three hundred and ninety three, apprenticeship(1/2)
After Toyotomi settled down, he took out the psychic jade and contacted Xu Fanying, the president of the Changchun Society.
Xu Fanying was sitting in the Huanggong Hall. After receiving the message from Toyotomi Shou, Xu Fanying read it slowly. After reading it many times, Xu Fanying naturally saw the name Gu Yucheng.
"Gu Yucheng?...Gu Yucheng. Unheard name..." Xu Fanying tapped the token "Jianlan" on her waist with the tip of her little finger, and then ordered Toyotomi Shou, "Stay in the Beggar Clan and observe this Gu Yucheng carefully.
When you have time, knock on Zhang Shouhong and ask him to come as soon as possible."
Toyotomi Sleeve responded quickly.
In the middle of the night, Gu Yucheng came over and heard three knocks on the door, so he quickly got up and opened the door.
I saw a thin woman standing in front of the door.
Although the woman is thin, she is like a green willow in midsummer, with endless vitality flowing around her.
The woman looked at Gu Yucheng coldly and said to herself, "The moon is like clouds, and the fog covers all directions."
Gu Yucheng didn't understand what was going on, so the woman turned around and ran forward.
Seeing this, Gu Yucheng quickly followed.
The woman was not slow and seemed to want to get rid of Gu Yucheng. Gu Yucheng could only keep track of the woman's whereabouts.
Finally, when Gu Yucheng was exhausted, the woman listened in front of a mound.
Then he said coldly, "Go straight." After saying that, he raised his legs and left.
After hearing this, Gu Yucheng had no choice but to move forward.
Gu Yucheng moved forward aimlessly. At this time, the ancient spiritual power had not yet recovered, so Gu Yucheng was extremely cautious in every step he took.
When Gu Yucheng walked through the mound, he felt uncomfortable for no reason. Then the scene in front of him slowly changed. The entire barren land became green, and finally a forest grew out of the flat ground.
Zhang Shouhong walked out of the winding path in the forest and looked at the extremely surprised Gu Yucheng with a smile.
Gu Yucheng pointed at the entire forest, "This? This..."
Zhang Shouhong smiled, "Ningding opens up a field and expands a small world for itself. It is normal for some simple scenes to evolve in this world."
Gu Yucheng was speechless.
Zhang Shouhong smiled upon seeing this and waved to Gu Yucheng to come to him.
When Gu Yucheng came to Zhang Shouhong, Zhang Shouhong said directly, "I'll teach you the etiquette of apprenticeship first. A simple apprenticeship ceremony will be held tomorrow. All uncles and masters will be there, and all the disciples will be present. You can't make any mistakes in front of them.
"
When Gu Yucheng heard this, he quickly pricked up his ears and listened.
Zhang Shouhong then stated, "To become a disciple, you must have a guide. The Beggar Gang calls them guides. Tomorrow Elder Yin of Wuzhilou will be your guide. Then you can follow him..."
Gu Yucheng listened carefully for half the night, and it was not until dawn that Zhang Shouhong was satisfied and let Gu Yucheng leave to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony.
The next day, Toyotomi Sode was awakened very early by a gentle knock on the door. He opened the door and found a disciple standing in front of him, "Sir, today is the day for Senior Brother Gu to become a disciple. I specially invite you to be here."
Toyotomi was stunned, "Then Gu Yucheng hasn't joined the Beggar Clan yet?" - If he hasn't joined the Beggar Clan yet, then the competition with the Gongyu Society should be cancelled.
The disciple replied, neither humble nor arrogant, "That's not the case. Senior Brother Gu is the disciple who is personally accepted by the gang leader. The apprenticeship ceremony can only be held when everyone in the building is present and has completed the civil and military affairs. Otherwise, it will not be in compliance with the rules."
When Toyotomi heard this, he didn't like it, but he knew it was right.
If Gu Yucheng wanted to become a disciple of Zhang Shouhong, he would naturally have to be present in the presence of all the senior officials of the Beggar Clan. Before that, he was under investigation and was regarded as a registered disciple.
What's more, the registered disciples are also disciples of the Beggar Clan.
Toyotomi Shou didn't know that Zhang Shouhong, who was originally going to test Gu Yucheng, canceled the test because of the competition with Gongyuhui.
This is probably the only good thing Gongyuhui did on this trip.
Toyotomi Shou followed his disciples to the place where all the disciples gathered.
As soon as Toyotomi arrived, Zhang Shouhong shouted, "Today Zhang's ancestor Yin Quanwen accepted his disciples! Please bear witness with the mountains, rivers, sun and moon! Mountains, rivers, lakes and seas accommodate me, and the world has been a beggar since ancient times!"

As soon as Zhang Shouhong finished speaking, Da Qi led the people to cheer.
If one person takes the lead, others will follow; if there are many followers, everyone will cheer.
Who will notice who is not cheering?
In short, the cheers are getting louder and louder.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, the stern-faced Gu Ni, the master of Yuezhang Hall, Qin Motuo, the smiling master of Wuzhidou Building, and Mr. Wenwu all looked at one person.
It was none other than the leader, Yin Zengdao, the elder of Wuzhidou.
Yin Zengdao is a direct descendant of Yin Quanwen, the founder of the Beggar Clan inside and outside.
As soon as Yin Zengdao came out, the legitimacy of Gu Yucheng's identity was mostly confirmed.
At least it is certain that Gu Yucheng's identity is recognized by many high-level officials.
Yin Zengdao came to Gu Yucheng.
At this moment, Gu Yucheng had already put on special clothes.
Although the clothes are simple, they are neat.
In addition to being neat and tidy, Gu Yucheng's clothes also had five patches.
Patches are placed on the front and back of the chest, on the left and right sides of the shoulders and on the skirt.
And these five patches still have words sewn on them.
The lower part of the chest represents righteousness, the upper part of the back represents propriety, the left shoulder represents wisdom, the right shoulder represents faith, and the top of the chest represents benevolence.
Benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust!
When Gu Yucheng put on this dress, he deeply realized what inheritance is.
Sure enough, any civilization with foundation cannot be without inheritance...
Yin Zengdao shouted, "Gu Yucheng! Do you know the meaning of the existence of five patches?!"
Zhang Shouhong had given these instructions last night, and Gu Yucheng quickly followed the memory and shouted, "Righteousness is in the chest and abdomen, etiquette is always carried behind, the left arm helps the right arm, wisdom helps sincerity! The four directions are settled, benevolence is in the heart!"
After Gu Yucheng answered, Zhang Shouhong and others looked at each other and nodded.
Yin Zengdao then shouted, "Okay! You can go and worship your ancestors!"
So Qin Lao took the lead, followed closely by Zhang Shouhong, Mr. Wenwu and Gu Ni.
Yin Zengdao followed behind these people, and Gu Yucheng followed Yin Zengdao.
Then it was Toyotomi Sode's turn.
Behind Toyotomi, seven bags of rice moved forward, followed by six bags of rice, followed by five, four, three and two.
Disciples who only have a bag of rice must stay in the Beggar Clan.
Soon, everyone arrived at a mountain front on the border of the Demon Kingdom.
And this mountain is actually a double-peaked mountain. One peak is within the territory of the Demon Kingdom, and the other is outside the country.
This mountain is also called Tuofeng Ridge.
Everyone entered the mountain.
Zhang Shouhong and others were still moving forward, and Yin Zengdao was also moving forward. However, Toyotomi Shou was stopped.
Toyotomi frowned slightly, "The small gang has a simple ceremony, and the conference has a grand ceremony. All gangs in the Changchun Association, except the Changchun Association, are not allowed to hold big ceremonies. This is hierarchy.
Now that I am stopped here, what does Zhang Shouhong want to do? What kind of ceremony does the Beggar Clan want to hold?"
An elder with seven bags of rice replied, "Master Envoy, you know the background of the Beggar Clan inside and outside. There is no banquet before the apprenticeship, the leader only asks one question, and the gang leader only invites disciples from his own gang. This is already very bad."
Simple.
However, any etiquette can be omitted, but when meeting the ancestors of all generations, no trace of etiquette can be omitted."
Toyotomi Sode fell into silence, saying nothing, but also stopped.
Gu Yucheng was led to the top of the mountain and came to a Taoist-style building.
Gu Yucheng knew that this was the place where the memorial tablets of past leaders of the Beggar Clan were erected.
Even this mountain is privately owned by the beggars inside and outside.
At this time, Mr. Wenwu came to the building, and Gu Yucheng calmly walked to Mr. Wenwu.
Mr. Wu grabbed it suddenly, took out a wooden stick, and after imbued with spiritual power, he swept it towards Gu Yucheng with the force of thunder.
Gu Yucheng could feel that if the stick touched his body, he would probably smash his bones into ashes on the spot.
However, Gu Yucheng couldn't hide.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The stick was like thunder, swinging in the wind, sweeping to the bridge of Gu Yucheng's nose, and stopped steadily.
Mr. Wu put away his stick and poked Gu Yucheng's legs as hard as possible with the stick. Seeing that he was holding firm, he shouted, "You have great courage. You are worthy of my help, ancestors!"
At this time, Gu Yucheng was allowed to walk between Mr. Wen and Wu.
