Chapter Fifty-Eight: Saying that a gentleman is as gentle as jade
The Qianqing Palace, which was originally an extremely solemn place, was surrounded by people on the three inner and outer floors today because of the apprenticeship ceremony.
"I heard that the sect master has been practicing in seclusion for two years, and I don't know when he will be released. It is indeed a pity that the sect master is not present in this trial." Someone in the crowd said.
"Indeed, the disciples of this generation have not yet seen the sect master's grace. It is indeed a pity."
"By the way, guess which mountain gate Wang Luo will choose?" someone else in the crowd said.
"It must be Zhenxiefeng."
"I guess it must be Hibiscus Gate or Kaisu Peak."
"That could also be Tianyifeng." Several people in the crowd argued.
"I would like to know which mountain gate Bai Ye wants to go to."
"Why?"
"You tell me, who in the entire Tai'an Sect dares to want him now? Although Bai Ye's strength is good and his practice is high, there are big problems with Bai Ye's life experience after all, so Bai Ye is an antidote and a medicine. poison."
We haven't waited for the discussion among several people to end.
Zhang Xi pressed his palms on the stage to signal everyone to quiet down.
In Tai'an Sect's apprenticeship ceremony, the disciples will first choose a mountain gate, and then there will be a formal apprenticeship ceremony.
The selection started with Zhao Qianshu, the last one who was lucky enough to enter the sect.
When the spiritual lamp above his head shone on Zhao Qianshu, Zhao Qianshu looked at Wang Luo at a loss.
Why is the order different? Wasn't the first one chosen first? It's better now, I chose first.
The boss didn’t tell me which mountain gate to choose. The boss didn’t tell me which mountain gate to choose now. How can I choose?
"Zhao Qianshu, which mountain gate do you like?" Zhang Xi asked on the stage.
Zhao Qianshu stared at Zhang Xi on the stage: "Well, Peak Master, how many doors do we have?"
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter from the audience,,,
Zhang Xi was also helpless by Zhao Qianshu's words. He rubbed his head and looked at Zhao Qianshu: "You can choose which door sounds good to you."
Then someone said the names of each mountain gate one by one.
Zhao Qianshu said with a stupid look on his face: "Well, then, let's take Xiao Hefeng." Zhao Qianshu muttered.
Among the people standing in front of the main hall, there was an old man with gray hair. He rubbed his head helplessly and said: "Son, why did you choose me to come here?"
Several sect masters around him smiled helplessly when they heard the complaints of Zhou Yanghao, the master of Xiaohe Peak.
In addition to Wang Luo, a rare and once-in-a-century person in the Tai'an Sect, there is also Zhao Qianshu, a "cultivation wizard" who is also a rare and rare person in a hundred years.
Among those who chose in turn, most of them chose Zhenxiefeng, which ranked first, and Tianyi, Furong and Huixu, which ranked second.
The rest are allocated relatively sparsely.
Zhu Yelang also went to Zhenxiefeng.
In addition to Lu Ji, the top ten people also began to make their selections one after another.
When Lin Huazhi arrived at Black Wind Peak, he found the only one without the word peak, but it was one of the ten peaks.
He Wuhong arrived at Qiming Mountain and studied under Qin Guan.
Ye Liantian went to Beidou Mountain and studied under Liu Rushi.
Bai Ye chose a good place, Cuiyan Peak, and followed Jiang Shi who came to see Wang Luo that night.
At this time, the moment of great concern has arrived.
Zhang Xi looked at Wang Luo at the front and asked, "Have you ever thought about which mountain gate to go to?"
Before Zhang Xi could finish speaking, Liu Qingshan from the Furong Sect stood up directly: "Wang Luo, we two have become friends. Come to my Furong Sect. It doesn't matter whether you are a disciple or not. The main thing is that I like you."
"Well, Liu Qingshan, you can tell me, Wang Luo, does he need your help in selecting him? He is still friends with you, why should he be friends with you or not? Wang Luo, come with me, you can negotiate whatever terms you want." Hui Xu Feng
Wen Buchou smoothed his goatee and said.
"Old man Wen, shut up! It's annoying when I see you."
"Hey, what's wrong? I'm unhappy. Why don't we have a fight? Whoever wins, Wang Luo, will follow."
"I told you two senior brothers to stop talking and arguing. Junior sister hasn't spoken yet, but Wang Luo said you have to come with me, right, Wang Luo." Jiang Shi said with a gentle tone.
After that, he didn't forget to give Wang Luo a wink.
Wen Buchou and Liu Qingshan looked at each other, both dissatisfied with each other.
At this time, a quiet scholar came out from the side and looked at Wang Luo with a pleasant look: "If you don't consider Zhenxiefeng, I will be very happy if you come. Zhenxiefeng is the open source stream of Tai'an Sect. You can't go wrong if you come.
of."
The person who spoke was Zhao Bingwen, the master of Zhenxie Peak. He had gone to the Fiery Country some time ago and finally came back last night in order to grab Wang Luo.
Zhenxiefeng has no shortage of talents, let alone people.
What is missing is this kind of unique leader.
Although Zhao Bingwen is in charge of Zhenxiefeng, besides the sect leader, the second person is Zhang Xi, who ranks third, not Zhao Bingwen. But the reason why he can take charge of Zhenxiefeng is because he is mellow and can adjust everything.
.
The Tai'an Sect has always had quarrels among its various sects, and in the end they would invite Zhao Bingwen to be a lobbyist.
Therefore, there is controversy over who will be in charge of Zhenxiefeng, but Zhao Bingwencheng is the only one.
There was a sigh among the crowd of onlookers. Many of the people present were old people who had experienced several times. Zhao Bingwen usually did not invite people in person, but this time he did so. Wang Luo was not able to refute his face.
ah.
Many people cast envious glances at Wang Luo, but you must know that Qin Guan, the current master of Qiming Mountain, was the leader back then. As long as Wang Luo stays in the Tai'an Sect, his future will be bright.
"It's rare. It's rare. Now that Bingwen has spoken, please don't grab it." Zhang Xi said with a smile on his face.
"Wang Luo, what do you think?" Zhang Xi asked again.
Everyone looked towards Wang Luo.
Who will Wang Luo choose?
Wang Luo looked around and saw that there were people at each mountain gate. Wang Luo saw a familiar figure.
Then Wang Luo stood on the spot and bowed deeply: "Thank you all the mountain masters for your support. Wang Luo is very honored. Wang Luo has already made a wish in his heart for what he wants to enter. I choose Lotus Mountain."
After hearing Wang Luo's answer.
The scene fell silent for a moment, and then the crowd burst into an uproar.
"What? Lotus Mountain? Is there any mistake?"
"That's right, Lianhua Mountain? Lianhua Mountain with no more than ten disciples? That's the most rubbish mountain gate in the entire Tai'an Sect. Zhen Xiefeng and Cuiyan Peak are not included in the ten peaks. That's because they are awesome, awesome.
There is one main peak and one female peak. This Lotus Mountain doesn’t even include the three mountains. Is there any mistake?”
The crowd suddenly exploded.
Zhang Xi had a headache, and turned around to look at Nalan Mingri. There were two people coming to the Lianhua Mountain Apprenticeship Conference, one was Nalan Mingri, and the other was his disciple Ling'er.
Nalan Ming looked at Zhang Xi looking at him, nodded and smiled, but said nothing.
However, Ling'er behind him was very happy. He kept tugging on Master Nalan Mingming's sleeves and almost jumped up with joy: "Master, master, my junior brother has chosen us. Did I hear you right? Chief, my junior brother."
Oh my God, you chose our Lotus Mountain."
Nalan Mingming's face was very calm and he just smiled.
Even at this moment, the senior brothers from each mountain gate looked at Nalan Mingri, and Nalan Mingming stood there and smiled in return.
Wen Buchou couldn't help it anymore: "Wang Luo, your brain is blocked by the door. If you don't choose me, forget it. You didn't choose Zhenxie Peak, but you chose Lianhua Mountain. Nalan can teach you tomorrow."
It's a hammer, but it will be wasted if you go there. If you give such a piece of rough jade to him, it will have to be broken."
When Nalan hears it tomorrow, he will turn a deaf ear to it.
But Ling'er felt uncomfortable listening to it, and was about to step forward to have a good argument.
However, Nalan Mingri stopped him: "It's none of our business, just stand still."
Nalan Mingri and Zhao Bingwen are similar but opposite people. Therefore, among the Tai'an sect, as many people as Zhao Bingwen like Zhao Bingwen, there are just as many people who dislike Nalan Mingri.
At this moment, Wang Luo chose Lianhua Mountain, and all the attention turned to Nalan Mingri.
"Master Zhang, I don't know if you have anything else to ask. I've already made my choice."
Wang Luo then said again.
Zhang Xi stared at Wang Luo, sighing a lot in his heart, and then looked at Nalan Mingri.
"Okay, since this year's disciples have all chosen the mountain gate. At this moment, we formally worship God, the sect, and the master!"
"The apprenticeship ceremony officially begins!"
Zhang Xi gave an order, and there was a roar in the sky above Tai'an Sect, exploding like thunder.
The entire sky curtain was stained with red and glowing with blood, and there was a seam in it, which was slowly torn open.
I saw a mountain appearing in the sky. From the top to the bottom of the mountain, there were densely packed tombstones.
Very spectacular.
"Our Tai'an sect has been established for thousands of years, and has experienced wars and separations to this day. From the beginning of the Zhenxie Peak to the single peak, we have developed to the current three mountains, eight gates and ten peaks. We should be the first sect in Yanyun. Today, the sect has recruited disciples from all over the world.
The sea accepts all rivers. I respect all the ancestors and worship them!" Zhang Xi gave an order.
The entire Tai'an Sect's disciples, as well as those who officially entered the sect today, uniformly bowed towards the Patriarch's Hall in the sky.
"In addition to the ancestors who have passed through the years, there are also people from the sect who died in foreign lands during the wars and wars. They are all buried on the mountain of the ancestor hall. Our Tai'an sect has stood for thousands of years and should be regarded as the four words of peace in the world.
Goodbye!" Zhang Xi said.
When everyone stood up after bowing, Zhang Xi waved his hand, and the sky returned to its original state.
"Then start worshiping the master now. Find your master according to the mountain gate you choose. Start one by one. After worshiping, it will end. Everyone will follow their master back to their respective masters." After Zhang Xi finished speaking,
He looked at Wang Luo.
I still feel angry inside.
Within the Qianqing Palace, voices calling for Master began to be heard.
Wang Luo walked up to Nalan Mingri and smiled: "We meet again."
Nalan Mingming also smiled: "Yes, we meet again."
Ling'er, who was hiding behind Nalan Mingri, looked at Wang Luo and waved with a smile: "Hello, little junior brother."
Wang Luo smiled and nodded and called her senior sister.
Ling'er instantly jumped three feet high with joy.
Nalan Mingming looked at the other teachers' gates. There were chairs for the masters beside them, and tea was also placed on them.
Only there was nothing on his side. Nalan smiled awkwardly at Wang Luo tomorrow: "I haven't had an apprentice in so many years. I thought I was just going through the motions today, but I didn't expect that I actually accepted an apprentice."
Ling'er, who was standing behind him, stepped forward and said, "Master, they have gone too far. I have to go to them to argue with them. Why do we, Lianhua Mountain, not have an imperial chair, nor is there any tea? How come we, Lianhua Mountain, don't treat us as such?"
Become a human being.”
Nalan pulled Ling'er over tomorrow: "Master is not even angry, why are you angry, right? If not, there would be nothing. Could it be that your little junior brother can't become a master?"
After Nalan finished speaking tomorrow, he was minding his own business as if he was searching for something on his body. After a while, he finally found a small wine glass. Then he found a pot of wine somewhere and poured it for himself.
He handed it to Wang Luo: "There is no tea, but there is still wine."
Before Nalan Mingming could finish speaking, Ling'er on the side tugged on his sleeve: "Master, you seem to have used up your quota for this month."
Nalan Mingri was stunned: "Your junior brother is here, master is happy."
Ling'er smiled: "Okay! Master will make you happy when you open your mind."
Nalan Mingri, who had no chair to sit on, just stood there blankly. Wang Luo held the wine glass in both hands and knelt down to salute: "My disciple Wang Luo pays homage to the master and wishes the master peace and prosperity every year."
Together." Wang Luo said.
Nalan Mingri helped Wang Luo up again and again and patted Wang Luo on the shoulder: "I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't have anything prepared in advance. It was a bit sloppy. But you can't be stingy when you become a master. The apprenticeship ceremony has already been done. Master
I also want to give you something small."
Nalan Mingming took out a jade plaque from his arms, but it was blank. Nalan Mingming then stretched out his finger and made some gestures on it.
On the front is engraved the Little Nine Kings of Lotus Mountain.
On the back are engraved eight characters, saying that a gentleman is as gentle as jade.
"There are not many people on our mountain. Apart from your master and me, you have seven senior brothers and one senior sister. From now on, you will be the ninth oldest." Nalan said tomorrow.
Wang Luo held the jade plaque and felt a warm current flowing into his heart little by little.
"Thank you, Master, I like it very much." Wang Luo really likes it, because he has become Xiao Jiu now, and he also knows a Xiao Jiu'er.
Wang Luo silently recited the eight characters engraved on the back, saying that a gentleman is as gentle as jade.
What does it mean that Wang Luo is ignorant, but Wang Luo really cannot bear the word "gentleman".
After the apprenticeship ceremony is over, people from each mountain gate lead the disciples back to the mountain gate.
The most inconspicuous thing about Tai'an Sect is the Lotus Mountain.
The rest of the mountain gates are all connected by thoroughfares, but Lianhua Mountain is the only one with long and narrow paths.
Along the way, Ling'er was explaining the scenery along the way.
There are thousands of miles of sunset illuminating the mountains and rivers, there are nine-day flying swords passing over Tai'an, and there is the sound of fists every time the rooster crows.
Linger is like a little bird, chirping all the way.
Nalan wore white clothes tomorrow and walked in front with his hands behind his back.
Wang Luo, who followed behind, followed softly and was silent all the way.
