Although it is late autumn, due to the abundant spiritual energy, the Taoist temple is still lush inside and outside, and the fragrant smell of vegetation mixed with spiritual energy hits the face, making people feel relaxed and happy.
The time is noon.
The location is the shrine.
Cao Yi stood with his back to the statue, looking a little helpless.
Liu Jinyuan agreed to be a disciple, but he could ask for a ceremony. Even the simplest ones must be there.
No wonder Lu Xun said, scholars are really troublesome!
There was a sound of very slight footsteps, coming from far away, and then, a thin figure came to the door, straightened his clothes, crossed the threshold, and walked in with a solemn expression.
It was Liu Jinyuan.
Compared to the mess he was in when he came back from the Demon Locking Tower, he was very clean and his cyan robe was spotless.
The only thing wrong is that my hair is hanging down for some reason.
He stopped, lifted up his robe, knelt down, got up again, knelt down, got up again...
"Scholars are really troublesome"
Lu Xun's words came to Cao Yi's mind again.
After completing the ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, Liu Jinyuan patted the non-existent dust on his robe, walked to Cao Yi with a smile, and knelt down again.
Unlike before, this time his back was as straight as a javelin.
Cao Yi stretched out a white hand, put it on Liu Jinyuan's head, and said solemnly: "Remember, from now on, you are a member of Taoism."
"Disciple, please remember"
Liu Jinyuan said solemnly.
"very good"
Cao Yi nodded, took out an old Taoist robe from the Gate of Eternal Life space, and put it on Liu Jinyuan.
Ten breaths, twenty breaths... a full hundred breaths have passed.
Liu Jinyuan didn't move, as if waiting for something.
For this reason, Cao Yi didn't know what kind of attention this kid was paying. He tugged at the corner of his mouth, bent over and tied Liu Jinyuan's hair.
"The white jade capital in the sky, five cities on the twelfth floor. Immortals caress my head, knot my hair and receive immortality. Li Taibai's poem, I did it."
Liu Jinyuan smiled happily while reciting the poem.
Like a greedy child who discovers snacks in his parents' room.
"I'm afraid the disciple I took in is not very smart!"
An idea came into Cao Yi's mind.
"Thank you, Master. Could you please give me a Taoist name?"
Liu Jinyuan said with excitement.
master! What master?
Liu Zhuangyuan, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about the word "disciple"!
Cao Yi was speechless!
Just as he was about to correct himself, a pretty face appeared on the side of the door.
It was Lin Yueru who had been waiting outside.
Although this girl has no romantic feelings for Liu Jinyuan, she still cares about him.
"Cousin, are you okay?"
she asked in a lowered voice.
Her voice is pleasant to listen to, but after it can be lowered, it has the unique flavor of a Jiangnan woman.
Liu Jinyuan turned around and said in a low voice as well: "Don't interrupt, master is about to give me a Taoist name?"
"Ahem, Pindao just accepts you as a disciple, and has no intention of accepting you as a disciple."
Cao Yi corrected.
Even today, he doesn't think he can be someone else's master.
Liu Jinyuan's body suddenly froze, as if he had been tapped on an acupuncture point.
Cao Yi said nothing.
Liu Jinyuan said nothing.
Lin Yueru didn't speak either.
The scene was very embarrassing for a time.
"Just use your original name for the Taoist name. Let's call the Taoist name Dan Chenzi!"
Cao Yi broke the silence.
In order to relieve the awkward situation, Liu Jinyuan walked down the slope and said: "The Taoist name Dan Chenzi is very artistic, as the old saying goes..."
As expected of a scholar, he quoted a lot of classics.
Upon hearing this, Cao Yi, a party member who chose the Taoist name casually, felt that the Taoist name of Dan Chenzi was very remarkable.
"It's a very nice Taoist name. The Taoist priest must have been thinking about it for a long time."
Lin Yueru outside the door said with a smile.
Soon, less than a second.
Cao Yixin said.
…
In the afternoon, in the courtyard of the Taoist temple.
The sun sets in the west, leaving shadows that are getting longer and longer.
Cao Yi sat at the clean stone table, holding a yellowed classic in his hand and looking at it with a calm expression.
This classic is not the mundane classics of the past, but was written by people with extraordinary cultivation in the past dynasties of Shushan. The writing is very high-level.
After Cao Yi picked it up, he was never willing to put it down.
By the way, this tome was just sent by the Sword Master.
On the side, Liu Jinyuan was doing basic Qi training.
His serious look was very similar to the original Cao Yi.
Originally, when you first started to learn Taoism, you should first study Taoist classics, so as not to be unable to keep up with Taoist cultivation and cause problems.
Unexpectedly, this Jinke No. 1 scholar is a very miscellaneous reader and has already read many Taoist classics.
So I skipped the first level directly.
Lu Xun said it well, or maybe Zhou Shuren said it, a genius in reading does not mean a genius in cultivation!
Liu Jinyuan, who can be called the seed of reading, has poor qualifications that make people doubt his life.
It doesn’t even work if you teach me step by step.
Fortunately, Cao Yi himself also walked out step by step from an ordinary person.
Even though the time left in this world may be running out, he is very patient.
First, he didn't hit him, and secondly, he didn't scold him, and he didn't even say a harsh word.
"Ancestor, the disciples here don't understand..."
Liu Jinyuan stopped and asked questions for a while.
Liu Zhuangyuan's greatest advantage is that he just asks if he doesn't understand.
This reminded Cao Yi of himself when he was in school. If he hadn't blindly studied stupidly, he might have been able to get into a better university.
"Here, it's very simple..."
Cao Yi's patient explanation can be said to be that he answered everything he knew and spoke in detail.
In the distance, the eldest daughter of the Lin family was holding a branch in her hand, wandering around boredly, her eyes glancing this way from time to time, obviously trying to steal from her.
In a flash, ten days passed.
Liu Jinyuan still had no success in practicing Qi.
With such an aura-rich world and the guidance of an expert like Cao Yi, Liu Jinyuan was not good enough. It can be said that the qualifications are extremely poor!
"It seems that I can only feed pills like I did before."
Cao Yiru thought.
Suddenly, Cao Yi looked at Liu Jinyuan.
The latter looked at his Qihai Point with confusion. After a while, he closed his eyes, and after counting to five, he opened his eyes and said with joy: "I succeeded."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an explosion from the east side of the Taoist temple.
Liu Jinyuan looked over and saw his cousin Lin Yueru jumping onto the wall from outside.
Apparently, she was responsible for the explosion.
"Cousin, when did you succeed in practicing Qi?"
Busy with cultivation these days, Liu Jinyuan didn't pay much attention to his cousin.
"Practice Qi?"
Lin Yueru was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Cousin, you haven't succeeded in practicing Qi yet, right? I succeeded on the same day. It's too easy to practice Taoism and practice Qi."
My cousin stood nearby and listened casually, and learned it that same day.
But it took me a full ten days.
Liu Jinyuan suddenly wanted to die.
"It's okay, you are better at reading than she is."
Cao Yi comforted this new disciple to prevent him from losing his mind.
"I can't do anything except study, and I got the top score in the exam. I'm so useless."
Liu Jinyuan said frustrated.
What do you think of the students who have just taken the college entrance examination?
Cao Yi complained in his heart.
