Taoist chanting

Chapter 403 The New Disciple
A tall and thin figure was running among the mountains and forests, with iron sand cloth bags tied to his legs, jumping up and down, punching with both hands, sweating profusely, and it took twenty or thirty li to go back and forth.

Alone and silent.

The old cripple stopped going after seeing it a few times, feeling inexplicably sad.

He is old, but in fact he only wants to live a normal life, entertain his grandchildren, and enjoy his old age in peace.

He patted the donkey that was following him, and let out a weak cry of "Donkey Ri's", the wrinkles on his face became more profound, leaning on a wooden crutch, he hunched over and went back to the kitchen to find something to do.

From autumn to winter, the chill is strong, and the fire will be used to try new tea.

The second senior brother put down a few pieces of letter paper in his hand, and said: "Our Taoist temple spent a lot of effort to train Gu Chaowen from an ignorant urchin to a monk in three years. He took care of his face and wanted to send him away when a letter was sent lightly. People are good at calculating, so what about the ancestor of Jinfengguan? He still can't get rid of the vulgarity of the market, he is good at calculating, and he doesn't have the half-high demeanor."

Zhang Wenfeng didn't stop the second senior brother from discussing people's right and wrong behind his back, and he was also angry.

Cultivating Qi does not mean that there is no anger.

Sniffing the fragrance of the tea, he took a sip of the freshly fried autumn tea, put down the teacup and said, "I asked Gu Chaowen for his opinion earlier, and he said he would follow his elders' orders. According to his meaning, it is not a day or two for him to discuss this matter with Gu Quan , It’s been a long time, and the tolerance is so good at such a young age, and there is no word of mouth, it is a good thing for this kind of deep, heartless and ungrateful person not to stay in the fairy temple, and it is not worth getting angry."

The second senior brother laughed angrily: "Collusion, cooperation between the inside and the outside, like an uncle, like a nephew, okay, okay, before you officially become a disciple of Xianling Temple, it is better to leave during the apprenticeship, so as not to waste Taoist resources."

Three years of dedicated training, in exchange for such a chilling result.

You Gu Quan wanted to take your nephew to the Golden Wind Temple and bring him to practice. It was understandable, but you went there yourself to show your sincerity and respect the teacher, shouldn't you?
Even if I received a letter last year, it is more pleasant than dismantling the stage at this time.

After an apprentice becomes a monk, there is a ritual to formally join a Taoist temple as a disciple.

Before that, the Taoist temple will not restrict all apprentices.

The apprenticeship is only a few days away, and Gu Quan's approach is compliant, but unreasonable. It is a kind of behavior that is annoying.

Yue Anyan persuaded: "Shan Zhang, he is shameless. We still have to follow the rules. After we ask Gu Chaowen, he is willing to participate in the apprenticeship graduation the day after tomorrow, so we will keep him for a few more days. We are not in a hurry to drive him away. It doesn't look like us No tolerance."

"I know, I'm just upset."

The second senior brother wanted to make himself more magnanimous, so he drank a cup of tea, but the results of three years of hard cultivation made people stung, and he was still the best one. He felt useless no matter how he recited the scriptures, so he thought about it and suggested:
"Guanzhu, before the other apprentices formally enter the Taoist temple, let them go home for three days, and consider whether they are willing to join the Taoist temple? In order to eliminate those who are vacillating and have other ideas, there will be another "questioning" assessment, the topic I Come to draw up, those with impure goals and flaws will not be accepted, and the prefix of our Taoist temple is a foregone conclusion, so we don't have to worry about not being able to recruit like-minded disciples."

Zhang Wenfeng nodded in affirmation: "Good!"

Rather lack than abuse, keep improving.

Xianlingguan has survived the difficult period and won the time and space for leisurely development.

Gu Chaowen stayed to attend the apprentice's graduation ceremony, and left the mountain gate with other apprentices who had not broken through. The head of the mountain announced new rules to the sixteen monks who were about to become disciples of Xianling Temple.

After three days, sixteen people gathered in Qingzheng Bieyuan, and no one was absent.

After a series of "questioning" by the head of the mountain, it took more than half a day to pass all the tests.

The three priests were quite relieved that the three years of careful teaching and personal influence were not in vain.

Select an auspicious day, and hold a formal ritual of entering the mountain gate.

On that day, I specially invited Yun Qiuhe, the head of Feng Chengyun, Chen Qingqiao, Che Sheng and others from the Daolu branch of the county seat to watch the ceremony. The elder brother Jia De'an, the third brother Shang Zheng, and the families of the sixteen monks were naturally there, so there was no alarm Friends in county and state cities.

"The way of practice lies in the existence of the teacher. If the teacher does not exist, how can the way be obtained. Today there are those who are pure in character and talented, Wei Jingjie, Shi Nanguan, Yan Jing, Shang Qingyun, Tie Jinlin, Shui Qingru, An Beiyuan, Zhuang Mi, Shen Shan, He He, Cui Zhongxian, Zhang Xuandong, Shi Wenzhan, Zhang Xuanyan, Zhuang Yu, Chen Zhong, borrowing from the Immortal Temple... Those who borrow are far away, those who borrow are because of them, and those who save are advanced Yes. To save my mortal body and enter the Taoist rank, I will pay each other with my teacher and teacher, and pass on my ancestors, so when I am a teacher of rites, I will not forget my roots."

Zhang Wenfeng is dressed in a solemn yellow Taoist robe, wearing a crown on his head, with a solemn expression, holding incense in his hand, and reciting the "Golden Book of Jidu" in his mouth. .

Give precepts and take refuge, and issue crowns and scarves.

After a whole set of complicated ceremonies, the guests sent their blessings.

At noon, there is a vegetarian feast for guests, and everyone is treated equally with a small bowl of Lingmi porridge.

After sending away the guests and the family members of the newly promoted disciples, the head of the mountain changed the ID badges for the sixteen disciples again and assigned them a residence yard.

In the early winter of October, the cold wind was bleak, and a group of male and female Taoist priests walked on the mountain with their wide sleeves fluttering. Under the leadership of the mountain leader, they patrolled the entire site of the Xianling Temple, which had been expanded several times. go.

Sitting on the back of the donkey is Hu Qiang'er, who loves to be lively. On the left shoulder of Hu Qiang'er, there are two green weavers who are much thicker and no longer hiding from others.

The new disciples are all gods and handsome, full of spirits.

In the tea room, Yun Qiuhe showed Yue Anyan a few treasures she found at the street shops in Fangshi, Zhoucheng, including antique jade combs, purple gold hairpins, silver rosary strings, etc., all of which were old objects.

The result of showing off was that Yue Anyan snatched two of them, causing quite a commotion.

Yun Qiuhe repeatedly said "meeting people is not good, making friends carelessly", she can of course share it with Yue Anyan.

Zhang Wenfeng suddenly looked outside the door, and the little fox demon in a long pink dress appeared with a happy face, called "Guardian", greeted the two daughters of Yue Anyan, and jumped to avoid Yun Qiuhe's outstretched claws to pinch his face , grinning and announced the good news: "My sister has advanced to the third rank, so I don't have to stay on the mountain all day long."

She has the feeling of watching the moonlight when the clouds bloom. It is harder than her sister's retreat to stay on the mountain.

Fortunately, my sister succeeded in breaking through, and there is some hope of regaining the ancestral land.

Otherwise, I don't know what year and month it will be when she is expected to take up the heavy responsibility?
Zhang Wenfeng and the others sent congratulations one after another. The little fox demon hadn't come to play for a long time, and it was a burst of excitement when he learned that the temple master had been promoted four months ago.

I heard that two rare Green Weaver Girls have been added to the Daoguan site. Where the little fox demon can sit still, he gets up and flies out, unwilling to wait for a moment, followed by the childlike Yun Qiuhe.

The heart of a child is naturally cute.
