Broken mirror to practice Taoism

Taoist Xuefeng and Taoist Ling were talking, but Xue Yuandao didn't intend to interrupt at all.The two lost interest as they talked, and turned to look at Ergou again.

"Xue Taoist priest looks like a generation of proud disciples." Taoist Xuefeng praised.

Xue Yuandao's icy face moved slightly, as if frost was about to fall from his frowning brows.

"It's just the early stage of the Nascent Soul, so it's not a talent."

"Daoist Xue is making fun of me." Taoist Xuefeng smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm afraid that my apprentice will be less than 800 this year, but I can achieve such an achievement. It's a pity that I am already more than [-] years old, and I still haven't touched the door. If I can't enter the Nascent Soul this year, I'm afraid I will also perish like my father."

"Cultivating the Tao is not an easy task. If you fall, you can just let God's will." Xue Yuandao said indifferently.

Taoist Xuefeng couldn't bear Xue Yuandao's indifferent attitude, and said with a trace of anger: "If Daoist Xuefeng is like me, he will not be so calm!"

"That's not necessarily true." Ergou defended Xue Yuandao, "Cultivating the Tao is going against the sky. Master has already known the difficulties, so he is naturally prepared for it. If Master is in the current situation of Taoist Xuefeng, I am afraid that what he is thinking about Be diligent, not dwell on the future."

"Don't talk big!" Hearing Ergou defending Xue Yuandao, the little girl also helped her father and said, "Your master can treat my father so indifferently now because he has never met him. If one day he is like me Like my dad, I'm afraid I may not be as calm as my dad."

"Your statement is wrong, my master is calm."

"That's because he's not in the same situation as my dad is now."

"Then why did your father fall into such a situation?" Ergou asked back.

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and then angrily shouted at Ergou: "Why do you keep talking to your master!"

Er Gou was taken aback by the little girl's question, and then replied as it should be: "He is my master! Don't you also help your father?"

"He is just your master, and he has no blood relationship with you!"

"But I don't have anyone closer than my master." Er Gou replied casually.

He had no father or mother, and no relatives in this world.Xue Yuandao is his only master, and he is also Xue Yuandao's only apprentice.If you want to count, for Ergou, there is really no one who is closer than Xue Yuandao.

And just after Ergou finished speaking, Taoist Xuefeng and Taoist Ling inadvertently glanced at Xue Yuandao, and found that there was a hint of a smile on the corner of Xue Yuandao's mouth sitting beside them.The smile was always on Xue Yuandao's face, Xue Yuandao didn't seem to intend to hide it, he said slightly to Er Gou: "Okay, Er Gou, don't engage in any more verbal arguing."

"Oh." After hearing Xue Yuandao's words, Ergou honestly closed his mouth.

After Ergou closed his mouth, the little girl also closed his mouth, but she sat beside Ergou very unhappy, glanced to the other side, and ignored Ergou again.

"Thank you, Taoist Xuefeng." Xue Yuandao gave a slight salute to Taoist Xuefeng.

Taoist Xuefeng couldn't help being stunned, for a moment he couldn't remember why Xue Yuandao did this.

"It's rare for Taoist Xuefeng to travel thousands of miles from Xueling Dao to Tianling Dao to participate in the handover of the junior's Taoist master. This junior is really honored." The smile on Xue Yuandao's face was still there, and the words he said were very gentle, which made Taoist Xuefeng For a moment I didn't know how to answer the call.But Xue Yuandao didn't wait for Taoist Xuefeng to answer, and continued on his own, "Your disciple is young, so it's inevitable that he will be stubborn. Taoist Xuefeng must not take the disciple's words to heart."

Xue Yuandao was so polite, but Taoist Xuefeng couldn't bear it.

"Daoist Xue only accepts this one disciple, it seems that he loves him very much." Taoist Xuefeng realized.

Xue Yuandao didn't deny it either, but the smile in his eyes was deeper, "Only this one, naturally he loves him a hundred times more than others."

With Xue Yuandao's appearance, Taoist Xuefeng, not to mention the first time he saw Xue Yuandao, was stunned. Even Daoist Ling, who had been with Xue Yuandao for hundreds of years, couldn't help but stunned in place.

But Xue Yuandao didn't care about their attitudes, he just respectfully said to the two of them: "This handover, just happens to be on the right track of cultivation, and the little apprentice has no father or mother, so I want to take advantage of this handover to formally communicate with everyone. Let me know."

When Xue Yuandao said this, Daoist Ling and Taoist Xuefeng were even more shocked.

The handover of the Taoist master is a major event in all Taoism, and those who can accompany the next Taoist master during the handover are generally the closest disciples of the Taoist master.Back then Taoist Ling Yue handed over with him six apprentices including Xue Yuandao and Taoist Ling. Now these six apprentices, except for the two who fell, have not become the masters of the square courtyard in Tianlingdao alone.

Xue Yuandao only had Ergou as his apprentice, so it was normal to take him on handover, but it was not appropriate to take him on because he was the only one.In the past dynasties, there have been many people who succeeded to the position of Daoist masters who were devoted to cultivating Taoism but not accepting apprentices. However, in order to prevent this apprentice from becoming in power and suppress the enthusiasm of later disciples, they simply did not bring apprentices on the handover of Daoist masters.

You know, if you bring the only one.Then most of them will take him for granted as the next Taoist master, and even if more people join him later, they may not be able to surpass the status of the senior brother.Because of this, no one is willing to enter the Taoist sect again.

"Junior Brother, have you discussed this matter with Master?" Daoist Ling asked in a low voice in Xue Yuandao's ear.

In Daoist Ling's mind, Ergou probably put forward some conditions to Xue Yuandao, that's why Xue Yuandao acted like this.And Taoist Ling Yue, their master, probably didn't know that Xue Yuandao had such a plan.

"Master has agreed."

"I'm afraid the senior brother and the fourth senior brother will not agree."

You know, if Xue Yuandao hadn't brought the two dogs to the Taoist handover ceremony, then if something happened to Xue Yuandao, the Taoist would naturally fall into the hands of the most experienced Daoist Yue in Tianlingdao.But if Xue Yuandao brought Ergou with him, then everyone would naturally regard him as the next Taoist master.Then even if Xue Yuandao fell on the road of cultivating Taoism, the master of Tianlingdao would naturally fall on Ergou's head.

After being reminded by Daoist Ling, the smile on Xue Yuandao's face paused, and then he frowned.

Daoist Ling breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, "Junior brother, if you really love your apprentice, then remember not to push him into the cusp of the storm."

After Xue Yuandao heard Daoist Ling's words, his eyes under his frowning brows suddenly became firm, and he slowly said to Daoist Ling, "I want to know who is going to hurt him."

Daoist Ling wanted to say something else, but Xue Yuandao continued one step ahead of him: "Thank you for your kindness, brother. It's just that I finally made an agreement with Master, so I don't want to let it go. My apprentice has been with me for more than two hundred years. He is an adult." At that time, I did not give him the ceremony of coming of age, but now that he has entered the Nascent Soul, as a master, I want to give him the best ceremony of coming of age."

Ling Daochang has been with Xue Yuandao for many years, and he also knows Xue Yuandao's temperament very well.Now that Xue Yuandao had decided so, he didn't say much anymore.As for Taoist Xuefeng beside them, as an outsider, it was even more difficult to say anything.

After a few people chatted for a while, Xue Yuandao took Ergou and said goodbye to them.On the way back to Dongluozhuang, Ergou put his hands on the back of his head and casually asked Xue Yuan, "Master, do you really want to take me with you?"

Xue Yuandao walked on the stone steps step by step, and said in response, "En."

Er Gou didn't speak any more, and followed Xue Yuandao.

"As a teacher, no one will hurt you."

"I'm not worried about this." Ergou said with a smile, "I know how good Master is to me. But if this is the case, it may be really difficult for Master to receive apprentices in the future, right?"

Er Gou said so, but his heart was struggling desperately.

He expected Xue Yuandao's approval and became his only apprentice.But at the same time he was afraid...

He didn't know what he was afraid of, but he just felt afraid.As the only apprentice, but not the one closest to him.

"It doesn't matter." Xue Yuandao said to him, "As a teacher, I didn't intend to accept any more apprentices, and there are some things that a teacher must clarify."

"whats the matter?"

Xue Yuandao looked back at him, his eyes were on Ergou, full of doubts.

But Ergou understood some, but also didn't understand.Xue Yuandao seemed to be asking him, but not him.

"We'll know when the time comes." Xue Yuandao looked back and walked ahead, "I'm afraid you will be busy with me these days."

"It's all right." Ergou obediently followed behind Xue Yuandao, "Being busy with Master is better than doing nothing alone."

Xue Yuandao smiled lightly, "Don't you usually like doing nothing?"

"Is there?" Ergou asked, "I usually have nothing to do, it's not that I like doing nothing."

Ergou defended himself.

"Then I will take you to do some work as a teacher now."

After getting the matter from Taoist Lingyue with Xue Yuandao, Ergou realized that Xue Yuandao's "busy and busy" was definitely not a lie.The ceremony is only a small part of it, and the real drama lies in the ceremony behind.

The so-called "Li Yue Style" is not about etiquette, it is a real fighting.As the Lord of the Way, one must have the strength to support his title.Just like Daoist Ling said, a Taoist master never has only one disciple. Even if the Taoist master intends to pull his most beloved disciple to be the next Taoist master, this disciple must have sufficient strength.

This strength does not necessarily have to be force, but what is displayed in front of everyone is force.

So before that, what Xue Yuandao wanted Ergou to do was to try his best to improve his strength.

Ergou has now entered the Nascent Soul stage, but his Nascent Soul stage can almost be said to be picked.He didn't do any special exercise along the way, and now his Nascent Soul Stage can be regarded as a spiritual Nascent Soul Stage at best.But if he really wants to fight, he may not be able to fight through the final stage of alchemy like Taoist Xuefeng.
