Chapter 9 Beginning Disciple
Master Chen couldn't help but shook his head.
Fang Yang was certain in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I learned to read at the age of two, and I am familiar with the classics and history, and I have also read some works of doctors and legalists!"
When it comes to his own reading, Fang Yang is very confident.
"What two-year-old reading, it's a joke..."
"Talking about classics and history, this country boy must be crazy, haha..."
"These bumpkins from the mountains are not only smelly, but also dishonest..."
"They actually want to join the White Fan Sect by any means, they really don't know what's good for them!"
"That's right, that's right, a bastard is a bastard!"
A series of cold faces and a series of heart-wrenching words pierced Fang Yang's body like needles.
Master Chen smiled and drew a symbol-like handwriting on the ground with his toes two or three times, and asked: "What is this word?"
Although many of the people present were rich children, they looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw this character.
When Fang Yang saw it, he said without thinking: "This is the word 'qi', which is the ancient 'Western seal' font."
"Oh?!" Chen Zhushi said as if he had found a treasure, "Do you know these characters?"
Fang Yang nodded.
In fact, one of the ancestors of the Fang family was once an editor of the Hanlin Academy, and he had done research on ancient Western seal characters.
So the Fang family knew a little bit, which was considered a family tradition.
"Okay, I will accept you as my disciple!"
As he said this, Chen Zhushi grabbed Fang Yang with his big hand and lifted him up like a chicken, and strode into the White Fan Gate.
Leaving behind Old Man Qi and a bunch of people looking at each other, they didn't react for a long time.
After all, Old Man Qi was an old man in the world, and he understood in his heart that Fang Yang's luck had turned.
At this time, the faces of the people who had just ridiculed and insulted him changed one by one.
A wealthy businessman rushed over to help Old Man Qi and said, "Uncle Qi, you must be tired, get up quickly..."
Several wealthy businessmen even offered to take Old Man Qi home in a carriage.
You know, just now, he was just an old man dumping manure.
But now, Old Man Qi is already the elder of the disciple in charge of the White Gate, and his status is different.
The status of the master in the White Gate is different.
The White Gate has a master with the highest status, and under him are two deputy masters.
Each deputy master has four masters.
Then there are the deacons of each branch hall, and then the inner disciples and the outer disciples, a total of a thousand people.
In addition, there are many outer deacons who are responsible for managing industries, such as fertile fields, money houses, silk shops, restaurants, inns, pawnshops, etc.
Even many officials in the City Lord's Mansion are outer disciples of the White Gate.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the White Gate is extremely powerful in Fengcheng.
At the same time, as a subsidiary of the Qinglong Gang, the White Gate has two functions that must be done.
The first is to provide the Qinglong Gang with precious medicinal materials and refine them into medicines.
The second is to provide the Qinglong Gang with rare birds and animals in the mountains.
Therefore, the White Gate is divided into two branches, the "Changzhen Medicine Hall" and the "Strange Beast Hall" which is mainly for hunting, and they are managed by two deputy masters respectively.
The master only needs to grasp the overall situation.
Chen Zhushi is one of the persons in charge of recruiting disciples this time, and naturally has the right to recruit inner disciples.
He led Fang Yang into the White Gate, and Fang Yang realized that the scale of the White Gate was extremely large, almost occupying most of the entire east of the city.
"He... Ha..." There are still many disciples practicing martial arts on the training ground.
There are also several children aged eleven or twelve practicing sticks, and some deacons are reviewing them.
Obviously, these disciples are also children who want to be admitted to the White Gate this year.
"These are the courses for disciples in the sect. Our Baishan Sect is a subordinate of the Qinglong Gang, a big sect in the martial arts world. You must learn skills well in the future. If I find out that you have lost face and reputation, I will punish you severely!" Chen Zhushi said gloomily.
Fang Yang nodded obediently.
Chen Zhushi was somewhat satisfied to see Fang Yang's calm personality.
"You will be my disciple in the future. If someone in the sect bullies you in the future, just report my name."
"But you should know how many people want to step on the corpses of others to get to the top. In the future, you must be honest in the sect, say what you should say, and do what you should do, otherwise the consequences will be serious. If you dare to cause trouble, I will kill you first!"
"Yes, disciple knows." Fang Yang did not panic in the face of Chen Zhushi's threatening words, but was very calm.
If he was an ordinary mountain boy, he would definitely be overjoyed and carried away by the powerful Baishan Sect Master as a disciple.
Fang Yang has experienced too many life and death trials these days, and he is no longer a naive child in the mountains.
Fang Yang recalled that he knew an ancient seal character, which made Chen Zhushi look at him with a new look. It is estimated that Chen Zhushi wanted to use him because of his ability.
Although Fang Yang was secretly a little wary in his heart, he was still very grateful to Chen Zhushi for kicking away the groom who wanted to dig out his eyes.
After a while, Chen Zhushi came to a courtyard deep in the white fan door.
He said to the young disciple in his early twenties who was in charge here: "This is my new disciple Fang Yang. From now on, I will hand him over to the branch hall under your jurisdiction. You, as a senior brother, must take good care of him."
