Chapter 408: Wushan Viewing Ceremony
I looked at the children, the eldest was fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest was only seven or eight years old, uneven, and their qualifications were relatively average, and I wondered where he got these children.
These children are very obedient, and they kneel down and kowtow, which makes me embarrassed. After the Yaksha took them down, I asked, "Where did you get so many children, and do you want to be the king of children, you who have revitalized the mountain gate?" ”
Xu Bin sighed and said, "I'm sure you can also see that these children have mediocre qualifications and are not very suitable for cultivation. However, they are all orphans, living on the streets, begging and stealing for a living. If someone catches it, no one will ask if they are killed. Since I want to strengthen the mountain gate, I can't rely on me and Yaksha. Think about it, don't care about the quality first, and make a breakthrough in quantity first. So he brought them from all over the country and gave them to the Yaksha to teach. ”
I see! Now, I underestimated Xu Bin. In the cultivation world, when looking for successors, it has always been the master looking for the apprentice, not the apprentice looking for the master. If you want to learn from a teacher, you have to have that qualification∈ if you don't have good quality and bones, the master can't look down on it, and if you learn it, it's just to learn some superficial kung fu. If you want to peek into the temple, you don't just have to work hard.
Thomas Edison once said that genius is one percent talent and ninety-nine percent perspiration. But few people know that there is a second half of this sentence, that is, the one percent of talent is more important, even more important than the ninety-nine percent of sweat.
This is especially true when cultivating a person, and people with good qualifications will be robbed wherever they go. Xu Bin rarely stayed in the mountain gate, and always traveled around like my master, in order to find a child with good qualifications and inherit his mantle. I'm afraid that this matter is also a long way to go for Xu Bin, and it will take time to complete it slowly.
There are still seven or eight days before the day of the opening of the sect, because the Wushan Demon Sect has always been a small sect, and even in the rivers and lakes, the reputation is not very good. So I don't have many friends, and I don't need to send any invitations to the various sects. Because even if it is posted, people may not necessarily give this face.
In this case, all the rules are omitted, and I only invite some familiar friends to come over and celebrate. So during this period of time, everyone has nothing to do, and the things that should be arranged, the Yaksha has also been arranged.
Under the leadership of Xu Bin and Yaksha, we played all the scenic spots around us, and we were really happy.
Seeing that the Lantern Festival is approaching, the guests we invited are also coming one after another. Roy, Kaka, Wu Qingqing and I followed Xu Bin and Yasha to the reception place in Wushan County and came to pick up people. When they received it, they were sent by a boatman hired by the Yaksha to the Thang Long Cave Heaven, and the students of the Spirit Society and the children were in charge of entertaining them.
The first to come was Leng Yitong, who was the farthest away. She didn't come alone, in addition to Chu Yuan rushing to join in the fun, Leng Yitong also brought all the employees in her company over, there were seven or eight people, and it was very lively. Everyone exchanged a few words of greeting, they were all familiar with each other, and they had fought side by side together, and hurriedly let them go to the ship and sent them into the cave.
Then the people of the Taishan faction came and sent their disciples to watch the ceremony. I glanced at the crowd and couldn't help but laugh. Among the second-generation disciples, it turned out to be Lele! Although he is very young, he is very senior in the family. Behind him were seven or eight leaders of the three generations of young disciples, and Wei Yuanqi was also among them, which was quite spectacular.
Lele got out of the car and asked us, "Do you have roasted peanuts on the mountain to eat?" Can you see the sunrise from the mountains? Can I stay longer? Why is it so cold in here? Didn't you say that it was warm in the south? ”
The crowd laughed and hurried to get him on board.
Subsequently, some scattered people came one after another, most of whom were friends Xu Bin met during his travels. When it was almost evening, Yang Guangtong was late. He came alone, and after a few pleasantries, I thought we could go back together, but I saw Xu Bin looking out the door, as if he was still waiting for someone.
At this moment, I suddenly saw two black Mitsubishi off-road vehicles suddenly stop at the door, and a few black suits got out of the car. We were wondering ourselves, when we saw one of them come forward and bow, and said in stiff Chinese: "Miss Ryoka Fujiwara of Ise Jingu heard that Mr. Lu's friend opened a sect, and she couldn't come to congratulate herself in person, so I sent a gift, I hope to smile!" ”
I was pleasantly surprised, I didn't ask Ryoka Fujiwara, but I didn't expect her to know about it and send a gift from far and wide, which was so exciting. I hurriedly took the gifts, said a few words of thanks, and was about to invite them on board, but I heard him say, "The matter is done, we need to go back to our lives, and come back when we have time!" "Just say it and leave, it's really fast to come and go.
The gift from Fujiwara Ryoka was a long wooden box, and when I opened it, I saw that inside were two Japanese knives, one long and one short. Xu Bin pulled out the knife, flicked it, and couldn't help but admire: "Good steel, good knife!" ”
"Give it to you, take it!"
It seemed that no one would come again, so we sailed back. At night, the lights under the mountain were bright, the aroma of wine was overflowing, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, needless to say.
A day later, it is the Lantern Festival, which is also a viewing meeting. This is to be held in the mountains. Everyone got up early in the morning and walked up the hill with the dew. The surrounding clouds and mist are shrouded, the mountain peaks appear and disappear from time to time, walking on it, it is like being in a fairyland, quite a charm.
When approaching the top of the mountain, you will see a city tower with red walls and green tiles towering in front of you, and a huge plaque is hung on it, with four gilded characters of "Thang Long Blessed Land" written on it. I entered the mountain gate, but I saw that the ancient trees inside were towering, and the houses were like houses. These houses are all newly built, antique buildings. The courtyard is forested and the area is quite large. Around to the backyard, a large hall, although not majestic, but also very majestic. There is a golden plaque on the lintel, and the book reads: "Shenglong Palace" three big characters, today's ceremony, is held here.
What is enshrined in the middle of the hall is not the ancestor of the Sanqing Dynasty or anything, but the goddess Yao Ji of Wushan. It is said that Yao Ji is the daughter of the Queen Mother of the West, who went down the mountain to help Dayu control the water, and incarnated into the goddess peak to protect the safety of the party. It is also appropriate to worship the goddess of Wushan here.
In the open space in front of the main hall, the altar has already been set up. Xu Bin sacrificed to heaven and earth and recited the prayer. Then comes the apprenticeship ceremony. Until today, these orphans can be regarded as real apprentices and become disciples of the Wushan Demon Sect.
The next one is that everyone came forward to congratulate and presented gifts. I was a poor man and had nothing, so I gave the dragon tendon to Xu Bin. The other scattered people also had their own gifts. Taishan faction is the largest, bringing a lot of gifts, spells and swords, all kinds of curiosities, it is really eye-opening.
When it was Leng Yitong's turn, she presented a small wooden box, opened it and saw that it was a piece of jade. As soon as everyone saw this piece of jade, they immediately exclaimed-
