The one who transmits the Dharma is the one who transmits the true Dharma and leads the way. Practitioners with true Dharma lineage must go through such a thing before they can be called apprentices. Otherwise, even if they are passed on supernatural powers, they cannot be said to be master and disciple. Instead, it is regarded as the private transmission of the Dharma lineage. Leaking supernatural powers is a serious violation of taboos for many Dharma lineages.

The Dharma cannot be passed on lightly. One must examine the person repeatedly and assess their character and aptitude before being taught the true Dharma.

For a disciple, it is extremely important to meet a famous teacher and learn the true teachings. However, for a teacher, it is also a major event worth celebrating to meet a disciple who meets his expectations in terms of character, aptitude, and understanding. Finding such a person among countless sentient beings and a vast sea of ​​people is like finding a needle in a haystack.

The girl whispered doubtfully, "I remember that ordination seems to be very important, and it requires three masters."

"Uncle Niu, is this okay today?"

Huang Niu watched this scene slowly and said calmly, "There are three masters coming: the ordination master, the recommendation master, and the supervising master."

"But there is no one in the world who can be the supervisor this time."

"And the recommender is a teacher who recommends disciples to enter the Tao, but..."

He sighed and said, "That senior wants to accept a disciple, does he need someone to recommend him?"

"Who else is qualified to recommend?"

This matter was serious, and Qi Wuhuo was taken to bathe and then brought back again.

He had read Tan Tai Xuan's "Records of Becoming Immortals", which recorded Tan Tai Xuan's experience of being ordained and entering the Tao at a young age. Because it was an extremely important matter, he recorded it in great detail, as if he was worried that he would forget the process and make mistakes when accepting disciples and ordaining them in the future.

Therefore, Qi Wuhuo knew that the first step should be to [lead the disciples to the front of the avenue, bow three times, and burn incense].

Then he wrote a jade book on the post, saying the following: Now I burn incense to offer sacrifices to all the gods and saints, the tenth-level high-level immortals, the Jade Emperor, the Purple Wei North Pole Emperor, the Hou Tu Emperor of the Earth, and wrote the names of all the immortals and gods all the way to the heavens and the underworld, and all the powerful spirits, to show the solemnity of accepting disciples.

After bathing, Qi Wuhuo was still wearing the blue shirt, but he untied the straw rope that originally tied his hair, so his black hair hung down.

The boy's black hair fell to about waist level.

There was a desk in front of him. The old man was sitting opposite the desk, while Qi Wuhuo was on the other side.

The two men faced each other across the table.

There are only three fragrant plants in the middle.

The old man stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "Can Wuhuo know the ritual?"

Qi Wuhuo nodded, he exhaled slightly, and under the guidance of the man, he lit three incense sticks, then picked up the brush, dipped it in the golden ink, paused, and put pen to paper, just like Tan Taixuan did back then -

"I will burn incense and offer sacrifices now..."

The old man just took a look and laughed and said, "It's wrong."

Qi Wuhuo picked up the pen and looked at the old man. The old man pointed to the words on the white paper scroll and said, "It's not an offering."

"This is where you need to use the word [report]."

Qi Wuhuo picked up his pen and wrote again [Notice to the Gods].

The old man added: "You, you don't have to be so polite at this time. It's just a ceremony. There's no need for such red tape."

The old man said lightly:

"One word of complaint is enough."

Qi Wuhuo exhaled slowly, started writing again, and finished writing the jade book.

The old man stroked his beard and said, "Keep everything simple. Don't make it too complicated. Thank you for your help."

He looked at the man next to him.

The man smiled and bowed, saying:

"Senior, how dare I refuse?"

"But since this is such a serious matter, it would be a bit disrespectful for me to dress like this."

He was now wearing the clothes that ordinary people often wore when they went to the fields to farm. Because they were easy to work with, the trouser legs were quite short. However, when encountering serious matters, people in the world would also change into more serious clothes. So this seemingly honest and simple man rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I didn't expect that I would have such a fate. I didn't prepare in advance."

"That's really rude. My wife just made me a new one."

"Please allow me to come back with a changed outfit."

But in just a moment, he was back.

He also changed his clothes, which looked like a Taoist robe, but also like a general's battle robe.

He wears a black crown, combat boots, a jade belt around his waist, and a brocade battle robe, which is exquisitely embroidered with the scenery of mountains, rivers, and all living things, and the pattern of the second star of the seven stars of Xuanwu in the twenty-eight stars, with bright stars, and the clear and magnificent brows. It is just like the second star god of the seven stars of Xuanwu has come to the world, just like the bull god of the bull has come to the world.

He asked Qi Wuhuo to stand in front of the incense table and the scroll, and said with a smile: "I never thought that I would be the master of salvation."

So he told Qi Wuhuo not to move.

He personally took off his worldly clothes, even his shoes, and burned them with fire.

Only a long white gown was left.

Then he asked the woman in green to bring a tray, took down the plain shoes, and said with a smile, "Put on your shoes first."

The old man held the whisk in his hand and said gently:

"You should step on your own two shoes and forever leave the six dusts. Although the path to enlightenment is long, it must begin with your own steps. This step is the very beginning."

"May you devote yourself to the Dao and step on the altar of the spirit."

He then said calmly, "My disciples who wear these shoes will not walk into dangerous places or places with demons wherever they go."

"Often attend the Dharma Assembly and walk directly to the immortal steps."

The man called another woman in green over and took out the water-repellent suit which was mainly blue and white. This suit was different from ordinary Taoist robes. It was more simple and generous, and it was casual and relaxed. It was divided into a top and a skirt. He took out the skirt first, wrapped it around his waist, and let it hang down.

He then took out the cloud sleeves of the Water Cloud Clothes, first tied up the inner garment with the arm guards, and then put on the wide cloud sleeves with water cloud patterns.

Lightly cut the clouds and tailor them into robes.

The upper part is lined with a frosty silk cape, and the lower part is tied with a flying skirt. It is the clothing for the middle way and should not be separated from the body for even a moment.

Lastly came the blue robe, which was originally very wide and fell to the knees. He took out a five-colored silk sash and tied it around his waist, which made it simple and elegant, and gave him a feeling of a heroic young man.

The old man stared at the young man in front of him, watching him take off his mundane clothes and put on his white inner garments.

He wore Taoist shoes, Taoist robes, cloud-like sleeves, and a silk sash, and in the end he turned into a handsome young Taoist priest.

The old man looked gentle and said, "Clothes are one; they are meant to unite people, to unite with fellow Taoists, and to unite with purity."

"The upper part is the garment, the lower part is the skirt; the upper part is the sky, the lower part is the earth; the Tao walks between heaven and earth."

"Only when one is impartial can one be upright."

"My disciples who wear this robe and walk on this path will not be afflicted by disasters, will be protected by the saints, will not be invaded by evil, will not be approached by evil, will be able to eliminate the bad karma of the three worlds, and will be able to help the nine ancestors transcend."

The man next to him was slightly surprised and looked at the old man. He had never thought that this transmission was more solemn than the previous ones. Even the ox that was slowly eating the rice sprouts was stunned. He turned around and saw a scene that made the ox, which was originally lying down, stand up all of a sudden and was speechless.

!!!

The man turned to take the crown, then turned back in shock, his eyes wide.

The young Taoist stood there quietly. It was he who should have been crowned.

But the old man gently stroked the young man's head and said with a smile:

"Is this considered [The Immortal touches my head and I am blessed with immortality]?"

He waved to the man over there, who stepped back cautiously. The old man then gently tidied up the young man's hair and suddenly said with emotion, "Wuhuo is not yet of age."

Qi Wuhuo said quietly: "Yes, after the New Year, I will be fifteen years old."

"Haha, then don't wear the crown for now."

"Let's go for the hairpin first."

The old man laughed, personally tied up the boy's hair and put a hairpin on it, then took out an ordinary wooden hairpin and fixed his black hair in place.

It's just such a simple action.

The girl didn't know why her father and Uncle Niu were so shocked that even their faces changed.

It was just an old man tying the hair of a young man.

It's just a Taoist hairpin.

Finally, the old man took out the jade slip and said with a gentle smile: "The word jian means to simplify things and to be calm and collected."

"My disciples should uphold it, and when they should uphold it, they should observe it, look up at the stars and worship the constellations, pray to the saints and pay homage to the truth, be the glory of the Tao, and be a model for the rites of heaven and earth."

"Do you know?"

"yes!"

Qi Wuhuo was wearing a water cloud robe with hanging cloud sleeves and a Taoist hairpin in his black hair. He then solemnly took the jade slip with both hands.

The old man stroked his beard and said calmly:

"The most mysterious and profound, the door to all wonders, is called Tao."

“If you can’t see it, it’s called Yi; if you can’t hear it, it’s called Xi; if you can’t touch it, it’s called Wei.”

"These three cannot be questioned, so they are mixed into one. The upper part is not bright, and the lower part is not dark. The rope is beyond name, and returns to nothingness. This is called the shape of the shapeless, the image of the nothing."

"Become my disciple."

"Daoist name - Xuanwei!"

"I hope your name will be written on a jade tablet and your body will be covered with a robe of clouds!"

"To summon all spirits to supervise, and the Five Emperors to bear witness!"

!!!

The last sentence made both the man and the scalper change color.

All spirits supervise and the Five Emperors witness? ! !

Just this one brilliant word seemed to be able to reach both heaven and hell, and it seemed as if something had changed between heaven and earth.
