Our cultivator in the village

Chapter 21
Return to Yunfeng, return to the front of Yundian.

The so-called "burning incense and damp autumn fog, laying jade at the beginning of dawn".It was late autumn at this moment, and the early morning mist on Guiyun Peak had not dissipated, and the platform in front of the hall was wet with dew.The disciples were running back and forth, offering incense, sweeping, and chanting sutras, each had its own busy schedule.

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning just entered the solemn Guiyun Hall, Weijiang's apprenticeship ceremony began.

I saw a group of disciples lined up, there were more than twenty people.Elder Guiyun led Wei Jiang with a solemn expression, offering incense and a table to a portrait in the hall, and then kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.

The disciple in charge of etiquette said, this portrait is the founding father of Guiyi sect, so is Miaoshu real person. 800 years ago, Master Miaoshu possessed the ability to open up the world, swept the cultivation world with a Guiyi whisk in his hand, and founded the Guiyimen at the age of 120, which is a legendary legend in the cultivation world.

Seeing that the real Miaoshu in the portrait had a slightly rounded face, arched eyebrows, and a very kind expression, and his description was somewhat similar to himself, Wei Jiang knelt down and kowtowed twice, muttering, not knowing what to say.

According to the Taoist rules, kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to the patriarch.Wei Jiang kowtowed two more heads after the trip.It is not surprising that many people are polite, and Taoist Gao Gong, who presides over the fasting ceremony in Guiyimen, can't say much. The Taoist immediately shouted "Ascension", Elder Guiyun flicked his sleeves and sat next to the portrait On a red rosewood armchair with bamboo knots, there is also a wheat straw futon wrapped in Beijing embroidered silk.

Wei Jiang was also unambiguous, he knelt down twice and kowtowed six times to Elder Guiyun, kowtowing loudly, it was regarded as having performed the ceremony of apprenticeship.

According to Gui Yimen's practice, Elder Gui Yun took out three items.A belt, a whisk, and a sword are gifts from the master.

The belt is "Three feet of red silk locks the mind and the mind", which implies that the disciples should abide by the teacher's training on the way out, keep the right way in their hearts, and don't violate the mind and mind; Once you are in love with common things, you should leave the dust with a flick of your hand, and you will not be burdened; the sword is "three-foot sword, cut off the fate of the world", once you are in love with common things, it is difficult to let go, you should think of the three-foot sword given by the master The sword should be decisive and cut off the fate of the world.

The three ordinary items all contained true meaning, but Wei Jiang didn't understand them all. After taking them, he tied them with a belt, and inserted the other two items into his waist, making him look like a Laoshan Taoist priest.

Elder Guiyun raised his hands, indicating that Weijiang can get up, and the master is about to start lecturing.

Wei Jiang was puzzled, he had just received three gifts from his master, he thought it was Elder Gui Yun who asked for the ceremony of worshiping a teacher, and said coyly: "This apprentice is poor, so I didn't prepare any gifts. After a while, this apprentice will go down the mountain Order pig's head, beef, mutton, and melons and fruits, and put them on the table to honor your old man."

Elder Gui Yun was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he scolded: "You scoundrel, you are so ignorant, when the old Taoist dies, you are making such filial piety."

Everyone covered their mouths and laughed. It was supposed to be a solemn and solemn apprenticeship ceremony, but it was disrupted by Wei Jiang, and the atmosphere was completely lost.

Seeing his tired and lazy appearance, Elder Guiyun didn't bother admonishing him anymore, so he said helplessly, "Jingqi, tell your little brother the sect rules and some anecdotes about the cultivation of the Central Plains. He has only been a beginner for a few months, and there are many I don’t know, many young disciples have never heard of this.”

This Jingqi was the first to get started, and he was the first disciple of Gui Yunfeng. Although his cultivation was not top-notch, he was mature and serious, and he was serious and unsmiling. All the disciples feared him more than Elder Gui Yun.

When everyone saw him talking, they held their breaths and didn't hear a sound.

Jing Qi said about the door rules, which are nothing more than the source of Taoism, Taoist scriptures, sitting in the circle and keeping quiet, fasting, etc. in "Ten Rules of Taoism". Although Weijiang has never heard a word, all the disciples have heard it. Overcooked.After talking about this for more than half an hour, Jing Qi talked about the current cultivation sects in the mainland of China.

Jing Qiyan said that in the Great Zhou Kingdom of Zhongzhou, even the Northern Borderlands, the Western Regions, and the East China Sea, there are actually many sects in the realm of cultivation, with a total of more than 20 schools, large and small.In addition to Guiyimen, there are Baiyunzong in Diancang Mountain in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and Yuqing Palace in Qingcheng Mountain; Kunlun Mountain in the Western Region is the ancestral line of Taoism. From east to west, there are three sects of Qinglian Sword Gate, Chang'e Palace and Kunlun School. Together with the Valley of the Medicine King in Miaojiang in the southwest, the Luna Worship Sect in the northern Xinjiang, and the Shinto sect in Dongying overseas, the total is the nine sects of Shenzhou.

Apart from these sects of self-cultivation, there is also the Zhongzhou Pill Hall. The Pill Hall dominates Jingzhou. It is very powerful, but it is a relatively loose organization. As long as the alchemy skills reach a certain level, they can pass the Pill Tower assessment and join the Pill Hall.This alchemy hall holds an alchemy meeting every three years, and the final winner is awarded the title of "Alchemy Supreme", which is respected by fellow practitioners in the cultivation world.Cultivation itself is a job of licking blood on the edge of a knife. If you can make friends with some alchemists and refine a few more furnaces of life-extending pills, it is equivalent to a few more lives.Each sect will send a few cultivators who are good at alchemy to participate in every alchemy meeting, so this alchemy meeting has become a big gathering in the cultivation world, very lively.Elder Tianxin from Guiyimen is good at alchemy, and once entered the final of the alchemy competition, but unfortunately he missed the crown and was ranked among the top three.

Of the nine sects of self-improvement, the Zhongzhou Great Zhou Kingdom ranks third, the Qinglian Sword Gate, the Kunlun School, and the Heng'e Palace, although they are far away in the Kunlun Mountains, are still considered the sphere of influence of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Only the Dongying Shinto Gate is located on a long and narrow island in the northeast of the mainland. It is the state religion of the Rizhao country in Dongying.The Rizhao Kingdom is thousands of miles away from the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the sea is dangerous, so they seldom go to Middle Earth, but the last time Guiyimen Sutra Library was stolen, it was Dongying Shendaomen who did it.

Most of the Nine Cultivation Schools belong to Daoist Cultivation School, but Heng'e Palace belongs to the Buddhist School, and it is a purely female school. There are not no male disciples, but their status is low, and it is difficult to learn profound Buddhist Kungfu.

Many of these explanations were never heard by the disciples.Many disciples thought that the Guiyi sect was hidden deep in the immeasurable mountains, and it was rare for ordinary people to see it, and then they thought that there were only two or three sects in the mighty Shenzhou, but now listening to Master Jing Qi, there are so many stories.Everyone was dazzled when they heard it, and they thought that if one day, they must travel to China to see the customs and customs of various sects.

Elder Gui Yun coughed, and all the disciples stopped discussing.

Elder Gui Yun said: "Today Wei Jiang is visiting a teacher, and Jing Qi talked about the sect's anecdotes to let everyone know that we are not the only ones in the world of cultivation. The years have been quiet for so many years, and there must be some waves for the old master to watch the sky at night. Now The world of comprehension, except for some small disputes, has been calm for decades, decades ago—” Elder Gui Yun shook his head, and continued: “It’s worth noting, time is like water, the old Tao would rather the water be calm, It just flows slowly..."

Wei Jiang suddenly interjected: "Master, your old man is sad!"

Elder Gui Yun stared at him, ignored him, and continued: "We practice cultivation. Some people say it is only to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth and explore the mysteries of the universe. Some say it is only to break through the limits of mortal bodies. More people say it is In order to become an immortal and attain the Tao, the day flies up, and even lives the same life as the heaven and the earth, and shines with the sun and the moon. The old Tao dare not say that these are wrong, but so far, the old Tao has never seen a person who can live as long as the sky, that is, we return to one The patriarch of the Menchuang religion has the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth. After 800 years, what is left is only a portrait. What is the purpose of cultivating the truth? Well done."

"The old Taoist seldom said these words before. Today, the old Taoist has just turned a hundred years old, and he has taken in another disciple. I have some feelings, so I will say a few more words to everyone. I just said these sects, and we belong to the same sect. Among them, if you are a famous master, firstly, you should not underestimate yourself and feel that you are not good enough, and secondly, you must not be ignorant of the heights of the sky and the depth of the earth, thinking that Lao Tzu is the number one in the world. The world is so big, and in this world of cultivation, there are countless strong ones like crucian carp crossing the river. Except for us Cultivation sects, and many aristocratic families, have been passed down for thousands of years, and their background is extremely profound, which is beyond your imagination."

"The old Taoist seldom preaches to you on weekdays, but today I express my feelings, so you should leave."

All the disciples had dispersed, leaving only Jing Qi, Jing Zhao, two older senior brothers, and Xiao Qinghan who was like a dragging oil bottle.

Elder Guiyun looked outside the mountain gate for a long while, seemed very displeased, and said: "Well, you Weijiang, it's a good ceremony, you disturbed it, and made the old man become a talking point today!"

Wei Jiang smiled and said: "Master, you are an old man who speaks well. You didn't see that everyone loves to hear this."

Elder Gui Yun shook his head and said, "Really? Every time the old Taoist talked to his disciples, he just cursed and kicked them out."

Jing Qi also nodded and said: "Master, your old man used to point out our cultivation, and seldom talked with us about the true meaning of cultivation. After listening to it today, I feel that the previous days were a waste of time."

Jingzhao continued: "Eldest brother is right. We cultivate the Tao without asking, and practice the truth without asking what is true. This suddenly wastes time. What the master said is deafening. I believe that many seniors are still Thinking about it."

Elder Guiyun said to Jingqi: "You are a good boy, you never lie." Then he turned to Weijiang and said, "You monkey, how are you going to cultivate yourself when I arrive at Guiyun Peak?"

These words stumped Wei Jiang. He frowned, thought for a long time, and said seriously: "Master, first of all, I have to mend the bottom of the bucket completely, and there are still some leaks; The scriptures, come and learn; in the end, what kind of good medicine is there in Guiyi, take a few pills every day, and a few spirit stones every day, with two prongs, the progress will be smooth."

Seeing Wei Jiang's serious look, Sylvia burst out laughing.

Elder Gui Yun laughed back angrily, and said: "The old Taoist thought you asked me how to teach? Could it be that you have already thought about it yourself? You are ugly, but you think it is quite beautiful."

Wei Jiang pouted and said: "Didn't you ask me this? The teacher asked a question, and the disciple had to answer it. My second private school teacher, Mr. Cheap, told me that he wanted to tell the truth."

Elder Gui Yun couldn't help being stunned, and it took him a while to figure out the difference between what Wei Jiang said, "the first old man who scavenges cheaply" and "the second old man who is a cheap father from a private school".He knew that if he continued to talk with this child, he would become even more entangled, so he directly ordered: "From today onwards, you will still practice the original exercises. After a few days, after passing the assessment as a teacher, let Jingqi teach you one or two Martial skills, in case you can't beat anyone when you go out, you don't have to lose us who return to Yunfeng."

Elder Guiyun paused, pointed at Jingzhao, and said, "Jingzhao will also teach you how to forge real skills. Forging weapons is the true nature of our Gui Yunfeng, so don't forget it."

"What is Forging True Jue?" Wei Jiang asked.

"Junior brother, forging the true art is the method used by Gui Yunfeng to smelt the magic weapon." Jingzhao replied.

Wei Jiang stiffened his head and said, "I don't want to learn."

Elder Gui Yun rolled his eyes and asked, "Why?"

Wei Jiang didn't even think about it, and replied: "I don't want to be a blacksmith! What's the point? I used to have a blacksmith in Shigeda Village. The blacksmith told my second father every day that he wanted to accept me as an apprentice. Hit the iron, I didn't even agree."

Elder Gui Yun was so angry that he slapped the table and shouted: "Little brat, what do you want to learn?"

Wei Jiang's eyes lit up, and he said, "I want to learn alchemy!"

Elder Gui Yun knew his small thoughts, and cursed: "Then get out of Gui Yun Peak, don't be my apprentice, go to find old man Tianxin to learn alchemy."
