Two days later, in the morning, when Lingwu had just finished cultivating, Xia Yu came in to tell him that the master had sent someone to pass on the word. Let Lingwu get ready, and in an hour he will go to the Longwei Hou Mansion to attend the banquet, Lu An and He Jian have already arranged the car and guards, and ask the little master to change his clothes as soon as possible. Xia Yu hurriedly waited for him, put on a moon-white delicate robe, tied up his loose hair, and tied it into a purple crown of sons. When the group came to the gate of the courtyard, there was already an armchair waiting outside, Lingwu sat up, and the four guards carried it to the master's courtyard first.

Seeing that the two uncles in the middle courtyard were already waiting inside, Lingwu hurriedly stepped forward to greet his uncle. The second uncle returned the salute with a smile, and the eldest uncle reached out to take his hand and asked with concern: "Are you still used to living in your uncle's yard?" Do you sleep at night? If you have anything missing, you must tell your aunt and uncle. At this time, Old Man Zhang was coming out of the door, and he heard his uncle and nephew talking, and said with a smile: "Rulong has become more careful now, and he knows how to care about people." Everyone stepped forward to salute and greet him, and Uncle Rulong replied with a smile: "Father is so precious to him, how can we not care about Lingwu?" It's not that I've become careful, it's that you're biased, father. The family laughed, the second uncle Rufeng helped the old man to get into the sedan chair, and the others sat on the armchairs, surrounded by their own guards, and the group headed towards the Hou Mansion.

The Master's Mansion is not far from the Hou Mansion, and although everyone walked slowly, it only took half an hour to arrive at the gate of the Hou Mansion of Longwei. The first time Lingwu came here, he saw that the walls on both sides of the gate were about four meters high, all made of neat rectangular bluestone, thick and solid, permeated with the vicissitudes of time. The gate is six or seven meters high, a huge plaque is hung on it, the four words of "Longwei Houfu" on it, all of them are like a big fight, the pen is like a knife like a sword, it makes people's hearts beat, such as the battlefield, which shows the master's skill.

In front of the gate, there is already a sea of people, the officials of the Hou State have been waiting here, one of them is wearing a black official uniform embroidered with a unicorn, and a red crown inlaid with jewels on his head, which is extremely majestic, and has a domineering spirit without revealing it. This person is Ji Changwu, the Marquis of Long Wei, and he is followed by three sons.

Seeing the arrival of Master Zhang's sedan chair, Long Weihou took a few steps forward, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to open the curtain, such as Long Rufeng helping his father to get off the sedan chair. Zhang Yuzhang hurriedly stepped forward to salute and pay respects: "Lord Lao Hou moved his body of ten thousand gold, and Yuzhang is guilty." ”

"The master worked hard for the country, traveled tens of thousands of miles, and pacified the Hongning Rebellion in one fell swoop.

"Hou Ye has won the award, please Hou Ye first."

Everyone surrounded Long Weihou and Master Zhang from the gate, and Lingwu also followed everyone into the Hou Mansion, and the group went straight to the main hall. The area of this house is very large, look at it in front, only to see the pavilions and pavilions are innumerable, all are red walls and yellow tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, golden and brilliant, I don't know how deep the courtyard is. In front is a very large square, a large hall in the middle of the face, higher than the left and right palaces, there is a plaque hanging on the main entrance of the palace, the three words of the Shenwu Palace, Lingwu thinks that this is probably the place where Long Weihou meets his subordinates to discuss state affairs.

When you enter the hall, the inside is extremely wide, and the red pillars are lined up, and the fragrance is lingering. There is a plaque hanging on the front with the four characters of the god descending from heaven, below the plaque is a high platform, a wide chair is placed in the middle of the high platform, the chair is all made of ebony, carved with patterns like dragons and tigers, it is very majestic. To the right of this chair is a smaller chair with a carved cloud-like pattern. Long Weihou took the master's hand and walked up to the high platform, personally helped him to the chair on the right and sat down, and he only walked a few steps to the big chair in the center and sat down. Everyone below had already stood up, and when they saw Long Weihou sitting down, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted: "Hou Ye is mighty." ”

"Everyone, please take a seat" Long Weihou's majestic voice came from the stage, and everyone replied: "Thank you", and then sat down in turn. When Lingwu first came, he didn't know where to sit at a loss, and he was at a loss. But seeing that the fair people on the stage were waving to him, Long Weihou also spoke at this time: "Lingwu come up and set up a seat for Lingwu next to the master." ”

In the surprised eyes of everyone in the audience, Lingwu walked up to the high platform, saluted to Hou Ye and said, "Thank you Hou Ye for giving him a seat", and then came to his grandfather's side and sat down on the small chair that the Hou Mansion guards had just added.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have gathered you today in the Shenwu Hall for two happy events. First, the master quelled the slave rebellion in Hongning Mansion and returned triumphantly. The second is that the master is going to accept the disciples who are closed today. No matter which of these two things is, it is a great joy for my Hou Kingdom. Now let's ask the master to tell us about the situation. ”

Zhang Yuzhang coughed, cleared his throat, and said slowly: "Yuzhang entrusted the Hou Ye's Hongfu this time, and successfully quelled the rebellion of the slaves in Hongning Mansion, and the nearby provinces contributed a lot. It is said to be a happy event, but it is actually a bad thing. The impact of this riot was great, the chaos in Hongning was in chaos, the family of the lord of the mansion was killed, the nobles were destroyed and even sold into slavery, the city was destroyed, and the lives were ruined. In such a tragic situation, you should think carefully, what is the reason for such chaos? If you want to say that there are indeed happy events, I went to Hongning Mansion this time and met Zhao Lingwu, the son of Zhao Wu, the lord of Fumian Mansion, who came to help quell the chaos, and he was the young man next to me. I don't want him to have a good talent for spiritual cultivation, I like him very much, so I want to accept him as an apprentice. Everyone also knows how difficult it is for me to find a disciple, maybe God saw that I was too old and couldn't bear to have no one to inherit my mantle, so he sent me an apprentice. This should be my only disciple, so I will trouble Master Hou and you to be a witness. ”

"Well, the spirits are hard to find. Being able to preside over the ceremony of accepting apprentices and apprentices is the glory of my Ji Changwu's life. Long Weihou stood up excitedly: "Then I will reluctantly preside over the master's apprenticeship ceremony." ”

"The apprenticeship ceremony of Master Zhang Yuzhang of the Longwei Hou Kingdom begins now! The sky is above, the earth is below, all things are left and right, today there are great spiritual scholars Zhang Yuzhang and spiritual boy Zhao Lingwu want to become masters and apprentices, please the sky and the earth and all things to testify. ”

Zhang Yuzhang stood up, took Lingwu's hand, took the incense handed over by the servant and gave it to Lingwu, and the two stood still in the direction of the gate. I only heard Long Weihou shout in a long voice: "One respects the sky, the second respects the earth, and the third respects all things." ”

The two of them pinched incense with both hands and bowed deeply three times. Long Weihou said again: "Respect the teacher and make a big salute." Zhang Yuzhang returned to his seat and sat upright, Lingwu knelt on his knees, touched the ground with his head and hands, made three big salutes, and said loudly: "Apprentice Zhao Lingwu is willing to worship the master, one day as an apprentice, a lifelong apprentice, please take the master in!" After receiving the three great gifts from Lingwu, Master Zhang stood up and helped him up with both hands, and said loudly: "I, Zhang Yuzhang, am willing to accept Zhao Lingwu as an apprentice, and pass on the mantle of the great spirit warrior, and be a teacher for one day and a teacher for life." ”

"Licheng! Please invite the master and apprentice to greet everyone. ”
