Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 686: Lu Family Inheritance, Testing Fang Yan's Apprentice

Anton volunteered to carry a box of New Year gifts.

Seeing this, Fangyan reminded him not to hurt his waist.

But Xiao Maozi said:
"Master, I have practiced Kung Fu for so long and it is not in vain. Now is the time for me to show my strength."

Hearing Anton's insistence, Fang Yan said:

"Well, just be careful about your own safety."

After saying that, he called Sophia and Zhao Zhengyi and walked towards his master's home.

As if knowing that someone would come to visit and wish a happy new year, the gate to Master Lu Donghua's courtyard was not closed at all. Fang Yan pushed the door open and walked in.

He shouted at the door:
"Master! We are here to see you."

Hearing the noise outside, the door was opened after a while.

The person who opened the door was actually Mr. Lu’s youngest son, Lu Sihai, Lu Wangyou’s father.

As soon as he opened the door and saw Fangyan, he immediately greeted him:

"Brother Fangyan!"

"Brother Sihai, I've brought my apprentice to see the master." Fang Yan replied to him.

Lu Sihai saw Fang Yan with Sophia and Zhao Zhengyi, as well as the man behind them who was holding a box and completely blocking his face. He called out:

"Hurry up, come into the house."

"The old man was still talking about you to others just now."

Fangyan nodded:
"Row."

Then he took his apprentice home.

Looking back at Anton, the boy was trembling all over. There were indeed a lot of things in the box, and he didn't have the physical strength to hold on for long.

Faced with his apprentice's condition, Fang Yan, the master, did not stand idly by. He stepped forward and supported the bottom with one hand, and immediately the pressure on Anton's hand was greatly reduced.

There are a lot of New Year gifts here. It would be bad if they were dropped. To save his apprentice's face, Fang Yan said to him:
"You can't see the road, watch your step."

Anton breathed a sigh of relief, but in order to prevent his sister from discovering the problem, he immediately said:

"Master, I can see that."

Fang Yan rolled his eyes at him, but still helped him carry the things into the room.

It was only after I entered the room that I discovered that quite a few people had come today. In addition to the brothers I knew, there were also a few people who looked like my master Lu Donghua.

There is no need to guess to know that these must be his children.

There are also some daughters-in-law and grandchildren.

As soon as Fang Yan entered the room, he shouted to his master Lu Donghua:
"Master, we are here to wish you a happy new year!"

At this time, little Zhao Zhengyi had already taken the lead in shouting to the old man in the room:
"Master!"

Then he bowed to the old man in the standard New Year greeting gesture.

When Sophia saw her junior brother's action, she followed his example and bowed to Lu Donghua:
"Master, we are here to wish you a happy new year!"

After Fang Yan and Anton put down their things, they also bowed to Lu Donghua.

Many people in the room should have heard of Fangyan, but they didn't know that he actually accepted foreign apprentices, two blond and blue-eyed Russians who spoke with authentic accents, which made many of them a little confused.

For a moment, he looked at the master and his disciples at the door, stunned.

When the old man saw it, he immediately smiled and greeted in dialect:

"Fangyan is here. I was just talking about you. When Xiao Hu came this morning, he said you had to work during the New Year holidays. I was thinking you didn't have time to come, but I didn't expect you to come again."

"How is it? There is no traffic jam on the road today, right?"

Fangyan shook his head and said:
"Sophia was driving, there was no traffic."

Mr. Lu said:
"Okay, when you come, come to the inner room and burn some incense for the ancestor."

Fang Yan nodded and followed his master Lu Donghua to the room where the books were previously placed.

Now the interior has been redecorated, with the tablet of the Lu family's ancestors placed in the most conspicuous position.

It is already filled with incense sticks, and there is a copper basin underneath containing burnt paper.

Fang Yan is a direct disciple who inherited all of the Lu family's medical and martial arts, as well as medical books and weapons. Except for the fact that his surname is not Lu, he is the most qualified person among all the people present to burn this stick of incense.

Fang Yan lit the incense respectfully, bowed in front of the tablet of Lu family ancestors and then inserted it into the incense burner.

Then he looked at the master and asked the other disciples behind him if they wanted to bow as well.
Mr. Lu thought for a moment and said:
"Since they are all your disciples, then let's all pay our respects!"

Afterwards, Anton, Sophia, and the young apprentice Zhao Zhengyi also went to burn incense and worship.

Because little Zhao Zhengyi was not tall enough, his master Lu Donghua carried him to light incense.

And he taught him:

"First, insert the middle incense stick, which is called 'respecting heaven', to show respect for heaven; then insert the incense stick on the right, which is called 'respecting earth', to show gratitude to the earth; finally, insert the incense stick on the left, which is called 'respecting ancestors', to show respect for the ancestors. When inserting incense sticks, the incense sticks must also be kept straight and vertical..."

Little Zhao Zhengyi is smart and clever, and very likable.

The old man was very satisfied with this disciple. He held him in his arms and explained the rules of burning incense with a smile.

Only after burning the incense did Fang Yan and the others come out.

Then Fang Yan greeted the people he knew in the room, starting with Senior Brother Xu Jinsheng:

"Big Brother!"

He came alone today wearing military uniform, and it seemed that he had resumed work.

Looks pretty healthy.

"Junior brother." Xu Jinsheng nodded at Fang Yan with a smile.

Fangyan then asked Xiao Maozi and Zhao Zhengyi to come up and call him Master Uncle.

Master Lu Donghua said to Fang Yan:

"Thanks to the ointment you made last time, they have recovered well and are now back to work."

Last time, Fangyan made a bone-setting ointment and applied it to all of them.

Several people who were lying in bed at the time can now move normally.

Fang Yan then greeted Ding Jian and his wife:

"Second brother, second sister-in-law."

Then there are the third senior brother Zhan Guoxian and the fourth senior brother Shang Yunxiang. They all seem to have recovered well. When Fangyan greeted them, he carefully observed their movements and now they have basically all returned to normal.

Afterwards, Mr. Lu introduced Fang Yan and Anton, Sophia and Zhao Zhengyi whom he brought with him to the family. He also introduced other members of the Lu family to Fang Yan.

These are the members of the Lu family who have not been seen for many years and can only be seen once during the Chinese New Year.

Fang Yan has been very popular recently. The people in the Lu family know that he is the old man's apprentice, so they all respect him very much and come up to shake hands with him and become familiar with him.

Some of them are almost as old as Fangyan’s father, and their children are older than Fangyan.

He also came up to greet Fangyan.

There is no way around it. Dialects are a hot topic these days, appearing on TV, in newspapers, and on the radio.

The only way to not know him is to completely cut off contact with the outside world.

After introducing Mr. Lu’s children and grandchildren, they are actually doing quite well and have become the top in their respective industries.

However, Fangyan was not from the same system as them, so they had nothing in common. After a few casual greetings, Fangyan returned to his fellow apprentices and started chatting with them.

After the previous incident, everyone is now very familiar with the dialect. It can be said that the dialect saved their lives, so it is very natural for them to say whatever they think of when chatting together.

Then they talked about when Xiao Li would come back from abroad.

Because Ding Jian was injured, he was not included in the trip abroad this time, but he knew the plan to go abroad very clearly. After asking Fangyan, he found out that the trip abroad was going to last for about one and a half months.

This means that Xiao Li and his friends will be returning home in about a week.

I can only celebrate the Chinese New Year abroad, but when I come back I can still celebrate the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

Then Fangyan asked Ding Jian, Xiao Li and others about their competitions abroad.

Ding Jian lowered his voice and revealed to Fang Yan:
"The situation is kept secret, even I don't know about it. But judging from the leader's tone, they must have suffered some setbacks. However, they were not completely annihilated, so it should be a bitter victory. The specific situation can only be known after they come back and I ask them in person."

After saying this, Ding Jian reminded Fang Yan:
"Don't tell these overseas Chinese businessmen about this!"

Dialect waving hands:
"Don't worry, I still understand this rule."

It just so happened that Fangyan's several disciples were here, and the uncles were very curious about their situation and wanted to know how their skills were improving after practicing with Fangyan.

The master is a super genius, and the disciple doesn’t know to what extent he can reach the same level of master’s skills.

Fangyan called Anton, Sofia and others over, and performed a set of boxing moves in front of several senior masters.

Sophia's experienced movements obviously surprised several people. They didn't expect that she was another master.

It's a pity that she is a girl and is a little weak in physical strength, but fortunately she is a white person and has a big physique, which can make up for this situation.

Then they saw Anton throwing a set of mediocre punches in front of them.

The uncles all shook their heads and felt sorry. This kid looked talented, but his comprehension was not good. If he could have Fangyan's comprehension, he would be Fangyan in Shan Haoran's body, just like Lu Bu riding Red Hare.

Too bad it didn't reach that level.

Then little Zhao Zhengyi also fought back, but since he was just a kid, no one took it seriously.

Anton and Zhao Zhengyi became anxious when they saw this situation!

You guys should ask me about medical skills right away!
I am very good at medicine!

As a result, after they finished talking about martial arts, they had no intention of talking about medicine at all. Fangyan saw their mood and reminded them that these uncles had not learned the medical skills from their grandfather very well, so they basically would not ask about medical skills.

The two of them immediately felt that they had been fooled. The senior masters all knew not to expose their weaknesses, but they actually did. Next time they come, they will definitely not talk about martial arts, but will specifically ask the senior masters about medical skills!
At this moment, there was another knock on the door, accompanied by a shout:

"Old Lu! Old Lu! Open the door quickly!"

"Just now the security guard Xiao Zhang said that your apprentice Fangyan is here?"
