Chapter 895 Kowtow to the teacher!
895
Apprenticeship is a very serious matter in the historical tradition of China. As the saying goes, disciples, means that some people will raise their disciples as sons, and disciples will also treat their masters as fathers.
However, nowadays, everything has become casual in fast food, so in China, apprenticeships no longer pay attention to so much red tape. For example, the Chinese Martial Arts Association, martial arts clubs accept apprentices on a large scale, and apprenticeships basically means paying money, then offering tea, kowtows, etc., all of them are saved.
Xu Taiping expressed his dissatisfaction with this because in his opinion, he had to kowtow if he became a disciple, because this represents respect for his master. For example, if Lawrence wants to take him as his disciple, Lawrence must kowtow, and no one can change this.
Lawrence's face was extremely difficult to see. He walked to Xu Taiping, pulled the corners of his mouth awkwardly and said, "I was just a joke."
"Mr. Lawrence, although I don't know how you Western countries view integrity, there is a saying in our China that people cannot stand without trust, and there is also a saying in our China that a gentleman is as good as a master. Since you said before, if I can shake everyone away, I have to take my teacher, and I must make you take me as my teacher. This is not just your own business, but also my business. If you are not honest, please don't let me be distrustful, please!" Xu Taiping said to Lawrence seriously.
"Mr. Lawrence, get a disciple!"
"Mr. Lawrence, it's a great honor to have such a powerful kung fu teacher!"
The people in the audience shouted that they had been impressed by Xu Taiping's previous move, so in their opinion, Lawrence's apprentice to Xu Taiping is really not a big deal.
Lawrence was already in a complete difficulty at this time. He wanted to leave, but the camera next to him kept looking at him. If he left, then when the show was broadcast, his ugly appearance would be seen by audiences across the country.
If this is the case, then Lawrence will be ruined. A person who does not keep his promise will definitely not be popular in a country like the United States that values credit.
Lawrence's brain was spinning rapidly, and it seemed that he had been thinking for a long time, but in fact it only took a few seconds.
A few seconds later, Lawrence's picture suddenly became extremely serious.
"Mr. Xu's martial arts really amazed me. In fact, the reason why I didn't want to worship Mr. Xu as my teacher was because I think a powerful figure like Mr. Xu should accept powerful disciples. An old man like me, his bones, muscles, etc. have become stiff. If you become your disciple, you may tarnish your reputation. Therefore, I don't want to worship you as my teacher. It's not because of anything else, but because I don't want to embarrass you!" Lawrence said with emotion.
Otherwise, the people who acted were all talking, one spoke human and the other was talking nonsense. After Lawrence said this, he immediately reversed all the bad effects that had been caused before. Everyone around him had a feeling of enlightenment. It turned out that Lawrence was not unwilling to become a disciple, but he did not want to embarrass Mr. Xu.
"I don't mind, and there are many Chinese martial arts that are for health preservation, so there is no need to open and close together. For example, Tai Chi, etc. I can also teach you that I accept disciples, but I don't mind how old my disciple is and how talented my disciple is. The only thing I care about is whether my disciple is filial to his parents and teachers. In our China, there is a saying that filial piety is the first of all virtues. This is what it means. People may not be powerful and have no money, but they must be filial!" Xu Taiping said seriously.
Xu Taiping's words fully demonstrated his generosity and his determination to accept Lawrence as his disciple.
Lawrence knew that he couldn't escape this, and it would seem fake if he rudes it. So Lawrence smiled, clasped his hands at Xu Taiping and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll take you as my master. Master is here, and I'll be bowed by his disciple Lawrence!"
After saying that, Lawrence bowed to Xu Taiping.
When Lawrence bent down, Lawrence glanced at Xu Taiping like a demonstration, with a clear meaning.
I have already bowed to you, so you should stop at the right time.
Xu Taiping never knew what it was to stop at the right time. He only knew that in one sentence, it was called "hit hitting the dog in the water."
So, Xu Taiping smiled and said, "Mr. Lawrence, you probably don't know much about the interests of apprenticeship in China. In our China, apprenticeship is a very tedious process. I'm calm. Now I'm abroad, and we are still recording programs. Some of these tedious details can be omitted. However, one of the most important things must not be omitted, that is, kowtow. Only by kowtowing can you be considered apprenticeship, otherwise, it will not be considered apprenticeship."
Lawrence straightened up, a look of ruthlessness flashed across his face, and then he smiled and said, "It's not impossible to kowtow, just kowtow here? Will it seem unprofessional? I heard that you, China, like to watch the days very much. I think we might as well find a good day, and then find a good place to complete all the process of apprenticeship. What do you think? So you said that you have saved so many links and the matter of apprenticeship becomes less rigorous."
"No, no!" Xu Taiping shook his head firmly and said, "As long as you kowtow to me, all other etiquettes are not needed. Mr. Lawrence, you are not willing to kowtow, right? If you really don't want to kowtow to become a disciple, then forget it, I can't force you."
Lawrence didn't expect Xu Taiping to press on like this step by step, and he was about to force him into a dead end. If he continued to refuse at this time, it would be a bit fake, but if he was asked to kowtow to Xu Taiping, he wouldn't be able to pull that face off.
Just then, there were bursts of discussion in the audience.
As soon as he heard these discussions, Lawrence gritted his teeth, then knelt down in the direction of Xu Taiping, and then said with a smile on his face, "Since Master Xu is willing to mind those etiquettes to accept me as his disciple, I won't care so much. Master Xu is here, and today I, Lawrence, will take Master Xu as my teacher. From today on, Master Xu is my master!"
Xu Taiping was a little surprised. Lawrence was really kneeling down, but if he were to do it, he would have a little psychological disorder.
Of course, in Xu Taiping's opinion, Lawrence will definitely make a profit when he takes his master. Not to mention his identity as the world's number one killer, but to say his current wealth, it would be no exaggeration for Lawrence to take his master. If it were just from the perspective of martial arts alone, Lawrence would not lose. In the future, he said he was his apprentice, so who dared to hit him?
If the apprentice is beaten, the master will have to come forward. This is the rule. If the apprentice is beaten and the master does not come forward, then the master will not be a qualified master.
The camera immediately pointed at Lawrence, and then Jennifer kept exclaiming something in front of the camera.
Since they had already knelt, Lawrence completely let go. Anyway, he knelt and knelt a few times, so he simply knelt there and kowtowed three times in a row to Xu Taiping...
When he saw that Lawrence had really kowtowed and apprenticed to him, Xu Taiping nodded with satisfaction, then reached out and helped Lawrence up.
"From today on, you will be my number one disciple who fights for life." Xu Taiping patted Lawrence's shoulder with satisfaction.
Lawrence secretly told himself that all this was just a scene, and said with a smile, "Master, please give me more advice in the future. If someone bullies me, I hope you can help me!"
"That's nothing to say!" Xu Taiping smiled and nodded, saying, "As long as I'm in the United States, I won't allow anyone to bully you!"
"Is that right?!" Lawrence was still a little happy when he heard Xu Taiping's words. After all, Xu Taiping's strength was there, so it would be no problem for him to easily work dozens of people alone. If he could ask him to guide himself and then make an action movie by himself, he might become more popular!
Thinking of this, Lawrence smiled and said, "Master, I wonder how long you will stay in our United States?"
"This, I'll go back tomorrow, the plane will be tomorrow night." Xu Taiping said.
Lawrence's face froze suddenly.
Go back tomorrow?!fxck!
This interview ended with such a dramatic ending.
Xu Taiping demonstrated the magic of Chinese martial arts in front of many people, which can be regarded as a positive publicity for Chinese martial arts.
Lawrence knelt down and kowtowed three times to Xu Taiping. This is destined to be the biggest burst of this show this Saturday. I believe that it will detonate the entire entertainment industry after the show is broadcast.
Lawrence got a cheap master, which was indeed very cheap, because after accepting Lawrence's kowtow, he would return to China tomorrow. Basically, he could not participate in anything Lawrence had, and he could not teach Lawrence anything.
Xu Taiping got a cheap apprentice, who came from Hollywood. The movie Xu Taiping invested in to be the second female lead for Zhao Xiaohua to be produced and distributed in Hollywood in the future. Will there be any interesting relationship between the two? This is what happened in the future.
In short, Xu Taiping was very satisfied because he made the self-righteous Lawrence kowtow to him, and at the same time he also got all the information he wanted.
His mind now clearly remembered all the information about the murderers who killed Wang Li, including the places where they might live, and their appearance, all of them were there!
Only when Xu Taiping leaves the United States will the killing begin.
