Chapter 30 Apprenticeship
·
Zi Meng You Long
In this way, I followed the old Taoist and left Jiushan Village where I had lived for nine years, and embarked on a new journey.
This walk also completely changed my destiny.
Following the old man and leaving home, I entered the county for the first time, took a train for the first time, and after a long journey by train, we arrived at a big city called Yanbei.
Don't look at the old man dressed in rags, like a beggar, he lives in a good place, it is a very beautiful courtyard, and there is a very vicious servant in the house.
The man looked to be in his thirties, with a beard and tiger eyes. When he looked at people, he felt the murderous look in his eyes, which made people shudder.
When I saw this man for the first time, I was a little apprehensive.
But even though this man looked vicious, he was very polite to me and Master.
As soon as they met, the man stepped forward and said, "Master, young master, you are back."
The master didn't even look at him, he just waved his hand and said, "Huzi, get ready, I'll do my teacher's salute in a while."
Hu Zi responded, walked towards me, and said, "Young master, come with me."
Huzi led me to a room where there were prepared meals, all of which were good things I had never eaten before. I was really hungry all the way here, so I immediately took the food on the table The food was swept away.
After I had eaten and drank enough, Hu Zi came forward and said, "Master, you are so lucky to be accepted as an apprentice by your master. Do you know that there are eight hundred people who want to be apprentices, but The master only selected you, which means that you must have something special."
I don't know if there are any advantages. Anyway, every time I take the test, I am the last one in the class, and my grades have always been stable.
This may be what he was talking about.
Afterwards, Huzi came over and explained some of the process of apprenticeship to me.
At that time, I was only nine years old, and it took several hours just to write down the things that Huzi explained.
This is really difficult for a nine-year-old child.
After explaining these things clearly, Huzi took me to a hall in the courtyard.
When I saw the old Taoist again, he had already put on a new outfit, a brand new Taoist robe, and he seemed to have taken a bath, which smelled delicious.
To be honest, following this old way to this place along the way, people often looked down upon me.
This old man didn't know how long he hadn't showered, and the smell on his body was a bit spicy. When we got in the car, the seats on both sides of us were empty.
It was just for the ceremony of worshiping the teacher that the old Taoist made a special effort.
Not to mention, with such an orderly manner, this old Taoist still looks a little fairy-like.
Huzi brought me in front of the old Taoist and made me kneel down.
The old Taoist glanced at me first, and then said in a deep voice: "Wu Jie, before apprenticeship, the poor Taoist has something to say to you. It is fate that you join my strange sect, and it cannot be violated. Since you joined my As a Qimen sect, one must abide by the rules of the Qimen sect. First, do not use what you have learned, and do not do evil things; second, respect the teacher and respect the way, and do not disobey the teacher; , I will talk about this later..."
When I heard that, I was stunned for a moment, you didn't think about it, what did you say, it seems that you are not fully prepared to accept apprentices.
Even the tiger beside him was shocked, and his face became a little embarrassed.
After a pause, the old Taoist said again: "My Qimen school is the number one Fengshui school in China. It is broad, profound, and infinitely mysterious. You will know this after you learn it. However, our school has always been passed down in a single line. It is said that a master can only accept one apprentice. Pindao has waited for decades for you boy, and now I finally got it. It is not in vain that Pindao has worked hard. If you accept apprentices in the future, remember that you can only accept One, did you hear that?"
"I remember." I said.
"Okay, let's start." The old man waved his hand.
Afterwards, I knelt on the ground according to what Huzi explained before, and said in a stuttering voice: "The teacher's way is great...Introduction to teaching and investing in one skill is the strategy to support the family. If you are rich, you will benefit the world. If you are poor, you will be alone, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. Today, there is a foolish student Wu Jie, who was lucky to meet a famous teacher. He is willing to learn from the industry, cultivate his life, and cultivate morality. , I will never forget it, I love myself, I will never go back on my word, I would like to base it on this to show my solemnity."
These are all taught to me by Huzi before, and it took me a lot of effort to memorize them. The words were very blunt, stuttering, and sometimes I forgot the words. Huzi reminded me in a low voice, and I finally finished memorizing this paragraph .
I actually have a different opinion on the phrase "love comes out of itself, never regrets" among these words.
It was not my intention to worship him as a teacher. I didn't know why I became his apprentice in a daze.
As soon as these words were finished, Huzi brought a document that had been written before, and asked me to put a fingerprint on it.
From then on, I will tell this old man.
Afterwards, Hu Zi suddenly said loudly: "The apprentice bows to the master."
As he said that, Huzi handed me a lot of things, including celery, lotus seeds, red beans, dates, longan and so on.
I gave all these things to the old Taoist.
All of these have their own sayings. Celery means hard work and studious, proficiency in work and hard work, and lotus seeds are hardworking, which means painstaking teaching.Red beans represent the meaning of good luck, and longan represents the completion of merit and virtue...
After I handed these things over to the old Taoist, Hu Zi immediately shouted: "Continue to pay homage to the teacher."
"One worships the teacher and respects it, and it benefits others."
"The second worship is to pass on the knowledge and teach the industry, to enlighten and dispel doubts."
"Three worships to thank the teacher, the world is a mirror."
Huzi read it once, and I kowtow.
After kowtowing, Huzi brought a bowl of tea, I handed the bowl of tea to the old Taoist, and the old Taoist drank it, and I will be his apprentice from now on.
After the completion of the ceremony, the old Taoist smiled and nodded, and said, "Wu Jie, you will be the apprentice of the poor Taoist from now on, and after the accident, you will be the next head of my Qi sect."
It's okay if I don't say it, but I feel depressed when I say it.
I'm so embarrassed to say something headmaster.
The person who is the head of the family has countless disciples and is superior.
Our Qimen sect has been passed down in a single line through the generations. I am the co-master, and I am the disciple. I am the only one inside and out. What kind of broken leader is this.
After the first day of apprenticeship, nothing happened, so Huzi took me down to rest.
I had a room to myself, and after the dead of night, I felt lonely and homesick.
I don't know what happened to grandpa, did mom and dad miss me, did Xiaopang's injury heal after I left, and did he still walk sideways like a crab.
This walk also completely changed my destiny.
Following the old man and leaving home, I entered the county for the first time, took a train for the first time, and after a long journey by train, we arrived at a big city called Yanbei.
