Chapter 6: Tempering

"Senior Brother Zhou Tong, hello, are you used to the life of the Taoist temple now?" I saw Senior Brother Liu Wenyan with a happy face facing Zhou Tong.

"Thank you senior brother for your concern! I'm used to it, I didn't expect Mo Ziqian to move very fast! Zhou Tong thanked him.

Liu Wenyan looked puzzled, "Mo Ziqian, what did you say? He didn't look for me!

Zhou Tong was a little surprised: "Eh!~ Coincidentally, he only agreed to pass the word for me yesterday, but I didn't expect you to happen to come today." It's not really a big deal, but it's important to me, like the agreement between us......"

"Agreed?" Liu Wenyan was very puzzled, looked at Zhou Tong's somewhat unhappy face, and hurriedly comforted him: "Senior brother, let senior brother think about it, senior brother has been busy with mundane things recently, be considerate!"

"Oh!—"

Suddenly, Liu Wenyan pointed a finger to the sky, and his face suddenly realized.

Zhou Tong was overjoyed and approached Liu Wenyan and asked, "Do you think of it?"

Who knows, Liu Wenyan spread his hands and the corners of his mouth drooped. "Didn't think of it!"

Zhou Tong angrily threw the broom in his hand into Liu Wenyan's hand, "I can't think of it, because I didn't mention it." ”

"Senior brother, don't be angry, senior brother! I'm joking with you, do you mean the agreement that taught you to volley step?"

"Wow! You're kidding me. Zhou Tong couldn't cry or laugh.

Liu Wenyan had a villain face and was triumphant. "Isn't it my way!" and then asked, "Hasn't Uncle Guanyue started teaching you to practice yet?"

"Haha! hahaha! It's strange to teach. My master has adopted sheep-herding management for me, so it's no wonder that I am the only disciple under the seat. These days, I'm sweeping the floor and doing coolies every day!" Zhou Tong teased with a wry smile.

"Sheep herding management??coolie?huh...... Why did Senior Brother Zhou say this?" Liu Wenyan felt that his words were very funny.

"Sheep herding management! Don't you see that I'm like this now? Indulge and let it go. You see, my master didn't teach me anything other than to sweep the floor, isn't it obvious that I'm a free handyman......," Zhou Tong grumbled.

Liu Wenyan saw Zhou Tong's exaggerated performance, it was really like a thing, he smiled, and then cleared his throat.

Zhou Tong suddenly stopped his gushing bitter water.

"Senior Brother Zhou, in fact, when I first entered the Taoist Temple, I also worked as a free handyman for a period of time, in fact, it is not much worse than then, I am now wearing many hats! I think you must have also heard the rumors of my master, all the junior disciples will push me big and small things to report to the master, often baked by the flames of the master's tongue, to be honest, there will be internal injuries. I won't survive it!" Liu Wenyan finished holding his heart in pain, and then patted his chest.

Zhou Tong is now somewhat sympathetic to Liu Wenyan's 'tragic experience'. "Alas!~ Sympathy for the same fate......"

"Hey!-" Liu Wenyan cut off the conversation, "Actually, it's the same person's fate! Your master is a hundred times stronger than my master." It's good to get through this time, these chores that you see as heavy are actually helping you lay the groundwork and hone your will and stamina. Tell you secretly!" Liu Wenyan suddenly covered his mouth with one hand and mysteriously lowered his voice.

Zhou Tong looked at him like this, and couldn't help but be cautious, thinking that what Liu Wenyan was about to tell him was the top secret of the Woxian Taoist Temple, but what Zhou Tong came to his mouth and heard was, "Your master, Uncle Guanyue, is the senior brother among all the uncles, his skills are unfathomable, and he also knows some strange and interesting Qimen Dunjia." I guess it's the good fortune of your ancestors who have accumulated virtue in your ten lifetimes! You should know how to do it without me teaching you, right?"

"Who knows if it's true or fake?" Zhou Tong looked disdainful.

Liu Wenyan laughed and shook his head, "Haha...... Since I have promised you before that I will teach you 'volley step', you must not lose your trust, so be it! Five days later, I will teach you in this grove on the night of the third watch. ”

What Zhou Tong didn't expect was that what awaited him the day after he met Liu Wenyan was a more miserable and hardest life.

The next day, Zhou Tong 'second' saw his "amiable" white-bearded old man, no, it was Master Whitebeard, he was summoned by the master, this time the moon-watching Taoist smiled a little weirdly, a little old fox.

Zhou Tong hurriedly cheered up, "Master, what are the instructions for calling the disciple here?"

The head of the moon-watching Daoist looked at Zhou Tong with a smile, "Zhou Tong! As a teacher, I wondered, how about compensating you like this?"

When Zhou Tong saw this scene, he couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart. Could it be that the sun is rising in the west? He looked up at the sky, no, isn't the sun hanging in the east very well! Could it be that yesterday's conversation with Liu Wenyan happened to be overheard by the master? Or did Liu Wenyan go to the master to make a small report? I still have to be careful......!" Master, you haven't ignored the apprentice, have you been too worried? Or is it gossip that Master heard from somewhere? Is there someone misleading it?"

The moon-watching Taoist paused slightly, with a questioning look on his face. "Zhou Tong, is there really not? Don't be deceived as a teacher!-"

Zhou Tong hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, and said with a serious face: "Don't dare to lie!"

The head of the moon viewing road frowned slightly, and said to Zhou Tong meaningfully: "Whether the teacher ignores you or not, the teacher wants to compensate you well......"

Zhou Tong opened his mouth to refuse, "Master, I ......"

“...... Zhou Tong! From today onwards, in addition to cleaning the courtyard, you must also remember to carry water from the stream at the foot of the mountain every day, and remember! You must fill three large tanks! By the way, you must also chop 30 catties of firewood. That's it!" After the Moon Viewing Daoist finished explaining to himself, he waved his sleeves and walked away in a dashing manner.

Under the blazing sun, a cold wind gently blew past Zhou Tong, and after listening to what the master said about 'compensation', his eyes were dull and his chin drooped. A mischievous little beetle wandered around Zhou Tong's mouth and then left......

A heavy object crashed to the ground.

Zhou Tong was tired and had a sore back, but his mouth was not idle. Others may not understand, they are tired like this, what are they talking about?

Zhou Tongzheng spared no effort to curse his master, Guanyue Dao Chief. "Dead old man, stinky old man......"

When sweeping floors......

Zhou Tong took the broom and scolded while sweeping, "Dead old man, stinky old man......"

Rugged trails in the mountains......

Zhou Tong carried the heavy wooden barrel on his back, walked the stairs with difficulty, and scolded in his panting mouth: "Death, dead old man, stinking... Stinky old man......"

In the woods......

Zhou Tong picked up the giant axe and slashed at the branch viciously, shouting: "Dead old man, stinky old man......"

At night, Zhou Tong lay down on the bed softly. Sleeping...... His mouth is still scolding: "Dead old man, stinky old man......"
