Chapter 70 Official Apprenticeship
Soon, Zhao Shi's face changed suddenly, and the armor on his body, the Longdan spear in his hand, and the sword on his waist all turned into streams of light and returned to the tablet.
no way.
The ancestor's equipment is very handsome and powerful, but it consumes too much incense.
In just a few seconds, more than half of the two hundred incense sticks he had stored were consumed.
It's terrifying.
"Brother Shi, what's wrong?"
Seeing the armor disappear, Jiang Linger asked hurriedly.
"It's okay. The equipment of our ancestor was too powerful back then, and I'm too weak now. I don't have enough incense to drive it!" Zhao Shi shook his head helplessly.
Incense.
Everything is based on incense.''
Hearing that her man also needed incense to use the ancestor's equipment, Jiang Linger thought for a moment and said, "Brother Shi, I think that although there are offerings and sacrifices from the family, the incense should still be used to invite the gods!"
"Yes, Dad, our family is not short of money now. Only when you become stronger can Mom and I be safer!"
Zhao Yan'er nodded in agreement.
Zhao Shi thought about it, and finally shook his head and said, "It's okay. The incense provided by the family is not worth mentioning compared to the incense provided by the family!"
Not to mention how much incense he can absorb from the incense.
The supply of incense for praying to the gods is not unlimited.
Each household can burn a maximum of three sticks of incense per day.
This is the rule of the Demon Suppression Division and also the rule of the Huanggong Temple. Is there a reason? It is only said that once the ancestral spirits absorb too much incense from the incense sticks, there will be great harm, but as for what harm, it is unknown.
If it could be absorbed infinitely, Zhao Shi naturally wouldn't mind spending money here to buy incense to pray to the gods.
pity!
Each family can only buy three sticks per day.
First, it is difficult to make incense to invite gods. Second, the fundamental purpose of this incense is not to be absorbed by the ancestral spirits, but to summon the ancestral spirits.
Furthermore, Zhao Shi might not have understood the dangers mentioned by the Demon Suppression Division and the old priest of Huanggong Temple before and thought they were alarmist, but after this incident, Zhao Shi roughly understood them.
Incense is poisonous!
The incense in the incense sticks has obviously been processed and contains pure incense power. However, once too much is absorbed, there will probably still be problems.
However, the incense offered by the younger generations of the bloodline is different. The power of these incense sticks only contains the idea of offering sacrifices to the ancestors, and there are not so many strange requests for help.
Even if there are, the number is relatively small and not enough to have an impact on the ancestral spirits.
When the mother and daughter heard what Zhao Shi said, they didn't know what to say. After all, they knew too little about their ancestral spirits.
The sky gradually brightened, and Zhao Shi's family burned three sticks of incense to invite the gods before they stopped. The mother and daughter were very excited today and kept chattering.
Everything that happened today had a huge impact on them.
The ancestor's tablet was brought in.
Know some secrets about my family.
Although the ancestor did not show his divine power, it can be considered a different kind of divine power.
All this made them feel like they were in a dream.
"Yan'er, come out. Starting today, I will officially teach you martial arts!" Just as the two were chatting intensely, Bao Ye's voice rang out outside the ancestral hall.
"Ah! Dad, Mom, the master is here to call me to practice martial arts." Zhao Yan exclaimed when she heard Master Bao's call.
Practice martial arts!
Although martial arts are not popular nowadays, no one dares to underestimate martial artists.
Exorcists are strong, but they are too far away from ordinary people.
In this world, except for those big families, women rarely practice martial arts.
Where is Zhao Yaner?
She had thought about practicing martial arts since she was a child, but it required a lot of money. Even though her mother loved her, she would never let her spend the money.
After all, among these apprentices who spend money to learn martial arts, very few can become martial artists.
And practicing martial arts is very hard.
Most men cannot endure this kind of hardship, let alone women. Moreover, women are naturally weak and it is difficult for them to achieve results through training. Instead, it will make their skin rough. Naturally, no women would choose to practice martial arts.
"Well, if you like it, then practice it. If you don't like it, that's fine. Dad is here to protect you and your daughter!" Zhao Shi said to his daughter. He knew that practicing martial arts had endless benefits for a person. No one would think of rejecting the feeling of great power being integrated into oneself.
But this world of martial arts is not kind to women.
The first step in martial arts is to train the skin, which means to make it as tough as cowhide. Just imagine how horrible it would be if a woman's skin became like this. If you want to restore it to normal, you need a lot of money to take medicinal baths.
Where do ordinary people get money?
If it weren't for the large amount of silver that Zhao Shi brought, neither Jiang Ling'er nor Zhao Yan would have chosen the path of martial arts even if they wanted to.
Jiang Ling'er just smiled and looked at her man and daughter.
She felt very happy at this moment.
Although the child's father has become a spirit, she still feels very happy and is very satisfied with the current state of her family. This family has undergone tremendous changes in just a few days.
Having ancestral spirits in the home can at least ensure the safety of the family when evil spirits wreak havoc.
The large amount of silver allowed the mother and daughter to no longer have to show up in public, smile every day, and endure the men's dirty words to run a tavern to earn a living.
The family has a supporter, and he is also a warrior.
Workshop!
Tavern
And those magical daily necessities.
All this happened in just a few days.
It made her feel overwhelmed and a little worried.
Worried that this was all a dream.
"I'm here, Master!" Zhao Yan shouted to Bao Ye outside the ancestral hall and opened the door of the ancestral hall.
Where is Mr. Bao?
Step into the ancestral hall.
The first thing Bao Ye saw when he entered the ancestral hall was that there was an extra tablet above Zhao Shi's, and he was stunned.
Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong!
Is it
Then Master Bao looked at Jiang Ling and asked, "This is..."
"Master Bao, this is the tablet of my Zhao family's ancestor. From now on, it will be enshrined in the family ancestral hall!" Jiang Linger said with a proud smile.
"what!!"
"it is good!"
"it is good!"
Upon hearing this, Bao Ye couldn't help but exclaim and cheer!
With the ancestor's tablet, the family has a foundation. This is a big deal for any family, and it also makes Jiang Linger and Zhao Yan happy.
After all, Jiang Linger is his granddaughter and a descendant of the Jiang family.
"Ling'er, go make a cup of tea. Although Mr. Bao doesn't mind, you have to be polite!" Zhao Shi said at this time.
Apprenticeship!
Especially becoming a disciple in a different world is not as simple as becoming a disciple.
The relationship between a master and his apprentice is very close, even more so than that between a father and his son.
Parents give their children life, but the master gives them the foundation for survival and the ability to survive.
In a different world where a skill can support a family or even several generations, accepting an apprentice is equivalent to the master passing on his own skills to the next generation.
This is a great favor.
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away!" Jiang Ling'er nodded repeatedly after suddenly realizing it.
Jiang Linger came back soon with a cup of tea in her hand.
"Uncle Bao, our family should have held a grand apprenticeship ceremony and informed the neighbors, but now there are only Ling'er and her daughter at home. It's quite inconvenient and really simple. I'm sorry for the neglect!" After seeing Jiang Ling'er hand the teacup to his daughter, Zhao Shi bowed to Uncle Bao and said.
"Boy, you know I don't care about these!" Where is Bao Ye? After hearing Zhao Shi's words, he looked at Zhao Shi meaningfully and said.
Zhao Shi knew what Master Bao meant.
After all, Jiang Linger and Zhao Yan are Bao Ye’s descendants, perhaps the only descendants. Taking Yan’er as a disciple is actually leaving behind the family heritage.
"Master Bao, you may not care, but we cannot be ignorant!" Zhao Shi shook his head after hearing what Master Bao said.
After Zhao Shi finished speaking to Master Bao, he looked at his daughter and said, "Yan'er, kneel down!"
Zhao Yan did not dare to be negligent and knelt on the ground with the teacup in her hand held high.
