Cultivation Academy Manual

Chapter 8 How can a woman be called [Father]?
Senior Sister Fang emphasized uneasily: "I would like to remind everyone that the ranking has nothing to do with admission qualifications. As long as you can complete the five-dimensional test and reach the gate within the specified time, you will be fine even if you don't have a Taiqing Pearl in your hand."

"Okay, if you have no more questions." Senior Sister Fang looked at the shadow of the tree: "The time is now, ten o'clock sharp, the game officially starts."

In response, a few figures jumped into the peach blossom forest. It was the three members of the Cheng family who rushed into the peach blossom forest at the lead.

Next came six white-clothed young men from the Li family. They were walking with swords, their long hair and belts blown by the wind. They looked over the peach blossom forest and flew straight to the trial room.

The Jiang and Wu families were together, walking at a leisurely pace, as if they were on an outing.

Just when Ji Tang wanted to ask his uncle's family if they wanted to come together, the two people who were beside him just now had disappeared, but there was no trace in the sky or on the ground. Ji Tang strode like a meteor, and Ji Tang had no choice but to follow his brother off the spirit ship. .

Lord Luo Yun had already summoned two cranes, and he and his sister each rode one, and laughed away in the sky, attracting everyone's attention.

In an instant, there were very few people left alone on the deck of the spirit ship.

Probably because humans are social animals, many people chatted with each other while taking the spirit boat, and made appointments to go together for the exam.

In this way, most of the scattered people have found their own companions.

Those who did not socialize on the soul ship, and now they are alone, tacitly enter the peach blossom forest with others who are also alone.

Yu Niannian was lucky to have found such a good friend as soon as school started.

She and the young Taoist priest Miao Shu talked about their hometown and life along the way. One talked about the fun things when he was in school, and the other talked about all kinds of people he had seen in the Taoist temple since he was a child.

The two exchanged interesting stories about their lives. One of them came from an ordinary single-parent family, the other was an orphan Taoist priest, and they were both very interested in each other's lives.

The conversation was lively along the way, and I wished I could marry Jinlan on the spot.

Needless to say, the two entered the peach blossom forest together.

"Wow, Miao Shu, are those flying in white clothes and flying swords immortals?" Yu Niannian had many exclamations and questions about the world of immortality in her head, and she had millions of questions that she urgently needed to ask.

"Haha, when you learn to fly with a sword, you can also become an immortal." Miao Shu looked at the map and recognized the road while answering Yu Niannian's one hundred thousand whys.

"Then do you know any flying spells?" Yu Niannian looked left and right at Miao Shu beside him, his eyes shining with great expectation.

"I don't know how. Not all the nuns in our Taoist temple are cultivators. There are only two who are real cultivators. The rest are cultivators and believers."

"What's the difference? Cultivating immortality, cultivating Taoism, or believing in Taoism."

"You can understand cultivating immortals as being able to cast spells; cultivating Taoism is about cultivating both life and life but not being able to cast spells; believing in Taoism means knowing nothing. A mortal can also believe in Taoism, and a cultivator does not need to believe in Taoism."

"What do immortal cultivators believe in if they don't believe in Taoism?"

"Believe in yourself." Miao Shu's smile gave Yu Niannian a peaceful and warm strength, "Believe in yourself that you can live as long as God."

"But isn't Taoism also about practicing elixirs to seek immortality?"

"Then you can think that the only difference between the two is that one donates the incense money to Taoist priests to pray for blessings, and the other spends the incense money on himself to make longevity pills." "Then is it really useful to pray for blessings in your Taoist temple?"

"As a Taoist priest, I can't tell you that no one will bless you even if you burn incense, but you have to know one thing. There are indeed gods in the world. For example, many of the ancestors of the ten major families were already famous on the earth before they ascended. There are gods from all walks of life." Miao Shu led the way to the west, "For example, Nuwa, the ancestor of the Feng family, Shen Nong, the ancestor of the Jiang family who tasted hundreds of herbs, and Huang Di, the ancestor of the Ji family, but they haven't even had time to bless their own descendants. How can they get their turn? You. And burning incense doesn’t send them a message from thousands of miles away, so how can they receive the message?”

"Nvnuwa... god... farmer... Huangdi..." Yu Niannian stayed where she was, slurring her words, "You mean... Nuwa is real, not a myth?!"

Miao Shu understood Yu Niannian's surprise very well, "I was as shocked as you when I heard it for the first time. When I was a child in the Taoist temple, my senior sisters would tell me fairy tales. But when I was selected to go to school, I realized that Those are all true. And their descendants have continued, although the bloodline has been diluted..."

"There are about 100 students enrolled in the college every year, and the top ten families account for 30% of them."

"My wife told me that among them, the four families of Feng, Jiang, and Ji'lao originated from the mythical era, Taishu and Jilian's family originated from the Pre-Qin period, and the remaining four families of Zhang, Li, Cheng, and Xu originated around the Han and Tang Dynasties. Although these four families got rich late, they have a large number of people; although they have a large number of people, their overall quality is not as good as that of the ancient families. One is going down, the other is going up, and the ten major families are comparable."

"Master's wife? Your master has a wife?" Yu Niannian shook his head, "Isn't it right? Taoist priests can get married?"

"Haha, our Taoist temple only accepts women, not men, so the entire Taoist temple only has female Taoist priests, not male Taoist priests." Miaoshu took Yu Niannian's hand and continued walking west, "The master I'm talking about is the one who taught me Taoism. , if she is a girl, I will call her Master Mu, and if he is a boy, I will call him Master."

"Oh! That's it. I thought the master's wife was the master's wife... It turns out that if your master is a woman, he'll be called the master, and if he's a man, he'll be called the master."

"Haha, how can a woman be called [Father]?"

"In the TV series, the female master in the TV series is directly called master, and the master's wife and master's wife are the wives of the male master. I don't know what the female master's husband is called... By the way, there are several female writers and wives. Are scientists called [Mr.]? It feels like they have the same purpose."

When Miao Shu heard the words, he suddenly looked at Yu seriously and said every word: "No, the female teacher is called Shimu, the male teacher is called Master; the husband of Master's wife is called Shifu, and the wife of Master is called Shiniang; I miss you Make no mistake, the teachers at the academy will be angry.”

She paused and added: "If you're not used to it, just call them teacher. Teacher Li and Teacher Zhang can never go wrong."

Seeing Miao Shu suddenly becoming serious, Yu Niannian realized the importance of this matter.

"The same goes for the female gentleman in your mouth. After you enter the world of immortality today, you must not mention it again. In the world of immortality, men are not superior to women. If you call the wrong person, it means disrespecting others. Disrespecting others is likely to cause some Conflict. And the destructiveness of conflicts in this world is not on the scale of a small fight in the mortal world."

"I understand, thank you, Miao Shu." Yu Niannian held Miao Shu's hand gratefully, "Actually, I have always felt that it is wrong to call women sir."

"Even if you don't agree, but you have this knowledge and this content is engraved in your mind, one day you may do this kind of thing subconsciously. This is the impact of the environment on people. Human beings use culture and language to Influence people, control people. You don’t even know the words, but you are already in it.”

Miaoshu's face was childish, but the words he spoke were beyond what a 13-year-old child could say.

Her expression is always gentle and calm, she speaks unhurriedly, and she can express herself clearly even when she speaks seriously.

"Miaoshu...how do you know so much...are you really only 13 years old..." Yu Niannian absorbed a lot of knowledge points at once and felt a little enlightened. Then she admired Miaoshu and said, "I envy you so much." , how can you be so powerful and know everything!"

Miao Shu smiled and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Since the Soul Penetration, he has actually not been very adapted to the rules of this world - the world of cultivating immortals.

Because she once mistakenly called her mistress as master, she got a long lecture.

It may even be discovered that he is not Miaoshu himself.
