Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 155 Rules
On the second day after returning to school, Cheng Zitong waited until the morning to finish his work. When it was almost noon, he could not wait to drive to the lakeside garden on the east side of the school. He asked as soon as he entered the door: "Where is my senior brother?"

The gatekeeper said, "Manager Cheng, the old man is teaching the students how to hold their strength."

Cheng Zitong took off his sunglasses and looked at him. "Old Qian, you are already old, and your senior brother can't show some sympathy for you? He still lets you guard the gate?"

"It's not hard. The old man is taking care of me." The gatekeeper bowed.

"Okay, I'll go find him myself."

Cheng Zitong came up quickly, but when he got here he was not in a hurry. He walked slowly inside and came to the lotus pond. Looking at Qiao Linhu instructing his students in the water pavilion, he did not go forward, but just watched there with a smile.

Qiao Linhu also saw him, but ignored him and continued to teach seriously. The student was also very serious and did exactly what the teacher taught.

After a long time, Qiao Linhu waved to Cheng Zitong who was standing across the lotus pond, and then walked into the living room. The latter also walked over there with a smile.

When Cheng Zitong came in, Qiao Linhu asked, "Why did you have time to come here today?"

Cheng Zitong smiled and said, "It's okay, I just came to see you, Senior Brother."

Qiao Linhu looked at him and said, "There is tea on the table. I haven't drunk it yet. Pour it yourself."

Cheng Zitong said, "I won't be polite with you." He then gestured to the waterside terrace outside and said, "How is your student? I haven't seen him in school for a long time. Brother, you are here to teach him hand in hand. I believe he is improving day by day. His level should be very high. Hmm, he should have broken through the first limit, right?"

Qiao Linhu frowned and said, "How can it be that fast?" He said in a deep voice, "No one can break through the first limit after only one year of study."

"No?" Cheng Zitong thought for a moment, hummed, and nodded in agreement, saying, "Brother, you are right. There is no."

Qiao Linhu glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's not completely impossible. In the past, those evil sects stimulated people's potential, used strong drugs, used evil scriptures, and used demon fetuses to raise demon forms. However, this is an evil path and is absolutely not advisable."

Cheng Zitong said: "That's right. Those who take the wrong path can no longer be considered human beings. We are talking about serious students."

Qiao Linhu raised his head and chest, facing the direction of his student, and said slowly: "Master once said that to contain the true seed, it lies in the word 'contain'. A tall building rises from the ground. Don't rush for success. The tendons, bridges, and bones must be held straight. If they are not held straight, the Qi will be weak, and if the Qi is weak, the blood will not be prosperous, and the road ahead will not be smooth."

Cheng Zitong sighed, raised his thumb and said, "That's right. I just took a look and I think this student of yours has a very good foundation! It's very stable. Don't tell me, this old man's method is good. Once he breaks through in the future, 90% of the students in the academy will be unable to catch up."

After hearing what he said, Qiao Linhu held his beard with one hand and nodded, saying proudly: "Those young teachers in the academy have only studied for a few years, how can they guide others? Humph, they dare to teach. In the past, who would dare to teach apprentices without twenty years of experience and a master's certificate? Aren't they afraid of teaching people bad things?"

"That's right."

Cheng Zitong sighed and said, "Look at me. I have just taught a student, but I am always afraid that I can't teach well and I am afraid of misleading the student. Look, this time I took him out to practice, thinking that I could teach him something, but I didn't expect that he would come back after just a few days. It's not that I don't want to teach, but I don't know how to teach. I think I should think about it, so why don't you take a look at me, brother?"

Qiao Linhu suddenly realized, is he here to seek Buddhist scriptures today?
He thought for a moment and said, "Junior brother, it's good that you think this way, but when teaching students, you must first set rules. Otherwise, you won't be able to teach well. What else..."

He shook his head. "Students have to be divided. If they don't have talent, forget it. No matter how you teach them, they won't be good. As long as they can have a job after graduation, you have done them a good job."

Cheng Zitong sighed, "I'm not as good as you, senior brother. I remember that at that time, the old man always used you as an example to educate me and my junior brothers. He also said that if someone like me taught students in the future, I would be misleading. Only you, senior brother, could pass on his methods and teach a true master."

Qiao Linhu said earnestly: "Junior brother, you can't say that. You were still young at that time. Master just wanted to inspire you. He has always had expectations for you.

As for teaching apprentices, the first thing is talent, the second is the individual, and the third is the teacher's teaching. I can only contribute 30% at most, but if my student can fully understand this 30%, I dare not say that I can go higher. In the future, the road will definitely become wider and brighter, and the teacher's knowledge can be passed on and not buried. "

Cheng Zitong said, "That makes sense. I will come to ask for advice from you more often in the future."

Qiao Linhu nodded unconsciously. This junior brother always used to be at odds with the master. Now, doesn't he understand the teacher's painstaking efforts? There is a reason why the old rules can be passed down!

His mood suddenly improved, and he asked, "Would you like to stay for dinner?"

"Eat, I'm hungry."

Qiao Linhu immediately asked his servants to prepare the food. After the meal was served, the two of them sat at the table. However, Qiao Linhu was particular about not talking while eating. He chewed his food slowly and didn't say a word the entire time.

Cheng Zitong had a particularly good appetite today, and his belly was round. After he finished eating, he touched his belly and commented, "It smells good! It smells really good! Brother, you are a nice person here, and the food is delicious. Why didn't I notice it before?"

Qiao Linhu put down his chopsticks and looked at him. "If you think it tastes good, come here often. There aren't many people here anyway."

Cheng Zitong shook his head and said, "No, that would disturb you from teaching your apprentice. Hey, why don't you ask your apprentice to come and eat with you?"

Qiao Linhu said slowly: "How can a teacher and apprentice eat together? Only after the master has finished eating can the apprentice sit at the table."

Cheng Zitong said: "It's the old rule again, right? I remember that at that time, the apprentice could only eat the leftovers left by the master."

"That's true, but Master has never been harsh on us disciples."

Cheng Zitong nodded sincerely this time: "Old man, you did a good job on this point."

Qiao Linhu said: "Brother, I was abandoned in the wild when I was young. It was common for me to compete with dogs for food. It was my master who took me in and taught me a lot of skills."

He took out a cloth and wiped his mouth, then threw it on the table. "I don't understand the big principles. I only know that with martial arts, you can make a living anywhere. But to develop skills, you must first have rules." He pointed to his chest. "These rules must be established in your heart and engraved in your bones before they can be passed down.

Junior brother, it seems that you care about your students very much. Are you going to take him as your apprentice? It doesn't matter if he lacks talent. What I said before still counts. As long as your student works for me as an apprentice for three years, I can give him my sword manual. The rules are set. It doesn't matter if he lacks talent. My apprentice can help him in the future. "Cheng Zitong just smiled and said, "Senior brother, it's not a good thing for your apprentice to stay here all the time and not show up at the academy. What are you going to do?"

Qiao Linhu said: "Master has said that my apprentice has been taught well and has passed the exam. He will find a way to take him to the central city. You, the student, will follow him and have a chance too."

Cheng Zitong shook his head, "We can't compare, we can't compare." He stood up and put on his sunglasses, "Okay, brother, I'm done with dinner, I should go back now, see you later." He said, waved his hand, and walked out.

At this time, in a private training hall in the south of the city, Chen Chuan was practicing the stance again and again, while making shouting sounds, stimulating and guiding the growth of the alienated tissues in his internal organs.

To act, one must do the whole set. He couldn't abandon the training habits that he had deliberately arranged just after getting the certificate. That would be too abrupt. So after showing up in school, he came back here.

Just like the first limit, after reaching the second limit, he did not strengthen only a certain part of the internal organs like other students. The Zhou Yuan Jin method emphasized the wholeness and covered all the internal organs.

Therefore, the improvement at this stage may seem like no progress at first from the outside, but in fact it is a horizontal expansion. After this step is completed, it will become stronger and stronger, and every improvement is a huge progress.

The drugs he is using now are only allowed to be used at the second level, but in order not to expose his own progress, all these drugs were obtained by Cheng Zitong personally.

It's just the beginning now, and it's undoubtedly enough, but he is not a person with natural talent after all, and the dosage of the medicine is several times that of others. According to past judgment, the effect of the medicine on him will gradually decrease after two or three months, so he will have to find something to replace it.

After spending a few days in the gym, it was soon the rest day in early June.

He packed up in the morning and went back to his aunt's house. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his cousins ​​playing the high-five game. This time he brought back some toys and shared them with the two little ones.

This was because Cheng Zitong knew that he had children at home, so he bought it from another place and asked him to bring it back with him, so that there would be no loopholes on the surface.

Nian Fuli was flipping through a workbook, comparing it with another booklet, and occasionally writing something on it. When he saw him come back, he said in surprise, "Xiao Chuan, didn't you go to practice with your instructor? Why are you back so soon?"

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Maybe I learned quickly, so I came back early."

Nian Fuli looked at him a few times, didn't ask any more questions, and continued to look at his notes.

Yu Wan said, "It's better to come back early. Nothing outside can compare to being at home."

Chen Chuan said, "That's right. The food outside is not as delicious as my aunt's. I always miss the soup my aunt made." Yu Wan was very happy. "As long as you come back, my aunt will make it for you."

Nian Fuli also said: "Your aunt is a master at this, but these days I can only eat the hot meals your aunt makes on my days off."

Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "Uncle, is there another big case?"

Nian Fuli never told him this before, but ever since he dealt with Fang Dawei and his gang, he would talk to him about what happened in the Police Bureau from time to time.

He shook his head and said, "The Bloodstain Gang has been making a lot of noise lately. They have been fighting with the Iron Chain Gang several times. Although the southern part of the city is not our jurisdiction, we have been sending brothers from our district to help out recently."

Chen Chuan asked: "Is it because of the murder of the leader of the Bloodstain Gang?"

"You heard about it, too? It's about this. The bureau sent people to check it out. It's said that the real cause of death of those people was the Skull-Splitting Demon." He shook his head. "This is not easy to handle. It's an unsolved case. We turned to the Iron Chain Gang because we couldn't find the real culprit. We could only find someone who was important enough so that we could give an explanation to the people below.

In fact, some leaders of the Blood Stain Gang did not want to fight to the death with the Iron Chain Gang, because most of the Iron Chain Gang's business was outside the city, and if they fought too much, the Blood Stain Gang would suffer greater losses.

Although the higher-ups have given notice, the Molan Company has not spoken yet, and the Bloodstain Gang is forcing the Chain Gang to hand over the murderer. I don't think this will stop anytime soon, and it will continue to rage for a while. I don't know how many people will suffer as a result."

Chen Chuan hummed.

"Chan'er, it's almost holiday time, are you going back home?" Yu Wan asked with concern.

Chen Chuan said, "Aunt, I'm coming back, but I have things to do at school and the company, so I may not be able to stay at home for long."

Nian Fuli said to Yu Wan: "Xiao Chuan is an adult now, there is no need to restrict him." Yu Wan glared at him and said, "Who cares?"

"Okay, I don't care." Nian Fuli said helplessly.

The two little guys, Nian Mo and Nian Lu, raised their hands together and said, "We want to be adults, too."

Nian Fuli chuckled and straightened the workbook in his hand, "I hope you two can still think like this when you grow up, so I can worry less."

As they were talking, the phone rang in the living room. Chen Chuan walked over and answered it. "Hello, this is Nian's house." Ren Shu's voice came from the other side, "Expert Chen, it's me, Ren Shu. Do you have time now?"

Chen Chuan asked, "What's the matter?"

Ren Shu lowered his voice and said, "The Bloodstain Gang has sent people to the company."
