In front of the altar, the patriarch took the seat.

"Patriarch, the Red Dragon Girl does not listen to the advice, and the disciple has already surrendered to her. The incense boy stepped forward and handed over the gourd Ruyi to tie the dragon rope.

The patriarch said: "You go, press her for 30 years, go to the stubbornness, and then see if the fortune can enter my door." ”

The incense boy shook his head and respectfully retreated.

The patriarch looked at the girl and said kindly, "Where are you from, do you have a name?"

The girl said in a crisp voice: "My home is in Zhao's Ning Wangfu, my name is Xiangling." ”

The patriarch closed his eyes and pondered: "The water phase becomes a spirit, and there is no reliance, although it is a heaven-seizing creation, after all, it is the moon in the water." ”

After a while, he said: "You are not blessed, you can enjoy the wealth of the world, you can also enter my Qingwei Cave Heaven, if you don't give up your parents at home, you can go back to enjoy the wealth, if you enter my door, you will cut off the vulgar fate." ”

The girl thought of her parents at home, and suddenly panicked for a while, and when she saw the tearful young man, she suddenly blessed her mind, knelt on the ground, and bowed three times: "Xiangling has seen the teacher." ”

"Good!" the patriarch was also happy to see her well-behaved and cute.

Then he saw that the young man was full of tears, and he was slightly surprised in his heart, and asked, "Young man, why are you crying?"

The young man touched his snot and tears for a long time, and said, "I don't know, I can't stop it." ”

The patriarch was secretly surprised, closed his eyes and calculated silently, but he got nothing, only knowing that the person in front of him was blessed and had a fate with him.

"Let me ask you, where did you come from, and what is your name?" said the patriarch.

The boy said, "I was kidnapped, and I don't know where I came from." Speaking of which, there is no name. ”

The patriarch frowned slightly and said, "There is no name and no surname, there are always parents." ”

A strange look appeared on the young man's face: "I have no father and no mother. ”

The patriarch smiled: "Animals still have parents, and plants and trees also have roots, how can you be born without a father and a mother?"

The young man said helplessly: "That's true. ”

Seeing that he was not lying, the patriarch secretly exclaimed: "Isn't it born and raised by heaven and earth, and formed by nature?"

After thinking about it, he said: "You have a deep opportunity and good fortune, if you don't accumulate it for several lifetimes, you are blessed. Enter my door, and you will get the fruit of the Tao in this life. ”

The young man was secretly happy when he heard this: "If you refuse this, you will definitely be kicked in the head by a donkey." At that moment, he knelt on the ground and bowed three times and bowed nine times: "Disciple to see Master." ”

The patriarch was happy in his heart, but he was surprised by his name, and said, "The disciples in this sect may call me the patriarch, or call me the master, or call the teacher, what is the master?"

The young man's face was not red, he was not panting, and said: "The disciple has no father and no mother, and now that he has entered the master's door, it is naturally the master who is the father." ”

The patriarch was slightly stunned, and scolded with a smile: "What a whisker." But he acquiesced to the title, pondered for a moment, and said, "Since you have no common name, let it be your name." My disciple in this sect, ranking seniority, can be called 'Yuan, Tai, Ling, Qing, Guang, Ning, Zhen, Ru, Miao, Fa, Xuan, Ming', your generation, you can get a Xuanzi. ”

"If you are the Seven Treasures Dao Body, you are a human being. People have a sublineage, so it is better to take the word 'sub'. ”

"As the saying goes, there is no leakage in front of real people, and opening the mouth to speak is a word. If you call 'Master', take 'Master' as your surname. ”

The patriarch decided on his name.

"Shi Zixuan, Shi Zixuan. The young man recited silently twice, and suddenly gave birth to what should have been so cordial, and respectfully bowed: "Disciple, thank you Master for giving me the name." ”

The patriarch laughed twice, summoned two little fairy children, and led Shi Zixuan and Xiang Ling out of the cave.

As soon as he came out of the cave, Master Xuanzi pulled a fairy child and said, "This senior brother, do we all live in the Xuanguang Cave on weekdays?"

The fairy child seemed to be startled, and hurriedly said: "I don't deserve the title of little ancestor, the little fairy is just a boy who serves the ancestor." ”

Shi Zixuan was slightly stunned, and then reacted.

This Xuanguang Cave is a lineage of master and apprentice, he was named a Xuanzi generation, and he is a disciple of the ancestor, and these little immortals, boys, are just cultivating in the blessed land of the cave, and occasionally have the opportunity to listen to the patriarch's teachings.

Thinking of this, Shi Zixuan glanced at Xiang Ling with some concern, this little girl was obviously not included in the sect by the patriarch.

Shi Zixuan asked a few questions, and finally understood a little roughly.

Qingwei Cave Heaven does not refer to the one vein of the Moon Xuanguang Cave, there are still four veins of Jinding Sanwu Palace, small red sandalwood green red hole, Tongtian Sword Peak, and Qionghua Lingyin Palace.

The five veins live together in the cave and the blessed land, some preach, some talk Zen, some cultivate morality, some play strings, and some are free. There are occasional exchanges between the disciples of each lineage, but most of them practice independently.

From the mouth of that little immortal, I learned that the ancestor had the least number of disciples, most of them were observers, not even registered disciples, and only two true disciples were still practicing in the cave now.

The little fairy boy left the boundary of the Xuanguang Cave of the Finger Moon, summoned two cranes, and took Shizi Xuan and Xiangling to a clean cliff cave, called Qilin Cliff, but there was a pavilion on the mountainside. Although it is not magnificent, it is also pure and cultivates greatly.

There are also no vulgar people on this Qilin Cliff, and the people who come and go are the yellow turban wrestlers refined by the ancestors, and they are summoned with the rear.

Shi Zixuan and Xiang Ling have been tossing and turning enough in the past few days, and they have been shopping in the "new home" for a while, and after the freshness has passed, they are tired and fall asleep.

The next morning, I slept all night.

Qilin Cliff is not like the Xuanguang Cave of the Moon, there is no change of day and night, but it is clear at four o'clock.

In the morning light, Shi Zixuan opened his eyes, stretched his waist and sat up, and Xiangling next to him leaned on him and slept soundly.

"The little junior brother woke up. Suddenly, a male voice came, startling him, and then the door opened, and a person walked in, wearing a Taoist robe, wearing a Taoist bun, and his appearance was mediocre, not like a cultivator, but like an old peasant.

Shi Zixuan guessed that this person must be a personal disciple of the ancestor's lineage, so he hurriedly got up and saluted, and the man waved his hand and said with a smile: "Little junior brother doesn't need to be polite, the teacher's disciples only cultivate purity, not formal etiquette." I started earlier than you, the fourth generation of Xuanzi, the Taoist name Xuanqing, and the common name is Xu Changqing. ”

Shi Zixuan hurriedly got up and saluted, and shouted, "Senior Brother Xu." ”

Xu Changqing said with a smile: "You don't have to be formal, the little junior brother is still vulgar, and if you sleep soundly all night, you must be hungry." ”

Don't say it, I don't think it, as soon as I say it, Shi Zixuan feels a burst of hunger in my belly. At this time, Xiang Ling woke up and looked at Xu Changqing with big eyes for a moment.

After washing, Xu Changqing took the two of them out and said, "The junior brother just came, and he is not familiar with this place, this Qilin Cliff is now only inhabited by me and the sixth junior brother. I am a lonely family, but your sixth senior brother has already become a family, and the family lives here, and I will go to the canteen to eat in a while, and then introduce you to each other. ”

Master Xuanqi said: "The sixth senior brother has a family?"

Xu Changqing nodded and said: "In our vein, we are not afraid of marrying, and your sixth sister-in-law is also a layman, because of your sixth senior brother, you can enjoy two hundred years of happiness here." ”

The Qilin Courtyard is not small, and the three of them walked for a long time, going around seven or eight courtyards, before arriving at the dining hall.

At this time, a woman walked out of it, thirty years old, rich and rich, saw the three of them, and greeted them with a smile: "I thought you weren't coming, it turned out to be when you were stepping on the meal." ”

Shi Zixuan and Xiang Ling are all ghosts, and they hurriedly saluted: "I've seen my sister-in-law (aunt)." ”

"It's the little junior brother and the Xiangling girl, come in. ”

The beautiful woman smiled and pulled the two into the dining hall.

As soon as Shi Zixuan entered the door, he was startled. The inside of this canteen was not the same as he imagined, there were not many people inside, but a group of people who were pressed by the black, and roughly estimated, there were no less than 100 people.

"It's not that there are few people in our vein, why are there so many people?" Shi Zixuan was puzzled, and suddenly there was a burst of fragrance in his nose, and then he heard a coquettish hum: "I hate it, who are you two? ”

Behind the beautiful woman, a little girl suddenly jumped out, with clear eyebrows and clear eyes, she was a little beauty.

"Qingqing must not be rude, this is your little uncle and Xiangling, not daoqian. A person came out of the dining hall, dressed in a green shirt and dressed as a scholar.

"Little Uncle?" The little girl named Qingqing looked at Shi Zixuan curiously, and pouted: "He is not much older than me, weishenme wants to be called Little Uncle?"

The child's words are unscrupulous, which makes people laugh.

Xiang Ling looked at Qingqing vigilantly, and grabbed Shizi Xuan with his hand, for fear that he would be snatched away.

Xu Changqing said with a smile: "Little junior brother, this is your sixth senior brother, the Taoist name Xuanming." ”

"I'm just a layman, so let's call me Li Xiu. "The name and temperament of the sixth senior brother seem to have a bit of scholarly femininity.

"I've seen the sixth senior brother. Shi Zixuan hurriedly saluted.

"Okay, okay, it's all a family in the future, come and eat. Li Xiu said with a smile.

The meal was quickly served, most of them were green vegetables, and the fourth senior brother Xu Changqing received the Taoist precept and only ate vegetarian food. The sixth senior brother's family is not taboo.

"Fourth Senior Brother, have we always had so many people in Xuanguang Cave?" Shi Zixuan suddenly asked.

"The ancestor is in the lineage, how can there be so many people. These people are here to eat. Xu Changqing shook his head and said.

"Rubbing rice?" Shi Zixuan was stunned, and Li Xiu smiled: "There are all outsiders here, how can anyone cook." Your sister-in-law usually cooks in addition to planting some flowers and plants. These people ate it a few times once in a while, but somehow it spread out, and after a long time, they all regarded it as a canteen. ”

"I see, I thought there was no one here. Shi Zixuan thought secretly, but saw Li Qingqing glaring at him angrily, muttering twice, as if to say, "There are two more mixed rice to eat".

"Little brat!"

Shi Zixuan said psychologically, lowered his head to pick up rice, and Li Xiu suddenly asked, "Little junior brother, I don't know if you are literate?"

Shi Zixuan thought for a while and said, "It should be regarded as ignorance." ”

Fourth Senior Brother Xu Changqing's face suddenly flashed with a hint of joy, and he praised: "Wonderful, wonderful." Then he said to Li Xiu: "Sixth junior brother, since this is the case, the junior brother will be taught by you." ”

Li Xiu nodded happily, glanced at Xiang Ling again, and said, "Xiang Ling still has to go to the Dao Palace, so it will trouble the fourth senior brother." ”

Xu Changqing nodded, and after Xiang Ling was full, he left first.

After the meal, the sixth sister-in-law called two yellow turban wrestlers and took her own girl to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Looking at Li Qingqing's reluctant appearance, Shi Zixuan finally understood that Li Qingqing looked at him and Xiang Ling with a bitter and bitter look.

Li Xiu took Shi Zixuan into a quiet room, and Shi Zixuan couldn't help but ask: "Sixth Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother Weishenme looked happy when he heard that I couldn't read?"

Li Xiu didn't answer the question, and said, "Little junior brother, how old do you think I am now?"

Shi Zixuan said honestly: "I can't guess." ”

Qingwei Cave is a blessed land of immortals, regardless of the years in the mountains, a child may live 800, and an old man may not live 90.

"I was seven years old in the show talent, thirty-eight years old in the middle of the lift, when I knew the destiny of heaven was a jinshi, into the sea for 12 years, only to get the vulgar thoughts, into the mountain practice, until now it has been 366 years. ”

Shi Zixuan nodded, but he didn't feel any different.

"At that time, I entered the Xuanguang Cave and begged the teacher to pass on my longevity technique, but the teacher looked at me and only said three times, 'difficult, difficult, difficult',

Dao: I have learned literacy in this life, but I have lost the root cause, and it is difficult to find longevity. Li Xiu sighed: "Zuihou is still a teacher who is merciful, and he has performed the 'sitting and forgetting technique', so that I can sit empty for a hundred years and forget the things of my previous life, so that I can practice." ”

Shi Zixuan was confused when he heard this, and said in confusion: "Sixth Senior Brother, the literal interpretation is to make people understand and understand, why do you want to forget it?"

"Little junior brother, let me ask you, where do the words come from?" asked Li Xiu.

"Of course it's man-made. Shi Zixuan said.

"There are thousands of truths in this world, and people can know geometry in their entire lives? A 'Tao Te Ching' has only been handed down for 2,000 years, and more than a dozen commentaries have been published. The explanation came and went, the reason was not understood, and the more people read it, the more confused they became. ”

There is a bit of this truth, but Shi Zixuan is still puzzled: "It is reasonable for the sixth senior brother to say this, but knowledge is priceless, and the birth of words is always conducive to the dissemination of knowledge." ”

Li Xiu said with a smile: "Little junior brother misunderstood, I didn't deny the words, I just said that the words in the world are harmful to cultivators like us, don't you hear that 'the truth is a word, and the fake transmission of ten thousand books', the root of the truth in the world is originally shallow, but it can be understood, and it has to be described in words, but the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth." Only taking the surface and not breaking the root cause has caused a misguided path. ”

Shi Zixuan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and said: "I heard that the sage Cangjie made words, which is a great merit, which is admired by future generations, and temples are lined up to sacrifice his merits. Listening to the sixth senior brother, hasn't he become a sinner?"

"It's okay to say sages, and it's okay to say sinners. When Cangjie made words, there was the sound of ghosts crying at night, and the world thought it was a different phase, but they didn't know that it was actually a convenient door for the public to practice. Li Xiu shook his head and said.

"It is not appropriate for us to comment on the things of the sages. Little junior brother, since you are illiterate, this is excellent, saving you a hundred years of forgetting. Now, I will pass on the Xuanguang Cave One Vein Dao Method to you on behalf of the teacher, and when the teacher opens the altar thirty years later and teaches Dafa widely, you will not be drowsy when you listen to it. Li Xiu said with a smile.

When Shi Zixuan heard this, he immediately sat upright, and his heart was a little more excited.
