Chapter 402: Ritual

Wednesday, October 2nd.

Zhou Yuqing's official entrance ceremony to Longhu Mountain was set at about three o'clock in the afternoon, but even so, she didn't have free time to play, but after breakfast early in the morning, she was dragged by Li Taiyi to prepare.

If it was just an ordinary apprenticeship, it might not be so grand, but Zhou Yuqing is now an apprenticeship of the next generation, once it is completed, the generation will directly jump a few levels and become the uncle of the disciples in the mountains.

In this way, the etiquette and rules are more cumbersome, and in order to avoid mistakes, it is still necessary to rehearse in advance.

Compared with Zhou Yuqing, Song Jianqiu was very relaxed, and when the former was dragged to teach the rules, she began to tour the valley under the leadership of Yu Zhiqiu.

At present, Longhu Mountain is deep in a valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only entrance and exit is the boulder.

In the valley, in addition to the buildings on the ground, the rest of the buildings are suspended in the mountain wall, although there is not as much magnificent scenery as the Longhu Mountain that has been used as a tourist route outside, but here, there should be a Taoist palace is not bad, and even it itself is suspended on the mountain wall to build, it can be regarded as a miracle.

The number of disciples in the entire Dragon Tiger Valley has always been maintained at about seventy, this number is actually quite a lot in many realms, most of the disciples are selected from the villages and towns around Dragon Tiger Mountain, and some are recommended by others from the outside world, or found by themselves.

In addition to the disciples in the valley, there are more foreign disciples, most of them help the door to communicate with foreign countries and trade, etc., after all, even if it is a cultivator, it is inseparable from eating, drinking, lazing, wearing, etc., everything needs money, and Qing cultivation and penance are only suitable for a small number of people.

It is precisely because of these foreign disciples that the disciples in the valley can ignore the worldly affairs and cultivate the truth and enlightenment without distraction.

But don't look at it, in fact, the life of cultivating truth and enlightenment is very boring, and the daily arrangement is basically to get up at six o'clock in the morning, go to each room for morning class, recite Tao Te Ching, I Ching, Yellow Emperor Zhenjing and other Taoist classic books, and only eat breakfast after the morning class.

After breakfast, a 10-minute break is allowed, and then, except for the people who work in shifts, the rest of the people are daily exercises, practicing five bird operas, tai chi, tai chi sword, etc., in the morning, Tao charms, etc., in the afternoon, meditation, meditation, reading, and enlightenment, etc.

Day after day, year after year, unless you can meet the requirements of going out to practice, the days in the valley are like this, one day or two may be nothing, but in the long run, the days will be boring and monotonous.

Some people can't bear this hardship because of this, and choose to quit, and they will generally not be blocked, and some people will apply for expatriation, which will also be arranged according to the personnel.

In fact, don't look at so many people, there are very few people who can really become elite disciples and inherit the Dragon Tiger Mountain Dao Talisman Technique.

After all, cultivating the Tao has never been a fun thing, don't look at those Taoist priests holding a thin rune paper can summon fire and drive water, go to heaven and earth, kill demons and demons, etc., but the things experienced behind it all require great perseverance, great wisdom and great understanding to achieve things.

This is also why, once the land of Shenzhou is in turmoil, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, they will choose to hide in the world, because they are such a small number of people, even if they cultivate to a high level, they will not be able to fight against thousands of enemies.

In the face of war, cultivators can do not much more than ordinary people.

While following Yu Zhiqiu on a tour, he listened to the other party tell the various histories of Longhu Mountain, and the time of the morning passed unconsciously.

After lunch, she took a short rest, and when Zhou Yuqing's apprenticeship ceremony was only two hours away, even Yu Zhiqiu didn't have extra time to accompany her, so she could only wander around by herself.

Time passed quickly, and everything that should be prepared had been prepared, all the disciples in the valley; Including Yu Zhiqiu and Lu Qingye, one of the elders in the valley at this time, they all gathered on the playground in the valley clearing.

The flags and flags are displayed around, and the three yellow incense and green smoke of more than one person in the furnace are swirling.

As the head of the house, Li Tianyi was dressed in a very gorgeous and complicated yellow robe, standing in front of everyone. Beside her, there was a girl who was also wearing a Taoist robe and combed her hair in a bun, revealing a smooth white forehead.

Seeing this girl, Song Jianqiu didn't even recognize it at once, and was still a little puzzled for a while, who was such a delicate and innocent girl, until she carefully identified it, and then she recognized that this girl turned out to be Zhou Yuqing.

This girl has not seen each other since she left in the morning, and when she wears this Taoist robe, she has not yet apprenticed, and there seems to be a faint and indescribable temperament on her body, which makes people have a great impression.

Song Jianqiu's status at this time is also very important, after all, her life and Zhou Yuqing complement each other, and to a certain extent, it can be said that the relationship is very close, closer than any relative, so she was allowed to stand close to the side to watch the ceremony, which can be regarded as a witness.

Before the auspicious time arrived, the whole ceremony was prepared, and everyone was dressed and silent, just waiting for the auspicious time to come.

As time passed, Li Taiyi suddenly shouted: "The auspicious time has passed!" Played! ”

When the words fell, I only heard a crisp and pleasant bell ringing, followed by bells and drums in unison, and the sheng colors played in unison, which was not lively for a while.

In the accompaniment, Mrs. Li solemnly recited the prayer loudly, and the sound was accompanied by the green smoke from the incense burner in front of her, rising into the air and echoing in the valley.

A series of methodical progress, until Zhou Yuqing knelt three times and bowed nine times, raised a glass and sprinkled wine and incense, the entire apprenticeship ceremony came to an end.

Mrs. Li drank the toast, called Zhou Yuqing's name, and after reading the door rules, he let him face all the disciples of Longhu Mountain behind him, and in the voice of the uncle in unison, this apprenticeship ceremony was over.

The whole process was solemn and solemn, and the time it took was not very long, about half an hour, and it was over.

As a viewer, Song Jianqiu can be regarded as having a lot of knowledge.

When she returned to the room, she saw Zhou Yuqing again.

Maybe it was because she had experienced the apprenticeship ceremony, and the girl's face was a little red with excitement, and she was still wearing the Taoist dress during the ceremony, which looked very cute.

"How? Is it good-looking? Zhou Yuqing stood in front of Song Jianqiu and turned around, and the hem and wide sleeves of the robe flew up.

"The sacrificial clothes are not worn now, go and change them!"

Without waiting for Song Jianqiu to open his mouth to praise, he heard a voice coming from outside the door, and then walked in, it was Li Taiyi, the head of Longhu Mountain.

Hearing this, Zhou Yuqing turned around and saluted: "Immeasurable!" Hello sister! ”

Li Taiyi smiled back, and then flicked Zhou Yuqing's forehead with his fingers, and said, "Naughty!" ”

Zhou Yuqing stuck out her tongue, turned around and waved her hand at Song Jianqiu, and then ran out of the room and went back to her residence to change clothes.

After the formal apprenticeship, Zhou Yuqing naturally has a special room and dormitory here, so she no longer has to squeeze in the same room with Song Jianqiu.

After Zhou Yuqing left, Li Taiyi said to Song Jianqiu: "Little sister, is it okay to live here?" ”

"Very good, very good!" Song Jianqiu nodded.

"Unfortunately, we're leaving tomorrow!" Li Taiyi said.

"So fast?" Song Jianqiu knew that the most important thing to come to Longhu Mountain this time was to apprentice to Zhou Yuqing, and then on the fifth to participate in the so-called Three Clear Water and Clean Dust Conference of the Zhengyi faction.

Today is the second day, if you leave tomorrow, it is estimated that you will be able to arrive in about half a day, and then there will be more than a day outside.

"Hmmm! It's rare to go out, go early, you can meet a few friends and elders! Li Tianyi said with a smile.

"Good!" Song Jianqiu naturally has no opinion on this.

After finishing the matter, Li Tianyi chatted with Song Jianqiu for a while before leaving the room.

Then for the rest of the afternoon, she saw the training methods of the disciples of the Lower Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and was fortunate enough to be allowed to enter the Taoist Pavilion and read some Taoist classics.

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and early the next morning, Li Taiyi, Yu Zhiqiu, Song Jianqiu and Zhou Yuqing left the valley under the congratulations of the disciples of Longhu Mountain.

When going down the mountain, the situation was different from the last time I went up the mountain, as soon as I got out of the boulder gate, Li Taiyi released the small dao technique to Song Jianqiu and Zhou Yuqing, and suddenly felt that the whole person was as light as a swallow, almost without touching the ground, and walking was naturally like a gust of wind, very agile and fast.

Song Jianqiu doesn't count, after all, if she summons the Jinxia robe, she can do it so much, but Zhou Yuqing has had such a magical experience for the first time, and it took a while to find the trick, and she was gradually able to move freely and jump on the branches and treetops.

However, just in case, when marching, Li Taiyi still followed Zhou Yuqing's side, teaching the other party while avoiding him from wrestling.

And Yu Zhiqiu and Song Jianqiu followed behind, chatting about some miscellaneous matters.

…………

Arriving in the Longhu Valley on the evening of October 1st, the second stayed for a day, and left on the morning of the third to take a plane and fly to another city.

It was almost noon when I arrived at an ordinary town in the north whose name I didn't know and I couldn't find it on the map.

Although it was a plane and a bus, Yu Zhiqiu and the others didn't feel very tired, but Zhou Yuqing couldn't compare with the three of them now, and after this journey, her spirit obviously felt a little tired.

In order to take care of this new little junior sister, after leaving the station, Li Taiyi proposed: "Go find a hotel nearby to rest!" ”

Naturally, no one objected to this suggestion, so the three of them quickly found a good hotel in the town and opened three rooms.

Among the three rooms, as usual, there is one room for Song Jianqiu and Zhou Yuqing, and one room for Yu Zhiqiu and Li Taiyi.

After entering the assigned room, after Zhou Yuqing put away her luggage, she fell directly on the bed, tired and didn't want to get up.

"I didn't expect it to be so tiring to fly!"

Not long after staying in the room, Mrs. Li knocked on the door and asked the two to go to lunch.

After lunch, Yu Zhiqiu and Li Taiyi said that they were going to go around, so they left together, Zhou Yuqing felt sleepy and chose to stay in the hotel to sleep, and Song Jianqiu thought about it, but was a little bored, so he didn't sleep together, but chose to go out alone.

Out of the hotel gate, she chose a random direction and walked along the street.

The town is small, but it looks lively, with cars and people. Walking and walking, unconsciously, I came to a botanical garden, looking inside, there are all kinds of ornamental plants, and there are also towering trees planted together.

Song Jianqiu turned around and found the entrance, which is a very modern and artistic gate, with a sign on it, saying March 3rd Botanical Garden, which looks like it should be a place to sell plants, but visitors are allowed to visit, and you can not see pedestrians walking on the wide road paved with gravel in twos and threes, but it is not pleasant.

It is rare to find such a place, she is also interested, seeing that tourists enter directly from the gate, and there is no need to buy a ticket, she also walked in, and then walked along the gravel road, all the way, all the way to watch carefully.

On both sides of the road, there are botanical gardens planted with ornamental plants.

There are many kinds of plants, and each piece of land is fenced off, and there are signs on the outside indicating what plants are planted inside, what habits they have, and so on.

In addition to some common shrub ornamental plants, there are also many trees and flower vines, some of which bloom and exude a faint fragrance, while the flower vines cling to the bamboo frame and even climb to the aisle, which is very lush.

Some of them are not visible in the south, but when I see them at this time, I feel that I have gained a lot of knowledge.

Just as Song Jianqiu was about to take a closer look here and take a good look, he suddenly heard a shout behind him.

"Catch her! Anterior! Help stop it! ”

"Don't run!"

The call was from two men, and when they turned around, they saw two young men in Taoist robes, struggling to chase a young girl.

The girl had long hair, tied into a ponytail, and looked beautiful, wearing simple and neat jeans and a short-sleeved shirt, and while running, she kept looking back and back, and smiled and provocatively said: "Come on! Come and catch me! If you can catch me, I won't be called a fairy! ”

Seeing the two men approaching, accompanied by a burst of cheerful laughter, the girl turned around and continued to run, turning back from time to time to provoke.

One or two of them, perhaps out of fun, really helped stop them, but they all seemed very perfunctory, and they were easily avoided by the girl.

"Come on! Come on! Why are you running so slowly like a turtle? ”

"Little girl! Don't run! ”

"Stop!"

While chasing and fleeing, the girl quickly approached Song Jianqiu's side, but at this moment, from a small path on one side, three young men who were also wearing Taoist robes suddenly jumped out and stopped in front of the girl.

"Wow! Someone again! ”

"Dead girl! You can't run! The young man in the center shouted with anger on his face, and he and the people on the left and right both held a peachwood sword in their hands, and they didn't know whether it was true or not.

Seeing that the girl was stopped before and after, and was in trouble, the other tourists on the same road were ready to see the excitement, and even called the police, but the girl was smiling, not in a hurry, and as soon as she turned around, she jumped directly into the plant forest on the side of the road.

"Haha! You can't catch me! Bye! ”

Seeing this scene, the five men hurriedly rushed forward, and they all jumped into the botanical garden, wanting to catch up.

But the five of them jumped in, but as if they had been impacted, they all screamed and flew upside down, which was surprising. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
