Zhong Liquan gave Chen Yun one day to pack his luggage.
Maybe consider practicing elsewhere for the next year.
Chen Yun thought for a while and decided to say goodbye to several of his relatively close fellow long-gong brothers.
He took the lead in arriving at the Jingxin Hall.
It happened that Senior Brother Ning and the new Junior Brother He were cutting and washing vegetables.
Chen Yun stepped forward to say hello: "Senior Brother Ning, how are you doing lately?"
"Ouch, Senior Brother Chen, why are you here?" Senior Brother Ning quickly stopped cutting the meat, wiped his hands on the cloth, pointed to the outside with a smile on his face and said: "The kitchen is dirty, let's go out and talk about it."
"good."
Chen Yun responded and went to the cafeteria outside with Senior Brother Ning.
The two sat down at the table. He looked at Senior Brother Ning and said, "The chef has recruited a new Junior Brother. Senior Brother Ning, are you going down the mountain soon?"
"Yes." Senior Brother Ning couldn't help but sigh: "Our group of familiar brothers is almost finished. Starting from Senior Brother Zhang Qian, followed by Senior Brother Tang, Senior Brother Li Si, Senior Brother Ding and others, they all came down the mountain. Yes, oh, by the way, over at Nuhongfang, Yu Luping has also gone down the mountain. As for Wang Siyan, I heard that the five-year term will expire in half a year. I really envy Brother Chen that you can become the disciple of the ancestor, but it is a pity that we are not blessed. ."
yes.
There are fewer and fewer familiar people in Missionary Temple.
Chen Yun couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Parting is always sad.
He asked casually: "What are you going to do for a living after you come down from the mountain?"
Senior Brother Ning laughed loudly and said: "With my cooking skills, I can make a living wherever I go. Senior Brother Chen, don't worry. Besides, I have saved a lot of money over the years. I went back down the mountain and found Lu Ping." , prepare to be with her... ahem, well, we have made a lifelong commitment, and we are going to get married as soon as we go down the mountain."
Chen Yun looked over in surprise and said with a smile: "Everyone has been eyeing the two senior brothers from Nu Hongfang for a long time. No one had a chance to succeed. I never thought that senior brother Ning would secretly sneak into Chencang and capture senior brother Yu."
"Hehe." Senior Brother Ning said in a very good mood: "She and I are fellow villagers, and we are relatively close. It's a pity that her and I both lost our families due to the war. We are afraid that we will have no relatives to witness our marriage."
As he said that, he changed the subject and said: "I have made a private life-long engagement with Lu Ping, but Wang Siyan is not an unfaithful person. Lu Ping once said to me secretly that Wang Siyan seems to be very happy with you, Senior Brother Chen."
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Chen Yun coughed a few times and laughed dryly: "I don't have much interaction with her, so why are we happy or unhappy?"
Well, in fact, he already knew that Wang Siyan was interested in him.
However, as Chen Yun said, he didn't have many interactions with Wang Siyan. The reason why he was interesting to him was probably because he knew that he had joined Zhongli Quan's sect.
Ascetics are not prohibited from marrying.
There are only a few Taoist branches that require real "monasticism".
For example, disciples of the Quanzhen Sect not only cannot marry, but they also abstain from eating meat and fish, which is similar to Buddhist rules.
Judging from the history of the development of Taoism, before the rise of Quanzhen Religion, Taoism had always been a very secular religion.
Most Taoists practice medicine to help the world and those in need while cultivating immortality.
In addition, there is no prohibition on getting married and having children.
The taboo on marriage originated from the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and Taoism and Buddhism learned from each other in doctrine and theory.
However, at that time, it was only a theory of commandments and had no substantial impact.
The Quanzhen sect, which accepted this strict precept theory, completed the construction of its theoretical system during the Tang and Song Dynasties, and reached its peak in the Yuan Dynasty with the favor of the rulers.
The Taoist temple where Chen Yun lives is not even considered a Taoist sect. It can only be regarded as a Taoist sect, so naturally, marriage is not allowed.
On the contrary, Zhong Liquan has always encouraged formal disciples and long-term workers in Guanzhong to get married.
Marriage and having children are human principles, and immortality cherishes life, so how could it be possible to prohibit the reproduction of offspring?
The two chatted for a while.
Considering that Senior Brother Ning was still busy with work, Chen Yun did not interrupt for too long.
At the end of the chat, he took the initiative to take out a dozen hand-drawn talismans and handed them to the other party, "Senior Brother Ning, I may have to go out for a year and a half recently, and you won't be able to see me off when you come down, so I specially made some Talisman, I hope it can keep you safe."
Senior Brother Ning took the talisman and said with a grateful expression, "Thank you, Senior Brother Chen. Lu Ping and I are going to buy some fields to settle near Chang'an. From now on, Senior Brother, when you go to Chang'an, you can come find me and Lu Ping to reminisce."
Chen Yundao: "Good."
Farewell to Senior Brother Ning.
He instinctively walked towards Nühongfang.
However, he was not far from Nvhongfang, so he finally sighed and turned back to the inner courtyard.
In a sense, Chen Yun knew that he and Wang Siyan had similar personalities, and they both knew what they wanted.
What Wang Siyan wants is to marry a "real man".
I just want to live forever and don't have much time and energy to focus on the love between my children.
Because he knew what he wanted, Chen Yun felt that since he couldn't give Wang Siyan what he wanted, it was better not to provoke him.
Unexpectedly, even if he didn't provoke her, the other party would come looking for her.
…
Not long after dinner, the sunset was still hanging in the sky.
When Chen Yun left the Jingxin Hall, Wang Siyan's shout came from behind.
"Senior Brother Chen, please stay."
Chen Yun turned around and saw Wang Siyan walking forward quickly.
Wang Siyan looks beautiful tonight.
He could only think of half a poem to describe:
"The pupil's waist is cut like a bundle of water, and a piece of black sand is wrapped in cold jade."
"You have the beauty of a girl in the air, but when you look back, your beauty and beauty are all mundane."
The approximate meaning of this half of the poem is: Look at her clear eyes, slender figure, and handsome appearance, especially in the green sermon scarf, which makes her look even more unique. She is like the goddess Gushe Fairy in mythology, and the pink, white and dark green women in the world. All different.
I have to say that Wang Siyan is indeed extremely beautiful.
At least in the seventeen years since Chen Yun came to this world, among the women he has seen, He Xiangu is the only one who is the best, and the other women are not as good as Wang Siyan.
His thoughts were whirling, Chen Yun put away his appreciation, pretended not to know anything and responded: "Senior Brother Wang, what's wrong with calling me?"
Wang Siyan's face was flushed and he said softly: "Can I go with you for a walk outside?"
Chen Yun wanted to refuse, but he just thought that whenever the clothes were too small and torn, the other party would spare no effort to repair them as soon as possible and send them over, so it was really hard to say no.
"Okay, let's go for a walk."
He and Wang Siyan walked out side by side.
Neither of them spoke a word along the way.
Until they came to the foot of the mountain near the big locust tree where Zhao Gongming and Guan Yunchang often played chess at night.
Wang Siyan suddenly stopped and said, "Senior Brother Chen, I heard that you will be leaving the Taoist Temple for a long time recently?"
Chen Yun looked over and blinked: "Senior Brother Ning told you?"
"No." Wang Siyan shook his head, "I met the Patriarch recently. He taught me the art of breath-taking and told me that you are going to Qingcheng Mountain to stay for a year and a half, so... I came to find you."
Um?
Chen Yun glanced at Wang Siyan in surprise. He really didn't expect that the person who revealed the news was his mentor.
He knew that his mentor never did anything without purpose.
In particular, he specifically taught Wang Siyan the Qi-eating method before informing him of his whereabouts. It was obvious that he had something to say.
Chen Yun still pretended not to know anything and said with a smile: "So, are you here to see me off?"
"Yes... and no." Wang Siyan looked a little confused, holding two white and tender catkins together and twiddling his fingers, "I... I..."
Chen Yunxin said it was bad. This woman was going to confess her love to him. How should he refuse then?
If you refuse directly, it seems a bit too hurtful to the other person's feelings.
But it is impossible for him to have too many interactions with the other party.
Chen Yun only wanted to ask Changsheng, how could he be like this with the other party?
Seeing that the other party was about to speak out, he quickly changed his tone and said, "Senior Brother Wang, in the past nearly a year, I am very grateful that every time my clothes are too small or torn, you can repair them as soon as possible and send them to me. You are the eldest son in the family. I have always envied others to have an elder sister. You are so kind and make me feel like you are an elder sister. If you are willing, we will marry Jinlan. From now on, I will call you elder sister. how?"
"Ah?" Wang Siyan was completely confused.
Originally, she learned that Chen Yun was going to Qingcheng Mountain to stay for a year, so she wanted to confess her love tonight.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yunlai blocked her words.
Chen Yun pretended to be very sad, "Does Senior Brother Wang think that Yun is not blessed enough to be your younger brother?"
Wang Siyan forced a smile and said, "No, I'm lucky that Senior Brother Chen wants to marry me."
Chen Yun hit the snake and followed the stick and said: "In that case, it is better to choose a day than to hit it. We will marry Jinlan here and become sisters and brothers with different surnames."
Having reached this point, Wang Siyan naturally could not say any more, so he had no choice but to say: "Goodness."
Later, in order to "kill the cradle" of the other person's feelings, Chen Yun immediately pulled the other person to become sworn friends.
…
The next day, early in the morning.
In the inner courtyard, Zhong Liquan looked at Chen Yun helplessly and shook his head, saying: "Chong Yong, my master has finally found a virtuous and virtuous woman to be your wife, why shouldn't you accept her?"
Chen Yun replied respectfully: "This disciple only wants to pursue immortality, and has no intention of loving his children."
"To cultivate Taoism, you must first cultivate yourself. There are some things you have not experienced before, which may become stumbling blocks in the future." Zhong Liquan said with a hint of meaning, "I am afraid it will be difficult for you to survive as a teacher."
To be honest, Chen Yun really didn't understand what this sentence meant.
However, he still said: "There are always no distracting thoughts in the disciple's heart. All he has is a simple and pure pursuit of the Tao."
"You don't have distracting thoughts now, and you may not have distracting thoughts in the future." Zhong Liquan said, changing the subject, "Since you don't care about a woman, my master will take you to find a good cave and concentrate on practicing for a year."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yun felt ripples in the air in front of him, and the scenery instantly became blurry.
When he regained his vision, he only saw that he was in a large mountain with verdant trees, evergreen trees all year round, and peaks that looked like the outline of a city. His mentor was beside him.
Chen Yun looked puzzled and said, "Teacher, where is this place?"
Zhong Liquan smiled and said: "This place is Qingcheng Mountain. I just used the Great Movement to bring you here."
He paused, and for the first time he blinked mischievously, "This is the Taoist Temple of Zhang Daoling, the founder of Tianshi Dao. I have managed to find a cave for you from Zhang Tianshi. Since we are here, it's okay." , go visit the Heavenly Master."
ah?
Is this Qingcheng Mountain?
You must know that Qingcheng Mountain in this world is three to four hundred thousand miles away from Zhongnan Mountain.
The mentor used the method of great teleportation and arrived in an instant?
This made Chen Yun feel very incredible and at the same time he was also thinking about this great teleportation method.
He was thinking about it.
I saw Zhongliquan raised his head and said vigorously towards the top of the mountain in a quiet voice: "Zhongliquan and his disciple Chen Chongyong came to Qingcheng Mountain to pay homage to Master Zhang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the clear air rose from the top of the mountain, and the auspicious clouds gathered together, as if a fairy door had opened!
