morning of October 1
Baiyun main building
A white beam of light slanted in from the wooden window and fell on the carpet. Fine dust can be vaguely seen flying slowly in the air.
Garen stood respectfully in the center of the martial arts hall, teacher Fei Baiyun sat on a high seat, and the senior sisters and second senior brothers stood on both sides.
The third senior brother stood on the right side, holding a square wooden plate in his hand, which was covered with a red cloth.
There were two rows of seats on both sides of the Martial Arts Hall, and there were more than a dozen people sitting sparsely. They were divided into two groups. They were all wearing white Taoist uniforms, and their eyes were sharp and energetic. The leaders were two old men in their fifties and sixties.
"Since I personally selected it and became a disciple, there is no need for redundant and cumbersome etiquette. Today, I invited the two hostesses Hurley and Hest to witness. Let's start."
Fei Baiyun nodded to third senior brother Garcia.
"Start." Garcia shouted loudly, with his always playful and smiling personality, he didn't dare to delay the business at this time.
Two young girls in white Taoist uniforms came forward, each holding a plate containing red greeting cards and a reddish-brown wooden cup.
"Read the rules and regulations of the sect." Garcia said loudly.
Garen straightened his body, picked up the red greeting card from the plate, slowly opened it, and began to read aloud.
"Don't underestimate your teacher; don't forget your righteousness! Don't show off; don't be rude! Don't do evil; don't be greedy for unjust wealth; don't be arrogant and complacent; don't practice boxing."
"Disciple Lombard Gallon, must abide by the school rules! Inherit the martial art of our school!"
"Remember the rules of this sect, do you have anything else to say?" Fei Baiyun looked over with a smile.
After closing the greeting card with a snap, Garen knelt down and kowtowed.
Boom boom boom!
After three rings, he took the wooden cup from one side of the plate and offered it to Fei Baiyun with both hands.
Fei Baiyun took the cup and took a sip of the black tea inside. Then he took a quill pen handed over by the second senior brother, signed his name on the greeting card, and stretched out his hand to the witnesses on both sides.
"Witnesses please sign!" Garcia said loudly.
The two old men smiled and signed their names on the red greeting cards respectively.
The bald old man on the left cupped his hands and said, "I didn't expect that Master Fei would accept another disciple when he was over 60 years old. Moreover, he has good aptitude and is more than stable. It deserves congratulations and congratulations."
Fei Baiyun smiled with satisfaction. "No, I'm old too. Garen is the last disciple I decided to accept, and I don't have the energy to accept another one in the future. My hope, the hope of Baiyunmen, rests on the four of them."
He has investigated Garen's situation in many ways these days, and learned about it through various channels, including his family background, behavior, and temperament. He was very satisfied with the results.
The most important thing is that even if Garen's aptitude is not great, he will definitely be able to pass on the martial arts of the martial arts school normally. At the very least, the secret art of giant elephant secret martial arts must not be lost. Only the second child, Farak, is still not safe. After all, martial arts practitioners might die someday.
"What Brother Fei said, you are old, so we are all about the same age. I still want to live longer and teach more apprentices." The red-haired old man on the other side shook his head and smiled. .
Fei Baiyun stood up, and on the mahogany table behind him were several black spiritual tablets, with handwriting written on them in unfamiliar characters.
"My Baiyunmen has been handed down to me, and it is already the sixth generation. From this point forward, I will pay homage to the ancestors and masters of the past generations."
Garen kowtowed respectfully to the tablet three times again.
Fei Baiyun looked at the respectful and family-friendly Garen, and nodded.
"Although your parents didn't come here today, and the two elder brothers are short on time, so we held a teacher apprenticeship in advance in order to catch up with the time. But since you have passed this hurdle, from today onwards, you will be my closed disciple of Fei Baiyun. Master’s honor and disgrace is our own honor and disgrace.”
"Yes! Teacher." Jia Long nodded his head solemnly.
"Okay, get up."
Garen stood up slowly, and the ceremony was over when it reached here.
The Martial Arts Hall is the hall on the second floor of the main hall. At this time, a large group of people gathered at the stairs, most of them are official disciples in the martial arts hall.
The students of Baiyun martial arts are divided into three categories: ordinary, formal, and core.
Garen passed two levels in a short period of time and directly became the core, which was also related to his age and talent.
Fei Baiyun's Baiyun Sect recruiting disciples is not as cumbersome as other martial arts schools. In fact, this has something to do with the actual status of Baiyun Martial Arts School.
Garen could tell from the gate rules that he read just now that Baiyun Gate actually belonged to that kind of martial arts school that was both good and evil, and the gate rules didn't have any detailed regulations on the moral aspects of life.
That is to say, as long as you don't betray the teacher and don't do things that insult the reputation of the teacher, it doesn't matter what you do.
After the apprentice apprenticeship, Fei Baiyun sat down with the two hall masters and chatted with each other. The rest of the disciples went downstairs one after another and went to the living room to rest and prepare for dinner.
Garen followed the senior sister and the second senior brother, and just happened to see the bare back of the senior sister Luoxita, with a faint tattoo of a white tiger. The white tiger is ferocious and ferocious, and with the movement of its skin, there is a faint aura of blood that is pressing.
The white tiger tattoo extends from Rosita's back to her chest, across her shoulders, and a blood-red spine is clearly visible in the center of the tiger's back.
But when Garen looked carefully, he realized that it wasn't the tiger's spine that was red, but a bloody scar on the shoulder of the elder sister. He just used this scar to deliberately tattoo the tiger, and made the scar into the spine of a white tiger.
The second senior brother, Farak, was tall, and he was sitting down and chatting passionately with the disciple of Hall Master Hurley. That man was also a strong and sturdy man, and the two seemed to have similar tastes, and they were old acquaintances.
On the other side, the elder sister Losita was chatting with another disciple of the owner of Hest. The other party seemed to be very interested in the elder sister and seemed very active.
Garen sat next to the third senior brother Garcia, listening to the casual chat between the two sides, bored.
Both of them are restless temperaments.
"Senior brother, can we formal disciples only learn the second level of the Baiyun secret technique and then stop learning?" Garen asked in a low voice.
"This is indeed true. The secret method behind requires some more precious medicinal materials and external conditions, and only the core disciples can get the supply. Why do you suddenly think of asking this? You only learned the first level of the secret method, and it is still too early to break through to the second level." Wait, what's the rush." Garcia asked doubtfully, "But it's just boring, and you're officially apprenticed, so I'll tell you about the situation later."
"I'm just curious." Garen smiled. "After all, those who learn martial arts, everyone wants to know the specific direction of their path."
"You sound old-fashioned when you talk." Garcia nodded, "The second layer of the white cloud secret method can increase the power by half. This is my personal experience. And the third layer can only be practiced by the master and senior brothers and sisters, and I am still far behind. , I heard from them that the third layer can really double your strength, that is to say, your original basic strength is doubled on this basis. The elder sister has increased by about 100 pounds, and the second brother has increased by 150 pounds This is the limit. The third level of the Baiyun Secret Art is also the highest level that someone in our martial arts school has practiced. The fourth level after that has only been practiced by the founder of Kaipai. It is said that with the giant elephant secret martial arts, it can reach the power of the giant elephant!"
"The power of a giant elephant! That's almost two thousand pounds!" Garen was startled.
"No one has measured this specifically, but it must be very strong anyway." Garcia rubbed his chin with longing.
After chatting for a while, the main hall arranged to have lunch, and the two hall owners left directly with their disciples. Some congratulatory Huaishan City celebrities came again.
Some big figures, like the mayor and the governor, sent congratulatory stickers respectively.
Including the other guests who came to congratulate, the scope of being shocked by this apprentice apprenticeship actually involved the entire Huaishan.
After some reception, the time arrived in the afternoon without knowing it, and all the meals I had at noon were almost consumed.
After a hasty meal in the afternoon, Gallon was called out by Fei Baiyun alone, and brought to the door of a small, narrow and airtight room.
Sitting at the door was a bare-chested bald old man with knotted muscles and blue veins coiled around his body like black snakes. His long white beard on his chin stretched to his chest. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, not knowing what to do.
Fei Baiyun stepped forward and whispered a few words to the old man, with a respectful attitude.
The bald old man nodded, opened his eyes and looked at Garen, as if he wanted to recognize him thoroughly, then closed his eyes again and ignored him.
Fei Baiyun nodded and stepped forward to open the door.
There was a creak, and nothing could be seen inside the door. Fei Baiyun turned on the kerosene lamp on the wall, and the dim light immediately illuminated the entire small room.
Rows of black bookshelves inside were revealed, and some small books were sparsely placed on the bookshelves.
"Here are the notes I have recorded from my Baiyunmen martial arts training in the past. You can look through them casually. Don't worry about these now, I have time later. Come with me first."
Fei Baiyun stopped Garen from flipping through the bookshelf, strode past the side of the bookshelf, and walked towards the innermost part.
"Uncle Bai is guarding this place, so it is absolutely safe. He has already remembered your aura. In the future, as long as you don't bring other people with you, you can come in and out here at will. This is one of the privileges of being a disciple of the hall master."
"Yes. The disciple knows."
Fei Baiyun nodded and walked to the last row. There was only a black teapot on the black bookshelf.
He carefully took off the teapot and gently poured it into the palm of his hand. Suddenly, a maroon-colored pill rolled out of the spout.
Pass the pill to Gallon.
"Eat it!"
Garen took the pill, threw it into his mouth without hesitation, and swallowed it whole.
"Master, what is this?"
"Quen Tiwan, has your Baiyun secret technique reached the second level?"
Fei Baiyun glanced at Garen with a half-smile, and the latter was startled, not knowing how to answer.
"Don't worry, the first level of the Baiyun Secret Technique is the best and easiest to pass. In addition, I also used the aroma of special herbs to build your foundation. It's not unusual to pass quickly. There are also many patriarchs in the history of the sect. Those who will soon reach the second level are all talented. But after reaching the second level, if you want to sprint to the third level, you must cooperate with the unique medicinal pills."
He put the black teapot back on the bookshelf.
"Remember this, you come to eat one of the elixirs in it every day, so that you can slowly increase your cultivation of the secret method. This thing can't be improved only by hard training, of course hard training is also essential."
"Yes." Garen suppressed his surprise and answered quickly. He felt Fei Baiyun's eyes swept over him, like two searchlights, it was difficult to hide anything.
"Don't hide your little things. It's not a big deal if you get into the Burst Fist. I have seen many examples like yours. In the real circle, it can only be considered barely."
Fei Baiyun casually revealed all his secrets. Seeing the embarrassed expression on the new apprentice's face, he himself felt a little proud. If he hadn't discovered this disciple's secret, he wouldn't have wanted to recruit him in such a hurry.
As for the real circle and so on, if there were really so many students who could casually practice the Burst Fist, then Baiyun Martial Arts would have dominated the province long ago. There is still a need to nest in such a place as Huaishan. It was only because he was afraid that he would be proud that he suppressed this statement with all his strength.
Disciples with this kind of talent only appeared once in the history of Baiyunmen, and they were all examples of being born very suitable for Baiyunmen's martial arts. Their progress was very fast, and their talents were extraordinary.
Garen knew that he had been completely seen through, so he didn't say any more, but just laughed twice.
"I'm afraid it's too special."
