Chapter 19: The Second Apprenticeship

Another week passed in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye, Saturday arrived.

Zheng Fanshi carried a hundred yuan in his pocket, which was the food money for his first month of school.

However, summer classes will only start next Monday, so the entrance of No. 6 Middle School is sparsely populated, and it is even said to be "bleak", and no student wants to come to school before the school starts.

He looked at the door that was being closed, and watched as the wind-blown confetti swirled on the ground, hit the wall, and fell to the ground again. I feel a "sadness" in my heart, the ancients often said "sad autumn", because people always have memories and longings in such seasons, but Zhengfan stone can also be sad in summer.

Since coming to the county seat two years ago to go to school, Zheng Fanshi has said goodbye to rural life, he drinks the water that tastes like "dead rats" in the city, eats old tofu that sometimes costs a dollar, sometimes seven cents a meal, there are no fresh peanuts that have just been harvested in autumn, there is no lively sister and naughty cousin, and in the morning he can no longer hear the sound of chickens and ducks in the yard, nor can he hear the sound of selling tofu......

What about the future? He didn't know what it was like - he didn't know if he would go back to the countryside in the future, he only knew that his school was an ordinary high school, and more than a dozen people could be admitted to the undergraduate program every year.

Therefore, he was full of hope, hoping that he could worship a teacher and that he could practice the "immortal art" of immortality, but he was afraid that if he was rejected, Huang Yankuo would no longer help him, and he didn't know what the future would be! He was afraid that he would be treated as useless, and the two parted ways, fearing that he would completely pass by immortality.

"Xiaozheng!"

Zhengfan Shi was thinking about it when he felt that someone tapped him on the shoulder. As soon as he turned around, he saw Huang Yankuo.

"Lao Kuo!"

"Let's go! Pay attention this time, my fourth master is a kind person, the eldest brother Dao Zhuang has said something about you, you want to be neither humble nor arrogant, do you know......"

"Not humble and not arrogant...... Zheng Fanshi silently read a few words of these four words, thinking "neither humble nor arrogant", there are many "neither humble nor arrogant" in Chinese history, but how difficult these four words are, how many people can do "neither humble nor arrogant", "not humble and not arrogant" requires confidence, Mencius said "There is no permanent birth and perseverance, only the man is capable." If the people, because there is no permanent property, then there is no perseverance" only people who can be called "scholars" can be neither humble nor arrogant under any circumstances, and adhere to their own hearts, and ordinary people, without relying on them, it is impossible to adhere to their original hearts. Does Zhengfan Stone have something to rely on? No, he is not a corporal, he blushes when he talks to girls, and grovels when he sees the elderly, he doesn't know how to express "neither humble nor arrogant".

"By the way, my uncle Li Shoufang, now that he is young, pay attention to me and say hello to him, and you will also say hello, do you hear?" Huang Yankuo said as he walked.

"What?" Zhengfanshi was distracted and didn't hear the other party talking.

Huang Yankuo had no choice but to repeat it again.

"Young? What is the meaning? Zheng Fanshi thought for a while, "Has it become what it was when he was young?" ”

"Yes, it's just to become young." Huang Yankuo nodded, "It seems that you kid is not stupid, I thought I would explain it to you well." ”

While talking, the two of them crossed a few streets, and Huang Yankuo introduced the character of the possible "teacher" to Zhengfanshi along the way, in fact, this possible "teacher" was Li Daozhuang's teacher - Li Shouguang.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the gate, Huang Yankuo spoke in code, and when the door opened, it was the sixth brother Liu Zuoyuan, who saw that it was Huang Yankuo and Zhengfan Shi, and showed a smile.

"Just back? The four masters have been waiting for you for a long time. Liu Zuoyuan waved his hand and asked the two of them to hurry up.

Accepting apprentices is a big deal, and everyone in the courtyard knows about it.

"Well, it's just right?" Suddenly remembering something, Liu Zuoyuan patted Zhengfanshi on the shoulder.

"Yes, brother!" Zhengfan Shigan nodded to Liu Zuoyuan and stopped moving forward.

"By the way, the four masters have two methods of selecting apprentices, one is testing, and the other is shooting. In terms of these two methods, the best is the test, the pass rate is very high, once you fail, the four masters will refuse to accept you; If it's lucky, the pass rate is a quarter, it's a matter of luck, if you don't hit, the four masters will only not be able to accept you as an apprentice. If you are not sure, it is best to choose the luck of shooting, so it is not considered a rejection, and there will be a chance to worship others as teachers in the future. Liu Zuoyuan said to Zheng Fanshi.

"Thank you brother for the reminder!" Zhengfan Shi bowed to Liu Zuoyuan.

"Let's go!" Liu Zuoyuan smiled at the two, waved his hand, and motioned for them to hurry up.

When I arrived at the main hall, I saw that the four uncles of the "guard" generation were sitting in the hall and were playing chess of the four countries.

"It's coming!" Ma Yuande is Li Shoufang's eldest disciple, so he is naturally responsible for hospitality, but because Li Daojin is the introducer, he was "avoided".

"Please come into the inner room! Daojin avoids! "A tall man came out of the inner room, really fat and tall, more than two meters by eye, but the length was very even, and there was no obvious over-height appearance, which made people feel as if they were looking at an ordinary strong man through a magnifying glass.

"Okay, Brother Daojia, please take care of it!" Huang Yankuo heard that he avoided it, and he originally wanted to follow up and take a look, but now he had to obey the command.

Zhengfan Stone was taken to the inner room, and then another person took him to the other door of the inner room, "Please! ”

There's someone in that room too! In this way, I turned around four or five rooms before I came to a place where I don't know if it was a basement.

Seeing that this was the last room, because there was no other door in this room, he couldn't be allowed to come in and go out, Zheng Fanshi began to look at this room.

The house is very large, more than 100 square meters, and such a large room is indeed large for a private house. But it's very simple!

There were a few chairs in the corner, with a lot of stuff on them, and they looked soft.

Zheng Fan Shi recognized it at a glance, he had sat on one of the recliners, and it was when he was learning the Divine Method.

This time, however, there was some equipment on the chair, and it was strange that there was something similar to the "special bag head" of the jellyfish last time, as well as a few tube-shaped things, box-like things, and a large transparent cube that took up half of the space in the room.

Two people are debugging these things there.

"Take a look." One of the short-haired young men said.

Another young man with a parted head wore a translucent glove, which was really connected to a square machine, which in turn was connected to all the equipment, and the most striking thing was to see the large cube in the middle of the room, and now a very vicious bird appeared in the big cube, and I don't know what kind it was, standing there motionless, and looking towards the Zhengfan Stone.

"Fly!" The short-haired youth said.

"Good!" After the young man finished speaking, the fierce bird screamed, and his wings flapped all of a sudden, rushing towards Zhengfan Stone.

"Huh?!" Zheng Fanshi was startled.

"Hahaha...... the two laughed, "Don't be afraid, it's fake!" ”

After saying that, the bird disappeared.
