The woman's eyes deviated from me to look at Meng Changqing, and then changed back to me after only one glance, the fear in her eyes appeared again. (.)
In the first second after the fear appeared, she stumbled back a few steps, then changed her target and rushed towards Meng Changqing.
Seeing her rushing towards her, Meng Changqing raised his finger and recited a Taoist incantation without saying a word. He didn't know the name of the incantation at the time, but he felt that the incantation was too domineering, and it sounded like Dao Hongyin.
Meng Changqing only chanted the incantation for less than half a minute, and the woman fell to the ground without moving.
My eyes were hurting badly at this time, and I blinked quickly to relieve the pain. After the woman fell to the ground, I saw a familiar figure beside Meng Changqing, which was Li Yan, the female ghost in white.
The way she looked at me was extremely complicated, and it might be because I didn't have enough experience. Anyway, I couldn't see clearly what was contained in her eyes when she looked at me. Although I didn't see it clearly, Meng Changqing told me afterwards that he said that Li Yan's eyes contained a lifetime of following and protection.
After seeing Li Yan, before I could speak, my vision went dark and I lost my visibility.
Afterwards, I felt Meng Changqing constantly fiddle with me, and it took me a while to barely open my eyes, but it was still very painful.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Li Yan's face, she asked me with worried eyes, "Are you okay?"
I saw her anxious face, and she was a little flattered, besides Xiaoxiao, she was the first girl to care about me so much.
After hastily saying that it was all right, Meng Changqing stood in front of me with a small black board in his hand, looked at the two of us and said, "Of course he's all right, now I wish you could take him back, this little bastard is very perverted. "
When Meng Changqing said this, a blush appeared on both sides of Li Yan's cheeks, and she lowered her head shyly.
I really thought about her carrying me back just now, but now that I was exposed, I was naturally very embarrassed, so I stood up with effort and wanted to go by myself.
After standing still, Meng Changqing stared at me seriously for a long time, and finally sighed: "How many secrets do you have?"
I was taken aback when I heard that, I have a ghost on my body, it's as simple as that, there is no secret, he probably wasn't talking about me!
Seeing that I didn't answer, Meng Changqing didn't talk about it any more. He changed the topic and asked me: "I have a predestined relationship with you. Would you like to join Taoism and be a disciple under my sect?"
I groaned, obviously didn't react, but two seconds later I was dancing with joy, ever since I saw Meng Changqing's deeds in the willow forest that day, I have been deeply attracted by Taoist things, I like those from the bottom of my heart Things, I wanted him to teach me, but he said that I have nothing to do with him, so I also knew that he would not teach me.
But now he has offered to accept me as a disciple, that is to say, I will call him Master instead of Master.
Master and master are completely two concepts. Master is just an honorary title. We can call everyone master, but master is different. The concept is changed with the word father.
Meng Changqing didn't say anything when he saw my happy appearance, but just stood aside and looked at me thoughtfully.
I asked him afterwards, why he accepted me as a disciple at that time, and he said it was entirely because I risked my life for a female ghost that I had never met that night, and I must have a compassionate heart for people. Xin, although my spirituality is not good, but my xinxing is very good, and I can barely enter Taoism.
There are many etiquettes in Taoism. Meng Changqing doesn't like these etiquettes in Taoism. My apprenticeship is also very simple. I just offered him a cup of tea and called Master. I wanted him to give me a Taoist name, but he said it was meaningless. , to be his disciple does not need to break off the layman's things, it is better to use the layman's name.
Of course, apprenticeship is a matter of returning to Anshun Temple.
It was Meng Changqing who carried me back that night, and Li Yan followed us every step of the way, stopping only in front of the mountain gate, and she couldn't step through the gate for now.
Meng Changqing and I entered the Taoist temple first. After he entered, he opened my eyes and looked at him, and said seriously: "You have more than just a ghost in your body. I want to ask, did you have anything to restrain it before?" ?"
I thought about it for a while, and guessed that he was talking about the blood of Second Grandma and Xiaoxiao.
"I don't know!" I can't talk about this matter casually, I can only keep it from Meng Changqing.
"There is nothing to suppress the ghost now, and it won't come out. It can only absorb your own soul to replenish it... Before you find a way, you should practice Taoism well, or you will really turn into a ghost by then."
What he said was so mysterious that I nodded in confusion.
"Also, the blood from your middle finger can't be used frequently. The blood will only be generated every once in a while, and you have to wait until the next time you use it."
I still nodded in confusion.
After he explained these two things to me, he sat on the edge of the table and carved the coffin board with a knife.
He said that it was a paulownia tree, and it looked like a board to outsiders, and only those inside knew how precious it was.
He sat there all night carving that board, and I fell asleep first when I was sleepy, and when I woke up the next day, there was no trace of him in the house, and the coffin board became a pile of debris on the ground.
However, there was an extra paulownia bracelet enshrined on the altar. I took a closer look and found that the bracelet had nine beads in total, each of which had a word engraved on it.
Together, it means that all those who are facing the battle will march forward in formation.
Meng Changqing only came back at night, and when he came back, he was carrying a few more fashionable bags in his hand. After entering the house, he handed the bags to me and said, "I know you young people don't like wearing Dao clothes, so I went down the mountain and bought some for you. A piece of clothing, your master and I are poor and can't afford expensive ones, so you can make do with it."
Since I was young, except for my parents, grandparents and second grandmother, this is the first time someone bought clothes for me, so I felt my nose sore right away, and I almost didn't cry. After holding back my tears, I said: "Thank you, Master. ."
He hummed lukewarmly, sat at the table and took a sip of water and said, "You worshiped under my door without your parents' consent. If your family finds you in the future, you can quit Taoism. Kiss in front of the teacher."
I didn't know how to respond to his words, so I just kept silent with my clothes on.
After resting for an hour or so, he introduced some common sense of Taoism to me.
Taoism in my country is divided into five sects: Zhengyi, Quanzhen, Zhendao, Taiyi, and Jingming.
The factions are different, and they focus on different things, but they all go to the same goal. What they pursue is only one word, Tao!
Most of the Taoist sects we are familiar with are included in these five sects. Among the main existing sects, Maoshan Sect and Longhu Sect belong to Zhengyi; Wudang Sect, Longmen Sect, and Zhengyang Sect belong to Quanzhen Taoism; Pai and Yuxu Palace Pai belong to Zhendao; Longevity Palace belongs to Taiyi.
The sect I joined was called the Yuzhen Sect, which belongs to the Jingming Dao. This Anshun temple is just a small Taoist temple under the Yuzhen sect. Meng Changqing didn't belong to this Taoist temple before. He only came three days earlier than me. According to other Taoist disciples, Meng Changqing was sent down from above.
He told me many things, that we even forgot to eat lunch, during which he changed the sandalwood on the incense altar over and over again, a total of nine times.
Nine times later it was exactly six o'clock in the evening, the sun had gone down and there was still some light outside.
Seeing that it was getting late, Meng Changqing got up and said a few words under the Sanqing portrait, then took the paulownia bracelet and said to me: "Let's go, let's go find your sister Li Yan."
I was about to talk about this, when he mentioned me, he immediately got up and followed behind him.
Meng Changqing knew where Li Yan was, and as soon as he came out of the mountain gate, he headed in one direction. After walking out of the mountain gate, he walked to the left. After walking for less than ten minutes, he saw Li Yan in plain clothes standing on the path in the forest watching silently. On the other side of the Taoist temple, they looked away when they saw us coming.
After approaching, she smiled at me, then bowed to Meng Changqing and said hello to Mr. Changqing.
Meng Changqing nodded expressionlessly, as a response to her, then he took out the paulownia bracelet and handed it to me, saying: "Hey, you give this to her."
I thought he made this thing for himself, but I didn't expect it to be given to Li Yan. His image immediately became bigger in my heart.
I took a look at the bracelet, then walked towards Li Yan, reached out to her and handed the bracelet to her, saying: "Master made this for you."
Li Yan stared blankly at the bracelet in my hand, and asked me with some uncertainty: "Is this for me?"
Just as I was about to say yes, Meng Changqing said behind me: "This is made of paulownia wood, if you want to stay with him, you can only live in this bracelet, otherwise humans and ghosts cannot walk together. "
After listening to Meng Changqing's introduction, I realized why he asked me to go to the funeral parlor to get some coffin boards. I thought he was trying to make things difficult for me, but it turned out that he had already planned the next step.
After Li Yan knew the function of this bracelet, she was so excited that tears filled her eyes, but she was too conservative and forcibly hid her excitement.
It's just that Meng Changqing and I have already seen it. No matter how much she hides it, her body still can't stop trembling slightly. God knows how much this bracelet means to her.
After Li Yan took the bracelet, Meng Changqing said: "When you live in it, you need someone to wear the bracelet, so you have to give this bracelet to the person you trust the most for safekeeping. When you find the person you trust the most, And I gave him the bracelet, and I will teach that person how to use the bracelet."
Li Yan stared at Meng Changqing intently, every time he said a word Li Yan would nod her head, showing how seriously she listened.
After Meng Changqing finished speaking, Li Yan lowered her head and fiddled with the paulownia bracelet. After a long time, she raised her head and looked at me with a reddish complexion. The corners of her mouth squirmed a few times without saying anything.
After hesitating for about ten seconds, she slowly walked in front of me, raised those jade hands and stretched them towards me, and said softly, "Can you keep this bracelet for me?"
I said ah right away, although I thought it would be fine if she handed the bracelet to me, but Master is a hundred times more powerful than me, and he is also respected by ghosts, even if I hand it over, I should give it to him, and I will at most think about it.
But I didn't expect that she really handed the bracelet to me, a little brat.
Afterwards, I thought about it, why would she trust me as an incompetent rural wild child? No result.
