Chapter 25: The Ceremony of Apprenticeship
On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the day of ascending to worship ancestors.
On this day, the sky was cloudless, and the autumn air was crisp.
The auspicious and evil of this day is recorded in the photo book as follows: the five elements, the sword edge is golden, the closed position, the fetal god is in the southwest, the fierce god is jealous, the blood branch, the wandering disaster, the five separations, the white tiger, the chong tiger, the south of the sha.
Don't: open the light, open the market, trade, travel.
Appropriate: sacrifice, tailoring, crowning, marrying, breaking ground, and entering the house.
On this day, it is not only Zhou Hao's promotion to the inner door, but also the big day for Zhou Hao to officially worship Xi Jinping as a teacher!
As the Great Elder of the Mixed Yuan Sect, Xi Jinshan wants to accept closed disciples, which is a big deal inside and outside the sect.
Du Tianfeng, on the square in front of the Mixed Yuan Wuji Palace.
At the foot of the huge jade statue of the Dingtian Patriarch, a high color platform was erected early. Under the color platform, there are more than 100 brocade couch wooden chairs, which are reserved for the big people who come to watch the ceremony.
The ceremony of receiving disciples is set at noon, but early in the morning, some people or rely on cultivation to break through the sky directly and go straight to the Dutian Peak thousands of zhang high;
There are still a small number of people who can't cultivate, and they must take the silver-winged Dapeng eagle to climb to the top of Dutian Peak.
There was still more than half an hour before noon, and almost all of the more than 100 big people who came to watch the ceremony had arrived. Among these people, most of them were mid- and high-level spiritual martial cultivators, but there were also a few merchants, and even a few officials sent by the Northern Yan Imperial Court.
These mid- and high-level spiritual martial cultivators, whether they belong to the sect or outside the sect, any one of them is a giant who calls for wind and rain and dominates one side. Those businessmen are also dressed up as bigwigs of the largest trading houses in the world. Even if it is an official sent by the Northern Yan Imperial Court. At least they are high-ranking officials above the third grade, and they can be high above the court, and they can supervise one party!
They are all coming for the name of the Great Elder Xi Jinshan, excluding the Taishang Sect who has long been ignoring mundane matters, and the Great Elder Xi is one of the two most powerful people within a radius of tens of thousands of miles. Even the monarch of Beiyan is just a chicken and a dog in front of him!
Ordinary. It was rare for them to get a glimpse of Elder Xi's true face, and it would be of great benefit to take this opportunity to get acquainted with each other.
"Brother Zhao! I didn't expect you to come, fortunately, fortunately!"
A face wide ear fat. A man who is short and fat, dressed as a rich man, hugs his fists with a smile, and rushes at a high-level spiritual martial cultivator with a strong body and a lion nose and a wide mouth.
The lion-nosed and broad-mouthed man's face changed slightly, but he also hugged his fists and said, "Brother Qian, I didn't expect to see you here!"
After a closer look, the person dressed as a rich man was also a high-level spiritual martial cultivator! I only heard him laugh and said, "I am fortunate enough to be invited to participate in the great apprenticeship ceremony of the Great Elder of the Mixed Yuan Sect, how can I not come?"
One of these two people is named Qian Sihai. One is named Zhao Fangxuan, who is the head of the Qingyunmen and the Lingxiao faction respectively.
Although the power of Qingyunmen and Lingxiao Sect is far inferior to that of the Mixed Yuan Sect, their strength is not weak. Within the sect, there are high-level spiritual martial cultivators. In the middle sect, it can be regarded as the dominant side. Moreover, the two sects are not far apart, and there is a faint meaning of competing with each other in private. Coincidentally, the two happened to be arranged to sit together!
However, when they gathered on Dutian Peak today, the two heads did not show the slightest hostility, but talked and laughed. A look of a happy conversation.
"Brother Qian, I heard that Elder Xi has never accepted any more apprentices in the past 20 years. Since Zhou Zhuo's accidental death, he has extinguished the idea of accepting apprentices. Why would you accept a little-known kid as a closed disciple today?"
"I heard that that unknown kid named Zhou Hao only joined the Mixed Yuan Sect half a year ago, and he is not even an official inner disciple. Maybe it's because Zhou Hao's talent is amazing, or maybe it's a big deal, so Elder Xi moved the idea of accepting apprentices again. ”...,
"Hehe, Brother Qian, you are really well-informed! But even if Zhou Hao is so big this time, can he be as big as the Mixed Yuan Sect? Even if he is a direct descendant of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family, I'm afraid he won't let Elder Xi personally take him as an apprentice!"
"Brother Zhao is right, it's probably because of Zhou Hao's amazing talent! Those who can be accepted as a closed disciple by Elder Xi are probably not under that Zhou Zhuo!"
"Zhou Zhuo Zhou Hao! Hehe, what's the connection?"
Qian Sihai's face tightened, he turned his head to look at the inner disciples of the Mixed Yuan Sect standing around him, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhao, be cautious! Zhou Zhuo's matter is a taboo topic in the Mixed Yuan Sect. I heard that some time ago, an elder of the outer sect of the Mixed Yuan Sect was directly raided and destroyed because of his involvement in this matter! If I annoy the Mixed Yuan Sect, what is my Qingyun Sect and your Lingxiao Sect?"
Zhao Fangxuan broke out in cold sweat on his head, slapped himself hard and scraped his ear, and said in a low voice: "Look at my mouth, lying and talking!"
Qian Sihai nodded, and said with a relieved smile: "During this period of time, there have been demonic geniuses in several major sects, and they have been born! In addition to Xia Yuanhui and Guan Yao, there is now another Zhou Hao in the Mixed Yuan Sect. Hehe, the world is really changing, and it's very hot!"
Zhao Fangxuan's thick brows twitched, and he said with envy: "Alas, the three major sects and the Xuanyuan Imperial Family have exhausted the world's talents. Sects like you and me, whether they are up or down, are getting more and more embarrassing!"
"The world is changing, and seeing that chaos is about to arise, most of it is another process of reshuffling the cards and redividing the sphere of influence. Sects like you and me must be cautious and try their best to cultivate the younger generation, if they can produce one or two real geniuses, they may have a chance to rise in the future!"
"It's not easy to talk about, it's easy to talk about! Not to mention demons like Lei Aotian and Xia Yuanhui, even if they are second-class outstanding disciples, they are still unattainable!"
"Well, the will of heaven is unpredictable, and it's not that there is no chance to stop talking, the time has come, and the main one has appeared!"
Qian Sihai and Zhao Fangxuan stopped whispering, raised their heads and looked at the two-zhang high color platform.
I saw that on the color platform, a burst of figures flickered, and out of thin air, six more figures wearing the standard yellow shirts of the inner disciples of the Mixed Yuan Sect came.
These six figures are tall and short, fat and thin, divided into two columns, left and right, and stand on both sides of the color stage.
On the left hand side is the first person, with red phoenix eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, face like heavy jujubes, long and majestic, two steps forward, bowed to everyone in the audience, and said loudly: "The great elder of the inner gate of the Mixed Yuan Sect, the great disciple of Xi Jinping, the great disciple of the mountain, Li Guanyun, has seen all the seniors!"
Most of the people sitting in the audience didn't dare to take it big, so they got up and saluted back.
I only heard Li Guanyun hugging his fists and saying: "The younger generation is here, the acting master has thanked all the elders, and they have come to watch the entrance ceremony of the little junior brother!"
Seeing that everyone in the audience gradually quieted down, Li Guanyun turned around and said loudly in the direction of the Mixed Yuan Wuji Palace: "Please invite the Great Sect Master of the Mixed Yuan Sect, Xia Jinglei, the Great Elder Xi Jinshan!" (to be continued)
