Ye Hong looked careless all the way, sometimes stopping to look at the scenery, sometimes falling to the ground, finding a stone to sit down and rest, but it was precisely because of this that Zhang Zhao was given the opportunity to catch up with her.

After another half an hour or so, Zhang Zhao finally saw a mountain garden built in the valley.

The courtyard is not big, only about 1,000 square meters, sitting in the north and facing south, backed by the mountain, facing the stream, it can be said to be an excellent holy place for self-cultivation and self-cultivation.

There are flowers and trees in the valley, as well as cattle, sheep and horses, whether these are wild or domestic, Zhang Zhao has no intention of caring about them, but he feels that the poultry here are not ordinary poultry, they all have spirituality.

Ye Hong fell to the ground, sat down by the pond in the courtyard, and used her slender hand to stir the water in the pond.

Zhang Zhao was fascinated by this scene, such a beautiful master is really rare.

But he quickly shook these chaotic thoughts out of his mind and stood quietly in place, waiting for Ye Hong's dispatch.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Hong was still motionless, and continued to look at the fish in the water.

Zhang Zhao and Lin Sijing stood behind her awkwardly, not daring to move.

"Go, go. ”

Finally, Lin Sijing couldn't bear the embarrassment of silence and pushed Zhang Zhao over.

Helpless, Zhang Zhao had no choice but to be cheeky and speak first: "Master, what should we do now?"

Ye Hong teased the water with one hand, and her expression was as soft as the water in this pool, giving people a sense of security.

But it is this kind of feeling that others seem to be at ease, but Zhang Zhao is like sitting on pins and needles, and the whole person does not feel particularly good.

"At 10 o'clock, it's a good day. ”

Ye Hong's answer was very simple, just said these words, but it revealed two very important messages, that is, three o'clock and ten o'clock, and good luck.

Zhang Zhao looked at the time, and a cold sweat broke out instantly on his back, because it was already three o'clock, and it was already halfway through.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhao was smart and knew that Ye Hong was waiting for the auspicious time period of three o'clock for the apprenticeship ceremony for a long time, so he hurriedly rushed to the side of the place that seemed to be the main hall, hurriedly took out two water cups, pinched some tea leaves and poured water.

"Where's Master?"

When Zhang Zhao returned to the courtyard, this Ye Hong suddenly disappeared, and Lin Sijing's appearance didn't seem to be too clear how she disappeared.

Seeing that the auspicious time was about to arrive, Zhang Zhao looked left and right, and finally saw Ye Hong sitting there on the seat of the main hall.

"Let's go!"

After calling Lin Sijing, the two ran to the main hall together.

Ye Hong put away her old smile and became serious, she sat upright on the chair, her body was straight and straight, and on the wall behind her, there was a portrait of the ancestor hanging on the wall.

Seeing that the time had come, Zhang Zhao held the teacup in both hands and knelt down on Ye Hong's knees.

"Master, please use tea. ”

Zhang Zhao just held the teacup, but Ye Hong didn't move. Feeling strange, Zhang Zhao turned his head and took a sneak look, only to see Lin Sijing standing in place with an expectant face, not understanding what the situation was now.

"Bring it to Master. ”

Zhang Zhao gave Lin Sijing a look, looked at her for a long time, and then reacted.

Zhang Zhao was still two steps away from Ye Hong, according to the situation, he should have asked the disciple next to him to help serve tea, but he didn't expect Lin Sijing to not even understand the basic etiquette of this crime, which made Zhang Zhao anxious.

"Oh, Master, please use tea. ”

Ye Hong's expression had gradually become angry, she glanced at Lin Sijing, took the teacup, and then Zhang Zhao solemnly kowtowed to her three times, and said, "Master is above, and I will be worshiped by the apprentice." ”

Ye Hong held the teacup in her left hand, pinched out her orchid finger with her right hand and opened the lid, scratched aside the floating tea leaves, and took a sip of tea.

After putting down the teacup, Ye Hong said solemnly: "I, Ye Hong, have never accepted a closed disciple for hundreds of years, you are the first, and you may be the only one." When you enter my door, you must respect my teachings, remember the rules, and cultivate with peace of mind. I won't say anything else, cultivating well and cultivating badly, that is a matter related to my Ye Hong's face, if you don't work hard to cultivate, I will definitely punish you. ”

"Yes, Master, the apprentice promises to cultivate with peace of mind from now on, break into the hall, and bring glory to the master. ”

"Humph!"

Ye Hong snorted coldly and said again: "Now in front of your ancestral master, you swear to the Heavenly Dao, remember my Sword Gate and my Ye Hong's door rules. ”

As he spoke, Ye Hong waved his sleeves, and a piece of paper full of words appeared in front of Zhang Zhao's eyes.

As soon as he saw this, Zhang Zhao's head was big, and it was densely packed with hundreds of rules, if he used all of them to swear to the Heavenly Dao, would he still live in the future?

Although he was annoyed, but the matter had come to this, and it was too late to turn back, so Zhang Zhao began to swear and read the door rules on the paper one by one.

"First, respect the master, the core secret art in the door will never be passed on. ”

Second, do not do things that deceive teachers and destroy ancestors; third, do not use the skills you have cultivated to persecute others, and fourth........

Zhang Zhao read it one by one, and when he read the thirteenth article, you must not have a relationship with the same door, and as soon as she was halfway through the conversation, she was stopped by Ye Hong.

"Okay, don't read the rest of it. ”

"Yes, Master. ”

"Master Zu is above, if the disciple dares to offend, he will be buried under the Heavenly Dao, and his soul will be scattered. ”

After taking the poisonous oath, Ye Hong recognized his first apprentice, waved his hand, and said softly: "Get up." ”

After Zhang Zhao got up, Lin Sijing hurriedly knelt down again, picked up the teacup and was about to worship Ye Hong as a teacher.

Seeing this, Ye Hong shook her head and said in a cold voice: "I brought you back just to see that you have a good relationship, and I am reluctant to separate, not to accept you as an apprentice." ”

After saying this, Ye Hong turned around and walked into the house, leaving Zhang Zhao and Lin Sijing standing in place with embarrassed expressions.

Looking at the direction in which Ye Hong left, Lin Sijing blinked dryly, at a loss.

Zhang Zhao is also a head two big, I heard that Ye Hong has a strange personality before, but this is too weird, don't say anything, just let others understand. It's thanks to her own understanding, so if she doesn't realize it right, will she come over and beat herself?

"Senior brother, what should I do now?"

After being in contact with Ye Hong for such a short time, Lin Sijing became a little afraid of her, and she didn't dare to speak too loudly.

"I don't know, if you don't go out to cultivate, it's okay anyway. ”

"Hmm. ”

Lin Sijing quietly glanced at the inner room, and then nodded.

Walking out of the main hall, in order not to disturb Ye Hong, Zhang Zhao had to follow Lin Sijing to the edge of the stream outside the courtyard.

Last time, Zhang Zhao thought about integrating the three martial arts into one, and now it's time to calm down and study.
