Observing people is Xuan Chengzi's best skill. He relied on this skill of eating to travel around the world and finally entered the most noble place in the world.
But the words that came out of Ye An's mouth were so natural that no matter how he looked at him, he never felt that this boy was lying.
Xuan Chengzi knew that even to deceive people, there must be facts as a basis. It is almost impossible to fabricate something outright.
But the most important thing is his eyes. This boy looks no more than 28 years old. Even a dull person can see the purity and memories in his eyes. It also makes Xuan Chengzi feel more and more surprised. What kind of thing is this boy like?
By chance, I could go to such a magical place?!
But the next words brought Lao Dao back to his thoughts of traveling to the world with Ye An: "One day, the elders in the family said something, a great fortune, a great opportunity came out, so he immediately joined me and ended up here."
These words were really bizarre and couldn't be more bizarre, but Xuan Chengzi fell for it and stared at Ye An for a long time, unable to see the strangeness in his expression at all, so his eyes became gentle.
"Could it be that Pindao is my great fortune or great opportunity?"
Ye An shook his head: "I don't know about this kid, but there must be a reason for you and me to meet each other in this vast mountain, and it should be regarded as a chance, right? My master often said: The way of heaven has its own destiny, and this destiny is the destiny!"
"
The more the Taoist talked nonsense, the more he believed it. He nodded repeatedly and then waved his hand and said: "That's it! It must be so! Master Tao is your chance!"
As the conversation increased, Ye An became more and more proficient. After listening to Xuan Chengzi's words, he curled his lips behind his back. What a great opportunity. It was just an accidental time travel, and you happened to be unlucky to be hit.
The reason why he wanted to take Xuan Chengzi as his disciple was because Ye An found his own background. The inexplicable appearance of a person in this world was the first thing that could not withstand scrutiny.
The best way to integrate into an unfamiliar environment is to create an identity for yourself, and if this old man bumps into him, wouldn't he be playing into his own game?
If you want to live in the Song Dynasty, the most important thing is to settle down first. Only by settling down can you make a living. The household registration management system of this era is far more stringent than that of later dynasties. Household registration is the main source of taxation in this era.
If Ye An were a daughter, she would not be in such trouble. Any excuse could be used to excuse her, but a man is the head of the family and the main source of taxes in Dingkou. It is impossible for someone without detailed registration or household registration.
No matter where you are, it's difficult to move forward.
Ye An doesn't want to become a refugee.
The Song Dynasty was quite inhumane to the refugees. The central government's treatment policy at the local level was often to have people tattooed with gold seals on their faces and sent to the Xiang army or to serve as laborers...
With the old Taoist as a talisman, it is natural. As for where is the way out for myself in the future? What should I do... Take it one step at a time, and get over the current hurdle first.
On the other side, Xuan Chengzi also had his own calculations in mind. Among other things, he didn't believe what Ye An said. These remarks seemed to be watertight, but in fact there were many things that could not withstand scrutiny.
If there really was such a powerful person to take him in, he shouldn't have been allowed to appear in Zhongyue Songshan Mountain for nothing. Why not go find his parents and clan?
Then there is this weird little house, and the small box in his hand just now. The small box can actually hold a sky full of stars and the moon. It is simply an artifact that can penetrate the sky!
Looking at Ye An carefully, the old man felt that the boy looked more and more extraordinary. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, but his temperament was extremely mature, completely different from the young people of the same age he had seen.
It's just that this kid's attire is quite weird, he doesn't have long hair, and his clothes are very different from those in the Central Plains.
He was wearing a shirt and trousers, dressed in cool clothes, and he was wearing a strange chain on his hand. He had never seen anything other than gold or stone on the chain.
The old and the young have their own thoughts and try to figure out each other, except for the two furry tails stuck in their butts and wagging wildly...
The Taoist apprenticeship ceremony is not simple. Although it is in the mountains and beside the ancient road, Xuanchengzi wants a formal apprenticeship ceremony. No matter how much Ye An talks, he will never let go of this matter.
.
"Old Taoist, can we be simple and casual, just call "Master" and get the job done?!"
"Absurd! Is this what your elders taught you?"
The old Taoist threw down his rotten sleeve in a graceful manner. The old greasy smell almost made Ye An faint. He covered his nose and stepped back a little distance before saying: "Then what do you think we should do?!"
Xuanchengzi is quite chic: "Of course, I choose the auspicious day of the zodiac, prepare incense, put it on the table; offer tributes, fruits, flowers, wine, and burn sacrifices to the originator and the ancestors of all generations.
You burn incense for your master in person, and you bow three times and kowtow nine times, offer tea, and present the "Apprenticeship Sticker". Oh, by the way, there must be a pressing ceremony. Only a witness can enter the master's door and become the direct descendant of the master.
disciple.
I will also give you blessings and empowerments for my master, wear a crown and scarf, and teach you about my master's inheritance, sect rules, precepts, and the three refuges."
After speaking, he looked at Ye An carefully and said again: "I'm afraid you can't be a Taoist or a Taoist like this, you can only be a Taoist!"
"What is a Taoist?" Ye An looked like a dog looking at the stars.
"Our Taoist sect is based on learning the Tao, cultivating the Tao, and practicing the Tao. Therefore, we have three basic purposes, which are respected as the three treasures: Those who learn the Tao: take the Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun as the Tao treasure, and those who respect the Tao: the above-mentioned Qingling treasure
The Heavenly Lord is the Sutra Treasure Lord......"
"Slow down...slow down...Master, it's easier for us to be a registered disciple. As long as we are your disciples, why bother?"
"Named disciple?!"
Xuan Chengzi was very dissatisfied. Not only was he unhappy, he even ran away like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Master Dao, I swore on the memorial tablet of our ancestor that I would not accept any registered disciples in this life. That is bad karma! It is deceiving the master and destroying the ancestor!"
Ye An was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that a registered disciple would actually cause such a big reaction from the Taoist Association: "Isn't accepting a registered disciple as normal as eating and drinking for you masters?"
"Easing dog excrement! What is a registered disciple? They are just idle people with names. They don't have much real ability. They just use the name of the master to fool around! On the contrary, they are insulting the name of the master. This is disrespectful! You
I am a close disciple of my master, and a direct disciple. I must at least be a practitioner of the Tao! Take "compassion, frugality, and surrender" as the three treasures to establish yourself and practice the Tao, and do the work of living in the world. If you violate it, the teacher will punish you without mercy!"
What he said made Zhao Zhen speechless for a moment. He said that, but where can he find those apprenticeship things now? Besides, there is still a apprenticeship ceremony, and the most useless thing about him is banknotes...
He accidentally saw the old Taoist's eyes staring at his mobile phone, which made him salivate. Ye An finally understood...
At first, I thought he had an empty look in his eyes, but I never thought that he had already planned to use his cell phone.
Looking at the black Wuling lying on its side, Ye An instantly felt that he should be a super rich man in the Song Dynasty. There were not many daily groceries in the car, but the important thing was that there were several boxes of vegetables!
Potatoes, onions, peppers, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage... If these things are buried in the soil and grown...
Xuan Chengzi stared at the Qiyi in Ye An's hand but was interrupted by a burst of giggles. He looked up and saw Ye An's silly expression and the laughter that was about to flow from the corner of his mouth.
"Boy, get up and do your work quickly, so that Master Tao can come down the mountain as soon as possible."
The old Taoist was full of infinite curiosity about Ye An's life experience, but he knew that it was impossible to confess to Ye An when questioning him now. Instead of forcing him to run away, it would be better to slowly explore the secrets in him.
The fair-skinned and handsome young man in front of him is like a huge treasure house. The longer we spend time together, the more surprises and shocks he brings to the veteran.
The old man in the small house is already familiar with this little house that seems to be iron but not iron. What does a young man who can hold the starry sky and the bright moon in his hands mean?
