The atmosphere has reached this point, and the cow has been blown out. I feel that if I don't become a disciple today, this Taoist priest named Shouxin will be thrown into the Mariana Trench.
I thought that firstly, this face is not my own, and secondly, I can release my inner demon and let it take my place, and then take it back after it has finished kneeling. In this way, it does not count as my own worship.
Thinking of this, I shouted: "Master is here, I am bowed to you by my disciples; then my knees went weak and I knelt down."
But before I could start tormenting my inner demons, Shou Xin waved his hand and lifted my knees up: "That's it, I don't care about these vulgar etiquettes, just get up."
This old Taoist priest is really particular about things.
He is very particular, so I must give him face, so I glanced at Shouzhuo who was standing next to me: "Master, what do you mean by what you two said, is this Taoist priest your junior brother? Then do I have to call him
Uncle Sheng?"
"Don't shout, I can't bear it."
Shouzhuo looked at me with those malicious eyes: "You are lucky. Senior Brother Shouxin is one of the best among my second-generation disciples in Kunlun. You will have a bright future under his disciples.
But one thing I want to warn you is that as my Kunlun disciple, the most important thing is loyalty. You must advance and retreat with your master at all times, and live and die together.
Also, I don’t know your details, but as a law enforcement elder, I must speak dirty words first. If I find out who sent you as a spy, or if you do anything to harm my sect, then I will forget it.
Senior Brother Shouxin, I will not show any mercy to you, do you hear me clearly?"
I didn't pay attention to him, and Shouxin didn't give him any face: "He is my disciple. If he has a problem, I will kill him with my own hands when the time comes, and it won't be your turn to point fingers."
"This is the best. With Senior Brother's words, I feel relieved."
He looked at me with that sinister look again: "Now that the apprentice has finished collecting it, please continue the practice, senior brother, and don't delay the business."
Then he snorted again, shook his sleeves and turned to leave.
After he walked away and became silent, Shouxin slowly said something behind me: "Although Shouzhuo is my junior brother, he and I have never been on good terms. You must be careful in your actions after becoming my disciple, so as not to fall into disgrace."
What kind of excuse was there, and he and his subordinates took advantage of it."
"Well, but the premise is that he and his people don't find trouble with me. If he bullies me, I have to let him understand that I don't have a good temper, and not everyone can offend me."
I turned around and cupped my fists at Shouxin, and then started to talk to him casually: "My disciple's name is Jiang Shu. He is thirty-nine years old. I would like to pay my respects to Master."
"Don't do this. Don't think I can't see it. You don't want to be your teacher at all."
Shouxin sneered: "But I still want to thank you for losing my face to the old Taoist. In return, the old Taoist did not let you kneel down seriously. From now on, you and I will be the master and apprentice in name. If you want to inherit my tradition,
Naturally, the old Taoist would not be stingy and would impart all his hundreds of years of Taoist experience to him.
But the most important thing in practicing Taoism is patience. No achievement can be achieved overnight. If you feel bored in the future, regret it, and don’t want to continue practicing, the Taoist will never stop you and will destroy your cultivation and expel you from the disciples.
That is, can you accept this condition?"
During the ten minutes I spent with Shouxin, from his words, I really felt a hint of the style of the orthodox Taoist priests from hundreds of years ago.
They don't have such a utilitarian mind, but they also don't have that kind of compassion for others. They work hard all their lives and practice for a lifetime, just for the sake of four words: ascending to the immortal path.
But the great road has long been stripped away. No matter how smart you are and how hard you practice, you will eventually run out of life and turn into a handful of loess. This is the end of these Taoist practitioners in the Age of Ending Dharma.
Thinking of this, there are really countless past events, the pictures came to my mind, and I began to miss the days when Qingluan and I were fooling around with those fellow Taoists six hundred years ago.
He also used a particularly standard posture, clasping his hands together, raising them to the level of his eyebrows, and bowed to Shouxin respectfully: "Disciple, I understand."
Shouxin said 'hmm': "I understand, go and arrange your worldly affairs, and then come back to me. I heard that the ghost just now said that there are two women traveling with you?"
I nodded: "Yes, I was traveling with my wife and my cousin. We were just having dinner downstairs. Unexpectedly, there was something wrong with the food. After I finished eating, I felt as if I had lost my soul. I felt like I was trapped in a trap.
In the nightmare, no matter how hard you try, you can't get out."
I made a painful expression, and then pretended to wake up suddenly: "Oh, yes, that kid was hitting my wife and my sister just now. I have to go down and take a look!"
"Don't panic. My teacher just warned it. It doesn't dare to act rashly."
Shouxin gently waved the whisk in his hand: "Let's go, I'll take you down."
I have to say that this old Taoist priest is quite capable.
With a wave of the whisk, his vision blurred for a while, and then the scene changed in front of him instantly.
He teleported me directly to the room just now, and except for the two women, there was no sign of the kid who had just been sent down by Shouxin in the room.
At that time, Xu Nuo was sitting on the bed. He had obviously just woken up not long ago. His face was full of sleepiness and he was looking around in confusion.
Zhuo Yi sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, smoking coquettishly.
She immediately stood up when she felt something strange, but when she saw it was me, her guard relaxed again, and she looked at me and Shouxin beside me with strange eyes.
I was afraid of revealing my secret, so I shouted to Zhuo Yi first: "Sister, this is Taoist Priest Shou Xin, my new master. Come on, come here and salute the Taoist Priest!"
Zhuo Yi was also confused at this time: "Ah? What the hell is your new master?"
I secretly sent a message to her: "This old boy is a second-generation disciple of Kunlun. Just now he saw that I have good skills, and he suddenly wanted to accept me as a closed disciple. This is a good opportunity to break into the enemy. You must cooperate with me."
"It's starting again, why the hell do you have so many dramas!"
Zhuo Yi was obviously a little reluctant: "Cooperate, how can I cooperate with you? I killed the ghost at the beginning and the little ghost that just entered the house."
"It doesn't matter. Just remember that my current name is Jiang Shu. I am thirty-nine this year. You are my sister and promise to be my little wife. That's it. I will take care of the rest."
I thought about it in my mind and told Zhuo Yi: "By the way, you can go out and find a way to deal with that female ghost just now, and don't let her reveal my identity."
"I know, I know, it's really hard."
After dealing with me reluctantly, Zhuo Yi also started to get into the fun: "No, is there a secret door in this room? How did you two suddenly appear in this room?"
