Chapter Twenty-Three: The Acceptance of Disciples
Seeing the Lantai Ancestor appear in front of him, Xia Qiqi hid behind Xia Yuqiu with a little weakness, looked at the Lantai Ancestor with pitiful eyes, and asked timidly: "Ancestor, did Qiqi make a mistake?"
The ancestor smiled and said, "Doll, you are very good. You didn't make a mistake. Old Ancestor will ask you a few words in a moment, okay?"
Xia Yuqiu hurriedly saluted and said, "The ancestor of Tantai has something to say, please ask." Qiqi, answer the words of the ancestor of Shantai well. The second half of this sentence was naturally said to Xia Qiqi.
The old ancestor of Lantai smiled at Xia Yuqiu and Xia Qiqi and nodded, turned around, and said slowly: "Today's celebration, the old man is very happy. Thank you for coming to celebrate my husband's birthday. Yuntian, please go to the house to rest. The old man also needs to rest. At the time of the dinner, the old man had a few drinks with the distinguished guests. ”
Everyone in the room is a person of interest. As soon as they heard this, everyone stood up one after another, and after saluting the ancestor from afar, they were led out of the martial arts arena by the people of the Tangtai Mansion. As they walked, everyone was talking about the situation of the competition with relish.
Ah Fu has removed the high platform, and Cheng Lin has also returned to the pergola where his family is located. Although Cheng Lin looked embarrassed, he was not injured. It's just that the Cheng family's father and son looked very hurt.
After Shantai Yuntian personally took out the four families of Long, Xia, Huang, and Cheng, in the martial arts arena, only a few people such as Tangtai Old Ancestor, Ah Fu, Long Zheng, Li Yun, Long Chuan, Xia Yuqiu and Xia Qiqi sat in the pergola where the Xia family was before.
The Lantai Ancestor smiled at Xia Qiqi and said, "Doll, can you show the previous water sword technique to the Ancestor again?"
Xia Qiqi first glanced at Xia Yuqiu, and then at Long Chuan. Lantai Old Ancestor and Ah Fu saw Xia Qiqi deliberately glance at Long Chuan, and a hint of discoloration flashed in their eyes at the same time.
Seeing that his mother and Long Chuan both nodded, Xia Qiqiyi stretched out a pair of small hands, and above his hands, the two water swords began to condense respectively. In the blink of an eye, two watery swords appeared on Xia Qiqi's hands.
Long Zheng, Li Yun, and Xia Yuqiu all opened their eyes wide, their eyes full of shock. The old ancestor of the platform and Ah Fu saw the expressions of the three of them in their eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of their mouths at the same time.
The ancestor smiled at Xia Qiqi and said, "Doll, the ancestor asked you a word, can you tell the ancestor the truth?"
After Xia Qiqi nodded, the Lantai Ancestor asked, "Doll, did you practice this water sword technique yourself, or did someone else teach you?"
Xia Qiqi hesitated for a moment and replied, "Ancestor, it was Qiqi who practiced by himself according to the exercises of Dongsheng Divine Palace. As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Long Chuan.
Long Chuanxin said: "This is a big misunderstanding. The ancestor must have thought that I had taught him. ”
The Ancestor nodded, and then asked, "Doll, have you ever worshipped anyone as a master?"
Xia Qiqi shook his head decisively and said, "No." This time, Xia Qiqi never peeked at the dragon legend again.
The Lantai Ancestor seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and asked, "Doll, do you want a master to teach you spells?" When Xia Yuqiu, Long Zheng and Li Yun heard this, their faces first showed a look of ecstasy, and then some melancholy.
Xia Qiqi just said "Okay", and immediately looked at Xia Yuqiu and Long Chuan successively, and asked, "Ancestor, is it true that with a master, Qiqi has to be like a sister, leaving his mother and brother?"
The ancestor smiled: "No, doll." ”
After that, the ancestor of Tantai said to Xia Yuqiu: "City Lord Xia, the old man likes this doll very much. The old man wanted to recommend a master for this doll and teach her to practice. I wonder what Xia Cheng thinks?"
When Xia Yuqiu heard this, he immediately understood that it was not the ancestor of Shantai who wanted to personally accept Xia Qiqi as an apprentice, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart. However, after thinking about it, Xia Yuqiu was also relieved. What kind of identity and cultivation of the ancestor of the Immortal Sect is this! How could he accept Xia Qiqi as a disciple of such a mortal doll?
Xia Yuqiu said to the ancestor of Tangtai: "The seniors are very grateful for the love of Qiqi. The seniors want to recommend a master to Qiqi and teach her to practice, which is a good thing that the juniors and others can't ask for. It's just that the younger generation has some difficulties and doesn't know whether to say it or not. ”
The Ancestor of the Lantai smiled and said, "The Xia City Lord, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Xia Yuqiu said: "The seniors must have heard about Qiqi and Chuan'er......"
Xia Yuqiu had just said this, and Long Zheng interjected: "Sister of the Xia family, it is a great thing that the ancestor of the Xia family recommended the master for Qiqi. Don't let this matter delay the child's practice. ”
Li Yun was about to speak, when the Ancestor of Lantai laughed and said, "If you are worried about this matter, you don't have to. The master that the old man wants to recommend to this doll is in retreat, and he will not be out of the customs for ten or eight years. If you agree, the old man will first accept this doll as a registered disciple and teach some cultivation techniques on behalf of his master. In the future, when the person is out of the customs, this doll will officially apprentice. Ten or eight years later, if that person is out of the customs and accepted as an apprentice, what if the matter is discussed again?"
When Xia Yuqiu heard this, half of his heart was relieved. If that's the case, it's naturally the best. Xia Yuqiu groaned slightly, and said: "Senior, please forgive the juniors for being rude, the juniors still have some things to ask, I want to understand." ”
The Old Ancestor of Lantai smiled and said, "Lord Xia, please speak." ”
Xia Yuqiu said: "I don't know how long the seniors will stay in the Sifang City? If the seniors leave, will they take Qiqi away? The master recommended by the seniors to Qiqi, I don't know how to cultivate? Please forgive the juniors for being rude, asking so much." ”
The ancestor smiled: "It's okay, it's okay." It's normal for a mother to ask these things. There is no time limit for how long the old man will stay in the Sifang City. However, if the old man leaves, he will not leave with this doll. The old man only taught some basic techniques on behalf of his master. This doll's cultivation in the future will have to be taught by that person. As for that person's cultivation, the old man can only say that he is only above the old man. ”
When Xia Yuqiu heard this, he hurriedly gave a deep salute and said with great joy: "The juniors thank the seniors! In this way, the juniors have no objections." ”
The old ancestor of the platform asked Xia Qiqi, "Doll, how is it, would you like to be a registered disciple for the old man?"
Xia Qiqi blinked his big eyes and asked, "Ancestor, what about Brother Chuan?"
The old ancestor laughed and said, "You doll!" After laughing, the old ancestor said to the dragon: "Little friend, would you like to be a registered disciple for the old man?"
Long Chuan hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you Ancestor! The juniors are willing!" After that, Long Chuan asked with a smile: "Ancestor, don't you always recommend a master to the juniors?"
The ancestor laughed again and said, "Little friend, the old man wants to recommend a master to you." However, the old man has not thought of a suitable candidate for the time being. The old man will first guide you to practice for a while. If there is a fate in the future, the old man will find another master for you. ”
Long Chuan stretched out his hand and pulled Xia Qiqi, both knelt down in front of the ancestor of Shantai, and said, "Apprentice to meet the master!" After that, Long Chuan and Xia Qiqi kowtowed nine heads to the ancestor of Shantai in a row.
The old ancestor laughed and said, "Okay, okay! Two good boys, get up! There is no need to kowtow to the old man so much." ”
After Long Chuan and Xia Qiqi got up, the ancestor of Shantai said to Xia Yuqiu Zhengse: "Lord Xia, since the old man has accepted Qiqi as an apprentice on behalf of others, if there is no consent from the old man or that person in the future, Qiqi cannot worship others as teachers. I hope that the Xia City Lord will keep this matter in mind. ”
Xia Yuqiu hurriedly saluted: "Seniors don't worry! Without the consent of the seniors or the master of Qiqi, the younger generations will definitely not let Qiqi worship others as teachers. ”
The old ancestor of Tantai laughed, stood up, and said, "The old man is very happy to have these two dolls as registered disciples today. Everyone, please go and rest. At the dinner, the old man will announce the matter to everyone. With that, the ancestor stood up, waved his sleeves, and disappeared from the spot with Ah Fu.
When the ancestor of Tantai and Ah Fu left, Long Zheng, Li Yun and Xia Yuqiu were all smiling.
Today is a good day! Not only did the Long family and the Xia family breathe a good sigh of relief, but Long Chuan and Xia Qiqi also worshipped a great god like the ancestor of Shantai as a cheap master. In the future, the relationship between the two families and the city lord's mansion will definitely go to a higher level, needless to say, with the backing of the ancestor of the Tai, the status of the two families in the hearts of the people of the Xianmen will also rise with the tide. Especially the Long family, there is no need to look at the faces of the people of the Jade Sword Sect anymore.
Xiao Qing asked in Long Chuan's Void Purple Mansion: "Long Chuan, why don't you just worship the old man of Lantai to be a master? That old man is really, so stingy, he accepted you as a registered disciple." ”
The voice of the Heavenly Demon smiled: "It is estimated that the old man of Lantai thinks that Long Chuan already has a master in secret, so it is not good to say that he will directly accept Long Chuan as an official disciple." Long Chuan, do you want to find an opportunity to explain to the old man of Shantai, and simply worship him as a teacher? With this old man and the Imperial Weapon Sect behind him as a backer, you don't have to worry about cultivation for a long time. ”
Long Chuan replied: "Senior, Xiaoqing, I still have a great enmity with the old thief on my back. There are too many evil spells in the old thief. If you directly worship the ancestor of the Tai Dynasty as a teacher, I am afraid that the ancestor of the Tai Dynasty and even the entire Imperial Weapon Sect will be in danger. It is not an act of benevolence. If I can get revenge and eradicate the old thief, it will not be too late for me to formally apprentice. At present, having the ancestor of Lantai as a registered master has been a great help to my future development. ”
