C72

After exiting this five-star hotel, the four of us prepared to return to the Taoist temple near Qingdao.

I was going to take the train, but my little senior sister thought it was too slow, so she suggested taking the train back. But she didn't want to take a taxi, she thought it was too crowded, so she took a black car near the train station and drove straight back to Qingdao.

The driver asked for two thousand yuan, but the wealthy little senior didn't even mention the price and just agreed directly. The black car they rented was just a commercial car, so it was quite spacious, so it wouldn't be a problem to put the four of us down.

He had thought that his little senior sister would spend money without batting an eye. Wasn't it a bit of a scam to go from here to Qingdao and give the driver 2,000 yuan? After thinking about it carefully, however, I was sure that the five star hotel would be more than just staying for a night, and my heart was finally at ease. For a loser like me, I felt that it would be worth it to take the train, so I blushed with shame at Little Senior's method of spending money. I was also thinking, just what kind of rich people could marry a rich young miss like Little Senior, an average person definitely couldn't afford it.

By the time we set off, it was already noon, but we were on the train very fast. After about four to five hours, we had already arrived at Qingdao.

When we returned to the temple, it was not yet dark, but after eating the dinner made by the little senior, the sky had already turned hazy.

After dinner, the eldest senior brother said that he would pay my respects tonight and told me to stay in the monastery. He would first prepare some things, and when it was dark, he would go and pay his respects.

I nodded my head in agreement. After that, eldest senior brother and youngest senior sister started to busy themselves. Even my master returned to his room, leaving me alone in the empty courtyard.

The atmosphere became a little tense and my heart started to panic.

Even now, I still can't accept the fact that I'm about to become a Taoist.

I have just graduated from university, why would I suddenly become a Taoist?

A few days ago I was running around looking for a job, and in the blink of an eye I've come to this point.

If I can't figure it out, it will become a fact soon. I can only accept it.

After waiting for almost an hour, the sky had already darkened.

The eldest senior brother came to find me and told me to go directly to the main hall. His master was already waiting there and even prepared a green and grey daoist robe for me to wear.

I agreed and went back to the house to put on the daoist robe. I looked at myself in the mirror and found that it was extremely fitting. I really did have the appearance of a Taoist.

After changing my clothes, the eldest senior brother brought me to the main hall. On the way there, he explained the details of the ceremony to me. The main hall was filled with the idols of the Three Purities Grandmaster.

Inside the room, his Master had long since changed into a new set of Daoist robes and was sitting at the side of Martial Ancestor Three Purities. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

Following eldest senior brother's instructions, I first offered three joss sticks' worth of incense to Martial Ancestor Sanqing and respectfully performed three kowtows and nine kowtows. Afterwards, eldest senior brother brought me a cup of tea and I took it and offered it to Master on my knees. Master took a sip of tea and placed it on the table.

I went back and kowtowed to Master a few more times before Master allowed me to stand up.

From beginning to end, the eldest senior brother and the youngest senior sister had stood to the left and right of the room with solemn expressions, not daring to say a single word.

After I finished my apprenticeship ceremony, my master called me over and said solemnly, "Tian Luo, you will be this humble Taoist's disciple from now on. Now that you have done this, this poor Taoist will tell you about our sect's matters and rules, you just have to listen carefully."

"Disciple will respect Master's teachings." I respectfully replied.

"Our sect is not big, and not too long, you have a master named Wu Wei, who founded our sect. Your master named Wu Wei has taken in a total of four disciples, your first disciple is also your master uncle, Tian Ning, your second master is Tian Ning, and your second master is Tian Ji, and your poor master is Tian Hong, and your third uncle is Tian Hong, and then your fourth master is Tian Ling, and these people are people you have never seen before, but there will be opportunities in the future for me to meet you one by one, and if you enter our sect, we will definitely meet these elders."

I nodded to show that I understood.

Soon, his Master also said, "Your Master was once a cultivator in the Laoshan Supreme Purity Palace for more than a hundred years, and his cultivation has already reached great heights at the age of twenty. However, in the end, for various reasons, your Master was expelled by the Laoshan Supreme Purity Palace and then we established our own faction, it can be said that he is an independent sect, upon entering our sect, there are some rules that must be observed, but our sect also has a few rules. Because we are affiliated with a righteous sect, we do not avoid marriage, do not cheat, that is to say, in the future, you can marry, drink, and no one eats meat."

I immediately kneeled down and respectfully said, "Disciple will carefully follow Master's instructions. I won't dare to violate any of these rules."

His Master nodded and said, "In that case, this humble Taoist will give you a code of honor, called 'plain and honest'. I hope you will live up to my good intentions."

I kowtowed again and said, "Thank you, Master, for the token. I dare not disobey."

His Master nodded. She took out a black object from her yellow cloth bag and handed it to me. She solemnly said, "This is the magic tool that I used before. It was passed down by your master. I'll pass it to you now."

I raised my head and saw that the black object in my master's hand was actually a wooden sword. Although it didn't look good, it still received it.

At this time, the Junior Sister Yang Fan suddenly spoke up, "Grandfather, you're so biased! You didn't pass this treasure to me, why did you give it to my Junior Brother? "There's no need to be so biased …"

His Master chuckled and said, "Little Fan, you're going to marry someone sooner or later. Don't tell me you're going to marry someone with a magic tool passed down by your Grand Master?"
