Chapter 41: Apprenticeship ceremony

Chapter 41-Apprenticeship Ceremony
The four-eye chief came to Yizhuang, and there was an episode in the middle.
Another disciple of Uncle Jiu, Qiu Sheng, pretended to be a zombie and wanted to scare Wen Cai.
As a result, when the two were fighting, they accidentally overturned the lamp oil, and removed the soul calming charm on the zombie's head brought by the four-eyed Taoist commander, causing the zombies to chase the two and run around in Yizhuang. As a result, Jiu Shu and the four-eyed Daoist had worked so hard to appease the zombies one by one.
"Hmph, I'm so angry, these two brats!"
Looking at Qiusheng and Wencai with anger on his face, the four-eyed Daochang also looked a little ugly, and unceremoniously reprimanded: "You dare to play with my guests casually. If something goes wrong, see me not tidy up. You two!"
Uncle Jiu on the side also looked a little ugly.
After all, it was his disciple who was ashamed, and he lost face in front of his junior...
"Brother, I'm really embarrassed this time."
"Forget it."
Seeing that Jiu Shu took the initiative to apologize, the four-eyed Daochang's expression slightly improved. He looked at Qiu Sheng and Wencai, who were kneeling on the ground with a bluish and blue complexion. He shook his head and said, "If I didn't agree to the younger brother, I would visit him in person. The apprenticeship ceremony, I am going to leave here tonight."
Hearing this, Jiu Shu felt even more uncomfortable, remembering what Ye Chen had said during the day, and gave his two apprentices a fierce look.
"Next time, I won't be too lazy to collect the dead bodies for you two as a teacher!"
You know, that's a zombie...
Although it is only the most common walking corpse, if something really goes wrong, or if he and Simu Daochang are two steps late, then Wencai and Qiusheng's lives cannot be kept!
"Master, we know we were wrong."
Seeing that Jiu Shu and Simu Daochang were angry, Wencai and Qiusheng had no choice but to honestly admit their mistakes even if they were ignorant.
…………
No words for a night.
On the second day, Ye Chen came to Yizhuang from Renjia Town. He saw the literary talent who was guarding the door. His expression was sluggish, and his face was a little blue. He curiously said: "What's wrong, what happened last night?"
"Well..."
Wencai scratched his head when he heard this, but he did not speak.
However, this expression has already explained a lot of problems, Ye Chen smiled, did not continue to ask, stepped into the lobby.
"Brother, this is my little apprenticeship."
At this moment, Uncle Jiu was busy in front of the Sanqing Patriarch Statue. Hearing Ye Chen's words, he couldn't help but put down his hands and accepted Ye Chen's apprenticeship ceremony. He was taken aback.
"This... is too expensive?"
"Maybe, everyone will be the same brothers in the future, a little gift, talk about your heart."
After returning home, Ye Chen found out that his current identity was one of the richest in Renjia Town.
Thinking of Yizhuang's dilapidated appearance, he ordered the housekeeper to prepare a generous apprenticeship.
Judging from Jiu Shu's expression, this apprenticeship... is indeed the right one.
After having a not-so-rich breakfast in Yizhuang, Jiu Shu also started busy apprenticeship ceremony.
This apprenticeship ceremony may seem simple, but there are many ways to do it.
The preparation work alone requires altars, tributes, incense candles, yellow paper, etc., and a big rooster as a sacrifice.
Fortunately, Jiu Shu had prepared these things in advance.
after that……
The apprenticeship ceremony officially began.
Under the gaze of everyone, I saw Jiu Shu put on a new tuft of light yellow Taoist robe, his face solemnly came to the altar, cleans his hands, burned incense, bowed down...
After a series of actions, the rooster was slaughtered, the essence and blood in the comb was dripped into a bowl of clear water, and then a piece of yellow paper was picked up, mixed with cinnabar, and the pen was taken away in an instant. In time, a piece of talisman paper was drawn.
"bump."
The yellow paper fell into the bowl, ignited immediately, and quickly burned into ashes.
"Drink it."
The bowl of water mixed with cockscomb blood and talisman paper was handed to Ye Chen. The latter hesitated for a while, then took the bowl of talisman water and drank it.
Fu Shui entered his abdomen, the discomfort he imagined did not appear, but there was a warm feeling.
The faint feeling of coldness that had been caused by being almost confused by the cat demon yesterday disappeared without a trace when Ye Chen drank it with the water.
Then, under the sign of Uncle Ji.
Ye Chen first knelt down to one of the tablets, knocked down three times, and poured a cup of tea on the ground.
"Well, Junior Brother, now you have officially become my 22nd generation disciple of the Northern School of Maoshan."
As if seeing the doubts in Ye Chen’s eyes, Jiu Shu began to introduce:
Our Maoshan School has a long history. It was passed down from the Lingbao School in Shangqing, founded by the San Mao brothers, and then divided into two religions in the north and south. Hezao Mountain is also the three major Taoist Fulu Schools, known as the Sanshan Fulu, and our division belongs to the Maoshan Northern School."
"That's it."
Ye Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Junior Brother!"
I saw Jiu Shu's face suddenly grim, and he said: "Every disciple of Maoshan, one precept deceives the master and destroys the ancestor; the second precepts are the same, and the third precepts use Taoism indiscriminately to harm the world!"
"Do you... understand?"
"understood!"
"Very well, get up."
Lifting Ye Chen from the ground, Jiu Shu turned his head and looked at Wencai and Qiusheng who were watching the ceremony. He said lightly: "Wencai, Qiusheng, this is your little uncle. You shouldn't be rude in the future, do you understand? "
"I have seen the little uncle."
"Hello."
Ye Chen nodded slightly, but he didn't care much about them.
Just like the excuses he said before, these two disciples of Uncle Jiu really did not succeed in success.
Literary and honest, a little timid, but kind.
As for Qiusheng, he is a little clever.
But fortunately, they are still obedient and not too bad-hearted, but they are still good people.
"Well, now that the junior apprentice has completed the apprenticeship ceremony, then I should also go..."
The four-eyed Taoist on the side spoke.
"Brother, I will give it to you."
At this time, Ye Chen had already passed the mouth of the Jiushu and knew what had happened last night, so naturally he wouldn't speak to discourage the four-eyed Daoist.
"Junior brother."
After sending away the four-eyed Taoist chief, Jiu Shu called Ye Chen into his room again, took out a yellowed ancient book, and said: "Before Master died, he didn't leave too much for us. A lot of things, this classic book that records the Maoshan technique of this school is given to you. I hope you can practice harder."
"In addition, brother here will give you a coin sword."
"Thank you brother."
After apprenticeship, Ye Chen also received rewards from the system. He didn't take these things from Jiu Shu very seriously.
But he also knows that this kind of meeting ceremony is also a necessary process.
What's more, the apprenticeship he gave to Jiu Shu earlier was also quite generous, which was tantamount to courtesy.
