016 【Apprenticeship】
Li Zhuoyi and Ling Lao talked happily about the issue of martial arts, and they chatted until noon, when Li Zhuoyi was about to leave, and Ling Lao tried his best to keep Li Zhuoyi at home for dinner.
At the dinner table, Li Zhuoyi was arranged to sit in the main seat, Ling Yu served him on his left side, and Ling Lao, who was sitting on his left hand, held a wine cup and toasted to Li Zhuoyi.
"This is the Moutai that I treasured when I founded the country, and it has a history of almost sixty or seventy years, although it can't be called the elixir and jade liquid, but it is also the treasure at the bottom of my box, I hope the master can not dislike it, drink a few more cups!"
Playing with the blue and white porcelain wine cup in his hand, looking at the style and color of the glaze on it, Li Zhuo immediately knew that this was the most famous blue and white porcelain in the Hutian kiln of Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty, since the Ling family dared to take the antiques of the Yuan Dynasty as a wine cup, the wine in the cup would naturally not be too bad, Li Zhuo nodded slightly, and drank the wine in the cup.
The entrance of the wine, the taste is very mellow, the hops are long-lasting, the wine is poured and drawn, the hanging cup is obvious, the wine is full, the sauce fragrance overflows without pungent, the entrance is soft and not irritating, it does not burn the stomach, the aftertaste is a little sweet, and it is not on the top after drinking!
In general, although it is far from the elixir and jade liquid that Li Zhuoyi drank in the other world, on the earth, this wine can be regarded as the best!
Seeing that Li Zhuoyi was quite satisfied, Ling Lao hurriedly struck the iron while it was hot.
"Master, these side dishes are carefully designed for you, please try them!"
The table was full of exquisite dishes, and Li Zhuoyi chose a plate of ordinary green vegetables and took a bite.
Unexpectedly, it seems to be an ordinary green vegetable, but it melts in the mouth, obviously after the special technique of soup cooking, Li Zhuoyi tasted carefully, a small green vegetable, actually contains abalone, fresh mushrooms, pork bones, ginseng and other ingredients boiled soup essence!
It can be seen that the Ling family attaches great importance to him, so whether it is tableware or wine and food for lunch, it is also designed with a variety of tricks!
Ling Yu, who had been waiting carefully around Li Zhuoyi, suddenly knelt down in front of Li Zhuoyi and pleaded: "Senior Ling Yu, I want to learn from the master, and I hope the master can accept me as an apprentice!"
Looking at Ling Lao's face, without the slightest expression of surprise, Li Zhuoyi only then understood that this lunch turned out to be a 'Hongmen Banquet', and everything was designed by others!
As the saying goes, eating people with short mouths and taking people with short hands, Li Zhuoyi took all of them whether he took them or ate them, and he had no choice but to accept Ling Yu as an apprentice, but the matter of accepting apprentices was not a child's play, so he decided to test Ling Yu's qualifications before making a conclusion.
"In addition to character, the most important qualification for me to accept apprentices, you first practice this 'Ling Clan Fist Method' with Ling Lao, if you can cultivate to the third-rate realm within three months, I will accept you as an apprentice! If you can't, you can only be a registered disciple of mine!"
"Thank you, Master!"
"Thank you, master!" Ling Yu and Ling Lao were overjoyed, they could worship a young master like Li Zhuoyi, who was less than thirty years old, as a teacher, and the future would definitely be like a flower, if it weren't for Ling Laodu's age and couldn't put aside his old face, he would also like to be able to worship Li Zhuoyi as a teacher!
was about to leave, and when he said goodbye, the phone in Li Zhuoyi's pocket rang, and when he saw that it was an unfamiliar number, Li Zhuoyi hesitated for a few seconds and still answered.
A hurried voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, is it Brother Li?"
"Are you?" asked Li Zhuoyi, puzzled.
"I'm Shen Geng, Shen Biao's distant cousin, Brother Li, my brother has an accident!"
"Don't worry, tell me, what's wrong with Shen Biao?" Listening to the faint crying on the other end of the phone, Li Zhuoyi already had a premonition.
"That's the ......!" After listening to Li Zhuoyi's persuasion, Shen Geng on the other end of the phone calmed down and told Li Zhuoyi the ins and outs of the whole thing, and ten minutes later, Li Zhuoyi hung up the phone with a gloomy face.
At this time, Ling Lao came over, and without asking about the specific situation, he said directly: "If the master needs help, everything is ordered, no matter what, our Ling family will share the ups and downs with you!"
A sentence of wind and rain expresses Ling Lao's determination to put the entire Ling family on Li Zhuo's body!
"Okay, with your sentence of sharing the wind and rain, no matter what danger your Ling family is in the future, I, Li Zhuoyi, will not stand idly by!"
Ling Lao was overjoyed in his heart, and what he did was a promise made by Li Zhuoyi to the Ling family, and he felt that it was worth it!
He was already a ninety-year-old man, if it weren't for Li Zhuoyi's appearance, he would have been in the coffin a few days ago, and he knew that the prosperity in front of the Ling family was all due to his own reasons.
In those years when he stood at the top level, Ling Lao knew that the struggle in the peaceful years was as cruel as the war years, and he could be wiped out if he was not careful, Ling Lao knew that if he left, the enemies of the Ling family over the years would definitely not let go of this opportunity to step on the Ling family, at that time, all the ghosts, snakes, and gods would jump out and try their best to destroy everything in the Ling family.
Although he is not an insatiable person who is obsessed with glory and wealth, he also does not want his children and grandchildren to be bullied after his death!
He was well aware of the terrifying potential of a young martial arts master, so he tried his best to curry favor with Li Zhuoyi, wanting the Ling family to hug Li Zhuoyi's big tree, so that even if he was a hundred years later, the Ling family could have a backer to rely on.
Therefore, as soon as he saw that Li Zhuoyi was in trouble, he was willing to press the entire Ling family on Li Zhuoyi regardless of the size of the matter, this was not his impulsiveness and irrationality!
On the contrary, he has a long-term vision and knows that a character like Li Zhuoyi will soar into the sky sooner or later, and when he is high up, he will come to the icing on the cake again, which is far from being more popular than when he is weak now!
"Elder Ling, farewell!"
"Farewell!" Ling Lao replied, then turned to Ling Yu and said, "Master is like parents, from today onwards, you will follow your master during the day, and if Master Li has any difficulties, you will help him solve them, and if it is okay at night, you will come home again!"
"Yes!"
Grandpa's arrangement is exactly what Ling Yu wants, he follows this ninety-year-old man every day, either to take care of the old man's diet and daily life, or to follow the old man to fight boxing and go to the park, making him, a restless guy in his early twenties, almost moldy, although Li Zhuoyi is his master, but he is also the same age, it is much better than following the old man!
"Master, let's go!"
"Elder Ling (grandpa), let's go!"
After a while, the extended Lincoln with a special license plate drove out, but the driver of the car became Ling Yu, he personally got out of the car and opened the door for Li Zhuoyi, and waited until Li Zhuoyi sat down, and then happily said goodbye to his grandfather with Li Zhuoyi.
Looking at the elongated Lincoln's distant figure, Ling Lao laughed and said, "I don't know which unlucky ghost provoked the evil god of the master, this time, there will be bitter fruits to eat!"
As the old saying goes, the emperor is angry and ambushes millions of corpses, and the blood flows like a river! Martial arts masters, although they are not as powerful as the ancient emperors, but their strength is also like a prince, and if they are provoked, they will have to pay a painful price!
