Chapter 181: Bajiquan (I)
"Come on, young man, that old gentleman has been waiting there for a long time, just waiting for you, he just wants to talk to you."
After walking into the box, Director Xiao greeted with a smile.
"yes, I know." Yi Yang nodded, it was difficult for him to calm down for a while, because he felt very surprised, he didn't expect that it was the old man who was waiting to meet him here.
Although Yi Yang had never met the old man in front of him before, he naturally knew each other, and looking at the whole of China, who didn't know him.
"Then let's go over." Curator Xiao nodded, smiled happily, and then he and the middle-aged man who looked like an official walked over with him towards the old man who was sitting there watching.
Soon they walked in front of the old man, and Yi Yang and Curator Xiao stood there respectfully together.
"Director, the young man you want to see is here." Curator Xiao greeted with a smile on his face.
The old man was watching seriously, and when Yi Yang and the others approached lightly, he was still immersed in the world inside, and he didn't notice it.
"Coming?" When he heard Curator Xiao's greeting, he noticed it and raised his head to look.
It was a wrinkled, very thin face, but it looked red and in good spirits.
There is no doubt that the old man who appeared in front of Yi Yang's eyes at this moment was very kind, giving people an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
"Hello grandpa." When the old man saw him, Yi Yang hurriedly nodded and bent over, and politely said hello, the other party was about the same age as his grandfather, so he called it so, so he felt much closer.
"Hello." The old man gently put down the book in his hand, looked at Yi Yang with a smile, and said in a gentle voice, "You are the young man who discovered the Peking Man ruins, right?" ”
Yi Yang nodded lightly and replied, "Well, I found it by accident, but in fact, I didn't find it alone, I and my two friends found it on that mountain." ”
Naturally, he would not forget about Bai Wenchao and Lu Shuangshuang, and the two of them also contributed to this matter.
"I know." The old man smiled and nodded, "Very remarkable! ”
"Sit down, sit down and let's have a good talk." Immediately, he warmly beckoned Yi Yang to take a seat.
Yi Yang sat down as he said, but Director Xiao and the official still stood there respectfully, watching the two of them talk eagerly with a smile on their faces.
Before coming here, although Yi Yang also guessed that the mysterious person was not small, he should be a big person, but he didn't expect that person to be this old man, the other party Ri Liwan, actually took time out of his busy schedule to come to him and chat with him, which naturally made people feel honored, and Yi Yang was flattered.
"Do you know, young man?" The old man smiled and said, "You have done a great job this time! The fossilized bones of Peking Man found are really perfect, and make up for the lack of understanding of human beings at that time. I heard that you are an expert, very good vision, then you must also know, in the past, our country excavated a Peking skull, are relatively well preserved, but unfortunately in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was robbed by the Japanese, and the whereabouts are still unknown, which is a great regret for the development of our country's cultural relics and archaeology! Luckily, you've found another Peking Man site, and you've found an intact skeleton, and it's good to have this, and it's perfect! This is all your credit, so the country should thank you and reward you! ”
As he spoke, he laughed heartily, and it was evident that he was very happy.
"Nope." Yi Yang shook his head and said modestly, "The credit belongs to everyone, we just found it by chance." ”
"Don't be modest." The old man shook his head solemnly and said, "If you don't find out, then others may not find out." It was buried in that mountain, and it was very likely that no one would find it for years, ten years, or even a hundred years. Can you tell me how you discovered the Pekingese Cave? ”
Yi Yang nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes." ”
At that moment, he told each other about himself and Bai Wenchao that they had found Beijingers on the mountain.
The old man listened attentively, and after listening to them, he couldn't help but praise them, praising them for their good eyesight and very exploratory spirit.
Next, the old man and Yi Yang talked about some other things, nothing more than about Yi Yang's work and some things at home.
An old man and a young man, the two talked eloquently and chatted very much.
After nearly two hours, the old man said goodbye to Yi Yang because of other important things, and Yi Yang sent him away in a car.
"That's great!"
After talking, Yi Yang was excited and excited in his heart, this matter was finally not in vain, and it was greatly affirmed by the country, if the country didn't pay attention to it, the director would not take time out of his busy schedule to meet him and chat with him for so long.
Later, Yi Yang returned to the guest room, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep that night, but fortunately, when he woke up the next day, he still had enough sleep and was in good spirits.
"Xiaochao, someone came to me after you slept last night." Yi Yang said triumphantly to Bai Wenchao.
"Who is it? What did I tell you? Can I help you? Bai Wenchao asked repeatedly, looking a little surprised.
Yi Yang shook his head and said, "It's nothing, he just looked for a chat, and casually talked about the site of the Pekingese that we found." ”
"Looking for you to talk about the Peking Man site?" Bai Wen Chaofa was taken aback and asked, "Who is looking for you?" It's the leader of the cultural relics department, right? ”
"Yes, it's a leader, a big leader, but not the cultural relics department." Yi Yang's eyebrows fluttered and replied, "Xiao Chao, guess who he will be?" I'll give you a hint, the man was an old man, in his seventies, with a lovely smile and an amiable face. ”
"Huh?" Hearing what Yi Yang said, Bai Wenchao couldn't help but be stunned, shook his head and said, "This is really hard to guess." Brother Yi Yang, you can tell me directly, which big leader received you. ”
Yi Yang said: "It's the old man we often see on TV. ”
"It can't be the first seat, right? Or the director? No way, they're so busy! Bai Wenchao shook his head and analyzed.
"Xiaochao, you really guessed right!" Yi Yang laughed loudly.
"I guessed right?! Is it really the first and the first to sit on them?! Bai Wenchao said in surprise.
Yi Yang nodded solemnly and said, "He is an important person in the country, director." ”
"It turns out that it's really the director!" Bai Wenchao said with surprise and joy, "Then you are really cool, I didn't expect the director to come to you in person, thank you!" ”
Yi Yang nodded and said: "Yes, it seems that the state attaches great importance to this matter, and it is not an ordinary archaeological discovery." ”
Bai Wenchao said: "Of course! The reality of Peking Man skeleton fossils, what a big deal this is, will cause a sensation in the cultural relics and archaeological circles all over the world! It's so much more than we think! I believe that when the time comes, many heads of state, scientists in related fields, and big figures will come to visit, but it is not known whether the country will open up or not. ”
After chatting and laughing for a while, the two went to have breakfast with Mu Lao and them.
Mu Lao also stayed in this hotel to rest last night, and they had made an appointment to go back to downtown Beijing to deal with those things that had not yet been dealt with.
After finishing the things in the capital, Yi Yang and Mu Lao should also end this trip and return to Guangyue, after all, their base camp is over there, and Yi Yang is also preparing to develop his career there for the time being.
When they had breakfast with Mu Lao, Yi Yang told Mu Lao and them about the director's meeting with him last night, they were all surprised, and at the same time happy for him, since the director came to him, it means that the country attaches great importance to the discoverer of the new Peking Man site, which paves the way for Yi Yang to handle related matters in the government department in the future.
After eating, Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao packed their luggage and drove to the city.
"Xiaochao, what should I do about that?"
On the way, Yi Yang suddenly asked.
"What to do?" Bai Wenchao was shocked.
Yi Yang replied: "It's the matter of learning art from your grandfather." ”
He has always wanted to worship Lu Lao as a teacher and learn kung fu, since that incident happened that night, after Lu Lao revealed his true kung fu, his idea has become even stronger, but Lu Lao did not promise him anything, seeing that he is about to go back to the south now, if this teacher has not been worshipped, then it will be even more difficult in the future.
Bai Wenchao smiled and said: "There should be a play, he worshiped him in public that night, although he didn't promise you immediately, but I think he was moved, and he should be thinking about it now." ”
"Really?" Hearing Bai Wenchao's analysis, Yi Yang's heart ignited a flame of hope, in fact, he also felt like this, but he was a little anxious and couldn't bear it.
"Definitely, yes!" Bai Wenchao nodded heavily, "When I return to the capital, I think he should take the initiative to mention this matter to you." ”
"And what if he doesn't mention it?" Yi Yang asked.
Bai Wenchao said: "Then you take the initiative and mention the matter of apprenticeship again, if he really doesn't have the idea of accepting apprentices again, then he will also teach you both hands." ”
"Well, then I'll be satisfied." Yi Yang nodded.
People can't be too greedy, Lu Lao can teach you two hands is already very good, and if you can learn one-tenth of his kung fu, you can be said to be a master.
Because Lu Lao's skills were clearly seen that night, they were very powerful, and the punches and feet had great lethality.
If he hadn't been at the scene that night, then Yi Yang and them would have been really dangerous, although Bai Wenchao was also deeply hidden, it was not so easy to deal with a group of robbers with knives and guns with his bare hands.
Halfway through, Yi Yang suddenly received a phone call, the call was from Lin Shiyin, an antique Shih Tzu who set up an antique stall in Panjiayuan, Beijing, in fact, Lin Shiyin had been in close contact with him before.
"Yi Yang, are you still in Zhoukoudian?" I only heard Lin Shiyin's crisp and soft questioning voice on the other end of the phone.
Yi Yang replied with a smile: "Shishi, I have left Zhoukoudian now, but I am on the way, and I have not returned to the city yet. Can I help you? ”
"It's okay, just call and ask." Lin Shiyin said happily, "Then you will be back soon?" ”
"Well, yes, it's going to be in the city soon." Yi Yang replied truthfully.
"Do you have time when you get back?" Lin Shiyin asked.
Yi Yang said: "There should be, but I have a more important matter at hand, I must deal with it as much as possible, and I will go to you after I finish that matter, if you have any urgent matters, I can also find you early." ”
Lin Shiyin hurriedly replied: "There's nothing urgent, then don't worry, let's meet again when you're done, I can't delay your business." ”
"Not really." Yi Yang said politely.
Before leaving the city, Lin Shiyin met with him, and the two reached an agreement.
Lin Shiyin asked Yi Yang to be her boyfriend, so as to comfort her parents who were in a hurry to marry off their daughter, and Yi Yang agreed.
Now that Lin Shiyin is looking for him, it is estimated that it is for this matter, since the two of them are boyfriend and girlfriend, they naturally have to show themselves in front of her parents.
After saying goodbye and hanging up the phone, it didn't take long for Yi Yang and the others to drive back to the city.
"Brother Yi Yang, cousin, where are you going first? Do you want to go to your grandfather's house, or to the hotel where you are staying? ”
After the car drove into the city, the driver, Lu Shuangshuang, asked with a smile.
Yi Yang replied, "Let's go back to the hotel first, we have to put down our luggage first." ”
He brought so many things, and it was not good to go to Lu's hometown as a guest, but he would definitely go back to the future, because he still had a very important matter to deal with.
"Well, that's good." Lu Shuangshuang agreed.
Then Yi Yang took out his hand and made a call to Lu Lao to say goodbye to the other party.
"Lu Lao, Xiaochao and I will go back to the hotel first, and then we will go back to see you." After getting through the phone, Yi Yang said bluntly.
Lu Lao agreed: "Well, you can." So when are you available? Also, when are you going to go back to the south? ”
Yi Yang replied, "There is time." As for when I will return to Guangzhou, it has not yet been determined, but it should take a few days. ”
Lu Lao said: "Then are you free tonight?" ”
Yi Yang replied without hesitation: "Yes." ”
Lu Lao's request naturally did not hesitate, and immediately agreed.
From the other party's words, he could tell that the other party had something to say to him.
"Could it be that Lu Lao has already figured it out? He's going to teach me martial arts? Immediately, Yi Yang thought with surprise in his heart.
It is very likely that this is the case, because there seems to be nothing else besides this matter, at least not so solemnly said.
"Then come over here, I have something to tell you." Lu Lao said solemnly.
"Well, I know, I'll definitely go!" Yi Yang agreed categorically.
After hearing Yi Yang's promise, Lu Lao said goodbye, and then hung up the phone.
When he put away his hand, Yi Yang's face was bright, and Bai Wenchao, who was sitting next to him, noticed it naturally, so he asked in surprise, "Brother Yi Yang, what's the good thing?" So happy. ”
Yi Yang said with a smile: "Of course it's a good thing!" Just now I made a phone call to Lu Lao, and he asked me to meet at his house in the evening to talk about things, although he didn't make it clear, but I thought it should be related to my apprenticeship. ”
"Oh, is it? That's a big deal. Bai Wenchao said with a smile, "I think it's definitely true, maybe he really figured it out and is going to re-emerge, and you are the closed disciple he wants to accept." ”
"I hope so." Yi Yang said excitedly, he couldn't control the excitement a little, but it was also, he and Bai Wenchao came to Beijing this time, one of the purposes was to learn some kung fu from a generation of martial arts master Lu Lao, and now seeing that Lu Lao was about to agree to his apprenticeship request, how could he not be happy.
"Xiaochao, why did Lu Lao collect the mountain before?" Subsequently, Yi Yang asked casually.
He always felt that there was some story behind Lu Lao, which made him go into hiding without any apprentices.
I only heard Bai Wenchao sigh and said, "Brother Yiyang, this is difficult to say!" My grandfather did have an unpleasant encounter with him, which made him decide to quit the world and stop accepting apprentices. ”
"What's the matter? Is it convenient to sue me? Hearing this, Yi Yang suddenly straightened his expression and asked in a deep voice.
It seems that that incident had a great impact on Lu Lao, which caused him to encounter a setback, so he made such a decision.
Bai Wenchao shook his head and said: "It's nothing inconvenient, it's actually very simple, it's an apprentice taught by my grandfather, who committed a big incident outside, not only broke the rules of the rivers and lakes, but also spurned people in the industry, and was severely punished by the law. It's just that he saw the wrong person, the person who made a hand was a good worker, but now that person is punished by the law, locked up in prison, and I don't know when he will be released from prison, but my grandfather will definitely not recognize his apprentice again! ”
After listening to Bai Wenchao's original statement, Yi Yang suddenly realized and nodded: "I see!" ”
He finally understood why Lu Laoci refused to accept him as an apprentice three times, maybe the other party was testing him to see what his nature was, and whether it was suitable to teach him kung fu.
Presumably now that Yi Yang has passed the test, he decided to accept another apprentice.
It didn't take long for Lu Shuangshuang to drive Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao to a big hotel where they were staying.
Of course, Mu Lao returned to the hotel with them.
After getting out of the car and walking into the hotel, Yi Yang and the others put their things away first, and then took Lu Shuangshuang to have lunch together, because it was not early, it was time for lunch.
"Mu Lao, now that we are back, I don't know if Mr. Huang is free, I want to invite him in the afternoon to talk about the matter of Sixth Master Qi." During the meal, Yi Yang and Mu Lao solemnly talked about the conflict between Qi Liuye and him.
Mu Lao nodded and said, "You should be free, I'll call him later." ”
"yes, okay." Yi Yang was relieved.
In fact, not long after eating, Mu Lao invited Mr. Huang over and soon met Yi Yang.
"Xiao Yi, the matter is done, I have already discussed it with Qi Liuye, but Qi Liuye still has one request, as long as you agree to him!" As soon as he saw Yi Yang, Mr. Huang greeted him with a smile on his face, as if he had brought some good news.
