When the sword comes out of Emei, I will be the front

Chapter 58 Flowing water today, the predecessor of the bright moon

"Master is back!"

Only halfway up the mountain, I heard an exclamation, and more than twenty men who were chopping wood and carrying water put down their work and ran over to greet them.

Miejie nodded with a smile and said, "There is no need to be busy today. I will go back to the mountain with my master to pay homage to my ancestor."

The male disciples were overjoyed and took the packages from Miejie and others one after another, and rushed towards the mountain in a hurry.

The mountain road winds and twists, step by step, you gradually enter the clouds, looking up at the vast sea of ​​clouds, looking down at the vast sea of ​​clouds, looking around, you can only see the rough stone steps under your feet, and you can't see the way in or out.

Ye Guhong was shocked in his heart, and heard the voice of Master Miejie: ​​"The gate of Mount Emei is at the top of Mount Emei, with a height of [-] feet. In the past, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva appeared here, and Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty learned about it. , the decree was passed to build a temple on it, the temple was completed, and the Buddha's light bloomed, so it was named Puguang Hall."

"In the Tang Dynasty, Buddha's light appeared frequently, so it was renamed Guangxiang Temple. Over the course of hundreds of years, the master of our sect occasionally traveled here and saw that there were only dozens of wooden houses in the temple, none of which were inhabited. There was a small hall of Samantabhadra in the middle. There was no incense, and the Patriarch sighed: The incense of the Buddha is still there, and the love and hatred in the world have no end. Then he attained great enlightenment, became a nun, built a house on the basis of Guangxiang Temple, and founded our Emei sect! You guys! Disciple, you must not know the origin of this incident."

While he was talking, he saw the white clouds in front of him were all gone, except for the huge peak under his feet, standing proudly above the sea of ​​clouds. Ye Guhong raised his eyebrows, and felt that his eyes suddenly became brighter, as if he had entered the fairy world from the human world.

After walking for more than a hundred feet, we reached the top of the peak. However, the top of the peak was not steep. We saw that the place was vast, with houses high and low. There was a hall on the top, and more than ten acres of flat land outside the door, all paved with green bricks. When the sun shines on the earth, it shines like gold.

Miejie pointed to the main hall and said, "This is the treasure hall of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. We all go to offer incense with my master."

At this time, more than a hundred women poured out of the surrounding houses, including nuns and lay disciples. They all gathered around him happily and called him "Master".

Miejie said: "Don't make any noise. Please offer incense along with me and introduce the new junior brother and junior sister to you."

Then a nun presented incense and candles, and Miejie took a few people to the Puxian Hall to offer incense and worship. Then he went to a small hall at the back. When he stepped into it, he saw that the interior was simply decorated, with high and low incense tables for the two generations of Emei. The tablets of the ancestors and Gu Hongzi.

Miejie stood there for a long time, looking hesitant, and suddenly turned around and asked Ye Guhong: "Look at my senior brother's tablet... can you put it here?"

Ye Guhong knew that Miejie was determined to regard him as the reincarnation of his senior brother. So now that he has returned from reincarnation, is it appropriate to still offer a memorial tablet?
  Ye Guhong thought for a while and said ambiguously: "The flowing water today is the predecessor of the bright moon. He is exactly who he is, and I am still me."

Miejie recited it silently, with a speechless look on his face. He was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I understand, a senior brother is a senior brother, and a disciple is a disciple."

Then he stopped mentioning the memorial tablet, untied the sword that was tightly wrapped behind his back, and did not take it out. He even placed the package in front of the incense table, then lit the incense, prayed silently for a long time, and inserted it into the furnace.

The other disciples also lit incense one by one according to the morning and evening they entered. After a while, the furnace was filled with densely packed incense sticks, and green smoke billowed up, making the atmosphere more solemn.

Ye Guhong noticed that among the many disciples indoors and outdoors, only about twenty were qualified to offer incense, and the other disciples looked at these people with envy.

After everyone had finished offering incense, Miejie solemnly said: "Ye Guhong, Hu Xiaoyang, please kneel down."

Jin Mingjun immediately pulled two futons and placed them in front of the two of them.

Ye Guhong and Hu Xiaoyang knelt down as instructed, only to hear Miejie say: "When you two enter my door, you must abide by the rules of the door. I ask you to answer, and you must make your decision based on your heart. You must not deliberately make false statements. Did you know that?" The two people quickly said: "I know."

Miejie said loudly: "When you enter Emei, the first rule is to remember that you are a descendant of the Chinese people. It is your duty to drive out the Tartars and restore the Central Plains, and you will not hesitate to die or die. This rule can be followed. What?"

Ye Guhong and Hu Xiaoyang looked serious and solemnly said: "Yide."

Read down one by one of the Destruction of Tribulation. It is nothing more than that you must not deceive your master and destroy your ancestors, you must not bully the good, you must not associate with gangsters, you must not trap your fellow sects, and you must not teach martial arts well. There are thirty-six items in total. Every time you read, One day, they all asked if they could rely on it, and the two of them answered over and over again: "Yes."

After answering thirty-six "Yi De", Miejie's expression softened and he said with a smile: "In that case, Miejie, the third generation head of the Emei Sect, accepted Ye Guhong and Hu Xiaoyang as his direct disciples in front of the ancestors of the past generations. Entering the gate of my Emei, my ancestor has a spirit in heaven, and he will give me more blessings. You two must also work hard and win glory for my Emei! Kowtow to my ancestor!"

The two kowtowed quickly, nine times in a row, and Miejie shouted: "The ceremony is completed! Get up."

The two of them were about to get up, and they saw the men and women around them showing happy and friendly smiles. An older nun in the lead smiled and said: "Junior brother and sister, I am the master's first disciple and your senior sister. My name is Jingxuan." , the twelve nuns from my Emei sect are all your senior sisters."

The current common names are Jingxuan, Jingxu, Jingjia, Jingzhao, Jingci, Jingmind, Jingxin, Jingyi, Jingming, Jingqing, among which Jingkong and Jinghui are the third and fourth senior sisters respectively. Now he is still the abbot of Baiyi Temple in Jiading Prefecture.

Then a group of lay disciples came to get to know each other. Many of the female nuns were older than Master Miejie, while the lay disciples were all much younger. The eldest senior sister Su Qingmeng was only in her early twenties. Counting Jin Mingjun and others, there were more than ten people.

As for the male disciples, most of them are registered disciples. Currently, only Ye Guhong is actually listed on the door wall.

During this trip, Miejie was away from Emei for more than half a year. He had accumulated a lot of affairs in the sect, and he also had to teach martial arts to his disciples. As you can imagine, he was very busy, so he asked the senior sister Jingxuan to arrange accommodation and living for a few people.

Jingxuan was a down-to-earth and honest man. Seeing that Ye Guhong was young, he was afraid that he would be homesick, so he specially arranged him in a house closest to Miejie.

As for Hu Xiaoyang, Jin Mingjun rushed to make arrangements to live next to her own residence.

From that day on, Ye Guhong began to concentrate on training. Although Master Miejie was busy, she still spared at least half a day every day to teach him martial arts.

Hu Xiaoyang came with a piece of teaching at the beginning, but within a few days he couldn't keep up with the progress, so he asked Su Qingmeng to teach various introductory skills on his behalf.

As for Fang Wen and Fang Wu, after learning it for two or three days, he started complaining endlessly. He got into a fight with a group of male disciples of the Emei Sect and rarely appeared in front of Miejie.

Ye Guhong has worshiped Mie Jie as his teacher and has been traveling back and forth for several months. He has never been as dedicated to learning martial arts as he is now. For twelve hours a day, apart from eating, sleeping, and occasionally being invited to play by Jin Mingjun and Wei Jinyi, he spends most of the time They are all practicing martial arts, and their martial arts skills are also improving by leaps and bounds.

More than half a year passed like this, and it was already August. Fortunately, it was cool in the mountains and not affected by the heat. I was practicing the jade flute sword technique that day when I suddenly saw more than ten senior brothers and sisters rushing past. Among them, there was Fang Fang. When Wen and Fang Wu saw him, they immediately shouted: "Junior Brother Ye, what kind of kung fu are you practicing at this moment? Come on, come on, follow me to see the excitement - people from the Wudang Clan are coming to our Emei!"

Ye Guhong's heart moved, he sheathed his sword, nodded and said: "Let's go together! Senior brothers and sisters, wait for me!"
