Chapter 34: Ancestor Worship Day
Ancestor worship day, Chaoyang Peak, outside the Miao Temple.
Disciples of various costumes stood on the thousand-layer stairs one layer after another, until they reached the foot of the mountain.
As a new disciple, Huang Xiaodou stood at the foot of the mountain and was fortunate to see the people who came to watch. There are all kinds of head melons in Wuyang, just below the mountain, and some people have specially built high stands.
Looking up at the mountain again, there is the head of the balls with a brush. Today, disciples are not allowed to take the crown, at most they wear a jade belt that is not very conspicuous as a decoration.
There are a total of 20 people in a row on this staircase, and the famous teacher will stand first, and then there will be the scattered people who have no teacher.
Huang Xiaodou stood first in the first row of new disciples, and on his right hand was Tao Wu, and then Chu Xin.
These three people are naturally the best of the best, and they are baptized by the eyes of a group of disciples.
The clothes of the personal disciples are more patterned and embroidered than the clothes of ordinary master disciples, and the first-level elite disciples will be covered with veils, but at this time, Huang Xiaodou's clothes are much more gorgeous than the clothes of Han Zhu and Chu Xin: although they are the same purple color, they have more silver patterns and corresponding trousers. When I saw this dress in the morning, I only hated myself for not "smashing the pot and selling iron" yesterday and buying a pair of good shoes. Although the pair of gangsters with white backgrounds on their feet is quite matched, the quality is too inferior after all.
There was a tall pistle in the middle, Chu Xin still couldn't help but glance at Huang Xiaodou from time to time, at first Tao Wu thought he was looking at himself, he unconsciously smiled, and tried to stand more heroically and upright.
It's just that his trick didn't work for Chu Xin, but it caused Huang Xiaodou to look sideways frequently.
The handsome guy is on the side, but Huang Xiaodou is inexplicably sad~
Coincidentally, that Zhao Yulong was standing in the third row behind Huang Xiaodou, and across one person, he could clearly see the back of his head that made him jealous and hateful, which made him very unhappy!
Originally, refining weapons should be ranked in front of medical treatment, but in order to show the importance of the healing department, Aoyamamen ranked the disciples of pharmacists and physicians in the front. The Great Pharmacist of Fusang has not accepted new disciples now, so Chen Xiang, who has entered the seat of Wu Qianzhi Physician in the Rejuvenation Garden of Xiaoyin Peak, is just behind Huang Xiaodou's right, and as for Lu Yuewan, he is ranked at the end of the second row, and he frequently looks at it from afar, but he can't see the face of the first person clearly.
Although Agarwood looks ordinary, and she doesn't even have legal attributes, she is particularly favored by the master with her family's medicine and some intelligence, so she has a little confidence.
She looked at the two high-quality young people in front of her, and her heart was surging. Finally, she patted Chu Xin's back to her back first.
At this time, the ceremony had not officially begun, and the disciples on the stairs were neatly arranged, but there were no more laughter and noisy noises.
Chu Xin turned around, and after first seeing the male disciples in the third row who were a little surprised and panicked, then he looked down and saw the short girl smiling innocently and harmlessly at her. "Beautiful sister, what a coincidence, do you remember me?"
Tao Wu on the side also turned around, and Huang Xiaodou naturally turned back when he was curious and bored.
Chu Xin blinked, his voice indifferent, "Oh, it's you." β
She remembered, after all, the wound of the arrow had not yet been completely erased, and her right arm was still drugged. Coupled with Chen Xiang's unexpected pull, Chu Xin couldn't say that he held a grudge, but he always had some minds.
can't deal with girls, Chu Xin didn't know what to say next. Tao Wu looked at Chu Xin questioningly, but Chu Xin didn't pay attention. Chen Xiang looked forward to it for a long time, and thought that she would introduce the handsome brother next to her.
And Tao Wu was just interested in someone Chu Xin knew, and seeing that she had no intention of introducing her, he also turned around.
Or Huang Xiaodou said: "Hey, little sister is you." It's really amazing to be so high in the queue, which master accepted you?"
His words immediately aroused the sideways glances of many fellow disciples on one side.
The nature of active accosting is different from passively accosting! This is the "only" disciple of the head of the sect!
Chen Xiang pretended to be surprised and said: "Oops~ It's the big brother! I didn't even see it was you~" After looking up and down, he sincerely admired: "It's not an exaggeration to say that the big brother is an immortal when he wears this dress." β
The skin of the flower fan is indeed attractive, the nose bridge is high, the pure natural double eyelids, the eyes are deep and black and bright, and the eyebrows are thick and have been carefully repaired by Huang Xiaodou before. If you put it in modern times, you will definitely suspect that this is a handsome half-breed guy.
Huang Xiaodou still likes this little sister very much, and he didn't continue to chat with her that day, just because he had something in his heart. And girls will always have a better impression of ordinary-looking girls.
"Oh, you recognize your beautiful sister, but you don't recognize me as a handsome guy?" Huang Xiaodou said with a smile, he didn't have any shape.
Chu Xin glared at him dissatisfiedly when he heard this. But because of his dress, his eyes shine.
Chen Xiang looked shy, "My brother has never looked back, so Agarwood naturally doesn't dare to admit it." β
Huang Xiaodou smiled brightly, reached out and touched the little girl's head, and said, "Little guy, it's strange to talk." I haven't said which master you've joined. β
Chen Xiang was happy in his heart, and his face was also covered with a layer of red glow, and said: "I am under the seat of Master Wu of Huichun Garden, and my name is still Agarwood, which is the agarwood of medicinal materials~ Brother, what about you?"
This was a little knowingly asked, Huang Xiaodou didn't pay attention, and said: "I'm under the head of the house, you can call me Senior Brother Xifeng in the future." β
Agarwood nodded vigorously, and called sweetly: "Senior Brother Xifeng~" and then turned to Chu Xin, who was looking at Huang Xiaodou, "What do you want to call your beautiful sister?"
Chu Xin's face was cold, but he still sold her face, and said, "Chu Xin." β
"Senior Sister Chu Xin~" This voice is a little sweeter than calling "Senior Brother Xifeng", I wanted to ask her again who her master was, but Chu Xin had already turned around. The smile froze on his face for a while, and then he saw Tao Wu on the side, and immediately put on a warm smile and asked, "Where is this senior brother?"
Tao Wu had been paying attention to Chu Xin's movements, and seeing that she really didn't seem to want to see this little girl, he pretended not to hear it, and talked to Chu Xin: "Senior sister, do you have time after worshipping your ancestors? Senior Brother Qianji plans to take me to Chifeng to refine a good weapon." β
Agarwood was really embarrassed this time, and the sisters next to her were talking for a while, and she looked at Huang Xiaodou with a pitiful look.
Huang Xiaodou felt that this look was a little inexplicable, what kind of trouble was this look of bending on his face? When he heard that he was going to refine Chifeng to find a weapon, he was immediately attracted to attention, so he turned around and said to Tao Wu: "Huh, are you going to look for a weapon?" Can you take me one?"
This made the agarwood behind him unexpected, I thought that I would hear the identity and name of another senior brother from his mouth, anyway, it will be a long time in the future. But I didn't think about it, and people just hung themselves aside.
Her expression was a little stiff for a while, and the sneering sisters beside her laughed even more unscrupulously.
Zhao Yulong, who was in the back, looked at it from beginning to end, and couldn't help but say: "What is the identity of the person, it's just boring to take care of you as a nobody, what kind of high branches do you really think you are clinging to?" His voice was not very loud, but it was particularly harsh in the bustling crowd.
Chen Xiang's face turned blue and white for a while, pretending not to hear this, but in fact he was secretly gritting his teeth.
The three people in front of them don't think about the feelings of the others at all, their identities are high, and although they stand on the same ladder, they are not people from the same world.
Chu Xin was even more unhindered, and he was very tempted to hear about the selection of weapons. Seeing that Huang Xiaodou was also excited, he looked at Tao Wu with questioning eyes.
How could Tao Wu refuse her. It's just that he was unhappy in his heart, and looked at Huang Xiaodou coldly, blaming him for his ignorance. But he said, "All right." For the sake of your master's apprentice. He said the latter very quietly.
Huang Xiaodou was a little cold at this glance, and the words behind him also made him very uncomfortable. The smile on his face was a little unbearable for a moment. Just as the bell of "ancestor worship begins" rings in front, everyone stands up straight, looking ahead, and he is the same.
Suddenly, from the peak of the temple came a burst of bells and chimes and drum music, its sound is loud, and it is still endless to the foot of the mountain.
Someone read out the precepts of the door rules, and a high-level disciple of a hundred meters on both sides of the thousand steps responded at the same time, and for a while, the valley reverberated with the sound of human vocal music, which was extremely shocking, and made people feel that they were not in the mortal world, and they were sanctified from the mortal. No wonder some people come to the foot of this mountain thousands of miles away, thinking that it is just for this moment to cleanse the soul of Sanskrit.
In this sacred and solemn music, Huang Xiaodou mechanically imitated the movements of the senior brothers and sisters in front of him, or raised his hands, or bowed, but Han Qi and Chu Xin on the side did a very good job, but he couldn't keep up, which is also the disadvantage of being the only disciple of the master: without the senior brothers and sisters to take him, he has no way of knowing many things and some news about the meeting.
For a while, he was a little embarrassed, and suddenly remembered the conversation with Feng Qianqiu yesterday, as well as Fang Caihan's words, and then Hua Zhifan's sentence: "Do you think the head disciple is so good?"
Fang Cai's words still made him fluttering, but Han Qi's sentence "For the sake of you as the head apprentice" made him wake up, if he didn't have the name of "head apprentice", then he would fall to the dust, and it was unknown whether he could stand firm in the top five rows.
If you wear this name, you still have no ambitions, like a dirt bun, then what awaits you in the future?
He was too young, if he usually didn't think too far-reaching, maybe because he had died once, maybe because of the relationship between "the body is not his own", he thought more than before, and it was more chaotic.
After all the prostrations, the crowd began to move forward. It was the disciples behind him who kindly reminded Huang Xiaodou to come back to his senses and move forward.
It took a long time to get to their side.
There are dozens of big chairs on the square in front of the Piao Miao Palace, on which are sitting masters of different heights and shapes, and on the golden big chair in the middle is the head of Feng Qianqiu, who is dressed in gorgeous hair.
Ten meters away from the masters, there was a row of futons.
The moment he saw Feng Qianqiu, Huang Xiaodou felt very sober!
"Kneel down to the masterβ" The presiding elder on the side said in a loud voice.
A row of disciples bowed down in unison.
Huang Xiaodou mentioned 100,000 points of spirit, afraid that he would embarrass the master at this time.
"Rite overβ"
After the priest presided over the elder singing, Huang Xiaodou followed the disciples to get up, and saw that the disciples behind him all turned in his direction. He didn't know why.
Tao Wu glared at him and whispered, "Let's go!"
Huang Xiaodou was a little flustered for a while, glanced at Feng Qianqiu and the masters who were looking at it above, didn't have time to think about it, turned around in a panic, and strode out of the side of the square.
