The old man did not speak. He moved his feet slightly and took a small step. He raised his right hand slightly with his palm upward.

Yang Xiuwen knew that he had to take action, otherwise he would be disrespectful to his seniors.

So he said: "Since the senior wants to test the boy, then the boy will be offended."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xiuwen stepped forward with an arrow, and suddenly stretched out his right hand to grab the old man's throat at an extremely fast speed.

The old man flashed to the left, reached out and grabbed his right hand, and stretched his right foot forward. Yang Xiuwen was pulled by the old man, and his feet were stirred again, and his body flew out directly.

Fortunately, he was now at the first level of Qi training and his body was flexible. After flipping around in the air, he landed firmly on the ground.

After he stood firm, he cupped his fists and said, "Old man, there's no need to try, I've lost."

The old man also stopped his fists and feet, looked Yang Xiuwen up and down, and said, "You have a flexible body and quick reactions. You are a good material for martial arts. Do you have a master?"

It seems that this old man is interested in recruiting disciples.

Sure enough, after Yang Xiuwen said no, the old man said: "If you want to learn martial arts, then become my teacher. Kowtow quickly."

In this way, Yang Xiuwen became a master in a daze. After kowtow, he was still confused, so he had another master.

When the master and apprentice sat together and chatted, Yang Xiuwen learned that the master's name was Chen Zhiwu, who was fifty-eight years old. He was originally a coach at Xi'an Martial Arts School and retired eight years ago.

I live in the family home of the Culture and Sports Bureau next to the small park. My wife is Liu Mei. They have a son and a daughter, both of whom work in the Culture and Sports Bureau.

Yang Xiuwen also told his own situation. After hearing this, Chen Zhiwu felt very regretful.

Patting him, he said, "It's all over. You have to live a good life for yourself and your parents. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell the master. But it's a good thing that you become a disciple of Zhou Xingwen. When the day of apprenticeship comes, I will go there too. He and

I've known him before and he's a nice guy."

Chen Zhiwu looked at his watch and told Yang Xiuwen to come here every morning to teach him Tai Chi.

Then they separated at the entrance of the park.

Yang Xiuwen looked at the old man's back, touched his head and said to himself, "My character has exploded. A master has emerged from running, and he is also a master with extremely high attainments in martial arts."

In the morning, Yang Xiuwen rushed to Wenbaozhai, met Zhou Xingwen, handed him the key to the store, and told him about becoming Chen Zhiwu's disciple.

Zhou Xingwen said: "Master Chen's Kung Fu is real Kung Fu. You must learn it hard. The apprenticeship ceremony will be held at noon two days later. Take good care of yourself and get your hair cut."

Yang Xiuwen nodded in agreement and mentioned that he would go to the countryside to see the incense burner today.

Zhou Xingwen said: "You can go. With your current eyesight, you should be able to tell the difference between authenticity and fakeness. If it is genuine, it will be 800-1500 yuan before the Tang Dynasty and 300-1000 yuan after the Yuan Dynasty. Otherwise, you will not make money. Remember."

After saying that, he handed him a few antique books and said, "The day after tomorrow, some of my colleagues may give you a test at the apprenticeship ceremony. Read these books. Don't embarrass the master then. Okay, you go."

."

Yang Xiuwen gave Zhou Xingwen a cup of hot tea, handed it to him with both hands and said, "Don't worry, master, I have remembered your words, so I will leave now."

After saying that, he went downstairs and said hello to Uncle Zhang on the first floor.

Zhou Xingwen listened to the voice downstairs and smiled and said to himself, "This brat."

Cao Guoqing and Yang Xiuwen rode for more than an hour to eat and drink before arriving at the village Cao Guoqing mentioned.

Almost all the villages have adobe houses and adobe courtyards. After asking for help, I came to the door of the family's courtyard.

There are chickens, ducks, and a local dog raised in the yard. A middle-aged man is feeding the chickens.

Hearing the ringing of the bicycle bell at the entrance of the courtyard, he turned around and saw Cao Guoqing and the two of them, and asked, "Who are you and what's the matter with you?"

Cao Guoqing replied, "Brother, we heard that you have an incense burner for sale, so we came over to have a look. If you like it, the price is easy to negotiate."

After hearing this, the man came over, opened the courtyard door and let him in, then entered the courtyard.

He closed the door and said, "Some people have come to see it in the past few days. The price is too low and I don't agree. The incense burner is inherited from my family. Please wait a moment and I will get it."

After entering the room, Yang Xiuwen whispered to Cao Guoqing: "Brother Cao, look at me for a while, don't be impatient."

At this time, the middle-aged man came out, holding something wrapped in a small sheet in his hand, placed it on the wooden table in the yard and said, "Take a look."

Cao Guoqing took out a pair of gloves from his pocket and put them on his hands solemnly. Yang Xiuwen almost laughed out loud when he saw it. This guy is so capable.

After opening it, he saw a copper incense burner with two erect ears and three legs, covered with gray-black patina. Yang Xiuwen first used his knowledge of antiques to judge that it was from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

Then he concentrated on using his eyes: a three-legged incense burner made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, made of copper. The red aura on the incense burner was instantly absorbed by his eyes, giving him a warm feeling.
