Thinking of this, Huang Chang couldn't help but raise his head and glanced at Master Changqingzi a few more times.

The latter immediately guessed his thoughts and chuckled softly:

"Do you think I've ever had this opportunity?"

Huang Chang laughed dryly, but saw Changqingzi untie his shirt and show him a brand on his chest - there was only a dragon pattern, and it was entrenched on his chest, and then he heard Changqingzi smile and say:

"As I said a long time ago, my luck on the road to cultivating immortals is better than yours - I used it once before when I was in distress, and it was originally the same as you: dragons and tigers are on the left and right. ”

At the end of the conversation, Changqingzi tidied up his clothes, looked at Huang Chang, and said with relief:

"Although this is not a simple tattoo mark, since the ancient Kunlun era, those who can carry the dragon and tiger brand out of the mountain have always been considered the most outstanding elite disciples of the Kunlun School. This is even more true now—Ah Chang, I'm glad that you can still get this brand sigil without knowing it. ”

............

About half a month later, at the head of Zixiao Peak, before the main hall of Zixiao Palace.

Huang Chang, Jin Rong, and several other sect disciples who had recently beaten the Bronze Horse Hall stood solemnly there, waiting to enter the hall for the apprenticeship ceremony.

Although Murong Ying and Wu Daniu also successfully passed the test, they did not participate in this ceremony - apprenticeship is a two-way choice: the master can choose the apprentice, and the apprentice can also choose the master. In this regard, Kunlun is still quite careful, and the Fa Yuan Immortal Master who intends to accept disciples can check the list and introduction of all the new white-clothed disciples. The reverse is also true: for every disciple who has beaten the Bronze Horse Hall, the sect will also give them a detailed introduction to the situation of these immortal masters, so that they can make a choice.

If it was a gray-clothed disciple who had been on the mountain for a long time and had long been familiar with the situation, most of them would have already had a master who he sincerely admired and wanted to follow. However, the disciples in blue are often a little ignorant. The sect will recommend masters who are good at the corresponding exercises, but it is still up to you whether you choose or not, if you feel that it is not suitable, it is also a way to delay it for the time being, and wait for the next batch.

Huang Chang has no problem at all, he has already visited his teacher, and now he just needs to go through the formal formalities. It was quite easy for Jin Rong to be selected - those who could reach the Sixth Heaven in the Blue Coat Stage were all good seedlings, and the immortal masters were very willing to be included in the sect. Jin Rong was born to be good at fire, and if there was a master who was good at fire-based exercises who was willing to accept him, it was natural to hit it off and quickly apprentice.

And Murong Ying has actually made a choice - he is a sword cultivator, and he is quite familiar with the sect's sword master. Moreover, he himself is also very good, and it is easy to be valued by sword cultivators. Murong Ying had already made an agreement with a senior master, but that Fa Yuan sword master was not on the mountain now—the fate of sword cultivation: looking for materials everywhere on the rivers and lakes, encountering opportunities, and improving the natal sword. So we can only wait for him to return to the mountain.

Only Wu Daniu was unanimously rejected by many immortal masters - not because he was not good, but because he felt that he was too good, and the cultivation path he took was a bit peculiar. Of course, the sect already has a plan in this regard, and plans to wait for a senior to come out of the customs before recommending it, but Wu Daniu may need to wait for a while.

However, as long as it is a true disciple of the sect, it will inevitably be cultivated with the most care, and it is only sooner or later, and everyone has nothing to worry about.

............

The apprenticeship ceremony was held in turn, Huang Chang waited for a long time, Jin Rong went in, and finally saw the little Taoist boy Qingsong who never grew up walking towards him and beckoning him to go to the Zixiao Hall to salute.

Huang Chang has been to Zixiao Hall many times, and he is already very familiar with Qingsong, and when he usually comes, he must have Qingsong chatting and eating some pine nuts. But this time, neither he nor Qingsong spoke, and entered the temple silently.

Everything in the Zixiao Hall is still the same, and Huang Chang is familiar with this place. It's just that this time, there are a lot more people in the hall. In addition to those immortal masters who accepted apprentices, there were also a number of people who came to watch the ceremony - just Huang Chang knew them, and he saw Yuan Zhenzi, Xiahou Yan, Tieguan Daoren, Xia Yuanji and many other bigwigs standing here.

And Master Changqingzi stood in front of the tablet of heaven and earth, but what he said was no different from back then.

"Huang Chang, are you willing to worship my West Kunlun Changqingzi as a teacher?"

"The disciple is willing. ”

Huang Changji knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to Changqingzi. One, two, three...... When he knocked to the sixth, the group of Fa Yuan Immortal Masters who were watching made some movements, as if they wanted to congratulate, but then they saw Huang Chang continue to knock down, and Chang Qingzi didn't stop him.

- Seven, eight, nine...... When Huang Chang completed the nine kowtows, the hall was quite quiet, and all the immortal masters didn't say anything, and their faces were a little surprised.

——Kunlun Immortal Master accepts apprentices, and does not engage in any complicated rituals, that is, the disciples kowtow to the master a few times, and from then on accept them as disciples and teach the Dharma. Huang Chang didn't understand it at all, and the master asked him to kowtow nine times and did it completely. But after staying in the mountains for a long time, I realized that the number of kowtows is also very particular.

It's usually three - Jin Rong's previous apprenticeship was three kowtows, and he wanted to kowtow more and not let others. And those who kowtow three heads to the entrance are just ordinary disciples, or students. The master teaches the Taoist skills, and when you have learned almost enough, you can become a teacher, and you can maintain a good relationship in the future, and it is okay.

On top of that, there are six kowtowers, called personal disciples, and their relationship with the master is much closer than that of ordinary masters and apprentices - if the master dies, the personal disciples are eligible to share the inheritance. The status is equivalent to family members and relatives, that is, the so-called "six prostrations of the teacher, life and death are related".

As for the above nine kowtows - "the first nine kowtows, from now on the mantle", the mantle disciple is the only inheritor of the master's Taoist lineage, if the above example is also used: the master is dead, if there are apprentices who have kowtowed to nine heads under the door, then he will preside over the distribution of the inheritance, or, simply not divide it - he has the right to inherit everything from the master!

Immortal cultivators have a long lifespan, and they may include countless disciples in their lifetime, but there are definitely not many disciples who really need to spend a lot of time and energy to cultivate, and there can only be one disciple in the mantle.

So, naturally, most monks don't make a decision lightly. Most monks don't even directly admit their own disciples, and if they are suitable, they are first accepted as ordinary disciples, and then patiently observed, and set up many tests - this process is often counted in years, or even more than ten years, and it is not uncommon until all aspects are very satisfied, and they will consider whether the disciple is worthy of their own careful training.
