10. Beginning to receive apprentices
The three Taoists looked at each other, and one of the middle-aged Taoists spoke, "You get up first, I have something to ask you." ”
Seeker got up, bowed, and stood with his eyebrows bowed.
Seeing him stand up, the middle-aged Taoist asked, "Who are you, and what are you doing to catch this demon beast?"
Xundaozi hurriedly bowed down and replied: "I call myself Xundaozi, and I live in the enlightenment cave in this Taoist Mountain. Catch this monster because ・・・・・・"
Xundaozi explained how he fought with demon beasts and how he thought about catching demon beasts as a sparring partner.
The sword-eyed Taoist listened to the Taoist and hunted the demon beast as a sparring partner, and he couldn't help but smile, and the other two Taoist couldn't help but laugh, feeling that this behavior was a bit unbearable.
Xundaozi didn't expect that his words would make the three Taoists laugh, and his face was flushed for a while.
The sword-eyed Daoist blushed when he saw that Daozi was blushing and laughed even louder.
The middle-aged Taoist spoke again: "You said that you live in the Enlightenment Cave of this Dao Mountain, can you take me and others to have a look?"
Seeker agreed. Pick up the stick and lead the way.
The sword-eyed Daoist looked at the demon beast lying on the ground motionless and didn't dare to move, and said, "This young halberd dragon beast is also a different species, and it can also be used to guard the cave when it grows up." A blue light shot out of his hand and submerged into the head of the demon beast. Immediately, the demon beast stood up and obediently followed everyone.
The seeker was about to take a step, when the middle-aged Taoist asked again, "How far is it to your cave?"
The seeker replied, "There are still two hundred miles." ”
The middle-aged Taoist said: "You point in the direction, and I will take you away." ”
Seeker pointed in a direction.
I didn't see any movement from the three Taoists, but I saw a colorful cloud rising from under everyone's feet, and together with the halberd dragon beast, everyone was held up in the air by the colorful cloud. Galloping in the direction of the seeker.
On the clouds, the seeker was in a turbulent mood, and he didn't expect that he would also have the opportunity to fly in the air on the clouds.
As soon as the seeker was excited, before he subsided, the colorful clouds had already arrived above the maze of the Enlightenment Cave Mansion. Xundaozi hurriedly said: "It's here, it's here." ”
The cloud head stopped above the maze, and the three Daoists looked at each other, and they all noticed the look of surprise in each other's eyes. The place where this maze is shrouded is not small, the maze is obviously a strong innate array, and those who are not powerful cannot break it, so the hidden things of the innate array are not trivial, and there should be an innate treasure. How did this seeker break through this formation and get inside?
Everyone lowered the clouds, and the Taoist pinched the seal, opened the formation door, and invited the three Taoists to enter. Seeker usually goes in and out, and he doesn't open the formation door, but he can enter and exit freely after pinching the seal. Today, because of the arrival of the three Taoists, the door was opened to invite the three Taoists to come in.
Entering the valley, the three Taoists were suddenly surprised, a blessed land of immortals, a rare flood. It's a good place to cultivate the true Tao.
The halberd dragon beast that followed behind everyone had even more round eyes, looking east and west, and Jue's eyes couldn't get busy.
The seeker led the way and took the three Taoists to the bamboo pavilion he built by himself by the waterhole in the valley, but there was only one stump used as a coffee table, a deck chair for his usual rest, and a futon for meditation.
Seeing this, Xundaozi felt embarrassed, his face was red like blood, and he quickly confessed and ran to the side to find a few rocks, pulled out the heart sword behind his back, split it a few times, made three stone benches, hugged it back to the pavilion, placed it on the side of the stump coffee table, respectfully invited the three Taoists to sit down, and hurriedly went to find some fruits to come back, washed them and put them on a jade plate, and invited the three Taoists to enjoy them. Then he brought the stove to the edge of the pavilion and made a fire, and took the kettle to the rock, drew water, and put it on the stove, and quickly took the teapot and the cup and cleaned it and put it on the stump coffee table.
Seeing that he was busy, the three Taoists didn't speak, they all took a fruit and enjoyed it slowly, during which they all used their divine senses to roughly explore the valley, and the look of surprise in their eyes became even stronger. Not to mention anything else, just the lotus flower in the pond in front of them, and the green bamboo on the edge of the pond, also surprised them, but although the three Taoists were suspicious, they had no greed. It's just that from time to time I look at the busy seeker, and I am a little puzzled, why is this son so happy?
Under the divine sense of the three Taoists, they just felt that there were treasures everywhere in this valley, and everything was precious. It is almost compared to the blessed land where the three Taoists lived.
Soon, the water in the pot boiled, Xundaozi scalded the teapot and teacup, took the bamboo tube that held the tea leaves---- Xundaozi didn't know why, the tea leaves contained in the jade box were not as good as the tea held in the bamboo tube, so the tea made later was held in the bamboo tube---- took some tea with a teaspoon and put it in the pot, flushed with water, and covered the pot lid.
The three Taoist cymbals watched the Taoist make tea with interest.
After a while, the fragrance of tea overflowed, and the Taoist took a cup of tea, and respectfully brought three cups of fragrant tea to the three Taoists. Invite the three Taoists to tea.
The three Taoists saw that the jade cup in front of them was crystal clear, the tea was green and attractive, and the fragrance of tea floated up. Pick up the cup and drink it all.
The three Taoists drank all the tea, but did not put down the cups, but still held them in the air, they all closed their eyes, and their faces were excited.
After a while, the three Taoists opened their eyes, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes, as well as the irrepressible shock in the surprise.
Just after drinking the cup of tea just now, it actually caused him to be refreshed, and there seemed to be traces to be found in the unknown places of cultivation, and if he was in retreat and enlightenment, he should have something to gain. I didn't expect a cup of tea to have such an effect, how amazing it was for their realm at this time.
At that moment, the three of them all turned their heads to look at the Taoist, and the crane-haired snow-haired Taoist opened his mouth and asked, "Dare to ask Daoyou, what kind of tea is this, and where did you get it?"
Xundaozi hurriedly bowed down and replied: "This tea is in my valley, I don't know what the name is." ”
The Taoist said, "Fellow Daoist, can you take tea for me to see?"
Xundaozi hurriedly took out a few pieces of tea from the bamboo tube and respectfully sent them to the crane haired and snow-haired Taoist.
The crane-haired snow-bearded Taoist carefully unfolded a piece of tea and looked at it carefully, and even his eyes were full of green light. The other two people also looked at the crane-haired snow-haired Taoist with a look of hope.
In the hopeful gaze of the two Dao people, the crane-haired and snow-haired Taoist finally put down the tea leaves in his hand, the blue light in his eyes disappeared, glanced at the other two Dao people, and said: "This is the Enlightenment Daozi Tea." When the two Taoists heard this, their eyes lit up.
Immediately, the Daoist with the sword eyebrows turned his head to look at Xundaozi and said, "It's bad, it's broken, I drank your tea today, and there will be no tea to drink in the future." After finishing speaking, he pretended to look miserable.
When the seeker heard this, he was at a loss for a while. The other two Taoists were not surprised.
The sword-eyed Daoist also smiled when he saw the helpless look of the Daoist, and said, "No, pour the tea quickly, I must drink more today, I won't have to drink it in the future, it will be a loss." As he spoke, he handed the cup to the seeker.
Xundaozi hurriedly took the cup and poured tea, respectfully handed it to the Taoist of Jianmei Xingmu, and respectfully refilled the tea for the other two Taoists.
The sword-eyed Taoist snatched the cup, poured it into his mouth, handed the cup over again, and shouted: "Full, full." ”
The seeker hurriedly continued.
The middle-aged Taoist and the crane-haired snow-haired Taoist did not drink tea, but were talking in the divine sense. The middle-aged Taoist sent a message to the snow-haired Taoist: "Brother, I calculated just now, this son seems to have a master-apprentice relationship with me, and I faintly feel that this relationship is extremely critical, I don't know what the reason is?"
The crane and snow-haired Taoist also transmitted: "I have also calculated, I feel that this son has a good relationship with your master and apprentice, and he seems to have an influence on my brother." I see that this son is a person who is a great blessing, and also has the heart of a child, and his breath has already proved the fruit of the earth immortal Dao, and he has realized the immortal Tao without knowing it, and he will not be able to use magical spells, and his body is strong, comparable to the Wu clan. ”
The middle-aged Taoist said, "I'll ask." ”
Immediately, the middle-aged Taoist turned to Xundaozi and asked, "You said earlier that you want to worship us as a teacher, why do you want to worship us as a teacher?"
The seeker fell to the ground, told him about his heart to seek the Tao, his desire to seek the Tao, and the hardships of groping for cultivation without the guidance of the master, and said: "When I see the three seniors today, I feel that this is a great opportunity for me, and there must be my teacher among the three seniors who can teach me to practice. ”
The three Taoists glanced at each other, and the crane-haired and snow-haired Daoist and the sword-eyed Daoist nodded to the middle-aged Taoist.
When the middle-aged Taoist saw this, he looked back at the Taoist and said, "Do you know that there are many difficulties on the road of cultivation, every step is difficult, and the slightest mistake will be a catastrophe and ashes. You've figured it out. ”
The seeker fell to the ground and hurriedly said: "The disciple has thought clearly, no matter how hard the future is, the disciple's heart towards the Tao remains the same. ”
The middle-aged Taoist said: "The teacher should not be worshiped lightly, and after apprenticing the teacher, you must respect the teacher." Do not deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, and do things that harm the teacher. Do you know?"
The seeker replied respectfully on the ground: "The disciple knows that after the disciple apprentices, he must respect the teacher, regard the master as a father, and maintain the reputation of the teacher. ”
The three Taoists were very satisfied with the answer of the Taoist, and they looked at each other again, all of them approving.
The middle-aged Taoist's voice rose again: "We are the cultivators of Kunlun Mountain, the elder brother is called Laozi, I am called Yuan Shi, and the third brother is Tongtian." Today, with my brother's consent, I want to take you as an apprentice, are you willing?"
Seeker heard it, his heart was ecstatic, although there was speculation, but it was confirmed by the mouth of the beginning, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, these three people are the real big guys of the flood famine, the characters who affect the general trend of the flood famine, and they can worship one of them as a teacher, and they should have great blessings.
The seeker hurriedly kowtowed, and shouted: "The disciple is willing!" and kowtowed again and again.
