The autumn scenery is heavy, and the night is already deep.

The entire snowy area of ​​the airplane was already chilling.

In the early morning, the east is not yet white.

With a creaking sound, Tang Gu pushed the door open early in the morning next to a remote thatched house outside Shiyan Town.

Putting on the only light gray cloth shirt he could take, Tang Gu got up and walked towards the center of Shiyan Town.

The streets paved with bluestone are filled with coldness, and people step on them. The pair of ordinary straw sandals under Tang Gu's feet, which are only made of some thin straw ropes, cannot resist the cold at all.

Even though he was as firm as he was, his body could not help but tremble, and he felt the coldness under the soles of his feet.

However, even though it was so cold, his waist was still straight. His face had obviously become slightly pale, but his expression still seemed very calm and he didn't take it seriously at all.

Obviously, he had already gotten used to this bitter and cold.

I silently recited a few simple formulas circulating in the martial arts hall, and led the small amount of inner breath in my body from my dantian to my feet.

After waiting for his feet, Tang Gu immediately walked forward without hesitation.

A moment later, Tang Gu came to the gate of a manor with red paint and double lacquer.

Standing silently in front of the manor gate, looking up at the place where a huge blue stone tablet stood.

On the blue stone tablet, there were about twenty large characters engraved with sharp tools: "The sun, moon, mountains and rivers are suitable for movement and stillness, the nature of nature is natural, the realm of life, the movement is as good as the heart, and the peak of the martial arts realm."

Every word is about a foot long, with dragons hiding and snakes walking, cranes dancing and apes running, and they are all clear, thin and stubborn, showing their character.

This was engraved by Mr. Qiu Xiwu, who was at the peak of the sixth level of the airway, thirty years ago, and later served as the inscription of the "Qiudao Martial Arts Academy".

The rumors not only contain the lifelong insights of Mr. Qiu Xiwu, but also the various life realms and secrets of martial arts that he has experienced for decades, ups and downs and downs, and various twists and turns.

However, over the past thirty years, there have been more people passing by this stone tablet, but there are not a single one who can understand it.

In the early morning, no disciples got up at the "Autumn Martial Arts Academy". Tang Gu stood under this bluestone and stayed for a stick of incense. If the disciples in the courtyard discovered it, it would be very strange.

There was a bright light in his eyes, as if he was slowly wandering along the handwriting on the stone tablet, one by one, like a dragon and a snake, and a variety of songs, giving people a very strange feeling.

The faint light flashed by chance, giving people a very sharp and dazzling feeling, like a sword light.

At this moment, the sound of the bed turning sounded in the courtyard. Although it was still early, some diligent disciples had already begun to get up and prepare to wash and practice.

Hearing the sound, Tang Gu, who had been standing still, changed his face suddenly. He hurriedly lowered his head, reached out to take out a thick iron key from his arms, walked up to open the yard door, and went in.

When he entered the yard, the light of sword-like light in his eyes just now had completely disappeared and disappeared, as if it had never existed.

He became an ordinary, ordinary servile disciple.

Instead of going to the martial arts training ground, he bypassed directly, passed a tortuous outer courtyard corridor, and came to a servitor room in the side courtyard.

Taking out the wooden barrel, pumping the spring water, and then walking back to the front yard, Tang Gu began to silently clean the dust and fallen leaves on the ground of the martial arts practice ground.

After a night, the originally clean and tidy martial arts training ground has added a huge batch of new leaves.

Since the beginning of autumn, Tang Gu's daily tasks have undoubtedly become much heavier.

However, he never complained, and he was on time and did his best every day.

After a moment, the entire martial arts square was renewed again, clean and tidy, without a trace of dust, and everywhere was cleaned and wiped clean by Tang Gu.

Even the few stone bricks that were damaged due to martial arts competition yesterday were taken out from the chore room in the side courtyard to replace and pave it.

After cleaning all eighteen weapons next to him, Tang Gu only then picked up the miscellaneous bag beside him and prepared to walk out of the yard to fall out.

At this moment, a thick and generous young man in blue clothes walked by. When he saw Tang Gu, he couldn't help but grin: "Tang Gu, you are here again, why are you always so early?"

This young man with thick blue shirt, named Yan Shan, is the third young disciple in the outer courtyard of the "Qiudao Martial Arts Academy". He is also recognized as the most diligent disciple of the outer courtyard. The sound of the bed turning just now, which was made by Tang Gu.

Tang Gu knew that every day before dawn, he would get up on time and go to the top of the "Shouyang Mountain" fifteen miles away from the town to practice his "Seven Steps King Fist".

"Seven Steps King Fist", also known as "Lieyang King Fist", is a famous one-grade high-level boxing technique in the "Qiudao Martial Arts Academy". Apart from just three or five extreme boxing techniques, there are basically no opponents.

Among the nearly 100 disciples of the outer academy in the entire "Qiudao Martial Arts Academy", only Yan Shan, who is the most powerful and born with divine power, can successfully practice this boxing technique.

This boxing technique is as fierce as thunder, its momentum is like a knife, its hair is like a fierce sun rising into the sky, and its speed is like a fierce tiger going down the mountain. With a huge opening and closing, it is extremely powerful.

Only when practicing, one needs a special environment, and must have a wide terrain and a strong sunshine. In the entire Shiyan Town, only Shouyang Mountain, fifteen miles away from the city, is most suitable for these conditions.

Therefore, every day before dawn, Yan Shan would get up early and travel for fifteen miles in a row. When he arrived at Shouyang Mountain, it was the time when the sun was the strongest in the day, which was just right for him to practice.

He won't come back until dusk is approaching.

It is precisely because of this that even he realized that he must be the most diligent person in the outer courtyard.

But what frustrated him was that every time he got up, washed up and was about to go out, he would always encounter Tang Gu who had finished all his work and was about to go out to dump the garbage.

This made him feel that no matter how hard he tried, he was not as good as a servile disciple in the outer courtyard.

Fortunately, he also knew that Tang Gu was just here to clean the garbage and was not an introductory disciple of the outer courtyard at all. He didn't even know a martial arts skills, so he didn't have much jealous thoughts.

He looked at Tang Gu and kindly reminded: "Tang Gu, I know that you have a difficult life and are afraid of losing this job, but in fact, you don't have to come so early every time.

Now the weather is getting colder and you are not wearing much clothes. Those guys, if you want to really start getting up and practicing, they will have to wait for another one or two minutes, and it will be fine if you come one or two minutes later. Although I get up early every day, I never practice in the martial arts field in the courtyard, so you don’t have to be so anxious at all.”

When Tang Gu heard this, he knew that Yan Shan was just kind-hearted. Although he had his own reasons, he was not going to say it explicitly.

Immediately nodded and asked aside, "Thank you, Senior Brother Yan, for your concern, but it's okay, it's the same as soon as you are sooner or later. Maybe, there will always be one or two senior brothers who want to be diligent. If I haven't finished cleaning at that time, I will be scolded again."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shan immediately knew what he was referring to, and he couldn't help but frown.

Speaking of Tang Gu's serious work, he has long heard of the entire outer courtyard. No one can find any problem, but there are always exceptions in everything.

In the outer courtyard, there was a person who always disliked Tang Gu. Every time he got up, he had to pick on it. Sometimes he said that it was not clean and asked to sweep it again. Sometimes he said that there was something wrong there and asked to fix it.

He is a discerning person, and he can see that he is deliberately looking for trouble.

This person who often deliberately looks for Tang Gubu is named Wang Zheng, and is also a disciple of the outer courtyard. His strength is ordinary, but he is only middle-aged and upper-middle.

However, he relied on his uncle who worked in the outer courtyard, but he was always humble to everyone.

In the entire "Qiudao Martial Arts Academy", there were countless people who were scolded by him, and everyone dared not speak out. However, his uncle Wang Zhenwu was one of the two managers in the outer courtyard.

If they had not suffered too much grievance, the disciples of the outer courtyard would not really be willing to go against him, so they could only swallow their anger.

However, there were a few people who Wang Zheng dared not provoke, and Yan Shan was one of them.

A person like him has amazing strength and high talent, and is destined to enter the inner courtyard in the future.

Although Wang Zhenwu is also a manager of the outer court and has a high status, he is not worth mentioning in front of a disciple of the inner court.

However, unless necessary, Yan Shan doesn't want to have a stalemate with Wang Zhenwu for the time being. After all, before entering the inner courtyard, some elixirs and benefits still need to be distributed from Wang Zhenwu.

So, Yan Shan sighed, looked at Tang Gu with some pity, and said helplessly: "Forget it, let it go, it's better to be careful in everything, so he has no excuses."

"Okay, I'm going out to practice. Take care of yourself, please."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the gate of the Martial Arts Academy.

However, when he walked seven or eight feet away, he couldn't help but pause, as if he had thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and turned around and said, "If Wang Zheng still causes trouble for you for no reason and can't bear it, I'll report my name."

After saying that, he left the yard without looking back and headed towards the east of the town.

In the blink of an eye, the rough and bold figure, which was light blue, disappeared completely.

Originally, when Tang Gu heard the words in front of him, he had just lowered his head slightly. However, after hearing the last words that Yan Shan had bounced out before leaving, Tang Gu couldn't help but look forward suddenly and looked forward in disbelief.

There, Yan Shan's figure had already disappeared completely, but the words were still in my ears, but there was no mistake. In an instant, a faint warm current surged in Tang Gu's heart.

"Wang Zheng?"

He said in his heart that although he didn't care about this person, some of the small grievances were completely insignificant in his eyes.

But Yan Shan’s intention is real.

Not every disciple of the outer courtyard is willing to risk offending Wang Zheng, who is also a disciple of the outer courtyard for the sake of a low-level servant like him, as others, and also the danger of offending Wang Zhenwu, the manager of the martial arts academy behind Wang Zheng.
