After listening to their narration, Gu Xuanzhan frowned and held the tea bowl without moving it for a long time.
Gu Wanhua and Gu Wanhao looked at each other, and finally turned their attention to Gu Xuanzhan.
They were also a little confused for a moment as to why Patriarch Lan Ling wanted to find Gu Changde.
Seeing that Gu Xuanzhan remained silent, Gu Wanhao said anxiously:
"Uncle Twenty-one, look..."
Although Changde was not the most outstanding child in the family, he had been with this boy for several years in Jiuqifang City and loved him very much.
Gu Xuanzhan stood up, already having a rough idea in his mind.
He was looking at Gu Wanhao, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly looked outside.
Outside the door, Gu Changde's aura appeared!
Everyone in the Gu family was overjoyed, and then they saw the door open, and a monk with a slender figure and an extremely beautiful face walked in. Gu Changde was behind him, with a bright smile on his face.
Everyone in the Gu family was stunned.
Unexpectedly, the person they were trying to "rescue" suddenly appeared in front of them in good health and with a smile on his face.
Moreover, wasn't the person in front of Gu Changde the Lan Ling ancestor they had met not long ago?
When the ancestor of Nascent Soul came to the door, the Gu family and other monks naturally did not dare to neglect, and they all stepped forward to salute.
Ancestor Lan Ling nodded and scanned the entire Gu residence with his consciousness.
It's not intentional, it's just a casual practice habit.
However, with a quick scan of his consciousness, he discovered one who was condensing the golden elixir, and two who had advanced to the Purple Mansion.
And it seems that the two who have advanced to the Purple Mansion are almost at the last moment. They can attract the Purple Qi to gather within three days at most.
The one who condensed the golden elixir also looked calm, as if he was confident.
Very good.
Although the people who greeted him respectfully in the hall had doubts on their faces, they were obviously happy about Gu Changde's return.
Ancestor Lan Ling looked at Gu Changde who was winking at a few young boys with doubtful looks in their eyes and smiled in his heart.
It seems that his disciple is not a rigid and dull person.
Ancestor Lan Ling said this:
"Gu family friends, don't be cautious. I am here today because I have a happy event to discuss with my Taoist friends from the Gu family."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Changde.
Gu Changde immediately stepped forward and introduced the head of the Gu family to Patriarch Lan Ling:
"This is our Gu family's supreme elder, Gu Xuanzhan."
Gu Xuanzhan also met with Ancestor Lan Ling again.
Ancestor Lan Ling waved his hand and asked him to sit down, but Gu Xuanzhan refused and sat down.
Then, Ancestor Lan Ling directly stated his intention.
“I came here today because I want to take you as a disciple with great virtue;
It's just that although I have a high level of cultivation, in this world of immortal cultivation, accepting disciples is a big deal, and you must obtain the consent of your parents and elders."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Gu family was surprised and happy.
Being accepted as a disciple by Yuanying Ancestor, even if it is just a named disciple, is enough to be enviable.
With such good things coming to his door, Gu Xuanzhan naturally had no reason to refuse, but he could not help but murmur in his heart as to why Patriarch Lan Ling would accept Gu Changde as his disciple.
After all, only two or three people in the Gu family knew that Gu Changde was talented in the practice of illusion.
Here, after Gu Xuanzhan tentatively asked, Ancestor Lan Ling said it directly,
"This child is extremely talented in the practice of illusion. Although he cannot inherit my martial art mantle, it is just right to become an official disciple."
Hearing that Gu Changde was talented in practicing fantasy, many members of the Gu family showed envy.
Gu Xuanzhan understood somewhat, so he said:
"The ancestor wants to take a member of our Gu family as his disciples. This is naturally an honor for our Gu family."
This is the word of consent.
"I just don't know if I need to hold an apprenticeship banquet?"
Gu Xuanzhan asked with some expectation.
In the world of cultivating immortals, the rules and regulations for accepting disciples are not all the same.
It would be a very grand thing to accept a direct disciple who could inherit the mantle.
It is necessary to choose an auspicious day, invite relatives and friends, hold a banquet with wine, and conduct the apprenticeship ceremony under the witness of many monks.
As for direct disciples, they must kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to worship their master and offer tea before the ceremony is completed.
The status of a direct disciple is not inferior to that of a parent and child, so naturally one cannot be careless.
But as a formal disciple, there is not so much emphasis on it.
Whether or not to invite relatives and friends to a banquet depends on the master's decision.
Of course, you still have to kowtow. You don’t have to kneel three times and kowtow nine times. You also have to kneel down and offer tea.
As for named disciples, it's even simpler.
There are very few people setting up banquets, most of them just serve tea.
Patriarch Lan Ling wants to accept Gu Changde as a formal disciple. Logically speaking, he is qualified to hold a banquet, but it is up to Patriarch Lan Ling to decide whether to hold a banquet. After all, there are many people, and only Elder Lan Ling
Only ancestors can invite you.
Gu Changde also looked at Patriarch Lan Ling with some expectation.
Holding an apprenticeship ceremony would be a good thing for him and the Gu family.
Ancestor Lan Ling thought for a moment. This was his first time accepting a disciple, so it would be better to hold a ceremony.
It's just that his own cave is too far away from here, and he doesn't want too many monks to visit his cave.
So he said:
"Of course the ceremony needs to be held, but it's wartime now, and it's not easy to travel back and forth, so why not find a day to hold the ceremony at the fortress here.
It just so happens that most of today's high-level monks are also gathered here."
For the Yuanying monks, it only takes half a day to come here from the front lines where they are stationed.
It's just that he didn't accept direct disciples. I think those old guys are too lazy to move, so there is a high probability that they will send someone to take care of them!
But for the Gu family, this is enough.
Here, Ancestor Lan Ling counted the days and said:
"The twenty-sixth of next month will be a good day.
I will find a few people to organize the celebration, and will also invite all my comrades. You and Changde just need to attend the ceremony on time."
Although he has not taken on any disciples over the years, he still has some useful subordinates. Some Jindan monks have also received favors from him, and it is more than enough to ask them to help organize a banquet.
However, Ancestor Lan Ling thought for a while, waved his sleeves and took out a few things, handed them to Gu Changde, and said:
"This is a meeting gift given to you by my master. I think your cultivation level has reached the eighth level. The foundation is solid. You should not go out in the past few days. Concentrate on your cultivation and strive to advance to the Zifu stage before the ceremony.
.”
Today is only the third day of the Lunar New Year, and there are still more than fifty days until the twenty-sixth day of next month. If there is sufficient supply of spiritual objects, there will be no problem in advancing to the Zifu stage.
Gu Changde cupped his hands and said:
"Disciples must obey their master's orders."
Then, he looked at the storage bag with his consciousness.
Good guy, not to mention other spiritual objects, there are three pieces of Ziyang Baoyu alone!
Sure enough, there are many benefits to having a Nascent Soul Stage monk as your master!
