Chapter 96 Heart-to-heart between master and apprentice

Xuan Chong walked to the offering table, his eyes were as sharp as electricity, and after scanning the audience, he cleared his throat and said, "In previous years, when the three generations of disciples received this moon cake, because they were too young, they never restrained them. Today, the head of my Wudang sect has changed, and the three generations of disciples have also been tested yesterday, and they can be regarded as official disciples. ”

"In the future, we old guys will withdraw from the daily affairs of the sect, and the disciples of Ziguang's generation will fully take over the affairs of the gang, and from today on, they will be a generation of disciples. Although Lin Zongcang Xing is young, he can be regarded as my second-generation disciple of Wudang, and from now on, I must learn to grow up and be orderly. ”

Everyone said yes.

Xuan Chong looked around the main hall, Zuihou's eyes fell on Chengguang's body, and said in a deep voice: "Between the next generation, the previous generation is the longest, everyone knows this; What I want to emphasize today is that among the same generation, the descendants of the head of the family are the longest, and the second is the order of entry. In the future, whether it is teaching or receiving things, it will be in this order, can you be clear? ”

Everyone said yes again. Xuan Chong's face softened slightly, and he said to Li Cangxing: "Cangxing, according to this order, you need to rank behind Lin Zong in everything in the future, can you do it?" ”

Li Cangxing's mind was blank, and he was still thinking about the lotus paste mooncake, but his mouth replied casually: "Everything is according to the master's orders." ”

"This is not the master's own orders, but the rules passed down by my Wudang ancestors, Wudang can stand in the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years, become the head of the famous and decent family, the first thing is that the young and old are orderly, everything can not break the rules, mess up the generations! Come, everyone now kowtows to Master Zu and swears. Xuan Chong finished speaking, turned around and knelt down in front of Zhang Sanfeng's portrait, and everyone in the hall also knelt down.

"Master Zu is above, disciple Xuan Chong, with all the disciples of Wudang here, all my Wudang disciples need to be chivalrous and righteous, self-cultivation, at all times need to remember that the elders and young are respectful and orderly, respect the teacher, and be polite to the senior brother, if you violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." Everyone followed Xuan Chong and repeated this oath.

After standing up, Xuan Chong glanced at Li Cangxing and said, "Cangxing, as the senior brother among the second-generation disciples, stepped forward to take the moon cake without the permission of the master today, and punished him according to the rules of the door, so as to respect and follow You, where is the law enforcement elder?" ”

Heishi, whose face was as heavy as water, stood up and said loudly, "The law enforcement elder is here. Li Cangxing, a second-generation disciple, has no respect for his superiors, and takes moon cakes without authorization, and he should be punished with disqualification to receive moon cakes today, and he will face the wall for three days tomorrow. Li Cangxing, are you unconvinced? ”

Li Cangxing felt a "boom" in his head, and a voice shouted in his heart: "weishenme, weishenme!" No one told me about this rule, so why should I be punished? I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced. ”

He was about to shout out his heart, but when he looked up at Heishi, he found Mu Lanxiang standing behind him, looking at him with tears in his eyes, and thought about it, it was better not to confront her father in public.

Li Cangxing couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart, and said: "The disciple knows his mistake, and he will be punished." After that, he retreated behind Chengguang, only to find that the master's hand was clenched tightly into a fist. Li Cangxing's vision gradually became a little blurred, and his nose began to be a little sour, but another voice in his heart said to himself: "Don't cry, don't cry." ”

Xuan Chong glanced at Chengguang with satisfaction, then looked at Xu Linzong, and suddenly regained his kindness from previous years, and said with a smile: "Come, Lin Zong, you will come to receive the moon cake first this year." ”

Xu Linzong glanced at Li Cangxing, only to see him biting his lip, standing behind Chengguang with his head down, his fists clenched, his whole body trembling slightly, and there were faint tears in his eyes.

Xu Linzong glanced at the tearful Mu Lanxiang again, hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and took the lotus paste mooncake without saying a word.

Li Cangxing stayed behind Chengguang like a clay carved wood sculpture, letting his juniors pass by him one by one, taking the moon cakes and then retreating, but he was motionless, and everything that happened in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

After the punishment was announced by Blackstone, the atmosphere was terrible, and no one took the initiative to speak. I don't know when everyone finished receiving the moon cakes and left the hall one by one, if it wasn't for Chengguang pulling Li Cang to walk, I don't know how long he would have to stand there alone.

After returning from the main hall, Li Cangxing did not go back to the disciple's room, but went directly to the Siguo Cliff in the back mountain, the mountain road is rugged, and he has not yet learned the light skills such as the Nine Palace Bagua Step and the Tiyun Zong, but with the sadness and indignation in his heart that is about to burst out of his chest at any time, he climbed the back mountain all night, and finally climbed the Siguo Cliff at dawn.

Li Cangxing has never suffered this kind of grievance since he was a child, he can't have a seizure in a place where there are people, and now that there is no one around, tears are like a flood that has opened the floodgates, and he finally can't help crying loudly.

After crying for a long time, Li Cangxing found that Chengguang was standing behind him, his face was solemn, and there were faint tears in his eyes.

Li Cangxing wiped away his tears, stood up, bowed his head and said "Master", bowed his head and said nothing, but the tears in his eyes slipped down uncontrollably.

Chengguang stared at Li Cangxing's face for a long time, and suddenly took him into his arms, and said in a trembling voice: "Good boy, if you have any grievances, you will cry, and the master will not laugh at you." ”

Li Cangxing's already somewhat calm emotions lost control again, "wow", crying, he has no father and mother since he was a child, and in his heart Chengguang is his biological father and mother, and the thousands of grievances in his heart also flowed with tears.

Li Cangxing cried and said: "Master, Master Weishenme wants to punish me like this, didn't you always take it yourself in previous years, without telling everyone in advance, but only punishing me one, I don't accept it, I don't accept it." Chengguang just patted him lightly on the back and didn't say a word.

After a long time, Li Cangxing finally calmed down, sat up straight, no longer crying, but was in a daze.

Chengguang looked at him for a long time, sighed, took out a sweat towel to help him wipe away the tears on his little face, and said, "Cangxing, in your heart, what is Wudang?" ”

Li Cangxing instinctively replied, "Wudang? Wudang is the home of the disciples. ”

Chengguang nodded: "Then as a family, do you want to have a rule?" ”

Li Cangxing replied without thinking this time: "Yes." ”

Chengguang gently touched Li Cangxing's head, with a look of kindness: "Today, the master punished you, the fault is not you, but the master wants to use this matter to announce that Wudang is up and down, and in the future, it must be orderly." If your Ziguang master is the head, Xu Linzong will be the future leader, you don't have to fight with him on this point, otherwise you will break the rules of Wudang. ”

Li Cangxing suddenly became a little excited, and his face was swollen red: "I didn't want to fight with Senior Brother Xu, but today I just took moon cakes." And no one told me about this beforehand, in previous years, everyone took their own thing, why should they punish me like this in public? In the future, how can I hold my head up in front of my juniors and disciples! ”
