Taoist chanting

I am used to the current Gouwa who is relaxed in his studies, has food and warm clothes, and now he is suddenly asked to write ten more pages every day, recite the scriptures for half an hour, and go to the Jingyi Hall to learn the profound meanings of the scriptures at night. After playing wildly with his friends for a long time, Gouwa felt very wronged, and had to do as he couldn't sit still.

He was born as a beggar at the bottom, and he has long understood a truth, if he wants not to be bullied, he must recruit more helpers.

There is a saying in the countryside that "good people are bullied by others, and good horses are ridden by others".

He took in so many younger brothers, and while he was in the Qingzheng other courtyard with a tight prestige and was not bullied by others, he had several group fights, even those who
Apprentices with cultivation bases did not dare to provoke him.

He figured out from his own mind that it was the head of the mountain who wanted to punish him, probably because some villain he bullied complained.

I agreed not to tell the adults about the things between the children, and don't let him know which coward it is, it will piss him off.

What makes Gouwa even more depressed is that the former younger brothers have not played with him since the past two days. When they saw him approaching, they swarmed and scattered, for fear of getting the bad luck on his back, which gave him a good experience. The world of people who "fall down the tree and scatter the sun in the lake" is desolate.

October enters early winter, and it gets dark early.

After writing the last stroke in the training hall, drying the ink, it was getting dark outside, and took a thick stack of paper to the teacher next door

On the table in the public room, use a paperweight to prevent it from being disturbed by the draft.

There was no Taoist leader in the public house, Gouwa glanced around, and saw a stack of scripture examination papers on another table, and the name "Ye Weiyin" written in the lower left corner of the first one, his heart surged. Nameless anger.

There are more than [-] apprentices in the fourth batch, and there are currently more than [-] people who have advanced to Huaxi Realm, and they have become official disciples of Xianling Temple in advance.

People divide like groups and things like like flock together, more than [-] outstanding apprentices form a school of their own, and they get closer.

The ones he recruited were all the apprentices who were at the bottom of their studies, those who made trouble, couldn't sit still and were restless because of their homework, he had no choice but to complete the homework assigned by the Taoist priest, and then he would tell the master of the temple, he couldn't eat it Walking around will be driven out of the mountain gate to beg for food.

Ye Weiyin is one of the best apprentices among more than 13 outstanding apprentices. He is [-] years old this year. He is tall and strong. He has never looked at him, a half-way apprentice who has not yet learned the exercises.

There is a clear distinction between poor apprentices and excellent apprentices, each playing their own way without interfering with each other.

Gouwa glanced at the door. He quickly picked up the writing brush on the table, rubbed it a few times, and smeared some semi-dry ink on several places on the scroll, and quickly stuffed the first paper in the middle, and then used his hands Pressed down hard on the test paper, oiled the soles of his feet and immediately left the room, went out and looked around, but no one paid attention to this side.

Looking at the lively scene of chasing and playing on the field, Gouwa walked to the other side of the corridor alone and lonely.

The former partner saw him and pretended not to see him, let alone invite him to play together.

The usual free time before dinner is his favorite happy time. He is active everywhere with friends and friends on the mountain and down the mountain. How can he be alone like this now? It reminds him of the miserable situation in the past when begging in the countryside that even dogs are disgusting.

When he came to the gate, he turned his head and saw the temple master climbing up the steps.

Gou Wa hurriedly tried to avoid it, but it was raining all night because of the leak in the room. He was worried that the Master Guanzhu would know his misdeeds and expel him from the mountain gate ahead of time.

He saw with his own eyes that an apprentice was dismissed by the head of the mountain in public because he was at the bottom of the quiz for three consecutive times and violated the rules of the mountain gate several times. He was half dead, but he couldn't make the ruthless mountain leader take back his life.

"Zhang Xuanan, did you do something wrong, why did you run away?"

Zhang Guanzhu smiled and called the little guy who shrank his neck and hid behind the doorpost. The fourth batch of apprentices also exposed many problems because of the arrival of Gouwa. There are many more people seeking improvement than in previous years.

Gou Wa is the black sheep, or maybe a wild catfish thrown into the pond.

The scum in the pond was stirred up, and the minds of the apprentices could be seen more clearly.

Those who are not firm in character, afraid of difficulties and lazy, should not waste the resources of the sect. This is not like going to a private school to take the imperial examination.

There is no turning back in practice, just seize the day and night.

"I have met the temple master, I have not done anything wrong, just now I did not see clearly that it is the temple master, I am rude, the temple master forgive me!"

Gouwa respectfully cupped his hands and bowed to salute. He spoke in an orderly and polite manner. He had played from the island to Lingbao Temple, and then to the bustling capital city of Da’an. His foreshadowing, his heart is settled, it seems that the head of the mountain did not report to the temple master.

For him, firing him and letting him live in the countryside to beg for food is no less than killing him.

Nothing but death, nothing more.

As for the act of smearing Ye Weiyin's exam papers just now, he doesn't feel guilty at all, just like he shit in front of the dormitory door of five outstanding apprentices one night, as long as no one is caught It's not a big deal, I just want to disgust those guys who look down on people with dog eyes.

"There's still a while before dinner, come and talk with me."

Zhang Guanzhu greeted, walked to the corridor on the right, and said: "I heard that you don't concentrate on your studies, do your daily homework, form cliques, fight in groups to bully your classmates, shit in front of your classmates' dormitory doors, and smear your classmates' exam papers. , it’s outrageous.”

Gou Wa almost fell to the ground, it's over, the temple master knows everything, he's dead this time.

The temple master possesses supernatural powers, and any bad things he has done can be counted.

Even the exam paper he just smeared clearly, he was dead.

"If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing yourself, so don't play your little cleverness in front of us, or you will hurt yourself sooner or later, and you will suffer the consequences."

Zhang Wenfeng didn't turn back, and walked forward slowly, warning himself.

Poor people must have something to hate, the old saying is not wrong at all.

After walking a while, he waved to the pale-faced little guy who was parked behind him, and said, "I once said that I will allow you to stay in Xianling Temple for three years, and you will not be kicked out of the mountain gate in advance. You can rest assured."

The heartbroken Gouwa came back to life with a sigh of relief, trotting forward like a dog, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead and laughing: "Gouwa knew it was wrong, thank you, Lord, for letting Gouwa go. Come back, don’t dare to be stupid again next time.”

In front of others, he would not reveal that he used to be called Gouwa, but in front of the temple master, he felt proud to be called "Gouwa", which was very close, and it was purely his instinct and careful thinking.

"Correct when you know a mistake. It's not about words, but about taking practical actions. In the big class tomorrow morning, you go to the stage to admit your mistakes, and in front of all your classmates and the teacher, tell the classmates you bullied. , the five classmates who have shitted and disgusted, and Ye Weiyin who scribbled on the test paper today, admit a mistake."

Zhang Wenfeng said it as a matter of course, if you don't teach the little guy an unforgettable lesson, you won't have a long memory.

Those who do evil must be tortured with evil methods, and they cannot be tolerated and let go lightly.

The sweat on Gouwa's forehead grew even more, anxious and frightened, he called out, "My God, can I confess my mistake to them in private?"

When he was in the island country, he hated his second-timer and Wu Mazi who often bullied him. In the middle of the night, he wiped manure on the gate of their house and dug their crops.

Once he recognizes it, he will be responsible for any bad things in the village, how can he still mess around?
"A brave man is a hero. Don't you often brag about your heroism to your younger brothers, so from this time on, show your courage and don't let others look down on you."

Zhang Wenfeng encouraged with a smile.

Gou Wa secretly thought, he will be beaten up this time, and I'm afraid no one will play with him in the future.

People live a face, and trees live a skin.

The temple master is too ruthless, if he wants to tear off his face and let all the apprentices spurn him, what will the teacher think of him?
Zhang Wenfeng walked forward with a smile, and said, "Don't blame me for being cruel. You made a mistake yourself, so you have to bear your punishment. You make mistakes again and again, and you make mistakes three times.
Four mistakes, another apprentice would have been fired several times. "

Hearing the horrifying word "expulsion", Gouwa was sobered up. Compared with Xiaoming, his face is a fart. The memory of the suffering of being hungry is like a scourge. He nodded quickly: "Yes, Gouwa listens to the audience." The Lord will punish me, and I will apologize on stage tomorrow.”

"Knowing your mistakes can make a big difference. I hope you learn from your mistakes and don't do it again next time!"

"The disciple dare not."

"Starting tomorrow, in addition to completing your homework, you go to work in the vegetable field and wheat field every afternoon, and Hu Qiang'er will supervise you. Since you are too full and jump up and down to make trouble, then do more farm chores and know the food. It’s all hard work.”

Zhang Guanzhu waved his hand and left.

Leaving Gouwa, who was eager to slap himself fiercely, bowed in the corridor and said "Yes, disciple obeys." He knew that he was only one step away from being kicked out of the mountain gate.

He no longer thinks about how to win over the younger brother, whether he will be retaliated by his offended classmates.

The urgent thing now is to keep the job in hand, and don't regret it until you are kicked out.

Zhang Wenfeng walked into the tea house, and the head of the mountain poured a cup of tea, shook his head and sighed: "You are so young, he is full of crooked ways, it is amazing, if it is not for the master, you should keep him, put him in my hands, and report to the police The Daolu Branch will never hire. There are so many apprentices, how can he be allowed to lead a bad manner, let alone have the energy to discipline them one by one."

"Give him one more chance, pay more attention to him, if he still commits crimes knowingly, and his character is unbearable, then he will be dismissed and sent away, so that there will be no future troubles."

"Listen to the Lord."

The head of the mountain nodded, starting from this group of apprentices, before December 500th of this year, the apprentices who have not advanced to Huaxijing will no longer have the opportunity to take Qingqi powder three times. [-] years is not a long time, and the resources of the sect must be concentrated On outstanding disciples.

Dismissed apprentices, even if they advance to Huaxi, they will lose the opportunity to enter the great sect, and can only be casual cultivators.

The little episode passed.

Zhang Wenfeng stayed in the sect for more than a month, giving as many lessons as possible to the apprentices, teaching them some principles of life. He practiced chanting sutras every day, comprehended swordsmanship, and went to the cave in the back mountain to sacrifice bronze lamps every day.

In mid-November, when it was snowing heavily, he rushed into the secret realm again.

The sun is shining brightly in the quiet environment of Moling, and it is always like spring all the year round.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the temple master, Di Po, who was strolling on the gravel plain in front of the stone castle, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute.

"Okay, Dipo, you are the first monk among the second batch of disciples to advance to the Freedom Realm."

Zhang Wenfeng looked at the young and handsome disciples with a steady breath, each batch had a few outstanding ones, as long as they were careful not to have a crooked mind, they didn't have to worry too much, they could still play a very good role in leading the way.

Dipper gratefully said some kind words.

The sect spent a lot of pills and resources on cultivating him. When he was training outside, he also made friends with many talented people from other sects and knew the various conditions of other monks.

While chatting, He He came out from the stone castle, with a somewhat dejected face, and bowed to salute: "The disciple is incompetent, has failed to live up to the high expectations of the viewer, failed to break through the realm for the second time, and has no intention of staying in the secret realm. Please allow the disciples to return."

Zhang Wenfeng was dumbfounded, and stretched out his hand to help the disciple who had never had any sense of presence. It was the mountain gate that Yun Qiuhe brought He and his mother and son into, and more than twenty years had passed in a blink of an eye.

Di Po tactfully evaded to the side. Speaking of which, Senior Brother He was eager to break through the pass, which may have something to do with his success in promotion a few days ago. He was too impatient, but he ended up cutting off his current practice path and miserable end.

Zhang Wenfeng led He He down the mountain and said, "The post of Deacon of the Zongmen Foreign Affairs Hall is vacant. You can take up the post. Continue to practice on weekdays. Maybe when the time comes, you will have a chance to break through the situation?"

What he said was just to comfort He He. He failed to pass the level for the second time, and there was almost no possibility of advancing to the free state.

The rare resources of the sect will not be given to He He who has little chance.

He He had already considered the future path clearly, and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, the Lord, for your kindness. I am very grateful. I think clearly. I want to resign and return to my hometown with my mother, marry a wife and have children, and serve my mother as a filial piety.

From now on, I will live forever in the pastoral land, I sincerely ask the Lord for permission!"

Zhang Wenfeng sighed, this is a sensible person, he patted He He on the shoulder, and said: "You are allowed to retain your status as a disciple of Xianlingguan, and the children and grandchildren born in the future, who have the qualifications for cultivation, can be sent to the mountain."

"Thank you Lord!"

"Get up."

Zhang Wenfeng helped this disciple whose journey was not going well, and gave some instructions. The first time he spoke alone with He He for more than a quarter of an hour, after the explanation, he returned to the front of the stone castle. Several disciples heard that the master came back and walked out. Greetings with the spectator.

Asking He He to say goodbye to several people, Zhang Wenfeng told Di Po a few words alone, and waved Di Po and He He out of the secret realm, and Di Po escorted He He back to the sect to deal with the rest of the matter.

Hearing that He He will live in seclusion in the countryside, and will not have the chance to practice since then, the disciples feel a little heavy.

Study harder and harder, and dare not try to break through easily.

For the next month or so, Zhang Wenfeng stayed in the secret realm and did not leave, even the fourth batch of apprentices of Xianling Temple did not go back to participate in the assessment. There were Zhang Xuanyan, Shi Dongyun, Gao Leng, An Beiyuan, Zhuang Yu and others one after another. Successive breakthroughs, Shen Shan and Zhang Xuandong also failed to attack, Cui Zhongxian and Shi Wenzhan's forbidden law for half a year, but they did not find the feeling of breaking through.

The time is not enough, and they can't force it. They safely choose to give up this opportunity.

Qian Jing's cultivation had entered the late stage of the Fading Realm, which made her very happy.

During the day, she wandered around the stone castle for hundreds of miles, and the mineral resources she found filled a storage bag. people know.

On the third day before the new year, when Zhuang Yu successfully advanced to the customs, the trip to the secret realm came to an end.

Zhang Wenfeng led everyone out of the secret realm.

How many years and how many sorrows, some people are happy and some are worried.
