Chapter 121: Respecting Teachers [Additional update for 'Han Xiaojiang']
Qingying Longnu responded very quickly, replying within seconds.
From the Nine Nether Order, the clear and melodious lazy laughter of the Dragon Girl came out.
[Mr. Chu, did you really go to justice and enforce the law? It’s so interesting. Have you caught anyone? 】
Chu Chen smiled. Dragon Girl was usually calm and steady, but after all, she was still a girl at heart. She was at the age where she loved to play, make trouble, and watch the excitement.
[I caught him. He really didn’t have the certificate for corpse refining. I followed him all the way, just in time to stop him from violating an innocent woman. Princess Ying, you have done a great job!]
Chu Chen made a general mention, but his tone was tight and he didn't mention anything about Qian Yin Sha Sect.
【real or fake?】
On the other side, Qingying Longnu was so happy that she couldn't stop laughing.
She really just said it.
[It is absolutely true that the three zombies he bought fell into my hands. You and I are really crouching dragons and phoenixes, with sharp eyes. We can see at a glance that the person is not a thing. Justice comes from heaven. 】
[Hehehehe~, you are Fengxiao, and I am Wolong, this is good! I never expected you to be so funny, this is what I love to hear!]
Qingying Longnu is in a good mood.
With a privileged background, she is not afraid of things getting serious, but she is afraid of not being able to join in the fun. She is a trouble maker.
[Princess Ying, you have a secret method to detect the sincerity of others. I always treat others sincerely and never lie. You know it. 】
[You have misunderstood. I am also very sincere to my friends. How could I use secret methods to spy on people? That is to say, I used secret methods when we first met. I didn’t expect that you really looked down on my father’s support at that time.
It pissed me off...】
...
After the two chatted for a while, Chu Chen went straight to the topic and asked about the art of making incense.
[Mr. Chu, do you want to learn the art of making incense? There are some books on incense making, but most of them are just superficial introductory skills and common sense of incense making. You can’t learn any advanced skills. It’s okay to make ordinary incense, but you have to make Xinxiang Spiritual Incense.
That’s difficult. If you want a book, you don’t need to buy it. I’ll have someone send it to you. It’s not worth a lot of money!]
Across the line is like a mountain. Chu Chen is still young in the world of spiritual practice, and he really doesn’t understand the art of making incense.
He was quite disappointed when he heard that the dragon girl Qingying said that the incense making books on the market were all superficial knowledge, and that after learning, she could only make ordinary incense, but not the spiritual incense.
It seems that he thought too simply.
[Then there’s Laolongnu. I’ve been very interested in making incense recently. I don’t know how to learn the advanced incense-making skills? 】
[You must learn the art from a master! Incense makers, like alchemists and swordsmiths, attach great importance to the inheritance of the Dharma lineage and will not teach it to others easily.]
[Our Dilong Chamber of Commerce has many incense workshops and incense makers. Mr. Chu, if you want to learn, I can introduce you to a skilled incense maker, but you must become an apprentice. If you don’t become an apprentice, others will not pass it on.
It’s your law, and I can’t force it.】
Chu Chen nodded slightly.
Incense is the messenger of faith.
The path of incense is the path of sincerity and tranquility.
The cigarette smoke curls up and smells fragrant.
Burning incense brings peace and tranquility.
It can nourish the mind and health, open up the mind and bring forth wisdom, and also be willing to help the Tao... all kinds of wonderful uses are endless.
Some high-grade incense can also be used to avoid disasters, protect oneself, and invite gods to kill enemies...
The path of incense is inseparable from spiritual practice and has many wonderful uses.
Skilled perfume makers are very popular wherever they go and have a high status.
The Dilong Chamber of Commerce and the perfumers are not a simple employment relationship, with clear hierarchy, but more of an equal cooperative relationship.
In particular, some incense-making masters often take the initiative, and sometimes the chamber of commerce becomes a labor force, begging grandpa and grandma for supplies, for fear that others will be unhappy.
[Well, I understand. If you want to learn from a master, you have to consult the master for his opinion. I’ll talk about it next time. I’m going to trouble Princess Ying this time.]
[It doesn’t matter, it’s a trivial matter~]
Chu Chen put the Nine Nether Order back into the Immortal Bracelet Cave, thought about it for a moment, and felt that this matter could not be urgent.
Making incense is a skill, not the fundamental method of cultivating Taoism. Having another incense maker as your master does not count as "judgement" or the like.
If there is no conflict, there will be no conflict. Learning from a master is not a trivial matter. He must consult his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping.
You must first ask the master if he knows how to make incense, and if you can, follow the instructions.
If not, it is best to have your master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, recommend an incense-making master, or get the master's permission, and then learn the craft from him.
This is called "respecting teachers and respecting the Tao".
...
After returning home from the office, Chu Chen, Taoist Xu Ping, and the kid gathered together in a very lively room.
"What! Senior brother, you want to learn how to make incense? Great, senior brother, you are so kind to me!"
The kid was very excited when he heard that Chu Chen wanted to learn how to make incense.
It not only likes soul-boosting incense, but also all other spiritual and spiritual incense.
Senior brother learned how to make incense, isn't it...
As he talked, the kid's eyes were full of stars and his saliva was almost drooling.
Chu Chen looked at the little ghost boy's excitement and secretly felt funny.
Don't be moved. I didn't learn it for you. Why are you so excited?
Taoist priest Xu Ping was slightly curious.
Why does the apprentice suddenly want to learn how to make incense?
Could it be the Xinxiang recipe at noon?
"Apprentice, did you hide the Xinxiang Fang that you handed over today? That Xinxiang Fang seems to be incomplete."
Taoist Master Xu Ping had a serious look on his face. This matter involved the Tongtian Dharma, which directly leads to the great road. Many big shots were watching. He was afraid that his apprentice would be greedy and leave the true Xinxiang recipe behind and hand over a fake Xinxiang recipe.
If this is the case, then things will be troublesome.
Chu Chen shook his head: "No, that letter of incense is the original, not forged by me. The prisoner handed it in, and the people above will know it after checking it. How could I be so dizzy that I would do such a stupid thing! I just suddenly want to learn how to make incense.
Yes, you also know that I can refine my troops very quickly, but the cost of Yihun Xinxiang is too high."
Taoist priest Xu Ping breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, his disciple had a stable temperament and was not the kind of person who could not handle things clearly.
"That's good!"
Taoist Xu Ping nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and said:
"You are indeed fast at refining weapons. You will consume more incense in the future. It is good to learn how to make incense."
"I'm not good at making incense. I can make simple incense, but I can't make incense. If you really want to learn a skill, you have to find an incense master and learn from it."
OK."
When Chu Chen heard what Master said, he felt happy: "Hey, Master, I'll help you."
Taoist Xu Ping pondered for a while and said slowly:
"There's no need to rush this matter. Just wait a few more days and I'll make arrangements for you when the results come out."
Chu Chen had good insight and saw a faint smile flashing across his master Xu Ping's face.
"Master, have you met something happy?"
Xu Ping nodded:
"I have been traveling around various places as a teacher over the years, and have accumulated a lot of achievements, large and small. However, because my Taoist cultivation has stagnated, I have wasted many years as a seventh-grade immortal official. After being promoted to the sixth-grade Taoist cultivation level, I can directly become a teacher.
He has entered the list of candidates for the sixth-grade immortal official and is waiting to fill the vacancy."
"Speaking of which, it's thanks to you that this matter happened. You captured the remnants of the Qian Yin Sha Sect and became the master of Xin'an County's Ghost and God Division. You showed your face at the top, and with the help of your uncle, you became a member of Zhoumu County.
The guards, as well as the governors of the prefectures and counties, have many words of praise."
"I heard from your uncle that there is a vacancy in Guangping County recently. It is possible that I will be transferred to Guangping County's Ghost and God Division and promoted to a sixth-grade immortal official. At that time, you can follow me to Guangping County and wait until the situation stabilizes. I will find someone for you."
A masterful perfumer!”
Chu Chen was extremely surprised and congratulated him repeatedly:
