Chapter Thirteen: Named Xudongxian

When Huang Donglai returned to his room, Miaoyinzi was already sitting in the room.

"Eh? Master, why are you here?" Huang Donglai opened the door and saw the other party. He didn't make any big salute, he just asked casually.

Miaoyinzi didn’t mind this either. As he once said, their Xuanqi Sect didn’t pay much attention to red tape: “I have something to do with you.”

“ Oh." Huang Donglai nodded and closed the door, "Would you like me to boil some water and make a pot of tea?"

"No," Miao Yinzi pointed to the table. The teapot on the table said, "I've just made it myself, just pour it for me."

Huang Donglai was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Ah? The tea has been made? Are you here? How long has it been?"

Miaoyinzi curled her lips: "When I stepped into the front yard, I happened to see you coming out of the house, but you didn't see me." He paused. After a pause, "I was about to call you, but I saw you hurried towards the direction of the latrine...so I gave up."

That's all he said, and he didn't go on.

Anyway, Huang Donglai already understood what he meant - I'll be here as long as you squat in the toilet.

"Haha, that's it." Huang Donglai smiled, poured a cup of tea for the master and offered it to him. He also poured a cup for himself, sat down next to the master, and quickly changed the topic, "Then I wonder why Master came to see me?”

“Two things.” Mianyinzi said, taking out a book from his arms and placing it on the table. First, the foundation of your 'Wuqi Gong' has been laid almost, and you can start to learn some new things, so I will pick up a secret book and teach it to you today."

When Huang Donglai heard this, he felt that this was not human speech. He immediately said doubtfully: "Master, what if this 'randomly' picked secret is some kind of extremely advanced technique that I can't practice with my cultivation level?" ?"

Unexpectedly, Miaoyinzi immediately looked at Huang Donglai with a look that looked like he was mentally retarded, and asked: "When I picked it out and held it in my hand, I took a look at the title. Isn't it too much?"

Huang Donglai shook his head: "It's not too much."

Miaoyinzi said again: "Then when I saw the title of the book, I knew it was yours. Can you practice?"

Huang Donglai nodded: "Yes."

Miaoyinzi said again: "Then if I find that you can't practice the secret book in my hand, I will Wouldn't it be over if you just put it back and try another one?"

Only at this moment did Huang Donglai become embarrassed: "Uh..."

Miao Yinzi said this Shi Ye shook his head and drank tea: "Let me say it first. If you go down the mountain in the future, don't tell people that you are my apprentice."

Huang Donglai also took a sip of tea, and the corner of his mouth After twitching twice, he replied: "Okay..."

After a short silence, as if to relieve the stiff atmosphere, Huang Donglai reached out and picked up the secret book on the table.Ji, I saw three big characters written on the cover - Twelve Truths.

"Huh? Master, judging from the name of this book...it looks like a sermon book, not a secret book." Huang Donglai is also somewhat literate and knows the general meaning of the word "True". Hence this question.

"Hi~ Taoism and Taoism, there are techniques within the Tao, and there are ways within the techniques... They are interoperable, just like the relationship between internal strength and moves in martial arts." Miaoyinzi said, "Anyway, you learn Just get up. The deeper the 'Tao' you understand from it, the more 'skills' you will know. The secret of it can only be understood, not explained..."

What he said is as if he didn't say it.

However, Huang Donglai didn't delve into it because he also knew that there was no way to talk about such a moral and unethical topic. Anyway, he could just learn something.

"Okay, then Donglai thanked Master." Huang Donglai answered.

"What's there to thank you for? I should teach you something." Mianyinzi said, "Also, if there is anything you don't understand in the process of learning the 'Twelve Noble Truths' Don't ask me, because I haven't read this book yet."

"Huh?" Huang Donglai was shocked, "Master, can't you teach me something that you can do yourself? "

"What do you mean by 'knowing'?" Miaoyinzi replied with a look of disgust, "I haven't read this book, which means I don't know anything about it. No? Even if I don’t know how to do these things, won’t I be able to do what I can do after learning these things?” He paused and took another sip of tea. Do you understand? The countless Taoist scriptures in this world are like countless roads to climb mountains. No matter which one you take, you can reach the top of the mountain. The only difference is which road is more suitable for you. Today, the Twelve Truths are here. In front of you, it shows that you are destined to this path. If I give you another one that I have learned, it might delay you."

"Okay, okay, what you said is right...I am. Just learn this. "Huang Donglai is a disciple after all. In the field of monasticism, he can't say anything about Miaoyinzi, which he has practiced for more than a hundred years. He can't refute it no matter how much people brag about it, so he can only change the topic again. "By the way, Master, you said you have two things to do with me. What is the second thing?"

At this moment, Miaoyinzi put down the tea cup in his hand: "Well..." He adjusted After a while, his tone and expression became a little more serious, "Donglai, you have been up the mountain for a while, and you have practiced the basic skills well. According to the rules of this sect, you should be given a formal disciple. You have a Taoist name; after you have a Taoist name, you will be officially naturalized in our Xuanqi Sect. From now on, you will also be included in the genealogy of all the disciples."

A digression here. In Xuanqi Sect, Taoist titles are usually given to disciples after they have mastered the first level of "Wuqi Gong", because before that, strictly speaking, the person has not yet entered the threshold of Taoism - -Only when you master the most basic Qi training method in a sect, can you be regarded as a "monk" and have a "Tao title".

This, other repairsThe same goes for the Dao Sect, except that other sects also have their own basic exercises, and the difficulty of those exercises is not necessarily the same as "Wu Qi Gong".

Back then, Bai Ruhong didn’t have a “Tao name”, and “Yin Dao” was just his martial name; even though he later spent decades practicing Wuqi Gong to a higher level, because of his It's just that "named disciples" will not be included in the sect's genealogy list, nor will they be given a Taoist title.

"Oh?" At this moment, Huang Donglai was very happy to hear that he could also have a title. He thought to himself that this was equivalent to "excellent performance during the probation period and became a full-time employee." "That's good, Master. What name are you going to give me?"

Unexpectedly, the next second, Mianyinzi asked in turn: "Do you have any ideas?"

" "Me?" Huang Donglai was stunned for a moment, "Can I also give my opinion on this matter?"

"Alas..." Mianyinzi sighed at this time, "Actually, we are not interested in this matter." There are no restrictions on how to choose a Taoist name. It all depends on the thought of the master at that moment. If you are lucky, you will meet a person who is particular about your name and will give you a serious name. If you are unlucky...just like My senior brother and I met a very casual master..."

"Huh?" Huang Donglai didn't understand, "Master, what's wrong with this title?" Is it okay?"

"Oh, you don't understand..." Miaoyinzi replied earnestly, "I don't want to tell you, so don't ask in the future."

After a breath, Miaoyinzi picked up the topic again: "In short, I don't want to follow in my master's footsteps and make you complain about me in the future, so I want to ask you first My own thoughts."

"Oh..." Huang Donglai seemed to understand, he said, "Then you say 'Tongtianzi', 'Wujizi', 'Baiyunzi' and so on, I will Is it appropriate?"

"It's vulgar." Miao Yinzi's comment was concise and concise, "And I have the impression that there are already colleagues in Mount Emei and Qingcheng Mountain using these names."

"You don't have to call me 'Zi', who can tell you my name?" What does it have to be?" Miao Yinzi said.

"Really?" Huang Donglai really didn't know this part of the knowledge, "What else can you call me?"

"You can call me Taoist, Sanren, or Sir." Miao Yinzi replied, "You can call me a half-immortal if you like."

"Is that so..." Huang Donglai immediately asked, "Then why...there seems to be so many things on our mountain called "Half Immortal". "The person who named you is lazy~" Miaoyinzi said, "If I were a little lazy today and just gave you the name 'Donglaizi', then I would still Do you want to continue arguing with you here?"

"Yes...Master, you will hurt me." Huang Donglai hurriedly asked.Use flattery to coax the other person, for fear that the other person will lose patience, and suddenly say "Just leave it like that" and then turn around and leave.

After that, Huang Donglai thought about it again, and then said with a half-joking attitude: "Ah...Master, what do you think of the title 'Xudong Old Immortal'?"

"Demon?" Miaoyinzi reacted very quickly and blurted out, "Devil?" He didn't know whether this was a question or a statement, "This name is okay, it sounds like the kind of person who is ready to stand on his own. It's a way of cheating."

"No, no, Donglai doesn't dare..." Huang Donglai quickly denied.

However, just when he was about to say the second half of the sentence "I was just joking"...

"What is there to be afraid of?" Miao Yinzi said. Already asked, "What's wrong with setting up your own school? Xuanqi Sect has never stopped its disciples from setting up their own school, nor has it restricted their disciples from going down the mountain to practice in the world. The senior brothers and uncles you have met since you came up the mountain, including me, Master... there is one Even if you think about it, everyone just wants to stay on the mountain and not leave. "Huh?" Huang Donglai said, "Is this okay?"

After he said this, he said, After thinking about it again, I realized that this seems to be nonsense.

As far as he knows about the Taoist priests of Xuanqi Sect so far, they find it troublesome to even hold some positions in their own sect. How can they do something more troublesome like "establishing their own sect"? Blended? As for joining the world and practicing cultivation... It's so comfortable to live on this mountain. In addition, these lazy guys always "don't fight" in everything, so it's even more impossible to go.

"Nothing is wrong. You want to be called 'Xudong Old Immortal', right? Okay! That's settled." Miaoyinzi continued, "From now on, your Taoist name will be Xudong." Lao Xian, you call me Master, and I call you Lao Xian, let’s get it done.”

After that, he actually stood up and was about to leave.

"Hey! Master, I just said that casually." Huang Donglai was anxious now, "Don't leave, let's discuss it again."

"No need." Miaoyinzi waved her hand, "The name is a bit interesting. I like it very much. I will just tell my senior brother and ask him to naturalize you, and that's it."

How could Huang Donglai stop Mianyinzi? He chased her to the door in a few steps, but the latter had disappeared.

Huang Donglai was left alone in front of the door, staring blankly at the empty yard.

After standing there for a moment, Huang Donglai suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself several times, while saying: "Old immortal, old immortal, old immortal... I am really a bitch!"

Of course, he didn’t use any real force, just a few symbolic pats.

When he thought that from now on, everyone on this mountain would greet him as "Old Immortal", he felt a pain in his balls, but now that the matter was at this point, he also knew that there was nothing he could do, because he would go there again now. Going to Miaoyinzi to forcefully ask for another name change would be "forced" and not "natural", "it doesn't taste right".

Therefore, he could only accept the Taoist slogan that he came up with as a joke, close the door and go back to the house, and slowly comprehend the "Twelve Truths".
