The head Taoist waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Let Shen Lian and Lu Shouyi go through the initiation ceremony first."
The third Taoist stepped aside. The person he respected the most in his life was the master, because although he was not personally taught by the master, after his master and grandmaster passed away, the master personally gave him guidance on all matters regarding cultivation.
Although there is no name of master and disciple, there is the reality of master and disciple.
Shen Lian and Lu Sheng were listed before the Taoist leader.
But seeing the master's face solemn, he said: "In the beginning of ancient times, no one preached the doctrine. Later, gods and Buddhas appeared in the world, and only then did the method of formal practice spread, giving all living beings like us the hope of immortality.
Later, Taoist Master Taiyi decided to practice nine realms before settling on immortality, which can be regarded as integrating the messy levels of practice of my Taoism, and it is also the path to the righteous Dharma.
The founder of this sect, the Yuan Qing Dynasty, listened to the Dharma under Taiyi Taoist Master. Later, the Taoist master disappeared and passed down the Qingxuan sect in this mountain.
The five peaks of Qingxuan are full of Taoist aftertaste. Those who are destined can understand it and help their practice.
Since the founder of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, the sect has experienced a total of thirty-three generations, and there have been forty immortal immortals, all of whom left their statues in Taiwei Pavilion.
Some of these real people either suffered disasters and died, or traveled across the galaxy. Currently, there is only one real person in our sect who guards the mountain gate. If you become a true disciple, you will have the opportunity to meet him. "
Lu Shouyi asked, "What is a true disciple?"
"If you are able to succeed in 'Returning the Pill' with your own strength, you are the true disciple and the true disciple of me, Qingxuan, who will continue the Taoist tradition." The leader slowly replied.
"Excuse me, Master, what is the difference between true disciples and ordinary disciples?" Shen Lian suddenly asked.
During this period of time, he rarely expressed himself, but was silently observing Qingxuan.
In fact, generally speaking, no matter whether it is the three questions or the leader, I encounter no particularly big airs.
Of course, Shen Lian couldn't see through their cultivation realm, or had no reference.
The leader slightly clenched his beard and chuckled, "Shen Lian, what do you think there will be?"
Shen Lian faced the master directly, took it calmly, and said: "It is different from the behavior, but it is not different from the heart."
The headmaster didn't have any special expression and said calmly: "Shen Lian, since Junior Brother Hong has taught you Xuanji Kung Fu, you don't need to look for other martial arts methods. Recently, there is a shortage of Yin Yu in the sect, so you can go Youhe collects twenty yuan every month and delivers it to me."
The third question asked hesitantly: "Is twenty yuan too much, Master?"
"That's right, then add another ten yuan, thirty yuan a month." The leader replied softly.
The third questioner did not dare to speak any more, and Shen Lian could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
Seeing Shen Lian's expression, the third questioner shook his head slightly. This boy still didn't know the power of Youhe. He had to collect thirty pieces of Yin jade every month, but it was very painful. Could it be that Shen Lian's machine sharpness was too heavy just now? , the leader punished him to do hard work.
The leader said again: "Shen Lian, are you willing?"
Shen Lian nodded.
The headmaster said to Lu Shouyi again: "Taoist Baishi has already conveyed the message to me. Besides, your ability to inquire into the mind shows the nature of Taoism. From now on, you will become a disciple of a poor Taoist and follow the poor Taoist practice. Of course, it is limited to the rules. You still have to live in the lower courtyard." "
Lu Shouyi was overjoyed at first, then looked at Shen Lian and said, "Master, why don't you accept Junior Brother Shen? His qualifications and understanding are much better than mine, and he already has the foundation of cultivation." He was quite clever, so fast. So he changed his tune.
The headmaster said: "Just take care of yourself. Who does Shen Lian want to be his teacher? There is no need for you to teach the poor Taoist."
Then the leader waved his hand and said: "You go out and wait, Sanwen will stay."
Shen Lian and Lu Shouyi could only resign.
Lu Shouyi and Shen Lian left the hall and said, "Brother Shen didn't expect that I could become my master."
Shen Lian smiled slightly and said: "Brother Lu, we must take good care of it and strive to return the elixir as soon as possible and ask for immortality."
Lu Shouyi said: "That's natural. It's a pity that the master didn't accept you together. Could it be that he wanted you to join the disciples of Uncle Zhupao that day?"
"Who knows, I'm already satisfied to be able to enter the immortal stream and learn the method of immortality." Shen Lian didn't seem to care that the headmaster was a little harsh on him or didn't want to see him.
It is true that he would not believe that a person like the head of Qingxuan, who is an expert, would look at people with prejudice just like ordinary people. There must be some other reasons for this.
If you worship the master and sit down, you can return the nine-turn pill, Changsheng asked, then Qingxuan would already be immortal.
The so-called Senior Brother Chen before was not stuck at the pass, unable to make any progress for forty years.
The purpose of joining Qingxuan was to better understand cultivation, rather than to rely on others to cultivate. Shen Lian knew exactly what he needed.

Sanwen said: "The leader doesn't seem to like Shen Lian."
"When this child broke through the Path of Inquiry, I was actually observing him. I could see that he had a clear mind and a talent for development. Junior Brother Hong insisted that I let him take Shen Lian as his mantle. Of course, I did not agree."
"Why is this?" The third questioner was particularly confused. Although qualifications are not the most important in the path of cultivation, they are also indispensable. Moreover, Shen Lian has a deep soul and excellent determination. If he practices Uncle Hong's "Purple Micro Cave Xuan" "True Interpretation", I am afraid that if he had not become the first person under Huandan when he entered the realm, it would be very likely that even monks below the sixth level of Huandan would be hard-pressed to match him.
"The secret of heaven must not be leaked." The Taoist leader smiled indifferently, enigmatically.
"Why did the master agree to Taoist Baishi to accept Lu Shouyi as his disciple?" The third Taoist couldn't understand this even more. Although the master accepted Lu Shouyi as a disciple so easily, in fact, the master had only accepted two disciples before.
"Lu Shouyi's 'chivalrous spirit in making friends and being a pure-hearted person', his future achievements may actually be higher than Jianmei's. Although I commented to Jianmei that 'no one knows him for half his life, but once he gets the Dharma, the world will be shocked', but I am afraid that he has just passed the test, and in the future It’s a pity.”
Qi Sanwen didn't expect the boss to look at Lu Shouyi so highly, and he really couldn't imagine that this kid would have a chance to surpass Chen Jianmei in the future.
The leader said again: "After talking about these trivial matters, it's your turn."
"Disciple, I am ashamed of my uncle." The third questioner lowered his head.
"If you ask me for the Waidan now, I will still give it to you. Although there are not many of them, I can still give you one with this old face." The leader looked at the three monks and sighed slightly.
"If the disciple wants it, how will the senior brothers in the Upper House be comforted? Who wouldn't want the chance to live for three hundred more years? Moreover, the disciple doesn't want to live for three hundred years. He only hopes to be able to join the sect in the next life."
"Those who are impatient are blazing with fire and will burn when they encounter things; those who are ungrateful are ice-clear and will kill everything they encounter. Those who are stagnant and stubborn are like stagnant water and rotten wood, with no vitality. None of these three are people who practice Taoism. You are too stagnant and stubborn. That’s it, that’s all, let it go.”
In the main hall, the three monks knelt down and kowtowed three times to the headmaster in an almost pilgrim manner.
He kowtowed three times and saw blood every time.
The leader didn't stop him and let him finish.
