Chapter 29: The Apprenticeship Ceremony

Ren Fei stammered and replied, "Where, where...... You...... You don't have to blame yourself......"

Su Ning is already smart and moving, I don't know how amazing she will be when she is dressed in women's clothes.

They didn't have much to say, so Qianguang asked the two Dao boys to take the male and female disciples to the Tridacnus Palace separately and arrange a place to stay. Due to the small number of female disciples and the spaciousness of their residences, they lived in a courtyard called the "Pearl Pavilion" - the courtyard and temple in Qiongke City were named after treasures.

There are nine female disciples in total, one room for every three people, and those in the same room with Su Ning are "Su Ying", who is two years older than her, and "Ge Ping", who is five years older than her, and the spiritual power of both of them is the second rank of the first level.

Su Ying is a chattering little chatter, Ge Ping has a calm temperament and rarely speaks, but she is also amiable.

The three of them changed into a robe in the room, and the robe and shoes and socks were made of something, and after wearing them, they would automatically shrink or become larger, which could match the wearer's body shape, which was amazing.

However, what is even more peculiar is that the clothes have no traces of stitching at all, and are made of a single piece of cloth. Su Ning was puzzled, looking for the stitched thread on the robe, but still didn't find it.

Su Ying saw it and said with a smile: "Su Ning, do you think this dress is weird?"

Su Ning nodded and said, "I don't know how this dress is made?"

Su Ying said: "I don't know how to do it, but I've only heard of 'seamless', it is said that the clothes worn by the immortals in the sky do not need to be sewn, and our robe may be made by the immortals." ”

Su Ning smiled, she felt that Su Ying was quite knowledgeable, so she asked again: "Senior sister, I didn't understand some of what Master Yuyangzi said, can I ask you?"

"Say it. Su Ying replied briskly.

"What are the Three Realms?"

"The Three Realms are the Three Realms of Heaven, Demons, and Demons. Su Ying explained to her in detail: "The heavenly realm is the place where the heavenly people live, where the four seasons are like spring, all the people are happy to work, there is no birth, old age, sickness, suffering, no natural disasters and floods, and even a good place; the demon world is the place where the demons live, which is very similar to the heavenly realm, but because the demons are warlike and bloodthirsty, and they are ferocious by nature, so the blessings are not as good as the heavenly realm; the ghost world is the place where the hungry ghosts live, where the mountains and rivers are poor, there is no grass, and there are disasters from time to time, and the hungry ghosts are often not allowed to eat for decades or even hundreds of years, and the misery is unspeakable. ”

Su Ning nodded violently when she heard this, and suddenly felt that she had gained more knowledge, and she asked again: "Then why did Shizun (Yuyangzi) say that we should go to the Three Realms to look for mineral deposits, spars, animal bones, and other things?"

In the Datong Mountain School, disciples are called "Master" by the three helmsmen, "Master" by the seven disciples in the sect, and by age by the same generation, they are called "brothers, sisters, etc."

This question stumped Su Ying, she was not sure: "Maybe you want to sharpen us......"

At this time, Ge Ping, who had never interjected, said: "Mineral deposits and animal bones and other things are all raw materials for tempering weapons, and animal bones are matched with fairy grass, etc., and they can also refine elixirs. Disciples whose spiritual power has reached the fifth level of the initial level can go to the 'Xuanxi Labyrinth' in the city to break through, and those who pass the pass can obtain a Dan furnace for refining weapons, which is called 'Heavenly Refining Furnace', which is made of Tianzhi Ding and the furnace lid, and the Heavenly Refining Furnace needs to put the raw materials collected by themselves into the Heavenly Refining Furnace, smelt them with spiritual energy, and after a certain period of time, they can refine weapons or pills. ”

Su Ning and Su Ying were fascinated by what they heard, and Su Ying looked at her with extremely admiring eyes: "Senior sister, you are really talented and rich." ”

Ge Ping explained: "It's over, my father was a Dingmao-level disciple of Datong Mountain, so I learned about this. ”

Su Ning also admired: "Senior sister, Ling Zun is amazing." ”

Su Ying couldn't help but be curious, and asked one after another like pouring beans into a bamboo tube: "Senior sister, are the materials in the Three Realms the most inferior in the Ghost Realm? Is the Heavenly Realm the most powerful? But the Heavenly Realm is the most difficult to go, right? Are all the weapons refined will recognize the Lord? Are other people unable to use them?"

Ge Ping had a good temper and answered for her one by one: "Not necessarily." There are also places in the human world and the ghost world that contain precious materials, and although the ghost world is barren and withered, it has quite a lot of mineral deposits. My father said that the most abundant raw materials in the Three Realms are the Demon Realm, because the Demon People are good at fighting and obedient, the Demon Beasts are fierce and violent, and the Demon Realm also has extremely dangerous places, and many disciples will choose to go to the Demon Realm to find materials. It is indeed not easy to go to the Heavenly Realm, and the disciples who go to the Heavenly Realm are generally looking for immortal grass to use to refine elixir, but there are also many spiritual grasses with divine effects in the Demon Realm and the Human Realm. Which realm to go to depends on the Master's decision, and the disciple has no right to choose. The weapons refined in the Heavenly Refining Furnace do not necessarily recognize the Lord, and my father's weapons do not recognize the Lord. It is also unknown what kind of materials you can practice, it all depends on what kind of materials you put into it, the amount of materials, and the strength of spiritual power, all of which will affect the weapons that are tempered. ”

Su Ying was envious, and she wished that she would have a Heavenly Refining Furnace immediately, and she muttered: "The Heavenly Refining Furnace is amazing!"

Ge Ping said: "In fact, in addition to the Heavenly Refining Furnace, there are many unique treasures in Datong Mountain, but there are very few people who can get them. ”

Su Ying said longingly: "One day the refining furnace is enough! I also want to refine my own weapon quickly!"

Su Ning didn't speak, she hoped to refine the elixir more than the weapon, preferably the elixir that cured all diseases, so that she could cure her grandmother's eye disease and help others......

The three of them chatted energetically, and only stopped when they arrived at the meal.

The place where the disciples eat is the "Coral Hall" in the Tridacnus Palace, in addition to the new disciples, there are also some old disciples, most of them are left after three hundred years of practice, because of their outstanding performance, most of these disciples have reached the Ding Mao level, in the bun or white jade hairpin, or green jade hairpin, blue jade hairpin is only a few, ruby hairpin is not one.

Su Ning and Su Ying came to the Coral Hall, and when she saw that Xiahou Yi and Ren Fei were also there, the three of them just greeted each other. Su Ning has now resumed her identity as a daughter, and it is not good to mess with them anymore.

Su Ning and the others found an empty seat and sat down, and the meal was already set on the table. There are two meat and two vegetables, a soup and a fruit, and a plate of fragrant white rice is placed in the center. Taoism does not taboo meat food, but there are "three hates", that is, the sky is tired of wild geese, the earth is tired of dogs, and the water is tired of turtles. These three kinds of meat are absolutely not allowed to be eaten by cultivators.

The new disciples are not blessed to come here, they have to take turns to be on duty in the dining room, help prepare meals, and after the meal, they have to wash the dishes and chopsticks, sweep the floor and wipe the table.

Early the next morning, all the disciples bathed in incense and went to the Chixuan Hall to hold a grand apprenticeship ceremony.

The head of the house, Yu Zhenzi, did not attend, and sure enough, it was as mysterious as the rumors, but it was Yu Zhenzi's senior sister "Yu Qingzi" who attended. Six of the seven great disciples of the Datong Mountain Sect attended the event.

Yuyangzi and Yuqingzi were dressed in solemn Dharma robes, sitting on the high platform, six disciples were lined up on both sides, and there were dozens of Taoist children standing on the Danqi, some of them held jade wat in their hands, Ruyi, Dharma seal, jade book, incense burner, canopy ruler and other things. Some of them are banners, fishing drums, flags, tokens, and arrows.

After the disciples bowed before the holy images of the previous heads, they stepped forward in order to press the incense. The two masters led the disciples to recite the Sutra, and the disciples stood under the stage with their heads down, and no one dared to look up at random at this time.

After the apprenticeship ceremony, the disciples went back to their rooms to rest. As soon as Su Ying entered the room, her mouth, which had been stuffy for most of the day, began to talk non-stop:

"Oh! The rumor that Master Yuqingzi only accepts female apprentices is true, her two disciples are both women, and the three apprentices of Master Yuyangzi look older than him, why is there only one apprentice of the head of the sect? But he looks so handsome! I can't even take my eyes off it! How can anyone be so handsome?"

Su Ning and Ge Ping both reacted flatly, Su Ying saw that they didn't talk to each other, and she was a little bored, so she asked with a flat mouth:

"Why? Didn't you see that?"

Su Ning shook her head: "I keep my head down. ”

Su Ying said: "I also lowered my head, but I secretly watched...... Alas, it's a pity, haven't you all seen such a handsome character, I don't know when I'll see him again next time~~"

Ge Ping said: "I heard my father say that the two apprentices of the head of the family are both top handsome people. ”

Su Ying grinned: "I also heard that the head of the house seems to like to pick good-looking people as apprentices, not only are the apprentices handsome, it is said that the maids and Taoists in the head of the palace have to pick beautiful ones, the head of the house really pays attention to appearance, I don't know what the head looks like......

Su Ning also chimed in and asked, "Why didn't the head of the sect and his other disciple attend?"

Su Ying said: "I heard that the head of the sect went to the heavenly realm to participate in the Fa meeting, and his big disciples also followed, and they only stayed in the heavenly realm for half a day, but one day in heaven and one year on earth, and three hundred and fifty years on earth, so they have to leave for more than one hundred and twenty years." ”

Su Ning was puzzled: "The head of the house has been away for so long, isn't there any chaos in the city?"

"Senior sister, you don't know anything. Su Ying looked inquiring and said: "The head of the family has always been careless, and the affairs of Qiongke City are managed by the two masters of Yuyangzi and Yuqingzi, and there are seven masters who will also assist, speaking of which, the head of the family is quite happy." ”

Su Ning admired her for being so well-informed, but she didn't know anything. She asked with admiration: "Senior sister, you are really well-informed. ”

"Where, I also inquired yesterday when I went to the dining room to wash the dishes. Su Ying shook her hand and laughed evilly: "I have also heard a lot of rumors about the two masters, I heard that Master Yuyangzi is a white crane spirit, his apprentices are all spirits, the eldest apprentice Master Qianyan is a soft-shelled turtle essence, the second apprentice Master Qianhui is a weasel essence, which is what people call Huang Xian, and the third apprentice Master Qianguang is a tanuki spirit, haha...... He's kind of like that. In short, he picks on the spirits first. ”

Su Ning remembered that the second princess of Tu Mountain, Bai Guanhui and General Bai Shu, had also studied in Tu Mountain, so it was not surprising that the masters and apprentices of Yuyangzi were spirits.
