Looking at Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling in front of him, Zhao Mingyuan didn't know whether to say that they were too lucky to find themselves so easily, or whether to say that they were too destined for the Secret of Immortality.
It's not their luck that brought them to him. Do you know that the two of them will benefit from meeting you?
Zhao Mingyuan was indeed a little moved when he heard that the two of them were interested in becoming their disciples.
It's not that he wants to take on a disciple now. After all, the previous half disciple You Tanzhi didn't give him a good impression.
However, Zhao Mingyuan did intend to take in Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling.
This is because Zhao Mingyuan had thought about choosing an emperor before. Now, the Kou Zhong presented to him is the best candidate.
After all, the relationship between master and disciple these days is still extremely close, just like father and son.
Master, Master, as the name suggests, is both a teacher and a father. This says it all.
Even people in the evil sect who deceive their masters and destroy their ancestors have always been looked down upon.
Only the Demon Sect's Huajian Sect was so weird that they had to fight their master when they left. With such sect rules, even if his Huajian sect is lucky enough to have not cut off its inheritance, how can it be carried forward?
Moreover, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are not only amazingly qualified, but also good-natured, and they also pay attention to feelings. As long as you treat them well, they will definitely reciprocate.
Even though the two of them have some weaknesses, if Zhao Mingyuan can teach them carefully and add their luck, they may be able to reverse their destiny and defeat Li Shimin, and even unifying the world may not be impossible.
Thinking of this, Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but be eager to give it a try.
After all, Zhao Mingyuan has learned countless things over the years, but unfortunately most of them are useless.
This made him sometimes wonder whether it was a waste of time to learn so many things. He might as well concentrate on practicing martial arts.
Fortunately, after so many years of study, there are not many aspects that Zhao Mingyuan has not yet dabbled in.
Moreover, if one method can be used, all methods can be used.
Nowadays, even if Zhao Mingyuan comes into contact with a completely new knowledge, he can learn it very quickly, and only then can he persevere.
However, I thought that I could train two geniuses into two almighty people, and then conquer the four directions, unify the world, and change the destiny. Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but feel excited. Want to give it a try?
Huh? No, why did I suddenly want to take on a disciple not long after meeting the two of them? Is this also the influence of luck?
When Zhao Mingyuan thought of this, his expression suddenly changed. Could it be that their luck is so strong that even time-travelers like themselves are not immune and will be affected by it?
Or is it that the world he came to is becoming more and more advanced, and the influence of these mysterious things is getting stronger and stronger.
In short, Zhao Mingyuan became wary.
Maybe Zhao Mingyuan was just fighting against the air, but he would rather be prepared than unprepared.
Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at Zhao Mingyuan in front of them. Sometimes they looked happy, and sometimes they looked surprised and alert. Their expressions kept changing, and their moods were also ups and downs.
After all, it would be a rare opportunity for the two of them to become Zhao Mingyuan's disciple.
If you miss this village, you won’t have this shop.
The two of them did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
However, he did not dare to disturb Zhao Mingyuan's thoughts at this moment. I can only slowly wait for the judgment of fate.
After a while, Zhao Mingyuan came back to his senses and made up his mind.
Seeing that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were still kneeling on the ground, they hurriedly said: "You two, get up. It's not that easy to be my apprentice."
The two people looked sad, but suddenly they were happy.
Although Zhao Mingyuan rejected the two men's apprenticeship, he did not say death.
Obviously, listening to the tone of Zhao Mingyuan's words, he seemed to be hesitant.
Kou Zhong immediately said: "My hero, please make it clear. If there are any requirements or tests for our two brothers, my hero, please just ask."
Xu Ziling also said: "My hero, both of us brothers are people who know how to repay kindness. We will definitely treat you as a father and brother, and we will repay you well."
Zhao Mingyuan saw that although this alley was remote, there was another busy street not far away. People were coming and going, so it was not a place for conversation.
Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan said: "I don't want your curses and oaths, and there is no test. I just want to ask you a simple question, and you just need to answer it truthfully."
Although Zhao Mingyuan said it was a simple question, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling knew that this question was definitely not simple and might be related to their fate.
Immediately, both of them felt nervous and said: "My hero, please ask me!"
Zhao Mingyuan looked at the nervous faces of the two people and said: "Relax, it's not a difficult question, it's very simple. You just need to answer truthfully what you think."
Zhao Mingyuan then said: "Let me ask you, what is your dream? In other words, who do you want to be?"
Kou Zhong blurted out: "I want to be the prime minister, and Ling Shao will become the general."
For a moment, the alley became quiet, and no one spoke anymore. The sound of carriages and horses hawking came from the street not far away and could be heard clearly.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling thought Zhao Mingyuan would laugh at them.
After all, they were just two ordinary gangsters in Yangzhou City.
Although the two usually call themselves the "Double Dragons of Yangzhou", they are determined to stand out and become great people.
However, in fact, the two of them are living like beggars, and they even rely on stealing to survive.
Now, they openly say that they want to be prime ministers and generals.
Normally the two of them would talk about this in private, but now they say it in front of this expert. Isn't it ridiculous?
The two of them couldn't help but look up at Zhao Mingyuan, and saw that although Zhao Mingyuan had a smile on his face, it seemed to be appreciation, interest, but definitely not ridicule.
After listening to Kou Zhong's words, Zhao Mingyuan nodded, looked at Xu Ziling, and said: "His dream has been told, what about yours? Also tell me your real dream? Don't be affected by his dream, speak out what's in your heart The truest thoughts.”
Xu Ziling saw that Kou Zhong had clearly stated that he wanted to be a general, but Zhao Mingyuan insisted on asking him what he thought again, and repeatedly emphasized that he should tell his true thoughts and not be affected by Kou Zhong's words.
With Xu Ziling's cleverness, he quickly understood what Zhao Mingyuan meant. He couldn't help but ponder in his heart, was it really his own idea to become a general, or was it an idea instilled in him by Kou Zhong.
Xu Ziling understood that it had always been Kou Zhong's idea to become prime minister or general.
Of course, neither of them is willing to be a small gangster for the rest of their lives. They both want to get ahead and become high officials. As for whether he is the prime minister or the general, the two of them have no idea about it, and there is no difference in their minds.
In short, the two of them just want to be high-ranking officials and make a fortune, and they don't want to be little gangsters all their lives.
But Zhao Mingyuan repeatedly emphasized that he must tell his true thoughts.
Xu Ziling knew that this issue was crucial and might affect the future fate of the two of them.
If I miss this opportunity, I don’t know if there will be another opportunity.
Xu Ziling couldn't help but feel nervous, thinking carefully about what he wanted in his heart, what was his real idea?
But the more he thought about it, the more nervous he became, and cold sweat broke out on his head.
After all, although Xu Ziling is indeed smart and talented, he is only twelve years old. Faced with something that may affect both of their lives, it is naturally difficult to answer.
Seeing this, Zhao Mingyuan hurriedly said: "Don't be nervous, it's actually nothing.
Just speak your mind.
Dreams are not right or wrong.
No matter what your answer is, it has nothing to do with whether I accept you as my disciple. "
After hearing these words, Xu Ziling's heart suddenly moved, and he gritted his teeth and said: "One generation, two brothers.
Since Kou Zhong wants to be prime minister or general, then I will accompany him.
No matter whether he is trying to get ahead or commit murder or arson, we are brothers who are willing to accompany him through fire and water. "
After hearing this, Kou Zhong was very moved and couldn't help but say: "One generation, two brothers. Whatever Mr. Ling wants to do, I will definitely accompany you."
"Young Master Zhong!"
"Master Ling!"
Watch the two people looking at each other affectionately and passionately. Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help shuddering and took two steps back.
Sure enough, for the two of them, no matter whether it is a country with thousands of miles of land or a beautiful woman, it is secondary. In their hearts, each other is the most important.
The two seemed to think that their answers could not satisfy Zhao Mingyuan, and they had no hope of becoming a disciple. After venting their brotherly feelings, the two stood up on their own.
Zhao Mingyuan said at this time: "Okay, you can take me to your residence."
When the two heard this, they were ecstatic and jumped up with joy.
Then, the two of them knelt down to pay homage to their master, but were stopped by Zhao Mingyuan.
Zhao Mingyuan said: "I haven't decided to accept you two as my disciples. Now I just need a place to stay. Why don't you two lead the way?"
The two of them thought that Zhao Mingyuan might have a somewhat arrogant personality, but of course it might be true. The two of them had only passed the first test, and they didn't know how many tests there would be in the future.
Thinking of this, the two of them led the way with anxiety.
The two of them had just turned around when they heard Zhao Mingyuan behind them let out a long sigh and said, "I hope you two can never forget your original intentions, always remember your answers today, and don't lose yourselves."
Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling listened to Zhao Mingyuan sighing behind them, and they always felt that what he said was meaningful and meant something else.
Although they didn't know what they meant, both of them nodded in agreement and replied: "Thank you, Master, for your guidance."
Zhao Mingyuan said: "Don't call me master, please remember my name. My name is Zhao Mingyuan."
Kou Zhong said with a smile: "Then we can call you Mingshi. Famous teachers produce great disciples. You are a famous teacher, and we are great disciples."
Zhao Mingyuan smiled, but did not refuse.
However, when it came to famous teacher, Zhao Mingyuan thought to himself that he would not insult these two words.
