But helpless, Yu Qiu was still being manipulated by a group of old women.
Only then did he confirm that these old ladies were the ones who helped the bride take care of herself during weddings in town!
Because he has clearly rejected rouge and lipstick.
After being teased for a while, Yu Qiu walked out of the yard.
Everyone has to participate in the initiation ceremony today, so the only one who follows him and reminds him of what to do is an ordinary person from Qiyang Town.
Even the people singing today are ordinary people.
Yu Qiu walked all the way to the square, where the disciples were already standing upright according to the order of entry.
When Lu Siqian was preparing, he even thought of preparing new clothes for everyone.
At this time, Lu Zhan, as Yu Qiu's first disciple, stood at the front wearing new clothes.
Seeing Yu Qiu's arrival, a strong man shouted at the top of his lungs: "See the sect master!"
Everyone bowed to Yu Qiu and saluted: "See the sect leader!"
Yu Qiu bowed and returned the courtesy.
The boy next to me reminded him in a low voice: "Daoist Master Yu, I have to say a few words."
Yu Qiu didn't say anything big. He just raised his hands to several disciples and said, "I still need to trouble you all about the future development of Qiyun Sect."
"I'll do what I should do." Lu Siqian replied loudly.
The others then followed up with an answer.
This ceremony can also be said to be a rehearsal, so everything is kept simple.
When the strong man saw Yu Qiu finished speaking, he shouted again: "Sacrifice to heaven and earth!"
This time, Yu Qiu was needed to lead him. He walked to Lu Zhan and stood in front of him, and someone handed him the fragrance.
In front of the imitation Yin Yang and Five Elements disk, an incense burner has been prepared, and behind the incense burner, more than ten futons have been placed.
Yu Qiu frowned and asked the young man next to him in a low voice: "What are the futons for?"
The young man was stunned: "Daoist Master Yu, please pay homage."
Yu Qiu shook his head gently, turned to look at the disciples, and said loudly: "From now on, the first rule of the Qiyun Sect is not to kneel when you meet others!"
After that, he turned around and looked at the ordinary people in Qiyang Town who came to help, and said: "The first rule of Qiyang Town is the same!"
Everyone was stunned.
"We monks respect heaven and earth, the Tao and our master, our fellow disciples, and our fellow Taoists, but!" When Yu Qiu said this, he paused and said loudly: "Don't kneel!"
Click!
As soon as Yu Qiu finished speaking, there was an explosion of thunder in the clear sky.
Not only others, but even Yu Qiu himself was startled, but then he became furious, pointed at the sky and cursed: "Even if you kill me! I won't kneel down!"
Having said that, Yu Qiu was also worried, secretly making preparations, waiting for the lightning to fall, and then resisted.
But after pointing for a while, except for the thunder that just appeared, no other strange phenomena appeared.
Yu Qiu then shook his head, chuckled, took back his raised right hand, and looked at the disciples: "Look, I respect it but I'm not afraid of it, and it can't do anything to it."
After he finished speaking, he lit the fragrance in his hand and led the disciples to bow respectfully towards the Yin Yang and Five Elements Plate.
After worshiping the heaven and earth, he turned his head and worshiped the portraits of the previous sect leaders hanging next to him.
Yu Qiu still led his disciples to bow.
Finally, Yu Qiu stood there, waiting for the disciples to come and greet him.
Since Yu Qiu said so, it was naturally impossible for them to kowtow to him.
The disciples, led by Lu Zhan, bowed to Yu Qiu one by one.
Yu Qiu also returned the gifts one by one.
After each disciple finished the ceremony, Yu Qiu handed over another sect jade plaque.
However, this jade tablet has no other uses except entering and exiting the Qiyun Sect's mountain-protecting formation.
Since rules must be established, Yu Qiu cannot let a few people enter and exit the warehouse at will.
In the future, if you want to obtain any resources, you have to help the sect in exchange for points, and then redeem them with points.
Of course, as the sect leader, it is still okay to give some extra rewards.
At this point in the initiation ceremony, there is actually one more step, which is for the disciples to meet their direct leaders.
In the Xuantian Sect, he is called the Peak Master, and in the future, he will naturally be the branch dean of Qiyun College.
However, except for the Enlightenment Branch, there is no branch dean at this time, so this step is omitted.
The whole ceremony lasted only as short as one stick of incense.
But this time, there are only seven or eight entry-level disciples, so it will be faster.
From now on, each batch of disciples will range from dozens to hundreds. It may take an hour or two just for the sect leader to see the disciples.
After the initiation ceremony was over, Yu Qiu looked at the residents of Qiyang Town who were watching, and said loudly: "From now on, everyone in Qiyang Town, even if they see the monks, they only need to respect them and don't be afraid.
No need to kneel!"
"If any Qiyun Sect monk asks you to kneel, tell me directly!" Yu Qiu looked at the disciples beside him, then turned back and continued: "If any outsider asks you to kneel, Qiyun Sect will support you.
!”
Someone in the crowd shouted: "Thank you, Master Yu!"
Someone started the conversation, and naturally one after another others expressed their thanks.
Yu Qiu waved his hands towards them: "Today's ceremony is over, let's disperse."
After all the ordinary people had dispersed, he turned to look at the disciples, smiled at them and said, "Is there anything you want to ask?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison.
Yu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Ordinary people have nothing to do with it. If it can't be reversed, forget it. He didn't bother to ask too much.
But these disciples were all found in person, so it would be more troublesome if they had any relationship.
It seems fine now.
Lu Zhan has been following him all year round and has long been accustomed to this routine.
Niulanshan and Xia Zidao were both ordinary people not long ago, and had not yet formed the concept of monks being superior.
Xiao Nianyu came from Ao'an Continent. Human beings in Ao'an Continent, whether monks or ordinary people, were all discriminated against and suppressed, and there was no such kind of high and low classes internally.
Lu Siqian was already practicing all this as early as Wenxiangfang.
Yu Qiu's only worry is Zongzheng.
But looking at his expression, I didn't think there was anything wrong.
The reason why Yu Qiu arranged this initiation ceremony was for this moment.
Yu Qiu, who came from Blue Star, has long been accustomed to that kind of values. Now, if he is asked to kneel down, he really cannot kneel down.
Since I can't kneel down, it goes against the values of many people.
What to do?
Naturally, I want to encourage more people, but I don’t want to kneel down!
Now that Qiyun College is to be established, this college must be a pioneer in practicing its own values.
Now it seems that I have done quite well in teaching by words and deeds, and the disciples I have found are also very reliable.
At least no one spoke out against it at this time.
Yu Qiu chuckled lightly and waved to several people: "Let's all leave. That's it for today's ceremony."
Lu Siqian thought for a moment and then asked: "Sect Master, the initiation ceremony from now on..."
"That's the case!" Yu Qiu nodded.
The initiation ceremony is finally over.
Yu Qiu was very satisfied when he saw that the ceremony was indeed carried out as he had planned.
After resting for a day, Yu Qiu looked to the northwest again.
There is one more thing there that needs to be understood.
Why were those ferocious beasts gathered together, and why did they attack the Qiyun Sect!
