People in Gaowu, starting from infancy, God rewards hard work

With a blink of an eye, a day has passed.

Tianquan Peak, the Wanfa Sect Hall was filled with fragrant mist.

The Wanfa Sect, which was usually quiet and peaceful, became lively.

Chen Zixuan, wearing the blue robe of a disciple of Tianquan Peak, stood there like a puppet, with a rather stiff smile on his face.

"This is your master's eldest disciple, Qiao Boxue."

"Senior Brother Boxue."

"This is you..."

...

Chen Zixuan didn't remember many people after getting to know them in a hurry.

Seeing that all the participants in the ceremony had arrived, Huang Tianbao, the host of today, stood up.

Originally, this job should have been done by Li Chenglong's disciples, but Li Chenglong only accepted Alice as a disciple before Chen Zixuan.

As a foreigner, and a girl, it was not very suitable.

"Good afternoon, dear fellow apprentices and nephews!"

"In this beautiful season of cool autumn and sweet osmanthus fragrance, we gather together to witness this solemn and sacred moment - the ceremony of Chen Zixuan becoming Li Chenglong's apprentice."

"The ancients said: The beginning of etiquette is to straighten the body, unify the color, and follow the words. Today, we follow the ancient etiquette and join in the grand event with a pious heart."

"First, please ask the disciple Chen Zixuan to dress properly and follow the etiquette."

After Huang Tianbao finished speaking, Qiao Boxue came to Chen Zixuan with a red tray in his hand.

A palm-sized jade plaque was placed on the red tray, and the jade plaque was engraved with intricate patterns.

Chen Zixuan already knew the process of the ceremony, and there was no need to remind him too much at this time.

Chen Zixuan reached out and held the jade plaque in his hand.

"Next, please invite Master Li Chenglong to enter. Master is the beacon of knowledge and the model of morality. Please perform the ritual of washing to cleanse your body and mind and prepare to impart wisdom and virtue."

Li Chenglong also dressed up today, wearing a yellow robe that looked solemn and serious.

At this time, a disciple whose name Chen Zixuan had forgotten walked up to Li Chenglong with a red tray in both hands.

On the red tray, there was a gold-painted basin filled with clear water, a white towel, and a branch of an unknown tree.

Li Chenglong picked up the green branch and put it into the gold-painted basin, then picked it up and tapped it in the air a few times.

Then, Li Chenglong put down the branch, put his hand into the gold-painted basin, rubbed it simply, and gestured.

"Burning incense to show respect for heaven and earth, ancestors, and the teacher's way."

At this time, Huang Tianbao's voice sounded in time.

After wiping his hands clean with a white towel, Li Chenglong walked to the statue of the ancestor.

Li Chenglong picked up the sandalwood and turned his wrist, and the sandalwood was already lit.

Three sandalwood sticks were inserted into the incense burner, and the green incense mist rose.

"Please take a seat, Master Li Chenglong, and your disciple Chen Zixuan will pay three bows to the ancestor!"

Chen Zixuan followed the instructions and walked to Li Chenglong. A yellow straw mat was placed in front of Chen Zixuan.

"One bow: The ancestor of all laws, whose virtue is equal to heaven and earth."

"Thank you, ancestor, for creating the law and preaching, so that the younger generation of disciples can step into the martial arts, report the virtue of heaven, and nourish themselves."

The next second after Huang Tianbao's voice fell, Chen Zixuan clasped his hands together and bowed eleven times, kneeled, and kowtowed.

"Second bow: Master, your teaching is as good as a lifelong grace."

"Thank you for your profound knowledge and noble teacher ethics, and for setting an example for your disciples to learn from."

Chen Zixuan put his hands together again and bowed eleven times, kneeled once, and kowtowed once.

"Third bow: Study hard and practice diligently, and cultivate your body and morality."

"I hope that under the guidance of Master, I can rise to the occasion, cultivate my character, and become a person of virtue and talent."

Chen Zixuan put his hands together again and bowed eleven times, kneeled once, and kowtowed once.

After the ceremony, Chen Zixuan handed the jade tablet in his hand to Li Chenglong in front of him with both hands.

"Respected Master Li Chenglong: I, Chen Zixuan, have long admired your talent, your way of doing things, and your personality. You are a role model for the world."

"I am proud of you and would like to follow your example. I am your disciple. I am grateful to you for accepting me as your disciple."

"Follow your teachings, unite with your peers, study hard, pass on the essence of martial arts, and promote the reputation of the Seven Stars! I sincerely send you my name card and respectfully pay my respects to you!"

As soon as Chen Zixuan finished speaking, Li Chenglong quickly took the jade card from Chen Zixuan's hand.

As if he was afraid of something going wrong.

"Please offer tea to your teacher. Nothing is more important than respecting your teacher. I offer you tea to thank you for your teachings."

The next moment, Huang Tianbao's voice sounded again.

Chen Zixuan, who was still kneeling on the ground, took the jade card.The blue and white tea cup beside him, and then handed it to Li Chenglong with both hands.

Li Chenglong took the blue and white tea cup, did not say anything to teach, but drank the tea directly.

"Next is the gift-giving session, please students present gifts with profound meanings to teachers."

Chen Zixuan took the six gifts of the bundle of repair and handed them to Li Chenglong.

Li Chenglong took the bundle of repair and put it aside.

"Please return the gift to the disciple."

Huang Tianbao's voice fell, and Li Chenglong picked up the ruler tied with a red silk rope beside him.

"One knock on the head, admonish the disciple to be clear-headed and study hard."

Li Chenglong gently tapped Chen Zixuan's head with the ruler in his hand.

"Two knocks on the shoulder, meaning to shoulder the heavy responsibility and bravely shoulder the heavy burden for the inheritance of the sect."

Li Chenglong gently placed the ruler in his hand on Chen Zixuan's shoulder.

"Knock three times, admonish the disciple to have a sense of propriety in dealing with others and be strict with oneself."

Li Chenglong stood up and tapped Chen Zixuan's back with the ruler in his hand.

"Please use cinnabar to awaken the disciple's spirit."

"Put this mark of spirit and mind on the center of the eyebrows, understand yourself, understand your heart, understand the world, and follow the natural way."

Li Chenglong took the gold-painted brush from someone else, and then gently put a vermilion mark on the center of Chen Zixuan's eyebrows.

"The ceremony is over!"

Huang Tianbao's voice sounded on time.

Afterwards, there was a warm applause and endless congratulations all around.

"Zixuan, nephew, this is a gift from the master uncle."

Master uncle Song Gongyuan walked to Chen Zixuan first, and then handed him a golden gift box.

"Thank you, Master."

After receiving a look from Li Chenglong, Chen Zixuan took the golden long gift box with both hands.

"Junior Brother Zixuan, this is the gift I prepared for you."

Then, Second Master Lin Hu stepped forward and handed over a large square wooden box.

"Hold it warm."

Even though he was mentally prepared, Chen Zixuan almost couldn't hold the large wooden box.

Seeing this, Li Chenglong on the side immediately reached out to help take the large wooden box.

"Second Senior Brother, what's in it? Why is it so heavy?"

Lin Hu didn't tell Li Chenglong in advance, so he didn't know what was inside.

Hearing this, Lin Hu smiled slightly.

"Star Pattern Steel!"
