Chapter 21: Apprenticeship

The top five disciples lined up, standing in front of the Sect Master and the Inner Sect Elders, waiting for their choice.

Most of the elders in front of him put people on Su Ming, his qualifications are surprising, he is only sixteen years old now, and with careful education, there is a great possibility that he will be promoted to the innate level.

The honor of being able to become a teacher of the innate powerhouse made many elders plan to tear their faces and fight for it.

Rong Yunhe naturally knew this, and planned to make Su Ming the finale, so he said with a smile: "Okay, let's start the apprenticeship ceremony now, the first one will start with Chen Qingyu, although his cultivation is not more than the fourfold realm, but he has a good understanding of swordsmanship, I don't know the elders, who wants to accept him as an apprentice?" ”

A group of elders set their eyes on Chen Qingyu, some shook their heads and some frowned, twenty years old and the day after tomorrow fourfold, such a qualification is not brilliant, everyone here has at least opened up the Ren vein, and has the acquired eightfold cultivation. And when he was young, he was not the best among the outer disciples.

The first fivefold realm of the day after tomorrow, one is the qi sense, and then the yin and yang veins, the yin and yang veins, if these cannot be opened before the age of twenty, it proves that the qualifications are ordinary, and there is basically no hope of being the second pulse for life.

Especially the last four meridians, one is stronger than the other.

Belt pulse, Chong pulse, Ren pulse, Du pulse, each layer of the realm is stuck I don't know how many warriors.

Therefore, many people are not optimistic about Chen Qingyu and hesitate to choose whether to choose.

Chen Qingyu's face didn't change much, he had long expected this result, as long as he could enter the inner door, although the qualifications were poor, but if he worked hard, he might not be able to achieve something.

After a while, an elder suddenly said, "I think this kid has extraordinary swordsmanship, so I'll take him as an apprentice." ”

When Rong Yunhe heard this, he looked at the old man and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Elder Lu of the Outer Gate, well, it is better for you to teach this disciple." ”

The old man said to Chen Qingyu, "I am Lu Tianxi, the elder of the outer gate. Chen Qingyu, your cultivation level is not high, but you are diligent and hardworking, and your character is tenacious, which is very much in line with me. Today I want to take you as an apprentice, will you worship me as a teacher? ”

Chen Qingyu hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Disciple Chen Qingyu, I am willing to worship Elder Lu as a teacher. ”

Lu Tianxi smiled, let Chen Qingyu stand behind him, although he was accepted as a disciple, he would also hold an apprenticeship ceremony in Chonghua Palace in the afternoon.

After Chen Qingyu finished worshipping his master, it was Luo Sheng's turn next, his qualifications were good, but his temperament was not good, he was lazy, and his comprehension ability was very poor, and he lost to the acquired quadruple martial artist, and almost no one wanted to be his master.

However, there was still an elder from the outer gate who accepted him as an apprentice, but Luo Sheng's interest was a little low.

The third is Zhao Jinxuan, the only female disciple among the five.

Accepting her as an apprentice was Meng Ru, the deputy hall master of Furong Hall, and she was rebuilt for the ninth day after tomorrow.

Next is Chu Yunyang, Rong Yunhe directly accepted him as an apprentice, after all, he is a disciple of the Chu family, and he is not very relieved to teach others.

After all four of them were accepted as apprentices, Su Ming was the only one left on the martial arts training ground of Nuoda.

Rong Yunhe said with a smile: "Elders, is anyone willing to accept Su Ming as an apprentice?"

Hearing his words, the elders were a little enthusiastic, but before they could speak, Su Yurong said with a smile: "I'm very interested in this little guy Su Ming, so let's make an exception and take him as an apprentice." ”

Seeing Su Yurong make a move, many elders who wanted to compete for it died down, and no one dared to speak, for fear that this crazy woman would come to the door.

Hearing this, Lei Huan snorted coldly and said, "Delusional, Su Ming is my apprentice, and no one can snatch it away." ”

Su Yurong smiled at the corner of her mouth, looked at Su Ming, and said with a smile: "Can't you snatch it?" That's not necessarily, compared to worshipping a bad old man as a teacher and practicing martial arts with a beautiful woman, I want to know which one to choose. ”

Su Yurong raised her jade arm and showed a charming smile towards Su Ming, with endless temptation between her eyebrows and eyes, making Su Ming's heart pound.

Lei Huan looked at Su Ming and asked directly, "Su Ming, what do you think?" ”

Su Ming knew that he naturally couldn't hesitate at this time, took a step forward, and said directly: "The disciple wants to worship Elder Lei as a teacher."

When Lei Huan heard this, he laughed and laughed, but he didn't forget to sarcastically say a few words to Su Yurong, "You have a good eye, you know that if you choose a tree to live on, if you worship the wrong master, your life will be ruined." ”

When Su Yurong heard this, she didn't care, and said with a smile: "Although you are not my disciple, if you don't understand anything, you can go to Furong Hall to find me." ”

Lei Huan knew that Su Yurong was just to disgust herself, but she also blew her beard angrily and glared, and he shouted angrily: "Su Ming, you must not go to Chixia Peak for a step." ”

Chixia Peak is where the Furong Hall is located, and all the female disciples in the sect practice on the peak.

Su Ming hurriedly responded: "The disciple knows. ”

After the apprenticeship ceremony, the next step was the apprenticeship ceremony, but before the apprenticeship ceremony began, Su Ming followed Lei Huan back to his residence.

Lei Huan's residence is at the top of the peak, the easternmost part of the group of magnificent buildings, the location is remote, and it looks a little gloomy.

Su Ming followed Lei Huan and walked towards his residence, next to him were several of his senior brothers, the oldest one was nearly thirty years old, his name was Zhou Bai, when Lei Huan was only the day after tomorrow, and when he was still an elder of the outer gate, he worshiped Lei Huan as a teacher.

Zhou Bai is tall, like a cypress tree, and his back will be straight when he walks.

Zhou Baifang's face was thick eyebrows, his expression was a little rigid, and Su Ming only replied a few words to him, giving people a feeling of coldness.

However, the second senior brother Zhu Qing eagerly introduced Su Ming to the composition of the torture hall, the identities of the elders and deputy hall masters, and the names of several senior brothers.

Coming to the residence, Lei Huan took Su Ming directly to the courtyard, this is Lei Huan's residence, and there are no disciples living here with Lei Huan at present.

Many of the disciples led by Zhou Bai lived in the torture hall halfway up the mountain, and were responsible for dealing with disciples who violated the rules of the door.

Lei Huan asked Zhu Qing to take Su Ming to stay, and in the future, he would personally teach Su Ming's martial arts, instead of letting his disciples take him to teach martial arts as before.

After Su Ming stayed, he didn't see Lei Huan next, and in the evening, he was taken by Zhu Qing to Chonghua Palace.

Su Ming entered Chonghua Palace for the first time, and after entering, many people had already gathered inside, sitting on both sides of Chonghua Palace.

On the opposite side of the gate, there were five chairs, which were prepared for the sect master and elders who had accepted disciples today.

Su Ming was brought to Chu Yunyang and Chen Qingyu to wait for the arrival of the elders, and he unconsciously looked at the Lifting Hua Palace.

The internal space of Chonghua Palace is huge, the twelve red giant pillars are very eye-catching, the smooth surface can present the shadow of people, although the palace is magnificent, but it is not extravagant, there is no prosperous carving, at the same time, there is also a bit of solemnity.

In front of the wall of Chonghua Palace facing the door, there is a huge statue erected, the owner of the statue is an old man with crane hair and a childish face, fairy wind and bones, with a long sword in his right hand and a long sword in his left hand, no matter where you are, he seems to be looking at you, although the corners of his mouth are smiling, but it gives people a huge sense of oppression.

This is the founding ancestor of the Qingqiu faction, the master of Chonghua Palace, and the real person of Chonghua.

Founded the Qingqiu faction with his own strength, leaving behind a lot of martial arts, Su Ming had heard of the prestige of Chonghua Zhenren, but it was the first time he saw his statue.

Su Ming and the others stood there, and someone immediately came over and told them the process of the apprenticeship ceremony, first worship the ancestor master, then worship the master, and finally serve tea, and then go to the Yuhe Hall for a banquet after the end.

In this world, most people are extremely cautious about accepting apprentices, once they get started, the relationship between master and apprentice is like that of father and son, the master has to teach the disciples, the disciples have to respect the master, the disciples have done something wrong, the master has to be implicated, and the disciples have to share their worries when the master encounters difficulties. Therefore, there is a very careful process and cumbersome rituals involved in the collection of disciples.

After Su Ming memorized it, it didn't take long for the sect master, Lei Huan, the elder of the torture hall, Meng Ru, the deputy hall master of the Furong Hall, Lu Tianxi, the elder of the outer gate, and Cheng Buqi, the deacon of the outer gate, to arrive together and sit on the chair.

Then a deacon stepped forward, and Hong Sheng shouted: "The Qingqiu sect apprenticeship has begun, and the disciple has stepped forward." ”

Su Ming and the five of them hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of their respective masters, restraining their smiles and maintaining a respectful demeanor.

The deacon shouted again: "Master Zu founded the Qingqiu Sect, the first salute: worship Master Zu." ”

As his words fell, Rong Yunhe and the five of them stood up, turned their backs, and bowed to Master Zu.

The five disciples followed, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the ancestral master.

When Rong Yunhe and the others sat back in their seats, the deacon shouted again: "A teacher for one day, a father for life." Second Rite: Prostrate to the Master. ”

Su Ming and the other four disciples immediately knelt in front of the master and kowtowed three times, but after kowtowing, they did not stand up, but knelt there and stood up straight.

Then the five masters took a step forward and lifted their disciples up, and after doing this, the five masters sat back in their chairs.

"The third ceremony: the disciple serves tea."

When the words fell, there were their respective senior brothers serving the tea next to them, Su Ming took the teacup handed over by Zhou Bai, came to Lei Huan, knelt down on one knee, lifted the tea, and said, "Master, please drink tea." “

"Okay."

Lei Huan took the teacup with both hands, took a sip, and put the teacup aside, while Su Ming still maintained the posture of raising his hands.

"Fourth Gift: Master's Return Gift."

Lei Huan took out a brocade box from his arms and put it in Su Ming's hand, and said at the same time: "There is a bottle of Qi Enhancement Pill in it, which can increase internal strength and improve cultivation after taking it." ”

"Thank you, Master."

Su Ming stood up and took the brocade box in his hand.

"After the ceremony, please go to the Jade Harmony Hall."

With the last words of the steward, the elders who came to watch the ceremony went to the Jade Harmony Hall together.

Lei Huan stood up and said with a straight face: "Su Ming, you are my sixth apprentice. Su Ming, I want you to remember that my apprentice Lei Huan must not violate the door rules, and if there is a violation, the punishment will be doubled. ”

Lei Huan himself was the elder of the torture hall, not only did he not let his disciples enjoy privileges, but he restrained them more strictly.

This is also the reason why Lei Huan has been in charge of the torture hall for 20 years, although he is short-tempered and old-fashioned, but no one can say anything about Lei Huan's conduct.

Su Ming hurriedly said, "Disciple, remember Master's teachings. ”

Lei Huan smiled and said, "Okay, follow me to the Jade Peace Hall." ”
