Chapter 12: Apprenticeship
Updated: 2013-11-05
The little brothers have always had great respect for Deng Chong, and they were even more afraid, so they hurriedly said yes. Yue Fei secretly looked at Deng Yun's departing back, and secretly swore in his heart.
"Big brother! Your affection for Yue Fei, Yue Fei has never forgotten it in his life, and one day, Yue Fei will repay this affection even if his liver and brain are smeared! ”
So, Deng Chong took a group of little brothers, with bundles of gifts, to the school. The school hall happened to teach a martial arts course today, and Zhou Yi took a group of juniors and disciples to practice martial arts in the willow forest outside the school. Deng Chong made his intentions clear to the protégé who was guarding outside the school, and a protégé entered the hall to report. After a while, Zhou Tong, who was dressed in simple service, came to greet him in person, and saw Deng Chong with four or five babies behind him, but he couldn't help but see Deng Yun's figure change slightly, and then saw Yue Fei, who was dressed in shabby clothes and had many patches on his clothes, his eyes lit up.
He had long found out that Deng Yun and Yue Fei were listening to books outside the window these days, thinking that these two children were so diligent, he couldn't bear it in his heart, especially a few times, he secretly observed these two children on the backyard pavilion, and found that these two children had a steady pace and a kung fu foundation. Once, Deng Yun and Yue Fei were on the way back, and the two practiced Wing Chun on a whim. Zhou Tong saw that this boxing technique was unfathomable and by no means an ordinary technique, although he was very curious, but he didn't want to disturb people abruptly, but he had more and more thoughts in his heart to accept these two sons as apprentices.
Zhou Dong's expression was focused on Yue Fei, Yue Fei was a little shy, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. Deng Chong glanced at Xu Qing, and Xu Qing understood it, so he led the little brothers to offer gifts and ask for a teacher.
Deng Chong said on the side: "These babies are not like the stubborn son in my family, they are all manufacturable materials. I also hope that Zhou Daxia will accept them. ”
Zhou Tong knew what Deng Chong was coming, sighed, and taught the children to get up first. Deng Yun had already discussed with them, if Zhou Tong refused to agree, he couldn't afford it, and he had already expressed his determination. No, Xu Qing and the others kowtowed again.
"Zhou Daxia, you see these babies are so sincere. Go down! Deng Chong also persuaded on the side. Zhou Tong frowned slightly, suddenly looked at Yue Fei, stretched out a finger and asked.
"Baby, don't you often come with the little brother of the Deng family on weekdays. Why is he missing today? ”
When Yue Fei heard this, he looked stunned, but he was not shy, and hurriedly replied.
"The eldest brother knows that the old gentleman doesn't like him, and he is afraid that he will come together and look embarrassed, so that my brother and I can't apprentice. The old gentleman is not strange, the eldest brother is righteous, kind-hearted, and treats my brothers very well. ”
Huo Rui next to him had already held back his stomach, and said this casually.
"My brothers have all respect for our eldest brother. Seeing that the old gentleman refused to accept him as an apprentice, and the brothers did not want to come to study, the eldest brother persuaded us to come. ”
Huo Rui said this, Ji Qing was busy trying to stop it, but Xu Qing, who was the most cautious on weekdays, changed his previous style and said again.
"Don't blame us, old gentleman, for being reckless. Although I don't know what mistake my eldest brother has made, which makes the old gentleman displeased. But I believe that with the temperament of the eldest brother, it is definitely not intentional, let alone a treacherous person. The eldest brother is friendly to people on weekdays, and whoever is in difficulty in the village must be the first to go to relief. The previous soup was in a big water, and the eldest brother almost killed himself in order to save people. If the eldest brother can learn the skills under the old gentleman, it will definitely be a blessing for the people of the world! ”
"Xiaoqing, don't mess around!"
Suddenly, Deng Chong shouted loudly, Xu Qing's face changed, and all the little brothers showed grievances. Zhou Tong watched silently, holding his long beard, secretly in his heart.
"Seeing that these babies are not fake, the children of the Deng family have such ability. As Nawa'er said just now, most of the poor families in the village praised him. If it weren't for his kindness and accumulation of virtue in many places on weekdays, how could he have such a reputation. If I teach him skills, will it be a blessing or a curse? ”
"Huh. It's really an old man, he doesn't have the compulsion he had back then, and he even has such concerns about accepting a protégé, if he really wants to learn, I will teach carefully, whether he can succeed in the future, but it depends on whether he has this ability! ”
Zhou Tong thought about it, and then he had an idea, and suddenly shouted.
"The baby outside the door, your brothers are complaining about you, what do you think in your heart, it's better to talk to the old man face to face!"
As soon as Zhou Dong's voice fell, Deng Yun's figure appeared in front of the door, and the little brothers saw Deng Yun, and their faces were happy. As for Deng Chong, he seemed to have expected Deng Yun to be by his side, so he just sighed softly.
"Don't blame the old man. I'm just worried about them, and I don't mean to mess with them. It turned out that Deng Yun had something to do, and after leaving, he couldn't rest assured, so he turned back again.
Zhou Tong waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's not important. These babies are all true temperaments, and they are reasonable, you answer the old man's question first. ”
"I think the old gentleman is reluctant to accept the kid to get started, and he has the reason of the old gentleman." Deng Yun arched and said respectfully.
Zhou Tong's eyes were bright, staring at Deng Yun, and asked in a deep voice: "You are not a thing in the pool, if you can learn the skills, you will definitely be able to make a splash sooner or later." At that time, if you can do good, you will be a pillar of the country, but if you do evil, you will be a great evil. Although you have a good temperament, but the troubled times are coming, and the way is dangerous and evil, how can you keep your heart unchanged? ”
"What does the old gentleman think is good and evil?" Deng Yun's face sank, but he asked Zhou Tong instead. Zhou Tong's face was stunned, this was a simple truth, but he suddenly felt that he couldn't open his mouth. Deng Yun said next.
"As the old gentleman just said, if you are loyal to the court, you will be good, and if you are against the court, you will be evil. But what shall I do if the court brings misfortune to the people, so that they will not be able to make a living? From there, harm the people. Otherwise, it is evil. ”
Zhou Tong's face was even darker, and he still did not answer. Huo Rui and Ji Qing were confused, but Xu Qing and Yue Fei were a little thoughtful. Deng Chong closed his eyes. After a period of silence, Deng Yun said again.
"I have a good conversation with the old gentleman. The great cause I want to create is the desire and hope of the people. For example, today's turmoil and stubborn diseases in the country are already well-known in the world. If there is still a glimmer of vitality in the imperial court, I will not give up even if I am full of liver and brain. But one day, when he is really terminally ill, he cannot be cured. If you obey it, you will only lose your loyalty and be a traitor. What happened to those heroes of Liangshan back then? ”
Zhou Dong's face was slightly touched, his two apprentices were important leaders among the heroes of Liangshan, thinking of their tragic end, how could Zhou Dong's heart calm down.
"That's it. You baby is really an outlier, the old man saved your life that day, and you already had fate. With your knowledge and skills, no matter who you learn from, he will be able to achieve something in the future. But if you encounter a great traitor, you may go astray. It's better to be taught by the old man. As long as you promise the old man, after learning the skills, you must not do anything that hurts nature and reason. The old man will take you as an apprentice! ”
Zhou Tong's attitude suddenly changed, and he actually agreed to accept Deng Yun as an apprentice. And don't look at Zhou Tong's hard words, in fact, he is also very reluctant to give up Deng Yun and other gems. This surprise came too quickly, Deng Yun couldn't react for a while, and his face was full of consternation.
"Silly boy, don't kneel down and apprentice quickly!"
Deng Chong grinned, Deng Yun hurriedly knelt down, and the little brothers were all happy and cheered. Zhou Tong didn't like clichés and etiquette, but Deng Chong persuaded him many times, but he still responded. Deng Chong immediately went back to prepare.
At noon that day, in the front yard of the school, incense and candles were lit on the case, and Deng Yun, Xu Qing, Ji Qing, Huo Rui, Yue Fei and other five people formally bowed to Zhou Dong, who was sitting in the teacher's seat, and then bowed to a group of fellow brothers under Zhou Dong's signal. Wang Gui was very happy, squeezing his eyebrows and making eyes on the side, Zhang Xian and Tang Huai also showed joy on their faces, the three of them already got along very well with Deng Yun and them, and they would study together in the future, wouldn't they be happy!
"Well, there's no need for extra holidays. In the future, the five of you must study diligently, get along with each other in a friendly way, not fight in private, do your homework every day, and don't be lazy! ”
At this time, Zhou Tong stood up and said very majestically. Deng Yun and the other brothers immediately respectfully responded 'yes'. Zhou Tong bowed slightly, pointed at Deng Yun and Yue Fei, and said with a smile.
"Yun'er, Fei'er, a few days ago, I was resting in the pavilion for the teacher, and I saw that you were learning a set of boxing techniques, maybe you could observe it for the teacher?"
Deng Yun and Yue Fei listened, looked at each other, and remembered that day when they went home after listening to class and practiced on the road, they hurriedly responded to the promise.
Zhou Tong then led a group of apprentices to the martial arts training ground in the willow forest outside the hall. Deng Yun and Yue Fei stood still, their expressions solemn, as if they were facing a great enemy. It is said that Yue Fei's boxing method was taught by Deng Yun, and he was not Deng Yun's opponent when it came to fire. But this is not the case, Yue Fei is extremely talented, and he is born with divine power, not only has a high level of understanding, but also studies hard, and after only three months of practice, he has surpassed Xu Qing, Ji Qing, and Huo Rui. Deng Yunzi would not underestimate Yue Fei, and the two of them practiced against each other on weekdays, but they did not go all out.
Zhou Tong saw that the two of them were stable, and they were not impatient, so he secretly praised and said with a smile.
"Both of you have to use your real kung fu, so that the teacher can see your heat, and then give instructions."
Deng Yun and Yue Fei should say yes in unison, and after the two saluted, they set aside Jiashi and stared at each other, but no one scrambled to attack first. Although this is the case, Zhou Tong is even more appreciative, and his eyes are more and more beautiful. A breeze blows, and the willow branches fan. Deng Yun suddenly moved his steps, took the initiative first, and hit with both fists, fast and fierce. Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Even Zhou Yi's expression changed when he saw it, and he was secretly surprised. Deng Yun attacked quickly, but Yue Fei defended steadily, only to see Yue Fei's arms moving, blocking or dialing or patting, dissolving Deng Yun's offensive one by one. Yue Fei knew that he was not Deng Yun's opponent, and on weekdays, Deng Yun had at least seventy percent of his strength, so he made up his mind, first to hold steady, and then to move. Deng Yun was also not in a hurry or impatient, his fists were like a storm, his feet were constantly moving, and his body was extremely wonderful, making Yue Fei feel as if he was being attacked in all directions.
"Foot down the plate, hit three inches."
Suddenly, Zhou Tong opened his mouth slightly. When Yue Fei, who was already in the middle of the wind, heard this, his black and white eyes burst into light instantly.
