Early the next morning, Qi Xuansu and the Zhang family went to the "Jade Plain" of Ziweitang.

All guests can enter Zifu Ziwei Hall with the invitation letter, and then go from Ziwei Hall to Kunlun Dongtian's "Jade Plain", although many guests are frequent visitors to Zifu, but there are also many people who come to Zifu for the first time, which is considered to be stained.

As soon as Qi Xuansu and his party arrived at the door of Ziwei Hall, two deputy hall masters stepped forward to congratulate them.

Qi Xuansu asked Zhang Yuelu to take his father-in-law and mother-in-law and Xiao Yin to the "Jade Plain" first, and he stayed here to greet the guests. After all, this is not a marriage, Qi Xuansu, the party, has nothing to prepare, and there is no need to hide in it like a newcomer.

There was nothing to say about this process, but Qi Xuansu met an unexpected and reasonable guest, Yao Pei.

Yao Pei is a disciple of Donghua Zhenren, so of course it is reasonable for her to come.

But Qi Xuansu's apprenticeship will make Yao Pei very embarrassed, in a sense, Donghua Zhenren wants to replace Yao Pei with Qi Xuansu. It's not that Donghua Zhenren has an opinion about Yao Pei, but that Donghua Zhenren is unwilling to make the transition of the Yao family.

Qi Xuansu thought that Yao Pei would make an excuse not to come, but he didn't expect to come, so he said that it was unexpected.

"Suyi, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" Qi Xuansu asked stylized.

Yao Pei still has an unchanged Xuansheng card face: "Tianyuan, after today, you will call me senior sister." ”

Qi Xuansu said: "If you call your position in public, you should call me Chief Qi." As for private, we can talk about our own things, I call you senior sister, and you call me cousin. ”

Yao Pei said expressionlessly: "Let's still use the table words." ”

Qi Xuansu turned sideways: "Please go in, the real person is waiting in the 'Jade Plain'." ”

Yao Pei didn't say anything more and walked into Ziwei Hall.

People's hearts are changeable, and at this time, the people of Ziweitang greeted Yao Pei, although they were still enthusiastic and couldn't find anything wrong, but compared with before, there was always a little difference.

Anyway, Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei, neither of them can afford to offend, both of them are people with status, of course they won't be like anything on the surface, but it's hard to guarantee whether they will do something secretly, even if they don't do anything, if they are a little angry, they are easy to anger others. What kind of fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, what gods fought and mortals suffered, it has already been said that it is rotten.

Of course, the people of Ziwei Hall are not offended on both sides.

After Yao Pei, another special guest came to the door.

Li Changge, he didn't come with Qingwei Zhenren, he came with Princess Zhiying - the latter is the adopted daughter of Emperor Daxuan and one of the participants in the marriage of Qin and Li.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no matter how reluctant Li Changge was, he still accepted his fate, just like Qingwei Zhenren, no matter how he looked down on the family elders when he was young, he still had to compromise in the end.

Having said that, the Li family always produced this kind of person, who was rebellious when he was young and finally compromised with the family.

Qi Xuansu took the initiative to step forward: "Brother Yongyan, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" ”

Li Changge smiled slightly: "Everything is fine, congratulations to Brother Tianyuan Dao." I heard that Brother Tianyuan's trip to the New World was another big one, and I regretted that I could not go to the New World. ”

Qi Xuansu said slowly: "The ancients wrote poetry: Xing, the people are bitter. Death, the people suffer. However, as the saying goes, it is better to be a peace dog than a troubled world. In any case, it is better to rise than to die. The so-called great show of strength and resist the Holy Court is only half of it, and the other half is to help the Southern Continent get out of poverty and move towards civilization, Brother Yongyan Dao does not have to regret it, there will be more opportunities in the future. ”

Li Changge was noncommittal, as a member of the Li family, of course he did not agree. Qi Xuansu said this on purpose, and he said it in a high-sounding manner.

Princess Zhiying said: "But if you want to help the Southern Continent get out of poverty, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money?" This money is all Daomen's money, even if it is ...... brother."

"Brother, of course you have to settle accounts!" Huang Fuji's voice suddenly interjected, "The so-called win-win cooperation is to take what you need." One side unilaterally suffers losses, and the other side unilaterally benefits, that is called plunder, and only when both sides do not suffer losses and both sides benefit, can it be called development. It's just that this benefit may not be reflected in the simple peace money, land, resources, and people's hearts. ”

Qi Xuansu took the opportunity to change the topic: "Brother Huangfu Dao has also arrived." ”

Huang Fuji even wanted to learn Westerners to have a Western-style hug etiquette, but in the end he still gave up: "Congratulations to Tianyuan." ”

Li Changge was still smiling, nodded to Huangfu Ji, and then walked into Ziwei Hall with Princess Zhiying.

Huangfu looked at Li Changge's back: "The famous little national teacher, the kung fu of qi cultivation is not bad. ”

Qi Xuansu said softly: "In the three shows of the Daomen, it belongs to your Qingxiao brothers and sisters who can't cultivate qi and kung fu, they are straight-tempered." The other two are not the kind of characters who want to look down on you at every turn, shouting and shouting to kill, the family is very good, but the elites carefully cultivated by the family are difficult to say. ”

Huangfu didn't say anything more, and walked into Ziwei Hall.

The further back you go, the heavier the portion of the guest becomes.

First of all, you know the real people, such as Zhang Jicheng, Yao Shu, Qi Jiaozheng, Ye Qingshuang and others. Then there are several Pingzhang real people and special reference real people, Cihang real people, and Qingwei real people.

Jiang Da Zhenren, Shi Da Zhenren, Lan Da Zhenren, plus the old man Sun Hewu, several people came together, it seems that these old people have been drinking last night. The old people don't necessarily like to drink, nor do they think that drinking is free, they have passed the age of drinking and being handsome decades ago, just using the strength of wine to open the conversation, eliminate barriers, shorten the distance, and then reminisce about the past together. After all, age is here, whether it is soaring or sitting, the time in this world is getting less and less, and the mood is naturally different.

The four old men all have a good relationship with Qi Xuansu, and they can't help but congratulate the older generation.

Then there were two princes, who didn't bring a secretary, Cihang Zhenren brought the little apprentice Xiao Yueru, and Qingwei Zhenren brought the righteous daughter Li Zhuyu.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the two real people happened to arrive at the same time.

"In addition to congratulating Donghua Zhenren, I also want to congratulate Cihang Zhenren." Qingwei Zhenren spoke first, as if the verbal conflict in the Jinque meeting had never happened.

Cihang Zhenren deliberately pretended not to understand: "What do you mean by Qingwei Zhenren?" ”

Qingwei Zhenren: "Tianyuan and Qingxiao have set an alliance between Qin and Jin, such as today's Yuan apprenticeship Donghua Zhenren, Cihang Zhenren and Donghua Zhenren are in-laws, don't you congratulate?" ”

"I heard that Yongyan and Zhiying's family affair is also going to be decided, although Yongyan's seniority is high, but from the perspective of Taoism, you are his teacher, and I want to congratulate you." Cihang Zhenren said with a smile.

"Tongxi." Qingwei Zhenren was still smiling.

As they spoke, they both climbed the steps.

Qi Xuansu greeted them, saluted the two, and then invited the two to come in.

Qi Xuansu was the last to enter the "Jade Plain", and the venue had already been arranged.

There are many exotic beasts called "earth wisps" here, with four horns on the head of sheep. There is also a sacred bird named "Qinyuan" in the air, which is like a bee and as big as a mandarin duck. If it is stung by it, any bird or beast will die, and any tree will wither.

This is the guard of Kunlun Cave Heaven, quite powerful, when the enlightened six witches entered Kunlun Cave Heaven and clashed with Lu Wu God, many of the great witches they accompanied were killed by these two strange beasts.

In addition to the guards, there are also many white cranes swaying upward, circling and flying in the air, and the cranes chirp in bursts.

It is the big white crane that Xiao Yin misses in his heart, the kind that can carry people.

Xiao Yin is pointing at the white crane in the air: "Big white crane!" Big White Crane! ”

It's not that Xiao Yin hasn't seen the world, Xiao Yin's subtext is not surprise, but wanting. She didn't want the big white goose at all.

Many of the high-level Daomen present, but they did not express surprise at Xiao Yin, after all, there are still people from Qingqiu Mountain here, and not all of them are people.

There are also many auspicious beasts walking on the meadow, and flowers bloom everywhere they pass.

Daomen does not pursue luxury, not that he doesn't want to, but he can't, and the word "thrifty" is pressed on it. Therefore, Donghua Zhenren chose the "Jade Plain", which can use rare and exotic beasts, these are brought by Kunlun Cave Heaven, and they can be used repeatedly, which cannot be regarded as extravagant and wasteful.

This time, Ziweitang did not prepare seats, and everyone was standing.

Only a chair was set up, which was used by Donghua Zhenren to sit and receive salutes when the ceremony was held.

Fortunately, Taoism emphasizes equality, not only abolished all kinds of lowly and slave status, but also promoted the status of female Taoist priests, and abolished it along with kneeling and worshipping. Qi Xuansu doesn't have to kneel three times and knock nine times, it's Confucian dross, just do it.

The logic in this is consistent, and the monarch and the minister, the father and the son, are all wrong. Heaven and earth are the king's own teacher, and the king and father have been denied, and it makes no sense that the teacher will be an exception. It's just that there is an extremely long master-apprentice inheritance within the Daomen, and it is not good to directly abolish the master-apprentice relationship, but in order to weaken the master-apprentice relationship, a series of regulations have been made, including the collective teaching mechanism of the Vientiane Dao Palace and other Dao Palaces, the abolition of the master-apprentice bow, and the apprenticeship can only be apprenticed after leaving the Dao Palace, etc., all in order to weaken the so-called master-apprentice such as father and son.

However, the power of tradition and inertia is still strong, and many people still regard the master-apprentice relationship as a very important relationship, as evidenced by the fact that Donghua Zhenren can have such a battle at this apprenticeship ceremony.

As soon as Qi Xuansu came in, two female Taoist priests of Ziweitang immediately greeted him to check whether there was any problem with Qi Xuansu's clothing and appearance, and it was an exaggeration that the two even took a makeup box and a sewing thread bag, and if there was any accident, they had to repair it on the spot. After confirming that it was correct, the two asked Qi Xuansu to wait for the time being.

At this time, Donghua Zhenren was speaking, which probably meant to thank all the guests for coming, and it was mostly a cliché. The people present, except for Xiao Yin and a few others, almost everyone can speak, everyone can speak.

When he finished speaking, Qi Xuansu stepped forward and walked through the carpeted aisle between the guests, and at the end of the carpet was Donghua Zhenren sitting on a chair.

All the etiquette of Taoism is simple, and it opposes the cumbersomeness of Confucianism.

When there was still three zhang away from the chair, Qi Xuansu paused, gathered his clothes and looked upright, and then stepped forward to salute.

Donghua real people accept it.

Qi Xuansu offered the apprenticeship again, and Donghua returned the salute.

Courtesy.
