Chapter 119: Recruiting a Disciple
The next morning!
A piece of news came out in the extraordinary circle that shocked the entire circle.
At this ghost market in Wushang City, the ghost merchant Gao Rui was defeated.
There are a total of seven ghost merchants in the country. Each of them divides the area and controls and monopolizes the ghost market. They are usually arrogant. The most important thing is that no one can tell when the ghost market will be needed, so you can't offend these people.
And now, the news that Gao Rui was dead spread, which shocked all the aliens.
Although none of these ghost merchants are good people and cannot be offended, no extraordinary person is willing to be a ghost merchant. As extraordinary people, their lives will naturally not be difficult. There is no need to become a ghost merchant and make themselves lonely.
However, the main reason why the extraordinary circle was shocked was not this, but the detailed content in the announcement issued by the appraisal institute.
According to the announcement, Gao Rui, as a ghost merchant, should have maintained the rules of the ghost market, but he allowed ghosts to deceive ordinary people into entering the ghost market, causing the ghost merchants to fail for no reason. This was a dereliction of duty, and according to the rules, he was deprived of the ghost merchant seal and lost his identity as a ghost merchant.
It was this announcement that shocked the extraordinary circle.
Gao Rui was deprived of the Ghost Merchant Seal.
The entire extraordinary circle knows that once a ghost merchant contract is signed, it cannot be revoked because it is recognized by the Yin and Yang, unless the ghost merchant is killed and someone else takes over as the ghost merchant.
This is the reason why these seven ghost merchants are so confident.
But now the appraisal institute actually issued a statement saying that Gao Rui’s ghost merchant seal was taken away. How could they not be surprised?
Could it be that the appraisal institute has obtained some extraordinary treasure from the underworld?
Some strange people began to speculate that the appraisal institute must have entered a sealed realm related to the underworld and obtained some treasure.
Because only the underworld is qualified to remove the identity of a ghost merchant, and the underworld no longer exists in the real world.
In less than a few hours, the remaining six ghost merchants expressed their attitudes through WeChat Moments or other means.
As ghost merchants, it is their responsibility to maintain the rules of the ghost market. They will never disrupt the order of the ghost market like Gao Rui did.
It is obvious that these six ghost businessmen are afraid. They used to have a stable job and had nothing to fear, but now their stable job may be destroyed, so they naturally dare not be as fearless as before.
Who knows if the appraisal institute has removed Gao Rui’s identity as a ghost merchant, can it also remove their identities as ghost merchants?
The most excited people are the consultants of the appraisal institute.
In the same extraordinary circle, those extraordinary people who did not join the appraisal institute as consultants did not say anything openly, but they were always sarcastic about them secretly, saying that they were eagle claws and dog fangs.
What era is this? How can there still be such thoughts? They are consultants and the two parties are in a cooperative relationship.
Now they have finally been able to hold their heads high for a while, and many aliens have contacted them, wanting to inquire about the inside story, and their attitude is more friendly than ever before.
This also resulted in the number of chat messages in the consultant group exceeding tens of thousands in just one hour. Chen Ming and Li Datou looked at these chat messages, and neither of them expected that these guys could talk so much.
This is almost as much as the amount of chats we had in the past year.
Especially Chen Ming, because the incident happened in Wushang City, he had the most people calling him in the group and the most times, but he couldn't reply to these @his messages because he didn't know the specific situation.
Last night after three o'clock in the morning, the ghost market ended. Consultant Lin came out of the ghost market and returned to the appraisal institute, bringing him a message, which was the content of the announcement issued by the appraisal institute.
But he didn't know the more specific details, such as how Gao Rui didn't lose the Ghost Merchant Seal, and what Consultant Lin did. He didn't dare to ask if Consultant Lin didn't tell him. He even didn't dare to ask Gao Rui in such detail.
He reported the news to his superiors, and as a result, they issued this announcement.
He also guessed the above idea. No matter how Gao Rui didn't lose the Ghost Merchant Seal, he could just use this opportunity to intimidate other aliens. It could also make some aliens who are still waiting and watching whether to join the appraisal institute make up their minds to join the appraisal institute.
As for whether these aliens will feel deceived and angry in the future, there is no need to worry about this. The organization's ability to influence others is enough to make these aliens feel the warmth of the organization, and even if they are angry, they will not be able to express it.
…
…
Behind the appraisal institute, the single-family villa in the middle.
The little boy was sitting cross-legged on the ground. Lin Ye stood in front of the little boy and waved his right hand. A trace of ghostly yin energy from the ghost girl in the wedding dress floated out, floated to the top of the little boy's head, and slowly penetrated into the little boy's eyes, nose, mouth and ears.
After a while, the little boy's skin turned purple, and then quickly turned red. The two colors kept changing, and the little boy's expression became .
"Come on, hold on and your illness will heal. You won't feel any pain anymore."
Li Datou looked at the little boy's painful expression and cheered him on. He believed that only the little boy could endure this kind of pain by himself and no one else could help him.
The ghost's yin energy is pure yin energy, which is extremely cold when it enters the body, while the little boy himself has a pure yang constitution. The collision of extreme yin and extreme yang is like being in a stove one moment and in a refrigerator dozens of degrees below zero the next.
And this is not an external temperature change, but comes from inside the body. It is difficult for ordinary adults to bear this kind of pain, let alone children.
Lin Ye looked at the pale, shaky face of the little boy and said, "Tongtong, just hold on until you are well again. After you are well again, your parents won't have to spend money on your illness anymore. They won't hide from you and frown anymore."
When the little boy heard Lin Ye's words, his originally shaky body stopped, which surprised Li Datou who was standing beside him.
"Children of this age, who have been weak and sickly since childhood, actually know everything."
Lin Ye explained softly that from the first time they met, the little boy asked him if he could not ask his parents for money for medical treatment. He knew that the little boy was not most concerned about his own illness, but the fact that his parents had spent all the family money to treat him.
Even if the little boy's parents did not look sad in front of him, the little boy could still notice it more or less after so many years.
This is a filial child.
After a while, the skin color of the little boy finally returned to normal. Li Datou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, and sighed: "Finally he made it through. It wasn't so painful when I used the ghost's Yin Qi to treat the disease before, right?"
Listening to what Li Datou said, Lin Ye did not tell Li Datou that even the ghost Yin Qi has different strengths. This is the ghost Yin Qi given by the female ghost in the wedding dress, which is much stronger than the ordinary ghost Yin Qi.
"This little boy has suffered this misfortune, and he will have great success in the future."
Having suffered so much in their childhood, their minds are much more mature than those of ordinary children. Such children will also be more promising when they grow up.
"I plan to take him in as my apprentice."
Lin Ye said this lightly, but Li Datou was stunned after hearing this. Accepting a disciple?
"Advisor Lin, are you going to teach him how to practice?"
"It's not cultivation, it's martial arts training!"
Lin Ye had this idea in his mind long before he treated the little boy.
A pure yang body is the best physique for practicing Lei Yang Po. There is no risk in practicing Lei Yang Po in this world. The most important thing is to absorb this ghostly yin energy. There will be no problem of yin and yang imbalance in practicing Lei Yang Po.
"Martial arts training?"
Li Datou was even more confused. In today's world, martial arts had long disappeared, and all that had been passed down were in the form of performances. As early as the late Republic of China, martial arts had almost been lost.
During the Republic of China, there was once a martial arts master who challenged all the major sects and was invincible in the world. Later, he devoted himself to training for 18 years and believed himself to be the best in the world. Alas, not long after he came down the mountain, he was shot in the leg and became a cripple. He has since disappeared without a trace.
Martial arts have already declined, and even within their circle of extraordinary people, there is discussion that in the next hundred years, spiritual practice will also be like martial arts, gradually declining until it disappears completely.
"It depends on whether he is willing or not."
Lin Ye did not explain too much. He already had a feeling that in the future he might stay in fewer and fewer places in the real world. Bringing some things from other worlds to the real world could be regarded as leaving something for the country.
Of course, the most important thing is that I don’t want to waste my pure yang physique.
After another cup of tea, the little boy opened his eyes.
"I'm willing to learn martial arts!"
The little boy's first words were directed to Lin Ye. He heard everything that Lin Ye and Li Datou said in their conversation.
Just as Lin Ye said, he, who had suffered from illness since childhood, was much more mature than other children of the same age. While other children were growing up happily, he was fighting the illness while thinking about his parents and the whole family.
"This isn't something you can just agree to. Your parents also need to agree."
Lin Ye rubbed Tongtong's head, but he believed that Tongtong's parents would not refuse.
For Tongtong's parents, as long as Tongtong can grow up healthily, they will be very happy. In the eyes of ordinary people, practicing martial arts means strengthening the body.
"Don't worry, I will tell Tongtong's parents that it is a great thing for you to accept a disciple, Consultant Lin. When the ceremony is held, you must invite me to watch."
Li Datou's words made Lin Ye stunned for a moment. Holding a ceremony to accept disciples was something he had never considered before.
"Advisor Lin, this ceremony is essential. This is our traditional rule. Holding this kind of apprenticeship ceremony is not just a formality, but more of a responsibility to the apprentice."
Seeing Lin Ye in a daze, Li Datou thought of Lin Ye's age and then explained something. Then Lin Ye understood that the ancient ceremony of accepting disciples actually contained many hidden truths.
When accepting a disciple, the master will invite friends in the same profession to witness it. This way, the master will definitely do his best to teach the disciple. Otherwise, if the disciple is too bad, the master will lose face and easily be embarrassed in front of his peers. Similarly, under the witness of everyone, the apprentice will have to be filial to the master. Once a teacher, always a father.
This apprenticeship ceremony is actually a mutual guarantee between the master and the apprentice.
…
…
Li Datou took Tongtong back to find his parents first, while Chen Ming accompanied Lin Ye very attentively.
"Advisor Chen, I got some news in the ghost market about Japan..."
Lin Ye informed Chen Ming of the news he got from the female ghost. To be honest, he didn't know what the Japanese were trying to do by doing this, but his intuition told him that it was probably not a good thing.
What is there to photograph in such a deserted village?
"Photographing some of our country's deserted villages and wild mountains, aren't you trying to destroy our Feng Shui?"
Chen Ming put forward his own guess, and Lin Ye shook his head: "Impossible, the places with dragon veins and feng shui are not in desolate villages or wild mountains, but mostly in the mountains."
Lin Ye shook his head. He learned Taoist techniques and also did some research on Feng Shui. The dragon veins of the world come from Kunlun. The main dragon veins are majestic and continuous. Most of them are in the mountains, and they are all in the deep mountains. Those places are rarely visited by people, and they are not deserted villages or wild hills.
"That's strange. If it's not heading for the dragon vein, then what else could it be?"
Chen Ming couldn't think of it, so Lin Ye pondered for a moment and said, "If you can't guess it, then lure the snake out of its hole. Didn't they arrange people to shoot the live broadcast? Let's start with the live broadcast and find the people they arranged."
"Yes, this is a good idea. As expected of you, Consultant Lin. I never thought of it."
Chen Ming slapped his thigh and praised him. Lin Ye's mouth twitched. This flattery was a bit too obvious.
"The ghost market in Wushang City is over now, and it's time for me to go back."
"So soon, Consultant Lin, why don't you stay for a few more days to experience our Wushang culture and specialties? This villa has a Feng Shui formation, Consultant Lin can practice here for a while."
Hearing what Chen Ming said, Lin Ye was also somewhat moved. He did feel that the spiritual energy in the villa was much richer than other places. He did not expect that it was because of the formation.
Just when Lin Ye was thinking about whether to agree or not, his cell phone suddenly rang.
After checking the incoming call number, Lin Ye looked at Chen Ming. Chen Ming immediately understood and said, "I have something else to do. I'll go take care of it first."
Lin Ye pressed the answer button only after Chen Ming walked away. The call was from Chen Xi. Mainly because he was now regarded as a big shot in the eyes of Chen Ming, Li Datou and others. A big shot had to remain aloof, and he could not maintain that image if he answered Chen Xi's call.
"Hello……"
The moment the call was connected, Lin Ye was just about to jokingly ask if she missed him, but before she could finish her words, Chen Xi's sobbing voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Lin Ye, I really couldn't find anyone, so I called you."
After answering Chen Xi's call, Lin Ye's face was ashen and he walked out of the villa directly. Chen Ming was counting ants on the ground outside the villa out of boredom. When he saw Lin Ye coming out, he immediately noticed that Lin Ye's expression was wrong.
"Please arrange a bus for me back to Raocheng, the sooner the better."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Chen Ming didn't ask the reason and immediately went to arrange a car. Lin Ye thought about it and called Zhong Shan again.
