βββββββββββββββββββββββββI'm so happy that I'm flying the dividing lineββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
I said that I drank until midnight last night, but today is the succession ceremony after all, so I have long been picked up by Uncle Qiao and a few female disciples, and now I am bathing and changing clothes, and I am wearing a white dress and my eyelids are a little unable to open my eyelids, I am sitting in the room and letting Uncle Qiao and a few female disciples comb my hair and makeup, and bring jewelry and headdress one by one.
Uncle Qiao smeared her own balm on my neck, wrists, and chest, and chattered in my ear, listening to her say that it was the first time that the hidden door ushered in a female disciple to be the head of the house, from the generation of Master Taizu to my master's generation, all of them were male disciples, and she used to be an outer disciple when she was looking forward to having a female head of the hidden door, so when she made clothes for herself, she secretly designed a lot of clothes and jewelry for the future female leader, and now it finally came in handy. Although the Hidden Gate is a place of pure cultivation, everything advocates the beauty of nature and simplicity, but she doesn't think so.
"What if women are as rough as those big men?" She finished my hair with her son, and said while curling my hair: "Women are born to show their most beautiful side in front of everyone, or how to call them women!" I squinted in a daze, and let another female disciple smear my face.
Half a ring, Uncle Qiao clapped his hands in satisfaction; "That's it! It's me, this makeup and hairstyle really flatters you~ Take a look for yourself! β
I opened my eyes in a daze, but I was shocked by myself in the dressing mirror: I saw that I was wearing a pure white silver silk skirt, and the outer robe was actually a cinnabar red large-sleeved shirt, which was embroidered with gold and silver silk threads to create a hundred butterflies wearing flowers, red and white were very eye-catching. A little thin powder was applied to my face, my eyebrows were trimmed into a "autumn cool" style, I gently swept the color with a light smoky gray eyebrow pencil, and my eyes were outlined with eyeliner, and I smeared with a light red eyeshadow, which lined my already good-looking eyes with a bit of charming, and the rouge on my mouth was rose-colored, I moved my nose, and there seemed to be a scent of roses, and I couldn't help asking: "This can't really be a lipstick made of roses, right?" β
"It's an ancient method of lipstick made of roses~" Uncle Qiao saw my amazing expression and smiled proudly: "I like to fiddle with these things in my spare time, these cosmetics are all made by me researching ancient cosmetics, do you like it?" β
"Like! Of course I do! "I couldn't be happier, after all, I like these things too, I looked in the mirror and touched the silver crown of fringed filigree on top of my head, and there seemed to be a slight jingle between my shakes, I like it, but ......... I turned my head to look at Uncle Qiao and asked, "Isn't this a little too gorgeous?" β
"How so!" Uncle Qiao smiled and put his arm on my shoulders and said, "Today is your big day, how can you not look better?" β
"Little junior sister, the master they have already sat in front of the main hall, the master asked me to ask you if you are ready" from outside the door from the voice of the senior brother, I hurriedly said: "Okay, okay" said and got up, I walked out of the inner room, the two female disciples in the front hall saw that I came out, and hurriedly opened the curtain for me, I came to the door and pushed open the door and walked out, but I saw the senior brother standing on the steps outside the door, and when I came out, the senior brother was also very surprised with a look of surprise, and praised me: "The little sister is already very beautiful when she doesn't make up, This makeup is really captivating! I gave him a blank look and said, "Come on, anyway, I know that in your eyes, I'm still the crazy woman who wears her hair all day long."
"Little junior sister is wronged!" The senior brother shouted, stretched out a hand and motioned for me to put it on his arm and said, "In my heart, I have always felt that my little junior sister is the best woman in the world, and those vulgar fans can't compare with you!" Let's go, the master and they have probably been waiting for a long time. β
"Hmph, even if you haven't been dazzled by those women, let's go" I put my hand on his hand and let him lead me towards the main hall.
The room where the head of the house lives is the cloud hall at the highest point of the entire hidden door, go down from the gate of the cloud hall, you can see the territory of the uncles on the left and right sides, about 500 meters down from the cloud hall, in a bamboo forest under the shade of a silk fragrance with a house built out of wood, it is Uncle Qiao's alchemy workshop "Hongxiang Building", next to the alchemy workshop is the "Xue Xuan" where Uncle Nangong lives, and then go down, surrounded by a peach blossom is the "Peach Blossom Temple" of Uncle Luo and Uncle Shangguan and the "Meteor Pavilion" surrounded by ginkgo trees, and further down, you can see a large open space where a blacksmith shop stands, that is, Uncle Dong's refining workshop and the adobe thatched house "Guizhen Village" where he lives.
In addition to these houses that already have names, there is also a row of various houses without names in front of my main hall, which seem to be newly built, and I heard from the master last night that it was a room prepared for my four senior brothers, so the senior brother was able to arrive in front of the house in the cloud hall where I lived so quickly this morning.
I remember that after I was led to the cloud hall last night, I went out from the back door of the hall, there was actually a pure natural hot spring pool, the hot spring was surrounded by natural mountain stones, the pool was in front of the bottom of the big lake, there was actually another waterfall under the impact of the formation of a big lake, the big lake can go down from a small mountain road on the edge of the hot spring pool, I saw a big cherry blossom tree on the edge of the pool, I couldn't help but yearn for it, I wanted to come to spring, where the scenery is extremely beautiful.
When I was thinking about these things, I had already gone down to the location of the main hall, and the senior brother took me from the mountain road on the side of the main hall to bypass out, and came to the square in front of the main hall, if you look down at the square from above, you will see that there is a huge five-element Taiji Bagua diagram on the square, seeing that the senior brother took me over, Uncle Luo got up and announced to the disciples standing in the square: "The head is coming!" β
"Greetings!" Except for my master, the other uncles and all the disciples stood up, saluted me from afar and said in unison, I quickly walked to a few uncles and helped them up, and said to the people under the seats: "Everyone please get up"
Then he walked to the main seat next to the master and sat down, and the master sat next to the master in turn is the senior brother, the third senior brother, the fifth senior brother, and the seventh senior brother, except for the senior brother who had seen me dressed early, the other senior brothers were all amazed, and the seventh senior brother whispered to me and said: "It's the first time I've seen the little junior sister wearing red, in the past, I only saw you black, white and gray, but I didn't expect this red to look so good on you today~" I smiled and whispered: "Your mouth is the sweetest, It seems that eating too much sugar usually works quite well," Senior Brother Seventh smiled, and then stopped talking.
It was Uncle Luo who presided over the ceremony, and when he saw me sitting, he said loudly: "Ring the bell three times!" I heard a bell tower on the edge of the gate archway came from a very simple and melodious three bells, and after the echo dissipated, Uncle Luo said loudly: "The forty-generation head of the hidden door took over the ceremony, and it officially began!" Please perform the 48 forms of Tai Chi! I looked at the master, and knew that it was time for me to appear, so I stood up according to what the master said last night, and walked slowly down from the high platform temporarily erected in front of the main hall.
I walked to the middle of the Tai Chi Bagua diagram, faced the master and them, took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and my mind flashed through the previous exercises, and then slowly started the first pose.
After the forty-eight style fight, the disciples let out thunderous applause and cheers, I walked back to my seat and sat down, the master smiled and whispered: "It seems that you have practiced a lot in private, and the set just now is very good." "I am full of joy when I get the master's affirmation, if it weren't for so many people now, I would definitely put my arms around his neck and kiss him.
When Uncle Luo saw me sitting down, he stood up, waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and after strengthening his voice with a spell, he said loudly: "Everyone must have listened to their respective masters, this is the fortieth generation head of the Hidden Sect selected by the original head of the sect for everyone, his closed disciple, ink dye!" The head of the white jade carving dragon seal has been passed on to her before, and this succession ceremony is held today, mainly to select a group of inner disciples after a long absence! The difference from the selection of inner disciples in the past is that in addition to the head of Mo, the four senior brothers of the head will also select their favorite disciples to be accepted as inner disciples, that is to say, in addition to the traditional head of the sect who can select six outer disciples to enter the inner gate, other outer disciples who are interested and willing to die and never change their original intentions will also be able to take this opportunity to become inner disciples! When many disciples heard the news, they were so happy that they were about to fly, and everyone was whispering, hoping to leave a good impression on their future masters, especially the master.
"What?" Hearing this sudden statement, the senior brother and the third senior brother were as steady as ever without any change in expression, but when the fifth senior brother and the seventh senior brother heard that they were going to be masters, one of them stood up and stammered: "Master, master, why haven't I heard you say that there is such a thing before?" And the seventh senior brother jumped to his feet and said: "No, no, no, I'm still a child myself, do you want me to be a master?" Spare me! β
"Hehe, that's not good" The master smiled: "Zhang Lushuang, you are also 25, now that your little junior sister is the head, you should also be the uncle, I think you can add another archaeology in the future, keep pace with the times!" Then he looked at Xiang Wan and said, "And you, are you still a child at the age of 22?" Your master and I will be able to drink three catties of liquor when I am 22 years old! Look at your other senior brothers are also drinking, and even your little junior sister drinks better than you, don't you blush as a senior brother? Regardless of their objections, he stood up with a smile and waved his hand to everyone, and after waiting for the noise below to calm down, he said: "Everyone should have listened to what my senior brothers and sisters said, this is my precious little apprentice who closes the door, ink dyeing, and the succession ceremony is held today, in addition to wanting to select a group of disciples who will always be loyal to her and have high learning skills to be her inner disciples, I also hope that you will work hard to win the favor of my other apprentices, after all, this inner disciple is only selected once every few years, I believe everyone has been waiting for a long time, In addition to this matter, after today's selection meeting has passed, my precious apprentice will also marry my third apprentice, Li Xu! This is a great event that is rare to see in a hundred years! I hope everyone can take it seriously! After that, he looked at me, and I had to stand up, clear my throat, and raise my voice: "As my master said, I hope everyone can behave well later!" After that, Uncle Luo took a big box prepared in the morning, and said: "As in previous years, here is a box with a pair of lots, please come up in turn to draw lots, and those who draw the same number will become opponents. Thou shalt not hurt anyone's life! With that, he took the box and walked down the steps to let the disciples draw lots.
After everyone had finished drawing lots, Uncle Luo put away the box, walked out of the Tai Chi gossip diagram and said, "Contestant No. 1, please come up!" When the words fell, I saw a male disciple of the "gold" phalanx wearing a yellow shirt and a male disciple of the "fire" phalanx wearing a red shirt coming out of the queue respectively, and walked to the middle of the Tai Chi Bagua diagram and stood face to face, Uncle Luo said: "I counted down three times, and as soon as I started shouting, the battle began, whoever came out of the edge of this Tai Chi pattern first was deemed to have lost, but they all understood?" β
"Disciple understands!" The two outer disciples replied in unison, so Uncle Luo retreated outside the circle and raised his voice: "Three, two, one!" Begin! As soon as the words fell, the man in the yellow shirt took the lead in attacking, and I and a few senior brothers sat on it and listened to the master's explanation to us.
In this way, two by two, the winner naturally cheered, the loser hung his head, and finally waited for everyone to finish the battle, I fixed my eyes, and finally there were about 20 disciples who won from the golden array, about 15 on the wooden side, 15 on the water side, more than 30 people on the fire side, and only 10 on the earth side.
Then the second round began, the second round was alchemy, and after this round, the gold side eliminated another 10 places, and the wood side left 6 places, the water side left 5 places, the fire side 15 places, and the earth side only left 2 places.
Finally, in the third round, the spiritual power test, unexpectedly, the 2 people on the earth side were all above the spiritual power stage of 8, and there were several people on the fire side who didn't even reach 5, and in the end there were only 2 people left. And only 3 on the water side reached 8, only 2 on the wood side reached 8 dan, and 4 on the final gold side were 8 dan, and the other 2 actually reached 10 duan, I couldn't help but look at the 2 full duans a few more times, but I sat far away, and I could only vaguely see a man and a woman.
"I remember that when the little junior sister tested this, she burst all the spiritual power test balls~" The third senior brother looked at me with a smile and said
"That is, our little junior sister is the best, otherwise how could the master directly skip the ring of outer disciples and directly accept it under his own name?" Xiang Wan looked at the group of failed and depressed disciples and muttered: "I was expecting a few more talents, but it turned out to be so many people, it's really boring~"
"There are too many people, I'm afraid you're going to have a headache to death!" I smiled, but I heard Uncle Luo salute from afar underground, and then took a blank piece of paper and said: "Back to the master, senior brother, the three rounds of disciple selection have ended, and the last ones left are: Ma Hao of the earth formation, Ma Tao!" An Chenxi, Ning Huatian, and Bai Yuanjing of the water array! Zhao Mengyi of the fire array, Sun Xue! The clouds of the wooden array, Bai Hao! Miao Yiyi, Lei Xiaojun, Gu Mengping, Du Ruan Yi of the Golden Array! β
As the last name came out, several people stepped forward together, knelt down and said, "I've seen the former head of the house, the head of Mo!" I've seen 4 uncles! I've seen all of you! β
"Get up!" I said, at this time, Uncle Luo had already walked back quickly, lifted the red cloth of a table placed on the side of the stairs, and there were many jade pendants wearing red ropes in between, he lifted the red cloth and walked up again, and said beside me: "The head can now go down with a few of your senior brothers to choose your favorite disciples, which disciple you like, and give the jade pendant to the other party to wear, among which the head of your disciple jade pendant is in the shape of a butterfly, because your coat of arms is a butterfly, and so on, your senior brother's disciple jade pendant is in the shape of an eagle, The third senior brother is a white crane, the fifth senior brother is a mouse, and the seventh senior brother is a kingfisher. β
"Hmm" I nodded to indicate that I understood, and then stood up with a few of my brothers and walked down the stairs to the table, and then I raised my voice, "Please come closer!" β
The fourteen people heard my call, and they all stepped forward, and when they walked in, I saw the faces of these people clearly: it turned out that the two disciples of the earth array were twins, and the three of the water array and the two of the wooden array were male disciples who were about seventeen, eighteen, nine or twenty years old, especially Bai Hao of the wooden array, who was obviously a man but gave birth to a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, and when he saw me glance at him a few more times, he gave me a smile, this smile is comparable to a sinking fish and a goose, and the moon is shy of flowers, although my seventh senior brother is also very beautiful, But this person actually compared him to him. And the two people in the fire array are actually little girls, and they are only about 16 years old when they look young, and as for the golden array, they are both men and women, among them, Gu Mengping is also born with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, but he is not smiling, and when he sees me looking at him, he just hugs his fists at me and does not speak.
Uncle Luo was the last to come down, and when he saw that I picked up a jade pendant and held it in his hand, he didn't move for a long time, and he didn't want to urge me, so he stood quietly aside.
I looked at the fourteen people in front of me who made difficulties, all of them are dragons and phoenixes among people, how do I choose? When I was in a dilemma, I heard the master pass the voice into the secret and said to me: "Girl, remember that you are going to cultivate the Yin and Yang Taiji Diagram!" I took a deep breath, turned my head to stare at him, and when I saw him smiling at me, I couldn't help but sigh, and the third senior brother saw me sighing, so he came to my side and asked in a low voice: "Little junior sister, why are you sighing?" β
I glanced at him and complained: "The master sent a secret message to me, saying that I want to remember that I want to practice the Tai Chi Yin and Yang Diagram, but what does this have to do with me making difficulties in choosing disciples!" β
The senior brother was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then remembered what the senior brother had said to him on the plane before, so he had to suppress the sourness in his heart, and smiled at me: "It turns out that the little junior sister doesn't know, that the Yin and Yang Taiji Diagram needs to be cultivated by both men and women, you should have heard the master talk about it, right?" I nodded and said in a low voice, "But don't I have a senior brother for you?" Since I want to double cultivate, I naturally have to double cultivate with my senior brother! β
Hearing this, the third senior brother sighed slightly and whispered to me: "Little junior sister, you only know one and don't know the other, although this Yin and Yang Taiji Diagram is a dual cultivation of men and women, but if you want your skills to break through the highest realm in the later stage, it is not possible to double cultivate with me alone." β
I was shocked when I heard this, and almost yelled out, but the third senior brother quickly covered his mouth with his hand, but in my panic, I heard him whisper in my ear: "Dye your talent is excellent, not comparable to ordinary people, senior brother told me everything on the plane, I have thought a lot about it in the past few days, although I love you very much and want to monopolize you, but for your sake in the future, I still decided to be one of your future harems, but you have to promise me that the position of the husband can only be mine." β
I listened to him whisper such shocking words in my ear, and my heart had changed from shock to shock, and I pulled his hand away, gritted my teeth and asked, "Are you crazy?" What reverse harem? The plot in this kind of novel is also up to the elder brother and the master to come up with it! And you really believe them! β
"It's not that I believe it" The third senior brother smiled bitterly: "It's that the Yin and Yang Taiji Diagram is my Li family's exercises, I heard my grandfather talk about it in my early years, and I didn't expect that the way to cultivate this thing would be like this."
"So what does it have to do with so many men?!" I said angrily, "I'm just you!" Don't talk about that in the future! β
"Little junior sister, don't you know" The third senior brother thought of the incident that the master came to him in person last night, and he felt uncomfortable, but he still lowered his voice and said to me: "If the Yin and Yang Taiji Diagram is cultivated by the man of my Li family, it can only be cultivated with his beloved woman, but if this Yin and Yang Taiji Diagram is transmitted to your body, it will be affected by the cold breath in your body, it will have the same effect as a kitsch, the higher your skill, the more charming and colorful your face will be, if the concentration is not good, who do you look at, I'm afraid that whoever will rise in my heart desires, and your body will become more and more sensitive.......... So ............"
"Holy!" I whispered a foul word, stared at him and whispered, "So at some point, even if I am reluctant, I am afraid that I can't help myself?" β
"That's right!" The third senior brother nodded bitterly, I rolled my eyes, I finally knew why the master wanted to send me a message, why did this really want the old lady to choose the rhythm of all men? I had thought before that I might accept all the senior brothers in the future, and I was still worried about how to tell the third senior brother about this, it seems that it was the old lady who was kept in the dark from beginning to end! Is...........
I scratched the back of my head irritably, and only after half a sound did I make up my mind, and whispered to the third senior brother: "Third senior brother, you remember, no matter what happens in the future, there is only one Li Xu in Mo Ran's heart!" β
"Well, with your sentence, the third senior brother is already content" The third senior brother chuckled, stretched out his hand and stroked the crown of hair on my head and said: "Li Xu will always have only one ink dye in his heart. β
I smiled at him, and immediately spoke: "Gu Mengping of the Golden Array, Bai Hao of the Wood Array, Ning Huatian of the Water Array, Sun Xue of the Fire Array, Ma Hao and Ma Tao of the Earth Array!" Advance! β
When a few people heard my call, except for Gu Mengping, who had a paralyzed face, the rest of them were overjoyed, and they all stepped forward, and I said, "You guys line up from high to low according to age."
So Gu Mengping stood in the first place, then Bai Hao, Ma Hao, Ma Tao, Ning Huatian, and finally Sun Xue
When I saw them lined up, I walked over one by one, put the jade on their belts, put on the jade pendants, and several people knelt down in unison, kowtowed to me three times and said in unison: "Please give me a name!" β
I looked at Uncle Luo in wonder, and Uncle Luo hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "In order to facilitate the title in the future, the head of the family wants to give his apprentices a law name, and each generation of disciples has their own law name, your master's generation, that is, our generation's law name is taken from the wind word generation, my law name is Fengqi, your master's law name was originally Fengsheng, and later changed to Feng Yin in the year he took over as the head of the house. In your generation, it should be the turn of the forgetful generation."
"Is it okay to have a flower in the name?" I asked in a low voice
"Yes, it doesn't matter if the word moon is in front or behind, but for your convenience in the future, I personally recommend that you put the word moon in the first word," Uncle Luo said with a smile
"Okay" I nodded, raised my head and said to a few people: "Then according to the age, Gu Mengping is the senior brother, and the law name is forgotten,"
"Yes! Forget the empty and worship the master again, thank the master for the name! "Gu Mengping, it's time for him to forget about emptiness in the future, he kowtowed to me again, and then got up and stood beside me.
I looked at Bai Hao again, he saw me coming, looked up and smiled at me again, I scolded a demon in my heart, and said to him: "Bai Hao is the second junior brother, and the law name is forgotten."
Bai Hao also kowtowed again like Gu Mengping, and then got up with a smile and followed behind Gu Mengping,
I then asked Ma Hao and Ma Tao: "Who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother of the two of you?" Ma Tao said: "I am the younger brother" I thought about it and said: "Then Ma Hao is the third junior brother, you are the fourth junior brother, the law name, Ma Hao is the forgotten dust, you are called the forgotten sea!" β
"Yes!" The two of them responded in unison, then they also kowtowed and stood behind Bai Hao
Finally, Sun Xue, I said: "Then Sun Xue is the little junior sister", thinking of several senior brothers calling me little junior sister, I couldn't help laughing: "You are the same as me, from now on you will be their little junior sister, I believe that they will be the same as my senior brothers, take good care of you, you call it forget your worries, for the teacher I hope you can have no worries for a lifetime." β
"Yes! Master Xie gave the name! Sun Xue smiled and kowtowed, stood up, walked to Ma Tao's side and stood up.
I have selected the disciples, and the next thing is to assign the house, forget the worries as a little junior sister, I gave her a room closer to me, one for the two brothers of Forget the Dust and the Sea, one for Bai Hao and Gu Mengping, after allocating these, the senior brothers also selected their own disciples among the remaining people, awarded the jade pendant, and gave the Dharma name, so far the succession ceremony is over, and then Uncle Luo led the new disciples to their respective rooms, and the other disciples went back to the disciple's room under the arrangement of the other uncles. I went to the main hall with my four senior brothers and my master to worship the tablets of the founding master and the heads of the previous generations, and returned to my cloud hall after dinner.
