Tiandao Planters

Chapter 71 Cleaning the Courtyard

() In the morning of the next day, Li Xiao sat in the gazebo in the center of the small lake, teasing Fei Zai leisurely; Shen Yi and the others were playing around not far from the shore of the lake.

Peach Blossom Old Road is leaning against a peach tree, drinking wine leisurely; the flowers in the distance are smiling at this moment, bending over to loosen the soil for the flowers and plants under their feet, and the little flower fairies around them are going up and down from time to time Flying around, she raised her hand and sprinkled a little green light, which fell on the flowers and plants, and penetrated into them.

Twelve male and female monks were silently cleaning the Taoist temple; Qingfengmingyue sat at the mountain gate, discussing something.

His subordinates unconsciously touched Fei Zai's neck, looked around, looked at the leisurely and easy-going people and things, a faint smile appeared on Li Xiao's face, maybe this is the life he wanted!

Maybe in the near future, I will be able to truly enjoy this leisure, Li Xiao thought.

Suddenly seeing voices coming from the mountain gate awakened Li Xiao, who was wandering in thoughts. When he got up and looked around, he saw Qingfeng Mingyue walking towards the temple with Du Sheng.

Baihua in the distance put away the little flower fairy in an instant, got up and brushed the dirt from his hands, and walked slowly to the gazebo in the lake; the old Taoist who was leaning on the peach blossoms to drink also put away the wine gourd, got up and walked to the gazebo.

Qingfeng Mingyue took Du Sheng, passed by Shen Yi and the others who were still playing around, and walked up the wooden bridge to the gazebo.

"Master Guanzhu, this person said that he came to apprentice." Qingfeng said.

"Well, you guys go." Li Xiao said lightly.

After Qingfeng Mingyue left, Du Sheng didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Li Xiao.

"The ceremony of worshiping the mountain and the ceremony of appreciating the teacher are all here. I wonder if I can worship the teacher today and live in the Taoist temple?" Du Sheng said.

After Du Sheng went back yesterday, he felt that the opportunity was hard-won. If Li Xiao changed his mind again in a few days, wouldn't he be happy for nothing.

Sleepless nights, long dreams, early this morning, Du Sheng handed over the store directly to the shop assistants, and recruited people to move all his favorite things away, preparing to move them all to Fulongqiu.Afterwards, Du Sheng came to the Taoist temple first, and then someone would bring his things.

After happily accepting the bank card, Li Xiao said cheerfully, "No problem at all!"

At this moment, Old Man Peach Blossom and Bai Hua walked up to the gazebo one after another, and stood behind Li Xiao.

"I declare now that Du Sheng will be a member of our Lotus Temple from now on!" Li Xiao stood up straight, said loudly, and then turned to Taohua Laodao.

"From now on, Du Sheng will be your apprentice!"

Peach Blossom Old Taoist bowed slightly, and said calmly: "Yes, my lord!"

Du Sheng on the side was a little puzzled, does this count as apprenticeship?Would it be too hasty!

At this moment, Li Xiao turned to Du Sheng again, and said with a smile: "Okay! From today on, you are a monk of this concept!"

"It's that simple to be a teacher?" Du Sheng said suspiciously.

"You think it's too simple, without a sense of ceremony? Well~ that's it! You come with me." Originally, Li Xiao wanted to deal with it casually, but since someone suggested it, he had to take care of the God of Wealth's feelings.

Calling everyone in the Taoist temple, including Fei Zai, Li Xiao led them to the main hall.

When they came to the lotus flower hall, everyone in the Taoist temple stood on both sides. Li Xiao asked Du Sheng to bow three times to the lotus pattern on the wall, and burn another three sticks of incense.

Afterwards, a group of people went to the Peach Blossom Palace.

A group of monks in the Taoist temple were still separated on both sides. Li Xiao ordered Taoyi to bring three chairs and placed them under the statue.

Taohua Taoist sat in the middle, Baihua sat on his right, Li Xiao sat on his side, Qingfengmingyue and two Taoist boys stood behind him, and Du Sheng stood under the big point.

In fact, Li Xiao didn't care about these etiquettes, firstly, he didn't understand them himself; and also, it was so old, and he felt troublesome and uncomfortable to ask for those complicated etiquettes.

But since Du Sheng suggested that this apprenticeship was too simple and casual, Li Xiao had no choice but to let Du Sheng go through it again according to his own ideas, or it was a nonsense ceremony.

There was silence in the hall, everyone was waiting for Li Xiao to speak.

But at this time, Li Xiao suddenly thought, there is no host or anything, there must be someone to say something!

So, Li Xiao turned his head and whispered to Qingfengmingyue behind him.

When Li Xiao turned around, Qingfeng Mingyue walked to the side and said loudly: "Will the one who stands next sincerely worship the old man Peach Blossom?"

"Disciple Du Sheng, he truly worships the old man Peach Blossom!" Du Sheng replied with a serious face.

Hearing Du Sheng's answer, Mingyue looked at Li Xiao, saw him nodding, then turned around and went to the table to take down the three pillars of sandalwood, lit them, then walked up to Du Sheng and handed them to him, then turned back and went back to the office. Beside Qingfeng.

"Please bow down to the Patriarch of the Peach Blossom Lineage and offer incense!" Qingfeng shouted loudly.

Without any hesitation, Du Sheng immediately performed three prostrations and nine prostrations, then got up and inserted the sandalwood into the incense burner.

Regarding Du Sheng's big gift, Taohua Laodao and Baihua didn't feel anything special, but Li Xiao, who was sitting beside him, looked at Du Sheng back and forth with a look of novelty.

It's not that there's anything wrong with Du Sheng's etiquette. Speaking of which, people who practice ancient martial arts like Du Sheng still value these etiquettes in their minds, and these things are not far from their lives. At least when they were young, they were still I have the experience of being a teacher, so this set of etiquette is still very regular.

It's just that Li Xiao didn't have these things in his mind. When he saw it for the first time, he felt indescribably weird, as if he was watching a performance.

"Kowtow to the teacher! Kowtow!" Qingfeng shouted.

Without hesitation, Du Sheng bowed his knees in front of Tao Hua Taoist, touched his forehead to the ground, and then got up.

"Kowtow again!" Qingfeng then shouted.

Du Sheng bowed down as he said.

"Three kowtows!" Qingfeng shouted again.

Du Sheng kowtowed again.

"The ceremony is over! Tea!" Qingfeng shouted, and then Mingyue fetched a cup of tea from the table that had been there for a few days, and handed it to Du Sheng.

Du Sheng came to the old man Taohua with tea, held the tea in both hands, bent down and said, "Master, please drink tea!"

The Taohua old man who was sitting in the right seat was looking at the tea in Du Sheng's hand with a tangled face at this time. It was obviously tea after several days. It's a little uncomfortable, so it doesn't matter if you stretch out your hand for a while, and it's not true if you don't reach out.

Seeing the old man Peach Blossom sitting there with an ugly face, but he didn't reach out to take the tea, Du Sheng didn't know what to do.

"Senior Peach Blossom, why don't you take tea?" Li Xiao, who was on the side, joked with a smile.

"Um, the old Taoist was happy for a while, and I was a little distracted, so I'll take it!" Taohua Taoist said, cruelly, took the tea, raised his head and drank it.

Seeing the tea bowl being handed to Qingfeng, Taohua Taoist stretched out his hand to help Du Sheng up, and said, "Disciple, you can be more casual in the future, don't make these empty rituals every now and then! It's too tiring!"

"Yes, master!" Du Sheng said respectfully.

At this moment, Qingfeng on the side shouted again: "New disciple Du Sheng, please greet the temple master!"

Hearing this, Du Sheng was stunned. Looking at Li Xiao who was sitting upright, his face darkened, but he obediently bowed and saluted.

"I have seen the Lord!"

As soon as Du Sheng got up, he heard Qingfeng shout again: "New disciple Du Sheng, please greet Baihua Fairy!"

Du Sheng had no choice but to turn around to face Baihua again, bowed in salute, and said, "I've seen Xiangu!"

Qingfeng shouted again: "New disciple Du Sheng, please greet all senior brothers and sisters!"

Turning around and looking at the monks standing upright, especially the nine little radish heads, Du Sheng was speechless in his heart, do you want to be so bloody!

"Monastery Master, this Du Sheng is quite old. He is considered a monk halfway, so he doesn't have to be the youngest generation? Besides, there is no one in our temple!" Seeing this scene, the old man Taohua immediately said, Relieve the siege for his newly recruited disciples.

"Since you have said that, then Du Sheng will be the senior brother from now on!" Li Xiao said, and then said to the people below: "I haven't seen your senior senior brother yet!"

A group of monks, Taoist boys, and Shen Yijiu bowed down one after another, and said in unison: "I have seen you, big brother!"

"Hehe, you don't need to be like this! You don't need to be like this!" Du Sheng's face looked a little better now, and he repeatedly saluted.

Seeing that things were almost done, Li Xiao got up and said, "Okay, the rest is a matter between you master and apprentice! Then we will leave first."

Following Li Xiao's departure, all the people left the Peach Blossom Hall one after another, leaving only Du Sheng and Peach Blossom Old Taoist still in the hall.

I saw Taohua Laotao reached out and took out a Taoist robe behind him, then handed it to Du Sheng and said, "Disciple! Master doesn't have anything good for you, here is a Taoist robe, you just take it off!"

He took the Taoist robe in astonishment, but Du Sheng was still surprised by the way the old man took out the Taoist robe, and forgot to speak for a moment.

Seeing Du Sheng distracted, Tao Hua shook his head and said, "According to the gate rules, you should clean the courtyard for three years first!"

Subconsciously nodded, Du Sheng reacted suddenly, "Master, why did you ask me to sweep the floor!"

"What? You don't want to? Alas, you can't teach a child!" Peach Blossom said with regret.

In fact, there are no school rules, but it is just made up by Taohua Taoist who thinks it is troublesome to teach his apprentices.

"Disciple dare not!" Seeing the old man Taohua's expression, Du Sheng even said he didn't dare.

"Well! Then go! I need to adjust my breath for a while for the teacher!" Sitting back in the chair, Taohua Taohua pretended to be indifferent.

Helpless, Du Sheng had no choice but to withdraw from the Peach Blossom Hall, looked for Qingfengmingyue, asked for a broom, and swept the floor with Taoyi and the others.

Originally, with such a cultivation level, Du Sheng wouldn't do these rough jobs, but in the hearts of martial arts practitioners, he still respects the teacher, so after Taohua Laodao moved out of the door, Du Sheng felt regretful. Give in.

He didn't want to disobey his master on the first day of apprenticeship and be kicked out of the mountain gate.
