Chapter 27: The Greeting Ceremony
"Zheng. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.infoγγγγγ With a sound of metal trembling, a golden light rushed straight into the sky, plating the entire Guantian Peak with a layer of gold, which did not disperse for a long time.
A majestic stone hall on the top of the peak is built facing the east, the stones used in the construction are of different colors, there are no less than 100 kinds, some are red like fire, some are emerald green like bamboo, some are white like milk, and some are pitch black like inkγγγγγγ The stones of various colors, combined with each other, are put together to form a huge picture:
The sky is like an arch, and the ground is like a chessboard.
The mountains and forests are lofty, and the beasts are revealed.
Fields on the water, fishing woods farming.
Between the sea of clouds and fog, the birds are singing.
γγγγγγ
In front of the main hall stood a man, standing with his hands in his hands, looking at a slightly lower mountain in the distance, as if waiting for something.
In the main hall, a group of ordinary disciples wore uniform pale gold silk robes and stood on both sides. Yun Shan was also standing among these people, and his coarse linen clothes were particularly abrupt.
At this time, everyone's eyes fell on the man at the door, and their eyes were full of awe.
"Senior Brother Shen! Take back your golden sword! You don't have to make such a big move. If you linger a little longer, those two of my apprentices will switch to yours!" A slightly chubby, round-faced young man whispered to the man at the door, shaking his head as he watched the man and woman in the crowd staring at the golden flying sword in the air like a fool.
As Shen Boluan beckoned, the flying sword with golden light in the air immediately dissipated, shrunk, and shot back into Shen Boluan's waist without a trace.
"Do you know why Senior Brother Gu didn't come for a long time?" Shen Boluan withdrew the flying sword and asked the round-faced young man beside him.
"Senior brother, he may be alchemizing pills and can't pull out, but senior brother rest assured, even if the junior brother is not present this time, he will have to make up for the gift, if he doesn't pay the bill, I, Zhao Yun, promise that he will never want to get a herb from the medicine garden in the future."
As soon as the words fell.
I saw a thin old man, carrying four disciples with a flying sword, shooting from a distance. The golden flying sword under his feet was mottled with a patch of fast gray and black, which looked a little ugly, and in a few flashes, it had already arrived in front of the two and landed.
"Haha... Senior brother accepts apprentices, why can't I be there? I don't dare to say anything else, but I never owe it to the apprentices. The thin old man obviously heard the conversation between the two just now, and said with a smile.
"Humph! Senior Brother Gu, you have a good calculation in your heart! Of course you will say that you have the most apprentices and the most gifts among the three of us. Zhao Yuncai said sarcastically with a feigned anger.
Seeing that his old bottom was exposed, Gu Xinhe was embarrassed and said generously: "Hehe... Let's not be so clear between our senior brothers, when I finish refining Pei Yuan Dan, I will definitely give a few more to the two senior brothers. After saying that, he took his four disciples into the temple.
Zhao Yuncai and Shen Boluan glanced at each other tacitly, and at the same time pursed their lips, not believing Gu Xinhe's nonsense about Pei Yuandan at all.
In the main hall, Zhao Yuncai and Gu Xinhe sat separately on both sides, their respective disciples standing beside them, and behind them stood the ordinary disciples of the Golden Sword Sect.
Shen Boluan took Yun Shan to the crowd and said loudly: "Now that the head of the sect is in retreat, I will preside over this entrance ceremony. My Golden Sword Sect is now short of resources and few disciples, so let's keep these many links simple. From today onwards, Yun Shan will become my disciple, and there are only three rules in my Golden Sword Sect, the first is to respect the teacher, the second is to prohibit cannibalism with the same sect, and the third is not allowed to do things that harm the interests of the sect. Are you willing to obey Yunshan? β
"The disciple is willing to comply!" After hearing these three, Yun Shan felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he immediately agreed.
"Good!"
After Shen Boluan said the word "good", he flipped his palm and took out a small leather bag. With a somewhat unnatural expression, he handed it to Yun Shan and continued: "These are ten essence stones, which are a gift for the teacher, and it will be helpful for the cultivation in the future. β
"Thank you, Master!" Yun Shan was no stranger to the Essence Qi Stone, and took the bag and thanked him.
"This is your second uncle Zhao Yuncai, come and see you!" Shen Boluan pointed to the young man with a round face and a slight chubby face.
"Meet Uncle Zhao!" Yun Shan immediately bowed and saluted.
"Well, the nephew is exempt, this is a small storage bag, worth eight fine stones, I hope the nephew will not dislike it." Zhao Yuncai's face was slightly red, and he took out a shabby storage bag and handed it to Yunshan Dao.
"Uncle Xie!" Although Yun Shan wondered why Master and Uncle Zhao had such strange expressions, he heard that it was a storage bag, so he took it excitedly.
"This is your third uncle, Gu Xinhe." Shen Boluan introduced the thin old man to Yun Shan again.
"Meet Uncle Gu!" Yun Shan also stepped forward and bowed.
"Here's one ... Oh... These are two Qi Gathering Pills, worth eight Essence Qi Stones. It is suitable for taking during the Qi training period, and has the effect of broadening the meridians and condensing the essence of Qi. However, you can only take one pill at a time, and you can continue to take the next one after three months, as a gift to your nephew. Gu Xinhe originally took out a Qi Gathering Pill, but when he saw Shen Boluan and Zhao Yuncai's angry eyes, he gritted his teeth and took out another one.
"Thank you, Uncle Gu!" Yun Shan had never seen the elixir before, and happily took the two jade bottles. The stopper of a bottle was opened, and a strange medicinal fragrance came to the nose, and after inhaling, he suddenly felt a burst of coolness, and his whole body was comfortable, so he hurriedly covered the plug and put it away carefully.
"Alright, the entrance ceremony is over, let's go back to the mountain!"
As Shen Boluan announced aloud, many ordinary disciples in the hall left.
Of these ordinary disciples, a few of them were cultivators in the foundation building period, and most of them were cultivating qi like Yunshan. On the peaks of the Golden Sword Gate, there are many houses built by the predecessors for ordinary disciples to live in, and of course, they can also be rebuilt by themselves.
Shen Boluan, Zhao Yuncai, and Gu Xinhe, as the three great Jindan masters of the Golden Sword Sect, would take turns to preach for these ordinary disciples in the Guantian Peak Hall once a month, and the rest of the time, it was all up to them to cultivate.
As for the disciples like Yun Shan, they can follow the master and be personally guided by the master in their cultivation, and the most important thing is that these disciples are quite favored by the master and can often learn some more profound Fa decisions.
After the many ordinary disciples dispersed, only Shen, Zhao, and Gu and their in-house disciples were left in the hall.
Shen Boluan looked at these young disciples and said to Yun Shan: "Yun Shan, you stay here and get to know your senior brothers and sisters, and when you are done, you will go back to Zhuhai Peak to find me." After saying that, he walked out of the main hall and rode away.
Gu Xinhe's four disciples, three men and one woman, were very happy when they heard Shen Boluan's words, and they wanted to step forward to greet Yunshan.
Who knew that before they could speak, their master's voice sounded behind them: "It's a long time coming, what is there to know!" Come back with me to refine medicine! β
The four of them had no choice but to follow Gu Xinhe with a bitter face and left.
Zhao Yuncai saw that this junior brother's obsession with alchemy had reached the extreme, and he couldn't help but say to the two disciples: "You two can talk to the junior brother here, don't be in a hurry to go back." β
"Yes! Master! The man and the woman replied in unison.
After Zhao Yuncai left, Yun Shan first stepped forward and saluted: "Yun Shan has seen Senior Brother!" Masters! β
"My name is Ye Xiaoran, little junior brother doesn't have to be polite!"
The woman's hair was also coiled up high like the male disciple, and a simple hosta was inserted diagonally, a few years older than Yun Shan, with curved willow eyebrows and soft lip line, she was very approachable, and she introduced herself to Yun Shan with a smile.
"My name is Guo Guiyi, junior brother Yunshan has just come to the Golden Sword Gate, and I am not familiar with the situation in the door, Senior Sister Xiaoran! Take your little brother and sister around for a visit! Oops! The medicinal power of the Yellow Bud Pill I ate a few days ago has flare up again, and I have to refine it quickly. β
After saying that, he covered his stomach and hurriedly ran out.
"Little junior brother, then I'll take you for a walk! Let's go to the most famous Shi Yufeng in Jinjianmen first... β
Before the word "He" was spoken, Ye Xiaoran's face suddenly changed, and he slapped his jade hand, "Oops!" "A bang.
Then he also ran towards the outside of the hall, and as he ran, he shouted, "Senior sister has something important to do now, and junior brother is leaving!" "As soon as I left the temple gate, I rose in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, I was gone.
Yun Shan didn't know what the hell these two were doing when they left one after the other. looked at the empty hall around him, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then also walked out of the hall gate and walked towards his residence, Zhuhai Peak.
Although he can't fly in the sky, dozens of miles of mountain roads are nothing to Yunshan, and he exerts force under his feet, and his figure disappears into the mountains and forests in a few flashes.
γγγγγγ
There is no real bamboo sea on the Zhuhai Peak, but there is a small bamboo forest on the top of the peak, and there is a small clearing in the bamboo forest, and there are three stone houses built on the clearing, and the stone houses are made of many emerald green stones. I don't know how many years this stone house has existed, but the cracks of the vicissitudes of life have been born on the stones, like a complex and intertwined bamboo branches, which are perfectly and naturally integrated with the surrounding bamboo forest.
Yun Shan returned to the peak, stood still outside the door of the stone house in the middle, bowed and saluted: "Master! The disciple is back. β
"Come in!" Shen Boluan's clear voice came out through the bamboo door.
Yunshan pushed open the bamboo door and walked into the stone house, the layout of the house is very simple, only a stone **, a stone table, and two bamboo chairs.
Shen Boluan was sitting at the stone table, and when he saw Yun Shan coming in, he pointed to another chair next to the stone table and said, "Sit down" Then he flipped his palm and took out a pot of tea and two tea bowls. Poured a full bowl for himself, and poured another bowl for Yunshan. continued: "This is the hundred-year-old bitter ginseng tea from the peak of the elixir in our door, and it is brewed with the 10,000-year-old snow water of Zixiao Pavilion, come and taste it!" β
Yun Shan was not pretentious, and sat opposite Shen Boluan. Picking up the tea bowl and drinking it slowly, the tea was extremely bitter in the mouth, and at the same time exuded a biting coldness, Yun Shan had to mobilize the essence in his body to resist. However, as soon as this bitter and icy qi came into contact with the essence in the body, it was assimilated and absorbed like a river entering the sea, and the essence in the body seemed to be condensed a little, and as the cold dissipated, the bitterness weakened, and the mouth gradually gave birth to a sweet and cold feeling.
Yun Shan looked at Shen Boluan while sipping tea, although it had been a few days since he arrived at the Golden Sword Gate, this was the first time he had observed this master at such a close distance.
At this time, Shen Boluan's eyes no longer had that kind of compelling gaze, completely like an ordinary middle-aged uncle, although his hair was black, the subtle wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and face, as well as the bitterness and helplessness faintly revealed between his smiles, all gave people an indescribable sense of vicissitudes.
"How does it feel?" Shen Boluan didn't care about Yun Shan's gaze, but asked with a smile while drinking tea.
