Chapter 1088: Take A Disciple For His Shifu
Translator: LawEditor: Hitesh
Outside the headquarters, Ji Tian, Ji Di, Ji Xuan, Ji Huang and a group of disciples from Ji Hao’s Palace of Dao had long streamers holding in their hands. The streamers glowed with starlight, which had been transforming into sharp sword light beams, dazzling across the sky, covering the entire headquarters.
Yi Di’s warriors nervously stood outside the headquarters, with their eyes fixed on the extra large tent of the headquarters. If Yi Di didn’t bring twelve trusted Divine Magi warrior commanders into the tent with him, these warriors of Yi Di might have already risen up and marched into the tent.
Ji Hao ordered his guards to seal the headquarters with a magic formation. Inside the tent, were Ji Hao, Yi Di and a few others. From any angle, this looked like a trap, and Yi Di’s warriors were surely nervous about it.
Inside the tent, a jade incense burner table was placed in the middle. A nine meters long, three meters wide jade board floated above the table. On the thin jade board, Yu Yu’s full-length portrait was carved with smooth lines.
Ji Hao made this portrait of Yu Yu himself, for his disciples to worship.
On the jade board, Yu Yu was wearing a red robe and treading on a cloud, with the blueprint of his sword formation drifting above his head, and the four swords hovering around him. He carried a vividly red wine calabash with his left hand, and his right hand raised. The forefinger and middle finger were straightened, pointing at the sky. A faint smile was showing on his handsome face, looking extremely otherworldly.
On the right side of the jade board was a line of thumb-sized ancient characters — Master Shifu Yu Yu. Those characters were inlaid with powdered gold mixed with cinnabar, and were glowing rather brightly.
A small jade incense burner was placed in the middle of the table. Ji Hao lit three handmade ambergris incense sticks, held them in his hands, and silently stood in front of the jade board. He prayed for a while, and next, put the incense sticks into the burner.
Yi Di did exactly what Ji Hao did. Unaccustomedly, he lit three incense sticks and put them into the burner. Then, following Ji Hao, he kowtowed for three times towards Yu Yu’s portrait, then remained kneeling, without making any other move.
Ji Hao stood up and picked up a long jade ruler, heavily whipping on Yi Di’s shoulder.
”Yi Di, our sect follows clear and strict rules, yet, every rule is reasonable. You shall slowly get used to the other rules, but I am now asking you one question… Respect our Shifu and never betray, can you do that?”
Yi Di kneeled on the ground, hands rested on his lap as he responded with a bright voice, ”I can.”
Ji Hao whipped again on his shoulder with that ruler and continued asking, ”Be friendly to your brothers and sisters, care and protect younger generations of the sect member, can you do that?”
Yi Di seriously nodded. Led by Ji Hao, he had already sunken in an indescribable solemn and sacred atmosphere.
Except for all kinds of scared offering ceremonies, the alliance of human clans didn’t have much of rules or complicated etiquettes to follow. Even in the entrance ceremony for apprentices of the Magi Palace, a few kowtows would be the whole process.
Ji Hao lit the incense so solemnly; he kneeled, kowtowed, and seriously performed a whole series of rituals. By doing this, he instantly pulled Yi Di into a strange, totally novel state. Yi Di didn’t know who Yu Yu was, but all these formalities Ji Hao did clearly told him that Priest Yu Yu was a big deal. His sect was a big deal, and all his disciples were amazing!
Added with Ji Hao’s individual strength and all those shocking spell symbol arrows he provided, Yi Di had already started to admire Yu Yu and his sect, even before he formally became a disciple of Yu Yu.
