The next day, as soon as the sky was shining, Yan Dingxian and the three of them got up and went out.

Mu Xun also got up early and went out to see him off, but the parting words had been said last night, and at this moment he waved goodbye, and then watched the three of them leave on horseback until they disappeared.

After sending the three of them away, Mu Xun turned around and returned to the courtyard, and just after going down the stone steps, he saw Zhang Hezheng trotting towards him, so he asked loudly: "Uncle Zhang, but there is something urgent to find me?"

Zhang He nodded and said, "The head of the family is waiting in the building, let you go over quickly." ”

Mu Xun didn't dare to slack off, so he pulled his legs and ran to the "Ten Thousand Book Tower". When he came to the door of the building, he was about to push the door in, but he suddenly hesitated, then stood still, and shouted loudly: "Uncle, I'm here!"

After waiting for a while, he heard Lin Zongyan's voice coming down from a high place, saying, "You come to the top floor!"

Mu Xun took a step forward and stretched out his hand to push the door, but he heard Lin Zongbian say, "Come up from outside the building!"

Mu Xun suddenly frowned, and said secretly: "Uncle, what do you mean? Could it be that I want to test my light skills and internal strength?" Although he was suspicious in his heart, he didn't dare to slack off, and he moved backwards until he retreated outside the eaves, looked up, and secretly measured it in his heart, and meditated: "The top of this tower is only nine zhang high from here, and with my current kung fu, it is not too difficult to go up." ”

I had confidence in my heart, immediately lifted my breath, slightly separated my legs before and after, jumped up after a light click, and when I got to the second floor, my left foot stretched out a little tile, borrowed the strength and then went up, so back and forth several times, and finally reached the top floor, and then reached out and grabbed the railing outside the terrace, and one sideways stepped over the guardrail, and fell steadily to the ground, and happened to stand at the door of the building.

At this time, the door of the building was wide open, Lin Zongbian was standing in the door with his hands in his hands, and when he saw Mu Xun panting and standing at the door, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "As the saying goes: a loving mother has many defeated children." But today, a loving father is not exempt!"

Mu Xun's face turned red, and he hurriedly shook his head and said: "Uncle doesn't know anything, it's not that my father didn't give it, it's really because I don't have to do it." ”

Lin Zongyan snorted coldly, then straightened his body and shouted, "You kneel down and kowtow!"

Mu Xun was stunned by this shout, and his legs softened unconsciously, and he knelt on the ground with a "plop", but his body did not bend, and his head did not knock down.

Lin Zongyan saw that his face was full of doubts, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter, I will accept you as an apprentice, but you don't want to?"

Mu Xun came back to his senses at this time, but he was even more shocked in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "But... But you're my uncle!"

Lin Zongbian asked: "Who has stipulated that uncle can't accept his nephew as an apprentice?"

When Mu Xun heard this, he suddenly panicked, and he was at a loss for a while, looking at Lin Zongbian blankly, speechless for a long time. In his opinion, Uncle Lin's move was too abrupt, neither giving him time to react, nor giving him room to choose, at this time, he thought about it for a while, and only felt that if he really wanted to make a choice, then he was more inclined not to be a master and apprentice, after all, his uncle was a relative and was more emotionally close, while the master would have an extra layer of teaching relationship, which would inevitably be a little worse emotionally.

Lin Zongyan said again: "Your father has endowed him with a proud ability, but he has failed to teach you well, this is his dereliction of responsibility; since he can't do it well, then I, the uncle, have to do it for me!

Mu Xun was stopped by his last sentence "Kowtow quickly", his heart was confused for a while, and his waist and abdomen immediately weakened, and he kowtowed to the ground fiercely.

Lin Zongbian saw that he just kowtowed, and said, "What about the other two?"

Mu Xun hurriedly straightened up, kowtowed twice, and finally knelt on the ground, still a little unable to ease up, and only thought in his heart: "What's wrong with me? Uncle became a master like this?"

Lin Zongyan said coldly: "Boy, do you know that there are thousands of people in this world who want to worship me as a teacher, but you have taken a big advantage and don't know it, don't stand up quickly!"

Mu Xun slowly stood up, and suddenly sobered up a lot, and then remembered to ask, "Uncle... Father, why do you want to take me as an apprentice?"

Lin Zongbian's eyes narrowed, and he said strangely: "What's the matter, you don't want to be famous all over the world?"

Mu Xun was stunned again, because of the teachings he received since he was a child, he has always only wanted to live in peace, but he has never had the idea of being famous all over the world, and he heard Lin Zongbian mention it at this moment, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Lin Zongyan shouted again: "The eldest husband is in the world, if you don't want to make meritorious contributions and become famous for all generations, it is really in vain for the sake of a man!

Although Mu Xun was reprimanded at this time, he didn't care. He saw that the thin Uncle Lin in front of him had swept away yesterday's decadence, and the whole person burst out of the world's pride from the inside out, and he was also infected in an instant, and his heart was also excited, so he nodded heavily and said, "Uncle is very right!"

Lin Zongbian's face showed a slight look of relief, but he disappeared in an instant, and said: "Don't worry, our master and apprentice are like father and son, I will definitely give you all my life's skills, and I will definitely make you famous in the world!"

Mu Xun was so excited by Lin Zongbian's heroic and rugged spirit at this time that his whole body became hot, and the excitement in his heart gradually turned into an urgent desire, and at the same time, he was also thinking: "Yes! If I had outstanding martial arts in the past, why couldn't I save the lives of Xu Che and Grandpa Luo, and how could I not protect Li Xiyan and Luo Yao's sister? Hmph! It seems that there was no better life in the past, I must be a strong man! Even if I can't make a name for myself, at least I must have the ability to protect the people around me!"

He made up his mind in his heart, straightened his body at the moment, and shouted respectfully: "Master is above, and I will be worshiped by the apprentice again!"

Lin Zongbian also accepted it calmly, and said lightly at the end: "You worship me again this time, so you don't seem to be forced to do it." ”

After the ceremony, Mu Xun got up again, and asked again: "Then will I always call you Master in the future?"

Lin Zongyan said: "It's okay to call it whatever you want at home, but don't reveal this master-apprentice relationship in front of outsiders, as long as you and I know." ”

Mu Xun was puzzled and said curiously: "Why is this?"

Lin Zongbian said impatiently: "Where did you come from so much, why do you just do it." ”

Mu Xun stuck out his tongue and sneered: "Then I'll always call you uncle." But he said in his heart: "It's still the uncle who is kind, and the master or something, it's always a little worse." ”

Lin Zongbian was noncommittal, turned around and walked inside, and said, "You come in." ”
