The voice came from the due north. Everyone heard the voice and looked up, only to see the current headmaster Tian Mingzi slowly descending from the high steps accompanied by the imperial envoy.
"The real person hears the voice and distinguishes the nature, and has a keen eye to recognize people. He is worthy of being a member of the immortal family." The officials who came to watch the ceremony flattered him.
Nanfeng frowned and lowered his head. This guy really didn't miss any opportunity to put money on his face. He heard it clearly from two miles away. Tianmingzi was only a hundred steps away from where he was, so how could he be two miles away.
"Blessings are immeasurable, Heavenly Lord." Tiangangzi and others saluted Tianmingzi. The way Taoists chant the name of the Heavenly Lord during the ceremony is also different. Ziqi Zhenren, who has cultivated above the mountain, sings the name of the Blessed and Infinite Heavenly Lord, while Taoists who have never reached the mountain cultivation level sing the name of the Infinite Heavenly Lord.
"It's not a temple altar, no need for courtesy, no need, no need." Tian Mingzi waved his hand.
Tianqizi tilted his head after bowing, "Master Master, everything has a first come, first served basis. I have already decided on this boy. You are late."
Tianqizi said it politely, but the words were very strong, which was not the tone of discussion at all.
Tianmingzi laughed twice when he heard this. He must have wanted to use the time of his dry laughter to think about how to answer the question. He may not have thought of the right words, so he laughed twice again after the dry laugh.
Tiangangzi on the side smiled and answered, "What Senior Brother Tianqi said is true, everything has a first come, first served. I decided on this person first. Everyone has heard it and seen it. Master disciple, Senior Brother Tianqi, you can't take it away. Loved by people."
Tianmingzi still hadn't figured out how to answer the question, so he could only continue laughing.
The imperial officer on the side was the best at flattering him and hurriedly spoke to resolve his embarrassment, "I have long heard that Zhen Zhen is free and easy-going and approachable. I never thought that he would still be so kind and approachable after taking over as the leader."
Tianmingzi got the steps and looked much better. He smiled and answered, "Both of you are senior brothers, so you can't bully the younger ones."
At this point, the three of them all insisted on accepting Nanfeng as their disciple, and no one had the intention to give in.
Nanfeng frowned and lowered his head, thinking anxiously. He was the kind of person who never forgot the pain even after his scars were healed. His quarrel with Lingyanzi was just revenge for her previous beating and today's verbal humiliation. He never expected that it would lead to such an incident. , now the three of them want to accept him, what should they do
The top priority is to determine why these three people are rushing to take him in, whether they really appreciate him, or whether his origin has been leaked.
After thinking anxiously, Nanfeng felt that the latter possibility was unlikely. His previous quarrel with Lingyanzi was unpredictable. From this, it can be judged that Tiangangzi's admission of him was just a temporary move.
When Tian Dezi and others came to him for questioning that day, Tiangangzi was not present, but Tian Chengzi, who was the assistant of the lower palace, was present. This shows that Tiangangzi is not from Tian Dezi's faction.
It is precisely because of the different positions of Tiangangzi and Tiandezi that Tianqizi comes out to rob people. Tiandezi and others will naturally not let him become a disciple of an outsider.
As for Tianmingzi, he was just a troublemaker. He encountered this incident by chance and worked hard to show off his majesty as a master.
The three of them did not relent and backed down, and they had their own reasons. At present, all the students who had passed the first test were there, and the imperial envoys were also there. Tiangangzi was the first to speak. If he backed down now, he would lose his reputation.
Tianqizi did not regress because he knew his origins. He was the only person who knew the Taixuan Sutra and was the leader who everyone planned to assist. If he accepted his opponent as his teacher, all his previous efforts would be in vain. Of course, there may also be Tianqizi's personal likes and dislikes involved. Tianqizi is a man who is not afraid of trouble, and his previous words and deeds may be in line with his temper.
Tianmingzi was looking for trouble and got involved, but as the leader of the Taiqing Sect, he had already said what he said. In front of so many people, not even a disciple could accept it, and his face was natural. Can't hang on.
The three real people were vying for disciples. Naturally, the Taoist leading the way could not leave with the students. After the three people expressed their opinions, no one answered. Once the silence fell, the atmosphere immediately became strange.
At this time, only Tian Chengzi and the imperial envoy were qualified to speak to ease the atmosphere. However, Tian Chengzi belonged to the Tian Dezi faction, and no matter what he said at this time, it was wrong. After all, the imperial envoy was an outsider and should not interfere in the internal affairs of the Taiqing Sect.
In the end, it was Tiangangzi who spoke first, "Haha, we are fighting over each other here, and we still don't know what the owner of the matter is up to. That young man, among our three brothers and sisters, which one do you want to follow?"
Nanfeng heard the sound and looked at Tiangangzi. Tiangangzi cleared his throat and said half-jokingly, "The Liuhe Shenquan that Pindao has learned is quite powerful, and he is also accomplished in the Five Thunder Techniques. If you can teach it, you will be able to travel around the world in the future. When you subjugate demons, there should be no obstacles."
"Hahaha, junior brother, don't boast," Tianqizi also told the truth, "that young man, listen carefully, the poor Taoist purple energy has been added to the body, granted the title of Cave Abyss, and the title of Taiji Supervisor of the Northern and Southern Courts, the second vocation Pin, when the spiritual talisman arrives, order the five heavenly soldiers!"
Nanfeng looked at Tiangangzi and then at Tianqizi. On the surface, the two were joking, but in fact they were secretly fighting.
"Okay, okay, two senior brothers, stop laughing." Tianmingzi came to the crowd and looked at Nanfeng with a smile, "Young man, do you know that only the disciples of the Taiqing Sect can practice Gaoxuandao? Law?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting worse and worse, Nanfeng fell to his knees, "As a servant of the Secular Affairs Hall, it is already wrong to contradict Taoist Master Lingyan. The three masters have not punished me. They are already showing mercy outside the law. How dare I expect any more?" In addition, it is a great blessing for me that these two masters are willing to accept me as a disciple. I am even more frightened if the master teaches me to speak Chrysostom again. However, I was born a beggar, have no cultivation, and do not understand the rules. I dare to invite three masters. Test and observe, if I can get rid of my bad habits and learn the rules in the future, it will not be too late to include it again."
After Nanfeng finished speaking, everyone nodded. After Nanfeng said this, Tianmingzi had a step to go down, Tiangangzi also had face, and what Tianqizi was most worried about did not happen.
The imperial envoy lost no time in flattering him again, "The real person is in charge of Taiqing and his upright conduct is effective. All his disciples are sensible and sensible."
Tianmingzi smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand to support Nanfeng, and turned to Lingyanzi and said, "As friends from the same sect, peace is the most precious thing."
Lingyanzi bent over.
Tianmingzi nodded again to Tianqizi and Tiangangzi, then put his hands behind his back and went down the mountain with the imperial envoy.
The young Taoist who led the way led everyone to continue climbing the steps, while Tian Chengzi scolded Lingyanzi from the side.
"What's your name?" Tiangangzi asked with a smile.
Before Nan Feng could answer, Tian Qi Zi grabbed the conversation from the side and said, "Don't ask. This guy has a very bad temper and doesn't get along with you. Leave it to me."
Tiangangzi seemed to have a good relationship with Tianqizi. He smiled and stepped forward, "I never agreed."
Tianqizi looked around and pulled Nanfeng toward the west path.
"Master, where are you taking me?" Nanfeng asked.
Tianqizi didn't answer and continued to pull Nanfeng towards the west.
"I still have to go to the Zhongwei Hall." Nanfeng said.
"Why are you going there? If you don't pass the first exam, will you still feel uncomfortable?" Tianqizi was in a good mood, with a smile on his face.
Master Ziqi has his own residence. A few hundred steps west is Tianqizi's residence. Unlike Tiandezi's other courtyard, Tianqizi's residence is very simple, with only three wooden houses and a thatched hut, and not even a yard.
Tianqizi pulled Nanfeng to the wooden house. He wanted to enter the house, but after thinking about it, he pulled Nanfeng to the stone table under the tree and sat down on the stone pier.
"This is the best result." Tianqizi pointed to the stone pier opposite and motioned for Nanfeng to sit down and talk.
Nanfeng did not sit down, but looked at Tian Qizi with confusion. He didn't know what Tian Qizi was referring to.
"You already have a master, and you are not allowed to be a master anymore. But now you are not allowed to enter the school without a master, and if we accept you, the seniority will be messed up again. This was originally a dead knot, but now the dead knot has been solved," Tianqizi He lowered his voice and said, "This is the best. In the future, if I help you practice and go to see you, no one else will be suspicious. They will just treat me as someone who is calm with them. Very good, very good. You really kill two birds with one stone..."
