Lao Miao Zhu looked at the top of his head with surprise and said:
"Strange, how did you survive?"
After saying that, he immediately changed his words:
"You come in with me first."
Ye Chen was overjoyed and immediately followed the old man. Xiao Miao Zhu glanced at him and lowered his head to continue drawing the talisman.
After entering the backyard from the main hall dedicated to the land lord, the old man took off the small beetle from his back. Ye Chen immediately stepped forward to catch the small beetle. It was a bit heavy for the current body, so he lifted it up and put it aside.
The old man patted his clothes and sat on a stone bench. He looked at him several times and asked:
"Did you encounter a ghost last night?"
Ye Chen immediately nodded and said:
"While eating last night, I suddenly felt very cold in the house, and then I felt as if there was an icicle stuck into my brain. My whole body was frozen and I couldn't move."
"Well!"
Lao Miaozhu stretched out his hand to stroke his white beard and said:
"That's the Yin ghost. You should have been targeted because of your serious illness and your weakened body. But what makes me wonder is, how did you escape from the Yin ghost?"
Ye Chen had already thought about how to answer before he came, and that was to tell the truth:
"I don't know what happened. I fainted after the icicle was inserted into my brain. Then I heard a strange sound in my confusion, and then the ghost disappeared."
Lao Miao Zhu held his white beard in his hand and said nothing. He seemed to be thinking whether he was panicking. After a while, he waved to him and said:
"Come here, kid, let me check you out."
Ye Chen obediently came forward and sat down. The old man stretched out his hand and put it on the top of his head. He soon felt a warm current blowing down on his head. It was very comfortable. The remaining coldness that was touched by the ghost was swept away by the warm current.
"strangeness?"
After a long time, the old man retracted his hand, looked at Ye Chen with surprise in his eyes and said:
"There seems to be a strange power in your soul. It is very powerful, but your soul is very weak."
The old man was pacing back and forth holding his beard in his hand, and kept mumbling:
"Strange, so strange!"
Looking at the old man's appearance, Ye Chen waited quietly without disturbing him. After waiting for about three minutes, he raised his head and said:
"Master, my parents are dead. I am alone and I have attracted evil spirits. I am afraid that I will not survive. Please be kind to my master and accept me as my disciple. I will definitely do my best to honor and serve my master!"
Ye Chen also risked his life in order to become his disciple. In the new world, he would die at any time if he was broke. If he dared to maintain his real identity and look down on people from the other world, such a descendant would have died long ago without any bones left.
Although humans use the Tower of Eternity to traverse all the worlds, humans are not the most powerful existence in the world. At least in some extremely powerful super-level worlds, there are still some who are more powerful than the strongest humans.
exist.
Therefore, you must bow your head when it's time to bow your head, even if Ye Chen's true body is definitely stronger than the old man.
His sudden request to become a disciple did not surprise the old man, or he had expected it. Lao Miaozhu did not refuse on the spot, but hesitated. This allowed Ye Chen to see the opportunity and did not refuse on the spot, indicating that there was success.
Maybe it was just that Lao Miaozhu was hesitating, indicating that he had some concerns and his concerns must be dispelled.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen raised his head and asked softly:
"Master, is there anything dissatisfied with the boy?"
When the old man heard that his eyes fell on his thin body again, especially the top of his head, he sighed and said:
"It doesn't matter, if I don't accept you, you will definitely die. Since I can find you, it is fate, so I will accept you as a registered disciple first."
Ye Chen was overjoyed and immediately knelt down and kowtowed respectfully:
"Apprentice Zong Chen pays homage to his master!"
The name of his body is Zong Mingchen, and most of the people in the village are named Zong.
The old man nodded, stretched out his hand to help him get up, and said:
"The Dharma should not be taught lightly. Today, I will accept you as a registered disciple. I will give you three years. If you meet the requirements of being a teacher, I will accept you as a formal disciple and fax the Dharma. However, if you fail to meet the requirements of being a teacher, you will have no choice but to leave."
Go, are you willing?"
Ye Chen nodded solemnly:
"Apprentice is willing!"
"Go and call your senior brother here. I have something to say."
He knew who his senior brother was, the little Miao Miao Zhu in the front hall. He nodded and turned to the main hall dedicated to the land master. When he said "Senior Brother", Xiao Miao Zhu's hand that was drawing the talisman shook violently, and a piece of talisman paper was scrapped.
She looked up at him with a shocked face, and asked in disbelief after a while:
"What did you say?"
Ye Chen cupped his hands again and said:
"Junior Brother, I have been accepted as a registered disciple by Master. I have met Senior Brother!"
Xiaomiaozhu finally realized what he was doing, but he still looked suspicious. He probably didn't believe it. He put down his pen and went back to the backyard. The old man, well, he should be the master now. He was sitting on a big bamboo chair with a stone table next to it.
There is a basket covered with cloth.
The two came in and bowed at the same time and called themselves master. The old man hummed, pointed at Ye Chen and said to the small temple:
"Zong Ming, this is Zong Chen, my new registered disciple. Starting tomorrow, you will teach him the Four Yang Kung Fu."
"Disciple...Xiao's."
Zong Ming, also known as Xiaomiao Zhu, reluctantly agreed.
The master looked at Ye Chen again and said:
"Starting from tomorrow, you will follow your senior brother and your daily homework will be arranged by him."
He pointed to the basket on the stone table and said:
"Here are the things you need to do your homework. You must practice the Four Yang Gong to above the fifth level within three years before you can join our sect as a formal disciple. Do you know?"
Ye Chen said goodbye respectfully:
"Disciple, please remember this!"
"Very good, I hope you can do it."
After the old man finished speaking, he stood up and left. The two of them watched their master go back to his room. He and his senior brother Zong Ming were the only ones left in the courtyard.
Maybe Zong Ming was not happy about the sudden addition of a junior brother, and there was no joy on his face. But he was still a young man, and he was still innocent without having experienced intrigues. Even if he was unhappy, it was only shown on the surface, and he did not go against his master's arrangements because of it.
He just said to Ye Chen in a cold tone:
"Pick up your things and follow me."
After speaking, he walked towards another hut. Ye Chen smiled from behind, picked up the basket and followed in.
This room is where senior brother Zong Ming lives. There is only one bed and one table, but there are two chairs. Zong Ming sat on a chair and took out a yellowed book and said to him:
"Can you read or not?"
Ye Chen pointed to the book in his hand and said:
"Can you let me have a look? I've learned to read before, but I don't know if I can recognize them all."
Zong Ming didn't think too much and handed the book over. Ye Chen reached out and took the yellowed book. The book was very thin and had three vertical characters of Si Yang Gong written on the cover.
Opening the first page at random, there were more than a dozen lines of small characters written with a brush, each line containing more than a dozen characters, which added up to about two hundred characters. He looked at them one by one: Siyang Gong can strengthen the body and strengthen the soul.
The effect, if you practice it to perfection, you can...
It is not much different from the ancient traditional Chinese characters in other worlds. Almost most of the fonts are the same, with only a few characters having minor differences. He specifically pointed out these different characters for his senior brother to translate.
