The old Taoist stood up, smiled slightly and said: "Yes, but strictly speaking, it's because you have a filial son. Now it's time to fulfill his promise. The old Taoist cured your disease and saved your life, so you can
The price you have to pay is to make your second son a seasoned disciple. Do you have any objections?"
My mother looked at me and saw that I had no objection and nodded to her. She said excitedly: "Old god, it is his blessing that you can think highly of my son. As a mother, naturally, I
I agree. You saved my life and you are my benefactor. It would be much better for my second son to learn some skills from you than for him to get into a fight at school!"
The old Taoist priest smiled and said: "That's very good, little baby, are you convinced now?"
Now I no longer dare to doubt the old Taoist priest's ability, so I said sincerely: "Old immortal, I, I am willing!"
The father quickly said: "Er baby, why don't you kneel down to worship me!"
I walked up to the old Taoist priest, knelt down with my legs bent, and shouted, "Master, I'm here, my disciple Zhu Gexiu, kowtow to you."
After saying that, I was about to kowtow, but the old Taoist priest stretched out his hands to gently support me, and I felt like I couldn't kowtow, as if there was an invisible wall in front of me.
Now I really believe that my master is not an ordinary person, he must be a real old god. Please
From then on, I followed Master and learned his skills.
Gradually, I learned some of Master’s deeds from him.
The master's name is Qingxuan. He told me that he has lived for three hundred years. When he came to Candle Village this time, he would not leave again because he calculated that he would leave this world in five years. He didn't want to
His unique skills were lost in this way, so in these five years, he will teach me carefully and pass on all his skills to me.
I am afraid no one would believe what a three hundred year old Taoist priest said, but now that I have become the apprentice of the old Taoist priest, I have to believe it.
Master also told me that there really are immortals in this world. Those like him who have cultivated to the point where their physical bodies can live two to three hundred years can be called earthly immortals.
In the hierarchy of Taoist immortals, immortals are divided into five levels: ghosts and immortals are inseparable from ghosts, human immortals are inseparable from humans, earthly immortals are inseparable from the earth, gods and immortals are inseparable from gods, and heavenly immortals are inseparable from heaven.
Naturally, I don't understand this. After all, the knowledge I learned in school from childhood to adulthood was all scientific knowledge and did not include these feudal superstitions. Discuss
But now, not only have I become the apprentice of the old god, but I also have to learn various Taoist techniques from him, and the key subject among them is the ancient Zhu Youshu.
Master told me that if I learn the ancient Zhu You technique, I will not have to worry about food and drink in the future. Treating people's illnesses is a great merit and will help my cultivation.
When I first started learning from Master, Master was very good and never beat or scolded me.
But I was really too stupid, and after studying for a long time I still didn't get to the basic level, so the master started to be very strict with me.
Maybe the master's time in this world is running out. If I can't learn his skills, then his skills can't be passed on. According to what the master said, one day he will go to heaven. In Taoism
This is called feathering and ascension.
I learned those things from my master secretly, because now is a special period, and this kind of feudal superstition must not poison the flowers of the motherland, so I usually go to school, and only after school, there are
You can only learn from the master on weekends, during winter and summer vacations.
The longer I follow Master, the more I realize that Master is really amazing. Not to mention fortune-telling and fortune-telling, they are just trivial matters. The most powerful thing about Master is curing diseases and saving people. He has reached the point where he doesn’t even need to recite spells or draw talismans.
, you can use the Zhuyou technique to treat the patient.
No matter how serious the illness is, it can't be cured as long as Master takes action. This may be the realm of the miracle doctors written in the textbooks. Even if they are out of breath, they can save their lives.
Time flies very fast, and I have turned from an elementary school student to a junior high school student. Although I still don’t quite understand many things, I have also learned a lot from Master’s skills, but I haven’t mastered them all well.
When I perform the Zhu You Technique, the effect is far inferior to that of my master. Not only do I need to draw talismans and recite incantations, but many diseases cannot be cured and I can only cure some minor illnesses.
But Master told me that I am still young now, and when I grow up, I will gradually improve. But I can see that Master is also helpless, maybe my qualifications are still a little bit behind.
Master may not be able to find anyone with better qualifications than me. After all, not everyone can learn this ancient Zhu Youshu.
In this way, five years passed quickly, and I turned sixteen.
It's a pity that my academic performance is not good and I didn't even pass the high school entrance exam.
Not long after I got my test results, it was time for Master to leave.
That day, the master called me over and placed a few side dishes and a jar of shochu in his dilapidated room.
In fact, when I came in, I remembered what Master said five years ago, that he only had five years left.
Now it’s time to say goodbye. Master saved my mother’s life and taught me so many skills. Soon our master and apprentice will be saying goodbye. I couldn’t help but feel a sore nose and tears welling up in my eyes. I started
Spin.
Master smiled at me and said, "Zhu Er, how long have you been my master?"
"Five years, one month and three days!" I blurted out without thinking.
I remember this day so well that I don’t need to think about it at all.
The master nodded and said: "Very good, what skills can I teach you?"
"In ancient times, the art of fortune-telling, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, etc. can also be called the five fortune-telling arts of mountain doctors!"
The master asked again: "What is Shanshu?"
"Shan Shu is a Taoist cultivation method. The other four are ways to help the world. Only Shan Shu cultivates one's own spirit and body, including various methods of alchemy cultivation, spells, and boxing techniques. Ultimately, the jade liquid returns elixir and is refined to form
The five qi move towards the Yuan, and the three yangs gather at the top. When the power is over, the form is forgotten, and the fetus becomes an immortal by itself. The yin is exhausted and the yang is pure, and there is a body outside the body. The body is expelled and becomes an immortal, transcending the ordinary and becoming a saint. You can even become a Da Luo Jinxian!"
The master nodded slightly.
I am quite satisfied with my answer.
Knocking his fingers, the master picked up the wine bowl and said to me: "If you drink this bowl of wine, our master and disciples will die..."
I know that this day will come sooner or later.
And I kept remembering the date, but I didn't expect that this day would actually come.
A bowl of wine went down my throat, and the spicy feeling made me feel extremely sad again.
Putting down the wine bowl, Master looked at me kindly and said: "Zhu Er, you have to remember that you are learning Taoism, you are entering the Taoist sect, and you are the successor of the first disciple, Taoist Qingxuan. From now on, you are not here.
You are an ordinary person, but you are already a Taoist disciple!"
