Chapter 155: Fifty-five Rules

Upon returning to the school, the gatekeeper said, "Supervisor Cheng , the old master is teaching the students how to exert strength." Cheng Zitong took off his sunglasses and looked at him. "Old Qian , you're getting on in years. Doesn't the senior apprentice brother show you any consideration? Still making you guard the gate?" "It's not hard work. This is the old master taking care of me," the gatekeeper bowed slightly. "Alright, I'll go find him myself." Cheng Zitong came quickly on the way, but when he arrived, he wasn't in a hurry. He strolled inside, came to the lotus pond, and watched Qiao Linhu instructing his student in the waterside pavilion. He didn't go forward, but just watched there with a smile. Qiao Linhu also saw him, but ignored him, still teaching seriously. The student was also very meticulous, doing exactly as the teacher taught. After a long time, Qiao Linhu waved to Cheng Zitong across the lotus pond, then went into the living room. The latter also smiled and walked over there. When Cheng Zitong came in, Qiao Linhu asked, "Why are you free to come today?" Cheng Zitong said with a smile, "Nothing, just came to see you, senior apprentice brother." Qiao Linhu looked at him. "There's tea on the table, I brewed it but haven't drunk it yet. Help yourself." Cheng Zitong said, "I won't stand on ceremony with you." He gestured towards the waterside platform outside and said, "How's this student? I haven't seen him at school for a long time. You're guiding him hand-in-hand here, so he must be improving rapidly. His level should be very high, and should be breaking through." Qiao Linhu frowned and said, "How can it be so fast?" He said in a deep voice, "There's no one who can break through after only studying for a year." "Isn't there?" Cheng Zitong thought for a moment, hummed, and nodded in agreement. "Senior apprentice brother is right, there isn't." Qiao Linhu glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's not entirely impossible. In the past, those evil cults would stimulate the potential of the human body, use harsh drugs, use evil scriptures, and use demon fetuses to nurture demon forms. But this is an evil path, absolutely not advisable." Cheng Zitong said, "That's right, those who take the evil path can't be considered human anymore. We're talking about proper students ." Qiao Linhu raised his head and chest, and slowly said towards the direction of his student, "Master, the old man, said that the True Essence Seed lies in the word "nurturing'. Tall buildings rise from the ground, don't be eager for quick success. The tendon bridge and bone beams must be held upright. If they are not upright, the Qi will decline, and if the Qi declines, the blood will not be strong, and the road ahead will not be smooth." Cheng Zitong said, "Hey," and gave a thumbs up, saying, "That's right. I just took a look, and your student's foundation is particularly good! Especially solid. You have to say, the old man's method is good. Once he breaks through in the future, 90% of the Academy's students won't be able to catch up." Qiao Linhu stroked his beard with one hand and nodded, saying self-importantly, "Those young teachers at the Academy haven't studied for a few years themselves, how can they guide people? Hmph, they dare to teach. In the past, without twenty years of accumulation and without a graduation certificate, who would dare to come out and teach disciples? Aren't they afraid of teaching people badly?" "That's right." Cheng Zitong sighed and said, "Look at me, I only teach one student now, and I'm always afraid of not teaching well, afraid of misleading others. You see, this time I took him out for cultivation, thinking I could teach him something, but I didn't expect to be back in 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 I came to see you, senior apprentice brother." Qiao Linhu suddenly understood, he came to seek advice? He thought for a moment and said, "Junior apprentice brother, it's good that you think so, but when teaching students, you must first establish rules, otherwise you can't teach well, and also…" He shook his head, "Students must also be divided. If they don't have talent, then forget it. You can't teach them well no matter what. As long as they can have a bowl of rice to eat in the future, you'll be worthy of them." Cheng Zitong sighed, "I'm not as good as you, senior apprentice brother. I remember back then, the old man always used you as an example to educate me and the junior apprentice brothers, and said that someone like me would mislead others if I taught students. Only you can pass on his methods and teach truly outstanding disciples." Qiao Linhu said earnestly, "Junior apprentice brother, you can't say that. You were still young at that time. Master just wanted to encourage you. He always had expectations for you. Furthermore, when teaching disciples, first look at talent, second look at oneself, and third look at the teacher's teaching. I have at most 30% of the effect, but if my student can thoroughly understand this 30%, I dare not say too much, but in the future, the road will definitely become wider and brighter, and the teacher's things can be passed down, so that they won't be buried." Cheng Zitong said, "That makes sense. I will often come to ask you for advice in the future." Qiao Linhu nodded unconsciously. This junior apprentice brother always went against the master in the past, but now he still understands the teacher's painstaking efforts? The old rules can be passed down, that's reasonable! His mood suddenly improved, and he asked, "Staying for dinner?" "Yes, I'm really hungry." Qiao Linhu immediately asked the servants to prepare. After the food was served, the two sat at the table, but Qiao Linhu emphasized eating in silence, chewing slowly, and didn't say a word throughout the entire meal. Cheng Zitong had a particularly good appetite today and ate until his stomach was round. After finishing, he touched his stomach and commented, "Delicious! Especially delicious! The people here are good, and the food is also delicious. Why didn't I realize it before?" Qiao Linhu put down his chopsticks and looked at him, "If you think it's delicious, then come often. I don't have many people here anyway." Cheng Zitong shook his head and said, "I'd better not. I'll be disturbing you from teaching your disciple. Hey, why don't you call your disciple over to eat together?" Qiao Linhu slowly said, "How can there be a reason for teachers and disciples to eat together? Only after the master has finished eating can the disciple come to the table." Cheng Zitong said, "It's the old rules again, right? I remember that back then, disciples could only eat the leftovers that the master had eaten." "That's the principle, but the master never treated us disciples harshly." Cheng Zitong nodded sincerely this time: "The old man did a good job on this point." Qiao Linhu said, "I was abandoned in the wild since I was a child. It was common for me to compete with dogs for food. It was the master who took me in and taught me all my skills." He took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth and threw it on the table, "I don't understand great principles, I only know that having martial arts skills allows you to settle down anywhere, and to develop skills, you must first have rules." He pointed to his chest, "These rules must be established in the heart, engraved in the bones, so that they can be passed down. Junior apprentice brother, it seems that you are very concerned about your student. Are you planning to teach him as a disciple? Lack of talent doesn't matter. What I said before still counts. As long as your student comes to be my disciple's assistant for three years, my Knife Manual can be given to him. If the rules are established well, it doesn't matter if the talent is poor. My disciple can help him in the future." Cheng Zitong just smiled and said, "Senior apprentice brother, your disciple is always here and doesn't show up at the Academy. That's not a good thing either. What are you planning to do?" Qiao Linhu said, "Master said that if my disciple is taught well and all the certificates are obtained, he will find a way to take him to Central City. Your student can follow along, and there will be opportunities." Cheng Zitong shook his head, "Can't compare, can't compare." Standing up, he put on his sunglasses, "Alright, senior apprentice brother, I've finished eating, I should go back. See you later." Saying that, he waved his hand and walked out. At this time, in a private training hall south of the city, Chen Chuan was repeatedly practicing stance strength, while making shouts, stimulating and guiding the growth of the mutated tissues in his internal organs. He had to put on a full show. He couldn't just get the certificate and immediately stop using the training habits that he had intentionally arranged before. That would be too abrupt, so after showing his face at the school, he returned here again. So the improvement at this stage, at first, seems to have no progress from the outside, but in fact, it is expanding horizontally. When this step is completed, the further back it goes, the stronger it will be, and every improvement will be a huge progress. He is now using drugs. He is now using the beginner's version of the Special Drugs for Internal Organs. For most people, such a standard is enough to quickly improve Internal Organs Strength, and can be used for a year or two. Now it's just the beginning, so it's undoubtedly enough, but he is not really a person with innate talent after all. The amount of medicine he uses is several times that of others. According to previous judgments, the effect of drugs on him may gradually decrease after two or three months, so it is necessary to find something to replace them. After staying in the training hall for a few days, the holiday in early June soon arrived. He packed up in the morning and returned to his little aunt's house. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his younger cousins playing a hand-clapping game. This time, he brought back some toys and distributed them to the two little ones. This was what Cheng Zitong bought in another place because he knew there were children in his family, and asked him to bring them back so that there would be no loopholes on the surface. Nian Fuli was flipping through a workbook, comparing it with another booklet, and occasionally writing something on it. Seeing him come back, he asked in surprise, "Little Chuan , didn't you go to cultivation with your mentor ? Why are you back so soon?" Chen Chuan said with a smile, "Maybe I learn quickly, so I came back early." Nian Fuli looked at him a few times and didn't ask further, continuing to look at his notes. Yu Wan said, "It's good to come back early, being outside is not as good as being at home." Chen Chuan said, "That's true, the dishes outside are far less delicious than what little aunt makes, and I've always missed the soup that little aunt stews." Yu Wan was very happy, "As long as you come back, little aunt will make it for you." Nian Fuli also said, "Your little aunt's skills are unquestionable, but these days I can only eat the warm meal made by your little aunt on holidays." Chen Chuan looked at him: "Uncle , is there another big case?" Nian Fuli never told him this before, but since he dealt with Fang Dawei and his gang, he would occasionally tell him about the Patrol Bureau. He shook his head and said, "Recently, the Bloodstain Gang has been making a lot of noise, and they have fought with the Iron Chain Gang several times. Although the area south of the city is not our jurisdiction, brothers from our district are often transferred to help." Chen Chuan asked, "Is it because the leader of the Bloodstain Gang was killed?" "You've heard about it too? It's about this. The bureau sent people to take a look, and it is said that the real cause of death of those people was the Skull-Splitting Demon ." He shook his head, "This thing is not easy to deal with, it's a headless case. Looking for the Iron Chain Gang is because we can't find the real culprit, so we can only find someone with enough weight to give an explanation to the people below. In fact, some leaders of the Bloodstain Gang don't want to fight to the death with the Iron Chain Gang, because most of the Iron Chain Gang's business is outside the city, and the Bloodstain Gang will lose more if they fight too much. Although the higher-ups have greeted them, the Molan Company hasn't spoken yet, and the Bloodstain Gang is forcing the Iron Chain Gang to hand over the murderer. I think this matter will not stop for a while, and there will be more trouble, and I don't know how many people will suffer." Chen Chuan nodded. "Chan'er , now that you're on vacation, are you going home to live?" Yu Wan asked with concern at this time. Chen Chuan said, "Little aunt , I will come back, but there are things at the school and the Company, so I may not be able to live at home for many days." Nian Fuli said to Yu Wan , "Little Chuan is an adult now, don't restrain him." Yu Wan glared at him, "It's none of your business." "Okay, okay, it's none of my business," Nian Fuli said helplessly. The two little ones, Nian Mo and Nian Lu , raised their hands together at this time and said, "We also want to be adults." Nian Fuli said with a sigh, straightening the workbook in his hand, "You two, it would be good if you still think so when you grow up, and I will worry less." While they were talking, the phone rang in the living room. Chen Chuan walked over to answer it, "Hello, this is the Nian residence." Ren Shu's voice came from the other side, "Expert Chen, it's me, Ren Shu . I don't know if you have time now?" Chen Chuan asked, "What's the matter?" seaʀᴄh thё Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ren Shu lowered his voice a little and said, "The Bloodstain Gang has sent someone to the Company."
