If you don’t seek the great way, you will be a husband.

Time flies for a hundred years, life experience is floating

——"Wuzhen Pian"

"I beg the Immortal Chief to include the kid and put it in the door wall for now!"

"Your Majesty has not yet ended, and you have no chance to be with the Immortal Way. Please come back!"

“Woo woo woo woo…”

"Please accept me as your disciple!"

"I have no choice but to do with you."

"well……"

"Master, how about accepting me as an apprentice?"

"The quota is full."

"oh."

"Old man, be my master."

"No. When you go to the grocery store to secretly look at the boss's daughter, please help me see if the sandalwood you made reservations has arrived."

"Okay. But when I see the beauty, I am very forgetful..."

"roll!"

The above is the daily conversation between the young man Zhang Xingyan and the old Taoist Qinghe over the past few years.

Zhang Xingyan is a 14 or 15-year-old boy with beautiful eyebrows and black eyes. He looked like a lively and outgoing person. He grew up in a village house since childhood. His parents were honest mountaineers and were living under the Mati Mountain outside Raozhou City, Poyang Lake.

Compared with other poor children from farm families, the young man Xingyan is not very special. If you really want to tell me the difference, one thing is worth mentioning:

Although the Zhang family lived a difficult life, Xingyan's parents took advantage of an opportunity to learn poetry and books with Mr. Ji from the Ji Family Private School in Raozhou City. His family was poor and could not afford the money. The Zhang couple had to try their best to squeeze out some food from their mouths and often gave him some seasonal wild vegetables as a gift for Mr. Ji.

The name Xingyan was chosen by Ji Lao Xuewen, a private school in Ji Family. Before, there was no such person in the world. Only the Zhang family Goudaner. When Goudaner was seven years old, his father, Lao Zhangtou, happened to work in the house of Mr. Ji, a big family in Raozhou City. Although he was called Lao Zhangtou, his father was actually in his prime at that time, but the labor of the merchants day and night made him look older, so everyone called him Lao Zhangtou, which was easier to call him.

Speaking of this group of short-term workers, Lao Zhang accidentally heard that Mr. Ji from Ji's private school was knowledgeable and kind, so he plucked up his courage and, with the introduction of the old man in Ji's handlebar style, he found the school and asked the old man to give his son a decent name.

After hearing the trepidation of the merchant's trepidation, the kind-hearted old scholar Ji did not take airs and asked him with a kind face, he asked him with a kindness what he had to ask for his son's name. Unexpectedly, the old man had to ask for his own opinions, and Lao Zhang was very flattered. So, Gou Dan'er's father, who had this precious opportunity, scratched his head and thought for a while, and then replied respectfully:

"Reported to Mr. Ji, my family often feels that the sun goes down the mountain quickly, so they hope to sleep less, so that the working day will be longer, and they can turn over a few acres of land. In addition to this, I also hope that my son will speak more in the future, so that when he helps me sell mountain goods and local products, he will not be bullied too ruthlessly by those who are wise and eloquent..."

After hearing Lao Zhang's request, Mr. Ji was stunned for a moment and could not immediately say the same thing as before - "A quick-witted and relied on the horse." This horoscope was the comments made by Mr. Ji when he was young, and his teacher's comments on him in a certain article of his writings. Since then, Ji Xueju has always been conceited with this. It seems that the gentle and elegant old man does not often hear such requests as Lao Zhang's.

Seeing him silent, the two of Lao Zhang and Lao Sun, who were standing on the verge of attack, were afraid of disturbing Mr. Ji's thinking.

The old man thought for a long time and thought about it repeatedly, thinking that he had to consider meeting the actual requirements of the merchants, and not to use function words such as "rich", "prime", "qing", and "ming", nor to use difficult and obscure words like "美", "美", "wei", and "rui". When he read, he still had to make these merchants who were ignorant of the big words catchy. It was indeed not a matter of "relying on the horse to wait".

After a while of ups and downs, Mr. Ji finally successfully confirmed the words "wake" and "yan" before sweating in his temples! Hearing him say that, Old Zhang Tou felt like he was treasured and immediately presented a basket of newly picked loquats in Matishan to the old man. Xiao Xingyan also completed the transformation from Goudan'er to Zhang Xingyan when he was seven years old.

The illiterate old Zhang was inspired by the name name and asked Mr. Ji to ask Mr. Ji to attend the school class and learn a lot, so that his son would not be as ignorant as he grew up and even his children's names could not be understood. Although the merchants lacked money and silver, as long as Mr. Ji accepted Xiao Xingyan with kindness, he would be willing to respect fresh fruits and vegetables in all seasons in the future. Although the mountain goods were low, he could also adjust the taste for the husband.

At that time, somehow, when Mr. Ji heard Lao Zhang's simple words, he suddenly felt strongly that he had eaten the fish and meat at home. He was quite moved by the delicacies of fruits and vegetables made by Xingyan's father, and unexpectedly agreed to Lao Zhang's request.

Although it seems that a private school of a prominent family member accepted such a poor family, Mr. Ji was a respected clan in the Ji family. With his talent and reputation, no one dared to come out to question his actions.

However, even the old man himself did not expect that the matter of accepting Xingyan as his disciple would later become an adventure of his own, which made many famous scholars envious. When Zhang Xingyan's reputation spread all over the world, Mr. Ji began to forget his mentor's eight-character comments, and instead praised him for his knowledge of Zhang Xingyan's knowledge of people. Even when he was old and the signs of forgetfulness became increasingly serious, he remembered every interesting and anecdote of his proud disciple back then!

What's more, Mr. Ji later changed the character "大大" from the original "Mingchang" to "正"; since then, whoever calls him Ji Mingchang will be anxious. This time, the old man has a profound meaning; so that every time the old man talks and introduces himself, he can pull the other party to tell the origin of the character "大大".

Besides, the young man Xingyan, although he was admitted to a private school and could study, he was a poor family. He could not spend all day in the school room like his rich classmates, or did nothing. He also took advantage of his school class in Raozhou City to sell local products such as melons, fruits, pheasants, and rabbits. At noon and in the evening, he had to be a hall at the Daoxianglou Restaurant at Nanshikou, earning himself some pocket money for his pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for his school class.

As for the beginning of this article, the Taoist elder, who had changed his name four times, was the Taoist priest who was in charge of purchasing Poyang Lake specialties in Raozhou, the Taoist priest who was in charge of purchasing Poyang Lake specialties in Raozhou, and the Taoist name was "Qinghe".

The Taoist priest of Qinghe is already quite old and has a thin bone. Because he is not combing frequently, his sparse beards are growing day by day, and over the years, he is quite large. When he flutters with the wind, he has a bit of a fairy-like appearance.

Although the old Taoist Qinghe is old, he still does this job similar to a chore. According to Xingyan's understanding, this should be because the old Taoist Qinghe is stupid and cannot do his homework in Shangqing Palace well, so he was sent to run around the city. In this regard, although the two of them have been so persistent in getting acquainted with the masters for several years, and they have long been unable to get along with each other. But it is like the reverse scale of the evil dragon. As long as Xingyan ridicules the old Taoist, he will be furious and thunderous. He must ask the young man to explain clearly:

Master Qinghe came to Raozhou City, because he was a master's sect, and the master's sect's Taoist practice was particularly focused on worldly accession, and there was no more worldly position on Luofu Mountain. Therefore, when he was assigned to the sect's sect's place in Raozhou, he had experienced fierce competition and overwhelmed many outstanding classmates, and finally got it!

In order to make this naughty boy accept his statement, the old man Qinghe would definitely mention that he was a senior Taoist priest from the Tianyi Sutra Pavilion of the Shangqing Palace, and later he only tried to get to Raozhou City to further his cultivation.

Although the old Taoist Qinghe always felt proud when he said this; if the young man was a few years older and a little more cunning, he would find that the old man's expression was not so natural at this time.

However, although Qinghe will inevitably be classified as the first-class person if he judges his appearance; he is flexible in mind, knows the worldly style, and never sticks to his identity as a monk when doing things - the saying of the old Taoist justice is his "way to enter the world"!

Regardless of whether Qinghe did this job because of his inability to practice Taoism, in Xingyan's eyes, the "worldly" Taoist Qinghe has reached the level of perfection, so he often had to plot against himself and let him do all kinds of miscellaneous work for good fate.

It seems that the world-famous Shangqing Palace is really extraordinary. Isn’t this Qinghe old man the typical example of Shangqing Palace being used according to the aptitude? So, this made the young Zhang Xingyan’s yearning and respect for Shangqing Palace even more! It is:

The little boy has a high ambition and wants to learn from the gods and climb to the sky;

I don’t wake up at midnight, and I’m happy every day in my dreams!

In fact, for Xingyan, the so-called seeking immortals and seeking Taoism is at best just a high-sounding reason for him to pester the old Taoist to become a disciple. The real reason for becoming a disciple is that the young man is now growing up and his appetite has increased greatly. Even though his family is relying on the mountains to eat, the Zhang couple still can't afford to support him.

Moreover, he had no place to stay in Raozhou City, and he had to travel long distances to return to his home in the suburbs every day. Although his legs and feet were extremely strong, it was not easy for a young man like Xingyan to go on for a long time.

Therefore, if you can get to the place of good fortune, you can at least have a place to settle down. Unfortunately, although Xingyan and the old Taoist Qinghe are very familiar with each other, you can occasionally beat the top spot in this "Qing Palace on the Qing Dynasty on Luofu Mountain"; but this place of good fortune is not only the old Taoist Qinghe. Under him, there are two little Taoist priests, Jingchen and Jingming. These two little Taoist priests have no good expression on him.

Perhaps, they were tired of Xingyan's resignation, or were understandable. Although these two Taoist priests were of low generation, they both worked hard to join the Shangqing Palace, the world-famous Qinghao Sect, and they all hoped to learn some Taoism and go back to the glory of the countryside. Unexpectedly, they were sent here to do miscellaneous work for some reason. For these devout Taoists, it was no different from being exiled to be a military force. The unlucky thing was that even the book was not easy to write, and it was a lot of complaints.

Therefore, although Taoism emphasizes purity and inaction, but with this kind of bad luck, it is inevitable that he will have no good expression on Xingyan, a layman boy who takes advantage of him. After years of experience in the school and the market, Xingyan is no longer the ignorant boy in the mountains back then. He has long known the negative views of these two errand Taoist priests.

Therefore, he must go up to worship Qinghe as his teacher. If he became a member of the Jing generation one day earlier, he would be able to eat, drink, and live in this good relationship one day earlier!

What is very different from Jingchen and Jingming's view is that in the eyes of the little boy Xingyan, the Taoist priests who are good at being in good relationships are really in heaven. They are not afraid of the shortage of clothing and food, nor the pain of rain and sun, and they are just talking and arguing all day long, and they can receive donations from those who admire Taoism. At most, they are just turning a few street corners and buying some miscellaneous items - but even such a relaxing job can be done in turn by three people. It's really too leisurely!

Compared to the part-time jobs that Xingyan has done, it is really from heaven and underground! Even so, I still see the two little Taoists frowning and bitter faces all day long, and they are all in a blessing without knowing it! Every day when I go home to catch the long road, Xingyan often thinks about such a problem in his heart.

In fact, it is no wonder that the young man Zhang Xingyan had this idea, because he is now in an era when the people are in a difficult situation but Taoism is popular.

At this time, the world was just about to settle down. After just experiencing years of war and conquest by separatist forces, the population on the land of China dropped drastically. Whether it was the middle and lower gentry or the lower civilians, they were still scared of the days when the day was in danger before. Therefore, the world is now determined; from royal relatives and nobles to the common people, they were tired of the hustle and bustle of war and began to heal the trauma of years of war. In such a tide of the times, Taoism, which opposed force and advocated purity and inaction, began to stand out from various sects.

At that time, the whole country admired Taoism. Not only did the incense of Taoism in the Daozong temples become increasingly popular, but even the literati and famous scholars in the world also regarded studying Taoist classics as a fashion trend. At that time, many famous Taoists appeared in the scholastic forests.

With such a background, the Taoist metaphysical and pure talk was beyond imagination. These Taoist metaphysical talks, also known as "micro-spoken", "clear-spoken", "clear-spoken" and "clear-trial". The discussion of "Lao, Zhuang, and Yi" who were also known as "Three Mysteries of Taoism" became a fashionable topic for the Qing talk at that time. Famous scholars who were proficient in the "Three Mysteries" were not only quick-witted and talked freely in the Qing talk, but also wrote books and had a successful academic achievement. People in the world called memeologists.

However, although the title of "metaphorist" at that time was awe-inspiring, it was not easy to get a name. This kind of metaphysical talk about Taoism was often carried out all night, which is the so-called "small words to reach the dawn". Some scholars were addicted to the point of being obsessed with the argument, and had already forgotten to eat day and night. Some were the so-called "four people who eat left and right, and those who are cold and warm again"; and even worse, there were a few famous scholars who thought hard all night and were tired and even exhausted.

Mr. Ji, the teacher of Xingyan, is also a celebrity in the local scholarship. In this national tide of Taoism, he naturally cannot avoid the common people. Whenever he is prosperous, the old man will talk about metaphysics during the lecture.

However, with the young man's knowledge and interest at that time, he really couldn't understand what the teacher was saying, so he just stared at the old man's mouth that seemed to be endless, and he only prayed in his head that the school class was about to end soon:

I was anxious about whether I could still catch up with the short-term worker in Daoxianglou, I was worried that I would be scolded by the fat tent if I went too late, and I was afraid that I would be deducted by the iron cockerel Liu...

There were many distracting thoughts coming in Xingyan's mind, just like the white clouds and the blue dogs, but they were nothing to do with the theme in the lecture hall.

So Mr. Ji was talking on the stage, and his disciple Zhang Xingyan sat upright and wandered thousands of miles below.

However, in Mr. Ji's speech, there were occasionally one or two stories that were not so boring, and they were accidentally noticed by Xingyan. One time, the old man mentioned that Kuang Jia, the son of the Wei family in the east of Raozhou City, was weak and easy to talk about Xuan. Once, he had an appointment with Xie Kun, a famous scholar in the Wei River. As a result, during the overnight debate, he was refuted by Xie Kun, who came from afar, and his old disease broke out and died!

Seeing the teacher's sad look of "the wind is whispering and the water is cold" when he talked about this, Xiao Xingyan was extremely alert and decided that although he would continue to strive to get into the good relationship between the old Taoist Qinghe, he should be careful in the future and not chat with the old Taoist all night long!

Since Taoism is popular and the names of officials are recognized, the number of people who volunteer to join Taoism will also increase greatly. Since the demand is strong, there will be idle people coming to make fun of it.

As a result, over the past decades, many Taoist sects have risen to the world. What is the aurora, the entire emptiness, the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first

Miaohua Palace in Weiyu Mountain, Shangqing Palace in Luofu Mountain, and Tianshizong in Heming Mountain.

There are many female Taoists in Miaohua Palace, and the Shangqing Palace worships the two sutras of "Shangqing" and "Jade Emperor"; the Tianshi Sect is also called "Tianshi Tao" and "Five Dou Rice Sect". It is said that it was created by Zhang Daoling and Zhang Tianshi. It has the widest believers among the three Dao Sects and the most powerful.

Unlike Miaohua Palace, which takes the women's route and the Tianshi Sect takes the mass route, the Shangqing Palace where Qinghe is located is relatively noble, and practices Taoist scriptures such as the "Jade Emperor Sutra" and the "Shangqing Sutra". The name of the teachings is Shangqing, which comes from the respect for the ancestors of the Three Qings of Taoism.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, the name of the Shangqing Palace won the favor of the scholars and officials, and received thousands of hectares of fertile land allocated by the royal family. The Luofu Mountains where it was located, a mountain field with a radius of 500 miles was also officially named the private property of the Shangqing Palace. On the contrary, the Tianshizong, who was more famous among the poor people, was not favored by the scholars.

In fact, we need to trace the root of the origin carefully, the Shangqing Palace has a lot of relationship with the Tianshi Sect. It is said that the two religions were originally one, but because of a certain generation, there was a dispute in the sect due to their disagreement of doctrines. So Zhang Daoling's descendant, the fourth-generation Tianshi Zhang Qing, moved the sect to Heming Mountain, known as the "Tianshi Sect". The left-behind religious elders founded the Shangqing Palace and formed their own sects since then.

For most poor people, the Shangqing Palace at that time undoubtedly symbolized a paradise with abundant food and clothing. If anyone could be related to the Shangqing Palace, it would be worry-free for a lifetime. Never starve for a lifetime, this was a remarkable thing in the hearts of most poor people at that time - perhaps it was a beautiful thing that could only be dreamed of when sleeping in a dream!

When Xingyan was still an ignorant child, he realized that life was difficult; after he became sensible, he had to seek food on his own. For Xiao Xingyan, who was rushing for food and clothing, it was natural to focus his eyes on this "Shangqing Palace and Raozhou Good Relations".

Unfortunately, because of his noble name, Shangqing Palace originally chose disciples very strictly. Perhaps because he was afraid that the food and mouth were too much to deal with, he ordered his disciples to strictly accept disciples. Therefore, the opening chapter Xingyan and the old Taoist Qinghe had a dialogue with the same content and direct form over the past few years.

After many years of verbal talk, Xingyan is still in the world. The only result is that he is familiar with the old Taoist Qinghe.

Speaking of which, after completing his daily routine, Xingyan went to Daoxianglou, two streets across to do short-term work. He also went to complete his other daily homework: On the corner of the east gate street on the road, he secretly glanced at Li Xiaomei, the daughter of the owner of the Li Ji grocery store.

This behavior is not a surprise to the precocious puberty of young people. At that time, people generally had early marriages. A young man like Zhang Xingyan, who was fourteen or fifteen years old, was not absent from getting married, but Xingyan's family was poor and unable to marry. At this age, he had already developed a vague love for women. Li Xiaomei was the beautiful woman in his mind. In his eyes, Li Xiaomei had good skin and soft eyes. No wonder she looked good no matter how she looked, it was no wonder that she was well deserved to be the number one beauty in this age group with two radius!

In fact, if you want to be honest, then Li Xiaomei is a typical family child. She looks young and lively and can't be called a beauty. But what's wrong with this? For a young man who is just in love, in his mind, the girl he likes is the most beautiful.

Perhaps, after decades, I will feel incredible when I think back and recall my obsession with a certain girl. But that has happened decades later.

When passing by Li Ji's grocery store, the boy did not forget Qinghe's instructions. After all, if you ask if the goods are available, you can blatantly look at Li Xiaomei a few more times!
Chapter completed!
