Three people walking on the mountain road with a horse lantern, the surroundings are pitch black, the sky is cold, the steps on the mountain road are almost covered by snow, basically no longer see the appearance of the steps, only in the dim light of the horse lantern, can barely see a little trace of the surrounding mountain road, that foot down, are more than half a foot deep footprints, making it difficult for people to walk.

There were no stars and moonlight in the sky, only clouds like lead, and in the woods on both sides of the mountain road, there was no insect chirping, only the whistling of the cold wind.

Today's work is destined to be much more difficult than in the past, and it is not easy to take water up the mountain, if nothing else.

Yan Liqiang and the three of them each took a shovel from the yard for farm work, and shoveled away the snow from the mountain road as they went up the mountain, revealing a path that could barely allow people to go up and down the mountain and settle down.

Yan Liqiang walked in front of the road, under his brute force, he inserted a shovel into the snow, used the side of the shovel to stick to the steps, and then pushed horizontally, a large pile of snow was lifted by him to the slope next to the mountain road, Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng next to him used the shovel to clear the left and right, a step is almost good and can barely leave, and then Yan Liqiang took another step forward, and then swept out a step out, and the three of them walked up step by step, heading towards the top of the mountain.

"The miscellaneous surnamed Huo, when Lao Tzu comes to the Sword God Sect one day, he will definitely not be spared......" Gu Zexuan scolded and scolded while doing it, "It's also polite and strong, you have a good temper, you can last this kind of work for so many months, if you want to change to me, it is estimated that you won't be able to do it in seven days......"

"Today's mountain road is a little more difficult to walk, there is no such weekdays" Yan Liqiang used a shovel to push the snow on the mountain road into a mess, while calmly saying, just advanced to the samurai, Yan Liqiang feels that his whole body now seems to have inexhaustible strength, body, hands, eyes, coordination, this snow shoveling up the mountain, under his hands, is like sweeping the leaves with a broom, very easy, and does not feel difficult, the changes between the days, it is just like he has just passed the horse step pass, the whole person is completely different.

After cleaning the latrine in the past few months, Yan Liqiang's biggest receipt is that he found that the so-called cultivation can be fully integrated into life, and as long as he has the heart, he can find ways to improve himself everywhere.

For example, when he went up the water mountain, after a few months, Yan Liqiang felt that his strength, reaction, pace, and physical fitness had completely gone up a big step, and his Nine Palace Wind Shadow Step and Tiger Roar Serial Fist had unconsciously improved a realm in this case, and his hands, eyes, legs, and body were more coordinated, even when he was cleaning the toilet, Yan Liqiang could let go of the anxiety in his heart little by little, and became extremely calm and serious.

This work is said to be miscellaneous labor, but Yan Liqiang sees it as cultivation.

Just like at this moment, Yan Liqiang was shoveling the snow, and the moment he inserted the shovel into the snow, he used the calligraphy of marksmanship, and swept away the snow retreat, using the blocking technique of marksmanship, these are the basic skills of the three-character technique of marksmanship.

Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng didn't find Yan Liqiang's abnormality, they didn't know that just a day later, Yan Liqiang had already advanced to a samurai, the two of them were behind Yan Liqiang, but they just felt that the strength in Yan Liqiang's hands seemed to be a little strange, every time they cleared out a step, Yan Liqiang's movements were crisp and neat, like flowing water, and there was actually a pleasing sense of rhythm.

In this way, in the middle of the night, the three of them forcibly shoveled a way up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain.

When they came to the thatched toilet on the mountain, the eyelashes of the three people were covered with ice and snow, and Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng were extremely surprised when they saw the thatched toilet in person, because this thatched toilet was completely different from the thatched toilet they imagined, it was so clean that the two of them wondered if someone had cleaned it.

Not only was the toilet clean, but it also didn't smell bad.

"Could it be that someone has cleaned this latrine?" Gu Zexuan looked at Yan Liqiang in surprise, "Senior brother on Tianqiao Peak, can't he bear to see you work so hard and clean the latrine himself?"

Yan Liqiang smiled, "I haven't cleaned it yet!"

"How is it so clean?"

"If you want to know why, then go down the mountain with me to fetch water, let's talk on the way!" Yan Liqiang laughed, he put down a bunch of tools in his hand, carried two buckets, and a lamp hung on the buckets, and walked down the mountain, Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng each carried buckets and followed.

With Yan Liqiang's current eyesight, he feels that he can see the way up the mountain even if he doesn't use a lantern, but when he doesn't want to expose his ability, many times, especially when the weather is bad, he will still carry a lantern, which is a tool to hide people's eyes.

"Liqiang, why do you say this toilet is so clean?" Zhao Huipeng, who usually rarely speaks, asked curiously after catching up, Gu Zexuan also pricked up his ears all of a sudden, wanting to hear what Yan Liqiang had to say.

"My grandfather was a tour of Fang Langzhong, going south and north, once found a very interesting thing, once he went to a small town, he found that next to the inn where he was, there were two carriages that I don't know whose it was, and they stopped next to the inn together, the two carriages, one was intact and clean, and one was a little old, and the window of the carriage was broken a hole, and it was not repaired......" Yan Liqiang's head just turned slightly, and he put the classic "broken window theory" that he knew in his previous life It was described in a context that Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng could understand.

After talking about the broken window theory, Yan Liqiang concluded, "Therefore, if you want to make this latrine so clean, the easiest way is to clean the latrine cleaner than this, and the people who come to the latrine will naturally pay attention to it at any time and will not stain the latrine, if the latrine is dirty, then the people who come here will pay less attention to it, and it doesn't matter if it is dirty, this is people's psychological ......"

Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng listened to Yan Liqiang's words so interestingly, they both listened to it with relish and shouted interestingly, after listening, Gu Zexuan slapped his hands happily, " I know, the so-called strong are always strong, and the weak are always weak, is this also the truth, for the strong, such as those personal disciples and core disciples of the Sword God Sect, such as Qijie Sanying, the people around them are going to tie up one by one, give them good resources, good cultivation conditions, they will naturally become stronger and stronger, and for example, for example, those of us who have no background outside disciples, anyone can come and step on it, and after a long time, it will become weaker and weaker......"

"The truth is pretty much the same, but we're not broken cars!" Yan Liqiang smiled. The car is broken, and the car itself can't make the broken place better, but as human beings, we can strive for self-improvement, and we can make ourselves better and better, just like the one surnamed Huo sent me here to clean the latrine, if I feel sorry for myself, the daily work is done ordinarily, sloppy, this thatched toilet on Qiaofeng that day has become my first broken window in the Sword God Sect, seeing this broken window, anyone can come to step on me in the future, but if I make up the broken window, and do my best to make it up with gold and silver, who will dare to step on me for no reason in the future？”

"I'm convinced!" Gu Zexuan sighed, "I didn't expect that this simple cleaning of a thatched toilet can make you realize so many truths, I used to wonder why you cleaned a thatched toilet, how can you be so dedicated, it turns out that you have your own hills and valleys in your heart, and I am lonely and unheard......"

Zhao Huipeng looked at Yan Liqiang with admiration, his eyes were shining, and his expression was a little excited.

......

When I came to the small stream at the bottom of the mountain that usually drew water, because the stream flowed relatively slowly, the stream and the mountains were frozen, and Yan Liqiang used stones to chisel the ice surface to smoothly hit the water.

The three of them fetched water, then carried it up the mountain together, and then came down to fetch water......

It didn't take half an hour for three people to fill the water tank in the latrine after a few runs, and the filled water tank was only half an hour, and a small layer of ice formed on the water surface.

Three people broke the ice and continued to dry.

Although Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng came to clean the toilet for the first time, the two of them were inspired by Yan Liqiang's story, and they both worked with Yan Liqiang enthusiastically.

"Liqiang, I found out that Zhao Huipeng and I have fallen for you, the vinegar you let the two of us get out to get rid of the smell of the toilet, after it is brewed, all of it is used by you, these days the two of us took the vinegar to the market, and not a single bottle was sold......" Gu Zexuan, who was rubbing the floor of the toilet with vinegar mixed with water, suddenly came to his senses.

"Hahaha......" Yan Liqiang smiled, "If you want to sell ground vinegar, you still need someone to advertise ground vinegar......"

"Ah, what an advertisement!"

"It's just to advertise it, wait and see, this can't be rushed......"

......

When the three of them completely cleaned up the latrine and walked out of the latrine, it was still a little dark outside, but when the three of them came out of the latrine, Yan Liqiang found that there was already a person standing outside the latrine.

That person was a bald-headed, bearded, looking in his fifties, and he didn't feel cold on a cold day, so he casually stood outside the toilet in an open-chested shirt, and glanced at the three people who came out of the toilet with burning eyes, and finally stared at Yan Liqiang's face with blazing eyes.

Just when Yan Liqiang was still guessing who this person was, Gu Zexuan next to him had already changed his face, and hurriedly gave a big salute to that person, "Outer disciple Gu Zexuan has seen the master of the Su Hall......

Hearing that this person was actually the hall master in the Sword God Sect, Yan Liqiang and Zhao Huipeng did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly gave a salute.

The man smiled slightly and looked at Yan Liqiang, "Since you started cleaning the latrine on Tianqiao Peak, for a hundred days, there has not been a single day of slacking off, you have cleaned the latrine here so clean every day, isn't it too dirty, not too tired?"

"The senior brothers on Tianqiao Peak are not dirty at all in my eyes, so I don't feel dirty and tired to serve the senior brothers on Tianqiao Peak, I just want to do what I can do well!" Yan Liqiang said calmly.

"Hahaha, that's a good point......" The Su Hall Master laughed, "From tomorrow, you will change your errand, we still lack a deacon on Tianqiao Peak, I think it's you, you can go to the Gray Coat Hall to go through the formalities this afternoon......"
