The First Sword of the Earth

Before dawn, Wang Sheng started to get busy.

Life on Wudang Mountain is quite convenient, but bathing is actually a big problem in this small broken Taoist temple in my house. I usually use a curtain in the corner between the main house and the side house to wash it with a bucket of clean water. .

Apprenticeship is an absolute life event for Wang Sheng, he took a shower very seriously today.

Even if the conditions are difficult, the parts that boys focus on scrubbing are not pulled.

When he came out of the shower, just as a mountain breeze passed by the courtyard, Wang Sheng felt that every pore in his body was relaxing, as if his body was longing for something, constantly absorbing something from the outside world...

However, it was empty, and the recovery of the vitality of the world was at least half a year away.

half a year...

Masters who have practiced for decades are not comparable, and senior sisters who have a pure state of mind and have cultivated Taoism since childhood to eighteen years old are also somewhat difficult to surpass.

But I grit my teeth and work hard, maybe I can still see the back of my senior sister on the road of cultivation.

When I formally started today, my master might preach to me, but I can't force these things. It's far beyond my expectation that I can become a disciple of the 'Speaking Master', so I don't dare to ask too much at this time.

If I behave better, the vitality of the world has recovered, and the master will not treat me badly.

"Wang Sheng, come here and have a look, is this suit suitable for you?"

Master's shout came from the side room, Wang Sheng put down the bucket of dirty clothes and ran over with wet hair.

Qing Yanzi handed over a brand new taoist robe, under which there was a white shirt and white trousers, similar to the common practice uniforms in martial arts gyms.

Wang Sheng grinned, unfolded the Taoist robe carefully, put it on his body, and looked back and forth.

This is the most serious formal attire for people in the immortal way from now on!

"Thank you Master!"

"You don't need to thank me, your dad insisted on transferring money to the teacher a few days ago, saying it was your tuition and miscellaneous fees," Qing Yanzi said with a light smile, "I have recited the admonitions on this piece of paper before noon."

"Yes, Master."

Wang Sheng tidied up his Taoist robe and took the blank paper given by his master. He thought he could see the master's writing brush with the charm of immortal bones, but he opened it up...

These four-number Song typeface characters are so neat!

After reading it a little bit, it's an introduction, but there are no special rules, it's all about exhorting disciples to be good.

When Wang Sheng raised his head again, the master had already walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He seemed to be in a good mood, and his walk was much lighter than usual.

When I returned to the main room, I was surprised to find that the main room had been arranged properly.

A yellowish portrait of Sanqing hangs in the central hall, and the incense table below has been lit with a clear fragrance, and the green smoke is slowly curling up. When Wang Sheng first saw it, he thought that the ancestor of Sanqing had appeared.

Wang Sheng blinked, Wudang Mountain is often hung with the Emperor Zhenwu, thinking about what Master said before that he was only named in Wudang Mountain, and as far as he knows, when Qing Yanzi became famous, he did not seem to have a direct relationship with Wudang Mountain ...

Their lineage may not have the same origin as the Dao inheritance of Wudang Mountain.

There is a memorial tablet on the main case, with the word 'Heaven and Earth' written on it, the ink is still wet.

Under heaven and earth there is Lu Zu's position, obviously the master's faction should recognize Lu Zu as the patriarch.

The senior sister was happily humming the Taoist tune that Zixiao Palace often played, while playing with two boxes of snacks bought from the mountain.

After putting the snacks on a plate, she stared at the side, as if she was wondering if she could destroy the candied fruit on the spot when the younger brother finished his apprenticeship at noon.

Wang Sheng greeted, "Senior Sister, put your dirty clothes in the bucket. I'm fine in the morning. I'll go do the laundry later."

"Um!"

The senior sister replied without turning her head, pursing her lips, her saliva almost dripped out.

Wang Sheng shook his head and chuckled, Senior Sister really hasn't grown up.

He ran back to his back room, and happily changed into Taoist robes and kung fu clothes,

I also found out that a pair of brand new cloth shoes had been placed at the end of the bed at some point, and they fit just right after I tried it on.

Dressed up in a full set, it is quite stylish.

It's just that the hair is too short...

Without Master's flowing long hair, flying around in the air will lack a bit of chic in the future.

After wondering for a long time, and fearing that it would get dirty and delay the "grand ceremony" at noon, Wang Sheng took off his first Taoist robe and folded it, and changed back into his own shorts and shirt.

When he came out of the back room, he saw a few more girls' clothes in the bucket.

that is……

A pair of ordinary women's underwear quietly occupied the commanding heights of the dirty clothes, which made Wang Sheng blush a little embarrassedly.

"Senior sister, I'm going to do the laundry."

"Uh-huh!"

The senior sister turned her head and made a cheering gesture. Wang Sheng rummaged through the dirty clothes in the bucket without a trace, and covered the underwear with other clothes, and he was relieved.

It's still not enough cultivation of mind.

Not only Wang Sheng thinks that apprenticeship is a major event in life, but also accepting apprentices is not a small matter for Qing Yanzi.

Wang Sheng didn't see any Taoist priest in the past between his master and Taoist priest, but at noon, Qing Yanzi invited two old gray-haired Taoist priests to be witnesses of the ceremony.

When everything was arranged properly, the two witnesses also sat down with smiles, and Qing Yanzi changed into the brand-new Taoist robe that he couldn't wear once a month, and sat in the main hall.

Mu Wanxuan clapped her hands in the outer room, and the apprenticeship ceremony officially began.

Wang Sheng took a breath, straightened his chest and raised his head, straightened the corners of his Taoist robe, held a wooden ruler, and without knowing what it meant, he bowed his head and went out of the back room.

The two priests looked at Wang Sheng for a while, and finally nodded with a smile, and didn't say much.

Qing Yanzi stood up and said with a smile: "The conditions are limited, and the matter of apprenticeship has to be kept simple. Where is Wang Sheng? Come forward first."

"The disciple is here."

"Kneel down."

Wang Sheng held the wooden ruler in his hand and knelt on the futon in front of the case.

Qing Yanzi continued: "Since you are a beginner, you must be famous as a teacher. Our lineage is passed down from our ancestor Lu Zu, and our ancestor is Lu Zu's personal disciple. However, although there was a Taoism passed down later, he did not establish a mountain gate. .It has been passed down to me as a teacher for 1,200 years, and the Dao inheritance has never been cut off."

The two veteran priests stroked their beards and nodded.

"After you get started, you must understand that you are a Taoist. Taoism emphasizes the law of heaven and earth, respect for ancestors, filial piety to parents, and obedience to teachers. If you practice Taoism, you must first be a human being. Do you understand?"

"The disciple understands."

Qing Yanzi nodded in satisfaction, looked down at the note in his palm, and then said:

"After you get started, you are of the 'language' generation. If your senior sister's dao name is silent, your dao name will be non-language."

"Thank you, Master, for giving me the title."

Non-language, non-language Taoist?

Although it sounds a bit awkward to read, but it just happens to be the turn of the language generation on the master's side, so there is no way, it is much better than the "language" and "riddles".

Wang Sheng was worried that his master wanted him to learn to be open-minded before, so he gave him a Taoist name of "Speaking is not amazing and endless".

Fortunately, this wave of Master's performance is relatively stable.

The apprenticeship ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner according to the procedure. After Qing Yanzi took the ruler, Wang Sheng asked Wang Sheng to recite the precepts written on the white paper that Wang Sheng had given him before. Every time Wang Sheng recited a rule, Qing Yanzi would use the wooden ruler to recite the precepts on Wang Sheng. With a light tap on the shoulder, it is regarded as a precept.

"One is not evil, but remember all living beings;

The two do not commit adultery, and do not offend women;

The third is not to steal, not to take anything other than wealth;

The four are not to bully the good and coward the evil..."

There are ten precepts in total, and Wang Sheng memorized them one by one. In this transmission ceremony, most of his tasks have been completed.

Then, when Bu Yanzi arrived at the case, he carefully opened a green cloth package, inside which was a rusty copper box, and under the copper box was pressed an ancient book and scriptures that seemed to be 50% new.

"Today I pass on a copy of the scriptures left by the Immortal Chunyang of your sect, and I will spend half a month with you to copy them. The foundation of future practice should be to follow this scripture."

"Thank you Master for teaching the Fa."

Although Wang Sheng didn't think this would be a way to cultivate immortals, when the master put this scripture in his hands and let him hold it, Wang Sheng felt some weight inexplicably.

This is the master's inheritance.

The old Taoist on the side smiled and said: "It's time to kowtow, first kowtow to the Dao, and then worship the scriptures, thank you three times, and every three bows, you can enter the door and become a Taoist disciple. Today we will bear this testimony for you."

"Yes," Wang Sheng responded, holding the scriptures to his side first, bowed three times to the portrait of Sanqing, then put the scriptures in front of him, bowed three times to the scriptures, and bowed three times to the master bye.

After the ceremony, Wang Sheng also felt that there was something more on his shoulders.

Qing Yanzi smiled and said: "So, you are my second disciple. From now on, you should abide by the precepts and seek the truth. We are not forbidden to be born into the world, and we are not forbidden to marry. You must always remember the three words of loyalty, benevolence and filial piety. Don't let your teacher die in the future." We also need to clear the door."

Wang Sheng's heart trembled.

The master said this purely to remind him, but as long as Wang Sheng thinks that if he does something rebellious and immoral, he will be chased and killed by the unspoken leader...

This is really not a joke.

"The disciple will never let the master down."

"Get up," Qing Yanzi stepped forward to support Wang Sheng, and Wang Sheng stood up. The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled, and there was clapping applause.

These two old Taoist priests can be considered to be quite face-saving, and their hands are red.

Qing Yanzi said: "You two will tidy up this place, and accompany the two uncles to have a fast meal for the teacher."

Obviously, if the two veterans come to participate in such a ceremony, they can also have a fast meal.

Wang Sheng and his senior sister sent the two senior uncles out of the mountain gate together. Qing Yanzi said that he would bring them food back, and then drifted away.

"Senior Sister!"

Wang Sheng suddenly turned his head and shouted, Mu Wanxuan blinked, waiting for Wang Sheng's next words.

"Going to have some snacks."

"Hey!"

Mu Wanxuan woke up like a dream, and ran towards the middle hall in a hurry. Wang Sheng's eyes were blurred, and he couldn't see the movement of the senior sister turning around.

Probably, this is the boss.

The copper box has been put away by the master, but the scriptures are still there, and the words "Bu Yanzi copying" are clearly written on it, which is obviously copied by the master in his early years.

Holding this ancient book in his arms, Wang Sheng began to read it with relish. At first he thought it was just an ordinary Taoist scripture, but after reading one, he felt a little dry mouth and sweaty palms...

'Humans have five deficiencies, and Dao has five elements. Concentrate with energy, hold the precepts and reach the peak. '

This is……

'Gu Xi Taixuan, Shen Xi Dao, Gu Shen immortal, is the root of heaven and earth. The gods get their spirits, the valleys get peace, and the Taoists keep one, so that they can live forever. '

Immortal formula!

Taught by Lu Zu himself, a complete set of outlines and formulas for cultivating Taoism!

There is also a detailed division of the realm of cultivation!

Although these are all implied in various ancient Chinese contexts, how can Wang Sheng fail to see the meaning contained in these ancient characters after studying such characters for more than ten years?

Condensation Chapter, God Gathering Chapter, Embryo Formation Chapter, Void Dan Chapter, Jin Dan Chapter...

this?

Pass it on to yourself so easily? Even if the profound energy of heaven and earth is not there, this should be the core of Dao Cheng!

Just looking at the few paragraphs of formulas in the first chapter, the principles contained in them and the exercises recorded are several times more advanced than the basic exercises I practiced in my previous life!

Wang Sheng couldn't help moaning, feeling more and more that he was too useless in his previous life...

"ah--"

A small white hand stretched out in front of him, holding a piece of candied fruit between two fingers.

"Well!"

Wang Sheng swallowed the snack with one mouthful, smiled smirk at his senior sister, and began to continue reading impatiently.

After reading only three articles, many doubts that have plagued me for several years in my previous life have been answered, and I suddenly feel that the future is bright.

When he was excited, Wang Sheng beat his chest and patted his thighs in various ways, causing the senior sister to giggle non-stop.

But soon, Mu Wanxuan seemed to remember something.

‘Children from the city, if they are normal in all aspects, who would be willing to send them to the mountains to suffer? '

A certain master's sigh seemed to be still in his ears, and this senior sister looked at the little junior brother with more pity...
