In ancient times, a master adopted a disciple, and the disciple lived in the master's home. The master paid for his education and treated the disciple as a family member. Based on this concept of ethics and morality, there is a conflict between master and disciple. After mastering the skills and becoming a master, the "three festivals and two lifespans" will go to visit the master as usual. This is not only etiquette, but also cultural inheritance.
Later, due to historical reasons, the master-student relationship turned into a teacher-student relationship.
There is first of all a consumption relationship between teachers and students. Parents pay tuition and are consumers.
Modern students don't want to understand the old values of respecting teachers. There is a phenomenon of masters and apprentices turning against each other, forgetting the benefits, breaking promises, and there are too many bastards inserting knives in the back.
Lu Cheng is a celestial witch who has mastered many kinds of spells. If he accepts the other party as his disciple, he will completely take the initiative.
There is a set of "admonition mantras" for the "master-disciple" relationship. As long as you call "Master", it is like swearing a "Witch Servant Oath". It will be restricted by heaven and earth, and you can't escape even if you want to!
For example, Sun Wukong in Journey to the West could get rid of the curse, but because he worshiped his master, he was eaten to death by Tang Monk. The Tightening Curse is a kind of "admonition curse", and it can also be regarded as Sun Wukong's inner demon.
Lu Cheng drank Ling Shiqi's tea and heard him call "Master" and thought to himself: "It's done! This kid can't escape! If he dares to bully my girl in the future, I don't need to take action. I can just recite the spell." I can take care of him. Moreover, I can also pass the 'Dissuade Spell' to my daughter, haha!"
Of course, these are just what he said in his heart. He would not say it to Ling Shiqi's face. Once he said it, it would become a threat, which would be bad.
Later, Lu Cheng found a set of "Yin Qi's" mental methods and passed them on to Ling Shiqiu.
The Yinqi clan is an ancient clan, related to the Shennong clan and Emperor Yao. It once produced the Witch King and the Wu King.
Ling Shizhen stayed in Qiucheng Garden for 5 days. Lu Cheng personally taught him the exercises in the morning and evening. He not only practiced witchcraft, but also practiced fists and kicks.
During this period, Lu Qingyan treated him kindly, which was different from the past.
Ling Shizhen is also a smart person. He became a "first-level professor" at the age of only 26. How can he be a fool? He knew clearly in his heart that he would give him papaya and repay him with Qiong Yao.
Five days later, Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun left Qiucheng Garden.
They went to Hangzhou. While touring the beautiful scenery of West Lake, they found a construction company and asked them to help them get land to build a garden.
There is heaven, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou. Hangzhou is a place where land is at a premium, and land prices are even more expensive than in Suzhou.
No matter how rich Lu Cheng was, it would be difficult for him to occupy a large amount of land. Only a small garden can be built. He took out the architectural drawings of "Qiucheng Garden" and gave them to the construction company, asking them to build according to them.
This garden is mainly reserved for children, because Mei Lingshang is from Hangzhou, and Ling Shiqi is a professor at Zhejiang University. There is a beautiful garden, and the Lu family will have a place to stay here in the future.
On October 12, Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun dressed in simple clothes and hosted a banquet for Li Man and Mei Hongyu at the "Lou Wai Lou".
Four people were sitting in the box. Mei Hongyu looked normal and Li Man looked slightly nervous.
Mei Hongyu is an engineer at Ant and has a high degree of education. Although he works hard, he has seen the world and is not speechless in front of Lu Cheng.
Li Man didn't know the other party's intention, and caring about him would make him confused, so he seemed a little nervous.
Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said: "We, the couple, are here to meet you two and want to talk about the children. Mei Lingshang is both my apprentice and my favorite daughter-in-law. I hope that the Mei and Lu families will become in-laws one day." , Lingshang can marry into the Lu family."
Hearing this, Li Man breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's it. It depends on the children's wishes. If they love each other, as parents, it's too late for us to like each other, so how can we stop them?"
Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said: "We are in a hurry to meet to express our sincerity and put your mind at ease. We came here quietly and did not let the children know. They are still young and cannot have too much pressure. It is best to let everything take its course."
Mei Hongyu said: "Mrs. Lu, if you have anything to say, please speak frankly. To be honest, I only knew that my daughter likes Qingshan after watching the TV broadcast of the Lanke Cup. I still have some concerns about letting her marry into the Lu family. concern."
Jiang Qiuyun said: "This is exactly what we came for. We only have one son, Qingshan, and we are very cautious about his marriage. We will never make random arrangements on a whim. The Lu family is small, and there are only a few people in the family, let alone a big one. The family is inferior to an ordinary family. If Lingshang marries into the Lu family, I will treat her as my own daughter and will not let her suffer any injustice."
Li Man said: "That's good! That makes me feel relieved."
Lu Cheng smiled and said: "Let me introduce you to the Lu family. The Lu family is a wealthy family in name, but in fact it is a cultivation family. To me, wealth is an external possession, like a passing cloud. What Qiu Yun and I pursue is Immortality, do you believe there is such a thing as immortality?”
Mei Hongyu shook his head: "To be honest, I don't really believe it."
Lu Cheng said: "Mr. Mei, I am five or six years older than you. People of our age are taught dialectical materialism in school, which requires seeking truth from facts and not engaging in feudal superstition. So most people don't believe it. , human beings still have hope of immortality. But since the revival of spiritual energy, this kind of thing has gradually moved from legend to reality.
You are not cultivators and do not understand the current situation in the domestic cultivation world. According to statistics from the National Security Bureau this summer, there are millions of people in China who have crossed the threshold of monks and can feel spiritual energy.
Among them, many people pursue the superpower of flying into the sky and escaping from the earth, while some people pursue immortality.
The longevity mentioned here means breaking through 120 years old and extending life span to 500 years old, 1000 years old, or even longer. "
Mei Hongyu frowned: "Mr. Lu, do you think this is true?"
"Since the resurgence of spiritual energy, many miracles have been born. Qiuyun and I were originally ordinary people. How did we achieve what we have today? My two children have become handsome men of the younger generation, including your daughter. Because of cultivation, With great effort, he became a top-notch chess player in the country in just a few years. This is obviously a miracle, right?"
"Yes, we are very surprised by the changes that have happened to Lingshang since becoming a disciple."
"The pursuit of immortality is the same. If Lingshang marries into the Lu family and has a status as a link between the past and the past, and has children with Qingshan, if he can live over three thousand years old and build a big family that lasts for dozens of generations, it will be similar to Aren’t families like Confucius and Zhang Tianshi very attractive?”
Mei Hongyu and Li Man looked at each other and thought: "Why do super rich people even think about such things? They can only live a hundred years, so what do they want to do so far? Do they want to learn from Qin Shihuang? Let the Lu family's wealth last for eternity? However, according to him That means my daughter’s status will be too high in the future!”
Lu Cheng said: "I think Mr. Mei has a hidden illness. I'll bring you a bottle of pills. You can take one pill every week. After three pills, you will feel relieved. I also have a bottle of beauty pills. Give it to Ms. Li, it can regulate the functions of the five internal organs. These elixirs are all produced by 'Xianshentang', which is a famous elixir store."
He took out two bottles of elixirs and handed them to Mei Hongyu and Li Man respectively.
Li Man looked at the anti-counterfeiting label of "Xianshentang" on the outside of the bottle and said, "It cost you money. I heard that Xianshentang's medicine is very expensive and the effect is miraculous."
Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said: "Today is just the first meeting. When we get engaged in the future, we will not be short of any betrothal gift."
Li Man asked: "How many days can you stay in Hangzhou?"
Jiang Qiuyun said: "I can't stay for a few days and will leave soon. I told Lingshang that after you retire, you can move to Qinghai Lake to live. The spiritual energy there is richer and living there can prolong your life. Although Hangzhou It’s a nice place, but the population density is too high and there’s too much stale breath.”
"Thank you for the invitation. We'll talk about it in a few years." Mei Hongyu doesn't want to retire yet.
