Chapter 139: Master Zu
"I said, I won't help, I only accept apprentices, if you don't agree, you can leave!"
Zhang Xiaoqiang, who is not apprenticed, doesn't care, he still has to go to class now, and it's not appropriate to stay outside for a long time, just thinking that he can find a way to open the door as soon as possible, it's best to let Lao Tang do it, if he apprentices, when he can open the lock himself, I'm afraid it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaoqiang asked, "If you want to be a teacher, when will I be able to leave the school?"
Old Tang's eyes widened: "Three hundred and sixty lines, each line is endless learning, there is no end." β
Old Tang didn't answer the question, Zhang Xiaoqiang had to ask in another way: "Old Tang, you misunderstood, do I mean, if I worship you as a teacher, how long will it take to have the ability to open the mechanical lock." β
"It depends on your personal learning ability, at least a month, your head is not bright, your comprehension ability is poor, it is useless for a long time, and you can only open a simple spring lock after learning for a lifetime. β
At least for a month, this will definitely not work, so he adopted a compromise method: "Donald, you see if this will work, I promise to worship you as a teacher, but my time is relatively tight, because I still have to go to class, you help me open the door." β
"You're quite good at bargaining, if it weren't for your blood transfusion and tobacco and alcohol for me, I would have promised you, boy, you can be regarded as a big bargain, learn my craft, get my true biography, and you will be the number one person in the rivers and lakes in the future." β
"Thank you for the compliment!" said the praise, but in his heart he didn't think so, so he opened a lock and returned the number one person in the rivers and lakes, this old Tang is too good at boasting.
Three days later, Lao Tang was discharged from the hospital, and the two had already finished discussing, holding an apprenticeship ceremony tonight, and going to Longhu Community with Zhang Xiaoqiang tomorrow.
And three days ago, Su Qing'er had already left.
Zhongtang Village, Lao Tang's home.
Lao Tang dragged out a black wooden box under the bed, the wooden box was not locked, after opening, Lao Tang took out a painting from it, Lao Tang opened the painting, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw clearly what was painted on the painting, this is a color ink figure painting, on which is painted a man wearing ancient costumes.
Carefully hanging this painting on the wall of the living room, Lao Tang placed a lot of fruit in front of the painting, then kowtowed, burned incense, and the whole process was full of awe.
Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but wonder, who is the man in the portrait?
"Boy, come and kowtow. At this time, Old Tang said.
"Oh. In order to go smoothly in the future, Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't think about it, walked over and kowtowed three times to the portrait.
"Get up!" Old Tang patted Zhang Xiaoqiang's shoulder and pointed to the portrait: "He is the ancestor of our Pegasus Gate, Hou Cheng." β
Pegasus Gate? This name is too strange, Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but want to laugh, but when he saw Lao Tang's serious face, he forcibly held back.
"Do you know the origin of our Pegasus Gate?"
"I don't know. Zhang Xiaoqiang shook his head.
"Now you are still the descendant of Pegasus, then I will tell you, our Pegasus Gate originated in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, our ancestor is called Hou Cheng, he is a brave and warlike general under the general Lu Bu, when Lu Bu was injured by wine, he issued a ban on alcohol, but Hou Cheng did not know, to Lu Bu offered a beauty, was Lu Bu hit fifty boards, and later Cao Cao's army besieged Lu Bu's Xiapi, the ancestor was not actively preparing for Lu Bu, but indulged in the beauty of Diao Chan was very dissatisfied, so he united with Song Xian, Wei Xu and others, ready to surrender the playgroundγ β
In order to show sincerity, Master Zu planned to give Lu Bu's red rabbit horse to Cao Cao, and rode Lu Bu's red rabbit horse to the east gate of Xiapi that night. β
The three of them went to Cao Cao in this way, gave Cao Cao the red rabbit horse, and said that they would serve him in the future. β
Speaking of this, Lao Tang's face was full of pride, and he even stretched out his thumb: "Master Zu's strategy is really good, it's really wonderful, it's really croaking, after throwing himself to Cao Cao, he was reused by Cao Cao, and even Cao Cao was happy, and he had the idea of making him the commander of the three armies." β
However, Master Zu was tired of this kind of fighting, killing and killing, and later resigned and returned to his hometown not long after. Later, Xiapi was captured, Lu Bu became a prisoner, although the ancestor did not participate in the battle of Xiapi, but the reason why Lu Bu was invincible, in addition to the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, but also because of the red rabbit horse that traveled thousands of miles a day under his crotch, without the red rabbit horse, it was equivalent to Lu Bu lost his right arm, so the credit for capturing Xiapi also has a share of our ancestors. β
"Then how did Pegasus Gate come about?" Zhang Xiaoqiang became more and more confused the more he listened, and he couldn't help asking.
"You listen to me finish speaking, at that time, the ancestor stole the red rabbit horse, in the entire Central Plains region to wear the boiling, but by those thieves named the thief of the saint, and later the ancestor due to livelihood problems, in order to eat, it is worth doing the business of stealing, but he has never missed the time, and there are many disciples, the ancestor set up a sect, and this is how the Pegasus Gate came. β
"And I am the seventy-second generation descendant of Pegasus Gate, and you are the seventy-third generation!"
Old Tang stroked his beard and continued: "But you remember, after learning the real skills, you can't do things that violate the law, I am a living example." β
As he spoke, Old Tang's right hand stretched out, and Zhang Xiaoqiang saw clearly that his right hand only had four fingers.
"On the day I was released from prison, I cut it myself, I was dragged to open a bank safe, and I was sentenced to more than twenty years. β
"Oh. β
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded and agreed, but in his heart he scoffed at the origin of Pegasus Gate that Lao Tang said, and he didn't believe it at all.
What are you kidding, the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty is now more than 1,800 years ago, Pegasus Gate has been passed down to the present, and it has only been passed down for seventy-two generations, is this a bit impossible, and there is another point, Hou Cheng He knows that there is indeed a matter of stealing the red rabbit horse and offering it to Cao Cao, but in the end, people died on the battlefield, these history books are recorded, but what did the old Tang just say Hou Cheng is tired of fighting and killing life, and he has returned to the field, which is really ridiculous.
But no matter what, Zhang Xiaoqiang finally persuaded Lao Tang to be willing to do this favor.
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Xiaoqiang took Lao Tang to the Longhu Community, and the two lived in a rented house on the first floor.
During this period, Wang Wenjing and Tang Kexin called many times, but Zhang Xiaoqiang did not answer. Instead, I kept paying attention to the black sedan in the parking lot of the community.
On this day, the black sedan came back from outside, and a young man got out of the car and entered the third unit of No. 5, that is, the floor where Zhang Xiaoqiang rented a house, Zhang Xiaoqiang followed behind the young man, and after seeing the other party to the sixth floor, he took out the key to open the door and enter the house.
