Chapter 3 Apprenticeship

Zhang Tianduo was really happy in his heart, but he didn't expect that by chance, he not only found the third uncle, but also came into contact with the mysterious Yizhuang.

Two days later, Zhang Tianduo moved into Xieyunzhuang.

Under the guidance of his senior sister Li Xiang, he finally saw the structure of the mysterious Yizhuang.

Xieyunzhuang occupies a very wide area, the whole Zhuangzi is divided into six parts, for the mourning hall, the courtyard, the east chamber, the west chamber, the east chamber backyard and the west chamber backyard, among them, the mourning hall occupies three-tenths of the area, up to 60 coffins can be parked at the same time.

The courtyard occupies two-tenths of the area, this courtyard has been carefully arranged by Fu Bowen, there are pavilions and rockeries, and there are small bridges in the river pool.

On the east side of the compound is a wing room, a total of six rooms, Fu Bowen and Li Xiang live on the east side of the chamber, there is a passage between the east chamber and the mourning hall, through this passage you can reach the backyard of the east chamber, the strange thing is that there is a door at the end of the passage, which is locked, when Zhang Tianduo proposed to go in and see, Li Xiang refused.

The wing room on the west side of the compound is a guest room, for the relatives of the deceased who came from afar to stay, similarly, there is also a passage between the west chamber and the mourning hall, which leads to the backyard of the west chamber, there is also a door here, but it is not locked, walk in and see, there is a small pond and a few weeping willows in it, the scenery is very pleasant.

Zhang Tianduo was amazed again and again, but he didn't expect the structure of Yizhuang to be so luxurious, and it was comparable to the mansions of rich and noble families.

Li Xiang observed the words and asked with a smile: "Senior brother, do you think this place is different from the legendary Yizhuang?" ”

"Well, I've heard people say that Yizhuang is ancient and mysterious, and it feels eerie, but here ......"

"Hey, there is probably only Xieyunzhuang in the world that is the least like Yizhuang, this is all made by the master, you will naturally know in the future."

Speaking of this, Li Xiang changed her words and asked, "Senior brother, do you really plan to worship Master as a teacher?" ”

"yes." Zhang Tianduo couldn't help but glance at Li Xiang, and said secretly in his heart: "Such an ugly appearance, no matter how you look at it, you are not used to it, it's a pity that you have a good figure and a good voice." ”

"You are really strange, ordinary people would not go to Yizhuang to do things if they were not at the end of the road, but you just drilled into this."

Zhang Tianduo smiled slightly and did not make a statement.

In fact, in addition to being curious about Yizhuang, he was also curious about this little senior sister.

Li Xiang's life experience is very miserable, both parents were killed by enemies, since childhood lived on the streets, begging for a living, and later lived in Zhangjia Town, happened to meet Fu Bowen, Fu Bowen saw that she was pitiful, so he took her back to the village to help do some chores.

Later, Fu Bowen saw that she was talented and intelligent, so he accepted her as a disciple and taught her some kung fu.

However, God didn't seem to see her well, and when she was thirteen years old, black sesame-like things suddenly grew on her face, and in less than half a year, she was unrecognizable, and she couldn't be cured.

The strange thing is that Li Xiang himself doesn't care much, but Fu Bowen, seeing that this girl has reached the age of talking about marriage, but this respectful face, coupled with her background, everyone who talks about it is frightened.

Zhang Tianduo was curious about these strange things on Li Xiang's face, these things were not born, nor did they look like some kind of strange disease, but suddenly appeared when Li Xiang was thirteen years old, based on what he heard and heard when he was in Nanyang, he felt that it was very much like someone had lowered his head, but he was not sure.

After visiting Yizhuang, the two came to the pavilion in the compound, where Fu Bowen was sitting and drinking tea.

Glancing at Zhang Tianduo, Fu Bowen asked, "Tianduo, do you really want to worship me as a teacher?" ”

"Yes, Tianduo has thought about it." Zhang Tianduo's tone was very firm.

The apprenticeship was mentioned last night, and Zhang Tianduo's purpose of apprenticeship was very simple, thinking that following Fu Bowen could see all kinds of mysterious things, and he could also learn some secret techniques, which was exactly what he longed for.

Fu Bowen was silent for a while, and then said, "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will take you as an apprentice." ”

Zhang Tianduo was overjoyed, hurriedly picked up a cup of tea and knelt down and saluted: "Disciple Zhang Tianduo to meet Master!" ”

In fact, Fu Bowen was not willing to let Zhang Tian take away this line of work, seeing that Zhuang people had an extremely bad reputation outside because they had been with corpses all their lives, and most of these people were lonely for life and had no good results.

However, since Zhang Tianduo is determined to learn from him, he will not refuse, as long as Zhang Tianduo learns his set of work principles, he will at least have no worries about food and clothing in his life.

"Tianduo, since you have entered my door, there are some things that I should let you know." Speaking of this, Fu Bowen took the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said to Li Xiang: "Girl, listen to it too." ”

Back then, after Fu Bowen rescued Zhang Shouwang from the bandits, the three brothers hid in the erosive forest near Zhangjia Town in order to save their lives, and the three brothers hid for more than half a year.

When they returned to Zhangjiazhen, Zhangjiazhen was no longer what it used to be, and its vitality was greatly damaged.

Later, they heard that the gang of mountain bandits were chasing the murderer everywhere to avenge the dead brothers, and Fu Bowen left at night in order not to disturb the brothers, and there was no news from them since.

Five years later, the second child died of illness, and the lonely Zhang Shouwang decided to go to Nanyang with his fellow villagers to make a living.

One day, Zhang Shouwang suddenly received a letter, which was written by Fu Bowen, who had been missing for a long time, in which Fu Bowen briefly described what happened during the period of disappearance, and said that he would stay in Zhangjiazhen in the future.

It turned out that after Fu Bowen left the brothers, he was found out by the mountain bandits not long after he was almost killed, but fortunately, an old monk passed by and rescued him.

After Fu Bowen recovered from his injury, in order to repay the old monk's life-saving grace, he voluntarily followed the old monk and served him carefully, which was five years.

After another five years, the old monk passed away, before his death, he handed over a monk's robe to Fu Bowen, and confided in Fu Bowen his life experience, he was a descendant of the Mai faction, when he was young, because of a rare treasure caused by the sect infighting, the brothers were killed and injured countless times, and he was disheartened, he cut off the dust and became a monk.

Now that the Buddha is about to be summoned, the old monk does not want to go with him, so he decided to pass on the two sets of exercises to Fu Bowen.

The two sets of exercises passed on by the old monks, one of which is the "earthquake mountain decision", which is the authentic exercises of Mai. The second is the "Golden Finger of the Buddha's Seat" created by the old monk in combination with Buddhism.

After Fu Bowen obtained the exercises, he devoted himself to penance, and after achieving success in his art, he returned to Zhangjia Town, but learned that Zhang Shouwang had been in Nanyang for many years, so he had to ask someone to send a letter to tell Zhang Shouwang what had happened over the years.

After that, in order to avoid the mountain bandits seeking revenge, Fu Bowen assumed the name of Zhang Huaigong, pretended to be at the end of the road, and entered Yizhuang to help.

When Fu Bowen was forty years old, the previous generation of Kanzhuang people died, and Fu Bowen officially took over Yizhuang until now.

Since the old monk was originally a descendant of the Mai faction, after Fu Bowen's martial arts were completed, he also regarded himself as the successor of the Mai faction, but he never announced it to the public.

Zhang Tianduo's heart was full of surprise when he heard this, and he knew that his choice was right.

Fu Bowen then said: "Master's ability comes from the lineage of Mai, and you need to consider yourself a Mai faction in the future, understand?" ”

Zhang Tianduo nodded again and again and said, "The disciple understands. ”

"Well, from today onwards, your senior sister will pass on your 'Earthquake Mountain Decision' exercise, you have to practice it well and don't live up to the expectations of the third uncle."

Fu Bowen's last sentence was told as a relative, which made Zhang Tianduo deeply feel the love of this third uncle, and he secretly determined that he must practice hard and live up to his expectations.

There are a total of seventy-two ways of "Earthquake Mountain Duel", which is the most yang and rigid exercise, one move and one style are extremely domineering, Zhang Tianduo is full of confidence, but he can't stand it after practicing it again.

"My mother, this 'earthquake mountain decision' is too tiring, I can't do it, senior sister, let me take a break." After the second trip, Zhang Tianduo couldn't hold on, he sat on the ground with his butt and couldn't stop panting.

Li Xiang smiled slightly and said: "This set of exercises is not suitable for women to practice, so I only learned the basic kung fu on my hands and feet, if it is taught by the master, you will definitely not have the strength to speak now." ”

"Not suitable for women? Why? ”

"This set of exercises is masculine and rigid, and the master said that if a woman practices too deeply, she will become neither male nor female."

"Huh, really? Why don't you just do it? Is it so amazing? Zhang Tianduo was a little skeptical.

Li Xiang knew in her heart that it was difficult for Zhang Tianduo, who grew up in Nanyang since childhood, to understand these things, and she didn't explain, but said: "You will naturally understand in the future." ”
