A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 282
The martial arts hall on the second floor of the martial arts hall.

Lin Shuwu, who was dressed in a Tang suit with black background and gold patterns, was sitting on the top chair, playing with two Wenwan walnuts with strange patterns in his powerful palms. On the left and right were the acting curator Lin Mingzhou and his personal disciple Lin Yi.

About two or three steps apart, two rows of solid wooden chairs stretched along the left and right sides of Lin Shuwu, and they were filled with older martial artists who came from major martial arts gyms across the United States to be witnesses, as well as their disciples, relatives and friends.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the 15-year-old boy in the center of the martial arts hall.

Most of the people in the hall are warriors of the ocean lineage who have practiced martial arts since childhood. Even the laziest young people have at least reached the stage of refining and transforming energy. So many warriors gather their eyes at one place, and the oppressive force can be overwhelming. It is not something ordinary people can bear.

If an ordinary person was stared at like this, he might not even be able to speak.

But Zheng Shangqi did not have the slightest stage fright.

He stood solemnly in the center of the Martial Arts Hall, reciting aloud the invitation letter in his hand.

At the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall, Lin Keheng who sneaked in hid behind the Panlong Pillar, curled his lips a little bored, then poked his little head out from behind the pillar, his sly eyes began to turn around in the Martial Arts Hall.

There's nothing interesting about the teacher apprentice post, especially the one in Zheng Shangqi's hand - he originally wrote it for Zheng Shangqi.

Compared with the boring apprenticeship ceremony, Lin Keheng is more interested in the characters around him that he has never seen before.

For example, on the other side of the pillar, the old man with gray eyebrows and beard, the middle-aged man who has been playing with two iron balls, the old woman with a dry face on crutches, the bearded man in a suit and leather gloves... Eh , and a brown-haired little boy standing behind the elder, the long sword he was carrying was actually taller than himself!
Lin Keheng looked at the guests in the field with some rapt attention.

Although he had seen many apprenticeship ceremonies in the martial arts hall before, it was the first time that it was so solemn like this.

I heard that the last apprenticeship ceremony that brought together so many seniors was the time when my junior uncle apprenticed to a teacher, but he was only two years old at that time, so he didn't have any relevant memories at all.

This made Lin Keheng a little regretful.

Looking past Zheng Shangqi who was still reciting the teacher's invitation, Lin Keheng looked at Lin Shuwu who was at the top again.

He always felt that today's grandpa seemed a little different from usual.

After careful observation, Lin Keheng suddenly discovered that his grandfather's attire was indeed a little different from usual. There was a necklace of red string and gold beads on his neck, a bracelet of fire glass on his left wrist, and two more bracelets on his waist. There is a red and yellow ball accessory, and there are two huge walnuts in his hand.

I don't remember grandpa having the habit of playing with walnuts!
Lin Keheng looked at Lin Shuwu strangely, and then looked behind Lin Shuwu.

"what?"

Lin Keheng slightly opened his eyes wide.

He found that behind the grand teacher's chair, on the altar table that was placed close to the wall, there were actually three Tang swords placed horizontally that increased in length from top to bottom...

Wasn't there only one handle before?

Lin Keheng blinked in doubt.

After thinking for a while, he planned to sneak over to have a look.

But just when he took one foot, a very strong gaze suddenly cast on him. Lin Keheng was startled, and quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the gaze, and immediately saw Lin Yi's half-smile face.

It was discovered!

Lin Keheng quickly showed an innocent and harmless smile, and retreated behind the pillar.

Lin Yi curled his lips and turned his gaze back again.

On the seat two steps away from him, the old man with white hair and white beard chuckled, and his voice was transmitted to Lin Yi: "Your nephew looks a bit naughty!"

Lin Yi smiled: "I made you laugh."

The white-haired old man smiled and shook his head: "Hey, what is the elder talking about? For warriors of my generation, being more lively and active is not a good thing?"

"makes sense."

Lin Yi smiled slightly and said nothing more.

At this time, Zheng Shangqi in the center of the venue had finished reading the teacher's invitation card. He strode up to Lin Shuwu, knelt down without hesitation, and handed the teacher's invitation card to the master.

Lin Shuwu smiled and accepted the apprentice invitation.

Lin Yi and Lin Mingzhou couldn't help showing smiles on their faces, and there was a burst of warm applause in the Martial Arts Hall, and seniors from the ocean lineage from all over the United States offered their congratulations and blessings one after another.

After completing this step, it means that Lin Shuwu has accepted this disciple.

The rest is the steps of offering tea to the disciples and giving gifts to each other.

Zheng Shangqi respectfully offered tea to Lin Shuwu, Lin Mingzhou and Lin Yi. After drinking this cup of tea, these three people would become his respected father, majestic elder brother, and close family members who shared weal and woe.

As for the apprenticeship ceremony...

The down-and-out Zheng Shangqi naturally didn't have anything valuable on him as a gift for his teacher, so he could only give the jade pendant left by his father to his master.

Of course, Lin Yi knew very well that with his master's temperament, he would definitely return this jade pendant to Zheng Shangqi's fiancée as a token or gift from the elders when Zheng Shangqi got married.

After performing three kowtows, Lin Shuwu pulled Zheng Shangqi up, said some words of encouragement with a smile on his face, and then gave Zheng Shangqi the prepared training clothes, "Disciple Rules" and other gifts in return.

All the guests in the hall stood up to congratulate, and instructed their disciples to take out the gifts they had prepared earlier.

Lin Shuwu took this newly recruited disciple and thanked everyone for their gifts and congratulations.

After finishing all this, Zheng Shangqi came to Lin Yi.

There is no way, Lin Yi's identity is too complicated. In addition to being Zheng Shangqi's brother in name and master in essence, he is also the No. 13 elder of the Taoist sect, and the only elder of the Yuanyang lineage.

Purely in terms of status, Lin Yi is the one with the highest status among everyone present.

If Lin Shuwu didn't have the title of master Lin Yi, the one sitting at the top would be Lin Yi, the Taoist elder.

"Brother!"

Zheng Shangqi bowed solemnly.

Lin Yi looked at the young man in front of him with a smile on his face, raised his right arm lightly, retracted and shot towards the wall, and the medium-sized Tang sword that was originally placed on the altar table in the back flew into his hand.

All the guests in the audience suddenly became a little commotion.

Although some of them can create suction with the help of internal breath and skin pores, Lin Yi's understatement and meticulous stunning methods are completely beyond the reach.

Lin Yi glanced lightly at the guests in the hall, and all the guests immediately silenced.

Zheng Shangqi saw these in his eyes, and there was a hint of excitement and yearning in his heart.

Lin Yi smiled slightly, and handed the long sword in his hand to Zheng Shangqi: "After today, you and I will be brothers from the same school. This sword is called Unchanging. I made it by myself. I will give it to you today. I hope you will never change your resolve in the future." , Wu Yun is prosperous."

"Thank you, brother!"

Zheng Shangqi took the long sword respectfully.

Lin Shuwu took the lead in applauding with a smile, and everyone in the hall also applauded with smiles on their faces, congratulating this young boy for being recognized by Lin Yi.

Looking at those seemingly sincere old guys around, the corner of Lin Shuwu's mouth twitched.

These people still don't know what Lin Yi's "hand-made" means.

But don't worry, they will find out soon!
