Chapter 2 Devoted to the Tao, attached to someone's son (1)
If you don't seek the great way to get out of the way, you will be a husband if you lose the talents.

For a hundred years, the stone fire flickers, and the life experience of a lifetime bubbles and floats.

—— "Enlightenment Chapter"

"I implore the head of the fairy to include the kid and temporarily list the door wall!"

"Your Excellency is not destined to be in the world, and has no destiny to be immortal. Please go back!"

"Woooooooo..."

"Master, please accept me as an apprentice!"

"Poverty has nothing to do with you."

"Ugh……"

"Daozhang, how about accepting me as an apprentice?"

"The quota is full."

"Oh."

"Old man, be my master."

"No. When you go to the grocery store to peek at the boss's daughter later, help me see if the sandalwood I ordered has arrived."

"Okay. But when I see beautiful women, I'm very forgetful..."

"roll!"

The above are the daily conversations between the young Zhang Xingyan and the old Dao Qinghe in the past few years.Zhang Xingyan is a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, with delicate features and black eyes, he looks like a lively and eccentric person.He grew up in a farmer's family since he was a child, and his parents were honest mountain people who lived at the foot of Horseshoe Mountain outside Raozhou City, Poyang Lake.

Compared with other poor children from rural families, the boy Xingyan is nothing special.If you really want to tell the difference, there is one point worth mentioning: Although the Zhang family lived in hardship, his parents still took an opportunity to let him study poetry and books with Mr. Ji from the Ji family private school in Raozhou City.His family was poor and couldn't afford money, so the Zhangs had to squeeze out some rations from their own mouths, and often sent some wild vegetables in season as Mr. Ji's bundle repair.

Xingyan said that the name was chosen by Ji's private school, Ji's old scholar.Before, there was no such person in the world, only the Zhang family dog.When Goudaner was seven years old, his father, Lao Zhangtou, happened to be working part-time at the house of Mrs. Ji, a big surnamed family in Raozhou City.In the winter of that year, Mr. Ji visited the old man's house, and while walking in the small garden in the backyard, he accidentally fell down because the road was slippery when the stone floor was sprinkled with water and icy.This small garden is rarely visited by people, not to mention the cold winter months, if the old Zhangtou happened to pass by there to help him up, this frail Mr. Ji would suffer a lot!

And Mr. Ji is kind and compassionate. Yu Lao Zhangtou was rescued from the fall, which immediately changed the life of the dog of the Zhang family!From then on, he was not only accepted by Mr. Ji into a private school that only the children of Ji's family could study, but also got a big name from Mr. Ji: Zhang Xingyan.

Although it seems that the private school of the famous family hurts the gentleness of such a poor family, but anyway, Mr. Ji is a highly respected elder in the Ji family. With his reputation for intelligence, no one dares to question his behavior.

However, at that time, even the old gentleman himself did not expect that the matter of accepting Xingyan as his disciple turned out to be an adventure for him, which made many famous scholars envy!Since Zhang Xingyan's fame spread all over the world and his reputation shook the world, Mr. Ji just praised his understanding of Zhang Xingyan when he met everyone.Even when he was old and the symptoms of forgetfulness were getting worse, he still remembered every anecdote about this proud disciple very clearly!
What's more, Mr. Ji later changed the name of the watch, which was rarely changed by people at the time, from the original "Mingchang" to "Mingyan"; since then, he will be anxious to anyone who calls him Ji Mingchang again!
Besides, the young man wakes up and says that although he has entered a private school and can study, he is a child of a poor family after all, and he cannot be like his classmates from a rich family who hang out in the school room all day long, or do nothing while fighting cocks and dogs.He would also take advantage of the opportunity of taking private lessons in Raozhou City to sell local products such as melons, fruits, pheasants and rabbits for his family; at noon and evening, he would also go to the Daoxianglou restaurant in Nanshikou as an assistant. Waiting in the hall, earning some pocket money for myself for nothing worth two pennies, for the expenses of stationery such as pens, inks, papers and inkstones used in private lessons.

As for the fairy head, master, Taoist head, and old man who changed their names four times in the opening statement, they are the "Shangqing Palace" of the Taoist sect on Luofu Mountain in Xunzhou, which is now well-known all over the world. A Taoist priest who is a specialty of the lake, the Taoist name is "Qinghe".

Taoist priest Qinghe is not young anymore, and he was born with a skinny appearance.Because of not combing often, his few sparse beards are growing day by day, and after a long period of time, they have become quite large, and when they flutter in the wind, they also have a bit of a fairy-like appearance.

Although Qinghe is old, he still does this job similar to a handyman.According to Xingyan's understanding, it should be that the old Taoist Qinghe was relatively stupid and couldn't do his homework to go to the Qing Palace, so he was sent to run around the city.On this point, although the two of them have been so unremittingly arguing with their teachers every day for several years, they have already become too familiar with each other, but it is like the evil dragon's reverse scale, as long as he wakes up and ridicules the old man, he will explode at the touch of a finger He was furious, so he must ask the boy to explain clearly:
"I, Master Qinghe, came to Raozhou City because of the fact that the master's sect, the Shangqing Palace, pays attention to being worldly, and there is really no more worldly position on Luofu Mountain. Therefore, it was really exhausting to be appointed to this good fate in Raozhou. Fierce competition, overwhelming many outstanding fellow students, and finally won!"

In order for this naughty boy to accept his statement, the old man Qinghe will definitely mention that he was a high-ranking Taoist priest in the Tianyi Cangjing Pavilion of the Shangqing Palace back then, and he only tried to come to Raozhou City later in order to improve his cultivation.

Although, when the old Taoist Qinghe said this, he was always proud, but if the young man was a few years older and the city was a little deeper, he would find that the old man's expression was not so natural at this time.

However, although if you judge people by their appearance, Qinghe will inevitably be classified as an old man, but he has a flexible mind, is well-versed in people and the world, and never sticks to his status as a monk when he does things—to use a seasoned and righteous way of saying, that is his "The way to enter the world"!
No matter whether Qinghe came to this job because of his incompetence in cultivating the Tao, anyway, in Xingyan's eyes, Qinghe's "entering the world" has indeed reached the level of proficiency, so that he often has to calculate himself and let him be a good friend. Handle various odd jobs along the way.

It seems that the world-famous Shangqing Palace is really extraordinary.Isn't this Qinghe old man just a typical example of the Shangqing palace using it according to its aptitude?Therefore, this aggravated the young Zhang Xingyan's yearning and reverence for the Shangqing Palace!It's just: little boy, with high ambition, wants to learn from the gods to climb the sky; he doesn't wake up at three poles in the sun, and he dreams happily every day!
In fact, to Xingyan, the so-called pursuit of immortality and Taoism is at best a high-sounding reason for him to pester the old Taoist apprentice.The real reason for wanting to learn from a teacher is that the boy is now growing up, and his food intake has greatly increased. Rao, the family is backed by mountains and mountains, and the Zhangs have saved and saved, but they still can't afford it.

Moreover, he has no place to stay in Raozhou City, and he has to travel a long way every day to return to his home in the suburbs.Although a pair of legs and feet have been exercised to make them extremely strong, for a young man like Xingyan, after a long time, it is really not an easy task.Therefore, if they can get into the good relationship of the Shangqing Palace in Raozhou, at least they can have a place to stay.It's a pity that although Xingyan is very familiar with the old Taoist Qinghe, and can occasionally become a top player in a good relationship, the old Taoist Qinghe is not the only one in this good relationship.Under him, there are two little Taoist priests, Jingchen and Jingming.These two never had a good look towards him.

These two little Taoist priests are tired of Xingyan's excuses, in fact, they are justifiable.Although the two Taoist priests are of low seniority, it took a lot of hard work to be able to join the Shangqing Palace, a world-renowned high-level Taoist sect.Unexpectedly, they were somehow sent here from afar to do odd jobs. For these devout followers, it was no different from being dispatched from the army.Unfortunately, even that family book is not very easy to write, it's just full of resentment!

Therefore, although Taoism emphasizes innocence and inaction, but with the accumulation of bad luck, it is inevitable that they will not look good towards Xingyan, a secular boy who is taking advantage of it.And after these years of experience in the school and the market, Xingyan is no longer the ignorant boy in the mountains, and he has long been aware of the negative views of these two handyman Taoist priests.

That's why he has a sense of urgency, and he is even more eager to worship Qinghe as his teacher!If you become a member of the Jingzi generation in Shangqing Palace one day earlier, you will be able to eat, live, and drink for free at the good fate one day earlier!
