Zhuo Tengyi flicked his sleeves, and a ray of white light suddenly came out and shot straight ahead. Zhao Ran felt that the scene in front of him seemed to be shaking. When he looked at it again, the ravine was still a ravine, and the woods and rocks remained unchanged. It seemed that everything had changed. Nothing has changed. But Zhao Ran had opened his eyes, and he could clearly see that the flow of Qi in the world in front of him was not real, as if someone had deliberately covered it with a thin curtain.
This is an extremely clever deception, no, it is an extremely clever illusory formation, even Zhao Ran's eyesight cannot see through it. Just when he was about to sort out and distinguish them carefully, Zhuo Tengyi had already grabbed his sleeve, pulled him and walked forward.
Taking one step forward, he suddenly stepped into the dark night; with the second step, his eyes lit up, and he felt like he was inside the thick clouds; with the third step, Zhao Ran finally entered a brand new world.
It is like Daiqing Mountain in the distance, and the high -cliff waterfalls are nearby. The slowly undulating hills are lush and lush. The waterfall falls down and becomes a gurgling stream, which circles around the hills. On both sides, there are pavilions, flower corridors, water pavilions, rockeries and strange rocks This is a picturesque world.
Zhao Ran stared blankly at everything in front of him, and his heart was filled with excitement. This is the blessed land of cave heaven. This is the place where practitioners live and practice. Compared with the world outside, it is so different!
After waiting for Zhao Ran to watch for a long time, the two master uncles of the Zhuo family slapped their mounts, and the two horses galloped into the woods next to them, roaring happily. The old donkey rubbed Zhao Ran's neck. Zhao Ran knew what he was thinking and said with a smile: "You can go too. I will call you when I go out." So the old donkey happily rushed into the forest to find the two masters of the Zhuo family. Uncle's mount has gone.
Zhuo Tengyun said to Zhuo Tengyi: "Take your time, I'll report back first." After saying that, he walked away quickly, passing through a pavilion in an instant, and his figure was hidden behind the flowing water of a small bridge.
Zhuo Tengyi led Zhao Ran forward slowly, crossing bridges, corridors, and ponds. As he walked, he introduced: "This is the Wenxiang Pond, next to it is the Baihua Slope, and the fragrance of flowers is constant This is the White Crane Pavilion, and these white cranes are in the pond. He is the apprentice of Master Uncle Danhe"
With that said, the two came to a wide square. Directly opposite a magnificent palace was written "Sanqing Palace", with "Tianshi Palace" on the left and "Huode Xingjun Palace" on the right. , and in the northeast and northwest are the Bell Tower and Drum Tower.
On the way there, no one was seen, but when they arrived, they met several Taoist priests in plain robes, old and young, each holding boxes and bamboo baskets. When these Taoist priests saw Zhuo Tengyi, they bowed their heads and said, "I have seen Zhuo Tengyi." Yellow crown.¡±
Zhuo Tengyi nodded and said, "This is Zhao Zhiran. He has become a Taoist priest by becoming a disciple of Senior Brother Jiang. He is here for the first time today. He is here to consecrate the burial mound. You guys should meet him too."
Those Taoist priests turned to Zhao Ran and said, "I have seen Taoist Zhao."
Zhao Ran didn¡¯t know what to call him, so he could only return the courtesy: ¡°Several of you have mercy.¡±
The elder among the several Taoist priests reported: "Zhuo Huangguan, Elder Yan has already asked Taoist Zhao to wait here. The elders will immediately give Taoist Zhao an entombment. We will go in and arrange it." , I will not accompany you anymore, please forgive me Zhuo Huangguan and Taoist Zhao."
Zhuo Tengyi nodded, and Zhao Ran said politely, "Thank you."
Several Taoist priests filed into Sanqing Hall with their things in their arms, leaving only Zhao Ran and Zhuo Tengyi waiting at the foot of the stairs. Zhao Ran asked: "Are those senior brothers just nowor are they uncles?"
Zhuo Tengyi smiled and said: "He is a layman from Huayun Pavilion, not a practitioner, but he has also received an ultimatum."
Zhao Ran was curious: "Can a secular person enter the Huayun Pavilion?"
Zhuo Tengyi said: "There are fire masters in the jungles of the ten directions, and they are also indispensable in the pavilions. There are many obstacles along the way to practice, and there is absolutely no time and energy to spend on daily trivial matters. If you don't reach the realm, you still have to eat, drink, and drink." Sa, these things will be done by lay people. Some of these lay people are orphans picked up by monks, and some are relatives left by their predecessors. Unfortunately, they all have no talent for cultivation. Those who are willing to go out will be given a fortune, and those who are unwilling to go out will be given a fortune. Yes, you can stay and do some daily living You can be commensurate with their senior brothers, but they will address you by your title. This is a habit left over for hundreds of years. It is not that our generation of monks look down on them. We, too, never Don't look down on them, but treat them kindly. After all, maybe their ancestors have made great contributions to the Taoist sect, and maybe one day, your descendants will be one of them."
As he was talking, people were seen arriving at the Sanqing Hall one after another. Some were standing on the field in front of the hall, standing in a row on the left and right, and some were stepping into the Sanqing Hall. Zhuo Tengyi quickly pointed out that Zhao Ran was wearing a Taoist robe.
Suddenly hearing the bells and drums ringing in the Bell Tower and Drum Tower, Zhuo Tengyun came out of the Sanqing Hall and shouted: "Please invite the Junshan Temple to congratulate Zhao Zhiran and enter the Sanqing Hall to confer the enshrinement!"
Zhao Ran quickly stepped up the stone steps to the nine-level square, passed through the Taoist priests lined up in front of the hall, and entered the Sanqing Hall.He stood on the futon outside the threshold and bowed. After crossing the threshold and entering, he kowtowed profusely, offered incense and eulogized under the seat of the Sanqing Taoist ancestor.
At this time, Zhao Ran had the opportunity to look around the hall, and saw five high-crested Taoist priests wearing apricot-yellow robes standing on the northeast side of the Sanqing Statue. The youngest ones looked to be over forty or fifty, but Zhao Ran knew that the monks¡¯ faces were very different. There are countless people who look like they are in their thirties, but they may have passed their seventies.
On the east side of the chamber, there are about ten people standing, all wearing geqing Taoist robes. Dazhuo and Xiaozhuo were among them, and Zhao Ran also saw Zhu Zhimeng, who was standing in the twelfth position and looking at him with a strange expression.
Zhao Ran secretly smiled at Zhu Zhimeng, secretly Brother Dao would also come in one day!
There were only three people in the west wing. The first one was about thirty years old and had a calm face. He was smiling and nodding to himself. The remaining two looked not much older than Zhao Ran, and they were also looking at Zhao Ran curiously. .
Then I heard an apricot-yellow-robed Taoist cough and said: "Zhao Zhiran, please pay homage to the master first, and follow Jiang Tenghe's disciples to accept the disciples on your behalf."
I saw the Taoist priest headed from the west came to Sanqing's seat. He smiled at Zhao Ran and said, "Master cannot come out to see you in seclusion, so I am specially asked to accept disciples on my behalf. I am Wei Zhizhen, you can call me senior brother." "
Zhao Ran was a little disappointed, thinking: Does this cheap master really don¡¯t want to see me, and he doesn¡¯t even want to show his face? I was disappointed, but I couldn't be rude. I quickly took out the apprenticeship note I had written long ago, chanted it on the spot, and then presented it to Wei Zhizhen.
Wei Zhizhen accepted Zhao Ran's apprenticeship letter and talked about the precepts of Jiang Tenghe's family, which was nothing more than not to do evil. After saying that, Zhao Ran quickly offered incense. Wei Zhizhen inserted it into the incense burner. Zhao Ran took out a gift and presented it to Wei Zhizhen. Zhenya collected it on his behalf.
Zhao Ran originally prepared a good medicinal herb that ranked high in the "Zhilan Spiritual Medicine Manual", but since Jiang Tenghe didn't even show his face, he naturally spared the treasure and only took out the ginseng that was less than a century old - in fact, it was Very good.
"Zhao Ran performed the apprenticeship ceremony of a registered disciple. There were no other rituals such as asking for hexagrams, making a petition, giving the name of the Dharma, drinking water to convey salvation, or awarding scriptures and magical instruments. It was quite simple and efficient. Wei Zhizhen returned a gift on behalf of his master - Zhao Ran felt that it was probably something given by the senior brother himself, and the ceremony was over.
The gift Wei Zhizhen returned was a talisman. Zhao Ran had seen it in the book "Zhengyi Talisman". It was a fourth-level spiritual talisman with the name "Golden Earth Flame Circle". It was a defensive talisman for body protection. The fourth-level talisman should be considered quite valuable and can only be refined by monks above the mage. After receiving this gift, Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel a little ashamed for his petty behavior just now. At the same time, he looked at Wei Zhizhen very doubtfully. If this talisman was made by Senior Brother Wei, wouldn't this Senior Brother have already entered the mage realm?
After the apprenticeship ceremony was over, Zhao Ran was considered to be a disciple of Grand Master Jiang Tenghe, but he was not a formal disciple, just a registered disciple.
Wei Zhizhen introduced the two young Taoist priests standing next to Zhao Ran, one named Yu Zhichuan and the other named Luo Zhiqing. Zhao Ran called out "Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother".
The three formal disciples under Jiang Tenghe's sect are arranged in order, but Zhao Ran is not, so Wei Zhizhen and others call him "Junior Brother Zhao" instead of "Fourth Junior Brother". If Jiang Tenghe accepts more formal disciples in the future, the new disciples will be called "Junior Brother Zhao". Zhao Ran is "Senior Brother Zhao", and Zhao Ran can call the other person "Fourth Junior Brother".
After the apprenticeship ceremony is completed, Zhao Ran will be regarded as a member of Huayun Pavilion, and he can be assigned the official post. So everyone left the Sanqing Hall and entered the "Huode Xingjun Hall" on the east side of the square.
