Begin as a person of seven sins

Chapter 4 Zhang Lingyu: I want to be my senior brother’s right-hand man
My name is Zhang Lingyu,
He is the current No. 60 fifth-generation Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain, the master of the Celestial Path, and the direct disciple of Zhang Zhiwei.

I ranked No. 11,

The master is a very interesting person, with a long beard and long eyebrows, and his face is sometimes gentle and sometimes calm, but occasionally he will reveal a cunning smile, like an old naughty boy.

And on weekdays, no matter whether he is a direct disciple or an outer disciple, he treats every disciple in the sect equally. He also treats himself who grew up in Longhu Mountain as his own and loves himself even more.

All the senior brothers in the sect are rare and good-natured people.
The fourth senior brother, Zhao Huanjin, always smiles, is amiable, and has unfathomable strength. He is the one with the strongest cultivation among all the senior brothers. However, this senior brother also takes great care of his fellow juniors.

Ninth Senior Brother, Rong Shan, is a carefree person, careless in doing things, and a warm-hearted person, which he picked up at the mountain gate back then.

Speaking of this, Zhang Lingyu had to talk about the senior brother who felt the strangest and admired the most.

Tenth senior brother, Chang Ding,

I heard from my senior brothers that he had the same fate as him. He was also abandoned by his parents outside the mountain gate. Although he entered the mountain gate at almost the same time as him, he was half a year older than him, but he had a woman's name.

Talking about why a boy was named after a woman, when he asked his brothers, Brother Rongshan also grinned and said that the master saw that the child was good-looking and had skin as smooth as gel. If he hadn’t looked carefully, he would have She thought this was a girl, like a beautiful jade, so she named her beautiful jade.

However, when this senior brother was about five years old, he seemed to have opened his spiritual wisdom. He spoke and acted like an adult, acted cautiously and behaved himself. He didn't like others calling him by his original name, so he gave himself a Taoist name, It's called Changding.

This senior brother is the same age as me, so I can feel how talented he is. He learns reading and literacy very quickly. He completed his two years of homework in just half a month.

Since he was five years old, this senior brother has been cheating all the way. He has mastered Taoist classics such as "Zhengyi Jing" and "Tao Te Ching" first. At that time, I was very envious of my senior brother for having such a high level of knowledge. talent.

But things took a turn for the better when I was 12 years old.

Logically speaking, after master teaches us to learn all the explanations of Taoist scriptures, he starts to teach us how to refine Qi.

However, the master did not teach his senior brother to practice Qi. He only gave him the meditation spell. Apart from that, he never taught him any other spells.

On the contrary, he did teach himself the well-known spell of Longhumen, the Golden Light Curse.

Moreover, the master was intending to pass on the position of Heavenly Master to himself, instead of this senior brother who had been gifted since childhood, which surprised him very much. It was obvious that his senior brother was the real genius.

I have envied my senior brother for 12 years, now it is his turn to envy me, right?

However, the tenth senior brother expected that he would be in the same situation and accepted it all calmly.

Not understanding the reason for all this, Zhang Lingyu ran to the master and asked,
"Master, why are you teaching me the exercises instead of teaching them to my tenth senior brother?"

The old Heavenly Master seemed to have expected that his disciple would have such questions, and answered calmly,

"This child Chang Ding was born with a disease and was unable to cultivate Taoism. However, I did intend to pass on the position of Heavenly Master to him, in order to break his destiny and change his destiny so that he could defy the heavens. Practice Qi and live longer, but "

The old Heavenly Master said, looking at Zhang Lingyu who had a complicated expression next to him.

"Senior brother refused?"

"Yes, Chang Ding, the child, refused."

When Zhang Lingyu heard the news, she walked away tremblingly as if she had lost her soul.

Is everything I have now something that my senior brother doesn’t want? This senior brother of mine is really strange.

From then on, Zhang Lingyu saw that his senior brother always got up before midnight every day and went to sit in meditation under the old locust tree in the courtyard behind the mountain.

At the beginning, Zhang Lingyu thought that his senior brother was secretly practicing Qi, so he had been following him secretly for the past few days, and found that every time he got up before it was dark, and then went to his master's house. room, and after a while, he walked into the courtyard on the back mountain.

He walked to an old locust tree and sat down cross-legged.I originally thought that this senior brother had hidden a lot of secrets, but it turned out that the senior brother had been sitting there all morning, and in the middle of it, he was almost motionless, and there was no Qi around him, and it didn't look like he was practicing Qi.

Peeping. Oh no, Zhang Lingyu observed a few times and then felt relieved. It turned out that his senior brother was not secretly practicing Qi behind his back.

But what on earth is my senior brother doing?

In the next four years, I made countless detours to the back mountain compound to observe every move of my senior brother.

Zhang Lingyu discovered that no matter how the weather changes, the tenth senior brother is still there all year round, from spring to autumn, whether it is windy or snowy,

Thinking of this, Zhang Lingyu had to start to admire the perseverance of his senior brother. This is probably the person he admires the most besides his master.
Especially, that night.

I had just finished practicing today's homework and wanted to see if my senior brother was still in the back mountain. As a result, I saw a scene that Zhang Lingyu would never forget.
I saw the young man sitting motionless under the locust tree under the moonlight as elegant as mist, with lips as beautiful as cherry blossoms and skin as delicate as porcelain, just like the beautiful young man in Greek mythology who died while looking at the daffodils.

Zhang Lingyu stared blankly at the scene in front of him. The senior brother with a stunning appearance was sitting in Zen under the locust tree, like an indescribable god.

The young man obviously noticed Zhang Lingyu's arrival and asked in a low voice,
"Lingyu, what's the matter?"

"Ah, senior brother, I'm sorry to disturb you. I finished my homework today and was about to go back to bed. I wanted to come and see if you are still practicing. After all, it is already this hour and all the disciples in the sect should go back to bed."

Zhang Lingyu seemed a little panicked at this time, and there was a bit of blush on his cheeks.

"That's it, Lingyu, you go back first, I have to go find the master later."

Chang Ding nodded slightly.

"Ah, okay, senior brother, you are busy first, I will leave first."

After saying that, Zhang Lingyu ran away in a hurry, ah, how embarrassing.

Chang Ding looked at Zhang Lingyu's unusual behavior, and there was something different in his eyes, and he couldn't help but think in his heart,

Fujiang's physique has been almost uncontrollable recently, and he must find a way to enter the interior scene as soon as possible.
-
Zhang Lingyu was walking on the road, recalling the feeling just now, what happened, why did he feel that the senior brother tonight was a little different, a little strange, giving himself a sense of mystery that even the master did not have, like a god.

Even in the latter half of the night, Zhang Lingyu couldn't let go of the scene under the locust tree just now, and couldn't sleep in bed at night.

Locust tree?

Suddenly Zhang Lingyu suddenly thought of a story that is familiar to Buddhism.

Sakyamuni once attained enlightenment under the bodhi tree
According to Buddhist scriptures, Sakyamuni was a member of the Sakyamuni tribe of Kapilawei Kingdom in ancient Central India. He was born rich, pretentious, and born with good luck.

Gautama Buddha married a wife and had children, and had no worries about food and clothing until he was 29 years old. He began to have anxiety in his mind. This anxiety came from a long-term inspection of the country. He saw people hungry, poor, hypocritical, cheating, stealing, and killing.

So Sakyamuni Buddha began to meditate and gain enlightenment, looking for a way to save the world. Later, Sakyamuni Buddha meditated under the Bodhi tree and vowed to find what he was looking for. He saw the stars on the morning of No. 40 and became enlightened.After becoming a Buddha, Sakyamuni was respectfully called Buddha, which means a person with great enlightenment.

There are also ancient saints, Leshan laymen, who also achieved enlightenment in Longchang under difficult conditions.

It was obvious that his whole senior brother wanted to imitate the ancient saints, the ancestors of Buddhism, enlighten the Tao, break the shackles of the world, and seek the way to the world.

As a fellow senior fellow student, he should help him greatly.

Therefore, Zhang Lingyu made up her mind in her heart,

I want to be my senior brother’s right-hand man!
