Zheng Hai scratched his head when he saw this and said sheepishly: "Hey, don't be afraid, girl, I'm just teasing you! I'm Hai from Dahai. I also have a sister who is as old as you. What's your name? You can directly Call me Brother Dahai!"
Hearing this, the girl looked up and looked at a few people. When they saw this, everyone either smiled naively or smiled, but these smiles seemed to dispel the girl's worries, and she timidly replied: "My name is Panyue!"
After saying this, the girl stood there timidly, not daring to look at the crowd.
Zheng Hai heard the girl talking and said carelessly: "Then we will call you Sister Panyue from now on, and you will call me Brother Dahai from now on. Don't worry, as long as I, Zheng Hai, and our brothers are here, no one will dare to bully you!"
The other children, including Ning Tao, all responded together when they heard what Zheng Hai said.
Panyue nodded timidly when she heard the words, but her eyes that were afraid to dodge were a little brighter.
Several people reported their names again. After Panyue heard it, she carefully remembered their appearance. People tend to be innocent when they are young. There is a saying: "At the beginning of a person's nature, his nature is good." At this time, people did not have as many calculations and thoughts as in the adult world.
(When it comes to the theory of intrinsic goodness and intrinsic evil, the author himself still views this matter dialectically. If you have time, you can take a look at the theory of intrinsic goodness and intrinsic evil.)
"Dang...dang...dang..." A loud bell rang, and then the children heard a voice: "All Taoist boys gather in the square."
Hearing the sound, everyone walked towards the square in a hurry. After a while, everyone arrived at the square.
I saw the gloomy Taoist just now standing in front of the main hall of the square, surrounded by more than twenty Taoists of various colors.
When he saw that no more boys were coming, he slowly said: "My name is Qi Ying. I have been entrusted by Senior Brother Li to temporarily act as the dean of the Taoist Academy. You can call me the dean or your uncle. No matter how prominent your family was in the past, or how poor you were. From today on, you will draw a line with the past. You are all a Taoist boy of our Yaowang Sect. Your next task is to practice hard and strive to become a sect member as soon as possible. I won’t say much more about the rest. Your teaching brother will tell you later. I hope that in five years, you will all become the official disciples of the sect.”
After saying that, he stopped talking and motioned to the monk behind him to come forward.
Immediately after him, a young and serious Taoist holding a book came out from behind him and said loudly: "The roll call will begin below. The Taoist boy whose name is called will come back!"
"Yang Song!"
"arrive!"
"Looking forward to the moon"
...
After a roll call of about thirty people, the young Taoist said again: "Those whose names are called will come out!"
Then the children whose names were called slowly walked out of the team with anxiety, and then an elegant monk walked out from behind the gloomy Taoist, stood on the open space to the left of the gloomy Taoist, and said: "The person whose name was called stood behind me. "
Wait until everyone has finished standing.
The serious Taoist continued to roll call.
"xx"
"arrive"
"xx"
...
Ning Tao, who was the first group to walk out of the team, stood behind the children and carefully discovered that during the roll call, all the friends he had just met were among them. This situation could not help but confirm some of the suspicions in his heart. .
As for the remaining people, they saw familiar children involuntarily moving closer together, as if this would make them safer in an unfamiliar environment.
...
Moreover, Ning Tao also noticed that all the boys seemed to follow some pattern and were divided into ten teams.
When everyone divided into teams and stood behind these Taoists, Ning Tao didn't need to think too much.
Qi Ying, the dean of the Taotong Academy, said: "You are now divided into ten classes: A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Kui. The senior brother you are following is your teaching senior brother and is responsible for Your daily practice. After a while, your senior brother will lead you to familiarize yourself with the system of the Taoist Academy and what you will do next. After one year, I will personally test your homework. I hope you will do well."
After saying this, he turned around and walked into the palace with his hands behind his back.
After the gloomy Taoist turned around and left, the serious senior brother just stepped forward and continued to speak: "My name is Ren Shan, and I am your chief instructor. The senior fellow you are following now is the instructor who is responsible for your daily homework and practice. Behind me These junior brothers are respectively responsible for your medicine, food, sundries, assessment and other related matters. If you feel unwell, you can go to your teaching senior brother or this junior brother. The reward and punishment system and specific regulations of Daotong Academy, Your teaching senior brother will tell you, and I will tell you this."
After that, he turned to the Taoists behind him and said, "Junior brothers, please introduce these boys, starting with Junior Brother Yang."
Hearing the words of the serious senior brother, the Taoist known as Junior Brother Yang took a step forward and said: "I am your Senior Brother Yang. I am responsible for your bedding, clothes, and some necessary daily necessities in your room. If there is anything that needs to be replaced, If it's damaged, go to the utility room to replace it..."
After the senior brother surnamed Yang finished his introduction, other Taoist priests made introductions, and after everyone had finished their introductions. The serious Taoist said: "That's it for today. If you have any questions, please ask your teaching brother. Now follow your teaching brother to your respective classrooms."
After that, the Taoists standing in front of each team greeted the boys behind them to leave...
The group of children who followed the teaching brother in front turned away and came to the houses built around the square a hundred steps away.
Entering the room, Ning Tao and others' teaching brother said, "Let's each find a seat and sit down!" After that, he walked to the desk in the middle and sat cross-legged behind the desk.
When all the Taoist boys were seated, the teaching brother said: "My name is Yang Feng. I entered the sect a few years ago and was entrusted by the sect to take charge of your lessons and cultivation. From today on, you will become the Taoist boys of the Yellow Class A. Some of you may have guessed that the number marked on the identity wooden tag in your hand is your ranking. In the entire Taoist Academy, you belong to this group of Taoists. You are the ones with the most outstanding qualifications among the children, but your current ranking does not mean anything. If you want to become a formal disciple, you must pass the three-level Taoist examinations of heaven, earth and xuan. When you reach the heaven level, you can go Try the Heart Refining Path, pass the trial, and become a formal disciple. After five years, those who have not become a formal disciple will be sent to the Jiao Yong Court to become a Jiao Yong. I hope that none of you will become a Jiao Yong."
After saying this, the teaching fellow named Yang Feng paused for a moment, and after the children had absorbed the information, he continued.
"There will be a regular assessment at the Taoist Academy every six months. If you can read three hundred Taoist texts and write them down, and be able to accurately tell the Rendu Meridian and the location of the acupuncture points it passes through, and introduce Qi into the body, you can go to the assessment. Senior Brother There, apply for the Xuanjie Taoist examination, and if you pass the examination, you can become a Xuanjie Taoist."
"After you become a Xuan-level Taoist boy, you can officially practice. When your cultivation reaches the first level of Qi training and you know a thousand Taoist texts, you can apply for the Earth-level Taoist examination again. When you reach the third level of Qi training and know all the Taoist texts, With all the meridians and three hundred elixirs, you can apply for the heaven-level Taoist examination. Finally, if you reach the fourth level of Qi training, know eight hundred elixirs, and master three techniques, you can apply to become a formal disciple."
The Taoist boys below were confused when they heard this, but they still looked forward to the day when they would become official disciples.
"Those who are unable to become a Taoist boy of the Xuan level within two years will be directly sent to the miscellaneous service courtyard. The same goes for those who are unable to become a Taoist boy of the Earth level within three years."
At this time, the child named Yang Song interrupted and asked: "What if you complete the Huangjie Taoist study in advance?"
Hearing this, Yang Feng smiled and said, "You can apply to me for the assessment in advance. If you fail, you will have to accept the punishment."
Then he thought for a moment and added: "After reaching Xuanjie, if you can complete the training required for Xuanjie Taoist boys in advance, you can also apply to me for early assessment. After you pass the assessment, I will recommend you to the chief teacher, senior brother. , the chief instructor will lead you to practice. After completing all the practice goals, you can apply for the entry disciple assessment in advance, pass the path of mind training, and officially become a sect disciple."
After Yang Song heard his teacher's explanation, he nodded thoughtfully.
Then Senior Brother Yang continued: "When you become a formal disciple, you have the opportunity to go down the mountain. If you don't become an official disciple for one day, you cannot go down the mountain. Of course, there is another way to go down the mountain, that is, you will not be able to become a formal disciple after five years. If you still don’t want to join the Miscellaneous Service Hall, you can also apply to go down the mountain. If you are unable to become a formal disciple, applying to go down the mountain will be regarded as automatically giving up your identity as a disciple of Yaowang Sect. From then on, you will have no relationship with the sect. If you are found outside and use the name Yaowang Sect, As a disciple of the sect, if you think you are a self-proclaimed disciple, you can kill them on the spot, or kill the whole family."
...
After dinner, the children returned to their respective residences.
Ning Tao, who practiced the exercises taught by his father for a while in the house, lay on the bed after washing and recalled what happened during the day.
After the lecture in the square, Senior Brother Yang Feng, the instructor of his Yellow Class A class, talked a lot to everyone.
After talking about how to become an advanced Taoist boy, he then told the children some rules that need to be followed and their next homework arrangements.
Tell the children that they will be taught homework every morning and have free time in the afternoon. Any chores will be handled by handymen dispatched by the courtyard.
Then he took the children to get familiar with the entire Taoist courtyard, and took the children to learn about the medicine room, classics room, canteen, utility room, etc., and introduced the uses of these places and the senior brothers in charge here in detail, explaining There are some other things to note.
