Everyone has habitual thinking.
The Chen family has a scholarly family background, and farming and studying has passed down the family line. For the Chen family, studying for imperial examinations, cultivating oneself and governing the country to bring peace to the world is the right path to success.
Although other approaches can achieve great success, the Chen family cannot bring much help.
The Chen family has certain influence in Confucianism.
If Chu Chen were to study for the imperial examination, the Chen family could bring him substantial help, either by helping him to learn or by visiting famous teachers. These were resources that ordinary people dreamed of.
After joining the Taoist sect, the Chen family's help to him would be minimal.
Father Chen and Mother Chen hope that their son will succeed, and their first thought is to arrange a path for their child that they are familiar with and that they believe has a future.
Chu Chen understood this.
The hearts of parents all over the world are like this.
Sometimes you are stubborn, domineering, and go your own way, but your starting point is still good.
As a mature and thoughtful person, Chu Chen understands his parents' paranoid concern, and then... goes his own way and goes his own way.
Life is your own, and your future is also your own.
Chu Chen listened to his family's well-intentioned suggestions and made up his mind to live up to his years and himself.
Returning to the Chen family, in the backyard of the big house, the Chen family reunited.
"Erlang, you really don't want to study for the imperial examination, then forget it. Your master is in charge of all ghosts and gods in the county, and he is also a capable person. If you practice Taoism with your master well, your future will be bright."
Chen Jia sighed first, but in the end he didn't force it.
Scholars pay most attention to face.
The Taoist priest saved his son's life and accepted him as his disciple, which was considered a great kindness. It was difficult for him to ask his son to abandon Taoism and become a Confucian scholar.
The most important thing is that after the eldest son became enlightened, he was no longer confused and became extremely independent. He was determined to practice Taoism, and there was nothing he could do about it.
"Thank you father for helping me!"
Chu Chen bowed respectfully.
Speaking of which, in addition to other factors, his younger brother Chen Pengju also made great contributions to convincing his parents and family so smoothly.
If the younger brother Chen Pengju cannot study well and has no heirs in the family, things will not be so easy.
"Erlang, you also practice Taoism. Now, two of our three siblings are practicing Taoism."
Sister Wan'er has a beautiful smile and picturesque features.
Chu Chen used to be confused and didn't know much about his sister's situation.
However, when they met yesterday, he did feel an extremely strong and powerful energy from Sister Wan'er, and her cultivation level was not low.
"Sister Wan'er, do you also practice Taoism? What kind of teaching do you follow?"
Chu Chen became interested.
"Sister, I learned from the Guigu lineage." Sister Wan'er was quite proud.
Chu Chen suddenly became interested.
Gui Guzi is the founder of military strategists. Military strategists all over the world respect him as a saint and have a high status.
In the Dachang Dynasty, Guiguzi was also highly respected. Most of the military generals were Guiguzi's disciples, practicing his methods and passing on his traditions.
Guiguzi is a military sage and a true Taoist immortal. His Taoist name is Xuanweizi, and the world respectfully calls him Xuanwei Zhenren.
After entering the Guiguzi Dharma lineage, it is not wrong to say that he has worshiped the Taoist sect.
Chu Chen was slightly surprised. Mr. Guigu was proficient in hundreds of schools of thought and had many branches of inheritance. He didn't know which one Sister Wan'er had joined.
"Sister Wan'er, you don't want to learn military magic, do you?"
Chu Chen recalled that day when his sister's body was full of chills and murderous energy, and she looked like a heroic female general.
"Second brother, my sister has learned martial arts and magical powers. Now she is in the eighth level of Taoist practice. She is very powerful. She can turn beans into soldiers, chop grass into horses, subdue dragons and tigers, slay demons and eliminate demons. She has practiced to high and deep levels, and can use plants, wood, gold and stone. Transform soldiers, move freely across thousands of miles, govern the country and secure it, ever-changing..."
The younger brother Chen Pengju became interested and proudly cited his sister's skills, which are treasures from his family.
Chu Chen was amazed when he heard that it was really a military inheritance, and Sister Wan'er's Taoist cultivation had reached the eighth level, which was very impressive.
On the other side, Chen Jiaxian, Chen’s father, shook his head and sighed:
"Girl, why don't you practice the way of tranquility and inaction? You just want to fight and kill, and you don't have the dignity and virtuousness of your daughter's family."
"Yes~ Father, my daughter knows that the masters also practice Taoism, and not all of them have magical powers as soldiers."
Sister Wan'er has a tough temper and doesn't want to be an ordinary lady who obeys her father's words. She has her own ideas. She smiled and didn't take her father's dissatisfaction to heart.
Status comes from strength.
Sister Wan'er has a high status in the Chen family's main house and even in the entire Chen family.
There is no other reason than strength.
At a young age, she has reached the eighth level of Taoist cultivation. She is only one step away from Chen's father, Chen Jiaxian, who has the seventh level of cultivation. No one in her generation can match her.
With real talent and learning, and outstanding talent, Sister Wan'er has a natural confidence in speaking, and her words are effective, which is comparable to that of a little girl from an extraordinary family.
Chen Jia shook his head first. His eldest daughter couldn't control it, and his second son also had his own ideas after he became enlightened. He felt tired.
...
After obtaining Chen's father's consent, Chu Chen officially joined the Lingshan Sect as his master the next day.
Chen's father, Chen Jia, first prepared six rituals for Chu Chen.
The so-called six rites include celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan, and lean meat strips.
None of the things are expensive, but they have a good meaning.
Celery means "diligence", lotus seeds mean "painstaking teaching" and so on.
The second master, Master Yunfeng, and the junior master, Master Yunxi, happened to arrive that day and participated in the apprenticeship ceremony.
A group of masters, uncles, disciples of the same generation from the Lingshan sect, and the Chen family were all present, making it quite lively.
Chu Chen first paid homage to the founder of the Three Qing Dynasties, Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou.
Then he kowtowed to his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping.
Then the master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, lectured, announced the sect rules, took the Taoist title, and encouraged the disciple Yunyun.
This apprenticeship ceremony was very grand, grand and formal.
Chu Chen didn't have many friends, so he only invited scholars to attend.
But what was surprising was that Di Yuan Longjun found out about his apprenticeship from somewhere and actually gave him a generous gift.
Chu Chen was even more happy when he saw the gift.
Biyouqingguo!
At first, Long Jun used "Biyou Qingguo" to recruit him and asked him for a favor.
He didn't agree.
Time passed, and as Chu Chen's strength improved, his talents were revealed, and his status improved, Lord Long didn't mention any favors and just gave them away for free.
This is also "human affection", but the two are fundamentally different.
One is normal human relations, and the other is exchange of interests.
The two are as different as clouds and mud.
In addition to the gift given by Long Jun, Qingying, the dragon girl, also gave a gift.
To be precise, it was sent by Dragon Girl Qingying and Kun Daolin Miaoyin together.
It was a calligraphy and painting, which depicts the image of a big roc crossing the sea of clouds, with only its shadow but not its true body. It is full of artistic conception. The painting has the four words "Peng Cheng Wanli" inscribed in it.
This masterpiece is a painting by Long Nu Qingying and an inscription by Lin Miaoyin.
It's not some spiritual painting, it's just an ordinary painting, with light etiquette and heavy affection.
In addition, there are messages left.
Lin Miaoyin has been out of seclusion for the past two days, but her elders did not let her go out and asked her to cultivate quietly. Longnu went to accompany Lin Miaoyin and had no time to come to congratulate Yunyun.
Later, the two girls said they didn't know what to give, saying that giving jade money and treasures was too tacky, so the two of them collaborated to show off their humiliation and gave a painting, hoping that Chu Chen would like Barabala.
Chu Chen likes paintings very much.
It's just...he prefers something more practical.
Well, he doesn't think it's tacky to give money.
