Five of the Nine Dreams (4)
The ceremony of the return of the national teacher to the Xuanhua faction was very large, and it completely satisfied the honor of the national teacher in the past few decades. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But after the lively and solemn ceremony, the outgoing national teacher only got an idle deacon position under the Lizong sect, and he had no real power to speak of.
There is nothing to mention about the outgoing national teacher, but the candidate for the successor has not yet been decided.
Several elders had the ambition to elect Ling Xuzi, but the head of the family strongly objected, saying that he did not agree to let Ling Xuzi be the national teacher of the floating world, and he was polluted with earthly turbidity.
The two sides were at a stalemate.
However, the court repeatedly urged the envoys who came to announce the decree to stay in the Xuanhua faction for several days, and they could not get the list to go back to their lives. The envoy was also very anxious.
The ministers are anxious, the elders are anxious, and Ling Fengzi has been anxious all day long since he was spied into his heart by Ling Xuzi, hoping that the master in charge can be persuaded by the other elders to let Ling Xuzi leave the Xuanhua Sect.
Among so many people, only Ling Xuzi was the only one who was leisurely and didn't bother about this at all. He still did whatever he had to do every day, but he spent more time reading the books than he spent practicing spells.
When others saw him, they all praised his good characterization, saying that he was light and breezy and had a dusty appearance.
It could only be seen by legato no more than five paces away from him, and it often took him a quarter of an hour, or more, to read a page.
In fact, he cares too. It's just that he's more hidden.
This night, the head of the house suddenly sent someone to summon Ling Xuzi to go to the room to talk, and Ling Xuzi entered the head of the room only to find that today's conversation was only with him, and no one else was present.
The head of the sect sat cross-legged on the futon, breathing and puffing in his cultivation, knowing that Ling Xuzi walked in, and he didn't make any move.
Ling Xuzi stood in front of the head with a respectful face and performed the etiquette of a disciple at him.
After he had saluted, the head of the house glanced at him slightly and said, "Sit down and talk." ”
This is a posture to promote a long talk.
Ling Xuzi obediently sat on the futon on the side, knelt down and looked at the master, and didn't ask him what he was calling him to do first.
There was silence in the room for a while, and then the head of the house spoke, and he said, "What have you been doing these two days?" ”
"As usual, practice spells." Ling Xuzi paused as he spoke, and then said, "In the past few afternoons and evenings, I have also read some of the classics of the library in the sect. ”
The head asked, "What classics have you read?" ”
Ling Xuzi reported all the books he had read in the past two days.
The head groaned, and suddenly asked him about the contents of the classics.
When Lian Yin heard the question from the master, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and he was very worried that Ling Xuzi would not be able to answer. After all, in the past two days, although he has flipped through many books, no matter how she looks at him, he is absent-mindedly flipping through them, and she doesn't know how much he remembers.
Just when she was worried about him, Ling Xuzi opened her mouth and unambiguously recited the content of the master's question.
Lian Yin looked at his side face, his eyebrows raised uncontrollably.
The head asked a few questions in a row, and Ling Xuzi answered them all without hesitation. When he finished answering the last question, a satisfied smile appeared on the boss's face.
After a very satisfied "um", the head said, "It seems that you have looked very carefully, very good." "In fact, in the past few days, what Ling Xuzi has done and what books he has read, the head of the family knows everything. At this time, he deliberately tested him, but he was afraid that he would be stunned because of the selection of the national teacher.
Now seeing that he is not disturbed by the complicated affairs around him, the head is naturally very happy.
Compared with the satisfaction on the face of the boss, Ling Xuzi was still expressionless as usual, even if he was praised, he didn't show a little bit of joy.
After a while, the head of the sect clicked to the point and asked Ling Xuzi: "In this world, there are people who seek fame and profit. If it were you, would you like to be a profiteer or a celebrity? ”
Ling Xuozi looked at the master, as if thinking, and said after a while, "What if you don't want to do both?" ”
The head of the sect smiled, and did not follow his words, but changed the topic and said, "As for your closed disciple, I have also accepted seven disciples." But among these seven people, you still like the most. Your senior brothers are not jealous of you or bullying you on weekdays, I know that. ”
Ling Xuzi lowered his gaze, at this time it was not suitable for him to echo, and he didn't want to say no against his will. The only thing that can be done is to remain silent.
"You're doing a great job." The head once again praised him without hesitation, "I didn't misunderstand you." ”
However, Ling Xuzi's praise for the head of the house was really about to reach the state of immunity, so he still looked calm.
"Ling Xuzi." After asking and asking, and boasting, the head finally called his name and asked him the most important question, "Do you want to be a high-ranking official in the world and enjoy a good job." I still want to be the head of this Xuanhua faction and shoulder the heavy responsibility of my Xuanhua faction. ”
Ling Xuzi's eyes when he looked at the head of the house this time were no longer bland.
The head of the sect could see that something was flashing in Ling Xuzi's eyes. Even Lian Yin, who was standing on the side, looked over and found the little light in his eyes.
If he hadn't already known Ling Xuzi's story, Lian Yin might have thought that that was Ling Xuzi's ideals and ambitions.
I don't know how long the quiet atmosphere has passed, when the head of the door asked him, Ling Xuzi has been silent and did not answer, and the head of the house did not urge him to answer.
It wasn't until a long time had passed that Ling Xuzi stood up and made another disciple's salute to the master.
Then he said, "The disciple will not disappoint the master. ”
The boss looked at him with a satisfied smile on his lips.
Still, he still has something to explain, "It's just that you're too young." It can be a bumpy road, but you're prepared. ”
"Disciple understands."
With Ling Xuzi's words, the head of the family can be regarded as reassuring. Then there was nothing else to say to him, and that was the end of the conversation for the night.
Ling Xuzi slowly exited the master's room, and after closing the door, he turned around, Ling Xuzi left the master's hospital with his head held high, and walked back to his room in the face of the night and the evening breeze.
The next day, the head of the sect announced to the disciples in the main hall that the candidate for the national teacher had been decided, and that person was the sect master of the Rite Sect.
The Xuanhua sect's rites are the same existence as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the contact with various sects and factions, and the contact with the imperial court are all through the people of the sect of rites, and now it is very appropriate to promote the sect leader of the sect of rites to the position of national teacher.
Everyone else had nothing to say, but the only thing they had was a question.
The Sect Master of the Rite Sect is appointed as the National Teacher, so who should be the Sect Master of the Rite Sect?
The head knew everyone's thoughts, and immediately announced the second news. From now on, the position of the suzerain of the Rite Sect will be held by Ling Xuzi.
The other sect masters, elders, and Ling Fengzi were all dumbfounded.
Only Ling Xuozi of the party concerned is still indifferent.
