Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

At around ten o'clock in the morning, almost all the guests who came to watch the ceremony had arrived.

The old Taoist also moved to sit below the Three Pure Ones in the middle hall. To the right of the Three Pure Ones was the image of Zhang Tianshi. The people who were watching the ceremony were divided into two groups on both sides of the hall.

As the supervisor of this apprenticeship process, Lv Hao Ning stood in the middle.

"The connection with the Tao was made three lives ago. Today there is a good man named Zhao Qin, who is in harmony with the Tao. The connection is made three lives ago. Yesterday he accepted the offerings and today he converts to the Three Pure Ones.

We must remember the Three Treasures of the Dao, Sutras, and Teachers, and cultivate great wisdom, great purity, and great compassion.”

When he said this, Zhao Qin would prostrate himself on the ground and kowtow at the porch.

Zhao Qin was also wearing a Taoist robe today. His hair was short, so he couldn't tie it into a bun. Instead, he wore a Taoist hat.

"If you want to convert, you must embrace the heart of Tao, always serve the Heavenly Lord, and forever escape from the cycle of reincarnation. Then the heart of Tao will manifest itself, and enlightenment will become true."

The previous string of words were all instructions and requests to Zhao Qin. Having said this, he needed to kneel down and kowtow again.

Then you can step into the hall, go to the middle first, kneel down and worship the Three Pure Ones and Zhang Tianshi, then move to the bottom of the Taoist priest and kowtow three times.

Zhang Hao Ning asked someone to serve tea, and a little Taoist boy brought a tray with three cups of tea on it.

Zhao Qin first picked up the cup on the left and handed it to the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest took it but did not drink it. Instead, he stood up and placed it on the incense table of the Three Pure Ones. This was "Si Cha", which meant to ask for guidance from the Three Pure Ones.

Then he sat down and took the second cup of tea from Zhao Qin. This cup was for drinking, and he only took a sip, which meant "passing the tea".

The Taoist priest agreed to accept Zhao Qin as his disciple.

The last one is the third cup, named "Faith Tea". The Taoist priest would lightly dip his hand into the tea and sprinkle it on Zhao Qin's body, which means to warn his disciple to believe in Taoism devoutly.

After doing all this, it is time to receive the ordination.

In fact, this process is quite complicated. The so-called ordination is just like the Buddhist precepts. First, the person must fill out an application form.

Zhao Qin did not fill it out, the old Taoist priest did it for him. After filling it out, it was approved by the local temple and religious affairs department. This means that in the eyes of Taoists, you are a real Taoist priest.

However, the country or the people may not necessarily recognize it. A Taoist certificate is required. Only when the two are combined can one be considered a real Taoist.

The old Taoist thought that it didn't matter whether the people or the country recognized Zhao Qin, as long as he was recognized by the religion, so it didn't matter whether Zhao Qin's Taoist certificate was issued or not.

But the ordination is essential.

"He commands all the gods and ghosts in heaven and earth, subdues evil spirits, kills demons, summons spirits, controls mountains and rivers, cleanses the air, transmits memorials to the post stations, communicates with the gods, and grants the ordination of the beginning."

After Zhang Hao Ning finished reading, the old Taoist carefully stuffed a talisman into a pouch, stood up and hung it around Zhao Qin's waist.

Then he took out two books and handed them to Zhao Qin, they were "Tao Te Ching" and "Zheng Yi Jing".

"I hope you can devote yourself to cultivation and improve your body and mind."

"Thank you, Master, for the book."

The old Taoist smiled and helped him up. The process of becoming a disciple was now complete. The old Taoist took him and introduced the people who would be watching the ceremony today.

Most of them are the abbots of nearby Taoist temples. Anyway, he usually calls them uncles or seniors.

Then it was time for dinner. No matter what others said, the old Taoist just didn't take out the wine he made. He was so stingy.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they sent the spectators away one by one.

In the afternoon, Zhao Qin took Miaomiao to climb the mountain. He had good physical strength, so the little girl didn't want to leave and she liked him very much.

At night, he took out a copy of the Tao Te Ching and read two pages. It was really a hypnotic device. He felt sleepy after a while.

He put the book down and was about to fall asleep when the system screen popped up automatically.

[The system has an update, do you want to start? ]

Zhao Qin was stunned. The last update seemed to be when he went to Awang's house and fell down the mountain. He didn't expect that there would be an update this time when he came to Longhu Mountain.

By the way, should we visit more scenic mountains in the future?

After clicking Start, the system popped up a dialog box again, [This update will take about two hours. ]

No need to wait, he can just go back to sleep.

After all, he was worried about something and didn't sleep well. He woke up at around 2 o'clock and opened the system to take a look.

[Added function: Search function. You can search for the specific location of a certain object or fish, limited to twice a day.]

Zhao Qin was delighted. This function was very powerful. When he went to the sea, he searched for schools of yellow croakers and yellow croakers.

Anyway, searching for valuable goods is awesome.

On second thought, this function seems a bit useless. For example, if you want to search for tuna, the location is tens of thousands of miles away. Do you really have to go that far to catch it? It's not very realistic.

But it's better to have something than nothing. What if you find some good stuff nearby?

Just at this moment, an extremely fat mouse poked its head out from somewhere. In the darkness, its eyes were particularly conspicuous.

"It's a big dinner, how come it's so clean? There's nothing to eat."

Hearing these words, Zhao Qin's eyes widened.

There were only him and his dad in the room. The sound definitely wasn't from his dad because he was still snoring. So this sound...

"There doesn't seem to be anything to eat here. Where is their granary?"

"Fuck, I can actually hear you talking." Zhao Qin exclaimed in a low voice.

The mouse also froze in place, and his tone was even more surprised than his, "Fuck, I can actually understand what Twolegs say."

Zhao Qin was sure that he could really understand what the mouse was saying, and that the mouse could also understand what he was saying. Sure enough, every time the system was upgraded,

There will always be some hidden little features, and it seems this time is no exception.

Could it be that I can understand what all animals say?

Suddenly, he couldn't wait to go home and go out to sea. He wanted to brag and chat with the tigers and listen to how they cursed every day.

So excited and looking forward to it!

"Get out of here quickly, there's nothing to eat here." Zhao Qin said again in a low voice.

"If you tell me to get out, I'll get out. But be careful, when you fall asleep, I'll bite your ear." The little mouse was quite stubborn and actually threatened in return.

Zhao Qin pretended to stand up, and the little mouse quickly went back into the hole, cursing, "Two-legged beast, you can't stand being teased at all."

"Believe it or not, if I catch you, I'll squeeze the shit out of you."

"Aqin, what are you doing?" Zhao Anguo turned over and was a little puzzled when he saw Zhao Qin sitting on the edge of the bed.

"It's okay, Dad. I drank too much water last night, so I got up to go to the bathroom."

Zhao Anguo muttered something, turned over and continued snoring.

Zhao Qin also lay down again, feeling very happy. The two functions added this time were quite useful.

In the morning, he got up at around five o'clock and did morning exercises with his fellow apprentices.

The eldest senior brother, Wang Jiasheng, began to teach him Taoist Kung Fu. This kind of boxing is said to have practical combat capabilities, and it certainly does.

But Zhao Qin feels that the most important thing is to maintain health, and how to coordinate boxing and footwork with breathing.

After two sets of boxing, the sky was already bright, and a little bird was chirping on a branch not far away.

Zhao Qin listened carefully and said, "The morning air is really nice. This is my territory."

It’s interesting to see that little birds actually have strong emotions. Their early morning calls not only announce their territory but also express their joy.

"Junior brother, we are going into the mountains to collect herbs today. Will you join us?" asked the second senior brother Liu Jing.

"Second Brother, I don't know much about herbs."

"It's okay. I'll tell you which ones are in charge then."

"Okay, then I'll go with you, brother." Ever since the test two days ago, Liu Jing's attitude towards him has changed drastically, and he really treats him as his own junior brother.
