Chapter 1 Young Ye Sheng
In the Zhao Dynasty, a quiet mountain village, a temple that seems to be isolated.
"Master......" A young man's crisp voice was heard in the distance, followed by the sound of da-da-da-da, from far to near, "Master." The boy poked his head out of the threshold to peek in. Seeing that the master was meditating quietly and did not chant sutras, he ran in with a smile, "Master...... Still didn't hit the hare...... I picked mushrooms for you. ”
An old host sat cross-legged on the futon and opened his eyes with a smile: "You don't study the scriptures well, run to find mushrooms to do." Although you are not a Buddhist, you are too disrespectful to talk about eating hares in front of your teacher......" The old host scolded with a smile, but there was no trace of anger between his eyebrows.
The young man shrank his head quite obediently, scratched his head and smiled: "Master...... I haven't eaten meat in three months......"
"You kid...... "The old host couldn't cry or laugh, "in two days, your teacher's friend will come over, you have to show respect, that's a cultivator." ”
"Master's friend?"
The old host didn't answer, got up slowly, walked to the door and overlooked the whole mountain, and sighed: "There is a way of heaven, the whole country is in chaos, don't say that there is no hare in a mountain, under the Zhao country, where is there a stable place?"
"What is the master talking about?" the young man thought silently in his heart, but he didn't dare to interrupt the master.
"Ye Sheng. You have no father and no mother. As a teacher, he used to take a hexagram for you back then, but there was no result. You were picked up by the teacher at the gate of this temple back then, and were wrapped in a mat, and there was a fallen leaf on the mat, so it was named Ye Sheng. ”
"In two days, my teacher's friend will come, and because he has received some guidance from me, he will help you enter the sect. It's a holy place for monks, remember. Keep your attitude down. The old host sighed, "Ye Sheng, since you are not from the Buddhist family, then the teacher has to let you embark on this path......
"Cultivation ......" Ye Sheng quietly clenched his fist, and the immortal ...... He listened to the introductions of many senior brothers, it was a realm that was out of reach of mortals, and when he thought of this, the look of anticipation in his eyes was even stronger......
In the world of Zhao Kingdom, there are countless sects hidden that mortals don't know, these places, some people, can not reach in a lifetime, and some people, even if they arrive, choose to quit.
Cultivation and cultivation, a legend that only exists among mortals, although it is only two words, contains a great secret. Human saying: If one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. But I don't know the hardships and loneliness behind this.
Those who cultivate the Tao cultivate their hearts and retain their energy. What you want is to cut off the red dust, regardless of fame and fortune. It is necessary to have great qualifications and perseverance. In this way, there is a saying between the cultivation realm and the mortal realm.
Hone their ambitions and refine their souls. This is the reason why the old host decided to send Ye Sheng into the sect.
The next day, before Ye Sheng went out, the purple qi came from the east, and a young man with long hair flying stepped on the void, and almost in the blink of an eye, he came to Ye Sheng!
The young man clasped his fists behind Ye Sheng and bowed!"Disciple to meet Master!"
Ye Sheng looked back in amazement, and saw that the old host had floated behind him at some point. Seeing the comer, he said indifferently: "Zhou Tong, since you have crossed the ranks of cultivators, then naturally you don't need to call me a master, just do the courtesy of your peers." ”
The young man shook his head: "Zhou is not ungrateful. A teacher for one day, a teacher for life. This is Zhou's obsession!"
The old host was silent, and then sighed lightly: "It's okay...... If you have this in mind, then I will entrust you with what I will do later, and I hope you will do your best to do it......"
When the young man heard the old host's words, he turned his eyes to Ye Sheng. "Is that the kid?"
Ye Sheng didn't dare to raise his head to look at him, under his eyes, he seemed to be defenseless, and no secret could escape his eyes.
The old host Yihui sighed: "Zhou Tong, if you respect me, he will be your junior brother, and you must not be rude." ”
When Zhou Tong heard this, he was slightly stunned, and owed himself to the old host. Retracted his gaze.
"Still not salute?" the old host drank to Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng reacted at this time, and hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed, "Ye Sheng, see you......" He gritted his teeth and looked at the master's expression: "Meet, Senior Brother Zhou." ”
A trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in Zhou Tong's eyes, and he quickly hid it well: "No courtesy." If you have the determination and perseverance, you will do your best to help you. ”
Immediately, he said to the old host: "Master, the disciple has come out this time, the sect has another task, and let the little junior brother stay here for a few more days, make some preparations, and when I come back after completing the task, I will take him forward with me." Okay?"
"That's very good. The old host nodded, "You go." I have something to say to your junior brother. ”
When Zhou Tong heard this, the inexplicable color in his eyes became even stronger. As if he didn't dare to disobey the old host, he just bowed slightly and walked away.
Person......
Ye Sheng thought in his heart. He is also 14 years old this year, and when many people went up to the mountain to ask for a fortune telling, he learned to read words and colors.
This titular Senior Brother Zhou seems to be polite to the master, but he can't help but seem a little contrived. first talked about his respect for his teacher, but he did not practice the gift of master and apprentice. seems to be a little concerned about himself, but in fact, he is stingy inside. It can be seen in his unbridled probe. No matter what, Ye Sheng himself had already made up his mind in his heart that he would not easily go with such a person!
"Ye Sheng, what are you thinking?" the old host asked him.
"No master. Ye Sheng shook his head.
"I know you have a point, but it doesn't hurt to say so. ”
Ye Sheng glanced at the old host, then looked at the direction in which Zhou Tong left, and still shook his head.
"Ye Sheng......" the old host was helpless, "I know what you're thinking." If it weren't for the many restrictions on being a teacher, how could you ask for your senior brother's head? Just one sect ......"
When the old host said this, he seemed to remember something again, so he didn't say anything. Ye Sheng looked up curiously, trying to see something. I saw that the master's eyes were like a deep pool, and the ancient well had no waves, and Ye Sheng had to give up.
"Ye Sheng, you remember. The old host's eyes showed a rare kind look, "You were brought up by me since I was a child, I know you are playful, but I also know that you are a smart child." Don't trust others in anything, and don't treat yourself badly......"
Ye Sheng nodded. Suddenly, he asked again, "Master...... Once you're there, can't you go back here?"
"The sect has its own rules. ”
"But ......"
"Child, you have to remember that if there are ties, it is difficult to have a long journey on the path of cultivation. ”
The old host bowed his head and groaned, and stuffed the Buddha beads in his hand into Ye Sheng's hand. "Hold...... If it is not a matter of life and death, do not take it out in front of others, otherwise you will be killed. ”
"When you are successful in your cultivation, I will go to you. ”
With that, he brushed his sleeves and left. Ye Sheng was stunned, and the master's words of advice came from his ears again. "Three days later, your senior brother Zhou Tongzi will come to pick you up, pack your clothes and go with him......"
"Master, what about you?" Ye Sheng shouted into the mountains.
"For the teacher...... Going out for a while......"
Ye Sheng packed up his clothes, packed them in some boxes made of rattan, and took away the pair of bells that the master hung at the head of his bed, and stuffed them in the middle of a pile of clothes. The Buddha bead was held in his hand, and he didn't know where to put it. After thinking about it, Ye Sheng wrapped it in strips of cloth, and then went to pick a few oranges, which were also wrapped in strips of cloth, put them together, and covered them with clothes. That's reassuring.
For two days, Ye Sheng went to the master's room to look, and the things were still there, but there was no one.
Ye Sheng thought about it, looked around again, and then ran to the mountain stream.
Two pine trees, to the east, three steps, Ye Sheng looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he squatted down and began to dig in the ground.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Ye Sheng had an extra jar in his hand that looked a little tattered. It was Ye Sheng who dug it out of the soil. Ye Sheng took the jar, looked around again, and wiped the soil on it. This jar was picked up by Ye Sheng in a cave in the mountains more than a month ago. Speaking of the situation when he picked up this jar, Ye Sheng always felt weird.
This jar was buried in the soil at that time, and when Ye Sheng walked into the cave, he saw it glowing. At that time, Ye Sheng was delighted, and dug it out without thinking too much, the light was wrapped around the jar little by little, and it dispersed after a while, he thought he had picked up a treasure, but he didn't find that it had any effect, only after being buried in the soil for a long time, the jar would have a glow, this light was just chicken ribs, and it had no effect. Ye Sheng couldn't help but want to drop it a few times, but when he thought of its strangeness, he didn't give up, and kept hiding here.
Ye Sheng thought about it for a while, but decided to take it with him.
The rooms of the temple were empty. When Ye Sheng slipped back to the room with the jar, he thought a little sadly that as early as the peak of the temple, there were many senior brothers living here, and now they are all gone. The troubled times of the Zhao Dynasty are not over yet, and the family is gone, who will come to the mountain to ask for a signature. The downfall of the temple gave them the opportunity to return to the world, but it also gave them the embarrassment of being in troubled times.
Back in the room, Ye Sheng let go of his sad thoughts and began to think about how this jar should be placed. This jar doesn't look like much, but if you look closely, you feel quaint, and your heart will be attracted to it. The more Ye Sheng looked at it, the more he made up his mind, this jar couldn't be snatched by anyone.
Thinking like this, Ye Sheng found some thick strips of cloth and wrapped it up, the jar was not big, slightly smaller than the vase, and placed it close to his chest, just not abrupt. Ye Sheng jumped twice, and the jar stayed there steadily, so that he could relax his mind.
The rest of the time, Ye Sheng walked around the temple for two days, as if he wanted to remember this place firmly. He knew that he didn't know when he would be able to come back.
In the early morning of the third day, Ye Sheng was waiting on the top of the mountain. It wasn't until noon that Zhou Tong appeared.
"Where's your master?"
Ye Sheng noticed that he was talking about "your master", not "master".
He replied quietly, "I have gone on a long journey." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Tong had a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"In that case, then you can come with me. Zhou Tong didn't even look at Ye Sheng, and grabbed it with his big hand, and a cold wind blew invisibly, blowing Ye Sheng into the air.
"Senior brother...... Ye Sheng didn't panic, just pointed downward, "There are still two boxes of clothes here......"
"Hmph!" Zhou Tong snorted coldly, "Cultivators, don't value foreign objects, what are you doing with so many clothes!"
"This is what the master told me to bring. Ye Sheng was neither humble nor arrogant, and looked at him.
Zhou Tong's face changed a little uncomfortably, and he stopped talking, then glanced at Ye Sheng coldly, and with a wave of his hand, he rolled up the clothes on the ground.
"Where has your master gone?"
"I don't know. Ye Sheng replied, thought about it, and added, "Before leaving, the master said, at least three days, at most several months, don't repay Senior Brother Zhou." ”
Zhou Tong's face was cloudy, he thought for a while, stopped talking, and walked away with Ye Sheng.
"Before entering the sect, you must not speak loudly! You must not be rude to other fellow brothers and sisters! You must not be arrogant!"
Ye Sheng nodded yes.
Zhou Tong said again: "Our sect is called the Six Dao Sect! The two characters of the Six Dao are taken from the Six Paths of Samsara! Your senior brother and I are a member of the Heavenly Dao! These will be understood by you after you enter the sect. ”
"When you enter the sect, there will be some tests, and those who pass the tests will become outer disciples. ”
Zhou Tong said, throwing a jade pendant from nowhere. Ye Sheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it.
"When you give this jade pendant to the person who tests the outer disciples, it will naturally allow you to pass the test without passing the test, after entering the outer gate, if there is anything, you can go to the inner gate of the Heavenly Dao to find me! Don't say that I didn't remind you, there are many rights and wrongs in the outer gate, and the sect will not care about things like killing people and robbing treasures, unless you become an inner disciple, can the sect really pay attention to it." Be careful. ”
Ye Sheng nodded.
Zhou Tong stopped talking, and with a wave of his hand, the speed slowed down, and the wind was no longer so harsh, it seemed that it had arrived.
