Chapter Fifty-Eight: Respect for Teachers
On the square, there were only ten True Transmission disciples, all of whom were proud of the sky, arrogant and arrogant, exuding strong self-confidence. As for the disciples of the inner court, there are exactly seventy-two people, each of whom is also extraordinary, and finally there are the disciples of the outer court, there are four or five hundred. When so many people entered the ancestral hall in turn, they did not feel crowded, but very empty.
There are banquets on both sides of the main hall, which is a place to watch the ceremony, and Song Yuanbai is also in it, looking at Ye Tian gloomily, not knowing what he is thinking.
"Brother Bai, it won't be long before Ye Tian is proud, I just talked to Zhao Yan, he will take the opportunity to accept Ye Tian as a disciple, if Ye Tian resists, he will be expelled from Confucianism on the spot. If you are obedient, you will have an opportunity to grasp it in the future. ”
Wei You said with a smile on the side, his palm had been connected, and he looked like he had never been injured and was intact.
Song Yuanbai nodded, noncommittal, he couldn't see his expression, but his tense expression eased a little.
At this moment, there was a melodious and pleasant sound of musical instruments, very beautiful, elegant, and comfortable, as if in a fairyland, hearing such music, Gu Yao's eyes lit up, and he was obviously very interested.
These players are all elite disciples of the outer court of Confucianism, proficient in the six arts, and only Confucianism can put on such a big show.
And in the depths of the main hall, there is a huge statue of a saint, wearing a Confucian scarf, wearing a green shirt, holding a book, he is the founder of Confucianism, the founder of Confucianism, the master. After 10,000 years of inheritance, "Master" has become a title, as long as it is a Confucian master, he will automatically inherit this title and become the new master. In the entire land of Central and South China, the master has supreme glory and status, and not just anyone can hold it.
Although the Confucian Master has disappeared for three hundred years, many people speculate that the Master may have encountered an accident, but even so, no one can succeed the Master.
"Ye Tian, you take a step forward. ”
After some ceremonies, Zhao Yan stood solemnly, his eyes were introverted, he looked at Ye Tian, and when Ye Tian came out, he said lightly: "Under the witness of the patriarch, I will accept you as a disciple today, and in the future, you should carry forward my Confucian teachings, and you must not forget it." ”
The hall was quiet, only the melodious music matched with Zhao Yan's voice, which seemed extremely solemn, on such an occasion, even the most unruly people should be in awe and cautious.
After a while, seeing that Ye Tian was motionless, Zhao Yan's eyes sharpened, and he said in a deep voice: "It's your honor for me to accept you as an apprentice, why don't you kneel down quickly and kowtow to meet your teacher?"
Seeing Zhao Yan reprimanding Ye Tian, Song Yuanbai finally showed a smile, and Wei You also gloated: "Ye Tian is going to be finished, no matter how arrogant he is in front of Confucianism, he has to give in." As long as he kneels down, don't think about standing up straight again in the future and see what he does. ”
"That young man has an outstanding demeanor, can make a hundred saints sing together, he is a genius, and Confucianism is going to continue to prosper. In the crowd, there was a Taoist who exclaimed.
Someone sneered and said, "Brother Dao, you are wrong. The more genius there is, the more damage it causes. In my opinion, this son is not knowledgeable about etiquette, arrogant, lacking education, and is not suitable for Confucianism. ”
"Yes, I have also heard that this son relied on force during the assessment, and he injured several people, and he was too lethal. No matter how talented this kind of person is, it is not enough. ”
A sentence from you, one sentence to me, soon Ye Tian's criticism was useless. They are all famous and decent, and the most important thing is the number of etiquette, the elders are respected, and the disciples are behind, and Ye Tian is so arrogant in front of Zhao Yan, which makes them disgusted from the bottom of their hearts.
Hearing the sound of falling in the hall, Zhao Yan smiled, he had no good impression of Ye Tian, and when he thought that he was finally able to step on Ye Tian under his feet and knead it at will, he was in a good mood.
"Ye Tian, in front of the teacher, do you still dare to be arrogant? Today, the teacher will teach you the first lesson, so that you can understand what is respecting the teacher. ”
Zhao Yan scolded sharply, putting on a righteous appearance, and people who didn't know the truth really thought that he was following the good and inducing him, teaching by word and deed.
Xia Nan hurriedly glanced at Ye Tian, now at this time, he still obeyed Zhao Yan first, and then he would think of a way later. In front of the patriarch, Zhao Yan naturally occupies the moral high ground, and no matter how Ye Tian argues, he is wrong, and he will only make himself fall into injustice even more.
But what kind of person is Ye Tian, Zhao Yan couldn't force him to kneel four years ago, and it is even more impossible today.
He looked directly at Zhao Yan and said coldly: "You don't put gold on your face, I didn't promise to be your apprentice." I can't help but tell you the truth, whoever I recognize as a master will not recognize you, and you will die of this heart!"
When the words fell, the hall was silent, everyone was stunned, no one thought that Ye Tian would actually say such a thing, Zhao Yan's face instantly turned red, then blue, and finally turned completely purple and black, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood.
Ye Tian's contemptuous words were * naked slap Zhao Yan's face, and he was caught off guard, completely defenseless, for a while, Zhao Yan's heart was furious, but he was so angry that he couldn't even speak, just pointed at Ye Tian, trembling all over.
Even the music stopped, it was frightened by Ye Tian, how many years, no one had ever so blatantly contradicted the Confucian elders in the Patriarch Palace.
The Patriarch's Hall is the most sacred* temple of Confucianism, and it will only be activated in the five-year apprenticeship ceremony and the emperor's nine-year ritual of worshipping the heavens.
But it was in such a place that Ye Tian mercilessly rejected Zhao Yan in front of the first patriarch icon and the audience of various sects, which was tantamount to humiliation, and even those who cultivated deeply would be extremely shocked and stunned when they heard Ye Tian's words.
Zhao Yan studied under the chess saint Shou Lingyu, one of the three saints of Confucianism, and the master of Tiandao Academy, one of the four masters, was his junior brother, and he himself was canonized by the Great Song Dynasty and had an official position. It can be said that Zhao Yan's seniority is extremely high, and there are no more than ten people who can overwhelm him in Confucianism.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Zhao Yan accepted a person who had just started as a disciple, which was more than enough, and if he went one step further, he could only accept the disciples in person by the Three Sages, but this was almost impossible. In fact, Zhao Yan's acceptance of Ye Tian as a disciple is already equivalent to the next generation of chess saints, which is basically the way out for every true disciple.
Xia Nan's hands and feet were cold, desperate, she knew the consequences very well, Zhao Yan's humiliation was tantamount to the humiliation of the chess saint Shou Lingyu, and even the majesty of the entire Confucian sect was insulted, Zhao Yan could not let Ye Tian go in order to save his dignity.
"It's really a reckless man, lacking education, and daring to be presumptuous in the ancestral hall, and when you are expelled from Confucianism, it will be your death. Song Yuanbai's gloomy face finally showed a smile, and there was a faint murderous intent in his heart, he was thinking about what to do with Ye Tian.
And among the new disciples, the vast majority of them looked at Ye Tian with a look in their eyes, already a dead person, full of pity and disdain. No matter how talented Ye Tian is, if he doesn't understand human feelings, he will die sooner or later.
Finally, Zhao Yan came back to his senses, and used his profound skills to suppress the restless Zhenyuan, in the Patriarch Palace, Ye Tian could be presumptuous, but he couldn't follow suit, so he saw his gloomy eyes, stared at Ye Tian and shouted: "Since you don't want to apprentice, then why do you come to Confucianism?" Now hurry up and let me out, the Patriarch Hall is a holy place for Confucianism, how can any cat or dog come in!"
Everyone had long guessed that Zhao Yan would not tolerate Ye Tian, and at this time, someone nodded approvingly: "Such arrogant people should be driven out, without respect for their superiors." ”
"Yes, if you stay in the sect, sooner or later you will deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, and there are no examples in history. ”
"If it were me, I would have abolished his cultivation, would this kind of madman still stay in the world and harm people? Zhao Yan is still too merciful. ”
"Do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself, Confucianism is orthodox in the world, and it naturally has its own demeanor. ”
Many of the people who came to attend the ceremony were old friends of Zhao Yan, and Ye Tian was just a new disciple, so everyone was naturally oriented towards Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan became more and more proud, brushing his beard, seeing that Ye Tian was motionless, as if he was pondering something, he couldn't help but say angrily: "You still don't get out, do you really think that my Confucianism is a place of charity, can you be allowed to be presumptuous?" I will tell you, not only will Confucianism not accept you, but no sect in the world will accept such a disobedient person as you!"
Ye Tian's eyes flashed with anger, and he became more and more impatient with Zhao Yan, such a Confucian sect, a cloud of black smoke and miasma, it is okay not to stay. Although he wanted to collect the six realms of peerlessness, he didn't have to be Confucian, but he had an agreement with Ouyang Pu, and because of the relationship between his father and the old mayor, he came to Confucianism to apprentice.
He was about to speak, when suddenly a burst of laughter came from outside the ancestral hall: "Haha, God really helps me, Confucianism doesn't want it, Lao Tzu wants it." ”
When everyone looked over, they saw a sloppy old Taoist swaggering in, looking at Ye Tian with bright eyes, and said happily: "Boy, you finally understand, right? Confucianism is sour and smelly, and there are many rules to die, what's so good." It's better to follow me, and from now on you will have a beautiful woman and be at ease, wouldn't it be happy. ”
Lu Qingshan's Taoist robe was tattered and full of stains, and the smile on his face was as obscene as it was, and he looked like a charlatan, and when he came in, many people looked strange.
"Who are you, why did you trespass into my Confucian Patriarch's Palace?"
Zhao Yan asked unhappily, he really didn't connect Lu Qingshan with the Qingshan real person of the Qingxiao Sword Sect for a while, Lu Qingshan was playing the world, and he was unkempt at the moment, and he didn't beat him out as a flower, which was already the result of Zhao Yan's patience.
Lu Qingshan said with a smile: "I didn't trespass, someone led me in." ”
