Chapter 155 Rules
On the second day after returning to school, Cheng Zitong finished his work in the morning. Around noon, he couldn't wait to drive to the lakeside garden on the east side of the school. He asked as soon as he entered, "Where is my senior brother?"
The gatekeeper said, "Manager Cheng, the old man is teaching the students how to hold their strength."
Cheng Zitong took off his sunglasses and looked at him. "Old Qian, you're already old, and your senior brother can't show some understanding? He still lets you guard the gate?"
"It's not hard. The old man is taking care of me." The gatekeeper bowed.
"Okay, I'll go find him myself."
Cheng Zitong came up quickly, but he was not in a hurry when he got here. He walked slowly inside and came to the edge of the lotus pond. Looking at Qiao Linhu instructing his students in the water pavilion, he did not go forward, but just watched there with a smile.
Qiao Linhu also saw him, but ignored him and continued to teach seriously. The student was also very serious and did exactly what the teacher taught.
After a long time, Qiao Linhu waved to Cheng Zitong across the lotus pond and walked into the living room. The latter also walked over there with a smile.
When Cheng Zitong came in, Qiao Linhu asked, "Why are you free today?"
Cheng Zitong smiled and said, "Nothing, I just came to see you, Senior Brother."
Qiao Linhu looked at him and said, "There's tea on the table. I haven't drunk it yet. Pour it yourself."
Cheng Zitong said, "I won't be polite with you." He gestured toward the waterside terrace outside and said, "How is your student? I haven't seen him at school for a long time. With you here, brother, guiding him, I'm sure he's making great progress. His level should be very high. Hmm, he should have broken through the first limit, right?"
Qiao Linhu frowned and said, "How can it be that fast?" He said in a deep voice, "No one can break through the first limit after only one year of study."
"No?" Cheng Zitong thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement and said, "Brother, you're right. There isn't."
Qiao Linhu glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's not completely impossible. In the past, those evil sects stimulated people's potential, used strong drugs, used evil scriptures, and used demon fetuses to raise demon forms. However, this is an evil path and is absolutely not advisable."
Cheng Zitong said, "That's right. Those who take the wrong path can no longer be considered human beings. We are talking about serious students."
Qiao Linhu held his head high and chest puffed out, facing his student, and slowly said, "Master once said that to accumulate the true seed, it lies in the word 'accumulation'. Just as a tall building rises from the ground, don't rush for success. The tendons, bridges, and bones must be held straight. If not, the Qi will be weakened, and if the Qi is weakened, the blood will not be abundant, and the road ahead will be difficult."
Cheng Zitong sighed, gave a thumbs-up, and said, "That's right. I just took a look and I think this student of yours has a very good foundation! It's very stable. Don't tell me, this old man's method is good. Once he breaks through in the future, 90% of the students in the academy will be far behind."
Hearing this, Qiao Linhu held his beard with one hand and nodded, saying proudly, "Those young teachers in the academy haven't studied for a few years themselves, so how can they teach others? Humph, they dare to teach. In the past, who would have dared to teach apprentices without twenty years of experience and a certificate of apprenticeship? Aren't they afraid of corrupting others?"
"That's right."
Cheng Zitong sighed and said, "Look at me. I've only taught one student, but I'm always worried about not teaching well and misleading him. Look, this time I took him out to practice, hoping to teach him something, but he came back after just a few days. It's not that I don't want to teach, it's that I don't know how to teach. I think I should think about it, so why don't you take a look at me, Senior Brother?"
Qiao Linhu suddenly realized, is he here to seek Buddhist scriptures today?
He thought for a moment and said, "Junior brother, it's good that you think this way. But when teaching students, you must first set rules. Otherwise, if you can't teach well, what else can you do..."
He shook his head. "Students have to be divided into different categories. If they don't have talent, forget it. No matter how you teach them, they won't be able to learn well. As long as they can have a job after graduation, you have done them a good job."
Cheng Zitong sighed, "I'm not as good as you, Senior Brother. I remember back then, the old man always used you as an example to teach me and my fellow junior brothers. He also said that someone like me would only mislead students in the future. Only you, Senior Brother, could pass on his methods and train a truly talented disciple."
Qiao Linhu said earnestly, "Junior brother, you can't say that. You were still young at that time, and Master just wanted to inspire you. He has always had high expectations of you.
When it comes to teaching an apprentice, the first thing is talent, the second is the individual, and the third is the teacher's teaching. I can only contribute 30% at most, but if I, as a student, can fully grasp this 30%, I dare not say how much higher it will be. In the future, the road will definitely become wider and brighter, and the teacher's knowledge can be passed on and not buried. "
Cheng Zitong said, "That makes sense. I will come here often to ask for advice from you, Senior Brother."
Qiao Linhu nodded unconsciously. This junior fellow, who used to always argue with the master, now understands the teacher's painstaking efforts. There's a reason why the old rules have been passed down!
His mood suddenly brightened, and he asked, "Would you like to stay for dinner?"
"Eat, I'm hungry."
Qiao Linhu immediately asked the servants to prepare. After the food was served, the two of them sat at the table. However, Qiao Linhu was particular about not talking while eating. He chewed his food slowly and didn't say a word the whole time.
Cheng Zitong had a particularly good appetite today, eating until his belly was round. After finishing his meal, he touched his stomach and commented, "It smells so good! It smells so good! Brother, you are such a nice person here, and the food is so delicious. Why didn't I notice it before?"
Qiao Linhu put down his chopsticks and looked at him. "If you like it, come here often. There aren't many people here anyway."
Cheng Zitong shook his head and said, "No, that would disturb you from teaching your apprentice. Hey, why don't you ask your apprentice to come and eat with you?"
Qiao Linhu said slowly, "How can a teacher and apprentice eat together? Only after the master has finished eating can the apprentice sit at the table."
Cheng Zitong said, "It's the old rules again, right? I remember back then, the apprentice could only eat the leftovers left by the master."
"That's true, but Master has never been harsh towards us disciples."
Cheng Zitong nodded sincerely this time: "Old man, you did a good job on this point."
Qiao Linhu said, "Brother, I was abandoned in the wild when I was young. It was common for me to compete with dogs for food. It was my master who took me in and taught me a lot of skills."
He took out a handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and threw it on the table. "I don't understand the big principles. I only know that with martial arts skills, you can make a living wherever you go. But to develop skills, you must first have rules." He pointed to his chest. "These rules must be established in the heart and engraved into the bones before they can be passed down.
"Junior brother, it seems you care deeply about your student. Are you planning to take him on as your apprentice? It doesn't matter if he's lacking talent. What I said before still stands. As long as your student serves as my apprentice for three years, I can give him my sword manual. The rules are set. It doesn't matter if he's a little less talented. I can help him in the future."
Cheng Zitong just smiled and said, "Brother, it's not a good thing that your disciple always stays with you and never shows up at the academy. What are you going to do?"
Qiao Linhu said, "Master has said that once my apprentice has been taught well and has passed the exams, he will find a way to bring him to Central City. You, the student, will also have a chance if you follow him."
Cheng Zitong shook his head, "We can't compare, we can't compare." He stood up and put on his sunglasses, "Okay, brother, I'm done with dinner, I should go back, see you later." He waved his hand and walked out.
At this time, in a private training hall in the south of the city, Chen Chuan was practicing the stance again and again, while making shouting sounds, stimulating and guiding the growth of the alienated tissues in his internal organs.
He had to perform the whole act. He couldn't abandon the training habits he had planned out before just after getting the certificate. That would be too abrupt, so after showing up at the school, he came back here.
Just like the first limit, after reaching the second limit, he did not just strengthen a certain part of the internal organs like other students. The Zhou Yuan Jin method emphasized the wholeness and covered all the organs.
Therefore, the improvement in this stage may not seem like much progress at first from the outside, but in fact it is a horizontal expansion. After this step is completed, it will become stronger and stronger as time goes by, and every improvement is a huge progress.
The drugs he is using now are only allowed to be used at the second level, but in order not to expose his own progress, all these drugs were obtained by Cheng Zitong personally.
It's just the beginning now, and it's undoubtedly enough, but he is not a person with natural talent after all, and the dosage of the medicine is several times that of others. According to previous judgment, the effect of the medicine on him may gradually decrease after two or three months, so he will have to find something to replace it.
After spending a few days in the gym, it was soon the rest day in early June.
He packed up in the morning and went back to his aunt's house. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his cousin playing a high-five game. This time he brought some toys back and gave them to the two little ones.
Cheng Zitong knew that he had children at home, so he bought it from another place and asked him to bring it back with him, so that there would be no loopholes on the surface.
Nian Fuli was flipping through a workbook, comparing it with another, and occasionally writing something down. Seeing him come back, he said in surprise, "Xiao Chuan, didn't you go to practice with your instructor? Why are you back so soon?"
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Maybe I learn quickly, so I came back early."
Nian Fuli looked at him a few times, didn't ask any further questions, and continued to look at his notes.
Yu Wan said, "It's better to come back early. Nothing outside can compare to being at home."
Chen Chuan said, "That's right. The food outside is far less delicious than what my aunt cooks. I've always missed her soup." Yu Wan was very happy. "As long as you come back, I'll make it for you."
Nian Fuli also said, "Your aunt's cooking is beyond reproach, but these past few days I can only eat the hot meals she cooks on my days off."
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "Uncle, is there another big case?"
Nian Fuli never told him this before, but ever since he dealt with Fang Dawei and his gang, he would talk to him about things in the Police Bureau from time to time.
He shook his head and said, "The Blood Scar Gang has been making a lot of noise lately. They've been fighting with the Iron Chain Gang several times. Although the southern part of the city isn't our jurisdiction, we've been sending our brothers over there to help out."
Chen Chuan asked, "Is it because of the murder of the Blood Scar Gang leader?"
"You've heard about it too? It's about this. The bureau sent people to investigate. It's said that the real cause of death of those people was the Skull-Splitting Demon." He shook his head. "This is a difficult case to handle. It's an unsolved case. We're looking for the Iron Chain Gang because we can't find the real culprit. We can only find someone who is influential enough to give an explanation to the people below.
In fact, some leaders of the Blood Mark Gang did not want to fight to the death with the Iron Chain Gang, because most of the Iron Chain Gang's business was outside the city, and if they fought too much, the Blood Mark Gang would suffer greater losses.
Even though we've issued a warning, the Molan Company hasn't spoken yet, and the Bloodstain Gang is forcing the Chain Gang to hand over the murderer. I don't think this situation will stop anytime soon, and it's going to continue for a while. I don't know how many people will suffer as a result."
Chen Chuan nodded.
"Chan'er, it's almost vacation time. Are you going back home?" Yu Wan asked with concern.
Chen Chuan said, "Aunt, I'm coming back, but I have things to do at school and the company, so I probably won't be home for long."
Nian Fuli said to Yu Wan, "Xiao Chuan is an adult now, there's no need to restrict him." Yu Wan glared at him and said, "Who are you to control?"
"Okay, I don't care." Nian Fuli said helplessly.
At this moment, the two little guys, Nian Mo and Nian Lu, raised their hands together and said, "We want to be adults too."
Nian Fuli chuckled and straightened the notebook in his hand. "I hope you two can still think this way when you grow up. I'll worry less."
As they were talking, the phone rang in the living room. Chen Chuan walked over and picked it up. "Hello, this is Nian's house." Ren Shu's voice came from the other side, "Expert Chen, it's me, Ren Shu. I wonder if you have time now?"
Chen Chuan asked, "What's the matter?"
Ren Shu lowered his voice and said, "The Blood Scar Gang has sent people to the company."
