Qing Ming seemed to have no intention of recruiting disciples, but just sat quietly and watched.
It's easy to get one of Yiqun's talents, but hard to find two. Yu Dushui didn't want to be the icing on the cake of Wanli Peak. He smiled and said: "It has been said that a lot of gold is easy to find, but a virtuous person is rare. I haven't accepted a disciple for a long time, and I still hope that my senior brother will give up his love."
Hearing this, Wan Lifeng feigned anger and said, "Everything must come first, first served. The quota was assigned by Ruoxi. You are the youngest among us, so why do you come to ask for someone?"
Yu Dushui couldn't even laugh or cry, but he finally paid a high price to get the girl with a spiritual marrow and a phoenix body to come over.
Wan Lifeng was overjoyed as he considered the pros and cons. Yuan Muyun turned his eyes slightly, looked at Qing Ming and said slowly: "Then what are the arrangements for the remaining little friend?"
There was a sudden silence in the hall. Yan Ci was a body with true spiritual roots. He could be said to be favored by God in the mortal world, but he was not outstanding in the world of cultivation where there were many geniuses. Although there is no shortage of his place on the road, he is destined to lag behind others from the beginning of his cultivation.
Yan Ci suddenly felt discouraged, and when he was thinking about how to flatter him and earn some favor, an ethereal voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Yan Ci will join my sect and become a direct disciple." The speaker was Qing Ming.
This statement shocked everyone.
Wan Lifeng couldn't sit still at first, and said in surprise: "Junior sister's cultivation is at a critical juncture. Once she breaks through, she will be on par with Master Luo Yuan and the original headmaster. This move is related to the rise and fall of Shenyuan, so we must be cautious."
Liu Ruoxi also advised: "Maybe you can bow down to Yanfeng and be taught by me personally. I will never disappoint my junior sister."
Qing Ming smiled faintly and said: "My little sister has her own reasons. You don't need to worry about me. I just hope you can fulfill your unkind request."
Wan Lifeng's face was full of surprise. Qing Ming started a little later, but in terms of the subtleties of Taoism, it was only under the master of the garden, Luo Wangshu, and the headmaster, Yuan Muyun. He had been alone for many years and had no disciples under the gate. Yan Ci's mediocre qualifications can be included in the training of the outer sect. How he improves depends entirely on his own understanding and chance. How can he easily occupy the training resources of his direct disciples? This matter is worth pondering.
Shi Tingqing Ming said: "When you are lost, you will be saved by the master, and when you are enlightened, you will be saved by yourself. I don't need special privileges as a young disciple. I hope everyone here will not reveal this matter for now."
Qing Ming had made up his mind and no one could try to persuade him any more. Yuan Muyun nodded and said calmly, "Just follow what junior sister wants." After saying that, he asked everyone to keep the secret, and then signaled Tong Meng to prepare for the entrance.
Tong Meng took the order and took the white jade prohibition token, storage ring and spirit beast bracelet and distributed them to the three of them.
The jade plaque is about the size of a palm, with a hazy white light, and is engraved with the green seal character "Tongchenyuan". The ring and bracelet are both azure in color and have a simple shape.
The young man warmly ordered the three of them to drip essence and blood into the token. The essence and blood seeped into the jade token when it touched it, and then released a round of white light that enveloped the Lord of Blood, engraving their images and names. The image is lifelike and rotates slightly.
Yan Ci secretly glanced at the jade plaques of the brother and sister, which were clearly marked with the words Jiang Jinyue and Jiang Shuyue.
It's a very unique name. Just when Yan Ci was thinking this, the girl turned around and looked at her. Their eyes met. The girl's face turned red and she lowered her head shyly.
After receiving the items, he followed the teacher to the ancestor's ancestral hall on the back mountain.
The main hall is still carved with carved beams and painted pillars, and the red and red couplets are carved with regular script.
There is a huge long painting hanging on the wall inside the hall. In the painting, a woman has a faint smile on her lips, she is extremely beautiful, her delicate body is wrapped in a white feather dress, her lotus feet are stepping on colorful auspicious clouds, and a fairy-like vermilion silk is wrapped around her fingers. , the feeling of being blown by the wind is vividly reflected on the paper, but I don’t know who the portrait is.
Below the picture, there are black altar tables descending step by step, and more than ten golden tablets with different names engraved on them are arranged among them.
Two glazed ever-lasting lamps were lit at the bottom of the offering table, and a bronze tripod was placed in the middle, with several burned out incense candles inserted in it.
The atmosphere was very solemn. Yan Ci and others knelt down three times and kowtowed to Patriarch Bi. Following the instructions, they turned around and called the master to kowtow. The ceremony was very simple and they transitioned into official disciples of Tongchenyuan.
After leaving the palace, Qing Ming took Yan Ci to say goodbye to the peak masters, sacrificed a green bamboo with glowing green light, took Yan Ci to float on the bamboo, and headed back to Qifeng Peak.
The green luan bird was originally a spiritual beast loyal to Qing Ming. Soon after, it flew back to the peak seemingly unhappy. I wonder if it felt a little more free and loose following Han Bing.
Yan Ci saw it and almost burst into laughter.
Qifeng Peak. Legend has it that a phoenix once perched on the parasol tree, making birds avoid it, hence the name.
Qifeng Peak is located on the west side of Taichu Peak, with beautiful peaks and deep forest foothills. There are several courtyards and pavilions scattered on the mountainside. Disciples are occasionally seen coming and going, but the popularity is not very high. There is a temple standing in the Peak Hall, named "Zhishui", and there are fewer and fewer people. There is another place in the courtyard called "Chuxiao", which is where Qingming meditates and rests.
The mountains are covered with clouds, and the wind is gloomy all over the mountain. On the top of Qifeng Peak, green cypresses are planted with thousands of pearls and ten thousand knots. The courtyard is covered with strange flowers and brocade, and the fragrant Yao grass is fragrant. Compared with Taichu Peak, it is less grand but more elegant.
Yan Ci followed Qing Ming as he walked into the Zhishui Palace. He saw that the ground was covered with white jade, and the seals were carved with golden lotuses. The lotus petals were fresh, exquisite, and beautiful. Inside the hall, there is a red sandalwood table with a dragon pattern and several plates of spiritual fruits.
Hanging on the wall is the calligraphy and painting "Heart Ruo Shui Shui", written in a graceful and unconventional way.
Qing Ming seemed to have known for a long time that Han Bing had told Yan Ci a lot of knowledge about cultivation through word of mouth, so he put on his skirt and sat on the red sandalwood cloud-patterned rattan chair, took out a brocade handkerchief and a mutton-fat jade bottle and gave them to him, and said warmly: " There is a scroll of Qi refining and meditation in the storage ring given by the master. It has been modified by the master to have the effect of purifying mana. You can understand it according to this method in the future. Also remember to take a spirit-quenching pill every month to quench the spirit. force."
The brocade handkerchief is all written in small regular script, the font is long and beautiful, the characters are in pearls, and the character "青" is written at the end.
Yan Ci bowed and took the brocade handkerchief and jade bottle and said, "Thank you, Master."
Qing Ming ordered: "Qi is the foundation of cultivation. For the time being, you will accompany the outer disciples to practice in Didui Courtyard. First, introduce the spiritual energy into the body to cleanse the muscles and bones, and then go up the mountain after establishing the foundation."
It turns out that the five peaks of this Luojia sacred mountain are where the elders and inner disciples of the master's sect build their caves and practice. Between the Taichu Peak and the other four peaks, there is a place for the outer disciples who belong to the four peaks to ask questions.
They are Didicui Courtyard on Qifeng Peak, Liudan Courtyard on Huiyan Peak, Chuanting Courtyard on Jiushou Peak and Bowei Courtyard on Zuowang Peak. Taichu Peak, as the center of Shenyuan, does not accept outside disciples.
Qing Ming told him not to be lazy, and Chun Chun's teachings were like a warm current watering Yan Ci's heart.
Suddenly, I saw a strong young man walking into the hall, bowing and saying, "Disciple Li Yedi pays homage to my uncle."
Qing Ming nodded slightly, explained a little and then pointed at Yan Ci to let him see.
Li Yedi hurriedly saluted and said, "I've met my uncle."
When Yan Ci was extremely embarrassed and at a loss, Qing Ming explained: "Ye Di is the great-great-grandson of Elder Li, so he is younger."
Yan Ci only dared to accept half a courtesy, but he secretly thought that it was interesting that the people who walked all over the mountains and fields were this uncle.
Qing Ming told Li Yedi not to disclose his identity as Zhang Yanci's personal disciple, and waved for the two of them to leave. Li Yedi respectfully claimed that it was true, and led Yan out of the palace as a farewell ceremony.
