old grace
Chapter 89
After the first seven days, Shu Hanyun's funeral was still going on, but Jianshan Pavilion was no longer the social center of the Hanjiang Sword Sect.
More and more aristocratic families rushed to Hanshan, and Gein Xie Qinghe's succession ceremony was imminent.There are more and more guests in the guest hall. Most of the headmen, elders and core disciples have received invitations, and they are specially entertained by Shangguan Shiyi or Xie Qinghe. Fishing in Oolong Lake this morning and Feiyu Rock in the evening to enjoy the scenery, near the Hall of Patriarchs The mourning cloth has been taken off, and the lanterns and festoons have begun.
The places of interest and historical sites in Hanshan are full of young people who go to pay homage to the ancient and modern times, visit and pay their respects, and laughter is everywhere.
Fu Chuan was still guarding the Jianshan Pavilion obediently, but was dragged out by Chen Yiwei, and said: "Tomorrow is the succession ceremony of the elder brother, and your initiation ceremony is also arranged in the afternoon. What are you still guarding here?"
"Don't I have to look at the ever-burning lamp of the second senior brother?" Fu Chuan was full of displeasure.
He naturally knew that Shu Hanyun hadn't really died, but outsiders didn't know this!The body of the second senior brother is still at the Jianshan Pavilion, and the group of people outside don't even bother to come to offer incense, and they run around up and down the mountain every day. Going to catch fish, almost drowned in it, scaring the Hanjiang Sword Sect to send dozens of disciples to touch people in the water...
Chen Yiwei asked: "I will let people watch here. The first seven have passed, and the dead must give way to the living."
Fu Chuan looked back at the deserted mourning hall, and knew that what Chen Yiwei said was right.
If it was just for Shu Hanyun's funeral, it would be impossible to gather the heads of the six famous sects here, and they didn't come to Hanshan because of Shu Hanyun.The reason why funerals and happy events are arranged so densely is because it is impossible to delay the big bosses from all walks of life in Hanshan for too long—they are all bigwigs from one party, and they bring the elders to come out in full force. Can they still live in Hanshan for three to five months? ?
Seeing the deacons Hu Lei and Zhao Haoran coming to take over the funeral arrangements for Jianshan Pavilion, Fu Chuan felt a little relieved.
Hu Lei and Zhao Haoran are elite disciples with great power in the Outer Sect. They came directly to Jianshan Pavilion to take turns to guard. At least Chen Yiwei did not delay Shu Hanyun's funeral on purpose.
"Then what am I going to do now?" Fu Chuan was also at a loss.He was in charge of the funeral these days, and he didn't worry about the succession ceremony or the initiation ceremony.
Chen Yiwei pulled him out: "You have a lot to do. Fortunately, you don't need to do it yourself. You just need to send someone out."
Shi Qin reminded: "Little brother has already moved to the observatory."
"I know. I sent someone to wait at the star observatory. It just so happens that the senior brother wants to try the Taoist robe he will wear tomorrow." Chen Yiwei was very kind.
His attitude towards Shi Qin even seemed a little winsome.
When Yan Buqie and Shi Qin went down the mountain, Chen Yiwei was also young and didn't know him at all.
All I know is that the master once wanted to recruit him into the inner sect, and this person was valued by the elder brother, so he was arranged to be a servant next to the younger brother.
If Li Nanfeng was still standing, Chen Yiwei might still have some sense of crisis for the sudden appearance of Shi Qin.Now Li Nanfeng is banned from Sandalwood Xiaozhu, and he is about to be assigned to Dragon City - for the Hanjiang Sword Sect, going to Dragon City is tantamount to being completely far away from the core, and they can't get involved in major affairs within the sect - Li Nanfeng After falling down, Chen Yiwei suddenly fell into the situation of being in charge of the outer door alone.
Needless to say, there are deeper worries, and that time has not yet come.Just this endless mess of things broke Chen Yiwei.
If someone can come out to distribute power at this time...is that power distribution?It is clearly life-saving!
Chen Yiyi wished he could give Shi Qin most of his work.
Nai Shiqin was even more discreet and turned a deaf ear, these days he only followed Fu Chuan and was not interested in anything else.Fu Chuan's side was not busy all the time, Chen Yiwei tried a few times, and wanted to "borrow" Shi Qin for a while, but he couldn't!
When Fu Chuan and the others returned to the observatory, Xie Qinghe was not at home, and accompanied the headmen to drink tea in the middle of the mountain.
Fu Chuan looked at the sky, he only served dinner at noon, he didn't let him rest in the middle of the afternoon, and he wanted to drink tea?You really think my elder brother is iron-clad!
"Eldest senior brother has been living in seclusion these years, and the heads of the sect must miss him a lot." Chen Yiwei said vaguely.
Standing in front of the porch, Fu Chuan looked at the distant mountains and the vast cold river. In just a few days, he felt a lot of emotions.
Human feelings are cold and warm, nothing more than that.
In the past few days, the six major sect masters have all come together. It is a routine ritual for Shangguan Shiyi to entertain the reception banquet, and he will not accompany him for three meals a day.
In the past, when you were an official, you should live in seclusion in the Feixian Cottage. This group of people came to worship the mountain just to see each other more, and it was a great honor to drink a cup of tea in the Feixian Cottage.Now all the posts are coming to the Star Observation Tower, whether it is the top six sects known as first-class sects, or other second- and third-tier patriarchs, they all want to come to the Star Observation Tower to pay a visit to Xie Qinghe.
Shangguan Shiyi has not officially abdicated yet, and Xie Qinghe will take over as head until tomorrow. The atmosphere in the whole Hanshan is completely different.
Chen Yiwei arranged for someone to shave Fu Chuan's face, manicure his nails, and try on the priest's robes, but he left in a hurry.
Fu Chuan put on the Taoist robe, looked at himself in the mirror, and was full of anticipation in his heart.
I don't know what kind of Dao name Master will give me?The elder brother is called Qing He, but I can also be called Bai He!Although the Dao names of the second senior brother, the third senior brother, and the youngest senior brother are not related to cranes...but, senior brother and I are both direct disciples of the head of the sect, a big crane and a small crane, a nest of cranes, is not bad...
"Senior brother Shiqin, tell me, will master let me rank with senior brother or something?" Fu Chuan couldn't help asking.
Shi Qin smiled, and said: "I seem to have heard from the senior brother that the Daoist Master asked the senior brother to give you a Dao name. Since the Master Master gave your name to you, the Dao name will be given to the senior brother."
Fu Chuan immediately looked forward to it even more: "Really? Senior brother give me the Dao name?"
After trying on the Taoist robe, another disciple from the outer sect came to invite him: "Please, brother, go to the Patriarch Hall to rehearse the succession ceremony tomorrow."
Fu Chuan asked strangely: "The succession ceremony?"
"Yes. The senior brother asked the junior senior brother to be the sword bearer, and tomorrow the junior senior brother will be accompanied by the sword all the way." The outer disciple explained.
Fu Chuan turned over and jumped out from the wooden corridor. While turning over, he picked up his clogs, stepped on the clogs as he walked forward, and urged: "Go, go! Why did you tell me at this time?"
The outer disciple replied: "The elder brother said, the younger brother is smart and has a good memory, so it's just a matter of walking once in a while, no need to bother."
Fu Chuan had already walked far away, and couldn't help urging: "Go faster."
■
When Xie Qinghe returned to the observatory, it was already midnight.
The whole day is spent drinking tea and chatting. Lunch and dinner are arranged banquets, and guests in the guest hall must be well entertained.The rest of the time, it is a small tea talk interspersed with each other to connect emotions.
When Shangguan Shiyi suddenly announced his abdication, the whole Jianghu Baidao was shocked and caught off guard.
As early as 16 years ago, the whole world was waiting for Shangguan Shiyi to fall.Unexpectedly, Shangguan Shiyi not only did not decay and die quickly, but lived harder and harder, and seemed to have completely broken through the lifespan of three Jiazi.Now no one knows how long he can live.
——Just like Xiaohezhuang, which is the closest to Hanshan Mountain.
As early as 20 years ago, Xiao He Zhuang felt that Shangguan Shiyi was going to die, and secretly had delusional thoughts, taking advantage of natural disasters to buy fertile land at a low price.
It was Xie Qinghe who went down the mountain for a trip, and Xiaohezhuang calmed down a lot. He treated the tenant farmers honestly and kindly, and did not dare to bully them.If so, Shangguan Shiyi passed by Xiaohezhuang when he was going down the mountain to slay demons. After learning about this, he also made a gunshot wound on Xiaohezhuang, scaring the second owner of the village, Lu Peng, to go to Hanshan with gifts and kowtow to apologize.
Eight years ago, Lu Xiao, the owner of Xiaohezhuang, died.Three years ago, the second villa owner Lu Peng also died.
Now the owner of Xiaohe Village is Lu Xiao's son Lu Baishan.The older generation who used to count on the day of Shangguan Shiyi's fall are all dead, isn't Shangguan Shiyi still alive and well?
Shangguan should be old and strong, and Fu Chuan, who is the head disciple, is too young and immature. People in the world always think that the succession of the throne will take at least ten or twenty years, right?When I first became an official, it was appropriate to take over as the head of the family, and I was almost 20 years old.
Unexpectedly, Xie Qinghe, who had disappeared for many years, suddenly appeared!
These years Xie Qinghe has completely disappeared, no one knows where he went or what he did.
In other words, no one knows about his recent situation. No one knows whether the temperament and thoughts of this once high-spirited and reckless disciple of the Hanjiang Sword Sect have changed in the past 16 years. Under his leadership, will the Hanjiang Sword Sect change?
This is not just a matter of coming to watch the ceremony and giving gifts, nor is it a carnival of gathering people to feast.
For example, Shangguan Shiyi never cared about worldly affairs, and various factions secretly formed a tacit understanding with the underworld green forest, and played some tricks to raise the bandits' self-respect, so that wealthy businessmen and even the government had to ask their own sects for help and asylum, so as to increase their status and earn money. The Hanjiang Sword Sect doesn't care about getting rewards.
Xie Qinghe's attitude towards this is different.
If it is said that one size fits all, all the white ways are white and pure, then it is naturally impossible.Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.
What Xie Qinghe meant was that in the future, the Hanjiang Sword Sect would regularly send outside disciples to travel the rivers and lakes.
What?
Seeing injustice on the road, draw a knife to help.
He also had a tacit understanding with Fairy Bai of Zizhu Villa. Zizhu Villa would send younger disciples to travel the rivers and lakes with the Hanjiang Sword Sect. They said it was an experience for young disciples, but secretly who didn't understand what was going on?
The lethality of the young disciples of the Hanjiang Sword Sect is comparable to that of the elders of ordinary sects!Isn't it the tiger out of the cage? !
Moreover, sending a group of young disciples out to "walk the streets and fight for righteousness" is no different from imperial envoys.
All sects and sects are taking the opportunity to figure out Xie Qinghe's ways, and Xie Qinghe has not covered up at all, showing his true face openly: Yes, I used to pretend, when my master was in power, I would definitely listen to him.Now that I'm in charge, the rules are different.
After the outside affairs are settled, Xie Qinghe still remembers to care about his little junior brother at home.
At this time, the observatory hadn't stopped yet, the porch was full of lights, and Fu Chuan was holding a sword, asking Yun Chao and Shi Qin to accompany him to practice.
Shi Qin hung a piece of paper on his face with the word "Master" written on it, and sat at the end of the porch.On Yun Chao's face was a vividly painted head portrait, exactly like Xie Qinghe.Fu Chuan followed Yun Chao step by step, with a very serious attitude.
"It's so late, why don't you rest?" Xie Qinghe asked.
Fu Chuan was too focused, and only then did he realize that Xie Qinghe had returned, and said embarrassedly: "I just found out that tomorrow I will be the sword bearer for the senior brother. Lichen has already been laid over the Patriarch Hall, and the senior brothers are cleaning it. I'll be back to practice..."
Xie Qinghe didn't pay much attention to this, and said: "There is no need to be too rigid, the inheritance is important, and the ceremonies are all for outsiders to see."
He took off the paper skin from Yun Chao's face, and found that he painted himself pretty well, so he couldn't help smiling: "Who drew it?"
"Me." Fu Chuan put the piece of paper in his hand, and took a few more glances, "Elder brother's appearance and demeanor are drawn by the heavens, and my pen and ink are not as good as they are born in case."
"Little sycophant." Xie Qinghe nodded to Shiqin, signaling him and Yun Chao to take it easy, and took Fu Chuan back, "Take a rest."
Fu Chuan followed him at a trot, and asked, "Eldest senior brother, what dao name do you plan to give me?"
Xie Qinghe was taken aback by the question, and asked back, "What kind of dao name do you want?"
Fu Chuan's house only has a bedroom and a study room, and they have to share the hot water in Xie Qinghe's kitchen to wash and freshen up. The two entered the living room first, and Fu Chuan entered the door first to light up the lights, and arranged a couch for Xie Qinghe to rest on.Smelling that Xie Qinghe still smelled of alcohol, Fu Chuan brought over the prepared hangover tea and said, "I'll prepare hot water for bathing for senior brother first."
Xie Qinghe rested on the couch.
I have been idle for more than ten years, and there are countless people talking in my ears these days, and my ears are always buzzing when I am idle.
"Little brother, can you scoop it up for me..."
Before he finished speaking, Fu Chuan had already come out with a footbath, he said with a smile, "Let's soak your feet first. Here you go."
Xie Qinghe was really consoling.The younger brother is so filial and sensible, it is not in vain for the old father to spare no effort to help him find a marriage partner.After soaking his feet in the warm water basin, Fu Chuan sat on the footrest and rubbed his calves from time to time.Xie Qinghe told him: "I have made an agreement with Fairy Bai of Zizhu Mountain Villa. From now on, we will set a date every year and arrange some young disciples to go down the mountain to experience..."
In other words, let Fu Chuan take the children from Zizhu Villa to play at public expense and cultivate their relationship.
Fu Chuan was not as happy as he imagined.
Xie Qinghe was surprised: "Don't you want to go out with the kids?"
Said to let Fu Chuan go out to play, but Xie Qinghe did have the idea of purging Baidao, it was an arrangement that killed two birds with one stone.It's just that the disciples of the outer sect are "imperial envoys" outside, how can there be a deterrent effect of Fu Chuan walking down the mountain?Fu Chuan has been the head disciple for 16 years, so of course he understands this truth.
"No. Eldest brother arranged for me to go down the mountain, so I naturally take orders." Fu Chuan didn't want to go down the mountain, but just "followed orders".
This attitude is obviously wrong.If it was someone else, Xie Qinghe might not ask, but Fu Chuan is different.
"Did you really quarrel with the children?" Xie Qinghe comforted him, "It's not just Zizhu Villa. In the future, the other five major sects, the Su family, the An family, and other famous families should all send disciples of the younger generation to accompany them. It doesn't have to be all Get together, it must be a good time to get together, and then act separately."
Xie Qinghe thought deeply about Fu Chuan: "You can make more friends. As long as you have the same temperament, family background is not a problem."
——Children who don't like Zizhu Villa, and Pangu Villa, under the Yunhuang sect...the world is big.
Fu Chuan didn't want senior brother to worry about it, so he nodded and said, "I see."
Xie Qinghe saw him sitting on the footrest, reaching out to play with the water in the basin, looking limp.This child has been like this since he came back from the guest house that day.A moment of joy, a moment of loneliness, it seems that there are many things on my mind.But he refused to tell himself.
"Do you think that senior brother is going to be the head of the sect, so he can't talk to senior senior brother about many things?" Xie Qinghe asked.
Fu Chuan shook his head: "No. I'm fine."
Xie Qinghe couldn't force him to speak, so he had to change the topic and asked: "I just said about the name. Do you have any thoughts? If you have a favorite name, or use it to express your ambition, tell me now. Tomorrow The entrance ceremony should be arranged."
Fu Chuan leaned his back on the couch and said, "I just want to know what kind of Dao name the senior brother will give me. Master bestowed the name Qinghe on the elder brother, hoping that the senior brother will fly up to the clouds like a blue crane. That is the name of the master." Appreciation to senior brother. I want to know... what does senior brother think of me? I..."
He was also a little embarrassed as he spoke, "I have a little childish idea, I am embarrassed to say it now, I will tell the big brother tomorrow."
Xie Qinghe patted his head and said: "I have expectations for you too. You must know that the Dao name I gave you is a wish, a congratulation, and an affirmation of you. It is not a request. Remember, it is not a request. "
Instead, Fu Chuan became nervous: "Ah? Oh, okay, I remember. But... what is it?"
Xie Qinghe thought for a while and said, "Do you really want to know now?"
Fu Chuan asked carefully: "Does it sound good? Is it as immortal as the Dao name of the elder brother?"
This turned Xie Qinghe's question upside down. Just as he was about to tell him directly, Fu Chuan immediately shook his hand: "Don't say it! Tell me tomorrow! I think it's better to have some expectations and surprises!"
Xie Qinghe choked and couldn't laugh or cry: "Do you want to know?"
"In no mood!"
■
This was the first time Fuchuan lived in the wooden house after it was built.
The house was built by the senior brother himself, but the bed is his own. The bedding is also old and clean, and it smells of the incense that the senior brother often uses, just like sleeping in the senior brother's house. same in...
Fu Chuan tossed and turned wrapped in the quilt, unable to fall asleep no matter what.
He had inquired, Xie Qinghe hadn't been with Bai Ruyi these two days, maybe it was because there were too many people to meet and he was too busy?The marriage has not yet made a name for itself, and I received an order to go down the mountain to practice... Just like last time, I will go out for three to five months.
It's not that Fu Chuan doesn't like Yan Shaoying, or that he doesn't want to play with Yan Baoer and Hua Qing, or that he doesn't want to be too far away from the elder brother.
If I can bring my elder brother together...
Fu Chuan still misses the old days.Even if there is only one carriage, there is no room to sleep, you can only eat batter on the road, and you often sleep in the open... But with the senior brother, it seems that even the most boring things are interesting.
However, senior brother will soon be the head of the sect, how could it be possible to drive the carriage with him around like before?
That's it.
As long as people are alive, there will be all kinds of inexplicable partings.
Fu Chuan sighed.
He sat up suddenly from the bed, crackling in his head.
——Why do I always want to follow Eldest Brother?Why don't you want to separate from big brother?
Mingming bid farewell to his mentor and went down the mountain to investigate his life experience and mother's vendetta. He didn't have the slightest nostalgia for everything on the mountain or anyone on the mountain.Why do I always feel fear now, and feel uncomfortable when I think of being separated from my elder brother?
What's wrong with me?
■
Fu Chuan stayed up all night.
The next day at Yinshi, Chen Yiwei came to knock on the door, saw the swollen eyes of the younger brother, and took out two boiled eggs: "Here!"
Fu Chuan first rubbed his face with cold water, and then rolled his eyes with the egg, Chen Yiwei had already knocked on Xie Qinghe's door without fear of death.When Xie Qinghe went out, he was neatly dressed in plain clothes and a plain bun.Chen Yiwei unfolded the taoist robe he brought, and helped Xie Qinghe to put it on.
"Brother, be careful, this material is easy to wrinkle, if you want to sit later, go to another room to rest, take off your robe before sitting!" Chen Yiwei couldn't help telling.
Fu Chuan immediately showed sympathy, the clothes are good-looking, but it is a pity that clothes wear people, not people.
Xie Qinghe glanced at Fu Chuan.
Fu Chuan immediately came to his senses.What Xie Qinghe is wearing now is the Taoist robe of the head disciple, the material is easy to wrinkle, this is intentional.Because the identity of the head disciple is trembling and restless, he has to be worthy of the clothes in daily life, sitting and sleeping-if he is not careful, things will go wrong.
Xie Qinghe only wears it for half a day today, and at the succession ceremony, he will take off this clothes and put on the magic robe of the real master.
But he, the head disciple, will be formally recorded in the genealogy after the entrance ceremony, and officially take office.
Now there are already rumors up and down Hanshan.
The head had been a disciple of the head for more than 30 years, and he succeeded to the head.The elder brother has also been the head disciple for more than 30 years, and succeeded him as the head.Only our little junior brother is unlucky. As the head disciple, he is afraid that he will be there for 200 years!
In other words, in the coming days, whenever there are important occasions or ceremonies in the Hanjiang Sword Sect, Fu Chuan will have to wear Xie Qinghe's clothes that he can't sit on today, and he has to worry about wrinkling the material when he walks... Who should sympathize with whom? ah?
Xie Qinghe's trouble today is only this wrinkle clothes, Fu Chuan is different, he has to change four sets of clothes today.
When going out, I wear a set of regular clothes, and when I go to the Patriarch Hall to be a sword bearer, I need to change into a robe. In the afternoon, I also wear plain clothes for the Taoist ceremony. During the ceremony, I will be given the clothes by the senior brother and put on a new Taoist robe... For this reason, Chen Blindly arranged someone to take care of his clothes and wait for him to change, Xie Qinghe still appointed Shiqin to be in charge of everything, absolutely no mistakes were allowed.
On this issue, Xie Qinghe seemed to have double standards.In his own succession ceremony, he said that inheritance is important, and etiquette is for outsiders to see.When it came to Fu Chuan's initiation ceremony, he demanded to be extremely cautious and absolutely not to make any mistakes.
Fu Chuan saw it in his eyes, but didn't say anything, and was very moved in his heart.
The reason is very simple.
With Xie Qinghe's status, even if something went wrong in the succession ceremony, no one would dare to laugh at him, let alone damage his majesty.
Fu Chuan is different.He is still a young child with no achievements, his status, and even the respect given by his comrades in the world, all come from the protection of his teacher.Once his initiation ceremony goes wrong, it means that the Hanjiang Sword Party may neglect him, which will directly affect his reputation.
Fu Chuan naturally has his own pride and confidence, but the senior brother values and loves himself, why not be moved and accept it?
In the past, most of what Fu Chuan got from the status of "head disciple" was responsibility, pressure and shackles. Only after Xie Qinghe returned to Hanshan, did he really feel how superior it is to be a head disciple.
"Big Brother."
"Ok?"
"Congratulations, Senior Brother."
Xie Qinghe smiled slightly: "Congratulations too."
When the time came to the Patriarch Hall, all the disciples and guests had already arrived.Fu Chuan went to change his clothes to become a sword bearer.
Xie Qinghe wore the easily wrinkled Taoist robe of the head disciple, and went to the other room to meet Shangguan Shiyi.Shangguan Shiyi wore a purple gold crown and a robe of the head of the sect that had been passed down for thousands of years. It was rare for him to sit upright on the throne.Xie Qinghe knelt down in front of the hall and smiled at Shangguan Shiyi.
"At this time you are also smiling!" Shangguan Shiyi reprimanded.
"Congratulations, master, for getting this excellent student. Inheriting the sect, I will live up to the great trust of the ancestors." Xie Qinghe pointed to himself.
Shangguan Shiyi couldn't help but laughed, and helped Xie Qinghe to get up: "Get up quickly."
"The ceremonies in the Patriarch's Hall that attract people to watch are all vain. The inheritance between you and my master and apprentice is serious." Shangguan Shiyi looked at Xie Qinghe who was standing beside him, his eyes were full of relief and pride, "In the early years you It's not that your cultivation level surpasses being a teacher is not a great achievement, but compared to your subsequent achievements, your cultivation base is the least important."
Xie Qinghe smiled and was about to be modest, Shangguan Shiyi raised his hand to stop him, and said: "What you did in Longcheng, outsiders know little, even if they know, they don't know how great an achievement it is. The founder of the Hanjiang Sword Sect From the beginning, I was rushing to sacrifice for the evil, the ancestors of the past generations, the ancestors, the number of people who died! I thought I would die to see the day when the evil was cleared and the world was clean, you did it."
"You said, congratulations for being a teacher. Having such a good apprentice, I have lived up to the great trust of the ancestors. It should be congratulations for being a teacher!"
Shangguan Shiyi took off the small seal hanging from his waist and wore it on Xie Qinghe himself.
"Inheritance of the Zongmen, all the common people in the world, the master entrusts you."
He touched Xie Qinghe's head, and thanked him sincerely: "My apprentice Qinghe, from now on, I have worked hard for you."
The moment the Hanjiang Seal was hung on his waist, Xie Qinghe felt an extremely strange change had taken place between his profound pond and the space. The profound pond was expanding crazily, and the space seemed to be upgraded again?There seems to be an extremely strange connection between Xuanchi, Space and Hanjiang Yin.
This process seems to be extremely long, but in fact it is very short.Xie Qinghe made a pretense, and everything was over.
click.
The cold river seal was actually cracked.
Shangguan Shiyi was stunned.This is... the seal of the sect master... that has been passed down for thousands of years!
Cracked?
the next moment.
A clear sword light flew out of the cracked seal, stretching and flying around Xie Qinghe, Xie Qinghe frowned slightly, the sword light fell instantly, flew into Xie Qinghe's finger, and turned into a ring.
"Fa Yin Hua Xing... What kind of method are you practicing?" Shangguan Shiyi asked in surprise.
Xie Qinghe thought to himself, what's so strange about Fayin changing into a sword ring?In my space, there is also a nine-turn Wenlan Yin that has turned into a fat little girl.There was a simple and honest smile on his face, and he said: "Maybe the patriarchs were too happy, and the spirit gave the disciple a magic weapon."
Shangguan Shiyi: "..."
I believe in your evil!
There was a change in the inheritance in the other room, which caused the guests who came to watch the ceremony to be very surprised when Shangguan Shiyi and Xie Qinghe went out.
As we all know, the Hanjiang Sword Sect has several majestic inheritance sacrificial vessels, which are precious because they have a history of thousands of years.
The first thing to bear the brunt is the cold river seal.According to legend, this seal is the magic weapon for controlling the great array of the Hanjiang Sword Sect's mountain guards. It's a small one, and it has infinite uses.For so many years, it has also represented the authority of the Hanjiang Sword Sect. Any letter sent by the Hanjiang Sword Sect to various factions in the world, once stamped with the Hanjiang Seal, is an iron law that must be implemented—otherwise, the Hanjiang Sword Sect will The faction will come to you to "reason".
The master and apprentice came out of the room, Shangguan Shiyi didn't wear the Hanjiang seal, and Xie Qinghe didn't wear the Hanjiang seal either.
Where did Han Jiangyin go?
The guests watching the ceremony were puzzled, but they didn't discuss it.
The last succession ceremony of the Hanjiang Sword Sect was more than 100 years ago. None of the guests who have come to watch the ceremony have seen the last succession ceremony with their own eyes, and they don't know what the process is.Maybe it will be up later?The little disciple next to him is holding a magic sword, right?
Only Chen Yiwei and the deacon who was in charge of the ceremony process were about to collapse.
Chen Yiwei asked angrily: "Who is going to wait for Master to get up today? Why didn't he bring the seal! Where is Qi Xinran? He has quick legs and he will go to Feixian Cottage to get it right away!"
The outer disciple who was in charge of Shangguan Shiyi Grand Ceremony was about to cry: "Senior Brother Chen, I definitely put a seal on the Master Master. The Master Master personally asked about it this morning, so he wore it on his waist!"
Just now.
The Dharma chime rang three times.
Everyone only saw a sword light flying out of Xie Qinghe's hand, flying around the outside of the Patriarch's Hall, first going up to the sky, and then sweeping over the Hanjiang River. Not only the guests watching the ceremony were eager to watch, but even the Hanjiang disciples who were guarding the side were all extremely surprised , There was a lot of discussion.
"It's not the sword energy of the senior brother. What is this?!"
"Purple air, auspicious light."
"Eldest brother is mighty!"
……
After Jian Guang went around the field for a circle, he flew back to Xie Qinghe's fingers.
Everyone vaguely saw the appearance of a seal, and then took a closer look, and there was an extra ring on Xie Qinghe's left middle finger.
Zhou Ying, the owner of Pangu Mountain Villa, exclaimed softly: "The magic weapon transforms into form. This is the inheritance of the Hanjiang Sword Sect that has been cut off for more than a thousand years..."
Xie Qinghe just turned around and nodded slightly.
His action was to explain the whereabouts of Han Jiangyin to the world, and it naturally received an unusual deterrent effect.
Taoist Sanping and Wu Chongqing, the head of Changchuan Shanju, were quite critical of Xie Qinghe's change of course and no longer obeying the old rules and regulations of Shangguan Shiyi.
Seeing Xie Qinghe displaying his strength now, Taoist Sanping stopped looking at Changchuan Mountain Residence.
——At first, I thought that the old man Shangguan was a ruthless person born in the world, and his apprentice was even more ruthless than him!Forget it, don't make trouble.
The entire succession ceremony was carried out strictly according to the ancient rituals.The parties, Shangguan Shiyi and Xie Qinghe, were very relaxed. As they knew, the important inheritance was kept inside the house, and outsiders were not allowed to watch it.Everything for outsiders to see is nothing more than a bustling scene.
The music group was blowing and beating, controlling the entire process of the ceremony.
When you should bow down, bow down, give what you should give, accept what you should receive...
Xie Qinghe still has the leisure and elegance to pay attention to Fu Chuan who is by his side.The little junior brother is very devout and serious, chanting words in his mouth.
He listened carefully, and Fu Chuan was counting.
Count your steps.
...he really refuses to make a single step wrong.
The role of Fu Chuan as the sword bearer is to follow the head disciple and help hold the magic sword given by the head disciple.
When Shangguan Shiyi took off the head robe and put it on Xie Qinghe himself, Fu Chuan's eyes were red.
There is no precedent of abdicating a sect leader alive without fault in the past dynasties. Stripping the robe of the sect master from his body is a punishment for the abdicated sect leader—if there is nothing wrong, the robe will be worn until death.
In the final analysis, if not for the master and the elder brothers both wanting to protect his status as the head disciple, the master would not have to abdicate at all.
After Xie Qinghe put on his robe, Shangguan Shiyi took a step aside.
At this time, Li Nanfeng and Chen Yiwei led the disciples to visit the new head.
Xie Qinghe supported Shangguan Shiyi.
This is definitely a movement that was not done in the previous rehearsal, and Chen Yiwei was so nervous that his blood vessels burst again.
"Master, the sun rises in the east and the sun sets in the west. This is called the movement of heaven." Xie Qinghe asked Shangguan to stand side by side with his things.
Chen Yiwei breathed a sigh of relief.
Shangguan Shiyi looked at the expectant eyes of all the disciples around him, especially Fu Chuan's red eyes, and just smiled, held Xie Qinghe's arm, pushed it away gently, and said: "There is no second day in the sky." .”
When you are an official, you should stubbornly stand aside.
Xie Qinghe was silent for a moment, then sat down on the head's throne.
All the disciples bowed together and shouted: "See the real master!"
More and more aristocratic families rushed to Hanshan, and Gein Xie Qinghe's succession ceremony was imminent.There are more and more guests in the guest hall. Most of the headmen, elders and core disciples have received invitations, and they are specially entertained by Shangguan Shiyi or Xie Qinghe. Fishing in Oolong Lake this morning and Feiyu Rock in the evening to enjoy the scenery, near the Hall of Patriarchs The mourning cloth has been taken off, and the lanterns and festoons have begun.
The places of interest and historical sites in Hanshan are full of young people who go to pay homage to the ancient and modern times, visit and pay their respects, and laughter is everywhere.
Fu Chuan was still guarding the Jianshan Pavilion obediently, but was dragged out by Chen Yiwei, and said: "Tomorrow is the succession ceremony of the elder brother, and your initiation ceremony is also arranged in the afternoon. What are you still guarding here?"
"Don't I have to look at the ever-burning lamp of the second senior brother?" Fu Chuan was full of displeasure.
He naturally knew that Shu Hanyun hadn't really died, but outsiders didn't know this!The body of the second senior brother is still at the Jianshan Pavilion, and the group of people outside don't even bother to come to offer incense, and they run around up and down the mountain every day. Going to catch fish, almost drowned in it, scaring the Hanjiang Sword Sect to send dozens of disciples to touch people in the water...
Chen Yiwei asked: "I will let people watch here. The first seven have passed, and the dead must give way to the living."
Fu Chuan looked back at the deserted mourning hall, and knew that what Chen Yiwei said was right.
If it was just for Shu Hanyun's funeral, it would be impossible to gather the heads of the six famous sects here, and they didn't come to Hanshan because of Shu Hanyun.The reason why funerals and happy events are arranged so densely is because it is impossible to delay the big bosses from all walks of life in Hanshan for too long—they are all bigwigs from one party, and they bring the elders to come out in full force. Can they still live in Hanshan for three to five months? ?
Seeing the deacons Hu Lei and Zhao Haoran coming to take over the funeral arrangements for Jianshan Pavilion, Fu Chuan felt a little relieved.
Hu Lei and Zhao Haoran are elite disciples with great power in the Outer Sect. They came directly to Jianshan Pavilion to take turns to guard. At least Chen Yiwei did not delay Shu Hanyun's funeral on purpose.
"Then what am I going to do now?" Fu Chuan was also at a loss.He was in charge of the funeral these days, and he didn't worry about the succession ceremony or the initiation ceremony.
Chen Yiwei pulled him out: "You have a lot to do. Fortunately, you don't need to do it yourself. You just need to send someone out."
Shi Qin reminded: "Little brother has already moved to the observatory."
"I know. I sent someone to wait at the star observatory. It just so happens that the senior brother wants to try the Taoist robe he will wear tomorrow." Chen Yiwei was very kind.
His attitude towards Shi Qin even seemed a little winsome.
When Yan Buqie and Shi Qin went down the mountain, Chen Yiwei was also young and didn't know him at all.
All I know is that the master once wanted to recruit him into the inner sect, and this person was valued by the elder brother, so he was arranged to be a servant next to the younger brother.
If Li Nanfeng was still standing, Chen Yiwei might still have some sense of crisis for the sudden appearance of Shi Qin.Now Li Nanfeng is banned from Sandalwood Xiaozhu, and he is about to be assigned to Dragon City - for the Hanjiang Sword Sect, going to Dragon City is tantamount to being completely far away from the core, and they can't get involved in major affairs within the sect - Li Nanfeng After falling down, Chen Yiwei suddenly fell into the situation of being in charge of the outer door alone.
Needless to say, there are deeper worries, and that time has not yet come.Just this endless mess of things broke Chen Yiwei.
If someone can come out to distribute power at this time...is that power distribution?It is clearly life-saving!
Chen Yiyi wished he could give Shi Qin most of his work.
Nai Shiqin was even more discreet and turned a deaf ear, these days he only followed Fu Chuan and was not interested in anything else.Fu Chuan's side was not busy all the time, Chen Yiwei tried a few times, and wanted to "borrow" Shi Qin for a while, but he couldn't!
When Fu Chuan and the others returned to the observatory, Xie Qinghe was not at home, and accompanied the headmen to drink tea in the middle of the mountain.
Fu Chuan looked at the sky, he only served dinner at noon, he didn't let him rest in the middle of the afternoon, and he wanted to drink tea?You really think my elder brother is iron-clad!
"Eldest senior brother has been living in seclusion these years, and the heads of the sect must miss him a lot." Chen Yiwei said vaguely.
Standing in front of the porch, Fu Chuan looked at the distant mountains and the vast cold river. In just a few days, he felt a lot of emotions.
Human feelings are cold and warm, nothing more than that.
In the past few days, the six major sect masters have all come together. It is a routine ritual for Shangguan Shiyi to entertain the reception banquet, and he will not accompany him for three meals a day.
In the past, when you were an official, you should live in seclusion in the Feixian Cottage. This group of people came to worship the mountain just to see each other more, and it was a great honor to drink a cup of tea in the Feixian Cottage.Now all the posts are coming to the Star Observation Tower, whether it is the top six sects known as first-class sects, or other second- and third-tier patriarchs, they all want to come to the Star Observation Tower to pay a visit to Xie Qinghe.
Shangguan Shiyi has not officially abdicated yet, and Xie Qinghe will take over as head until tomorrow. The atmosphere in the whole Hanshan is completely different.
Chen Yiwei arranged for someone to shave Fu Chuan's face, manicure his nails, and try on the priest's robes, but he left in a hurry.
Fu Chuan put on the Taoist robe, looked at himself in the mirror, and was full of anticipation in his heart.
I don't know what kind of Dao name Master will give me?The elder brother is called Qing He, but I can also be called Bai He!Although the Dao names of the second senior brother, the third senior brother, and the youngest senior brother are not related to cranes...but, senior brother and I are both direct disciples of the head of the sect, a big crane and a small crane, a nest of cranes, is not bad...
"Senior brother Shiqin, tell me, will master let me rank with senior brother or something?" Fu Chuan couldn't help asking.
Shi Qin smiled, and said: "I seem to have heard from the senior brother that the Daoist Master asked the senior brother to give you a Dao name. Since the Master Master gave your name to you, the Dao name will be given to the senior brother."
Fu Chuan immediately looked forward to it even more: "Really? Senior brother give me the Dao name?"
After trying on the Taoist robe, another disciple from the outer sect came to invite him: "Please, brother, go to the Patriarch Hall to rehearse the succession ceremony tomorrow."
Fu Chuan asked strangely: "The succession ceremony?"
"Yes. The senior brother asked the junior senior brother to be the sword bearer, and tomorrow the junior senior brother will be accompanied by the sword all the way." The outer disciple explained.
Fu Chuan turned over and jumped out from the wooden corridor. While turning over, he picked up his clogs, stepped on the clogs as he walked forward, and urged: "Go, go! Why did you tell me at this time?"
The outer disciple replied: "The elder brother said, the younger brother is smart and has a good memory, so it's just a matter of walking once in a while, no need to bother."
Fu Chuan had already walked far away, and couldn't help urging: "Go faster."
■
When Xie Qinghe returned to the observatory, it was already midnight.
The whole day is spent drinking tea and chatting. Lunch and dinner are arranged banquets, and guests in the guest hall must be well entertained.The rest of the time, it is a small tea talk interspersed with each other to connect emotions.
When Shangguan Shiyi suddenly announced his abdication, the whole Jianghu Baidao was shocked and caught off guard.
As early as 16 years ago, the whole world was waiting for Shangguan Shiyi to fall.Unexpectedly, Shangguan Shiyi not only did not decay and die quickly, but lived harder and harder, and seemed to have completely broken through the lifespan of three Jiazi.Now no one knows how long he can live.
——Just like Xiaohezhuang, which is the closest to Hanshan Mountain.
As early as 20 years ago, Xiao He Zhuang felt that Shangguan Shiyi was going to die, and secretly had delusional thoughts, taking advantage of natural disasters to buy fertile land at a low price.
It was Xie Qinghe who went down the mountain for a trip, and Xiaohezhuang calmed down a lot. He treated the tenant farmers honestly and kindly, and did not dare to bully them.If so, Shangguan Shiyi passed by Xiaohezhuang when he was going down the mountain to slay demons. After learning about this, he also made a gunshot wound on Xiaohezhuang, scaring the second owner of the village, Lu Peng, to go to Hanshan with gifts and kowtow to apologize.
Eight years ago, Lu Xiao, the owner of Xiaohezhuang, died.Three years ago, the second villa owner Lu Peng also died.
Now the owner of Xiaohe Village is Lu Xiao's son Lu Baishan.The older generation who used to count on the day of Shangguan Shiyi's fall are all dead, isn't Shangguan Shiyi still alive and well?
Shangguan should be old and strong, and Fu Chuan, who is the head disciple, is too young and immature. People in the world always think that the succession of the throne will take at least ten or twenty years, right?When I first became an official, it was appropriate to take over as the head of the family, and I was almost 20 years old.
Unexpectedly, Xie Qinghe, who had disappeared for many years, suddenly appeared!
These years Xie Qinghe has completely disappeared, no one knows where he went or what he did.
In other words, no one knows about his recent situation. No one knows whether the temperament and thoughts of this once high-spirited and reckless disciple of the Hanjiang Sword Sect have changed in the past 16 years. Under his leadership, will the Hanjiang Sword Sect change?
This is not just a matter of coming to watch the ceremony and giving gifts, nor is it a carnival of gathering people to feast.
For example, Shangguan Shiyi never cared about worldly affairs, and various factions secretly formed a tacit understanding with the underworld green forest, and played some tricks to raise the bandits' self-respect, so that wealthy businessmen and even the government had to ask their own sects for help and asylum, so as to increase their status and earn money. The Hanjiang Sword Sect doesn't care about getting rewards.
Xie Qinghe's attitude towards this is different.
If it is said that one size fits all, all the white ways are white and pure, then it is naturally impossible.Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.
What Xie Qinghe meant was that in the future, the Hanjiang Sword Sect would regularly send outside disciples to travel the rivers and lakes.
What?
Seeing injustice on the road, draw a knife to help.
He also had a tacit understanding with Fairy Bai of Zizhu Villa. Zizhu Villa would send younger disciples to travel the rivers and lakes with the Hanjiang Sword Sect. They said it was an experience for young disciples, but secretly who didn't understand what was going on?
The lethality of the young disciples of the Hanjiang Sword Sect is comparable to that of the elders of ordinary sects!Isn't it the tiger out of the cage? !
Moreover, sending a group of young disciples out to "walk the streets and fight for righteousness" is no different from imperial envoys.
All sects and sects are taking the opportunity to figure out Xie Qinghe's ways, and Xie Qinghe has not covered up at all, showing his true face openly: Yes, I used to pretend, when my master was in power, I would definitely listen to him.Now that I'm in charge, the rules are different.
After the outside affairs are settled, Xie Qinghe still remembers to care about his little junior brother at home.
At this time, the observatory hadn't stopped yet, the porch was full of lights, and Fu Chuan was holding a sword, asking Yun Chao and Shi Qin to accompany him to practice.
Shi Qin hung a piece of paper on his face with the word "Master" written on it, and sat at the end of the porch.On Yun Chao's face was a vividly painted head portrait, exactly like Xie Qinghe.Fu Chuan followed Yun Chao step by step, with a very serious attitude.
"It's so late, why don't you rest?" Xie Qinghe asked.
Fu Chuan was too focused, and only then did he realize that Xie Qinghe had returned, and said embarrassedly: "I just found out that tomorrow I will be the sword bearer for the senior brother. Lichen has already been laid over the Patriarch Hall, and the senior brothers are cleaning it. I'll be back to practice..."
Xie Qinghe didn't pay much attention to this, and said: "There is no need to be too rigid, the inheritance is important, and the ceremonies are all for outsiders to see."
He took off the paper skin from Yun Chao's face, and found that he painted himself pretty well, so he couldn't help smiling: "Who drew it?"
"Me." Fu Chuan put the piece of paper in his hand, and took a few more glances, "Elder brother's appearance and demeanor are drawn by the heavens, and my pen and ink are not as good as they are born in case."
"Little sycophant." Xie Qinghe nodded to Shiqin, signaling him and Yun Chao to take it easy, and took Fu Chuan back, "Take a rest."
Fu Chuan followed him at a trot, and asked, "Eldest senior brother, what dao name do you plan to give me?"
Xie Qinghe was taken aback by the question, and asked back, "What kind of dao name do you want?"
Fu Chuan's house only has a bedroom and a study room, and they have to share the hot water in Xie Qinghe's kitchen to wash and freshen up. The two entered the living room first, and Fu Chuan entered the door first to light up the lights, and arranged a couch for Xie Qinghe to rest on.Smelling that Xie Qinghe still smelled of alcohol, Fu Chuan brought over the prepared hangover tea and said, "I'll prepare hot water for bathing for senior brother first."
Xie Qinghe rested on the couch.
I have been idle for more than ten years, and there are countless people talking in my ears these days, and my ears are always buzzing when I am idle.
"Little brother, can you scoop it up for me..."
Before he finished speaking, Fu Chuan had already come out with a footbath, he said with a smile, "Let's soak your feet first. Here you go."
Xie Qinghe was really consoling.The younger brother is so filial and sensible, it is not in vain for the old father to spare no effort to help him find a marriage partner.After soaking his feet in the warm water basin, Fu Chuan sat on the footrest and rubbed his calves from time to time.Xie Qinghe told him: "I have made an agreement with Fairy Bai of Zizhu Mountain Villa. From now on, we will set a date every year and arrange some young disciples to go down the mountain to experience..."
In other words, let Fu Chuan take the children from Zizhu Villa to play at public expense and cultivate their relationship.
Fu Chuan was not as happy as he imagined.
Xie Qinghe was surprised: "Don't you want to go out with the kids?"
Said to let Fu Chuan go out to play, but Xie Qinghe did have the idea of purging Baidao, it was an arrangement that killed two birds with one stone.It's just that the disciples of the outer sect are "imperial envoys" outside, how can there be a deterrent effect of Fu Chuan walking down the mountain?Fu Chuan has been the head disciple for 16 years, so of course he understands this truth.
"No. Eldest brother arranged for me to go down the mountain, so I naturally take orders." Fu Chuan didn't want to go down the mountain, but just "followed orders".
This attitude is obviously wrong.If it was someone else, Xie Qinghe might not ask, but Fu Chuan is different.
"Did you really quarrel with the children?" Xie Qinghe comforted him, "It's not just Zizhu Villa. In the future, the other five major sects, the Su family, the An family, and other famous families should all send disciples of the younger generation to accompany them. It doesn't have to be all Get together, it must be a good time to get together, and then act separately."
Xie Qinghe thought deeply about Fu Chuan: "You can make more friends. As long as you have the same temperament, family background is not a problem."
——Children who don't like Zizhu Villa, and Pangu Villa, under the Yunhuang sect...the world is big.
Fu Chuan didn't want senior brother to worry about it, so he nodded and said, "I see."
Xie Qinghe saw him sitting on the footrest, reaching out to play with the water in the basin, looking limp.This child has been like this since he came back from the guest house that day.A moment of joy, a moment of loneliness, it seems that there are many things on my mind.But he refused to tell himself.
"Do you think that senior brother is going to be the head of the sect, so he can't talk to senior senior brother about many things?" Xie Qinghe asked.
Fu Chuan shook his head: "No. I'm fine."
Xie Qinghe couldn't force him to speak, so he had to change the topic and asked: "I just said about the name. Do you have any thoughts? If you have a favorite name, or use it to express your ambition, tell me now. Tomorrow The entrance ceremony should be arranged."
Fu Chuan leaned his back on the couch and said, "I just want to know what kind of Dao name the senior brother will give me. Master bestowed the name Qinghe on the elder brother, hoping that the senior brother will fly up to the clouds like a blue crane. That is the name of the master." Appreciation to senior brother. I want to know... what does senior brother think of me? I..."
He was also a little embarrassed as he spoke, "I have a little childish idea, I am embarrassed to say it now, I will tell the big brother tomorrow."
Xie Qinghe patted his head and said: "I have expectations for you too. You must know that the Dao name I gave you is a wish, a congratulation, and an affirmation of you. It is not a request. Remember, it is not a request. "
Instead, Fu Chuan became nervous: "Ah? Oh, okay, I remember. But... what is it?"
Xie Qinghe thought for a while and said, "Do you really want to know now?"
Fu Chuan asked carefully: "Does it sound good? Is it as immortal as the Dao name of the elder brother?"
This turned Xie Qinghe's question upside down. Just as he was about to tell him directly, Fu Chuan immediately shook his hand: "Don't say it! Tell me tomorrow! I think it's better to have some expectations and surprises!"
Xie Qinghe choked and couldn't laugh or cry: "Do you want to know?"
"In no mood!"
■
This was the first time Fuchuan lived in the wooden house after it was built.
The house was built by the senior brother himself, but the bed is his own. The bedding is also old and clean, and it smells of the incense that the senior brother often uses, just like sleeping in the senior brother's house. same in...
Fu Chuan tossed and turned wrapped in the quilt, unable to fall asleep no matter what.
He had inquired, Xie Qinghe hadn't been with Bai Ruyi these two days, maybe it was because there were too many people to meet and he was too busy?The marriage has not yet made a name for itself, and I received an order to go down the mountain to practice... Just like last time, I will go out for three to five months.
It's not that Fu Chuan doesn't like Yan Shaoying, or that he doesn't want to play with Yan Baoer and Hua Qing, or that he doesn't want to be too far away from the elder brother.
If I can bring my elder brother together...
Fu Chuan still misses the old days.Even if there is only one carriage, there is no room to sleep, you can only eat batter on the road, and you often sleep in the open... But with the senior brother, it seems that even the most boring things are interesting.
However, senior brother will soon be the head of the sect, how could it be possible to drive the carriage with him around like before?
That's it.
As long as people are alive, there will be all kinds of inexplicable partings.
Fu Chuan sighed.
He sat up suddenly from the bed, crackling in his head.
——Why do I always want to follow Eldest Brother?Why don't you want to separate from big brother?
Mingming bid farewell to his mentor and went down the mountain to investigate his life experience and mother's vendetta. He didn't have the slightest nostalgia for everything on the mountain or anyone on the mountain.Why do I always feel fear now, and feel uncomfortable when I think of being separated from my elder brother?
What's wrong with me?
■
Fu Chuan stayed up all night.
The next day at Yinshi, Chen Yiwei came to knock on the door, saw the swollen eyes of the younger brother, and took out two boiled eggs: "Here!"
Fu Chuan first rubbed his face with cold water, and then rolled his eyes with the egg, Chen Yiwei had already knocked on Xie Qinghe's door without fear of death.When Xie Qinghe went out, he was neatly dressed in plain clothes and a plain bun.Chen Yiwei unfolded the taoist robe he brought, and helped Xie Qinghe to put it on.
"Brother, be careful, this material is easy to wrinkle, if you want to sit later, go to another room to rest, take off your robe before sitting!" Chen Yiwei couldn't help telling.
Fu Chuan immediately showed sympathy, the clothes are good-looking, but it is a pity that clothes wear people, not people.
Xie Qinghe glanced at Fu Chuan.
Fu Chuan immediately came to his senses.What Xie Qinghe is wearing now is the Taoist robe of the head disciple, the material is easy to wrinkle, this is intentional.Because the identity of the head disciple is trembling and restless, he has to be worthy of the clothes in daily life, sitting and sleeping-if he is not careful, things will go wrong.
Xie Qinghe only wears it for half a day today, and at the succession ceremony, he will take off this clothes and put on the magic robe of the real master.
But he, the head disciple, will be formally recorded in the genealogy after the entrance ceremony, and officially take office.
Now there are already rumors up and down Hanshan.
The head had been a disciple of the head for more than 30 years, and he succeeded to the head.The elder brother has also been the head disciple for more than 30 years, and succeeded him as the head.Only our little junior brother is unlucky. As the head disciple, he is afraid that he will be there for 200 years!
In other words, in the coming days, whenever there are important occasions or ceremonies in the Hanjiang Sword Sect, Fu Chuan will have to wear Xie Qinghe's clothes that he can't sit on today, and he has to worry about wrinkling the material when he walks... Who should sympathize with whom? ah?
Xie Qinghe's trouble today is only this wrinkle clothes, Fu Chuan is different, he has to change four sets of clothes today.
When going out, I wear a set of regular clothes, and when I go to the Patriarch Hall to be a sword bearer, I need to change into a robe. In the afternoon, I also wear plain clothes for the Taoist ceremony. During the ceremony, I will be given the clothes by the senior brother and put on a new Taoist robe... For this reason, Chen Blindly arranged someone to take care of his clothes and wait for him to change, Xie Qinghe still appointed Shiqin to be in charge of everything, absolutely no mistakes were allowed.
On this issue, Xie Qinghe seemed to have double standards.In his own succession ceremony, he said that inheritance is important, and etiquette is for outsiders to see.When it came to Fu Chuan's initiation ceremony, he demanded to be extremely cautious and absolutely not to make any mistakes.
Fu Chuan saw it in his eyes, but didn't say anything, and was very moved in his heart.
The reason is very simple.
With Xie Qinghe's status, even if something went wrong in the succession ceremony, no one would dare to laugh at him, let alone damage his majesty.
Fu Chuan is different.He is still a young child with no achievements, his status, and even the respect given by his comrades in the world, all come from the protection of his teacher.Once his initiation ceremony goes wrong, it means that the Hanjiang Sword Party may neglect him, which will directly affect his reputation.
Fu Chuan naturally has his own pride and confidence, but the senior brother values and loves himself, why not be moved and accept it?
In the past, most of what Fu Chuan got from the status of "head disciple" was responsibility, pressure and shackles. Only after Xie Qinghe returned to Hanshan, did he really feel how superior it is to be a head disciple.
"Big Brother."
"Ok?"
"Congratulations, Senior Brother."
Xie Qinghe smiled slightly: "Congratulations too."
When the time came to the Patriarch Hall, all the disciples and guests had already arrived.Fu Chuan went to change his clothes to become a sword bearer.
Xie Qinghe wore the easily wrinkled Taoist robe of the head disciple, and went to the other room to meet Shangguan Shiyi.Shangguan Shiyi wore a purple gold crown and a robe of the head of the sect that had been passed down for thousands of years. It was rare for him to sit upright on the throne.Xie Qinghe knelt down in front of the hall and smiled at Shangguan Shiyi.
"At this time you are also smiling!" Shangguan Shiyi reprimanded.
"Congratulations, master, for getting this excellent student. Inheriting the sect, I will live up to the great trust of the ancestors." Xie Qinghe pointed to himself.
Shangguan Shiyi couldn't help but laughed, and helped Xie Qinghe to get up: "Get up quickly."
"The ceremonies in the Patriarch's Hall that attract people to watch are all vain. The inheritance between you and my master and apprentice is serious." Shangguan Shiyi looked at Xie Qinghe who was standing beside him, his eyes were full of relief and pride, "In the early years you It's not that your cultivation level surpasses being a teacher is not a great achievement, but compared to your subsequent achievements, your cultivation base is the least important."
Xie Qinghe smiled and was about to be modest, Shangguan Shiyi raised his hand to stop him, and said: "What you did in Longcheng, outsiders know little, even if they know, they don't know how great an achievement it is. The founder of the Hanjiang Sword Sect From the beginning, I was rushing to sacrifice for the evil, the ancestors of the past generations, the ancestors, the number of people who died! I thought I would die to see the day when the evil was cleared and the world was clean, you did it."
"You said, congratulations for being a teacher. Having such a good apprentice, I have lived up to the great trust of the ancestors. It should be congratulations for being a teacher!"
Shangguan Shiyi took off the small seal hanging from his waist and wore it on Xie Qinghe himself.
"Inheritance of the Zongmen, all the common people in the world, the master entrusts you."
He touched Xie Qinghe's head, and thanked him sincerely: "My apprentice Qinghe, from now on, I have worked hard for you."
The moment the Hanjiang Seal was hung on his waist, Xie Qinghe felt an extremely strange change had taken place between his profound pond and the space. The profound pond was expanding crazily, and the space seemed to be upgraded again?There seems to be an extremely strange connection between Xuanchi, Space and Hanjiang Yin.
This process seems to be extremely long, but in fact it is very short.Xie Qinghe made a pretense, and everything was over.
click.
The cold river seal was actually cracked.
Shangguan Shiyi was stunned.This is... the seal of the sect master... that has been passed down for thousands of years!
Cracked?
the next moment.
A clear sword light flew out of the cracked seal, stretching and flying around Xie Qinghe, Xie Qinghe frowned slightly, the sword light fell instantly, flew into Xie Qinghe's finger, and turned into a ring.
"Fa Yin Hua Xing... What kind of method are you practicing?" Shangguan Shiyi asked in surprise.
Xie Qinghe thought to himself, what's so strange about Fayin changing into a sword ring?In my space, there is also a nine-turn Wenlan Yin that has turned into a fat little girl.There was a simple and honest smile on his face, and he said: "Maybe the patriarchs were too happy, and the spirit gave the disciple a magic weapon."
Shangguan Shiyi: "..."
I believe in your evil!
There was a change in the inheritance in the other room, which caused the guests who came to watch the ceremony to be very surprised when Shangguan Shiyi and Xie Qinghe went out.
As we all know, the Hanjiang Sword Sect has several majestic inheritance sacrificial vessels, which are precious because they have a history of thousands of years.
The first thing to bear the brunt is the cold river seal.According to legend, this seal is the magic weapon for controlling the great array of the Hanjiang Sword Sect's mountain guards. It's a small one, and it has infinite uses.For so many years, it has also represented the authority of the Hanjiang Sword Sect. Any letter sent by the Hanjiang Sword Sect to various factions in the world, once stamped with the Hanjiang Seal, is an iron law that must be implemented—otherwise, the Hanjiang Sword Sect will The faction will come to you to "reason".
The master and apprentice came out of the room, Shangguan Shiyi didn't wear the Hanjiang seal, and Xie Qinghe didn't wear the Hanjiang seal either.
Where did Han Jiangyin go?
The guests watching the ceremony were puzzled, but they didn't discuss it.
The last succession ceremony of the Hanjiang Sword Sect was more than 100 years ago. None of the guests who have come to watch the ceremony have seen the last succession ceremony with their own eyes, and they don't know what the process is.Maybe it will be up later?The little disciple next to him is holding a magic sword, right?
Only Chen Yiwei and the deacon who was in charge of the ceremony process were about to collapse.
Chen Yiwei asked angrily: "Who is going to wait for Master to get up today? Why didn't he bring the seal! Where is Qi Xinran? He has quick legs and he will go to Feixian Cottage to get it right away!"
The outer disciple who was in charge of Shangguan Shiyi Grand Ceremony was about to cry: "Senior Brother Chen, I definitely put a seal on the Master Master. The Master Master personally asked about it this morning, so he wore it on his waist!"
Just now.
The Dharma chime rang three times.
Everyone only saw a sword light flying out of Xie Qinghe's hand, flying around the outside of the Patriarch's Hall, first going up to the sky, and then sweeping over the Hanjiang River. Not only the guests watching the ceremony were eager to watch, but even the Hanjiang disciples who were guarding the side were all extremely surprised , There was a lot of discussion.
"It's not the sword energy of the senior brother. What is this?!"
"Purple air, auspicious light."
"Eldest brother is mighty!"
……
After Jian Guang went around the field for a circle, he flew back to Xie Qinghe's fingers.
Everyone vaguely saw the appearance of a seal, and then took a closer look, and there was an extra ring on Xie Qinghe's left middle finger.
Zhou Ying, the owner of Pangu Mountain Villa, exclaimed softly: "The magic weapon transforms into form. This is the inheritance of the Hanjiang Sword Sect that has been cut off for more than a thousand years..."
Xie Qinghe just turned around and nodded slightly.
His action was to explain the whereabouts of Han Jiangyin to the world, and it naturally received an unusual deterrent effect.
Taoist Sanping and Wu Chongqing, the head of Changchuan Shanju, were quite critical of Xie Qinghe's change of course and no longer obeying the old rules and regulations of Shangguan Shiyi.
Seeing Xie Qinghe displaying his strength now, Taoist Sanping stopped looking at Changchuan Mountain Residence.
——At first, I thought that the old man Shangguan was a ruthless person born in the world, and his apprentice was even more ruthless than him!Forget it, don't make trouble.
The entire succession ceremony was carried out strictly according to the ancient rituals.The parties, Shangguan Shiyi and Xie Qinghe, were very relaxed. As they knew, the important inheritance was kept inside the house, and outsiders were not allowed to watch it.Everything for outsiders to see is nothing more than a bustling scene.
The music group was blowing and beating, controlling the entire process of the ceremony.
When you should bow down, bow down, give what you should give, accept what you should receive...
Xie Qinghe still has the leisure and elegance to pay attention to Fu Chuan who is by his side.The little junior brother is very devout and serious, chanting words in his mouth.
He listened carefully, and Fu Chuan was counting.
Count your steps.
...he really refuses to make a single step wrong.
The role of Fu Chuan as the sword bearer is to follow the head disciple and help hold the magic sword given by the head disciple.
When Shangguan Shiyi took off the head robe and put it on Xie Qinghe himself, Fu Chuan's eyes were red.
There is no precedent of abdicating a sect leader alive without fault in the past dynasties. Stripping the robe of the sect master from his body is a punishment for the abdicated sect leader—if there is nothing wrong, the robe will be worn until death.
In the final analysis, if not for the master and the elder brothers both wanting to protect his status as the head disciple, the master would not have to abdicate at all.
After Xie Qinghe put on his robe, Shangguan Shiyi took a step aside.
At this time, Li Nanfeng and Chen Yiwei led the disciples to visit the new head.
Xie Qinghe supported Shangguan Shiyi.
This is definitely a movement that was not done in the previous rehearsal, and Chen Yiwei was so nervous that his blood vessels burst again.
"Master, the sun rises in the east and the sun sets in the west. This is called the movement of heaven." Xie Qinghe asked Shangguan to stand side by side with his things.
Chen Yiwei breathed a sigh of relief.
Shangguan Shiyi looked at the expectant eyes of all the disciples around him, especially Fu Chuan's red eyes, and just smiled, held Xie Qinghe's arm, pushed it away gently, and said: "There is no second day in the sky." .”
When you are an official, you should stubbornly stand aside.
Xie Qinghe was silent for a moment, then sat down on the head's throne.
All the disciples bowed together and shouted: "See the real master!"
