Chapter 12: Coagulation
Mu Qingyun couldn't help muttering in her heart, why didn't she need to transmit the note this time, but arranged a senior brother to pass the message, are you still afraid that she won't be able to go back if she is disobedient?
Thinking like this, Mu Qingyun's mouth unconsciously pursed.
"Not bad", Song Kai nodded, "This new disciple of the sect is about to start the condensation ceremony, and the head of the sect specially sent me to pick up the little junior sister, so as not to miss the wrong time."
"Clotting rituals?"
Mu Qingyun's eyes lit up, she had grown up in the Cloud Mist Sect since she was a child, although she could only start practicing after testing the spiritual root at the age of five, but she had heard of the condensation ceremony.
Coagulation, as the name suggests, is the meaning of condensing the marrow.
In order to lay a good foundation for their disciples, within a year of the disciple's first entry into the path, the great sects and some top families will collect the treasures of heaven and earth, configure them into a condensing pulp, and let the disciples bathe in the soup for about an hour.
"Brother Song, let's hurry up and leave!"
Father and mother actually agreed to participate in the condensation ceremony, Mu Qingyun's happy eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he couldn't help urging Song Kai.
Song Kai shook his head and drove Danhe to lead the way.
Although Mu Qingyun was in a hurry, it was not easy to get past Song Kai in front, and besides, she didn't know where the condensation ceremony would be held, so she had to follow Song Kai obediently.
The two of them went one after the other, and it was about the time of a stick of incense, and Mu Qingyun followed Song Kai to the Temple of Heaven in the sect.
This is generally the place where the sect meets the visitors, as one of the facades of the sect, the Temple of Heaven has a vast area, and the ancient trees around it are scattered, forming a formation by itself, giving people a sense of grandeur and magnificence.
Horses are not allowed to enter the Temple of Heaven, and of course the head of the sect and the elders of the various peaks in the sect are not here.
Song Kai led Mu Qingyun to stop at the entrance of the Temple of Heaven, and at this time, there happened to be a steward leading a team of disciples to the entrance.
When the steward saw Song Kai at the entrance, his expression was stunned, and then he quickly stepped forward and said, "I've seen Uncle Song."
Song Kai nodded slightly, his gaze swept over the row of disciples behind the steward, and said, "How many batches is this?"
The steward hurriedly replied: "Back to Uncle Song, it is the sixth batch, the first five batches of disciples have been arranged, and this is the last batch." ”
Speaking of this, the steward's gaze inadvertently crossed over Mu Qingyun, secretly speculating about Song Kai's intentions.
"So just right", Song Kai's expression was relieved, the head of the house meant not to reveal the identity of the little junior sister, so that if he missed the time to enter the altar, it would be a little troublesome, and he didn't want to catch up with the last batch.
He couldn't help but show a smile on his face: "It just so happens that a child of the clan in the sect has entered the Dao this year, and he has taken over the order at the door and allowed him to participate in this condensation ceremony."
When the steward heard Song Kai say this, there was a look of understanding on his face.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the sect, although the sect has jurisdiction over the large and small families, but among them, there are only Gu, Song, and Chen families who have a certain influence in the sect.
He can basically be sure that the little girl brought by Uncle Song is a disciple of Uncle Song's own family, and her qualifications may be average, but her identity in the family is definitely not ordinary, otherwise she would not be so valued by the family.
You must know that the sect recruits disciples every five years, and only those with good qualifications who directly enter the inner gate are eligible to participate in the condensation ceremony.
However, there are special exceptions, if the family under the jurisdiction of the sect has a disciple of the appropriate age, on the premise of giving a certain offering to the sect, the family disciple can be exchanged for the opportunity to participate in the new disciple's condensation ceremony, and how big this opportunity is depends on the influence and voice of the respective family in the sect.
Consciously guessing the matter, the steward soon knew what he should do, and he hurriedly leaned over: "Yes, the disciple respectfully obeys the order of the palm." ”
Although Mu Qingyun didn't quite understand what Song Kai meant, she also heard it, she couldn't reveal her identity, she didn't care about this, as long as she could participate in the condensation ceremony.
Her eyes fell on the disciples behind the steward, and she couldn't help but be a little excited, her mother had not allowed her to get along with outsiders too much since she was a child, and she didn't want to suddenly agree to participate in such a lively ceremony this time.
Or did this just mean what her father meant, and her mother didn't know? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be secretly anxious, and she was worried that she would be intercepted halfway.
