My Taoist Career

Seeing me stunned, old man Jiang was not in a hurry to 'clean up' me. Instead, the old god sat down, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "You were haunted by ghosts when you were young. It's a trivial matter for you, but I don't bother you, cook fragrant soup, start battles, use the three major hand formulas, draw soul-suppressing charms, save hundreds of ghosts for you, and give you a merit. Is it so troublesome to use it? Which one of the above is not a test of skill? Especially the three major moves in succession, the skills are shallow, hehe..."

At this time, I was a little confused, but I vaguely felt that old man Jiang seemed to have done a lot for me as an apprentice, but my parents figured out what old man Jiang meant, that is, the old man who was haunted by ghosts back then. There is an easier way to deal with it, but for my good deeds, he chose an extremely difficult way to deal with it.

Just like the evil spirit haunting my second sister now, he can easily deal with it, but he doesn't want to add karma to me, and wants to do more merit for me.

This thought is indeed touching.

In addition, my dad is also like an idiot at certain times. He will subconsciously plan for me. He knows that this time the matter of accepting apprentices cannot be avoided, but it is a very happy thing to think about it carefully. Son.

First, old man Jiang has this kind of thought for me, so it is not just preaching and teaching, but also the feeling of being a master and a father. Under the hands of such a master, I am very well taken care of .

What my father didn't know was that Taoist metaphysics paid great attention to inheritance, and should not be passed on easily, but once passed on to a direct disciple, that disciple would be a son-in-law, or a son at all. Old man Jiang was lonely all his life, and he bumped into himself 'Son', can you treat me badly?

Second, my dad vaguely guessed that Old Man Jiang's identity was unusual. He remembered the "high-ranking uniform" that Old Man Jiang was wearing seven years ago when he was about to leave, and more importantly, he remembered the special line phone call to Beijing. , and the uncommon voice from the other end of the phone.It is better for a son to follow him than to have a future in a village!As long as the son has a future, he will not be greedy for the relationship between his parents. After all, a good man has his ambitions everywhere. How can the family become the shackles of the son?

Poor parents in the world.

As for the third, my dad never looked down on Taoist priests and warlocks. Although he was illiterate, he had heard a lot of country legends and serious jokes, just like the Three Kingdoms.He knew that there were usually some very important people around the ancient emperors. These people might be able to watch the stars, or Feng Shui, or various secret arts, and even the emperor had to respect them.Especially the founding emperors often have such a person by their side, isn't that Zhuge Liang?He just felt that an 'expert' like old man Jiang must have been valued. The reason is simple. You said that the ancient emperors paid so much attention to it. It doesn't make sense that today's leaders still don't recognize the things passed down by their ancestors?

My father, who was like a human being at the critical moment, figured out these three points, and before I could speak, he yelled loudly: "Sanbaer, why did Dad educate you? If you don't pay back your favor, you beast Why not. Master Jiang in front of you is your savior, not to mention accepting you as an apprentice, but calling you to be a son in the past, and let you die in retirement. Shout out to Master?!"

Indeed, this is how I have been educated since I was a child. I despise ungrateful people very much. In my eyes, such people are not as good as pigs and dogs. The old man Jiang with the old god in front of me has saved my life. If I don’t pay back, I will It's really a ****.

Forget it, my dream of the Red Army, goodbye, the fighting hero in my heart, **, I am sorry for you, old man, for not being able to become a glorious soldier of the People's Liberation Army under your command.

I have mixed feelings in my heart at the moment, but a man must have his own principles, right?After silently mourning my dream, I walked over and shouted: "Master." I was about to kneel down to old man Jiang.

"Hey, slow down..." I didn't want the old man Jiang to support me, and said: "This ritual of kneeling and worshiping cannot be so casual. There is an authentic ritual of worshiping a teacher when you join our lineage. You have to be particular about it. However, I accept the call of master, and you are my half-disciple before completing the apprentice ceremony, that’s all.”

Oh, you think I want to kneel, but seeing that he won't let me kneel, I'm still happy and relaxed, no matter if he's half or most of his apprentice, anyway, I should eat, sleep, go to school, this old man can still What are you doing to me?

This is where I am naive. How can Taoism make me so comfortable by accepting apprentices and teaching them? I also underestimated the importance of the master in my life.

"Apprentice, refill me some tea, and give me a shoulder by the way." Old man Jiang looked at me and ordered to leave. I couldn't think of it, but when I turned around, I saw my father's 'fierce' gaze, and I thought about it again. , I am now someone else's apprentice, what else can I do?

As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Although it is a cheap master, I still understand the principle of being filial to the master as an apprentice. I have heard too many jokes about Journey to the West, and I know that Monkey King, who is capable, still has to listen It belongs to Tang Seng who has no skills.

Obediently went to pour tea for old man Jiang, handed it to him, and then hammered his shoulders behind him very unconvinced, with anger in my heart, my hammering was really heavy.

But the heavier I am, the more this old man Jiang enjoys it, and he said: "Well, I have less strength, so I can make it heavier!"

Damn, why do you think this old man is so 'cheap'? Do you think I didn't beat him hard enough?I held my breath and tried to hammer Old Man Jiang's body desperately, but he seemed to be made of iron and didn't care at all.

I was exhausted and out of breath here, but old man Jiang talked over there: "I actually went back to the village yesterday, and I saw about the second sister in that cemetery last night."

"You were here yesterday?" My dad was very surprised. He said why the old man Jiang could see the matter of the second sister so clearly at a glance.

"Yeah, I'm not really a god. It's impossible to deduce the cause and effect of the matter immediately. I wanted to make a move last night, but there are ordinary villagers around here, so it's hard to guarantee that there are too many people. It’s better for ordinary people not to know about it. In addition, this incident was caused by Sanwaer. I didn’t want to cause him a murder, so I resisted the idea of ​​making a move last night, thinking, I’m here to discuss with you today, see Let's see what you think."

The old man Jiang slowly talked about the ins and outs. At this time, my mother finally couldn't bear it anymore. Regardless of my father's winking and even pulling her, she rushed to the old man Jiang and asked: "Master Jiang, You accepted Sanwaer as an apprentice, but you want to take him away?"

My dad sighed, sat next to him and stopped talking, and he couldn't blame him for not stopping my mom. In fact, what my mom asked was exactly what he was suffering in his heart.

Old man Jiang was taken aback, and before he could answer, my eldest sister who had been silent all this time jumped out; "Master Jiang, otherwise I will be your apprentice, so don't take my younger brother away. If there is no boy in the family, my father Mom will have a hard time living in the village when she gets old."

My eldest sister is quite sensible, but it is difficult for her to think of this level, and it is even more difficult for her to be a "Taoist nun" for me. My eldest sister is proud and excellent in studies. She has many ideals, but none of them will Is when the 'Taoist nun'.

As for me, I can't take care of 'beating' old man Jiang at this time. I stood up and wanted to say something, but I couldn't say it.

First, although I am not the same as old man Jiang, I am convinced that he is capable.

Second, I don't have much memory of the old man Jiang's life-saving grace, so I don't have any feelings, but I have already affirmed it in my heart. To repay the favor, I must treat this old man well.But I have been like this since I was a child, I can't express my feelings, and I prefer to cover up the past with laughter and cursing.

Thirdly, that tiger claw really saved my life. I can't forget the mighty roar of the tiger until now. I know that tiger claw is not a simple thing. Me, and gave it to me when I was very young, which shows that he is really good to me.As the saying goes, isn't one short-handed?

I absolutely don't want to leave my parents, but if I regret it, I can't say it based on the little thoughts above.Therefore, it also caused the scene where I stood in front of old man Jiang in a daze, speechless.

"Alas..." Old man Jiang sighed, got up and patted my elder sister's head, then mine, and then said: "Eldest sister, I know you are sensible, but the fate of master and apprentice It’s not like anyone can replace it.”

Then, the old man Jiang turned and looked at my mother: "I won't take my third baby away now, I will take my third baby and live on the mountain of this village, and I can accompany you on weekdays. It's only 15 After the age of three, Sanwa'er will leave with me. It's not that I'm cold-hearted and forced you to separate from your mother and child, but that some things are preordained, and it's only harmful to others to stay by my side. Sanwa'er has no parents. Yuan, it’s just that you can’t always serve your parents, not that you won’t see them for a lifetime, and it’s not that you can’t take care of your old age and accompany you occasionally. Don’t think too pessimistically about things.”

Old man Jiang doesn't lie, my parents know this well, just like he said before he left that I had a disaster, and that he would report it to his family is the last example, isn't it?

In addition, my parents also firmly believe that old man Jiang is not the kind of person who scares people just to take in an apprentice. If he wants to make alarmism, he can do it seven years ago. Besides, what specific benefits does it have for him to take in an apprentice?
