Chapter 17
Chen Jinnan pondered for a moment, glanced at the two of them and said, "Do you want to worship me as your teacher and enter my heaven and earth meeting?"
He asked a question after careful consideration, not just for the sake of Shen Yi's martial arts talent.
First of all, Chen Yi and Wei Xiaobao's identities are a celebrity around Geng Jingzhong, the prince of Jingnan, and the other is a close servant around Emperor Kangxi. These are definitely a great help to the great anti-Qing cause of the Tiandihui!
Secondly, the people of Qingmutang collectively vowed to take the person who avenged Yin Xiangzhu as the new Xiangzhu, but it was difficult for everyone to betray the oath.
But if Chen Yi or Wei Xiaobao really wants to serve as the master of incense, both of them are too young and are afraid they will not be able to convince the public. If they take them as disciples, they will definitely do their best to assist them, whether they are in the hall or in the association.
In short, this is the best solution that Chen Jinnan can think of now.
"Don't rush to reply, you two need to consider this matter carefully. If you become a brother in the association, you need to put your own life lightly and the great cause of anti-Qing is the priority. At the same time, the association is strict with strict rules, with 36 oaths and strict rules of ten prohibitions and ten punishments..."
Before Chen Jinnan could answer the two of them, he spoke again and explained the purpose and rules of the Tiandihui Society to them.
"You are still young and can't use these rules. But one of them is, 'All my brothers must be faithful and not be cheated by lies'. This one must not be violated!"
Wei Xiaobao is slick and often talks nonsense. When he heard this, he was stunned and said, "I naturally don't dare to lie to the headmaster. But do I tell the truth to other brothers in everything?"
Chen Jinnan shook his head and smiled: "Don't bother with small things, only with big things."
Wei Xiaobao asked again: "It's like gambling with the brothers in the meeting. Can you cheat me if you use any means?"
This is a bit funny, but most of the heroes in the world are grassroots heroes, and they are most addicted to alcohol and gambling. So Chen Jinnan didn't think it was a pestle after hearing this, but instead smiled and said, "This is okay. But if you deceived them, they know that they want to beat you, I won't care!"
"With the big brother protecting me, who can beat me?" Wei Xiaobao immediately grabbed Chen Yi's arm.
Chen Yi glared at him: "You have to cheat even if you gamble. You deserve to be beaten, so I won't care about you!"
After the words came, he stood up and knelt solemnly in front of Chen Jinnan, saying in a deep voice: "My disciple has been wandering alone for many years. Seeing that the Tartars oppressed us Han people everywhere, he already vowed to overthrow the Qing court, and it is not in line with the purpose of our Heaven and Earth Association! Now he is willing to join the disciples of his mentor, serve the people from now on, and never betray them!"
After saying that, he kowtowed three times.
Seeing that he was calm and decent, and his words were sincere and sincere, Chen Jinnan nodded with relief.
"Oh, brother, you are so cunning. I'll pay homage to Master first, and I'll be the senior brother!"
Wei Xiaobao turned off the seat, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and worshiped Chen Jinnan as his teacher.
Chen Jinnan laughed and said, "Okay! OK! OK! Get up!"
Then he said, "My surname is Chen, and my name is Jinnan. The three words "Chen Jinnan" are used in the world. Since you have become a teacher today, you must know the true name of the teacher. My real name is Chen Yonghua, eternal eternity, the flower of China."
When talking about his real name, he lowered his voice.
Chen Yi and Wei Xiaobao said in unison: "The disciple keeps it in mind and dare not leak it."
Chen Jinnan looked at Wei Xiaobao for a while before saying slowly: "Xiaobao, you and I are masters and apprentices, and I will never hide it. To be honest, you are sloppy, cunning and deceitful, and are very disagreeable with your master's personality. I really don't like it. The reason why you accept you as your apprentice is actually for the sake of the big things of this association."
Wei Xiaobao hurriedly said respectfully: "I will make good changes in the future."
Chen Jinnan shook his head and said, "The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. But in the future, you must be careful in your words and actions, and do not be unrighteous in your mind and do evil. If you violate the rules, you will never be sympathetic to your teacher."
As he said that, he stretched out his left hand and grabbed a piece of the corner of the table. He rubbed his hands a few times, and it turned into wood chips and fell down one after another.
Before Wei Xiaobao could reply, Chen Jinnan looked at Chen Yi again: "Yi'er, you are your senior brother. As a teacher, you will be more steadily. In the future, you must not only take good care of your junior brother, but also strictly supervise him. Don't let him do anything wrong. Otherwise, you will suffer the same mistakes!"
Chen Yi hurriedly bowed: "Master, don't worry, I will fulfill my responsibilities as a senior brother. Moreover, although Xiaobao is a bit naughty, he is very loyal by nature. Otherwise, his disciple would not have met him by chance and became a close friend."
Wei Xiaobao was very helpful and said hurriedly: "Master, don't worry, senior brother has saved my life several times. If he disciplines me, I will definitely be obedient. Of course, I will listen to Master's words even more!"
"It's great. I'm just talking ugly words ahead, for fear that you will make mistakes."
Seeing that the two brothers were friendly and respectful, Chen Jinnan felt very relieved and couldn't help but smile.
Then he stood up, walked towards the door, and said, "Come with me."
The two followed him and came to the hall.
There were about twenty people sitting in the hall, but when they saw the headmaster coming in, they immediately stood solemnly.
Chen Jinnan nodded and walked to the second chair in the upper head to sit down.
Chen Yi knew the original work well and knew that the first chair was left for the late "King of Guo" Zheng Chenggong. The two came obediently behind Chen Jinnan and stood on the left and right sides.
Chen Jinnan sat down and said, "Brothers, I have accepted two young disciples today."
As he said that, he pointed at the two of them and said, "It's them!"
Everyone immediately bowed and said, "Congratulations to the headmaster."
He bowed to Chen Yi again, and all of them congratulated him.
Chen Jinnan ordered the two: "Go to meet all the uncles and uncles."
The two went to greet everyone one by one, and Li Lishi introduced the nine incense masters next to him.
After everyone had met, Chen Jinnan said, "Brothers, after I accepted this little disciple, I want him to enter my heaven and earth meeting."
Everyone said in unison: "That would be better."
Chen Jinnan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he swept everyone's faces before continuing: "I heard that the brothers of Aoki Tang had a dispute over the matter of Lixiang. Although they did not hurt the harmony, this matter still needs to be properly concluded, otherwise there will always be a huge hidden worry."
Everyone nodded when they heard this. Li Lishi, Guan Anji and others who had previously argued about this were a little ashamed.
"Akimutang manages Jiangnan and all prefectures and counties in Jiangbei. In recent years, it has gradually expanded to Shandong and Hebei, and this time it has even entered the city of Beijing. The candidate for the Akimutang incense master is really important."
Chen Jinnan's voice was neither fast nor slow, calm and powerful.
"I also heard about the Aoki cousins who swore oath in front of Yin Xiangzhu's mourning hall. This time, the traitor of Oboi was killed by the little disciples Chen Yi and Wei Xiaobao, right?"
Li Lishi and Guan Anji said in unison: "That's right."
