Chapter 36: Apprenticeship

Everyone present was a little surprised, and they were all thinking in their hearts: This kid is so bold that he actually started to put forward conditions right now; the hall master was about to take a step forward and was about to reprimand Kong Rui, but he heard a faint voice from the head of the house: "Listen to the conditions he proposed first." Presumably, all Zhangfeng heard it, so they had no objections, just waiting for what kind of conditions Kong Rui proposed.

Sima He was happy in his heart, this kid dared to think and dare to speak, but it was much stronger than those who dared to think and dare to say, no matter what the conditions, as long as it was not too much, he could allow him, and immediately asked: "What conditions to say, let's listen." ”

Kong Rui said loudly: "I have a younger sister, who should be at the outer gate now." My mother asked me to take care of her before she died, and I wanted to let her enter the Spirit Machine. ”

As soon as Sima He heard that this was such a condition, he opened his mouth and said: "This condition is not too much, this seat agrees." Kong Rui was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master." ”

When the other palms heard this, they all felt disapproving, only the head, Sima He and a few palms secretly praised in their hearts, thinking that this child was affectionate and righteous, and dared to think and do, but unfortunately it was only a twofold spiritual root, otherwise it would become a great tool;

All the disciples were quickly selected, the master, the various vein palms and the hall master all floated away, and a black-robed man came into the Hidden Dragon Hall to explain to them the etiquette and rules of going to the Ancestor Hall, and first let them go back to the dormitory to pack their things and prepare to enter the inner hall of the Tree Hall.

Kong Rui and Yun Gang returned to the dormitory together, and when they entered the room, they saw Long Zheng sitting on the bed alone and sulking. Kong Rui and Yun Gang only learned that of the eight people in their dormitory, Kong Rui and Yun Gang Kailing had successfully become inner disciples, and Long Zheng was only an outer disciple, and the others had been eliminated.

Kong Rui thought to himself: Only more than 70 of the 1,500 or 600 people have succeeded in opening the spirit, and only one out of twenty people has succeeded, and two of the eight people in their dormitory have succeeded very well, but he doesn't know how to persuade Long Zheng, only that there will be a chance for everyone to take care of each other in the future, but how does he know that this inner door and outer door are the two ways of immortals, and the difference will become bigger and bigger in the future; Yun Gang ignored them on the side, just packed up his things and urged them to leave quickly.

When he arrived at the inner hall of the Shuren Hall, Kong Rui knew the difference between the inner door and the outer door, he and Yun Gang still lived in a dormitory for two people, and the room was much more spacious and bright, Long Zheng's room was the same as them, but it was a dormitory for six people; Kong Rui and Yun Gang changed into light blue robes, and Long Zheng and other outer disciples still wore the original light blue robes; even if they walked on the road, the outer disciples had to be polite to the inner disciples.

Seeing this situation, Kong Rui was stunned in his heart, and immediately thought of Su Yun, she is in the outer gate, how to help her? Kong Rui thought: People who are slightly inferior in the mine valley will have to find a powerful person as a backer, although he is now an inner disciple, but he is only a beginner, and he is only a two-fold spiritual root, and he is also the lowest existence among the inner disciples, so he has to secretly make up his mind to work hard to improve his cultivation.

The Patriarch Hall of Wuxuanzong was built on a towering peak in the middle of the mountain range, and a series of very important institutions such as the Wanshi Hall and the Zangjing Pavilion were built around the Patriarch Hall. Kong Rui and the others were all shouted before dawn, and after cleaning up, they marched to the ancestral hall. The inner disciples and outer disciples who had just entered the school totaled nearly two hundred and seventy or eighty people, and under the leadership of several deacon disciples in black robes, they marched forward in a majestic manner. Kong Rui slipped around the team, and saw that Su Yun was chatting happily with several female disciples of the outer sect, so he didn't want to disturb, and found Yun Gang and walked with him all the way.

When approaching the peak of the mountain where the Patriarch Hall was located, Kong Rui saw that there were black clouds or gray clouds supporting some people in and out, and he was so envious in his heart, he didn't know when he would have this magical power to control the clouds and mist.

After another half an hour, their group climbed halfway up the mountain, all of them were tired and out of breath, but the deacon disciples who were traveling with them asked them to breathe and calm down as soon as possible, and the ceremony of paying homage to the patriarch was about to begin.

Kong Rui looked around, only to see that there is a square square on the top of this half of the mountain, there is a magnificent hall built on the mountain, there are huge statues of various colors standing on both sides of the square, giving people a solemn feeling, and there is no one driving the clouds on this square, all of them are walking on the square. Kong Rui didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so he hurriedly tidied up his clothes, sat on the ground like everyone else, and breathed.

I don't know how long it took, Kong Rui and the other new disciples were reminded to stand up, and after tidying up their clothes, they walked towards the main hall. While marching, the inner and outer disciples were separated, with the inner disciples in front and the outer disciples behind, and walked to the entrance of the main hall in a neat queue.

Kong Rui looked up and saw a huge plaque hanging on the main hall, with gold characters on a black background, with the three big characters of "Ancestor Hall" written on it, and there was a faint deep light that was breathtaking.

I saw that the head of the sect led the masters of the various veins and halls that could come into the main hall first, and this was Kong Rui, whose inner disciples followed in, and the outer disciples were the last. Entering the main hall, Kong Rui quietly looked around, only to see that the inside of the hall was four or five zhang high, dozens of zhang wide, and there was a crystal wall two zhang high on the front wall, and in the white light on the surface of the crystal wall, there was a gray-robed Taoist priest's back, with a three-inch-long wooden hairpin on his head, and behind his hands, his head was slightly raised as if he was looking up at the sky.

Kong Rui took a closer look, and felt that the back image of the gray-robed Taoist priest in the glittering white light was fluttering, and there seemed to be colorful streamers circling around his body, as mysterious as a fantasy; on the platform under the crystal wall, there seemed to be some tablets, but they could not see very clearly because of the distance; there was an offering table two or three zhang long under the table, and there seemed to be some offerings on it; there was a huge bronze round tripod on the offering table, and the green smoke in the middle of the tripod was filling; dozens of black chairs were placed on both sides of the main hall, and the roof of the main hall was inlaid with pearls, and the soft white light sprinkled down, making the main hall feel extremely solemn。

The head of the house led everyone to the offering table, first kowtowed, and then the rest of the people quickly knelt down. The head of the house got up and took a stick of incense, lit it and inserted it in the copper tripod, and said: "Thanks to the blessing of Master Zu and all the predecessors, I have realized that Xuanzong has been passed down to this day. Today, I open the mountain gate to accept disciples, and I hope that the ancestor and the predecessors will bless me, so that I can continue to carry forward the Xuanzong. He saluted again, and then motioned for the people behind him to get up.

I saw that those masters of each vein and hall were walking to both sides, and the head of the sect said: "Old man Shi Jian, it is the one hundred and fifty-eighth generation head of my Wuxuan Sect. The image of the person in the crystal wall enshrined in this patriarch hall is the founder of the sect, Yun Zhongzi, and the tablets enshrined below are the predecessors of the sect who have achieved Jingqi or above in the past dynasties. After you have worshiped the ancestor and your predecessors, you have become a disciple of this sect, and now you will step forward in a row to bow and offer incense to the ancestor and your predecessors. ”

At that moment, those inner disciples stepped forward in a row, and Kong Rui also stepped forward and knelt down respectfully and said: "Disciple Kong Rui, today I am fortunate to be accepted by Wuxuanzong, and I have entered the inner door of Lingji Mountain to learn art. I also hope that the ancestor and the predecessors will bless me, and I will do my best to continue to carry forward the Wuxuanzong in the future. Then he kowtowed, put on incense, and stepped aside. When Kong Rui got up, he was already very close to the crystal wall, but now it seemed that the crystal wall was still as big as it was at the door, and it didn't look bigger because it was closer, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart.

After the apprenticeship was completed, all the disciples who had just started returned to the inner hall of the Shuren Hall to remake the token and the life card, but this time the production of the life card required a blood sacrifice, and from then on it was connected to their own hearts. The token was carried with them, but the life card was collected and kept by the Wanshi Hall, and after the deacon disciples told them some of the precepts and rules of the sect and some terms of rewards and punishments, they gave them a half afternoon off and let them move freely.
