Chapter 339 Blood Pixiu Shi Wengong, the double-edged sword of self-esteem
Zhou Tong looked at the man galloping towards him on horseback, and his thoughts suddenly returned to the time when he had just accepted three close disciples.
Zhou Tong, who had wandered around the world and devoted himself to martial arts, was a teacher at the Royal Boxing Hall in the capital. He was dedicated to cultivating talents for the country. Not only did he contribute a lot to standardizing the martial arts training routines in the army, but he also wanted to pass on all he had learned in his life to Lu Junyi.
Shi Wengong and his son Zhou Yunqing.
However, his beloved son Zhou Yunqing later died in the Song-Xia War. Most of Zhou Tong's friends in Bianjing were also exiled from the army due to involvement in the old and new party disputes. Although Zhou Tong was highly respected in the world, in the eyes of the high officials in the court, he was
He was just a reckless man who didn't belong to the mainstream. Zhou Tong became more and more dissatisfied and had to resign and go into seclusion, wandering around the world again.
Frustrated, Zhou Dong pinned all his long-cherished wishes on his two disciples, Lu Junyi and Shi Wengong. However, as the only son of a wealthy family in Damingfu, Hebei Province, Lu Junyi not only wanted to inherit the family business, but he also had no intention of joining the increasingly decadent and rotten world.
Officials and soldiers were given honorary titles. Shi Wengong had a rebellious temperament. He could not stand being bossed around by others. How could he be willing to accept the arrogance of a superior officer in the marching army?
As a result, the emotional rift between Zhou Tong and Lu Junyi and Shi Wengong became deeper and deeper. Fortunately, he met Yue Fei, a talented person who was very consistent with his ambition and temperament. The aging Zhou Tong was as gray as ashes.
His heart seemed to be burning again. He knew that he had definitely not misjudged the person this time. Regardless of his talent and character, Yue Fei had the quality of a jade in the rough. He would definitely become a famous general of the Song Dynasty like the Nirvana General Di Qing.
, as the foster father and mentor of this famous general, only when he can be passed down to history can Zhou Tong fulfill his lifelong wish.
Later, he accepted Xiao Tang, who was both his teacher and friend, and praised him highly, and Xiao Tang, who had made many military exploits in conquering the giant bandits and pacifying the west of the capital, as his disciple, which made Zhou Tong even more satisfied. Now he lives in the Xiao family.
Although Zhou Tong taught his adopted son Yue Fei the skills, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, and Tang Huai were naughty, Zhou Tong could not only reprimand and teach, but also regain some of the fulfillment of teaching skills to apprentices. Xiao Tang recommended
The Niu Gao who came here has a straightforward and open-minded temperament, amazing supernatural powers, and is also a good young man in martial arts. What Zhou Tong wants now is to train these rising stars into good generals who can assist his adopted son.
As for his close disciple Lu Junyi, he has been very filial to him these days. People have their own wishes and don't force them. Zhou Tong gradually thought about it. The conflict between their master and disciple was also because Zhou Tong put his own wishes into practice.
The will was imposed on his disciples. Now that their master and disciple are in Daming Mansion, Lu Junyi is also committed to repairing the relationship between him and his mentor. Although Zhou Tong is still cold-faced, he will not reject Lu Junyi's kindness.
outside.
But Zhou Tong's other disciple Shi Wengong was definitely different.
The reason why Zhou Tong accepted Lu Junyi and Shi Wengong as his disciples was not only because they were both talented and good at martial arts, but also because Lu Junyi had an arrogant temperament, while Shi Wengong was much more competitive than his senior brother. The two of them were extremely angry.
Gao Yixin wanted to develop the ability to intimidate all the heroes in the green forest, so he kept practicing martial arts all day long, and became a martial artist who had been fighting in the martial arts world for many years.
But as the two of them grew up, Zhou Tong finally saw clearly the personality differences between his two apprentices: Lu Junyi's arrogance stemmed from his self-confidence. He was born in a wealthy family and had a majestic and handsome appearance.
He considers himself to be more capable than others, and he is calm and confident in his words and deeds; however, Shi Wengong is competitive but full of aggression, and with a strong self-esteem, he will regard all negations imposed on him by the outside world as insults to him.
Therefore, when Zhou Tong taught these two disciples their civil and military skills, he was severely criticized. Although Lu and Shi would work harder and harder, the attitude Lu Junyi wanted to convey to Zhou Tong was: Master, this disciple did the right thing;
But what Shi Wengong wanted to tell Zhou Tong was: Master, you are totally wrong in scolding your disciple...
When the two mastered their martial arts skills, Lu Junyi, who was majestic and god-like, was praised as the "Jade Unicorn" by people in the world, while Shi Wengong's nickname was called "Blood Pixiu". It was precisely because people in the world respected him.
Although Shi Wengong, who is as famous as Yu Qilin, is self-willed and unruly, he is just like the reincarnation of Pixiu who has no way out. When arguing with others, he only wants to gain the upper hand and cannot tolerate any idleness.
When he parted ways with his two disciples, Lu Junyi and Shi Wengong, and the gap became deeper and deeper, Zhou Tong also knew in his heart that there was still room for maneuver in the relationship between him and Lu Junyi. However, according to Shi Wengong's temperament, there was no relationship between his master and his disciples.
Because Zhou Tong and his two beloved disciples broke up because neither of them wanted to join the army to serve the country, then when Shi Wengong appeared in front of him again, it must have been just to let him, his former master, know how well he lived.
Come and tell him as you please: Master, don’t you look down on your disciple? You are wrong again.
I'm afraid you came here to express greetings and demonstrations...
At this time, Shi Wengong and his sworn brother from Zengtou City rode in front of Zhou Tong like a whirlwind. Shi Wengong was riding on the horse, looking down at his former mentor, with a slight smile on his face.
He said without smiling: "Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing?"
Wang Jin frowned when he saw him. How could any disciple be so rude when greeting his master? It seems that there is a deep gap between Senior Zhou and his disciple, but this person is also too disrespectful.
The teacher is serious!
And when Yue Fei saw Shi Wengong's attitude towards Zhou Tong, his face suddenly seemed to be covered with a layer of frost! Yue Fei, who followed the etiquette and prudence, treated Zhou Tong, his adopted father, as filial and loving as his own biological father. At this time, in his heart
I thought: This person is not Lu Yuanwai from Daming Mansion, nor is he Brother Xiao who later joined his adoptive father, nor is he Brother Hua Rong who has a master-disciple relationship with his adoptive father, so this person is undoubtedly his adoptive father.
Shi Wengong was mentioned occasionally... but I didn't expect that he was such a rebellious person and worthy of being his adoptive father's disciple!?
Zhou Tong's face was calm, and he said calmly: "I still have breath. If you come to pay tribute, it is too early."
Shi Wengong laughed coldly. After he got off his horse, he said to Zhou Tong: "What did the master say? My disciple worked as a teacher in Zengtou City, Dezhou. Later I heard that the master lived in seclusion in Xiaojiaji. After all, there are masters and disciples."
Since we are so affectionate, we have to come and pay a visit, right?"
Zhou Tong snorted heavily and said: "Now that you have seen it, you can go back if you have nothing else to do!"
Shi Wengong looked at Yue Fei, Wang Gui and the others. He shook his head and said, "Master was a teacher at the Royal Boxing Hall of the Capital and was famous in the world. The disciple thought that Xiao Tang used his brother's favor to invite Master.
I came to settle in this market town to rely on my master's ability. Now it seems that my master is living a leisurely and happy life, so my disciple can feel at ease."
Zhou Tong knew the implication of Shi Wengong's words, and he said cheerfully: "You don't need to worry about this matter! The master who teaches good disciples now is thousands of times better than the unscrupulous disciples he accepted in the past! "
Shi Wengong's expression darkened, and he looked at Yue Fei, Wang Gui and others who looked indignant. When Shi Wengong stared at the half-grown children for a moment, he suddenly burst into laughter again.
This is my master? This is Zhou Tong who was praised as the "iron arm of the Shaanxi hero"? This is Zhou Tong who was admired by heroes in the green forest and praised as Mount Tai and Beidou by people in the world of Jintai and Tan Zhengfang? To put it bluntly, After all, he is just a poor man who is still daydreaming despite being stepped on by the powerful. He will not achieve anything in his life and can only place all his wishes on future generations!
