The First Sword of the Earth

Chapter 4: 3 questions from a teacher

“Apprentice a teacher to learn Taoism? Follow me? Ah… When you suddenly said that, I really don’t know how to answer. I didn’t expect that the high popularity field that has been hidden for many years was seen through by you young man…”

Dao Master smiled disapprovingly, his words were a little boundless, but his eyes were very clear.

This makes Wang Sheng a little nervous.

If everything goes fast, Wang Sheng didn’t dare to kneel down and kowtow to apprentice the teacher forcibly. He could only look back with his most sincere eyes when the Daoist was watching him.

The tall and thin Taoist staggered his eyes and smiled and asked: “If you want to learn martial arts, there are gyms on this mountain that teach martial arts.”

Wang Sheng said earnestly: “Dao Master, I came to Wudang Mountain because I wanted to seek immortality and seek Taoism, I want to approve of my teacher, and follow the master’s practice. When I see the Taoist master, I know that I have found it.”

The tall and thin Taoist frowned, “If you say you come to learn martial arts, it’s a good idea to open your mouth and keep your mouth shut is to cultivate immortals…Little layman, what kind of Taoism have you really seen someone know?”

Wang Sheng had long thought of how to deal with it, and said with a serious expression: “The disciple is ignorant, and he has been studying Taoist classics when he was in school. The disciple feels that Tao is a kind of spirit, a different understanding of the world and the universe, and it is also the spiritual sustenance I want to pursue. .”

“Uh…”

The tall and thin Taoist sneered for a while, and did not persuade too much, and pointed in the direction of Zixia Palace, “Is there no longer a path?”

“Yes or yes,” Wang Sheng didn’t know what to say for a while, “It’s just that, I searched Wudang Mountain and couldn’t find the master I wanted to worship, but here I met you, the master… , I know that Chang is an extraordinary person, and I ask Dao Master to accept the disciple no matter what.”

Wang Sheng also felt a little embarrassed when he was wearing a lot of wear and flattering.

This long laughed dumbly, and slowly stood up from the wicker chair, only then did Wang Sheng see that this great master, who would be famous in a few years, was more than a head taller than himself at this time.

Uh, I won’t be fully opened until I’m nineteen…

The Taoist priest stands long, with his shoulders drooping, and his breath is steady. Although his image is a bit sloppy, he has an unspeakable demeanor.

Maybe, this is the real monk.

Even if he hasn’t had the vitality to embark on a real spiritual path, he has been sharpening himself for decades, and by this time he can still have a kind of vitality exuding from his bones.

This kind of invisible accumulation, as long as there is heaven and earth vitality to infuse oneself, it will usher in a very terrifying outbreak!

Wang Sheng made up his mind, this master will bow down anyway…

Listen to the Taoist chief who sells martial arts secrets, Wen said:

“You young man is really interesting. You talked all over your mouth and said that you still pick and choose from a teacher. What’s more ridiculous is that you still look at me?

There are countless people on Wudang Mountain who come to visit a teacher and ask for the Tao every year. You only need to go to the mountain to find a master and offer some incense, and you will naturally be able to practice on the mountain.

I just hang a name in Wudang Mountain, but I don’t teach my disciple to recite sutras and worship God. Although I have a disciple, I don’t care about her on weekdays. ”

Although the Taoist priest said so, he was looking at Wang Sheng’s face, and he felt that this seedling was pretty good.

‘This young man seems to have suffered a great calamity, but at this time he has already suffered a blessing. Perhaps it was because of this catastrophe that he was somewhat resistant to the original living environment and thought of becoming a monk. ’

So, this Taoist leader actually thinks that Wang Sheng can get started.

Wang Sheng gritted his teeth and whispered: “Dao Master, my disciple is stupid, I don’t know how to say it. I really want to follow Dao Master in practice, I am willing to cut my hair to get started, receive Dao Sect precepts, and be a clean mountain Taoist priest.”

“Oh?” This long frown slightly, “Do you know what you are talking about?”

Wang Sheng nodded solemnly: “Well, the disciple knows.”

Dao Chang thought a little bit, sat back in the wicker chair, and asked with his accent: “Are there parents?”

“There are parents, they also followed, right behind, and you will see them later.”

Wang Sheng turned his head and glanced, his parents had already set off and went down.

After thinking a little bit in his heart, Wang Sheng said again: “My parents are fashionable and healthy, and the disciples don’t have too much thoughts about practicing in the mountains. When they are old, the disciples will do their filial piety and serve.”

“Well, if you have your parents come with you, you are considered to be a little sincere… I thought it was another novel and movie. The guy who ran away from home really became the Wudangshan police station. He also bought Sanqing Luzu Zhenwu. The emperor’s account.”

The Taoist master spit out a few words, and said leisurely: “It is not impossible to approve a teacher. I am not good at Taoism, but it is not too reluctant to bring an apprentice. I have three questions, if you If I can answer, let your parents come over and talk to me.”

“Yes!” Wang Sheng almost grinned.

Nowadays, most of the young people who go to these famous mountains are just to learn martial arts, and very few people will become a monk when they are young.

Wang Sheng took a deep breath and looked at the Taoist chief with scorching eyes.

The corners of his mouth curled up, “Don’t look at me that way, I’m a certified and serious Taoist priest.”

Wang Sheng also smiled, and quickly reduced his smile, lowered his head and said, “Excuse me.”

“The first question is, you said you want to cultivate the Tao, then in your opinion, what is Tao?”

“Disciple…The disciple doesn’t know what Tao is, so I want to follow the master to understand what Tao is.”

Wang Sheng recalled the words he had prepared before, saying word by word, very earnestly: “If the disciples understand at this time, Tao is natural, orderly, and the rule of law.

The cultivation of Tao is nothing more than the cultivation of the mind, the body, the practice, and the cultivation of nature. If you can be in the Tao, you can be contented.

There is a saying in the old saying: If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening.

If a disciple can follow the Master’s enlightenment and enlightenment, and swim in the Tao, he will not be in vain of this life, and it will be a worthwhile trip. ”

After finishing speaking in one breath, Wang Sheng didn’t know if he said too much or said less, waiting rather nervously.

Is this life worthwhile, worthy of this trip?

This long whispered a few words, rubbed his eyebrows, and said with a smile: “You be my master… Haha! Where did you get these great ideas? I also said that I am not a novel. I read too much!”

Wang Sheng could only scratch his head, with a simple smile on his face.

“I will ask you again, the second question!”

Dao Master suddenly gave a soft drink, changing his lazy and tired face before, his eyes were like electricity, staring at Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng subconsciously wanted to dodge, but his heart trembled, and he calmly looked at the Daoist Chief.

He came to learn from a teacher. Although he has some impure motives, he is not at all evil, frank and innocent, and he does not need to be afraid of looking at it like this.

“May I ask.”

“What are the five techniques of Taoism.”

Wang Sheng replied calmly and unhurriedly: “Mountains, medicine, fate, physiognomy, divination. Mountains are Taoist magic methods, and nowadays they mostly refer to Taoism; doctors are Taoism doctors, as the saying goes, the ten ways and nine doctors are like this…”

Hundreds of words in a row, talk freely without pause.

“Oh, it looks like you have really worked hard,” Dao Chang smiled happily.

Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

“Speaking without words” is so terrifying to be fierce.

He was really afraid that the Taoist leader would not agree with him, so he would slap himself to death…

After all, more than ten years later, this man has just been in the vitality for more than ten years, and he is already a giant of immortality who can break the path of the cloud. In the official and unofficial lists and master counts, he will always be in the top ten. , There is a place in the top five!

“Boy, I really like you a little bit, tsk tsk,” the Taoist chuckled, touching his chin, “Okay, third question.”

What should I ask?

Taoist school? Daomen history? Still have to test his Huang Lao skills, Lao Zhuang’s words? “Tao De Jing”, “Lao Zi Xiang Er Note”?

Wang Sheng has already begun to prepare answers, and the Taoist leader cleared his throat and calmly asked a question that made Wang Sheng almost blew himself up…

Daochang smiled and said, “You want to worship me as your teacher. If I become your master, I will drown in the water with your dad. Who will you save first?”

The corners of Wang Sheng’s mouth twitched constantly, and the Taoist leader looked at Wang Sheng with a smile, and looked like ‘you can’t be troubled by the sample’.

This question seems absurd and funny, but in fact it is very tricky, because he can’t save anyone first.

First save the master, that is, you are not filial to your parents. There is a saying in the Taoist school that ‘the unfilial person cannot be an adult’.

Save your parents first? Wouldn’t it be that he simply lowered his head and yelled that Master is like a parent, but making this choice is obviously a ‘different heart’…

For a while, cold sweat broke out on Wang Sheng’s forehead.

If you follow your inner answer, you will definitely save your parents.

The chief urged again: “Who will save first?”

“Save…my dad.”

As soon as his voice fell, the Taoist chief’s smile suddenly faded, sitting there staring at Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng was also a little confused, and quickly wanted to make a reasonable statement.

Without waiting for him to explain, the Taoist leader in front of him suddenly stood up, turned around the broken bookstand, passed Wang Sheng, and took two steps forward.

Wang Sheng was a little confused, turned his head and glanced, it turned out that his parents had already come close.

“The two laymen have invited.”

The Taoist leader greeted him with a decent gesture, and said in a clear voice:

“The poor Dao Qingyanzi is a monk in Wudang Mountain. This is my Daoist certificate. Please look at the two laymen. There is a big chapter deducted by the Taoist Association. It can also be found in the archives in the mountain. My Profile…”

Qingyanzi, it really is this big guy.

Wang Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then grinned, realizing that he had passed the test, and answered the previous three questions.

Hearing Qingyanzi said: “This little layman wants to worship me as a teacher. I, uh, see that he is quite moral, and I also want to accept disciples. It’s just that you must have the consent of your parents to become a monk. But, I don’t know what the two of you think?”

“A monk? This is not good!”

Hearing what his mother said, Wang Sheng knew that he would not be able to worship the teacher today.

I have no choice but to find a way to persuade my parents, and then let my parents accompany me to find my teacher.

How do you convince 　　? The big deal is that Wang Sheng doesn’t want this face in front of his parents.

I finally found a big tree like Qingyanzi, and I absolutely have to tie it tight!

It may be that Wang Sheng’s face was a little disappointed. Wang Sheng’s father pulled his wife a bit, and greeted Qing Yanzi to the side, “This Daoist, let’s talk here and talk here.”

Wang Sheng wanted to follow, but was stopped by his father’s gesture, so he could only stand beside the suitcase and wait.

Alas, you must first settle in the outside world, and the ancients sincerely did not deceive me.

A few minutes later, Qing Yanzi walked back with a face full of spring breeze, and Wang Sheng’s parents followed the Taoist master with smiles of’I can finally rest assured now.’

Wang Sheng almost knew what the outcome of the trial was.

“Wang Sheng?” Qing Yanzi called him.

Seeing this big man staring at him with a smile, Wang Sheng quickly replied: “Yes, the disciple is there.”

“Since your parents don’t object to your practice, then you can stay on the mountain temporarily. Tonight, accompany your parents to the hotel under the mountain to gather for another day, and wait for me in the mountain tomorrow morning.”

After a word, he went away, not even accepting this broken bookstand.

What the hell?

Wang Sheng glared at his own father, then looked at his own mother, the couple suddenly showed a cordial smile.

Dad waved his hand, “Leave my son, go down the mountain and find a hotel for one night!”

“Dad, Mom? What’s the matter?” Wang Sheng scratched his head for a while, and squeezed his thigh, taking a breath of pain.

“Let’s go,” the mother walked over and took Wang Sheng’s arm. “Why don’t you go up the mountain and build a road? Mom and dad are right!”

Listen, why is it so unbelievable just a punctuation mark.

There is a conspiracy.

There must be a conspiracy in this!
