Chapter 185: Invitation
He Lang and Zhan Zhaohua finished freshening up early in the morning, wearing cyan Taoist robes, stepping on cloud shoes, and their hair tied up with wooden hairpins, and appeared outside the gate of the Jade Immortal Peak Disciple Hall in the dress of a standard Taoist disciple.
He Lang is also the first time to appear in front of people in the dress of an orthodox Taoist, he worshiped the immortal gate for just half a day, he suffered an accident, the cultivation life of a real Taoist, he has not experienced a day, his cultivation is for himself to comprehend, now, he is full of expectations for the future life of a monk.
After entering the main hall, he found that there were already more than twenty people standing inside, all of whom were young people dressed similarly to himself, most of whom were men and only five women.
It turns out that these are all new disciples who are going to initiate today, and they will perform the initiation together.
After that, more than 20 people, including He Lang, knelt on the futon with high incense in their hands, worshiped heaven and earth and the Jade Immortal Monarch respectively, and finally swore a joint oath to strengthen the Jade Immortal Gate.
"The emperor is above, the earth is below, we will join the Yuxian Gate from today, and we will contribute our whole life to the development of the sect, abide by all the laws in the door, and take it as our responsibility to benefit the common people in the world, and swear a swear, He Lang!"
It was the first time He Lang participated in such a ceremony, and he also attached great importance to it, and he carefully followed the master of the disciple hall to recite the oath, not squinting from beginning to end, and looking straight ahead with his eyes in a regular manner.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got up and put Gao Xiang in the incense burner, he found that Zhan Zhaohua was eyebrow-raising with an extremely handsome female disciple.
He Lang frowned, and wanted to remind the other party to pay attention to the occasion, but it was inconvenient to make a big move.
The whole ceremony was only two cups of tea, and after the ceremony, all the disciples lined up and walked out of the disciples' hall.
"Second brother, when you swore just now, you were too indecent, and you were seen by Hall Master Liu. ”
He Lang couldn't help complaining about Zhan Zhaohua.
"He Lang, don't you know, the reason why I was close to that woman just now is because I have some familiarity with her, but I can't remember where I saw her before. Zhan Zhaohua couldn't stop pondering as he walked.
"Even if you have seen it, you shouldn't flirt with her on that occasion!" He Lang said in a tone that hated iron and steel.
"Do I have it? It's just a few more glances!" Zhan Zhaohua said disapprovingly.
"But seriously, that woman does look a little good. He Lang thought as he spoke.
"Are you just a hypocrisy! Are you embarrassed to say me?" Zhan Zhaohua finally caught He Lang's handle.
The two of them kept smiling wickedly as they walked.
After returning to Qingxu Peak, Sun Tao gathered more than 200 brothers and sisters on the peak to gather in the Chuangong Hall.
He Lang and Zhan Zhaohua stood at the front of everyone, waiting for the first lecture from the peak master since the entrance.
Sun Tao looked at all the disciples of Qingxuan Peak, coughed lightly and began to speak, he said in a loud voice: "Gather everyone together today, there are three things to say, one is to urge you to practice enlightenment more diligently, you must not relax yourself, you must participate in the daily preaching class, and you must not slack off in the preaching class. ”
After hearing this, everyone said in unison: "Yes, Peak Master!"
Sun Tao continued: "The second thing is that the inner disciples will participate in the grand event in ten days, and I also have ten places in Qingxu Peak, and everyone will have to cheer for the disciples of this peak at that time." ”
Everyone responded in unison.
"The third thing, I have added two new disciples, one is Zhan Zhaohua and the other is He Lang, everyone should be no stranger to them, and they will cultivate together in the future, and they must get along well and not be excluded. “
He Lang and Zhan Zhaohua also turned around and clasped their fists with more than 200 disciples in the peak behind them, both of whom were smiling all over their faces.
Among these disciples, most of them knew Zhan Zhaohua, but few of them had seen He Lang, especially the female disciples, after seeing He Lang, their little hearts were beating wildly.
Zhan Zhaohua's cultivation has always been one of the best among the disciples of Qingxu Peak, and now no one can surpass him, so all the disciples still affectionately call him Senior Brother Zhan.
And He Lang's cultivation is relatively low, and no matter whether he is older or younger than him, the disciples call him Senior Brother He.
Zhan Zhaohua was of course very happy, and he had the pride of being admired by a group of junior brothers and sisters, but He Lang was relatively depressed, he saw that among these disciples, the fourteen and five-year-old hairy children actually regarded themselves as junior disciples, and for a while they despised the practice of cultivating as a ranking in the Xianmen.
had no choice but to cultivate to a low level, so he had to nod and agree when others called him his junior brother.
After Sun Tao finished speaking, the disciples dispersed, and Zhan Zhaohua was called by him alone, ready to discuss some things in the lower peak with him.
At present, Qingxu Peak can be described as a withering talent, and its strength in Xianmen is the weakest peak, coupled with the accident three years ago, only the seventh uncle Sun Tao and the eighth uncle Liao Zhong are currently cultivated above the peak of the seventh uncle, and Liao Zhong is not yet on the peak, therefore, the return of Zhan Zhaohua can be regarded as a great help to Sun Tao.
Soon, Zhan Zhaohua was promoted to disciple supervision by Sun Tao, and disciple supervision is to cooperate with Sun Tao to manage the daily affairs of Qingxu Peak's disciples, such as cultivation or food, clothing, housing and transportation and other expenses, which were also in charge of Zhan Zhaohua before, just because after he left, there was no such capable disciple who could take on the heavy responsibility, and Sun Tao had always been responsible for it.
Compared to Zhan Zhaohua's spring breeze, He Lang is unknown, except for the peach blossom eyes that the female disciple threw at him, he can only be regarded as a new disciple who barely reaches the qualification to enter the peak on the peak, and he is determined to never be the bottom again.
Seeing that Zhan Zhaohua was called away by Sun Tao, he walked towards the residence by himself.
He Lang can also be regarded as stained with Zhan Zhaohua's light, and he is currently living with Zhan Zhaohua in the residence of a high-ranking disciple, located in the middle of the mountainside of Qingxu Peak.
The scenery here is pleasant in all seasons, the birds are singing and the flowers are refreshing, it is an ideal place to live and practice, and the area of the room here is much larger than that of ordinary disciples, and it is also a separate courtyard.
He Lang entered the courtyard along the stone steps of the mountain, and walked to his room.
The small courtyard is not big, but more than 80 square meters, but the yard is arranged very properly, there is a plane tree as thick as an adult's waist in the middle of the yard, the leaves are luxuriant, the heat is blocked from the canopy, there is a stone table under the tree, there are four stone benches around the side, after dinner, it is extremely pleasant to drink tea and talk here.
There are a total of three stone houses in the courtyard, he and Zhan Zhaohua live in one room, and the other is a bathroom.
Just as he closed his eyes and thought about how to improve his cultivation in the future, someone outside the courtyard knocked on the courtyard door, and at the same time, a man's voice came: "Excuse me, is Senior Brother He here?"
When He Lang heard this, he hurriedly stood up with a grunt, and replied loudly: "He Lang is here, who is it?"
"My name is Zhang Qian, I am on duty at the inner gate today, and Miss Pan Caiyun asked me to deliver a letter. "That's human.
He Lang hurriedly walked out of the room, went to open the courtyard door, and saw a white-robed man looking at him kindly, at first glance, He Lang inexplicably had a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this person.
As soon as Zhang Qian saw the courtyard door open, and then walked out of a handsome man with long hair and waist, he was stunned, and his eyes stopped on He Lang's face for a moment before he smiled: "Senior Brother He, this letter was handed over to me by Miss Pan, take a look." ”
As he spoke, Zhang Qian handed the letter to He Lang with both hands.
After He Lang received the letter, he bowed down to express his gratitude, and said politely: "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang, for your trouble, if it's convenient, please come in and have a cup of tea." ”
"No need, I'm on duty, and I have to go back as soon as possible, and I will invite Senior Brother He to sit with me when I have time another day. Zhang Qian always had a bright smile, and after handing the letter to He Lang, he turned around and left.
The inner gate is on duty, that is, guarding the inner gate, responsible for the task of transmitting sound and sending letters, and the person on duty is selected by the thirty-three peaks of the Yuxian Gate in turn, and there are twenty disciples on duty each time.
Every 20 days, a group of people on duty will be rotated, and the disciples who receive the task will not only not have to participate in the daily exercises, but will also receive a lot of benefits, so this position is a beautiful difference for the inner disciples.
After He Lang saw Zhang Qian leaving, he opened the letter and read it.
It turned out to be Pan Caiyun's letter, which said that Pan An's brothers and sisters had something to discuss with him, and asked him to meet him in the evening.
He Lang couldn't think of what the two of them wanted to see him, so he left a note for Zhan Zhaohua, changed into civilian clothes, and went out with his disciple's jade card.
When I walked to the inner door, I saw Zhang Qian again, and the other party greeted He Lang very warmly, He Lang always felt that Zhang Qian was very familiar, but he couldn't think of where the familiarity came from.
The Pan An siblings currently live in the outer gate, to be exact, in the place where the disciples' relatives live.
Since Pan Caiyun and her brother left the Arowana Clan swamp with He Lang, she has regarded it as a lifelong follower, and all she thinks about now is the scene of her first acquaintance with the other party, and she can't help blushing and heartbeat when she thinks of them.
But to her disappointment, as soon as she arrived in Dongbin City, He Lang left overnight and returned three days later, and on the second day, everyone rushed to the Upper Realm Jade Immortal Gate together.
It can be said that she and He Lang have not had the opportunity to be alone for so many days, so her heart has always been full of resentment.
And after arriving at the Jade Immortal Gate, because they could only appear as relatives, they were stopped outside the inner gate.
In the past few days, Pan Caiyun learned from other mouths that the inner disciple's life was extremely hard, and she couldn't even touch meat, so she discussed with her brother to make a good meal for He Lang and replenish his body, just taking the opportunity to shorten the distance between the two.
Under the soft grinding and hard bubbles of his sister, Pan An went to the market thousands of miles away to buy some wine and meat, and he had just returned.
Pan Caiyun has been busy in the small kitchen, frying and frying, although it is very hot and hard, but when he thinks of He Lang's smile on his face after seeing a table of delicious food, he is full of energy.
When He Lang entered the room of the Pan An brothers and sisters, he saw such a scene, the room was full of the fragrance of dishes, and there were more than a dozen plates of meat and vegetable dishes on the table.
When He Lang saw it, his saliva flowed uncontrollably, and he hurriedly wiped it with his hands, but he didn't expect the Pan An brothers and sisters to be so good to him.
"Childe, my brother and I specially made the dishes for you, I hope you like it. Pan Caiyun said with a smile.
Later, He Lang learned that Pan An spent a whole day buying these ingredients, and he couldn't help but be extremely grateful.
"Childe, sit down and taste it, my sister's skills are comparable to that of an imperial chef. As he spoke, he gave He Lang the middle seat.
"Brother Pan, Caiyun, you all sit down, it's so delicious, this duck meat is so tender. He Lang couldn't wait, and as soon as he sat down, he took a piece of duck meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
He ate a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of food, Pan Caiyun couldn't stop toasting him and cloth vegetables, while Pan An accompanied him, and the three of them talked and laughed until late at night.
