Zhuo Tengyi flicked his sleeves, and a ray of white light suddenly came out and shot straight ahead. Zhao Ran felt that the scene in front of him seemed to be shaking. When he looked at it again, the ravine was still a ravine, and the woods and rocks remained unchanged, as if everything had changed.
It has not changed. But Zhao Ran has opened his eyes, and he can clearly see that the flow of Qi in the world in front of him is not real, as if someone deliberately covered it with a thin curtain.
This is an extremely clever deception, no, it is an extremely clever illusory formation. Even Zhao Ran's eyesight cannot see through it. Just when he wanted to sort out and distinguish it carefully, Zhuo Tengyi had already grabbed him.
He pulled his sleeves and stepped forward.
Taking one step forward, he suddenly stepped into the dark night; with the second step, his eyes lit up, and he felt like he was inside the thick clouds; with the third step, Zhao Ran finally entered a brand new world.
In the distance are green mountains, with waterfalls on high cliffs nearby, and the gently undulating hills are lush and lush, surrounded by mist. The waterfalls flow down and become a gurgling stream, circling around the hills.
There are pavilions, pavilions, flower corridors, waterside pavilions, rockeries and strange rocks standing in an orderly manner... This is a picturesque world.
Zhao Ran stared blankly at everything in front of him, and his heart was filled with excitement. This is the blessed land of cave heaven. This is where practitioners live and practice. Compared with the world outside, it is so different!
After waiting for Zhao Ran to watch for a long time, the two uncles of the Zhuo family patted their mounts, and the two horses galloped into the nearby woods with joy. The old donkey rubbed Zhao Ran's neck. Zhao Ran understood its intentions and said with a smile: "
You go too, I'll call you when I go out." Then the old donkey burst into the forest with great joy and went to look for the mounts of the two master uncles of the Zhuo family.
Zhuo Tengyun said to Zhuo Tengyi: "Take your time, I'll report back first." After saying that, he walked away quickly, passing through a pavilion in an instant, and his body was hidden behind a small bridge and flowing water.
Zhuo Tengyi led Zhao Ran forward slowly, crossed the bridge, walked through the corridor, and crossed the pond. As he walked, he introduced: "This is the Wenxiang Pond, next to it is the Baihua Slope, with the constant fragrance of flowers... This is the White Crane Pavilion, and these white cranes in the pond
He is the apprentice of Master Uncle Danhe..."
With that said, the two came to a wide square. Directly opposite a magnificent palace was written "Sanqing Palace", with "Tianshi Palace" on the left and "Huode Xingjun Palace" on the right.
.To the northeast and northwest are the Bell Tower and Drum Tower.
On the way here, no one was seen, but when they arrived here, they met several Taoist priests in plain robes, some old and some young, each holding a box and a bamboo basket. When these Taoist priests saw Zhuo Tengyi, they bowed their heads and said, "I have seen Zhuo Tengyi."
Yellow Crown.”
Zhuo Tengyi nodded and said: "This is Zhao Zhiran, who has entered the Taoist realm as a disciple of Senior Brother Jiang. He is entering the palace for the first time today, and he is here to consecrate him. You guys should also meet him."
Those Taoist priests bowed their heads to Zhao Ran again: "I have seen Taoist Zhao."
Zhao Ran didn't know what to call him, so he had to return the courtesy and said: "Several of you have mercy."
The elders among several Taoist priests reported: "Zhuo Huangguan, Elder Yan has already asked Taoist Zhao to wait here. The elders will immediately give Taoist Zhao an urn. We will go in and arrange it."
, I will not accompany you anymore. Please forgive Zhuo Huangguan and Taoist Zhao."
Zhuo Tengyi nodded, and Zhao Ran said politely, "Thank you."
Several Taoist priests filed into the Sanqing Hall carrying their things, leaving only Zhao Ran and Zhuo Tengyi waiting at the foot of the stairs. Zhao Ran asked: "Are those senior brothers just now...or are they uncles?"
Zhuo Tengyi smiled and said: "He is a layman of Huayun Hall, not a practicing person. But he has also received an ultimatum."
Zhao Ran was curious: "Can secular people enter Huayun Pavilion?"
Zhuo Tengyi said: "There are fire masters in the jungles of the ten directions, and they are also indispensable in the palaces and pavilions. There are many obstacles along the way to practice, and there is absolutely no time and energy to spend on daily trivial matters. If you don't reach the realm, you still have to eat and drink.
Sa, these things are left to the lay people to do. Some of these lay people are orphans picked up by the monks, and some are relatives left behind by their predecessors. Unfortunately, none of them have the talent to practice. Those who are willing to go out will be given a fortune, and those who are unwilling to go out will be given a fortune.
You can stay and do some daily living... You can be commensurate with their senior brothers, but they will address you by your title. This is a habit left over for hundreds of years. It’s not that we monks look down on them. I don’t think so either.
Don't despise them, but treat them kindly. After all, maybe their ancestors have made great contributions to the Taoist sect, and maybe one day, your descendants will be one of them."
Just as he was talking, people were seen arriving at the Sanqing Hall one after another. Some were standing on the field in front of the hall, standing in a row on the left and right, and some were stepping into the Sanqing Hall. Zhuo Tengyi quickly pointed out that Zhao Ran was tightening his robes.
Suddenly hearing the sound of bells and drums in the Bell Tower and Drum Tower, Zhuo Tengyun came out of the Sanqing Hall and shouted: "Please invite the Junshan Temple to congratulate Zhao Zhiran and enter the Sanqing Hall to confer the entombment!"
Zhao Ran quickly stepped up the stone steps to the nine-level square, passed through the Taoist priests lined up in front of the temple, bowed on the futon outside the threshold of Sanqing Hall, crossed the threshold and entered, and then stood at the Sanqing Taoist Ancestral Seat.
Bow down, offer incense, and give eulogies.
At this time, Zhao Ran had the opportunity to look around the hall, and saw five high-crested Taoist priests wearing apricot-yellow robes standing on the northeast side of the Sanqing Statue. The youngest ones looked to be over forty or fifty, but Zhao Ran knew that the monks’ faces were very different.
There are countless people who look like they are in their thirties, but they may have already passed their seventies.
On the side of the east chamber, there were about ten people standing, all wearing Ge Qing Taoist robes. Dazhuo and Xiaozhuo were among them. Zhao Ran also saw Zhu Zhimeng, who was standing in the twelfth position with a strange expression on his face.
looking at himself.
Zhao Ran secretly smiled at Zhu Zhimeng, secretly Brother Dao would also come in one day!
There were only three people in the west wing. The first one was about thirty years old and had a calm face. He was smiling and nodding to himself. The remaining two looked not much older than Zhao Ran, and they were also looking at Zhao Ran curiously.
.
Then I heard an apricot-yellow-robed Taoist cough and say: "Zhao Zhiran, please pay homage to the master first, and follow Jiang Tenghe's disciples to accept the disciples on your behalf."
I saw the Taoist priest headed from the west side coming to Sanqing's seat. He smiled at Zhao Ran and said, "Master cannot come out to see you in seclusion, so I'm asking you to accept disciples on your behalf. I am Wei Zhizhen, you can call me senior brother."
"
Zhao Ran was a little disappointed, thinking that this cheap master really didn't want to see me, and he didn't even want to show his face. He was disappointed, but he couldn't be rude. He quickly took out the apprenticeship note he had written long ago and finished chanting on the spot.
Then presented it to Wei Zhizhen.
Wei Zhizhen accepted Zhao Ran's apprenticeship letter and talked about the precepts of Jiang Tenghe's family, which was nothing more than not to do evil. After saying that, Zhao Ran quickly offered incense. Wei Zhizhen inserted it into the incense burner. Zhao Ran took out a gift and presented it to Wei Zhizhen.
I also collected it on my behalf.
Zhao Ran originally prepared a good medicinal herb that was ranked high in the "Zhilan Spiritual Medicine Manual", but since Jiang Tenghe didn't even show his face, he naturally spared the treasure and only took out the ginseng that was less than a century old - in fact, it was
Very good.
What Zhao Ran performed was a formal apprenticeship ceremony for registered disciples, including asking for hexagrams, performing rituals, conferring Dharma names, drinking water to convey salvation, and awarding scriptures and magical instruments. It was quite simple and efficient. Wei Zhizhen returned a gift on behalf of his master - Zhao Ran
I think it was probably something that the senior brother took out by himself, and the ceremony was over.
The gift Wei Zhizhen returned was a talisman. Zhao Ran had seen it in the book "Zhengyi Talisman". It was a fourth-level spiritual talisman. The name of the talisman was "Golden Earth Flame Circle". It was a protective defensive talisman. Fourth-level.
The talisman should be considered quite valuable and can only be refined by monks above the mage. After receiving this gift, Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel a little ashamed for his petty arrogance just now. At the same time, he looked at Wei Zhizhen in confusion. If this
The talisman was made by Senior Brother Wei, so wouldn't this Senior Brother have already entered the mage realm?
After the apprenticeship ceremony was over, Zhao Ran was considered to be included in Master Jiang Tenghe's family, but he was not a formal disciple, just a registered disciple.
Wei Zhizhen introduced the two young Taoist priests standing next to Zhao Ran, one named Yu Zhichuan and the other named Luo Zhiqing. Zhao Ran called out "Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother".
The three formal disciples under Jiang Tenghe's sect are arranged in order, but Zhao Ran is not, so Wei Zhizhen and others call him "Junior Brother Zhao" instead of "Fourth Junior Brother". If Jiang Tenghe accepts more formal disciples in the future, the new disciples will be called "Junior Brother Zhao".
Zhao Ran is "Senior Brother Zhao", and Zhao Ran can call the other person "Fourth Junior Brother".
After the apprenticeship ceremony was completed, Zhao Ran was regarded as a member of the Huayun Pavilion, and he could be assigned the post of enthronement. So everyone left the Sanqing Hall and entered the "Huode Xingjun Hall" on the east side of the square. (To be completed.
