Chapter 5 Apprenticeship
"Where have you been, Yu'er? You haven't seen anyone for most of the day."

As soon as Guo Yu went back, Huang Rong couldn't help asking.

"Mother, let me tell you something." Guo Yu pulled Huang Rong aside alone, "I saw Grandpa."

"What, dad is here too." Huang Rong was overjoyed, "Why didn't you bring your grandfather here?"

"Mother, that's what happened, I just..." Guo Yu told Huang Rong exactly what happened just now.

"You, you are such a smart little ghost, you actually found an apprentice for your grandfather." Hearing what Guo Yu did, Huang Rong couldn't laugh or cry.

"Mother, you also know that Grandpa is withdrawn, he doesn't like excitement the most, and he often walks alone." Guo Yu explained solemnly: "So I found him an apprentice, which happened to be his company."

"Okay, that's fine."

Huang Rong knew Huang Yaoshi's personality, so she was relieved to have a young apprentice with her.

At the same time, she also understood that Huang Yaoshi would show up when he wanted to see her, so she didn't force her anymore.

"Let's go, your father has also taken in two apprentices." Huang Rong took Guo Yu's hand, "Mother will show you and get to know each other."

When they came to the courtyard, Guo Jing was teaching martial arts to two children, and he looked taller than Guo Yu.

"His name is Wu Dunru." Huang Rong pointed to the left side and said, "The other is my younger brother Wu Xiuwen, both of whom are older than you. From now on, you can call them senior brothers."

"Mother, what you said is wrong." Guo Yu shivered, "Although these two brothers have worshiped father as their teacher, but I got started earlier than them. I think they should call me senior brother."

Of course Guo Yu was dissatisfied, and he didn't want to call the two little brats senior brothers.

"Yu'er is right." Guo Jing is a man of etiquette, and agrees with Guo Yu's point of view, "How about this, Da Wu, Xiao Wu, from now on you will be called Little Brother Yu'er."

"Yes, Master." The two brothers said in unison.

"Senior brother is just senior brother, but I still have to add a boy." Guo Yu still muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"Pfft!" Huang Rong couldn't help but patted Guo Yu's forehead, "You're a big kid."

……

next day
"Yu'er, I want to take Fu'er and the others to play in the city, do you want to go?"

Guo Fu kept arguing to play, but Huang Rong couldn't persuade her, so she had to agree.

"I'm not going. I wandered around the city for most of the day yesterday, and it wasn't interesting."

Guo Yu has his own plans.

After sending Huang Rong and the others away, Guo Yu came to the woods outside the city alone.

He has been busy on the road these days, and his martial arts have fallen a bit, so Guo Yu is going to practice seriously today.

After finding a clean bluestone, Shen Xin meditated for half an hour, and Guo Yu practiced the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms one by one.

First follow the order, then mix it up, and finally send out whatever trick comes to mind when you think of it.

"call……"

The whole morning, I was sweating profusely.

However, it seemed as if he let out a breath of depression in his heart, and his whole body was refreshed and extremely comfortable.

Seeing that the time was almost up, I got up and went back, planning to go back for dinner.

Guo Yu held his outer robe in his hand and only wore his underwear. Anyway, this place is far from the people, so he is not afraid of being seen by outsiders.

Unexpectedly, just passing through the forest and preparing to cross the river, he found a middle-aged monk in green shirt sitting horizontally in the middle of the stone bridge, holding a jug of wine in his hand, drinking with gusto.

"Senior, please let me go, the boy needs to cross the bridge to go home."

Unexpectedly, the monk ignored him at all, and still sat there drinking to his heart's content.

"Senior, can you let me go."

"Senior, senior,..."

Guo Yu called several times in a row, but the monk still didn't respond.

"Senior, please forgive me for being rude."

Knowing that monks who walk alone in the rivers and lakes are generally not simple, although Guo Yu was very angry, he did not lose his temper.

Seeing that there was still a gap in front of the foot on the river, I prepared to walk sideways around the monk and pass slowly.

Unexpectedly, the monk suddenly kicked his calf.

Suddenly, the body lost balance.

Guo Yu hastily held down the edge of the bridge with both hands, and subconsciously swung his body forward so as not to fall into the river.

"Too deceiving."

Guo Yu was annoyed, and raising his hand was a note of remorse.

But the monk was about to hit him, but the monk still didn't respond. Guo Yu couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

He has never killed anyone in two lifetimes, but at this moment, because of the conflict of emotions, he hurt other people's lives, which really shouldn't be done.

So Guo Yu hastily withdrew his internal energy.

"Kick! Kick! Kick!"

But because he hadn't practiced for a long time, he couldn't send and receive freely, and his internal energy reverberated for a while, which shocked him back a few steps in a row.

"Little baby, who taught you the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?" The monk who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke out.

"Huh!" Guo Yu, who managed to stabilize his body, showed surprise, "Senior, do you recognize this palm technique?"

"That's natural." The monk retracted his legs and stood up, "Little baby, you haven't answered the old man's question yet?"

"The younger generation is called Guo Yu, so my father Guo Jing taught Kungfu." The monk in front of him probably has a lot of history, and Guo Yu didn't hide it.

"Guo Jing? No wonder." The monk was thoughtful, then smiled and said, "Little baby, I don't think you have a bad heart. Would you like to take this old man as your teacher?"

"Apprentice teacher?" Guo Yu finally understood why he wanted to find fault with him.

"Senior, are you...?"

Although he figured out why the monk was teasing him just now, Guo Yu didn't know his identity at all. It was impossible for him to accept a stranger as his teacher.

"My name, I almost forgot." The monk's expression suddenly became a little sad, and he said reminiscingly: "I used to call myself Xu Zhu."

"Ah! Xu Zhu!" shouted, Guo Yu's expression became very surprised.

"Why, you've heard of the old man's name?" Xu Zhu's reaction to Guo Yu was a bit strange, logically speaking, no one in the world should remember him.

"This..." Guo Yu couldn't help but panic, "This junior once heard a brother from the Beggar Clan mention that senior was an expert in martial arts a hundred years ago."

"I see. I didn't expect that after so many years, there are still people who remember me."

Guo Yu didn't expect that Xu Zhu was still alive.

According to his age, the Wujue with the highest seniority in martial arts today, in front of this one, would probably have to call him grandpa.

"Since you have heard about me, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" After regaining his senses, Xu Zhu repeated the question just now.

"The junior is honored."

Guo Yu put on his robes, tidied them up neatly, bowed respectfully to Xu Zhu and saluted, "Disciple Guo Yu, pay homage to Master."

"Good boy, get up quickly." Xu Zhu lightly waved his sleeve to help Guo Yu up.

"Master, do you live in Jiaxing?"

"That's not true, I just happened to travel here as a teacher."

Xu Zhu shook his head in denial, "It may be due to fate, I accidentally saw you practicing the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms in the forest, which made me want to accept disciples for my teacher and student."

"Then I waited on this stone bridge, deliberately teasing you, wanting to see Yu'er, how human you are."

"I understand, Master just wants to test me." Guo Yu rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly.

"Yu'er, you don't know something." Xu Zhu's tone paused, his expression gradually became serious, "Our martial arts are extremely powerful, if they are entrusted to non-human beings, it will surely bring disaster to the world."

"Your master just didn't notice for a while, and took in a disciple who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors. As a result, he was unlucky for half his life, and caused terrible harm to Jianghu."

Guo Yu understood right away, Xu Zhu said that this unfilial person should be Ding Chunqiu, and he is indeed called the devil of the previous generation.

"By the way, let's not talk about this anymore." Xu Zhu changed the subject, "Yu'er, your internal strength should be from the Nine Yin Manual, right?"

"That's true, Master is really powerful, you can tell it at a glance." Guo Yu praised.

"Well, this kung fu is not bad." Xu Zhu nodded, "Nine Yin Manual is the authentic martial arts of Taoism. Unfortunately, the moves in it are too harsh, and you may go astray if you are not careful."

"Master, have you seen the Nine Yin Manual?" Judging from Xu Zhu's expression, it seemed that he knew the scripture very well.

"That's when I passed Huashan as a teacher in the past, and I heard that Huashan discusses swords." Xu Zhu smiled, "I happened to meet Wang Zhenren who had returned from victory, so I made a bet with him on a whim, that's how Xin witnessed this Scripture."

"I see."

Guo Yu suddenly realized that Xu Zhu was the wine-fighting monk who had been drinking and betting with Wang Chongyang.

"Isn't the Nine Suns Divine Art also created by Xu Zhu?" Guo Yu whispered secretly.
