Chapter 198: Cutting off the Hair and Cleaning the Marrow
Upon hearing Wang Lidong's words, Zhao Ligong immediately showed a look of disappointment on his face.
"I am not yet twenty this year. Lanlan is ten years old this year, right?"
Zhao Ligong nodded and said:
"Lanlan is exactly ten years old this year."
"If I were forty or fifty years old and accepted Lan Lan as my apprentice, that would be no problem.
But the age is a bit inappropriate now.
I want the little girl to worship my mother as her teacher. Of course, if Lanlan wants to learn the martial arts I know, I will teach her all the money I have."
If what Zhao Ligong brought out was an ordinary secret book, Wang Lidong would at most have to pay some money to buy it.
But the value of the 'Yue Nu Sword' is difficult to estimate in terms of money.
He can't do anything like Bai Nu Piao either.
But if he was asked to accept a ten-year-old child as his apprentice, he would definitely not do it, mainly because he would find it annoying.
He knows how troublesome a half-grown child can be.
Moreover, my mother often nags about wanting a daughter, so this time I just took advantage of her.
As for whether Mrs. Wang would agree to it, he was still sure of it.
After listening to Wang Lidong's words, Zhao Ligong's worries turned into joy.
After debating for a long time, it turned out that my benefactor was worried about ruining his daughter's reputation.
The little girl was also stunned. Of course she understood the difference between apprentice and junior sister.
But what is the difference, she still can't figure it out now.
Seeing his daughter sitting dumbly, Zhao Ligong hurriedly shouted:
"Lanlan, come here quickly and meet your senior brother."
To him, there is no difference between apprentice and junior sister.
As long as my daughter can hug Wang Lidong's thick legs, that's all.
Lanlan hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth and straightened her clothes.
Then he bowed politely to Wang Lidong.
"Zhao Zhilan, meet senior brother."
"Okay, hello, junior sister."
After holding up the little girl, Wang Lidong suddenly remembered that it was time to give her a greeting gift.
He immediately thought of the good stuff he had just researched last night.
Then he stretched out his finger and pointed it at the little girl's head, just a little away.
The little girl suddenly felt a warm current pouring in from her forehead.
Then this warm current, along the meridians of the little girl's body, completed a great cycle in the body.
Zhao Ligong, who was standing aside, saw that his daughter was suddenly cast into a restraining spell, and then traces of black oil slowly oozed out from her face.
He immediately looked at Wang Lidong nervously.
Wang Lidong explained in a low voice:
"Sir, don't panic. This is a cleansing of the essence and marrow. The black oil is impurities in the girl's body. After being discharged, it will be good for her future martial arts training."
Although Zhao Ligong was a scholar, he had heard of cleansing and marrow removal.
Wang Lidong still warned:
"Sir, remember to keep this matter secret, otherwise you will be in trouble."
While Zhao Ligong nodded, he was deeply shocked.
He heard that there is a magical skill in Shaolin Temple called the "Marrow Cleansing Sutra", which has the effect of washing the essence and cutting down the marrow.
The person next to me can achieve the same effect with just a tap.
It's simply a magical method.
After a few minutes, the little girl moved her hands and feet slightly.
"Oh, it stinks, daddy, do you... stink again?"
┗( T﹏T )┛
"Lanlan, look at your hands."
When the little girl saw that her hands were covered with a layer of black stuff, she screamed in fright.
Wang Lidong didn't expect that there were so many impurities in the little girl's body. He remembered that after he washed the essence and cut the marrow, there was only a layer of water on her body.
"Ping'er,"
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and my mother, Mrs. Wang, appeared at the door.
She happened to be walking by here when she heard a girl's scream coming from her son's yard, and her heart skipped a beat.
My son will not be in...
So I asked my personal maid to guard the gate of the courtyard, and I immediately came in to take a look.
"Mom, you came at the right time. Help take Lanlan to take a bath."
"This is..."
At this time, the little girl's whole body was wrapped in a layer of black stuff, and Mrs. Wang was so shocked that she was a little embarrassed to speak.
Wang Lidong hurriedly explained the situation to his mother.
"Chopping off the hair and washing the marrow?"
"Mom, take the little girl to take a bath first. We'll talk about this later."
After Mrs. Wang took Lan Lan out, Zhao Ligong stood up and walked to the ground.
"Thank you very much, my benefactor. I will be sent to you in the future. Please feel free to ask my benefactor. I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
He still knew the value of this meeting gift, it was too valuable.
"Sir, you don't have to be like this, we will be a family from now on.
By the way, how is the situation in your village now?"
Zhao Ligong sighed:
"Most of the people in the village were killed or injured, and most of the rest were women and children. So you still want to trouble your benefactor?"
"Please say."
"My benefactor also has a general understanding of the current situation in our village.
So I want to invite some bodyguards to go back and take charge to protect the safety of the villagers."
It turned out that it was such a trivial matter, so Wang Lidong immediately asked Lin Jian to find the escort chief in charge of this matter.
In ancient times, the escort bureau was also called a escort agency, which was mainly engaged in the freight business, and was known as "walking escort" in the jargon of Jianghu.
To put it bluntly, in the current logistics industry, with three connections and one connection, etc., things are more expensive.
But it doesn’t just provide dart escorts. In addition to escort missions, there are mainly three other businesses.
"Sit in the shop": Gold shops and pawnshops are afraid of bandits coming to rob them, so they need to hire bodyguards to ensure the safety of such shops.
Guarding the courtyard: All year round, day and night, we are in this courtyard to ensure the safety of this courtyard.
Night vigil: Absent during the day, on duty at night, the duty is to catch thieves and protect the owner from danger.
From a narrow perspective, an escort agency is a specialized agency that provides security for some businesses and individuals.
Wang Lidong thought that this nursing home service was not cheap, and he didn't know where Zhao Ligong got so much money.
In fact, this is still thanks to his blessing.
Yesterday, when I was cleaning up the corpses of Japanese pirates, I found a lot of fine gold and silver. Adding in bits and pieces, it was almost three hundred taels of silver.
In addition, there are still three ships on hand, so Zhao Ligong's village is not short of money for the time being.

Huashan School
"Chong'er, Dayou, how many of the seven precepts of Huashan have you violated when you went down the mountain this time?"
Linghu Chong glanced at Lu Dayou, noticing the surprise between them, and thought that the other party must not have missed the mark.
Seeing the two people's little actions, Yue Buqun snorted and his face became even more serious.
"Do you still need me to remind you?"
The two of them knelt down in front of the eucalyptus and said in unison:
"I am aware of my sin. I did not listen to the teachings of my master and my wife. I violated the sixth commandment of being arrogant and offending my colleagues."
Yue Lingshan said from the side: "Dad, how can you blame senior brother for this? I heard senior brother said that it was the Qingcheng sect that insulted me, Huashan..."
Yue Buqun glanced at his daughter and said sternly: "Now we are discussing the precepts of our sect. You are a disciple of Huashan, so you don't have to interrupt randomly."
Yue Lingshan had rarely seen her father speak so harshly to her, and she felt so wronged that her eyes turned red and she was about to cry.
In normal times, even if Yue Buqun ignored her, Mrs. Yue would still comfort her with gentle words. But at this time, as Yue Buqun was the head of the family, she was responsible for observing the family's rules, so Mrs. Yue was not in a position to pay attention to her daughter. She could only pretend that she didn't see her.
