Chapter 153: Zuo Mingjun apprentices
"It's almost, it's just that Zuo Mingjun is more eager to worship me as a teacher. August 1st?δΈζη½? ?? (1).?8?1?Z (8)?.COM" Xiao Tao laughed, Zuo Mingjun's careful thinking he had already seen.
"Why are you accepting Zuo Mingjun as an apprentice, this guy is even more gloomy than Du Jianghua, we don't know what he thinks in his heart. Shen Yong still has a grudge against Zuo Mingjun.
"He's not bad, otherwise did you really think it would be so easy to get out last time?" Xiao Tao said.
"Forget it, I don't really like him anyway. Shen Yong said that, and went back to his room to sleep.
"But I don't hate him, and I love his gifts. Xiao Tao said softly, and the corners of his mouth raised a hint of a funny smile.
Indeed, that black jade ring is really a rare and superb magic weapon, not inferior to the Seven Red Copper Coins, and more importantly, the effect of the Black Jade Ring is different from the Seven Red Copper Coins.
Seven red is to exchange gold, so the seven red copper coins to the yang to the yang, is a rare magic weapon in feng shui, can save lives at critical times.
The black jade ring is a gathering of the army's masculine mind, the killing qi of the battlefield, and the qi of the yang is stronger than the seven red copper coins, which can not only take the initiative to dissolve evil, but also be aggressive against the yin and evil, the only drawback is that it is not as peaceful as the seven red copper coins, and will not take the initiative to save lives, once it is used to save lives, the result will be the destruction of jade.
This shortcoming does not hinder the value of the black jade ring, nor does it prevent Xiao Tao from coveting it, but Xiao Tao will not accept the black jade ring casually, because he does not want to accept apprentices casually.
If Zuo Mingjun came to the door in person and respectfully apprenticed, Xiao Tao would accept the black jade ring.
However, Zuo Mingjun obviously couldn't let go of his figure, so he only sent Ao Wuchang to come over to give a gift on his behalf, and the amount of the gift was enough, but Zuo Mingjun's attitude was lacking, Xiao Tao would not accept this kind of apprentice.
As far as the matter of accepting apprentices is concerned, Zuo Mingjun is different from Du Jianghua, Du Jianghua and Xiao Tao are also orphans, Xiao Tao and Du Jianghua have a feeling of being connected to the same disease, and Xiao Tao subconsciously wants to help Du Jianghua.
Moreover, Du Jianghua's talent is very good, he is a good seedling, and Du Jianghua is both righteous and evil, Xiao Tao is unwilling to see Du Jianghua embark on the evil path in the future, so he decided to accept him as an apprentice, and it is easy to restrain him.
And Zuo Mingjun is lonely and arrogant, and he still pays attention to face, so he doesn't worship as a teacher.
Arrogance is very depressed, Zuo Mingjun does not come to the door in person is indeed insincere, Xiao Tao's refusal is also very reasonable, who will accept an apprentice who will not take the master in his eyes in the future? But the young master of the Zuo family is too strong, he can't persuade him, it seems that this matter is going to be yellow.
After going back, Xiao Tao's refusal reciprocated Zuo Mingjun.
"Not moved by money, with backbone. Zuo Mingjun said a word, and then went back to the room to rest.
Early in the morning, Xiao Tao and Shen Yong came to the grove to practice, and Du Jianghua had already practiced there early.
"Master!" Du Jianghua was about to stop, Xiao Tao immediately waved his hand, "Keep practicing, I want to check your progress." β
Du Jianghua didn't dare to slack off, and immediately beat the Bagua Boxing from the first road, the punch was whirring, the action was fierce, Xiao Tao couldn't help nodding, Du Jianghua's boxing progress was much faster than he imagined, and he was really a martial arts genius.
Du Jianghua's Bagua Boxing belongs to the Shaolin system boxing, the full name is "Swimming Bagua Boxing", and it is also a kind of inner boxing.
Bagua boxing is divided into upper gossip, middle gossip, and lower gossip, and the upper, middle, and lower gossip are divided into eight roads, a total of twenty-four roads, Du Jianghua finished playing twenty-four roads, Xiao Tao instructed him and corrected a little mistake in his footsteps.
At this time, Zuo Mingjun entered the grove, walked over lightly, and stood beside him.
Xiao Tao still acted as if nothing had happened, and continued to instruct Du Jianghua, Du Jianghua listened very seriously, and Shen Yong also concentrated on practicing Luohan boxing on the other side, and the three of them turned a blind eye to Zuo Mingjun's existence.
After Xiao Tao finished teaching Du Jianghua, Zuo Mingjun made a move, but Zuo Mingjun's actions surprised everyone.
Zuo Mingjun didn't say a word, knelt down on Xiao Tao's knees, knocked his head on the ground, each knock was loud, got up after three kowtows, took a step forward, knelt down, kowtowed, got up again, knelt down again, and kowtowed again.
Although Jiang Duhua's temperament was relatively cold, Zuo Mingjun's actions still made his eyes widen in surprise, and even Shen Yong, who had a problem with Zuo Mingjun, couldn't help but come over and take a look.
During the whole process, Xiao Tao stood still with his hands in his hands, as if a sect of grandmasters was receiving the worship of the reverent.
After Zuo Mingjun knelt three times and knocked nine times, he had already knelt in front of Xiao Tao, took out a sandalwood box, opened it with both hands, handed it to Xiao Tao's eyes, and said: "I beg the master to accept the disciple as an apprentice!"
Xiao Tao didn't look at the contents of the box, but said lightly: "Raise your head." β
Zuo Mingjun raised his head slowly, but there was no emotion on his face, but his eyes were no longer devoid of emotion, and they were full of piety and pleading.
But that's enough, Xiao Tao doesn't need an expressive face, many people with this kind of face are cunning people, if Zuo Mingjun's face is different from before, Xiao Tao will consider the rejection.
What Xiao Tao needs is the attitude in Zuo Mingjun's eyes, the eyes are the windows of the soul, and the eyes will show whatever they want, which is difficult to fake, especially for a lonely and arrogant person like Zuo Mingjun, he can't fake it.
Xiao Tao had a bottom in his heart, so he continued to say lightly: "I need the real reason for your apprenticeship!"
In fact, last night Zuo Mingjun only let Ao Wuchang go, in fact, he was testing Xiao Tao's morality, as the so-called once a teacher, lifelong father, Zuo Mingjun is cautious on the issue of apprenticeship, and does not want to worship a person who puts money first and has bad moral deeds as a teacher.
Therefore, Zuo Mingjun did not hesitate to use the treasures he bought with a lot of money to test Xiao Tao, if Xiao Tao accepted the black jade ring, Zuo Mingjun would cancel his intention to apprentice to Xiao Tao and find another famous teacher.
As a result, Xiao Tao was not moved by money, which made Zuo Mingjun very satisfied, and he made a firm determination to apprentice to Xiao Tao.
But Xiao Tao needs a reason to apprentice, which makes Zuo Mingjun embarrassed, his own details let Xiao Tao know that it is okay, Shen Yong knows that it is okay, he knows that Shen Yong is Xiao Tao's loyal confidant, but Du Jianghua ......
Zuo Mingjun couldn't help but look at Du Jianghua, and the latter said coldly: "Then I'll avoid it." β
Xiao Tao shook his head and said: "No need, you are my apprentice, and at the same time someone I trust, if Zuo Mingjun is a beginner, maybe you will be the same door in the future." β
Since Xiao Tao spoke, Zuo Mingjun had no doubts at the moment, so he said the reason why he was eager to apprentice.
First, it is naturally Zuo Mingjun's strength to worship Xiao Tao;
The second is that Zuo Yichen, the old lady of the Zuo family, is too old to fight with people anymore, otherwise he will inevitably die once he wins or loses. The Zuo family is now a crumbling situation of being strong and crumbling, and Zuo Mingjun must worship a famous teacher in order to support the Zuo family.
Third, the Zuo family has an old enemy, everything that the Zuo family is doing now is won by the old man Zuo Yichen in a battle thirteen years ago, according to the agreement, in two more years, the old enemy will come to the door again, if no one in their Zuo family can resist, the Zuo family will be finished.
Fourth, Zuo Yichen was warned when he practiced martial arts that he could not teach other people's martial arts privately, even if it was his own son, so from childhood to adulthood, Zuo Mingjun only learned the basic skills with Ao Impermanence, and Ao Impermanence's kung fu itself was not perfect, and Zuo Mingjun did not systematically learn real kung fu.
Zuo Mingjun confessed the predicament at home, but Du Jianghua cast a sympathetic look at him, and Shen Yong also let go of Zuo Mingjun's mustard because of this.
Xiao Tao's face was solemn, and he used the words he had warned Du Jianghua to warn Zuo Mingjun: "Before getting started, I want to say one thing, since you have entered our line, you must abide by the rules, and we don't have too many rules in this line, there are only two, first, you can't bully the weak and kill innocents indiscriminately, and second, you can't commit treason to the enemy, deceive teachers and destroy ancestors." β
Zuo Mingjun also said solemnly: "The disciple swears to abide by the door rules. β
Xiao Tao said in a stern tone: "If you violate these two articles in the future, no matter the ends of the world, I will kill you with my own hands." β
"Disciple must remember!" Zuo Mingjun kowtowed respectfully three times again.
As early as when Zuo Mingjun captured Shen Yong and Xiao Tao went to rescue him, he realized that Zuo Mingjun did not want to target him, but had another purpose. Later, Zuo Mingjun held some small events, Xiao Tao guessed Zuo Mingjun's intention to worship him as a teacher, and Xiao Tao also had a plan in his heart.
Xiao Tao naturally didn't accept Zuo Mingjun as an apprentice casually, mainly because Xiao Tao could see that Zuo Mingjun had the talent to cultivate secret methods, and Xiao Tao wanted to accept an apprentice of secret law talents.
Although Du Jianghua is a genius in martial arts, he lacks the talent to practice secret methods, and Zuo Mingjun's body is not tall, and the realm of martial arts will not be high.
Moreover, because of the old man of the Zuo family, Zuo Yichen, the reputation of the Zuo family is still relatively decent, and Xiao Tao is willing to have a certain relationship with the Zuo family. After all, the Zuo family group is a well-known large enterprise in Linzhou Province, Xiao Tao became Zuo Mingjun's master, and became the backstage of the Zuo familyAt the same time, the Zuo family also became Xiao Tao's backstage, Xiao Tao needs a strong backstage in Linzhou Province.
At present, the people in the rivers and lakes will give Xiao Tao some face for the sake of Shang Yuan Zhenren, but Shang Yuan Zhenren has no news, Xiao Tao is actually alone, without a real strong backstage, and always lacks some confidence.
"Mingjun, let me tell you a brief history of our sect. We are more strict in accepting apprentices, my master is called Shang Yuan Zhenren, he has accepted three apprentices in his life, the first two were killed by his old man personally, I am the third, and I am also a closed disciple of his old man, now although I agree to accept you, but you are just a registered disciple like Du Jianghua, and you are not officially started. After Zuo Mingjun kowtowed three times, Xiao Tao spoke lightly.
Zuo Mingjun nodded and continued to listen to the training, but Xiao Tao didn't say anything more, just told him to get up.
Zuo Mingjun's face flashed with excitement that could not be concealed the moment he got up, and then he respectfully handed over the sandalwood box, and said: "This is the apprentice's meeting gift, please accept it without hesitation." β
