A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice

Xiao Zongting actually began to praise Duan Rong. Several people did not expect it, and their expressions froze on their faces.

Duan Rong stood up, and Xiao Zongting walked over.

He stretched out his hand to pinch his shoulders, elbows and waist, nodded slightly, and then turned to Zhao Mu and said: "The two over there can go."

Zhao Mu heard this, walked in front of Zhang Zheng and Li Chong, and said: "You two did not make the selection. Let's go"

Although they were mentally prepared, when Zhao Mu announced it, the faces of the two were very ugly.

Kong Bin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Zheng's face changed, he stood up, and walked out of the courtyard.

Li Chong was stunned, like a puppet without a soul, slumped on the ground...

But no one present noticed him...

Xiao Zongting suddenly said to Duan Rong and Kong Bin who were standing, "You two go to the side yard and fetch two buckets of water from the well."

Duan Rong and Kong Bin didn't know what Xiao Zongting meant for a moment, but they didn't dare to ask, so they picked up the wooden barrel in the firewood room and went to the well in the next yard to fetch water.

"You go too, find two sacks and soak them in cold water for me." Xiao Zongting turned his head and looked at Zhao Mu beside him and ordered.

Zhao Mu heard this and immediately went to the firewood room to find two sacks and left the yard.

After a while, the three of them returned to the firewood room and stood in front of Xiao Zongting.

"You two, take off your clothes!" Xiao Zongting looked at Duan Rong and Kong Bin and said coldly.

"Ah... take off..." Duan Rong and Kong Bin thought they had heard it wrong.

"What? Take off your clothes, I don't understand!" Xiao Zongting was angry.

Duan Rong and Kong Bin immediately took off their clothes.

Duan Rong and Kong Bin were wearing the uniform brown shorts worn by the errand disciples. They took off their clothes and left only a pair of shorts that reached their thighs. They stood like quails with their arms folded.

Although it was early March, the weather in Qingzhou was still a bit cold, especially in the morning. The breeze was chilly.

Even though they were two young men, they still shivered when they stood shirtless like this...

Xiao Zongting took advantage of the two men's unpreparedness and took the two buckets of water they brought over and poured them over their heads.

The well water in the morning of March was bone-chillingly cold. When they were poured over their heads, they both jumped up with a wow, shivered all over, and immediately squatted down with their shoulders twitching.

When the cold water was poured over his head, Duan Rong felt as if his head was opened. Goose bumps appeared all over his body, and his teeth were chattering like a demon.

"Stand up, stand straight!" Xiao Zongting roared like an angry old lion.

Duan Rong and Kong Bin stood up while cursing Xiao Zongting's perversion.

The cold wind blew through the courtyard, and their lips had turned purple, and their snot was dripping like icicles.

Xiao Zongting glanced at Zhao Mu and said, "Put the soaked wet sack on them!"

Zhao Mu heard this and put the wet sack, which was soaked in cold water and dripping with water, on their shoulders.

Both of them shrank their shoulders and hid...

"This is an assessment. If you don't want to be selected as an apprentice, get out now and don't embarrass me here!" Xiao Zongting glared and cursed.

Duan Rong and Kong Bin had no choice but to let Zhao Mu put the wet bag on their shoulders. They immediately felt a strong cold air on their backs, invading their bones and flesh.

"You two start standing in the round pile now. Those who can dry the sacks in one hour will be qualified. Those who can't dry them will get out!"

"Ah..." The two were stunned when they heard this. They never thought that they could stand in the pile like this.

After Xiao Zongting finished speaking, he turned around and went to the stone steps at the entrance of the courtyard, sat down against the wall, and stuffed tobacco foam into the pipe.

Zhao Mu immediately lit the branch with a flint and lit it for Xiao Zongting.

When Xiao Zongting took the first puff of tobacco, Duan Rong and Kong Bin had already started standing in the pile.

After all, this is an assessment. If you fail, you have to go back to be a chores disciple.

No one dared to neglect it.

Just now, I was cursing Xiao Zongting for being a pervert in my heart, but now that I know it is an assessment project, even the original curse has stopped.

Both of them started, naked, wearing only shorts, standing in the round stance, but their whole bodies were still trembling...

They stood there trembling, with their legs bent and their hands clasped in front of their chests, and they were all wet and covered with sacks. If you didn't know, you would think this was some kind of performance art?

But after only one stick of incense, white air began to slightly emerge from Duan Rong's head, and Kong Bin stopped shivering, and his pale face returned to normal.

The standing stance had an effect, and the coldness around the body slowly dissipated, and gradually became warm.

But only the coldness on the back was too heavy, and the heat could not dissipate...

Duan Rong closed his eyes and stood in the stance, thinking.

Duan Rong found that he could actually understand what Xiao Zongting meant.

Just like in the previous life, if you learn a subject well, you can even understand the intention of the test setter in the examination room.

Let them do a routine first, and try it out.

This is to test their ability to comprehend martial arts moves, and whether they can combine the way of exerting force with the moves and routines well. This is to test your ability to comprehend the method of fighting.

Now, he and Kong Bin are standing naked to see whether their roots, bones, blood and qi can produce strength.

If the wet sack can be dried, it means that the effect of standing is good.

Good effect means high consumption, and high consumption can produce strength.

One is the roots, bones, blood and qi, and the other is the ability to comprehend.

You can become an apprentice only if you pass both. Neither is indispensable.

As I said before, strength and skill are like the wings of a bird and the wheels of a car. Neither is indispensable.

No mistakes in one poem, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

The two stood there for an hour. After the well water on their bodies dried, it turned into sweat again...

An hour later, the two were steaming with heat. Xiao Zongting took a last puff of tobacco. The pipe was bright for a while and then extinguished.

Xiao Zongting leaned against the wall, squinting his eyes in enjoyment. The smoke slowly dissipated from his nostrils. After a long time, he opened his eyes and glanced at the two with bright eyes.

Xiao Zongting sat up, knocked off the remaining ash in the pipe on the steps, stood up, and walked behind Duan Rong and Kong Bin.

Xiao Zongting stopped behind Kong Bin and reached out to touch the sack on Kong Bin. Although the sack was dry, it was still slightly damp.

Xiao Zongting wrinkled his nose and snorted coldly: "Just barely passed."

Kong Bin felt as if he had been pardoned when he heard these words. He passed the assessment.

Xiao Zongting came behind Duan Rong, reached out to touch the sack on Duan Rong, smiled and said: "Not bad, it's completely dry."

Xiao Zongting walked to Zhao Mu with his hands behind his back and ordered: "These two are OK. You will arrange a place for them to stay and then bring them to my courtyard."

"Yes, Mr. Xiao." Zhao Mu replied respectfully.

"The teaching is not bad." Xiao Zongting said lightly, and then walked out, his eyes vaguely swept over Duan Rong.

Zhao Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy.

With Xiao Zongting's words that he taught well, his internship this year was almost certain to be converted to a regular employee.

Zhao Mu looked at Duan Rong with joy, thinking: This kid seems to have talent, even Old Xiao likes him.

When I was promoted to an apprentice, Old Xiao always had a sour face. People can't be compared.

"I'll give you half an incense stick of time! Go back and pack your things, and tell your respective managers, and then come back here, I'll take you to the middle courtyard."

Duan Rong and Kong Bin were very happy and turned to leave the courtyard.

"You two put on your clothes! If you go out like this, the guards will not cross you!"

When Zhao Mu reminded them, they remembered that they were still shirtless.

The two people who had been quite at odds smiled at each other, then picked up their clothes and put them on while walking.

Half an incense stick of time was a bit tight, especially for Duan Rong, the horse farm was still a little far from the firewood room.

He also had to go to the dormitory to pack up, and he also had to go to the horse farm to inform Old Man Sun, time was tight!

As soon as Duan Rong left the courtyard, he ran away.

Kong Bin's usual cold face was filled with a happy smile. As soon as he left the courtyard, Zhang Zheng came over and asked, "Brother Bin, were you selected?"

Kong Bin nodded.

"Brother Bin, I knew you could do it." Zhang Zheng clenched his fist and shouted.

Kong Bin patted Zhang Zheng on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Zhang Zheng, we are brothers for life. What's mine, is yours."

Zhang Zheng nodded and asked, "Did Duan Rong also get selected?"

A solemn look flashed across Kong Bin's happy face. Duan Rong was not only selected, but also Mr. Xiao's evaluation of him was obviously much higher than his own.

"Yes, he was also selected."

"This kid is also a character. He was inconspicuous at first, but he suddenly rose to prominence when the assessment was approaching. Moreover, we drugged him, so he saw through the trick." Zhang Zheng paused and said, "Brother Bin, I think it's better to make friends with such people than to be enemies."

Kong Bin sighed, a trace of contemplation flashed in his eyes, and said, "Let's talk about him later."
