Zhang Ran said it sincerely, looking at the other party expectantly, but in fact he felt a little helpless in his heart. To be honest, he was forced to make this request.
He possesses the inheritance of the Jade Book and possesses the most authentic cultivation techniques and techniques of Xuanmen. In this aspect, he does not need the guidance of a master.
Of course, a person's progress will inevitably be slow, but the secret of the Jade Book is too powerful. It can be seen from the battle of Jinhun Mountain and Jiang Lingxue's encounter a few days ago. If he accidentally obtains the secret of the Jade Book inheritance and leaks it, , it is conceivable that he will immediately become the target of everyone in the world.
Therefore, in Zhang Ran¡¯s heart, he doesn¡¯t want anyone to know his secrets. It¡¯s good to be a disciple, and having someone to guide him will help him get twice the result with half the effort, both in terms of experience and understanding, but his own secrets are also in danger of being leaked.
However, now he had to decide to worship the old man as his teacher. The reason was that the old man knew the secret of his clairvoyance. The secret of his clairvoyance was naturally different from the secret passed down by the Jade Book, but it could not be easily understood either. Revealed, what would others think if they knew that a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old had clairvoyance before he could reach the realm of concentrating consciousness as a god? 80% think Zhang Ran has some secret method or something special.
Greed is the original sin and the source of all evils. Zhang Ran knows this well. Since the old man already knows the secret of his clairvoyance, he can only choose to worship the old man as his teacher.
People in the world attach great importance to mentorship. It is a serious crime to deceive one's master and destroy one's ancestors. Similarly, most masters are relatively responsible. If Zhang Ran worships the old man as his master, the old man can't harm his disciples.
Although it is true that there are cases where masters persecute disciples and disciples deceive masters and destroy their ancestors, they are still in the minority. Zhang Ran¡¯s only prayer is that the old man is a good person.
Having said this, some people may have the urge to laugh. What is the concept of a good person? In Zhang Ran's mind, a competent master is a good person to him.
Without further ado, let¡¯s get to the point. When the old man saw Zhang Ran saluting respectfully and saying that he wanted to become his teacher, he deliberately touched his not very long beard in embarrassment and pondered hesitantly. In fact, he was already happy in his heart. Flowers bloomed.
"This little guy finally fell into the trap." The old man's face was calm, but he was filled with pride. Just as Zhang Ran guessed, it was impossible for a master like the old man to come to him for no reason. He must have a purpose.
That day, Zhang Ran inadvertently entered the realm of selflessness by the Weiming Lake in Beijing, and touched the threshold of the realm of the soul. His mind drifted away in the wind, and he was inadvertently noticed by an old man passing by.
At that time, the old man was just a little curious, and after subconsciously checking it, he found that the owner of this mind was actually a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.
You must know that mind cultivation is different from martial arts cultivation. Martial realm refers to internal strength and martial arts, but mind refers to spiritual power. Generally speaking, mind cultivation is much more difficult than martial arts cultivation. In addition to perseverance, you must also have talent. .
Although there are many difficulties in practicing martial arts, as long as you work hard and work hard, you will eventually make up for your shortcomings. If you persevere, you will eventually achieve great success. Just like the male protagonist Guo Jing in Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", his own talent is not outstanding, but he relies on hard work. and down-to-earth, and eventually became a martial arts master.
Of course, things in the novel cannot be generalized, but it also roughly explains the situation of martial arts practice. The cultivation of the mind is different. In addition to having extraordinary perseverance and character, one must also have the ability to comprehend, because the cultivation of the mind will progress in the later stages. The most important thing about the environment is one's own perception.
It is precisely because of this that the old man was quite surprised when he discovered Zhang Ran's age, so he began to observe Zhang Ran. After observing Zhang Ran for a whole week, the old man made up his mind to test it out.
In fact, the old man had no intention of accepting Zhang Ran as his disciple at first. In the old man's view, Zhang Ran should have a good master with such cultivation at such a young age. The purpose of the test was just to find out which sect this genius belonged to. Disciple, unexpectedly, he learned through trial that Zhang Ran had no master, and this ability was acquired entirely by chance.
This made the old man even more surprised. It was not easy to reach such a state at such a young age even if someone pointed it out. If you try it yourself, it would be a rare sight.
??????????????? Due to many reasons, the old man was moved to cherish his talent, and then he waited until Zhang Ran showed up after breaking the formation, otherwise the old man would not have met Zhang Ran at all.
Although I had already planned to accept Zhang Ran as my disciple, most people in this world have some quirks, and the old man was no exception. He was unwilling to step down and bring it up on his own, so he put some thought into it.
The reason why the old man kept asking Zhang Ran how he broke the formation was because he was not only curious but also guessed that there must be some secret in it that was not known to outsiders.
If he hadn¡¯t wanted to accept Zhang Ran as his disciple, the old man wouldn¡¯t have pressed him so hard and casually agreed to Zhang Ran on one condition: to explore other people¡¯s lives.Secrets are considered taboo in the world, and the old man has not yet gone so far as to do so.
The script really followed the old man¡¯s idea. Zhang Ran told the secret of his clairvoyance, and then proposed to become his teacher.
"this¡¡"
The old man pretended to be a disciple and said: "I don't want to accept a disciple. I am used to being a nanny. I don't want to be a nanny. To be a teacher, you must fulfill your responsibility as a teacher. Why don't you change your request?"
"No, I still ask senior to accept me as his disciple. Is it possible that senior intends to break his promise?" Zhang Ran shook his head and said.
"Tsk! It's really troublesome."
The old man deliberately hesitated and said, "It's not impossible for me, old man, to accept you as my disciple. You must promise me one thing."
"Senior, please tell me." Zhang Ran still bowed his waist and said, scolding the old guy half to death in his heart. If you hadn't been pestering me, would I need to beg you so hard at this time?
"Reach the realm of Yuanshen within one year, and then you will be qualified to be my disciple." The old man said, raising his head.
"Master, are your requirements too high?" Zhang Ran heard the old man's request and knew that the old man had relented, so he hurriedly said with a shy face.
"Go, don't rush to call the master." The old man was also dumbfounded by Zhang Ran: "If I didn't have this confidence, I would rather break my promise."
"That's okay." Zhang Ran said helplessly.
"Boy, don't cry and make it look like I owe you. Since I agree to one condition, I will temporarily accept you as a registered disciple. If you reach the realm of Yuanshen within a year, you will be considered my official disciple."
"Thank you, master." Zhang Ran smiled hurriedly. As he spoke, he knelt down and bowed and kowtowed three times to perform the apprenticeship ceremony. The old man did not refuse and sat upright to accept Zhang Ran's courtesy.
After Zhang Ran performed the apprenticeship ceremony, he breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether he is a formal disciple or not, since the apprenticeship ceremony has been carried out, the old man can be regarded as his master after all. He does not expect the old man to teach him any profound skills. He only hopes that the old man will teach him any profound skills. Just don't make any crooked ideas about him.
The old man and the young man had their own secrets, but they finally achieved their wishes. After Zhang Ran stood up, the old man pointed to the chair next to him, told Zhang Ran to sit down, and immediately put on the airs of a master.
Zhang Ran hurriedly picked up the teapot and poured water for the old man and said with a smile: "Master, I don't know your old man's name yet. Look"
"What, are you going to go out and mess around under the banner of my old man? Let me tell you, if you haven't reached the realm of Yuanshen, don't go out and tell others that you are my disciple. I can't afford to embarrass that person." The old man said with a straight face.
"See what you said, I always need to know what my master does, in case it's" Zhang Ran said with a playful smile, giving the old man a knowing look.
The old man was immediately angry and said angrily: "What if it is a gangster or a flower picker?"
"No, I don't mean that." Zhang Ran waved his hands and smiled.
"Okay, listen, my name is He Zhengping, please remember it." The old man ignored Zhang Ran's playful smile and rolled his eyes at Zhang Ran.
"He Zhengping!" Zhang Ran muttered softly, and then his eyes widened instantly, looking at the old man with incredible eyes and trembling: "You are He Zhengping, you are really He Zhengping, you are Zi Shengyuan, said That He Zhengping named Qian Yuanzi!"
"Why, you have heard of me, old man." The old man was also a little surprised, rolled his eyes and asked.
The old man said this, which was a disguised admission. Zhang Ran was immediately overjoyed and murmured in his heart. He didn't expect that the cheap master he had hired turned out to be He Zhengping. He was making a lot of money now. The background of this master was huge.
While thinking in his heart, Zhang Ran nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I've heard of it, why haven't I heard of it? Your reputation is so great, just like the vast starry sky and the rushing sea. The dazzling sun"
