"To enter the Taoist tradition, poor Taoists still need to understand the subject and take you to enter the Taoist records of the direct disciples, but laymen do not pay so much attention."
Registered disciples are really not taken seriously...
"Pindao can directly accept you, enroll you in the Taoist Book of Fenguan, and just inform the main body of the news."
Is this a promise?
"Meet Master!" Lu Zheng rolled his eyes and kowtowed immediately.
Don't say nonsense like modern people don't kowtow, you know, do as the Romans do when you're in the country?
"Don't worry, no matter how careless you are, you are still a registered disciple of Baiyunguan. I will ask your senior brother to place an incense table in the Sanqing Hall later, teach you the precepts and Dharma, and naturalize you."
"yes!"
Lu Zheng stood up with a smile and pushed the wooden box in front of him to Taoist Master Ming Zhang, "Just in time, this sword will be used as a disciple's apprenticeship ceremony."
Taoist Master Mingzhang stroked his beard and smiled. In fact, he didn't take Lu Zheng's gift to heart. As a wealthy man from a county town, what magic weapon could Lu Zheng get?
However, although courtesy was light on affection, Lu Zheng's sincerity still satisfied Taoist Master Ming Zhang.
"Okay, thank you very much for being my teacher."
Taoist Master Mingzhang casually opened the wooden box, took a look at it, and was startled.
The black buffalo leather scabbard has flowing cloud patterns on the surface, and the brass decoration is exquisite and delicate. It can be seen that it was carved by skillful craftsmen.
Taoist Master Mingzhang's eyes flashed, he reached out and took out the sword from the box, and held the hilt with his right hand.
"choke!"
The cloud pattern made steel, which directly dazzled Taoist Priest Mingzhang's eyes.
"What a sword!"
"Buzz!"
The jade seal shook slightly, and wisps of light of luck kept pouring in. Lu Zheng was dumbfounded and counted silently until he reached twenty-nine.
"What's going on?"
"Isn't this too much?"
"Taoist Master Mingzhang, uh, why did master's luck change so much?"
"No matter how powerful the cloud pattern sword is, it's just a foreign object, isn't it?"
"It looks like he is just happy, and he doesn't seem to have any enlightenment, right?"
Taoist Master Ming Zhang pulled out a piece of his hair with his backhand, put it on the blade of the sword, and then blew it gently.
Silently, the hair was divided into two sections by the sword blade.
"Blow your hair, Lu Zheng, where did you get such a good sword?"
After confirming the master-disciple relationship, Taoist Master Ming Zhang directly started calling Lu Zheng by his name.
"Hey, disciples have their own channels."
Lu Zheng didn't want to lie, so he just stopped telling it. At the same time, it was also a small test for Taoist Master Ming Zhang.
After all, it's just a sword.
"Okay, I won't ask if I am a master." Taoist Master Ming Zhang couldn't help laughing, "But your apprenticeship ceremony is really heavy. Such a sharp weapon would be worth at least three thousand guan if it were sent to Zhongjing."
"As long as Master likes it."
"Okay!" Taoist Master Mingzhang nodded with satisfaction, "You are determined. Such a sharp weapon can be used as a teacher to protect yourself."
Lu Zheng's eyes flashed, the treasure of self-protection...
Will Taoist Master Ming Zhang be able to escape death by relying on this sword in the future?
In this way, such a large amount of light of luck can be explained.
"Master, I know that this sword is indeed a magical weapon for mortals, but is it also very precious for practitioners?"
Taoist Master Ming Zhang stretched out his hand and broke the spine of the sword, feeling that the sword was elastic and tough.
"It's very precious." Taoist Master Mingzhang nodded.
"An ordinary blacksmith may not be able to smelt such a furnace of steel in his lifetime.
Although a cultivator's weapon refining is more sophisticated than ordinary blacksmiths, it still consumes a lot of energy and mental energy, and they will not make a career out of it.
There are the largest number of ordinary practitioners in the world, but not everyone can have a magical weapon to protect themselves."
"Of course."
Taoist Master Mingzhang changed his tone, "After all, this kind of magical weapon is just an ordinary weapon. It cannot be blessed when refining, and it has no supernatural powers after being refined. It is useful for ordinary practitioners just because of its sharpness, but it is not useful for real practitioners."
The experts are powerful, but they have no effect at all, so..."
"So we can't rely on external things, we still have to be strong ourselves."
"The boy is teachable!"
Lu Zheng blinked and knew the value of the patterned steel sword he brought from modern times.
Even among middle and low-level practitioners, it is still very valuable!
If placed in Zhongjing, it would be worth three thousand guan!
…
At noon, Baiyun Temple and Sanqing Hall.
Regards!
Kowtow!
Gift tea!
Discipline!
Register!
Teaching!
Finally, because he was of the Yuan generation, Lu Zheng also got his own Dharma name, Yuan Zheng.
After a large-scale door worship ceremony, in addition to obtaining important scriptures and spells, Lu Zheng also recognized the Taoist priests from Baiyun Temple in Tonglin County.
The most important people, besides Taoist Master Mingzhang, are his junior Taoist Master Mingjun, and the other is Taoist Priest Yuanjing, a direct disciple of Baiyun Temple who was accepted by Taoist Master Mingzhang.
These three people all have names recorded in Baiyun Zhuan, and their cultivation levels are relatively high. Although the other seven or eight people are also resident Taoist priests, they only have Fenguan Taoist records.
Strictly speaking, his identity is basically the same as Lu Zheng's.
However, if they improve their cultivation level, they are also qualified to enter the subjective category. If Lu Zheng does not want to stay and become a Taoist priest, the upper limit is the same.
There is actually nothing to say about the precepts of Baiyun Temple. As long as you strictly adhere to the moral bottom line of the 21st century, you will be a good disciple of Baiyun Temple.
What surprised Lu Zheng the most was the teaching. As expected, he was the one who had good things. Taoist Master Ming Zhang gave Lu Zheng three books.
A copy of "Baiyun Changshuo Qi Refining Sutra".
A copy of "Five Talismans".
A copy of "The Art of Moving Clouds and Fog".
The first one is a Qi-refining scripture, the quality of which is much higher than that of "Ziwu Jing Gong Breathing Method". It talks about transporting Qi in the body, absorbing the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, supplementing it by improving physical fitness, exercising the soul, and at the same time cultivating the quality of Qi.
It is also far better than the "Ziwu Jing Gong Breathing Method".
The second part is about the method of drawing talismans using true energy. The talismans record a total of five kinds of talismans: peace talisman, qi-seeking talisman, exorcism talisman, divine movement talisman, and breath-collecting talisman. It integrates early warning, tracking, and combat.
The five functions of running away and hiding are a systematic set of talismans.
When Lu Zheng received the talisman, Taoist Master Ming Zhang also gave him a stack of yellow paper and a box of cinnabar.
The third part is a small magic that can be transported over long distances. Baiyun Temple disciples can use the air of clouds and mist as a carrier to pick up objects from a distance.
Next, Taoist Master Mingzhang explained the difficulties of the three books to Lu Zheng.
"As for the practice, although each school has different paths, refining Qi and refining Spirit is the fundamental foundation. This "Baiyun Changshuo Qi Refining Sutra" focuses on refining Qi, supplemented by refining Spirit. It is of high quality. If you want
Practice well, and when your Qi practice reaches a certain level, the follow-up techniques will be given to you in the contemplation."
"yes!"
"I don't think you intend to stay at the Taoist temple permanently, so if you have any questions, you can go up the mountain at any time. Even if I'm not here, your uncle Mingjun and senior brother Yuanjing can explain it to you."
Lu Zheng laughed twice and thanked him again.
"Okay, let's go back." Taoist Master Ming Zhang waved his hand, "By the way, if you come back in the future, you don't have to give me merit money."
"Yes, Master."
Lu Zheng nodded in agreement, but he agreed that he would not give any money when he went up the mountain in the future, so naturally he would have to bring some other gifts. He couldn't always come to the door empty-handed.
