The First Sword of the Earth

"Learning from a teacher? With me? Ah... I really don't know how to answer when you suddenly say that. I didn't expect that the high aura that has been hidden for many years will be seen through by a young man like you..."

The Taoist priest smiled indifferently, and his words were a little endless, but his eyes were very clear.

This made Wang Sheng feel uneasy.

Haste makes waste, and Wang Sheng didn't dare to knelt down and kowtowed to ask for a teacher here. He could only look back with his most sincere eyes when the Taoist priest looked at him.

The tall and thin Taoist looked away, and asked with a smile: "If you want to learn martial arts, there are gymnasiums that teach martial arts on this mountain."

Wang Sheng said earnestly, "Master Daoist, I came to Wudang Mountain to seek immortality and Taoism, to learn from a master, and to practice with Master. When I saw Master Daoist, I knew I had found it."

The tall and thin Taoist frowned, "If you say that learning martial arts is still reliable, if you open your mouth and shut your mouth, you are cultivating immortals and Taoism...Little layman, have you really seen someone who knows how to do Taoism?"

Wang Sheng had already thought of how to deal with it, and said seriously: "My disciple is ignorant. He has been studying Taoist classics when he was in school. I think that Tao is a kind of spirit, a different understanding of heaven, earth and the universe, and it is also the spiritual sustenance I want to pursue. .”

"Well……"

The tall and thin Taoist sneered for a while, and without much persuasion, he pointed in the direction of Zixia Palace, "Is there no Taoist priest over there?"

"Yes, yes," Wang Sheng didn't know what to say for a while, "It's just that I searched all over Wudang Mountain but couldn't find the master I wanted to worship, but here I met you, Taoist priest... You, I know that the head is not an ordinary person, so I ask the Taoist head to accept the disciple no matter what."

Wang Sheng also felt a little ashamed of wearing thousands of clothes and flattering but not wearing clothes.

The leader couldn't help laughing, and slowly stood up from the rattan chair. Wang Sheng saw that this great master who would become famous in a few years was more than a head taller than himself at this time.

Uh, I won't fully open until I'm nineteen...

The Taoist priest stood tall, with drooping shoulders, and his breath was steady. Although his image was a bit sloppy, he had an unspeakable demeanor.

Maybe, this is the real monk.

Even if he has never had the energy to embark on the real path of cultivation, but he has honed himself day by day for decades, he still has a kind of aura emanating from his bones.

This kind of invisible accumulation, as long as the vitality of heaven and earth pours into itself, it will usher in a very terrifying explosion!

Wang Sheng made up his mind that this master would bow down no matter what...

Listen to the Taoist priest who sells martial arts cheats say softly:

"You young man is quite interesting, you are full of talk, and you are still picky about your apprenticeship, and what is even more ridiculous is that you even have a crush on me, the Taoist priest?

Countless people come to Wudang Mountain every year to worship teachers and seek Taoism. You only need to go to the mountain to find a master to name you and offer some incense, and you will naturally be able to practice on the mountain.

I'm just a name in Wudang Mountain, but I don't know how to teach my disciples to recite scriptures and worship gods. Although I have a disciple, I don't care about her on weekdays. "

Although the Taoist said so, he looked at Wang Sheng's face and thought that this seedling was pretty good.

'This young man seems to have suffered a catastrophe, but at this time he has already been blessed by the catastrophe. Perhaps, because of this catastrophe, he was somewhat resistant to the original living environment, so he thought of becoming a monk. '

In this way, the Taoist actually thought that Wang Sheng could get started.

Wang Sheng gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Master Dao, this disciple is stupid and doesn't know what to say. I sincerely wish to follow Master Dao to practice, to cut my hair and accept the precepts of Taoism, and to be a pure mountain Taoist priest."

"Oh?" The priest frowned slightly, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

Wang Sheng nodded with a serious face: "Yes, this disciple knows."

The Taoist priest thought for a while, sat back on the rattan chair, and asked in a tone of voice: "Do you have parents?"

"There are parents, they are also coming, just behind, the Taoist priest will be able to see later.

"

Wang Sheng turned his head and glanced, his parents had already set off to go down.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Sheng said again: "My parents are healthy now, and the disciples will not have too many worries in their hearts when they practice in the mountains. When they are old, the disciples will serve them filially."

"Well, having your parents accompany you here is considered a bit of sincerity... I thought it was just another guy who ran away from home after watching too many novels and movies. Emperor Zhenwu's tent."

The Taoist priest complained a few words, and said leisurely: "It is not impossible to ask for a teacher. Taoist priest, I am not good at Taoism, but it is not too forced to bring an apprentice. I have three questions. If you If you can answer, let your parents come over and talk to me."

"Yes!" Wang Sheng almost grinned.

Nowadays, most of the young people who go to these famous Taoist mountains are just to learn martial arts, and very few of them become monks when they are young.

Wang Sheng took a deep breath and looked at the priest with burning eyes.

The Taoist priest twitched his lips, "Don't look at me like that, I'm a certified Taoist priest."

Wang Sheng also smiled, quickly restrained his smile, bowed his head and said, "Excuse me."

"First question, you say you want to practice Taoism, so in your opinion, what is Taoism?"

"Disciple... I don't know what Tao is, so I want to follow Master to understand what Tao is."

Wang Sheng recalled the speech he had prepared before, and said every word and every word very seriously: "Based on my disciple's understanding at this time, Dao is nature, order, and the rule of law.

Cultivating the Tao is nothing more than cultivating the mind, body, Dharma, and nature. If you can stay in the Tao, you will be able to feel at ease.

There is an old saying: If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.

If a disciple can follow the master to understand and understand the Tao, and to swim freely in the Tao, it should not be in vain for this life and this trip. "

After finishing speaking in one breath, Wang Sheng didn't know whether he said too much or too little, and waited anxiously.

Not in vain of this life, not in vain of this trip?

The priest muttered a few words, rubbed the center of his brows, and scolded with a smile: "You can be my master... Haha! Where did you get these great principles? And you said you didn't read too many novels!"

Wang Sheng could only scratch his head, smiling honestly.

"I'll ask you again, the second question!"

Daoist priest suddenly let out a soft drink, changed his previous lazy and tired face, and stared at Wang Sheng with lightning-like eyes.

Wang Sheng wanted to dodge subconsciously, but his heart trembled slightly, and he calmly looked at the Taoist priest.

He came here to learn from a teacher, although some motives were impure, but he never had the slightest evil intentions, he was frank and innocent, and he didn't need to be afraid of such scrutiny.

"Excuse me."

"What are the five arts of Taoism?"

Wang Sheng answered calmly: "Mountains, medicine, fate, fortune-telling, and divination. Mountains are Taoism and immortality, and nowadays they mostly refer to Taoism and martial arts; medicine is Taoist medicine. As the saying goes, ten ways and nine medicines are like this..."

Hundreds of words in a row, talking with eloquence, without pause.

"Yo, it seems that you really worked hard," the Taoist priest smiled happily.

Wang Sheng heaved a sigh of relief.

'Don't talk long' is very scary when it's fierce.

He was really afraid that the priest would slap himself to death if he disagreed with him...

After all, more than ten years later, this person has just soaked in vitality for more than ten years, and he is already an immortal giant who can break the cloud road with one palm; in various official and unofficial lists and master inventories, he will always be in the top ten , The existence of a place in the top five!

"Young man, I really like you a little bit, tsk tsk," the Taoist priest rubbed his chin and chuckled, "Okay, the third question."

What should I ask?

Taoist school? Taoist history? Or should he be tested on Huang Lao's skills and Lao Zhuang's words? "Tao Te Ching", "Lao Zi Xiang Er Zhu"?

Wang Sheng has already started to prepare the answer, and the Taoist priest cleared his throat, and calmly asked a question that made Wang Sheng almost explode on the spot...

The Taoist priest smiled and said: "You want to worship me as your teacher, then if I become your master, and your father and I fall into the water and almost drown, who do you save first?"

The corners of Wang Sheng's mouth kept twitching, and the Taoist priest looked at Wang Sheng with a smile, with a look of 'you can't be troubled by a small sample'.

This question seemed absurd and funny, but it was actually very tricky, because he couldn't save anyone first.

To save the master first is to be unfilial to your parents. There is a saying in the Taoist school, which is exactly 'the unfilial cannot be an adult'.

Save your parents first? Wouldn't that just lower the master's head for no reason, calling the master like a parent, but making this choice is obviously a 'difference between heart and mouth'...

For a moment, cold sweat broke out on Wang Sheng's forehead.

If you answer according to your heart, you will definitely save your parents.

The Taoist priest urged again: "Who will be saved first?"

"Save... my dad."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Taoist priest's smile suddenly faded, and he sat there staring at Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng was also a little confused, and quickly thought of a reasonable argument.

Before he could explain, the Taoist priest in front of him suddenly stood up, turned around the broken bookstall, passed Wang Sheng, and took two steps forward.

Wang Sheng was a little confused, turned his head and glanced, it turned out that his parents had already arrived.

"The two lay monks have invited you."

After the Taoist priest greeted him, he bowed in a decent manner, and said in a clear voice:

"Qingyanzi, a poor Taoist, is a monk in this Wudang Mountain. This is my Taoist certificate. Please take a look, two laymen. Here is a big seal from the Taoist Association, which can also be found in the archives in the mountain. My Profile……"

Qing Yanzi, it really is this big boss.

Wang Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then grinned, knowing that he had passed the test, and answered the three previous questions.

Listen to Qing Yanzi said: "This little layman wants to worship me as a teacher to practice. I, um, I, the poor Taoist, saw that he is quite Taoist, and I also have the idea of ​​​​receiving disciples. It is only a monk to practice, and parents must agree. But, what do you two think?"

"Become a monk? This is not acceptable!"

Hearing what his mother said, Wang Sheng knew that today's apprenticeship would be impossible.

I have no choice but to find a way to convince my parents, and then ask my parents to accompany me to find Bu Yanzi as a teacher.

How to persuade? In the worst case, Wang Sheng would stop being so shameless in front of his parents, cry, make trouble, and go on hunger strike!

After finally discovering such a big tree as Qingyanzi, it must be tied tightly!

Maybe it was because of Wang Sheng's look of disappointment, Wang Sheng's father pulled his wife and called Qing Yanzi to the side, "This Taoist priest, let's talk here, talk here."

Wang Sheng wanted to follow, but was stopped by his father's gesture, so he could only stand beside the suitcase and wait.

Alas, to fight against the outside world, we must first settle down inside. The ancients did not deceive me.

A few minutes later, Qing Yanzi came back with a happy face, Wang Sheng's parents also followed behind the Taoist priest with a smile of "I can finally rest assured now".

Wang Sheng almost already knew what the outcome of the trial would be.

"Wang Sheng?" Qing Yanzi called him.

Seeing the big man looking at him with a smile, Wang Sheng quickly replied: "Yes, the disciple is here."

"Since your parents don't object to your practice, then you can stay on the mountain temporarily. Accompany your parents to the hotel at the foot of the mountain to gather for another day. Tomorrow morning, you will wait for me here."

After saying that, he drifted away, not even closing this broken bookstall.

What the hell?

Wang Sheng glared at his own father, then at his own mother, and the couple immediately smiled kindly.

Dad waved his hand, "Let's go son, go down the mountain and find a hotel to stay for one night!"

"Dad, Mom? What's going on?" Wang Sheng scratched his head for a while, and pinched his thigh, gasping for breath in pain.

"Let's go," my mother came over and took Wang Sheng's arm, "Why don't you go up the mountain to practice Taoism, parents agree!"

Listen to this, how can it be so unbelievable with just a punctuation mark.

There is a conspiracy.

There must be a conspiracy here!
