Views:

The next day, all the Seven Quanzhen disciples in the Sanqing Hall of the Quanzhen Sect stood in front of the statue. The three generations of disciples stood on both sides, and their eyes were focused on Le Yuan in front of the Seven Quanzhen disciples.

"The apprenticeship ceremony begins now." Qiu Chuji announced the beginning of the entire ceremony.

Ma Yu, one of the protagonists of this apprenticeship ceremony, began to speak, "As a disciple of Quanzhen, you must know that Quanzhen Sect is inherited from Taishang Laojun, performed by Emperor Donghua, and inherited from Emperor Zhengyang Zhongliquan and Emperor Chunyang Lu Dongbin, the second ancestor, preached and started the sect in Chongyang, the Quanzhen Kaihua Fuji Emperor—Wang Chongyang. Come, Leyuan, come forward and offer incense to all the ancestors."

"Yes, Master." Le Yuan took a bunch of incense with his right hand, burned it with a strong fire, held the incense with his left hand at the top, and held it with his right hand at the bottom, raising it high above his head in a salute. After paying homage to each ancestor, put the incense in the ashes.

"Okay, since you have offered incense to my Quanzhen Patriarch, let's start the new apprenticeship ceremony." After saying this, master Ma Yu sat on the upper seat, but what Leyuan did not expect was that Sun Buer also sat on the upper seat.

Seemingly seeing Le Yuan's doubts, Ma Yu said, "Your seventh uncle, Qingjing Sanren, was my wife before he became a monk. Although he was inspired by his mentor to join Quanzhen and became one of the seven sons of Quanzhen, after all, he was once My wife, you still deserve this apprenticeship ceremony, you can treat her as your master wife." Following Ma Yu's words, Le Yuan seemed to see a hint of blush on Sun Buer's face.

Since the master said this, Le Yuan certainly had no doubts. He kowtowed respectfully three times, then offered tea to the master and his wife, and then said, "I have nothing to gain, so I have to make a bowl of longevity noodles." To the master, I hope the master likes it."

"Haha, you made this with your heart. You have such filial piety, how can you be dissatisfied as a teacher?" After saying this, he finished the birthday noodles with a smile, finished the noodles carefully and put the bowl on the table aside. superior.

Those who have made fifteen comments can be observed in detail by those who are aspiring in the police sect. (Beyond this world)"

After saying the "Fifteen Treatises on the Establishment of the Chongyang Religion", Ma Yu paused, and then continued, "The "Fifteen Treatises on the Establishment of the Chongyang Religion" are what every Quanzhen disciple must do, but as my disciple, in addition to In addition to the above-mentioned rules of communication, I also have other "Ten Admonitions" for practicing Taoism -

Cut off drinking, sex and wealth, right and wrong. Fourth, get rid of worries and thoughts, and think of love in the green. If a thought arises, you should quickly dismiss it. During the twelve o'clock period, you should always search for your own mistakes. If you feel that you are biased, you should correct it immediately. If you are flattered five times, you must not pretend to be a good person and accept support from others. The six precepts are ignorance of the fire of karma, always practice patience, restore greatness with kindness, and be selfless to all things. Be cautious about your words, be careful about your food, be careful about your taste, abandon your glory, and never hate your love. 8. Don't learn strange things, always do your duty, just eat and make a living, don't get involved in any dusty work. There are no more than three questions in Jiuju nunnery, and no more than three Taoist companions. If there is any illness, everyone will support each other. If you die, I will bury you. If you die, you will bury me. Or if you don't see something somewhere, give me advice and don't have any dissatisfaction. 10. Do not have the desire to win, always practice convenience, harm yourself and benefit others, even if you live in a dark room, you will be like a sage, poor and weak, be submissive to others, live in the green, avoid greed and caution, be carefree and determined to practice. Be consistent, be careful not to let go of laziness, it is true to have a pure heart and do nothing, it is good to have a pure mind and no evil, nourish your energy and whole spirit, always be compassionate, secretly accumulate merit, do not ask others to know, but look to heaven for observation. Can you do this? "

When he said "Can you do it?", Le Yuan felt a pressure coming over him and looked at his master Ma Yu. The master's face was serious and his eyes were staring at him, although the pressure continued to surge. To himself, Le Yuan still nodded and said, "I can do it, master."

With these words, the heavy pressure on Le Yuan disappeared in an instant, and a bright smile appeared on Master Ma Yu's face, "Okay, in that case, I will personally tie up your hair in a bun and put on a Taoist robe for you. "

When Le Yuan was dressed, the Seven Quanzhen disciples looked at the current Le Yuan and couldn't help but sigh, "What a handsome young man. He is not tied to things, not stuck in narrow limits, he takes advantage of things to enjoy himself instead of being enslaved by things. He is quite a handsome young man." He looks like an immortal."

"Okay, Le Yuan, since you have officially joined my sect, I will give you a Taoist title. How about Zhi Yuan?" Master Ma Yu said, stroking his beard.

"Thank you, Master, for the name." Of course Le Yuan was not pretentious and accepted it happily.

"Our Quanzhen sect is characterized by the "unity of three religions", "all essence, all energy, all spirit" and "all suffering for oneself and benefiting others". Although it is called a sect, it is actually a martial arts sect, and its disciples have some martial arts skills. , but as my disciple, you must remember that martial arts, martial arts, defend the Tao with force, martial arts is just a means, seeking the Tao is our goal, remember not to sacrifice the basics for the sake of the weak." Ma Yu emphasized again and again.

"I see that your body has not grown up yet. How about learning the essence of Taoism first, and then practicing martial arts after you have polished your body?" Ma Yu asked.

"This is arranged by the master, but the disciple is very interested in medicine. I wonder if it is possible to practice medicine while studying Taoist scriptures." Le Yuan asked sincerely.

"Well, as long as it doesn't delay your studies, it's not a big deal to practice medicine." Master Ma Yu agreed with Le Yuan's suggestion, "Come and let me teach you the Quanzhen Dao Song first. This is our introduction to the Quanzhen Heart Method. , although you may not be able to develop your internal strength now, but meditating quietly will also be beneficial to your future martial arts practice. I say you remember - at the beginning of the Great Dao, you can cultivate the nine orifices. The nine orifices are originally at the Weilu point. First, start with the soles of Yongquan's feet. Chong, the gushing spring rushes through and gradually reaches the knees. The knees pass slowly to the tail gate, and the top of the mud pill is swirling. The secret whisperer transmits the original enlightenment, and there is no trace when he comes. The dust and dirt are wiped away over the years, and the whole body is filled with bright light and Taixu. . What is the basis for the living memory of cultivation? The heart is dead and the emotions are not alive now. The energy is filled with the martial arts tools, and the spiritual light shines all over the divine capital. The golden lock passes under the Magpie Bridge, and the twelve heavy towers descend into the palace. How can I remember it, if I don’t remember it? Lao, can I ask your senior brother for advice?"

"Master, I have already remembered it." Le Yuan answered directly without hiding anything.

"What, you have memorized it. Although the Quanzhen Dao Song is not long, it is quite difficult to memorize it. Please recite it to me." After saying this, he listened quietly to Le Yuan's recitation.

Le Yuan recited it word for word smoothly, and Ma Yu's face glowed red after hearing this, "Well, Zhiyuan, your memory is good, but no matter whether you are practicing martial arts or learning Taoism, relying on memory alone is useless. You must know what you do and what you do." 1. You will have to recite it more in the future, so I will teach you a set of Wuqinxi to polish your body now. You should watch it carefully."

Afterwards, Ma Yu showed the 8 movements of the tiger, 8 movements of the deer, 8 movements of the bear, 10 movements of the ape, and 10 movements of the bird one by one in front of Le Yuan, and the set was completed. Ma Yu didn't sweat at all, and said calmly, "Zhiyuan, how many of these Five Animals can you remember? Come on, one by one, and I will guide you step by step."

"Disciple, give it a try first. Master, please point out anything inappropriate." After speaking, Le Yuan repeated Ma Yu's actions just now.

Although Le Yuan's body is like that of a child, it is still stronger than ordinary people after being strengthened. After finishing the Five Animals Opera in one go, except for some sweat on his forehead, he finished it perfectly.

"Zhiyuan, have you practiced this Five-Animal Opera before? How come you are so familiar with it?" Looking at Le Yuan who was wiping his sweat after just finishing a set of Five-Animal Opera, Ma Yu seemed to want to look at Le Yuan from the inside out. all over.

"Master, this is my first time learning. I have heard the name of Wu Qin Xi before, but this is my first time seeing it. I am quite talented at imitating movements. When I was learning cooking before, I imitated it very quickly. "Maybe it's because I have sharp ears and eyesight." Le Yuan laughed and revealed part of his talent.

"Oh? I didn't expect Zhiyuan that you have such a talent. Then it will be much easier for me to teach you martial arts moves in the future. But you must remember that the most important thing in martial arts is to apply it. The most important thing in martial arts is to apply it. You can't master dead moves. On the countertop." Ma Yu persuaded Le Yuan, and then led Le Yuan to identify the various places of the Quanzhen Sect, and then pointed to an independent tall building and said, "This is the Sutra Building, and it is also one of the most important places of our Quanzhen Sect. First, our religion pays attention to the unity of the three religions. The essence collections of each religion collected since the establishment of the religion are all stored here. It also contains the notes of your master, me and your uncles, and of course the medical scriptures you want. The miscellaneous classics are also here."

Then he walked to a bookshelf, took out a book and handed it to Le Yuan and said, "This is the "Tao Te Ching", which is also the first book you want to read. More than a thousand words, clarify the purpose of tranquility and inaction. The upper one can understand the Tao, the middle one can cure the body, and the external one can cure the person. This is good for you, and the classics in the Sutra Tower cannot be defaced, torn, or taken out of the Sutra Tower. , you can copy it if necessary, do you know?"

After speaking, he stared at Le Yuan and said, "Disciple knows, can I also read books other than the Tao Te Ching?"

"Of course, this scripture building is the place where my teachings are passed down, not the martial arts. Most of them are Taoist classics. Most of the disciples are obsessed with martial arts and have neglected Taoism. You must remember not to imitate them. Every morning and evening classes must be Be there, do you understand?”

"I understand, master, I will study hard."

"Well, Tao cannot be learned by studying, it must be understood. But if you are just getting started, you should start from scratch and slowly learn and realize."
