In the hall, incense tables and candlesticks have been set up in front of the portrait of the ancestor...
Uncle Jiu took the three incense sticks from Wen Cai's hand, picked up the yellow paper, and pinched it with his fingers. The three incense sticks and the yellow paper were instantly ignited...
"Lin Jiu Shangbing, the 18th generation disciple of Maoshan, wants to bring forestry under my sect and strengthen the incense of Maoshan. I hope my master will give me permission!"
After saying that, he bowed three times to the portrait.
When Lin Ye saw the formality, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed three times solemnly. Then he took the three incense sticks handed over by Wen Cai, placed them in front of his forehead, and sincerely prayed to the ancestor...
"Master Patriarch, I have just come here, and I still have to count on Grandmaster to give you a meal! From now on, I will give you a stick of incense morning and night. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, and during the New Year and other festivals, there will be big fish, meat, wine, and food. I’ll give it to you, and you’ll have to protect me from now on~”
Uncle Jiu nodded happily, the boy is teachable!
I saw a divine light shining on the portrait of the founder, and the three sticks of incense burned out in the blink of an eye. Uncle Jiu's eyes lit up, it's done! It seems that the Patriarch is also very satisfied with the disciple I have accepted!
Lin Ye saw that the incense burned at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a pile of incense ash in just a few breaths. The whole person was stunned to the point of being stunned...
"Ah...are you hungry?"
The grandmaster in the portrait rolled his eyes, but nodded in order to take a few more puffs.
Uncle Jiu heard Lin Ye talking to himself, looked up inadvertently, and happened to see this scene.
"Is this... the Patriarch appearing?"
After coming back to his senses, Uncle Jiu hurriedly raised his sword finger with his left hand, and put the sword finger of his right hand against the wrist of his left hand. He then raised his hands above his head and bent down to salute.
"Disciple Lin Jiu has met the Patriarch."
Lin Ye and Qiu Shengwencai quickly imitated Uncle Nine and bowed to the portrait of their ancestor.
"Disciples Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai and Lin Ye have met the Patriarch."
Grandmaster rolled his eyes and almost rolled his eyes to the sky...
"I'm talking about Fengjiao, why are you always like this? You're just talking nonsense! I'll ask some nice little guy to give me some more sticks of incense. That'll be real!"
Uncle Jiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then turned back to stare at Lin Ye with a strange expression...
"Since the Patriarch likes it, Lin Ye, please offer some more incense to the Patriarch!"
Lin Ye: "...Yes..."
Be clever and offer the fragrance~
After the Patriarch in the portrait was full, he looked at Lin Ye and nodded in approval, and then a clear light penetrated Lin Ye's body.
"I think that even though you became a monk halfway, you are still a good candidate for cultivating Taoism! In the future, when you introduce Qi into your body, this spiritual light can save you a hundred days of work to build the foundation. You can also step into the Taoism as soon as possible, so that you can be the lintel of my Maoshan Guangmen Gate! "
Uncle Jiu was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly said to Lin Ye, "Why don't you thank the ancestor quickly?"
Although Lin Ye was a little confused, he could tell that his ancestor might have given him something great, so he quickly thanked him and said, "I have thanked my ancestor. I must remember my ancestor's teachings! I will never forget to repay you if you succeed in practicing Taoism in the future." Patriarch!"
"Hahaha, you little kid, there is no need to repay you. Just remember what you said! No need for big fish, big meat, good wine and good food. Don't forget to have some incense in the morning and evening. From now on, you will be the ancestor of me." Alright! Alright, old man, I’m leaving~"
"Farewell to the Patriarch..."×3
The forestry industry feels extremely safe right now! The Patriarch has already said that from now on I will be the cub protected by the Patriarch!
Uncle Jiu looked at the silly Lin Ye and shook his head, "Okay, okay, although the founder has laid the foundation for you to practice Taoism, you can't slack off! Look at the literary talent, you have been practicing for several years..."
At this point, Uncle Jiu no longer wanted to preach, and sighed softly: "Oh! Let's serve tea!"
Qiu Sheng handed the tea that had been prepared to Lin Ye, and then Lin Ye respectfully handed the tea to Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Jiu took the tea, took a sip, and then solemnly said: "Okay, starting today, you will officially join my sect and become the nineteenth generation disciple of Maoshan! We, Maoshan, have a total of 18 sect rules, among which The most important thing is to take justice for heaven as your duty, I hope you can remember it!"
Lin Ye looked solemn and said word by word: "Master, don't worry, I, Lin Ye, swear an oath in front of the portrait of our ancestor! The confrontation between good and evil will last a lifetime!"
Uncle Jiu had tears in his eyes and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, okay! What a struggle between good and evil for life!"
Then he took out three yellowed secret books from his arms...
"Lin Ye, it stands to reason that if you join my sect, my teacher should personally guide you in your practice. But since you escaped death today, after all, you are contaminated with some Yin Qi and are not suitable for practice for the time being."
"Secondly, tomorrow your Uncle Four Eyes will bring his customers to rest. I will clean up the room for you and your Uncle Four Eyes. You can rest in the Master's room tonight."
"Master, I will first pass on these three secret books of Maoshan to you. Take a look at them in your spare time to get familiar with them. I will guide you in your practice after your Uncle Four Eyes leaves!"
After Uncle Jiu finished speaking, he handed three yellowed books to Lin Ye.
"Thank you, Master!" Lin Ye quickly took it and took a closer look. It was the "Shangqing Dadong Sutra", "Five Thunder Zhengfa", and "Maoshan Talisman"!
Looking at these three secret books, Lin Ye could not help but picture himself punching ghosts, kicking zombies, and reaching the peak of his life!
"Ahem, junior brother~junior brother! Master is asking, don't be distracted at this time!"
"Ah? Ah! Master, what did you say? I was a little excited just now and didn't pay attention..."
Uncle Jiu shook his head and said: "The most taboo thing about Taoism is being restless, you! Seeing as you have just started, you can't calm down, so I won't punish you because of extenuating circumstances!"
"Forestry, you have to practice hard in the future and ask if you don't understand something. Don't be like Qiu Sheng Wencai, who spends three days fishing and two days drying nets! As a teacher, I hope you will bring glory to my Maoshan family in the future!"
"Disciple will definitely live up to Master's high expectations!"
Seeing Lin Ye's vow, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but feel relieved. It was a peace of mind. It wasn't easy~
"It's getting late, Qiu Sheng, please go home quickly, otherwise your aunt will tell you that I won't let you go home! Wencai, take Aye to my room to rest first. Then come back and clean up with the teacher. Look at you." You two, I’ve only been out for a few days? What have you done to the entire Yizhuang!"
Qiu Sheng scratched his head and said: "Master, then I will go back."
Seeing Uncle Jiu wave his hand, Qiu Sheng felt like he was being pardoned, grabbed a handful of incense sticks, pushed his bicycle and left.
Wencai said with a bitter look on his face: "Master, I will take my junior brother down first."
"Go ahead and remember to boil more water. I'll wipe all the coffin boards later. Those who don't know may think that Yizhuang was fished out of the sand!"
"oh……"
After the two left, Uncle Jiu fell into deep thought. So it turns out that the founder can benefit from flattering him? Could it be that a crying child gets milk? It seems it’s time for me to study this way...
