Outside the gate of the ancient mansion, Gu Ming accompanied the chief eunuch of the Yin and Yang Prison out of the mansion, and after seeing the chief eunuch get into the carriage and leave, he was originally full of smiles, his face suddenly sank, and he walked into the courtyard gate quickly.

"Taiyi, the master is very kind to you, if you were someone else, you would have been drained of your spiritual power and thrown to feed the dogs, so the senior brother advises you to explain things clearly, and it is good to have less of these flesh and skin suffering. A young man held a long whip in his hand and stared coldly at Taiyi, who was covered in wounds, and at this time he was tied to the cross.

Gu Ming, the demon refiner who is famous in Kyoto, although he has many apprentices under his name, there are only three people who can really be called his apprentices, namely the senior brother Xiao Lan, the second senior brother Chongming and Taiyi.

Xiao Lan has been practicing outside for a long time and rarely returns to Kyoto City, although he is a demon refiner whose strength is second only to Gu Ming, but he has not been recognized and favored by Gu Ming, of course, this is also inseparable from the fact that they are not harmonious.

The personalities of the two masters and apprentices are very different, if it weren't for Gu Ming's promise to accept the only son of the Xiao family as an apprentice, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to tolerate such an apprentice who has been against him all the year round, and if he were someone else, he would have been expelled from the master long ago.

And Xiao Lan also knew that he couldn't get along peacefully with this master, but it was impossible not to live in the mansion, once he moved out of the ancient mansion, in a place like Kyoto City, he didn't know how much trouble he would cause, so he simply used the reason of cultivation and did not return to Kyoto City all year round.

Let's talk about the second apprentice Chongming, he is Gu Ming's disciple who only entered the door three years after accepting Xiao Lan, in addition to all kinds of dissatisfaction with Xiao Lan, the most important thing is Chongming's unremitting apprenticeship, plus this young man also has a certain talent, Gu Ming accepted the second apprentice.

Speaking of Chongming's apprenticeship, it was not a small news in Kyoto City at that time, a young man from other places, on the first day of coming to Kyoto City, he rushed to the gate of the ancient mansion and said that he wanted to apprentice, this kind of yellow-haired boy who did not know the height of the sky and the height of the earth came to apprentice, I don't know how many people will appear at the gate of the ancient mansion a day, so at the beginning, whether it was the ancient mansion or the nobles who had nothing to do in Kyoto City, they did not take it to heart.

However, for several days in a row, this young man would appear at the gate of the ancient mansion on time every morning, and the biggest difference between him and other people who came to apprentice was that no matter how the people in the ancient mansion insulted and even moved, he always smiled and didn't seem to care about these things at all.

Generally speaking, after two or three days of suffering, these apprentices either gave up their apprenticeship, or they couldn't bear to start with the people of the ancient mansion, and as a result, as you can imagine, they were all beaten half to death and thrown on the side of the street, and the patrol team turned a blind eye, as if they didn't know it at all.

Chongming's persistence and different performance from ordinary people slowly attracted the attention of Gu Ming, usually, Gu Ming would generally ignore those who apprenticed to the teacher and directly board the carriage and leave the ancient mansion, once someone stepped forward, they would be beaten half to death by the subordinates of the ancient mansion.

And that day, after Gu Ming walked out of the courtyard gate, he walked straight to Chongming, and slapped him on the chest without saying a word, Chongming, who was not psychologically prepared, was shocked by the palm force and flew several meters away, and several other apprentices around him were so frightened that their faces changed, and they retreated to a place five meters away.

After Gu Ming slapped his palm, he did not leave, but quietly looked at Chongming who fell to the ground, only to see him get up from the ground with difficulty, coughed twice, and even blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, and his expression was a little painful, but he still squeezed out a smile and bowed respectfully to Gu Ming, "Thank you, Lord Xie Gu, teach me." ”

"Come to my house today. After seeing Chongming's reaction, the silent Gu Ming finally spoke the first sentence to the person who came to apprentice for the first time, and threw a small medicine bottle towards him, and a sound of surprise suddenly sounded around him.

"This is a pill for internal injuries, take it quickly. After Gu Ming finished speaking, he got into the carriage without looking back, and the carriage gradually disappeared into the distance amid everyone's surprise.

At this point, Chongming finally got his wish and became Gu Ming's second apprentice, and many people also believe that Gu Ming's palm is actually to test Chongming, to see how he will react, it is obvious that Chongming's reaction satisfies Gu Ming.

However, Chongming didn't think that his master's palm was just to test his reaction, the master obviously did it because he was interested in himself, and that also proved that he intended to accept apprentices, since he was an apprentice, then talent and spiritual power were indispensable, and that palm was testing his spiritual power!

After Chongming entered the master's door, he soon discovered the fact that there was not harmony between the master and the senior brother, of course he knew what this meant, Gu Ming only had two apprentices, since he couldn't get along with the big apprentice, then all his focus was bound to be on the other apprentice, that is to say, Chongming could get more opportunities from the master, whether it was the improvement of strength or the future, it was limitless.

However, although Chongming is smart and his talent is not bad, he is still a big step behind the extremely talented senior brother, no matter how hard he tries, even if he can shorten the gap with the senior brother, he can't reach the realm of the senior brother, let alone surpass him. Fortunately, Gu Ming doesn't like the senior brother, even if he is not as good as the senior brother, the master still has more preference for himself after all, that is to say, in the future, whether it is the master's status in Kyoto or everything in the ancient mansion, it may become his own bag.

Speaking of Gufu, I have to mention here that although Gu Ming has a noble status, he has no wives and concubines at home, let alone children who can inherit his mantle, and it is in this way that he has the intention of passing on the mantle to his apprentices.

When Chongming thought that everything about his master would become his own sooner or later, Gu Ming didn't know where to bring back a little guy and told the whole mansion that this was his third apprentice, Taiyi, and the last apprentice he received in this life.

At first, Chongming didn't pay much attention to this little point, after all, his status had stabilized, but a series of behaviors after Gu Ming made him have to strengthen his guard against this little junior brother.

First of all, Gu Ming announced that Taiyi would live in the ancient mansion as his successor candidate, which seemed to outsiders to be a competition between three apprentices, but in fact it was just a competition between Chongming and Taiyi, because Chongming didn't take Xiao Lan to heart at all.

Everything that Chongming has carefully managed in the past two years, as well as his beautiful dreams, were shattered at the moment when Taiyi appeared, why would the master spoil a little kid who was only eleven or twelve years old? In terms of talent, Taiyi is not as good as Xiao Lan, and in terms of ability to handle things, he is not as good as himself, why can he get so much love from the master?!

"It seems that you still don't want to say it, then don't blame the senior brother for being ruthless!" Chongming turned the dissatisfaction and grievances that had accumulated in his heart over the years into strength, held the long whip, and pulled it out fiercely......
