Chapter Forty-Eight: Little Abandonment of Chang'e
The next day, Tan Yang came to the ancestral shrine on Linghai Peak early in the morning.
As of today, except for a few new disciples whose identities are still in doubt, the identity tokens of the vast majority of new disciples have already been issued, so the ancestral shrine has regained its former tranquility, except for a few miscellaneous disciples who are on duty, no one else is present.
Hearing Tan Yang's explanation, the disciple on duty first taught him a few oaths such as "swear allegiance to Linghai Pavilion to the death", and then led him to make a demon blood oath in front of the statues of the Kai Sect Patriarch Tianjizi and the Kai Sect Grandmaster Zhong Tianling.
It's just that no one noticed that when Tan Yang knelt down, the everlasting lamp in front of the statues of the two patriarchs seemed to be swaying all the time, and no one paid attention to whether the expressions of the statues of the two patriarchs had changed.
After worshipping the patriarch, Tan Yang went to the side halls on both sides of the main hall again, and worshiped the statues of the previous pavilion masters of Linghai Pavilion one by one. However, what puzzled Tan Yang was that Zhong Xiaoling should be regarded as the thirty-eighth generation pavilion master of Linghai Pavilion, but there were only thirty-three pavilion master statues in the side halls on both sides.
It stands to reason that after getting rid of the two patriarchs and the still alive last pavilion master Zhong Tianshi and the current pavilion master Zhong Xiaoling, there should be 34 statues of pavilion masters, why is there one less statue of the pavilion master?
When Tan Yang asked this question to the disciple on duty who was leading him, the disciple on duty quietly warned, "This question is a taboo in Linghai Pavilion, and it is best for junior disciple not to ask it." ”
After performing the ancestor worship ceremony and returning to the main hall, the disciple on duty said, "Now you can receive the identity token, junior brother, what do you call it?"
"Under the surname Tan, the single name is a yang character. ”
"Tan Yang! It turns out that you are Tan Yang!"
Tan Yang was used to this kind of scene, and smiled helplessly.
At this time, another middle-aged disciple on duty held a three-inch navy blue jade plaque, handed it over with both hands, and announced loudly at the same time: "The ancestor is above, the Linghai Pavilion Fengshen Cave Keqing Elder Feng Wanli Registered Disciple, Linghai Pavilion 38th Generation Keqing Disciple Tan Yang, officially entered the Pavilion today. Tan Yang, take the card. ”
Fengshen Cave! The Zhong Pavilion Lord actually arranged himself under the door of that Feng senior's extremely eccentric temper! Although it was only in name, it was really hard to say whether it was a blessing or a curse!
Tan Yang subconsciously took the card and started, only to see that the jade card was crystal clear throughout, with two ancient seal characters engraved in the center of "Fengshen", and a circle of simple and mysterious runes around it......
Before Tan Yang could take a closer look, suddenly, the ever-bright lights in front of the statues of the two ancestors flickered a few times, and then a wisp of green smoke came out and went out!
This sudden change stunned everyone present, including Tan Yang!
After a long time, the middle-aged disciple reacted, hurriedly relit the lantern, and then prostrated on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, and the other disciples on duty also fell to the ground in panic.
After a period of panic, a young disciple whispered, "Senior Brother Yan, why did you speak so loudly just now? This everlasting lamp was either blown out by your mouth, or the patriarch thought you were noisy. ”
"Nonsense!" Senior Brother Yan said aggrievedly, "I have issued more than 500 tokens, all of which are operated in this way, and there has never been such an unlucky vision." ”
"If this is known to the pavilion master, we ......"
Several disciples on duty shuddered, looking at each other at a loss, Tan Yang said in a low voice: "Senior brothers, please come with me, I have a way." ”
Tan Yang took a few disciples on duty out of the ancestral hall, looked around and saw that there was no one around, and said in a low voice: "Let's make a long story short, the matter has come to this point, and there is only one way, that is, everyone should treat this incident as if it had not happened." ”
"That's good, of course. Senior Brother Yan hesitated, "But such a big thing, if it happens after the autumn, wouldn't we be guilty of more crimes?"
"Everyone who saw today's events is here, as long as everyone puts locks on their lips, how can it happen after the autumn?" Tan Yang said, "As long as you don't disclose this matter in the next place, everyone present will not dare to say it yourself, right?"
"That's, that's. A disciple nodded again and again, "That's it! Thank you Senior Brother Tan so much, no wonder Senior Brother Tan's qualifications can still become a registered disciple of the Feng seniors, amazing, amazing!"
Several disciples on duty were grateful to Tan Yang, but Tan Yang secretly wondered in his heart, the everlasting light going out was an extremely unlucky omen, and the possibility of Senior Brother Yan extinguishing the everlasting lantern was very small, could this have something to do with him?
When parting, Senior Brother Yan said: "Senior Brother Tan, this disturbance just now, I almost forgot a big thing, yesterday Senior Sister Zhong Hongying Zhong personally came to the ancestral shrine, and left a message for me to tell the junior brother, she said that the junior brother's identity is special, and if it is not necessary, try not to use this identity token lightly, as for the reason, the junior brother himself knows it in his heart." ”
"Well, I remembered, thank you, Senior Brother Yan. Tan Yang nodded in agreement, Zhong Hongying's words couldn't be clearer, she was just worried that she would use this token for improper benefits, and maybe maybe this was the meaning of the Zhong Pavilion Master!
**
In the next few days, Tan Yang cultivated at night and went to Ling Haifeng to study "Tianji Daozang" during the day, and under the busyness, he gradually forgot the strange scene that happened in the ancestral temple.
"Tianji Daozang" is different from "The Legend of the Strange Immortals of Great Chu", the latter is mixed with folklore and even fiction, and there are many elements of romance, while the former is detailed and rigorous, like a textbook, quite practical, so that Tan Yang has benefited a lot, and gradually indulged in it, so he does not feel that reading is a chore.
Yesterday, Tan Yang also went to the Chuangong Hall to listen to a class, and the disciple of Tianhai Peak who embarrassed him was long gone, and he didn't know whether he was reprimanded by Yuan Zhenren or took the initiative to resign. However, Tan Yang only listened to it for less than half an hour before he automatically left early, and in the jade slip left by the old king, the cultivation tips and experiences recorded were far stronger than those heard in the Gong Transmission Hall, and the necessity of this kind of class was too small.
Today was the last time Tan Yang came to the Scripture Pavilion to read a book, because all the spars on his body had been spent, and he no longer had the money to pay for two spars each time.
The Scripture Pavilion, in the ashram on the second floor.
While Tan Yang was immersed in hard reading, suddenly there was a quick knock on the door.
Before Tan Yang could come to his senses, the disciple on duty at the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion who he knew broke in out of breath and said hurriedly: "Senior Brother Tan, it's not good! You go down and take a look, I wonder if the little wild crane below is yours?"
Tan Yang raised his eyes and saw that it was already twilight outside the window, and it turned out that before he knew it, it was sunset again.
He hurriedly rushed downstairs and ran out of the door to take a look, only to see seven or eight people gathered in front of the door of the Scripture Pavilion, surrounding Xiao Qi in the middle. One of the Taoist priests in Tsing Yi was tying Xiao Qi with a rope, and he scolded and scolded: "Little beast, you dare to tease my Chang'e, who do you think you are?
Next to the crowd stood a snow-white crane, half a foot taller than Xiao Qizu, with an elegant and beautiful body, it seemed that it was the Chang'e that the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi said.
Xiao Qi's feathers are messy, and there are blood stains on his body, and it seems that he has suffered a lot. It was screaming miserably and struggling angrily, but each struggle was met with insults, punches and kicks from the disciples next to it.
"Kill this beast! My junior sister's brocade-haired spirit mouse was stolen and eaten by it, and I chased it for a long time but didn't catch up. ”
"Flatten it! My crane was nearly blinded by it. ”
"I finally caught you, why don't you run again? I dare to on the head of the Taoist master, it stinks so much that I haven't eaten for several days."
“......”
Tan Yang had vaguely felt that Xiao Qi had not done anything good before, but he didn't expect it to be so evil that everyone shouted and beat him, so he couldn't help but feel distressed and angry, and hurriedly shouted: "Senior brothers, that's my flying horse, and my subordinates are merciful." ”
"Tan Yang, isn't this Tan Yang?"
"He is the famous Tan Yang, how could the lord of a dignified cave want such an ugly crane?"
"Senior Brother Xia, stop it, this wild crane belongs to Tan Yang. ”
In the midst of everyone's discussions, Tan Yang walked up to the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi, clenched his fists and said weakly: "What do you call this senior brother?
"How do you speak?!" The Taoist priest in Tsing Yi snorted coldly, pointed to the white crane on the side and said angrily, "It is the flying horse Chang'e of the poor road." ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
One of the fat Taoist priests in his twenties said aggrievedly: "Senior Brother Tan, don't say it, your flying horse is not only teasing cranes, but also teasing people." That day, Poor Dao was pranayama and meditating on a rock near the sea, and when he was holding Yuan Shou and forgetting about it, he suddenly heard a snapping sound, and at the same time he felt a cold on his head, and when he touched it with his hand, it turned out to be a big bubble of wet and smelly bird droppings!"
"Not only did this little beast not run away after pooping, but it flew and screamed around me proudly. You fellow disciples commented on this principle of poor dao, this dirty point is just that, poor dao was cultivating at that time and could not be disturbed, in case he went mad because of a bubble of bird droppings...... Wouldn't I, Bao Qingfeng, become the laughing stock of the Cultivation Realm?"
The Taoist disciples of Linghai Pavilion are different from the Taoists in the secular world, the precepts they hold are extremely loose, and the Taoist number is not divided into generations. Bao Qingfeng's original name is actually not Qingfeng, his road name is Qingfengzi, and according to Linghai Pavilion's habits, he is directly called Bao Qingfeng.
Everyone laughed even louder, Tan Yang couldn't help laughing, and was trying to apologize for Xiao Qi, and the rest of the people also accused Xiao Qi of his crimes.
The Taoist priest in Tsing Yi said: "The poor Taoist surname is Xia, and the Taoist name is Qingluzi." Today, I came to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to check some information, because it didn't take much time, so I didn't put away Chang'e and left it outside the pavilion to let it go. I didn't expect this wild crane to get interested and tease my Chang'e in every possible way. If it weren't for the poor way in time, this little rascal might have been forced to bow down. ”
Xia Qinglu is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, and he has been struggling to break through the bottleneck of the third layer of qi gathering, this Chang'e is the only baby bump that can earn some face for him in front of his peers.
Tan Yangqi said: "Senior Brother Xia, it's all Xiao Qiqi's fault. But what does it mean that this overlord is the bow?"
Everyone laughed, even Xia Qinglu couldn't help laughing, Bao Qingfeng squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Senior Brother Tan, you are still young, it seems that you are still a standard child, right?"
Tan Yang realized that this was not a good word, and he didn't pay attention to it anymore, hugged his fists and looked around, and said: "Senior brothers, I'm really sorry, this wild crane is wild and untamable, plus I didn't train my brother well, I will make amends for you for Xiao Qi." ”
Xia Qinglu said coldly: "What Senior Brother Tan said is too light, right? This wild crane is lawless, I'm afraid it is not enough to be angry if you don't kill it!"
