Chapter 4: Apprenticeship Ceremony

The official place of apprenticeship was chosen in the Mingyan Hall on the top of the mountain, if he didn't know that he was in the underworld, Yao Jiuyou really felt that he had strayed into the ancient martial arts world.

The old immortal sat in the main seat of the hall, and Jin Cheng, who called himself the senior brother, stood beside his seat, looking down.

In fact, unlike the image of the elder brother that Yao Jiuyou would imagine when he read the novel, Jin Cheng's figure is even thinner than Shen Yuan. To say that it sounds good is lean, and to say it badly, it is if it is not weathered.

He was dressed in a golden silk robe, and he looked like a young man from a noble family. The kind that doesn't know the world and is idle. However, judging from his behavior of stopping karma from apprenticeship on the spot just now, he is a good hand in mediating the relationship between people and should not be underestimated.

The four teenagers except Jin Cheng each took out the spirit beads, and after Jin Cheng checked them one by one, he whispered to the old fairy of the main seat for a while.

The Netherworld Monarch opened his eyes, glanced down, clamped his long white beard between his two fingers, stroked it, and said something quite casually, "Which is the second?" ”

According to the order of gold, wood, water, fire and soil, the metallic Jin Cheng is the boss, so the second is naturally the pine and cypress with wood attributes.

I saw Songbai take a step forward and kneel down to bow to the teacher. He claimed that he was from Suiyang City in the underworld, and his adoptive father was a doctor ghost, so he learned some skills in soothing flowers and herbs and refining medicine since he was a child.

His wood spirit bead is a single bead, and his homemade herbs are packed in a purse, and when he walks, the beads and the medicine bottle collide with each other, making a crisp sound.

Netherworld nodded slightly, Songbai only felt that the back of his hand with homemade herbs was suddenly itchy, he gently brushed away the herbs, and saw that the back of his hand that was originally red and swollen was already intact.

"This-" Songbai was overjoyed, and gave the Netherworld Monarch a big snort.

The Nether's gaze moved to Shen Yuan, and Shen Yuan handed Yao Jiuyou into Ye Yuan's arms, and after Ye Yan took it with a disgusted face, Shen Yuan happily picked up his clothes and saluted.

According to Shen Yuan, he has lived by the Stygian Sea for as long as he can remember, and he has been alone for a long time.

"It's a calm child." After receiving this salute, the Netherworld King first let Shen Yuan get up, and then looked at Yao Jiuyou and Ye Yan with interest because they disliked each other, and the back of their heads was against Ye Yan.

After Yao Jiuyou returned to Shen Yuan's arms, the Netherworld Monarch told Shen Yuan quite meaningfully, "Some burdens can't be easily let go. ”

Shen Yuan pondered for a moment and then replied, "She is a life, not a dead thing. ”

In the eyes of several other people, they may feel that Shen Yuan is bold and dares to correct Master's words and push Master's mouth.

But the Nether Lord didn't get angry, but instead stroked his beard with two fingers with a smile, not paying attention.

Before it was Blazing Sun's turn to salute, Blazing Yang helped the crown of his hair before kneeling down upright.

Before coming to Mingyan Hall, everyone hadn't noticed that his spirit bead was set on the crown of his hair. When the spirit bead is not bright, it looks no different from ordinary gemstones. There are a lot of fabrics and accessories on the clothes worn by Blazing Yang, but in comparison, Lingzhu is actually the most inconspicuous.

After Blazing Yang finished worshipping his teacher, he took out a few gold ingots from the money bag on his waist and beckoned to Jincheng.

Jin Cheng didn't understand what he meant, and Blazing Yang proudly crossed his waist and said, "This is the magic weapon that my father specially gave me before I went out, it looks like a mundane thing in the world, but it actually seals endless spiritual power." Since Master has been cultivating for many years, why don't you try to take out all the spiritual power in this gold ingot, as my apprenticeship, how about it? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone had their own plans in their hearts.

Others didn't give gifts when they apprenticed, and Blazing Yang set this precedent, so that those who had worshipped the teacher and those who had not worshipped the teacher could not get off the stage.

Except for Songbai, who is very familiar with Blazing Yang's style and dismisses it, Yao Jiuyou, Ye Yan and Jin Chengdu have no way to guess Blazing Yang's true intentions.

And what about Shen Yuan? Yao Jiuyou was worried about her. Considering that the Nether-King, who had cultivated for many years, was present at a glance, and there was no way to make small moves, she didn't say anything, but the emotions expressed on her face were unobstructed.

Jin Cheng simply cast a spell with a puzzled face, and took the gold ingots into his hands in the air, and handed them to the Netherworld King without looking at them.

The Netherworld King looked at the gold ingot, and then at Jin Cheng, "What do you show me?" You're the only one here. ”

"Me?" Jin Cheng withdrew his hand and said confidently, "That's just right, let me try the newly learned spell." ”

Then everyone saw that the gold ingots turned into powder in Jin Cheng's hands, and then she waved her hand and floated in the air with the gold dust, and when she met any of them, it was as if she had been absorbed into her body and disappeared without a trace.

Even Yao Jiuyou's small and powerless body was vaguely aware of the spiritual power flowing in the blood.

Blazing Yang was stunned to accept the scattered spiritual power, and in the spirit of not wasting it, he simply breathed on the spot.

As the adopted son of the lord of a city in the underworld, Blazing Sun has been exposed to spells for a long time and has obtained more resources than anyone else, so he sacrificed his magic weapon when they first met, in fact, he just wanted to see how strong the Netherworld Lord was.

Before he came to Xudu, he didn't know the details of his future master. Even his father said that he had never heard of the Five Elements Sect in the underworld. But he still came, the purpose of which was naturally to gamble, to really learn the skills and become stronger.

Who knew that this senior brother's ability was even more powerful than he imagined. He asked himself that his ability was not as good as Jin Cheng's, and his "test" on the master was not successful, it was really a failure.

Ignoring Blazing Sun's wonderful face, Jin Cheng invited the Netherworld Monarch to take credit, "Master, how about this arrangement?" ”

- Everyone has gained spiritual power, how is this arrangement?

The Nether Monarch smiled silently and looked at the last apprentice.

Ye Yan rubbed his hands together, as if to say, "It's finally my turn." His apprenticeship was in a proper manner, and when he got up after the ceremony, he couldn't wait to ask, "Master, Master, can I know what your name is?" He asked cautiously.

"Is it important?" A gust of wind blew, and the Netherworld Monarch had come to the eyes of karma at some point. was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, "It's not important, it's not important, your old man is the most powerful." ”

The Nether Lord paced slowly in front of a line of five people with his hands behind his back.

He didn't speak hard, but his voice clearly came into everyone's ears, "I don't know how many years I have lived for my teacher, probably I was alive when the heavens and the earth were chaotic. I didn't expect that today, many years later, the teacher would take the initiative to ask Ying to teach you little dolls, just because you are burdened with the future of the underworld. ”

He turned his head and stared at Yao Jiuyou with deep meaning: "Even the original five apprentices have become six. ”

Shen Yuan said unhurriedly: "Master, she can't salute. ”

"It's not broken, it's good." Nether Monarch casually judged Yao Jiuyou's legs.

Yao Jiuyou listened, and hope ignited in his eyes. Wouldn't it be better for them to take the initiative to bring up the problem of her leg than for her to go to the trouble of asking someone else to help her?

As long as there is an opportunity to walk freely, of course she must seize it.

She struggled a few times and motioned for Shen Yuan to let her down.

This stumped Shen Yuan. I saw him frown slightly, and replaced her with his hands flat, but he didn't know where to put it, and his eyes slowly moved to the seat of the Netherworld.

Seeing that he didn't let himself go for a long time, Yao Jiuyou was about to say his thoughts directly to the Netherworld, but he found that his whole body was light, and he left Shen Yuan's side, and even had a tendency to rise out of thin air.

"How can she fly? So powerful! Ye Yan shouted.

Yao Jiuyou obviously felt that there was something under her buttocks, but because she was getting farther and farther away from the ground, she had no time to care about what she was sitting on.

Because she has been afraid of heights since she was a child. I can't get close to the edge of the height, and when I look down, I feel dizzy and want to vomit, and I've had an old problem for many years.

The crowd below didn't know how she felt. Except for Jin Cheng, the other four senior brothers did not know how to fly with a sword, and at first glance, Yao Jiuyou was flying around in the air in a sitting position, all of them were surprised.

Yao Jiuyou had already closed his eyes, as if he was resigned to fate. Seeing her sucking her loose hair over her face, the Nether King smiled slightly when she desperately stopped herself from looking down.

Shen Yuan saw that the situation was not good, and after gently reciting the decision, he stretched out his hand, and with the release of spiritual power, Yao Jiu was leisurely fixed in the air.

The dullness in the back of her head gradually disappeared, and her heartbeat gradually returned to normal, but Yao Jiuyou was still stiff and unable to move, and not screaming was the last stubbornness she had to maintain her image.

Only then did everyone see what Yao Jiuyou was sitting on, it was a magic weapon made of white jade bones as a fan page, which seemed to have spirituality, and after being frozen by Shen Yuan and unable to fly freely, it gradually turned into a red color that expressed anger.

"Unacceptable?" The Nether Monarch ordered Yao Jiuyou to descend slowly, and the jade fan returned to normal.

Shen Yuan caught the fan, and Yao Jiuyou hurriedly let Shen Yuan hold it.

Ye Yan grabbed Yao Jiuyou's little shoulder, wanting to turn her over to face him, "Does it feel good to fly?" I always thought you were a nightingale elf, but who knew you were afraid of heights? Then how will you practice in the future and watch us fly? You can't let Shen Yuan hold you for the rest of your life, you will always grow up. ”

"She'll always grow up and she'll always be free." After the Nether Monarch finished speaking, he motioned for Shen Yuan to put Yao Jiuyou on the jade fan again.

Shen Yuan tried to dial her, but she buried her head in Shen Yuan's neck, unwilling to face it.

Shen Yuan was helpless, so he had to sit on the jade fan with himself.

I don't know if it's because of the spell cast by the Netherworld, the jade fan didn't rise this time, and the speed of movement was not as fast as just now, and it slowly advanced and retreated in the position where Shen Yuan's legs were hanging normally, not far from the ground.

"Xiao Liu'er obeyed the order and accepted the gift from the teacher, and he was going to salute the teacher," the Netherworld Monarch straightened his face, "Thinking that you are young, in the future, you will use the wide fan as a mount, and you can cultivate in this Five Elements Sect." ”

Yao Jiuyou then looked over and looked at where he was. After receiving gifts from others and relieving the fear of heights, she didn't need to be ignorant, so she explained her origin in a straight way:

"My name is Jiuyou, and I was picked up by two senior brothers on Yin Yang Road just now. I don't know where I came from, and I don't know what I'm supposed to do—"

As she said this, all the dots were strung together in her mind.

Because, she finally remembered the name "Shen Yuan", where did the name "Jiuyou" appear at the same time.

It was a fantasy novel called "Jiuyou Ascension Record", and only the Jiuyou in the title of the book was left alive in the ending, and the other protagonists were all stepping stones on her Ascension Record.

The elder brother Jin Cheng was sealed into the stone;

the second senior brother, the pine and cypress, became a dry pine tree;

The fourth senior brother was blazing and dried by the sun.

Fifth Senior Brother...... She suddenly looked at Ye Yan with tears in her eyes, and her eyes were blurred with tears, and she couldn't see the future of Ye Yan.

But according to the fate of the name destined to the end, his death must have something to do with the earth attribute.

Also, there is another, thinking of this, she turned her head blankly, her eyes full of shock.

The male protagonist in the book is the third senior brother who was gouged out his eyes, severed his hands and feet and sank into the abyss, the best to her but the worst death.

- Shen Yuan.
