Early in the morning, auspicious clouds were rolling, and Xiu Ming stood quietly in front of the portrait of Xianjun in Heyi Garden. On the offering table in front of the portrait is the moire incense burner, and the sky seal lies quietly next to the incense burner. Xiu Ming was wearing a seven-star robe that he had never worn on weekdays, and the seven stars of the Big Dipper on the robe seemed to contain the secret of the vast starry sky. The head holds the dragon hairpin, lifelike like a dragon coiling around the mountain. There is a rare solemnity between the eyebrows, and the two-year-old sword hangs from his waist, and his temperament is dusty.

It is clear that today is a special day for the entire Firmament Palace.

Behind the resignation stood a group of disciples such as Heavenly Fortune and Boundless Life. Every two years, on this day, the monks who have been on the Fox Mountain have to take out the three utensils like today, and the cultivators who have been destined to go to Fox Mountain in the past two years have been approved by the Fox Star Monarch, waiting for a formal apprenticeship ceremony every two years, and these disciples can be regarded as worshipping in the Fox Mountain Sky Palace.

Xiu Ming bowed respectfully to the portrait, and then a jade plate appeared on the table with three sticks of incense and a small basin of water on it.

After that, Hugh's middle finger was dipped in water, and a circle of ripples appeared on the surface of the water. After half a sound, the water surface boiled rapidly and gradually rose to form a water column, Xiu Ming stretched out two hands and the water column turned back and forth, and the water surface returned to calm after the two hands were washed.

Xiu Ming twisted the incense and lit it, and bowed to the portrait three times with a solemn mood, and his mind kept flashing back to this day of each year, and after the salute was completed, he inserted the incense into the ashes.

The smoke filled the room. Xiu Ming looked back at the disciples behind him, pinched the trick in his hand, everything in the room was like a piece of paper crumpled by someone, and then the whole room was distorted, and the disciples could not measure the changes in the Xuanhuang around them, and in the blink of an eye they were in another place. The surrounding rocks are scattered horizontally, like cracked clouds, and countless suspended stones create an independent space. In this space, large and small stones, disordered, high and low suspended in the air, like floating in a mirror. The heads are of different shapes, some are round like goose eggs, some are sharp like blades, the big ones cover the sky and the sun, and the small ones are as fine as dust.

Everyone present knew that this was the place where the disciples of the Firmament Palace competed on weekdays: Rocks and Clouds. Looking up, there were some disciples competing on the stone platform.

Standing still, with a pause under his feet, the sky shone through the clouds and gathered on the stone platform. He tilted his chin slightly and stood with his hands folded.

When the disciples of the martial arts competition saw this scene, they all stopped and said, "Master." At the same time, he stopped moving and watched all this silently.

Hugh didn't look at them, but said, "Let's start." The stone platform moved on its own, and the goal was to circle around Fox Mountain, and the glow that gathered and fell followed closely.

On the same stone platform, the disciples who are about to apprentice are standing on the left side. Xiu Ming sat down on the chair in front of the offering table, looked around at the disciple, nodded, and signaled that he could come forward.

Today's retirement is high, even in such an atmosphere, retirement is like the king of the ice frontier, if it is ice and snow at this moment, thousands of miles of ice and rock, he can also be indispensable.

All the disciples had to fall under the coercion of their master, as if they were in awe when they first saw them, as if they were dust under his eyes.

Xiu Mingguang waved his sleeves and said: "This year is the year of Jiazi, so the disciples who entered my Firmament Palace after the apprenticeship ceremony this time were lined up as Jiazi class. The Firmament Palace has been in place for thousands of years, and the disciples need to keep in mind the admonition of this place - to support justice, subdue demons and eliminate demons, so that the common people will be in trouble in the future and save the world. This gentleman is here, and he also repeats this admonition, that is, I hope that the new disciples can remember it. If a new disciple has this realization, then come forward. ”

"Yes, Master. The crowd agreed.

Wujingsheng looked at the Heavenly Fortune in front of him, and seeing that he was not in a hurry, he also took a step back. The disciple standing second suddenly took a step forward and said loudly, "Disciple comes first." ”

As the words fell, the glow in the sky seemed to respond, and it came through the clouds again, as the disciple gradually approached the resignation. He was born with a high nose and deep eyes, long reddish-brown curly hair tied into braids and hung down at his shoulders, and a leather jacket was worn diagonally on his upper body. The sturdy shoulders on the naked right side, exposing most of his chest, a pair of black trousers on the lower body, wearing black metal protective gear on his wrists and ankles, and a brown fur jacket with a physique higher than ordinary people, he is brave.

Seeing him kneeling, he knocked deeply three times, the teacup in his hand was always held steadily, and he said loudly: "Disciple Pingchang, worship under the Fox Mountain Sky Palace." Master, please have tea!"

Hugh nodded, took the tea and took a sip. Ping Chang got up, raised his head happily, and consciously walked to the end of the right side to stand still.

Immediately another disciple moved, and the glow came again, the disciple had a brown burlap caftan and a single bun on his head, and he couldn't pick out any characteristics in terms of dress or appearance. But he has a calm aura on his body, and his eyes are especially quiet, like deep lake water, soft and calm on the surface, but no one can touch the deeper emotions.

The disciple was calm, knelt down three times, and his gestures were indescribably precise, and one more of each action was too real, and one less was too false. He said softly: "Disciple, you will worship under the Fox Mountain Sky Palace. Master, please have tea!"

Hugh Ming looked at him for a while, and seemed to be very satisfied with "um", took the teacup and took a sip.

Yi Tong stood behind the new disciple on the left, everyone looked at the next disciple with anticipation because these two people had their own characteristics, and the glow shrouded him, because this person was slender and dressed in white, so he was slightly thin. When he got closer, he found that this person was quite a bit of the warmth of a Jiangnan scholar, and I don't know who muttered softly: "Girl?"

The white-clothed disciple looked like a young man, his eyes did not squint, as if he had not heard of it. His eyes are particularly bright, his eyebrows are clear, his low eyebrows will unconsciously give birth to some charm in the blink of an eye, his lips are red and his teeth are white, he is very beautiful, his face is good, and he is even more delicate than most of the female disciples on Fox Mountain, and it is better than taking heavenly luck.

It was a man, but a neutral voice sounded: "Disciple, if so, worship under the Fox Mountain Sky Palace." Master, please have tea!"

Xiu Ming nodded, took the tea as if he had something to say, glanced at him, and took a sip of it like the other disciples when they were serving tea.

Then there is the fortune of heaven, and then there are the people who have no realm. After the disciples finished their apprenticeship, Xiu Ming Zhenyi got up and said, "Licheng." ”

Wujingsheng just breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, only to feel that his feet suddenly shook, and he reached out to help him in time by Tianyun, and the surrounding scene changed again. Everyone's clothes were windless, and the floating rocks were scattered like dust.

When the feeling of dizziness passed, they returned to Heyi Yuan. There is still a section of the three incense sticks that were closed before.

The disciples were silent. Xiu Ming turned to the portrait of the Celestial Monarch of the Firmament, bowed deeply, bowed and said: "The disciple is resigned, take over the two Jiazi, accept fifteen disciples today, and teach them to become decent people, and the help of the common people will be used by the common people." ”

Several disciples also knelt down and kowtowed, and shouted respectfully, "Disciple to meet the ancestor." ”

One after another, each one is religious.

Xiu Ming turned to look at them and said, "Disciple of the Jiazi Class, you can enter and exit the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion from tomorrow, and you can flip through the books and ancient scrolls inside at will to find the exercises you want to practice the most. Ask one by one for the teacher's day. If nothing else, let's be gone today. ”

Seeing that the disciples were leaving, Xiu Ming's shoulders collapsed, sighed, looked back at the portrait of his master, his originally tense eyebrows and eyes were also relaxed, and he was a little helpless as before, "Master, it's been sixty times, how many more times do I have to do it?"

Xiu Ming raised his head and poured himself a drink, suddenly thought of something, stood up straight and said to the portrait of the Firmament Immortal Monarch: "There is one more thing, this apprentice, I have recruited a good seedling for you, if this kid can't become a big weapon, I will really go to you in two years." ”

He looked down and saw that the incense on the offering table had burned to the end, and a little fire suddenly brightened, but it was completely extinguished in an instant, and a piece of incense ash that had been saved also fell onto the table, losing its temperature, leaving a wisp of smoke.
