colder, but in the future, you will find that Master is actually very good. ”
Cheng Linyuan nodded, as if he was just saying it casually. "By the way, I have to thank Brother Yun for this!" As soon as Cheng Linyuan finished speaking, he saw Yun Wanzhou looking at him with a smile, he was slightly stunned, and then lowered his head and said, "Senior Brother Yun..."
Yun Wanzhou laughed, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, very happy. Cheng Linyuan's heart warmed, and he inadvertently glanced outside the hall. The light and shadow are dotted, and the mountains are leaning on the green, although it is the first time to see, it seems to have been accompanied for many years.
It turns out that this is my home from now on.
With a faint smile, Cheng Linyuan quietly loosened his clenched fists. Just like a few days ago, the state of mind when Lu Si was collected in the wooded mountains.
What is the point of running away?
After all, people have to face the things in front of them.
―――――
"The rules of this door are divided into four prohibitions, six precepts and eight taboos, a total of 114 articles. At the same time, there is also the "Qing Rules" compiled by the elders of the precepts in the sect, which must be memorized by new disciples. You have to remember to study for more than two hours a day, otherwise you will be punished for breaking any rules in the future, and even the master will not be able to speak. Yun Wanzhou put the two books with new covers on the wooden table, Cheng Linyuan stared at the thickness of the two books added up to a palm's width, and suddenly one head was eight big! But the words were already very clear, "If you make a mistake, you will be punished, and you can't be tolerated", so she had to respond with a wry smile: "Yes." ”
Yun Wanzhou nodded and continued, "In addition, you must do your homework every day. Perform the exercises once in the morning and once in the evening, and complete the experience of the new disciples before the hour, otherwise there will be no breakfast to eat, an hour of meditation in the afternoon, and two hours of practicing the sword and practicing the Tao... Well, that's pretty much it. Nothing wrong, right?"
Cheng Linyuan's mouth opened slightly, and he finally came back to his senses and nodded again and again: "No, no." Yun Wanzhou thought for a while and said, "By the way, because the big test in the sect has just ended a few months ago, there will be some gaps between you and other new disciples, and that's why you can't slack off." Of course, there is plenty of free time every day. ”
Cheng Linyuan's eyes lit up, and he sat up a few straighters and said, "Is it a lot?" Yun Wanzhou smiled and nodded: "The time to sleep is all free." ”
“......”
Yun Wanzhou shook his head and smiled: "Okay, I won't tease you." Except for what I said before, you have to do the rest of the exercises strictly in the first two years. As for the two years later, after the introductory experience, no one will look at you, and the time will be much more relaxed. As for the rest, it's up to you. ”
Cheng Linyuan didn't want to be lazy, but he was just startled by too many things to be done every day, and he didn't look too happy at the moment. Instead, he asked, "Senior brother, how many new disciples have been admitted to the sect this year?"
Yun Wanzhou thought for a while and said, "Sixty people, nothing has changed." My uncles in Songdangjian should have only accepted eleven people, and the rest were divided into the other four veins. Cheng Linyuan hesitated for a moment and asked again, "How many people came at the beginning?" More than 800 people. ”
“......”
"Okay, I'll tell you everything. From today onwards, you can't have a trace of slackness, you have to work hard to cultivate, understand?" Cheng Linyuan nodded and said, "Yes, senior brother." Yun Wanzhou was quite satisfied, got up and was about to leave, and said at the same time: "I will take you to learn more about the introductory experience in the next few days, and someone will bring you dinner and bedding later." In the meantime, you should take a good look at the rules and precepts. ”
Cheng Linyuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I can get it myself, don't bother others..."Yun Wanzhou shook his head and said: "It's up to you in the future, not today." Seeing Cheng Linyuan's stunned face, Yun Wanzhou smiled and said: "At the beginning of the hour, I will come over to pass on your true method, your first contact may take a little longer, be patient." ”
Cheng Linyuan remembered that Yun Wanzhou had demonstrated the Dao Fa in front of him, and his heart was excited, and he nodded again and again.
Yun Wanzhou smiled: "Then you can watch it yourself, I'll go first." With that, he turned around and walked away without any fuss. also closed the door for Cheng Linyuan.
Cheng Linyuan sat at the wooden table, finally calmed down, took a deep breath, and slowly opened the door rules to look.
―――――
After Yun Wanzhou got out of the small courtyard, he walked straight to the left. On the Songdang Stream, on the top is the residence of the first and his personal disciples, in addition to the places where the wind hall and the Sanqing cave are discussed and cultivated. As for other people, such as the elders and their disciples, they all live on the mountainside at the foot of the peak of Songdang Stream, firstly, to show their respect, and secondly, to give Yimai Shouza and his disciples a relatively pure environment.
On the top of the peak, after passing through the wind hall, there is the first residence of Zheng Dongliu, and the outer circle is a house for his disciples to live, a total of thirty-three rooms. Unexpectedly, the first seat of Songdangjian in this generation is a strange person, and he has only accepted three apprentices for many years. Therefore, so many houses are almost random to choose, and which one to live in is the envy of countless disciples of other bloodlines.
The place where Yun Wanzhou lives is at the turn of a mountain road not far ahead, surrounded by no one but green bamboo, very quiet. Who knew how far he hadn't gotten yet, Yun Wanzhou heard someone behind him desperately chasing after him, and turned back in surprise, only to see Cheng Linyuan running in front of him holding the door rules, and stopped talking.
"What's wrong?
Cheng Linyuan's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he muttered for a while: "Senior brother, I, I can't read..."
“......”
