Chapter 21 Receiving Disciples
"Knock, knock, knock,......" There was a knock at the door, followed by Qiulan's crisp voice: "Sir, the little maid has prepared lunch." Please have a meal. ”
"Okay, got it. You go down first, and I will come down at once. Li Zhaoyuan replied.
He looked out the window and before he knew it, it was noon. He tidied up his appearance, opened the door, and found that the two little maids were still at the door. One holds a basin of water in his hand and the other toiletries.
The two saw Li Zhaoyuan and said in unison: "Little maid, the water has been prepared, please gentlemen freshen up." After that, the two of them showed their innocence, a pair of big eyes sparkled, and if they were placed on Earth, they would be a pair of otaku killers.
"You ......" Originally, Li Zhaoyuan wanted to say that you should go down, but when he saw the charming big eyes of the two little girls, he could only change his words and said, "Come in." "Originally, he was a monk, and he could do well with spells, how could he be so troublesome. But people work so hard to help, how embarrassed to say no.
Hearing Li Zhaoyuan call them in, the two girls showed a triumphant smile.
Qiulan took the comb and wanted to comb Li Zhaoyuan's hair, Li Zhaoyuan touched his hair, took the comb and said with a smile: "I don't have any hair, let's do it myself." "I combed it a few times.
Dongmei dipped the towel in water, wrung it out, and was about to help Li Zhaoyuan wipe his face. Li Zhaoyuan took the towel and said, "I'll wash it myself, it's more comfortable and easier to clean." ”
He wiped it casually, handed the towel to Dongmei, and said, "Okay, let's go down to eat." ”
After all, he didn't wait for them to go downstairs directly, for fear that there would be other requirements, so it would be better to slip away first.
Seeing Li Zhaoyuan running away in a gloomy manner, Qiulan and Dongmei glanced at each other and laughed out loud. It turns out that Mr. is afraid of women, and we are not tigers.
Don't move your feelings at anything - this is Li Zhaoyuan's current principle of life. He is not a master of beauty hunting, emotion is his shortcoming, and he is afraid of emotional debt. He can't be provoked, so he can only hide away.
When I went downstairs, I saw a large table full of various dishes, at least thirteen or fourteen dishes.
"I roast and feed the pigs, I don't eat so much if I can. Li Zhaoyuan secretly smiled bitterly.
If it is an immortal spirit fruit, it is rich in spiritual power and has no impurities, so he can naturally eat it. But these are ordinary dishes for mortals, and it's okay to eat them casually, but if the monks eat them every day, it won't be good for cultivation.
Li Zhaoyuan asked Qiulan and Dongmei behind him: "Is there anyone else eating together?"
The two little girls replied, "No, this is for Mr. ”
"Oh, it's just me. It's so hearty, I can't finish it. Eat with me. Li Zhaoyuan invited.
"We've already had lunch, please sir. "Two people.
Li Zhaoyuan only needs to eat alone, and some dishes are too far away. The two little girls were still holding chopsticks to help Li Zhaoyuan pick up vegetables. Li Zhaoyuan really became a rich man.
Just after lunch, the three brothers of the Iron Family visited together. After the three of them asked the maid to go out, they chatted with Li Zhaoyuan.
"Sir, are you still used to living comfortably in the small courtyard arranged below?" Tie Long asked with a smile.
"Habitual, comfortable, secluded and tasteful. Thank you, Brother Tielong. Li Zhaoyuan said politely.
"Haha, you're welcome, sir. Is that gentleman satisfied with the diet?" Iron Dragon asked again.
"Hehe, yes, your house has such a skilled chef, and the food is delicious. The only thing that is not enough ......" Li Zhaoyuan paused, Tie Long thought that he was dissatisfied, and his face changed slightly. Li Zhaoyuan continued: "The only deficiency is that I have done too much, and it is a pity that I can't finish it." ”
Tie Long breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Haha, as long as Mr. is satisfied." Our brother was at ease. ”
Then they chatted for a while, and Li Zhaoyuan thought to himself, "You won't just come to talk to me." I guess there's something to ask me for. Hehe, if you don't say it, then I won't say it, see what the hell you guys are doing. ”
Finally, Tiehu, who had a black face and beard, took the lead in losing his breath, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "Please take our brother as an apprentice." After that, he knelt on the ground again, and begged again: "Please Sir take our three brothers as apprentices, we are willing to serve Mr. for the rest of our lives, and we have no regrets in this life." ”
Tie Long and Tie Leopard also knelt on the ground and clenched their fists and bowed, saying, "Please take our three brothers as apprentices, we are willing to follow Mr. around, and I dare not disobey." ”
"The three of us brothers know that our qualifications are blunt, the spiritual roots are not pure, and it is difficult to achieve success in cultivating immortals, but we also have the heart to cultivate immortals and attain the Tao, and we dare to ask Mr. to fulfill it. Tielong pleaded affectionately.
Although Li Zhaoyuan was mentally prepared, thinking that they had something to ask him to help, he didn't expect it to be such an apprenticeship. He has been in compulsory education since he was a child, and he can study in high school and college if he has money, and he has studied with some teacher. When I was on Earth, many pheasant universities still begged people to study, so why not use apprenticeship. What's going on?
This incident was so sudden that Li Zhaoyuan didn't react for a while, and was petrified on the spot. He thought to himself, "I still want to find a master, find a sect." I don't have a place now, how can I have any ability to accept apprentices, and I come three at a time, it's really terrible. But seeing them is not like hot-headed and whim-studded. ”
After a moment of panic, Li Zhaoyuan hurriedly went to help them and said, "Hurry up, the three elder brothers are really tormenting the younger brothers." How can I become the master of my three elder brothers? ”
The three heroes of the Iron Clan just ignored it, still knelt on the ground, and resolutely asked the heart of cultivating immortals, and said firmly: "I hope that Mr. will take us as apprentices for the sake of the three of our brothers." "It's going to kowtow again. It seems that they have obviously discussed and prepared together for a long time before coming, a feeling that they have been premeditated for a long time.
Li Zhaoyuan hurriedly stopped and said, "Slow, you kowtow slowly." I'll ask you first. Do you know that the qualifications required for cultivating immortals, the spiritual root, and the wisdom root are all indispensable. You must also have the heart to ask the immortal cultivator to never regret it, no matter how difficult it is, he will not regret it until death. Otherwise, everything will be in vain, and even if I accept you, it will only be a waste of time. When the time comes, it will be bad for you and me. ”
"The disciple understands. The three of us knew that our qualifications were insufficient, but we had never given up our determination to cultivate immortals. We don't seek to become immortals, we only want to get the guidance of immortals, to be able to go further on the martial arts, and to achieve higher achievements. The three of them said in unison.
The three brothers saw clearly, knew their own shortcomings, and retreated to the next best. Li Zhaoyuan said secretly in his heart. "Since they are not here to become immortals, it is not bad for me to pass on my Chinese mastery Taijiquan to them. If they can carry forward Taijiquan in this Xuanwu world, it will be a good thing. ”
"Hehe, then I'm not the ancestor of Taijiquan in this Xuanwu world. Thinking of this, Li Zhaoyuan felt a burst of pride in his heart. He didn't want to think that if he developed any small invention on earth, he would be the originator in the mortal world. "But you can't just accept apprentices so easily, you have to think about what is the best way. By the way, I'll make some rules to make it difficult for them to see if they are sincere apprentices. ”
"Since you know yourself very well, let me ask you again. Li Zhaoyuan put on the posture of a generation of grandmasters, as if he was the most holy master, and said: "If you want to enter my sect, you must abide by the rules of this sect, if you violate it, you will be driven out of the sect, and you will take your life." I wonder if you can do it?"
"Yes, as long as it is the master's rules, we should abide by them and never violate them. The three heroes of the Iron Clan responded in unison.
"You agree slowly, listen to me first and make the rules clear, and then it's not too late to agree. Li Zhaoyuan said: "The rules of this door are six to six must not, one must respect the teacher, the second must be filial to the parents, the third must be peaceful and neighborly, the fourth must be the teacher and brothers help each other, the fifth must be chivalrous and righteous, and the sixth must be charitable and charitable; Can you do that?"
Li Zhaoyuan based on the martial arts novels he watched, some rules of martial arts decency in martial arts TV movies, and then summarized the "six musts and six musts"
After listening, the three heroes of the Iron Clan replied directly without hesitation: "I will definitely be able to do it!"
"Okay, since you have thought it through, then I will accept you as a registered disciple first. Later, we will see if your performance can follow the rules of your own sect, and then we will make another decision. Li Zhaoyuan looked serious.
"The master is on top, and he is worshiped by his disciples. With that, the three of them knocked their heads together three times.
"All right, get up, all of you. In the future, you should call me sir outside. There is not much difference between Master and Mr. Li Zhaoyuan originally wanted to talk about the eldest brother, the second brother and the like, but thinking that his identity was different now, he immediately changed his words, and said in the tone of a division commander: "Iron Dragon, Iron Tiger, Iron Leopard, since you have joined this sect today, then I will tell you about the origin of this sect." ”
In this way, Li Zhaoyuan inexplicably accepted three apprentices who were older than him. Thus creating the beginning of the history of Tai Chi in the Xuanwu world.
After some thought, Li Zhaoyuan said that there are many schools and branches of Taijiquan, Wudang Taiji, Chen's Taiji, Yang's Taiji, Wu's Taiji, Wu's Taiji, and so on. He felt that it was not too good to call a certain faction and a certain branch, and finally felt that it would be better to simply call it "Taijimen". So "Taijimen" appeared in the Xuanwu world.
Then Li Zhaoyuan told the story of the legend - Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng practiced Neijiaquan in Wudang Mountain, Shenzhou, created Taijiquan, created the Wudang School, and finally ascended to the story of the immortal path.
Li Zhaoyuan learned from Shan Tianfang's posture and quoted a fragment of Master Jin Yong's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", which was lively, interesting and exciting.
Hearing the three brothers of the Tie family, they suddenly felt that their decision today was wise. When they heard that Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng had ascended to immortality, they were even more yearning. I can't wait to fly up and join Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng.
But how did they know that the place where Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng ascended was not the same as the place where they ascended. Where can I see it. But that doesn't stop them from admiring.
