Chapter 14: Reverse Effect as Cause
Last time, Zhang Jiaotou and Yue Fei held their guns on their heads almost at the same time, and the two laughed at each other, and everyone believed what Yue Fei said.
Zhang Jiaotou smiled and said to Yue Fei: "Can you tell us the name of Lingshi Zhou Langzhong, so that we can visit?" β
Yue Fei returned: "Mr.'s surname is Zhou Mingdong, the word is Juchen, and the road number is Iron Arm Daoist." β
"Iron Arm Daoist? It's a familiar name, so I can't remember it."
Zhang Jiaotou was puzzled. Li Jiaotou next to him interjected: "Is it the chief 'Tian' teacher of the Jingshi Imperial Boxing Gym." The head of the 800,000 Praetorian Guards, the master of Lin Chong, the leopard head of one of the five tiger generals of Liangshan, and Mr. Zhou, who is known as the 'Shaanxi Hero Iron Arm Zhou Dong'?
Yue Fei shook his head: "I know that Mr. Lu Dao's name is Zhou Tong, but I don't know if Lu Dao is the iron arm of Shaanxi heroes, and the teacher has never mentioned it to me." β
"Quick, let's go visit Mr. Zhou, I met Mr. Zhou in Bianliang, Tokyo, I know him" After Li Jiaotou finished speaking, he led Yue Fei and Zhang Jiaotou to the end of the village like two little fans.
When the three of them arrived at the hut, they saw Mr. Zhou basking in the sun on the big stone slab and sleeping lazy.
The three of them tiptoed up to Mr. Zhou, Yue Fei was about to speak, but Li Jiaotou hurriedly stopped him, and the three of them waited beside him.
After about a stick of incense, Mr. Zhou woke up, sat up, looked at Yue Fei and the others, and asked, "Who are these two?" β
Yue Fei replied: "These two are the leaders invited by the village, and they came to meet the teacher today." β
Zhou Tong waved his hand and said, "Outsiders don't see you, please go back." β
Li Jiaotou hurriedly knelt on the ground, arched his hands, and said: "The little one is not an outsider, when the head of Wudu went to Bianliang, Tokyo, it was Lin Jiaotou who asked the little leader of Wudu to come to the Royal Boxing Gym to see Mr. Zhou." The little one's name is Li Zhong, do you remember it? β
Ladies and gentlemen: The Imperial Boxing Gym is a martial arts hall set up by Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, representing the highest martial arts in the country. The Imperial Boxing Gym has a chief teacher, who is appointed by the emperor himself. There are three great teachers of heaven, earth and people, and Zhou Tong is the teacher of the word "sky" and has the most respected status.
After Wu Song fought the tiger, the county ordered Sun Guoqing to send Wu Song to send tiger bone paste to Beijing to Cai Jing in order to tie up with the powerful, and Wu Song stayed in Beijing to get acquainted with Lin Chong. Lin Chong thought that Wu Song was born with divine powers, had a straightforward personality, and was a material that could be made, so he asked Li Zhong to lead him to see Zhou Dong. Zhou Tong met at first sight and personally taught Wu Song for a few months, recognizing Wu Song as a registered disciple. It's the old thing.
When Mr. Zhou heard this, he looked at Li Zhong carefully, "Are you Xiao Zhongzi?" β
Li Zhong hurriedly nodded and said yes.
Mr. Zhou paused for a moment, remembering the past, and couldn't help shedding two lines of heroic tears. "A few of my foolish apprentices, who did not listen to the advice of their teacher, were blinded by the word 'righteousness', so that they died young, and the white-headed man sent the black-headed man, which is really bitter."
Ladies and gentlemen: Zhou Tong's apprentices are as follows
The eldest apprentice, Lu Junyi
Second apprentice Lin Chong
Three apprentices Shi Wengong
Four apprentices Luan Tingyu
Five apprentices Sun Li
Six apprentices Wu Song
Little apprentice Yue Fei
Yue Fei and Li Zhong didn't dare to say anything, and after a long time, Mr. Zhou calmed down and said to Li Zhong: "The old man has lost his temper, Xiaozhongzi, you come here, what's the matter?" β
Li Zhong said respectfully: "The kid came here, mainly to visit the teacher, and I wish the teacher good health. In addition, there may be bandits in Qilin Mountain, I hope the teacher can teach us to protect the lives of the villagers. β
Zhou Tong nodded and agreed: "When the road is uneven, it is the duty of us and other martial arts practitioners to draw a sword to help, plus I have been in this village for some time, even if the neighbors are a little unwelcome, I still want to help and contribute." β
Li Zhong and Zhang Yi were overjoyed and hurriedly returned to the village to inform the elders.
The elders in the village were very surprised to learn that the "Tian" teacher of the Imperial Boxing Gym was in the village, and they hurriedly changed their clothes, brought gifts, and led a group of people to see Zhou Dong to ask for guilt.
The villagers were clumsy, so they asked the fathers and elders to accompany Zhou Dong to talk, and the rest of the people cleaned up the objects in Zhou Dong's house and moved them back to the Ah Gong house in the ancestral hall in the village.
Ladies and gentlemen, Ah Gong House is the place where the village is prepared for the court officials to collect public grain, and it is the most luxurious house in the village.
Zhou Dong knew that these countrymen were kind-hearted, so they let everyone return to the village and live in the public house.
After tidying up, the fathers and elders invited Zhou Dong to the ancestral hall to take a seat.
After the ceremony, the fathers and elders proposed to let Mr. Zhou teach the children in the village to defend against grass bandits.
Zhou Tong replied: "The old man has already accepted seven apprentices in his life, Yue Fei is my apprentice in the mountain, and I will not accept apprentices in the future." However, the children in the village can be taught by Yue Fei, and I can also help with the rest of the things. β
Ladies and gentlemen: Zhou Tong has a far-sighted vision, knowing that Yue Fei will establish his own foundation in the future, and the soldiers of Qilin Village are the best choice, and this arrangement can make these soldiers mainly focus on Yue Fei since they were young, bringing great prestige to Yue Fei.
When the fathers and elders heard what Zhou Tong said, they had also seen Yue Fei's skills at noon, so they relieved themselves and left happily.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
When it was time to study in the evening, Yue Fei asked about Mr. Zhou's past. Mr. said with a smile: "Fame and fortune are all fleeting, just like falling flowers and flowing water, cultivators, don't take this seriously." β
Yue Fei asked about the deeds of several senior brothers. The gentleman sighed and said: "Your senior brothers, Shi Wen Gongcai was obsessed with money, and I secretly abolished them, captured by Lu Junyi, and died in Liangshan. Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Sun Li and Wu Song were deceived by the word "righteousness" and deceived by Hei Saburo Song Jiang, and the three died in vain; Wu Song escaped with his life, but lost his arms and became a monk in the Liuhe Temple by the Qiantang River. Luan Tingyu was trapped by the word "love", Zhujiazhuang battled, Luan Tingyu was deceived by the wisdom of the star Wu with the strategy of "diverting the tiger from the mountain", and when he returned to the village, his fiancΓ©e Hu Sanniang had been married by the bantam tiger Wang Ying, and he was defeated by Lin Chong and Sun Li joined forces, and he was angry and fell to the end of the world, and he was nowhere to be found. I have been invincible all my life, and it is a joke that most of the apprentices I taught were destroyed at the hands of a little priest who was powerless. β
Yue Fei didn't want to arouse Mr.'s sadness anymore, so he changed the topic and told Mr. in detail about the battle with the two sect leaders at noon.
After hearing this, the gentleman asked Yue Fei: "You actually want to ask why the teacher didn't teach you how to play, right?" β
Yue Fei saw that his careful thinking was seen through by Mr., so he had no choice but to nod yes.
Mr. caressed Yue Fei's head lovingly, and said: You are the last apprentice of the teacher, and you are also the greatest hope for the teacher. I only teach you how to refine your body, and I don't teach you specific moves, because I don't want you to 'turn the effect into the cause'. β
"Reverse effect as cause?" Yue Fei didn't understand very well.
