Chapter 35, Choosing an Apprentice and Apprenticeship I
The door of the Linhai Hall was opened, and some voices faintly came from the hall, and it seemed that some people had arrived. The deacon www.biquge.info who led the way led the five people through the outer corridor columns, but did not lead them into the hall, but turned right and went up the corridor.
Several disciples who participated in the apprenticeship ceremony couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that they didn't have to enter the temple. After all, directly facing the high-ranking elders, many deacons, to say that they are not nervous at all, it is false, and it is good to be able to relax for a moment. It's just that most of these disciples are still minors, and although they have experienced many twists and turns since childhood, after all, they can't get rid of their children's hearts, and how can they suppress their curiosity when they treat the place where they will choose their own apprentices and apprentices? When they pass by the temple gate, they can't help but peek sideways into the hall for two or three times.
Today's Linhai Hall is solemnly arranged and does not lose the joy, through the wide open hall door can be seen, on the bright copper lamp base of the pillar in the hall, the red lampshade has been burned all over the bright light, one by one the lights, stretching endlessly, the red, black and gold silk intertwined carpet laid on the ground of the main hall reflects the magnificent brightness.
The long row of seats on the wall, at a glance, is already full, and most of the adjacent seats are talking happily, and the atmosphere is very warm. Just at a glance, the figures were longing, and it was impossible to tell how many of these people were elders and how many were deacons. But Ab knew that it was these people whom he could not tell whether they were elders or deacons, those who had come to observe the service today and who were interested in taking disciples, and perhaps a few of them would become future teachers of some of the five of them after today.
Abu glanced at random, and was about to retract his gaze, his eyes moved slightly, but he was just hitting a pair of smiling pupils.
Elder Mo?
Abu felt that he must be dazzled.
As the silver elder of the Department of Internal Affairs, Elder Mo is in charge of the material exchanges in the palace, which is an extremely important job. If the Demon Palace is compared to a person, then the materials are the nutrients delivered to the brain, to the internal organs and even the limbs and torso. Because of this, Elder Mo has always been conscientious in his position, and he has never pretended to others when he should hand over affairs. Entering the palace, asking the path, ascending the road, every time I went to Elder Mo's place, I could see Elder Mo quietly guarding the hill, in front of the entrance of the cave, and never left for a moment.
How could Elder Mo, who was so loyal to his ministry, appear here and in front of his eyes?
However, the young man blinked and looked into the hall again, not far from the right side of the main hall, the old man who was looking at himself with a smile and nodding was not Elder Mo, but who was it?
Abu was stunned for a moment, and after the stunned, a warm current surged into his heart.
Why did Elder Mo, who was so loyal to his ministry, leave the perseverance he had always held and appear in front of him?
Looking at the pair of smiling eyes, Abu felt something in his heart.
Most likely, it's for yourself!
The young man's eyes were slightly hot, as if there was something he hadn't seen for a long time, faintly fermenting from his body, surging and vigorous.
He stopped and bowed deeply to the hall and to Elder Mo. Turning, with the other four people in his tail, he stepped into the corridor.
……
The light of the morning reflected from the corner of the eaves into the dark corridor, brightening the last shadow of solitary walking in the corridor. The clear light of the early sun illuminated the slight velvet on the man's face, and drove all the gloom around the man's body into the long corridor behind the man.
In this clear mid-autumn morning, in the gusts of autumn coolness that swept through the corridor, the young man felt a different kind of warmth.
The Demon Palace is majestic in the grassland, the power is controlled for thousands of miles, and its name can stop the cry of children and capture people's hearts.
However, it was in such a demon palace that he met Ah Yuan, met Elder Mo, met Ah Mai and Li Rui, and met Master and Yao Miscellaneous Servants...... Many, many people.
Not only Ah Yuan poured all his care into him, Elder Mo's tolerance and prudence, Li Rui's pure and kind guidance, Ah Mai's treating himself as a brother, Master's earnest teachings, and Yao's kind care......
The scenes since entering the palace slowly flowed in front of Abu's eyes......
At this moment, it seemed that some small voice sounded from the young man's heart.
It's like the slight cracking sound of an eggshell.
It is also like the sound of ice cracking when the rapid turbulence breaks through the thin ice on the water surface under the warm spring sun.
The bits and pieces since entering the palace turned into a stream of heat, and slammed on the layer of the young man's self-sealed shell, making that layer hard and slightly smashing a small crack. This stream of heat, along the fine lines, slowly blended in, quietly softening the long-hidden ice.
In the early morning of this mid-autumn, on the dim corridor of the Linhai Palace, the Demon Palace finally left the first imprint on the young man's heart. The young man's wandering heart slowly fell. The young man's lonely body seemed to feel belonging for the first time.
Facing the rising sun in the east, the warmth in the young man's heart echoed, and the coolness of the autumn morning seemed to dissipate completely at this moment. Only the warmth in my heart quietly rose and fell in my chest.
……
Elder Mo came, of course, for Ab.
Seeing the young man bow at the entrance of the hall, he was even more relieved in his heart.
He has been in charge of the promotion affairs of the palace for more than ten years, and he has seen many children, but there are only two people who like them the most, Ah Yuan and Ah Bu.
Ah Yuan is pliable and self-controlled, and Ab is stubborn.
The personalities of these two children are so different, but somehow, Elder Mo was quiet in the affairs of the palace, and his heart, which had not been turbulent for decades, actually moved faintly.
This may be the so-called fate!
Today is the most important day since the child entered the palace. Although there are various news delivered to him from time to time in the newcomer area and the Wenjing area, although Abu has not been in the palace for a long time, the evaluation is excellent, but if he doesn't come to see it in person, how can he really put his mind at ease?
"Old Mo, is this the child you fancy this time?" The middle-aged man beside Elder Mo, who was originally sitting lazily and looking extremely bored, followed Elder Mo's line of sight and caught a glimpse of the back of the young man who turned around at the entrance of the hall, and suddenly became interested, straightened up and asked.
Elder Mo smiled and stroked his beard and nodded.
The middle-aged man knew that the person next to him was in charge of the promotion of the palace and other matters, and if he could enter his eyes, this child must be really good. He stroked his smooth jaw and said, "This child is so young, he can be blinded by Brother Mo's blue eyes, he must be a good seedling." ”
Elder Mo stroked his beard and said nothing.
He never valued qualifications.
If he wants to accept the mantle disciple, because of his feelings, few people will really fight with him.
He came this time, in fact, just to see.
After all, Abu's training time in the Wenjing District was not long, and Elder Mo knew in his heart that for the sake of Ayuan, Abu was afraid that he would spend more time on the cultivation of the Qi Condensation Scroll, blindly seeking speed, and it was really hard to say how far this martial art had become.
He shook his head.
If others don't want it, then do it yourself!
Not to mention that with Abu's qualifications, this is by no means a loss-making deal. It's Ab Zhen who is an idiot in martial arts, so stupid that people and gods are angry, so he is angry at his heart, even if he is ridiculed, he also accepts this disciple!
