Chapter 39: Formal Apprenticeship

"Dad, here's the information you want. ”

In the evening, in a high-end villa in Maocheng, a middle-aged man came to Yang Zhen who was reading a book in the study with a document.

This person's name is Yang Ye, and he is Yang Zhen's eldest son.

"Well, I'm sorry for you. You should have read this information too, tell your dad what you think of this young man, Qiao Xiu?"

Yang Zhen took the document from his son's hand and did not rush to look through it, but looked up at his son and asked.

"Well, how to say it, he used to be an ordinary child with good character but average ability, but now, he can be regarded as a relatively potential martial arts talent. ”

According to the results of his own investigation, Yang Ye gave his own judgment.

In general, it is still relatively pertinent, impartial, and not mixed with personal emotions.

"Well, based on the survey data alone, that's not wrong. ”

Yang Zhen listened to his son's evaluation and was a little undeniable.

"Oh, Dad, is there any other special potential for this young man?"

As a son, Yang Ye naturally knows his father better, and when he saw his expression, he knew that there was something missing from his investigation.

There is no way, the time is relatively short, and the information he can investigate is only the ones that have traces before today.

The latest news is that Qiao Xiu defeated He Zhengxiong in vacuum fighting at the Honghu Martial Arts Hall.

Because it was a morning event, there were many people present at the time, and the news had spread on a small scale.

As for the later fights with Daoist Zhang Heng and Tie Niu, they were all conducted in private, and they were not known to outsiders for the time being.

"Well, you know, today he came to the martial arts hall to ask me about martial arts. I took a fancy to his qualifications, so I took a serious shot. It turned out well, and although he was hallucinating under the pressure of my fist intent, he had already gotten rid of himself by the time I came to him. ”

That's right, when fighting during the day, Yang Zhen only withdrew his fist intent when he saw Qiao Xiu forcibly get rid of the influence of his fist intent and came to his senses, not that he took back his fist intent Qiao Xiu came to his senses.

This is a subtle difference that is difficult to distinguish from the scene, and the meaning of the representation can be described as very different.

"Isn't it? How could it be, he's a mid-first order transcendent, right?"

After listening to his father's words, it was Yang Ye's turn to be shocked.

Even now, as a transcendent martial artist who was close to breaking through to the second order in the late stage of the first order, it was difficult for him to get rid of the influence when facing his father's serious fist intent.

The gap between a large-level cultivation and a half-large-level spiritual will realm is an insurmountable barrier.

If Qiao Xiu was really able to do this kind of thing as his father said, then his potential would be terrifying.

"Otherwise, why do you think I care so much about a young man? Based on his performance alone, he is the highest of all the young people I have ever met, and his physical fitness is also amazingly good, better than that kid of Iron Bull, and he is simply the best candidate for my closed disciple. ”

Yang Zhen faced his son, naturally he didn't need to hide his thoughts and goals.

"Oh, no wonder, then father, are you planning to accept this young man named Qiao Xiu as a disciple?"

As a son, Yang Ye knew that his father had always had the idea of accepting a talented disciple to inherit the mantle.

It is ashamed to say that although he is not only Yang Zhen's eldest son, but also the eldest disciple of the Eight Desolation Martial Arts Gym, because of his slightly inferior martial arts qualifications and his preference for business, he cannot meet his father's requirements in martial arts, and it is difficult to support the name of the Eight Desolation Boxing Gym.

The other juniors and sisters were in a similar situation, either because they lacked qualifications or were distracted by other things, and they couldn't satisfy their father.

So since a few years ago, my father began to look around for suitable candidates for closed disciples.

It's a pity that martial arts training itself is a niche thing, especially before the world changes, good talents are hard to find, and my father's wish has not been realized.

It's good to meet an iron bull before, but the iron bull already has a teacher, and he is still a master of the famous heavy-fist fighting school on the other side of the ocean, and he is also the uncle of the iron bull.

After understanding the situation, Yang Zhen reluctantly gave up the idea of accepting Tie Niu as an apprentice.

Now that a Qiao Xiu has appeared, it seems that his father's long-term wish can come true.

Thinking of this, Yang Ye was happy for his father in his heart.

"Well, I'm not sure for the time being, it depends on the decision. ”

Yang Zhen was in a good mood at this time, but because the matter had not yet been decided, he did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to successfully accept Qiao Xiu as an apprentice.

"Don't worry, Dad, since that kid has seen your strength, and knows your status and personality, he won't refuse. According to the information of the investigation, he should not have a teacher. But since he has grown to this point in such a short time, maybe he got some chance in that vision. ”

Yang Ye's words revealed some hidden information.

"Well, you're analyzing. At that vision more than a month ago, I don't know how many people in the world got the opportunity, and I am afraid that in the future, dragons and snakes will rise to land, and the demons will dance wildly, and I don't know if I will be able to maintain the current stability at that time?"

After listening to Yang Ye's words and thinking of the changes in the world, Yang Zhen's tone had a little more foresight.

"Don't worry, Dad, no matter how it changes, there is still an official presence, and it is easy to mess up. ”

Yang Ye actually had this concern in his heart, but he still said with relief.

"Well, I hope so. ”

Yang Zhen is not a worrying character, and he quickly let go of that worry.

"We'll wait for tomorrow and hopefully it's good news. ”

"Yes, Dad. ”

......

At the same time, Qiao Xiu on the other side began to look up all the information about Yang Zhen on the Internet when he returned to his eldest brother after eating.

Since you have almost decided to apprentice, you naturally want to know as much as you can about each other

Unfortunately, due to the lack of access, there is not much useful information from the Internet, and it is all very basic personal information.

Fortunately, the comments on the Internet about the Eight Desolation Martial Arts Hall and the Bafang Group are good, which can also reflect Yang Zhen's personality.

"Judging from today's relationship, it feels very good. ”

After checking the information, Qiao Xiu carefully recalled the process of meeting and getting along today, and found nothing wrong.

"Forget it, let's do it for now, and I'll go over tomorrow. ”

There are thighs sent to the door, don't hug the white, hug it first, and then talk about it.

With the final decision in his heart, Qiao Xiu didn't think about it anymore.

He first finished today's novel update, then turned off the computer, put down his phone, took a shower, and finally practiced a round of breathing before going back to bed.

The next morning, Qiao Xiu got up and finished breakfast, so he called Yang Zhen to explain the situation.

Yang Zhen was very happy when he learned that Qiao Xiu agreed to apprentice, and he immediately made an appointment with Qiao Xiu to meet at the Eight Desolations Martial Arts Hall.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xiu cleaned up and went out alone.

Because today is Monday, the eldest brother has to go to work early, so there is no way to drive to accompany him.

Qiao Xiu took all his belongings and went downstairs to call a taxi directly.

During rush hour, taking the bus is not a wise choice.

"Hello Mr. Qiao, the hall owner is already waiting for you inside, please come in with me. ”

As soon as Qiao Xiu came to the Eight Desolations Martial Arts Pavilion, he was greeted by a receptionist.

Obviously, Yang Zhen had already come to the martial arts hall first and said hello.

"Okay, I'm sorry for you. ”

Qiao Xiu said politely, and followed the other party inside.

"Mr. Joe is polite, this is what I should do. ”

Although the female receptionist didn't know Qiao Xiu's identity, the people who could be personally received by the owner of the hall were all distinguished guests, so she seemed very polite.

Qiao Xiu didn't say much about this, and the two of them quickly came to the inside of the Eight Desolation Martial Arts Pavilion.

Compared to yesterday, which was both a weekend and an afternoon, there were not many people practicing martial arts inside the martial arts hall at this time.

They had different reactions when they saw Qiao Xiu, who was led in by the hostess.

Some people didn't look at it and concentrated on practicing themselves, some people didn't pay attention to it after a little glance, and some people were quite curious, and their eyes followed Qiao Xiu until he entered Yang Zhen's private office.

"Qiao Xiu, you're here. ”

Seeing Qiao Xiu coming in, Yang Zhen, who was originally sitting, immediately stood up and greeted Qiao Xiu.

It could be seen that he was in a good mood at this time, and even a little excited.

Next to him was followed by his son Yang Ye, Yang Ye did not speak, but his eyes were also very friendly when he looked at Qiao Xiu.

"Well, Pavilion Master Yang is good, Mr. Yang is good. ”

Because he specifically checked Yang Zhen's relevant information last night, Yang Ye, as the executive president of Bafang Group, also had photos to find, so Qiao Xiu recognized him.

"Hello, Qiao Xiu. ”

Yang Zhen, who met Qiao Xiu for the first time, replied politely.

"Qiao Xiu, I am very happy that you have called and said that you have decided to worship me as a teacher. But before that, I want to ask you solemnly, have you really thought it through? It's too late to regret it now, once you enter the door wall of my Eight Desolation Gate, you can't easily exit. ”

Yang Zhen asked with a serious face.

"Well, think it through. As long as Pavilion Master Yang sincerely accepts me as an apprentice and teaches me martial arts, I will definitely study hard, and fulfill my responsibilities and obligations as an apprentice, and I will never regret it. ”

Since the Eight Desolation Martial Arts Pavilion is a martial arts hall of the Eight Classics, and Yang Zhen is also a powerful and reliable master, there is nothing to hesitate about.

Qiao Xiu has always believed in the life creed of others treating me with sincerity and treating me with sincerity.

If you are really good to me, then I will be really good to you.

"Well, it's just that neat. Go, come with me. ”

Looking at Qiao Xiu's reaction, Yang Zhen felt even more satisfied, and then after he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the position of the bookshelves in the office, and Yang Ye next to him followed closely behind him.

Although Qiao Xiu was a little confused, he still didn't ask anything and followed.

Click!

I saw Yang Zhen come to the bookshelf, press one hand on the frame of the bookshelf, and there was no force, and the bookshelf was connected to the back wall and automatically opened, revealing that there was a hole inside.

“......”

Seeing such a scene, Qiao Xiu was a little speechless.

Because this scene is too familiar, Qiao Xiu has seen similar operations more than ten times from TV movies and novels.

Could it be that inside is the Scripture Pavilion of the Eight Desolation Martial Arts, where there are some peerless treasures?

Qiao Xiu thought evilly in his heart.

Yang Zhen naturally didn't know what Qiao Xiu was thinking, he walked in directly after the bookshelf and wall were completely opened.

As he entered, the lights inside lit up instantly, revealing a staircase leading underground.

Qiao Xiu followed the two of them to a basement quickly.

The basement is large, but very simple and empty.

Except for an old figure painting hanging on one wall, there was nothing else.

"Okay, then I'm going to perform an apprenticeship ceremony for you. ”

The father and son took Qiao Xiu straight to the front of this character painting, and Yang Zhen turned his head to Qiao Xiu and said solemnly.

"Oh, so what do I need to do?"

Looking at the empty surroundings, Qiao Xiu was a little confused.

Generally speaking, shouldn't the apprentice first open the altar to worship the ancestor and master, and then kowtow to the master for tea, and there is a group of elder guests and future brothers and sisters next to the ceremony?

There's nothing here but a painting, how can you learn from a teacher?

"Don't worry, the initiation ceremony of our Eight Desolations Gate is very simple, you don't need to kneel to worship the sky, or even kneel to me, you just need to concentrate on contemplating the picture in front of you. ”

Yang Zhen's words were beyond Qiao Xiu's expectations.

"Huh, that's it?"

Qiao Xiu looked at Yang Zhen a little dumbfounded.

"That's right, that's it. ”

Yang Zhen gave him an affirmative answer again.

"Uh, okay, then I'll try. ”

Seeing that Yang Zhen didn't have the slightest joking expression, Qiao Xiu believed it, and then prepared to do it.

"Remember, be focused and give your full attention. ”

took the initiative to move aside to make room for Qiao Xiu to look at the character picture head-on, and Yang Zhen finally did not forget to remind him again.

Qiao Xiu nodded, stood in his position, and began to look at the figure in front of him.

At first glance, there is nothing unusual about this figure, it is an old mottled drawing paper, on which a background of the vast world is drawn, and then a tall man in an ancient black power suit stands in the center of the background.

He stood in a figure of eight, his hands clenched into fists and leaning straight on the two, and then a pair of sharp eyes looked ahead.

Qiao Xiu first glanced at the whole painting roughly, and didn't feel much.

It wasn't until he concentrated on the eyes of the man in the painting that he suddenly felt like he had disappeared into another world.

This world is vast and infinitely vast.

Suddenly, a tall man who was exactly the same as the man in the painting appeared in Qiao Xiu's sight.

I saw the man soaring into the sky while looking at the vast sky and the boundless earth below.

The man flew higher and higher until the end of the sky.

There was an invisible barrier there, and he was forced to stop, but the height was almost enough to see the world below.

Then the man seemed to come to his senses, and he suddenly threw a punch from below.

This punch fell from the sky, and in Qiao Xiu's field of vision, it turned into a behemoth that could fill the entire world.

In the end, the heavens and the earth collapsed, the man disappeared, and Qiao Xiu woke up in reality in a trance.

"What? What do you see?"

As soon as Qiao Xiu woke up, Yang Zhen next to him asked anxiously.

"Well, I saw a world and a man. ”

Hearing Yang Zhen's question, Qiao Xiu, who was still in a state of confusion, subconsciously replied.

"And then?"

Yang Zhen continued to ask.

"Then the man blew the world up with one punch. ”

Qiao Xiu remembered the picture he had just seen very clearly.

"Really, really a punch?

After listening to Qiao Xiu's words, Yang Zhen's emotions suddenly became excited, and his speech was a little unfavorable.

"That's right, all I saw was a punch from him, a punch that fell from the sky, and then the sky and the earth shattered, and then the people were gone. ”

Qiao Xiu thought for a moment and affirmed.

"Okay, great!Qiao Xiu, from now on you will be my Yang Zhen's closed disciple, hahaha!"

Yang Zhen, who had confirmed it repeatedly, suddenly burst out laughing, with irrepressible joy in his laughter.
