Sword from the Immortal Mountain

Chapter 61: Become a Disciple (Please collect and read)
Compared with the outer courtyard, the architectural style of the inner courtyard of Yunshan Temple is much more ancient and simple. There is an old peach tree planted in the courtyard, and it is now in bloom.

The peach tree is young and beautiful.

Chen Jin took a look at the peach tree and saw a layer of divine light coming from the tree.

This is a real old peach tree. Not only does it have strong roots, but it has also been worshipped and offered sacrifices over the years, which is why it can develop a divine aura.

If you cut it down, take the wood and make a talisman and hang it at home or at the door. It can calm the mind and ward off evil spirits.

"Shhhhh!"

The peach tree seemed to sense the danger of being cut down, and its many branches, along with the peach blossoms on them, all bowed their heads in unison towards Chen Jin.

The meaning seemed to be: if you want to get the peach charms, just cut off the branches, but never cut the trunk...

He is quite well-informed.

Chen Jin smiled slightly. It was just a fleeting thought and he had no real intention of doing it.

He doesn't need to sell peach charms to make money.

The Taoist who was in charge of reception sent the person to the gate of the Taoist temple, but he did not dare to go in. He turned around and left, wanting to quickly report to the abbot Yun Cheng.

He met the nun Yun Ning who was running towards him.

Yun Ning stopped him and said, "The temple master and I all know about this matter. Go outside and don't make any noise."

Facing the most proud female disciple of the temple master, the Taoist priest in charge of reception was submissive and went straight out the door to continue guarding the door.

The nun realized that she was not only distracted, but also confused. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She didn't care about hiding the strangeness of the peaks and mountains, so she walked in and saluted Chen Jin: "Mr. Chen, you are here."

Chen Jin replied: "Well, I want to ask the master about something."

Yun Ning smiled and said, "It just so happens that my master has something to talk to you about... A while ago, I went to Chenze Township to look for you three times, but you were not there."

"I'm traveling to study."

"Oh, let's not talk about that. Mr. Chen, please come in. No, it should be you please come in."

During the whole journey, Chen Min felt like she was dreaming. She was always worried that she would not be able to enter the gate of Yunshan Taoist Temple. Unexpectedly, the temple master personally spoke and politely invited them in.

And this female priest, although she is wearing a Taoist robe and no makeup, she is really beautiful and has a gentle attitude.

Yun Ning led the way, passing through the front hall where the Three Pure Ones were enshrined, and entered the Taoist temple at the back.

There are five statues enshrined inside, with the five colors of "blue, red, yellow, white and black", corresponding to the five internal organs and the five elements.

This kind of design has its own particularities.

The Three Pure Ones in the front hall are the faces and the supreme Taoist gods.

Since they are gods, high above us, no matter how people below offer sacrifices to them, they cannot be summoned.

Therefore, the symbolic meaning far exceeds the practical meaning.

The five internal organs gods enshrined in the Taoist temple are different. They are closely related to the Taoist tradition of the temple and are very important.

To make a simple analogy, the Three Pure Ones is the emperor. The emperor is far away and the mountains are high. Everyone knows that there is an emperor, but how many people have actually seen him?

The five internal organs gods are local officials. The county magistrate is not as good as the current one, and in many cases they are much more effective than the emperor.

It’s just such a logical relationship.

Facing these five statues, Chen Min was quite nervous. He felt an urge to worship them and was about to kneel down.

She really knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.

After kneeling down, he stood up and asked, "Brother, don't you want to worship? The gods here are very effective."

The nun Yun Ning hurriedly said, "Your brother is a scholar, and he worships saints, not outside gods."

Are you kidding? If Chen Jin is really the reincarnation of an immortal and possesses great supernatural powers, would the statues of the five internal organs be frightened to fall down when he kneels down?

Unable to bear.

After explaining, Yun Ning said, "Mr. Chen, my master is in the room inside. I would like to invite you to go in and talk alone." "Okay."

Chen Jin walked away, while Yun Ning stayed outside, took Chen Min out, and started chatting under the old peach tree.

Behind the Taoist palace, there is a room with the door open, as if waiting for Chen Jin's arrival.

As soon as Chen Jin entered, he felt a heavy and depressing atmosphere, like a thick layer of soil piled inside.

loess.

The furnishings in the room were extremely simple. There wasn't even a wooden bed, just two futons.

In one of the blocks, there was a person sitting.

He no longer looked like a human being. He was gaunt, pale, and wrinkled, but his hair was red, like a burning torch.

He was wearing a khaki Taoist robe and sitting cross-legged.

It seemed as if the old Taoist had been sitting here for a very long time, turning into a statue. Fortunately, his eyeballs occasionally glittered, indicating that he was still alive.

No one outside could imagine that the famous master of Yunshan Temple would look like this.

Chen Jin looked up and immediately saw some clues: "The Five Internal Organs Divine Method first refines the mind and then the spleen, with the intention of using fire to generate earth. Unfortunately, in a hurry to achieve success, the fire was not strong enough, resulting in the failure to burn the earth. As a result, something went wrong and it got stuck here, with no way forward or backward, and half of it was buried in the earth."

Upon hearing this, the master of Yunshan Temple showed an excited look, and without opening his mouth, an old voice came out: "Please, Master Chen, help me a little."

……

In the yard, under the peach tree.

Chen Min was secretly looking at the nun Yun Ning.

Unexpectedly, the nun was also looking at her seriously.

The girl immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.

Yun Ning smiled and asked, "Are you Mr. Chen's sister?"

"Yes, cousin."

"Alas, it seems that I am ignorant of the ways of the world. When I went to the township, I couldn't see Master Chen. I should have gone into the village and visited your home."

Chen Min blinked and asked curiously, "Why are you looking for my brother?"

Yun Ning replied: "There are some things that I need to ask him for help."

"Ask him for help?"

Chen Min was a little confused. In her mind, Yunshan Temple was a place of immortals. The gods had great powers and were omnipotent. How could they need help from ordinary people?
Yun Ning smiled and said, "Your brother is a very capable man... He brought you here this time to do something, right?"

Chen Min did not hide it: "I told my brother that I wanted to learn some skills. My brother agreed, and brought me here, saying that he wanted to find the master of the temple to become his disciple."

Speaking of this, I feel a little embarrassed. After all, I heard from the Taoist master Zhike that the Taoist master of the Taoist temple would never accept disciples from outside, let alone the temple master. Wanting to worship him as a master is nothing but a daydream.

Hearing this, Yun Ning's eyes lit up immediately, and he clapped his hands and said, "No wonder there was a magpie singing on the peach tree this morning. It turns out that there is a happy event coming. Then Xiao Min, from now on, you are my junior sister."

Chen Min was stunned and said anxiously: "But I haven't even met the master yet, and my brother is in there, he should be asking the master for permission, it hasn't been decided yet."

"Silly girl, it has been decided long ago. Besides, you have already become my disciple."

"Ah, when did I worship?"

Yun Ning smiled and said, "Just now, in the Taoist temple, you knelt and kowtowed to the five statues. Master didn't stop you, which means he agreed. Otherwise, how could he let anyone worship the five internal organs statues?"

"You are now my disciple?"

The girl felt dizzy.

The weather is very good today, and the peach blossoms above our heads are in full bloom, which is so beautiful.
