Chapter 42: The Ceremony of Canonization
Along the way, Yang Ning was really shocked that the area of the inner gate was so huge, it was estimated that it was almost comparable to a Nantu County. It took them half an hour to unfold their bodies before they came to a large martial arts arena that could accommodate thousands of people.
When they arrived, the playground was already divided into five rows according to the color of their clothes, and more than a thousand people were standing in the back row, and the largest number was the outer disciples who were standing in the back row in white; Standing in the front row stood two people dressed in gold; A foot in front of them, on a large podium made of hard rock half a man high, dozens of blue-clad deacons stood around them; In the middle of the podium, there are two rows of chairs, one row of three in front; There are six chairs on each side of the back row on the left and right, and thirteen figures of different demeanors but full of aura sit on these chairs.
Tang Xiong and the two Great Elders sat on the three chairs in the front row, and the six chairs on the left sat the six elders from the inner door; On the right chair sat five middle-aged people with extraordinary bearing, and there was an empty chair on the far side that no one sat on.
"Deacon Zhuang, this scene is huge! Who is sitting on the chair? ”
When he came to the martial arts arena, Yang Ning was surprised by the spectacular scene. Seeing many faceless faces sitting on the podium, Yang Ning asked Zhuang Jianbing in a curious whisper.
"Huh...... The ones sitting above that you have seen, you already know, I will not repeat them. Sitting on the fourth chair on the left in the second row is Huo Zhidu, the fifth elder of the inner gate; The sixth chair sat the Seven Elders in the air; The fifth chair, sitting on it is the sixth elder Yue Shuirou, who is also the only female elder in our sect, Yang Keqing, I would like to remind you in private, in the door, even if you offend the pavilion master, don't easily offend this one, there are several elders who love Elder Yue, if you offend her, it is almost equivalent to offending half of the 'Ten Thousand Soldiers Pavilion'. Remember! Remember! ”
"Sitting on the chair on the right are the elders of the outer gate and the guest secretary. They are Elder Zhang Xian, Elder Jian Zhichao, Elder Feng Qingchen, Zhu Haizhou Keqing and Gan Zhong Keqing. ”
When Zhuang Jianbing lowered his voice and introduced them one by one, Yang Ning's eyes swept over their faces one by one, keeping their appearances in mind. There was a slight pause as his eyes passed over the moon.
This is a middle-aged woman about forty years old, with a round face, hair in a bun, a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, wearing a light yellow plain clothes, a good appearance, and a somewhat lazy plump middle-aged woman. The skin on the wrists, neck, and other exposed clothes still looks white and red, and there is no sign of constant exposure to hot flames.
Just as they were whispering, three majestic eyes glanced at them, Zhuang Jianbing immediately shut up with great interest, took Yang Ning and his son to the podium, and came to the vacant chair to ask Yang Ning to sit down. When Yang Ning sat down, Yang An straightened his body, did not squint, and consciously stood behind Yang Ning.
Approaching these high-level leaders of the Ten Thousand Soldiers Pavilion closely, through the aura on their bodies, Yang Ning could roughly judge the cultivation status of each person. Tang Xiong and the two Great Elders were both at the level of spiritual products, but Tang Xiong's aura was even stronger. Those elders and guest qing, the aura exuded was very powerful, and they all had the strength of the ninth rank of mortals; Among them, the strongest two breaths came from the second elder of the inner gate, Li Changsheng, and the white-bearded guest Qing Zhu Haizhou, who was faintly equivalent to himself.
"Haha...... Calling everyone here today, I believe everyone has heard about it more or less, and probably knows what is going on. That's right! It's just that a talented forger has joined our Ten Thousand Soldiers Pavilion and become a guest of the Ten Thousand Soldiers Pavilion. This guest is Yang Ning, Yang Keqing! Now, I would like to invite Yang Keqing to come forward and say a few words for us. Everyone's applause, please! ”
After Yang Ning sat down, Tang Xiongcai slowly got up from his chair, walked to the front of the podium, and shouted loudly to the disciples in the audience.
Shocked by this thunderous applause, Yang Ning stood up a little dazed and walked to Tang Xiong's side blankly:
"Brother Tang, what are you doing? I'm a man from the mountains and wilderness in the middle of nowhere, and I speak to such a large group of people, do you want me to make a fool of myself? ”
"Cut! Out of the wool ugly! It's just a walk-through, you just say a few words, just form. When you're done, the ceremony is complete, and it's time to break up. ”
Tang Xiong's answer almost made Yang Ning angry, this guy would be so childish and irresponsible.
"You ......"
Regarding Tang Xiong's unreliability, Yang Ning was speechless for a while. At Tang Xiong's urging, he took a deep breath and took a step forward. Both of them kept their voices so low that no one else could hear what he was saying.
Secretly running the exercises, calming down the surging qi and blood in his body, Yang Ning calmed down. Looking at the more than 1,000 disciples in the martial arts arena, the light in his eyes shone brightly, and a deep voice sounded from Yang Ning's mouth:
"Hello everyone! I am honored to be able to join the great sect of the Ten Thousand Soldiers Pavilion with you, I, Yang Ning, come from a remote town in the south, lack of knowledge, and have a little talent in forging, I thought that I would live here for the rest of my life. Now I am fortunate to be appreciated by the master of Tang Xiong Pavilion and invited to be the guest secretary of the Ten Thousand Soldiers Pavilion, which gives me the opportunity to get in touch with the excitement that ordinary people in this world cannot understand, and I Yang Ning is very grateful. I hope that in the days to come, I can work with you, under the wise leadership of the Tang Pavilion Lord, to continue to surpass myself and step by step towards the pinnacle of this world! Thank you! ”
At the end, Yang Ning's voice was a little excited. In just a few words, Yang Ning's own body trembled a little. After speaking, he hugged his fists to the more than 1,000 disciples in the audience, turned around and bowed slightly to the elders, guest qing, and deacons behind him, and walked back to his seat with firm footwork and sat down solemnly.
"Boom!"
The audience once again burst into thunderous applause, but this time the applause was a little more excited than the last time. Not only that, but even everyone on the stage was affected by the emotions of the scene and applauded.
"I'll go! He also said that he came from a poor country, and that he had never faced so many people and could not speak. Now it's so sensational, what should you say next! It's harmful! ”
He had never encountered such a passionate scene, and Tang Xiong didn't know how to pick it up. kept muttering and complaining about Yang Ning in his mouth, took a step forward, opened his arms, and burst out with a majestic momentum without reservation:
"Everyone heard what Yang Keqing said! Then, you should work hard, don't let down the talent you have, constantly surpass yourself, and strive for higher achievements! ”
"Good! Today's canonization ceremony is over, and Yang Ning has officially become our guest secretary of the Ten Thousand Soldiers Pavilion from today! Everyone is gone, what should I do! ”
As soon as the words fell, the audience was silent: This is the end? Such a child's play! The whole sect got up early in the morning, threw down all the things to do, and was summoned to the martial arts arena, and it took a quarter of an hour to stand in a row and finish it? Can you break up? There is no follow-up show?
When everyone was standing, Tang Xiong was a Buddha with his sleeves in a chic manner, and Shi Shiran walked off the podium and left! When he passed by Yang Ning's side, he gave Yang Ning a wink. This expression made Yang Ning cry and laugh a little.
When Tang Xiong's back was almost gone, everyone reacted. The two Great Elders shook their heads with a wry smile, and instructed the deacons present to arrange for the disciples to leave the venue and disperse.
Accompanied by Zhuang Jianbing, Yang Ning and the others returned to the fine house where they lived, recalling Tang Xiong's unexpected actions just now, Yang Ning shook his head and smiled helplessly.
"Deacon Zhuang, when the Tang Pavilion Lord invited me to join the Ten Thousand Soldiers Pavilion, he promised me that the collection of books in the Pavilion was unconditionally open for me to read, may I ask if this will not change, right? So where should I go to see it? ”
As soon as Zhuang Jianbing was greeted with a sip of tea, Yang Ning remembered a very important thing and hurriedly asked.
"Well, this matter has been ordered by the Pavilion Master, and it can be done at any time. As long as Yang Keqing wants to watch it when he wants, tell me, and I will take Yang Keqing to the library to watch it. ”
Zhuang Jianbing put down the teacup in his hand and said seriously. It seems that Tang Xiong has already instructed him.
"Good. Then there is the deacon of the farm. Today's event is a bit of a fluctuating mood, I want to take a good rest, calm down, and tomorrow I will go to the library to read the collection of books. ”
Knowing that Tang Xiong hadn't forgotten this, Yang Ning secretly exhaled and said to Zhuang Jianbing.
"Hehe, okay. I'll come over early tomorrow morning to take Yang Keqing to the Library Pavilion, then I'll leave first, and don't disturb Yang Keqing to have a good rest. ”
Knowingly smiled at Yang Ning, Zhuang Jianbing got up and prepared to leave.
