Chapter 148: Gifts are exchanged
Wangyue Peak, the main peak of the Luoxia Mountain Range, ushered in the most lively ceremony today, and Venerable Zilou personally presided over Yang Teng's inauguration ceremony as honorary elders. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the most lively celebration in the history of the Purple Building, all the elders and deacons of the three generations of disciples attended, and the second generation of disciples came twenty, among which Su Zhiyi did not participate under the pretext of being unwell, and the other disciples in the Luoxia Mountain Range were all present.
The disciples of the four generations and those outer disciples were naturally not qualified to participate in such a grand ceremony, and Mochizuki Peak did not have such a wide venue to accommodate so many people, so it was limited to three generations of disciples.
The auspicious time has arrived, and Venerable Zilou announced the beginning of the ceremony, "Please Yang Teng take the stage to be inaugurated as an honorary elder!"
Yang Teng came to the ceremonial platform and gave a deep bow to Venerable Zilou, "Disciple Yang Teng has seen Venerable. ”
Without the gift of master and apprentice, Yang Teng's inner respect for Venerable Zilou did not need to be expressed in these forms.
"Yang Teng, are you willing to join my Purple Mansion Sect, contribute to the Luoxia Mountain Range, and maintain the dignity of the Purple Mansion Clan, even if you pay your life for it!" Venerable Purple Mansion asked in a loud voice.
Yang Teng replied loudly: "The disciple must follow the rules of the Purple Building, if there is any betrayal, the five thunders will hit the top!"
Venerable Zilou founded the Purple Mansion lineage so far, whether it is accepting disciples or preaching and teaching, he does not pay attention to the cumbersome process, as long as he can abide by the rules and is willing to pay for the Purple Mansion lineage, he is a qualified disciple.
"The old man announced that from now on, Yang Teng will be a member of my Luoxia Mountain Range, and he will be awarded the position of honorary elder, and his status is the same as that of Liang Dongyun and others, so you must not bully Yang Teng because he is young!" Venerable Zilou's voice reached the ears of the disciples who were watching the ceremony.
The disciples had already received the news in advance, so they were not surprised at this time.
Zhu Yiping looked at Yang Teng on the stage, and felt very strange in his heart, a few days ago, he took Yang Teng to the Luoxia Mountain Range, at that time, he was just amazed that Yang Teng's comprehension ability of alchemy was extraordinary, and he felt that after Yang Teng entered the first vein of the Purple Building, he was willing to work hard, and if he got the favor of any elder, he would definitely have something to do in the future.
Unexpectedly, Yang Teng soared into the sky and became an honorary elder of the Purple Mansion in a blink of an eye, and he now has to call Yang Teng his uncle.
Luck or detachment?
Zhu Yiping shook his head secretly, the world of genius is not comparable to ordinary people like himself, it is said that Yang Teng's alchemy is far above the meaning of the fifth master Bosu, yesterday the fifth master proposed to compete in alchemy, but in the end Yang Teng vomited blood.
With such a strong strength, how can he be compared to his own little disciple, if he can get Yang Teng's guidance, maybe his alchemy will be improved to a higher level from now on.
Zhu Yiping didn't have any jealousy and dissatisfaction in his heart, what he thought was that he could be regarded as Yang Teng's leader, and with this relationship, he would be indispensable to his own benefits in the future.
He thought so, but the other disciples didn't.
There were some white-haired old men watching the ceremony below.
Venerable Zilou accepted thirty-five disciples in his lifetime, and these disciples of his also accepted many apprentices, some of whom were relatively old.
Now seeing a sixteen-year-old boy standing on the stage, becoming an honorary elder, and later their uncle, most people are very unconvinced.
But no one dared to stand up and question Venerable Zilou's decision, didn't they see that Su Zhiyi didn't have the face to come over today.
The process of the ceremony was very simple, and soon came to the last item, where Venerable Zilou handed a purple jade plaque to Yang Teng.
This is the status symbol of the disciple of the Purple Mansion.
The Purple Mansion is spreading out, and the disciples' sphere of influence is not only the Luoxia Mountains, nor is it limited to the Izumo Empire, there are Zilou disciples in the entire Dongzhou.
In order to identify the identity and prevent the cannibalism from happening, each disciple has a jade plaque that symbolizes identity.
Yang Teng took the jade plate with both hands and took it respectfully.
The jade plaque is dark purple, with a towering high-rise building on one side and four big characters engraved on the other: Honorary Elder. In the lower left corner is a Yang character.
Yang Teng knew that the dark purple jade plate represented that he had the same status as Liang Dongyun and the others, and the honorary elder indicated his identity.
There were originally thirty-five dark purple jade plates in the entire Luoxia Mountain Range, and the one in his hand was thirty-six. It is represented as a second-generation disciple of the first line of the Purple Building.
The jade plaque of the three generations of disciples is slightly lighter in color, light purple, and the front is also a towering high-rise building, and the back depicts the identity and name of the purple building and which cave it belongs to.
What Zhu Yiping is holding is a lilac jade card.
The four generations of disciples are white purple jade plates, and the fifth generation of disciples are pure white jade plates.
Now there is no sixth generation disciple in the Purple Mansion First Line, so there is no jade plate of this level yet.
Then, Venerable Zilou announced that the disciple assessment was about to begin, and asked all disciples to treat them correctly.
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Yang!" Yi Hua and others came to the stage and congratulated Yang Teng, and Yang Teng returned the salute one by one.
Yang Xin was very dissatisfied, and muttered in his mouth: "The dignified purple building is in the vein, and the honorary elder inauguration ceremony, this is too shabby." ”
In her opinion, this is not as grand as the scene when Wind Thunder Town greeted the messenger, and it is not worthy of the status of the third brother at all.
Yang Teng knew that this was already the largest ceremony held in the Luoxia Mountain Range, and Venerable Zilou was indifferent to fame and fortune by nature, and he was never keen on those meaningless things.
If it weren't for the three generations of disciples to get to know this honorary elder, Venerable Zilou wouldn't even hold a ceremony of this level, so he would gather a few second-generation disciples and announce it and it would be over.
At the end of the ceremony, Yang Teng greeted the senior brothers, and then returned to his cave with Yang Xin and Ximenye.
Since the peaks around the main peak already had owners, Yang Teng's cave had to be arranged in a farther location, and it seemed very remote.
In terms of position, it is even inferior to the cave mansion of some three generations of disciples.
But Yang Teng didn't care about this, the more remote the location, the quieter, Yang Teng was quite similar to Venerable Zilou, and he didn't like the lively life.
However, this cave has all the facilities, and the alchemy room and the refining room are very satisfying to Yang Teng.
It's just that Yang Teng has just arrived, and he doesn't have any foundation, and his cave mansion has not arranged for outer disciples to serve.
This is also Yang Teng's own meaning, according to the rules of the Luoxia Mountain Range, he should be arranged with some outer disciples, who usually clean the courtyard and take care of the cave, but Yang Teng doesn't want these outer disciples.
He hasn't taken in apprentices yet, so there are only three of them in the cave at the moment.
Whether it will increase the population in the future depends on Yang Teng's own intentions.
"Look at the people, who are hugging each other, shouldn't you also consider recruiting some disciples? Yang Xin suggested that Yang Teng, an honorary elder, was really good enough, and he even had to do the work of cleaning up the courtyard by himself.
Usually, the materials needed for the alchemy refiner have to be collected by himself, and no one runs errands for him.
Let's take a look at the thirty-five disciples of Venerable Zilou, which one is not the one who is in front of him, and the most powerful even has tens of thousands of disciples and grandchildren.
If you want to do something, you just need to say a word, and someone will immediately run back and forth.
Compared to them, Yang Teng was too faceless and completely unworthy of the title of Honorary Elder.
Yang Teng smiled slightly: "Do you think that's interesting?" Wouldn't it be a mistake for me to recruit disciples, and I don't have the heart to teach disciples. I don't want an outer disciple to run errands for me, so it's better to be quiet. ”
"Besides, I don't plan to live in the Luoxia Mountains permanently, why do I recruit so many people. ”
It is a good thing that there are many people, but there are also many troubles, to teach disciples to cultivate, allocate various resources, and deploy disciples to do things, Yang Teng hates these things the most.
"Senior Brother Yang, that's not what you said. As soon as Yang Teng's words were finished, Yi Hua came to visit.
"Senior Brother Yi, please, I'm relatively simple here, Senior Brother Yi can sit casually. Yang Teng hurriedly invited Yi Hua in.
"Senior Brother Yang, I don't agree with your words, I thought the same way at the beginning, it is a lot of trouble for so many people, and I usually have to take care of them, but have you thought about it, if you go out to travel, who will take care of it here, it will be difficult to achieve such a wasteland, and when you come back, the grass is everywhere, do you pull it out one by one, someone must take care of the cave for you." Yi Hua said with deep feelings.
Yang Teng smiled: "Senior Brother Yi, at my age, I am afraid it is not good to let people serve." ”
When he was in the Yang family, Yang Teng only had Yan Xiaoyu by his side, he didn't want servants to serve, he did everything by himself, and he didn't have the frame of the eldest young master.
"There's nothing bad about it, being able to serve by your side is the glory of those outer disciples. Yi Hua waved his hand, "Zhu Yiping, from now on, you will temporarily help Elder Yang manage the Cave Mansion." ”
Zhu Yiping stepped forward, "Disciple Zhu Yiping has seen the elders. ”
"Don't be so polite, speaking of which, I can come to the Luoxia Mountains to become an honorary elder, and you are still my guide. Yang Teng laughed, now that he is an elder, he naturally cannot be commensurate with Zhu Yiping as a brother.
"Come and see the elders. Zhu Yiping beckoned the twenty disciples behind him to step forward.
The crowd saluted, "I have seen the elders." ”
"Senior Brother Yi, what does this mean. Yang Teng asked.
Yi Hua smiled: "You are deserted here, I will ask them to come over to help you add some popularity." ”
Yang Teng could see that these people were not outer disciples, but apprentices recruited by Yi Hua, "Senior Brother Yi, this is not appropriate." ”
Yi Hua glared, "What's wrong! You and my brother still need to talk about those useless things." Besides, my human nature is unstable, and I usually don't teach them much life things, so Senior Brother Yang will remind them a little bit in the future, and let them be used for life, which is also their blessing. ”
Speaking of which, it would be too hypocritical for Yang Teng to refuse again, which is tantamount to not giving Yi Hua face.
Yang Teng knew that this was Yi Hua who gave him a favor, after all, Yang Teng helped him refine the Worry-Free Pill, which was also a courtesy.
"Okay, thank you for your kindness. Yang Teng had no choice but to accept it, thinking in his heart that in the future, he would have time to teach them something based on the characteristics of these people, which could be regarded as giving back to Yi Hua, after all, these people were the disciples recruited by Yi Hua.
Zhu Yiping went down with twenty disciples.
Yi Hua said: "The disciple assessment is about to begin, I don't know what Senior Brother Yang has planned." ”
The disciple assessment is divided into several stages, the first stage assesses those disciples who have just started, that is, the monks who entered the Luoxia Mountain Range with Yang Teng, and now those who remain have passed the second round of assessment and become official disciples of the first line of the Purple Building, and the third round of assessment will be conducted to confirm what strength these disciples have.
After this round of assessment, these disciples will enter the inner and outer doors according to their performance in the assessment.
If you successfully enter the inner door, you will be noticed by Yi Hua and other thirty-five people, and according to their performance, they will be under the door.
The second stage of the assessment has nothing to do with these people, the object of the assessment is the outer disciples, and if they perform well, they can become inner disciples. There is also the opportunity to worship under the thirty-five second-generation disciples.
The third stage is the big examination of the three generations of disciples and inner disciples, which is presided over by Venerable Zilou himself, and those who perform well will have the opportunity to listen to Venerable Zilou's sermons when they go to the main peak of Wangyue Peak.
The significance of the third stage of the assessment is not limited to this, it is also a competition of the strength of the thirty-five caves, which one of the caves has more qualifications to go to the main peak, which one of the caves is stronger, which shows that this second-generation disciple has a good teaching.
Therefore, the third stage is the assessment that the thirty-five second-generation disciples attach the most importance to.
Yi Hua also asked casually, according to the normal procedure, Yang Teng should participate in the first stage of the assessment and strive to become an inner disciple.
But now Yang Teng is already an honorary elder, and he has no disciples under him, so the assessment of the three stages has nothing to do with Yang Teng.
Yang Teng said: "Senior Brother Yi, I want to participate in the first stage of assessment. ”
