Xuanqing Temple is located on Yuntai Mountain. It covers a vast area and has a huge building complex. There are hundreds of registered Taoist priests and other staff.

Of course, most of the people here are just ordinary people, or ordinary Taoist priests who have practiced some Taoist scriptures and methods. The threshold of metaphysics has never been lowered.

Because Xuanqing Temple, especially the front halls are open, it is regarded as a tourist attraction, so there are many staff members, who are recruited based on Xuanqing Temple.

Qin Gu introduced as he walked, he did not hide anything, obviously this little Taoist priest is not an ordinary person.

The three of them walked through most of Xuanqing Temple, Weiming took the initiative to say goodbye and left, Qin Gu said to Ruan Bei: "Weiming is the registered disciple of my fourth senior brother, a generation younger than the two of us."

"A registered disciple?"

"It's just that there is no formal acceptance of apprentices." Qin Gu said: "My fourth senior brother is very picky, and he must accept a talented person, such as me—"

Ruan Bei Na squinted at him with a playful expression.

Qin Gu then added with a smile: "There are also people like Xiaobei, who are actually very talented in Weiming."

"Don't compare me, I'm just a novice who doesn't know anything." Although Qin Gu has always heard that he has a good talent for yin and yang eyes, but he hasn't really started to learn, he is really a little uncertain and not very confident .

To enter the concept, you have to go to see the master first. As soon as you walk to Xu Ziduan's Qingxiu courtyard, you hear a clear baritone talking inside, full of energy and brisk tone, clearly it is the fourth senior brother Feng Ningrui.

Qin Gu suddenly felt something was wrong, and sure enough, Feng Ningrui's begging voice came from the yard in the next second: "Master, you already have that boy Ning Gu, didn't you agree to accept him as a disciple? Give me the yin and yang eyes!"

"Don't let!" Qin Gu pushed open the half-closed courtyard door with a menacing manner, as if kicking a hall.

Just as Xu Ziduan was about to teach him, he glanced at the strange boy who was following him, and immediately softened his expression: "This is Xiaobei, come on, let Master see you."

As he said that, he glared at Feng Ningrui angrily: "I said why are you rushing over here today? Feelings are here to rob people."

Qin Gu pulled Ruan Beichao's master over, and when he passed by Feng Ningrui, Wei Ming shrank his neck under his sharp eyes and hid behind his master.

Feng Ningrui didn't know it, he was worthy of his junior brother's sharp eyes, and poached the wall in front of him: "Xiaobei, why don't you worship me as your teacher? Look, the master is quite old, and with a young kid like you We can’t talk about it. I’m different, you worship me as your teacher, Master takes you out to play every day, play whatever you want, Master has plenty of money.”

Ruan Bei blinked his big eyes and looked at him. The sleepy Fourth Senior Brother is really a Taoist priest with a very personality.

Feng Ningrui is not very old, and Ruan Bei can't tell whether he is in his 20s or 30s. In short, he looks very young, and his clothes are particularly eye-catching.

He didn't wear a Taoist robe, but he had a T-shirt with graffiti on his upper body, and ripped jeans on his lower body. If it wasn't for the testimony of everyone present, Ruan Bei couldn't believe that he was a Taoist priest.

"Xiaobei!" Qin Gu squeezed his chin to prevent him from looking at Feng Ningrui: "We have agreed that you will be my junior brother."

"Yeah, it's settled, it won't change." Ruan Bei grabbed his hand, he didn't want to be inferior to Yunyun at all, he didn't even want to call his brother, let alone his uncle.

Satisfied, Qin Gu cast a smug look at his senior brother, and then pulled Ruan Bei to stand in front of Xu Ziduan, who was watching the play with a smile on his face: "Master, this is Xiaobei."

Ruan Bei obediently said: "Hi, I'm Ruan Bei."

Xu Ziduan waved to him: "Good boy, come."

Ruan Bei glanced at Qin Gu, and Qin Gu pushed him lightly: "Go over."

So he took two steps forward, Xu Ziduan stretched out his hand, and pointed between his eyebrows.

Ruan Bei saw the old Taoist squeeze his empty hand into a strange gesture, and he heard the sound of his chanting mantra, speaking fast and steady, but the content was hard to hear.

The spot where the center of the eyebrows were touched began to feel slightly cold, neither painful nor uncomfortable, a bit like using the Qingxin Talisman just now, but not so irritating.

After an unknown amount of time, maybe three to five minutes, maybe only a few seconds, Xu Ziduan withdrew his hand, his eyes sparkling slightly.

Feng Ningrui asked first, "How is it?"

Ruan Bei looked anxious, Qin Gu hurriedly comforted him: "Look at Master's expression, he must be very nice."

Ruan Bei looked at Xu Ziduan subconsciously, and the old Taoist nodded with a smile: "The talent is excellent, don't let your talent slack off, you must always be dedicated to learning."

was complimented!

Ruan Bei smiled and bowed to Xu Ziduan: "I know Master, I will work hard."

Xu Ziduan nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, Ning Gu, you take Xiaobei to resettle first. Ning Rui, you go and inform other people that the apprenticeship ceremony will be held tomorrow."

Feng Ningrui looked at Ruan Bei unwillingly, but unfortunately, even if he persuaded his master, Ruan Bei refused, and finally had to give up in dismay.

Qin Gu took Ruan Bei to put his luggage and backpack first. He would stay here for a few months every year, so he naturally had his own residence.It is also similar to the small courtyard that came out just now, it looks a bit like entering a courtyard, not so regular.

"The main room is occupied by senior brother, the fourth senior brother lives in the left wing room, and we live on the right side."

It is said to be the right wing room, but it is actually a row of houses connected together. After entering, there is a small hall for receiving guests. There are doors on the left and right. Qin Gu took him to look at it. The study, bedroom and bathroom are complete.

It looks like an ancient building from the outside, but the interior decoration is actually quite modern. Among other things, there must be electric lights and wiring.

"I rarely lived here in the summer, so I didn't install an air conditioner." Qin Gu knew that Ruan Bei was afraid of the heat: "I'll go talk to the logistics and ask them to install an air conditioner."

Ruan Bei is embarrassed: "No, no, I think it's quite cool here."

What he said was true. The temperature in the mountains was already cooler than outside, and it was obviously cooler after entering the house.

"Okay, if you feel hot, you must tell me."

Qin Gu carried the luggage into the bedroom: "You go take a shower first, and I'll tidy up the things in the suitcase."

Ruan Bei and Qin Gu were used to living together, and it was normal to see only one bedroom.

"You wash it first, I'll put it on." Ruan Bei saw that his back was wet with sweat, and didn't want to fight him: "You go, I'll call my parents to report that they are safe."

When he said that, Qin Gu went first, and Ruan Bei called his family and told them that they had already arrived at the master's place, so they don't have to worry.

While on the phone, I took out the clothes in the suitcase and put them in the closet.

Xia Tian's clothes were light and thin, and Qin Gu said that there were his clothes here, so they didn't bring much luggage, and they put them all away in a while.

Qin Gu came out of the shower and changed to Ruan Bei to wash. He looked around, ran out and wandered to the opposite side.

The fourth senior brother went to work, but he was not there, but the door was open.

They are brothers and sisters in the same courtyard, and the gates are generally not locked, unless they are traveling far away like him.

Qin Gu slipped in, and deftly dug out a pile of ice cream from the refrigerator in the small living room of his brother.

He picked and picked, picked a few flavors that he and Ruan Bei liked, and took them away.

When Ruan Bei came out of the shower, he was greeted with two boxes of ice cream delivered in front of him. Eating ice cream in summer is simply not too happy.

"Where did it come from?" Ruan Bei asked with a spoon in his mouth.

"Senior Brother Four invited you." Qin Gu's face remained unchanged.

"Fourth senior brother is so kind, I thought he would be angry with me." After all, he rejected him in front of his master, Yunyun and the unknown little Taoist priest.

"No, the fourth senior brother is very generous, so he won't get angry because of these trivial things." Qin Gu calmly ate his ice cream and comforted him: "Just remember to say thank you to him later."

"it is good."

Ruan Bei did what he said, and when the fourth senior brother came back, he immediately went to thank him: "Thank you, senior brother, the ice cream is delicious."

Feng Ningrui: "?"

Qin Gu added with a smile: "Thank you brother for inviting us to eat ice cream."

Feng Ningrui: "..."

Little bastard, I used to eat it by myself, but here comes a little junior brother who even eats and takes it.

"Brother?"

"You're welcome." Feng Ningrui gritted his teeth secretly, silently reminding himself that he must have the demeanor of being a senior and not lose his composure in front of the new junior.

"Look, I said that senior brother is very generous, right?" Qin Gu said with a smile: "Xiaobei, senior brother likes children the most. He bought a lot of snacks. If you are hungry, go to senior brother. Don't be polite."

Ruan Bei was embarrassed: "I'm not a child anymore."

Qin Gu didn't care and said: "You are the youngest in our generation, seniors should let you go, right, seniors."

Feng Ningrui smiled: "Yes, just come and find me if you want to eat."

His sharp gaze shot at Qin Gu, past his ignorant younger brother Ruan Bei. Qin Gu smiled back without changing his expression. He is a big old man, and he still likes sweets and snacks. He did this for the sake of his brother's health.

The next day, Ruan Bei was called up early. Last night they ate in the big canteen in the Taoist temple. They couldn't help but eat meat. There were many kinds of food and the taste was quite good.

Ruan Bei went to bed early at night. The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is huge. In the midsummer weather, at night, there is a cool breeze and it is not stuffy at all. Sitting under the eaves and eating watermelon is very pleasant.

The only bad thing is that there are a lot of mosquitoes, but there are mosquito nets, it's okay, anyway, Ruan Bei slept quite comfortably last night.

In the morning, Weiming sent him a Taoist robe. Although it was long-sleeved, the fabric was comfortable and breathable, and he didn't feel hot when he wore it.

Led by Qin Gu, they arrived at a side hall, which was not open to the public, where the ancestors of Xuanqing Temple were enshrined.

There are already many people in the hall, Xu Ziduan's first generation is gone, and there are six or seven people from his own generation. Ruan Bei met his second uncle Zhou Ziyi yesterday afternoon, and several other uncles. Xu Ziduan is a disciple of his uncles and uncles.

The next generation is the Ning generation, and the closest to Ruan Bei is of course a senior brother under the master. The senior brother has a job in Beijing and can’t come back temporarily. .

Several apprentices of the eldest brother, except for the youngest Weiting who still stayed in the temple to practice, the other adults followed him and couldn't come back.

The fourth senior brother confiscated none of the disciples who entered the house, and there was a long list of registered disciples. Ruan Bei also saw several Taoist priests who were older than the fourth senior brother, standing behind him respectfully.

There are many people of the younger generation, besides those who have a master, there are also some who know a little bit of the secrets of Taoism, but their talents are ordinary and they are devoted to the disciples. They look at Ruan Bei with envy.

There were too many people, and Ruan Bei didn't remember most of them. Yesterday he made up for the etiquette with Qin Gu, and today he asked clearly about the process of apprenticeship.

Xu Ziduan changed into a new Taoist robe today, saw Ruan Bei, and said to Qin Gu: "There is still a vacant room in the Weiyuan, why did you take Xiaobei there?"

"He just came here and only knows me, so of course he lives with me." Qin Gu had good reasons: "Besides, he is of Ning's generation after his apprenticeship, so it is not suitable to live in Weiyuan."

Xu Ziduan also thought about it: "But there are no vacancies in your yard?"

"Xiao Bei doesn't mind, does he?"

Ruan Bei was very unwilling to live with someone he didn't know, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, Master, I want to live with you."

Both of them were happy, so Xu Ziduan didn't ask any more questions, but Qin Gu looked around and asked, "Master, isn't your uncle here?"

He said that his master uncle is Xu Ziqi, the son of his master ancestor, but although he has a Taoist name in his sect, he can only be regarded as half a disciple of Xuanqing Temple.

Just like Qin Gu's grandfather is a physiognomy master, but he has the talent of a celestial master. Xu Ziqi's father is the master of Xuanqing Temple, a leader of a generation of celestial masters, but he has extremely poor talent in catching ghosts and subduing demons, but he is quite good at physiognomy. Advance.

The old temple master back then thought about it, so he just spared his face and sent his son to learn physiognomy. The master he worshiped was still Grandpa Qin Gu's senior brother, that is to say, Xu Ziqi still had to call Grandpa Qin Gu his uncle.

Because of these reasons, Xu Ziqi has always been close to Qin Gu.

"Unfortunately, your uncle went down the mountain a few days ago because of something." Xu Ziduan said.

Qin Gu was not surprised either, the uncle was a laid-back person, and sometimes when the mood came, it was not surprising at all to go down the mountain by car to go to other cities in the middle of the night.

Just a few words of gossip, everyone should have arrived, the auspicious time is approaching, and the ceremony of apprenticeship begins.

The person who presided over the apprenticeship ceremony was the second senior uncle Zhou Ziyi, who was the oldest among his peers present.

The hall fell silent in an instant, and Ruan Bei was so nervous that a thin layer of sweat broke out from his back. Following the voice of the second uncle, he knelt down to the patriarch and master.

Scanning the patriarch rankings, Ruan Bei could only see the middle one clearly, on which the patriarch's name was Xu Helai.

He was distracted, and silently recited a few words of this name in his heart, feeling that Patriarch is worthy of being Patriarch, the name is so fairy-like.

The salute was completed smoothly, without any accidents in the middle, and after the apprenticeship ceremony, Xu Ziduan personally recorded Ruan Bei's name in the Xuanqingguan notation book, and then he could change his words.

Qin Gu took the initiative to lead him to meet the elders, starting from the second uncle, called a group of people, and received a round of gifts.

Ruan Bei was shy at first, but Qin Gu was more active than him. The uncles laughed and joked about Qin Gu, and they were all very friendly and easy to get along with.

The brothers of the same generation did not let go, and finally the gifts were too much to hold, Qin Gu called Weiming Weiting to help, and two little Taoist priests followed behind them.

Ruan Bei, who was happily accepting gifts from his teacher, didn't know that in Jincheng, thousands of miles away, someone was terrified and gnashing their teeth because of a photo of him.

In the luxury villa, the handsome young man in a clean white shirt was staring at the small photo on the phone. In the photo, the young man had exquisite eyebrows and open eyes, and his transparent youthful air almost radiated through the photo.

But the handsome young man didn't have any desire to appreciate it. His fingers holding the phone turned white, and his handsome face became distorted due to jealousy, resentment and various bad emotions.

"Sibai? What are you doing sitting here?"

The voice came from behind, Lu Sibai subconsciously turned off the phone screen, adjusted his expression in a second, naturally put on a gentle smile on his face, turned around, his voice was soft and cheerful, "Brother, you are back, You've been working hard, do you want some tea? I'll make it for you."

The younger brother's words of concern made Lu Siyuan's heart feel as if soaked in warm water. He walked over with a smile on his face, and pulled Lu Sibai to sit down: "Not busy, what were you doing just now?"

"No reason, just chat with classmates, talk about study and so on." He took Lu Siyuan's hand and kneaded his wrist naturally: "Brother, you have to go to class and work at the same time, it's really good Fortunately, fortunately, my brother is smart and capable, so he can take care of it so well."

Lu Siyuan smiled lightly and shook his head: "You, you know how to make me happy, and you were even scolded by Dad yesterday."

"That's because Dad has high hopes for my brother, so I'm a little stricter on my brother. In fact, my brother is already very good." Lu Sibai raised his head, his watery eyes were full of admiration.

It's too late, time is running out, that annoying guy, why can't he nest in the corner peacefully, insisting on appearing in front of others to be an eyesore.

Lu Siyuan's heart skipped a beat, and somehow felt that his younger brother's eyes were different from before, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He is indeed busy, he has not yet graduated from university, and he is going to be an intern in his own company. He still has work to do at the moment, but his body consciously does not want to leave.

"How is your study recently? By the way, I heard that this year's top scorer in the college entrance examination is from No. [-] Middle School?" Lu Siyuan randomly picked up a topic, and he didn't remember who mentioned it. He thinks his younger brother is also a high school student, so he should have paid attention to it. .

The smile froze on Lu Sibai's face, a sternness flashed across his eyes, he lowered his head to cover it up, and said nonchalantly: "I don't know, brother, you know, our school... many students are planning to go abroad, the domestic college entrance examination On the one hand, it didn’t pay much attention.”

Lu Siyuan didn't go to this high school at the beginning, but he also knew some of his younger brother's courses, and knew that it was indeed more quality-oriented education, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The two brothers chatted a few more times, Lu Siyuan hadn't finished his work and couldn't sit still, so he told Lu Sibai and was about to leave.

Lu Sibai got up to see him off. When he stood up, he accidentally bumped into the kettle on the coffee table. He reached out to help him, but he failed. Half of the pot of tea poured on his chest, and Lu Siyuan also spilled a lot on his clothes.

Lu Sibai was wearing a white shirt with an excellent drape. After getting wet, the light and thin fabric stuck to his flesh, and the white shirt became translucent, revealing everything that should not be exposed.

Lu Siyuan glanced at it, and immediately turned his head away like a garish eye. It was obviously his own younger brother, who had taken a bath together when they were young, and had never seen anything before, but now he felt more embarrassed than not wearing clothes.

But Lu Sibai didn't notice it, and anxiously took out a tissue and wiped it on Lu Siyuan's body, with a pitiful voice: "I'm sorry brother, I didn't mean it, I, I will wash it for you, okay?"

"It's okay, I'll go upstairs and change my clothes." Lu Siyuan took Lu Sibai's hand and hurriedly said: "You go and change your clothes too."

Then went upstairs.

Seeing Lu Siyuan's back disappear and the smile on Lu Sibai's face disappear inch by inch, he was still too anxious.
