Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters whether to apprentice
In the main hall, there are sixteen and one-meter-long candles placed on both sides, and these candles are still inserted on the iron frames, as if there are sixteen people standing on both sides holding torches, it is very neat and solemn.
.
Past these candles, there are two wooden pillars. On the wooden pillars is a pair of calligraphy couplets. The first couplet reads: Be cautious in your life. You will capture the South seven times and march north six times. How will the five feet be destroyed and the nine will be cut down?
Willing to be able to obey and accept the teachings
The second line is: Ten times the praise and honor, the eight formations are famous, the two rivers are blessed, the elites from all directions are united, and the three points of merit belong to the heroes.
As soon as he saw this couplet, Qin Yu knew that it was written by Mr. Wolong, and all the allusions in the couplet came from Mr. Wolong.
Directly above the hall, there is a desk. Above the desk, there is a portrait. In the portrait, a middle-aged man in white clothes and a turban is standing on the mountain.
At the top, looking into the distance with a smile on his face, this man is none other than Mr. Wolong.
"Young Master, the last time the old master's soul came to my Xu family, he left a message for me to convey to the young master."
Xu Yan, who followed Qin Yu in, looked at Mr. Wolong in the portrait, and said to Qin Yu in a solemn tone: "The old master said: "The original inheritance was meant to be by chance, but chance is an accident. I believe that with my little friend's intelligence,
, I have also seen some clues, and my initial move was also helpless. If the child does not want to accept it, he can leave, and it will definitely not interfere with the child's life in the future."
"Although my little friend and I have a inheritance relationship, there is actually no title of master and disciple. If my little friend is unwilling to accept it, I will not blame him. However, if my little friend and I have a master-disciple relationship, he can act as a master and disciple in my portrait.
Etiquette, the pros and cons, you can think about it by yourself..."
Xu Yan relayed Mr. Wolong's original words to Qin Yu word for word. Qin Yu fell into silence after listening.
"Young Master, the old master has told you to make your choice after thinking alone without being influenced by the outside world, so I will retreat first."
Xu Yan said to Qin Yu, slowly exited the main hall, and quietly closed the door. He and the elders of the Xu family stood at the door waiting for Qin Yu's decision.
Only Xu Yan knew what Mr. Wolong said, so when the elders of the Xu family saw their family leader exiting, they all looked at him with doubts.
"Silence, I will tell you what happened when the young master makes a decision." Xu Yan made a silence gesture, and the elders of the Xu family suppressed their doubts and did not ask.
In the hall, Qin Yu looked at the portrait of Mr. Wolong in front of him and Mr. Wolong's kind smile. At this time, Mr. Wolong was like a father, looking at him with loving eyes, and seemed to encourage Qin Yu and said: "
Make your choice based on your heart."
At this time, Qin Yu was also caught in the war between heaven and man. He fully understood the meaning of what Mr. Wolong asked the Xu family to tell him. It was entirely a chance that he received Mr. Wolong's inheritance in Zhugelu, and it was not Mr. Wolong's choice.
If there are others like him who walk in front of the stone tablet, they will also inspire the inheritance at the appropriate time. It can be said that obtaining the Zhuge Neijing is his own opportunity and has nothing to do with Mr. Wolong.
In addition, there is another meaning in Mr. Wolong's words. The sentence "I will definitely not interfere with the children's lives in the future" refers to Mr. Wolong's layout.
If you don't plan to recognize Mr. Wolong as your teacher, then Mr. Wolong's layout will no longer have anything to do with you, and from now on, things related to the blue stone gate will not have anything to do with you, as long as you don't take the initiative to touch it.
To be honest, if he hadn't had the epiphany in Wajia Village the day before yesterday, when he heard this, Qin Yu would have chosen to bid farewell to this whirlpool without hesitation, because the area covered by the blue stone gate is too wide, and it is different from the blue stone gate.
Any relevant person or force can crush him to pieces. Qin Yu just wants to live a peaceful life with the people he likes and his relatives.
But the epiphany in Wajia Village made Qin Yu understand that some things cannot be solved by avoiding or turning a blind eye. There is no free lunch in this world. He obtained the Zhuge Neijing and became a genius envied by everyone in the metaphysics world.
But you don’t want to make any effort, how is this possible?
Wealth can be found in danger, as the old saying has already made these principles very clear.
Moreover, without Mr. Wolong's Zhuge Neijing, Qin Yu couldn't imagine what his life would be like now, whether it was to work nine to five in a certain company, or to win over Meng Yao and then be beaten by Meng Yao's brother.
Woolen cloth?
Without the Zhuge Neijing, all of the above things might have happened. It can be said that the Zhuge Neijing was the starting point that changed his destiny.
And if he just withdraws and leaves, how will he be different from those ungrateful villains?
Looking at the portrait of Mr. Wolong, Qin Yu suddenly felt great pride in his heart. Since Mr. Wolong is not afraid and spent thousands of years planning the layout, then why can't he accompany Mr. Wolong to gamble. Moreover, Qin Yu believes that besides Mr. Wolong
, and there are also some other people who have also joined in.
The old Taoist who appeared at the blue stone gate, Bai Qi who walked out of the grave, and the Xu family... Mr. Wolong is not fighting alone, and I am not alone in my Taoism.
"Mr. Wolong, let us master and disciple work together."
Qin Yu glanced at the portrait with sparkling eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and without looking back, he said loudly: "Clan Chief Xu, I have already thought about it."
Xu Yan, who was waiting outside the door, was shocked when he heard Qin Yu's voice coming from the main hall. He quickly opened the door and walked in.
"Young Master, have you decided?" Xu Yan asked with some uncertainty.
Xu Yan half understood what the old master left, but he knew one thing. The young master and the old master did not have the real title of master and disciple. Although he did not know why the young master did not have the title of master and disciple.
He will be inherited by the old master, but the secrets in this are not what he should care about. What he cares about now is whether the young master is willing to worship the old master as his teacher.
"Clan Chief Xu, I would like to ask, what are the etiquette for becoming a disciple?" Qin Yu turned around and asked Xu Yan with a smile.
"Young Master, have you thought about it?" Hearing Qin Yu's words, Xu Yan's face showed joy and he asked again.
"Well, I've decided."
"Haha, that's great. The old master will definitely be very pleased when he finds out." Xu Yan couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he became serious again and replied seriously:
"This apprenticeship ceremony is not very complicated. Young Master only needs to kneel down under the portrait of the old master and perform the apprenticeship ceremony."
"Well, I understand."
Qin Yu nodded. If he followed the ancient etiquette of apprenticeship, there would be a cumbersome procedure. First, he would worship the ancestor and the portrait of the ancestor, then he would kneel three times and bow nine times like the master, and he would also have to give six
The ceremony is completed, and then the master reads out the sect rules, and finally leads the disciples to worship the ancestor. Only after this set of procedures can the apprenticeship ceremony be completed.
Metaphysics is a traditional cultural profession in China. Like all traditional cultural professions, the metaphysics community pays more attention to the etiquette of apprenticeship. Only those who have passed the etiquette of apprenticeship can be called "disciples" and truly inherit the fire.
Those who become disciples can only be regarded as "named disciples".
In the world of metaphysics, after performing the apprenticeship ceremony, it is equivalent to having a master's inheritance. If you need to learn from others, you can also become a master, but that is called worshiping the teacher, or learning as a teacher. However, the master of the Xinhuo inheritance can only
There can be more than one teacher who "learns from many schools of thought". Regardless of whether he is a student or a master, his disciples are all respectfully called masters.
"Young Master, the old master said that if you want to become a disciple, you only need to place three sticks of incense in front of his portrait. There is no need to worship the ancestor."
After Xu Yan finished speaking, he picked up three sticks of incense from the desk on the side, lit them and handed them to Qin Yu. Qin Yu took the incense and stood in front of the portrait with a solemn expression. After bowing respectfully three times, he put the incense in it.
In the incense burner on the desk.
Then, he bent his legs upright, knelt in front of the portrait, and kowtowed meticulously according to the apprenticeship ceremony.
You should know that the traditional way of kneeling and worshiping is divided into nine kinds of worship: "The first is Jishou, the second is Pause, the third is empty head, the fourth is vibration, the fifth is auspicious worship, the sixth is ominous worship, the seventh is odd worship, the eighth is praise worship, and the ninth is
Worship."
Jishou is the most respectful and important among the nine worships, and Qin Yu used Jishou at this time.
Kneel down on your knees, put your left hand on top of your right hand, cup your hands on the ground, and then slowly lower your head to the ground, keeping your hands in front of your knees and your head behind you for a while.
After nine consecutive bows, Qin Yu stood up. Xu Yan looked at Qin Yu with a smile and said: "Young master, according to the old master's instructions, after performing the apprenticeship ceremony, you asked me to go to your place, and you come with me.
"
"Going somewhere?" Qin Yu glanced at Xu Yan suspiciously, but didn't say much. He followed Xu Yan out of the main hall, and a large group of people followed him to the backyard.
"Young Master, passing through this bamboo forest is the place that the old master told me to do. However, my ancestors of the Xu family have family rules. Xu family disciples are not allowed to cross this bamboo forest, so we can only trouble the young master to go there alone." Xu Yan.
Pointing to a bamboo forest in front of him, he explained to Qin Yu.
"Um."
Qin Yu didn't say anything more, and stared at the bamboo forest for a while, then walked directly towards the bamboo forest path, while Xu Yan and his group stood at the entrance of the bamboo forest, silently watching Qin Yu's leaving figure.
"The things that our Xu family has guarded for nearly a thousand years are finally returning to their original owners. This is really inexplicable." An elder from the Xu family sighed.
Compared with these old people, the eyes of the young people of the Xu family are full of curiosity. Ever since they became sensible, they have known that this bamboo forest is a forbidden area for the Xu family. If the disciples of the Xu family dare to go there privately,
If you break into the bamboo forest, you will be kicked out of the Xu family directly. Therefore, none of these young people know what is behind the bamboo forest?
PS: What is behind the bamboo forest? Jiu Deng doesn’t know, so I’ll wait for Jiu Deng to figure it out... (To be continued)
