Chapter 17
back room.

In front of the portrait of the ancestor.

Meng Fan and Jin McGee stood there respectfully, while Master Zhong Fabai was lighting incense.

During the whole process, no one spoke.

Because, after lighting the incense, the master closed his eyes and seemed to be communicating with the ancestors.

Soon.

A voice sounded in my ear.

"allow."

It's not grand, but rather gentle.

But in Meng Fan's ears, this was nothing less than thunder.

This...didn't the ancestor pass away?
According to the master, the founder Zhong Yuewu was a martial arts examiner during the Guangxu period of the late Qing Dynasty. Even if he passed the examination at the age of 15, he would still be at least a hundred years old now.

wrong!

If the ancestor had not died, how could the master live alone and enshrine the portrait here.

Don't look at Meng Fan's calm performance, in fact, his mental activity is no less than that of Kim McKee.

At this time, the Patriarch's voice sounded in my ears again: "You two little guys, don't think too much and kowtow obediently. Haha, I didn't expect that I would still see successors to my family's inheritance a hundred years later."

"Didn't you hear what the Patriarch said?"

Zhong Fabai gave an urging, and Meng Fan immediately calmed down and saluted respectfully.

"Well, Ruzi can be taught."

After one bow and three kowtows.

"Everyone, get up. I already know the achievements of the two of you. After entering this sect, you must practice hard and subjugate demons. Don't neglect it."

After saying this, Meng Fan and Jin McGee stood up and waited patiently for the Patriarch's instructions.

"Hey, why did you just start looking for a master today? If you hadn't enlightened yourself this time and told me that you would become a master when you accepted a disciple, I wouldn't have known that you would be in such trouble."

"Concentrate and calm down, pass on..."

The sound disappears.

Meng Fan looked at Jin McGee, and Jin McGee looked at Meng Fan. None of the brothers understood why.

Why is the Patriarch silent?
Look sideways and forward.

The master, who had gray hair on his temples, has grown black hair again and his injuries have obviously recovered. Not only that, but a smile appears on his face, which is usually stoic.

Apparently, the ancestor ignored them and was whispering to the master.

Kim McGee couldn't help but wonder.

As the eldest brother, Meng Fan was thinking about what method the ancestor used to heal the Tao injury so quickly, and what he taught him that made the master so happy.

"Subjugate demons and destroy them, and you will be given meritorious deeds."

Not long after, the voice sounded again.

Grandmaster is online.

"Merits can offset all karma, obtain blessings, increase understanding, and heal Taoist injuries. Anyway, the benefits are endless. Just do good things in the future and don't worry about your personal future."

"As for the method I taught you, you two have no use."

After saying this, the incense candles placed on the altar table were burned out.

The patriarch is gone.

The three masters and disciples are left behind, you look at me, I look at you.

Finally, Zhong Fabai returned to normal and said:

"Now that you two have been recognized by the Patriarch, the next step is to consecrate you."

Meng Fan was awe-struck when he heard the word "granting urn".

Although he had never read any Taoist scriptures or even been to a Taoist temple before crossing, he had read a lot of Xiuxian novels, and he knew that "granting a talisman" is a very solemn and meaningful thing, and it cannot be tolerated. frivolous.

at the same time.

Seeing his eldest disciple's solemn expression, Zhong Fabai nodded secretly in his mind. He vaguely remembered that Meng Fan once said something like "I have admired Taoist culture since childhood." Now that he saw it, it was indeed true.

On the contrary, it was the young apprentice who seemed solemn but actually understood nothing and his eyes were filled with confusion.

"The seal script is the spiritual text of the supreme god and the secret words of the saints of the nine heavens. It will impeach the officials of the three realms, control the fortune of Yuanyuan, and control the group. Appraise the sins and blessings, examine the merits and demerits, and the importance of good and evil. , recorded in Jianji."

Zhong Fabai recalled what his master said to him when he first entered the Taoist sect. While lamenting the passage of time, he earnestly told his two disciples:

"Being awarded the urn means that you have officially entered the Taoist sect, gone from the ordinary to the holy, and from the secular to the true."

"At the same time, you will also get methods of cultivation for daily practice."

"Besides that, it is also a certificate to ask the gods to recruit generals, and it can be used to perform rituals and build rituals for people."

"Finally, the talisman records the merits and virtues of your life. If you die in the middle of the journey, you can use this to serve in the underworld or the heavenly court."

Meng Fan nodded, indicating that he understood.

And Jin McKee couldn't help but asked: "Master, what would happen if the Taoist priests didn't teach you the magic weapon?" "Other sects have their own rules. Our sect must teach the magic weapon. Otherwise, we can't be called a mage. We can only say it's a Taoist hobby." He has no magic power."

"That's it." Kim McGee nodded, with a look of anticipation on his face.

After all, according to what the master said, there are many benefits to teaching people, and the sooner they are given, the better.

"You kid..."

Looking at Jin McGee's longing eyes, Zhong Fabai said helplessly: "Why are you so anxious? I haven't finished talking yet. Learn the art of nourishing Qi from your senior brother and guard against arrogance and impetuosity."

Meng Fan: "..."

Hehe, I’m just standing still, but I’m always praised by the master. It’s so embarrassing.

"Teacher, continue. Don't interrupt me again. If you don't understand anything, it's not too late to ask later."

"Yes."

"It stands to reason that three masters must be present when conferring the talisman, namely: the supervisor of the talisman altar, the master of transmission, and the master of recommendation. But in today's society, where can we find so many masters with real magic power?"

Meng Fan pricked up his ears and listened. He was sure that the master had a solution, but he was curious about what it was.

Jin McGee, who had just been lectured by his master, restrained his words and tried hard to learn from his senior brother.

"So, you two follow me."

"My teacher was born in the 28th year of the Republic of China. When he was eight years old, he was taught in Maoshan, and his altar name..."

The sound disappears.

However, Meng Fan knew the answer. Just now, a piece of information flooded into his mind like enlightenment.

"Just know it in your heart, don't show it to others easily."

"After a while, I will stand up on the altar for the teacher's meeting, and inform Tan Jing, the officials in the palace, etc. In this way, from now on, you can use my name to cast spells and pray to all the great gods. As long as your own conduct is sufficient and your intentions are sincere. , they will definitely answer.”

In fact, there is something Zhong Fabai did not say.

Only apprentices who pass the test and pass the test in terms of character and kung fu are qualified to use the title of master.

After all, one prospers all, one loses all.

It's okay for a disciple to practice diligently and behave uprightly. If he makes a mistake in the future, he, the master, will also suffer, and the merits accumulated in the past will most likely disappear in an instant.

However, Zhong Fabai believed in his own eyesight, and would never misjudge anyone!

"Junior brother and I will definitely not disappoint the master. We will correct the path and slay demons..."

Meng Fan is not introverted, on the contrary, he is a bit outgoing, but in formal occasions, he will not speak unless necessary. Now, he really feels a kind of caring feeling, so he can't help but promise.

The master didn't say anything that would harm both of them. He trusted them unconditionally, but he was not stupid. When he introduced Shi Lu before, he made it clear:
The urn records the Taoist's merits and demerits throughout his life.

Now that he and Jin McGee have adopted the title of master, they can naturally enjoy the benefits brought by his meritorious deeds throughout his life. Correspondingly, if he does not conduct self-examination, his master will be harmed.

"Haha, good! Good! Good! Dashan, master believes in you."

Realizing the sincerity of his beloved disciple, Zhong Fabai laughed heartily. He felt that the two happiest things in his life were:

When I was a wanderer, I met a good teacher.

Being lonely in middle age, I found a good disciple.

"The last thing I want to tell you is that when I was a teacher, I was given the talisman of the immortal spirit. If I am not given the summons, I will not descend. The gods will not camp and defend, and the chanting will not be effective. The five emperors of the three realms do not respect their shapes. I was given this talisman, fasted and started playing, and subdued ghosts. Slay the devil.”

"So, you two must do your best to conquer the demons in the future, so that you can improve your cultivation faster."

Fight for war?

A word popped into Meng Fan's mind.

"But if you still have any questions, just tell me."

His eyes looked towards Kim McGee.

If you don’t know your disciple’s character, how can you preach and learn karma to resolve doubts?

Zhong Fabai had already noticed that he had a problem and had been holding it in for a long time.

"Master... what exactly did the patriarch teach you, and he said that the two of us don't need it."

Hearing this, Meng Fan also said curiously: "Master, if it's convenient, please tell us."

The two rookies who had just started, suddenly saw the existence of the ancestor's level, they must be yearning, and couldn't help but want to know more.

In response, Zhong Fabai expressed his understanding and said with a smile:
"You use your master's altar title to embark on the path of cultivation, but if you want to make a breakthrough as a master, you can only use your own altar title as the foundation and temporarily borrow the ancestor's."

"Master, what is the ancestor?"

"This is really powerful, the seven-star talisman. If you don't grant it to the heavenly star officials, you won't be surrendered. If you extend your life and save your life, but the heavenly officials won't obey, you won't be summoned. If you give it, you will be named the heavenly official. If you protect your life and prolong your life, pray to the star officials. According to the saying, if you attain Taoism and ascend to immortality, the gate of heaven will open itself."

"So powerful, then we..."

"Go, go, you brat is thinking about how to fly before he even learned how to walk. Learn more from your senior brother and be more cautious."

"Get out of the way, I'm going to raise the altar and tell all the great gods your names."

 I don't know how I wrote it. At the beginning, I wanted to be lazy, follow the trend, and apply the tricks of cultivating immortals, but after thinking about it, I realized that the positive school is strictly inherited, and it is better to respect others. The protagonist is not in the mainland, and the era is influenced by others. Limitation, the best and most orthodox solution is to use the master's altar name.
