Chapter 11: Apprenticeship

Views:

Xia Shao followed the old man into the study room and glanced at the furnishings in the study room. Xia Shao was stunned. shu mark 玷癞癹

The books on the quaint bookshelf looked even older. After a casual glance, Xia Shao was embarrassed by the names of the books.

"Book of Changes", "Zhai Jing", "Tibetan Classics", "Duanyi Tianji", "Liu Ren Yin Yang Jing", "Yi Si Zhan", "Shu Zang", "Qi Men Dun Jia"... In addition, there are "Laozi", "Zhuangzi", "Tao Zang", "Huangdi Neijing", "Nan Jing" and other Taoist and medical classics.

Looking again, there were compasses, tortoise shells, copper coins and other objects on the table. Xia Shao felt that her forehead was covered with black lines.

Is it possible that Mr. Tang, who is said to be an entrepreneur in the village, is actually a metaphysician

Her head was full of black lines, and the old man had already turned his wheelchair and sat in front of her.

"Girl, your name is Xia Shao, and you will be ten years old in four months. Am I right?"

Xia Shao nodded, knowing her thoughts very clearly. But she didn't say much, just waiting to see what the old man would say.

Sure enough, the old man looked at her while stroking his white beard, nodded and said: "I calculated your horoscope a few days ago, and you have a strange destiny. I also saw your bones just now. They are delicate and beautiful, and they are very suitable for me. From the same sect, I wonder if you are willing?"

In fact, the old man did not say everything in his words. There was another important reason why he wanted to accept Xia Shao as his disciple. Not only did she have a strange destiny, but also with his skills, he was unable to deduce her future fate! Years ago, he had observed that the secret was out of order, and he didn't know what the problem was for a while. But that day, when he saw Xia Shao's words that solved Professor Zhou's disaster, he suddenly realized that the secret must be in this girl.

Whether it was good or bad, he couldn't tell. But such a person who can change the destiny, and he is still a child. Since he has encountered him, it is natural to guide him well so that he can do good and drive away evil in the future, so as not to bring disaster to the world.

Most girls are not suitable for this profession. But it is not that everyone is unsuitable. The reason for the disorder should be hers. After some testing today, he could see that this child has a strong heart and a kind nature. The most rare thing is that her bones are indeed very good, which is rare. Talents who can pass on this lineage! Only then did he really think about taking on a disciple.

At this time, Xia Shao was also surprised. Although she had a premonition that today was very important to her, she did not expect that the result would be like this. To be honest, in her previous life, she had been very interested in the profound knowledge of metaphysics and Yili. However, she was already in college at that time, and she was busy with work after graduation, so she had no chance to be exposed to it.

Today, the old man proposed to accept her as his disciple, and she was naturally willing.

However, there are many schools of metaphysics, but few of them have inheritance. How does she know whether this old man is a master or a magician

"Is the grandpa talking about fortune telling? My grandma said that the blind man in the neighboring village was very accurate in fortune telling, and the grandson of Grandma Liu's family in the east of the village had his soul taken away by the old fox spirit, so he asked a master to take it back. "Xia Shao blinked, raised her little face, and smiled innocently and beautifully.

But the old man stared, blowing his beard and said: "Ah, bah, bah, bah! Those bastards who cheat people out of money and do a lot of harm! Don't even think about touching the toes of our lineage! We have a lot of people in our lineage. Seriously passed down! The Patriarch is Li Chunfeng, who is known as the Patriarch of Liuren and the first person in ancient and modern literature! It has been passed down from the Zhenguan period of the prosperous Tang Dynasty to the present, and has been passed down to my generation, Tang Zongbo, for one hundred and five generations. Looking at today, There are many founding sects of metaphysics, but none has been passed down longer than ours. When it comes to Feng Shui, divination, fortune-telling, and strange formations, except for our sect, no one dares to call itself Taoist!"

Tang Zongbo blew his beard and stared at Xia Shao. This girl looked cute, but her words could make people angry to death! How can those deceivers compare with Xuanmen

"Don't think our lineage is thin, that's because the recruitment of disciples is very strict. The first thing is to look at character. Those with evil intentions will not be accepted! Otherwise, Feng Shui skills and Qimen's killing formations will cause disaster. Extremely severe! Moreover, those with weak roots will not be accepted! For serious inheritance, there is a mental method to practice. How can you practice martial arts without a foundation? Finally, you have to pay attention to numerology and destiny, and not everyone can join the industry. You little girl, you get an advantage and still behave like a good girl!"

He shook his head and glared at Xia Shao, "You little girl, I think you have good qualifications and I want to accept you as my disciple. Please answer me quickly, are you willing or not?"

After all, there was a smile in Tang Zongbo's bright eyes. He must accept this disciple. He has been recuperating in the village for the past two years. Except for the old village chief who comes to deliver things, he can't avoid outsiders and feels a little lonely. He has no children in his life, and at this age, he loves children more and more. It is interesting to think about the future, there will be a female doll hanging around in front of him every day, chatting with him as an old man.

Tang Zongbo didn't hesitate to tell Xia Shao these things. Firstly, what he said was true. Secondly, if she wanted to get started, she would have to know these things sooner or later. Although at her age, she might not be able to understand it.

Tang Zongbo thought Xia Shao couldn't understand, but he didn't know that she was extremely shocked at this moment!

Her shock was all focused on one person.

Li Chunfeng

During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Li Chunfeng performed "Tui Bei Tu" with Yuan Tiangang? !

"Tui Bei Tu" can be described as a strange book of Eastern prophecies. Its predictions are so accurate that it has been listed as a forbidden (harmony) book in all dynasties. The reason is that the book not only predicts the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, but also predicts subsequent dynasty changes and major historical events. What’s even more surprising is that the order of these dynasties is completely consistent with history! The book even predicted major historical events such as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the invasion of Qing troops, and the Japanese invasion of China, and all of them came true.

At first, Xia Shao was extremely curious about the person who published this book, so he went to check a lot of information. Only then did I realize that Li Chunfeng's achievements were not limited to "Tui Bei Tu".

At the age of 9, he became a disciple of Taoist Master Zhiyuan. At the age of 17, he became Li Shimin's counselor and participated in the anti-Sui uprising. Later, after Li Shimin was named King of Qin, he joined the army. At the age of 25, he wrote "Fa Xiang Zhi", which covers astronomical observations and calendrical calculations; he also wrote "Yi Si Zhan", the first astrology masterpiece in ancient China, which is known as the encyclopedia of ancient Chinese astrology and is an ancient astronomy and meteorology book. Monographs; moreover, "Zhai Jing" and "Liu Ren Yin and Yang Jing" are also his works, and he is known as the Feng Shui Master and the Liu Ren Patriarch! Later, during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, he took charge of the Taishi Bureau and was in charge of astronomy, geography, calendar making, and history compilation. He was an out-and-out astronomer, geographer, mathematician, Taoist, and Yin-Yang Feng Shui expert!

Such an outstanding person is the founder of Xuanmen

If this is the case, then Xia Shao certainly has no reason to be unwilling. Although she may not necessarily take this as a career in the future, she is still very happy to learn more. What's more, these are what interest me. It will also be good for her to master more knowledge in the future.

Thinking like this, Xia Shao knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Master!"

"Ouch! Wait, wait, wait!" Tang Zongbo helped Xia Shao up, stroking his white beard, and said with a red smile, "This is not how to become a disciple. A direct disciple of Xuanmen, there are certain things to pay attention to when becoming a disciple. .You come in with me."

Tang Zongbo turned his wheelchair and walked to a room behind the study. Xia Shao quickly followed and helped him push the wheelchair behind him. Since she decided to become a disciple, the old man would be her master in the future, and she would naturally respect her elders.

Tang Zongbo turned to look at her and nodded with a satisfied smile.

There is an incense table in the room. In addition to incense candles and fruits, there are also pig heads, whole chickens, and whole geese on it. The three animals are all available, which is very grand. It seems like this has been prepared for a long time, just waiting for Xia Shao to come to worship the master today.

There is a scroll hanging on the wall. The old man in the portrait is wearing a Taoist robe, has a three-foot long beard, and holds a whisk in his hand. He looks like an immortal. Xia Shao concluded at a glance that this person must be Li Chunfeng's portrait.

Tang Zongbo sat at the table and said to Xia Shao: "First kowtow to the ancestor and offer incense, and then kowtow to the master and offer tea."

Xia Shao did as he was told, and then listened to Tang Zongbo's instructions: "You must remember the three rules and six precepts of our Xuanmen: firstly, you are not allowed to deceive your master and destroy your ancestors; secondly, you are not allowed to despise your predecessors; thirdly, you are not allowed to cause chaos in the world; fourthly, you are not allowed to cause chaos in the world. You are not allowed to fight, bite or kill, you are not allowed to commit adultery, thieves or evil, and you are not allowed to bully ordinary people. Do you remember clearly?"

"Remember clearly." Xia Shao said.

"Okay, okay." Tang Zongbo smiled and stroked his beard, "From today on, you are the 106th generation direct disciple of Xuanmen. Get up."

Xia Shao then stood up, and Tang Zongbo waved to her lovingly. Seeing how cute she looked, he couldn't help but be happy, "I never thought that I could have another apprentice in my sixtieth year. Come on, come on, this is for The teacher gave it to you."

Xia Shao was stunned, and there was already a small jade-carved gourd in his hand.

I saw that the jade gourd was white and moist, like gelatin, warm and delicate. In her previous life, Xia Shao loved jade very much. She immediately concluded that this jade gourd was carved from fine mutton-fat white jade! The saying that gold is valuable but jade is priceless does not matter in this day and age. Ten years later, the price of jade will skyrocket.

But what surprised Xia Shao was not just that the jade gourd was carved from mutton-fat white jade, but that the moment she took possession of the jade, she clearly felt a warmth infiltrating her body. In the cold weather of early spring, her body was actually a little warm.

This strange feeling made her unconsciously look at the palm of her hand with her celestial eye. She couldn't help but be surprised by this sight!

There is a golden aura surrounding the jade gourd! This is the third color Xia Shao sees after the two qi of yin and yang.

"Master, what is this?" she raised her head and asked.

"Haha, this is not an ordinary pendant. I tell you, this is a magic weapon! It was cultivated in the land of auspiciousness and is a good thing to attract good luck and avoid evil. If you wear it on your body, if there is a disaster in the future, It can help you block it." Tang Zongbo said as he personally helped Xia Shao wear it around her neck.

Magic weapon? Is it really that magical

Xia Shao was slightly skeptical, but then smiled in relief. Compared to things like her rebirth and the Sky Eye, the existence of magic weapons is not surprising. There are so many mysterious things in this world, many of which cannot be explained by science. But to deny its existence because it cannot be explained would be too arrogant. It is better to have some respect for the unknown.

"You are still on vacation, right? Then from tomorrow, come to the mountain every day. When school starts in the future, you will come back here on weekends. At your current age, it is not too late to practice martial arts and nourish your energy. The Five Arts of Xuanmen, If you don't know how to nourish Qi Kung Fu, even if you learn the other ones, it will be difficult for you to achieve great success. Come over tomorrow, and I will teach you slowly." Tang Zongbo said while touching Xia Shao's black hair and stroking his beard, his face flushed. He nodded barely, yearning for the days when he would no longer be bored.

Xia Shao, on the other hand, was clueless. How dare she believe that her master was not as majestic as the outside world rumored, but was instead an old naughty boy

Xia Shao didn't seem to understand much about practicing martial arts and cultivating Qi, but she was rarely excited in her heart. Today's trip up the mountain seemed to open a mysterious door for her. She stepped into it and her life was changed.

At this time, Xia Shao did not know that she would take this as a starting point and eventually become an existence outside the rules of the world.
