"The small kitchen is simmering some soup, and I'll bring it to you when it's ready."
"Well, is there nothing going on at home?"
"It's okay, it's just that more people came to give gifts early in the morning."
Gao Bin nodded:
"Those who give gifts should remember to pay them back later when they have the opportunity. We cannot owe others anything."
"Don't worry, young master, I've made all the arrangements and found a special room to put the gifts."
Gao Bin thought for a moment:
"Xiao Cui, help me up."
"Master, you'd better lie down and I'll bring you whatever Xiaocui you want."
"I'm going to the latrine, why don't you go up for me?" Gao Bin rolled his eyes at the little girl, who was so embarrassed that her head almost hit the ground.
However, Gao Bin did have a problem with his bones. He had to walk slowly, especially on his right leg. The whipping leg felt good for a while, but it lasted for two months.
After limping to the toilet, Gao Bin didn't want to go back to the room and lie down, so he asked Xiaocui to help him to the room where the gifts were placed. Good guy, it was full of people and occupied a room.
"What are they?" Gao Bin asked.
"Most of them are for food. I took out all these. The rest of the jewelry is all here. This is the list."
Wang Qiming is indeed a person who has worked as a servant in a wealthy family. He only does things in an orderly manner, not only making a detailed general order, but also making different types of orders by category.
Not to mention anything else, there are hundreds of various kinds of jade, pearls, rhinoceros horns, and deer antlers, all of high quality, and many of them are old items.
There are also telescopes inlaid with various agate gemstones, pure gold rice bowls, etc. If you come here with no hope, you will be fascinated.
Gao Bin glanced at it and said hesitantly:
"Are these items safe to have in your home?"
Wang Qiming bowed and said:
"I was just about to mention this to you. I don't have a caretaker at home, so I'm really unsure."
Indeed, these are troubled times, and troubled times are a world where anything can happen. Gao Bin's own force is enough, but he can't be at home all the time.
However, he was not prepared to look for those miscellaneous guardians. In the third battle, he had completely established his reputation, and it was time to open the door to accept disciples.
"Except for those who give gifts, there are no people who come to seek apprenticeships?" Gao Bin asked again.
"Of course there are, there are quite a few, but since you didn't say anything, I didn't dare to agree, so I asked them to go back and come back another day."
"Well, let's do this. Just let me know that I intend to open a martial arts gym. Anyone who wants to learn martial arts can come and try, and I will admit the best."
Wang Qiming asked:
"Is there a quota limit?"
"I plan to divide the martial arts hall into an inner sect and an outer sect. The inner sect cannot have many disciples, and the outer sect can have no restrictions, but the character must be decent."
Wang Qiming nodded:
"Understood, I will arrange to write down the regulations so that everyone can sign up first, and then find a time for unified interview and admission."
"This is best."
It was the first time for Gao Bin to accept a disciple, and he had little experience.
However, in this era when the world is not yet completely lonely, recruiting disciples is nothing new.
Especially in this ancient land, traditional industries, no matter what field they are in, there are schools that teach knowledge, pear gardens that teach skills, workshops, martial arts halls, etc. It can be said that all kinds of skills are mostly based on the method of master and apprentice leading apprentices.
It’s been passed down all the way.
The so-called apprenticeship to learn skills from a teacher is the prerequisite for learning skills.
This kind of master-disciple relationship is integrated into the traditional family ethics, which emphasizes "a teacher for a day, a father for a lifetime." The master has absolute authority over his disciples.
Of course, due to differences in the time of apprenticeship, the time spent with the master, and even the relationship between the master and the master, there are still differences between disciples even though they have apprenticed themselves to the master.
Generally speaking, there are three types of disciples: entry-level disciples, ascending disciples, and room-level disciples.
Even after becoming a master, you can be called a disciple even if you enter the door. This kind of disciple is called an entry-level disciple.
Take Confucius as an example. He had so many disciples that there were three thousand in history. Most of these three thousand disciples were entry-level disciples.
Normally, I just come to listen to the lectures during class and leave after class. I don’t have much contact in private, let alone one-on-one private teaching.
In addition, entry-level disciple is also a title given to students who are new to the apprenticeship, meaning they are new to the apprenticeship and are not good at their studies.
Next, there are the disciples who entered the hall. Taking Confucius as the list, seventy-two sages can be classified as disciples.
The courtyards where skills were taught in ancient times were generally relatively large. After entering the door, you had to walk through a long courtyard before entering the hall.
The so-called admission means that I have been studying under a master for some time. I have been with the master for a long time. During this period, I have received the guidance of the teacher. I have made rapid progress and have achieved some achievements in my academic skills.
Finally, there are the disciples who enter the house.
The disciples who enter the house are the ones that the master focuses on training, and they will inherit the dharma lineage from now on.
Taking Confucius as an example, even the outspoken Zilu was criticized by Confucius for "rising into the hall without entering the room." This shows that it is not easy to enter the room. Although there are many disciples, only a few can get into the room in the end.
Once you become a disciple, the master must "teach by word of mouth" some real things.
The so-called heart-to-heart communication lies in the interdependence of heart and mind, and the important thing is sincerity and correct mind, seeing the heart and nature, which depends on oneself.
What is taught by dictation is skills and knowledge. The important thing is that the teacher is good at guiding and the disciples are eager to learn. This depends more on the teacher than on oneself.
Of course, in different industries, there are more detailed distinctions.
For example, in a theater troupe, "disciple" refers to an apprentice who has gone through the apprenticeship ceremony.
This type of apprentice can call the person who teaches the art "master" or "sir", such as Wang Yinqiu, Zhao Rongchen, etc. in the Cheng sect.
Those who have studied opera but have not had a teacher can only call the person who transmits the art a teacher, such as Hou Yulan.
This is strictly defined in the troupe and cannot be called randomly. For example, Li Shiji cannot call Cheng Yanqiu his master, but can only call him "teacher" or "godfather".
There are several explanations for "disciple who entered the house":
You eat and live in your father's house, and all expenses are borne by the master. The master treats his disciples as his own family and teaches some private skills to his disciples, such as Wang Yinqiu.
Apprentices who have received this kind of private teaching are also called "hand-in-hand apprentices". Such apprentices must listen to the master's instructions when learning and acting, and must not act randomly.
It was because Li Shaochun crossed this limit that Yu Shuyan stopped teaching.
You can even treat her as a son or daughter, and beating and scolding is normal.
This kind of person can also be called a disciple, no different from your own child.
Half a month later, the 'Gaowumen' was officially opened. Hundreds of young people dressed in different styles who were preparing to become apprentices gathered in the front yard, and it was packed.
They didn't think there were many people, but thought it was a good thing. The more people who came to be his master, the higher the prestige of Gao Bin. Who wouldn't want to choose a highly respected person as his master?
In the backyard, Gao Bin sat on the Taishi chair. There was a large open space in front of him. One after another young people came forward to show themselves. Gao Bin asked a few questions casually. If he passed, he would be admitted. On the contrary, Gao Bin asked Wang Qiming to give him a few cents in banknotes as a courtesy.
You go home.
Of course, there are many older people among them who are art investment experts. Gao Bin did not refuse these people, but their abilities are really not that interesting, and they have already been established, so they are not suitable to stay under his disciple.
In the end, he had 47 people, including Xu Tian, exactly 48.
He will teach these 48 people for a period of time, select good young people to enter the inner sect, and personally teach the two major martial arts of Wing Chun and Xing Yi.
The outer disciples will not learn these two sets of boxing techniques, but will learn the modern fighting skills that Gao Bin demonstrated in the three duels.
Gao Bin combined Chuanwu routines with modern fighting concepts and compiled a new set of boxing methods that are more suitable for practical purposes, named 'Gao Ti Boxing'.
Gaotiquan is similar to the Juntiquan of later generations, but its main emphasis is on practicality.
It's not pretty when fought, but it's very lethal in every move.
This is also a boxing technique created to make disciples as soon as possible. The current Gaowu Sect is solely supported by his momentum. This is absolutely not possible. If you want to develop, you must have something that you can use.
Of course, moves are one thing, and physical fitness is the foundation. No matter whether you are inside or outside, you have to run around the inner city every morning and then come back to do horse walking.
After breakfast, everyone started to do plank support. This novel way of exercising made all the disciples miserable at first.
But over time, they found that their physical fitness was getting better little by little, especially their core strength and endurance, which had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to when they first joined.
As for absolute strength and speed, Gao Bin did not train them specifically, because these two things require talent. If you don't have talent, it will take a lot of time to develop, so don't rush it.
In the morning, there is basic physical training. After lunch, you will practice high-body boxing in the afternoon, as well as compete with each other.
There is no point in practicing tricks. The best way to gain experience is to fight.
For a while, Gao Bin couldn't conjure enemies, so he could only let them compete with each other.
He also made it clear that during the sparring process, apart from the fact that no dead blows were allowed, the rest was left to freedom. If someone was beaten to a bruised and swollen face, it would only be considered that you were not good at learning, so don't come to me to report it.
...
Half a year passed in a flash, and the depth of winter had arrived. There had just been a light snowfall, and the ground was slippery. However, the men of Gaowumen still walked around the inner city three times bare-chested.
The people in the city are used to it. Ever since Gao Bin established his reputation and opened the door to accept disciples, the golden sign of Gaowu Sect has been erected.
They watched helplessly as their disciples couldn't hold on for one lap from the beginning, but now they can still do 200 push-ups on the spot after three laps.
In fact, a circle around the inner city is not that far, only about ten kilometers, which is almost equal to the running distance of a player in later football matches. Of course, it is the top one, forget about the big guys of the national football team.
Gao Bin's group of disciples really did their best. None of the 48 people, including Xu Tian, backed down midway. They all gritted their teeth and persevered.
Now these 48 people are dragged out to fight in a group. I dare not say if there are too many, it will not be a big problem if the group kills 120 or 30 people.
However, so far, Gao Bin has not decided on the candidates for the inner disciples, because although the quality of these people is not bad, they are not at the top level, which makes Gao Bin very entangled.
It’s my first time to recruit a disciple. Wouldn’t it be a waste if I didn’t teach three or two great masters?
Fortunately, he has plenty of time, and he is not in a hurry. He will wait slowly. If there is fate, he will definitely come.
On this day, Gao Bin was supervising his disciples' boxing practice when Jin Hai came over.
"Binzi, are you busy?"
"I'm not busy. What's wrong with Brother Hai? Let's talk inside."
Let Wang Qiming serve a pot of tea and four plates of snacks, and sit down with Jin Hai in the room.
"Binzi, now that the situation is getting clearer, I'm thinking about going south with Tielin, Xu Tian and the others to avoid the limelight. Do you want to come with us?"
Gao Bin frowned:
"Brother Hai, are you trying to run away?"
"That's right. After all, I've done a lot of shameful things for the General Suppressor over the years. If I turn around and sort things out."
Gao Bin understood what he meant, and he also knew in his heart that since Jin Hai began to plan an escape route, it meant that the main plot line was about to begin.
"I won't leave. I was born and raised here, and I'm not used to going outside."
Jin Hai nodded:
"You have a clean foundation. You don't have to worry about being liquidated. Even if you don't leave, you can still help me take care of the family business."
Gao Bin hesitated for a moment and advised:
"Brother Hai, actually walking is not the only way."
Jin Hai understood what he meant:
"There are things you don't know."
"Okay, how can I help you?"
"The family fortune your brother and I have accumulated over the past half of our lives must be converted into money one after another, so that we can use it when we go south."
"Brother Hai wants to exchange money with me?"
"Is it convenient?"
"If there's any inconvenience, I'll ask Lao Wang to go to your place to calculate it later. I'll take it as much as you want."
"Okay, thank you, brother."
"Why are you so polite? Remember to give me a discount when the time comes."
"No problem, you name the number and I will never counter-offer."
Gao Bin smiled, he would definitely not take advantage of Jin Hai.
...
Another week passed, while Gao Bin was receiving massage from Xiao Cui and Xiao Hong in the room, a disciple hurriedly broke in.
"Master, something happened."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Gao Bin opened his eyes:
"Calm down, the sky won't fall, let's talk about it!"
The disciple swallowed:
"It's Brother Tian. I don't know how he got into trouble with the God of War. There is also his second brother Tielin. God of God has spread throughout Forty-Nine City to kill Brother Tian."
With a bang, Gao Bin slapped his palm on the table.
He was not angry because of God's words, but because Xu Tian, this reckless boy, would feel uncomfortable if he didn't cause trouble for a day!
Seeing the master getting angry, the disciple trembled with fright:
"Master, what should we do?"
"Where's Xu Tian? Call him here, and then send someone to the prison to call Brother Hai."
"Hey! I'm going right away!"
To teach Xu Tian a lesson, Jin Hai had to come in person, otherwise Gao Bin would be afraid that he would be unable to hold him back and chop him alive.
As a result, the people sent to look for Xu Tian never came back for a day, which is something wrong.
When it was dark, Gao Bin and Jin Hai were drinking wine in the room, neither of them looked very good.
"This Xu Tian, how old he is, he is still so impulsive every day." Gao Bin muttered.
"Brother, please forgive me, my third brother is upright and has no other bad habits." Jin Hai was still willing to tolerate Xu Tian.
"Brother Hai, I don't mean that. Although I didn't officially accept him, he still studied with me, so I am also responsible for anything that happens."
At this time, Da Yingzi opened the thick quilt and came in with a hot water bottle to add water.
Now Da Yingzi is helping Gao Bin, cooking big pots of food for his disciples, otherwise the family will be too busy.
"Is anyone here?" Jin Hai asked.
"Who?" Dayingzi didn't understand.
"It's okay, just go about your business."
This little sister has been acting stupid all day long and doesn’t like to use her brain at all.
Da Yingzi turned around to leave. As soon as he opened the curtain, he bumped into Xu Tian:
"Eh? Xu Tian is back."
"Hey, where are big brother and the others?"
"Inside the house, you don't want to let them worry too much,"
Xu Tian lifted his felt hat and stepped through the door:
"Brother, Brother Bin."
"You still know how to come back?" Jin Hai said with a tigerish face.
"Why didn't I know to come back? I came back right after I finished my work." Xu Tian picked up the chopsticks, grabbed a pancake in his hand, and ate the pickled vegetables.
"Where have you been?" Jin Hai asked.
"I went out for a walk with Xiaoduo."
"You still want to go out for a walk? I wonder if the gods are looking for you all over the world?" Jin Hai was so angry just to show Gao Bin.
"Shen Shen? He's looking for me? I still want to look for him." Xu Tian frowned.
"Why did you confront him?" Gao Bin asked.
"Hey, this kid committed murder and arson. He also sells tobacco cream and resells arms on my property. If I don't cure him, who will?"
Gao Bin frowned and said nothing more.
There is nothing wrong with it from a broad perspective, but the way it handles the problem is too stupid.
"Let's settle the matter. Let's get ready to leave. Don't cause trouble." Jin Hai said.
"I was just about to tell you about this, brother, I'm not leaving."
"You're not leaving? Or Xiaoduo isn't leaving." Jin Hai knew his brother too well.
"Xiaoduo doesn't want to leave, so I won't leave either."
"Xiaoduo is Xiaoduo, and you are you. We are not married yet, so there is no need to tie them together."
"She is my wife, so naturally I am where she is, and besides, my father is still here."
"What kind of daughter-in-law? You haven't passed the door yet. Even if you pass the door, you can still separate yourself. Wouldn't Da Yingzi be kicked by Tielin?"
"That's different. Anyway, I won't marry anyone other than Jia Xiaoduo."
"Are you sick, a country girl?"
"Brother, please leave it alone. I just want to inform you that by the way, you asked me to find out about the gold bars. There is a man named Mr. Liu who can handle it."
Jin Hai glanced at him:
"Which Master Liu? Is it reliable?"
"I haven't met him before, but he is still reliable. His family has a good background. Although the commission is high, he does things steadily."
"I haven't seen you before and you can't believe it?"
Jin Hai feels tired.
"I asked people to inquire, and they all said so."
Jin Hai exchanged 20 gold bars from Gao Bin, but it was not easy to take them away, so he had to rely on someone to do it.
Obviously, just like the plot, Xu Tian is going to hand over the gold bars to Mr. Liu, whom he has never met before.
"Just be angry with me. And let me tell you, break up with Jia Xiaoduo immediately. It's her business if she doesn't leave. You must go with us."
"Why?"
"Because we are so good together, I am your big brother!"
Xu Tian stopped talking this time, because Jin Hai showed his eldest brother's majesty, and Xu Tian had to listen.
Suddenly, Wang Qiming knocked on the door and came in:
"Master, someone is coming from outside."
"Who?"
"Self-proclaimed God of Cover."
"Have you brought anyone with you?"
"I brought a dozen or so."
"Where are our people?"
"I confronted the man who was guarding the god, but I didn't take action."
"Well, we'll talk about it later."
Wang Qiming didn't say a word and turned around to give the order.
In less than half a minute, there was chaos outside.
