Chapter 8 Apprenticeship to Yuan Zhenzi, Practicing Wedding Dress Gong 1
Yuan Zhenzi carried Mo Chou to look into the sky, his first flight, he didn't dare to open his eyes for a while, only to hear the wind whistling past his ears, and he felt that his heart was up and down, thinking that if he accidentally fell, wouldn't everything be over?
Yuan Zhenzi said behind Mo Chou: "Open your eyes, there is a teacher here, there is no need to be afraid." ”
Mo Chou only had the courage to open his eyes, he looked around left and right, but saw the white clouds passing under his feet, looked down again, and thousands of mountains and rivers under him passed by in a flash; and then looked behind him, there was only a little yellow light left in the huge Xiangyang, thinking that it was the lights of thousands of homes in the city. The yellow light faded, and in the blink of an eye, it was never seen again.
He thought to himself that in the blink of an eye, Yuan Zhenzi took him to break through the sky, and he had actually flown out for two or three hundred miles, and he suddenly felt speechless, and said secretly: "If I have such ability, am I afraid that I won't be able to find my parents?"
The master and apprentice flew all night, and at this time Mo Chou was already used to the sword, so he was not as excited as he was at the beginning. Boredom, I suddenly remembered that the master went to Xiangyang City, eighty percent of it was for Wu Tiande's business, although I don't know what it was, but Wu Tiande had begged Yuan Zhenzi and his daughter to be an apprentice, but Yuan Zhenzi didn't seem to want to agree, so he pleaded with him Yuan Zhenzi and said: "Master, the apprentice accepts one is to receive, and two is also to receive." Why did you also accept Sister Wu as an apprentice?"
Yuan Zhenzi glanced at him, and said after a while: "As the teacher said, her immortal fate is not with me, and it is not groundless." In a few years, when the opportunity came, someone would lead her into the Tao. Don't meddle in your business, just mind yourself. Remember that you are most afraid of half-heartedness on the road to cultivating immortals, if you are dedicated to the Tao, you should put all your mind on your homework, and ignore the rest. ”
Mo Chou answered, and then didn't say anything more.
Around noon, a round of bright sun was in the sky, and a towering mountain was in front of Mo Chou before he met. At this time, Yuan Zhenzi suddenly changed the magic trick, pinched his fingers and sealed, and then pointed to the mountain, and read: "Open!"
Without waiting for Mo Chou to understand what Yuan Zhenzi had done, he felt a ripple suddenly appear in the void, and the two of them passed straight through with flying swords, Mo Chou's eyes flickered, and the scenery in front of him changed again. When I looked at the mountain again, I found that there was a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain. The master and apprentice jumped off the flying sword, and then saw a giant turtle lying at the door, the turtle carried a large stone plaque on its back, with three big characters on it, and the pen walked the dragon and snake wrote: "Spirit Turtle View"
This mountain exists in the south of Taihang Mountain, named Tongtianxia, across Shanxi, Henan two provinces, there is no severe cold in winter, there is no scorching heat in summer. At that time, it was late autumn, Mo Chou stood and looked back at the whole mountain, only to see that the mountains were full of colorful colors, bright and dazzling, after looking at it for a long time, it was easy to make people intoxicated in it, it was really a rare cave blessed land.
Yuan Zhenzi took him to the door of the Taoist temple, and at this time, the turtle who opened the door raised his head, only opened one eye and glanced at it, and then closed it again.
Mo Chou had never seen such a big turtle, so he took a few more looks, the giant turtle just lay in place, the turtle's back was more than a zhang high from the ground, the two broken corners on the top of the head, the incision was smooth, and no one cut it off.
He remembered that his mother often said that in front of the caves of various sects and sects, there would often be spirit beasts guarding them, so that the sects could suppress their luck. The predecessors of these spirit beasts, most of them were unruly aliens, and they were later subdued by powerful people, so they were willing to help people take care of their homes and homes.
Mo Chou saw that the giant turtle was pitiful, and couldn't help but plead with Yuan Zhenzi: "Master, this big turtle is too pitiful, let's reward it for saliva and drink." ”
"Hahaha!"
I heard a wild laugh behind me, and when I looked back, I saw the giant turtle poking its head out and laughing in the sky. When he saw that the giant turtle's laughter was no different from that of a human, he was so frightened that he took three steps back and hurriedly hid behind Yuan Zhenzi.
"Yuan Zhenzi, where did you come from, it's really funny! You even pretend to reward the old man for a sip of water? Hahaha! If the old man wants to drink water, why do you need to ask someone!?"
Before Mo Chou could clear his mind, the giant turtle actually spoke. When it finished speaking, it had a large mouth, three rows of sharp teeth on each side, and shimmering cold light in the sunlight. But listening to the sound of snorting, it rumbled loudly, like thunder that shook the sky. Not long after, a desolate water dragon flew from each of the three mountains, and it was swallowed into the belly of the giant turtle in an instant.
After drinking the water, the giant turtle said to Mo Chou: "If you have the ability, let Niu Bi take the town stone away, and wait for the old man to kill this Laoshizi spirit turtle without leaving a piece of armor, and you can also accept your personal favor and leave a whole corpse for you, okay?"
Mo Chou listened to the murderous intent in its words, and thought to himself: "This giant tortoise is so brutal and murderous between the lines, maybe it will be like before." The master suppressed it in front of the door to control the wind, which can be regarded as a benevolent house. ”
Yuan Zhenzi didn't pay attention to the turtle, but just told Mo Chou: "Mo Chou, this turtle has lived for 8,000 years, and it has been a teacher to help a few friends, so it has been suppressed here." In the future, if it still tricks you to help it get out of trouble, you can tell me that the teacher will have his own way to clean it up. ”
Mo Chou answered, and at this time, the door of the Taoist temple was pushed open, and a couple of men and women walked outside the temple. The girl looked like she was seven or eight years old, and the man was older, and her eyebrows were somewhat similar to Li Yi. When they saw Yuan Zhenzi returning, they stepped forward and bowed together, "Apprentices welcome Master back to the mountain!"
Yuan Zhenzi nodded, and then asked the two of them, "During the days when the teacher was not in the temple, you two didn't delay your homework, right?"
The man said: "Carefully follow the master's teachings, I have not stopped practicing with my sister for a moment, and I have never delayed. ”
"That's fine. Yuan Zhenzi said, and pointed to Mo Chou behind him and said: "This is a new apprentice for the teacher, named Mo Chou, in the future, it will be your four junior disciples, and we will practice together in the 'Spirit Turtle Temple' and take care of each other." Don't worry, go to Sanqing Hall with me to talk...... You two come along. With that, he walked straight towards the temple.
He followed Yuan Zhenzi to the Taoist temple, just walked in, only to know that there is another cave in the Lingjiao Temple, but see the pavilions and pavilions, the corridor and the water pavilion, standing everywhere, dotted with a large hall in the middle of the jade building, auspicious and colorful xia is not lacking, highlighting the means of the immortals. There are four big characters on the top of the door beam, which read: Heaven and earth are three clear
Yuan Zhenzi walked in front, leading his three apprentices into the Sanqing Palace.
Mo Chou was the last to go in, he stood at the door and looked into the hall, the Sanqing Hall was different, the furnishings in the hall were very simple, four vermilion lacquer pillars supported the beams, more than ten Taishi chairs were placed in two columns, the east wall and the bottom were in the middle of the offering table, and the incense burner on the table was still smoking green. There is a portrait of the Sanqing patriarch hanging on the wall, the portrait seems to have been sketched a few strokes, but it is also in shape, just right, at a glance, you can know that it is from the hands of famous teachers.
At this time, Yuan Zhenzi walked to the offering table and put on the pillar incense, casually read a few words of the article in the "Dong Xuan Jing", and then turned to Mo Chou and said: "Mo Chou, I have told the ancestor about accepting you as an apprentice, the previous 'Qilin Order', even if you give the apprenticeship to the teacher, and then worship the master tea, you can be regarded as an introductory disciple of the poor Dao." Nalan, go and bring tea to your junior brother. ”
The female apprentice Nalan Shufang answered, turned around and left, her legs and feet were fast, and after a while, she returned to the hall with a cup of hot tea. After handing it to Mo Chou with a smile, he returned to his place and stood still.
Mo Chou thanked Nalan, and then respectfully handed the tea to Yuan Zhenzi, kneeling and bowing three times.
After worshipping, Yuan Zhenzi took the tea, just took a sip, put the tea aside, nodded and said, "Very good, now, you are a disciple who is already a teacher." Since you have worshiped the master, you must know the heel of the teacher, Hao'er, you tell the origin of the teacher to your junior brother, if you make a mistake, you will be punished to copy the "Dongxuan Sutra" 3,000 times. ”
When the second apprentice Li Hao heard this, he immediately said: "Obey the master's decree...... Fourth junior brother, you are very good, the master Dao is Yuan Zhenzi, the teacher is the simple and elegant real person of the Eagle Palace of the Xiaoyao Sect, and the third under the ancestor seat. The Loose Sect is one of the top ten Daomen leaders in Kyushu, and the Spirit Turtle View and the Vulture Palace are connected with each other, and they communicate with each other in the past, so we can be regarded as people of the Loose Sect. When the junior brother walks outside in the future, don't report the wrong name and make people laugh. ”
Yuan Zhenzi listened, and saw that Li Yi said nothing wrong, and said to Mo Chou: "After entering the immortal gate, the rules cannot be disobeyed, this faction calls itself 'free', and the door rules are naturally much less than those of other families, but if you accidentally violate the door rules, all of them are capital crimes! If you are wrong, the punishment will be the same as that of your second brother. ”
Nalan answered, stuck out his tongue at Mo Chou, and then whispered: "Little junior brother, listen well, I'll only say it once." There are three rules: one is to respect the teacher, the second is to respect the way, and the third is not to make friends with demons and evils. Do you remember?"
Mo Chou nodded and said, "Thank you, senior sister, junior brother keep it in mind." ”
Yuan Zhenzi stroked his beard and said loudly: "You will follow the teacher to cultivate in the future, and you still need to know some common sense." Let's talk about the four realms of cultivation first, the first of which is called 'building the foundation', which is the simplest, as long as it is the same as the mortal martial artist, induce qi into the body, and open up the two veins of Ren and Du, which is the entry. Then go to practice the remaining six veins, as well as the twelve canons, and practice the three treasures of essence and spirit, so that they can be turned into Taoist Zhenqi and stored in the Dantian Purple Mansion. Wait until the Purple Mansion is full of true qi, and the true yuan is as mellow as a pearl, no longer afraid of cold and heat, not knowing hunger and thirst, and reaching the valley and avoiding vulgarity, this realm is a great success.
"The second realm is 'Jindan', and the teacher is the monk of this realm. After the foundation is built, supplemented by the samadhi true fire, the Zifu Zhenqi is condensed into Jindan, and the Jindanwu rotates in the Zifu, and this realm is initially formed. Among them, the method of knotting the Dan is not the same, and the Xiaoyao faction takes the path of the 'Sword Pill', which is the most difficult to practice and the most powerful. When the golden pill is first formed, it can rotate for a week in a breath. In the future, if you don't slack off condensing Jindan, when Jindan can make nine turns in one breath, it will be the culmination of this realm. After that, there are two realms, one is called 'Yuan Baby' and the other is called 'Creation'. Lest you be so ambitious, just remember your name today, and you don't have to understand it. You can write it down, repeat it and listen to it as a teacher. ”
Yuan Zhenzi said this, in fact, Mo Chou learned it from his mother's mouth, and immediately repeated it word for word in front of Yuan Zhenzi.
After hearing this, Yuan Zhenzi said with satisfaction: "I have a good memory. One of the two people in front of you is your second senior brother Li Hao, and the other is your third senior sister Nalan Shufang. You also have a senior brother, named Fang Wancheng, he learned art early, and he has been a teacher for the longest time, and now he has succeeded in learning art, and he is practicing outside, and he has made some fame. For the teacher and apprentice have always been taught according to their aptitude, your two senior brothers are spiritual roots of fire, and they have learned the "Fire Virtue Sutra" of this door to complement each other, and your senior sister has a spiritual root of water, and she passed on her "Weak Water Gold Medal" as a teacher. And your spiritual root is metal, and the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" is suitable for your cultivation. Are you literate?"
"Returning to the master, the apprentice knows. ”
"That's good, you take this secret book to memorize, if you don't understand, ask your senior brother and sister, if you can't do it, just ask for the teacher, don't drill the horns of the bull, behind closed doors, otherwise beware of going crazy!"
Yuan Zhenzi said, took out a secret book with a purple page cover from his sleeve and handed it to Mo Chou. Mo Chou silently took over the secret book that recorded how to practice the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill", but his heart was overturned, he thought: "How can the master say that I am the spiritual root of gold? How can I tell him, if this matter is revealed, won't the master know that my background has been lying to him? When the master expels me from the school in anger, how can that be good?"
Just as Mo Chou hesitated, Yuan Zhenzi said to Nalan Shufang and Li Hao again: "Your junior brother has just entered the Dao Gate, and you are inevitably impetuous, and you want to learn spells. The 'Tao' is not yet strong, and if you are excessively obsessed with the 'technique', it is to abandon the original and chase the end. So no matter how hard he begs, you can't pass on any magic or swordsmanship to him, and if the teacher finds out that you have passed it on to him, go to the wall of the White Curtain Cave. It's not early, Nalan will take your junior brother to choose a side room to rest, and there will be evening classes after the mountain falls, so you can't be late. Li Hao, you stay, as a teacher, I have something to say to you alone. ”
Hearing this, Nalan Shufang and Mo Chou saluted and said goodbye to Yuan Zhenzi, and then left the Sanqing Palace, leading the junior brother to the east wing. On the way, she saw that Mo Chou was cute and handsome, and now that the master was not around and no one cared about her, she showed her true face, only to see her use both hands, pinch Mo Chou's face left and right, and play with him like a rag doll.
Mo Chou respected her as her senior sister, and she didn't resist at first, but later, when she found that Nalan was becoming more and more unscrupulous, she immediately became a little angry and pushed her hard.
But under this push, not only did he not push Nalan away, but he was shaken away by the wind and almost fell. Seeing this, Nalan hurriedly helped him up, and said apologetically: "Senior brother dissipates his anger, senior sister has just built the foundation, and Gang Qi can't be independent. If you don't let me pinch it, I won't pinch it, but don't tell the master about it, or he will punish me for copying books again. ”
Mo Chou saw that Nalan didn't have the intention to make him ugly, so he didn't dig deeper, but said: "Since this is the case, then the senior sister promised not to pinch me or pinch me in the future, and I will not inform the master of this matter." ”
Nalan chuckled, "You little thing is also good at bargaining." Senior sister should be you, it's really a big thing. After that, the onion pointed to a side room: "Oh, have you seen it, those rooms are our residence, the third room on the left is mine, let's arrange according to the entry order, how about you live next to me? Senior brother doesn't come back often, before you came, I was always cleaning, and we will do this work together in the future." ”
Mo Chou thought to himself: "It's obviously your job, but you want to give me half of it, it's really cunning." Suffering from the fact that he couldn't tell the truth, he had to shirk and say: "This daily cleaning, the master is afraid that there are other arrangements." I'm a newcomer, and in the future, the master has made arrangements, and the junior brother is too busy to be busy. ”
Nalan Shufang said: "It's okay, it's okay, you just help me fight, I'm not tired at all." That's it, junior brother, you're so good!" she finished speaking, regardless of whether Mo Chou agreed or not, she returned to the room in three or two steps and did not come out again.
Mo Chou sighed and went to his room, as soon as he entered the door, a smell of rotting wood came to his face, this house has not been inhabited for a long time. There is also a ban in the turtle temple, so the furnishings have not been eaten by insects. Stepping into the door, there are stone tables, wooden chairs, and white jade beds, which are all the furniture in the wings.
Mo Chou walked to the bed, shook off the contents of his robe, and after the things were cleaned up, he lay down on the stone bed to rest, he was so relaxed for the first time in months, and fell asleep unconsciously.
Until a knock on the door woke him up from his dream.
