Liu Ling, who had been waiting outside Yanxia Island for a long time, also spotted Li Zhe's sword light coming rapidly from a distance. He immediately jumped up from where he was and shouted at Li Zhe:
"Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Li!"
The people around him were also looking at Liu Ling, and only this beloved disciple of Zi Mansion dared to do this.
Li Zhe also recognized this weird Junior Sister Liu. He also lowered his sword light and came to Liu Ling, smiling and saying:
"How come Junior Sister Liu has time to come to my Yanxia Island?"
Seeing Li Zhe's sword light coming down, everyone around him was in a hurry and noisy for a while. They all said hello to Li Zhe. Li Zhe just waved his hand and took it as a response. With Li Zhe's current status, it's natural for him to do so. Don't pay too much attention to these etiquettes.
Liu Ling was filled with joy when she saw that Senior Brother Li actually stopped because of his shout. His face turned red for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.
Li Zhe was not in a hurry, so he looked at Junior Sister Liu quietly. After a while, Liu Ling finally managed to say:
"Replying to Senior Brother, I am here to send you a congratulatory gift on the orders of Senior Sister!"
At this time, several people beside Liu Ling also saluted and said:
"I am also here to deliver congratulatory gifts on the orders of my senior brother!"
Li Zhe glanced around and realized that these were all familiar faces. They were all Meng Zhenyang, Han Dao's fellow juniors and juniors who were the true disciples. Some of them were quite familiar. Including Liu Ling, there were eight people in total. Exactly the number of the other eight inner disciples except Li Zhe.
Obviously, all the true disciples of the inner sect sent people to send congratulatory gifts and congratulate Li Zhe on becoming the first disciple. This is what should be done and has always been the rule in the Donghua sect.
Regardless of whether it is the master-disciple line or the family line, although he did not get the first disciple position he wanted, everything is settled now. Li Zhe took the first disciple position because he was personally appointed by the master. Zhu Zhen all nodded in agreement in Xuanhua Palace, and it was something that could not be changed.
Moreover, one thing that both the family and the master-disciple lineage can accept is that it is better for the position of the first disciple to fall on Li Zhe than to fall into the hands of the other party, so they both acquiesce in the outcome of this matter. .
Since both parties have acquiesced in this matter, nothing extraneous has happened. Among the true disciples, Li Zhe has good friends with the master and disciples. Although he has no friendship with the true disciples of the aristocratic family, he has no friendship. If there is bad blood, even the Cui family will no longer mention their previous rift with Li Zhe.
Therefore, it was reasonable to send congratulatory gifts from fellow disciples. Originally, the congratulatory gifts should have been sent that day, but Li Zhe had gone into seclusion as soon as he came back. So after learning that Li Zhe had left seclusion today, Liu Ling and others He was sent here again.
"In this case, several junior brothers and sisters will accompany me to the island so that I can fulfill my friendship as a landlord."
As soon as Li Zhe said this, he aroused the envy of the other waiting monks around him. Liu Ling also had a look of eagerness on his face, but then he seemed to have thought of something and could only say with a look of regret:
"Senior Brother Li, I will have to go back and answer my orders after I deliver the congratulatory gifts. When I came, Senior Sister had already warned me that Senior Brother had just ascended the position of the first disciple and must be busy with everything, so I specifically stopped Ling'er not to disturb Senior Brother. "
Li Zhe glanced at the crowds of inner disciples around him and felt a little helpless. He was indeed going to be busy for a while!
"In this case, I won't keep you waiting. Go back and say hello to all the senior brothers and sisters for me. I would like to say thank you very much for the gifts!"
"It's Senior Brother Li, I'll definitely bring him to you!"
Liu Ling and other disciples of Zi Mansion all said in unison, and then Chan Juan, the deacon of Li Zhe's Yanxia Island, went around to accept the congratulatory gifts sent by Liu Ling and others one by one. Liu Ling and others had arrived earlier. When they were outside Yanxia Island, Chanjuan came out to receive her. After all, she was a disciple of the Zifu sect and was entrusted by the true disciple of the sect, so Chanjuan did not dare to neglect, but she also did not dare to put him on the island at will, so she accompanied him. Wait outside here.
Afterwards, these Zifu disciples who came to give congratulatory gifts from the true disciples all bowed and left. Only Liu Ling was somewhat reluctant to leave.
Li Zhe also briefly glanced at the congratulatory gifts sent by Liu Ling and others. Although they were things that Li Zhe could not use, they were quite valuable in total, such as magic weapons and elixirs. Although he was There is no need for it, but I still have two precious disciples, and I can give them to Guo Ang and Xu Baoer in the future.
Speaking of which, except for the real treasure fishing rod, Li Zhe's possessions are really shabby. There are not many things that can be obtained. In the future, he will never be able to reward his disciples and there will be nothing that can be obtained. Something.
At present, the things sent by Liu Ling and others can be regarded as giving Li Zhe some financial resources, and he will not be unable to give gifts to his disciples, so he is quite satisfied.
Just as Li Zhe was about to enter the island, another cry came from the distance:
"Senior Brother Li!"
Li Zhe raised his eyes and saw that the person coming was none other than Junior Brother Zhou Cangzhou, accompanied by the talkative Junior Brother Lin Mingfeng. He really came up with whatever he wanted and said Cao Cao and Cao Cao would be here.
Li Zhe was thinking about bringing Zhou Cang and Lin Mingfeng together to discuss the matter of recruiting talents among the cold-blooded monks. He never thought that these two people would come to his door. However, these two people were also related to him. As he got closer, he heard that it was time to come out of seclusion.
At that moment, Li Zhe stopped where he was. When the two of them escaped from the light and fell, Zhou Cang, Lin Mingfeng and Li Zhe had not seen each other for three years. Until that day on Gengjin Island, Li Zhe flew to the palace on Namao Ri. When they went to a meeting, they were both surprised and happy to see Li Zhe, but they couldn't come out to meet each other due to the occasion.
Later, they watched Li Zhe fight in the sky, against Meng Zhenyang and Wei Gongliang, and finally won the battle and succeeded in taking the position of the first disciple. Zhou Cang and Lin Mingfeng were very excited, and they never Thinking that the most daring idea in their minds had actually come true.
So today I heard the news that Li Zhe had left seclusion, so I hurriedly came to see him, and happened to meet Li Zhe who had returned from the Xuanhua Zi Mansion.
"I've met Senior Brother Li!"
The two of them also saluted solemnly in front of Li Zhe. Li Zhe also smiled and stretched out his hand to support him:
"You two junior brothers, there is no need to be polite, please follow me to the island to talk!"
Zhou Cang and Lin Mingfeng also straightened up and said:
"I think so too!"
Looking at the bustling crowd outside, Li Zhe felt that it was not a problem to have been gathering here, and he said at the moment:
"Fellow disciples, please go back first. I know what you mean, but it's not a problem to be blocked at the entrance of my Yanxia Island. At that time, others will think that my Yanxia Island is a pork seller in the Donghua Sect. Where is the place!”
The term "selling pork" also comes from an allusion. According to legend, there was a free-spirited Yuanying elder in the Donghua sect several generations ago. After reaching the third level of Yuanying, he thought that he could not break into the purple mansion. With his free and easy temperament, he put this matter behind him and began to travel around and cultivate himself.
And after this Yuanying elder traveled in the mortal world for a period of time, he fell in love with pig meat, that is, pork, which even ordinary nobles despised, and he had to eat it every day. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't eat. Later, he even opened a piece of land in his monastery to raise pigs. At that time, it also attracted a group of Donghua sect disciples to come to watch the joke every day.
The bustling scene is not much different from the scene outside Li Zhe's Yanxia Island now, but one of them is here to see a joke, and now everyone outside Li Zhe's Yanxia Island is here to try his luck.
This Yuanying elder also got the title of a pig-raising elder, but he has a free and easy-going personality, and he doesn't care even if his fellow disciples make jokes. He even joked that he would sell pork in the Donghua sect, which was attracted by the people in the sect for a while. The joke has been passed down to this day.
What Li Zhe said was a pun. Everyone was familiar with this allusion, and they all smiled knowingly when they heard Li Zhe say it.
Moreover, Li Zhe is now the first disciple. Naturally, no one dares to disobey what he says. Besides, Senior Brother Li is already easy to talk to. No one dares to stay here. He and others are here to try their luck. Seeing if I could be favored by Senior Brother Li, it would not be fun if I angered Senior Brother Li by not leaving, so they all bowed and then left.
For a moment, the outside of Yanxia Island was completely empty, which made Chanjuan beside Li Zhe breathe a sigh of relief. This formation was really too scary.
Seeing everyone retreating, Li Zhe waved his hand and a portal appeared above the barrier outside Yanxia Island. Li Zhe took the lead and entered the island with his sword in hand. Zhou Cang and Lin Mingfeng also hurriedly followed. , and the last one was the deacon on the island, Chanjuan. After Chanjuan entered, the restricted portal closed on its own.
Zhou Cang, Lin Mingfeng and others followed Li Zhe into the Dharma Pavilion. Li Zhe also waved his hand for them to sit down on both sides.
"I haven't congratulated Senior Brother Li on becoming the first disciple, but we are here to congratulate him today!"
After the host and guest took their seats respectively, Zhou Cang and Lin Mingfeng also spoke in unison.
Li Zhe smiled and said:
"Then thank you two junior brothers. However, the two junior brothers who came today are probably not just here to congratulate!"
Zhou Cang on the side had not yet spoken, but Lin Mingfeng, the notoriously talkative junior fellow student, couldn't help but said:
"Since Senior Brother Li has said so, then Junior Brother, I will speak frankly. Senior Brother has achieved the position of the first disciple and his subordinates will definitely need manpower. In this case, Senior Brother Zhou and I have volunteered here today!"
Junior Brother Lin has always had this temperament, being simple and direct and not treating himself as an outsider at all. Zhou Cang on the side also looked helpless, but what Lin Mingfeng said was indeed the truth.
