Chapter 10: Apprenticeship
Above the main hall, the controversy of the first seat of the peaks and the final decision of the head of the house, Li Xun and the others standing below heard it clearly. Li Xun couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, this Wu Qi Xiaowa can get the competition of all the uncles, it can be seen that his qualifications are extraordinary, this time he went down the mountain and he has a good fate, and he may have to be supported by him in the future, and it is not worth the trip.
The head of Xuanqing saw that Senior Sister Li left a few words and walked away, and he smiled bitterly and helplessly for a while, let her go. At this point, Xuan Qing got off the high platform, walked in front of the two dolls who still couldn't stand on their knees, helped them up with his own hands, and said with a smile: "The little doll got up and spoke, what we said, I think you two also heard it, you worship under my disciple Song Wuji of Fu Demon Peak, are you willing?"
Wu Qifang didn't dare to look up, he only heard that they seemed to be competing for apprentices, but he didn't expect it to be himself, and thinking back to the bloody pictures in the village, tears rolled down silently.
"Grandpa Fairy, thank you for taking in my second brother, thank you for your help, thank you......" Wu Qi thanked him and cried with joy.
"What are you crying about, all the fears have passed, cultivate with peace of mind, he will be able to prove the immortal Tao one day, I am the head of this sect, not an immortal, what is your surname, are you willing to worship my senior brother Song?" Xuan Qing was also relieved Wu Qi and asked him again about his wishes.
"Yes, master, my name is Wu Qi, the people in the village call me Gouwa, after the disciple apprentices, will he be able to kill those demons who do bad things in the future?" Wu Qi wiped away the tears on his face with the back of his hand, introduced himself to Xuan Qing very seriously, and always remembered to avenge the father and elders in the village.
Xuan Qing smiled, seeing that the child was innocent and simple, and the name of the dog baby was also explained to outsiders, it was really childlike.
"Child, you have built a small foundation, your bones and veins are unique, coupled with your jealous and hateful Dao heart, it is most suitable for practicing my sword technique of Fu Demon Peak, in time, the evil demons in the world will be eliminated, haha......" Song Wuji on the side was already anxious, and when he saw Wu Qi asking, he hurriedly answered for the senior brother in charge.
"Great, Wu Qi is willing, is my brother Ji Yan also with me?" Wu Qi was excited when he heard that he could take revenge, and saw that Ji Yan was standing next to him without speaking, and hurriedly recommended it to the master. It's just that the head and Song Wuji shook their heads, paused for a moment, and Xuan Qing also looked at Ji Yan with clear eyes, and finally replied:
"Ji Yan will not worship under the same door as you, he has not yet built a foundation, although he has good qualifications, but he must also be implemented according to the rules of the door, he needs to cultivate in the outer sect until he has a successful foundation before he can enter the inner sect, and someone will be his teacher in the other first seat, the two of you will only recall the painful memories of the past together, and the demon seed is born in your heart, I am afraid that it is not good for the cultivation, it is better to separate, it is not difficult for him to see each other in the future, why bother with the present!"
Wu Qi wanted to say something more, but was grabbed by the corner of his clothes by Ji Yan's small hand on the side, and Ji Yan hurriedly said: "Thank you for the arrangement of the master, let Wu Qi learn the Tao with that Master Song, and Yan'er is willing to go to the outer sect to practice, and then enter the inner sect when the foundation is built, and meet him, everything will be arranged by the master." Seeing Ji Yan's clenched little hand and serious attitude, Wu Qi finally stopped talking and nodded.
However, the rest of the people looked at them differently one by one, especially Xuanqing and Yan Mingyuan, the head of Qianzhang Peak, and their eyes showed a look of cherishing their talents. Xuan Qing sighed that Ji Yan knew the general situation at a young age, did not make things difficult for others, and devoted himself to fulfilling the people around him, the most favorable situation at the moment and what everyone wanted to see was exactly Ji Yan's choice at the moment, and he didn't want a teenager to be like the ancient mortal Kong Rong Li's overall awareness and mind, and he had doubts about his decision for a while. Yan Mingyuan and Xuan Qing have different views, he himself is dressed as a scholar and is different, coupled with the quiet and far-reaching, indifferent to fame and fortune, originally did not want to participate in this farce of competing for apprentices, just now I watched Ji Yan, the same literati dress, the words are also quite self-contained, and there is also the lonely and high temperament that is at ease with encounters, not afraid of dangers and obstacles, and I cherish each other for a while, and I like it, but I have expressed my attitude before, and I didn't say anything, but I have remembered the name of Ji Yan in my heart.
Since the two dolls have already expressed their positions, the few elders who are doing it will also be arranged according to the resolution. I wanted to disperse, but Song Wuji suddenly coughed, as if he had something to say.
"Is there anything else Senior Brother Song has to say?" Xuan Qing also asked as if he were cooperative.
"That...... Senior brother, you see that most of you are here, and you all love Wu Qi's doll very much, why don't you take this opportunity to let him apprentice in the Golden Dragon Palace, saving the trivial things after returning to the peak, presumably you are also willing to see the picture of Liangyu getting into the hands of a skilled craftsman, ......right? I don't know what the senior brother thinks?" Song Wuji's old face was slightly red, and he smirked from time to time, waiting for the results of the senior brothers.
The first seat is also crying and laughing, they are all hundreds of years of friendship, and whoever has a little Jiujiu in their hearts is clear with their eyes closed. Xuanqing also doesn't say a word, Mowgli, Mowgli, they all say that you are straightforward and fast-talking, jealous and hateful, and there are times when you beat around the bush and have red ears and red ears!
"Old Five, where is the bright and upright momentum on weekdays? Except for Senior Brother Luo, you are the youngest here, and we still don't know what you think in your heart? If you don't say it today, you will be ashamed of your 'happy revenge' temperament. Yan Mingyuan teased this junior brother with a smiling face.
"If you have something to say, the Discipline Hall still has something to deal with, so I'll go first. Lu Jingtian also hurriedly got up and wanted to leave the hall.
"Senior brother, don't, look at this...... There are already two people missing, you leave again, what's the point, I just want you to give me a new apprentice meeting gift, what's the matter? You all know it, so you don't need me to be shy and open your mouth, right?" Seeing that Senior Brother Lu was leaving, Song Wuji hurriedly stopped and said his thoughts, he is now open up for this new apprentice's old face, which shows that he cherishes his talents.
"Hehe, since you proposed it honestly, why not, Wu Qi is here to apprentice, and we will witness together. Xuan Qing saw that the goal had been achieved, so he pushed the boat down the river and made a decision.
After a short time, Li Xun, Wang Huan and Ji Yan prepared the equipment used for apprenticeship. There is a Taishi chair in the north, Song Wuji sits on it, on the east wall hangs the portraits of the Taoist Taishang Laojun, Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun Sanqing, and a row of seats on the west side sits on the first seat and the head Xuanqing, and Wu Qi stands on the south side. Li Xun stood aside to preside over the ceremony, met the patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty, Wang Huan served the tea, Wu Qi bowed to the portrait, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and took the tea and served it on the coffee table; the second cup of tea was dedicated to the master Song Wuji, Wu Qi sincerely bowed, the teacup was raised above his head, and was respectfully offered, Song Wuji happily closed his mouth, and his mouth was praised again and again; the third cup of tea was honored to the witnesses present, and Wu Qi bowed to all the teachers and uncles to thank him for the tea. All the teachers and uncles gave them meeting gifts, all of which were useful items and magic weapons on the way to cultivation.
Ji Yan watched Wu Qi's apprenticeship from beginning to end, and was sincerely happy for Wu Qi, and at the same time thought about his future apprenticeship, and also felt a little envious.
Now that Wu Qi is a disciple of Fu Demon Peak, Song Wuji only gave him a cup of tea to say goodbye to Ji Yan. The two suddenly didn't know what to say in front of the temple gate, after all, they were both teenagers, and their life experience had just begun, so how could they know the sentimentality of parting.
"Xiao Yan, don't be bullied in the outer sect, take good care of yourself, you are stronger than me, you will definitely be able to enter the inner sect, when the time comes, the two of us brothers will slay the demons together, I will often beg the master to let me see you." Wu Qi said to Ji Yan very seriously.
"Dog baby, you don't have to worry about me, there is such a powerful master, you must study the Fa hard, you will be a famous swordsman in the future, remember to come and see the martyr, work hard!" Ji Yan happily cheered for Wu Qi, although he was a little reluctant, he still thought more about Wu Qi.
Everyone returned to the peak separately, Wu Qi followed his master Song Wuji back to Fu Demon Peak, and Ji Yan was taken down the mountain by Wang Huan to the location of the outer sect - Cuizhu Peak.
Wang Huan Xu was instructed by his master to go all the way down the mountain to talk and laugh with Ji Yan and take good care of him. Pleasant times are always short-lived, and by the time the two of them are immersed in pleasure, they have already arrived at Cuizhu Peak. The whole mountain is a lot lower, and there is not much spirituality, but there are many green bamboos growing in the mountains, which is named after it. Many houses have been built in the flat places of the mountains, and many children of the same age as Ji Yan have already started their day's life, and there are also some older people who breathe and breathe in the mountains or on the cliffs and rocks to practice the exercises. Ji Yan kept looking around, and the people around him also saw a senior brother wearing the robe of the Inner Sect and a child walking along the stone road to the Sword Pavilion, the administrative office of the Outer Sect.
The Sword Pavilion is made of green bamboo in the mountains, with a total of two floors. The first floor is used to deal with all kinds of trivial matters of the outer sect, clothing, food, housing, transportation, and all aspects, and is divided into several areas; the second floor is the reception place for people from the inner sect, and it is also the office of the deacons of the outer sect on weekdays.
Wang Huan and Ji Yan went up from the bamboo ladder to the second floor, and saw a middle-aged man in gray writing something next to the desk, very serious.
"Senior Brother Zhang, it turns out that you have been serving here for the past few months, and if you knew that it was you, you would have asked Master and his old man to explain to you directly. As soon as Wang Huan saw that it was his senior brother, he became much closer.
"Presumptuous, junior brother, you are not too young, it's time to restrain your free and casual temperament, you have to do it yourself when the master tells you, don't say this kind of rude language, do you have anything to explain to your brother?" This Zhang Heng, Senior Brother Zhang is also the first introductory disciple of Yan Mingyuan, but he is older, and his behavior is strictly standardized, Yan Mingyuan is also quite annoyed, and he has no choice but to always let him come to this foreign sect deacon, trying to be quiet and comfortable.
Wang Huan pushed Ji Yan forward, and the arrangements of the Golden Dragon Hall were explained to Senior Brother Zhang. Zhang Heng had already registered on the register, took out the robes, wooden swords and other necessary things of the outer sect, and began to introduce the general situation of the outer sect to Ji Yan.
"Uh...... Senior Brother Zhang, don't you understand, our master said to 'take care' of one or two, understand?" Wang Huan listened to Senior Brother's tirade, thinking that he was just acting as usual and not paying attention, so he mentioned it again.
After the arrangements were made, Ji Yan suddenly asked inexplicably: "Two senior brothers, who is my master?"
Wang Huan and Zhang Heng were chatting, not wanting Ji Yan to ask this question, Wang Huan immediately understood: I saw Wu Qi's junior brother in the Golden Dragon Hall on time to apprentice, and Xiao Ji Yan also thought that he would have a master to teach. I didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Well, little Ji Yan, according to the rules, the disciples of the outer sect have no ......" Before he could say the word "father", he saw Senior Brother Zhang hand Ji Yan a book.
"It's your master, so you can come here at any time if you don't understand. ”
This is my master? Ji Yan looked at this manuscript, and the scripture reads "Xuantian Tongming Sword Codex", or well, I am also a person with a master......
......
In childhood, everything can be friends and teachers, but when we grow up, how many of us will still have friends and learning teachers?
