The heavens begin from the Daluo Hall

Chapter 28 Apprenticeship
In the early morning, the mountains are majestic and rugged, continuous and majestic, majestic, standing there like the backbone of heaven and earth.

From far away, I felt a sense of oppression.

Wu Ming was amazed, from the naked eye, this Laoshan Mountain is really no worse than Bluestar's Kunlun Mountains, it seems that the area of ​​the big man has expanded, and even the mountain peaks are several times taller and majestic than Bluestar's.

Along the way, the two of them were aimless. They didn't know where the real Laoshan camp was. As they got deeper, Wu Ming wanted to return several times. It would be too bad if they got lost in the deep forest. Almost certain death.

Fortunately, after some persuasion from experienced Wang Heng, Wu Ming calmly walked together.

"Laoshan is also true. Isn't it good to play tricks and point out the way?" Wu Ming was puzzled. He tried his best to remember the way he came so as not to fall into the trap.

"Haha, Laoshan is the resource land of several big counties in the surrounding area. Countless people rely on it to support them. In ancient times, many seekers of immortals hoped to find them, but they returned in vain. If you really do what you say, aren't the Taoist priests of Laoshan annoyed to death? .” Wang Heng laughed loudly.

He continued walking for an unknown amount of time, when Wu Ming habitually recalled the way he came, but suddenly found it blurred, he woke up with a start, anxiously preparing to tell Wang Heng.

Suddenly, a mist spread in front of him, and a Taoist sat on the high cloud and mist, as if he was coming from the clouds and the mist, the surrounding scenery changed instantly, the vegetation was lush, the spiritual energy was abundant, and the fairy spirit was full.

"Meet the Taoist priest." X2
The two looked at each other and hurriedly saluted.

The Taoist priest got up slowly, beat the chief judge, and said politely: "There is no need to be polite, the poor Taoist surname is Qi, you can call me Taoist priest Qi."

How could Wu Ming and the others dare to be arrogant, calling Qi Shi repeatedly.

The Taoist looked at Wu Ming approvingly and said, "Your Taoism is full, and you are born with the seeds of Taoism. It took a lot of effort to cover up your intuition."

"Taoism?" Wu Ming murmured subconsciously in doubt.

"Everything in the world has a Dao nature, and the literary energy, martial arts will, and even the breath of ordinary people are all variants of the Dao nature." Daoist Qi said with a chuckle.

Wu Ming suddenly realized that Taoism is spirituality, just different names in different worlds. It is impossible for him to be low in spirituality after entering Taoism.

"You two will be under my door from now on, come with me." The Taoist said, climbing the mountain with clouds and mist drifting.

The two hurriedly followed, and unexpectedly found that the mountain was not small, at least more than 1000 meters, and there were various abodes, houses, and caves along the way, and there were about a hundred people including various servants.

From time to time, some people wearing Taoist robes on the road greeted Daoist Qi and called them "teachers". Besides young people, there were also middle-aged people among them.

"There are so many monastic apprentices, even middle-aged people, are they all so curvy?" Wu Ming muttered.

The Piao Miao Taoist in front seemed to have heard it, and without turning his head, he said indifferently: "These Taoist disciples have been accumulated in the past ten years, there are about a dozen of them, and many disciples have survived from being crowned to their thirties, and they have never been rewarded. Dao, we can see how difficult the Dao is.”

Wu Ming heard the hint of admonition in Daoist Qi's words, and clasped his hands solemnly and said: "The disciple has been taught, and he must climb the road with perseverance."

Wang Heng, who had no sense of presence at the beginning of the meeting, also said, "Boping is the same."

Hearing this, Daoist Qi, who was riding the wind and walking in front, shook his head. He turned around and said seriously to Wu Ming: "I don't mean that. Your talent is very good. You are born with witch blood, and your cultivation is like a smooth rise. It is unstoppable."

"I'm talking about him." Daoist Qi turned his head and said unceremoniously to Wang Heng who was on the side: "Your talent is too bad. You have wasted years of cultivating the Tao. You might as well go back. Maybe you can achieve a great career."

"Ah!" Wu Ming was stunned.

Wang Heng looked innocent, feeling inexplicably insulted.

"When you came up with the idea of ​​worshiping Laoshan, I sent Lingbao [Taiyi Town Jiezhu] to know all the information about you. No matter in terms of talent, ability, or luck, you are far inferior to Wu Ming. .” Daoist Qi said lightly.

"I..." Wang Heng opened his mouth, gritted his teeth and said, "I want to try."

Daoist Qi said as usual: "Okay, since you have passed the test, no matter what, I will accept you and teach you the Tao."

"Thank you teacher." The two bowed and bowed respectfully.

"You don't need to thank me, just take what you need." Daoist Qi wrote lightly.

Hearing this, Wu Ming and Wang Heng seemed to have realized something, and hurriedly took out the Wenqu Talisman and Taiyin Talisman respectively from their bosoms, offered them with both hands, and respectfully said: "Teacher, this is our Shu Xiu."

Daoist Qi is a gray-haired, middle-aged and elderly man with a fairy-like demeanor, but at this moment his image is a bit damaged. He murmured happily: "They are all talisman seeds. I didn't expect the old man to be so lucky."

Then the Taoist waved his hand unceremoniously, and put the Taiyin Talisman into his sleeve. Wang Heng felt lost. With this Taiyin Talisman, he could exert the power of an innate martial artist, but now he lost his support.

Then Daoist Qi looked at Wu Ming and said with a smile: "According to the system of the Great Han, the Daoist sect must not refuse to accommodate Confucian disciples or noble lords in any form. Have you figured it out?"

Wu Ming was stunned. His official status had brought him many conveniences. He never thought that he would receive preferential treatment even after cultivating Taoism. Wang Heng was treated so differently that his face turned green.

Of course, he also understands that this is equivalent to the Dahan cultivating his own talents with the help of folk Taoism. Once he chooses this way, he will decide to stay close to the official, and it is very likely that he will not be able to get in touch with the core Taoism.

Seeing that Wu Ming was hesitating, Daoist Qi smiled and added: "And as far as I know, your teacher Chen Ping, who returned to the court this time, has already been worshiped as one of the nine ministers, a giant of seven thousand stones, and Laoshan will see it even if he doesn't look at the monk's face." Buddha face, I won't treat you badly."

Wu Ming suddenly thought of this sentence, but he was more determined to stay in Laoshan.

How can mere things outside of the body reach the Dao, Wu Ming decided to present a Wenqu talisman and said: "Dare to ask if the elder can teach the Dao."

Daoist Qi looked at the young man appreciatively, and laughed loudly: "Not bad, not bad, you can only gain if you give up, and you have a firm heart."

Wu Ming bowed his head, he had already joined the Laoshan School, if he turned around again, he would be suspected of being a rat at both ends, hesitating and hesitating would only miss the opportunity, since he had already decided, he would go all the way to death.

Afterwards, Daoist Qi summoned an honest and honest middle-aged Taoist, pointed at the two and said, "Guo Su, arrange board and lodging and general affairs for them."

After saying that, he set up a cloud and flew away with his sleeves fluttering.

Seeing this, Wu Ming and Wang Heng looked at each other in blank dismay, why did they leave it alone before teaching them?
The middle-aged man who was wearing a brocade Taoist robe smiled and said to the two: "You two juniors, don't be offended, you don't need to trouble Master Qi for some trivial matters, please come with me."

Wu Ming and the others had no choice but to greet each other with the middle-aged Taoists and then followed them. Guo Su introduced him familiarly along the way:

"Every Taoist priest in Laoshan who has reached the state of Yin and God can be called a Taoist priest who belongs to the Laoshan School. He can walk on behalf of Laoshan outside, and enter the Taoist system inside. He can occupy a mountain alone, accept disciples and teach Taoism, which is considered an official establishment. , in layman's terms it means 'inner disciple', everything else is Taoist."

Wu Ming understands that he can only be regarded as an 'outer disciple' now, with no establishment and no guarantee, and the relationship with his teacher is similar to that of a tutor and a graduate student at Blue Star University. The teaching of Taoism depends on the immortal leader, and the two have obligations and rights to each other .

In fact, Taoist priests who conferred the scriptures were also very happy to accept disciples. What they paid was only a little bit of tongue-in-cheek, and even the exercises, board and lodging were provided by the sect, but they could get a labor force and precious talisman seeds for free.

After walking for a while, I finally arrived at the accommodation area. A mountain was sparsely populated, and the ascetics were highly productive. Each abode was almost equivalent to a mountain villa, equipped with a set of bedding, two sets of changing robes, and some odds and ends. Broken furniture.

"At that time, you can bring up all the luggage stored in the Sun and Moon Pavilion at the foot of the mountain, and someone will take care of the horses." Guo Su instructed the two of them to arrange for each other.

Then he called two more servants and explained to Wu Ming Wang Heng: "Every Taoist boy has to do common chores. As for what kind of work to arrange, Master Qi decides. Don't think it's unfair, or that the old man is against you."

Wu Ming and the two nodded quickly, expressing their understanding.

The new disciples of the Laoshan School have to do general work for a period of time, which is not only to polish their minds, but also to cultivate their "Taoism". Only when they are born with Taoism can they practice Taoism, otherwise there will be no effect.

"Cough~." Guo Su coughed a few times, called Wang Heng first, and said solemnly: "Master Qi said that you have a bold and unrestrained temperament, and are strong and strong. You are a master of martial arts, so I arranged for you to chop firewood and polish your muscles. Bone], I hope you can reach the realm of the warrior as soon as possible."

"Ah?!" Wang Heng was puzzled. He was usually the son of a rich family in the Wang family, but here he is also a Taoist who is higher than ordinary people. Isn't the low-level work like chopping firewood an insult to others?
"I told you in advance, this is arranged by Master Qi." Guo Su said quickly with vigilance, it seems that he also felt that it was quite inappropriate, so he said the ugly words first, so as not to be angered.

Wu Ming also faintly felt that something was wrong, since he entered Laoshan, he always felt that Wang Heng had been being targeted...

He didn't have time to comfort his friend, Guo Su called his name.

"Wu Ming, Master Qi asked you to go to Wenyuan Pavilion to sort out books and classics, and to register some personnel changes."

"Okay, that's all for your arrangements. As for the teaching of Taoism, wait for Master Qi to notify you in person." After Guo Su finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave in a hurry.

Wu Ming quickly grabbed his sleeve, and secretly stuffed a bottle of elixir into Guo Su's sleeve.
