If your throat is still dry, drink another cup of tea.
Ding Fan turned his head, only to find that Lan Shan and Chi Li had disappeared at some point. He searched around and found their figures among the crowd standing below.
To be honest, standing together with the disciples of Huanyue Sect, both of them are young and do not have many advantages.
The next step is to purify the water, burn incense, light candles, and pray to heaven to bless the Huanyue Gate for long-term peace and prosperity.
Daoxuan Sect will do this on every big day. Ding Fan has experienced it many times and is very good at it. His expression is serious, the atmosphere is solemn, and the ceremony is conducted in a orderly manner, just like that.
The crescent-shaped wooden plaque is engraved with the names of past leaders and meritorious people. Without exception, they are all women. It will be placed in a separate room for the disciples to admire. Leng Ling'er's name is among them.
The seventh generation leader.
Ding Fan is the eighth generation head, and according to the rules, he has to have his name engraved on it.
"Ling'er, I'm a living person, so it's not a good idea to set up a memorial tablet!" Ding Fan used his consciousness to discuss with Leng Ling'er.
"Don't be ignorant, this is an honor! Besides, except for me, the rest of these people are also alive and have ascended to immortality." Leng Ling'er said angrily.
Where did he come from? He just disappeared without a trace!
Ding Fan didn't insist anymore, and engraved his name neatly and lifted it up, which triggered another round of cheers from the disciples.
At the end of the inauguration ceremony, Ding Fan solemnly announced that in the absence of the leader, the Great Protector Yunmei would be in charge of daily work, and the three Protectors Wulan, Qingzhu, and Aoju would assist in the work without making any mistakes.
"Yes!" The four guardians raised their hands in unison.
It was almost done. Ding Fan looked around and asked, "Do the others have any questions? If not, then let's disperse."
"Master Ding, I am Lan Shan, who is unmarried and hopes to join the Huanyue Sect!" Lan Shan suddenly said loudly.
Huh? Ding Fan was stunned for a moment, then Chi Li also came out, side by side with Lan Shan, and shouted, "Master Ding, Chi Li, no, I am Chi Li, I don't plan to get married, and I also want to join the Huanyue Sect."
What a mess!
Ding Fan gave him a look of disapproval, but Lan Shan pretended not to see it, and Chi Li also lowered her head.
Just as he was about to refuse, Protector Yunmei had already noticed that both of them had a good foundation in martial arts and asked, "Can you abide by the rules of the sect?"
"Yes!" Lan Shan and Chi Li said in unison.
Playing for real?
Ding Fan had a big head and asked quickly: "Ling'er, do you think it can be done?"
"Of course not! Yunmei just feels that there haven't been any newcomers in the door for a long time, and her mind is quick." Leng Ling'er refused.
Lan Shan and Chi Li volunteered, but Yun Mei had already relented. It would be embarrassing if she disagreed. Ding Fan asked tentatively, "How about making an exception and becoming a registered disciple?"
"Do we have to let them join?" Leng Linger was very impatient.
"I don't care, they look real."
"Hmph, you two bodyguards must have bad intentions! Forget it, you are the leader now, so let's do it!"
Chi Li was very playful and clamored to join the Huanyue Sect as a novelty. It was no surprise that Lan Shan was the first to respond. It would be better to follow the trend and use the sect rules to restrain her in the future.
"Well, since you two want to join but can't live on the mountain forever, let's become registered disciples. Remember to contribute more to the sect and maintain the reputation of Huanyue Sect. If you violate the sect rules, you will be severely punished!" Ding Fanqing
Clearing his throat.
"Thank you, Master!" Lan Shan bent down and saluted, unable to stop smiling.
"Thank you, Master." Chi Li agreed, her smile getting wider.
"It's not too early. Let's all go and have a rest. If there's anything else, we'll discuss it tomorrow!" Ding Fan said.
The female disciples dispersed one after another. Protector Wulan took Lan Shan and Chi Li away and arranged them in two small wooden houses respectively. Of course, Ding Fan had to live in the leader's big house. Yunmei apologized: "Master, I really can't
Sorry, there are no male items in the door."
"It's okay!" Ding Fan went straight into the house and closed the door.
Yunmei naturally knew that the relationship between the head Leng who had turned into a spirit ghost and the new male head was quite unusual, so he simply ignored it.
Passing through the meeting hall in the middle, Ding Fan entered Leng Ling'er's room. It was cleaned regularly and was spotless. The jade-carved bed was covered with soft silk bedding and a blue gauze curtain that was anti-mosquito and light-transmitting.
Then open the wooden door of the partition, and inside is the washing area. The natural jade washbasin is quite unique, and there is also a large bathtub with clear mountain spring water.
Leng Ling'er appeared and looked around. She was familiar with everything in the house and had many memories. However, as a spirit ghost, these would no longer belong to her.
"Ling'er, as the head of a party, your personal living environment is too ordinary!" Ding Fan frowned slightly. It doesn't look as luxurious as Sikong Ye's room in Fuyun Mountain.
"I don't want to be special. What I cultivate is my heart. It doesn't matter where I live." Leng Ling'er said it grandly.
"Hehe, I still don't believe it. Is there some secret passage?" Ding Fan smiled evilly. The room was clearly visible, and it didn't look like he could hide a treasure.
"Then take a look." Leng Ling'er also gave it a try.
Ding Fan came to the window first, opened the curtain, and saw that Yunmei and two guardians had neatly moved the long table away, returned to his residence, and even turned off the lights.
No one would come in to disturb him, so Ding Fan opened his eyes and began to search carefully in the house. Leng Ling'er followed behind with a smile, describing him as inseparable, which is very appropriate.
Ten minutes later, Ding Fan discovered the mystery. Leng Ling'er's jade bed was close to the ground. Under his eyes, the auras of the upper and lower parts were obviously different.
"Haha, I found it, it's under the bed." Ding Fan said with a smile.
"Do you know how to open it?" Leng Ling'er came over and asked.
"Try it!"
Ding Fan put his hands under the jade bed, and there were two places where the aura was particularly strong, and a burst of true energy was injected at the same time.
There was no sound. The lower part of the jade bed slowly popped up. It was pitch black below. When I looked over, I saw that there were steps.
"It would be a pity if you don't become a thief." Leng Ling'er held her forehead and sighed. The mechanism was cracked so quickly. As a designer, she has no sense of accomplishment.
"Didn't your disciples discover this place?" Ding Fan asked.
"Other than Yunmei and the cleaning disciples, who would dare to break into the leader's room privately? I guess Yunmei must have come here, but I didn't realize that I got an advantage from you after all." Leng Ling'er snorted.
"Hey, thank you! I'll go down and see what kind of treasure Master Leng has hidden." Ding Fan stepped under the bed and walked along the steps for a short time before a secret room appeared in front of him.
It has an area of about 100 square meters, is perfectly round, but is empty. The ground is flat, the stone walls are smooth and carefully polished, and there are several storage compartments recessed on one side of the stone wall.
