When Jian Xi returned to Guiyuan Hall with her Taoist robes and Taoist scriptures, the apprenticeship ceremony had been completed.
There's just something wrong with the atmosphere.
The uncle looked at his younger brother with a strange look, a bit like looking at a rare bird and exotic animal. There was a mixture of surprise and admiration, as if he was lamenting the mysterious creation of the Supreme Being.
Jian Xi comes in.
Fan Xuan looked serious, flicked his fly whisk, and said to Lu Jing: "This is your third uncle and second apprentice, Jian Xi and Jian Shaoqing. He is also the magistrate of Mian County's Ministry of Education, Culture, and History, and is also in charge of government affairs. From now on, if you need anything in life, you can contact him."
"Yes. Please give me some advice, senior brother."
Lu Ding nodded and bowed to Jian Xi.
Jian Xi smiled and helped him up, and said: "Junior brother, don't be polite. Once you enter the door, we are a family. Junior brother can let his uncle be included in such an unusual way. He must be extremely talented. Maybe he will surpass me in the future. You and I can help each other."
that is."
"Senior brother, thank you."
Lu Jing is a soft-spoken person. If you are good to me, I will be good to you. If you dare to try against me, I will try my best to kill you!
Jian Xi's attitude was kind, and Lu Jing was not cold-faced, but looked like brothers and sisters.
Fan Xuan smiled and said: "Go down and settle down. It will take a hundred days to build the foundation. I will give you three months to practice the "Guiyuan Palm". After three months, I will make a decision based on your performance."
A true disciple of a true disciple should not only be a martial artist, but also be able to assist in offering wine, handle government affairs, and be able to read and write.
Even if you are illiterate, specialize in martial arts, and do work such as catching bandits, you still need to be able to organize and have a plan.
True disciples don't have to take the lead or be the leading soldier, but they can't make fun of other people's lives either.
This sounds very normal to Jian Xi. After all, there is no precedent for refining Qi through three rounds of fists. This process takes time.
But in Lu Jing, this is his protection.
Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.
As soon as Lu Jing entered the door, he was a true successor. He was already very conspicuous. If he let others know that he had refined Qi for a quarter of a minute and skipped the physical training state, he would definitely be hated by others. Plus, there was an assassin who assassinated Liu Yong hiding in the dark.
, the purpose is unclear, it is better to hide for three months and secretly accumulate strength.
"Yes, disciple, resign."
Lu Jing and Jian Xi respectfully exited Guiyuantang.
Fan Xuan withdrew his gaze, turned around, bowed to the statue of Taishang Daozu, and took out a gold-paper booklet from his sleeve.
The cover of the booklet was actually made of gold foil, with a faint glow of treasure, and was extraordinarily luxurious.
Fan Xuan solemnly opened the gold book, took out a pen and ink, and wrote neatly on the first blank page: "Lu Jing, Lu Dongting".
at the same time.
In the "Dao Qi Everlasting" Hall of the Tianshi Dao General Altar in Motianling, under the gilded statue of the Taoist ancestor, on the golden table, a scroll of purple bamboo slips is enshrined.
At this time, Lu Jing's name automatically appeared under the character Fan Xuan on the fourth bamboo slip.
On the bamboo slips are recorded from right to left the names of the true disciples of the Zhengdao dynasty, from the first generation Celestial Master Zhang Ling, the second generation Celestial Master Zhang Heng, the third generation Celestial Master Zhang Lu, the successor master Zhang Wei to Liu Yong, Fan Xuan and even them.
The next generation of true biography, Luo Feng, Jian Xi, etc., are all on the list!
However, the names of Zhang Ling, Zhang Heng, etc. are pale gold, the names of Zhang Lu, Zhang Wei, and Fan Xuan are white, but Liu Yong's name is blood red!
This scroll of bamboo slips is the rare treasure of the Celestial Master's Tao - [Tao Disk], a miraculous thing that can sense the life and death of the person's name on it.
In the main hall, Zhang Yulan, a contemporary saint of Tianshi Taoism and Zhang Lu's sister, was meditating on a futon. She noticed the Taoist disk was moving. When she got up and took a look, she was a little surprised.
"Fourth Senior Brother actually accepted a disciple..."
Zhang Yulan knew Fan Xuan's nature well, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his eyes are higher than his head. There were so many masters in the sect who recommended their close associates to be his true disciples, many of whom had good qualifications. However, he rejected all of them and rejected them all.
Today I finally have a successor, but it’s rare.
"Qiying."
After thinking about it, Zhang Yulan shouted towards the side hall.
"aunt."
Zhang Lu's daughter Zhang Qiying walked out slowly with a Taoist book. She was of jasper years, with red lips and white teeth. She was wearing a black Taoist robe, which made her skin look like snow. She had an extraordinary temperament, but her expression was blurred, as if she was not yet complete.
When you wake up from sleep, you feel like a child.
Zhang Qiying was stunned for a moment before she covered her hands, took a step back, and looked at Zhang Yulan strangely.
Zhang Yulan shook her head in amusement. This girl has excellent Taoist qualifications. She can understand the Taoist scriptures in a few words. Unfortunately, she is a bit slow in life...
Zhang Lu's mother, first wife, and younger brother Zhang Gui all died in the open and covert battles with Liu Zhang in the past. Zhang Qiying was born to Zhang Lu Xuxian and died early. It was Zhang Yulan who brought them up. They were named aunt and nephew.
Same mother and daughter.
Zhang Yulan looked at Zhang Qiying lovingly, stroked her head and said, "Your fourth uncle has a new apprentice. My aunt wants to give him a small gift to express her feelings. Can you send it to me for my aunt?"
The person who killed Liu Yong is still hiding in the dark, and he is definitely very capable. Fan Xuan was ordered to be in danger and was willing to enter this dangerous situation. The Zhang family cannot turn a blind eye.
It would be inappropriate to give it to him directly, as it would appear to be unreasonable. It is just right to give his disciple a small gift that is neither light nor heavy.
"good."
Zhang Qiying would not refuse her aunt's request, although others could do it... Although the current situation in Mian County was not good and it was risky for her to go, she did not refuse, or she did not think deeply about it at all...
Zhang Yulan didn't want her to take risks, but Zhang Qiying was already sixteen years old, and her temperament had to change, otherwise she would be restrained by others when she became a saint in the future, and she couldn't protect her for the rest of her life.
Zhang Qiying still has a long way to go...
Cao Cao is defeated in Chibi, and may attack Hanzhong in the near future. No matter what the adults think, Zhang Qiying will always grow up. The more experience she has now, the more say she will have in the future.
"I still don't know what realm he is in. We'll talk about elixirs, weapons, etc. later, but there is a small gadget that is suitable as a gift."
Zhang Yulan waved her hand, and a wooden box in the corner suddenly opened, and a black thread flew out of it, fell into her hand, and spontaneously formed into a circle, like a bracelet.
But if you look carefully, you will see that the scales on the "bracelet" are fine and black, and it is actually a slender black snake with its head and tail attached!
"Hiss!"
Zhang Qiying was startled, but she was not afraid. She tilted her head and looked at the little snake, recalling the origin of this thing.
Zhang Yulan said: "This is a strange beast [Ba Snake]. It is a small gadget that Yang Bai presented to the Great Sacrifice a few days ago. It has a universe in its belly, which can hide objects. It is also highly poisonous. I wanted to raise it and use its skin to make a universe bag."
, now... just give it to him as a small gift. These days are not peaceful, and the Ba snake is poisonous, so you can give him a helping hand."
After speaking, he took the cinnabar talisman paper, drew a talisman, and handed it to Zhang Qiying: "Teach him how to use this [spiritual talisman] and help him conquer this beast."
"Um."
Zhang Qiying nodded and put the snake and the talisman into the sachet on her waist - obviously, her sachet was a universe bag.
Zhang Yulan said: "Go ahead. Your martial arts and Taoist skills have come to the fore. My aunt is not worried, but you are simple-minded and should practice hard. Mian County is short of manpower, so you can help under the command of Fourth Master Uncle. In ten days and a half,
, I will pick you up, be careful."
"Um."
Zhang Qiying stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Yulan's hand, showed her a bright smile, turned and left the hall.
Zhang Yulan looked at her frail figure and wanted to change her mind, but she still became cruel when she thought about the future.
When Zhang Qiying left, Zhang Yulan uttered three words with a cold face: "Wind-born beast."
In an instant, the breeze in the hall suddenly picked up, forming a faint raccoon shape, with four paws on the ground, and crawled in front of Zhang Yulan.
Zhang Yulan said: "When Qiying is in danger of dying, rescue her. Before that, don't interfere or reveal yourself."
"Haw!"
The breeze disappeared.
The wind-born beast rushed out of the hall.
Zhang Yulan sat cross-legged again and meditated, closing her eyes.
