I brought a Jurassic

Chapter 93: Showing off one's power and snatching a disciple

"Ah, the master you found for me is an old stubborn man?"

Wang Luozhen didn't care about the gifts. They were trivial matters to him. What he had the most now was money. In the Jurassic cave, not to mention US dollar bills and the like, there were probably hundreds of tons of gold. It had to be said that Xiaobenzi was really good at robbing back then, and now all of them were his.

He has a rather outgoing personality and likes to be free. He had enough of being controlled in his previous life, so he wants to pursue freedom in this life. It would be troublesome if he found a master who was an old stubborn man.

"Why are you such a troublemaker? It's good to be stubborn. It means he is very capable and teaches seriously. He doesn't hold back like others. I finally asked my colleagues in our school to find a master for you. Hurry up, eat quickly and follow me."

Without saying anything, he dragged Wang Luo to their house for breakfast. The other three people at the table stared at him in amazement: "Xiao Luo, how can you eat so much? My goodness, it feels like your appetite today is much larger than in the past few days?"

"I'm still growing, otherwise where would I get so much strength from? Now luckily I can hunt, otherwise the little living expenses my father gave me would starve me to death!"

After finishing the noodles, I took two steamed buns to fill my stomach and felt full.

Wang Luo was not polite. He paid his living expenses when he came to his house for dinner, and he also gave them some of the pork from yesterday. At the beginning, Sha Zhu was still polite, saying that there was no need to be so polite to family members, but he would not do that. If he just took advantage of others, even the best relationship would be strained.

"You are such a glutton! Zhuzi, get more meat from his house later, otherwise we will lose money!"

Liu Yue said jokingly.

"Take as much as you want. If it's not enough, I'll go get more. Anyway, there's no shortage of meat in the mountains. All of it goes into my pot."

"See what you can do!"

After eating and drinking their fill, the three of them, along with Hu Gu, set out to become apprentices (I should clarify that He Yushui was just a companion, and was simply exercising, after all, they generally did not accept female disciples).

We arrived at a house in an alley not far from Zhongshan Park. At the door, a strong man with a short flat head, about 1.8 meters tall, a beard, and wearing cloth shoes was standing there, constantly looking at his watch and waiting.

"Master Liu, I received your notice yesterday afternoon and came to inform Master. Master is waiting in the main hall right now. Many martial arts masters have come to our house to test you. After all, if you really accept me, you will be considered as their last disciple. In addition, you stood Master up last time, which was also a bit of a show of power. Please forgive me for any shortcomings!"

The man just glanced at Wang Luo and He Yushui, then started talking to Liu Yue.

"Master Sun, this is all our fault. I will explain it to Master Guan when we get in."

After saying this, they entered the yard under the guidance of Master Sun.

I looked around the yard and found it was quite large. The flat ground was obviously a martial arts training ground. On both sides of the blue brick ground were placed stone locks, sandbags, wooden dummies, weapon racks and other equipment.

After the martial arts arena, there is the main hall, which has a table and two chairs. In the center is a picture of a tiger descending from the mountain. On both sides are chairs, tables, and matching tea sets. At this moment, all the chairs are full of people, tall, short, fat, thin, and so on. An old man with a beard is sitting on a chair in the middle hall, leisurely drinking tea. Presumably, this is the master that Wang Luo wants to worship.

"Master, Master Liu is here!"

Master Sun entered first, bowed and announced, then immediately stepped aside, revealing Liu Yue, Wang Luo and He Yushui behind him. The originally lively chat scene immediately became silent, and everyone looked towards the door.

"Masters, hello. I am a student of the Three Emperors Cannon Fist. Today, I, Liu Yue, and my younger brother Wang Luo, come to visit Master Guan Ping of Bajiquan. I hope that as fellow martial artists, you will accept my younger brother Wang Luo as your Bajiquan disciple. This is a letter of apprenticeship and a gift. Please forgive me if there is anything wrong!"

Liu Yue clasped his fists to everyone present, and handed the apprenticeship letter and gift to Master Sun, but Master Sun looked at Master Guan in the main hall, shook his head and did not take it.

"Master Liu is polite!"

Since Liu Yue was a guest, Master Guan quickly stood up and bowed to him. The other people present also stood up and saluted.

"Master Liu's reputation is very important, so I shouldn't refute it. But I still have something to ask your brother. Master Liu, please sit down and have some tea. Can you wait for a while?"

Master Guan said to Liu Yue politely that he was trying to show off his power to Wang Luo. It was because he had gone out to hang out a few days ago and stood him up. "Master Guan is the host and I am the guest. I should obey the host's orders. Xiao Luo, answer Master Guan seriously and don't be reckless. Do you understand?"

After giving him a look, she sat in one of the seats at the invitation of Master Sun. As a Royal Cannon Fist, she was quite prestigious. After all, her deceased master had some seniority in the world.

"Kid, tell me why you promised to become my disciple a few days ago but didn't show up and stood me up. You should know that although my Bajiquan school is not that powerful, it still has some prestige in the martial arts world. To learn martial arts, you must first learn morality. Your behavior of not being punctual is very bad. This is called losing morality.

If you don't tell me the truth today, no matter who comes to beg for mercy, my Bajiquan school would rather be lost than accept someone with bad morals like you, humph!"

Master Guan slammed the table heavily, showing that he was quite angry.

"Master Guan, I want to ask you a question. Why do we need to learn martial arts? What is the ultimate goal of learning martial arts? Is it to strengthen our bodies, or to make a name for ourselves in the so-called martial arts world, or even just to be good at fighting?"

Wang Luo was not afraid of any show of power. He stood straight and asked Master Guan questions in a dignified manner.

"You are so brave, kid. You haven't even become my disciple yet, yet you dare to ask me questions. Forget it, I won't bother with you, but you tell me what the ultimate goal of learning martial arts is?"

Master Guan was also curious about what different words could come out of Wang Luo's mouth. In fact, when he saw that Wang Luo was still standing straight when he was showing off his power, without any nervousness or timidity, he already liked him in his heart. This was a very smart child.

"To be chivalrous and to help those in need is certainly the duty of learning martial arts, but this is only the lesser form of chivalry. At most, it can only establish a certain prestige in the martial arts world. In my mind, I agree with what Mr. Liang said in the previous dynasty, that the greatest chivalry is to serve the country and the people. As long as you keep these eight words in mind, you will be famous in the world and become a true chivalrous man respected by all the people. This is the ultimate destination of learning martial arts."

After he finished saying this, everyone present nodded in agreement. Master Guan also stroked his beard and nodded in approval. They, the warriors, had made great contributions on the battlefield in the past. Many of their disciples even sacrificed their lives for it. Even now, many of their disciples are still in the army, contributing to the country.

"Hahaha, the great hero serves his country and his people. That's right. I'm a martial artist and I should keep those words in mind. But no matter how beautiful the words are, they're just empty talk. You haven't told me why you stood me up yet?"

Master Guan continued to ask.

"It is not my intention to stand you up. I also plan to meet you as soon as possible, become your disciple, and learn your skills. But now there is a severe drought in the world, and fellow villagers from other provinces have flocked to the capital to beg for food. Although I am young, I am kind-hearted and cannot bear to see these fellow villagers starving. It just so happens that I have the ability to hunt, so I thought of exchanging some money and food for this to do my little bit of help.

On the way to hunting, I encountered a tiger. It was gathering not far from the village. I was afraid that it would hurt innocent people, so I wanted to kill it to get rid of this harm to the people. However, when I used firearms, I startled it and it ran away. I had no choice but to delay coming to worship you as my teacher. I chased it for several days and finally killed it near Shanhaiguan.

Master Guan, do you think that my killing of the tiger to prevent it from bringing hidden dangers to the people is a chivalrous act of serving the people? In fact, I also want to serve the country, but I can't do it now with my ability, so I can only hope for the future. "

Before Master Guan opened his mouth after Wang Luo finished speaking, an old man who was about the same age as him spoke up: "Hehehe, Master Guan, I think this kid is a cunning man with a smooth tongue, and he also stood you up. I would never accept such a person as my apprentice. Why don't you give him to me and I will discipline him for you?"

"Master Zhang, your Baguazhang is not good enough, how about our Tongbeiquan? I think this kid should learn Tongbeiquan from me!"

"Your Tongbeiquan is not good enough. How can it catch up with our Baguazhang?"

"Hey, brothers, stop arguing. Why don't you let him learn Changquan from me? My Changquan is also pretty good."

"Get out of here, you're everywhere!"

. . . . . . .

Suddenly the whole hall became a mess. The masters who had been pretending to be so serious just now began to compete to be Wang Luo's master like little children. They had seen him from a distance yesterday but didn't see him clearly. After all, there were too many people, and they didn't bother to squeeze with ordinary people, so it was normal that they didn't recognize Wang Luo.

However, they didn't expect that the so-called tiger-fighting hero would come to their doorstep today, and he could kill a tiger with his bare hands. They thought they couldn't beat him, so who wouldn't want to accept him as a disciple? It was a matter of face. They would take him with them when they went out and show off to everyone they met, "Look, I'm your last disciple, who can kill a tiger with my bare hands." Their status would rise immediately.

"You old shameless people, are you going to stop? Who said I didn't accept him as my apprentice? I just wanted to test him. Besides, Master Liu specifically asked me to be his master. This means my parents have agreed. You can do whatever you want!"

Master Guan hurried out to stop his quarreling old friends. If he had been any later, the disciple who could kill a tiger with his bare hands might have run away.
