Time passed quickly, and finally the day for the two to celebrate the ceremony. On this day, Lin Xi and Ning Caichen bathed again. At this moment, the two were wearing blue shirts and their hair was wrapped in a piece of gray cloth on their heads, raising like a hill.

The two knelt on the straw mat, and each placed three bamboo baskets in front of them. Among the bamboo baskets are three head crowns of different sizes and colors. When these three head crowns are carried on the heads of two people in turn, it means that the two are adults.

Zhang Moben also changed into a white ancient costume today. Although it was still the same as the large-sleeved ancient costume, the fabric was changed to the precious Yunjin.

"This place is simple, and as a teacher, you can only follow the etiquette as much as possible. But there are inevitably many conditions that cannot be met. Well, please ask for the 'Guigu Saint' and the statue of the ancestors first." Zhang Moben looked serious and his voice seemed to be chanting a poem. When he said to ask for the 'Guigu Saint' and the statue of his ancestors, the two curtains that were originally rolled up suddenly fell. The curtains were replaced with two scrolls.

The scroll is simple and there are portraits of two sages on it. One of the sages on the scroll is wearing ancient clothes and a high crown. The left hand is behind the body and the right hand is pressed tightly on the waist. The whole person is as tall as a mountain, with a spirit of guiding the country.

The figure who held the sword in his hand was Zhang Moben's ancestor, that is, Zhang Yi, the ancient sage who obtained part of the Taoist traditions of the Guigu Saint.

One is Zhang Yi, and the other is naturally the "Guigu Saint". But just as Lin Xi and Ning Caichen looked at the portrait of Guigu Saint, they were shocked!

The scroll painted with the "Guigu Saint" is also an ancient costume figure. Moreover, the painting is delicate and every stroke is like life. It even gives Lin Xi and Ning Caichen an illusion that the clothes in the scroll are not drawn, but real fabrics. The ancient costume figure is vividly displayed on the paper, like a living person, who seems to be able to walk out of the scroll at any time.

If you have such a painting, it can be seen that the person who paints the portrait of a saint is not an ordinary person. But what shocked the two of them was not the painting worker, but the face of the "Guigu Saint"...

The place where the facial features of a saint should have been painted is as empty as wild. The whole scroll was completed in one go, but it was blank on the face of the saint! Doesn’t this mean that a saint has no face?

Is this the painter deliberately slandering the saint? Or is there another hidden truth?

"Don't be surprised, this is the matter. I will explain the reasons for you."

Just as the scroll was opened, Zhang Moben respectfully knelt before the two portraits and said to Lin Xi and Ning Caichen at the same time.

When the two heard this, they had to temporarily suppress their doubts and respectfully bowed to the two portraits.

After kneeling down and bowing to the portrait several times, Zhang Moben slowly stood up and walked to the shelf with a wooden basin. Zhang Moben carefully washed his hands and walked to the two of them again.

"Lin Xi, let's start first."

Zhang Moben said in a deep voice, and at the same time he picked up the cloth crown woven in the first bamboo basket in front of Lin Xi.

Lin Xi was still kneeling on the ground, her waist was straight, just lowering her head slightly. Zhang Moben slowly put the gauze crown in his hand on Lin Xi's head. As soon as the gauze crown was put on, Zhang Moben chanted loudly:

“令月吉日,始加元服,弃尔幼字,顺尔成德.寿考惟祺,介尔景福.”

The words Zhang Moben read were exactly the congratulations recorded in the ancient Book of Rites. This is also the most solemn part of the entire crown ceremony.

After saying that, Zhang Moben possessed himself again and took out another head crown from the second bamboo basket. The second head crown is different from the first one, and is white in color and is also made of deer skin. The entire leather crown has no diamonds or horns, but is as round as melon skin.

"The auspicious month is the first time to be in charge of the year, and then Shen Er is respectful to the etiquette, and is gentle and handsome. She lives forever forever and receives blessings from Hu."

Zhang Moben put the second skin crown on Lin Xi's head and continued to chant a greeting.

"To the correct year, to the order of the month, Xianjia's patronize. Both brothers are here to achieve the virtues, and the Yellow and Old Man have no boundaries, and they receive the celebration of heaven."

The third head crown was put on. The entire crown ceremony was considered to be mostly over. The third head crown is different from the first two. The third crown is the largest and the color is red, and the entire head crown is like a roof of a house.

After Lin Xi, Zhang Moben followed the rules and brought three crowns to Ning Caichen. The whole process was rigorous and solemn. From now on, the two of them announced their farewell to the young man and grew up!

"Thank you, teacher!"

The two of them bowed together and received a 10% tribute, which means that Zhang Moben is about to leave here. A few simple words include both gratitude and reluctance.

"Okay, get up! According to the etiquette, you two should go back to pay homage to your parents. But before that, I will teach you a little more of the last thing!"

Zhang Moben gently helped the two of them up. This was the first time he had made such an intimate move. It can be seen that this strict teacher was reluctant to leave.

Zhang Moben helped the two of them up, then turned around. Then he gently raised his sleeves and waved them to the two scrolls, and the two scrolls were automatically rolled up. Looking at this scene, Lin Xi's eyelids twitched. It was obvious that there was no martial arts atmosphere on the teacher, but Lin Xi's unusual feeling told him that the teacher's breath was much stronger than his mother!

You should know that the Fox Mother is already a demon clan of level six and close to level seven. He has the ability to fly in the air and cut gold and jade in his body. And Zhang Moben, a literati, seems to be more powerful than the Fox Mother.

"The portrait of the 'Guigu Saint' just now was painted by an ancestor of my Zhang family. This ancestor is no one else, but the ancient sage Zhang Yi. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid my Zhang family would not even have such a portrait of a saint. Even if I am a teacher now, I can't draw the outline of a saint..."

Zhang Moben said with his back to the two and said with a slight slight feeling. His words made the two gradually calm down. The teacher who was respectful to the gods could not even draw the outline of the saint. The incomplete portrait of the saint was actually painted by the ancient sage Zhang Yi. According to the teacher's intention, it was not that Zhang Yi did not want to draw a complete saint, but that even the saint's disciple, Zhang Yi, could not complete this...

"As for the reason why the saints are in formless, I cannot tell you. You still need to understand these yourself in the future. Some of the things you have to understand more clearly than what you know from others, and this is also of great benefit to you!"

Zhang Moben continued, but did not tell the two of them the reason for "the saint has no form". Instead, he asked them to search for it by themselves. It seemed that there was something hidden in it!

"It's up to you, and I will return to the capital of Chaozhou tomorrow! Caichen..."

Zhang Moben looked into the distance and seemed to see the Chaodu thousands of miles away. Then he called Ning Wan's word "彩", which was also the first time Zhang Moben called him Caichen.

"Please give me instructions!"

Ning Caichen bowed and knew what the teacher had to give to him when he called his name just now.

"After your teacher leaves, you can make arrangements when you go home and come to Chaodu. With your talent and education, you can stand out and be in the court in less than two years. When you arrive at Chaodu, come and find a teacher!"

Zhang Moben whispered that this teacher, who was usually serious, could not hide his reluctance when he left in the end. He asked Ning Caichen to come to the court to find him, which shows that he really liked this disciple.

"Thank you, the teacher, the student will not let the teacher down!"

Ning Caichen also felt warm in his heart. Although the teacher said this out of concern for himself, as he was known to the two of them when they arrived in the Chaozhou capital, Ning Caichen's career was naturally smooth.

"Lin Xi!"

"Students are here!"

"No matter what choice you make in the future, remember the teacher's words. Born in heaven and earth, please have a clear conscience! Before leaving, the teacher will give you another sentence 'Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles'. No matter how you achieve martial arts in the future, you must not lose your knowledge. This is the teacher's only requirement for you!"

Lin Xi was puzzled when he heard this. Why did the teacher say such things? It seems that the teacher has long seen his martial arts cultivation. Why did he not let himself go? Is there any reason for this?

Lin Xi looked up at Zhang Moben, but Zhang Moben closed his eyes slightly and ignored Lin Xi's intentions. He knew that the teacher was unwilling to say it. In the end, Lin Xi had to answer: "Yes, students should keep in mind the teacher's teachings!"

Although Zhang Moben's words were a bit strange, there was no doubt that what he said was for Lin Xi's good. Therefore, Lin Xi didn't do more things to do.

Seeing Lin Xi agreeing, Zhang Moben opened his eyes again. This time, Zhang Moben took a step and was much closer to the two of them. At this moment, he looked unprecedentedly serious and solemn!

"These two books are just right for you, one for one. This thing is not a small matter, so don't show it to others easily in the future!"

Zhang Moben held a book in each hand and handed it to Lin Xi and Ning Caichen. Seeing the book in front of him, the two knew that the teacher had finally passed down the true Taoist tradition of this lineage. I guess the two books recorded the theory of "Guigu Saint".

The two of them respectfully took the book. Both books were not thick, only a few thin pages, and the whole book was not old, and even more like a newly bound one. Lin Xi saw that the book that Zhang Moben sent to him had the words "The Yin Fu of the Book of the Sutra" written on it. However, the words "National Strategy" were only passed to Ning Caichen.

"The "Yin Fu of the Book of the Sutra" and "National Policy" were written by the 'Guigu Saint'. However, the original teacher cannot be passed on to you. These two volumes were copied by the teacher recently. Although they are just copying, they can also attract countless people to fight for. You all know the principle of the guilt of possessing a treasure, so I won't talk about it more."

Zhang Moben handed over the "Benjing Yin Fu" and "National Policy" to both of them and explained solemnly. At the same time, as Lin Xi saw, these two books were indeed newly bound. However, although they were just copying, they were handed down by saints. The value of them can indeed make countless people tempted.

As for why the teacher didn't pass the original version to the two, it was strange that the two of them were not surprised. Because Zhang Moben never mentioned his family background. As the direct descendant of the ancient sage, the Zhang family must also be a big family. Zhang Moben is likely to have a large number of descendants. The original version is naturally passed on to the next head of the family. Judging from the fact that Zhang Moben can copy, the original version must also be in his hands. Then Zhang Moben is undoubtedly the contemporary head of the family!

Lin Xi and Ning Caichen did not open the book, but put it in their arms properly. He praised: "Students remember"

"Okay, go back to see your parents!"

Zhang Moben waved his hand and then turned around and walked towards the inner room. As he turned around, the curtains fell down together. The whole thatched cottage returned to its former appearance again.
Chapter completed!
