Chapter 3 Beginning to teach the Dharma without teaching the teacher
The next day, heavy snow stopped suddenly and the sun shone on the snow.
There is a saying that it does not make the snow cold, and the winter sun shines on your body, which is not as good as the cold weather.
Yu Shen was already wearing a thick cotton coat, shrank his body, and followed Yun'er on the stone path.
The Taoist temple is full of pines and cypresses, and it is also green in such a cold winter.
After turning to the hall, Yu Shen followed Yun'er to Songhexuan, and there were two boys in green dressed like Yun'er at the door.
Seeing Yu Shen and the others coming, the boy went in to report it. After a moment, he asked Yu Shen to enter Songhexuan.
When he entered Songhexuan, Yu Shen saw an old Taoist.
The old Taoist wore a jade-leaf star crown and a golden cloak. He had long beard and wide cheeks, blue eyes and square pupils, and looked like a master. He should be Luo Zhenren.
Luo Zhenren sat on the cloud bed, staring directly at Yu Shen, Gongsun Sheng next to him served him and winked at Yu Shen.
Yu Shen understood it and bowed deeply to Zhenren Luo. He saw Zhenren Luo stroking his sleeves. Yu Shen couldn't even bend his body when he bowed.
Yu Shen hurriedly bowed:
"Yu Shen has seen a real person."
Luo Zhenren looked at Yu Shen with blue eyes, his eyes like an X-ray, almost looking through Yu Shen from inside to outside.
When Yu Shen saw Zhenren Luo's eyes, he was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Goosebumps all over his body stood up, and a trace of sweat fell from his forehead, as if he had no privacy at all under the eyes of Zhenren Luo.
After a while, Zhenren Luo stroked his long beard and his eyes became normal, saying:
"How strange, how strange."
After saying that, Yu Shen was nervous. Could it be that he had seen through his identity as a time traveler?
After Luo Zhenren pinched his fingers and changed several arithmetic numbers in succession, he said somewhat surprised:
"Although the world is changing dynasties, the stars are coming to the world, and the secrets of heaven are in chaos, your destiny is hard to figure out, as if it is not here, how strange."
Gongsun Sheng next to him was surprised when he heard what Luo Zhenren said. He calculated that he was also confused.
Zhenren Luo looked directly at Yu Shen, who was afraid to speak, and said a long time later:
"Well, you have outstanding roots and aspirations for the Tao. In addition, you cannot figure out your fate, or you are a person who breaks the deadline. You can come to Erxian Mountain for a few days, so you can enter my sect."
After hearing this, Gongsun Sheng frowned:
"Break the deadlock? You mean?"
Master Luo smiled and said with a smile:
"Yes, in this world, the people are in trouble, and we, Han people, will suffer a great disaster. Although you are the ones who are above the stars, it is rare to be able to save one's life and accumulate external achievements in the game. On the contrary, Yu Shen's fate is unique, and he may be able to compete for us, Han people."
Yu Shen raised his head, and he naturally knew what happened in the Song Dynasty later, and looked directly at Luo Zhenren and said:
"Then why don't the real person compete for me, Han people?"
When Gongsun Sheng heard Yu Shen’s words, he hurriedly said:
"Brother Yu Shen, don't be rude."
Zhenren Luo didn't care, and raised his hand and said:
"It's okay, my friend asked, although I am a practitioner, I am a Han person after all. I don't want to stand idly by the disasters of Han people. However, I and Yiqing have all been granted the talismans. The Taoist name is written to the Heavenly Causes. You should not easily interfere in human affairs. Yiqing's life can still follow the trend in the situation. If I take action, it will definitely cause even greater disasters."
"Give the talisman?"
Yu Shen has never heard of this word, Gongsun Shengdao:
"The master and my name are both written to Tiancao, and the immortal spirit talismans are given. It is equivalent to having a Taoist position. You can send gods to fight ghosts and gods to protect your bodies, but you are also subject to restraint. Many things cannot be done. Those who act forcibly will be punished by Tiancao, which will aggravate the disaster."
After hearing Gongsun Sheng’s explanation, Yu Shen roughly understood that both their master and apprentice are on top, and their strong abilities are subject to control.
But my fate is unpredictable, it is a good material for a shit-making stick.
Yu Shen said:
"After I joined the real person's disciple, do I need to give a talisman to you?"
Luo Zhenren smiled and said:
"Only by entering the door without giving a talisman can we fight for our Han people. If you give a talisman, your destiny will be bound to Zixu Temple, Taoist Sect, and Tiancao in the Two Immortal Mountains, and you will be subject to restraint."
"Can you pass on the Dharma to me without giving the talisman?"
"Can the monks in front of the Han Dynasty give talismans, but can they practice differently? Taoist priests who do not give talismans shall not order to summon the talismans, gods, and star officials, and they shall not drive the land, but the methods of practice can still be passed on."
"If you don't give the talisman, you are not a formal Taoist priest. Can you become an immortal?"
"Previous wise men before the Han Dynasty, alchemists can also be called Taoist priests or become immortals. Why can't you? Those who are dedicated to Taoism are Taoists and can seek the Taoist priests. You don't need to worry about this. In this case, can you be willing to join my Taoist sect?"
After hearing this, Yu Shen basically had no doubts in his heart, and if he didn't teach the talisman, he would have no precepts and moderation.
Although we cannot summon the priests, generals, and star masters in the heavenly court, and cannot drive the land, we can still become immortals and a big road. Although we do not have a backer like the heavenly court.
"I wish to join the real person's disciple and this thing will serve as a teacher's ceremony."
Yu Shen bowed under Luo Zhenren's seat and held his "Zhouyisantongqi" and said sincerely.
At this time, Yu Shen received a new task again, which is obviously the main task of [Water Margin World]:
【Great Calamity on Earth】
Mission requirements: Change the history of the Han people being enslaved by foreign tribes and make the Han people prosper again.
Mission reward: Energy points × 5000, [Yunze Kui Bone Destroying Demon Seal], Intermediate lottery times × 2
The explanation of the task is relatively simple, and Yu Shen didn't have time to think about it carefully. This world is not simple, and the immortals and gods are showing the tracks. The difficulty of this task is obviously not low, and it still needs to be planned carefully.
Zhenren Luo looked at Yu Shen and smiled:
"Great charity, you can be a disciple of my disciple. If you don't teach talismans, you don't need to do red tape. I will accept this "Zhouyi Shentongqi" for the time being and serve tea and become a disciple."
After saying that, the boy next to him came over with a tray. Yu Shen got up. The boy signaled to put the silk book on the tray. Yu Shen took the tea cup on the tray.
The boy presented the "Zhouyisantongqi" to Luo Zhenren, and Luo Zhenren signaled Gongsun Sheng to put it away.
Yu Shen took the tea that emitted a faint fragrance and followed him to Luo Zhenren to serve tea.
Zhenren Luo stroked his sleeves, took the teacup, tasted a mouthful of fragrant tea and said:
"In this way, you will be my disciple. If you don't give me a talisman, you don't need to be subject to precepts and restraints. However, you also need to keep your body in a good manner. If you do evil and harm, you will definitely clean up your door and remember."
Yu Shen bowed and said:
"Remember the master's teachings, but master, don't you give me a Taoist name? I think Senior Brother Gongsun has Taoist name."
Gongsun Sheng smiled and said:
"The Taoist names are all taken by oneself, but the junior brother does not have the word Guan, and there are no elders in the family. I can ask the master to write Guan for you."
Yu Shen was immediately embarrassed. He knew that Gongsun Sheng had a Taoist name, but he didn't know that this thing was taken by himself.
However, it is better for Luo Zhenren to give a font size, so it is quite convenient to have characters in this ancient times.
Yu Shen bowed and said:
"Please ask the master to be the disciple."
Luo Zhenren stroked his beard:
"Okay, you don't have elders in your family. It is reasonable to use your teacher as a teacher to give you a crown. Your name is cautious. Those who seek the Tao must persevere. How about your font size? "
"Yu Shen, Yu Jinheng, thank you for your name."
Yu Shen was quite satisfied with this word and seemed quite educated. He bowed to Luo Zhenren gratefully.
Zhenren Luo called the boy and said:
"For you, Senior Brother Jingheng is tailored and reported it to the government for purchasing certificates."
The boy said that he was the one, and used a ruler to measure Yu Shen. Yu Shen asked while cooperating with the boy:
"Master, do you still need to hold a certificate of tribute if your disciple does not give you a certificate?"
Gongsun Sheng next to him replied on his behalf:
"Your junior brother, you just returned from overseas and do not have a registered residence in the Song Dynasty. Although the registered residence in the Song Dynasty is not very strict, you have many inconveniences. It is much more convenient to walk in the world with the covenant certificate. If you hold the covenant certificate, you need to dress as a Taoist priest."
After listening to this, Yu Shen realized this joint and said:
Chapter completed!
