Since He Yingqiu also wanted to find a successor for the Tiandao Sect, Xu Ran felt relieved. He clasped his fists at He Yingqiu and said, "Disciple Xu Ran, meet the master."
He Yingqiu nodded, then pointed to the broom in the corner.
Xu Ran didn't know why, but he still walked over and picked up the broom. After looking at it carefully, he couldn't see anything profound. He asked suspiciously: "Master, is there anything special about this broom?"
"Don't you see that the ground is a little dirty? Sweep it quickly," He Yingqiu said, and then walked towards the inner door.
Xu Ran: “…………”.
Xu Ran was speechless, but he still picked up the broom and swept the floor honestly. After cleaning, Xu Ran put the broom back to its original position.
Then I walked into the inner door. The interior was very monotonous, with a simple bed surrounded by various supernatural supplies, such as incense, candles, talismans, lanterns, etc.
On the wall opposite the bed, there is a statue enshrined. The statue is a man wearing a monk's robe, the surface is dyed with red paint, and there is an incense burner next to it.
At this moment, He Yingqiu was holding three lit incense sticks, worshiping with a pious expression. After bending down three times, he inserted the lit incense sticks into the incense burner.
"Boy, come here." After He Yingqiu finished offering the incense, he waved to Xu Ran.
Xu Ran came over.
"What's your name?" He Ying asked.
"My junior's name is Xu Ran"
"Although I have decided to accept you as my disciple, whether the Patriarch agrees or not is another matter. Now you can offer three sticks of incense to the Patriarch. Only if the Patriarch agrees can you enter the Tiandao Sect."
After a pause, He Yingqiu said: "Although our Tiandao sect is only a branch of the Maoshan sect, it can be regarded as the orthodox of the Maoshan sect. Our ancestor is San Mao Zhenjun, who became a flying immortal, and the master of the first generation head of our Tiandao sect,
That is Mao Ying, one of the Three Mao Zhenjuns, and the statue in front of you now is Grandmaster Mao Ying."
Xu Ran picked up three sticks of incense from the side, lit them, and then bowed respectfully towards the statue and said: "Junior Xu Ran, I hope to join the Tiandao sect, learn Taoism sincerely, carry forward Maoshan Taoism, and return the favor to the world."
Please agree with Patriarch Mao Ying'.
After finishing speaking, Xu Ran inserted three sticks of incense into the incense burner.
Then, Xu Ran took a few steps back.
Strangely enough, after Xu Ran stepped back, the burning speed of the three sticks of incense suddenly became faster, even faster than He Yingqiu had just burned. After a while, it had already bottomed out.
Xu Ran looked at this scene with a different look on his face, feeling a little confused. Could it be that the idol could really represent the patriarch? Could it be that there was really a pair of eyes looking at him somewhere in the dark.
He Yingqiu on the side showed a smile and said: "Master Patriarch has absorbed your incense, which means he agrees with you to join our Tiandao Sect and become a disciple."
"He Yingqiu, the 20th generation unfilial disciple of the Tiandao Sect, was so stupid that he did not allow the Tiandao Sect to flourish and almost ended the inheritance. I feel guilty and hope that the ancestor will forgive me."
He Yingqiu bowed to the idol again, then turned to look at Xu Ran, smiled and said: "From today on, you are the twenty-first generation successor of my Tiandao sect."
Looking at He Yingqiu's smile, Xu Ran felt like he was entering a pyramid scheme.
"Now, let me tell you the history of our Tiandao sect. The first head of our Tiandao sect was from the Maoshan sect. He was a disciple of the founder Mao Ying. However, due to some reasons, he withdrew from Maoshan.
The Tiandao sect was established, but it is still the Maoshan orthodoxy, so what we learn is also the Maoshan technique."
He Yingqiu explained a lot to Xu Ran, which also allowed Xu Ran to understand the disciples of the Tiandao Sect. He Yingqiu was the twentieth generation successor of the Tiandao Sect and a disciple of Mao Xiaofang, the nineteenth generation successor of the Tiandao Sect.
As for the entire Tiandao sect, apart from the first generation leader, only the 19th generation disciple Mao Xiaofang's Taoism was more advanced and he gained the reputation of "Southern Mao and Northern Horse".
That is to say, there is Dao Changmao Xiaofang in the south, and there is the Ma clan of exorcist dragons in the north.
Mao Xiaofang really made the Tiandao Sect famous for a while.
However, after Mao Xiaofang's death and the generation of He Yingqiu, the Tiandao sect gradually became lonely. For some reasons, He Yingqiu withdrew from the world and was unwilling to interfere with the affairs of the world.
He opened a game arcade, adopted a few ghosts, and made a living by selling sesame oil, talismans, etc.
"Our Tiandao sect has about this history," He Yingqiu said, then turned around, pulled out a box from under the bed, and started tinkering with it.
Finally, he took out a book that was covered with dust and blew on it. The dust was everywhere. He Yingqiu turned over a few pages and breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, there are no insects."
"No, this is Maoshan Shu. Take it and see for yourself." He Yingqiu threw the book in his hand to Xu Ran.
Xu Ran took it with a dark look on his face and speechlessness.
Xin said, this is how you treat our Tiandao sect’s precious Maoshan ghost-catching original book. It’s too casual.
Under the orange light, there was still dust, which made Xu Ran cough and quickly walked out.
"Master, you want me to learn on my own, why don't you teach me yourself?" Xu Ran turned around and said before going out.
"I don't have time, you can study on your own." He Yingqiu waved his hand and said, "The Grandmaster has recognized your identity, and you can learn it by studying on your own. If the Grandmaster has not recognized your identity, you won't listen no matter how I teach you."
I understand, but if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.
Xu Ran felt that he had been cheated. This master was a bit irresponsible.
But there was nothing I could do. I came outside the door, held a small stool, and looked at it honestly.
Not long after, He Yingqiu also walked out, then sat in front of an arcade machine, turned on the arcade machine, and shouted towards the inner door: 'Apo, come out and play games with me.'
"Hey, Uncle Qi, I'm coming."
An old voice appeared in the air, and Xu Ran immediately felt a gust of wind blowing, and then another arcade machine next to him automatically turned on.
"It's still the same bet. If I lose, I'll give you two more sticks of incense. If you lose, do something for me," Qiu Shu said.
"Okay, no problem, deal" came the ghost's voice in the air.
Then, He Yingqiu happily played arcade games with a ghost.
Xu Ran on the side looked dumbfounded and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He Yingqiu said he didn't have time to teach him, but it turned out he just played games.
Moreover, He Yingqiu excused himself from teaching him Maoshan Taoism, saying that he didn't have time to teach him Maoshan Taoism and just let him learn it by himself. Instead, he started playing games in front of him.
Is this really good?
Xu Ran had no choice but to open the book honestly and look through it.
"Task 1, learn Maoshan Taoism"
"Time, one year"
At this time, Xu Ran suddenly found that there was an extra paragraph in his mind, which was the mission issued by the bracelet. However, Xu Ran, who had experienced it once, seemed very calm.
