Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 138 Named Xu Dongxian

When Huang Donglai returned to his room, Miao Yinzi was already sitting in the room.

"Eh? Master, why are you here?" Huang Donglai pushed the door open, and when he saw the other party, he didn't make any big salutes, but just asked such a casual question.

Miao Yinzi didn't mind this either, as he once said, their Xuan Qi Sect didn't pay much attention to red tape: "I have something to do with you."

"Oh." Huang Donglai nodded, and closed the door, "Do you want me to boil some water and make a pot of tea for you?"

"No need." Miao Yinzi pointed to the teapot on the table, "I've already brewed it myself just now, just pour it for me."

Huang Donglai was taken aback when he heard the words: "Huh? The tea is ready? How long have you been here?"

Miao Yinzi pouted: "When I stepped into the front yard before, I just saw you coming out of the house, but you didn't see me." He paused, "I was about to call you, but I saw you. You hurried to the direction of the latrine...so let it go."

That's all he said, and he didn't go on.

Anyway, Huang Donglai already understood what he meant - as long as you have been squatting in the toilet, I have been here.

"Haha, that's it." Huang Donglai smiled contemptuously, poured a cup of tea for Master, and poured a cup for himself by the way, sat down beside Master, and quickly changed the topic, "I don't know why Master came to see me. What's the matter?"

"Two things." As Miao Yinzi said, he took out a book from his pocket and put it on the table, "First, your foundation of 'Wu Qi Gong' is almost done, you can start I learned something new, so today, as a teacher, I went to the library and randomly picked a secret book for you to learn."

As soon as Huang Donglai heard this, he felt that this was not human, and he immediately asked suspiciously: "Master, what if this 'randomly' selected secret book is some kind of extremely advanced exercises that I can't practice with my cultivation level?" ?”

Unexpectedly, Miao Yinzi immediately looked at Huang Donglai with a mentally handicapped look, and asked: "When I pick it out and hold it in my hand, it's not too much to look at the title of the book, right?"

Huang Donglai shook his head: "Not too much."

Miao Yinzi said again: "Then when I saw the title of the book, did I know if you can practice this book?"

Huang Donglai nodded: "Yes."

Miao Yinzi said again: "Then if I find that you can't practice the secret book in my hand, I put it back and start a new one, won't it be over?"

At this time, Huang Donglai became embarrassed: "Uh..."

Miao Yinzi also shook his head at this time, drank tea: "Let me say yes first, if you go down the mountain in the future, don't go around telling people that you are my apprentice."

Huang Donglai also took a sip of tea, the corners of his mouth twitched and he replied, "Okay..."

After a brief silence, Huang Donglai reached out to pick up the secret book on the table, as if to ease the tense atmosphere, but saw three large characters written on the cover - Twelve Noble Truths.

"Eh? Master, from the name of this book... it looks like a scripture for preaching, not a secret book." Huang Donglai is also somewhat educated, and knows the general meaning of the word "di", so he asked this question.

"Hey~ Daoshu Daoshu, there is art in the Tao, and there is the Tao in the art... This is interlinked, just like the relationship between internal strength and moves in martial arts." Miao Yinzi said, "In short, you just learn it, and you understand it from it. The deeper the 'Tao' you get, the more 'skills' you will naturally have, and the mystery of this can only be understood, not expressed in words..."

What he said was like saying nothing.

However, Huang Donglai didn't delve into it, because he also knew that there was no bottom line for this kind of unreasonable topic, anyway, if there is something to learn, just learn.

"Okay, then Donglai thanked Master." Huang Donglai continued.

"There is nothing to be thankful for. I should teach you something." Miao Yinzi said, "Also, if you don't understand anything in the process of learning the 'Twelve Noble Truths', don't ask Me, because I haven’t read this book.”

"Ah?" Huang Donglai was startled, "Master, can't you teach me something that you can do yourself?"

"What do you mean 'will'?" Miao Yinzi replied with a look of disgust, "I haven't read this book, does it mean that I don't know the things recorded in this book? No, won’t I be able to do what I can do after learning the above things?” He paused, and took another sip of tea, “There are thousands of ways of Taoism, and different paths lead to the same goal, do you understand? There are countless Taoist books in this world. The scriptures are like countless roads to climb a mountain. No matter which one you take, you can reach the top of the mountain. If you are destined, I will give you another book that I have learned, maybe it will delay you instead."

"Okay, okay, what you said is right... I just want to learn this." Huang Donglai is an apprentice after all. In the field of Taoism, he naturally said that this is the Miaoyinzi that has been practiced for more than 100 years. No matter how people say it, he cannot refute it. , he could only change the subject again, "By the way, Master, you said you wanted me for two things, and what is the second thing?"

At this moment, Miao Yinzi put down the teacup in his hand: "Well..." He adjusted his tone and expression, and became a little more serious, "Donglai, you have been up the mountain for a while, and you have already practiced the basic exercises well. Looks good, according to the rules of our sect, it is almost time to give you a Taoist name as an official disciple; after you have a Taoist name, you can be considered as a naturalized member of my Mysterious Wonder Sect. There will be one of you."

To make a digression here, the Taoist titles given by Xuan Qizong are usually given after the disciples have practiced the first level of "Wu Qi Gong", because before that, strictly speaking, this person has not yet stepped forward. What about the threshold for cultivating Taoism - only when you have mastered the most basic Qi training method in a school, can you be regarded as a "monk" and have a "Tao name".

This point is the same for other sects of Taoism, except that other sects also have their own basic exercises, and the difficulty of those exercises may not be the same as "Wuqigong".

At that time, Bai Ruhong didn't have a "Taoist name", and "Yindao" was just his name in the world; although he spent decades later practicing Wuqi skills, but because he was only a "registered disciple", in the end If you can't enter the genealogy table of the sect, you won't be given a Taoist name.

"Oh?" At this moment, Huang Donglai was very happy to hear that he could also have a Daoist title, and thought that I had "become a regular with excellent performance during the probationary period", "That's good, master, what title are you going to give me?" what?"

Unexpectedly, the next second, Miao Yinzi asked in reverse: "Do you have any thoughts?"

"Me?" Huang Donglai was taken aback for a moment, "Can I also give my opinion on this matter?"

"Alas..." Miao Yinzi actually sighed at this moment, "Actually, our school doesn't have any restrictions on the matter of obtaining a Taoist name. It all depends on the master's thoughts at the time. If you are lucky, If you meet a fastidious person who will give you a serious name, you are unlucky... just like me and my senior brother, and you meet a very casual master..."

"Ah?" Huang Donglai didn't understand, "Master, is there something wrong with your Taoist name? It sounds okay to me?"

"Oh, you don't understand..." Miao Yinzi replied earnestly, "I don't want to tell you either, so don't ask in the future."

Seeing that the other party had said everything to death, Huang Donglai stopped talking and just took a sip of tea silently.

After a breath, Miao Yinzi picked up the topic again: "In short, I don't want to follow in my master's footsteps and make you blame me in the future, so I ask your own thoughts first."

"Oh..." Huang Donglai seemed to understand, and he read, "Then you say 'Tongtianzi', 'Wujizi', 'Baiyunzi', etc., am I suitable?"

"It's vulgar." Miao Yinzi's evaluation was concise and to the point, "And I have the impression that there are already comrades in Mount Emei and Mount Qingcheng who use these names."

Huang Donglai frowned slightly when he heard the words: "Hiss...then what should I call 'Zi'?"

"You don't have to be called 'Zi', who told you that the Dao name must be something?" Miao Yinzi said.

"Really?" Huang Donglai is really not clear about this part of knowledge, "What else can it be called?"

"You can be called a Taoist, a Sanren, or a gentleman." Miao Yinzi replied, "You can also be called a half-immortal if you like."

"Is that so..." Huang Donglai immediately asked again, "Then why... there seems to be a lot of things on our mountain?"

"The person who named it is lazy~" Miao Yinzi said, "If I'm a little lazy today and just give you a 'Donglaizi', then I'm still here to continue arguing with you?"

"Yes, yes... Master, you still love people." Huang Donglai hurriedly flattered the other party, fearing that the other party would lose patience, he suddenly said "Let's just do it" before turning his head and leaving.

After finishing speaking, Huang Donglai thought about it again, and then said with a half-joking attitude: "Heh... Master, what do you think of the name 'Xudong Old Immortal'?"

"Demon Dao?" Miao Yinzi reacted very quickly, and blurted out, "Devil?" He didn't know whether it was a question or a statement, "This name is fine, it sounds like someone who is going to set up his own family and go out to cheat. way."

"No, no, Donglai dare not..." Huang Donglai quickly denied.

However, just as he was about to say the second half of "I'm just kidding"...

"Why don't you dare?" Miao Yinzi rushed forward, "What's wrong with setting up your own family? Mysterious Qi Sect has never stopped disciples from going out to set up their own family, nor has it restricted disciples from going down the mountain to enter the world to practice; you have seen it since you went up the mountain. My brothers and uncles, including Master and me... one of them is counted as one, and they all want to stay on the mountain by themselves."

"Huh?" Huang Donglai said, "Is this all right?"

After he said this sentence, he thought about it again, and found that it seemed to be nonsense.

Based on what he knew so far about the Taoist priests of Xuan Qi Sect, they would find it troublesome even to hold a position in their own sect. How could they get involved in more troublesome things like "establishing their own sect"?As for entering the world and practicing... the mountain is so comfortable, and these slackers are "indisputable" in everything, so it is even more impossible to go there.

"There's nothing wrong with it. You want to be called 'Old Immortal Xudong', right? Good! Then it's decided." Miao Yinzi continued, "From now on your Taoist name will be called Old Immortal Xudong. You can call me that." Master, I will call you Laoxian, let's get to work."

After all, he stood up and was about to leave.

"Hey! Master, I just said that casually." Huang Donglai was in a hurry, "Don't go, let's discuss it again."

"No need." Miao Yinzi waved his hand, "This name is interesting, I like it quite a bit, I'll just tell my senior brother to let him naturalize you, that's all."

Having said that, he has already stepped out the door.

How could Huang Donglai stop Miao Yinzi? He chased after a few steps to the door, but the latter had disappeared.

Only Huang Donglai was left standing in front of the door, staring blankly at the empty yard.

After standing stupidly for a while, Huang Donglai suddenly raised his hand, slapped himself several times, and said while slapping: "Old Immortal, Old Immortal, Old Immortal... I am really a bitch!"

Of course, he didn't really use much force, just took a few symbolic shots.

When he thinks that in the future, everyone on this mountain will call him an "old fairy" when he sees him, and he feels a pain in the ass. If you change the name, it will be "reluctantly", not "natural", and "the taste is wrong".

Therefore, he could only recognize the Dao name that he put forward as a joke, close the door and go back to the house, slowly comprehending the "Twelve Noble Truths".
