Chapter 4 Return to Yuan
Found a treasure...
"very good."
Fan Xuan was excited and helped Lu Jing up. He didn't care about the others for a moment and said warmly: "From now on, you are my true disciple, Fan Xuan. Follow me back to the hospital to finish the ceremony and record the CD! Come on, here.
I'll leave it to you." After saying that, he turned around and led Lu Jing towards the Mian County Government Office.
True disciple?
Lu Jing was surprised. Shouldn't it be a registered name?
Could it be that... "Lu Er" has very good qualifications?
That's not right...
Lu Jing became suspicious.
If "Lu Er"'s qualifications were really so good, why didn't Li Yu and the others react at all? They should have taken a test before buying slaves...
In fact, Lu Jing just wanted to give it a try and became a disciple of Tianshi Dao.
First of all, the previous selection was indeed not difficult. Every time I could select a few registered disciples from the refugee pile, what if I could succeed? Although the registered disciples were no better than the servants, they just changed the people they served.
But at least I can practice martial arts.
Secondly, Fan Xuan has a good reputation. He has been in Mian County for two months and already has a reputation of "kindness". Even if he fails, there will be no loss.
Thirdly, the inheritance of Tianshi Dao is superb, and the "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Jue" is famous in the world. Working towards this is much better than other options...
Of course, if that doesn't work, Lu Jing can also go to Paradise Cave nearby and learn poison and poison techniques.
Their martial arts does not require high qualifications and can be practiced by individuals.
However, once you take that path, you must be extra careful, as subsequent plans will also be affected...
It’s definitely not Lu Er’s fault!
Lu Jing was convinced...could it be because of that eye?
Thinking of this, Lu Jing's heart was shaking. What on earth was that!
"Yes, uncle..."
The disciple named "Denglin" was also shocked by Fan Xuan's words.
He is one of the three true descendants of Liu Yong, the third disciple of Zhang Heng, the former Jijiu. His name is Luo Feng, also known as Denglin.
After two months of dating, Luo Feng already understood the character of his uncle.
He lived in seclusion and advocated rule by inaction, but he suppressed many local big families who oppressed the common people, secretly causing them to lose a lot of money.
For example, Li Yu, the owner of Li Zhuang, spent Zhuangzi's harvest for a year just by asking him to tell fortunes once, and 80% of the money was invested in charity houses as before. He was much kinder and more indifferent than his master.
No arguments, be cautious and prudent.
Now, the master's murderer has not been caught. At this time, there is no way to choose a true story from the refugees with unknown origins...
What if he joins the murderer and plots evil?
Even if it has nothing to do with the murderer, what if it is an undercover agent sent by another sect to break into Tianshi Dao? Shouldn't we know more about it? Do a thorough investigation?
It would be too hasty to just accept it.
"Uncle Master doesn't seem to be such an impatient person..."
Luo Feng was puzzled.
If Fan Xuan knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say: If someone leaves such a good young talent without teaching him or letting him practice any martial arts, just so that he can be released as an undercover agent when he is in his twenties, then that person's brain must be
He was kicked by a donkey! He had to be kicked by a group of donkeys for three months, otherwise he would not be able to do such a stupid thing!
What a waste of resources!
With such a good qualification, if he could cultivate since he was young, his current state would probably be no worse than his. How could he be an undercover agent of another sect?
Fan Xuan strode back, and Lu Jing followed closely behind him.
The registered disciples and refugees sighed as they watched them go away, and looked at Lu Jing with envy.
…
Today's Mianxian County Government Office has been transformed by Tianshi Dao into a place similar to a Taoist temple. Before entering, the smell of sandalwood is already wafting in.
There were many Taoist priests in gray clothes walking back and forth holding bamboo slips, busy but not chaotic.
During the Three Kingdoms era, Taoism had already existed, but Taoism was not yet mature and did not have as many regulations as later generations.
Taiping Dao, Tianshi Dao, etc. are all in the initial stage of Taoism, not to mention that Tianshi Dao also manages local internal affairs, which is even more different from later Taoism.
However, a strict hierarchical system has begun to take shape.
Lu Jing's apprenticeship was not just a matter of enthusiasm, he had specifically learned the ropes.
There are six levels within the Tianshi Tao. Names are established according to the level of the Tao. The most intuitive reflection of the number of Tao is the level of Qi training.
——Those who have just glimpsed the path can refine food into essence and strengthen the body, but there is still no true energy in the body. Such people can only be regarded as "lay Buddhists".
——A layman enters the Tao, refines his Qi, and generates internal power in his meridians. Only then can he be considered a formal disciple, and is called a "ghost soldier".
——On top of the ghost soldiers, Qi opens up the heavenly spirit, opens up the Niwan Palace, and generates spiritual thoughts. This is called "sacrificial wine".
——On top of the sacrificial wine, there is also the great sacrificial wine. Successor masters and even heavenly masters, reaching this level, without exception, all have outstanding martial arts, exquisite Taoism, and possess heavenly Taoism, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
These people wearing gray Taoist robes in the government office are the ghost soldiers of Tianshi Taoism. They are divided into civil and military departments and assist in offering wine and managing local government affairs.
They were all disciples of the former Jijiu Liu Yong. After Liu Yong's death, Fan Xuan succeeded him. He was alone and did not touch this team at all. He just used it.
"Uncle Master."
When Fan Xuan entered the door, the busy people did not forget to salute and looked curiously at Lu Jing behind him.
Ordinary registered disciples don't need to be led in personally by their uncle... Then this person...
"This is your junior brother, my new true biography. Lu Jing, Lu Dongting."
Fan Xuan made a straightforward introduction, and everyone in the courtyard was surprised, just like Luo Feng's reaction.
You went out and received a true biography?
Isn’t this a bit childish?
Lu Jing didn't care about this, he bowed solemnly and said without being humble or arrogant: "Lu Jing has met all the senior brothers."
Fan Xuan nodded with satisfaction. The more he looked at this disciple, the more he liked him. He was humble, polite, and a noble man from a humble family.
Most of those disciples took names and didn't dare to show off at all. Even if it was Liu Yong's true biography, now that the master is gone, they still didn't dare to look at Fan Xuan's disciples. They neatly returned the greeting: "Junior brother."
"Um."
Fan Xuan nodded and said to one of the disciples: "Shaoqing, come with me. Everyone else can perform their duties."
After that, he took Lu Jing and the disciple into the main hall of the administration - "Guiyuantang".
As soon as Lu Jing walked into the hall, he suddenly felt the scent of sandalwood. When he looked up, he saw a statue of the Supreme Lord enshrined in the hall, with an old and kind face, lifelike!
Fan Xuan first asked Lu Jing to kowtow three times to the statue, and then asked the disciple who followed him to recite the Seven Precepts and Thirty-five Rules. Then he walked up to Lu Jing, flicked his fly whisk, pinched his Taoist fingers with one hand, and said solemnly:
"Disciple Lu Jing obeys the order: Today I accept Naer as the first disciple of the four true traditions of the current generation. From now on, I will be allowed to practice the martial arts and Taoism of our sect! You must obey the teachings carefully, do not violate the prohibitions, study diligently day and night, and shine my righteousness with glory.
A lintel!"
"Lu Jing would like to obey the master's orders!"
No matter what Fan Xuan thinks, he is the first person since Lu Jing's time travel to be so kind to him. Lu Jing will remember this kindness in his heart.
Lu Jing's heartfelt words also made Fan Xuan's smile deepen.
He could see that Lu Jing was insecure and was not easy to get emotional, and the respectfulness on the road was all fake, so he went straight to the point - I value your qualifications, and you can see how much I value them, so let's stop acting as master and apprentice.
As long as you don't betray the Tao of Heavenly Masters, it doesn't matter if you have more thoughts.
Fan Xuan's own senior brothers are many ambitious people, so he is not demanding.
It's a master-disciple relationship, I'll teach you, you respect me, practice martial arts diligently in the future, be able to protect yourself, and spread the reputation of Zhengyi, then this apprenticeship will not be in vain.
Fan Xuan patted Lu Jing's shoulder and said warmly: "From now on, there is no need to be too polite. You have just escaped from trouble. As a teacher, you will not be held accountable for your past experiences. You only need to be careful with your words and deeds in the future, and never harm Zhengyi."
, otherwise I won’t be able to save you as a teacher.”
"Yes, I will definitely live up to my master's high expectations."
Lu Jing's expression was serious and his tone was solemn.
Fan Xuan nodded and looked at the accompanying disciples: "Shaoqing, go get a set of true disciple robes and a copy of the Tao Te Ching. In addition, ask someone to prepare the residence in the East Courtyard."
"yes."
The disciple bowed to accept the order and retreated. His name was Jian Xi, also known as Shaoqing. He was Liu Yong's second disciple and was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Culture and Literature.
