Chapter 99 Shi Yulin

Thinking of the Thousand Fingers Cicada, Gu Junqing no longer had any reservations. She glanced at Ji Rang, who was looking at her calmly, and thanked him, accepting the favor.

"Thank you, Lord Ji."

Ji Rang acted quickly. He had just finished speaking in the morning and in the afternoon he sent someone to bring Shi Yulin into the Gu Mansion.

When Gu Junqing heard the servant say that someone was visiting outside, she knew it was Shi Yulin, the person Ji Rang had mentioned.

At this time, Ye Shan happened to be sitting next to him. He was pestering her to teach him martial arts. Just when Gu Junqing looked annoyed and was about to agree to it, she was called by the announcement as if someone had rescued her. Ye Shan curled his lips and looked very unhappy. But he still knew his limits. After all, Gu Junqing had just told him that a man who was good at Qimen Dunjia would come to the mansion today. As long as he was sensible and well-behaved, the man would accept him as his apprentice.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Ye Shan finally saw the man named Shi Yulin.

The first thought was that this man was very young, seemingly only about twenty years old, completely different from the old man with a big white beard that he had imagined in his mind.

The handsome face, cold white skin, free and easy temperament and the smile on his lips made Ye Shan subconsciously like this man, and he was even more looking forward to this man becoming his master.

Shi Yulin and Gu Junqing, who was talking to him, had no idea what the boy standing behind them was thinking. After the two of them exchanged greetings, Gu Junqing, as the host, immediately asked someone to find a seat for Shi Yulin and let him sit opposite him, while Ye Shan stood between them. After all, they were apprentices, and the master was sitting while he was standing, which made him feel that he was being impolite.

"Mr. Shi, there is no need to be polite. Just sit down and have some tea."

As soon as Gu Junqing finished speaking, another clear and clean young voice suddenly laughed a few times, with a bit of the unique cheerfulness and casualness of people in the martial arts world, and then said with a smile:

"Hahaha, then I'll do as General Gu says. I, Shi, have always been used to being casual outside, and I don't understand the rules. I was worried that General Gu would dislike me, but it turns out I was worrying too much."

Gu Junqing smiled and shook his head, his eyes showing his admiration for Shi Yulin: "How could that be? Mr. Shi's carefree and cheerful character is exactly what I admire."

After the two chatted for a while, Gu Junqing spoke first and got straight to the point:

"I heard that Master Shi is quite accomplished in Qimen Dunjia, and his knowledge is also well-known in the martial arts world. I admire him. Fortunately, I happened to find Master Shi today. It is my honor..."

She paused, glanced at Mr. Shi who was about to say something, and smiled, the curve of her beautiful lips was very beautiful:

"Mr. Shi, I believe you know this. After all, Prime Minister Ji must have told you about what's going on around me in the Ji Mansion. But if you don't want to, I naturally wouldn't dare to force you. Of course, if you are willing, you can test this child about the art of Qimen Dunjia first. Maybe this child has a talent. Then teaching him won't cause trouble for you, Mr. Shi."

These words simply gave him two choices, one was unwilling, the other was willing. Of course, both choices were in accordance with his wishes, which showed a lot of respect for him and General Gu's humble attitude.

Shi Yulin looked at the handsome young man in front of him with a rosy face, starry eyes and humble temperament. Just by looking at his appearance, no one would know that Gu Junqing, the number one general of the Great Qi Dynasty, who was always seen as decisive and terrifying by the people, was actually such a warm and humble person. Before coming here, Shi Yulin thought he would face a cold guy, but now it was beyond his expectations.

His eyes flickered, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. Gu Junqing saw it clearly, but did not say anything. He just lowered his head and took a sip of tea. Then he saw Shi Yulin stand up and look at Ye Shan, who had been standing between them, at a loss but trying his best to remain quiet and well-behaved.

He didn't know the child's name yet, but Ji Xiang told him to come to General Gu's house because there was a child who wanted to be his disciple. So he relaxed his cheeks and whispered to the boy in front of him:

"What's your name?"

Ye Shan felt a little embarrassed. It was the first time someone spoke to him in such a gentle and natural tone since he came here. So his face turned slightly red and he looked at him with shining eyes. His childish voice was filled with a bit of nervousness and happiness that he thought he had hidden well:

"My name is Ye Shan!" Ye Shan... nice name.

Shi Yulin nodded, and then started to ask:

"I heard that you know some basics of Qimen Dunjia, so I might as well test you. If you answer all the questions correctly, I will accept you as my apprentice, okay?"

Ye Shan had known that Shi Yulin would come to test him, so he made sufficient preparations. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"it is good!"

"The Qi Men Dun Jia plate is the most critical part of this knowledge. It contains four plates: Heaven, Earth, Man and God. Among these four plates, the upper one can be used to imitate the world and the earth, the middle one can discuss human affairs and the relationship between the current situation and changes in the world, and the God plate contains the mysterious power of thousands of plants and living things. Each of the four plates has its own merits. So Ye Shan, can you briefly explain what these four plates are?"

Gu Junqing, who was sitting aside listening to their conversation and had never paid attention to the art of Qimen Dunjia, silently stated that she would just listen and not interrupt.

When Ye Shan heard this question, his eyes lit up. He had read many books on this, most of which were about the study of Qimen magic. He memorized them all in his mind, so he didn't need to think too much and blurted out:

"There are the sky plate, the earth plate, the human plate, the god plate, and a hidden plate. However, this hidden plate usually does not appear on the plate..."

Shi Yulin looked at him with appreciation, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.

Seeing Shi Yulin looking at him with raised eyebrows, as if wanting him to continue, Ye Shan suddenly realized that Shi Yulin had just asked him to explain briefly, so he continued:

"The so-called celestial plate actually refers to the nine stars and the celestial plate's strange instruments, collectively known as the celestial plate; the so-called human plate refers to the eight gates; the so-called earth plate refers to the nine palaces and the earth plate's strange instruments; the so-called god plate refers to the eight gods; the hidden plate refers to the hidden stems."

"Yes, it seems that you have the basics and a thorough understanding. Okay, since you have good aptitude and you have a good affinity with me, I, Shi Yulin, will accept you as my disciple from today and join my Qimen sect." Shi Yulin gathered his sleeves, curved his narrow phoenix eyes, and said with a satisfied tone and a smile in his voice.
