Chapter 145 Learning to Decipher the Cangtian Yangyuan
"Brother Zhou, someone is looking for you at the door!"

Zhou You was teaching the introductory Tiger Subduing Fist, and a group of freshmen were looking at him with admiration in their eyes.

Suddenly, an apprentice came to report that someone was waiting for him at the entrance of the martial arts gym.

When I went out, I saw Pan Jinshan's burly figure standing in the shade on the side of the street. He turned around when he heard the footsteps.

"Zhou You, my master has returned from visiting a friend and asked me to invite you to his house."

The hometown he mentioned was Mr. Zeng, a famous literary master in Gongliang City.

It is said that the greatest lifelong wish of the older generations of the two great families was to ask Master Zeng to write their epitaphs.

Zhou You thought that this old man was very generous, as he returned home only after so many days had passed since the flower thief died.

"Then go!"

Mr. Zeng studied literature and had no particular interest in the martial arts school, so it would not be a big problem for him to pay it a visit.

Besides, the eldest daughter Wang Yan has a good relationship with Miss Zeng.

The two of them were extremely fast and arrived at Zeng's residence in the blink of an eye...

Pan Jinshan was still sighing, "You are too fast. You broke through the Qi and Blood barrier in a blink of an eye."

"If you had been one step ahead, you would have killed the flower thief long ago. How could Lu Zhigang steal the limelight?"

Zhou You waved his hands modestly, "We can't compare. His poison palm is too powerful."

As they were talking, they had already entered the main door and arrived at the main hall where guests were received.

In the past, when Zhou You visited, he would always sit in the open room, but this time it was very different, as he could go into the house.

The maid Dujuan brought a cup of tea, not the usual large bowl, but a set of three-dimensional covered bowl.

The Sancai covered bowl consists of three parts: a cup holder, a tea bowl and a bowl lid, symbolizing the three talents of heaven, earth and man. It has always been a favorite tea drinking utensil of literati and poets.

This time when he came, we treated him as a serious guest.

"My master is here."

Dujuan put away the tea tray and reminded Zhou You in a low voice.

Zhou You looked up and saw an old man walking out with a smile on his face. He looked familiar no matter how he looked at him.

Well, I met him once in Changfang and even commented on the quality of the calligraphy and paintings on the wall with him!

He is Master Zeng. Oops, Zhou You said to his face that his calligraphy and painting skills are too poor and he spoke without restraint.

"Young hero, Zhou You, you saved the lives of the women in my Fu Mansion last time. I would like to thank you very much."

Mr. Zeng had no resentment on his face, and seemed to have completely forgotten what happened.

"It's just a little effort."

Zhou You said enthusiastically.

A fragrant breeze blew towards me, and it was Miss Zeng who came out from behind the screen.

"People in the world treat women harshly, regarding chastity as life. Once an unmarried woman loses her chastity, it is as good as death."

"Although I don't agree with this, I can't avoid worldly prejudices."

"You fought off the flower thieves and saved my beloved daughter. That's a life-saving favor. I will repay you for it."

Zhou You thought to himself that this was the reason for his visit today.

I don’t know how much they can give. Scholars are ashamed to talk about money. But looking at the situation of the Zeng family, they are definitely not short of gold and silver!
"Child, I've also invited you to come here to thank him in person!"

Miss Zeng was dressed in her best today and looked extremely solemn. With her father as witness, she thanked Zhou You solemnly.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou, for saving my life."

Zhou You looked at Miss Zeng from a close distance and felt that the flower thief had a very sharp eye and his death was well deserved.

The 28-year-old girl has a face as white as porcelain, a neck as swan-like, and a light layer of fluff behind her ears.

He had to admit that among all the women he had ever seen, Miss Zeng was the most beautiful and had the most outstanding temperament. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of person could be worthy of her!
"Zhou You, I wanted to give you a big reward, but my family is not wealthy, so I can't give you anything!"

Master Zeng pondered for a moment and said, "You seem to have a talent for seal script."

"How about this? I will take you as my disciple and teach you my seal script skills. How about that?"

Zhou You noticed that several people around him exclaimed in varying degrees of shock.

Pan Jinshan, the maid Du Juan, and even Miss Zeng all looked incredulous.

The news that Master Zeng wanted to accept a disciple was like a loud thunder that shook the roof tiles.

There are many young talents in the city, many of them are from wealthy and noble families. They all dream of becoming his disciples and offering him tuition fees that are worth thousands of gold.

What would they think if they knew that Master Zeng agreed to the martial arts boy in front of him with just a few words?
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"

Zhou You actually refused.

Pan Jinshan looked at him as if he were a fool, feeling very disappointed with him.

People like them who practice martial arts can only make a living at most. Only by studying can they become successful people. How can they not cherish such a great opportunity in front of them?
"I know you've been training hard every day. Just come to my place for an hour every night and I'll teach you seal script."

Master Zeng said gently, "Young people are in high spirits, and it will do them no harm to learn more."

Zhou You suddenly thought that the ancient book of Cantian Gate had not been translated yet, and many of the ancient seal characters were profound and obscure.

This shows that level 3 seal script is far from enough.

If I’m lucky enough to pick up some secret book in the future, I won’t be able to understand it if I’m not good enough!
"Zhou You pays respect to the Master."

Master Zeng happily asked him to stand up and said, "I'll give you a name, Zhou You Da Qian. From now on, you will be called Zhou You Zhou Da Qian!"

Miss Zeng smiled sweetly and bowed to Zhou You, "Ruyu greets you, Senior Brother."

Well, now that they have the status of master and apprentice, Miss Zeng is his junior sister.

Panjinshan and Dujuan both congratulated Zhou You. In the blink of an eye, he went from being a guest to being the master's disciple. The transformation was too fast.

As the civil and military talents had different paths, Zhou You took Master Zeng as his teacher and reported this to Wang Jianxiong.

The old man didn't care and told him to study hard but not to delay practicing martial arts.

For ordinary people, the most taboo thing is to be distracted. Both resources and energy are limited. Being distracted too much will only lead to nothing being accomplished.

The people in the story who are both civil and military talents are only those born in wealthy families.

This incident caused a stir in the cultural and educational circles of Gongliang City.

Master Zeng actually accepted a warrior as his disciple?
Because the old master was highly respected, all the criticism was directed at Zhou You, who was considered to be an ignorant and ignorant person trying to curry favor with the old master, and that it was wishful thinking for a military man to gain entry into Zeng's household.

The external turmoil has no effect on Zhou You at all.

He spent an hour every day, rain or shine, going to Zeng's house to learn seal script.

After getting to know Miss Zeng more often, I discovered that this junior sister is lively and cute in private, which is in stark contrast to her usual ladylike image.

She has been engaged to the grandson of a great scholar in the city. The other party is in mourning for three years, and the marriage can be completed after the mourning period is over.

Master Zeng locked her up at home to protect his daughter. If outsiders saw such a beauty, it might cause a great disaster.

"Da Qian, if you have the energy to spare in the future, you can take care of Ru Yu more."

"Master, rest assured. I will do my best."

If converted into panel evaluation, Mr. Zeng's seal script level is conservatively estimated to be above double digits.

Under his guidance, Zhou You was willing to work hard, use experience points when encountering difficulties, and made rapid progress.

In less than a month, the seal script was upgraded from level 3 to level 9, and the effect was much better than if it was developed in isolation.

The last veil of the ancient book of Cantian Gate was lifted, and it was translated from beginning to end and compiled into a book.

"Shantian Yangyuan Gong", the internal secret technique of the Cantian Sect.
