If you don't seek to get lost, you can't be a husband if you don't want to be virtuous

A hundred years of time is shining, and his life experience is blistering

- "Enlightenment Chapter"

"I implore the immortal chief to include the kid and list the door wall for the time being!"

"Your Excellency has no fate, and you have no chance with the fairy road. Please come back!"

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Please take me as an apprentice!"

"Poor Dao has nothing to do with you. ”

"Alas......"

"Dao Chief, how about accepting me as an apprentice?"

"The quota is full. ”

"Oh. ”

"Old man, be my master. ”

"No, I can't. Later, when you go to the grocery store to peek at the boss's daughter, help me see if the sandalwood for the appointment has arrived. ”

"Good. But when I look at a beautiful woman, I am very forgetful......"

"Get out!"

The above is the young Zhang Xingyan, who has been talking to the old Dao Qinghe in the past few years.

Zhang Xingyan is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy with beautiful eyebrows and dark eyes. He grew up in a family of Zhuanghu since he was a child, and his parents were honest mountain people, and he relied on the mountains to eat at the foot of the Horseshoe Mountain outside Raozhou City of Poyang Lake.

Compared with other poor children from peasant families, the young man's awakening is nothing special. If I really want to say anything different, one thing is worth mentioning:

Although the Zhang family lived in poverty, Xingyan's parents still took the opportunity to let him study poetry and books with Mr. Ji from the Ji family private school in Raozhou City. His family was poor and could not afford the money, so the Zhang couple had to squeeze out some rations from their mouths, and often sent some seasonal wild vegetables as a bundle for Mr. Ji.

The name Xingyan was given by the old scholar of the Ji family's private school. Before, there was no awakening of this person in the world, only the Zhang family's dogs. When Godan'er was seven years old, his father Lao Zhangtou happened to work part-time at the family of Mrs. Ji of the big family in Raozhou City. Although he was called Lao Zhangtou, his father was actually in the prime of life at that time, but the farmer's work all night made him look older, so everyone called him Lao Zhangtou, and they all called him more smoothly.

It is said that the old Zhang Tou of these short-term workers happened to hear that Mr. Ji of Ji's private school is well-educated and kind, so he was bold and found the school to ask the old man to give his son a decent name under the recommendation of the Ji family's handlebar-style old grandson.

Listening to the farmer's sincere and frightened pleas, the kind-eyed old scholar Ji didn't take a stand, but only asked him what he wanted for his son's name. I didn't expect the old gentleman to choose a name and ask for his own opinion, but Lao Zhangtou was very flattered. So, the father of the dog, who had this precious opportunity, scratched his head and thought for a while, and then replied respectfully:

"After the season, the old minister, I often feel that the head of the mountain is fast, so they look forward to sleeping time less, so that the work will be longer, and you can turn over a few more acres of land. In addition to this, I also hope that my son will be able to speak more in the future, so that when he helps me sell mountain goods and local products in the future, he will not be bullied too hard by those who can speak well......"

Listening to Lao Zhangtou's request, Mr. Ji was stunned for a while, and he couldn't immediately say it as before - "Clever and quick-witted, relying on horses", these eight characters are Mr. Ji's comments on a certain study essay by his teacher when he was a teenager, and Ji Xuexue has been conceited of this since then. It seems that the gentle and elegant old gentleman doesn't seem to hear such a request as Lao Zhangtou,

Seeing that he was silent, the old Zhang Tou and the old Sun Tou who were standing at the bottom did not dare to come out, for fear of interfering with Mr. Ji's train of thought.

The old gentleman pondered for a long time, thought about it repeatedly, thinking that it should not only meet the real requirements of the villagers, but also not use the empty words "rich", "expensive", "clear" and "clear", and not to use the difficult and obscure words such as "莳", "荇", "葳" and "蕤".

After a period of upstacling and combining, Mr. Ji finally succeeded in determining the words "wake up" and "speak" before his sideburns sweated! Hearing him say it, Lao Zhangtou suddenly felt like a treasure, and immediately presented the old man with a basket of newly picked loquat from Horseshoe Mountain. Xiao Xingyan, when he was seven years old, completed the transformation from dog Daner to Zhang Xingyan.

The illiterate old Zhang Tou was inspired by the matter of choosing a name, and asked Mr. Ji to let Xingyan also sit in on the school class, so that he could learn a little longer, so that his son would not be illiterate like him when he grew up, and he couldn't even understand the names of his children. Although the bankers are short of money and silver, as long as Mr. Ji is kind enough to accept the little awakening, in the future, he will not hesitate to pay tribute to the four seasons of fresh melons and fruits;

At that time, for some reason, Mr. Ji listened to Lao Zhangtou's simple words, and suddenly felt strongly that he was tired of eating fish and meat paste at home, and he was quite moved by the melons and fruits promised by his father, and unexpectedly agreed to Lao Zhangtou's request.

Although it seems that the acceptance of such a poor child by the Wang family's private school seems to hurt Sven, but anyway, Mr. Ji is a respected clan elder in the Ji family, and with his intelligence and prestige, no one dares to question his actions.

It's just that at that time, even the old gentleman himself didn't expect that the matter of waking up and saying that he was a disciple turned out to be an adventure of his own, which made many famous scholars envious. Now, when Zhang Xingyan's name spreads all over the world, Mr. Ji Lao began to forget his teacher's eight-character comments back then, and instead praised him for his insight into Zhang Xingyan. Even when he was old and the signs of forgetfulness were becoming serious, he remembered every anecdote of his proud disciple back then!

What's more, Mr. Ji later changed the words that were rarely changed by people at the time from the original "Ming Chang" to "Ming Yan"; since then, whoever calls him Ji Mingchang will be anxious with whomever he wants. This change of the table word, the old gentleman has a deep meaning, so that every time the old man talks about himself, he can pull the other party to tell the origin of the table.

Besides, the young man said that although he entered a private school and could go to school, after all, he was a child of a poor family, and he couldn't be like his rich classmates, who were all over the school room, or fighting cocks and dogs and doing nothing. At noon and in the evening, he would also go to the Daoxianglou Restaurant at the entrance of the southern city to earn some pocket money for himself to use as stationery such as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for the school.

As for the beginning of this article, the head of the Immortal Master Dao Elder who has changed his name four times in his mouth is the Taoist sect "Shangqing Palace" on Luofu Mountain in Xunzhou, which was famous all over the world at that time - the Taoist priest who was responsible for purchasing Poyang Lake specialties in Raozhou, with the Taoist name "Qinghe".

Qing Daoshi is not young, and he was born skinny. Because of his infrequent combing, his sparse few locks of beard gradually grew, and over the years, it turned out to be quite large-scale. When fluttering with the wind, there is also a bit of fairy wind bones.

Although Qinghe Lao Dao is old, he still does this errand similar to miscellaneous labor. According to Xingyan's understanding, this should be because Qinghe Lao Dao is relatively stupid and can't do his homework in the Qing Palace, so he was sent to run around the city. At this point, although the two have been so persistent in apprenticeship every day for several years, they have long been familiar with each other. But just like the reverse scales of the evil dragon, as long as he wakes up and ridicules the old way, he will burst into a thunderous storm at the touch, and he must explain clearly to the young man:

I, Master Qinghe, came to Raozhou City, because the Qing Palace monks on the master's door paid special attention to joining the WTO, and there is really no more WTO position on Luofu Mountain. Therefore, to be assigned to this Raozhou good fate back then, it was really after fierce competition, overwhelming many outstanding colleagues, and finally won it!

In order to let this naughty boy accept what he said, the old man Qinghe would definitely mention that he was a senior Taoist priest in the Tianyi Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the Shangqing Palace, and later he only fought to come to Raozhou City in order to further his cultivation.

Although, when Qinghe Lao Dao said this, he was always proud, but if the young man was a few years older, and the city government was a little deeper, he would find that the old man's expression at this time was not so natural.

However, although if you judge people by their appearance, Qinghe will inevitably be classified as a first-class old and decrepit, but he has a flexible mind, is well-versed in the world, and never sticks to the identity of a monk when he does things-to take the old way of justice and awe-me-awe-inspiring words, that is his "way to enter the WTO"!

Regardless of whether Qinghe came to do this errand because of his lack of cultivation, anyway, in the eyes of Xingyan, Qinghe's old way's "entry into the WTO" has indeed reached the realm of perfection, so that he often has to calculate himself and let him handle all kinds of chores along the way for good fate.

It seems that the world's well-known Shangqing Palace is really extraordinary. Isn't this Qinghe old man exactly the typical example of the Shangqing Palace's application according to his aptitude? Therefore, this is even more important for the young man Zhang Xingyan's yearning and reverence for the Shangqing Palace!

A little boy with high ambition and wants to learn from the gods to climb into the sky;

It is said that the three poles do not wake up, and they dream of Tao Tao every day!

In fact, for Xingyan, the so-called seeking immortals is at best just a high-sounding reason for him to pester the old Taoist apprentice. The real reason for the apprenticeship is that the boy is now in the time to grow his body, and his appetite has increased greatly.

Moreover, he has no place to stay in Raozhou City, and he has to travel a long way every day to return to his home in the suburbs. Although a pair of legs and feet have been exercised very strongly, it is really not easy for such a young man as Xingyan to come down for a long time.

Therefore, if you can mix in the good karma, then at least you can have a place to stay. It's a pity, although Xingyan is very familiar with Qinghe Old Road, and occasionally he can also play in this "Qing Palace Raozhou Good Fate on Luofu Mountain", but this good fate is not only taken care of by Qinghe Old Road. Under him, there are also two little Taoist priests, Jingchen and Jingming. These two little Taoist priests didn't have a good face for him.

Perhaps, they are tired of borrowing from the awakening, or it may be excusable. Although these two Taoist priests are lowly in rank, it took a lot of effort to join the world-famous Qing Gao Daomen in the Shangqing Palace, and they all looked forward to learning a few Taoist techniques and returning to the glory township. Who knows, for some reason, they were sent here from afar to do chores, and for these devout seekers, it is no different from being sent to the army. Unlucky, even the book is not very easy to write, and it is a stomach of complaints.

Therefore, although Taoism pays attention to purity and inaction, but with this belly of bad luck, it is inevitable that he will not have a good face with the vulgar boy who rubs oil with Xingyan. And after all these years of experience between the school and the market, Xingyan is no longer the ignorant boy in the mountains back then. The negative opinion of these two miscellaneous Taoist priests has long been known.

Therefore, he has to rush to worship Qinghe as a teacher. If you become a member of the pure character generation one day earlier, you can eat and drink in vain in this good fate one day earlier!

What is very different from the view of Jingchen Jingming is that in the eyes of this little boy Xingyan, these Taoist priests who are in good karma are really in heaven. Don't worry about the lack of clothing and food, don't worry about the pain of rain and sun, talk about the whole thing, and receive donations from catechumens. At most, it's just a few street corners and some miscellaneous items - but even such an easy job can be done by three people in turn, which is so laid-back!

Compared with the part-time jobs that Xingyan has done, this is really a heaven and an underground! Rao is like this, but he still sees that the two little Taoist priests are frowning and sad all the time, and they don't know the blessings in the whole body! Every day on the way home to catch up with that long road, Xingyan often thinks about such a question in his heart.

In fact, it is no wonder that the young Zhang Xingyan has such thoughts, because he is now in an era when the people are quite poor, but Taoism is very popular.

At this time, the world is settled. It has just experienced years of war and conquest by separatist forces, and the population of the land of China has decreased dramatically. Whether it is the middle and lower class scholars, or the civilians at the bottom, they all have lingering fears about the precarious days before. Therefore, everyone in the world is now determined, from the royal family and nobles to the common people, they are tired of the noise of war and have begun to heal the wounds caused by years of war. In such a tide of the times, Taoism, which opposes military conquest and advocates purity and inaction, began to stand out from various sects.

At that time, the whole country admired Taoism, not only Taoist temples were full of incense, but even the literati and celebrities in the world also took the study of Taoist classics as a fashion trend. At that time, there were many famous Taoists in Shilin.

With such a background, the Taoist metaphysical style of pure talk is beyond imagination. These Taoist metaphysical discussions are also known as "micro words", "clear words", "clear discussions", and "clear arguments". Discussing and calling "Lao, Zhuang, and Yi" as "Taoist Sanxuan" became a fashionable topic for Qing talk at that time. Famous people who are proficient in the "three mysteries" are not only quick to think and talk eloquently in Qing Talk, but also write books and speak and have academic success. The world is called: metaphysicians.

It's just that although the title of "metaphysician" at that time could make people awe-inspiring, it was not easy to get the name. This kind of metaphysical talk about Taoism is often carried out all night, that is, the so-called "micro-speech". Some scholars have indulged in clear arguments and have reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, and there are so-called "those who eat left and right, and those who are cold and warm are counted four"; and even worse, there are a small number of famous people. In order to cope with and win in the conversation, he was tired and even died of exhaustion after thinking hard all night.

Mr. Ji, the teacher who said it, is also a celebrity in the local forest. In this tide of Taoism with surnames across the country, it is naturally not exempt from vulgarity. Whenever there is a mood, the old gentleman will talk about metaphysics in addition to teaching.

However, with the knowledge and interest of the teenager at that time, he really couldn't understand what the interested teacher was saying, so he just stared blankly at the old gentleman's mouth that seemed to never stop, and only prayed in his head that the school class would end soon:

I was anxious about whether I could catch up with the short-term workers in Daoxianglou, worried that I would be scolded by the fat tent if I went late, and I was afraid that I would be taken the opportunity by the iron rooster Liu shopkeeper to deduct my wages......

In this sobering mind, many distracting thoughts came one after another, just like the white clouds and dogs, but none of them were related to the theme in the lecture hall.

So, Mr. Ji Lao was on the stage talking about lotus flowers, Xuanzhi and Xuanzhi, and his disciple Zhang Xingyan was sitting down and wandering thousands of miles.

However, in Mr. Ji's speech, there are occasionally one or two stories that are not so boring, and they are inadvertently noticed by the awakening. A certain old gentleman mentioned that Guo Jia, the son of Wei in the east of Raozhou City, was weak and easy to talk about, and once made an appointment to fight Xie Kun, a famous man in Weishui, but in the all-night debate, he was refuted by Xie Kun who came from afar and foamed at the mouth, and died of an old disease!

Looking at the sad appearance of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold" when the teacher talked about this, Xiao Xingyan was very relieved in his heart, and decided that although he would continue to strive to blend in with the good fate of the old Dao Qinghe, he must pay attention in the future, and he can no longer chat and fight with the old Dao all night!

Since Taoism is popular and official names are admired, the number of people who volunteer to join Taoism has also increased greatly. Since the demand is strong, there are idlers who come to have fun.

As a result, in the past few decades, there have been many Taoist sects that have risen to prominence. What aurora, total emptiness, beginning, unity, bye, the name is more empty than a void, and one is more mysterious than a mystery. However, among these many Taoist sects that are mixed with good and bad, the ones that are really famous all over the world are still the three major Taoist sects with a long history and deep-rooted:

Miaohua Palace in Weiyu Mountain, Shangqing Palace in Luofu Mountain, and Tianshi Sect in Heming Mountain.

There are many female Taoists in Miaohua Palace, and the Shangqing Palace worships the two classics of "Shangqing" and "Jade Emperor"; Tianshi Sect is also called "Heavenly Master Dao" and "Five Bucket Rice Sect", which is rumored to be created by Zhang Daoling and Zhang Tianshi, and has the widest believers and the most powerful in the Three Great Dao Sects.

Unlike Miaohua Palace, which takes the women's route and Tianshi Sect which takes the mass route, Shangqing Palace, where Qinghe is located, as one of the three major sects, is relatively high, and its practice is mainly based on Taoist classics such as "Jade Emperor Sutra" and "Shangqing Sutra". Its religious name is Shangqing, which comes from the reverence for the Taoist Sanqing patriarch.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the name of the Shangqing Palace won the favor of scholars, and the royal allocation of thousands of hectares of fertile land, Luofu Mountain, where it is located, a large mountain field with a radius of 500 miles, was also officially named the private property of the Shangqing Palace. On the contrary, the Heavenly Master Sect, who was more famous among the poor people, was not liked by Shilin.

In fact, it is necessary to carefully trace back to the source, and this Shangqing Palace has a lot of connections with the Heavenly Master. It is said that the two religions were originally one family, but a certain generation had a dispute due to a disagreement on the understanding of the doctrine, so Zhang Daoling's descendant, the fourth generation of Heavenly Master Zhang Qing, moved the sect to Heming Mountain, known as the "Heavenly Master Sect". And those left-behind religious elders founded the Shangqing Palace, and since then they have become their own faction.

For most of the poor people, the Shangqing Palace at that time undoubtedly symbolized a paradise of abundant food and clothing. If anyone can have anything to do with the Shangqing Palace, it will be a worry-free life. Not starving for the rest of their lives was a remarkable thing in the hearts of most poor people at that time - perhaps, it was a beautiful thing that could only be dreamed of again when sleeping in a dream!

When he was still an ignorant child, he realized that life was difficult, and when he became sensible, he had to fend for himself. For Xiao Xingyan, who wants to run for food and clothing, it is really natural to keep his eyes on this "Shangqing Palace Raozhou Good Fate".

But unfortunately, the Shangqing Palace was very strict in its selection of apprentices because of its high name, and at the same time, Xu was also afraid that the food would be too large to deal with, so he ordered his subordinates to accept apprentices strictly. Therefore, there is a dialogue between the opening and Qinghe Laodao, the content is similar and the form has turned straight down in those years.

After many years of talking, Xingyan is still a red dust. The only result is to get acquainted with the old Dao Qinghe.

Having said this, Xingyan finished his routine apprenticeship and went to Daoxianglou, which was two streets away, to work part-time. By the way, he also went to complete another of his usual homework: on the corner of the East Gate on the road, he peeked at Li Xiaomei, the daughter of the owner of Li Ji's grocery store.

This move is not to blame the young man for being precocious. At that time, people generally married early, and it was not for nothing that a teenager like Zhang Xingyan who was fourteen or fifteen years old was married and had children, but Xingyan's family was poor and could not afford to marry. At this age, he already has a hazy and hazy impression of women. This Li Xiaomei is the wonderful woman in his mind. In his eyes, Li Xiaomei has good skin and bright eyes, no matter how good she looks, it is no wonder that she is the first beauty in this age group in Fangyuan and two streets!

In fact, if you want to be more real, then Li Xiaomei is also a typical son and daughter of the market, she is just young and lively, and she really can't be called a beauty. But what does it matter? For a young man who is just beginning to fall in love, in his mind, the girl he likes is the most beautiful.

Perhaps, if you look back after a few decades, you will feel incredible when you recall your obsession with a certain girl. It's just that that's decades later.

When passing by Li Kee's grocery store, the boy did not forget Qinghe's entrustment. After all, if you ask about the existence of the goods, you can blatantly look at Li Xiaomei a few more times!
