A passerby in a horror movie

As he spoke, he led the group to the temple where the ancestral master was enshrined, and had Li Haotian respectfully kowtow several times in front of the ancestral master's statue.

The Maoshan sect in the movie "The Taoist Priest" is different from that in the real world. Uncle Nine worships several deities, but besides the Three Pure Ones, only the Three Mao True Lords are placed in the main position.

The statue that Li Haotian is currently worshipping is that of the Three Mao True Lords.

"Disciple Li Haotian, entrusted by his master on his deathbed, has become a disciple of Uncle Lin to learn the Dao. Now, I ask the Ancestral Master to bear witness that I will humbly learn and graduate as soon as possible to carry forward the Maoshan School."

After saying this, Li Haotian kowtowed a few more times and was about to get up.

Suddenly, Li Haotian saw the statue of the patriarch seem to flash with light.

Then, with a thud, the wooden tablet in the hand of the statue of Mao Jun on the right fell from its grasp and landed right in front of Li Haotian.

"call"

A gentle breeze swept by, and Li Haotian seemed to feel a special energy enveloping him.

His magical power surged and circulated around his body several times, feeling extremely comfortable, and his magical power also became more solidified.

Although all of this happened in the blink of an eye, Uncle Nine and Master Four Eyes could see it clearly.

The two felt a strong connection to the ancestral master's power emanating from Li Haotian.

The ancestral master has appeared!

Uncle Nine and Master Four Eyes felt a jolt in their hearts. After exchanging a glance, they quickly bowed down to the statue of the Three Mao True Lord.

After the strange sensation in Li Haotian's body subsided, the two got up.

Seeing the familiar scene before him, Li Haotian knew that he had received a divine blessing from the Three Mao True Lords because of his divine connection.

What he didn't expect was that before he even asked the patriarch, the Three Mao True Lords would take such good care of him.

Not only were he given ritual implements, but he was also given initiation and the transmission of the Dharma. It was truly an immense blessing.

There were other people with him; this is really going to be a big deal!

Li Haotian didn't even need to turn around to feel two burning gazes fixed on him from behind.

"You've really hit the jackpot, kid, you actually received a magic spell from Little Mao."

Seeing that Li Haotian was not moving, Uncle Jiu thought he was frightened by the scene and quickly explained to him.

"Hurry up and thank the ancestor!"

Uncle Jiu was afraid that Li Haotian would be negligent, so he hurriedly spoke to Li Haotian.

Li Haotian bowed and thanked him again.

"Thank you for bestowing the Dharma upon me, Master. I will certainly cultivate diligently and live up to your kindness."

As soon as he finished praying, the statue of Xiao Mao Jun flashed with light again, as if responding to him.

Upon seeing this, Uncle Nine and Master Four Eyes, who were standing to the side, changed their gazes towards Li Haotian.

The fact that Li Haotian received a response from the patriarch means that he has gained the patriarch's approval, or even favor!

Since the founding of the Maoshan Sect, such people have been extremely rare, and even in his generation, there has never been anyone like Li Haotian.

Now, both Uncle Nine and Master Four Eyes had to re-evaluate Li Haotian.

Uncle Nine, in particular, is now thinking about how to teach Li Haotian.

After all, Li Haotian has received the attention of the patriarch, so he must teach him with all his heart and soul. If he doesn't teach him well, he won't be able to pass the patriarch's approval.

"Xiao Tian, ​​did the Grandmaster give any instructions?"

After thinking for a moment, Uncle Nine asked Li Haotian.

Li Haotian shook his head.

Aside from being given ritual implements and receiving initiation, he received no other information.

"Get up. Since you have received the approval of the Three Mao True Lords, this is your good fortune. Keep this magic weapon bestowed by the Ancestral Master safe. This is no ordinary magic weapon. You've really hit the jackpot."

Uncle Nine also breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Haotian with envy.

If the true teachings of the Three Mao True Lords were to be passed down, he might have to take Li Haotian to Maoshan.

Upon hearing this, Li Haotian quickly picked up the wooden board in front of him.

As soon as Li Haotian held the wuban in his hand, he felt a strong yet familiar power.

This feeling is very similar to the Wong Tai Sin whisk he obtained before, but the magic power on the object seems stronger.

"Alright, now that you've paid homage to the patriarch, Xiao Tian, ​​you can focus on your studies here with your master from now on."

I'm giving you a day off today. We'll start formal instruction tomorrow, but I won't be watching you all the time. Don't slack off when you're not busy.

I will conduct spot checks on you at any time to see how your foundation is. If it doesn't satisfy me, your senior uncle, I'll be sure to punish you with a rod."

Uncle Nine said to Li Haotian.

After this incident, Uncle Nine also decided to give Li Haotian a lot of support.

Even though Li Haotian wasn't his disciple, Lin Jiu didn't dare to be negligent since the patriarch showed him such favor.

“This kid didn’t learn anything useful from his master. Senior brother, you have to train him properly. He’s a good prospect. Maybe he can even bring honor to Maoshan in the future.”

The Taoist priest with four eyes looked at the two of them and said with a smile.

Due to the development of the times, not only Maoshan, but even major sects like the Quanzhen School of Longhu Mountain are experiencing a shortage of successors.

Among the younger generation of disciples, there are very few who are truly outstanding. The major sects are still doing alright, but some smaller sects are on the verge of extinction.

If you finally find someone who meets the master's eye, of course you should nurture them with all your might.

After chatting for a while, Li Haotian became more familiar with his two senior uncles and was less reserved, speaking more freely.

As they chatted, Lin Jiu brought up Li Haotian's master, glancing at Li Haotian with a hint of regret.

"How did you meet Senior Brother Gao back then? If I had met Uncle-Master earlier, I might have been able to become his disciple."

Lin Jiu said with great regret.

“My master knew my father. When I was abroad, I told my father that I wanted to become his disciple and learn Taoism, so my father asked my master for help.”

Unfortunately, my master was busy with other matters at the time and passed away before he could teach his disciples for very long.

Li Haotian explained

Did your master give you a Taoist name?

Master Four Eyes looked at Li Haotian and asked.

After formally becoming an apprentice, the master will usually give the apprentice a Taoist name.

They only knew Li Haotian's name, but not his Taoist name.

Upon hearing this question, Li Haotian scratched his head and tried to recall carefully. The information given by the space did not mention whether his master had given him a Taoist name.

So Li Haotian could only shake his head.

"No, my master said he would give me a Taoist name after I complete my apprenticeship."

"Now that you have become a disciple of your master, let me give you a Taoist name."

After pondering for a while, Uncle Nine's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"Have it!"

"Now that you have gained the favor of the Ancestral Master, you should take it upon yourself to inherit the Ancestral Master's lineage. From now on, your Daoist name will be Zhenxuan. I hope you can revitalize my Shangqing Xuanmen!"

Uncle Nine said with a smile.
