April 16, Chenjiagou.

The excitement in the village has not yet dissipated, and there is another big event, as for what it is, of course, it is apprenticeship.

Teacher, the teacher here is not a master, but a master, the teacher of the Heaven and Earth Monarch's own teacher, the teacher is like a father, and the status relationship is extraordinary.

Therefore, there are many sayings and cumbersome rules, not that if you want to apprentice, you have to accept you, nor does it mean that people have passed on a few tricks to you, even if you are accepted as an apprentice, you really have to take it out and say it, this is a taboo.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were many martial arts rules, although the world was in turmoil, but the times were formed, and the various sects were unprecedentedly prosperous.

Accepting apprentices and apprentices, that means the inheritance of the sect, endlessly, is the foundation of the sect, and we have to be cautious.

Otherwise, if you see the wrong person, accept the wrong apprentice, if you are not good at learning and art, and lose your life, it is small, but if you have a bad heart, bad character, and do the evil thing that hurts the heavens and reason, you will lose face at least and lose face at worst, and the sect will wither and collapse, and it will be too late to regret it.

People have to talk about rules, and without rules, it is difficult to make a circle.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, rules are more like being used to restrain people, but in Wumen, a person's virtue and character are weighed by rules, heaven and earth are common, courtesy, righteousness and shame, this is the rule.

The apprentice is Su Hongxin.

As for the person to worship, of course, it is Li Shuwen.

In the past, if the big boxer accepted the apprentice, it was to invite the martial arts colleagues to come to watch the ceremony, not only to be a witness, but also to let the new disciples pass on the name, familiarity;

And there are many people with many rules in the headache, want to apprentice, you have to have someone to recommend, and then worship the post, serve tea, kneel three times and knock nine times, together with the apprenticeship, the placement of tables and chairs, what needs to be offered in the hall, light incense and candles, fine to the number of roots, and the order of lighting incense, there can be no mistakes at all.

Today, however, everything is simple.

There are not many people, but all of them are well-known figures in the martial arts, and there are a few Chen family members, and this meeting is considered rare.

There is no need to pay any respects, after all, Su Hongxin is now regarded as a master with art, in terms of fame, not to mention the fame of the north and the south, but the northern martial arts is also a well-known figure, as long as he serves a cup of tea, three kneels and nine knocks, even if the love of the master and apprentice is hooked, in the future, if he does not do anything to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, betray the country and seek glory, and other great evil things, death, he is Li Shuwen's apprentice.

After surviving two days of newlywed Yan'er, Su Hongxin can be regarded as relieved, today he changed into a clean plain blue robe and is waiting outside the door.

In the main hall, the chairs on the left and right sides are placed opposite each other, four or four opposite, there is a portrait of the martial saint Guan Yunchang hanging on the hall, and there is a Taishi chair in front of the portrait.

The sitting side is headed by Li Cunyi, followed by Wang Wu, Yanzi Li San, Huo Yuanjia, and on the right is several clan elders and clans of Chenjiagou, headed by Su Hongxin and his father-in-law, the old man's name is Chen Tianxiao, not the oldest, but he is the nephew of "Chen Changxing", the clan has a high seniority, and he is Su Hongxin's father-in-law, so he sat in the first place.

Su Hongxin saw this posture, and he was secretly relieved, what he was most afraid of was the rules, but the rules of the martial arts can only be regarded as cumbersome, and the rules of the "executioner" really made people's scalps tingle, when his grandfather told him before, he could simply scare people's courage, fortunately, this job is ancestral.

"The hour has come, come in!"

Li Cunyi greeted with a smile.

Only then did he see Su Hongxin walk in, thinking back to the rules of three kneeling and nine knocking, he lifted the hem of his clothes, and the first step in entering the door was already kneeling, prostrate and bow, and knock on the ground three times with his forehead.

One worship three knocks, three worship nine knocks, worship is heaven and earth, knock is three relatives, one parent with the same teacher, two relatives with the same door, three parents with the same martial arts.

Li Shuwen's somewhat unsmiling face now showed a few smiles.

I saw Su Hongxin bow to the end, stay until the three knocks are over, and when he walks to the hall, he kneels again, bows three times.

In terms of martial arts, Li Shuwen and him don't say that they will win or lose, but now he is at least a little bit sure of being undefeated, unlike at the beginning, he was almost killed by a shot, and now he has obtained the "Tai Chi Mixed Yuan Jin" from Su Su, as long as he has a dark strength, a combination of rigidity and softness, and martial arts alone, even if he meets those great masters in the capital, he is also sure to wrench his wrist.

However, for the person in front of him, he knelt willingly, not for others, but for the word "respect".

After three knocks, Su Hongxin walked in front of Li Shuwen, lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt down, bowed prostrately, and knocked three times.

"Master is above, disciple Hongxin has given you a salute!"

Li Shuwen's lips moved, and he smiled: "Okay!"

Chen Xiaobraid on the side came over with a cup of tea.

"Master, please have tea!"

Su Hong believes in the tea ceremony.

"Good!"

Li Shuwen is not good at talking, as if he can only say that one word, he took the tea with a smile, and after taking three sips, he put down the teacup, thought about it in a deep voice, and then said in a deep voice: "In the future, you are a person from my Baji Gate, your martial arts are extraordinary, and your roots are extraordinary, although I worship my disciples, but I have learned, in addition to gunnery, fist and foot kung fu may be difficult to guide you, but you need to remember, to guard against arrogance and rashness, what we practice, is just a breath, breath constantly, when the momentum is like a dragon and a tiger leaping, step by step mountaineering, step by step!"

After speaking, Li Shuwen reached out and took out a book from his arms.

"The knife technique you practice, but the weapon is an extension of the siblings after all, the so-called change is not separated from its ancestry, this is my half-life spear experience, I give it to you today, I hope it will be beneficial to your knife technique, okay, get up!"

"Remember, disciple, thank you, Master!"

Su Hongxin took a deep breath, took the book with both hands, and stood up.

"Haha, Hongxin, now that you have apprenticed, should you change our name!" Seeing that Licheng was successful, Wang Wu was already impatient, and said with a smile.

"Yes, it does!"

Old man Li Cunyi smiled.

"Not bad!"

Even Li Shuwen spoke.

Su Hongxin pursed his lips, but still clasped his fists and saluted: "I've seen Uncle Wang, I've seen Uncle Li, I've seen Uncle Li, I've seen Brother Yuanjia!"

By the time he finished speaking, several people were already happy.

"Haha, you evil tiger, there are times when you suffer, you are really happy, happy!"

If there is a reunion, they will naturally part, and when everyone laughs and talks, they will finish, but seeing Wang Wu's expression, he said: "Hongxin, since the matter here is over, we should also go back, there are still many things waiting for us in Jinmen!"

Su Hongxin looked at the people with complicated expressions, he knew the thoughts of these people very well, and didn't say anything to keep them, but said: "Okay, I won't keep you, but before parting, let's have a few more drinks, and I'll go back to Tianjin to find you later!"

Everyone shook their heads and laughed.

There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed,

At noon, a round of wine, everyone is happy, but after all, it is inevitable to separate, life is not like this, get together in a hurry, leave in a hurry.

But who knows, this farewell, seeing each other again, is actually ......
