Chapter 458: The Difference Between Inside and Outside
"Those two people, the one with the fan is called Tao Xinyu, and the one with a turmeric face is called Xing Yudong, the Zheng family who entered a year earlier than us, passed the exam and was promoted to an inner disciple half a year ago." Zhuo Bufan replied.
"Are the two people bad-tempered? Why do you all have to let him? Although they came a year before you and are considered your senior brothers, there is no need to be lame like that, right? I saw someone but didn't even say anything, how could I be so rude, if someone did this to me, I would definitely never pay attention to him again. Tan Xiaotian said angrily - although there are inner disciples and outer disciples, but after all, they belong to the same sect and live in the same courtyard, everyone looks down and doesn't look up, even if the relationship is generally not a friendship, but when you meet a nod on the road and say hello, is it so difficult?
"Those two people weren't like that before, although they weren't very good, but they weren't as annoying as they are now." Lee Myung-so said.
"People are now inner disciples, of course it can't be the same." Gu Chongyang also said, and a little sourness could obviously be heard in his tone.
"Just now in the cafeteria, I heard what you said about the inner disciples and the outer disciples, aren't they all disciples of the Zheng family? What's the difference? Tan Xiaotian asked curiously - when he was in the Jiangdu Chess Academy, he also heard others talk about the inner disciples and the outer disciples, but at that time his understanding was only the difference between whether to learn chess in the Zheng family's headquarters in the capital, and entering the Zheng family through the assessment to receive the education and training of the Zheng family's main sect is an inner disciple, not an outer disciple. In addition, Steward Zheng brought him to the capital this time because he was an inner disciple, so he always thought that Zhuo Bufan, Gu Chongyang, Li Mingxiu and others were inner disciples, but now when he heard that this was not the case, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
"Of course not. The Zheng family admits disciples once a year. Every year in September, Go teenagers from all over the country gather in Beijing to participate in the introductory test, and those who pass the introductory test are considered to be members of the Zheng family. Does it seem simple? In fact, it is not that easy, because there are only twenty entry places every year, and the number of people who come to take the entrance test is seventy or eighty, and sometimes more than 100. In the past ten years, there were 156 people at a time, so the competition was very fierce, there were many monks, and those who could pass the entry test were the best of the best, and there were very few. ”
Passing the entrance test is only the first step, and the qualification obtained is called an outer disciple, although it is also trained by the Zheng family, but that's all. If you just want to get the name of the Zheng family, it's okay, but if you want to learn the real skills, then it's better to worship in those less famous families, although the things learned are not too much, but the difficulty of getting started is much smaller, after all, people who are willing to go all the way to the capital and want to worship in the three major families to learn chess must have considerable strength, each of them is not far from one in a hundred, and the three major families are eliminated in the general small family sects are very sought-after. ”
“。 Above the outer disciples are the inner disciples, at the end of each year. The outer disciples have to conduct a ranking tournament with full participation, and the best three of them will be accepted as disciples by the old masters of the Zheng family, these disciples are the inner disciples, and the biggest difference with the outer disciples is that the inner disciples have their own separate masters, and this master is also the elder of the Zheng family, not only superb chess skills. Moreover, the status of the Zheng family is very high, and this means that after becoming an inner disciple, you can obtain many resources and opportunities that are not available to outer disciples, learn more secret skills, and the chess power will naturally become stronger, to make an analogy. It is like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, although it is only separated by a line, but it is the difference between heaven and earth. ”
There is another difference, the outer disciples have only four years of cultivation in the Zheng family, if they can't become inner disciples in four years, they have to leave the Zheng family, and those who are lucky will be assigned to work in the Zheng family's industries all over the country, and those who are unlucky will have to rely on their own skills to make a living, of course, it is not difficult to find a job to support the family with the sign of the Zheng family's disciple on his head. And the inner disciples basically follow the master, and they have a fixed monthly money to receive every month, even if they are assigned to work in other places, with the master's care, it is basically a beautiful difference. Therefore, even if you become an inner disciple, even if you have an iron rice bowl, as long as you don't go crazy and break it yourself, you can live a life without worrying about food and clothing.
Every year, the Zheng family accepts twenty new outer disciples, each disciple can study in the Zheng family for four years, in other words, there must be as many as eighty people who participate in the ranking competition every year, and only two of these eighty people can become inner disciples, that is to say, only one out of forty people, considering the average strength, it is not an exaggeration to say that those who can become inner disciples are one out of a thousand, not only must have extremely strong strength, but also have good luck, both are indispensable.
"In addition, the inner disciples and the inner disciples are not the same, although they are all elder-level masters, but the status of each master in the Zheng family is still high and low, if you meet a strong elder, then luck will be against the sky."
In fact, in terms of real strength, Tao Xinyu and Xing Yudong can only be regarded as average among the inner disciples, but the luck of the two of them is very good, last year, the elder who accepted the inner disciples was Zheng Quanxi, he is the second uncle of Zheng Xinyi, the head of the Zheng family, and the generation is still above the head of the family, many of the major and minor affairs of the Zheng family need to be approved by him, in front of Zheng Xinyu, it can be said that there is no one who can say the same, although he does not grasp the specific real power, no one in the Zheng family dares to provoke him. Tao Xinyu and Lang Yudong stepped on shit and worshiped under his door, I don't know how much chess I have learned and I haven't played against each other, but the old man's arrogant and stinky temper is a big or eighty percent, not to mention that when you meet our outer disciples, even if you meet other inner disciples, you may not be able to look at it with a straight eye. Today, it's normal. It's not that I didn't look at the two of them before, and I couldn't stand his master's shortcomings, and after the conflict, it was others who suffered, and no one was willing to provoke them. This can be regarded as a fox and a fake tiger, as time goes by, the more arrogant and bold these two people become, and the more annoying they become. Zhuo Bufan said very carefully, he didn't want Tan Xiaotian to inadvertently offend those two people because he didn't know the situation here, the so-called would rather offend the gentleman than the villain, those two guys are not people with a lot of energy, if he deliberately wants to fix Tan Xiaotian, Tan Xiaotian is an eight-year-old child who can't cope with it at all.
