Volume 5: The First Song One Hundred and Eighty: Yan Xuan's Apprenticeship (Middle)
The arrival of the Cold Moon Fairy made the elder of Mu Xiufeng, who was in embarrassment, Lu Suyang's seniors somewhat surprised, his identity was comparable to that of Elder Li Yun of Qixia Mountain, so he monopolized a table, and the seat was relatively high, but after Tian Zhi'an, this old thing, actually sat with him in one ass, and he was not embarrassed to have nothing to say to him, this senior Lu and Tian Zhi'an had never had a good relationship, and when he was wondering, he found that there was a kid standing next to his female disciple Yan Shuang, It was Tian Zhi'an's precious apprentice named Ma Hu, who was talking to Yan Shuang like his master, so he understood what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this pair of masters and apprentices. Senior Lu has a calm and calm personality, and he is reluctant to interfere in the private affairs of his disciples, but Tian Zhi'an is a master and apprentice...... Just as he was thinking of this, Senior Lu saw the Cold Moon Fairy.
How did she get here? Senior Lu was a little puzzled all of a sudden, as the person in charge of Mu Xiufeng, he knew that Leng Yue's temperament had always been withdrawn and arrogant, and she rarely participated in similar occasions in the sect, what happened today?
It seemed that he saw the doubts of Senior Lu, and Tian Zhi'an, who was sitting next to him, said with a smile:
"Brother Lu, aren't you curious about why that Cold Moon Fairy is here, right? Hehe, the reason is very simple, today is the fairy Zhong Yao of Qixia Mountain who opened the mountain gate to accept apprentices, and the disciple she accepted is named Yan Xuan, this Yan Xuan is a very good girl, and you Mu Xiufeng A kid named Li Jian is a friend, it seems that there are five of them, there is the kid named Qian Chao, and the granddaughter of Tang Bonian's old thing is called Tang Ping, and the baby apprentice of the guy in Kang Pu is called Lu Pingchuan, and then there is this Li Jian, hey, look at it, what is the identity of the fairy? How many years has it been since this happened? Why is she here? It's not because his disciples Tang Ping and Yan Xuan are good sisters. Also, why did that guy from Kang Ke also come, he really likes to be lively, but the main reason must be because his apprentice and Yan Xuan have been friends for many years. Hehe, then Brother Lu guess, why did you Mu Xiufeng, who has always rarely joined in the fun, come here? Well, I heard that Fairy Leng Yue attaches great importance to that kid surnamed Li, and it seems that he deliberately wants to accept him as a disciple, well, but he encountered some small trouble and was delayed, thinking that Fairy Leng must not come here today for Li Yun's face, nor for Zhong Yao, not for Yan Xuan, hehe, the truth in this, Brother Lu naturally understands! Alas, in fact, if you want me to say, the disciple's affairs, you, as an elder, shouldn't interfere so much, just let them go......"
Tian Zhi'an's words were quite a bit of a reference to Sang scolding Huai, and there was another meaning, obviously referring to the Cold Moon Fairy, but in the end, the words turned to his apprentice and Lu Suyang's female disciple, how could Lu Suyang not hear it, but he was more curious about how Tian Zhi'an knew so much.
"Senior Brother Tian, these ...... How did you find out? ”
"Hehe, my apprentice Ma Hu and Qian Chao's five children have always been good, these are all from their mouths and told to me, if you want to say that Li Jian's child, it is very good, although he has not apprenticed, he has already made two contributions to the sect."
Tian Zhi'an's words are even more meaningful, the so-called Li Jian's two merits are because of the frost, and this is also a reminder to Lu Suyang that Li Jian has twice contributed to saving your female disciple, but you, the chief elder of Mu Xiufeng, have not helped him in the slightest, which seems to be a little unreasonable.
Lu Suyang naturally heard the implication of this words, and couldn't help but sigh and shake his head, from his heart, he also had a good impression of Li Jian, and the Cold Moon Fairy was also very resolute in the matter of accepting apprentices, but he was a little involuntary when he was in the position of Senior Lu, and what he wanted to take into account could not be just the Cold Fairy, Mu Xiufeng as a whole He had to consider it holistically, so he could only neutralize the mud in it. However, he didn't expect that Mu Xiufeng's matter was even known to Tian Zhi'an, and he pointed it out in front of him, thinking of this, he felt a little more unhappy with the female disciple named Yunxi in his heart.
Fairy Cold Moon also saw Senior Lu Suyang sitting there, and after a slight gesture, she found a table and sat down.
One after another, the predecessors of the Jiedan were led to come here, just after half of the tables prepared for the monks were occupied, here in the Wutong Palace, no one noticed that the sheng pipes moved together, the flute and Xiao resonated, and the melodious drum music fluttered over, the initial sound was not loud, and no one noticed it when everyone was talking, and when they found out, the sound of the drum music was like a warm wind blowing in the face and slowly passing by, which made people feel comfortable, and when they heard the sound of the drum music, everyone knew that the gift of Zhong Yao Fairy to open the mountain gate was about to begin.
……
After a while, I thought that the people had arrived, the drum music became louder and louder, and at the same time, the bells and drums rang out in the corner towers on all sides, and people knew that the gift of receiving apprentices was about to begin, so they stopped talking, and then saw a group of people coming out of the back of the Wutong Palace, walking in front was a thin old man in a new purple robe, this person had a slightly upturned goatee under his chin, and his aura was outstanding, it was Li Yun, the chief elder of Qixia Mountain, although this person was thin, but his spirit was unusually vigorous, especially a pair of eyes, scorching and bright, seeing that the black pressure in front of the Wutong Hall was full of people who came to watch the ceremony, Li Yun's face was naturally full of smiles.
Behind him, there is a slightly chubby and tall old man, this person is Li Yun's junior brother, one of Zhong Yao's two senior brothers, Lou Qi's senior, Lou Qi is a person who is not smiling, even on such an occasion, there is no smile on his face, and the familiar friends in the crowd are only slightly bowed.
There are also several Jiedan monks in the same group, all of them are brightly dressed and decent, with solemn faces, they are all elders with status in Qixia Mountain, and there are two red figures in the crowd that are the most eye-catching, both are women, it is Zhong Yao Fairy and Yan Xuan, but the two did not walk together, Zhong Yao Fairy walked with those Jiedan monks, and Yan Xuan followed behind.
"You've been waiting for a long time."
The group stopped when they walked to the edge of the red felt carpet, and Li Yun walked forward to the middle position and saluted the black pressed people present with his fists.
"Li Yun in Xiaqi Mountain, today is a great gift for my Qixia Mountain Zhong Yao Fairy to open the mountain gate to receive the elders, all senior brothers and brothers, all the five spirit initiates, thank you for taking the time to come and participate in this move, thank you very much!"
Saying that, Li Yun saluted to everyone present, because Li Yun's identity was extremely noble in Qixia Mountain, so when he saluted, all the monks present stood up and returned the salute, whether it was those close to the Jiedan monks who had seats or the Zhuji monks who stood on the side, the more numerous Qi refining disciples standing on the periphery saluted when they saw this battle.
After saluting, Li Yun motioned for the monks to take their seats, and said some polite words to express his gratitude before continuing:
"Today is an auspicious day, Fairy Zhong Yao opened the mountain gate to accept the elder apprentices, all the senior brothers and younger brothers are all teachers, and naturally know that we and other monks are not only to let themselves have a inheritance of what they have learned, but also to give personal favors to someone, so that they can be grateful to themselves and Dade will be with him from now on, in order to follow the dogs and horses. The so-called teacher, only in terms of my five spirits, is to inherit the legacy of the sages, follow the teachings of the sages, uphold the principles of the sect, and uphold the righteousness of the sect! On the top of the patriarch to live up to the meaning of the ancestors, in the life of their own learning, and under the thousands of people to discern the English, choose the best and teach, this move can make the sages bow, so that the sect survives, so that the talent stands out, just like the big river, do not donate the trickle, do not abandon the spring, sink the sand and wash the water, the water waves are clear, thousands of miles, and finally become a surging trend! From this point of view, this preaching and teaching is very good! ”
After Li Yun's words were finished, a loud voice suddenly sounded among the Jiedan monks who were seated, it was Lu Pingchuan's master, the senior of Kang Pu, who listened to his praise full of anger:
"Yes, Brother Li is right, that's exactly the truth!"
Kang Pu took the lead, and many of the monks who watched the ceremony below echoed one after another, and some even bowed to Li Yun, and the atmosphere became warm for a while.
Only Lu Pingchuan saw clearly that his master was sitting with Tang Bonian, so he smiled and said to a few companions around him:
"Hehe, I can't understand what the old man said, and my master may not be able to understand it, eighty percent of it was Tang Meizi's sixth grandfather who explained it to him, and he knew the meaning of those words, hehe......"
Li Yun didn't expect that his words could be so recognized by everyone present, and many people stood up to salute him and thanked him, so he stood there and saluted, and then waited for everyone to calm down before he spoke and said:
"In the next Bucai, the elder in charge of Qixia Mountain, today and the Qixia Mountain Jiedan monk opened the mountain gate first, the great gift of the elder disciples, at this time, the victory of friends such as clouds, in the next joy is overjoyed, and today's apprentice Zhong Yao Fairy, is in the next and Lou Lou Elder Elder sister, the three of us are the same brothers, thinking about the disciples of the master of the year not only the three of me, more than a dozen brothers and sisters together, each other, each other, close to each other, leisure occasional gathering, drinking and talking, talking and laughing Yan Yan, just like yesterday, pity, Now it's just the three of me...... It's embarrassing! ”
Li Yun's words here aroused the feelings of at least these Jiedan monks present, it is difficult to build a foundation and it is even more difficult to build a Dan, the nearly two hundred Jiedan monks present also came from the Qi refining disciples step by step, most of them have senior brothers and younger brothers, but now look at it, after the long and incomparable years, most of the senior brothers who were originally like brothers and sisters are gone, and the original affectionate smiling faces can only exist in memory, how can it not be emotional, for a while, with Li Yun's words, Monk Jiedan turned gloomy and nodded silently.
Li Yun woke up and knew that today was a day of great joy, but not a time to be sad, so he immediately said:
"And I like that my sister has always respected the teacher, practiced hard, and God rewarded hard work, so that today, she accepted apprentices and I and Lou two apprentices, her happy event is the happy event of Qixia Mountain, today is full of friends, I am grateful, come, senior sister ......"
Saying that, Li Yun greeted him with his hand and invited Fairy Zhong Yao, who was dressed in full costume, to come up.
Today's Zhong Yao fairy is dressed in a full costume, wearing a six-tailed golden phoenix crown on her head, the gold silk inlaid with gems swayed down and gently swaying on the side of her face, reflecting her different dignified beauty, the whole body of the fiery red brocade skirt, the skirt placket is decorated with gold edges, and there is a dark red pinched gold shawl on the body, which is embroidered with the pattern of the god bird with gold silk patterns, which looks both delicate and noble, after listening to Li Yun's words, Zhong Yao Fairy Lotus stepped forward lightly, first saluted his senior brother, and then listened to Li Yun continue:
"Today is your big day, accept apprentices, inherit up and down, well, you first give a salute to the ancestors of Qixia Mountain in the Wutong Palace, and there is one more person in Qixia Mountain since then, and such a major event must comfort the spirits of the sages of the past dynasties......"
This is the first step in the etiquette of Qixia Mountain's first opening of the mountain gate to accept disciples, Zhong Yao listened, dressed and bowed to the hall, and at the same time, Li Yun did not bow to the side, but also bowed respectfully to the hall.
After the salute, Fairy Zhong Yao got up, and Li Yun said again:
"Today's big gift, many initiates of the Five Spirits Sect gathered here to celebrate you, such a warm gift, you make a gift to thank you."
There are many people below, there are many monks who have built a foundation and refined qi, Zhong Yao can't make a big salute this time, but he also bows to everyone respectfully, and everyone below, Brother Jiedan bows his head back, and the rest of the people bend down and bow their hands.
Li Yun looked at Tang Bonian's seat again and said:
"Senior sister, you can meet a good apprentice, rely on the recommendation of Elder Tang Bonian Tang of Shuiyun Valley Bibotan, drink water and think of the source, come, thank you Elder Tang......"
(Regarding the plot of Tang Bonian's recommendation of Yan Xuan to Zhong Yao, if you have forgotten it, you can refer to Volume 3: Ignorance of Qi Refining, 3: The Five Spirits Have Their Own Place.) )
As soon as Li Yun said this, the eyes of almost all the seniors present looked at Tang Bonian, and naturally they saw Kang Pu who was sitting at the same table with Tang Bonian, and he immediately remembered that it seemed that the little apprentice of Kang Pu was said to be a stupid boy surnamed Lu with excellent qualifications, and it was also related to this Tang Bonian, it seemed that Tang Bonian brought it back to the sect at the time of the first election, and people only knew that Tang Bonian recommended Lu Pingchuan's silly boy to Kang Pu, but he didn't expect that this disciple of Zhong Yao Fairy was also recommended by this old man Tang.
When Tang Bonian heard this, he had already smiled like a flower on his face, and stood up triumphantly under the eyes of everyone.
"Thank you, Elder Tang!" After Fairy Zhong Yao finished speaking, she bowed respectfully to him.
"Haha, it's easy to say, it's just a matter of raising your hands, you don't dare to take credit, you don't dare to take credit...... Hahahaha! ”
Having said that, the smug look on Tang Bonian's face could be seen by everyone, and the Gu Hou Fairy, who was sitting not far away, couldn't help but think of his precious apprentice when he saw his smug demeanor, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. Even the Cold Moon Fairy remembered that Li Jian was also brought back by Tang Bonian when he was selected, and he couldn't help but look at Old Man Tang's triumphant demeanor and smile slightly.
When Fairy Zhong Yao thanked Tang Bonian, someone had already put a black lacquer circle chair up.
At this point, the apprenticeship is about to begin, Li Yun pointed it out with his hand and said:
"Senior sister, come, please take a seat first"
After Zhong Yao sat upright on the chair, Li Yun called each other with his hand, and Yan Xuan walked up obediently from the side and stood between Li Yun and Fairy Zhong Yao.
Today's Yan Xuan is also dressed in a full costume, with a brand-new fiery red skirt on her body, with a shiny Shimen jade pendant and Nanyutang's white jade gourd hanging around her waist, but it seems to be different from Zhong Yao Fairy, the red dress on her body does not have the gold silk trim, and there is no shawl, only a gold silk beaded Yingluo is hung around her neck, and the cloud-like hair is wearing a double-tailed golden phoenix crown, although it is also exquisite and abnormal, but the style is obviously much simpler than the one on Zhong Yao's fairy head, but Rao is so, Yan Xuan is naturally beautiful, Today, under the background of this red dress, it looks even whiter than snow, eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, compared to the luxury and dignity of Fairy Zhong Yao, Yan Xuan looks more youthful and beautiful, a few steps forward, you can see that everyone below is talking.
Previously, there was a saying of "Mei Min Shuangshu" in Qixia Mountain, one is Mei Qing, the other is Min E, and the two daughters are the best among the female disciples of Qi refining in Qixia Mountain, not only are they as glamorous as peach and plum, and their appearance is outstanding, and they are both masters of alchemy, hence the name, but now everyone sees Yan Xuan, especially many male disciples, they are all a little demented, and it is difficult for the secret way to enter Qixia Mountain, and even Tang Ping in the crowd can't help but murmur when she sees it, "Sister Yan is so beautiful."
When Li Yun saw Yan Xuan approaching, he said to everyone again:
"Yan Xuan, a disciple of Qixia Mountain of the Five Spirits Sect, the daughter of the Yan clan of Caixiang City of the Southern Medicine Country of Qiongya Prefecture, was selected by Jia, and entered Qixia Mountain to practice after refining the body in Youming Valley for a year. This woman is kind and kind, practicing hard in Qixia Mountain, less than ten years of cultivation has broken through the small five levels, it is really rare, what is even more rare is this woman's loyalty and courage to the sect, in the past twice for the sect to make contributions, is really a model among the disciples. Such a golden jade, has long been known by Zhong Yao's fairy eyes, many times as an elder for his practice to answer questions, and at the same time secretly observe his conduct, but Xi Yanxuan is consistent, it is really a good talent, at the same time, this Yan Xuan is also eager for a good teacher, admires Zhong Yao Fairy, and is willing to worship under the door as an apprentice, so there is this master-apprentice story! ”
Speaking of this, Li Yun looked at Yan Xuan with a smile.
"Come, Yan Xuan, for your apprenticeship today, so many seniors and brothers have come to celebrate for you, before apprenticing, you first thank everyone!"
"Yes."
Yan Xuan responded and saluted respectfully to everyone.
Then Li Yun led Yan Xuan to Fairy Zhong Yao, and said loudly and solemnly:
"Get on your knees!"
The apprenticeship has officially begun!
