Chapter 13: Named Xudong Immortal

When Huang Donglai returned to his house, Miao Yinzi was already sitting in the house.

"Hey? Master, why are you here?" Huang Donglai pushed the door and saw the other party. He didn't give a big gift, but just asked this question casually.

Miaoyinzi didn't mind this either. As he once said, their Xuanqi Sect did not pay so much attention to red tape: "If you have something to do with me."

"Oh." Huang Donglai nodded and brought it to the door, "Do you want me to make some water and make a pot of tea?"

"No need." Miaoyinzi pointed to the teapot on the table, "I have made it myself just now, just pour it for me."

When Huang Donglai heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "Ah? The tea has been brewed? How long have you been here?"

Miaoyinzi curled her lips: "When I stepped into the front yard before, I happened to see you coming out of the house, but you didn't see me." He paused, "I was about to call you, but I saw you hurried towards the direction of the cottage... so I gave up."

That's what he said, and he didn't say it any further.

Anyway, Huang Donglai already understood what he meant - I will be here as long as you squatted in the toilet.

"Haha, that's it." Huang Donglai smiled embarrassedly, poured a cup of tea for his master, and poured himself a cup, and sat down next to him, quickly unfolded the topic, "Why don't the master come to me?"

"Two things," Miaoyinzi said, then took out a book from her arms and placed it on the table. "First, your foundation of "no wonder" has been laid out almost, and you can start learning something new, so as a teacher, I will pick up this secret book for you to learn today."

When Huang Donglai heard this, he felt that this was not like human words. He immediately wondered: "Master, what if this secret recipe I picked 'cause' is a very advanced technique, and with my cultivation level, what should I do?"

Unexpectedly, Miaoyinzi immediately looked at Huang Donglai with a look of mental retardation, and asked back, "When I picked it out and held it in my hand, I took a look at the title of the book, right?"

Huang Donglai shook his head: "It's not too much."

Miaoyinzi said again: "When I saw the title of the book, did I know if you could practice this book?"

Huang Donglai nodded: "Yes."

Miaoyinzi said again: "If I find that you can't practice the secret book in my hand, I'll put it back and draw another one again?"

Huang Donglai only realized it later and began to embarrass him: "Uh..."

Miaoyinzi shook her head and drank tea: "I'll say yes first. If you go down the mountain in the future, don't tell people everywhere that you are my apprentice."

Huang Donglai also took a sip of tea, twitched the corners of his mouth twice before replying: "Okay..."

After a brief silence, as if to ease the stiff atmosphere, Huang Donglai reached out and picked up the secret book on the table, but saw three big words written on the cover - Twelve Truths.

"Hey? Master, this book looks like a preaching scripture, not a secret book." Huang Donglai is also a bit of culture and knows the general meaning of the word "Di", so he asked this question.

"Hi~ Taoist art, Taoist art, Taoist art, Taoist art, and Taoist art... This is mutual, just like the relationship between internal strength and moves in martial arts." Miaoyinzi said, "In short, you can learn it. The deeper the 'Tao' you understand, the more 'Tao' you know, the more mysteries you know. That is, you can only understand it intentionally, not express it in words..."

What he said was equivalent to not saying it.

However, Huang Donglai did not go into it in depth because he also knew that there was no clue to such a topic of being unpredictable. Anyway, some people just need to learn it.

"Okay, then Donglai thanked Master." Huang Donglai followed.

"What's the point of thanking me? It's time to learn something for you." Miaoyinzi said, "Also, if you don't understand anything in the process of learning the 'Twelve Truths', don't ask me, because I haven't read this book."

"Ah?" Huang Donglai was shocked, "Master, can't you teach me something you can do?"

"What does 'can' do'?" Miaoyinzi replied with disgust, "I haven't read this book, but I don't know anything recorded in this book? Even if I don't know what is on it, can I do what I can do after learning what is on it?" He paused and took a sip of tea, "Do you understand the same way? The countless Taoist scriptures in this world are like countless mountaineering roads. No matter which one you take, you can reach the top of the mountain. The only difference is which road is more suitable for you. Today, the Twelve Truths of this book is in front of you, which means you have a destiny to this path. If you change to another one I have learned for you, maybe it will delay you."

"Okay, okay, you're right... I'll learn this." Huang Donglai was an apprentice after all, so he naturally could not say that this Miaoyinzi, who had been practicing for more than a hundred years, could not refute no matter how others whispered, so he could only talk about it again, "By the way, Master, you said there are two things to ask me, what is the second one?"

At this moment, Miaoyinzi put down the teacup in his hand: "Well..." He adjusted his tone and expression and became a little serious, "Come on the east, you have been going up the mountain for a while, and the introductory skills have been practiced in a good manner. According to the rules of this sect, it is almost time to give you the Taoist name of a formal disciple; after you have the Taoist name, you will be considered to be officially naturalized in my Xuanqi Sect. In the future, you will also be on the genealogy list of disciples of all generations."

Here is a distraction. The Taoist name given in Xuanqi Sect is usually given after the disciple has practiced the first level of "Wuqigong", because before that, strictly speaking, this person has not yet entered the threshold of practicing Taoism - only when you master the most basic qi cultivation method in a sect can you be considered a "cultivator" and have a "dao name".

In this regard, other Taoist sects are the same, but other sects also have their own basic skills, and the difficulty of those skills may not be the same as "no strange skills".

Back then, Bai Ruhong had no "dao name", and "Silver Dao" was just his title in the world. Although he spent decades to practice Wuqigong some later, since he was just a "recorded disciple", he could not enter the genealogy list of the sect and would not be given a Taoist name.

"Oh?" At this moment, Huang Donglai was very happy when he heard that he could have a name for himself. He thought to himself that I was "excellent in the probation period and became a regular person." "Okay, Master, what name are you going to give me?"

Unexpectedly, the next second, Miaoyinzi asked in reverse: "Do you have any ideas?"

"Me?" Huang Donglai was a little stunned, "Can I also give my opinions on this?"

"Oh..." Miaoyinzi sighed at this time, "In fact, this sect has no restrictions on the issue of starting a Taoist name. It all depends on the thoughts of being a master at that time. If you are lucky, you will meet a person who is very particular and give you a serious name. If you are not lucky... For example, if you are like my senior brother and I, catch up with a very casual master..."

"Ah?" Huang Donglai didn't understand now, "Master, do you have any problem with your name? I think it's okay?"

"Oh, you don't understand..." Miaoyinzi replied earnestly, "I don't want to tell you either, so don't ask in the future."

Seeing that the other party had said everything to death, Huang Donglai stopped responding and just took a sip of tea silently.

After a breath, the Miaoyinzi picked up the topic himself: "In short, I don't want to follow my master's footsteps, which makes you blame me in the future, so I will ask you what you think first."

"Oh..." Huang Donglai seemed to understand, and he recited, "Then are you suitable for me to say "Tong Emperor", "Wujizi", "Baiyunzi" and so on?"

"It's vulgar." Miaoyinzi's evaluation was concise, "and I remember that there were already colleagues in Mount Emei and Mount Qingcheng that used these names."

When Huang Donglai heard this, he frowned slightly: "Hiss...why is my name good?"

"You don't have to be called "Zi". Who told you that the Taoist name must be what kind of Zi?" Miaoyinzi said.

"Is that true?" Huang Donglai really didn't know this part of the knowledge, "What else can it be called?"

"You can call him Taoist, Sanren, and sir." Miaoyinzi replied, "If you are happy, you can call him Banxian."

"That's it..." Huang Donglai asked again, "Why... what's the point in our mountain is called?"

"The person who named me is lazy~" Miaoyinzi said, "If I am a little lazy today, I will just click "Donglaizi" for you, then I will still use it here to continue arguing with you?"

"Yes, yes, yes... or you will love others." Huang Donglai quickly said flatteringly to coax the other party, for fear that the other party would lose patience, so he suddenly said to him, "Just do it like this" and turned around and left.

After saying that, Huang Donglai thought about it for a while, and then said with a half-joking attitude: "Ha... Master, what do you think of the 'Xudong Old Immortal' account?"

"Demon Dao?" Miaoyinzi also responded quickly and blurted out, "Devil?" He didn't know whether he was a question or a statement, "This guy is OK, it sounds like the way to start his own business and go out to cheat."

"No, Donglai dare not..." Huang Donglai quickly denied.

However, just as he was about to say the second half of the sentence "I'm just a joke"...

"What's there to be afraid of?" Miaoyinzi snatched, "What's wrong with setting up a self-esteem? Xuanqi Sect has never stopped his disciples from going out to set up a self-esteem, nor has it restricted his disciples from going down the mountain to practice. The senior brothers and uncles you have seen since you went up the mountain, including my master... there are one of them who wants to stay on the mountain and not leave."

"Ah?" Huang Donglai said, "All this is OK?"

After he said this, he thought about it himself and found that it seemed like nonsense.

As far as he knows about the Taoist priests of Xuanqi Sect so far, they even find it troublesome to hold some positions in their own sects. How could they get involved in more troublesome things like "establishing their own business"? As for the worldly practice, etc.... I live so comfortable on this mountain, and these lazy people were originally "not fighting for" in everything, so it was even more impossible to go.

"There is nothing wrong. You want to call it 'Xudong Old Fairy', right? OK! Then that's it." Miaoyinzi then said, "In the future, your Taoist name will be Xudong Old Fairy. You call me Master, I call you Laoxian, and you will work hard."

After saying that, he actually stood up and was about to leave.

"Hey! Master, I just said it casually." Huang Donglai was so anxious now, "Don't leave, let's discuss it again."

"No need." Miaoyinzi waved her hand, "This name is a bit meaningful, I like it very much. I will say to my senior brother and let him naturalize you, that's it."

He had already stepped out of the door when he said this.

Huang Donglai could not stop Miaoyinzi. He chased him to the door a few steps, but the latter disappeared.

Only Huang Donglai stood in front of the door, staring at the empty yard in a daze.

After standing stupidly for a while, Huang Donglai suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself several times, slapped him and said, "Old fairy, old fairy, old fairy... I'm really a shame!"

Of course, he didn't really use any force, just took a few symbolic shots.

When he thought that whenever anyone on the mountain would say hello to him, he felt a "old immortal" when he saw him, he felt ache, but now that things have come to this, he knew that there was nothing he could do, because now he went to Miaoyinzi to force another name to change it, which would be "barely", not "natural", and "the taste is wrong".
