Chapter 226 Apprenticeship
While listening to Ou Qianxie's introduction, Ye Li sized up the two senior brothers.

Niu Qianjin is a little fat, but he doesn't look bloated. On the one hand, he has wide ears and a very simple and honest demeanor.

Yan Fangtong is tall, dark and thin. He looks like a farmer who has been working in the fields for a long time, with the word "simple" written all over his face.

"Ye Li has met Senior Brother Niu and Senior Brother Yan."

After Ou Qianxie introduced the two of them, Ye Li hurriedly greeted them with fists together.

The two also looked at Ye Li and showed a friendly smile. Niu Qianjin said: "Little brother, don't be so polite. Since you have entered the master's gate, we are a family, why are you clasping your fists?"

Yan Fangtong also smiled, and said: "You are welcome, junior brother, we are all one family."

Yan Fangtong didn't seem to be good at words, and he felt dry when he spoke, but Ye Li could feel the sincerity in the other party's heart from his simple eyes.

"Okay, you two hurry up and get ready, Ye Li wants to worship the patriarch."

Ou Qianxie interrupted the conversation of several people and ordered Niu Qianjin and Yan Fangtong to arrive.

The two responded and ran towards a wooden house near the waterfall. Ou Qianxie also greeted An Changsheng and the others, and then led Ye Li to walk in the same direction.

Everyone came to the last big wooden house in the valley. Niu Qianjin and Yan Fangtong had already opened the door of the wooden house. Ye Li glanced inside and found that there were several rows of spiritual tablets in the wooden house.

"Ye Li, we have limited conditions now, so other red tape is saved, you go in with me first to worship the ancestors and the great masters of the past.

After offering incense and tea, you come out with me, and then you bow to me, the ceremony is considered complete. "

Hearing the easy way he said, Niu Qianjin was stunned for a moment, and said: "Master, is it over so easily, without worshiping heaven and earth?"

Ou Qianxie waved his hand and said, "What are you doing so much trouble for? I'll save trouble for you and you too. It's up to the few of us to recognize a master and apprentice. Just pay homage to our ancestors."

Hearing what their master said, Niu Qianjin and Yan Fangtong both responded and hurried to prepare incense and tea.

They are also honest and simple people, as far as they are concerned, as long as Ou Qianxie admits that he has accepted Ye Li as his apprentice, even if they don't perform other rituals, they will still call Ye Li "little brother".

"Ye Li, come in with me."

Ou Qianxie greeted Ye Li, and led him into the wooden house, while An Changsheng and the other three watched from outside with smiles on their faces.

Niu Qianjin and Yan Fangtong quickly found a few teacups and long incense from nowhere, and then followed them into the wooden house.

Entering the room, Ou Qianxie and the others became serious.

"Ye Li, the 130 tablets placed here are all the ancestors and veterans who have made outstanding contributions to the hall during the seven years since the founding of the Foundry Hall, as well as the masters of the past generations.

Before worshiping me, you must worship them first, light incense and offer tea. "

While talking, Niu Qianjin had already handed three sticks of incense to Ou Qianxie, and then to Ye Li three sticks, and finally he and Yan Fangtong also took three sticks each.

After lighting the incense head in his hand on the long-burning lamp, Ou Qianxie explained that he was standing in the front, Ye Li was standing a little behind to his left, and Niu Qianjin and Yan Fangtong were standing in the back.

Ou Qianxie held Changxiang on the heads of the whole country, and said in a loud voice: "All the ancestors of the Foundry Hall, Ou Qianxie, the eighth-generation leader, today accepted another closed disciple, Ye Li.

This son is talented, intelligent, good-natured, diligent and studious, and has the ability to inherit and carry forward my ability of casting tools, so he was introduced into the gate wall. Today, I hereby give an edict to all ancestors. "

After finishing speaking, Ou Qianxie held the long incense and bowed first.

Ye Li behind was still a little dazed, Niu Qianjin patted him on the shoulder lightly, and motioned him to worship together.

Only then did Ye Li come to his senses, and quickly followed Ou Qianxie to bow three times.

After getting up, several people inserted the long incense into the incense burner, and then Niu Qianjin and Yan Fangtong stood beside them holding a cup of tea and a cup of wine.

"Ye Li, you go to your two senior brothers to serve tea and wine, and then offer them in front of the spirit tablets of your ancestors."

Ou Qianxie looked at Ye Li and said.

Ye Li hurried to get the tea and wine, and then enshrined them in front of the ancestor's spiritual tablet.

"Okay, the simplified ceremony is over, you all come out."

Ou Qianxie greeted and walked out of the wooden house first.

After everyone came out, an apprentice had already moved a wooden chair and placed it in the open space next to it.

Yan Fangtong hurriedly brought out another cup of tea from the room next to him.

After sitting on the wooden chair, Ou Qianxie said to Ye Li, "Ye Li, come here."

Ye Li knew that the apprenticeship ceremony was next, but he hadn't experienced it before, so he didn't know what he was going to do.

Hearing Ou Qianxie's greeting at this moment, he hurried to come closer.

Ou Qianxie sat on the chair and said, "Ye Li, I have just informed the ancestors of the casting hall, and now I will formally accept you as a disciple in front of the ancestor's mourning hall."

An Changsheng and the others still stood aside, looking at them with a smile.

Ye Li was stunned, and Yan Fangtong next to him motioned him to kneel down.

Only then did Ye Li come to his senses, and hurriedly bowed in front of Ou Qianxie, saying: "Master, please accept my apprentice's respect."

Although I have never been a teacher, I have always heard of it to some extent. The storyteller in the teahouse will occasionally tell some ancient stories about the rivers and lakes.

He also followed the routine in the storyteller's mouth and said what he just said.

Then he quickly kowtowed three times on the ground, which is a formal apprenticeship etiquette.

Afterwards, Yan Fangtong handed the teacup to Ye Li, and Ye Li quickly knelt down and raised the teacup over his head, and handed it to Ou Qianxie.

"Master, please drink tea."

Ye Li lowered his head and said.

Ou Qianxie took the teacup with a smile, took a symbolic sip, and said, "Alright, Ye Li, this apprenticeship ceremony is over, get up quickly, you have become my fourth disciple now. "

"Congratulations, Master, and welcome to Fourth Junior Brother."

Niu Qianjin and Yan Fangtong said in unison beside them.

It was only then that Ye Li came to his senses, and hurriedly stood up.

He himself was quite happy, although he didn't want to be a teacher at first, but after going through a series of ceremonies just now, he himself had a sense of identity with himself.

Seeing the smiling faces of his master and senior brothers now, he naturally laughed along with him.

"Qian Xie, congratulations again, you are blessed with a good student.

We old brothers are all here, seeing that you have accepted a new apprentice, naturally we want to send you a congratulatory gift. "

The three of An Changsheng also came over, An Changsheng looked at Ye Li and Ou Qianxie and said with a smile.

Ou Qianxie nodded solemnly, and said, "Of course you have to give him something. When you were recruiting apprentices, you often took things away from me."
