Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Apprenticeship Ceremony

After Ma Wantang wrapped the eldest lady's body with aura, he said to everyone in the room: "It may take some time to dissolve, you all go out!"

Although everyone was very concerned, they did not dare to stay in the house anymore and retired one after another.

Out of the eldest lady's embroidery building, Lu Jian was still very worried, so he said to Jiang Shang that he wanted to wait outside.

Na Ma Dongdong also hugged his shoulders and stood in front of the door.

She glanced at Lu Jian and suddenly said, "Thank you!"

and he spoke no more.

Lu Jian also smiled helplessly at her temperament.

Lu Jian suddenly remembered something, pulled Jiang Shang and asked in a low voice: "What is the Spirit Kingdom that can be sealed!

Jiang Shang smiled and said: "I don't actually understand, it probably means that after reaching the Spirit Kingdom Realm, there will be a special skill that can seal some situations in the body, this kind of skill that is only available above the Spirit Kingdom Realm, where can we say clearly." ”

Lu Jian "Oh!" and said, "Then how do you know that this skill can treat the eldest lady's condition?"

Jiang Shang said triumphantly: "This is the power of knowledge!"

Seeing his stinky fart, Lu Jian resisted the urge to hit him.

Waiting for others is the most anxious thing.

Time passed little by little, and even a person with a calm mind like Lu Jian became a little impatient.

After a while, I heard a sound on the stairs and knew that Ma Wantang had to come downstairs.

With Ma Wantang's cultivation like this, there would not have been such a big noise, and it seems that Ma Wantang is a little tired.

Sure enough, as soon as Ma Wantang came out of the small building, Lu Jian saw that his face was full of fatigue.

Lu Jian hurriedly asked, "Sect Master, how is the eldest lady?"

Ma Wantang smiled slightly: "Although it is a little troublesome, the Gu worm has been removed, but she will be fine if she rests and rests!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately put their minds at ease. Especially Ma Dongdong, tears flowed out.

Ma Wantang waved his hand at a few people and said, "It's nothing, you all go back and rest!"

Everyone bowed and bowed and asked Ma Wantang to resign.

Ma Wantang looked at Lu Quan, and suddenly said, "Lu Quan, you will come to my study at noon tomorrow!" After speaking, he turned around and left.

Lu Jian was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what he meant, so he had no choice but to respond and go back with Jiang Shang.

While walking Lu Press, he asked Jiang Shang suspiciously: "Old Jiang, what do you say the sect master will ask me to do tomorrow?"

Jiang Shang shook his head and said, "Then how do I know? The sect master has always been deep, and his mind is not easy to guess. But well, since you saved the eldest lady, it must be a good thing!"

Lu Jian scratched his head and said, "I didn't do anything, didn't I just take out a pill!"

Jiang Shang angrily slapped Lu Jian on the back of his head: "You are stupid, that is a sixth-level elixir, close to the elixir!

Lu Jian smiled and said: "Any pill only has its value if it is saved, otherwise it will be fine!"

Jiang Shang shook his head and sighed: "You show the sixth-level pill so easily, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!

When Lu Jian saw Jiang Shang's old-fashioned appearance, he felt ridiculous, so he didn't listen to his nagging.

At noon the next day, Lu Jian came to the study of Ma Wantang in the backyard early, and saw that there were no waiting disciples at the door of the study.

"Come in!"

Ma Wantang's voice came from the study.

Lu Jian answered, lifted the curtain and walked into the study.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Ma Wantang sitting on a chair and reading a book.

Seeing Lu Pressure coming in, Ma Wantang motioned for Lu Pressure to sit down on the chair next to him.

Lu Jian sat lightly on the chair after saluting and looked at Ma Wantang.

Ma Wantang put down the book, looked at Lu Jian without blinking, and did not speak.

Lu Jian was a little hairy when he saw it, and he said helplessly: "Sect Master, I don't know what to call me here!"

Ma Wantang suddenly said, "Are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"

"Huh?" Lu Jian was completely unprepared, and he didn't know what to say with his mouth open.

Ma Wantang smiled and said, "I'm asking you, I want to accept you as a closed disciple, are you willing?"

It stands to reason that a new disciple like Lu Jian will generally worship a teacher who is slightly higher than his generation, such as Qiu Xiong, but Ma Wantang is the sect master of the Ma Temple, which is more than two generations higher than Qiu Xiong.

Although Lu Jian was not very clear about the arrangement of the generations of this sect, he also knew that if Ma Wantang accepted him as an apprentice, it would be quite an exceptional thing.

Therefore, Lu Nuonuo didn't know what to say.

Seeing that he was so nervous, Ma Wantang said easily: "Don't be nervous, the reason why I want to accept you as an apprentice, first, you saved the little girl, I can't repay it, to put it bluntly, I really can't find a gift equal to the sixth-level pill." Second, I've seen you practice boxing, and you do have understanding, and I'm also a lover!"

Lu Quan said in a low voice: "The disciple has just started, and he is reckless by nature, and he never thought that he would be appreciated by the sect master!"

Ma Wantang laughed and said, "Don't say more kind words, you just say that you are willing to worship me as a teacher?"

Lu Pressure looked at Ma Wantang and felt that he was not joking, so he said: "If the sect master doesn't dislike Lu Quan's poor qualifications, of course Lu Pressure is willing to worship you as a teacher!"

Ma Wantang laughed and said, "Okay, okay, let's settle it like this, in a few days, I will choose an auspicious day for the zodiac and hold a ceremony to accept disciples in the sect!"

Lu pressed up and saluted: "Thank you Sect Master for seeing Lu Press!"

Ma Wantang was in a very good mood, waved his hand and said, "You go back and prepare first, and in two days, I will hold a grand ceremony for you!"

Back at the residence, Lu Jian felt like he was dreaming.

Jiang Shang saw him sitting still, asked the reason, and laughed, happy for Lu Jian for a long time.

On the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, the ancient dragon raised its head!

The courtyards of the Horse Temple are full of lights and beaming!

It turned out that a great happy event happened in the sect, that is, the sect leader Ma Wantang opened the mountain gate again after a lapse of several decades and accepted a closed disciple.

The last time Ma Wantang accepted disciples was decades ago, so this acceptance of disciples is of great significance.

Because Ma Wantang didn't want to be too high-profile, he didn't inform the other friendly sects, but just performed a grand ceremony in this sect.

When he learned that Ma Wantang was going to accept Lu Jian as an apprentice, he was most surprised by those people.

It is said that after Puning learned the news, he got drunk that night, banged his head against the wall, and kept gritting his teeth, but he didn't dare to say anything.

After Ma Rong learned the news, she was so shocked that she didn't dare to go out for a few days, and when she reappeared, some people felt that she had lost a lot of weight in a trance.

On the day of getting the news, Chai Jie sat in the hall and didn't move for a long time, and when he got up again, his steps staggered a little.

Some people are shocked, some people are happy, and the happiest one is, of course, Lu Press's sworn friend Jiang Shang, this guy has been holding his head up these days, as if he was accepted as an apprentice.

After Ling Xiao and Wu Bai got the news, they were also in different moods.

Whether you like it or not, the apprenticeship ceremony always has to be done.

On that day, the Patriarch Hall of the Horse Temple was overcrowded.

The Horse Temple's leading figures gathered in the hall, while other people of lower status waited in a row.

Lu Jian stood at the bottom of the hall and quietly looked at the people in the hall, there were people he knew, such as: Elder Meng, Elder Kong, the eldest lady who had recovered from illness, etc

There are also four men and two women who are unknown to each other.

It is said that they are the six disciples of Ma Wantang, these people have been famous for many years and have been away all the year round, and this time, they were specially rushed back.

The eldest disciple was a white-haired old man, and he looked older than Ma Wantang.

After all, Lu Jian was still a teenager, and when he saw so many people staring at him, he didn't feel a little sweaty palms.

As the bell rang in Dangdang, a master of ceremonies shouted: "The auspicious time has arrived, and the apprenticeship ceremony has begun!"

Lu Jian hurriedly sorted out his clothes, bowed slightly and walked to the front of the hall.

Ma Wantang was also dressed in a dress today, smiling.

He first took Lu Jian to kowtow to the ancestral tablets of the ancestors enshrined in the ancestral hall.

Then, he sat on the main seat and accepted Lu Quan's tea ceremony.

The ceremony was carried out simply and solemnly.

Seeing Lu Jian kneeling in front of Ma Wantang and saluting, the eldest lady hiding behind had a smile on her face, full of joy.

Pu Ning, who was in the hall in the distance, saw this scene, he lowered his head, his face was hideous, his fists were clenched, and because he was too hard, his fingernails pierced his palms and blood flowed out.

On the other side, Jiang Shang kept slapping his hands and turned red.

The ceremony lasted for more than an hour, and some people felt that it was extremely tormenting, while others felt that time flew by.

When the master of ceremonies officially wrote Lu Quan's name into the genealogy, the whole ceremony reached a climax.

"Congratulations to Lu Jian for officially becoming the thirteenth generation disciple of the Horse God Temple!"

Subsequently, congratulations, congratulations, and a circle of people around Lu Pressure, everyone behaved differently, and the whole scene was very lively.

The eldest lady Ma Keke quietly walked to Lu Quan, who was tired of socializing and sweating, and said softly: "Congratulations to Senior Brother Lu!"

Lu Jian smiled bitterly at her: "Senior sister, I'm about to shout for help!"

Marco knew his temperament, and it was more painful to entertain him like this than to let him die.

Ma Keke nodded at him, then quietly walked to Ma Wantang's side and whispered a few words.

Ma Wantang turned around and looked at Lu Pressure, who was at a loss, and smiled.

He stretched out his hands, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said loudly: "Thank you for your support, but everything in our rivers and lakes is simple, today, let's go here!"

As soon as he said this, everyone didn't dare to make any more trouble, so they took their leave.

Lu Jian kept wiping away the sweat on his head, and he was really resistant to this kind of scene in his heart.

The white-haired old man walked to Ma Wantang's side at this time, bowed down and saluted: "Master, congratulations on your old man's receipt of the closed disciple, can you let the junior apprentice and all the junior disciples have a banquet for the junior brother?"

Ma Wantang laughed and said: "Tiancheng, I don't know what your idea is to be a teacher, do you want to give the little junior brother a drink, Cheng, you go, but the little junior brother is still young, don't bully him too much!"

The white-haired old man smiled and said, "No, no, Master, who dares to bully him, who dares to bully him!"
