Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the mute's body has healed. Senior Sister Ling'er said to Senior Brother Xuanfeng: "Senior Brother Xuanfeng, Senior Sister instructed to take a dumb person to take a bath and take care of his hair, this is the entry disciple uniform of this sect, let him change into it after taking care of it, and officially get him ordained at three o'clock in the afternoon today." With that, he turned around and left.

Xuan Feng rushed over to the mute and said, "Senior brother, today you can officially be ordained, and someone will finally call me senior brother in the future!" After he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something, and his mood suddenly dropped, and he said to himself: "Ahem, I finally received a junior brother, but it was a mute who couldn't speak!" Why is my life so miserable? ”

Although the wolf cub can't speak, he is not deaf, so he can naturally hear the little brother's frustration. He patted Xuan Feng on the shoulder, and then spread his hands to show that he was helpless.

Xuan Feng said, "Let's go, I'll take you to take a bath!" Then he took the wolf cub and walked towards Gu Yingguan.

At noon, the rejuvenated wolf cub followed Xuan Feng to the Zhengyuguan Precept Academy.

Ordination is one of the major events of the sect, and all disciples who have nothing important at hand will come to observe the ceremony, one is to get to know the new disciples, and the other is to review the rules and precepts of the sect again.

When the wolf cub and Xuan Feng appeared in the ordination hall together, Senior Sister Ling'er's eyes suddenly lit up, is this still the ragged and unkempt mute? I saw that the young man in front of him was Xuanyu, his face was heroic, and at the same time he was a little wild, but his body was a little thinner. It's really a person who relies on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and even Senior Sister Ling'er couldn't help but praise: "The dumb junior brother is so beautiful!" ”

The brothers next to him also said in unison: "Yes! Oh, yes! It's just a pity to be a dumb person! ”

With a voice of "Senior Sister has arrived!" The cheers came, and the ordination hall, which was still chirping just now, suddenly fell silent. I saw that the senior sister Ling Ruoxue came suddenly, still looking as cold as frost.

When the senior sister stood in front of the portrait of the immortal Weng riding a green ox and the master Qingxu Dao leader Liu Xuanqing, the junior brothers and sisters shouted in unison: "I've seen the senior sister!" ”

Senior Sister Ling Ruoxue nodded slightly and motioned for everyone to sit down. When she looked at the wolf cub, she couldn't hide her surprised expression, even if she didn't eat the fireworks in the world. But she immediately reverted to her iron-faced ruthlessness. I only heard her say softly: "Kneel!" ”

Senior Brother Xuanfeng hurriedly knelt the wolf cub in front of the portrait of Master Liu Xuanqing. The wolf cub looked at the elder with the bone fairy wind on the portrait at a loss, just looking at the portrait, he could feel a powerful majesty and aura, and the wolf cub was in awe in his heart.

Senior Sister Ling Ruoxue continued: "In order to carry forward this sect, according to the instructions of the master and his old man, all the world's talents who are interested in joining our sect, regardless of gender, regardless of age and inferiority, we are willing to welcome and accept them in a state of embracing all rivers. Since the master has been traveling all the year round, and the senior brother has also gone out to collect style, today I will preside over the initiation ordination ceremony of the new disciple mute, and we will face the master and his old man's honorable immortal face and thank you, hoping that my ancestor Taishang Wuji Zhenjun will have a spirit in the sky, and bless me with the great blessings of the Xuanqi Sect, which has a long history. ”

"Now the ordination ceremony begins, and all the disciples prostrate three times!"

After the senior sister finished speaking, she took three steps back and knelt down in front of the statue of the ancestor and the master, and all the disciples present also knelt down and kowtowed three times.

After the ceremony, Ling Ruoxue continued: "The first item of the ceremony is to recite the precepts of the ancestors. ”

All the disciples chanted in unison: "The Tao is very Tao, and the name is very famous......

"The second part of the ritual is to bless the Ten Precepts."

Xuan Feng hurriedly reminded the wolf cub what to do. When ready, the senior sister recited the ten precepts one by one:

"Article 1: No unwarranted killing, is it permissible?"

The wolf cub nodded firmly, and Xuan Feng replied on his behalf, "Yes!" Then let the wolf cub kneel deeply in front of the statue of the grandfather.

"Article 2: *** women are not allowed, can it be sustained?"

"Sustainable!"

"Article 3: It is not allowed to disobey the elders, can it be sustained?"

"Sustainable!"

"Article 4: It is not allowed to insult the teacher, can it be sustained?"

"Sustainable!"

......

"The third item of the ceremony is to bestow three holy waters and bestow the belt of the main gate."

After the ordination ceremony, the dumb man knelt down and thanked the ancestor and the master for hanging the statue, thanked the senior sister, and tied the special belt of the door, which looked more heroic and sassy, and the jade tree was in the wind.

Looking at the dignified mute junior brother, the senior sister was very satisfied, but she still showed that cold look, and said: "Dumb junior brother, from now on you will be an official disciple of our Xuanyi Sect, I hope you will remember the precepts of the master, study hard, practice hard, and don't live up to the master's old man's entrustment!" Since you don't have a name, let's call you dumb junior brother for the time being, and when Master and his old man come back, we will ask him to give you a Taoist name. ”

When everyone dispersed, Ling'er followed closely behind the senior sister, and when she saw that there was no one around, she said to the senior sister: "Master, his old man is really like a god, this dumb junior brother is really extraordinary, and he is a little handsome, but it's a pity, he is a dumb!" ”

Senior Sister glanced at Ling'er and said solemnly: "As long as you talk a lot, what is this, Master, his old man, you don't know how many things you have!" ”

Ling'er grimaced and hurriedly covered her lips with her hands.

Senior Sister asked softly, "Ling'er, have you seen Senior Brother today?" ”

Ling'er said: "When I went down the mountain in the early morning, I saw that I was crazy again, and I must have gone to drink wine and indulge in the mountains and rivers again!" ”

Senior Sister sighed slightly. The two junior brothers passed by and greeted the senior sister and Ling'er. The senior sister immediately returned to her cold appearance.

Like other new disciples, the mute also participates in two lessons and one exercise every day, which is not only to memorize the precepts of the door, but also to practice hyphenation. When he was in the tribe, the wolf cub occasionally learned some words with Alina, and he also recognized some simple words, so he made rapid progress in learning hyphenation. The first exercise is mainly from the basic skills such as standing on the pile and pulling the horse, flexibility and tendons. The wolf cub is born with infinite strength, and this is not difficult for him.

The brothers and sisters saw that he was making rapid progress and liked it very much.

On this day, the dumb man was practicing standing on the pile, and the little senior brother Xuan Feng came to him in a hurry and said to him: "Senior brother, it's strange, the senior brother actually said that he wanted to see you, you should go to Tianzhu Peak, he asked me to inform you, he is waiting for you there!" ”

To tell the truth, the dumb man has only seen a senior brother once since he came to Xuanqimen, and that was when he was in the morning class a month ago, when the senior brother explained the poetry of the Tang Dynasty Sword Immortal Li Taibai to everyone. He also often heard his senior brothers and sisters say that the senior brother is a crazy person, and it seems that he must be mediocre in martial arts in addition to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs. Therefore, the influence of the senior brother on him is not very deep, and even the appearance of the senior brother is a little vague.

The dumb man muttered in his heart, "What will happen if Senior Brother asks me to go?" "Although the senior brother doesn't care about things, he is also a senior brother after all, and the dumb man is a smart person, so he naturally doesn't dare to slack off. So he hurriedly rushed to Tianzhu Peak with Senior Brother Xuanfeng.

About half an hour, they walked to the foot of Tianzhu Peak, and saw the senior brother facing the cliff, with his back to them, looking at the mountains in the distance.

Xuan Feng bowed his hand and said, "Senior brother, the dumb senior brother is here!" ”

The senior brother slowly turned around, smiled and said, "Okay! It's good to arrive" and then said to Xuan Feng: "Senior Brother Xuan Feng, there is nothing for you here, you go back first, I have something to say to the dumb junior brother." ”

Xuan Feng said goodbye to his senior brother and turned around and left Tianzhu Peak.

Senior Brother pointed to the stone bench next to him and said amiably, "Dumb Senior Brother, sit, this is the first time we have met, right?" ”

The mute thought to himself, "I saw you in the morning class, but I couldn't speak. He shook his head and raised a finger to gessy.

The elder brother understood that he meant to meet once. He saw that the dumb man was a little restrained, so he said, "Senior brother, you have been here for three months, right?" Don't be nervous, I'm not as strict as you Senior Sister Ling Ruoxue, just let it go! Sit! ”

The mute nodded and sat down with some trepidation. He stole a glance at the senior brother, who was looking at him with a smile. Only then did he realize that the senior brother was handsome and hearty, amiable, which was incompatible with the image of the bohemian and unruly people who admired the flowers and the moon.

The elder brother also sat down beside him and said, "Let me see your obsidian pendant!" ”

The dumb man took out the obsidian on his chest and handed it to the elder brother.

Senior Brother looked at it carefully for a while, and then returned the obsidian to the dumb man, he pondered for a while, and said, "It's time to teach you the martial arts of this sect, I will tell Senior Sister Ling another day, let her teach you the martial arts of this sect, now you can go back first!" ”

After the dumb man came back, he kept thinking about it, this senior brother called himself to Tianzhu Peak for no reason, and said some inexplicable things to himself, the key is that he said that let the senior sister teach him martial arts, which is too unreliable! Who is Senior Sister? How could she listen to the arrangement of this big brother who didn't care about anything? Therefore, the wolf cub did not take the words of the senior brother to heart at all.

In the evening, the senior brother came to the Lingxu Temple Tianxin Pavilion. He knocked softly on the door three times.

The door opened, and Ling'er poked her head out to take a look: "Yo! Big brother! What kind of fairy wind blew a distinguished guest like you? ”

Senior Brother smiled slightly, and said, "Ling'er, is Senior Sister Ling here?" ”

"Do you think that Senior Sister is here, do you still have Senior Sister in your mind?"

The senior brother said embarrassedly: "Ling'er, your mouth is just unforgiving!" I have something important to find Senior Sister Ling! ”

"Humph! What's important? Big brother will also have important matters? The sun is coming out of the west! ”

The senior brother was about to speak, but he saw that the senior sister had already arrived, and he feigned anger and said: "Ling'er, Hugh has to be rude to the senior brother!" Then he glanced at the senior brother gently and resentfully, and said softly: "Senior brother is here, sit in the house!" ”

Ling'er pouted, and shouted while stomping her feet: "Senior sister! "But I had to let the senior brother into the house.

After the senior brother came in, he sat down in front of him. The senior sister said: "Ling'er, go make a bowl of tea for the senior brother!" ”

The senior brother said: "No need, I have something to say with the senior sister!" Ling'er, go out for a while! ”

Ling'er looked at the senior sister with an inquiring gaze, and the senior sister motioned for her to go out.

Ling'er pouted, looking unwilling and reluctant. The senior sister glanced at her with stern eyes, she knew that the senior sister was not finished, so she had to walk out angrily.

Senior Brother Shangguan Wuwu looked at Senior Sister Ling Ruoxue, Ling Ruoxue changed her cold face from the past, her face flushed, and she lowered her head and asked, "What is Senior Brother looking for me?" This is the first time you've come to me! ”

The senior brother looked a little cramped and said, "Senior sister, I came today for the dumb thing!" ”

This was obviously not the answer Ling Ruoxue wanted, she said faintly, "Oh! ”

Senior Brother Shangguan said with a straight face: "Do you think the dumb man is the person the master is looking for?" ”

Ling Ruoxue said, "I thought you had forgotten Master's words!" I think it's him! ”

The senior brother said: "Senior sister, I am not hard-hearted, I know your intentions, but we cultivators, everything is important to cultivation, and we don't say anything else!" ”

Ling Ruoxue listened, her heart was mixed, she tried her best to control the tears that were about to fall, and said, "The falling flowers are intentionally ruthless, I know what to do, senior brother!" ”

In fact, the senior brother's heart has never felt good, it is all a creation to make people!

Sure enough, three days later, in the early morning, Senior Sister Ling'er came to the mute's dormitory and said to him, "Senior Brother Mute, after the morning class today, you can come to Tianzhu Peak, Senior Sister has something to look for you." ”

After the morning class, the dumb man came to Tianzhu Peak tremblingly, where Ling'er and Senior Sister were already waiting.

The mute stepped forward and gave a deep salute. Senior Sister said: "Dumb junior brother, from today onwards, you and Senior Sister Ling'er will practice the inner strength of this sect together!" ”

The dumb man is simply flattered, is the senior sister going to teach herself the martial arts of the Xuanjiamen? He hurriedly stepped forward to kneel.

The senior sister stopped him and said, "Between the brothers and sisters, you can salute, you don't have to kneel, only the juniors kneel to the elders." Then he said to Ling'er: "Senior Sister Ling'er, from today onwards, you are responsible for teaching the Dumb Senior Brother this martial arts. ”

Ling'er said: "Ling'er will definitely live up to the trust of the senior sister, and will definitely teach all the martial arts I know to the dumb junior brother!" ”

The senior sister nodded slightly, and drifted away like a gust of wind.

In the past three months, the basic skills of the mute have been very solid, and Ling'er directly taught him the internal strength and the qi control method, requiring the mute to memorize these mental methods well.

In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed, and under the careful guidance of Senior Sister Ling'er, the mute has learned to regulate pranayama and control qi, and the breath in his body is smooth, and Zhou Tian feels that he has already had the basic Ding Furnace structure of Xuanqi Sect practitioners.

In two months, it will be the Xuanqi Sect's triennial New Disciple Rating Competition. This is almost an opportunity for new disciples to determine whether they can become a true disciple of Xuanjiao. Because the disciples who get a good ranking in the competition can get the opportunity to practice the martial arts of the Xuanqi Sect. Those who enter the top ten will be directly taught by the senior sister and even the master himself, which has obvious significance for their level of martial arts attainment. As for other disciples with poor performance, they can only be led by senior brothers and sisters who are earlier than themselves, and for them, if they want to get the true inheritance of Xuanqimen, they will have to wait at least three years. This rule was established by the ancestor of Xuanjiamen, and it seems to be very unkind, but it is of great significance to the development of Xuanjiamen. Because only in this way can those disciples with excellent talents and qualifications or who are diligent and diligent enter the core disciples of the Xuanqi Sect. And those disciples with mediocre qualifications and talents, but who do not want to make progress, can only remain in the ranks of peripheral disciples. For the outer disciples, not only can they not get the true inheritance of Xuanyi, but they can only be reduced to the point of cooking on the fire, running errands, and guarding the door.

Therefore, for new disciples, the importance of this triennial rating contest can be imagined.

Although the senior brother has already told the senior sister to let her teach the dumb Xuanjiamen martial arts, the dumb has not yet been rated, and the senior sister cannot directly teach the dumb martial arts at the risk of violating the ancestral teachings of the master, so it can only be taught by the senior sister Ling'er.

Seeing that the day of the rating contest is approaching day by day, under Ling'er's unremitting teaching, the dumb Xuanjiamen martial arts have made great progress, but after all, he is only a newcomer who has been in the field for less than half a year, and compared with those senior brothers and sisters who have been in the field for two or three years, or even five or six years, the progress of the dumb is obviously insignificant, especially in swordsmanship.

Although the little senior brother Xuanfeng is young, for a newcomer like the mute, he is already an old man of the Xuanfeng Sect, and of course he knows the importance of the rating, so he chatters by the mute's side all day long. The mute, who had no concept of ratings, also began to pay attention to it, and even became a little nervous.
