Chapter 623 Ceremony, Is Junior Sister Afraid of Pain?
Yunxuan Gate is a courtyard house with four entries.
The building has a quaint and long-lasting flavor, but some of the facilities inside are still relatively advanced.
A bit, the feeling of the merger of ancient and modern times.
After Qin Yuanshan came back yesterday, he immediately looked at the time and set a good time for the ceremony of apprenticeship.
It is logical that this apprenticeship should have been done long ago.
Like Jiang Yuan and the others, generally speaking, one day they entered Yunxuan Gate to worship Qin Yuanshan as their teacher, and one day they would pass this ceremony.
But the pool was an exception.
Because of her identity, the importance of Qin Yuanshan’s last apprentice, and because of her age and ordinary background,
In short, Chi was the only one who had been to the master for various reasons, but until now there has been no ceremony and no one who made it public.
There is no hurry to announce that she is Qin Yuanshan’s apprentice. After all, as soon as this news comes out, she will become the target of public criticism and usher in endless trouble.
Even though there is Yunxuan Sect and the five masters and disciples of Qin Yuanshan, and even if she has a certain strength herself, Qin Yuanshan still doesn't want her to face these things too early.
At least, within his ability, he has to give her a better environment to study and learn this.
The announcement is left in advance, but this apprenticeship ceremony cannot be delayed.
Qin Yuanshan had long wanted to take Chi to Kyoto to worship his ancestors and learn from his disciples' songs, but Chi had been facing the college entrance examination at that time, so he was delayed until now.
So the first thing Chi Zao did after he came to Kyoto was to ask his disciples to come back and hold a ceremony to apprenticeship.
If it weren't for the fact that he was worried about this, he wouldn't have come back now.
Chi Zao followed Qin Yuanshan out of the main hall.
Walking through a hand-broken paradise, passing through the hanging flower gate, and entering the third courtyard, you will see the great ancestral hall.
Push open the door.
There is a main niche in the main hall, and there are niches on the left and right.
The statue of the first generation master of Yunxuanmen is attached to the small hall on the wall. The other ancestors of the previous dynasties are placed in the order of left and right, in sequence.
There is a large rectangular mahogany table in front of you. In addition to the offerings of fruit and melons and foods, there is also a copper incense burner made of old age.
Under the incense burner, three large cushions are placed.
Qin Yuanshan stood beside the mahogany desk and waved to Chi Zao, "Xiao Zao, come and kneel down."
Chi Zao nodded, stepped forward, and knelt upright on the futon.
The four senior brothers stood aside.
Qin Yuanshan took over the incense used for worship from his eldest disciple Jiang Yuan.
After lighting it, he stood beside Chi Zao.
He folded his hands together, leaned over toward the ancestral tablet, and said solemnly: "Ancestors of Yunxuan Sect are here, I will be there, Qin Yuanshan, today I will bring my fifth disciple Chi to pay homage to you. I hope you will receive the disciple Sun Chi pay homage to you soon.
, and she was allowed to enter and was the 130th direct disciple of Yunxuan Sect."
After saying that, he stood up and inserted the incense into the incense burner.
The incense burned slowly, emitting waves of sandalwood, surrounding the desk.
Except Chi Zao, Qin Yuanshan and the other three disciples stood quietly by the side and waited, each with a solemn expression.
Such an atmosphere made Chi Zao feel nervous.
Qin Yuanshan patted her on the shoulder and explained to him: "First kneeling three times and nine times to worship our ancestors, and then to be a disciple to serve tea, are all traditions that have always been different from other sects. Now, I will report to my ancestors and ancestors.
If you have seen you, if you agree with you, the incense will continue to burn, otherwise it will be destroyed or cut off."
Chi Zao was stunned.
If you recognize it, it will continue to burn; if you don’t recognize it, it will break the fragrance?
Could it be that this ancestor still has a soul?
Can it also test the disciples of the younger generation?
But this shouldn't be...
Chi had already seen the columns of ancestor tablets.
She did not feel any ghosts and gods here.
soul……
If there is really, it would be a thousand-year-old ghost.
As if he saw what Chi had been thinking, Qin Yuanshan also said, "When I became a disciple, I was very surprised when I heard your master say this."
No one can reasonably explain this mysterious thing.
But over the years, the situation of truly breaking or destroying the incense has only happened once or twice, which can be said to be an extremely special situation.
I have never met Qin Yuanshan, I only heard from my master.
But now think about it carefully.
This is probably related to fate...
Some people have special destiny and are born to be suitable for this profession.
Some people have a weak life and are only suitable for living a life of ordinary and stable life. If they force themselves to see the destiny of heaven, they will only suffer miserable consequences.
Anyway, it's hard to explain.
Chi Zao nodded slightly, "The disciple understands."
She stood up and took a step back.
He looked solemn, first he left his left foot, his back faced his hands up, and kneeled on his knees, bowing.
Kowtow once.
Kowtow twice.
Kowtow three times.
Get up, kneel again, and knock again.
Repeat the third time to end.
At the same time, the incense inserted on the incense burner dropped a small piece of incense ash for the first time.
Seeing this, Qin Yuanshan showed a smile.
He reached out and took the incense from Jiang Yuan's hand again, lit the hand and handed it to Chi Zao's hand, and said, "The ancestors have recognized you. Xiao Zao, you can worship yourself."
Is this... recognized?
Chi Zao was a little confused.
She looked at the tablets, and the burning incense ash that fell, and seemed to vaguely notice something.
But without asking any more questions, he knelt down and worshiped.
"I have met all the ancestors."
Kowtow three times in a row.
Get up again, learn from Qin Yuanshan's appearance, and insert the incense into the incense burner.
This process seems simple, but every step is full of profound meaning.
Three months ago, she became Qin Yuanshan's apprentice, but she was only Qin Yuanshan's apprentice.
But from this moment on.
She is a member of Yunxuan Sect!
Xie Cheng handed over a blue cover book, like the ancient martial arts secret book to Qin Yuanshan. Qin Yuanshan turned to a blank page, wrote Chi Zao's name with a brush, and then took out a square one.
Give her a clear white jade.
"This is the identity certificate of the disciples of Yunxuan Sect. Although there are only our masters and disciples in the sect, we must not miss what we should have."
Chi Zao took it solemnly.
Jade is the top-quality white jade with mutton fat, and it is very comfortable to buy.
She suddenly remembered what Qin Yuanshan left her before leaving Ningcheng.
The most expensive one is the jade plaque representing Qin Yuanshan’s identity.
She was moved, "Thank you, Master."
Qin Yuanshan patted her hand and signaled her to rest assured.
After worshiping the ancestors of the master, the next step is to serve tea with blood.
Shen Yubai brought the brewed tea to Chi Zao.
At the same time, he handed her a knife.
"Junior sister, are you afraid of pain? If you are afraid of pain, just cut a small hole, don't cut it too deep." Shen Yubai told.
Chi Zao nodded, "Thank you, Senior Brother Fourth."
She took the knife and cut her fingertips.
The dull pain from her fingertips made her blink.
Then his expression remained unchanged, and he dripped blood into the tea. After the blood melted, he knelt down on his knees, slowly fell under the mahogany table table, and kowtowed.
This is the first cup of tea. I respect the master.
