Volume 5: The First Song One Hundred and Seventy-Nine: Yan Xuan's Apprenticeship (I)

Yan Xuan's apprenticeship ceremony has finally arrived.

On the first night, Qian Chao went to bed early, in order to recuperate, and then got up early, freshened up very seriously, changed into a new, clean and decent robe, and carefully examined the mirror.

Today is Yan Xuan's important day, as her friend, Qian Chao naturally attaches importance to him, and he is not the only one, even Lu Pingchuan, who is the most raunchy and the most sleepy of the five, also got up early in the morning, and then was as busy as Qian Chao, hoping that he could look pleasing to the eye.

The same is true for the rest of Tang Ping and Li Jian.

Among the five people, the first apprenticeship was Lu Pingchuan, but his apprenticeship seemed to be a bit child's play, although later the Kang Pu seniors made up another apprenticeship ceremony in the Houtu Temple, but according to the temperament of the senior, the apprenticeship ceremony was just a lively scene where he found some monks with his good Five Spirits Jie Dan to eat and drink together.

The second apprentice is Tang Ping, although the status of the Gu Won Fairy in the Five Spirits Sect is both noble and transcendent, but Tang Ping's apprenticeship is the simplest, there are only two predecessors on the scene, Tang Bonian and Gu Won Fairy, and then Tang Ping's senior sister Ruo Yu, Tang Ping was called into the room, and then Tang Bonian pressed his head to perform nine bows, and then became the closed disciple of Gu Won seniors.

As for the third apprentice, it is Yan Xuan, but it is actually Qian Chao, but Qian Chao's master is really nameless and cannot be an outsider, and there is no way to do it.

The last apprenticeship should be Li Jian, the matter has been dragging on precisely because Yunxi is making trouble, and his apprenticeship will be delayed until after the "Chengguan Grace Test", but Qian Chao believes that with Li Jian, he will definitely be able to defeat Yunxi, so he will definitely be able to worship the Leng Yue senior.

That is to say, only Qian Chao among the five people is unlikely to have the identity of a disciple of a certain senior, although whether there is this identity or not does not affect Qian Chao's future practice, but after all, it is something less than others, so Qian Chao attaches great importance to his identity as a disciple of the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall, and before going out, he also carefully wiped the small sign indicating the identity of his inner hall disciple, and then hung it in a conspicuous position on his waist.

Coming out of his residence, Qian Chao came to Tianshui Lake first, and after waiting for a while, Li Jian arrived, and the rest of Lu Pingchuan and Tang Ping had to go to Qixia Mountain with their masters today, so Qian Chao and Li Jian decided to go together.

The two will reconcile and then rush to Qixia Mountain.

In Qixia Mountain, at a glance, it was clear that Elder Li Yun had indeed put a lot of thought into his junior sister's opening gift of opening the mountain and receiving apprentices, and it was still early morning when Qian Chao and Li Jian arrived at Qixia Mountain, but Qixia Mountain was already lively, and the disciples of Qixia Mountain came and went, and they were all brightly dressed.

Just as the two of them were about to go with everyone, someone suddenly shouted:

"Senior Brother Qian, Senior Brother Li."

It is the senior sister Min E of Qixia Mountain, as Yan Xuan's friend, Yan Xuan's apprenticeship ceremony she naturally has to be busy with her, and now it is the same, she and Qian Chao are also familiar with each other, so they greeted the two when they saw them.

As early as a few days ago, Qian Chao sent the Dan furnace carefully refined for Yan Xuan, Yan Xuan was also busy and had no time during the day, only at night did he take out the newly refined Dan furnace and couldn't put it down, Min'e and Yan Xuan are friends, and when I went to talk to Yan Xuan at night, I saw the Dan furnace, and I was naturally envious at a glance, although Min'e also had her own Dan furnace, and it was originally refined by Cheng Qiantang for her, but Qian Chao's current refining skills have far surpassed Cheng Qiantang, Naturally, the one that was refined for Yan Xuan was much stronger than the one used by Min'e at that time, both in terms of materials and refining techniques, and at that time Min'e played with the Dan furnace for a while, but in the end she couldn't hold back, and said that she wanted to ask Qian Chao to refine a Dan furnace for herself, and Yan Xuan also agreed to say it for Min'e, but she was too busy these days and has not been able to be free.

After saying hello, Min'e said:

"The two junior brothers came so early?"

"Yes, today is Sister Yan's big day, of course we have to come early."

"It's early, but Luofengpo won't open until midnight, well, two junior brothers, I can only ask you to wait a little longer, I still have something to do here......"

Qian Chao thought that Min'e was busy with Yan Xuan's apprenticeship, so he said:

"Let's just wait here, Senior Sister Min will just go and get busy."

Next, Qian Chao and Li Jian chatted and waited, time passed slowly, and the number of people who came here gradually increased, and they all came to see the excitement of this apprenticeship ceremony, among which there were many people that Qian Chao knew, such as Chen Xian (if you forget who Chen Xian is, please refer to Volume 4: Test Yu, One Hundred and Forty-Eight: Serious Injury) and others, such as Shang Jie and others, as well as Bu Yanqi and Lei Xian, etc., these people who know each other have come to talk when they see Qian Chao and the two.

At this time, most of the people gathered here are those disciples who have no teacher, although Yan Xuan is not as famous as Qian Chao, but she is proficient in medical skills, and in the past, she has really helped many people to relieve the crisis, such as Chen Xian, such as Shang Jie and others, the reason why these people came to participate in Yan Xuan's apprenticeship is precisely because they were treated by Yan Xuan when they were injured in the past and were grateful.

And those Five Spirit disciples who have a teacher are not many at this time, this is not to say that they are unwilling to come to join in the fun, think that today is not only Yan Xuan's apprenticeship, but also the gift of the fairy Zhong Yao who opened the mountain gate to receive the elder disciples, and the Elder Li Yun of Qixia Mountain, Fairy Zhong Yao's fame may not be very big, but Elder Li Yun is completely different, and there will be no fewer people who come to him. Therefore, many people should have followed their respective masters and elders at this time before they showed up, otherwise, like Luo Ying and Yan Shuang, the five people, as well as the two sisters Fang Yang and Fang Han, who had fought side by side with Yan Xuan more than once, should have arrived a long time ago.

As time goes by, more and more people gather, Qian Chao and Li Jian came to the earliest and stood at the front, inadvertently looked back, it was actually a group of people who were pressed by the black, there were always hundreds, maybe they saw that there were too many people waiting here or that Luofengpo had been prepared, and before the time came, there was a melodious bell ringing in Luofengpo, and then there was a foundation monk from Qixia Mountain who came to everyone and said:

"Thank you for participating in Senior Zhong's apprenticeship ceremony, the Wutong Hall has been prepared, please come with me now."

This Wutong Hall is the important place of Qixia Mountain, and it is not open on weekdays like the Muxiufeng Jianxin Pavilion where Yanshuang apprenticed, not to mention entering and exiting it, even the area where they are located is a forbidden place, even if they enter it, they are not allowed to fly, even if the Qi refining disciples gathered here do not understand this rule, but watching the foundation building monk turn around and take steps forward, where do they not understand, they can only follow behind the foundation building monk on foot.

The scenery of Qixia Mountain is compared with the other four gates in the sect, the scenery is mainly verdant and beautiful, there are many strange trees on the mountain, many strange flowers and plants, the tall ones are not lacking in the towering giant wooden umbrella cover that several people hug together, the low ones are also like the corals under the sea, the flowers are full of branches such as the pearls and emeralds, along the mountain road paved with blue stones, the mountains and flowers on both sides of the road are splendid, the birds in the forest chirp, and the fragrance of flowers is pleasant. At the end of the stone slab mountain road is a stone step plank road carved out of the dangerous mountain wall, the stone wall on one side of the plank road is either moss or vines, and the other side looks down is the abyss filled with clouds and mist, the mountain wind is whistling in the ears and does not stop, even if everyone is a monk, they can't help but feel chills in their hearts, fortunately this plank road is not long, walk for a while is the end, the end is a stone bridge sandwiched between the two mountains, the stone bridge has a stone plaque on the side of the plank road, and the three big characters on it ...... "Qifeng Mountain".

This stone bridge is not big at first sight, but stepping on it is the bridge deck is wide, it is still a big mountain after walking over, and then not far away, there is a tall archway in front of it, there are three big characters at the highest place: Luofeng Slope.

And the Wutong Palace, the important place of Qixia Mountain, was built on this Luofeng slope.

The saying of the phoenix tree is also in the cultivation world, and it is more convincing, so the slope of the phoenix is full of plane trees, as far as the eye can see, the eyes are full of greenery, the forest is covered, and the location of the plane hall can not be seen at all.

However, Qian Chao and Li Jian concluded that the plane tree here must be an extraordinary product, walking in it, only to feel that the aura is rich and dense, and the plane trees planted here are rare spiritual trees, Qian Chao is very interested in this plane tree, and he can't help but touch and pat on the trunk, if he can get a piece of such a plane spirit wood, and then find some spirit silk, he will have the means to make a good spirit qin, or against the enemy or for self-entertainment is a good spirit weapon.

Everyone walked along the road in this sycamore forest again, and finally after a few turns without knowing it, the road under the feet suddenly widened, and it was straight up along the hillside, and at the end of the road in the distance, you could see a majestic palace upturned eaves and the glazed tiles of the palace, where was the final place of everyone's trip, the important place of Qixia Mountain - Wutong Palace.

There are similar places in Jiuxuan, Qian Chao heard that it is a place called "Zhong Miao Tang", which is the most important place in Jiu Xuan, of course Qian Chao has not been, only heard that it is also a place where Jiu Xuan is not open to major events, and I also heard that if it is not open, even if someone searches every inch of Jiu Xuan's land can not find where the Zhong Miao Hall is, but when there is a major event to open Zhong Miao Hall, people can only find a gate that is said to be full of mysteries, and only after passing through it can they see the whole picture of Zhong Miao Hall, Therefore, the somewhat mysterious gate has the title of "Gate of All Wonders", it is said that the Qi refining disciples of Jiuxuan have the opportunity to enter the Zhongsecond Hall after building the foundation, and Qian Chao is looking forward to going there to take a good look.

The more upward along the road, the more majestic the Wutong Hall appears, there must be an empty and flat square in front of the hall, there is at least one corner tower on the left and one right, and I don't know what material is carved out of the huge divine bird phoenix stands on the top of the corner tower, the shape of the god possesses, the color paint is clear, it is convincing.

When everyone finally stepped on the stone platform in front of the Wutong Palace, which was extremely smooth and extremely open, they had seen all the way from a distance, thinking that they had almost seen the Wutong Palace, but they really felt the shock of the heart when they arrived in front of them, and they found that the place where they settled was at least more than 100 zhang away from the gate of the Wutong Palace, even so, when people looked up at the solemn plaque with three gilded characters written on the top of the main hall, they could still perceive their own insignificance and the awe that spontaneously awe.

This Wutong Hall dwells in the center of this stone platform, each of the four corners of the stone platform has a corner tower of dougong cornices, there is a carved phoenix statue of the divine bird on it, and the four divine birds each set their eyes on the Wutong Hall in the middle. The middle of this stone platform is a high platform, the Wutong Hall is built on it, the high platform is three zhang high, the whole body is a jade white color, the material of the stone platform under the feet of everyone is the same, the four sides of the high platform are full of carvings, facing the middle of the steps of the people is the relief of "a hundred birds towards the phoenix", exquisite and abnormal, there are carved small beasts crouching on the white jade railing on the platform, there are colorful flags fluttering at the four corners of the stone platform, the pattern on the flag is either the stars or the sacred bird.

The whole Wutong hall is heavy eaves and top, the air is strict, a row of thick and round straight wooden pillars in front of the hall supports, after the wooden pillars are carved with intricate ornaments of the wooden walls and the lattice panes of the spiritual wood carving, the main entrance of the main hall is still closed at this time. It can be seen that in addition to the glazed tiles on the top, the palace as a whole is wooden, I don't know where Qixia Mountain found so many spiritual trees back then, the whole hall has not been painted at all, only the true color of the spiritual wood is a purple lingering Ruixiang.

Under the stone steps in front of the hall, a large red felt carpet has been laid, rows of tables and chairs are arranged, the table is also draped with a new red table circumference, and there is a tea set on the table, many Qixia Mountain disciples are coming and going, busy, everyone knows that there must be the seats of those Jiedan seniors who came to watch the ceremony, such a big scene, not to mention these Qi refining disciples, even if the foundation building monks come, they can only stand obediently with them.

"Junior brothers and sisters," said the Qixia Mountain Foundation Cultivator, who led everyone here, "please stay a little longer, and soon those seniors who came to watch the ceremony will be here, and this great ceremony will begin." ”

Then there were more people one after another, including some foundation building monks, and then the first one to arrive was the predecessor of Qixia Mountain, and after taking a look at the situation here, he turned around and left, and then everyone waited for a while before the monk Jiedan began to arrive.

Every Jiedan monk who arrived, as long as he was not an elder of Qixia Mountain, was led by a well-dressed and respectful Qixia Mountain Foundation Cultivator, and often there were his own disciples behind him, and many Qi Refining disciples made the way of the road, and the Qixia Mountain Foundation Monk let him sit all the way to the table.

At this time, many Qi refining disciples were mostly unapprenticed, so after seeing those arriving Jiedan monks walking by, they couldn't help but start talking, talking about the names of those seniors and the old things in the past.

Among them, there are naturally people who know Qian Chao and Li Jian, such as Luo Ying and Luo Bin, two brothers and sisters who came with Luo Ban, Wen Yuan who came with Wen Mian, and Yan Shuang and others who came with Lu Suyang, especially Luo Ying, after seeing Qian Chao in the crowd, he also said something on Luo Ban's side, and then Luo Ban's two bright eyes looked at Qian Chao, as if he wanted to see who Qian Chao was who was forbidden by the Mo Zu of Jade Hushan to accept them as disciples, and after a glance, Luo Ban withdrew his gaze and walked over, Of course, Qian Chao didn't notice this, and when Luo Ban came, he and everyone around him were bending down to salute.

Qian Chao didn't know many seniors, but fortunately, there were many people around him, and he looked at those people while listening.

Later, Qian Chao saw Ma Hu who was following Tian Zhi'an and was squeezing his eyebrows at him, and then saw Ma Hu and Tian Zhi'an talking a few words, and then walked to Qian Chao's side.

"Hehe, Senior Brother Qian came early." It seems that Ma Hu is very reluctant to accompany his master to stand there dryly.

"Senior Brother Ma, ......" Qian Chao smiled and gestured to Ma Hu with his eyes.

Among the seniors who were already sitting in front of the Wutong Hall were Lu Suyang's predecessors from Mu Xiufeng, and behind him was the beautiful Yan Shuang, many people were staring at Yan Shuang, Ma Hu's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he hurriedly threw down a sentence of "Go back and talk to Senior Brother Qian again", and caught up with his master in three steps and two steps, almost pulling Tian Zhi'an and Lu Suyang's predecessors to sit at a table, and then stood with Yan Shuang as he wished.

As these seniors arrived one by one, these Qi refining disciples also gave salutes over and over again, and suddenly a familiar voice came:

"Brother Li, money boy!"

It was Tang Ping who followed behind the Gu Won Fairy.

Gu Shou's predecessor is also dressed up today, with a bit of grace and majesty, and she is followed by the two disciples beside her, Ruo Yu and Tang Ping. Seeing Qian Chao and Li Jian, Tang Ping pulled his master's sleeve and said a few words, Gu Hou Fairy nodded after looking at Qian Chao, and Tang Ping jumped to the two of them as if relieved.

"How long have you two been here?"

"It's been a while."

Not long after, behind a middle-aged beautiful woman, Qian Chao saw Senior Sister Lu Shuang, and then he realized that the middle-aged beautiful woman was the elder Goose Mirror Fairy of Yueyinglin in Shuiyun Valley, and Tang Ping's illusion was taught by this senior. Seeing the goose mirror, Tang Ping naturally stepped forward respectfully and saluted, this goose mirror fairy looked like a very calm person, and walked over after talking to Tang Ping for a few words.

Well, then the three of them saw Lu Pingchuan who was following behind Kang Pu's senior, and Lu Pingchuan also had his senior brother Xi Kan beside him.

"Brother Lu!" Tang Ping called out as soon as she saw it.

Looking at Qian Chao and Tang Ping and others, Lu Pingchuan immediately said a few words to his master, Kang Pu saw Tang Ping grinning and nodded, and Lu Pingchuan immediately came over.

"Hehe, I'm glad I met you, otherwise I would have had to stand there."

There is also Tang Bonian who came with many disciples in the back, and today this Tang senior is here to show off, so when he walks, he is full of smiles, and he shakes three times in one step, and even when he sees his naughty granddaughter, he feels a little pleasing to the eye.

While the four of them were chatting, another senior arrived, this senior seemed to be a young woman, dressed in a white dress, with a cold but peerless appearance, and when she walked like a snow-bright long sword, she had a chilling momentum.

But when Li Jian saw this senior, his heart suddenly became hot, it was Mu Xiufeng's Leng Yue senior, he knew that this senior was a little withdrawn, and he had never liked such a scene, and he was able to come here today, it was definitely not for Yan Xuan's sake, nor because of Li Yun's affection, it must be because of him, Leng Yue's predecessor must have used this move to appease Li Jian and show his heart to accept disciples. Thinking of this, Li Jian took a few steps forward and walked to the front to face the passing Leng Yue seniors and saluted solemnly.

"So you've already arrived." Senior Leng Yue said with a smile.

"Exactly, friends apprentice, juniors should come to celebrate."

Fairy Leng Yue nodded, the purpose of her coming here had been achieved, so she walked over without saying more, but the girl Lingyue who followed her looked like she had realized, and glared at Li Jian who was saluting very dissatisfied, but she got a big white eye from Tang Ping, and after Lingyue returned the white eye, she found that the master was about to go away, so she chased after her.
