In fact, inheritance is only one aspect, and it is not the important aspect.
At least this is the case for a large sect like their Lingxiao Sect.
Most sects basically have a fairly complete inheritance system, and there is no need to carry out inheritance in the form of master and disciple.
To give the simplest example, if necessary, a high-level cultivator can teach hundreds, thousands or even more disciples, and he can definitely teach them.
In other words, no matter how big the sect is, as long as there is one cultivator like this who is responsible for the inheritance, it will be enough.
Even if one inheritor is not perfect, what about ten or a hundred?
No matter what, a hundred is enough, I really don’t need more!
As for the thousands of other cultivators in the sect, they are completely free and at ease. In terms of inheritance, they have nothing to worry about.
But this is not the case.
In Lingxiao Sect, only those at Lingtai level and above are eligible to accept disciples, and there are no monks above Lingtai level who refuse to accept disciples.
Hardly one!
Why?
Because of the road.
A certain cultivator only cultivates to the Lingtai stage, and then the path is almost exhausted.
Either because of limitations in qualifications or endowments, or because the foundation laid at the beginning can only carry it to such a high level, or because of other messy reasons.
Anyway, there can be many reasons.
Then, what to do?
Accept your fate?
If we accept our fate, there should be no cultivators in this world.
The so-called cultivator is to explore nature and strive for destiny from heaven!
It should be said that for any monk above the Lingtai level, without this kind of mentality to fight for life, it is impossible to reach the Lingtai level step by step!
So, if the path is exhausted and we don’t accept our fate, what can we do?
The best method, the best method confirmed by countless cultivators throughout the ages, is to recruit disciples.
Dive into it and teach your disciples slowly, and you will gain something in the process.
This one.
And the second is that your path ends at the Lingtai realm, but this may not be the case for your disciples.
He may go higher and further than you.
If you nurture him today, he will nurture you back in the future.
In this world, the closest relationship is not between father and son, not between husband and wife, nor between grandparents and grandchildren, but between master and disciple.
The relationship between most masters and disciples is closer than the relationship between father and son.
Because father and son are only related by blood, but master and apprentice have achieved a very close inheritance and progressive relationship with each other bit by bit in body, mind and life over the long years.
Overall.
For disciples, before you grow into a big tree, the person who can best cultivate and protect your growth is your teacher.
For a teacher, after you have reached the end of your road, it is your disciples who are most likely to pull you out of the dead end and move on.
Therefore, for this reason, the more talented the disciples are, the more they are competed for and favored.
After cultivators reach a certain level, they will neither be greedy for fame nor seek profit.
Appearing like rotten soil.
Wealth is nothing but smoke.
And for middle- and high-level cultivators, who is not a big boss? Fame and wealth are just playthings in the palm of your hand. If you like it, you will take it, and if you hate it, you will discard it.
On the other hand, disciples, especially genius disciples, can risk their lives to snatch them away.
Anyway, at this time, the more the old man looked at the three little babies, Tai Cangyue, Ji Feiyan and Ye Xiaoye, the happier he became. Even Guang Qing, who was already someone else's direct disciple, looked at them with the same envy.
If you don't get what you want, you still have to be greedy.
The whole journey was speechless, and after about a few hundred steps, a large hall came into view.
The old man's steps became slower and slower, and his expression became solemn.
The people in Guangqing also looked serious.
After entering the main hall, I found that the main hall was very empty, with nothing around. There was only an incense table in the middle, where the door was, and against the back wall.
A huge, simple, stone incense table that is completely integrated with the mountain on the ground.
On the incense table, a bunch of threads are scented.
A very light fragrance filled the hall, causing those who entered the hall, except the old man, to sniff their noses unconsciously. As they smelled, they slowed down and deepened their breathing.
Because although the fragrance is very light, it smells very good.
The kind that makes people amazed the first time they smell it, and then the more they smell it, the more they fall in love with it.
At this moment, a young Taoist priest walked slowly in from a side door behind the main hall and came to the incense table.
"Mr. An, why are you here?"
The old man was greatly surprised when he saw the visitor.
"I like these little babies. I will preside over their initiation ceremony." The young man named An Lao said calmly after taking a look at him.
Hearing this, the old man didn't say anything. He just bowed and retreated behind the young man, also to his side, away from the incense table.
"This incense is called pure incense." The young man pointed at the incense stick on the incense table and said with a smile to Guangqing and Taicangyue, "As cultivators like us, when we bathe in this incense, it is very easy for us to have thoughts of purity in our hearts.
It is beneficial to practice. There are other kinds of fragrant medicines in the sect, each with its own effects, and you will gradually come into contact with them in the future."
After saying this, the young man stood in the middle of the incense table, put his palms together, and bowed nine times slowly and seriously.
"Come, learn my movements, come one by one. Our Lingxiao Sect doesn't have many formal rituals. After these nine bows, you will be considered an official disciple of my Lingxiao Sect." After bowing, the young man stepped away.
He said this to several people.
"Disciple Guangqing, I would like to pay my respects to my master." Guangqing bowed to the young man and said in salute.
"Guangqing? Well, you are very good. My child, I will remember you." The young man said warmly.
Even though Guangqing was calm-minded, he was so excited when he heard the young man's words that he almost shed tears. After another bow, he retreated to the young man's side.
Her steps even lost their usual steady lightness and seemed a little awkward.
"Come on, little baby, you come first." The young man said to Tai Cang Yue.
"Yes, Master!" Tai Cangyue said respectfully, and then she wanted to salute the young man first, but the young man stretched out his hand to stop him, and could not bow.
"Haha, first worship the sect and then become the master. After becoming the master, only those within the sect and outside the sect can worship you." The young man smiled and said, "Hey, my Lingxiao sect doesn't have many rituals and rituals, but this is one of them."
"Okay, Master, I understand!" Tai Cangyue smiled cutely, then turned around and walked step by step to the position where the young man demonstrated before.
"The sect is on top, all the ancestors are on top, my disciple Tai Cangyue will be a member of the Lingxiao Sect from now on! This disciple will definitely abide by the rules of the Lingxiao Sect and practice well! Please learn from this heart and intention, all the ancestors!"
Tai Cang Yue clasped her hands together and spoke while facing the incense table. After expressing herself for a while, she bowed respectfully nine times.
Drama queen!
Xu Guangling gave her such an evaluation.
I guess it was taught by her family?
After bowing, Tai Cang Yue jumped up and stood next to Guang Qing.
The young man watched with a smile from beginning to end and did not correct her.
"Come on, baby, come on." The young man said to Ji Feiyan again.
"Yes, Master, my name is Ji Feiyan!" Ji Feiyan looked cute and cute. She wanted to salute the young man, but she only made a little movement and seemed to remember what the young man said just now, and then
Sticking out his tongue, he stood tiptoe in front of the incense table.
Then, she didn't join in the drama.
He bowed obediently and bowed nine times, then stood next to Guang Qing.
After the two of them bowed, only the last one was left.
"Baby, what's your name?" the young man said to Ye Xiaoye.
Ye Xiaoye was simply flattered, "Reporting to the master, my disciple's name is Ye Xiaoye, Ye's Ye." He said respectfully.
The young man nodded slightly.
Ye Xiaoye also did not join in the show, and just like Ji Feiyan, she stopped after nine bows.
Then, he also stood next to Guang Qing.
At this time, the young man stretched out his hand and pressed it gently in the void in front of him. Immediately, a huge transparent water mirror appeared in front of him, and also appeared in front of Tai Cang Yue and others.
The next moment, countless handwritings continued to appear in the water mirror.
"Come, stand in front of this." The young man said to Tai Cangyue, Ji Feiyan and Ye Xiaoye.
The three of them naturally obeyed orders.
"You three, stretch out your fingers and tap the water curtain." The young man said again.
Taicang Yue and the other three, you look at me and I look at you. Then Tai Cangyue is the first, Ji Feiyan is the second, and Ye Xiaoye is the third. They follow the instructions in order but with very short intervals.
They each reached out and tapped the water curtain.
Then.
The three words are condensed between the water curtains pointed by their respective fingers.
According to the order of the three people, they are "Han", "Ru" and "Ling".
"From today on, in addition to your names, you will have nicknames, namely 'Guanghan', 'Guangru', and 'Guangling'. Do you remember them all?" The young man looked at the three of them and said slowly.
Guanghan?
Tai Cang Yue felt a chill in her heart.
Guangru?
Ji Feiyan's heart trembled.
Guangling?
Ye Xiaoye's heart trembled.
The next moment, all three people said in unison: "Remember!"
