"Brother Zhong Lin, you, why do you dress like this? When did you become a Taoist priest?"

Luo Xiaoman's eyes turned red in an instant when he looked at Zhong Lin.

"Xiaoman, I..."

Seeing Luo Xiaoman like this, Zhong Lin didn't know what to say for a moment. What he feared the most now was seeing Luo Xiaoman cry.

At this time, Luo Xiaoman suddenly saw Mr. Zhang, who was dressed the same as Zhong Lin.

"Grandpa Zhang, it's fine if you want to be a Taoist priest yourself, how can you pull Zhong Lin to be a Taoist priest with you..."

Luo Xiaoman started to choke as he spoke, tears rolling in his eyes. In Luo Xiaoman's heart, he always believed that the reason why Mr. Zhang did not marry and have children was because he devoted himself to Taoism and studied Taoism all his life. She also believed that Taoist priests were like monks and could not get married and have children.

"Oh, my stupid sister, now, your brother Zhong Lin will become a Taoist priest in the future. From then on, he will never ask about the world and live a life like a wild crane..."

The plum blossom bird smiled and did not forget to sprinkle a handful of salt on the "wound".

"snort……"

Luo Xiaoman stomped her feet in anger, and tears finally fell down.

"Youyou, my silly sister, I'm really crying. My sister is teasing you. Not to mention that your brother Zhong Lin is not a Taoist priest yet. Even if he really becomes a Taoist priest, it will not affect his marriage and having children. Think about who is Zhang Wuji's father? What is Song Qingshu's father doing? Taoist priests can also be divided into monks and non-monks."

When Meihuaque saw that Luo Xiaoman was really crying, she knew that she was too much of a joke, so she quickly changed her voice.

"Hmph, Sister Meihuaqiu, you are so bad. How can I cry? I was narrowed by the wind and sand..."

Luo Xiaoman blinked his eyes, raised his head, then looked at Zhong Lin and said, "Brother Zhong Lin, I heard from grandma that you are going to Zixia Palace, I want to go with you..."

It is obvious that Luo Xiaoman received the imperial edict from "God of Lafayette". No matter how inappropriate it is, everyone has no reason to object...

Zixia Palace is located on Qingyuan Mountain in the southern suburbs of the southeast city, and Qingyuan Mountain is part of Chilong Ridge.

Zhong Lin and others drove more than 30 kilometers. When they first arrived at the foot of Qingyuan Mountain and were still a distance from Zixia Palace, they found groups of people dressed in Taoist priests heading up the mountain. According to Mr. Zhang, these people were all going to participate in the annual seal-editing ceremony of Zixia Palace.

The car went forward for a while and could no longer move forward, so everyone abandoned the car and began to walk up the mountain. At this time, it was clearer that many people along the way were wearing Taoist robes like Zhong Lin, and of course, ordinary clothes like plum blossoms, mountain eagles and Luo Xiaoman. Because tourists were rejected on Qingyuan Mountain today, these people should be believers.

When he arrived at the palace gate of Zixia Palace, Zhong Lin was indeed very surprised because the scale of Zixia Palace was really quite large. The entire Zixia Palace was built against the mountain, and the more you went in, the higher the terrain, so you can clearly see her whole picture when you stand in front of the palace gate.

Zixia Palace has five-story courtyards, and the houses in the palace are lined up one after another, arranged in an orderly manner, with clear layers, high-end but not luxurious, simple but not lacking in grandeur.

There is a platform the size of a football field at the entrance of the palace, with a huge gossip pattern painted in the center of the platform. At this moment, the platform has long been full of Taoist priests, lay Buddhists, believers and people who come to receive seal scripts.

The people who arrived first had already lined up two long queues, waiting to enter Zixia Palace. When Zhong Lin and others were not sure which team to be lined up, they suddenly heard someone shouting loudly:

"Labs and outer disciples are in the left line, believers and general worshippers are in the right line..."

The person who called out was a little Taoist priest wearing a blue Taoist robe, with a loud voice and full of confidence. The huge square was crowded and bustling, but strangely, the voice of the little Taoist priest made everyone hear it clearly, and the effect was obvious. Some people who had just arrived or who had stood in the wrong team began to take the team again.

"This little Taoist priest is not very loud, and his voice is quite loud. The legendary Qu'er's little tone is just him?" Shan Ying said jokingly. Indeed, even if a trainer like him wants to let everyone in the audience hear it by shouting, and he will be unsure of it.

"Hey, this little Taoist priest showed his skills intentionally or unintentionally!" Old Master Zhang said with a smile.

"What?! Show your skills! Mr. Zhang, what do you mean by saying this? Did he just shout? Is there any trick here?" Meihuaque asked curiously.

"That's natural, otherwise whoever of you shouted and tried it to see if it could have such an effect." Seeing that Meihuaque and Shanying were a little dissatisfied, but there was no objection, Mr. Zhang continued: "Actually, it's no big deal. If you know the truth, then the little Taoist reveal's move can only be considered a trick of a carving insect!"

"Don't tell me what Taoist technique this little Taoist priest used!" said the plum blossom bird.

"The Taoist method is not a question, but he did use a primary talisman. The effect should be just a white amplification note."

Seeing that the interest of plum blossoms and mountain eagles was aroused, Mr. Zhang, the quasi-master, also became energetic, coughed lightly and continued, "This kind of amplified note is one of the sound talismans, and it is also the most basic one. After you take the seal, you can use it freely. In addition, the more common sound talismans include "Send the Sound and the Secret" and "Thousand Miles of Meaning the Sound and Transmission", etc. Those require higher talismans, and the requirements for the talismans to be given are also relatively high."

"Old Zhang, do you mean we can also receive seal script?" asked Plum Blossom Bird with some excitement.

"Of course, do you think I brought you here just to let you see the world? Although you have not officially started, you are already considered my disciples. As long as you are willing, you will be our Iron Shouldermen in the future!" Mr. Zhang said seriously.

"There is no problem to follow you to learn Taoism. If we are asked to join Taoism, we will not be able to make the decision. We are all special forces..." Shan Ying said seriously.

"I will not force you to do this, I will teach me. It doesn't matter whether you join Taoism or not, and I will not force you." Mr. Zhang said with a smile. He said that, and did the same. In the past period, he has taught the mountain eagle and the plum blossom bird very carefully, but he has never regarded himself as a master, just not wanting to make things difficult for them.

"By the way, Mr. Zhang, what Taoist priest said just now, lay people, who are the believers? Who are we? How should we line up?" Luo Xiaoman asked softly, because she had already realized that she seemed to be a little different from Mr. Zhang and Zhong Lin, and should not be in the same line.

"The Taoist priest is a formal disciple, including inner disciples and outer disciples. It's like I am an outer disciple, but I am an outer disciple who has participated in the seal ritual. A lay priest is a person who cannot or does not have the conditions to become a monk because of social, family or personal reasons, and he is willing to enter the Taoist priest. With the consent of the Taoist sect, he formally chooses a master to become a Taoist master, and teaches him the name of Taoist sect, and becomes a lay Buddhist. Zhong Lin can be called a lay Buddhist." Mr. Zhang said meaningfully and looked at Zhong Lin.

"Old Zhang, so you and Brother Zhong Lin are on the left, so where are Shanying, and Sister Meihua Bird?" Luo Xiaoman asked reluctantly.

"You are only half right, and Zhong Lin is right on the left. Although I am an outer disciple, I have already said just now that I have participated in the seal receiving ceremony before, so I will not participate in this seal receiving ceremony. I will only participate in the qualifier grade exam after the seal receiving ceremony. As for the plum blossoms and birds, Shanying, you three can only be considered believers at most, and they are those who believe in Taoism, so you three can only be on the right." Mr. Zhang said.

"Wait, Mr. Zhang!" Before Luo Xiaoman could speak, Shan Ying called Mr. Zhang first:

"Then can Meihuaque and I really participate in the seal reception ceremony and become a talisman master? That's that simple?"

"Simple? I can only say that I have the chance! Whether I can be qualified to participate depends on your luck. You two have been learning to draw talismans with me for a while. This time I bring you two here, one to let you see this seal-seeing ceremony, and the other is to try whether you can pass the exam to obtain the seal-seeing qualification." Mr. Zhang said.

"Ah?! I still have to take the exam. What I fear most about growing up is the exam!" Shan Ying said with a frown.

"Let's go, it's useless." Meihua Bird said, and walked towards the team on the right first.

Luo Xiaoman pouted again when he saw Xiao’s mouth pouting again, and wanted to go with Zhong Lin and the others. Looking at the team on the left, almost all the people in the team were wearing Taoist robes, and most of them were men, with only a few Kun Dao wearing Taoist costumes. Luo Xiaoman had no choice but to follow Shanying and Meihuaque to the team on the right. However, the words Zhong Lin said to Meihuaque, "Take good care of Luo Xiaoman" made her feel much more comfortable and she went to queue happily.

Although they all came to participate in the seal ceremony for the preacher, the people in the left team were obviously "professional players", while the people in the right team were at most "amateur players".

"Hey, Boss Huang, are you here to attend the seal ceremony?"

The person who spoke was Zhong Lin, and the one in front of him was the boss Huang from the antique shop sold to Zhong Lin’s “Four-Dislike” compass. Today, the boss Huang also wore a sky blue Deluo robe and a pair of Ten-Party Shoes under his feet.

"Hello, layman! I'm 'Purple Bamboo'! It seems that I and the layman are indeed destined to be a person!"

Boss Huang bowed his head, still looking kind and kind.
