Chapter 9: The Bestowal of Names
Ziyang Zhenren asked with a smile, "Child, do you have a name now?"
The little beggar was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "Back to the head of the house, the disciple's surname is Chen, but there is no name, the disciple has been adopted by Daddy Chen in Mulberry Village since he was a child, and the disciple is grateful to Daddy Chen's ten years of nurturing, so with Daddy Chen's surname, the disciple does not know who his biological parents are, after Daddy Chen's death, the disciple will make a living by begging. ”
Lu Zhengshan stood up and saluted with one palm: "If a person has a surname, he must not be nameless, and please ask the senior brother in charge to give this child one, so that it will be convenient for him in the future." ”
Ziyang Zhenren stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "This son has a difficult life and a bad fate, now he has entered my door, and I hope that he will return to the right path, become the pillar of the door, and the talent among the people, I will give you the word 'Jianping', 'sword', strong and upright, 'peaceful', stable, suppressed, peaceful, lonely and bitter in the mountains, I hope you will be safe, from now on, you will be called 'Jianping', how about the word 'An'?"
The little beggar has no name since he was a child, even if it is a person in the village, most of them call him as a little beggar, a little mongrel, etc., he doesn't care since he was a child, if someone calls him, he agrees, if someone scolds him, he will dodge, since today Fang has been famous, with tears in his eyes, he knelt on the ground, and thanked him: "Thank you for the name of the master, the disciple will not live up to the high expectations of the master." ”
Lu Zhengshan said to Chen Jianping: "In the future, I will devote myself to cultivation, and I hope you can take the word 'Jianping'." ”
Chen Jianping said loudly: "Yes, the disciple should keep it in mind. After that, he stood behind Lu Zhengshan in a proper manner.
Ziyang Zhenren smiled slightly, looked around the seat, and said: "Today's matter has this result, it is also considered a merit, in addition, there are five years that my Xuanyu Gate once every sixty years to worship the heavens, feel the kindness of heaven, think about the lack of our generation, at that time, not only the palaces and halls in the door will gather, but also the major sects in the world will gather in the 'Tongtiantai', the matter is big, all the juniors and disciples must prepare quickly." ”
The eight masters replied in unison: "Please rest assured, senior brother in charge, we will do it properly." ”
Ziyang Zhenren waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's all mundane affairs, and we can't meditate with a clear mind, so we will have to work for all the junior brothers, just nod slightly, get up and walk towards the apse." ”
All the masters and disciples said in unison: "Congratulations to the real person in charge." ”
The eight masters stayed in the hall to continue to discuss how to prepare for the heavenly festival in five years, the disciples of each palace and hall were waiting outside, Chen Jianping followed Geng and Lu out of the hall, Lu Dayong patted Chen Jianping lightly on the shoulder and said: "Little junior brother, I will be your fifth senior brother in the future, you have to be obedient." ”
Chen Jianping learned from the appearance of everyone, and saluted with a single palm: "Yes! ”
Lu Dayong was surprised and asked, "Hey, junior brother, I haven't told you yet, how do you know that he is a senior brother?"
Chen Jianping smiled slightly and said: "Fifth senior brother, you forgot, when you were in the south of the mountain, you screamed as a senior brother and a senior brother, I still don't know." ”
Geng Jingyun smiled, pointed to Lu Dayong and said: "Dayong, I think the little junior brother's brain is much brighter than yours, you used to be the youngest, and all the senior brothers let you, so it's easy to have a little junior brother, and you have also become a senior brother, but now I look at it, you will probably have to suffer the loss of this little junior brother in the future, hahaha......"
Lu Dayong scratched his head and smiled: "Senior brother is used to making fun of his brother. ”
Chen Jianping pretended to be distressed with his hands on his cheeks and said: "Senior brother, I heard that small way in the layman forest, there are many disciples in each palace and hall, and the least must be two or three hundred, and I am the latest to start, isn't there two or three hundred senior brothers. ”
Geng and Lu laughed when they heard this, Lu Dayong bent over with laughter, and said intermittently: "Isn't it...... Little junior brother, let's talk about it in Ziyun Palace...... Not to mention that there are four or five hundred disciples, and after you go back, you will perform the entrance salute and discipline you for three days and three nights. ”
After hearing this, Chen Jianping thought: "This is terrible, but I always feel that Lu Dayong's words are somewhat joking", so he looked at Geng Jingyun expectantly, but Geng Jingyun said with a serious face: "There are only a few hundred kowtows left and right, people who practice martial arts, what is this?"
Chen Jianping: "......"
Geng and Lu were silent, and suddenly laughed, and Lu Dayong laughed: "Hahaha, big ...... The elder brother also said that he was clever, which was not the same as when I first started. ”
Geng Jingyun cleared his throat and said: "Little junior brother, don't worry, you don't know, in this gate, with Tongtianguan as the respect, for thousands of years, Xuanyu Gate has grown stronger and stronger, and has continuously set up branches, to this day, there are a total of three palaces, four halls, One dwelling eight branches, this dwelling is a leisurely residence, yesterday you lived in the lay forest is one of them, each palace and each hall is led by the master, the recruited disciples are divided into two kinds of disciples and ordinary disciples, the number of ordinary disciples is large, eight people and a team, set up a team of sixty-four people, set up a captain, and the disciples who enter the room, most of them are the people who have crossed the fate when the master travels down the mountain, or the people with good qualifications among the ordinary disciples, the number is very small.
Lu Dayong said: "Senior Brother is right, the most disciples who have entered the room are only seven or eight people in each palace and hall, all of whom are people with good qualifications, ordinary disciples are all referred to as senior brothers, or call them by their names, and the disciples who enter the room are sorted according to the entry time. ”
Geng Jingyun grabbed Chen Jianping's shoulder and continued: "Little junior brother, counting you, we have a total of six disciples in the Purple Cloud Palace, and you are the latest to enter, so you are naturally ranked last, but even so, when ordinary disciples see you, they must also respect you Senior Brother Chen, as soon as you enter the house, you will be favored by the master in charge, and our master will accept you as a disciple, ordinary disciples dare not think about such an adventure, this is also unique in Xuanyu Sect for thousands of years, you have to cherish this supreme fate!"
Chen Jianping nodded heavily and said, "Well, senior brother, I remember." ”
At this time, Lu Zhengshan's voice suddenly came from behind: "Jingyun is right, this kind of fate can be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but you don't need to be too obsessed with it, practicing martial arts is important, but the most important thing is to act and behave, this is the foundation of everything, don't rush to achieve quick success, put the cart before the horse." ”
The three of them were startled, turned around and saw that the master Lu Zhengshan had walked out of the hall, only to see him smiling, standing with his hands in his hands, the breeze blowing, the corners of his robe moved slightly, and the whole person looked extremely dignified and dignified.
The three of them saluted Lu Zhengshan, Chen Jianping was an orphan since he was a child, wandering around, he tasted the warmth and coldness of human affection, and was used to seeing the hot and cold world.
Although it was only the first time to meet, but in his small heart he was like a god of respect, although the two senior brothers have not known each other for a long time, but they are temperamental people, they treat him with sincerity, for the first time in his life, he felt that in this world, he finally has a place to stand, and he was very moved for a while.
Chen Jianping bowed down and saluted to the master: "The disciple has to be taken in by the master, and he will be rebuilt with grace, and it will be difficult to repay him even if he is broken in this life!"
Lu Zhengshan nodded and said with a smile: "It's also a sensible child, Dayong, take your junior brother, let's go back to the palace!"
At that moment, Geng, Lu, and Chen followed Master Lu Zhengshan down the mountain and headed for the Purple Cloud Palace.
After walking for a long time, I arrived at the Ziyun Palace, the Ziyun Palace is located on the top of the Ziyun Peak, hundreds of red-walled houses have been built along the mountain, the surrounding jade trees are in a hurry, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the mountains are full of springs, the stream flows for a long time, and it is a quiet and peaceful state.
A wide bluestone road on the top of the mountain extends and spreads, there is a huge red lacquered wooden door at the end of the road, and the horizontal plaque on the top reads "Ziyun Palace" three gilded characters, the three older disciples under the door have already been waiting in front of the door, and there are two rows of young disciples standing behind them, and the disciples salute in unison: "Welcome the master back to the palace!"
Chen Jianping saw that the three disciples in front of him were stable and had an extraordinary aura, and they expected to be the other three disciples who entered the room, and the disciples followed behind Lu Zhengshan and walked slowly towards the palace.
After a while, they arrived at the main hall "Ningxin Hall", and saw a beautiful woman standing in front of the door of Ningxin Hall, looking at them with a smile.
