Teng Tianhan had official duties and could not stay in Licheng for too long. Seeing that he wanted to see his son apprentice as a disciple, Qin Liuxi did not hesitate and held the apprenticeship ceremony the next day.
The ceremony of becoming a disciple is not very solemn, but it is not very grand, and it is not entirely contemptuous. The ceremony was held in the main hall, in front of the golden statue of the Patriarch.
As for Qin Liuxi, although he was lame, he put on the robes and purple robes that he usually wore for important events. With every move he made, golden light seemed to be flowing around his body.
Teng Tianhan, Wang Zheng and others were all looking at her with a little rapt attention. They were used to seeing her wearing a simple green robe, but they were a little uncomfortable wearing such a grand dress.
However, when she put on the cassock in front of her, she looked more like a master, far away and unreachable, and she didn't dare to blaspheme.
Not to mention Teng Tianhan and others, even the senior fellow apprentices in the temple, Wu Wei and others, when they saw Qin Liuxi dressed up in a grand manner, they always looked like little ancestors without being dissolute, and they were particularly noble and proud.
This is the young master of their Qingping Temple and their future heir.
The Taoist priests present could not help but feel a little happy.
In front of the Patriarch's case, incense was burned and an altar was set up. Wuwei stood aside as a teacher, singing hymns and performing rituals.
"Disciples kneel down and recite the post of sincere worship to the master."
Teng Zhao knelt on the futon, wearing a small green robe, with his hair hanging behind his head. He held the apprenticeship note written by himself in both hands and read aloud: "My disciple Teng Zhao sincerely invites you to join the apprenticeship..."
Teng Tianhan's eyes were slightly moist. He had never heard his son read an article of more than twenty words. Even when he spoke to himself, he always kept it brief, as if saying one more word would be a burden to him.
This is the first time I heard him recite a long word, but it was an apprenticeship post.
Mr. Qi, who came with him, also had tears in his eyes, but he was also overjoyed.
This kid is not stupid, he just hasn't met the right person.
After Teng Zhao read the apprenticeship notice, he raised it above his head, and Qin Liuxi took it away.
The same goes for Wangchuan who is kneeling next to Teng Zhao. She is young and has never learned any calligraphy before. Teng Zhao wrote this apprenticeship notice for her. All she can do is to devoutly say that she is willing to become a disciple.
Take Qin Liuxi as your teacher, take care of him till you grow old, and never betray your teacher.
Qin Liuxi also accepted her apprenticeship post.
She twisted three sticks of incense, held it flat, offered the incense to the gods, and then asked the divination with three copper coins that exuded a simple atmosphere.
The hexagram showed great auspiciousness, and then he went up to the table to announce the message. Wuwei led two Taoist boys to burn incense and kneel to play, and ordered water to be sprinkled.
The ringing of the Dharma bell makes a clear and solemn sound, which makes people feel shocked and feel that all the bad luck in their hearts has disappeared.
But I saw Qin Liuxi with his eyes slightly closed, stepping forward and fighting, silently reciting the words to report to God.
She, Qin Liuxi, has accepted a disciple.
Wang Zheng held his breath as he watched Qin Liuxi step on the steps. He felt that her chaotic steps, which were a bit sluggish due to her lame leg, were more beautiful, sacred and shocking than many dance steps.
After suing God, he performed a sacrificial ceremony and handed an acknowledgment in front of the statue of the ancestor, followed by kowtow and an oath, and drank a bowl of water with two disciples.
After drinking a bowl of water, Qingyuan was about to step forward, but saw Qin Liuxi squatting in front of two young disciples again, with his hands on their foreheads, his eyes closed, and he was calm.
Qingyuan's expression changed, he looked at Elder Chi Yuan and said: "Master, senior brother, she..."
Old Taoist Chi Yuan was also a little surprised, but then he was relieved, smiled, and said: "Let her go."
Seeing the shocked expressions of the two, Teng Tianhan's heart moved and he asked Qingyuan in a low voice: "Taoist Master, what does this mean?"
Qingyuan looked over with a bit of envy and admiration in his eyes, and said: "My nephew is really very lucky."
Teng Tianhan's eyebrows moved and he waited quietly for his next words.
Qingyuan whispered: "Brother, this is giving them a little power of faith, that is, the power of merit. This is the same as the Buddhist initiation. Those who receive the initiation are blessed by the master, purify their karma, and are protected by the Buddhas.
Think of compassion. The same goes for the merit and power given by the senior brother. With the power of faith, they will get twice the result with half the effort in practice and gain deeper enlightenment in their practice. And having the power of merit is equivalent to having a talisman, so that evildoers dare not approach.
Both Yu Shouyuan and Yu Shouyuan are good."
Teng Tianhan did not expect Qin Liuxi to be so generous and said, "Is that going to hurt Master?"
Qingyuan smiled and said: "The merits and virtues are accumulated bit by bit by doing good deeds. They are extremely important to us Buddhists, but they are not endless. Give a little here, give a little somewhere, and everything will be fine."
Empty. Only those who attach great importance to human affairs will be willing to give up this merit."
He looked at Qin Liuxi and said, "If you ask whether there is any damage, you can tell by looking at the expression on my senior brother's face."
Teng Tianhan quickly looked over and was shocked to see Qin Liuxi's face turned slightly pale.
He thought that Qin Liuxi's acceptance of disciples was just a temporary idea, but he didn't expect that he would take it so seriously that he would use the power of merit. And as a father, what did he give to his children?
Teng Tianhan's face felt a little hot.
Wang Zheng was envious and envious. He squeezed in front of Chi Yuan Lao Dao and showed his unprecedented flattery: "Master, regarding accepting disciples, do you think I still have a chance?"
Qingyuan: "..."
Teng Tianhan: "!"
The old Taoist Chi Yuan was also stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "The old Taoist no longer accepts disciples, and the young master also has a broader path to take, rather than staying in Xuanmen."
Wang Zheng couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard this.
"Of course."
Wang Zheng looked up at him again in surprise.
Chi Yuan Lao Taoist stroked his beard and said: "Our Qingping Temple has never stopped accepting believers. As long as you are sincerely willing, you can also become a believer of Qingping Temple. You can become a Taoist believer of Wo Temple in the secular world and practice at home. You will be equally accepted."
Grandmaster protects his memory."
"I do." Wang Zheng said immediately.
He has decided to invite an ancestor from Qingping Temple back to worship him, so that he can cultivate his Taoism, body and mind.
Chi Yuan Lao Taoist said with a smile on his face: "Fu Sheng Boundless Heavenly Lord, the Patriarch will bless you."
Qin Liuxi, on the other hand, has completed the power of spreading faith. Her face is a little pale, but her spirit is not sluggish. She only smiles, combs Teng Zhao's hair, wraps it with a scarf, and says: "From now on
From today on, you are my fifth generation direct disciple of Qingpingguan, and I will give you the dharma name Xuanyi."
Teng Zhao bowed down and said, "Xuan Yi pays homage to Master."
Qin Liuxi gave Wangchuan her hair again, corrected her identity, and gave her the title of Xuanxin.
"When you enter our school, you should respect your master's teachings, be friendly to your fellow students, and respect our rules. Anyone who breaks the rules will be punished, ranging from punishment to deprivation of one's cultivation and expulsion from the school. When walking in the secular world, you should abide by the Tao and keep your heart, and punish evil spirits.
The right way is not to do evil because it is trivial, and do not do good because it is trivial." Qin Liuxi looked at the two of them coldly and warned: "Those who rebel against our sect will be punished no matter how far away they are."
Teng Zhao and Wang Chuan prostrate themselves on the ground: "Disciple, I will obey my master's teachings."
"Go and pay homage to your ancestors and uncles." Qin Liuxi then asked the two of them to go forward and pay homage.
She stood up from the ground, her body swayed slightly, but she quickly stood still, looked up at the Patriarch, and let out a long breath.
It’s so strange, I don’t know why the mobile app sometimes displays several you as 伱, but the computer page displays them normally. I didn’t type them on purpose, I thought I made a typo, but I looked at it, and it’s you on the computer, not 伱~
