Chapter 4: The Test of Accepting Disciples

Looking at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling in front of him, Zhao Mingyuan didn't know whether to say that the luck of the two was too strong, and they found themselves so easily, or whether to say that they were too close to the longevity formula.

It can't be their luck that sends them to themselves. Do you know that the two of them will reap the benefits when they meet themselves?

Hearing that the two of them intended to apprentice, Zhao Mingyuan was indeed a little moved.

It's not that he wants to accept disciples now. After all, the previous half of the disciple You Tanzhi didn't give him a good feeling.

However, for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, Zhao Mingyuan did intend to take them in.

This is because Zhao Mingyuan had thought about choosing an emperor to give it a try before. Now, isn't Kou Zhong the best candidate to be sent to him.

After all, the relationship between master and apprentice is still extremely close these years, just like father and son.

Master, Master, as the name suggests, is both a teacher and a father. That says it all.

Even people in the evil sect and demon sect have always been despised for deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors.

There is only the wonder of the Demon Gate Flower Sect, and when he left the school, he had to fight hard with the master. With such a rule, even if he was lucky that the Huajian faction had not broken off the inheritance, how could it be carried forward?

Moreover, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling not only have amazing qualifications, but also have good temperaments and pay attention to feelings. As long as it is good to them, they will definitely reciprocate.

Even if the two of them have some weaknesses, if Zhao Mingyuan can teach them carefully, coupled with the luck of the two, they may really be able to reverse the destiny of heaven and defeat Li Shimin, even if they dominate the world, it may not be impossible.

Thinking of this, Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but be a little eager to try.

After all, Zhao Mingyuan has learned many things over the years, but unfortunately most of them can't be used.

This makes him sometimes wonder if it is a waste of time to learn so many things by himself, and it is better to concentrate on practicing martial arts.

Fortunately, after so many years of study, there are not many aspects that Zhao Mingyuan has not yet dabbled in.

Besides, one law can be used, and one hundred laws can be used.

Now Zhao Mingyuan has learned very quickly even if he is exposed to a new knowledge, so he can persevere.

However, I thought that I could train two geniuses into two all-round people, and then conquer the Quartet, unify the world, and change the destiny of heaven. Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but feel hot in his heart and wanted to give it a try?

Hey? No, why didn't I see the two of them for a long time, why did I suddenly want to accept apprentices, is this also the influence of luck?

When Zhao Mingyuan thought of this, his face suddenly changed. Could it be that their luck is so strong that even a traveler like themselves cannot be spared and will be affected by it?

Or is the world you come from more and more advanced, and the influence of these mysterious things is getting stronger and stronger.

In short, Zhao Mingyuan became vigilant in his heart.

Maybe Zhao Mingyuan is just fighting wits and courage with the air, but he would rather be prepared than be defenseless.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at Zhao Mingyuan in front of them for a while, and looked at the two of them with joy in their eyes for a while, and then their faces were full of surprise and vigilance, their expressions kept changing, and the mood of the two of them also went up and down.

After all, if the two can worship Zhao Mingyuan as a teacher, it will be a rare opportunity for the two.

If you miss this village, you won't have this shop.

The two did not dare to be careless.

However, he didn't dare to disturb Zhao Mingyuan's thoughts at this moment. can only wait slowly for the judgment of fate.

After a while, Zhao Mingyuan came back to his senses and made up his mind.

Seeing that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were still kneeling on the ground, he hurriedly said, "You two get up, it's not so easy to be my apprentice." ”

The two looked sad, but suddenly happy.

Although Zhao Mingyuan rejected the apprenticeship of the two, he did not say death.

Obviously, listening to Zhao Mingyuan's tone, he seemed to be a little hesitant in his heart.

Kou Zhong immediately said: "Please also ask the hero to make it clear." If there is any requirement or test for our two brothers, you can command, hero. ”

Xu Ziling also said: "Hero, we are both brothers, people who know how to repay kindness. I will treat you as a father and brother, and I will repay you well. ”

Zhao Mingyuan saw that although this alley was remote, there was another downtown not far away, and people came and went, not a place for conversation.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan said: "I don't want your curse to swear, and there is no test, I just want to ask you a simple question, and you can answer it truthfully." ”

Although listening to Zhao Mingyuan say that it was a simple question, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling knew that this question could never be simple, and it might be related to the fate of the two.

Suddenly, both of them tightened their hearts and said, "Hero, may you ask!" ”

Zhao Mingyuan looked at the nervous faces of the two and said, "Take it easy, it's not a difficult question, it's all very simple, you just need to answer the thoughts in your heart truthfully." ”

Zhao Mingyuan then spoke: "Let me ask you, what is your dream?" Or rather, what do you want to be? ”

Kou Zhong blurted out: "I want to be the prime minister, and Ling Shao will become a general." ”

For a moment, there was silence in the alley, and no one spoke again. The sound of cars and horses hawking can be heard in the street not far away, which can be heard clearly.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling thought that Zhao Mingyuan would laugh at them.

After all, they were just two ordinary gangsters in Yangzhou City.

Although the two usually call themselves "Yangzhou Shuanglong", they are determined to get ahead and become great characters.

However, in fact, the two of them are living no different from beggars now, and they even survive by stealing chickens and dogs.

Now, they are ashamed to say that they want to be prime ministers and generals.

Usually the two of them say this in private, but now they actually say it in front of this master, isn't it shameful?

The two couldn't help but look up at Zhao Mingyuan, but saw that although Zhao Mingyuan had a smile on his face, it seemed to be appreciative and interested, but it was definitely not ridicule.

Zhao Mingyuan listened to Kou Zhong's words, nodded, looked at Xu Ziling, and said, "His dream is said, what about yours?" Tell us about your real dreams? Don't be influenced by his dreams and say what is most truly in your heart. ”

Xu Ziling saw that Kou Zhong clearly said that he wanted to be a general, but Zhao Mingyuan must ask his thoughts again, and repeatedly emphasized that he should say what he really thinks in his heart, and not be affected by Kou Zhong's words.

With Xu Ziling's cleverness, he quickly understood what Zhao Mingyuan meant, and he couldn't help but ponder in his heart, was it really his own idea to become a general, or was it the idea that Kou Zhong instilled in him.

Xu Ziling understands that becoming a prime minister and a general has always been Kou Zhong's idea.

Of course, both of them are unwilling to be gangsters for a lifetime, and they both have the idea of getting ahead in their hearts and want to be big officials. As for whether they are prime ministers or generals, the two have no concept of this, and there is no difference in their hearts.

In short, the two just want to be big officials and make a fortune, and they don't want to be gangsters for the rest of their lives.

But Zhao Mingyuan repeatedly emphasized that he must say what he really thinks in his heart.

Xu Ziling knew that this issue was very critical and might be related to the fate of the two in the future.

If you miss this opportunity, I don't know if there will be another chance.

Xu Ziling couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, thinking carefully, what did he want in his heart, what was his real thought?

But the more he thought about it, the more nervous he became, and a cold sweat broke out on his head.

After all, although Xu Ziling is indeed clever and talented, he is only twelve years old. In the face of things that may affect the two of them for the rest of their lives, it is naturally difficult to answer.

Seeing this, Zhao Mingyuan hurriedly said, "Don't be nervous, it's actually nothing."

You just have to say what you think.

There is no right or wrong in dreams.

Whatever your answer is, it has nothing to do with whether or not I take you as a disciple. ”

When Xu Ziling heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he gritted his teeth and said, "One world, two brothers."

Since Kou Zhong wants to be the prime minister and the general, then I will accompany him.

Regardless of whether he gets ahead or kills people and sets fires, he is willing to accompany him in the water and fire of being a brother. ”

Hearing this, Kou Zhong was very moved, and couldn't help but say: "One world, two brothers." Whatever Ling Shao wants to do, I will definitely accompany you. ”

"Zhong Shao!"

"Ling Shao!"

Looking at the two affectionate and passionate pictures. Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but shudder and took two steps back.

Sure enough, for the two of them, whether it is a thousand miles of rivers and mountains or a beautiful woman in an alluring city, it is secondary. In the hearts of the two of them, the other party is the most important thing.

The two seemed to think that their answer would not satisfy Zhao Mingyuan, and they had little hope for apprenticeship. After venting their brotherhood, the two stood up on their own.

Zhao Mingyuan said at this time: "Okay, you take me to your residence." ”

When the two of them heard this, their hearts were ecstatic and jumped up with joy.

Then, the two of them wanted to kneel down again and meet the master, but they were stopped by Zhao Mingyuan.

Zhao Mingyuan said: "I haven't decided to accept you two as apprentices. Now I just need a place to stay, and you two don't lead the way yet? ”

The two thought that Zhao Mingyuan might have a bit of an arrogant personality, but of course it might be a fact, the two only passed the first test, and they don't know how many tests there will be later.

Thinking of this, the two of them led the way in front with trepidation.

The two of them just turned around, but they heard Zhao Mingyuan behind them sigh and said, "I hope you two can not forget your original intention, always remember today's answer, and don't lose yourself." ”

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling listened to Zhao Mingyuan's sigh behind them, and always felt that what he said was meaningful and meant something else.

Although they didn't know what they meant, they both nodded yes and replied, "Thank you Master for your advice." ”

Zhao Mingyuan said: "Don't call me Master, you remember my name, my name is Zhao Mingyuan." ”

Kou Zhong smiled, "Then let's call you Master." Famous teachers make high apprentices. You are a famous teacher, and we are a high disciple. ”

Zhao Mingyuan smiled, but he didn't refuse.

However, when it comes to famous teachers, Zhao Mingyuan thought to himself that he would not insult these two words.
