Volume 5: The First Song One Hundred and Seventy-Two: Busy and Busy
In the next time, for the five of Qian Chao, the most important thing is Yan Xuan's apprenticeship.
Tang Ping and Yan Xuan are the best, and they naturally want to help in this big event, and the same goes for the rest of them.
However, there are not many places where a few people can help, mainly because there are a lot of people who handle this matter together, they stayed in Qixia Mountain for a day and felt that they were in the way, and then Yan Xuan let a few people go back, leaving only Tang Ping.
Zhong Yao's predecessors also have two senior brothers in the same sect in Qixia Mountain, her senior brother is named Li Yun, and there is also a senior brother named Lou Qi, in fact, in addition to these two elders, Zhong Yao's predecessors originally had other senior brothers, but she, as the youngest of the same senior brothers, has now married Dan to accept her own disciples, so she except Li Yun and Lou Qi The rest of the senior brothers ran out of life because they had no chance to marry Dan, and eventually died.
These two senior brothers of Zhong's predecessors, with Li Yun's reputation in the Five Spirits Sect is the greatest, not only the Five Spirits Sect, even in the entire Central Continent, Li Yun's reputation is widely known to the monks, this Elder Li has always been quiet, rarely walks in the cultivation world, but several times in the conflict between the Five Spirits Sect and other sects, he has shown his skills, he has a subtle and terrifying fire control technique, when facing the enemy, the stars are like rain, the earth flames are like the sea, which makes people frightened, and has made a lot of contributions to the Five Spirits Sect. Although this senior Li is not good at alchemy, or he is not good at alchemy, he is in charge of all matters in Qixia Mountain, which is famous for his alchemy, so he can be regarded as a prestigious figure in the sect.
And that Lou Qi compared to Li Yun although it seems to be not famous, but also a profound cultivation of the elder, this Lou Elder has a steady personality, on weekdays or in the cave to do penance or guide the disciples to practice, he received the most disciples in Qixia Mountain, and he is also good at preaching and teaching disciples, his disciples have been instructed by him, have built a foundation, many of them have become the sect can be in charge of the elite, so this Elder Lou is also a respected senior.
Of course, that Li Yun also has his own disciples, in addition to his granddaughter practicing by his side, which also appeared in the previous article, it is the senior sister Cui Yin who has been side by side with Qian Chao and others many times.
His junior sister opened the door to accept apprentices, and she was a big disciple of the top door, as the same senior brothers, Li Yun and Lou Kai naturally regarded the second as a major event, so all the affairs were basically taken care of by the disciples of these two people, and it was naturally easy to handle things when there were many people.
Even if Tang Ping stayed, there were not many places to help, but the left and right should be lively together, and Tang Ping responded to an errand of writing invitations.
But after patiently writing a few invitations, Tang Ping gave up, not because she was lazy, but because although her words were not bad, these invitations were to be sent to the hands of those invited seniors, the invitation list was drawn up by Elder Li Yun, and naturally they were all valuable figures in the sect, thinking of this, Tang Ping was a little weak-hearted, worried that her handwriting was not good, and she made jokes, which made people underestimate Sister Yan's apprenticeship, and then she remembered Qian Chaolai, Qian Boy's silver hook iron painting was much stronger than hers, so he said hello and came to Qian Chao with those blank invitations.
When it fell above Qian Chao's house, Tang Ping saw two people in the courtyard, Qian Chao was sitting in the small pavilion in the courtyard and writing and painting, and the other person was Lu Pingchuan, who didn't know what he was busy with.
"Brother Lu, why are you here?"
"Hehe, Sister Tang, Brother Qian said that he wanted to refine a good Dan furnace for Sister Yan, and I am here to help."
Lu Pingchuan said with a smile, there was a big black thing like a stone mortar in front of him, and he was holding an iron pestle and pounding it hard, making a "rustling" sound.
"You don't know how to refine weapons, how can you help?"
"Hehe, I don't know how to refine weapons, but I can still do some hard work."
Qian Chao stopped his pen and asked:
"Aren't you helping Sister Yan? Why did you come to me again? ”
"What is this?" Tang Ping glanced at the paper on Qian Chao's bookcase: "Dan furnace?" ”
"Yes, it's the Dan furnace," Qian Chao looked at the Dan furnace style he had drawn, "Lei Xian's "Washing Danlu" is really a strange book, after reading it, I benefited a lot, this Dan furnace I refer to the Dan furnace refining method and style design in that book, this time the materials are complete, there are both vermisite mud and Yunlan stone, not I boast, the refining must be a good product, Sister Yan will be satisfied. ”
Lei Xian was the one who was helped by Tang Ping in Ruixuan Town, and now he is also a disciple of the Five Spirits, the book "Washing Danlu" Lei Xian wanted to give it to the five people as a thank you gift, but considering that the book was Lei Xian's family heirloom, the five people refused, but they read the book again, and with Qian Chao's memory, he turned around and copied all the Dan recipes and alchemy techniques in the Washing Danlu to Yan Xuan, and he had already kept the refining method of the Dan furnace in the "Washing Danlu" in his heart, and it was Yan Xuan's apprenticeship gift in a few days. This Dan furnace has been refined, and it can be given as a gift.
"Come, your handwriting is good, this is the invitation for Zhong's seniors to invite those seniors to watch the ceremony, my handwriting is ugly, I don't dare to write two sheets, or you can write it."
After hearing this, Qian Chao took the thick blank invitation and a long list, and began to write calmly.
"What has Sister Yan been busy with these past two days?" Lu Pingchuan asked.
"Well, Sister Yan has been very busy these days, mainly because her two disciples are teaching her various etiquettes of apprenticeship, she is the first disciple of Zhong seniors, so it is a big deal for Sister Yan or Zhong seniors, Sister Yan's master is Elder Li Yun, who is in charge of Qixia Mountain, and attaches great importance to the ceremony of opening the mountain and accepting apprentices of Zhong seniors, all kinds of etiquette are troublesome, from everyone's clothing to how Sister Yan walks and salutes, from the sorting of the seats on the scene to the opera repertoire played, etc., it is very cumbersome, but fortunately, there are many people who help. Those senior brothers and sisters revolve around Sister Yan every day, and then they have to keep drilling, alas, I have a headache when I see it, or my apprenticeship is simple, my sixth grandfather even coaxed and deceived my master, and then I became the master's closed disciple, ha! ”
Lu Pingchuan said with a smile when he heard this:
"It's easy for me to apprentice, as soon as I got off the boat from the edge of Tianshui Lake, my master came to me, hehe!"
Thinking of the scene when Lu Pingchuan apprenticed, or simply said that it was Kang Pu who robbed his apprentice, Qian Chao couldn't help laughing, so it seems that he is the most troublesome one about apprenticeship, first three times to visit the Yiming Pavilion, and then the fourth time to see Mr. Zhuang, and also went through two examinations before he can enter the hall, even so, he can only have the name of master and apprentice and not master and apprentice.
In the corner of Qian Chao's bookcase, there was a small butterfly, and in it was a small pile of powder with fine white and greasy hands, Tang Ping saw it and asked curiously:
"Is this what Brother Lu made up? What is it? ”
"Hey, guess?" Lu Pingchuan said.
Qian Chao once found a beautiful blue stone outside the sect, Yunlan Stone, and said that it was to be mashed into a fine powder for Yan Xuan to refine the Dan furnace.
"This is the Yunlan Stone?" Of course, Tang Ping still remembers the beautiful stone like blue crystal.
"Well, yes, it's that blue stone, alas, I was a little reluctant when Brother Qian asked me to mash it."
"Then, Brother Lu, what are you pounding now?" Tang Ping leaned over to take a closer look.
It wasn't a stone mortar at all, but a black and hard iron object, and under the iron pestle in Lu Pingchuan's hand, I don't know what was being pounded into the size of a grain of rice.
"Well, I don't know, it's also a bunch of good-looking stones, alas, it's a pity, Brother Qian said that it was finely pounded, and he had to use a fine sieve to sift it several times when he turned around, and he used it when he wanted to draw talismans."
"Money boy, will the talisman made like that be more powerful?"
"Of course." Qian Chao wrote those invitations seriously, and said without raising his head.
……
After the invitation is finished, Tang Ping will not be needed to send invitations to those seniors, and the two predecessors' foundation building disciples will deliver them.
In the Shuiyun Valley, in front of the cave of a certain senior.
The Qiu Huayan that Qian Chao and the others had seen in Pinghaifeng fell from the sky with his two female disciples, Qiu Huayan's face was flat, but there was an unconcealable disappointment on the faces of both Shangguan Hong and Shangguan Xiu beside him, and as soon as the three of them fell, a man's voice came from not far away:
"Senior Qiu."
Qiu Huaqi turned around, and saw a young man stepping forward and saluting him respectfully.
"Shao Min, a disciple of Elder Li Yun of Qixia Mountain, has seen Senior Qiu."
"Well, okay, what's the matter?"
"Uncle of the younger generation, Zhong Yao's predecessors in Qixia Mountain want to open the mountain and accept apprentices, and I specially invite Qiu's seniors to come to watch the ceremony."
After speaking, Shao Min presented the invitation with both hands.
"Well, thank you."
Sent Shao Min away, Qiu Huayan opened the invitation and looked at it, he was not familiar with Zhong Yao, but the ceremony of opening the mountain and accepting disciples was a ceremony for the monks to accept the big disciples, which was very important and should be held grandly. Second, Qiu Huayan is also a well-known figure in the sect, so there must be a share of him in this invitation.
looked at the name on it, and Qiu Huayan had no impression of the disciple named Yanxuan that Zhong Yao wanted to accept, so he casually handed it to Shangguan Hong beside him, and said:
"I'm going out of the sect once tomorrow, I won't go to this apprenticeship, I will prepare a congratulatory gift before leaving, and you can send it on my behalf when the time comes."
"Yes."
Shangguan Hong opened the invitation card, and naturally saw Yan Xuan's name.
Yan Xuan, Shangguan Hong naturally recognizes it, it is the woman in Qixia Mountain who has been following Tang Ping in a red dress, she doesn't talk much, and her temperament seems to be very soft, well, her appearance is very good, she actually apprenticed?
And it's also the eldest disciple of this senior Zhong, but it's good luck!
Shangguan Hong is not in a good mood now, because the two sisters have been running around outside the sect with Qiu Huayan for nearly a month, and what they did was naturally the egg of Qingluan, but after so long, and under the search of the master, there is still no trace of the Qingluan, Shangguan Xiu's small mouth has long been deflated, and Shangguan Hong, who has always loved his sister, is naturally anxious in his eyes.
That is the egg of Qingluan, it is the egg of the spirit bird of the true spirit level, if my sister can get that egg, it will definitely be a big help for her after hatching, maybe Xiu'er will have a good future because of this Qingluan, and even the Shangguan family will benefit a lot from it, but unfortunately I couldn't find that egg!
If only the three of them were looking for the egg of the Qingluan, it would be nothing, anyway, there would be a lot of time between the laying of the egg and the hatching of the little Qingluan.
However, at Pinghai Peak, Shangguan Hong understood since she saw Tang Ping's figure that Tang Ping was also looking for the egg of the green luan, and at first she was still very proud in her heart, thinking that Tang Ping was a step late, and her master would definitely be able to find the precious egg on Pinghai Peak, but as a result, nothing was found on Pinghai Peak, even if Qiu Huayu later drove the human face owl to incarnate countless and searched the nearby mountains and rivers, he was still empty-handed, and finally had to leave in a huff. After that, Qiu Huayu took the two of them to search for dozens of possible places, but found nothing, so they had to return to the sect.
At that time, when the three of them left Pinghaifeng, the complicated look in Tang Ping's eyes was deeply imprinted in Shangguan Hong's heart, that kind of look Shangguan Hong had seen when she looked at herself in the mirror, and she understood that Tang Ping would not give up. As long as the Qingluan egg is not found by herself first, there is a danger of falling into Tang Ping's hands, Shangguan Hong already has a special hostility towards Tang Ping, and now she has become a competitive opponent in this Qingluan matter, and even she thinks that maybe she will fight with Tang Ping because of the Qingluan egg!
"Don't worry," after noticing Shangguan Xiu's expression, Qiu Huayan said, "If the master can't find it, it will be even more difficult for others to find it, and when the master comes back, he will definitely find the Qingluan egg for you, rest assured." ”
"Hmm." Shangguan Xiu nodded.
……
There were also many seniors who received invitations.
Tang Bonian must participate, after all, Yan Xuan was brought back to the sect by him in the first selection, and when these disciples first entered the Five Spirits Sect from Youming Valley and were selected by various sects, Tang Bonian also recommended Yan Xuan for Zhong Yao, which is a big favor.
Among the disciples of Qian Chao and Tang Ping's group of young Minggu, in terms of the advantages and disadvantages of the spiritual root, Lu Pingchuan ranked first with the rare and excellent quality soil spiritual root, and then it should belong to Yan Xuan's qualifications, although Yan Xuan is not the only one with good spiritual root qualifications, but after all, there are not few, and secondly, Yan Xuan is a good quality fire spirit root, which is the most suitable for Qixia Mountain, from this point of view, Zhong Yao does owe Tang Bonian a favor, so Tang Bonian will definitely go to Zhong Yao's opening ceremony to have a good time.
Gu Shou seniors also received invitations, generally speaking, she has no interest in this kind of thing, often just send apprentices to replace herself, but no one will say that Gu Shou seniors are big or cold, after all, Gu Shou Fairy's identity is already very transcendent in the sect, she cultivates to a high level and does not care, and she does not mention many contributions to the sect in the past. So even if the shelves are bigger, it's beyond reproach.
However, considering that Yan Xuan is a good sister of her precious apprentice after all, Gu Yu now took the invitation card and looked at it, and did not use Tang Ping's persuasion, so she made up her mind to go with Tang Ping with the gift when the time came.
Kang Pu senior doesn't need to ask, first, he knows that Yan Xuan and his disciples are friends, and second, he likes to join in the fun, so he will definitely go.
The last thing to say is Mu Xiufeng's Leng Yue senior, she sent away the person who invited the card and looked at it, Yan Xuan, it seems that when did she hear this name, well, I remembered it, it was at Li Jian's residence, that time Li Jian was still injured outside, when she got there, she saw a little girl in a red dress leaving, that was Yan Xuan, Li Jian's injury was treated by the little girl for him, I heard Li Jian say that he has four good partners who have been in and out together, including this Yan Xuan.
Senior Leng had long regarded Li Jian as his disciple, and after remembering this Yan Xuan, he dispelled the idea of only sending someone to give a gift in the past, since he was Li Jian's friend, then go there in person. Because of Yunxi's tossing and turning, as well as those irrelevant people in Mu Xiufeng, Leng senior's acceptance of Li Jian as an apprentice was forced to be postponed until after the Chengguan En test, she was angry, I am afraid that Li Jian's heart is even more angry and unfair, so his friend's apprenticeship must go, as long as Li Jian sees herself there, she should understand that her mind to accept an apprentice has not changed.
……
Qixia Mountain is also a relatively strange sect in the sect, although it is more than Mu Xiufeng and Houtu Temple in terms of numbers, only about the same as Shuiyun Valley, but compared to Jiuxuan, it is naturally much less in terms of numbers. It is said that Qixia Mountain is strange because according to the division of "sect", "door" and "faction", Qixia Mountain is actually divided into two factions, the simplest distinction is that one faction is to practice Danshu, and the other faction is not to cultivate, and it is said that there was a clear distinction between the two factions a long time ago, like the valley of water clouds. However, later Qixia Mountain once produced a genius-like figure, both with an unparalleled fire control technique and can refine the world's rare elixir, since this predecessor broke through the Yuan Ying and set foot on the Jade Pot Mountain, the difference between the two factions in Qixia Mountain has become more and more blurred, and now no one in Qixia Mountain has mentioned these two factions at all.
Most of the disciples and monks in Qixia Mountain are learning alchemy, and there are many masters of alchemy, so Qixia Mountain is famous in the practice world for its alchemy, but there are still people in Qixia Mountain who do not practice alchemy, and only put their life's energy and hard work on the art of fire control, so as to ensure the purity and majesty of the flame when facing the enemy, such as Li Yun, such as the master Zhong Yao who Yan Xuan wants to worship. Although Qixia Mountain is famous for alchemy, the person in charge, Elder Li Yun, is a person who knows nothing about alchemy, which is the strangeness of Qixia Mountain.
Of course, these people who are only outside Qixia Mountain feel strange, for ordinary Qixia Mountain disciples, they all feel that it is natural, these days many disciples of Qixia Mountain know a news: Zhong Yao's predecessors are going to open the mountain gate to accept disciples. Because this is the first disciple accepted by Zhong's predecessors, that is, the so-called top disciples, so many elders of Qixia Mountain attach great importance to it, and the acceptance of apprentices by the predecessors of Jiedan not only means that they must pass on their knowledge and means, but more importantly: accepting apprentices means that the monk begins to train the next generation of monks for Qixia Mountain or for the Five Spirits Sect, which is beneficial to both the sect and Qixia Mountain.
Therefore, in the Five Spirits Sect, the opening ceremony of a monk who has received disciples for the first time must be done in a beautiful manner.
For Yan Xuan's name, many Qi refining disciples in Qixia Mountain know, not to mention anything else, Yan Shuang has encountered trouble twice, it is said that they are very dangerous, and later rumors have mentioned that a senior sister Yan in Qi Xia Mountain is also involved, although Yan Xuan's name is not as loud as Qian Chao, but in Qi Xia Mountain, he has also become a well-known disciple, so when they knew that Zhong Yao's predecessor was going to accept the disciple Yan Xuan, those Qi refining disciples in Qi Xia Mountain were not very surprised.
Min'e was very happy when she learned the news that Yan Xuan was going to apprentice, and she had a very good relationship with Yan Xuan, so she took the initiative to find Yan Xuan and followed her to work together.
Of course, not everyone is happy for Yan Xuan, Yan Xuan doesn't have much interaction in Qixia Mountain on weekdays, the best is almost a Senior Sister Min, and the rest of the disciples are very envious after hearing the news that she is going to apprentice, some are very plain, and naturally some are very jealous.
There is also the last person, Yan Xuan's upcoming apprenticeship makes him have mixed tastes, and it can even be said that his heart is like cooking!
This person is Qin Suixuan!
