"In this month, you not only have to learn more than 20 kinds of techniques and more than 30 kinds of formations that have been passed down from generation to generation by our old family, but also learn how to use the three hanging coins, and in addition, you must also learn to smell the fragrance and distinguish the ancients."

The voice of the seventh master appeared behind me, and when I looked back, I saw him carrying a large box in his hand and stepping into the study with one foot.

Recently, I have often seen the third master, but the seventh master has not appeared for a long time.

I smiled at him: "Seventh Master, why are you here?" ”

The seventh master gave me a smile: "I rushed back from Guanzhong for you." ”

The third master debunked him on the spot: ", it must be the second brother who forced you to come back." ”

was told on the spot, and the seventh master didn't get angry, but just said to me: "My second brother, it's okay, it's just too strong, and when you take over the winter word vein, don't be like him." ”

At this time, the third master sighed helplessly: "The second brother can't help it, he can't be strong if he is not strong, you can tell me, the other three veins of our old family, who doesn't want to be strong in the Dongzi vein, if the second brother is not so tough, the Dongzi vein would not be what it is now." ”

The seventh master nodded: "Yes." ”

When he was done, he asked me again, "Did you eat this morning?" ”

I shook my head, "Not yet." ”

"Okay, let's get started."

As he spoke, the seventh master glanced at the third master.

The third master took the "Chronicles of Strange Things" from my hand and said to me: "We only have one month, and if we want to complete the task given by the second brother, we must use every minute." Before the meal is served, I'll take you to the door first. ”

As he spoke, the Seventh Master opened the box in his hand and took out five fist-sized metal boxes from it, and when the Seventh Master opened the lid, I saw that each box was full of rice.

The old rice and new rice made by the old family are mixed together, and the black and white are distinct.

After this, the seventh master said to me: "In ancient times, the entry must pay tribute to five buckets of rice, half of the old rice, half of the new rice, the old rice represents the heart of the heart, the new rice represents the vitality of all things, the meaning is to hope that the door people can practice the state of mind, with the naked eye mortal to see through the spiritual root of all things." In ancient times, ten liters counted as a bucket, but our old family's Chen rice did not have so much, so we used boxes instead of buckets. ”

I was about to open my mouth to ask a question, but the seventh master waved his hand at me: "You can just listen when we speak, don't speak." ”

The third master walked to the back of the desk and took out a picture scroll from a small box more than half a meter long.

The scroll looked old, yellowed and wrinkled, and the metal trim on the canvas was covered with rust.

The third master first hung the painting on the wall, then took out the second scroll from another box, and carefully hung it on the wall.

These are two very complete portraits, the first painting is an old man riding a bull, and the second painting is a burly middle-aged man, he is very similar to the second master in terms of demeanor and appearance, so that at first I thought that the person in the portrait was the second master.

After the third master straightened the two portraits, he said to me: "These two are the ancestors of our old family." At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the right was respected, and the left was supplemented. And our old family only began to establish a family sect at that time, so Taishang Daojun is on the right, and Zhou Lang is on the left. ”

The seventh master added later: "Taishang Daojun, that is, Taishang Laojun, if in other Taoist sects, the people worship the ancestor, usually they have to worship the Sanqing, but when Zhang Daoling established the Wudou Rice Dao, there was no such thing as Sanqing, and the Taishang Daojun was the only ancestor." Our old family inherited the inheritance of Wudou Midao and worshipped him as the ancestor. ”

Third Master: "The inheritance of our old family's techniques came from Zhang Daoling, and the earliest kung fu inheritance came from Zhou Lie. Do you think he is very similar to the second brother? ”

The seventh master told me not to speak before, and now I can only nod at the third master.

The third master continued to say to me: "Actually, we also suspect now that Zhou Lie is likely to be the ancestor of our old family, and the second master looks like him, which is probably an atavistic phenomenon. Speaking of which, the first generation of the head of the old family's family originally did not have a surname, and he did not change his surname until after the official Cao Wei, but as for the previous surname of the first generation of the head of the family, there is no way to verify it now. ”

The Seventh Master followed closely and said: "In our industry, most of the soldiers worship Jiang Taigong or Guiguzi as their ancestors, and only the Yan family is a special case. Because in our old family, we only seek soldiers, not generals. To put it in layman's terms, the clansmen of the old family's family for generations have only been soldiers, not generals. ”

The third master said: "This is the bottom line of our old family, because we are soldiers, we must gallop on the battlefield, but we will never start a war." It stands to reason that the disciples of the Five Doumi Sect can't kill people, but we are soldiers and have to kill people. Being able to charge on the battlefield and fight for one's life is actually a kind of self-redemption, and for the family, if one day they can be wrapped in the battlefield, it will be the best destination. ”

The seventh master continued: "You are now standing in front of the portrait of the ancestor and listening to me and the third brother finish these words, even if you have worshiped the ancestor." ”

Third Master: "Because in ancient times, soldiers often wore heavy armor and could not salute normally, and all the etiquette was simple. Even if it is to worship the patriarch, you can only simply clasp your hands and bow down. If not, raise your hands. ”

Hearing the words of the third master, I immediately raised my arm.

After that, the third master said to me again: "Hold your fists, make a move, and clasp your hands on the ground." ”

I clenched my hands into fists and slammed my grandfather's portrait to the ground, touching the back of my hand to the ground.

The seventh master helped me up and said to me: "In our industry, no matter what kind of sect it is, you must worship the ancestor, pass the teacher's ceremony, and worship the ancestor master, and you can be regarded as officially entering the family of the family." After that, you have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of continuing the family inheritance, even if you are the only one left in the family, you must let this inheritance be passed on from generation to generation. ”

When he said this, the seventh master kept looking at me with deep expectant eyes, although I didn't quite understand what his eyes represented at that time, but he still nodded silently.

The third master carefully put away the portrait on the wall, turned back to me and said, "For our industry, inheritance is the top priority, and we can't lose anything if we lose it." You can speak now. ”

I asked the third master: "Third master, the inheritance you are talking about is the magic and kung fu handed down by our old family, right?" ”

The third master smiled: "Inheritance, it should be said that it is those things in your blood." Okay, while your third grandmother hasn't made breakfast, I'll pass on the two basic exercises to you, the first set is meditation exercises, which is the foundation of the foundation, the so-called meditation is to practice the mind and not be moved by external objects......"

Before the third master finished speaking, the voice of Yu Liyan sounded in the courtyard: "It's time to eat!" ”

In the old couple's house, this is the case, many times, you are concentrating on one thing, but before you can finish it, there will be an unexpected situation that forcibly interrupts your train of thought.

After spending more than a month at my house, I'm used to this kind of thing.

The third master was interrupted by Yan Liyan, and he was not annoyed, but just patted me on the shoulder: "Let's eat first." ”

He rushed into the living room with a huge steamer drawer, and he could smell the fragrance from afar. There was also an elderly woman who entered the house with him, and when I came out of the study, she happened to look at me, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face: "You are just a fool, the third master has often mentioned your affairs these days." ”

The third master followed me out of the study and said to me, "Call the third grandmother." ”

The people in the old family are all in a hurry, and everything is like rushing to reincarnate, but the old woman in front of her gives people a gentle and calm feeling, which makes people feel good.

I immediately showed a big smile and shouted, "Third grandmother." ”

"It's been a long time since I've had a junior at home," the third grandmother said, taking the steaming drawer from Yu Liyan's hand and placing it firmly on the table: "Come, try the embroidered steamed buns I made." ”

The third master looked at the steaming drawer on the table, and couldn't help frowning: "That's it, I'm afraid it's not enough to eat." ”

The third grandmother smiled: "There are still in the kitchen, knowing that this child can eat, I deliberately made all the noodles." Old Seven, you go to the back room and take out all the jerky in the jar, and there is a small jar of pickles in the cupboard, take it out too. ”

The seventh master said "eh" and walked towards the room at the east end of the living room.

At this time, the third grandmother lifted the lid on the steaming drawer, and the light fragrance immediately spread throughout the living room.

When I heard the third master mention the "embroidered steamed buns" before, I thought it was carved on the steamed buns, but when I saw the things in the drawer, I realized that I was wrong, the so-called embroidered steamed buns are actually small balls tied up with red and white noodles, and their size is about the same as the steamed buns, which look like beautiful threads.

Li Yan was about to go back to the kitchen, and the third grandmother beckoned to him: "Li Yan, don't be busy, eat first." ”

Yu Liyan: "If it weren't for the large amount of food, this drawer would not be enough for him to eat alone, so I will go to the kitchen first and bring the remaining drawers over." ”

The third grandmother said, "Let's eat first, and then go and get it after eating, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”

After that, Yu Liyan was not polite anymore, trotted to the sofa, sat down and began to eat.

I didn't eat in the morning, and I was hungry, and when I saw that the third master and the third grandmother had already sat down, I also sat down, and the seventh master soon came over with two small jars.

One jar was filled with shiny jerky, and the other was full of pickles, just smelling the aroma of meat and sauce, I wanted to drool, and when he put the two jars down, I was not polite, grabbed a piece of jerky, and took an embroidered steamed bun from the steaming drawer, and didn't care about the hot mouth, but just stuffed it into my mouth desperately.

I have to say that the third grandmother's cooking skills are really very clever, and I have followed the second master out of the restaurant this month, but no matter what kind of restaurant it is, the craftsmanship is not comparable to the third grandmother.

I was eating comfortably here, and the third master suddenly asked me: "Didn't the second brother tell you to let you have breakfast before seven o'clock in the morning every day, what time is it now?" ”

Yu Liyan replied for me: "Ruofei and I went to the car repair shop and delayed a little time. Third master, I haven't reported to you yet, today we met the little devil at the back door of the garage. ”

The third master immediately frowned: "Why did the little devil go to the car repair shop?" Hey, what are you doing with Ruofei to the car repair shop, didn't I tell you last night, let you take Ruofei to find Lao Qi early in the morning. ”

yes, what were we doing in the garage?

While thinking so, I slowly raised my head and looked at Yu Liyan, who also looked at me with a frown.

After a long time, I and I shouted three words almost at the same time: "Li Huaishan!" ”
