Chapter 005: A Name for the Senior Sister
We do not have so many formalities here; just treat this place as your own home
Indeed, the master's charm is extraordinary nowadays
However, no matter what, he cannot blame his parents, as their concerns are also for his own sake. It is just that nowadays, there are many things he cannot express to them.
Wang Sheng scratched his head and could only say one thing: "It is very tranquil."
However, the master's skill in naming is truly remarkable, Wan Xuan, Wan...
Subsequently, Wang Sheng sighed, standing by the luggage, contemplating in his heart how much he would lose if Qing Yanzi had deliberately stood him up after discussing it with his parents.
Wang Sheng did not think much about it, nor could he understand what was going on.
Ah, thank you, Master.
There may be some story behind this, but Wang Sheng did not dare to inquire casually, especially in front of the person involved
The following is your probationary period, which will continue until the start of your high school. I will assess your character and virtue before deciding whether to admit you.
Qing Yanzi looked at Wang Sheng in the courtyard, who had begun to calm down, with a smile.
One can see many young people earnestly practicing Tai Chi on the mountain path, and also observe several young disciples in Taoist robes dancing with unsharpened long swords in the bamboo grove by the roadside, which indeed conveys a sense of grandeur and tradition of a prominent school.
Indoors
When Wang Sheng saw Qing Yanzi yesterday, he was only preoccupied with his astonishment
This Taoist priest must have been a handsome figure capable of making a fortune in his youth, although he does not appear to show signs of aging at this moment
Moreover, in his previous life, he had neither a master nor any teachings, and could only piece together information from the internet. Even if he secretly managed to infiltrate such a good place for cultivation, it would merely be a waste of the land on the mountain
So it is like this
Wang Sheng苦笑着拍了拍额头,父母果然总是有出人意料的举动,竟然直接贿赂起了未来的仙道大佬
Eighteen years of initiation, this means that one has been raised by the master since birth
Gradually, the stone steps transformed into a pale dirt path; after walking for a while, it changed again into a mountain path covered with moss.
A strong scent of soap wafted towards me
Ah... it's quite early, young man
Wang Sheng looked at his master with a hint of curiosity
The girl blinked her eyes and then smiled happily, imitating Wang Sheng by clasping her fists together, "Hmm!"
Take the snacks out of your suitcase and hand them over? Do you really think you are here to provide aid in the mountains? No matter how simple it may be here, one must not forget the purpose of coming to the mountains.
Master, I will take a stroll in the courtyard
Wang Sheng discovered that his master had a great fondness for laughter, and when he laughed, he was quite charming; from a purely aesthetic perspective, Wang Sheng always felt that Qing Yanzi must have captivated many young female devotees in his youth
Early the next morning, before dawn, Wang Sheng had already gotten up and prepared himself.
The crisp laughter of the senior sister came from the side, clearly amused by the expression of the newly arrived junior brother
Wang Sheng blinked and suddenly remembered that Qing Yanzi had mentioned before that he seemed to have another disciple
Qing Yanzi stepped into the room, and Wang Sheng, unsure of why, felt a bit nervous and was even more curious about what this senior brother or sister looked like
Of course, considering that fee for persuasion, it will also put you through various trials, and it will make you understand the hardships of life in the mountains. Although there are networks and express deliveries here, and it seems only a few miles away from the mundane world, it is entirely different from your colorful and extravagant world
No matter what happens, let's first hold on tightly to this big tree!
Wang Sheng, who had been trudging forward with his head down, raised his head upon hearing the sound and discovered that they had unknowingly walked deep into the mountains
Hmm! The senior sister on the kang nodded seriously again, as if to indicate that she had remembered.
Today's Qing Yanzi seems to have put in some effort to tidy up, and this robe still has a somewhat new feel to it
Do you have a senior brother or a senior sister?
He took large strides, making even the steepest mountain path feel as flat as the ground, and in just a few ups and downs, he arrived in front of Wang Sheng, gazing at him with eyes filled with sleepiness
He is truly afraid that he will never encounter Qing Yanzi again after going up the mountain tomorrow, after all, such a thing is definitely something that certain couples would do
Watching Qing Yanzi ascend the mountain as if walking on flat ground, Wang Sheng couldn't help but break into a smile
Ah!
Gazing around, it seems that the mist is continuously emerging from the sparsely populated forest, drifting deeper into the mountains, transforming into a fairyland of clouds in the eyes of the people
Hahaha
The ethereal figure in the video, the enchanting blue-clad fairy, is surprisingly so slender and petite
The Charm of the Way
Regardless of the circumstances, this will always be one's greatest support in the future, and it is essential to show proper filial piety towards it
Wang Sheng leaned over to take a few glances at titles such as 'The True Explanation of Wudang Swordsmanship', 'The Complete Illustrated Manual of the Seven Stars of Quanzhen', 'The Nine Yin Manual', and 'The Buddha's Divine Palm', which also amused him greatly
Wang Sheng can be said to have a profound understanding of this principle
The practice of cultivation emphasizes the principles of method, wealth, companions, and environment. Hard work and insight are merely foundational; even with effort, satisfactory returns are not guaranteed.
The top ten great masters of the two major rankings protect themselves
Just born
In retrospect, Qing Yanzi had a tall and slender figure, and although his appearance was not particularly handsome, there was an undeniable sense of 'cleanliness' about him. When he walked, his shoulders were relaxed, and his steps were light and agile, with an indescribable charm evident in every gesture.
It cannot be said to be exceptionally beautiful without makeup, but the facial features are well-proportioned, and the appearance is delicate and lively
She is a senior sister
Wang Sheng hurried to his master's side, carrying a suitcase. He leaned forward to look to the left, where he saw a somewhat dilapidated small courtyard, which contained several houses with blue tiles.
Nonsense! Qing Yanzi laughed and scolded, "This is what I, your master, have chosen; would I tell you something incorrect?"
advisory fee
How is the scenery all around?" Qing Yanzi said softly.
Qing Yanzi sighed and said, "Xiao Xuan has been inherently deficient since childhood. Over the years, she has been nourished with herbal medicine, and although she has nearly compensated for it, she still suffers from the ailment of being inarticulate. Her name was given by me: 'Mu' from 'Mu Ye' (pasture), 'Wan' from 'Wan Fa' (to braid), and 'Xuan' with the grass radical."
The young man Qing Yanzi beside him immediately revealed a hint of a light laugh, and his gaze towards Wang Sheng contained more appreciation and affection.
At this moment, to outsiders, Qing Yanzi is at most a martial arts master who conceals his abilities.
This is not right
My father said, "In fact, when I was young, I also had a dream of becoming an immortal through cultivation. Unfortunately, later on, I met your mother and had you, which forced me to quell the restlessness within me."
Indeed, these nicknames are so similar. Having followed the rumors of these great masters for so many years, how did I not realize that they could be master and disciple
Wang Sheng cupped his fists in a formal manner towards this senior sister and earnestly said: "I have met you, Senior Sister. I am Wang Sheng, and I hope for your guidance in the future"
Wang Sheng was deep in thought when he noticed that a paper-covered window in the house directly facing the courtyard gate had been pushed open slightly, and a pair of eyes was peering in, curiously observing the situation in the courtyard
Silent Fairy Mu Wanxuan
A certain master and apprentice exchanged a glance, and the girl secretly pointed outside, then pointed to her head
Missing the greatest opportunity in life results in losses that are far more than severe, and it is estimated that one will live with regret for a lifetime
After passing through a grove of trees, Qing Yanzi smiled and said, "We have arrived. Are you a bit disappointed?"
Come in, don't just stand there.
Based on Wang Sheng's understanding of his parents, the credibility of these statements is essentially less than one percent
Silently speaking, the Dao remains ever green, as does the son of words
The sunlight in the courtyard is warm, and the figure of the young man is bathed in a layer of radiant light.
Wang Sheng, with his legs feeling somewhat weak, sat by the kang, turning his head to look at this and then turning to look at that
What are you so excited about
I have ordered breakfast for my parents, left a note, and then took my suitcase to Wudang Mountain once again
This must be a dilapidated building from several hundred years ago, and fortunately, this place is still habitable.
After having a sumptuous vegetarian meal with his parents, Wang Sheng returned to his room and lay down early, tossing and turning throughout the night
Qing Yanzi said: "You may introduce yourselves to each other. Even if you cannot pass the entrance examination, you can still be considered a named disciple of the master."
My senior sister is named Mu Wanxuan
The disciple has come, and does not dare to trouble the master
That is to say, the rattan chair was turned upside down and pressed down on those tattered books
The morning light is faint, and the mist is hazy; Wudang Mountain in the morning presents yet another scene.
Qing Yanzi sighed with a compassionate expression, slowly nodded, and said: "If there were normal children here, who would be willing to send them up the mountain to suffer? As the senior sister, you should take care of your junior brothers more in the future"
Wang Sheng had no choice but to say it again, "Hmm, Senior Sister, hello, I am Wang Sheng"
Wang Sheng turned his head and glared at his master, causing Qing Yanzi, who was sipping tea from a thermos, to nearly choke
After crawling for a while with my head down, I turned back to look and could faintly see a corner of the flying eaves of the Purple Cloud Palace
Mu Wanxuan
"No need for that, just call me Daoist for now. If you wish to be enlightened, you still need to endure a few trials," Qing Yanzi said with a light laugh, as he went to tidy up his old book stall.
The surname Mu is indeed quite rare
The eaves are overgrown with grass, the paint on the bricks is peeling, and the courtyard gate is left with only half a piece
Neither Yan Dao nor Qing Yan Zi could have anticipated encountering him at the old book stall; it is likely that the fortune accumulated over their two lifetimes has been expended in this instance
However, in Wang Sheng's view, this big shot has likely already opened up all his meridians, and when the primordial energy of heaven and earth returns, he will be able to soar into the wind and transform into clouds
What is this operation
She is also a senior sister with a rather elegant appearance
This is the rhythm for him to walk the world sideways in the future
She appeared somewhat frail, seemingly around the age of twelve or thirteen, with her short hair neatly styled to ear length. The washed-out gray T-shirt had become so faded that the design printed on it was no longer discernible. Sitting cross-legged by the window in a very natural manner, she tilted her head to observe him.
Qing Yanzi immediately threw his head back and laughed uncontrollably
Master, may I sit for a while
Quite good, it can be considered the prime of life
Mother said: "Pursuing one's ideals is a happy endeavor, keep it up"
The old book stall is still here, and Daoist Qingyanzi has yet to make an appearance; it has remained untouched here for a whole day.
Such clear and bright eyes
Mu Wanxuan
Qing Yanzi, this name seems to have been prominently displayed on various rankings since the early rise of the Dao of Immortality, yet no one has ever added the words 'Wudang Mountain' after his name
A hearty yawn sounded from behind, and Wang Sheng's spirits lifted. He quickly turned his head to look and immediately saw a middle-aged Taoist priest in a white and blue robe gracefully approaching along the mountain path.
What should be one's most appropriate reaction at this moment
Wang Sheng licked his lips, his throat trembled a few times, and finally shouted: "Master, Master!"
Qing Yanzi waved his sleeve and led Wang Sheng into the courtyard, while loudly proclaiming: "A carefree guest in a dilapidated tile-roofed house, unbound by the ties of the mundane world. Xiaoxuan, do you not wish to see your apprentice junior? Come quickly and take a look"
No matter how Wang Sheng asked, his parents only gazed at him with loving eyes, saying little else, and encouraged Wang Sheng to diligently cultivate his skills on Wudang Mountain, to learn more about protective sword techniques, lightness skills, and the like
Qing Yanzi did not correct his call, leading the way leisurely ahead, "This way, my residence is on the back mountain. This section of the mountain path is in disrepair, so be careful of your steps."
Upon entering the room, Qing Yanzi directly sat down on a scholar's chair that was missing half a leg. Wang Sheng glanced over at the earthen kang beside him and immediately revealed a slight smile
Upon seeing Qing Yanzi approaching to retrieve his suitcase, he quickly grasped the suitcase in his hand
Indeed, there is no one quite like this
Qing Yanzi said: "First, let me explain to you that I have received a sum of mediation fees and meal expenses from your parents"
In the previous life, it was extremely difficult to find a place like this. By the time Wang Sheng began his cultivation, most of such places had already been occupied by various temples.
However, it must be said that before the revival of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, Qing Yanzi actually set up a stall on Wudang Mountain to tell fortunes and deceive innocent young passersby
Qing Yanzi smiled and asked: "How is it?"
Wang Sheng ran out of the courtyard in two steps. Today marks the third time he has pinched his own thigh, and then he stood there unable to contain a burst of laughter
The young girl nodded seriously in agreement
Wang Sheng took a deep breath, raised his hand to press against his heart, and repeatedly told himself deep down to remain calm, to definitely remain calm, even though the "Silent Fairy" Mu Wanxuan, who had consistently ranked eighth or ninth on the Heavenly Rankings, was sitting beside him on the earthen kang, he still had to maintain his composure
The two doors of the house each have several panes of glass, appearing to provide better wind protection than the windows
Qing Yanzi said: "She has always been shy, yet seeing you not avoiding her indicates that there is some connection between you. Xiaoxuan is eighteen years old this year and has been in the sect for eighteen years. Although you have not formally become my disciple, calling her 'Senior Sister' is not unjust."
Apprentice to learn the way, cultivate oneself to change fate
