After Zhuang Yu and Zhang Xuan'an retired, Zhang Guanzhu told the maid outside the door not to disturb Shui Qingru in the main hall. He took the file and walked to the side hall. His wife Yun Qiuhe and Shang Qingyun had not returned from traveling with Shang Qingyun. It’s almost time to return to the sect.
The next day, Zhang Wenfeng was followed by three little ghosts, and the group inspected the medicine gardens and spiritual plant gardens of the sect. This was his old habit.
When walking to the bank of the stream in the forest to the east, I "encountered" He Kuyu with a medicine hoe in his hand.
After decades of practicing in foreign lands, He Kuyu has completely integrated into this world. She looks very different from the old woman before. She dresses up neatly and neatly. She puts down the medicine and hoe tools in her hands and performs Taoist rituals skillfully: "Kuyu has seen the master, Say hello to the viewer."
Zhang Wenfeng stretched out his hand to support him and said, "Get up."
Looking directly at the woman who stood up and raised her head, she saw that the woman hurriedly lowered her head and was full of words and didn't know where to start.
Zhang Wenfeng smiled and said: "He Kuyu, you have passed the three-level assessment of heart, conduct and perseverance I set. I agree to accept you as my direct disciple. Go to the mountain chief to report it and ask the mountain chief's apprentice Ying Miaogu to take care of you." On an auspicious day, you will perform a simple apprenticeship ceremony and formally join my disciples."
He Kuyu was so pleasantly surprised that she didn't know when she passed the Guanzhu's examination. The Guanzhu was the best master in the world, and his actions were mysterious and unpredictable. She hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you so much, Kuyu, for meeting the Master!" "
"Go ahead and remember to give Ying Miaogu three pieces of gold."
Zhang Wenfeng stretched out his hand, waved with a smile, and walked straight past He Kuyu who couldn't help but step aside.
He flipped through the files provided by Zhuang Yu, which recorded He Kuyu's daily words, deeds and deeds over the years, including several outings and experiences. He could get a glimpse of He Kuyu's character and judge it.
He casually made up an assessment of "three levels of heart, conduct, and perseverance" because he didn't want He Kuyu to think that it was easy to become his apprentice, so he wanted to hammer him down so that he wouldn't be arrogant in his future actions.
Leng Xiang and Hu Qiang'er, two clever little ghosts, had already gathered around He Kuyu with smiles and cupped their hands, saying some warm and polite congratulations. Liande laughed and joined in the fun. He Kuyu smiled from ear to ear. She felt a dizzying feeling of happiness after all the hardships. . She will become the disciple of the best master in the world.
Suddenly, a thin voice from the master of the temple came to my ears: "You should slowly ponder the skills in your mind by yourself, and you must not show them to others."
He Kuyu's biggest doubt in his heart was resolved, and he bowed and said, "Yes, I will obey Master's instructions."
Only Master has such uncanny ability to write a complete "Tai Shang Bai Shou Dan Tai Sutra" into her mind. The content is more than twice as much as what she has learned. She has advanced to the third level. , only to realize that there are skills hidden in the sea of consciousness. Little did he know that the technique was left behind by Mo Ye a long time ago.
Zhang Wenfeng walked around in the company of Xiaoyingjing. When he returned to Xiangsui Hall at noon, the maid told him that Shui Qingru had woken up and left.
The little fire bug inside the Lihuo bead is restless and noisy again, conveying the fluctuation and wanting to go out to play.
Lu Huan stayed in the desert of Nanyuan Continent to practice, and it was impossible to return in the past few decades.
Zhang Wenfeng and the little fire bug that had been repaired by Lingzhi told some rules, released the little guy who was playing wildly, and told it to find Hu Qiang'er and the three of them. It was not allowed to be naughty and naughty, and gave it a high-level one that could enter and exit the Fairy Spirit Temple territory Jade token of the array device.
The little fire insect swallowed the jade token, quickly circled its owner twice to express its gratitude, and disappeared in a flash.
Soon I heard Hu Qiang'er's scream coming from a distance, and he was obviously very frightened.
With a mischievous smile on Zhang Wenfeng's lips and a message, Hu Qiang'er dared to surprise and accept the little fire bug that was like a natural enemy to him and could restrain him. Hu Qiang'er's call to greet Leng Xiang and Liande suddenly rang out in the forest.
It’s been a long time since any friends joined Xianlingguan.
At the beginning of the afternoon, Gao Leng, the deacon of the waiting hall, came to visit.
"Master, this is the information I compiled. The Meteorite Canyon in the Western Continent is relatively rich in gold energy, the unpredictable forest in the vast continent is rich in wood energy, and the Jibei Ice Source in the Tianqian Continent is relatively ice-cold. Only the Fengxing Land is not. It’s very satisfactory. In the vast white plains of Tianqian Continent, the wind is only strong in autumn and winter every year, and not even half at other times.”
high
He handed over a stack of maps and files coldly.
A few years ago, he received a summons and sent personnel to various places to investigate and compare and obtain detailed data.
Zhang Wenfeng flipped through the marked maps one by one, and Gao Leng was meticulous in his work. For example, he marked three places with strong gold aura, and marked them according to their quantity, so that he could choose more easily in the future.
After asking some questions and knowing what he was doing, Zhang Guanzhu said a few words of concern about his cultivation, encouraging him not to lose heart and prepare for the second pass.
After sending away the calm and capable Gao Leng, Zhang Wenfeng was reading in the Xiangsui Hall. He heard the maids outside whispering about the temple master about to accept a disciple, and he smiled.
In the evening, the temple owner was walking by the stream. The mountain chief came over and congratulated him, saying, "The fifteenth day of the next month is an auspicious day. It is a good time to accept disciples and open a business. The next good day to accept disciples will have to wait two months."
"Just decide on the fifteenth day of next month. It doesn't need to be too complicated, just keep it simple."
Zhang Wenfeng asked with a smile: "Such a trivial matter shouldn't trouble a busy person like you. Are there other things?"
"Haha, accepting a disciple is no small matter, and it concerns Mr. Mo."
The mountain leader called it a day, and then talked about other things he wanted to do with the temple master, saying: "I received a summons from the Taoist Supervisor in the morning. He wants to invite you to the capital and hold a grand promotion ceremony for you, granting you the title of 'True Lord, Taoist Master'." Guan, when do you have free time? There are many old friends who have sent messages and want to drink your wedding wine. I asked them to wait for now, because I don’t want them to come and disturb your peace."
Zhang Wenfeng thought for a moment and said: "It will be arranged after the fifteenth day of next month. The specific auspicious day for the crown conferment will be decided by you, senior brother. At that time, other friends can go to the capital to support me. He Guangjun, senior brother Zhou, Rong Shuzhi and others will come over tomorrow and the next day. "Okay, I'll make arrangements."
After the mountain chief finished talking about the business, he asked, "How long can you stay in the sect this time?" Zhang Wenfeng smiled and said, "Not long, at most a year."
He also has to go to other continents to replenish the metal, wood, wind, and ice energy of Jiuxing Liuzhu, which may take a long time. After these things are finished, he may go to Shen Yuan Sect's Shen Island to worship the Small Heaven and Earth Stone Sword. Hundreds of years.
At noon on the second day, Yun Qiuhe and Shang Qing rushed back in a hurry. They traveled to Jibei Bingyuan, the farthest Tiangan Continent, and received a message sent by the chief of the mountain to the northernmost point of the vast continent. Hurrying slowly, there is almost no rest on the way.
In the following days, Zhang Wenfeng received close friends at the sect.
Yang Shuilan and Lezi also returned to the sect to stay for a while.
He was busy until April 15th, when he held a simple apprenticeship ceremony in the sect, drank He Kuyu's apprenticeship tea, and accepted He Kuyu, who had unique luck, as his disciple. The matter came to an end and he could finally spend a few days with his wife. Quiet days.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Zhang Guanzhu and his wife attended the grand crowning ceremony held by the Da'an Dynasty.
Almost all fifth-level monks and demon cultivators from the five continents came to watch the ceremony. Except for a few who stay in seclusion and don't care about worldly affairs.
The guests included Shan Zhang, Zhu Xun, Chen Shouzhong, Tu Tufa and others. After the luncheon, Zhang Guanzhu, dressed in purple and black Taoist robes and wearing a purple lotus crown, was invited to the secret room to talk.
The Taoist Supervisor and the Great Heavenly Master extended their hands to be polite, and sat down to say a few words. The Taoist Supervisor said business: "Master Wenfeng, could you please discuss with Taoist Zhao Zhuer and ask her to accept the crown from Da'an Chao Daolu Academy?" ? She was originally the Genealogy Priest of the Immortal Spirit Temple, but she has been practicing in the Western Continent these years, and she made a breakthrough in Wenzhai Academy, so we dare not invite her rashly."
Zhang Wenfeng thought it was no big deal, so he smiled and said, "She is outside. I will discuss it with her later. It shouldn't be a big problem."
His status was different. The Taoist Supervisor and the Great Heavenly Master spoke to him with such politeness and respect that he felt a little uncomfortable.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Wenfeng went out to find Zhao Zhu'er who was talking with Xiao Ni'er and told Zhu'er about the matter.
Zhao Zhuer agreed wholeheartedly. As a Taoist priest, she was no longer suitable to hold promotion ceremonies as a Confucian cultivator at Wenzhai Academy in the Western Continent.
To her, it didn't matter whether she was awarded a crown or anything like that. Since the shopkeeper asked, she would obey.
