Meng Guyun listened to Gu Yuzi's words, saw Gu Yuzi tell his identity, and knew that with his ability, it was not difficult to find out his identity, and then mentioned his mother, Meng Guyun naturally missed her very much, but when he thought of leaving Gu Yubao immediately, he couldn't help but feel very disappointed in his heart, and after a while, he said dejectedly, "Mr. Gu Yu, is there really no way to do it, I really like it here." ”

"Hey," Gu Yuzi sighed, "Little brother, with your status at the moment, you really can't stay in the castle anymore, unless..."

"Unless what?" Meng Guyun was already desperate in his heart, but when he heard Gu Yuzi say the end, there seemed to be a hint of a turning point, and he hurriedly asked.

"Unless you are willing to worship as a teacher, little brother, you will be a disciple at that time, and your status is special, even if you are not an orphan or an outcast, you can stay on the mountain in the open."

"Of course the kid is willing to worship Mr. Gu Yu as a teacher, the teacher is above, please accept Meng Guyun!" Meng Guyun was overjoyed when he heard this, what he had seen and heard these days, Gu Yuzi's mind and knowledge, made him admire, and he had already had the idea of worshiping Gu Yuzi as a teacher, but when he thought of Lin Xin, he didn't even have the qualifications to be an alternative, and he would only accept three apprentices in his life, he and Gu Yuzi had only known each other for a few days, Gu Yuzi would definitely not agree, Meng Guyun was conceited by nature, since he expected the result, he didn't want to mention it, at this time Gu Yuzi took the initiative, I didn't expect that not only could I have the opportunity to stay in the mountain, but also worship Gu Yuzi as a teacher, Naturally, he was overjoyed. Meng Guyun has been smart since he was a child, knowing that Gu Yuzi must have something to say behind, so he deliberately didn't wait for Gu Yuzi to finish speaking, and immediately hit the snake with the stick, and hurriedly stood up, preparing to kneel down and bow to the teacher.

Meng Guyun was about to kneel down and salute, but his hands were tightly clenched by Gu Yuzi, so the words had already been spoken, but the salute was not done.

"The little brother is not busy saluting, and when I finish speaking, if the little brother is still willing to worship me as a teacher, it is not too late to salute again." Gu Yuzi smiled.

"Sir, please say, no matter what the test is, Meng Guyun is willing to try." Meng Guyun was eager to apprentice, but Gu Yuzi refused to accept apprentices easily, and if he wanted to become his apprentice, he would have to pass some difficult tests, but he had always been not afraid of heaven and earth, so he was confident that he could pass the test.

"It's not a test, the little brother is talented, clever and changeable, if he can be tempered properly, he is a genius, this is the first time I saw the little brother to make a comment. After getting along with the little brother in the past few days, I found that the little brother has a pure nature and great ambitions, but it has not yet been discovered. Gu Yuzi was convinced of his vision, his eyes were full of determination, and he looked at Meng Guyun with appreciation.

"First, Mr. has complimented me, Mr. has something to say, please say." Meng Guyun has grown so big, and he has never been praised so much, and the other party is the person he admires, so he felt very embarrassed for a while, and he stammered when he spoke.

"Little brother, the matter of apprenticeship is actually in your absence from me." Gu Yuzi suddenly became serious, "I once made a promise that I would only accept three disciples in my life, and so far I have accepted two disciples, the eldest disciple is called Zhang Mu, who worshipped me as a teacher sixteen years ago, when he was only fourteen years old, he followed me for six years, and he was a teacher ten years ago; The second disciple is called Bai Bing, who was fifteen years old and has been with me for three years, and is eighteen years old this year; If you worship me as a teacher, you will be my third disciple and my last disciple. Gu Yuzi said his promise to accept disciples, and said his real name, Meng Guyun knew that Gu Yuzi still had something to say, so he just listened carefully and didn't dare to interject.

"Little brother, once you worship me as a teacher, I will teach me what I have learned in my life, but at the same time, you must also strictly follow my requirements, whether you can do it, you need to weigh it yourself, but once you agree, you must not disobey." Gu Yuzi emphasized.

"Little brother, you are the son of a general, there must be a lot of concerns in the family, once you want to worship me as a teacher, without my permission, you can't leave this Yannan Mountain without permission, that is to say, once you apprentice, you will not be able to recognize your family in the next six to twelve years."

"What?!" Meng Guyun cried out in a lost voice, "Why can't you see your family? And six to twelve years? Meng Guyun was shocked in his heart, he originally thought that no matter how difficult it was, he could grit his teeth and do it, but he didn't expect Gu Yuzi to ask that he not be able to meet his family, and it took six to twelve years, which he couldn't do anyway, so he screamed out and asked Gu Yuzi loudly.

"Every three years, I will consider what my disciple has learned in three years, if he is qualified, I will continue to teach him for three years, if he is not qualified, when the three years are up, the fate of master and apprentice will be over, I will also cut off contact with him, and never see each other again, only after nine years of study, the friendship between master and apprentice can be retained. And within three years of going down the mountain, I can't contact the old people, I can't use my real name, and I can't say that I am a disciple, and I need to rely on my own ability to break out of a world of my own in the three years. Gu Yuzi knew that Meng Guyun would ask this question, and explained word by word.

After listening to Gu Yuzi, Meng Guyun wanted to ask Gu Yuzi why he had such impersonal rules, but knowing that Gu Yuzi had a unique style of acting, even if he was willing to explain the result, it would definitely not change, he was in a state of confusion at the moment, and he didn't know the reason, so he couldn't decide in his heart, so he just looked at him blankly.

"Little brother, think about it yourself, I will come to see you again in the evening, whether to go or stay, and then the little brother will make a decision." Gu Yuzi knew that he had a lot of thoughts in his heart at the moment, and he would definitely not be able to make a decision immediately, leaving Meng Guyun, who was still in a daze, and left by himself.

After Gu Yuzi left, Meng Guyun had mixed feelings in his heart, he never thought that Gu Yuzi would make such a harsh and impersonal request, Meng Guyun wanted to go down the mountain immediately, go back to Tianmeng Mansion to be his general, and be at ease, what Yannan Mountain, what Gu Yubao, as if he had never been here; But after thinking about it, my father has been fighting outside for many years, my eldest brother is only sixteen years old, and this time he has already gone out with his father, my mother is worried at home day and night, the world is changeable, how long can I be happy in the Tianmeng Mansion, although my father is an undefeated general, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, who can be undefeated in his life? In the days to come, will I sit at home with my mother and wait for news from my father and brother, or will I fight on the battlefield with my father and brother, leaving my mother at home alone? As Gu Yuzi said, in this troubled world, if you don't have excellent skills and strong forces, not only will you not be able to protect your family, but you will also be slaughtered by others.

Suddenly, Meng Guyun remembered what Gu Yuzi said when chatting with him, 'Those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world will rule the country first; Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families; Those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies; Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts; Those who want to correct their hearts must first be sincere; If you want to be sincere, you must first know it, and you will know it in Gewu. Character and then know, know and then sincerity, sincerity and then heart, heart and then body cultivation, body cultivation and then family Qi, family Qi and then national governance, national governance and then the world is peaceful. If you want to cultivate yourself and govern the country and the world, you must first correctly understand your own shortcomings, improve your cognition, be humble and studious, as the so-called, learn your skills and wait for opportunities. If you don't have enough knowledge, any lofty ideals and ambitions are just empty talk, and if you force yourself to stand out, you will only lose your life in this troubled world. 'Mother never forced herself to practice literature and martial arts, presumably just like Gu Yuzi said, but the truth expressed is the opposite, without strong skills, naturally she will not provoke right and wrong, plus the protection of Tianmeng Mansion for herself, I hope that I can spend my life in peace.

'Martial arts is the strength to uphold benevolence, righteousness, and peace. If you want to stop fighting, you must first strengthen yourself, prohibit rape, eliminate war, maintain strength, consolidate the foundation, stabilize the people, unite the people, and increase wealth. Seeking knowledge and learning martial arts, the first thing is in the heart, the heart is unjust, and the sword is evil; If the heart is not right, the sword will be evil, and if the heart is not kind, the sword will be evil. Only by having a clear heart, a sense of morality, justice, and benevolence can we truly achieve Dacheng. Gu Yuzi's teachings over the past few days have been constantly reappearing in Meng Guyun's mind at this moment, indicating that he has been deeply affected by Gu Yuzi's words and deeds in the past few days, and he may not know it himself, but in fact, he has already regarded Gu Yuzi as a teacher in his heart.

The two forces in Meng Guyun's heart are constantly fighting, he wants to learn art from Gu Yuzi, but he doesn't want to leave his relatives, he is the son of a general, he has been pampered since he was a child, and he is smart and clever, when did he suffer such a mental torment, not to mention that he is only twelve years old, he is still in the age of the general horn, his mind is not yet mature, and now he wants to make such a major decision, how can he not think about it and hesitate.

Heng'an, Heavenly Mansion

"Thank goodness, ma'am, you're finally awake." The maidservant Xiao Tao saw that Lin Qin had been in a coma for two days, although she was diagnosed by the doctor in the house as a melancholy disease, plus she worked tirelessly for days and did not sleep endlessly, so she was unconscious, but Lin Qin was in a coma for two days in a row, how could the people of Tianmeng Mansion not be in a hurry.

It turned out that Lin Qin had been looking for her son for eight days in a row since Meng Guyun disappeared, and led the family to find her son in Fengzui Slope for eight days without sleep, and the family knew that she was also looking for it in turn, but she herself was unwilling to leave a single step, fainted many times in eight days, and was woken up by everyone many times, ignoring everyone's dissuasion, unwilling to go back to the house to rest, and never left Fengzui Slope until two days ago, she was physically exhausted, unconscious, and was carried back to Tianmeng Mansion by the maids in a coma.

"Little, little peach, how long have I been in a coma, what about Steward Zhang, yes, there is news of the little boy." Lin Qin had just woken up, his body was still extremely tired, his limbs were weak, and he even had some trouble speaking, so his voice was weak, and he took two deep breaths in a row before he finished speaking.

"Madam, you have been in a coma for two days, and Manager Zhang is still looking for the little boy in Fengzuipo, but there is still no news about the little boy for the time being." Xiao Tao saw that Lin Qin was extremely weak, and she only cared about Meng Guyun in her heart, although she knew that she was too sad, but when Madame asked, she didn't dare not answer.

"Madam, the doctor said that you are overworked and extremely weak, and you must rest more." Seeing that Lin Qin wanted to sit up, Xiao Tao's expression was painful, and she hurriedly reached out to help, and at the same time said the doctor's instructions.

Lin Qin heard the news that there was still no dream of Guyun, the look of expectation in his eyes faded, and immediately became dim, under the support of Xiao Tao, he tried his best to sit up straight, his body felt tired, and his chest was tight and short of breath, and he was about to fall if he didn't have Xiao Tao's support, she knew that her body was overdrawn, and it was difficult to speak, so it was impossible to go to Fengzuipo to find her son, but fortunately, she was still conscious, and after sitting firmly, she took a few deep breaths, and felt that her chest was not so stuffy, Motioning for Xiao Tao to let go of the hands holding him, he wanted to sit down by himself.

"Madam, I'll serve you to eat something, the doctor said, Madame hasn't eaten for a long time, can't eat indigestible things, can only drink gruel first." Xiao Tao slowly let go of Lin Qin's elbow, for fear that she would fall due to her physical strength, and after seeing that Lin Qin was indeed sitting firmly, she hurriedly sent the gruel that had been prepared a long time ago, wanting to feed Lin Qin.

Lin Qin hadn't eaten for nearly ten days, and she was really hungry at this time, and she wanted to recover her strength quickly, so she didn't refuse Xiao Tao's kindness, and drank the gruel she fed, when her mouth touched the gruel, she could feel the temperature of the gruel, it can be seen that this considerate maid will heat up or re-boil the gruel every once in a while, so that Lin Qin can drink the warm gruel as soon as she wakes up.

Xiao Tao saw that Lin Qin was willing to eat the gruel she prepared, and she was overjoyed, she was really worried for the past few days, Mengjing and Menggufeng had just set out on the expedition, and now the life and death of the little boy were uncertain, if Lin Qin had three longs and two shorts, the entire Tianmeng Mansion would be chaotic.

Lin Qin drank gruel while dripping blood in his heart, at this time it has been ten days since Meng Guyun was taken away by the tiger, even if his son was not eaten by the tiger, he must have starved to death, and it would be in vain to continue to look for it, Meng Guyun must be more than lucky, the strange thing is that after looking for so many days in a row, the entire Fengzui Slope has turned over, but no trace of the tiger and the bones of his son have been found, could it be that his son was saved by others? But after thinking about it, I felt that I was thoughtful, my thoughts were too naïve, and the mountains on both sides of Fengzui Slope have always been inaccessible, not to mention that even if someone sees it, how can ordinary people have the ability to save their son from the tiger's mouth? Life and death are fate, Mengguyun's fate should be like this, how can she change it? Thinking of this, her heart was even more sad, and two lines of hot tears continued to flow from her dark eyes, and she was still immersed in sad emotions, not noticing it at all.

Xiao Tao was serving Lin Qin to drink porridge, seeing Lin Qin with such a look, she didn't dare to interrupt, gently put down the porridge bowl, one hand used a silk scarf to gently wipe away the tears for Mrs., and the other hand also secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, he knew that Mrs. was sad for the little boy at the moment, in fact, she was also very sad in her heart, Lin Qin loved Meng Guyun the most on weekdays, and regarded him as a treasure, and although Meng Guyun was naughty, she was also very likable, every time she made Lin Qin angry, she would 'Sister Xiao Tao, Sister Xiao Tao. 'Tell him to keep talking, please help him say good things to his mother, and know how not to be sad when he has suffered such a misfortune.

Nishiyu Seki

"Feng'er, are you resting?" Outside the door, Mengjing's deep voice came from Mengjing.

"Father?" The rapid march for days did make Meng Gufeng's body tired, but he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he himself is mentally prepared for this expedition, and his father will definitely not take extra care of himself, so although he is physically tired, he is very excited mentally.

"Father, why did you come here to look for Feng'er so late?" Meng Gufeng hurriedly opened the door.

"My father has just finished his work, and I saw that the light in your room was still on, so I came over and chatted with Feng'er." Meng Jing entered the house and sat down with Meng Gufeng, at this time he did not have the momentum of a general, and looked at Meng Gufeng lovingly.

"Father has a heavy military load, he should rest early, everything is fine here, father don't worry." Dream Gufeng cared.

"Feng'er is on this expedition for the first time, does Feng'er feel hard? In the past ten days, my father has not talked to Feng'er, nor has he taken much care of him, and Feng'er can blame his father in his heart. ”

"What did my father say? Feng'er has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and it has always been Feng'er's wish to go on the expedition with her father, so why hard? Besides, as a general and the master of the three armies, his father demands himself all the time, without the slightest speciality, Feng'er is determined to make meritorious contributions, how can he blame his father for not taking care of him partially? Meng Gufeng was a little excited.

"Okay, it's worthy of being my Mengjing's good son." Mengjing didn't feel embarrassed at all, and laughed.

"Is it because I live in a single room that is not in line with military regulations? If so, Feng'er can sleep in the barracks. Meng Gufeng said worriedly.

"Feng'er, it's too pedantic to think so," Mengjing said, "During the march, your father will not give you any care, as you said, the army should be treated equally, even if you are my Mengjing's son, I will not give you any care, but also because my father believes that even if Feng'er is your first time on the expedition, you can cope with this rapid march, which is also a kind of exercise for you." But if you only think of yourself as an ordinary soldier, you are very wrong, you are the eldest son of a general, your own requirements for yourself, and everyone's expectations of you are naturally different, if you live in the barracks, do the same as ordinary soldiers, how can you grow quickly? Therefore, the father will be strict with you, and at the same time, he will also teach you in many ways, today General Tian ordered the general to take you to inspect Xiyu Pass, and explain in detail, how can this be the treatment that ordinary soldiers can get? And if you haven't appreciated the majesty of Xiyuguan and the great rivers and mountains of my Daheng, how can you enrich your ambitions? You must know that if you don't know enough, you will worry too much, so Feng'er, you have to understand, order someone to take you to inspect Xiyu Pass, arrange a single room for you, and facilitate your learning and communication, it is not partiality, but what you deserve as the eldest son of the general, and at the same time, what you shoulder and what you have to think about is also what you have to constantly improve, which is also what your identity as the eldest son of the general requires you. ”

"My father has good intentions, and Feng'er has been taught." Dream Gufeng said heartily.

"Feng'er rest early, the next days will be your hardest time, and at the same time, the fastest growth time."

"Yes!"
