Chapter 67: The Solicitation of the Heads of the Family
"You've been in the business for a few months, you should know what kind of concept the apprenticeship inside the door is, right?" Xiao Yi looked at Chen Ming's appearance, so he tried to ease the atmosphere, "Don't stand here stupidly, let's get something first, and then find a place to sit down and talk while eating......"
"Well, I didn't know when I first came...... Later I knew. Chen Ming nodded. Looking back, it was only more than ten days since I came, and when I saw Xiao Yi coming back, I went over as soon as possible, hoping to worship him.
At that time, Xiao Yi said that he was not qualified to accept apprentices, and he even thought that this was the other party perfunctory. Later, I learned more about what 'apprenticeship qualification' meant.
The disciples of the Five Tiger Sect, after assessing their martial arts and character, confirmed that they have the qualifications to walk the rivers and lakes, so they were awarded the badge of the sect, and reported to the relevant state departments, and the disciples who obtained the 'chivalrous certificate' were 'disciples'.
After three to five years of walking, the disciples have a thorough understanding of their own martial arts, and after passing the assessment of the sect, they are qualified to accept apprentices, and they are allowed to recruit disciples who have not graduated as apprentices.
Once the disciple is accepted, the master has to bear a part of the disciple's cultivation resources, up to seventy percent, until the disciple leaves the teacher. After the disciple leaves the teacher, if he has doubts about the martial arts, he can get guidance from the master for free, on the other hand, the master is in difficulty, and the disciple needs to be filial piety, just like filial piety to the elders.
In the final analysis, many middle-aged disciples accept apprentices for the purpose of having one or two disciples to provide for their old age and send them to their deaths, while inheriting their own martial arts concepts and schools. As a price, cultivate disciples to become talents, and teach the martial arts they have learned without reservation, and when the disciples encounter danger, they will also stand up to defend their disciples, this is the master!
"But, senior brother already has the qualifications to accept apprentices?" After the two found a table and sat down, Chen Ming looked at Xiao Yi suspiciously, if he remembered correctly, the first time the two met, I am afraid that it was his teacher assessment task.
After a few months of qualification, you will be qualified to accept apprentices...... Think about it and think it's unlikely.
"I ...... Of course not!" Xiao Yi said with a smile, "In the final analysis, it is to book your disciple. Martial arts are passed on to you for free, and at the same time, I will also bear about 30% of the resources, until I officially obtain the 'apprentice qualification' to accept your entry wall. I'm sure it won't be too long, I'll get it in a year or two!"
"Is this kind of thing allowed in the door?" Chen Ming's expression was a little strange.
"Hehe, you're right, it's generally not allowed. But if the object is you, the head of the house has approved it once. Xiao Yi smiled, then looked left and right, and confirmed that no one was paying attention here, so he approached Chen Ming and said in a low voice, "To tell you the truth, my father-in-law intends to use my relationship with you and the master-apprentice relationship to entrap you."
It is not denied that the father-in-law has changed more and more since he became the head. In the past, it was always said that a gentleman was frank and open, but in recent years, he has always considered the gains and losses of interests first, and then made a decision. Perhaps in the end, it is the head of the control faction that these changes are inevitable......
I am not only his righteous son, but also his apprentice, and I am reasonable, even if I don't want to, I have to do it. But in the end, it's up to you to decide whether you want it or not, and I won't force you...... This is my filial piety and righteousness!"
The matter of pre-accepting apprentices has never appeared in the door, and Chen Ming can know it after a little investigation. So instead of making him suspicious, it's better to just spread everything out...... may be a little sorry for his father-in-law, after all, he emphasized that he must win Chen Ming.
"As far as the relationship between the two of us is concerned, is it really good that you are so righteous to me?" Chen Ming said with a smile.
"As a chivalrous warrior, you must always have your own morality that you need to adhere to. I can't refuse my father's orders, but you are also my junior brother, and I don't want the relationship between you and me to become utilitarian and fake, which will also make me very uncomfortable. Xiao Yi's attitude was very firm.
"Can I think about it a little bit?" Chen Ming thought for a moment, and if he was asked to make a decision now, it would be a little too sudden. In fact, he didn't expect that the head would pay so much attention to him.
"Yes, after thinking about it, you can come to me at any time......" Xiao Yi nodded, and then got up to leave.
Not long after Xiao Yi left, Yang Xiong came over with a middle-aged woman. The two had actually been on the side for a while, but they didn't want to disturb the conversation between the two before, and now they came over: "Introduction, this is my mother." ”
"Hello Auntie!" Chen Ming hurriedly got up to say hello, but he didn't expect Yang Xiong's mother to be so old, at least fifty years old.
"Okay, this child is really well-behaved...... the woman smiled, "My name is Huang Dongmei, just call me Aunt Huang." My silly boy is in the door, thanks to you for taking care of it. ”
"Wherever I am, Yang Xiong also takes care of me a lot. Chen Ming hurriedly replied.
"This stupid boy from my family came out to apprentice, and because of the relationship between the world and martial arts, we can't come to see him often. In the future, he is in the door, I hope you can take care of him more, I thank you!" Mother Yang sighed, and then solemnly bowed her head to Chen Ming to thank her. The family is poor, and there is really nothing to give, only this humble 'thank you' can be taken out.
"Auntie, you don't have to ...... like this" Seeing this, Chen Ming hurriedly helped her up, "Yang Xiong is my friend, besides, if something really happens, it is estimated that we will help each other, right?"
"Yes, yes, we are friends, and it is right to help each other. Yang Xiong hurriedly said.
"Then I'm relieved...... By the way, you talk, I'll go for a walk. Mother Yang smiled when she heard this, then got up and left this place for the young. She knew very well that with her as an adult, Chen Ming estimated that she would be very restrained.
"My mother was a little too worried about me...... Don't be weird!" Yang Xiong watched her leave, breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered to Chen Ming.
"Mother, you should be very concerned about your children, right?" Chen Ming shook his head, "Actually, I really envy you." ”
"Probably......" Yang Xiong was also a little embarrassed, "By the way, what did Senior Brother Xiao tell you just now?" I see that your brows were furrowed at that time. ”
"Am I so obvious?" Chen Ming was a little surprised, but quickly calmed down, and then told Yang Xiong in a low voice about the conversation with Xiao Yi just now, "Actually, I ...... just now."
"I see, you kid is really enviable!" Yang Xiong looked at Chen Ming with some unhappiness, "The head of the sect actually asked his true disciple to come and woo you...... In other words, you don't know about the fringe benefits of accepting apprentices, do you?"
"Well, I've been in the business for so long, and I still know this. Chen Ming nodded. According to the rules, only inner disciples are qualified to accept disciples. Ordinary disciples aside, if the true disciples received are not inner disciples, they can be admitted as inner disciples exceptionally.
And Xiao Yi is the true disciple of the head, that is, one of the candidates for the head. If Chen Ming is accepted by him as a true disciple, one day he will successfully become the head, and Chen Ming will also be one of the candidates for the head.
I don't blame Yang Xiong, after knowing this matter, he will be so envious, and if he puts it on anyone, he will probably be envious!
