Yin Fu Daojun

Chapter 85 Apprenticeship
"Master Ye?"

Although Xie Duan had never heard of this name, but seeing the old man's expression and tone, it is not difficult to guess that it may be related to the Yin Fu School.

"To tell you the truth, the junior just got a chance from the Yinfu Sect by chance, so he can barely be regarded as a member of the Yinfu Sect. Except for the ancestor Li Quan, he knows nothing about the rest."

Xie Duan didn't hide anything, and told the truth right now.

At the beginning, from Chen Nan, he only knew about the representatives of the succession of the "Yin Fu Jing" in the past dynasties. There are only a handful of Fu Pai who have friendship.

"So that's it! Brother Ye Dao is the sixth generation head of the Yinfu Sect. Pindao and him are close friends! Since we parted six years ago, I haven't seen him again, and I don't know him. Always good."

After listening to Xie Duan's explanation, the old Taoist suddenly understood and was thoughtful.

When Xie Duan first heard this, he couldn't help but "thump" in his heart.

"Ye Shidao? The sixth generation leader of the Yinfu Sect?"

In this way, isn't it the one I buried at the beginning?

He pondered for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth.

"Immortal Elder, this dear friend of yours should have already emerged! I passed Dayin Mountain the other day, and saw a corpse exposed in the wilderness, so I collected it for burial, and this opportunity was also obtained by chance at that time."

Hearing this, the old Taoist's astonishment was beyond words.

"What? Brother Ye Dao, he..."

The old man froze for a moment, frowning, as if he was thinking about something, but then he shook his head and sighed helplessly.

"Oh! The number of days, the number of days!"

He poured another glass of wine, but poured it on the floor.

"Brother Ye Dao has the Dao in his heart, and he practiced it in the talisman. He has a very high attainment! In the past, the two of us often talked about scriptures and Taoism together, and traveled all over the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas. How uninhibited, I don't want to say goodbye to Dongting, and we will have an eternal farewell!"

Having said that, the old Taoist turned to look at Xie Duan.

"The Yinfu Sect has always been passed down in a single line. When we parted from Brother Ye Dao six years ago, Pindao remembered that he hadn't accepted disciples yet. If that was the case, wouldn't the Yinfu Sect end in six generations? My little friend got his chance, forgive the poor Daoist I would take the liberty to ask, is it the "Yin Talisman Classic"? Or Yin Yang Talisman Money?"

This old man even knows the Yin-Yang Fu Qian, the treasure of the Yinfu Sect. It can be seen that he has a deep relationship with the Yinfu Sect. Xie Duan was also a little surprised.

"Isn't the Immortal also aware of Yin-Yang talisman money?"

Speaking of this, the old Taoist has already guessed it.

"Pindao was lucky enough to see this treasure before, so he naturally knows."

Hearing what he said, Xie Duan paused, and simply recited the formula silently.

"Gossip Jiazi, hidden secrets and ghosts."

With a sound of "buzz", the light flashed, and two talisman coins had appeared in his palm. The old Taoist couldn't help but look at Xie Duan at first glance.

"It really is Yin-Yang talisman money, I didn't expect you to be able to use it with ease!"

He took a closer look, and suddenly smiled.

"Okay! You help him to go to the ground to rest in peace. He gave you such an opportunity, but you also have a heart for the Tao. It is just in the dark, and it has been predetermined! Since this treasure has recognized the little friend as the master, it seems Brother Dao has also chosen you as his successor, and the inheritance of the Yinfu Sect is still alive, so we can congratulate you."

At this moment, the old Taoist looked at Xie Duan with a little more attention.

Xie Duan took the talisman money back to the Sea of ​​Consciousness, watched his expression and listened to his words, unconsciously, an idea quietly emerged in his heart.

The old Taoist and the head of the Yinfu Sect are close friends, and he must be very familiar with the Yinfu Sect. If he practices the Yinfu method by himself, he still cannot understand the true meaning of the scriptures. If he is his teacher, he may be able to understand it.

Moreover, to inherit the Dharma lineage, groping alone is like crossing the river by feeling for the stones. How can one bear such a heavy burden?
Even if the inheritance is barely continued, it probably won't last long.

In addition, the old Taoist has an extraordinary background, and he is also the founder of a school. His Taoism is unfathomable, and it is more than enough to be his own master.

"Immortal Chief, when I was studying the Dharma with Immortal Chief Cuixu, I had the intention of entering the Tao, but Chen Xianchang said that my karma is not complete, and the Dharma lineage I cultivated is different, so he only helped me to embark on the path, but never accepted me. "

"Today, I have to meet the Immortal Elder here, and the Immortal Elder happens to have a relationship with the Yinfu Sect. Isn't it just the predestined relationship that Taoism often talks about? The Dao is hard to find, how can the younger generation continue the Dharma line with their own strength? If the Immortal Elder Don't give up, this junior is willing to follow the elders to practice Taoism, I wonder if it is possible?"

As Xie Duan said, he got up and knelt down on the ground, and bowed to him.

Hearing this, the old Taoist was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, his eyes fell on Xie Duan, and then he stretched out his hand to help him up.

"If you have such thoughts, I believe Brother Ye can rest in peace! But you have inherited the inheritance of the Yinfu Sect. Logically speaking, the Yinfu Sect is your teacher, and Brother Ye Dao is your master. .”

"But now Daoist Ye has become a feather, and he and I are close friends. Naturally, I can't bear to see his lineage decline. It is also fate that you and I meet."

He thought for a while, then simply sighed.

"Forget it! The poor Taoist will sell him a favor. He can accept you and be your teacher on the road of cultivation, preaching and teaching you. But you don't have to call me master, you can call me sir, or you can call me as you are now. kind of name."

The Taoist inheritance has been handed down for thousands of years from ancient times to the present, and it is extremely strict. For example, in the inheritance of teachers, there is a distinction between the teacher and the teacher.

Taoist disciples can worship many teachers, but they can only have one teacher.

The so-called being a teacher for a day and being a father for life, whether it is to pass on the scriptures, or to teach the Dharma, to continue the inheritance of the Dharma lineage of the sect, is all taught by the master orally, or even introduced into the Tao.

There are a lot of things in it. It is not a personal disciple, and it will not be passed on to you easily. The degree of caution can be seen.

If you have a teacher, but privately worship other people as teachers, you will be considered unfilial, and you will be ridiculed by your peers.

Of course, if after worshiping this teacher, you meet other high-level Taoists and think that practicing with other high-level Taoism will have a better future than following this teacher, that's okay.

As long as the teacher agrees, you can worship others as teachers, and this kind of master is called Xueshi, which means a teacher who preaches and teaches.

It is said that the Yellow Emperor in ancient times had 72 teachers.

However, my master is immortal, and there is no way to ask for his consent. Fortunately, since the two are close friends, they would not care about these things if they thought about it.

Seeing that he agreed at this time, Xie Duan was overjoyed at the moment.

"That's it, the disciple bows to the immortal elder."

As Xie Duan said, he wanted to bow down again, but was stopped by the old Taoist.

"Wait! It's not easy to be a disciple of the poor! From now on, you will take over Fu Sheng's work, and when the time is right, you will pay your respects."

The Fusheng mentioned by the old Taoist is the deaf-mute old man who cleaned the courtyard before. He is basically responsible for the chores of the Qingdi Temple, as well as receiving pilgrims who come to worship the gods.

Now that the old Taoist asked him to take over his job, Xie Duan could understand it in his heart. After all, the Taoist sect was extremely cautious in accepting disciples. The two had only known each other for half a month, so it was obviously impossible for him to teach the Dharma immediately.

Clean the yard, carry water and firewood, and maintain your mind.

He seemed to have returned to Xiaogushan again.

"The disciple obeys the teacher's orders!"

Without hesitation, Xie Duan immediately followed the instructions.

Now it's all right, I settled down in the local area, and paid homage to the master smoothly, it was a worthwhile trip.
