Volume 1 The Light Rain Section 4 Introduction
Section 4 Getting Started
"This petrification sickness has been quite fierce lately. Master Fan frowned, picked up the remote control and pressed the random channel change button.
The screen paused for a second, and then switched to a new channel, this is a variety show chat column "Doing Things Today", a group of traffic stars chatted about the topic of the entertainment industry under the leadership of the popular host, but after listening to a few sentences, the content of their conversation was revolving around a famous actress diagnosed with petrification disease, the hospital banned entertainment media from conducting interviews and the little stars brushing up their presence in the name of visiting patients.
"I also think that some traffic stars are obviously estranged from her, but they just met at the variety show awards ceremony and nodded and made a friendship, so it's shameless to visit as a friend. ”
"Yes, her parents are obviously very sad, and at this time, they are also broadcasting live at the same time on the pretext of visiting the patient, in front of the paparazzi guarding outside the hospital, the fanfare of the past, it is obviously uneasy and kind. ”
"I hate it, if I have a friend like this, I will get goosebumps when I sleep at night. ”
The speeches of the little stars have their own characteristics, but the pretentious tone makes Chenxing unhappy just by seeing it.
If you have the ability, don't put on such a heavy makeup show, hey!
Master Fan frowned again and pressed the number one number button on the remote control.
This time switch to an international current affairs channel.
"The Emilikon Confederation withdrew its fleet of floating carriers and frigates stationed in the Neon Nation on the west coast of the Pacific, but retained a mobile force consisting of one battle cruiser, one heavy cruiser, and four frigates. ”
"The New Federal wildfire in Australia on the south coast of the Pacific Ocean has been burning for 47 consecutive days, causing economic damage...... Countless wild animals perished..... A large amount of floating dust and ash caused by the wildfires fell eastward under the influence of the South Pacific monsoon airflow, and experts warned that it could cause serious air pollution to the countries in the Baganda region on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, and the possibility of new wildfires ignited by embers with high temperatures cannot be ruled out. “
"Earthquakes are frequent in the northern part of the British region of the Great Western Continent today, and experts predict that the Sauron volcanic belt in the northern part of the British continent may enter an active period and may erupt in the second half of this year. ”
It's finally a bit decent, and when I see reports about petrochemical disease every day, I'll be annoyed if I see too much.
Satisfied, Master Fan threw the remote control back on the coffee table, and then turned his head to look at Chenxing.
"Apprentice, I think of something very serious. ”
Chenxing rolled his eyes, every time Master Fan spoke in such a tone, there must be nothing good, most of them were digging a hole for themselves.
"Master, you say, I just listen. After all, Master Fan is still his guardian, even if he has received an ID card as an adult, he still has to rely on his master's support financially when he is still in college. So I knew there was a pit, so I had to jump in.
"Now that you've cultivated your aura, I'm going to have to officially put you in the doorway. Originally, if everything remained the same, I would have found a silly boy to inherit the mantle of the family before I died, and continue to pass on this inheritance. But now that you have cultivated your aura and entered the third-order cultivation stage of qi refining, according to the order of the first generation of masters, you are qualified to enter my Tianxuan Dao Sect. Master Fan said in a deep voice.
"Master, if I'm not mistaken, you're the only one in this Tianxuan Dao Sect you are talking about. Do you need to be so serious?" Chenxing smiled helplessly, trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed.
It is said that the mountain gate has been rebuilt as one of the cultural heritage tourist attractions in the deep mountains, as a scenic spot, the mountain gate has arranged for more than a dozen qualified Taoist priests to be stationed in the tourism business. They are also part of our Xuantian Dao Sect. ”
"You say so, isn't this tantamount to giving the nest to others to occupy, occupying our nest and occupying our sect with the name of our sect. No matter how you hear this, this Xuantian Dao Gate feels unreliable. Chenxing thought about it and felt a little disappointed. The original expected Daomen Masamune seems to be moving away from him.
"Fuck off, they are long-term workers at best, and we are the landlords. The head token is in the hands of Lao Tzu. And most of the sect inheritance has been carried by me. Master Fan pointed to the mess on the table.
"Isn't that what you're referring to as a sect inheritance?" Chenxing's eyes widened as he looked at the 'sundries' on the table.
"I admit that the Tianxuan Dao Gate does have some magical inheritance, but this one is too stumbling. Chenxing pointed to the electronic incense burner on the coffee table.
"Hey~ There's no way about this, isn't it now that you don't burn incense and burn paper, then you have to take this top when you worship the ancestor. Master Fan scratched his head, in fact, the incense burner was pawned when his master Xuanlu really couldn't get along, and the note was still kept and not redeemed. After more than ten years, it is estimated that it has long been regarded as dead.
"Okay. Chenxing covered his eyes with his hands and nodded his head to acknowledge the master's statement. After all, from childhood to adulthood, I followed the master to go south and north, and this electronic incense burner is used to it.
He raised his hand to pick up the bald pen on the table, turned around in his hand and didn't know what jade made of the pen barrel with Daomen Yunkai (the font used to write the talisman of Daomen) engraved with two small characters of "Tiancheng", the pen shaft was engraved with beautiful cloud lines, when he picked it up, the rod was slightly hot, the warm current in the body flowed uncontrollably along the fingers, the moire concave notch, there was a trace of warm and soft fluorescent light, this light color and the pen jade color is very close, if you don't look carefully, you will think that it is just the reflection of the pen shaft refracting the light.
He is familiar with this pen, in the days of wandering in the rivers and lakes, the master Fan Junmao often uses it to draw talismans for sale, and there is no need to use any pigments to draw talismans with this pen, which really saves a lot of expenses for the master and apprentice.
He knew the magic of this pen before that, so it was not surprising that it would make some wonderful changes in his hand at this time.
"Sure enough, the things of the fairy gate still need to be driven by aura? Chenxing thought silently in his heart.
"Then let's move on. ”
Master Fan got up from the sofa, went to the hanger and took the hanging Taoist robe and put it on himself carefully, then pulled the long shawl hair with his hands, tied it behind his head and made a bun, and then took out a white hosta from the pocket of the Taoist robe and pinned it.
"Then I'll ask you now, and you'll be listening. Master Fan looked serious again, and said solemnly to Chenxing with a shelf.
It may be that the gangsters are too familiar, and seeing the solemn expression on the master's face, Chenxing always thought that he was going to start fooling people next. After all, in the past days, he used this expression to face those fortune tellers or feng shui 'customers'.
Life needs a sense of ritual, but if you are too familiar, some of the sense of ritual will change in the eyes of acquaintances. Chenxing immediately cooperated with a solemn expression, ready to start speaking to the lines.
"Poor Dao Law Xuanyao Zhenren, today officially included the lay disciple Chenxing into my Xuantian Dao Sect, lay disciple Chenxing, are you willing?" Master Fan asked seriously in a soothing, calm, and mellow voice.
This script is not right, Chen Xing subconsciously thought that he was used to the master and apprentice singing and playing, and he was even ready for the next few lines, and the master actually came up with this sentence.
"Xuanyao Zhenren? Yes, I saw that it was written on your Taoist qualification certificate just now. But haven't I been your apprentice for more than ten years?" Chen Xing casually said what was in his heart.
"Don't talk so much, it used to be adoption, and I didn't officially apprentice. Master Fan glared impatiently and shut Chenxing's mouth obediently.
Chenxing pouted in his heart, and when he fooled people to 'take work' together, he called someone a good apprentice, and now he turned his face and didn't recognize people.
"What's that... The disciple is willing. Chenxing replied with a somewhat perfunctory tone.
"Zhuang Ji, don't you know that this is a very important moment? The inheritance of the Dao Sect is sacrosanct, and you must have a heart of awe. Do you know?" said Master Fan.
We can't be in awe when we look at your face. Chenxing wanted to say that, but he just wanted to think about it.
"The disciple is willing. Chenxing stood up and bowed with both hands.
"Okay, then the next step is to kowtow to the patriarch, bow to the teacher, and officially enter your name into the spectrum. Xuanyao Zhenren smiled and bowed his head to accept this salute.
Next, Xuan Yao took the worn-out painting scroll from the coffee table and unfolded it, hung it in front of the wall-mounted TV, and placed the wooden row and electronic incense burner on the TV cabinet.
The portrait on the scroll is said to be the ancestor of the master, Chen Xing saw that the figure depicted in this yellowed and faded hanging painting is a handsome, heroic middle-aged Taoist, he is wearing a white Qixia flying sleeve Liuyun Taoist robe, stepping on auspicious clouds, holding a strange long sword in one hand in his left hand, but the big sleeve of his right arm is empty.
It's just that the technique of this portrait is relatively clumsy, and the facial features of the characters are depicted vividly and vividly, and the only drawback is that no matter how you look at it, it can't match too much with real human beings. If you look for someone on the street according to the portrait, you probably won't be able to find yourself in this life.
Looking at the ranking, in addition to the fact that it may be because of the age is too old, some fading and wearing, in fact, the workmanship can be described as ingenious, and the center of the row is engraved with the words "Dawei Tianxuan Daomen, Authentic Dharma Teaching". The carvings of the surrounding auspicious clouds, spiritual fruits, fairy birds, and divine beasts can be described as extremely exquisite. And even if this wooden sign is seriously faded, you can still see a little bit of the original brand new style.
The portrait of the patriarch and the tablet are the first time Chenxing has seen them, so he pays special attention to a large number of points. As for the electronic incense burner, it's been an old guy for many years.
"Master, this electronic incense burner is too disagreeable, and I don't even get a colorful head. ”
"As long as you have a lot to do, just light three cigarettes and salute them. As the old saying goes, sincerity is spirituality, and no matter how big the scene is, it is a lie. ”
"I don't think you have any sincerity. Chenxing muttered quietly.
After all, this patriarch statue and tablet are put out, and Chenxing really eats this set, kneeling in front of the patriarch statue very seriously, kowtowing to incense (cigarettes)
The three bows and nine bows were completed under the witness of the master Xuanyao.
"Okay, that's it. Chenxing, since you have entered my Tianxuan Dao Gate, I will give you an official Dharma name as a teacher. From now on, you will be called Xuanjizi. Master Xuanyao Zhenren stroked his goatee under his chin with a happy face.
"Ah, master, forget it, this number is rotten. Chenxing expressed his resolute opposition.
"Ah, oh~ That's it, let's call it Xuanyangzi, and after cultivating the positive fruit, you can be called Xuanyang Zhenren. ”
"Show off real people, promote real people....... Master, are you serious?" Chenxing's mind turned crooked.
"Where is so much nonsense, just don't change it. "Master Xuanyao Zhenren took out a thread-bound book with a badly worn cover from the jacket, picked up the spirit pen 'Tiancheng', licked it on the tip of the pen with his tongue, opened the book to the halfway point, and began to write hard.
I have to say that the 'personal image' of Xuanyao Zhenren is to be discussed, but this handwriting is really good, and the dragon flying and phoenix dance is quite imposing.
"Today, on the Xth day of the XXXX year of the era, one introductory disciple is included, the law name is Xuanyang, and the successor is the master... Yunyun..."
The other narrative texts are all in small block letters, but the word 'Xuanyang' as the name of the law is in large characters in regular cloud letters.
"It turned out to be this Xuanyang, I thought it was propaganda..."Chenxing scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
He saw that the name of Xuanyao was written on the top of the book, and the name of the ancestor on the top of Xuanyao was only a lone Xuanlu. As for the previous number, you need to turn the page to see it.
After recording Chenxing's spectrum information, Master Fan closed the book without waiting for the ink to dry, and then turned around and handed it to Chenxing, who was kneeling on the ground to watch.
"This is the Patriarch's Hall pedigree, you put it away. This pen was handed down to me by your ancestor, my master Xuanlu, and said that it was an ancestral magic weapon, called 'Tiancheng', and you can also take it. Xuan Yao said with a pleasant face.
Seeing this posture, Chen Xing dared not answer, and obediently hugged it with both hands.
"This is the head of the token, with this token can be ordered to the disciples, kill the demons and help justice, save the common people and eradicate the enemy, as soon as the token comes out, the disciples must obey unconditionally. The disobedient person can be considered rebellious, and the holder of the order has the right to live and die. Today, I will also grant you this master token. ”
Xuanyao Zhenren took out another white token made of unknown material, which looked like white jade, but it was extremely heavy to the touch, and it felt warm and silky to the touch, without the slightest coldness of stone or metal.
Chenxing was stunned and took the token.
"This blanket has been with the teacher for more than 20 years, and it was passed on to the teacher by the ancestor back then, and the teacher will be passed on to you today. There is a copy of the Taoist canon and three jade slips in the blanket. You put it away. ”
Chen Xing still took it with a little suspicion, he really couldn't guess what this master who had raised him for more than ten years wanted to do.
"Tianxuan Daomen has a Taoist temple industry on the evergreen peak of the Kunlun Mountains, but now it is state-owned by the state, and it costs a ticket to enter the door. As the original owner of the Taoist temple, our Tianxuan Taoist disciples can receive Taoist professional certificates without any formalities and assessments, and each generation of disciples has three qualification vacancies available, and they can only take the test by themselves. This is the contact information of the management agency responsible for the affairs of our mountain gate and the list of Taoist priests living in the mountain gate at the moment. ”
Out of nowhere, Xuanyao Zhenren found a business card and a neatly folded A4 printer paper, on which were all recorded lists, and the writing was clear.
"Okay, today's teacher will pass on the position of the head of the Heavenly Xuandao Sect to you. Before passing on the position of head to you, the master had applied for a ten-year trip down the mountain, and approved it with the authority of the head of the house. In the future, any official affairs of the Tianxuan Dao Sect will be handed over to you. Don't bother me in ten years, you can be even, stinky boy. The sincere and gentle smile on Xuanyao's face gradually turned into smugness and began to let go of herself.
"I just want to ask, your old man is so sassy, does he know about it?" Chenxing has been completely defeated by his own unobtrusive master.
"Your ancestor, that old guy in Xuanlu is very good...", while reminiscing about the past, Xuanyao Zhenren shook his head and sighed:
“... It's too dead-eyed. I practiced this introductory mind until the day he died, and I didn't practice Reiki until the day he died, and this position of head was passed on to me before he died, of course, along with the status of an official disciple. It's all the same day. ”
I have been with you for more than ten years, no wonder. Chenxing complained in his heart.
"In fact, the Xuantian Dao Sect is a lineage, going back to the master five generations ago, no one can cultivate this aura into the body of the qi induction period, so each generation is the master to collect lay disciples, and then when he is dying, in order to ensure the continuity of the inheritance, he makes an exception to include the lay disciples in the door wall, gives them the title of disciples, and then passes down the position of the head of the sect together. ”
"According to the rules of the sect recorded on the genealogy of the Patriarch's Hall, only disciples who have entered the Qi Induction Period can be regarded as official disciples, and all disciples in the Enlightenment and Qi Feeling stages before the Qi Induction Period can only be regarded as outer disciples. It is not qualified to be recorded on the pedigree of the Patriarch's Hall. And a person like me, who has not been able to cultivate spiritual energy in his life, can only be regarded as a mundane wastewood, and he will be a miscellaneous disciple in the sect. The corners of Xuanyao's mouth twitched, but he still decided to confess to his only apprentice. If you don't confess, you can't do it, the rules of the sect on the spectrum are clearly written, and Chenxing will know the truth sooner or later.
Oops, there's an inside smell.
Isn't this the routine in Xianxia novels?
"Now that the burden of this sect's inheritance has been thrown to you, you can easily enjoy a few years of blessings as a teacher. Master Fan immediately laughed happily again.
"Master, you won't, I haven't graduated from college yet, you're ready to go out on a cloud trip, what should I do??" Chenxing suddenly realized that he was about to face a major crisis.
Although Tianlan College is one of the top universities in the Great Hua Dynasty, there are many rules, and the regulations of the college prohibit students from working outside the school to make money. Of course, senior-year graduation internships don't count.
In other words, the students of Tianlan Academy have no other source of income except for scholarships. Therefore, most students have to rely on the financial support of their family relatives to complete their studies.
After all, the annual tuition price of Tianlan College is expensive, and the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation during the school period is also expensive, which does not seem to be much, but the accumulation of many miscellaneous items is actually much more than the tuition fee. Master Fan meant to leave himself behind and run out in style, how could Chenxing agree.
"It's not that I'll leave you alone, you also saw it, it's rare that I just got mixed with a concubine, and when I'm still in love with adultery, how can I be willing to leave now. Master Fan triumphantly took out the little pants from the clothes on the armrest of the sofa, and shook them in his hand a few times angrily.
"I didn't see it. But you old bachelor should come on, hurry up and give my whole wife back, I also have a comfort in my heart, master. Chenxing pouted, as if no one had ever seen a girl's underwear, in the window of the women's clothing store in the shopping street, there were all kinds of exhibitions on the models, which were much more angry than yours.
"If the master is not the master, you have to get along for a while, you have to know that two people can't just rely on a moment of enthusiasm when they are together, it is to live a long time. Master Fan tugged at the corners of his mouth and said. The goatee on his chin shook a few times.
"Ah, yes. This sect also has an account, which is the public asset of our Tianxuan Daomen, and every year the government has a special subsidy allocation, plus half of the income from the tourist tickets on the mountain gate side will be transferred to this account, you are now the head of the sect, and you are eligible to use this fund. When the time comes, you can use it depending on the situation. I'm going to submit your application now. Master Fan subconsciously slapped his head, but he used his right hand to grab the pants. He picked up his phone from the coffee table and began to flip through the address book.
A soft, curly black hair hung out of place on his brow.
When Chenxing saw this scene, his left eyelid jumped wildly.
After a while, Master Fan's five fingers flew back and forth on the mobile phone screen, and a text message was sent out in the sound of drip~drip~.
"Alright, you wait for someone from above to contact you. ”
"That's good?"
"Then what else do you have to do? Do you have to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to queue up for registration, and then report to the cultural management department, fill out the form, hand in the application, and wait for verification and inspection? We are authentic Daomen, these procedures are directly skipped, just say hello to the responsible official.
However, it is said that in recent years, some senior brothers of other ancient sects have opened training classes to recruit disciples, which has suddenly raised the difficulty of obtaining Taoist qualification certificates by several levels. You kid is the only seedling of our Tianxuan Dao Sect, so let's have fun. Master Fan took off his robe and hung it back on the hanger. "If you don't have anything to do, you can go back, and there will be a date for the teacher later." ”
Chenxing was a little confused, it seemed that he had taken a lot of advantage, this trip not only got the official status of a disciple of the sect, but also inherited the position of head by the way, how much is it a president, right?
"Then master, how should I practice next?"
"How do you practice? You read books by yourself, don't you give you all the things? You let me, a mortal who has never cultivated spiritual energy in my life, guide you to practice, is it a bit human? Are you deliberately showing off Lao Tzu's face? Or are you hitting Lao Tzu?" Master Fan pursed his lips, turned around and entered the bathroom, and after a while, the sound of the shower shower flushing drifted into Chenxing's ears.
"I know that you are unreliable, I have confirmed it so many times over the years, why don't you have a long memory. Chenxing depressedly put all the things that the master gave him into the coat, knocked on the bathroom door and shouted I'm leaving. He opened the door and walked out.
Shout~
Chenxing's mobile phone rang, he took it out and looked at it, it was a friend application from WeChat:
Dahua Dynasty Cultivation Sect Administration - Ancient Sect - Daomen - Salesman: Meng Fangfei.
The avatar is a half-length color photo of a young professional woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses and beautiful makeup. It is a very standard ID photo style, that is, in the open valgus neckline, the career line is as deep as a canyon cliff.
Drink ~ beautiful enough. Chenxing admired.
