Become a disciple of Taoist Priest Four Eyes

Chapter 120 The song is ready

…

Xu Junming stepped forward and opened the door, saying loudly.

"As a junior, I came to Xu Junming to pay homage to my seniors. I hope you can meet me!"

"come in!"

A clear voice came from inside.

Xu Junming pushed open the bamboo door and was about to go in when he suddenly stopped and turned around to give instructions.

"You two stay here!"

Ah Fu and Ah Shou looked at each other and nodded.

They guarded the door and were not afraid that the new uncle would escape.

Xu Junming went in and closed the door. In the center of the flowery yard, an old apricot with lush branches was the most eye-catching.

Under the apricot tree, a middle-aged scholar in feathers and a high crown was sitting cross-legged with a chessboard in front of him.

Seeing his appearance, Xu Junming was shocked. The image of this person was the same as the stone statue he saw at the entrance of the giant clam cave.

Under the bronze mirror, the green energy in this man's body soared to the sky, and three feet above his head, it condensed into a big green tree that was three feet and nine feet high!

The big tree shines with green light, exuding a strong pressure.

"So strong!!"

Xu Junming was shocked.

He has never felt such strong pressure, dozens of times stronger than Maoshan Supreme Elder Qian Dinglin.

"Monk Nascent Soul!"

Only Yuanying monks have such powerful pressure. However, he also found that although the coercion of this middle-aged scholar was strong, it was a bit frivolous.

"come over!"

Seeing him waving, Xu Junming felt extremely vigilant and walked over quickly.

"senior!"

"Snapped!"

The middle-aged scholar made a move, and the black chess piece captured the red chess piece's 'knight'.

After nodding with satisfaction, he turned his face.

"Your chess skills are good!"

Xu Junming discovered early on that the chess board he had played was the same chess game he had played.

"Thank you for your appreciation, senior!"

"sit!"

He nodded and sat down on the futon opposite.

"Stay with me for another round!"

At this time, Xu Junming naturally did not dare to refuse.

The two of them played one game after another. At this moment, Xu Junming felt more pressure than before in the heart of the mountain.

From the frequent regrets in the past, it can be seen that this master is an eccentric character. If he wins and makes him unhappy, he will be no different than if he loses.

But if he loses, he won't be willing to miss the opportunity to leave.

"In that case, let's let it be a draw!"

But sometimes, a draw is more difficult than a win.

Fortunately, with the help of the bronze mirror, it turned out as he wished.

"Is the daughter of the He family beautiful?" the middle-aged scholar suddenly asked.

“The beauty of the sky and the beauty of the country captivate the country!”

"In that case, why not stay and be someone else's son-in-law? You know, how many talented people and dignitaries want to have such a woman as their wife but can't."

"No matter how beautiful you are, you can't survive the 'seven-year itch'. I would trade my life's path for seven years to work together, but a wise man would not do it!"

"The seven-year itch? This word is so new. However, as the world is in the end of the Dharma, hundreds of years of practicing Taoism will inevitably end up with a pile of loess. In this case, why not have a loving wife and concubine and be happy for the rest of your life?"

"Senior, have you heard of "Good Song"?"

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

"Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but they will never forget their fame;"

"Where are the ancient and modern generals and ministers now? The graves are piled with grass."

"Everyone knows that gods are good, but gold and silver cannot be forgotten;"

"In the end, I only regret that there won't be many people together, and when the time comes, my eyes will close."

"Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but only my beloved wife can never forget them;"

"I express my gratitude to you on your birthday, but you will go with others after your death."

"Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, only their children and grandchildren will never forget them;"

"There have been many infatuated parents since ancient times, but who has ever seen filial children and grandchildren?"

After listening to this, the middle-aged scholar was stunned for a long time.

"Although this poem is not very particular about its rhyme, simplicity, and antithesis, it contains profound philosophy of life. It contains elegance in its vulgarity. It must have been written by a wise and moral person?"

Xu Junming nodded.

"The person who sang this song was a lame Taoist in the market. It's a pity that the younger generation couldn't catch up and missed it. Even now, thinking about it, I still feel it is a pity."

"Hao Ge" is the essence of Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions", and Xu Junming remembers it the most!

"If you can discuss Tao with this person, it will be a great pleasure in life!" The middle-aged scholar nodded.

He looked at the chess game.

"Your chess skills are much better than mine. The fact that you came all the way here shows that you have amazing understanding. The fact that you can reject a beauty but not accept it shows that you have a profound Taoism. You are indeed a rare seed of Taoism."

"Thank you for the compliment, senior!"

The middle-aged scholar smiled faintly.

"Do you know why I set up so many tests?"

"Senior please clarify your doubts!"

"Eight hundred years ago, I entered the Tao with Qingmu, practiced hard for three hundred years, and finally entered the realm of Yuanying. Unfortunately, the heavenly way in this world has ended, and the spiritual energy has declined. Although I have understood the realm of Yuanshen, I am finally trapped in the realm of Yuanying due to lack of spiritual energy. , unable to advance even an inch. The intense calamity, but finally ended in defeat. If it weren’t for this 'mirage dragon diagram' to save a trace of the soul, it would almost be wiped out from the world. "

"After two hundred years, with the help of the 'Mirage Dragon Chart', I finally managed to repair my three souls and seven souls, and I was able to reincarnate. But if I want to enter the path again, I need someone to guide me!"

"I look down upon ordinary ascetics. Only those who pass various tests and come to me will be my future teachers!"

I thought I was selecting a successor, but now I found out that I was selecting a master.

"Senior has great magical power and unparalleled talent. I am afraid that I will mislead my disciples!"

"I believe in my own vision!" After a pause, he looked solemn and said, "Are you... willing?"

How could Xu Junming say he was unwilling at this time?

"Since the seniors like it, the juniors should do their best!"

The middle-aged scholar nodded, stood up and knelt down on his knees.

Xu Junming's heart moved, but he sat cross-legged without getting up.

"Master, come again, disciple Chen Lin bows down!"

After three kowtows, Chen Lin turned over his hand, and something the size of a basketball appeared in his right palm, with an uneven surface, like a seed. In the left palm is a golden book.

"This is the apprenticeship ceremony. I hope my mentor will accept it!"

Xu Junming reached out and took it.

What is written in the golden book is exactly the purpose of his trip. The whole article 'Qingmu Shangyuan Gong', as well as Chen Lin's insights on practice.

"What is this?"

It was the first time that Xu Junming encountered the bronze mirror that could not be seen through.

"The disciple doesn't know either. By chance, I found this thing in the middle of a mountain in Ailao Mountain. At that time, I saw that it sucked up the spiritual energy of the mountain, so I knew it was a treasure. I followed the disciple for five hundred years and sucked in the green wood for another five hundred years. Aura, it didn’t die out until January ago.”

"The disciple faintly sensed an astonishing vitality from it. I expected it to be good, it should be a rare and high-quality spiritual root."

"Spiritual roots?" Xu Junming was delighted.

Chen Lin nodded.

"As for what the spiritual root is, I don't know. I originally wanted to wait for it to gather enough spiritual energy and take root, but now that my reincarnation is imminent, I will dedicate this thing to my master for cultivation!"

Xu Junming nodded, took the black seed in his hand and played with it, feeling a little expectant in his heart.
