Chapter 31 Three Conditions
After the old Taoist drank the tea I offered, I was considered his first disciple.
But this veteran didn't rush to tell me about my abilities at first. Instead, he asked Huzi to let me go through the formalities at a nearby elementary school so that I could continue to go to school.
I didn’t know how powerful that old Taoist was, but he sent me to a key primary school.
I was not good at studying before, not to mention that this is a key elementary school, but now it has seriously hindered the class. My academic performance is still very stable as always, and I have never finished second to last in the exam.
I thought I wouldn't have to go to school if I followed this old man, but it seems I was overthinking it.
Not only did I have to continue going to school, but the old master also deprived me of my spare time, which was simply inhumane.
I went to school during the day and when I came back at night, the old Taoist began to teach me some things about Feng Shui metaphysics.
It's strange to say that although I wasn't very good at school, I was very interested in the things my master taught me, and I could understand them almost instantly. This may be what Huzi calls talent.
Although my master didn't pay much attention to my study and almost ignored me, he was very strict about the Feng Shui metaphysics he taught me. If I made any mistakes, I would be punished.
It was a real spanking, very cruel, and it made my butt blossom every time.
So I dare not slack off at all about the things he taught me.
As I grew up little by little, the old Taoist taught me more and more things, from simple to complex, and became more and more difficult.
I have dabbled in the Book of Changes, Bagua, Qimen Dunjia, Numbering Plum Blossoms, River Pictures and Luoshu, and the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth... I have dabbled in them all.
In addition, the old Taoist would also teach me some boxing and kicking skills, and sometimes he would also teach me some Chinese medicine techniques on how to treat illnesses and save people.
I haven't fallen behind at all in the five channels of Taoism, mountains, medicine, fortune, fortune telling, and divination.
In addition to going to school every day, I also practice with Master. I was not used to this kind of life at first, but gradually I became numb.
But one thing, I have to say, since I moved into Master’s courtyard house, many people come to visit me almost every day, all begging my Master to take action, but for most of these people, Master will let Hu
The son drove them away.
Only occasionally, Master will go out for a few days. I don't know what he is doing, but those few days when he is away are when I am most relaxed. Only then can I be lazy and relax occasionally.
From the day I was born, I was destined to have many catastrophes in my life, one every three years.
But since I became a disciple of Master, I have never experienced any major tribulation. The three-year tribulation like a curse seemed to have disappeared.
Later, I discovered a pattern. Every three years, that is, when I experienced a great tribulation, Master would go out for a few days, but every time he came back, he would look very weak and pale.
As soon as he comes back, he will lock himself in the room alone and not go out for a few days. When he comes out again, he will be back to his previous appearance and still in good spirits.
In the blink of an eye, eight years have passed, and I have gone from a key elementary school to a key high school.
Of course, it wasn't because I studied well that I was admitted to a key middle school, and I don't know what method my master used to get me in.
As far as the elementary school, junior high school and high school I went to, many local students struggled to get in. The elementary school was better, but the junior high school and high school were really difficult to get in.
I don’t understand why Master sent me to such a good school when I’m already studying like this. It’s simply a waste.
Although after I entered middle school, my grades were slightly better than before, but they were still very average. I definitely had no hope of getting into college, but my master didn't plan to let me go to college.
Eight years have passed. When I graduated from high school, I didn’t even take the college entrance examination and gave up directly. This was also Master’s intention.
Even if I take the exam, there is no hope.
Just the year after I graduated from high school, my master suddenly and solemnly told me that he was going on a long trip and might not come back until a year later. This year, Huzi and I would just stay at home.
In addition, Master also told me another very important thing. He said that I had studied with him for eight years and learned a lot, and I was ready to become a teacher.
After he leaves, if someone comes to find him, he can come forward to solve the problem and charge a certain fee.
As for how much to charge, our industry does not have specific standards. It mainly depends on how much the other party can give.
But Master left me three conditions.
As soon as this condition was stated, I collapsed on the spot.
I almost wanted to roll up my sleeves and have a fight with the old man.
Especially the first condition, after I heard it, I severed the master-disciple relationship with him on the spot.
The old man said: "The first condition is that in the year I leave, you must earn 10 million for my teacher and transfer it to the bank card I left for you."
"The second condition is that you can't do anything else to make a living after you enter the profession. You can only make a living by relying on the Feng Shui metaphysics you have learned. If you let me know that you make money in other ways, I will come back and break your legs.
"
"The third condition, and the most important one, is that your first business cannot be in Yanbei City, no matter where it is, but you cannot accept business in Yanbei."
After hearing these three conditions, not only me, but also the tigers on the side gnashed their teeth.
Especially that ten million, to me, it is simply an astronomical figure. Since I became this old man's apprentice, let alone ten million, I have never even seen what one thousand yuan looks like.
"Master, are you kidding me about that 10 million?" I said a little depressed.
"Do you think I'm joking with you? Even if it's 10 million, it doesn't matter if I miss one word. Otherwise, I'll break your legs when you come back." The master said with a cold face.
"Master, please don't just break my legs. Even if I rob a bank, I can't get you ten million a year." I was about to cry but had no tears.
"I don't care about this as a teacher, but you must do it." The old man looked absent-minded, picking his nose with one hand and touching his feet with the other.
Looking at this old man's arrogance, if it weren't for the fact that he is my master, I would really want to go up and beat him up.
The old man popped out a big lump of boogers, wiped his hands on the soles of his shoes, and said, "Okay, I'm leaving as my master. I'll see you again in a year. Remember the conditions I told you, and don't miss any of them."
I looked at his beaten back and thought to myself that it would be best not to see the master who deceived his apprentice like this.
