Taoist Name Xianyun Apprenticeship Ceremony

Shen Roujiao did not hesitate at all. She surprised the master by saying, "Why didn't you think about it?"

"Because you not only saved my mother, but also gave her a career she loves."

Tan Cuimei is someone else's wife and mother, but Jingxuan is herself, a Taoist doctor, an identity that she cannot return to and is unwilling to give up.

"However, I have a condition." Shen Roujiao sat half a meter away from the Grand Master and looked at her with a smile.

"Tell me about it." The master liked her straightforwardness and intelligence.

"I can't live in a Taoist temple like my mother. I want to go back to Yunnan, where I can do what I want to do. So, please reconsider it, Master." You have the rules for accepting disciples, and I also have the principles for becoming a disciple.

The herbal medicine business has just started, and the real beginning is from now on. She will not give up.

!

Oh, this girl is interesting. She is neither timid nor blindly following others. She dares to think and act with clear goals.

You have personality and can be my apprentice.

The master was amused by Shen Roujiao, and the people standing outside the house looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that the two of them had such a good chat.

"It's easy to be my disciple. All you need is to have a brain. I am a Taoist disciple. It's the master who is looking for the disciple. The method is not sold cheaply, the Tao is not passed on easily, and the great way is only for those who are destined to be saved. You are the third disciple that I, Ciyun, am looking for." The eldest master supported himself with his arms, trying to prop up his upper body. She wanted to sit up.

"Okay. I'll help you." Shen Roujiao lowered her head, put the master's arm on her shoulders, and supported the master with her body.

"Come in, all of you."

Several people outside the house responded and came in. They saw the master leaning on a thick quilt, with Shen Roujiao sitting beside her. "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Jingxuan, go get the letter of apprenticeship, Lingxi, take my Taoist robe, and I will accept you as my disciple."

......

In the central main hall of the Taoist temple, on the long table above the statue of the Taoist master Zhang Daoling, there is a copper incense burner with three long incense sticks inserted in the middle. Wisps of green smoke are rising, and the unique and mellow fragrance slowly spreads, like an invisible veil, floating in every corner.

Grand Master Ciyun sat on the right side of the long desk. She was wearing a blue Taoist robe, her silver hair was tied into a bun, she wore a Zhuangzi scarf on her head with a white jade hat in the middle, and she wore ten-sided shoes on her feet.

Shen Roujiao knelt on the round cushion in front of the master and read aloud the letter of assent: "The teacher's duty is great. To learn from a teacher is to be sincere. Now I am Shen Roujiao, and I wish to become the disciple of Master Ciyun... I have no regrets and I write this to show my sincerity."

After finishing reading, she glanced at Lingxi beside her. The little nun cupped her hands in front of her forehead and said, "Oh." Shen Roujiao immediately held up the letter high, which was taken by the master and placed on the table.

After presenting the letter of apprenticeship, Jingxuan recited the declaration: "The innate mystery, the Tao originated from Tai Chi, the principle connects Yin and Yang..."

Her voice was soft and her expression was solemn. Shen Roujiao was fascinated by her. It was hard to imagine what a mysterious fate this was. They were mother and daughter, both teacher and friend, and they entered the Taoist sect together.

"Give me the Taoist name: Xianyun." The master unfolded the red paper in his hand.

"Thank you, Grand Master Ciyun." Shen Roujiao kowtowed and took the note.

Wow, there is a golden spell on the paper, and the handwriting is neat and beautiful. Hehe, after rebirth, I can have such a rare life experience, it feels so good.

Zhou Huaiyue noticed that Shen Roujiao had her hands behind her back, making a 'two' gesture with her hands, and her eyes were full of pride and complacency. He sighed and thought: You're still pretty, you'll cry when I'm reciting the prescription.

When it came to the tea-offering session, Lingxi brought a tray with three cups of tea on it. Shen Roujiao presented them to the master one by one with a frown. The first two cups were offered to the Taoist ancestors and sprinkled in front of the statue. The third cup was offered to the master. Ciyun happily raised her head and drank it all.

She waited for these three disciples for nine whole years. "One changes into seven, seven changes into nine, and nine changes into the ultimate." This is truly God's ultimate will.

It's fate. Ciyun handed the reply letter to Shen Roujiao, and took out a red envelope from his Taoist robe. He waved to her and asked the disciple to come closer. "Come on, third brother, this is the red envelope I saved for you. Take it quickly."

Wow, there is a red envelope for becoming a disciple. Shen Roujiao quickly opened her hands to receive it, but was stopped by Jingxuan, "Master, this is not polite."

The apprentice should have presented the apprentice gift last, but time was tight and Shen Roujiao didn't know much, so she couldn't say more. But it was the first time I saw a master giving a apprentice a gift, and it was outrageous.

"What etiquette? She is my apprentice, and I love to give my money to her." Ciyun pushed Jingxuan away and stuffed the red envelope into Shen Roujiao's arms, "Third brother, from now on, all my money will be given to you."

"Master, I have money, especially a lot of money. From now on, I will give you my money." She took the red envelope and winked at Master Ciyun.

The master and the apprentice were inexplicably compatible, making each other very happy. Shen Tianhua, who was watching the ceremony, shook his head, then he leaned over to Zhou Huaiyue and asked an important question that he was eager to know: "Little sister, can you get married in the future?"

As soon as he entered the house, he wanted to ask if this Taoist nun was like a Buddhist nun, who would not marry, have children, or be part of the mundane world. If so, how would he explain this to his father and brothers when he got home?

Zhou Huaiyue looked at Shen Tianhua, a sly look flashed in his eyes, the corners of his lips raised an inconspicuous arc, and he said calmly: "Don't worry."

?

"What do you mean?" The eldest brother was a simple-minded man and didn't understand.

"Ask your mother." Zhou Huaiyue glanced at him and didn't say much.

After a simple ceremony of becoming a disciple, Shen Roujiao officially became Ciyun's third disciple, with the Taoist name Xianyun, and her two senior sisters were Jingxuan and Lingxi, and they stayed in the Taoist temple.

That night, Shen Roujiao handed the letter written by her father to her mother. She didn't know what was written in it, but her mother cried while reading it.

"Mom, Dad and brother, they all miss you and are waiting for you to come home. Do you want to go back with us after the New Year to visit them?" This was the most important task of her trip.

"Grandmaster is in poor health and Lingxi is still young. If I leave, no one will be able to take care of them." The mother wiped the tears from her face, her eyes full of apology.

Over the years, she had thought about returning to Yunnan. In the first few years, when the Taoist temple was being rebuilt, there was a shortage of manpower and she could not leave. Later, Ciyun fell and was bedridden, and she had to take care of his eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, and she could not leave.

Years ago, Ciyun fell seriously ill, and thanks to Zhou Huaiyue's life-saving medicine and prescription, she was able to save her life. She finally saw her third disciple whom she had been thinking about day and night, and she couldn't leave.

Shen Roujiao held her mother's hand and said, "Can they come to see you? It has been very difficult for Dad over the years." When they talked about Shen's father, both of them had tears in their eyes.

He raised five children by himself, was gossiped about by the whole village, and was blackmailed by Wang Jianxin, but he endured it and brought them up. Now that the children are doing well, he finally feels relieved. Guessing that his mother can't go back, Shen's father wants to come here to take a look.

"Yeah. OK."

After a few words, the two of them talked about why Shen's mother left without saying goodbye.

At that time, she had just been involved in a murder lawsuit because of black wolfberry, so she had to be careful about everything. One day, Aunt Xu from the village came to the Shen family crying and begged her to go see her daughter Yaya. The child suddenly fell into a coma, and no one could help her after trying everything. When she asked the village chief to go to the county town to find a doctor, Yaya began to convulse all over. She thought that Shen's mother in the village knew some medical skills, so she came to ask her for help.

But Shen's mother didn't dare to do that. Firstly, she really didn't have the ability to save people. Secondly, she didn't dare to give any more advice. What if someone died again? How would she live? She would become a burden to her family.

Therefore, even though Aunt Xu begged her on her knees, Shen's mother did not go. Later, the child died. The Xu sisters thought that it was because she watched her daughter die without saving her life that she could not wait for the doctor to come.

Later, they forced Shen's mother to burn incense and kowtow in front of the child's grave, but she refused and rolled down the mountain in a shoving match. When Shen's father climbed over the mountain to look for her, Shen's mother heard it, but she never responded. She knew that after returning to the village, Wang Jianxin and Aunt Xu would keep causing trouble, and the Shen family would never have peace as long as she was there.

Therefore, she could not go back, and was rescued by the wandering Master Ciyun despite her injuries.

Suddenly, I finally understood why Aunt Xu and her sister kept making trouble and hated the Shen family. But they deliberately concealed the fact that Shen's mother fell to the bottom of the mountain. Their bad intentions were obvious.

"Actually, I regret it. I should have been braver and gone to see the child. Just in case, just in case, I could have saved her." A benevolent doctor is dedicated to saving the world. As long as the patient and the family members do not give up, the doctor cannot give up.

"Mom, you weren't a doctor at that time. You did the right thing." People don't have the foresight to look back, so we can't use our current situation to judge our past selves.

The mother and daughter talked about a lot more, from the past to the present, talking about everyone: talking about how Father Shen is a full-time dog breeder, talking about how the second brother is a good businessman, talking about how the third brother is good at accounting, talking about how the fourth brother has a nice radio voice, talking about how Brother Rushan chases colorful phoenixes every day, talking about how Sister Ruyu is preparing for the college entrance examination... Everyone is working hard to change their own lives, and everyone is vivid and cute.

At night, Shen Roujiao and her mother huddled together under a quilt and she fell asleep in her mother's arms. It was the first time in her life that she truly felt the warmth of a mother's love.

…

Zhou Huaiyue and Shen Tianhua returned to the village and lived in Zhou's father's old house. When the villagers and the children who wrote letters found out, they all came to see them. Zhou Huaiyue distributed candy to everyone.

Early the next morning, when the two went up the mountain again, Shen Roujiao was sweeping the yard with a broom, mumbling something in a high-spirited tone. When she saw them come in, she started to complain with a tearful face.

"Master, the Grand Master said that being her disciple is easy, all I need to do is be smart. But the result is that she asked me to recite the Tao Te Ching, and I was not allowed to eat if I couldn't recite it." She complained as if she had a lot of reason.

But she didn't tell him that originally the master wanted her to recite three scriptures, but he showed her special favor by only requiring her to recite the Tao Te Ching, which is regarded as the first scripture in Taoism.

Yesterday she was too proud of herself, but today she is too discouraged. Zhou Huaiyue guessed it right, but it was just the beginning. The Tao Te Ching is much easier to memorize than a prescription. It would be strange if she didn't cry at that time.

"You can't eat, but you can eat candy." Zhou Huaiyue quietly stuffed two candies into her mouth, and then said, "I'll teach you how to recite it. I guarantee you'll remember it quickly."

"Great! Let's start after sweeping the yard!" Shen Roujiao raised her face and smiled brightly at him. She was already impatient for the so-called mysterious prescription.

Because the master said: After she finishes memorizing the "Tao Te Ching", he will teach her the original mysterious prescription, and he will only give it to her, the novice third disciple.

Wow, the legendary plot in the movie is actually going to happen to me. I am really flattered. There are so many hidden benefits of rebirth through book travel. It is worth investing in it.

happy!
