Chapter 192 Returning a Gift

If this is done according to the Confucian routine, there must be a special ceremonial officer shouting at the side, such as reading a long passage of so-called master's rules and asking Qi Xuansu if he can accept them? Qi Xuansu honestly answered that he was willing to accept them. Then there were a lot of other questions, and Qi Xuansu answered them one by one. Finally, he knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, and Donghua Zhenren personally helped Qi Xuansu up, and then it was considered finished.

It looked very solemn, a bit like Westerners swearing on the scriptures.

However, after the reconstruction of Taoism, all of them were abolished.

De-Confucianization is not an empty talk. In addition, where did the master's rules come from? Where are the moral precepts and laws of Taoism? Abiding by the moral precepts and laws of Taoism is something that every Taoist must do, and there is no need to emphasize it again when worshipping a master. Doesn't it mean that you don't have to abide by them if you don't worship a master? It's neither fish nor fowl. Just abolish them all.

In the end, it became such a simple ceremony.

Qi Xuansu just bowed, and even saved the last help.

As for why so many guests were invited, the fundamental reason is two words: witness.

Please bear witness, make this matter public, and let it be known. If only Qi Xuansu and Donghua Zhenren knew about it, if Donghua Zhenren was gone, someone would come out and say that Qi Xuansu was not Donghua Zhenren's disciple, or if the two suddenly changed their minds, the master would not recognize the disciple, and the disciple would not recognize the master. Even if there were files from Ziwei Hall, it would still be a storm.

With so many witnesses, these unexpected situations can be avoided. If anyone came to question, half of the Taoist high-level officials were watching at the time, so how could you question?

After the ceremony, all the guests spoke out to congratulate, as if they had rehearsed beforehand, and spoke in unison.

Then many guests came forward in turn according to their status and status, and personally congratulated Donghua Zhenren and Qi Xuansu.

Donghua Zhenren and Qi Xuansu, the master and apprentice, returned the greetings one by one.

Among them were Zhang Yuelu and Xiao Yin. Xiao Yin learned quickly from Zhang Yuelu and bowed his hands to congratulate in a proper manner, in a disciplined manner.

As the elder of the elders, Donghua Zhenren was very generous and had someone send a big white crane to Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin was sweet-mouthed and praised Donghua Zhenren. He also secretly said that the difference between Donghua Zhenren and someone was the difference between a big white crane and a big white goose. As for who this big white goose was, someone knew it in his heart.

Qi Xuansu didn't know what to say, so he could only glare at Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin was not afraid at all. When the ceremony was over, she would take the big white crane to find Qi Niang. What can she do to me? What can she do to me?

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, what's the point!

This time, congratulations were still the main thing, but no one came to praise Qi Xuansu again.

What young talent, a man like a dragon, how can you say it? It's better not to say such a thoughtless compliment.

No one praised the first among the young disciples. He was already the chief deputy hall master, and he was still talking about how young people were. How could those seventh-generation disciples who couldn't even get the chief deputy hall master live at such an old age?

As for temperament, who doesn't have some temperament as long as they are in that position? Or momentum. But when they fell into the sky net, they lost all their temperament and momentum, and were left in a mess.

Sometimes, it all depends on the realm of cultivation.

When Master Donghua sat there, auspicious clouds appeared, not because of Master Donghua's power and status, but because of his immortal cultivation.

Huangfu Ji saw it today and realized how powerful the three crown princes of the sect were. They deliberately stayed in the pseudo-immortal realm for many years, and their foundation was so solid that they were comparable to many old immortals once they stepped into the immortal realm.

Although Master Donghua and others are unlikely to try to survive the catastrophe, this solid foundation provides them with a possibility, that is, the possibility of surviving the heavenly catastrophe. In case the situation changes, they will choose to survive the catastrophe and stay in the world in the end, and the probability is also higher.

It is one thing to be prepared and not to use it. It is another thing to be unprepared.

Qi Xuansu stood beside Donghua Zhenren. Even though he could not compete with Donghua Zhenren, he was not completely overshadowed by Donghua Zhenren. He had real talent and cultivation. More importantly, Qi Xuansu had used external forces many times to develop pseudo-immortal cultivation. He was well versed in the mystery of pseudo-immortals, just like the descent of ancient immortals. In the eyes of many people, Qi Xuansu was already very close to pseudo-immortals, and it was only a matter of time before he was promoted to pseudo-immortals.

How old is Qi Xuansu?

If nothing unexpected happens, Qi Xuansu will be able to touch the threshold of immortals at the age of fifty. Then, like Donghua Zhenren, he will use ten years to consolidate his foundation and become an immortal at the age of sixty, just in time to compete for the Grand Master.

Huangfu Ji judged that Yao and Zhang were not as good as Li and Qi, and the basis was here.

If Qingwei Zhenren won and became the seventh-generation Grand Master, he decided to help him get on the horse and send him off, and held the Grand Master election in advance, just when the three Taoist masters were fifty years old.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei at this time will most likely not be able to become immortals, and they are still half a step away, and this half a step is a world of difference. Li Changge can force himself to become an immortal. This huge gap in realm cultivation will make Li Changge sweep the two without a doubt, and there is no reason to speak of it. .

In Taoism, realm cultivation is the foundation. Now the three crown princes are so deadlocked, the premise is that no one has an advantage in cultivation. If a one-tribulation immortal comes out at this time, the result will definitely be undoubted.

In this case, if Li Changge wins, the Li family can achieve the re-election of the Grand Master.

For nearly a hundred years, Taoism has been under the rule of the Li family, and with the halo of Daozu and Xuansheng, the dream of the Li family may be realized.

Donghua Zhenren and Cihang Zhenren must be guarded. Now it seems that the only one who can fight against Li Changge is Qi Xuansu.

Speaking of which, today in addition to the older generation of Taoists, the new generation of Taoists have also arrived.

Zhang Yuelu, Li Changge, Yao Pei.

There were also some eighth-generation disciples who came to watch the ceremony with their elders. When they saw Sanxiu again, only Yao Pei was alone.

The Sanxiu of the older generation, Master Donghua and Master Cihang are still alone. The new generation of Sanxiu is just the opposite.

There is a ghost girl following Zhang Yuelu, who is lively and active. She is often scolded by Zhang Yuelu softly, and then stays quiet for a moment. Her big black and white eyes move around, making her look weird. At this time, Zhang Yuelu looks like a mother. Li Changge was accompanied by Princess Chiying. The two of them treated each other as if they were guests, as if they were getting married.

Many people, both men and women, lamented. Naturally, men do not dare to compare with Chief Qi, and women do not dare to compete with His Majesty the Emperor's daughter. However, the men were still a little relieved, after all, there was still Yao Pei.

At this moment, Master Lan Da said: "Xuanji, let us see what apprenticeship ceremony Tianyuan gave us."

Master Lan Da took the initiative, and the others started to make noises.

Master Lan Da’s move had no profound intention, it was just out of curiosity. It can also be understood as a state of doing what one wants without exceeding the rules. No one stipulates that gifts cannot be opened on the spot. Master Landa has reached such a status and age. Apart from his posthumous reputation, he doesn't care about anything. Naturally, he is fearless and has no scruples. He can do whatever he thinks.

I have to say that at this point, Master Lan Da and Xiao Yin are somewhat similar. However, Xiao Yin is still at the first level of the realm, seeing mountains as mountains, while Master Lan Da is already at the third level, seeing mountains as mountains. Mountain.

Master Donghua couldn't refuse, so he had to open the gift box and took out two pieces of ink. Xiaoxiao was surprised.

The guests present were all highly cultivated, and they could see it clearly no matter how far away they were, and they all marveled.

"It turned out to be the work of Xuansheng and Mrs. Xuansheng."

"The key is a pair, which is so rare."

"I have long heard that Mrs. Xuansheng has many hobbies and is good at making ink, but Xuansheng does not have such hobbies. It seems that Xuansheng could not resist Mrs. Xuansheng's repeated requests, so we made ink together."

There were also some guests who had no research on such elegant things, but the names of "Xuan Sheng" and "Xuan Sheng Madam" were well known to everyone, and they all agreed and talked about it.

For example, Xiao Yin.

Although she had a big brush, it didn't use ink. She didn't understand it at all, but she followed the people next to her and cheered, nodding seriously and even pointing her thumb.

Others can't help but praise him a few times. It was indeed taught by Chief Qi and Chief Zhang. He understands this at such a young age. He is a good scholar.

The smile on Master Donghua's face was genuine happiness. At his level, unless he was gifting a fairy, he would have to resort to tricks. These two pieces of ink have no magical power, but the meaning is too good. Xuansheng is the first generation of great masters and the ancestor of the resurgence of Taoism. Several other great masters are more or less controversial, with the exception of Xuansheng.

Officials like the seal ornaments of Lao Yuan hanging the seal, because it means sealing the seal of the marquis, and the same is true for Taoist priests.

Of course, Xuansheng left a lot of things, but according to Xuansheng's wishes, most of them have been returned to the public, and a small part is in the hands of the Li family. The Li family is reluctant to take it out when they marry their daughter or marry their daughter-in-law, and even more so that outsiders can take it out as gifts. not enough.

This was what Mrs. Xuansheng gave to Yaozu. The Yao family would definitely not take it out and give it to others. Who would have thought that Qiniang, an unscrupulous descendant, would steal it and take advantage of Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu's apprenticeship ceremony was well-received, so naturally he had to wait and see how Donghua would return the favor.

Everyone looked at Qi Xuansu.

Naturally, Qi Xuansu couldn't refuse and opened the gift box.

There are two pieces of jade on both sides, which are somewhat similar to the ancient sword coins. They also look like a crescent moon. The whole body is green and semi-transparent, but the blood threads inside are almost connected into one piece, making the green green reveal a rich color. blood red.

The two "crescent moons" are placed opposite each other, with the tip of the moon facing the tip of the moon, just forming the appearance of a full moon.

If this is placed outside, I am afraid that most people will not know what it is. However, there are too many experts among the guests today, and almost half of the senior officials of the Taoist sect are here, so many people still recognize it.

It is "Xuanyu"!

Qi Xuansu's face became solemn.

Li Changge raised his eyebrows.

Master Qingwei said: "It can be seen that Brother Pei Dao is interested and troubled."

Master Jiang Da also said: "Such a big 'Xuan Jade' is not easy to find."

Master Donghua smiled and said nothing.

There are also people who don’t know what “Xuanyu” is, but after hearing what Master Qingwei and Master Jiang Dazhen said, and looking at the demeanor of several parties involved, especially Qi Xuansu’s, one can guess that this is probably not inferior to the apprenticeship ceremony. thing.

Of course, only Qi Xuansu knows best. With these two pieces of "Xuan Jade", his pseudo-immortality is already confirmed.
