Chapter 14: The Rite of Apprenticeship

Remembering and thanking the head of Xuanyuan, he went out with Yueming. I saw that outside the Taoist house, the scarlet spirit and the young man were still fighting.

The little disciple walked in and listened to the instructions of Daoist Xuanyuan, came out to them, and took them to the guest room to check in.

"Scarlet Spirit, stop fighting!"

Xun Nian shouted, "Beat me again and take your sister Yueming to my room." ”

This trick really worked, and in the blink of an eye, the scarlet spirit had already arrived at Yueming's side, and grabbed her: "She wants to live with me." ”

The little disciple said, "The head of the sect commands, the scarlet girl will stay here tonight, and return to the Taiqing Palace tomorrow." ”

"Good! But I'm going to share a room with Sister Yue. ”

After speaking, the scarlet spirit pulled Yueming and left.

Xun Nian and the young man looked at each other, and found that the other party's face was also helpless.

Xun Nian said: "There are many offenses, and I am looking for them." ”

The young man smiled uninhibitedly: "Under Xuanxi." ”

On the second day, Xun Nian had informed Scarlet Ling of his and Yueming's decision to stay in Mingxia Palace.

Although the scarlet spirit was reluctant to give up on Yueming, he actually obediently went back to the Taiqing Palace to return to Changming.

This made Xun Nian wonder if it was true, and he was ready to cry and make trouble and beat people.

It is said that it is not the right time to find a memory, the time limit for accepting disciples this year has passed, and the new disciples have all carried out a collective apprenticeship ceremony, but Xuanyuan Daoist has already instructed him to go down and choose a day to perform a separate apprenticeship ceremony for Xunnian.

The sky is clear, and the sky is clear with cirrus clouds.

The flat cliff in front of the Mingxia Palace is like a platform, from this point of view the sea, the sky is vast, looking down on the cliff, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, here you can see the beautiful scenery of Laoshan Mountain "Mingxia scattered"

Today, people from the Jinshan sect gather here, lively but strict, because this is the disciple's apprenticeship ceremony and the entrance ceremony.

Looking for a gray shirt embroidered with gold, his elegant and clean face is radiant.

The head of the Ding opened the altar in front of the Ding, and inserted the incense into the Ding, and said the oath of joining the faction.

Inserting incense into the Ding has the meaning of nine words, expressing a firm oath, once entering the Jinshan faction, never change the teacher.

Then I first worship the patriarch Ziyang Zhenren, and then worship the head and elders of the seat.

Then comes the most important moment.

Among the senior brothers and uncles, someone will get up and walk in front of Xunnian, and the person who should get up will be Xunnian's master.

Although the candidates were selected after deliberation among the elders and had already been predetermined, it was still a kind of suspense for Xun Nian at this moment.

Xun Nian knelt on the ground, his head bowed, and his palms clenched into fists were sweaty.

At this moment, Yueming was watching from a distance, she couldn't become a disciple of the Jinshan Sect, she couldn't be in the same column as those disciples, so she had to watch Xun Nian from a distance, Ah Piao had been following her, and she glanced at Xun Nian, who was slightly tense because of nervousness.

One person stepped forward, the gray shirt moved lightly, and he saw a pair of black shoes come into view.

He looked up and saw a handsome face, with the same playful smile on his young and uninhibited face, even in this stern situation.

I was stunned for a moment, obviously I didn't expect it to be him.

"I, Xuanxi, accept Xun Xun as the first disciple of the sect today, give the name Xuanjing, and wish the disciple six roots to be pure, concentrate on cultivation, abandon obsession, and finally achieve positive results."

Xuan Xi's clear voice sounded, which made people feel refreshed, although the tone was strict, but because of the clear timbre, it was not lifeless, and there was no dull feeling at all.

"Disciple thanked Master."

Thank you.

What followed was the routine master's precepts and door rules announcements, which were nothing more than words about educating apprentices to respect the ancestors, abide by the rules, be innocent, and be diligent in cultivation.

Yueming didn't understand, yawned, and turned away.

Not only are the listeners bored, but so are the speakers.

Xuanxi's own personality is not suitable for this job, and he felt annoyed without saying a few words, so he hastily ended it.

At the end of the apprenticeship, the disciples dispersed, and Xun Nian is now one of these disciples.

It's just that his master is so young, and according to his observation, that temperament is not like a person who is a steady master, and it seems that he will be busy in the future.

Xuan Xi walked on the road of Mingxia Palace, yawning, since he came back, he was bored, if he didn't obey the orders of the master, he was only afraid that he was still wandering now.

Although the surroundings are full of beautiful scenery, and the nearby boxwood, magnolia, crape myrtle and other trees are also century-old trees, he has no intention of appreciating them.

Suddenly, Xuan Xi found that the tree was trembling when passing by a crape myrtle tree, and when he raised his head, he saw the tall and verdant crape myrtle tree beside him, the thick trunk of the tree has been stretching upward, and a figure can be faintly seen between the layers of green leaves, and he really can't find it if he doesn't look carefully.

It's funny, if someone dares to climb such a tall tree, I'm going to go up and have a look.

Xuan Xi lifted his breath, and ran to the ancient tree with his toes on the trunk.

I saw a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old bending her waist and carefully putting a small green bird's egg into the nest.

"Bold Boy! Dare to climb the ancient trees in the palace and steal birds' eggs! ”

Xuan Xi deliberately shouted.

Faced with the magnified face that suddenly appeared, Yueming fell back in fright, and Xuan Xuan's eyes quickly grabbed her.

It's kind of a scare.

The lilac crape myrtle flowers are clustered at the tips of the branches, the breeze is fluttering, his face is fresh and handsome, his pure black eyes have a hint of sly light, and the playful smile still stays at the corners of his mouth.

There was a faint musky scent coming from his body, and the breath lingered on the tip of his nose.

Xuan Xi didn't resist when she saw this girl, she just looked at him blankly, thinking that she was really stupid and cute.

"Oh, it's you, I know you!"

Xuan Xi pretended to be surprised and shouted.

“……”

Yueming felt that this person was a little familiar, and Ah Piao next to him seemed uneasy.

Yueming remembered that he was the one who was going to catch Ah Piao that day, so she immediately pushed him away.

Xuan Xi was almost pushed down by her, and hurriedly said: "I saved you just now, you can't take revenge now!" ”

Yueming couldn't figure out what he was talking about, and seeing that she looked unclear, Xuanxi took the opportunity to say, "Since we know each other, they are good friends." ”

“……”

Yueming doesn't know much about what a good friend relationship is.

"That's right, as long as you say it's my good friend, no matter what bad things you do, I'll protect you, I'll help you, I'll play with you."

Xuan Xi squinted his eyes and smiled, "Then we will make up our minds, we can't change!" ”

"Good friend, I know your name is Yueming, Yueming...... Then I'll call it Xingxi, the moon and the stars are rare, remember. ”

Yueming nodded stupidly.

Xuan Xi snickered in his heart, this doll is too easy to deceive, it's really interesting.

At this moment, a birdsong broke through the air, piercing through the layers of green leaves.

In the blink of an eye, a thrush appeared, and Xuan Xi suddenly felt bad.

Xuanjing's little junior brother was not as busy as he imagined, but very idle, he just got a book of mental methods that he didn't know what to do, and recited it every day according to the master's requirements, and other than that, he did some chores that new disciples had to do, and nothing else.

Xuan Jing was strange, his master disappeared all day, and other uncles and uncles would talk to him on the road, and when he talked about Xuan Xi, Xuan Jing knew that his master had always been like this, and it was difficult to find a trace.

Xuanjing returned to the Taoist house and cleaned the room as usual.

At this time, a disciple came in and said that the head of the sect had summoned him.

"Bringing you under the Xuanxi Sect is what our elders have discussed and considered. Although he seems to be playful and indulgent, he does have the ability. ”

The head sighed and said.

"The disciple has nothing to worry about, and the head of the sect doesn't have to worry about it."

Xuanjing Dao.

"I know, I know,"

The head of Xuanyuan said, "Xuanxi has been practicing in Mingxia Palace since he was a child, and he went down the mountain to travel and practice at the age of sixteen, and he has been back for two years. He can be regarded as a person with practical learning, and he may have a different way of teaching, so you have to study hard. ”

"Yes, disciple keep it in mind."

Xuan Jing was silent for a moment, "The disciple has something to ask for. ”

"The disciple was taken in by the master, and I am very grateful, but I dare not forget the trust of others, and the moon that came with me is ...... Is there a way for the boss to help her open the roots? ”
