Chapter 189: Ascending to the Clouds

today,

Trinity Gate has a new entrance.

Zhou Xiaohuan was transferred from the lower house to the upper house.
Xu Zhiqiu led her into the sect's main hall and knelt down to worship the ancestor.

After paying homage to the tablet of the ancestor, he came to the central courtyard, gave her the precepts, and explained to her the laws and rules of the Trinity Sect one by one.

"From now on, you are an official disciple of the Trinity Sect. There are already eight disciples before you. You must be harmonious and friendly."

"Yes."

Zhou Xiaohuan performed a great ceremony and then served tea, which marked the end of the ceremony.

After the ceremony, you can start to spread the Dharma and reverse rebirth.

"Great, I have a junior sister now!"

Liu Yingying clapped her hands happily.

Zhou Xiaohuan is three years older than her, but she started later and can only be ranked below her.

All the brothers who were lining up nearby were also smiling.

Zhou Yixian, as a family member, was also watching the ceremony. Seeing this, he smiled and teased his granddaughter:
"Since he's ranked ninth, I think we should just call him Zhou Laojiu? Hahaha..."

"Grandpa~"

Xiao Huan said something to him, lowering her head and muttering:

"So I am the youngest on this mountain..."

"That's not right. There's a smaller one over there."

Liu Yingying pointed at Qu Niang. In her arms, Wu Bufu was crying loudly.

Zhou Xiaohuan liked it and came forward:

"You are so energetic. Let me hug you."

With dark circles under her eyes, Qu Niang quickly handed the child to her, rubbed her sore shoulders, and complained:

"Please let me rest for a while. This little thing is more annoying than you when you were a kid."

Xiaohuan took out a string of candied haws from the cloth bag tied around her waist, picked a fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, and the baby immediately became obedient.

Xiaohuan looked at the baby's eyebrows, eyes and facial features, and was suddenly stunned.

She is proficient in Yuzhu physiognomy, Ziwei Doushu, and has made great achievements in face reading.

"This child...I'm afraid things are not going well."

…………

"It's so hard to be a teacher... Sometimes I really wish they could grow faster like the green onions in the field."

On the training ground, the apprentices were doing their homework as usual.

Xu Zhiqiu and Zhou Yixian were sitting there drinking tea and chatting.

After hearing his sigh, Zhou Yixian looked at him:
"You are about to ascend to the top, but you are feeling unsure, right?"

Xu Zhiqiu chuckled: "What do you mean by that? Why should I be so unsure?"

"Okay, I plan to stay for a few days before leaving."

Zhou Yixian said, pointing at Zhou Xiaohuan who was practicing standing still in the field:

"If you go up to Qingyun and can't come down, I can take my granddaughter away."

"Are you mocking me or telling me off?"

"I am asking you to do so."

Zhou Yixian added the half-bowl of tea he had left into his bowl, causing Xu Zhiqiu to frown.

"You are shouldering a lot of responsibility now. If you only think about being a hero, I won't dare hand my granddaughter over to you."

"So what do you mean?"

"Listen to me and don't go. When Puhong arrives, he will explain everything to Qingyun. I think now that things have come to this, he will not hide Puzhi's matter any longer."

Xu Zhiqiu sneered and shook his head:

"If you cover your ears, there will be no thunder outside. Since we promised to go to Qingyun, how can I break my promise?"

"I told you a fortune yesterday. Do you want to know?"

Xu Zhiqiu curled his lips: "Can you believe what you said?"

The fortune-telling skills of this old man surnamed Zhou are far inferior to those of his granddaughter Zhou Xiaohuan.

It was just a matter of throwing coins, and a dog could throw more accurately than him. Zhou Yixian, who was mocked, was not annoyed, but said:
"Anyway, the hexagram doesn't look good. It means that you shouldn't take the initiative in planning things at the moment. If you do, success or failure will be on the line, and you will lose something."

Xu shook his head:
"Everything depends on human effort. If I don't go, I will be missing out..."

After saying this, he looked towards the south, not knowing where he was looking.

--------

Seven days passed in a flash.
Xu Zhiqiu set foot on the land of Tongtian Peak as promised.

The person who received him was Chang Jian, a disciple from Tongtian Peak. Xu Zhiqiu had met him once during the Cao Miao Village tragedy.

She was quite respectful and bowed to him:
"My master has already been waiting in Yuqing Palace. Please follow me, Master Xu."

"Ah."

The head of Qingyun Sect was very arrogant and sent people to welcome him. Xu Zhiqiu was too lazy to argue with him.

As he passed through the sea of ​​clouds and stepped onto the Rainbow Bridge, he also admired the exquisite scenery of Tongtian Peak.

After getting off the Hongqiao Bridge and passing by a pond, we saw a huge creature lying beside the pond, snoring loudly.

The beast was about two meters tall when crawling, and about five meters tall when standing up.

Its entire body is dark blue, its head is like a dragon, its shape is like a horse, its size is like a deer, and its tail is like an ox's tail.

Xu Zhiqiu was curious for a moment and couldn't help but stop and take a closer look.

"Kirin?"

Chang Jian smiled slightly, bowed to the beast, and introduced it to Xu Zhiqiu:

"It is a water qilin, an ancient benevolent beast. It was subdued by my sect's Qingye Patriarch 1,200 years ago and has been the guardian spirit of my Qingyun Sect ever since."

"During the several battles between good and evil, it was thanks to this old man that he could control the water and waves, and he achieved many remarkable feats and killed many evil spirits."

"It is indeed a lucky beast."

Xu Zhiqiu nodded, and perhaps because he was jealous or something else, he no longer stopped to look at the scenery.

Chang Jian continued to lead the way, and soon they arrived in front of a grand building.

There are three gold-plated seal characters written vertically on the plaque - Yuqing Hall.

Before he even stepped inside, Xu Zhiqiu's problem suddenly came back and he started to plot something in his mind.

The Yuqing Hall is at least four times larger than the Sanyi Gate Hall.

It is spacious and grand enough to accommodate nearly a thousand people.

The decoration is also of a different level. Even the windows of this hall are pasted with silk, which shows how wealthy and powerful this palace is.

Xu Zhiqiu thought that after all, this was a two-thousand-year-old sect, and it was like a god farting, extremely loud.

As soon as I stepped into the hall, as expected, I attracted countless attention.

Xu Zhiqiu took a quick look and saw that there were at least three to five hundred people in the hall.

In addition to the Qingyun Sect's chief who was almost all present, there were more than twenty middle-aged or old Taoist priests with long beards, who should be the elders of the sect.

Of course, the majority are disciples, and they are presumably elites.

There were also some familiar faces that Zhiqiu had seen, such as Qi Hao, Zeng Shushu, Zhang Xiaofan, Lin Jingyu, Wen Min...

Oh, and there is Lu Xueqi, who is standing behind Shuiyue at this moment.

Like most people, those eyes had been fixed on him since Xu Zhiqiu entered the hall, so it didn't seem out of place.

Daoxuan and the other abbots stood up one after another, and the head of Qingyun Sect stepped forward and bowed to him:

"Master Xu is indeed a man of his word."

Xu Zhiqiu returned the courtesy and glanced around again:
"Am I here early?"

"No, Tianyin and Fenxiang are also people who keep their promises. They will always show up when they say they will."

Daoxuan said, raising his hand to lead someone:
"This is the disciple of Master Yun Yilan of Fenxiang Valley, his nephew Li Xun. I think Sect Master Xu is familiar with him, right?"

Xu Zhiqiu looked in the direction he was looking and saw Li Xun with an arrogant look on his face, bowing slightly towards him as a greeting.

Xu doesn't have a good impression of this person.

Just when he was about to ignore it, his eyebrows raised, as if he noticed something slightly unusual.

There was a golden glow in his eyes, and he glanced at Li Xunduo.

Then, he nodded:
"of course."
