The Transcendence of All Realms

Chapter 61 Apprenticeship
After getting acquainted with Uncle Jiu, Jia Xiaoyi came to visit Uncle Jiu's house every now and then.

On this day, the day before Uncle Jiu discussed with Master Ren, Jia Xiaoyi came to Uncle Jiu's house again.

"Brother A, you're here again. Master just left the house and hasn't come back yet." Qiu Sheng has always treated Jia Xiaoyi very well since the last time Jia Xiaoyi gave him the jade pendant.

Jia Xiaoyi smiled: "It's okay, I'll wait for a while."

Then Jia Xiaoyi put the things in his hand on the table.

"Brother A, you bring things with you every time you come. Master sees it when he comes back, and he's going to scold me again, saying that I won't stop you." After seeing the things in A Xiaoyi's hands, Qiu Sheng's eyes lit up, but soon It got dark, lowered his head, and seemed a little unhappy.

"It's just some worthless food, don't worry too much about it." Jia Xiaoyi waved his hand, "I will explain when Uncle Jiu comes back."

As soon as the voice fell, hurried footsteps came from outside the door. Before the person arrived, the voice came out first.

"What's so fragrant, Qiusheng, what did you secretly buy behind my back?" Before entering the door, Uncle Jiu's hearty voice and laughter arrived first, but after entering the door, he was obviously taken aback when he saw that it was Jia Xiaoyi. , and suddenly realized.

"Little brother is so annoying. Every time I come here, I bring something, which really embarrasses Lin."

"Uncle Jiu, you are too polite, these things are not worth much, you know my identity, why should you mind so much?"

"Little brother is right, Wencai, put your things away and come over for dinner."

After drinking for three rounds, Uncle Jiu directly found an excuse to let the two apprentices go out, and then stared at Jia Xiaoyi.

"Little brother has been at Lin's house for so many days, I can see that little brother obviously wants something from Lin, why don't you just say it?" Uncle Jiu looked at Jia Xiaoyi, making Jia Xiaoyi feel as if his thoughts were known same.

After pondering for a while, Jia Xiaoyi spoke.

"Uncle Jiu, you also know that I am a martial arts practitioner, but when I encountered ghosts before, there was nothing I could do, so I want to worship Uncle Jiu as a teacher and learn some ghost-hunting methods. I wonder if Uncle Jiu is willing? "

When Jia Xiaoyi opened his mouth, Uncle Jiu was taken aback, apparently he didn't expect Jia Xiaoyi to mean this.

Immediately, Uncle Jiu fell into deep thought, and only spoke after a long time.

"Actually, it's not impossible to accept you as a disciple. It's just that Lin has not returned to Maoshan for a long time due to the war. Generally, if we accept disciples in Maoshan, we have to register them. If you become Lin's disciple, at least for now There is no way to register, and Maoshan will not recognize you as Maoshan's disciple in the future."

"What about Taoism?" Jia Xiaoyi didn't care whether he could be registered or not, learning Taoism was Jia Xiaoyi's ultimate goal.

"I can teach you Taoism, but I have only practiced Maoshan's mentality to the fifth level. If it goes higher, I can't teach you. You need to understand it by yourself."

"It's okay, I don't care." Jia Xiaoyi said directly.

After Uncle Jiu agreed, he directly called the two apprentices in and asked them to prepare things for apprenticeship.

The acceptance of apprentices by the Maoshan School is relatively formal, and the apprenticeship ceremony is also very particular.

Before the incense table at Uncle Jiu's house, Uncle Jiu arranged things, then put on the Maoshan Taoist robe that he hadn't worn for a long time, and sat on the top seat.

On the incense table, there are two portraits.

According to Uncle Jiu, one of these two portraits is the portrait of the patriarch of the Maoshan School, the patriarch of Maoshan, Tao Hongjing, named Huayang Zhenren.

And the other portrait is the contemporary head of Maoshan, the eldest brother of Uncle Nine.

Then Uncle Jiu opened his mouth and talked about the history of the Maoshan School incessantly, from the place where the Maoshan School was established to the period of the Republic of China, and also focused on some important figures of the Maoshan School.

In the pre-Qin period, there were Xianren Zhan Shanggong and Guo Sichao, etc. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were high-level Taoists Li Ming and Zuo Ci. There are masters of ceremonies Lu Xiujing, Sun Youyue, etc. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were Wang Yuanzhi, Pan Shizheng, Sima Chengzhen, Li Hanguang, etc.

After telling the history, Uncle Jiu began to read the rules of the Maoshan School.

From the first one, all the way to the end.

Then there are a few important points, which are nothing more than respecting the teacher and respecting the way, strictly prohibiting actions against the disciples of the sect, and regulations for the worldly people.

After Uncle Jiu finished speaking, he signaled Jia Xiaoyi to come forward.

Jia Xiaoyi directly lit a few sticks of incense, then knelt down in front of the incense table, bowed to the patriarch, then bowed to the current master, and finally bowed to the ninth uncle, and then saluted, Jiaxiao Yi also became an official disciple of the Maoshan School.

After completing the apprenticeship, Jia Xiaoyi bowed directly to Uncle Jiu: "Master."

Then he turned around again and cupped his hands at Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng: "I've seen the two senior brothers."

"Hello, brother."

For Jia Xiaoyi, Uncle Jiu is still very satisfied. During this period of getting along, Uncle Jiu agrees with Jia Xiaoyi's behavior and handling of things.

After paying homage to the teacher, Jia Xiaoyi directly took out some gold and handed it to Uncle Jiu and Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai.

Since you are an apprentice, how can you do it without an apprentice ceremony?
At first, Uncle Jiu was evasive, but under the persuasion of the two apprentices, Uncle Jiu put it away.

After that, Uncle Jiu became more and more satisfied with Jia Xiaoyi.

After paying homage to the teacher, Wencai and Qiusheng packed up their things, while Uncle Jiu took Jia Xiaoyi into the house, took out a simple yellowish book from the hidden compartment under the bed, and handed it to Jia Xiaoyi .

"Maoshan True Explanation."

"This is?"

"This is the essence of my Taoism and talisman techniques in Maoshan. It records the only remaining Taoism and talisman techniques in Maoshan, as well as some methods of making talismans. You can read them first. If you don't understand anything, you can read it at any time." Come and ask me." Uncle Jiu explained after handing it to Jia Xiaoyi.

"Okay, Master."

Jia Xiaoyi took the Maoshan True Explanation, and opened it casually.

Sure enough, Maoshan's basic qi training method was recorded at the beginning. This is a method that can produce spiritual power, so that Jia Xiaoyi can cut his fingers without moving.

And then turned it back, and Jia Xiaoyi saw a lot of Maoshan's formulas, such as the curse of expelling evil spirits and spells of attracting thunder that Uncle Jiu had cast before.

The last part is Maoshan's talisman technique, and some methods of making talismans, which can be said to be owned by Maoshan.

"There are [-] levels of mentality in this sect. It is said that after you practice it, you can directly become an immortal. However, I have only practiced the fifth level now. Although there are secret books for the latter, I have never touched it. The first five levels, Xiao If you don’t understand anything, I can explain it to you, but I can’t do anything later.” Uncle Jiu looked at Jia Xiaoyi and said with some regret.

I don't know if he is butting himself, or pitying Jia Xiaoyi.
