Bu Tian Gang

After lunch, I fell asleep for a while, winter solstice tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so I simply ran upstairs to find Long Shen, but there was still no one in the office, and I don't know if the other party had gone out, or the meetings that had been going on for a whole day hadn't finished yet.

He didn't dare to go to the conference room to find someone, so he went back to the rooftop to practice in desperation.

Get up at 04:30 in the morning, wash up and go to the rooftop to study at [-]:[-], Long Shen goes to work at [-]:[-], and walk on the rooftop for an hour after the winter solstice to practice breathing kung fu, and then continue to practice Bu Tiangang until lunch.After lunch, there was an hour of rest, and then he continued to practice until five o'clock in the afternoon, and returned to the dormitory to take a rest and prepare for sleep—this was the training plan Long Shen made for the winter solstice.

For urbanites who are used to feasting and feasting, this plan is undoubtedly very difficult, not to mention Bu Tiangang's footwork is very complicated, it is not easy to remember it, and it is even more difficult to memorize it and use it with swordsmanship .

The most painful thing is that if after such a high-intensity training, I can eat some big fish and meat, at least it can comfort my soul. In the end, even meat is not allowed to be eaten, and I have to eat white porridge with wolfberry every day.

The winter solstice persisted for two days, but I couldn't hold on anymore. I wanted to say a few soft words and ask the master to allow him to relax. Who knew that I forgot the time when I read the novel last night, which annoyed Long Shen. I don't know how to coax him now. When he came back, he didn't dare to talk about being lazy anymore, so he had to live an ascetic life honestly.

As soon as he went up to the rooftop with the Changshou sword in hand, he saw Liu Qingbo and Liu Si also there.

Liu Qingbo rolled his eyes when he saw the winter solstice, and didn't say hello. Since he learned that the winter solstice apprenticeship, he now sees the winter solstice like this, and the winter solstice is also used to it. Compared with the previous sarcasm, Liu Qingbo is already showing mercy .

Liu Si smiled and said: "We are deciding whether to go to the first group or the second group's site to practice, you just came, did the leader talk to you?"

Winter Solstice knows that the higher-ups are looking for someone to talk to. Although it is not up to everyone to choose where to go for an internship, it is said that everyone's group will be determined before departure. In addition to being under the jurisdiction of the branch office, they will also be under the observation of the leaders of the head office. .

"Not yet, but I should go to the second group."

However, which group you enter now does not mean that you can stay there after the probationary period is over. If the leader thinks you are unqualified, you will still be kicked if you should. More trivial and more manpower-intensive.

Liu Si wanted to come to the second group, and it is said that Long Shen has already approved it. If there is no accident, Gu Meiren and Basang should go to the third group. Liu Qingbo could not become a teacher, so he went to the first group instead. As expected.

What surprised people was Li Ying. His father Li Rui was originally the team leader of Wu Bingtian's previous group, and he was born in Maoshan. Logically speaking, he should also be in the first group, but he took the initiative to find Song Zhicun and proposed to go to the third group.Song Zhicun was naturally eager to have such an elite join, so he immediately agreed.

Many people thought that Li Ying wanted beauty instead of country, seeing that Chi Banxia went to the third group, she couldn't bear to separate from her girlfriend.However, Dongzhi believes that a group of strong people will come out in large numbers, and they have Liu Qingbo and Zhang Song joining in this year. No matter how good Li Ying is, the competition will inevitably be fierce after entering, so he chose three groups, which is more likely to stand out.

Hearing Dong Zhi's answer, Liu Si couldn't help laughing: "That's right, you are a disciple of the Dragon Bureau, and you must be going to the second group. I need to ask more."

Although he was also envious of Dongzhi being able to worship Long Shen as his teacher, it was just envy. After all, he has become a willow tree and has his own way of practice. Whether he worships or not is just icing on the cake.

Liu Qingbo couldn't help rolling his eyes again when he heard the apprentice's words.

Winter Solstice invited him: "Do you want to practice with us?"

The practice venues of the three groups are different. Liu Qingbo has determined where he will go, and he also takes the access card of the first group. Dongzhi and Liu Si are both in the second group.

Liu Qingbo snorted coldly: "Forget it, lest others misunderstand that I want to steal something from you!"

He raised his head and swiped his card first to enter.

Dong Zhi and Liu Si looked at each other in blank dismay, and swiped their cards one after another to enter the venue of the second group.

Liu Sidao: "I heard that next year's World Exchange Conference will have more participants than in previous years. From this point of view, we should have a chance."

Seeing that Dongzhi was at a loss, he couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't Dragon Bureau tell you anything?"

Winter Solstice shook his head, these two days he was about to be drilled to death, so he didn't have time to care about the World Exchange Conference.

"Is this exchange conference just for the exchange of spells from various countries?"

Liu Sidao: "On the one hand, the circulation in the world is becoming more and more frequent. Not only the monsters from the East will go to the West, but also the wanted monsters from the West will often come here. This is established to strengthen the exchange of information between countries. On the other hand, It should be practitioners from various countries who are exchanging ideas, after all, each represents the country, and they will definitely have a sense of victory and honor. I heard that there will be trials and competitions, and the top three will get generous bonuses."

Bonuses are second to none, and no one would take that little bonus seriously, but the winner will definitely benefit greatly from his own popularity in future promotions. Come on.

Liu Si said: "Our side does not allow folks to participate in the name of individuals, they have to go through the Special Administration Bureau, and then go out in the name of the country. Every year, the Special Administration Bureau will allocate a certain number of places to the bureau and the folks. It is said that Wu Bureau He and Song Ju made their mark in the competitions back then, and made a big splash, and then they made their way to the top."

Winter Solstice asked curiously, "What about the Dragon Bureau?"

Liu Si shook his head: "I haven't heard that Dragon Bureau has participated in it."

Winter Solstice never thought of getting rich with this promotion, but it is a very interesting thing to be able to meet the world and learn from practitioners from all over the world, at least it is good for self-improvement, but since he thinks so, everyone else must be too. Think so.

"Is the selection stringent?" he asked.

Liu Si: "The conference will be held at the end of next year, and the screening should start at the beginning of next year. I only heard about it from a group of people over there in the past two days. If you want to go, you should step up your practice. There will not be too many places, and our class has a large number of elites, it is certainly impossible for everyone to have the opportunity to go."

Dong Zhi nodded, thinking that as Long Shen's disciple, he had to win a spot no matter what, otherwise he would be too embarrassing to his master.

Thinking of this, the motivation came to practice again. The space here is infinitely extended and expanded by magic, not to mention Liu Si and Dong Zhi, even if there are dozens of people, it is still spacious. During the winter solstice, practice Tiangang footwork by the waterfall.

Long Shen is indeed very busy.

Today's meeting was all gathered together, including the symposium above, the meeting in the bureau, and the temporary meeting for arranging newcomers. During the lunch break, when he came back to get a water glass, he found that there was an extra book on the desk.

"Relevant Departments Subduing Demons and Eliminating Demons Event Book", author: Dong Dong Qiang.

Long Shen frowned slightly, picked it up and turned a few pages.

It depicts the daily life of the relevant departments in the form of stick figures, and there are also clips of slaying demons and demons. The name of the Special Administration Bureau is hidden in it, and it is directly called "relevant departments". The protagonist's name does not use the real name. Even the case has been changed, which is not considered a leak of secrets.

There is also a note in the middle of the book.

Master, this book will be published soon, and the author is me. I plan to donate the manuscript fee to the bureau, and in the future, it will be used as a pension for the colleagues who died in battle, and I will contribute a little bit.Don't be angry, okay?

A smiling face is attached at the back, and there is a shy cartoon villain next to it.

Long Shen closed the book, took a document from the drawer, picked up the water glass to go out, paused, picked up the book again, turned out the note inside, put it in the drawer, and took the book away.

Many people think that bigwigs are high-ranking and powerful, and they must sit at the top of the office and command remotely every day, but this is not the case for the Special Administration Bureau.Last time the newcomers practiced, the two deputy bureau chiefs also had to personally lead the team and bring them back. Although damage and death were expected, as leaders, Long Shen and Song Zhicun were still criticized and had to write a review report. It's all unknown to them during the winter solstice.

"Japan has already sent things over, and the higher-ups asked us to send Fujikawa back as soon as possible." Wu Bingtian said.

Song Zhicun snorted coldly: "We worked so hard this time, and we lost two people. I really want to keep that bastard grandson and never let him go back to Japan!"

Wu Bingtian said slowly: "I don't want him to go back, but this is an order from above, and they have agreed to the conditions we put forward this time. If we don't fulfill the promise, we will never be able to explain it."

In fact, this matter has already been settled, and today it is just a routine mention. Song Zhicun nodded: "I see, when the above-mentioned procedures are completed, I will go there in person and escort the person back, so as to avoid any mishaps in the middle .”

Wu Bingtian smiled and said, "Then Song Bureau will work hard. With you leading the team, it will be safe."

Director Jiang only focuses on the construction of spiritual civilization in the general direction. He has never intervened in this kind of specific business allocation, and he can't get involved. Seeing the topic come to an end, he smiled and said: "Is the assignment of the newcomers all determined?" gone?"

Wu Bingtian handed over a form: "It's almost done, this is everyone's arrangement, please take a look."

Director Jiang glanced briefly: "Why is no one staying in the headquarters?"

Wu Bingtian said with a smile: "After the discussion, the three of us thought that instead of keeping them in the headquarters and ignoring the sufferings of the people, it is better to let them go to the branch offices in various places and be on the front line, so that we can have a deep understanding of major cases."

Chief Jiang nodded. Anyway, he was the shopkeeper, so of course he had no objection.

"Okay, when will you leave?"

Wu Bingtian: "You can report for duty next week."

Director Jiang: "It's hard for them to come back, and next week is too late, so let's just extend it for another week, and hold a few symposiums before leaving, so that we can encourage and supervise the young people."

As soon as everyone heard it, they knew that Lao Jiang must have relapsed from his addiction to speech.

Since he took office, he has to speak at meetings every year and festival, and he doesn't stop talking for half an hour. Everyone can understand how Lao Jiang's title of "meeting director" came about.There were only so many people coming and going in the bureau. No matter how much Director Jiang liked to hold meetings, it was impossible for him to call everyone together all day long. After all, a group of newcomers came, how could he "let go" so easily?

Wu Bingtian didn't want to confront the chief about such a trivial matter, so he smiled and said, "That's good, they didn't listen to your teachings when they joined the job last time, and now they have an opportunity. In the future, we will be separated, and such opportunities will become less and less. Now they can listen to it a few times, and they can gain more experience.”

Director Jiang smiled: "No, young people have to be encouraged. These children are still young, and they are all national elites. They are inevitably arrogant. Let them walk more slowly, not too fast!"

Today's meeting is not considered formal, only a few of them are here, and the business is over. Lao Jiang unknowingly talked about his own son from this group of young people, saying that his son must go to a foreign country for a difficult exam. He majored in the college, but in the end he was admitted, and he even got a full scholarship. In other words, he was showing off his son.

Song Zhicun also has a son in the army. He is young and promising, and his military rank is not low. Parents inevitably hope that their son will become a dragon, and Lao Song is no exception. Hearing what Director Jiang said, Lao Song also talked about his son, talking endlessly, There is a tendency to hate the late meeting with Director Jiang.

Wu Bingtian has no son, only a daughter. She has just learned to speak, and she can't show off if she wants to, but she can talk about parenting, and she can also get into the topic.

Seeing that a small talk was completely centered around his children, Wu Bingtian looked at the silent Long Shen, and said with a smile: "We have to say that Longju is the most ascetic here. All these years, I have been focusing on work, and I don't even care about personal matters." Can't care about cooking!"

Director Jiang hurriedly said: "That's right, Ju Long hasn't got married yet, should I introduce you to a suitable partner? Work is important, but don't forget the important things in life!"

Of course he knew what the Special Administration Bureau was for, and knew that he had strong men under his command, but he didn't understand it carefully, let alone Long Shen's origin, and only regarded him as a practitioner like Wu Bingtian and Song Zhicun.

Wu Bingtian and Song Zhicun looked at each other, and felt amused in their hearts. They didn't expect Lao Jiang to urge Long Shen to get married.

Never thought that Long Shen would release a book silently: "This is a new book published by my apprentice. It is said that the sales volume has exceeded [-]. I will ask him to give you a few copies later."

He checked the sales on the Internet. The bureau chiefs present were good at catching monsters as officials, but none of them knew the publishing industry. So when they heard the figure of [-], they were shocked. Hurry up. Take it and pass it on.

Director Jiang took a look: "Hey, this is a comic book? I didn't expect Dragon Bureau to have a cartoonist apprentice."

Wu Bingtian smiled but didn't laugh: "It's the winter solstice, the Dragon Bureau has really taken in a good disciple, and he can win honor for the master so soon."

Long Shenyun said lightly: "He is pretty good, he has a good heart, he can draw, he has a good memory, and he is talented. I didn't expect him to come to this point."

Hearing the other party's pretentious modesty, Wu Bingtian couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly.

Although he didn't think much of Dong Zhi, a practitioner who didn't have a solid foundation since childhood, that was a long time ago.

Ever since Winter Solstice came to prominence in tracking down the whereabouts of the Japanese, Wu Bingtian also wanted to recruit him into the group. Based on the fact that the group needs money, resources, and resources, as long as he speaks, basically no one will come. Some people would not agree, but who knows that Long Shen is faster than him. Not to mention frequent contact in private, and living close to him, he often gives advice, which made the child grateful and declined Wu Bingtian's proposal at that time.

After all, Wu Bingtian is a dignified director, so he can't be too attentive all day long and lose his identity, so he thinks that when they come back from Yinchuan experience, they will go back to the teacher's school and include the winter solstice in the gate wall of Longhu Mountain.Anyway, he had found out clearly that the other party had only worshiped a named master in Hezao Mountain before, so he could not be regarded as a serious successor of the Hezao School, and it would not be considered a violation of the rules to enter Longhu Mountain again.

Who knew that Long Shen was ahead of him again, and had someone pay homage to his teacher directly in the cave.

When they came back, Wu Bingtian heard him talk about it lightly, and was so angry that night that he didn't sleep well.

Didn't he say that he had to compete with Long Shen for his apprentice? Didn't he still have Liu Qingbo with excellent aptitude?

But who makes people move faster? Every time Wu Bingtian thinks about this, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow his blood.

Furthermore, regarding the negotiation with the Japanese last time, Long Shen refused to give an inch, and even dragged Song Zhicun and Zong Lao together. As a result, Wu Bingtian, who was in charge of the negotiation, had to send messages back and forth, although the Japanese finally forced them to make concessions. Our side had the upper hand, but at the beginning the superior wanted to calm down the matter, because this matter had a lot of complaints about Long Shen and Song Zhicun, thinking that they "disregarded the overall situation", and Wu Bingtian was also put down.

Long Shen didn't care, Song Zhicun didn't have much ambition to go up, but Wu Bingtian was brooding, because of this "new and old hatred", he still couldn't get over it.

"However, our place is the Special Administration Bureau after all. Slaying demons and demons is the top priority. No matter how much the Dragon Bureau hurts the apprentice, don't let him not do his job properly and work hard in the wrong direction."

Long Shen said: "That's right, I took in an apprentice with great difficulty. I inevitably wanted him to be excellent in everything, and put a little more pressure on him. Who knows that he has never let me down before. Now training He has worked very hard, and he will take out the manuscript fee for this book and donate it to the bureau as a pension for his colleagues who died in battle."

Song Zhicun was the first to give a good compliment: "This apprentice Longju really didn't make a mistake. It's a pity that I was a step late, otherwise I could have competed with you."

Director Jiang is an ordinary person who doesn't know how to slay demons and eliminate demons, but he heard that the winter solstice donated the manuscript fee, so I have to praise his awareness: "Yes, it is said that an apprentice is worth half a son. This apprentice is worth half a son!"

Long Shen smiled faintly: "Both Jiang Ju and Song Ju have won the award." He had strict requirements on the winter solstice, and he didn't reveal anything about it, but he didn't hesitate to show his preference and appreciation to others.

Wu Bingtian felt a heavy breath in his heart, he was about to have a myocardial infarction.

The chat about showing off his son/apprentice came to an end, Long Shen returned to the office, checked the time, it was not yet four o'clock, he put down his hands, and went directly to the rooftop.

Sure enough, the winter solstice was here, and the other party was standing beside the waterfall, with his back to him, holding the long guard sword in his forehand to practice steps, but he didn't hear the sound of Long Shen's arrival.

Long Shen stood for a while, and didn't see his existence until the opponent swung his sword and turned around.

"Master!"

Dong Zhi first yelled happily, then he probably remembered the mistake he made in the morning, so he paused, and did not forget to peek at his expression when he approached.

Long Shen remained expressionless and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Finished?"

"The practice is over." Dongzhi smiled obediently, "Master please give me some pointers."

Long Shen said: "You are the author of that book in the office?"

The winter solstice felt guilty: "Yes."

Long Shen frowned slightly: "You practice every day, and you still have to draw and write books. Where did you get the time?"

Winter Solstice hurriedly said: "Painting was a while ago. After I went to Yinchuan, I didn't have much time to paint. Now all I send out are the old drafts. This kind of stick figure is also very fast to draw. Just add a little color. There will be no delay in training."

Long Shen was silent for a moment, and said: "You are spiritual and have a lot of hobbies, but the most important thing in cultivation is single-mindedness. I hope you can spend more time on business. You must know that if you miss a good opportunity in battle, you may lose your life."

After this incident, Dongzhi already understood Longshen's restricted area. It doesn't matter if his aptitude is not good enough or his health is not good, but he must concentrate and go all out during the cultivation period, and he must not be sloppy in the slightest. First of all, he didn't dare to defend himself, so he could only obediently admit his mistakes and practice hard.

The other party lowered his head, Long Shen couldn't see Dong Zhi's expression, he could only see the soft and fluffy hair swirling.

Long Shen was actually not as angry as he thought, but parting was imminent, and he couldn't be by his side all the time. If he didn't beat him, something really happened, and he wouldn't be able to get there in time.

"You keep the manuscript fee yourself, you don't need to donate it."

Dong Zhi looked up and looked at him in surprise: "Master..."

Long Shen said: "I will pay for the money you want to donate. During the inspection period, the wages are relatively small, and if the money is not enough, just tell me. But painting, it cannot affect work."

"... Oh." Dong Zhi didn't realize that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

He felt as if his heart had been soaked in hot water for nine days, and after being warmed, he was held up again and wrapped gently in a towel.

The person who wrapped his heart in a towel treated his only apprentice in this life with the utmost tenderness and kindness.

"Master, can I hug you?"

Before the other party could answer, Dong Zhi hugged him tightly.

"How big is it, how decent is it to cuddle and hug at every turn?"

Even though he said that, Long Shen could easily get out of the way, but he didn't.

"You are really the best master in the world." Dong Zhi buried his face in his clothes, and even his voice became muffled. "Being your disciple is my greatest blessing."

Long Shen had never been hugged so tightly by anyone before. He wanted to push him away, but he felt that it was inappropriate. After thinking about it, he patted the other person's back with his hands a few times.

"Okay," he said.

Dong Zhi was reluctant to let go, and took the opportunity to rub against each other until Liu Si came around from behind the hillside and greeted them in surprise.

"Dragon Bureau?"

Sensing Long Shen's desire to push him away, Dong Zhi let go first, and was a little embarrassed when Liu Si saw that he was not showing himself in front of outsiders.

Liu Si didn't pay attention that much, he said happily: "Long Ju, are you free, I just want to ask you to give me some pointers!"

Long Shen nodded and followed Liu Si to the front.

Everyone has their own way of keeping secrets, so it doesn't matter if Long Shen goes to see it, after all, he has already stood at a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and the winter solstice is not easy to follow.

But he didn't want to leave like this, so he continued to dawdle on the spot, but after waiting for an hour, he was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back, before he waited for the figures of Long Shen and Liu Si.

Long Shen was surprised: "Why haven't you left yet?"

He thought that the apprentice worked extra hard after being scolded, and added: "There is a limit to everything, and too much is too late."

Winter Solstice smiled and said, "I'm fine anyway, just waiting for you to go together."

Liu Sidao: "Thank you so much for Dragon Bureau today, and it's time for dinner, why don't I treat you to dinner!"

Happy winter solstice.

But Long Shen said: "He can't have dinner recently."

winter solstice:……

Looking at his pitiful expression, Long Shen smiled a little, and finally said mercifully, "But you can have some porridge."

It's better to eat porridge than to eat nothing at all. Winter Solstice found that his current requirements have dropped to a record low, let alone a full banquet. Now it is estimated that a plate of mustard can make him taste like a delicacy.

Liu Si is also a practitioner, so he naturally understood Long Shen's intention to make Dongzhi hungry, so he smiled and said, "Well, let's eat vegetarian dishes, and Dongzhi can eat more."

The winter solstice was overjoyed: "Old Liu, you are really a kind person who is considerate and considerate!"

Long Shen was speechless, thinking that this apprentice was really easy to please.

Liu Si rented a house in the capital, which was a bit far away, so he said goodbye to take the subway after dinner, and went for a slow walk back with Long Shen in the winter solstice.

"Master, after I go to the branch office, will there be family leave and annual leave?"

Long Shen: "Why do you ask this?"

Winter Solstice: "I can come back to see you more often."

Long Shen: "Just practice hard, you don't need to look at it."

Seeing the disappointed expression on the other side's face, he paused, and then said: "If I'm on a business trip, I'll stop by to see you when I have time."

Winter Solstice's expression is like a switch. When the switch is pressed, it immediately changes from dim to bright again.

"Then have our respective destinations been confirmed now, can you tell me, who will I partner with?"

Although the companions who trained together had different personalities, they were always memorable. Even Liu Qingbo, whose rolls of eyes and cold snorts were child's play to Dongzhi.

But it would be better if he could be with Basang or Gu Meiren.

Long Shen said, "You won't have a partner, and everyone will be assigned to different places."

Winter Solstice was taken aback: "Aren't there only four branches?"

Long Shen: "There are offices under the sub-bureau, and there are also third-tier cities. There are not many people in the office, and sometimes the conditions will not be too good. You have to be mentally prepared."

Well, hearing this tone, Dong Zhi knew that what he was assigned would definitely not be an easy job, because according to Long Shen's personality of facing difficulties, he would only have stricter requirements on his apprentices.

Long Shen can make a lot of concessions to him in personal matters, even conniving and pampering him, but he will never give in on matters of principle.

This is his master.

However, he likes such a master.
