Chapter 30 Apprenticeship
In this way, I followed the old Taoist away from Jiushan Village where I had lived for nine years and embarked on a new journey.
This trip also completely changed my destiny.
I followed the old Taoist and left my home. I entered the county town for the first time and took the train for the first time. After a long and long journey, we arrived at a big city called Yanbei.
Although the old Taoist dressed in a ragged manner, he looked like a beggar. He lived in a pretty good place. He actually had a very beautiful courtyard and a very vicious servant in his house.
The man looked at him in his thirties, bearded and tiger eyes. When he looked at him, he felt that his eyes were full of murderous aura, which made people shudder.
The first time I saw this person, I felt a little scared.
However, although this man was vicious, he was very polite to me and my master.
As soon as they met, the man stepped forward and bowed and said, "Master, young master, you are back."
The master did not look at him more, but waved his hand and said, "Hu Zi, prepare for it and give the apprenticeship ceremony later."
Hu Zi responded, walked towards me, and said, "Young Master, come with me."
Huzi led me to a room where the prepared foods were all good things I had never eaten before. I was so hungry that I was so angry that I swept the wind and swept away all the food on the table.
After I had enough food and drink, Hu Zi walked up and said, "Young Master, you are so lucky. You can be accepted as an apprentice by your master. Do you know that there are not a thousand or eight hundred people who want to become disciples, but the master only chose you, which means you must have something extraordinary."
I don’t know if there are any outstanding things. Anyway, I always get the last place in the class and my grades have always been very stable.
This may be what he said is extraordinary.
Afterwards, Hu Zi came over and explained some of my procedures for becoming a disciple.
At that time, I was only nine years old, and it took me a few hours to record what Hu Zi told me.
This is really hard for a nine-year-old child.
After explaining all these things clearly, Hu Zi took me to a hall in the Sihe Courtyard.
When I saw the old Taoist again, he had already put on a new outfit, a brand new Taoist robe, and seemed to have taken a shower, smelling it smelled fragrant.
To be honest, I followed this old Taoist to this place and was often rolled down by people.
I don’t know how long it took for this old man to take a shower. The smell on his body was a bit eye-catching. When we were on the bus, the seats on both sides of us were empty.
It was just for the sake of apprenticeship that the old master specially dressed up.
Not to mention, after such a dressing up, this old Taoist still looks a bit like a fairy-like figure.
Hu Zi brought me to the old Taoist and made me kneel down.
The old Taoist first glanced at me and then said in a deep voice: "Wu Jie, before becoming a disciple, I have something to say to you, "You join my Qimen Sect, it is destined to be against you, and you must not violate it. Since you join my Qimen Sect, you must abide by the rules of the Qimen Sect. First, you cannot learn what you have done yourself and do evil things; second, respect your teacher and respect your Tao, and do not disobey your master; third... I have not thought about it yet, let's talk about this later..."
I heard this and was stunned for a moment. You didn't think about it. What did you say? It seems that you were not fully prepared to accept your apprentice.
Even the tiger's body was shocked and his face became a little embarrassed.
After a pause, the old Taoist said again: "My Qimen is the first Feng Shui school in China. It is profound and profound, and it is infinitely mysterious. You will know this after you learn it. However, our sect has always been a single lineage, which means that a master can only accept one apprentice. I have been waiting for you for decades, and now I have finally obtained it. It is not in vain that I have worked hard. If you accept an apprentice in the future, I will remember to only accept one. Have you heard it?"
"I remember." I said.
"Okay, let's start." The old Taoist waved his hand.
Then, I knelt on the ground according to what Hu Zi had told me before, and said stutteringly: "The way of teacher is great... I teach you a skill to put in one skill. It is a strategy to feed the family. If you are rich, you will benefit the world. If you are poor, you will be able to keep yourself alone. It has been passed down from generation to generation. Now I am a fool born in Wu Jie. Fortunately, I met a famous teacher. I wish to enter the school, receive karma and nourish your body, and cultivate the right path of virtue. Since then, although I have divided my masters and disciples, I have a father and son, and I should be respectful to my masters. I will receive teachings and will never forget them. I will never regret it. I will follow it here to show my solemnity."
These were all what Hu Zi taught me before. I finally remembered it. I said it very stiffly and stuttered, and sometimes I forgot the words. Hu Zi whispered to remind me, and finally finished memorizing this paragraph.
I actually have different opinions on the words "love comes from itself, and there is no regret" among these words.
It’s not my intention to take him as his teacher. I don’t know why I became his apprentice in a confused manner.
As soon as these words were finished, Hu Zi brought a document written before and asked me to press a handprint on it.
From then on, I have told this old man.
Then, Hu Zi suddenly said loudly: "The apprentice gave the master a tribute to you."
As he said that, Hu Zi handed me a lot of things, including celery, lotus seeds, red beans, dates, longans, etc.
I handed all these things to the old Taoist.
All of these are all said. Celery means diligence and learning, hard work and hard work, lotus seeds are hard-working, and painstaking teaching. Red beans means good luck and longan means perfect merit...
When I handed these things to the old Taoist, Hu Zi immediately shouted again: "Please give a tribute to the apprenticeship."
"Once you become a disciple of the teacher, you will benefit others and gain."
"Two visits to teach and teach, educate and resolve doubts."
"I wish you three thanks to your teacher, and the heaven and earth are the lessons."
Hu Zi recited it and I kowtowed.
After kowtowing, Hu Zi brought a bowl of tea and I handed the bowl of tea to the old Taoist. After drinking this bowl of tea, I will become his apprentice from now on.
After the ceremony was completed, the old Taoist smiled and nodded, saying, "Wu Jie, you will be my disciple from now on. After the incident, you will be the next head of my Qi Sect."
It would be fine if I didn’t say this, but I would be so depressed when I said this.
I'm so embarrassed to say what the head is.
He is the head of the sect, and he is extremely arrogant.
Our Qi Sect has a single lineage in history, and the head of the sect is me and my disciple is also me. I am the only one inside and outside. What is this broken leader?
After becoming a disciple on the first day, nothing happened, so Hu Zi took me down to rest.
I am in my own room. After the night is quiet, I feel lonely and miss homesome.
I don’t know how my grandfather is doing, and whether my parents miss me. After I left, Xiaopang’s injury has improved. Are he still walking sideways like a crab?
