Quiet Bamboo Xuan, the lotus pond is fragrant, and the bamboo is green.

Li Zifeng and Ouyang Tian have been sitting opposite each other in front of the chess table in the study for a long time, and the tea on the side has been replaced by two pots.

Ouyang Tian looked at Li Zifeng's eyes, then put away the sunspots on the chess table, and smiled deeply, "It's really not easy to do this." ”

The sound of the chess pieces entering the chess box 'crackled', crisp and pleasant, Li Zifeng pinched Bai Zi's hand slightly, and looked up at Ouyang Tian, but it was still not very clear in front of him, "The disciple's chess skills are clumsy, you don't dislike it..."

"Old man, remember that you used to disdain to say such high-sounding things. Ouyang Tian stroked the white beard under his forehead, and his blazing gaze always wandered on Li Zifeng.

Li Zifeng couldn't see clearly, and he couldn't find out Ouyang Tian's eyes after all, but Ouyang Tian penetrated the bottom of people's hearts so directly, and it would no longer make him as cramped and uneasy as before, and he also understood the meaning of Ouyang Tian's words.

Li Zifeng put down the chess pieces in his hand and said indifferently, "The disciple used to see the painting and calligraphy of mountains and rivers in the master's study, and he only felt that the painting was magnificent, and the painter was exquisite. Now that he has returned, the disciple has pondered it carefully and understood the meaning of the painting. ”

"What can you see?" Ouyang Tian was silent, but in his heart, he was very satisfied with Li Zifeng's transparency.

"Everyone's relationship with the little family. Li Zifeng paused and continued, "Don't worry, the disciple's original intention is still the same. ”

Ouyang Tian looked at Li Zifeng deeply, "Very good, what the old man wants, that's what you say!"

On the sixth day of the good month, the autumn is high and cool, the sky is blue, and the pale golden light is sprinkled, which makes the brick and tile of the Ning Xiao Yang Palace, adding a bit of solemnity and majesty.

Today is Li Zifeng's initiation ceremony, to be precise, the second initiation ceremony, which is the first time I have seen it in the Hengshan faction. None of the disciples who were expelled from the sect could come back. And Li Zifeng's return shows that Ouyang Ze wants to admit in public the mistakes he has made over the years because of the conspiracy of traitors.

The main hall of Ning Xiao's Yang Hall was in front of him, Li Zifeng slowly entered, and saw Ouyang Ze, the head of the sect, sitting in the first place, a total of eighteen elders in the door and the Foreign Affairs Hall in order, and the deacons and disciples under his door were already waiting.

Li Zifeng exhaled deeply, except for his position, everything else was very similar to the scene when he was framed and interrogated, especially when he saw Shang Huaifeng again, he seemed to recall that he was heart-rending and painful when he swallowed the bitter pill in the torture room that night.

Seeing Li Zifeng dressed in disciple clothes and walking towards him step by step, Ouyang Ze had mixed feelings in his heart, guilt, excitement, expectation, and even nervousness. Although everything is simple, Ouyang Ze always disagrees to omit this step, he doesn't want to lose Li Zifeng. Since Li Zifeng lost face and was shattered under the eyes of everyone. So now, we have to welcome Li Zifeng back again like this.

Li Zifeng walked slowly to the middle of the main hall, lifted the corners of his heavy clothes, solemnly knelt on his knees, and kowtowed three times to Ouyang Ze, "Disciple Li Zifeng meets the master." Then he kowtowed three times to the elders sitting on both sides, "Disciple Li Zifeng greets the elders. ”

After Ouyang Ze stepped forward to help him up, the first step of the entrance was completed. The next step is to set up incense and worship the ancestors. The location is located in the inner hall of the Ningxiao Yang Palace, on the wall in the middle of the inner hall, there is a portrait of the ancestor of the Hengshan faction, and above the incense table below, there are already attendant disciples who have arranged the incense burner tribute and other products.

When everyone returned to their positions, Li Zifeng knelt in front of the portrait of Shi Haotian, the ancestor of the mountain, and knelt and kowtowed.

Then Ouyang Ze lit three incense sticks to worship the ancestors, "The ancestors are above, the twelfth generation of Hengshan faction disciple Li Zifeng, excellent in civil and military affairs, good conduct, and excellent in everything and conduct." Later, because his disciple Ouyang Ze was confused for a while, he committed a major mistake and expelled him from the school, and Li Zifeng endured the humiliation and burden......"

Ouyang Ze's words moved everyone present, they had never seen the head like this. Li Zifeng knelt silently, listening to Ouyang Ze's words of admitting his mistake to the ancestors, and his heart was full of feelings.

After returning to his senses, Ouyang Ze had finished worshipping, and handed the three incense sticks to his hands with the existing attendant disciples, Li Zifeng worshiped the incense step by step, and then recited the door rules to the portrait of the ancestor of the sect, saying that it was recitation, but in fact, it was reciting word by word, the first time it was strange and timid, and this time, it was heavy......

After reciting the door rules, you have to move on to the next step, apprenticeship. Ouyang Ze and the elders and the inner room sat down, Li Zifeng knelt upright facing Ouyang Ze, and a disciple handed a cup of hot tea to Li Zifeng with both hands, Li Zifeng took the tea cup and presented it to Ouyang Ze with both hands, Ouyang Ze took it calmly and looked at Li Zifeng deeply.

Everyone held their breath, and the contradictions, misunderstandings, entanglements, and grievances between Ouyang Ze and Li Zifeng were all in their eyes. They also knew something about Li Zifeng's temperament, and they didn't believe that just because of what Ouyang Ze said to the ancestors, Li Zifeng could put down the mustard and start over.

Li Zifeng closed his mouth tightly, hesitating and struggling, he also understood that all eyes were looking at him, to see if he would let Ouyang Ze not get off the stage in public, but in just a few breaths, Li Zifeng solemnly kowtowed three times to Ouyang Ze, and bowed his hand, "Disciple Li Zifeng, meet... Master. ”

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief,

Ouyang Ze took a symbolic sip of tea, stepped forward and put the bronze ring of the head disciple on Li Zifeng's right middle finger again, Li Zifeng felt the coldness and heaviness of the ring slightly, he couldn't forget the heart-rending feeling when Ouyang Ze angrily took the ring off his hand under the false accusation back then.

Zhou Yixiang saw that Li Zifeng was deep in thought, so he gently pushed him, Li Zifeng came back to his senses, kowtowed again in the face of Ouyang Ze, and said with a solemn expression, "The disciple must obey the teacher's orders and abide by the door rules......"

After seeing that Li Zifeng had met the elders, he helped him up, and Xu Zining led the deacon disciples to salute Li Zifeng, "Senior brother." ”

Ouyang Ze couldn't hide a smile in his eyes, he waved his hand, Mo Xuan walked in with a tray, on the delicate wooden tray, there was a jade plate and a seal, representing the rights and status of the chief disciple.

Ouyang Ze announced, "Today's great disciple Li Zifeng has re-entered the sect and continues to take over the position of chief disciple, and if necessary, he can act as the head of the sect. ”

Everyone sighed for a while, and they were all envious, Ouyang Ze gave Li Zifeng the right to put down the power of acting as the head of the sect, and he had the right to cut first and then play, and no one in the entire sect had the right except for the head and the old master.

Hai Yi coughed, "What kind of system is it like this, have you forgotten where it is?!"

Everyone quieted down for a moment, Li Zifeng took the object in Mo Xuan's hand, and bowed deeply to Ouyang Ze and all the elders, "Master in charge, all the elders, rest assured, the disciple will not be dishonored." ”

Although the ceremony was simple, it also lasted for a full hour from the beginning to the end. The ceremony is over, and the ceremony is completed.

At the same time, Yeyang City was shining brightly and the traffic was busy, and it was not affected by the situation in the slightest. Shen Zhiping stood in front of the window of the Qingsong Hall study, facing the direction of the Hengshan faction, and was deeply engrossed.

Shen Zhiping has never liked the icing on the cake, so Li Zifeng's entrance ceremony, finally under his 'insistence', missed it, everyone in the Hengshan faction is happy for Li Zifeng, maybe only he can deeply understand the struggle and helplessness in Li Zifeng's heart. Shen Zhiping sighed slightly.

At this time, Ye Li knocked on the door with a secret letter in his hand, "Hall Master." ”

Shen Zhiping came back to his senses, "Come in." ”

Ye Li hurriedly entered and handed over the secret letter in his hand, "The secret guard sent by Qingsong Hall to Wei'an City has a message. ”

Shen Zhiping opened the envelope, Ye Li retreated knowingly, and there were only eight short words on the letterhead: The Prime Minister's Mansion of Wei'an City is walking. Shen Zhiping muttered in his heart, the Prime Minister's Mansion is tightly guarded, how can it be possible to go to the water? Even if it is to go to the water, how can this news be reported through a secret letter? Unless... Shen Zhiping's expression tightened.

The hand of Lingye Palace has reached out to the Prime Minister's Mansion!
