Chapter 55: Domineering Leakage
Of course, the reason why the news is relatively slow, in addition to the reason for the speed of delivery, is that the popularity of the Shenhou Mansion is not high.
In Zhuge Zheng's style, the Shenhou Mansion is taking the pro-people route, which is the opposite of the six doors of the deep prison, coupled with the short time since its establishment, I am afraid that at this moment, in addition to the six doors known in the capital, some slightly remote places may not even have heard of it, in this case, the news of the Shenhou Mansion is naturally not as fast as other mainstream news.
If it is replaced by six doors being seized, I am afraid that it will only take a day and night, and the entire rivers and lakes will know about it, this is the difference between the two!
"But even if it's six doors, it's impossible to seal the Shenhou Mansion casually, right? I remember that Zhuge Zheng should have the royal gold medal of the saint in my hand, unless the god catcher dares to risk disobeying the will, it is absolutely impossible to do this kind of thing! â
Zhang Yang smiled bitterly and said some of the conflicts that occurred between the two sides, but he didn't talk much about An Shigeng's news, but said very vaguely that the person who did it this time was not the six doors, nor the imperial court, but Cai Xiang, who oversaw the power as a courtier!
"It's actually Cai Xiang, no wonder...... I said, even if he gave the god of capture ten dares, he wouldn't dare to contradict the gold medal, since it was Cai Xiang's shot, it would be no surprise. The old Taoist priest also gasped when he heard this, obviously compared to other things, the word Cai Xiang was more weighty.
Cai Xiang refers to the current prime minister, Cai Jing, Gao Yu, Tong Guan and others are known as one of the four traitors in history. At this moment, it is in the middle of the day, and with the assistance of the An family behind him, it can be said that Cai Xiang is calling for wind and rain in the court. Take over the power. As long as you put on the yellow coat and sit on the dragon chair, you will be the emperor.
This news made the old Taoist priest silent for a while. is obviously analyzing the pros and cons, and Zhang Yang also took advantage of this time to observe the old Taoist. The old Taoist priest looked to be about sixty years old. The hair is gray, each is not too tall, and there are several patches on a white-washed Taoist robe, which shows that the other party's living situation should not be good.
It's just that Zhang Yang knows very well that these religious people tend to pay more attention to spiritual food, and generally have relatively low material conditions. Grab food from the pockets of the gods, but use the money to build temples or Taoist temples, and reshape the golden body for the ancestors, the Sanqing Buddha, the Jade Emperor and the like.
A man with a cup of tea was studying with interest the small hole behind the statue, where the wooden box had been hidden. It is worth mentioning that the wooden box that was painstakingly hidden by the old Taoist priest was held tightly in his hand by the old Taoist priest at this moment. but he refused to give it to anyone.
Although he didn't know what secrets were in this empty box, Zhang Yang wisely didn't ask, but waited for the old Taoist priest's answer. After all, the purpose of his trip was to find this old Taoist priest. Then learned martial arts from the other party, and under Zhuge Zheng's recommendation, Zhang Yang still had high hopes for this learning trip.
The old Taoist priest quickly came back to his senses. After smiling apologetically, he brought up the most crucial topic and said, "That's the case." Are you going to learn martial arts from the poor Dao? â
"Finally willing to get to the point......" Zhang Yang had tears in his heart, but there was a respectful expression on his face. Nodding. The old Taoist priest said thoughtfully:
"Although my martial arts are gone, my vision is still there. From the contact just now, your character is quite qualified, and the person who can be favored by Zhuge Zheng and me will not be a big traitor. â
And Zhang Yang also learned later that the so-called new book assessment is commonly known as the political examination, or checking the household registration or something, mainly when the master has to carefully examine the character of the apprentice, and this inspection period is very interesting. If it is short, it may be decided in a few sentences like Zhang Yang, and if it is long, it may not be a few years, or even more than ten years!
This made Zhang Yang deeply aware of the strictness of the inheritance between master and apprentice in ancient times, and in history, the inheritance between master and apprentice was not so simple. Aside from the martial arts rivers and lakes, even if it is a carpenter, who does not have a few unique skills? Want to learn? Then be an apprentice first, serve tea and water to the master, pinch the shoulders and wash the feet, do whatever work is the most tiring and dirty, do it for a few years, and wait until the master is satisfied, this is the real apprentice!
Zhang Yang remembers that when he was a child, he saw a carpenter, who was well-known in all directions, and the villagers who wanted to make furniture, cabinets, tables, stools, etc., all asked each other to help build them. In addition to the wood brought by itself or bought with money, the quality of the furniture is just, nothing to say. Zhang Yang often goes to an old man's house, there is a pear wood cabinet built more than 40 years ago, and the caster of this pear wood cabinet is the master of this carpenter!
From the legend in the township, Zhang Yang learned that this carpenter followed the master as an apprentice for eight years in order to learn this unique skill, apprenticed at the age of fifteen, and did not let the master relax until he was twenty-three years old, and officially accepted as a closed disciple.
It can also be known from this that the inheritance between master and apprentice is often very strict, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as harsh and somewhat perverted, after all, there is an old saying: the apprentice of the church starves the master. So much so that the masters are often reluctant to pass on the craftsmanship of guarding the house casually, which is also based on this consideration.
And to practice martial arts, it is naturally best to lay a foundation from a young age, because although the period of investigation is not as long as that of other industries, but there is also a year or two, after all, once martial arts are passed on, it will not be recovered. If the disciples of the disciples practice martial arts and go around doing wrong, then in the end, the master has to follow the rules of the rivers and lakes and take action himself, or let the disciples do the work for him and clean up the portal!
It was Zhang Yang who was quite excited that the old Taoist priest could pass through this level so quickly. Of course, he also knew that even if the old Taoist priest needed to inspect himself, the system would never really let him wait for ten or eight years, which was simply unrealistic.
The mental assessment is clear, which means that there seems to be a door for Zhang Yang's apprenticeship, of course, you can't call the other party's master now, unless it is a formal kowtow and a big salute, and someone with an identity is invited to witness the acceptance of apprentices, which is a formal process. Of course, according to the actual situation, or the actual economic level, the apprenticeship process is simple and complicated, for example, at present, it is impossible to expect the old Taoist priest to set up more than a dozen tables to entertain guests.
And the old Taoist priest has been a monk for so many years, and he has long looked at these cumbersome rules, and he doesn't pay attention to them, so he quickly ordered Zhang Yang to stand up, stretched out his hand and groped around Zhang Yang's body a few times, and pinched it, obviously observing Zhang Yang's physical condition and whether he was suitable for practicing his own martial arts.
Zhang Yang is naturally healthy, even if he is disabled, there is a system to save zĂ i, he can also spend a certain price to regenerate the limbs, coupled with the direction of system strengthening, it is to develop towards the healthiest side of the human body, so that there will be no hidden dangers and other problems.
The old Taoist priest touched it and looked quite satisfied, which made Zhang Yang breathe a sigh of relief.
He knows that the best time to learn martial arts is when children are young, when children's bones are softer and more plastic, while adult bones are often fixed, and the most direct embodiment is when dancing. A girl who started a series of shaping exercises such as leg presses and lower waist when she was a child and a girl who started to get into dance when she grew up, the foundation is absolutely different.
A leg press alone is enough to make the adult girl die of pain directly, and it is not so exaggerated to be a child. (This is true, I don't believe you can search for it casually, find videos of adults practicing leg presses, the scream that hurts, .......)
Generally speaking, if nothing else, people in the martial arts rarely accept adults as apprentices, the first is the reason for the root bones, and the second is from children to adults, and the long time in between can be practiced internal skills. Compared with a person who has been cultivating internal strength for ten years, and a person who has just started, the gap is huge. And in the absence of accidents, this gap is basically impossible to bridge.
Of course, Zhang Yang doesn't have this problem, anyway, as long as the system task is completed, the internal force is not a problem......
After signaling Zhang Yang to sit down, the old Taoist priest was still a little hesitant.
"I took a general look, your bones are okay, and there shouldn't be any big problems in cultivating my kung fu. It's just ......, you're already twenty years old now, and you're only starting to practice martial arts now, I'm afraid there may not be any progress. The most important thing is the internal force, my kung fu, you must have a strong internal force to be able to exert power, the stronger the internal force, the greater the power. â
Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and thought that the old Taoist priest said that he was not suitable, but it was not good to point it out directly, so he had to vaguely pull out a reason:
"Dao Chief. In fact, the speed at which I learn martial arts has always been relatively fast, and it is my dream to learn martial arts. And don't forget that I'm not an ordinary person, you can't look at me by the standards of ordinary people, such as my telekinesis, just this I can face a lot of swords, guns and arrows without changing color, but as an ordinary person, does he dare, can he? â
Obviously, the last sentence sounds a little too arrogant, and there is such a loss of domineering side leakage, if it is heard by outsiders, it will not be cleaned up, but Zhang Yang used this sentence to express his heart and self-confidence freely! (To be continued......)
