It’s the end of the world after becoming a mountain god!
Chapter 149: Recruiting Fortune
In the blink of an eye, another twenty years passed. After countless tricks from them, these two little bastards couldn't even pass the exam!
This really made the Taoist Association's elders lose face.
Seeing Mr. Bai nod reluctantly, Qian Lai and Jin Bao looked at each other and fell to their knees with a bang.
"Master, please bow to me as a disciple!"
"Master, please bow to me as a disciple!"
The two of them kowtowed three times in unison, then looked at Song Tang expectantly.
There was a bit of uneasiness mixed with the anticipation. They had no talent, were already in their thirties, and were considered the worst of the worst in the eyes of outsiders.
Would a genius among geniuses like Song Tang, who is a demon-like existence, be willing to accept them as his disciples?
Song Tang didn't expect that just when he wanted to recruit disciples, someone would come to become his disciple.
She was a little surprised, but she didn't refuse everyone.
"I don't care about talent, age, or gender when accepting disciples." If the demon world hadn't moved away, she wouldn't even have to consider species.
There were a few little monsters in her nameless mountain back then. But when she woke up, there was no monsters, not even a wild rabbit.
Hearing Song Tang say this, Qian Lai and Jin Bao looked at each other with delight, there's hope!
"But..." As expected, things couldn't be that simple, and their faces fell again.
Song Tang naturally saw the uneasiness on the two people's faces. She calmed down and said seriously, "There are three things I won't accept: those who do evil, those who abuse Taoism, and those who are unkind, unjust, disloyal, and unfilial. If you can do this, I will accept you two as my disciples."
So simple?
If we translate the meaning of these three things we won’t accept, doesn’t it mean that as long as the person has good character, we will accept him?
Don't you consider the talent of Taoism? Perhaps Song Tang didn't know how bad the talent gap could be.
Qian Lai swallowed and was about to ask when Jin Bao next to him pulled his sleeve.
Noticing that everyone was looking at him, Jin Bao rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Master is worthy of being a master. He is not like those vulgar people who only look at talent and not character. The points that Master said, we two can naturally do. Don't you think so?"
As he spoke, he nudged Qian Lai with his elbow, and Qian Lai quickly nodded and promised loudly: "I, Qian Lai, swear to the ancestor that if I ever use the Taoist skills I have learned to commit evil, I will be struck by lightning and go to the eighteen levels of hell, never to be reborn."
He wanted to hint Qian Lai to say something nice, but he didn't expect him to be so ruthless and directly cut off Jin Bao's attempt to get away with it.
He gritted his teeth and, not wanting to be left behind, quickly raised his hand and took the oath.
Song Tang reached out to stop him, and Jin Bao tensed up. Was he dissatisfied with his slowness and lack of sincerity? Or did he see through his initial thoughts?
But then he heard Song Tang say: "I forgot to tell you that I don't worship the ancestors, I worship the mountain gods. If you join me, you must also worship the mountain gods with me."
As soon as Song Tang finished speaking, both of them hesitated.
This is a Taoist Association, who wouldn't worship their ancestors?
But the person who could teach them Taoism was just such an oddball.
"Then can we worship the mountain god and our ancestors at the same time?" Qian Lai asked cautiously.
Having believed in his ancestor for more than 30 years, he felt that it was a bit of a betrayal to his master when he suddenly changed his allegiance.
Song Tang deliberately didn't say anything, and their expressions suddenly became tense.
"Of course you can. As long as you believe in the mountain god from the bottom of your heart, I won't care about the rest."
The main reason she accepted disciples this time was to help Xuanmen continue its inheritance, and collecting the power of faith was just a by-product.
Therefore, whether Qian Lai and others have one or more beliefs has little impact.
The biggest impact may be that they may not be able to become devout believers.
He clearly came here just to take the Taoist exam, but when he left, he not only took away the Taoist certificate, but also took away two troublesome people from the Taoist Association.
"You must listen to the master and follow him to learn the Taoist arts well. You must not be lazy. If we find out that you don't respect the master and are being cunning and dishonest because Song Tang is young, you'd better watch out for it!" Old Bai stood at the door of the Taoist Association with his hands behind his back.
Looking at the two people who have grown from children to middle-aged, my heart is filled with complicated emotions.
"You are lucky to have such an opportunity." The teacher with a small mustache tapped the two of them with his fingers. "After today, Song Tang's ability will spread all over the world. By then, there will be many talented and young people competing with you. If you don't perform well and are rejected, we will never accept you."
The two people who were originally in high spirits felt their backs tighten after being scolded by the two elders.
Today they were indeed lucky and could save face, as they saw that the others were envious and hesitant. They were afraid that after today, someone would chase Song Tang and call him Master.
Qian Lai and Jin Bao looked at each other and saw their respective fat, not-young faces, which really showed that they had no competitiveness at all.
A cool breeze blew by, and both of them were surprised to find that their backs were wet.
Jin Bao took a step forward and solemnly promised: "We will follow the teachings of all the seniors. Thank you for taking care of us over the years. We will remember this in our hearts. From now on, we will put Master first in everything. If we ever do something that is not right for Master, you seniors don't need to help us. We will kill ourselves first. Even after we die, let us suffer in the underworld and not be allowed to reincarnate."
Even if the people in the Xuanmen are the most conscienceless, they dare not make such a poisonous oath casually, because they are bound to fulfill the oath.
The two men swore solemn oaths repeatedly, which shows their determination.
Qian Lai nodded vigorously. He didn't care that there were many people watching him. He knelt down and kowtowed three times respectfully to the seniors on the steps.
The same went for Jin Bao, and both of them had red eyes when they stood up.
Over the years, they have already regarded the Taoist Association as their home, and would come here every year to stay for a month or two to prepare for the exam.
Here, they also have a special room. The biggest regret of the two is that they have not yet obtained this special Taoist certificate.
Different from the ordinary blue paper Taoist certificate, this gold metal version of the Taoist certificate is a certificate only for high-level talents in the Xuanmen, and it is also a recognition of their abilities.
Only this certificate can truly allow one to fight demons and defend Taoism in the name of a Taoist priest. Unfortunately, after working so hard for so long, they only have the most ordinary Taoist certificate.
"Again, if you are interested in learning how to draw spells from me, you can come to the Jiangcheng Mountain Temple to find me." Song Tang bowed to everyone, "I'm in Jiangcheng, waiting for you."
He left the Taoist Association with two new disciples.
"Master, where are we going now?" Qian Lai and Jin Bao were both very poor, and almost all of the money they earned was used to maintain the basic expenses of the Taoist temple.
So this time, only one person drove a car, because the location is too remote and it is impossible to get out without a car.
Qian Lai stood in front of his shabby van, looking embarrassed.
Jin Bao diligently helped Song Tang open the car door, and waited until Song Tang got in before sitting on the other side of the aisle, looking as if he was ready to serve Song Tang at any time.
Qian Lai sat in the driver's seat, touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, turned to look at Song Tang and explained: "Master, when I have money in the future, I will definitely buy you a nice car."
Song Tang never cared about these material possessions, and fearing that he would hurt his apprentice's self-esteem, he nodded politely, "I believe you."
Then he handed over his cell phone and let him look at the address.
Qian Lai and Jin Bao have traveled all over the country for so many years, and Kyoto is like their second home, so they naturally saw at a glance that Song Tang lived in the villa area.
It is also one of the most expensive villa areas in Kyoto.
The two looked at each other and fell silent. It seemed that they had accidentally embraced a great thigh.
