There are seven second-generation disciples of Qingyun Temple, including Qingxuan Xiaodaotong. Except for a woman who ranks fourth, they are all male compatriots. After all, they are Taoist temples.
"Tao, Spirit, Purity, Cloud, Worship, Truth, Aspiration, Preservation..."
I don't know where Guan Nei got the inheritance, and there is a strict division of generations. The oldest Taoist priest in the temple is the Taoist Master Lingxu. The second-generation disciples belong to the "Qing" generation, starting from the elder brother, they are Qingzheng, Qingyan, Qingsong, Qinglan, Qingshi, Qingzhu and Qingxuan.
Among the seven senior brothers, their dao names are basically taken after something like "plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, pine rock, cypress stone". Only Ye Qingxuan and senior brother Lu Qingzheng have slightly different dao names from the other senior brothers.
Ye Qingxuan often speculates that it may be that the master had no experience when he first took the Taoist name, so he casually chose a "Qingzheng" Taoist title for the elder brother, and then realized that there could be only one apprentice, so he made a "ink landscape painting" "" series came out, as for myself, I guess it was the old magic stick who had no words until now, so he barely made up the word "Xuan" to make up for it.
The seven senior brothers have always been busy with their own affairs, gathering less and leaving more.
In the temple now, apart from Daoist Lingxu, only senior brother Lu Qingzheng, third senior brother Chen Qingsong, fourth senior sister Yue Qinglan, and junior junior brother Ye Qingxuan stay in the temple. more than a year.
Soon, it will be the day of adopting orphans once every four years, and recruiting Xiaodao boys and master teachers. It stands to reason that these three senior brothers will be back soon.
Once every four years, Qingyun Temple will recruit Taoist boys, and at the end of the year, a master competition will be held to test the martial arts cultivation of the disciples. Recruiting disciples when they are not registered as official sects is also the difference between religious sects and secular sects. Unregistered sects cannot openly recruit disciples, but religious monasteries can recruit disciples on a small scale in the name of recruiting monks. Of course, some secular sects can also use other names to recruit subordinates, such as Pai Gang, Salt Gang and other sects that monopolize a specific industry, they can hire workers to expand the scale of official disciples... It's just that the methods of these sects are more similar to The underworld gangs are related, and the government is powerless to govern.
It is said to be a big competition, but in fact, with the current strength of Qingyunguan, the three generations of disciples are just a dozen kittens, and most of them are orphans.
Among the three generations of disciples, the oldest is sixteen or seventeen years old, and the youngest is only four years old. Since Qingyun Temple is still an orphanage in Qingyang Town, many disciples are orphans, and they became disciples when they were about 1 year old. , so the age among the disciples is absolutely uneven.
Those who come out to compete are basically teenagers who are over ten years old. In this part, there are more than a dozen people in this big competition. The number of these cats and dogs can make up a few competitions.
At that time, relying on Master Lingxu's real face, invite a few prominent figures in Qingyang Town to watch the ceremony, which can be regarded as supporting the scene, otherwise, there are only two or three kittens, and they will also learn from those great sects It's called "Dabi", wouldn't it make real martial arts people laugh out loud.
Qingxuan is eight years old this year, and the master competitions over the years have basically nothing to do with him.
Not only because of his young age, but also because of his seniority. As one of the few second-generation disciples in Qingyun Temple, the direct disciple of the "old god" Daoist Lingxu will never be asked to end In the competition, I can't even count on those gang of nephews who dare to ask me for advice. This made Ye Feng, who is an avid martial arts fan, only use two words to describe his mood at this moment - "depressed" and "embarrassed".
What's more serious is that although Qingxuan was introduced early, practiced martial arts for a long time, and has an early determination and high seniority, it is a pity that his master Lingxu has never taught any martial arts that seem to be more advanced, but only passed them on to him. A set of common goods in the Taoist mentality - [Nursing Qi and Yuan Gong].
It is not an exaggeration to say that this technique is popular, and Qingxuan also knows that as long as you go to Qingyang Town and buy a copy of "Martial Arts Miscellaneous Events" for three renminbi, there will be this kind of mental method in the martial arts exercises that come with it .
"Martial Arts Miscellaneous Records" is similar to the combination of newspapers and magazines in the previous life. It is issued by the mansion managed by the government, and it is sold in administrative units above towns and above in various places in Shenwu.
The journal records the big and small events that happened in martial arts all over the country, and it can be called the unity of gossip, news, interesting stories, rumors, etc. ranked number one in the world.
Depending on the month and issue number, of course there are also elementary martial arts such as [Cultivating My Mind], [Meditation Skills], [Small Stone Fist Practice Manual], [How to Use the Lancet], etc. books.
In the "World of Martial Arts", martial arts skills are divided into "ten colors and thirty grades" according to their high and low points, and the difference between their essence and crudeness.
The little Taoist Qingxuan didn't dare to expect to learn any advanced martial arts, but at least he also wanted to have a green-level martial arts, [Cultivating Qi and Yuan Gong]? Such a super cheap, low-level martial arts of the middle grade of the gray level really makes people feel ashamed. After all, it is considered a martial art, but it is actually practicing this kind of kung fu that only people who draw lots and fortune tellers can learn.
Among the "Ten Colors and Thirty Grades", the gray-level martial arts is the lowest-level martial arts, and it can be called the lowest-level martial arts. It is the martial arts skills used by people who set up stalls on the avenue, performers, butchers, and vegetable sellers to temper their physical strength and prolong their lifespan. They are basically "Three Character Classics" and "Hundred Family Surnames" as popular basic knowledge types. His kung fu is the low-end of the low-end, the elementary of the elementary, and it is not considered advanced martial arts at all.
Thinking of the nagging appearance of his cheap master when he taught the exercises, Qingxuan felt tired for a while. He also said that this exercise is the foundation of Taoism, and it is the most upright and peaceful inner strength method among the cultivation methods.
I bother!
It was just such a high-end product that was thrown on the ground that no one picked it up. At that time, I was so ignorant that I knocked my head three times on the spot. It's really shameful to be angry.
If that wicked cheap master fools me again, I will never bear it anymore, the Daoist. I will stroke his beard and scratch his bloody face when I go up, and let him be disrespectful and provoke the little Daoist. While making up his mind, the little Taoist Qingxuan stuffed the last piece of pastry into his mouth, chewed and bit it hard, as if he bit the master's nose instead of the pastry.
Qingxuan relaxed his ape arms, and after eating and drinking, Qingxuan yawned big, stretched comfortably, supported the tree trunk with one hand, and jumped down from the tree neatly.
Shaking off the cake scum on his chest and the dust on his buttocks, moving his somewhat stiff limbs, Xiao Qingxuan, who finished combing his Taoist robe, changed his lazy posture just now, and once again regained his fairy-like appearance and temperament.
The hair is combed in two rounds, and the toga has two sleeves.
The long-term guest outside the object, the eternal life boy in the mountains.
Xiao Qingxuan smiled faintly, very satisfied with his image. Then the feet were shoulder-width apart, the shoulders were slightly heavy, and the hands were lifted up to shoulder height, and then pressed down to the dantian, performing Taijiquan calmly.
Qingxuan's previous life, Ye Feng, was a martial arts fan. Not long after entering university, he joined a martial arts class organized by the school, and learned [Tai Chi] for several years from an old man who was known as the authentic heir of Chen-style Tai Chi. This set is different from the popular [Health Taijiquan], it is said that the old man got it from a different person in Wudang Mountain in his ancestors.
