The residence of the Taoist Master of Silence is not far from Linghu Heng's residence, only about ten meters away. It is also covered with green bamboos and looks particularly quiet. Linghu Heng followed Wu Zhen. After entering the room, Wu Zhen just wanted to go out and Silence
The Taoist Master stopped him and said, "Ah Zhen, you should also listen here." Wu Zhen always listened to his master's words. He immediately stopped when he heard the words, stood aside, stood upright with his hands down, and listened carefully to the Taoist Taoist Master's teachings.
Linghu Heng was a child after all, so he couldn't keep his composure and said as soon as he opened his mouth: "Old Taoist priest, I don't want to stay here with you. I want to go down the mountain to find my adoptive father."
The Taoist Taoist of Silence was not angry, he just said calmly: "Oh!"
Linghu Heng felt a little frustrated when he heard him say "Oh" in a nonchalant manner, and asked tentatively: "Old Taoist priest, did you hear clearly? I mean I want to go down the mountain!"
Taoist Taoist Silence said: "If you don't want to practice, no one can force you. If you want to go down the mountain, go down the mountain! But not now, you have to wait until five years later."
Linghu Heng was a little crazy: "Why do we have to wait until five years later? Can't we do it now?"
Taoist Taoist Silence said calmly: "The mountain gate has been closed, and the Ancient Formation of Ten Thousand Swords has been activated. Without the master's order, you can't get out. What's more, the mountain road is dangerous and you have no spiritual power. If you make a mistake, you will fall into pieces.
mud."
Linghu Heng said: "I'm not afraid, I want to go down the mountain to find my adoptive father!"
The Taoist who kept silent was quite good-natured, and said, "You won't be able to get down, unless you wait another five years."
Linghu Heng knew that the old Taoist priest would not lie to him, saying that five years would be five years. He suddenly lost his mind and just stood there blankly, with two lines of tears streaming down his face. Taoist Taoist Silence was not soft-hearted and said: "
If you want time to pass faster, I have a solution."
Linghu Heng wiped his tears and thought: "My foster father said that men should not shed tears easily. How could I cry in front of this old Taoist priest!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "What can I do?"
The Taoist Taoist of Silence said: "When you study here in Qingzhu Forest, five years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Linghu Heng thought he wanted to learn the art of cultivating immortals by himself, but he didn't expect that the old Taoist priest actually asked him to study, which was beyond his expectation. Linghu Heng thought for a while and said: "Old Taoist priest, don't you want to
Do you want me to be a cultivator?"
Taoist Taoist Taoist Silence still replied calmly: "If you want to learn, I will teach you!" Linghu Heng looked at the old Taoist priest and said, "What if I don't want to practice?"
Linghu Heng said: "That bullshit cultivation is not necessarily that difficult. Old Taoist priest, if you teach me, I will learn it. But if I don't practice well, it's not that I can't learn it. It's because you didn't teach me well, you know?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Taoist Taoist Taoist's eyes, and then disappeared. After a while, he slowly said: "With your qualifications, you can definitely learn well. If you are willing to learn, I will give you all my money to teach you!" The person who said this said
At that time, Taoist Taoist Silence looked extremely solemn, and Linghu Heng also felt it. But he still couldn't let go of the idea of going down the mountain, and said, "What if I want to leave in five years?"
The Taoist Taoist of Silence looked at him, then closed his eyes and said calmly: "It's up to you."
Linghu Heng secretly thought: "It's good to be able to practice here for five years. It won't be too late to go down the mountain to find my adoptive father in five years. By then I will still know the magic of immortality, so no one will dare to bully me, right? Well, that's it.
It’s settled!” After making the calculation, Linghu Heng raised his head and said to Taoist Taoist Taoist Silence: “Then I will practice here for five years. You can’t hide your secrets and only teach the big guy and not me!”
The Taoist Taoist opened his eyes and looked at him, then closed them again: "I said I would give him everything I have."
Linghu Heng said: "That's good! Old Taoist priest, I can't sleep now, you start teaching me!"
The Taoist Taoist kept his eyes closed and said: "Now is not the time, you should read some books first. Do you know the words?"
Linghu Heng said with some pride: "Of course I know it!" In fact, what he said was not entirely true. The old fortune teller also taught him some simple words, but he didn't study hard. So far, he can only write his own name.
Just a few simple words. Taoist Taoist Silence said: "Well, you first go and read my Taoist mantra. If you understand it, I will teach you the art of cultivating immortals."
Linghu Heng snorted: "What's so great about that? Just take a look!" After saying that, just as he was about to leave, the Taoist Taoist spoke again: "A Zhen, take him to the study to read. He doesn't understand you.
Teach him."
Wu Zhen had been standing upright. Hearing the instructions given to him by the Taoist Master, Wu Zhen did not dare to neglect and said, "Yes, Master."
The Taoist Taoist said: "Go out and close the door."
Linghu Heng didn't say much and stepped out directly. Wu Zhen bowed and stepped back, slowly closing the door. Then he said, "Junior brother, come with me." After saying that, he walked to a small bamboo house next to him.
.
Linghu Heng naturally had Xiao Jiujiu in his heart and said to Wu Zhen: "Big guy, the old Taoist priest asked me to read a book, but I don't want to read it. You have learned the exercises, right? Otherwise, how about you teach me?"
Wu Zhen waved his hands one after another and said: "You can't do this, Master will scold me! In fact, it's good for Master to tell you to read books. I also read books for a long time before practicing! There is a lot of knowledge in the books. I
You only know a lot of things by reading books. Junior brother, don’t worry, if you read the book well, Master will soon teach you the exercises. Unlike me, I am very stupid. Master took me a long time to pass the exam.
!”
Linghu Heng curled his lips and said: "If you don't teach, you won't teach. What's so strange! I don't believe that I can't even finish two books based on my talent!"
While they were talking, the small bamboo house had arrived. Wu Zhen lit a candle and placed it on a table in the bamboo house. He said, "Junior brother, this is our study room in Qingzhu Forest. You can take your time here and take a look." After that, he
Turning around to leave, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and said: "Junior brother, what Master is studying are the three books of "Proving the Way", "Original Mind" and "Tao Ru". You should read these three books first, and the rest slowly.
Wait and see. I'm so sleepy, let's go to bed first." After saying that, he walked to the small bamboo house not far away. Linghu Heng watched Wu Zhen enter the house, put out the candle and fall asleep, and then came back to look at this place.
Bookstore.
The bookstore is not big, with only five bookshelves, a desk, a chair, and hundreds of books. Linghu Heng walked to the nearest bookshelf and looked for the "Proving the Way", but found that the bookshelf was as clean as new. He must have been there from time to time.
Someone was cleaning, this person couldn't be the old Taoist priest, and there was no one in the Green Bamboo Forest, so it was naturally Wu Zhen. Linghu Hengxin said: "Does the big guy come here every day? I can't compare to the big guy in immortality, so what about studying?
Can't fall behind!" This aroused Linghu Heng's competitive spirit. In order not to lose to Wu Zhen, he had to study hard.
Soon, Linghu Heng found the book "Proving the Way", turned to the first page, and started reading. But soon Linghu Heng discovered that there were many words in it that he didn't recognize. "This is difficult to handle, these
It recognizes me but I don't recognize it. What should I do? You can't ask the old Taoist priest for advice, right? Not even the big guy. I said I couldn't lose to him. What should I do? What should I do?" Linghu Heng was anxious.
I started to learn, but there was nothing I could do. After all, literacy needs to be taught, and no one can be born with it.
Linghu Heng thought hard, but couldn't think of a way, so he had to cheer up and read on. However, reading like this made his eyes sleepy. After a while, Linghu Heng lay on the table to find Duke Zhou, and did
I had a dream. In the dream, Linghu Heng was still following the old fortune teller, running around, and the old fortune teller didn't pay much attention to him. But Linghu Heng felt very happy, it was the happiest day in his life.
I don’t know how long I slept before Linghu Heng woke up. The candlestick was still swaying. Linghu Heng sighed and thought to himself: "A dream is still a dream after all!" At this time, the old Taoist priest's voice sounded next to him: "You can't read.
, why forcefully pretend?"
Linghu Heng was so excited that he suddenly woke up. He looked back and saw who else was behind him other than Taoist Taoist Silencer? Linghu Heng said harshly: "I want you to take care of it!" Taoist Taoist Silencer stopped talking. Linghu Heng picked up the bag again.
He had read "Proving the Way", but he still didn't understand the word. Linghu Heng had no choice but to ask the Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Master Qin Minghui.
Hu Heng also knew that what he learned was his own, so he stopped being weird and started studying seriously.
Linghu Heng learned quickly, and the old Taoist priest followed his pace and explained everything one by one without any impatience. In this way, the whole night was spent in this teaching. When the cock crows, a book
Linghu Heng has already studied less than half of the book "Proving the Way", which is not too thick. The old Taoist priest said: "Are you sleepy? If you are, you can go and rest."
Linghu Heng was interested in learning at this time, so how could he be sleepy? He said, "Old Taoist priest, I'm not sleepy. If you are sleepy, you can go and have a rest." The old Taoist priest shook his head. Linghu Heng's eyesight suddenly appeared.
When he came out, he really had a photographic memory. As long as he read it carefully two or three times, he had already memorized the scriptures in his mind. Although the old Taoist priest had no expression on his face, he was secretly amazed in his heart and taught more carefully.
.
Wu Zhen had already gotten up. After making breakfast, he went to practice on his own without disturbing the old Taoist priest and Linghu Heng. Linghu Heng continued to read after having breakfast. The old Taoist priest ate
He got very little, just a bowl of white porridge. Because Linghu Heng kept asking him questions, he didn't have much time to eat.
Two days passed like this, besides eating, sleeping and reading, Linghu Heng's questions became fewer and fewer, but more and more profound. The old Taoist priest answered the questions as always. At this time, Linghu Heng was not a newbie.
His head turned green. He already understood a lot about the principles of cultivation and was about to finish reading three books.
Just when Linghu Heng was reading in ecstasy, an uninvited guest came - a middle-aged man wearing the costume of the Ancient Sword Sect. Wu Zhen recognized that this senior brother was the one who sent Linghu Heng here, but he didn't know what he was going to say this time.
What? I saw this senior brother found the old Taoist priest and said to him: "Uncle, master asked me to tell you that the apprenticeship ceremony will be at noon today. Please take the new disciple to the main hall to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony."
The Taoist Taoist said calmly: "I know, thank you for your hard work."
The middle-aged man didn't say much. After saying goodbye, Yu Jian went to the main hall.
Taoist Taoist Silence returned to the bamboo house and said to Linghu Heng: "Follow me to the main hall to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony."
Linghu Heng put down the book "Dao Ru" and said: "What kind of apprenticeship ceremony is there? Why do you do so many things? I recognize you as the master, but you can recognize me as the apprentice?"
The Taoist Taoist of Silence rarely shouted loudly: "Presumptuous!"
Linghu Heng had never seen the Taoist Taoist Taoist get angry before, so he quickly said: "Old Taoist priest, are you angry? Isn't it just an apprenticeship ceremony? Can't I just go there?"
The Taoist Taoist of Silence ignored him, but said to Wu Zhen: "A Zhen, you look after your home, I'll go and come back." Wu Zhen said respectfully: "Yes, Master!" Then, there were not many Taoists of Silence.
Said, he picked up Linghu Heng and Yujian flew towards the main hall. (To be continued)
