The Life of a Fool in a Siheyuan

Chapter 98.Rules of the Baji Gate
After some introductions, Huo Shanlin looked at Wang Dachui and said: "Wang Dachui, our Baji sect does not have as many disciples as other boxing styles. After my generation, there will be even fewer in the next generation, so this initiation ceremony will be simplified. ,"

Huo Shanlin: "In this era, everything has to be simplified. If we let it go, I would definitely have called my father's disciple brothers and my fellow disciples to come over to witness your initiation. Forget it for now. When I have time in the future, I will introduce you to him."

Huo Shanlin: "Okay, you kid, don't just stand there stupidly. Kneel down quickly and kowtow to your master, grandmaster, and elders of the sect. After kowtowing, you can be officially admitted."

Hearing that he was going to kneel down, Wang Dachui still felt uncomfortable as a modern person, but it didn't matter if he said goodbye to these seniors.

Although these other people did not know their deeds, the sharpshooter Li Shuwen was a strong man who had resisted foreign enemies. Wang Dachui knelt down and kowtowed three times.
After kowtowing, Wang Dachui was about to stand up when Huo Shanlin said: "Boy, it's not over yet. After worshiping the master, now you have to kowtow to your master. Master, I will tell you the rules of my Baji Sect."

Wang Dachui had no choice but to kowtow three more times honestly.

Huo Shanlin sat on the chair with a smile, stroking his beard, watching Wang Dachui kowtow to him, and thought to himself, now he has a successor.
This child's physique is naturally suitable for the fierce boxing style of Baji, and his achievements in the future will be limitless. Although his muscles and bones have become fixed as he gets older, it is not a big problem. He just needs to be trained and trained later.

Wang Dachui raised a cup of tea and said, "Master, let's have some tea."

Huo Shanlin: "Okay, good disciple, from today on you will be my second disciple, and also my close disciple of Huo Shanlin. From now on, you will learn boxing from the master with all your heart, you know? I hope that Bajiquan can be carried forward in your hands." .”

Wang Dachui looked at him and thought, "Well, today I have kowtowed all the New Year greetings. There are too many rules for apprenticeship, but this old man said that he is the second oldest, and he has a senior brother?"

As for promoting Bajiquan, Wang Dachui feels it is a bit difficult. With the progress and development of the times and the improvement of technological and living standards, there will only be fewer and fewer people practicing martial arts.

Later, they will be impacted by foreign culture. In the future, more and more people will no longer believe in local boxing techniques. As a result, many of these boxing routines will be lost in later generations, and they will all practice foreign boxing techniques.

Putting aside his thoughts without thinking deeply, he kowtowed and prepared to stand up.

Huo Shanlin said again: "Don't get up in a hurry. Remember this from now on. You can only get up after the master tells you to get up, you know?"

Wang Dachui: "No, master, what age is this? Why are you still doing this? You have such an unacceptable idea."

Huo Shanlin: "Haha, kid, it's not up to you. You have now entered our Baji Sect. Our Baji Sect has six rules. The first one is to respect the master. If you contradict the master, you will be punished. Punishment, if you kid wants to be beaten, just get up."

Hearing this, Wang Dachui looked at the old man, shrank his neck and didn't dare to stand up. He couldn't beat him, so he could only continue to kneel.

Huo Shanlin looked at Wang Dachui and said, "Listen carefully, master will tell you our sect rules. You already know the first rule, so master won't mention it."

"This second sect rule is that we in the Baji Sect are not allowed to fight against each other. Anyone who fights against a fellow sect will have their hands broken."

"Third, you are not allowed to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country. If any member of our Baji Sect collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country, he will be expelled from the sect and killed without mercy. All the members of the Baji Sect can kill you."

"Fourth, you are not allowed to bully the weak. Fifth, you are not allowed to commit adultery, robbery, and those who commit evil acts by force will have their limbs cut off and be expelled from the school. Sixth, you are not allowed to spread the Bajiquan technique privately."

"You must keep these rules in mind. Tomorrow I will write a letter and convey your message to your uncles and uncles, as well as your senior master."

"Let them know in advance that you are here. After the Chinese New Year this year, I will take you over to meet them and let you officially get to know these elders."

After listening to these rules.

Wang Dachui: =()This?These sects are so ruthless. I would have known that I would not become a disciple. Alas, it is probably too late to regret it now.

It feels like I have joined an organization. Although there may be someone to protect me in the future, I will still be subject to many restrictions, such as these rules and so on.
At this time, Huo Shanlin said: "Okay, everything that needs to be explained has been clearly explained. Is there anything else you want to ask me?"

Wang Dachui: "Old man, oh no, master, I don't understand. Then why are you testing me like that in that alley today? I can understand what you said before about testing your character, but you are still so stubborn later on. Practice, is that too much?"

Hearing Wang Dachui's words, Huo Shanlin stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Dachui, we martial arts practitioners have a saying that when practicing martial arts, you must first cultivate morals. If you teach a person without martial arts virtues boxing, his martial arts will be cold in the past. In the era of weapons, it was a disaster. After all, human desires are endless."

Huo Shanlin: "These are the lessons accumulated by the elders of the sect. Therefore, the most important thing for our Baji Sect to recruit disciples is conduct. If their morals are not up to par, no matter how talented they are, they will not be accepted into the sect."

Huo Shanlin: "As for why I did that even after you apologized today, I have only one purpose, which is to test your boy's endurance. There used to be an old saying that a hero breaks the law with force, so sometimes when things happen, he is too impulsive and is not good for himself. good."

"You also know that the current era is not like the past. Impulsive actions will get you into trouble. After all, fisting has no eyesight. If you beat someone up, you won't be able to get back. If you have an impulsive personality and beat someone to death, then It’s going to be troublesome,”

"So, the master just wanted to see how your boy's endurance is. I really didn't expect that you, who are so angry at such a young age, can still hold back and not do anything to me. This really impresses me. Compared to Your senior brother was much stronger back then."

After listening to his cheap master's words, Wang Dachui nodded speechlessly, complaining secretly in his heart, you are too provocative, but it's not about my endurance,

But if you are here at your age, you will have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to support an old man in future generations. If I beat you, it will be fine. This is a warning engraved in your bones!
At this time, an old lady with gray hair came into the living room. When she saw Wang Dachui, a stranger, she looked at him suspiciously.
Wang Dachui also looked at her curiously, and saw that the old lady was not tall, looked very kind, and was neatly dressed.

She feels as amiable as the grandma next door, and her facial features can vaguely reveal her beauty when she was young.

The old lady looked at Huo Shanlin again and said, "Old man, didn't you go for a walk? When did you come back? Who is this young man?"

Huo Shanlin: "Honey, I've been back for a while. This is Wang Dachui, my new apprentice, haha."

Hearing this, the old lady looked at Huo Shanlin in shock and said, "Didn't you, old man, say before that you would never accept a disciple in this life? How come you suddenly figured it out again?"

Huo Shanlin touched his beard awkwardly and said: "Honey, today is fate. This kid, Sledgehammer, is the most talented person I have met in these years. I'm thinking of accepting a disciple now, okay. , don’t mention this.”

After speaking, he looked at Wang Dachui and said: "Dachui, let me introduce to you. This is my wife, your mistress. Her name is Lu Ping. You can just call me mistress."

Wang Dachui looked at her and smiled: "Hello, Master, I am Wang Dachui,"

Lu Ping looked Wang Dachui up and down again, and finally nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, Dachui, you are really strong. No wonder the old man said you have talent. You are much better than that kid Li Xingyi." .”

Hearing this, Wang Dachui smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say, but who was this Li Xingyi?

Huo Shanlin: "How many times have I told you not to mention that kid? I get angry when I hear his name. You are not allowed to mention him in the future. Did you hear that?"

Lu Ping: "Oh, okay, my memory is bad, I won't mention it again."

Wang Dachui looked at the two of them in confusion. He didn't know what they meant by their words. Why was the master so angry with Li Xingyi!
Huo Shanlin nodded and said: "Honey, tonight you cook some of your specialty dishes. Sledgehammer also worshiped me as his master today. It just so happens that I, the master, would like to express my gratitude. Let's celebrate tonight, haha!"

Lu Ping: "Okay, it's lunch time, so I'm going to cook. Sledgehammer, then you can have a good chat with your master, and I'll cook some vegetables and I'll be ready soon."

After hearing what the two said, Wang Dachui felt that something was inappropriate. Although he was not a disciple willingly, there was no reason for a master to treat his apprentice to a meal after becoming a disciple.

Wang Dachui hurriedly said: "Master, Mistress, how can this be done? How can your elders treat my juniors to dinner? Don't bother me. I'll buy a roast duck tomorrow and bring some dishes over. I'll invite you." It’s up to the master and mistress to eat.”

Hearing Wang Dachui's words, Huo Shanlin and Lu Ping looked at each other and nodded with a smile.
Huo Shanlin: "Sledgehammer, don't make friends with us, and eat at my house tonight,"

Lu Ping also said: "That's right, why are you so polite? You just wait."

After repeated invitations from the two of them, Wang Dachui could not refuse and could only agree to stay for dinner. After saying this, his wife Lu Ping went to the kitchen to cook.

Wang Dachui was sitting in the living room with his cheap master, chatting.

Huo Shanlin said: "Sledgehammer, from now on you will eat when we come and ask you to eat. There is no need to be polite to us. As the saying goes, once a teacher is always a father, so you should not be so alienated from us."

Huo Shanlin: "Besides, weren't you still asking for favors from me back then? You asked me to take care of your food and drink. Why are you so polite now?"

Hearing this, Wang Dachui scratched his head and said: "Hey, Master, I was just joking about that at that time. I just didn't dare to refuse you directly for fear that you would beat me up. I didn't expect you to agree to this. .”

Hearing this, Huo Shanlin frowned and said, "You kid, am I so unreasonable in your eyes?"

Wang Dachui glanced at Huo Shanlin, curled his lips and said, "Master, if you meet someone like you today, what would you think? Haha."

Hearing this, Huo Shanlin blushed immediately and was too embarrassed to continue the topic. Instead, he asked Wang Dachui about his family situation, and Wang Dachui naturally told him everything honestly!

After hearing what Wang Dachui said, Huo Shanlin was surprised and said, "What you said at that time was all true? I thought you were talking nonsense."

Wang Dachui: "Master, what's the nonsense? Who can curse their own parents? By the way, Master, I see it's getting so late, why didn't you see your child come back? You and I are the best?" The two of you live alone?"

After hearing Wang Dachui's words, Huo Shanlin stood up and glanced outside the door.
Then he looked at Wang Dachui and said: "Don't mention this in front of your wife in the future. She will feel uncomfortable when you mention this. Something happened to your wife and I back then, so we never had children. Don't mention it in the future." Do you know?"

Wang Dachui nodded and said: "Master, I'm sorry, I don't know this, and I will definitely not mention it in the future."

Huo Shanlin: "It's okay, it's all in the past."

At this time, a voice sounded outside the door: "The food is ready, you two come over and eat quickly."

Huo Shanlin: "Sledgehammer, let's go, let's go have dinner and have a drink with me tonight. It's been a while since I drank, haha."

Wang Dachui smiled and nodded, stood up and followed him. Looking at his cheap master, Wang Dachui suddenly felt that the old man in front of him must have a lot of stories.
But if they don’t have children at their age, and if they get older in the future and can’t take care of themselves, how will they live their lives? They must have their own sufferings in their hearts.

Without thinking too much, I followed Huo Shanlin to the kitchen. There was a table in the room, and several dishes were already placed on the table.
One dish of braised fish, one dish of braised pork, steamed bacon, and two vegetarian dishes. When Wang Dachui saw these dishes and smelled the smell of meat, his mouth salivated.
I thought to myself, I went to my future father-in-law’s house for dinner two days ago. Although his house had four dishes and one soup, it was just small meat dishes. The food for a cheap chef like me must be too good, it was all big meat dishes.

Huo Shanlin looked at Wang Dachui and said: "Dachui, sit down and eat quickly. My wife, bring us a bottle of wine. I want to have a good drink with my apprentice tonight."

Lu Ping nodded when she heard this, went out of the kitchen to get some wine, and came back in about a minute.

Wang Dachui hurriedly said: "Master Wife, I'm really sorry to trouble you. This dish is too rich. Please sit down and eat it."

Lu Ping: "Haha, why are you so polite? Come sit down and eat."
