There were many people standing at the gate of Zhou Dao's house in Zhoujia Village. They were all talking about it.
Zhou Dao stood at the door with everyone in front of him coughing: "Okay, I've made everything clear. I can teach Kung Fu, but those who are willing to follow you should think carefully about it.
Everyone was silent. Yes, when everyone saw Zhou Daorong returning to his hometown, everyone thought that the outside world was such a good place, and everyone wanted their children to follow him out to explore. However, they didn't expect to know after hearing Zhou Daorong's words.
It turned out that the outside world was so cruel, and everyone immediately gave up.
Zhou Dao didn't say anything but just looked at everyone, and his father behind him didn't speak either.
Finally someone spoke.
"I'm willing to follow him out." It was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old. He was a big cow.
"And me." This is Ergou.
"I am coming too."
"I am coming too."
Immediately, several more teenagers stood up.
"Okay." Zhou Dao counted a total of eight teenagers.
"You will all gather here tomorrow."
Zhou Daozhi wanted to train these young people first to see if they had the perseverance to persevere.
Before dawn the next day, eight teenagers were already standing at the gate of Zhoudao.
Zhou Dao walked out.
"Brother Daodao, what are we doing today?"
"Oh, how many times have I told you, don't call me Brother Daodao. Call me Brother Zhou Dao." Zhou Dao curled his lips.
"Okay, you guys follow me." Zhou Dao took the lead and walked forward.
The eight people behind him followed Zhou Dao closely.
Zhou Dao walked at first, but then his speed became faster and faster, and he always walked on difficult mountain roads. The mountain roads were bumpy and uneven. It was very difficult to walk. But fortunately, these teenagers grew up in the mountains.
These mountain roads were nothing to them. Even so, these teenagers started to feel tired after walking for a long time.
Zhou Dao walked faster and faster, and the boy behind him could no longer keep up and began to jog. His breathing also began to become heavier.
Zhou Dao smiled: "How's it going? It's okay?"
"Haha, it's not a big deal, how many times have we walked this kind of mountain road."
"That's right. We're not tired at all."
"Then just don't scream later." Zhou Dao said with a smile.
"Humph, look down on us."
Zhou Dao speeded up and walked for some distance, before a hill appeared in front of him.
"Follow up."
Zhou Dao started walking up the mountain. The eight people behind him were a little dumbfounded that they were climbing the mountain.
Everyone knows that climbing a mountain is actually the most tiring. It’s okay at the beginning, especially later. The further you go, the more tired you become, and it grows exponentially.
Sure enough, Zhou Dao didn't climb for long when he heard the gasps of the people behind him. Zhou Dao continued to climb without stopping.
After climbing for a while, the eight people behind finally began to be unable to keep up, and some people began to fall behind.
Suddenly someone fell down.
Zhou Dao didn't say anything and just continued to move forward. At this point, Shanlu told Zhou Daolian that he couldn't even break a sweat. However, the eight people behind him were indeed sweating like rain.
We have only climbed a little over half and everyone is already beginning to feel overwhelmed.
We finally reached the halfway point. At this time, the eight people were almost exhausted, and several people fell down one after another. Fortunately, the hill was not too steep and they did not slip down.
"Haha, why are you tired?" Zhou Dao said with a smile.
"Yes, yes. Can you take a rest?" Daniel, the healthiest among them all, couldn't bear it.
"No, if you can't bear it, go back." Zhou Dao made a serious face.
"Hey." Everyone gasped.
"Follow me." Zhou Dao walked forward again.
There was no choice but for everyone to follow.
After climbing another hundred meters, everyone was so tired that they almost had no energy to breathe. The clothes on their bodies were already soaked through.
"Hurry up, hurry up, we'll be there soon." Zhou Dao encouraged.
"Ouch, I'm so exhausted that I have no energy at all."
"Yeah, my legs are sore."
"I can't climb anymore."
"Have a rest."
"Just take a break."
The crowd screamed.
"Humph, you said you were tired, but you still have the energy to scream." Zhou Dao shouted.
"I'll go up first. I'll wait for you on the mountain and see when you come up. If you come up late, don't learn Kung Fu from me or follow me out." After Zhou Dao said this, the others got up and disappeared.
The eight people looked at each other.
"What should I do?" Ergou asked.
"Hurry up and climb up." Daniel hurriedly climbed up.
Everyone also mustered up their strength to climb up, and it turned out to be much faster than before.
Zhou Dao quickly reached the top of the mountain and found a clean stone to sit on.
"Let's see when you can come up." Zhou Dao whispered. Then he closed his eyes.
After waiting for a while, someone finally climbed up, it was Daniel.
As soon as Daniel came up, he collapsed on the ground, panting heavily and not wanting to move.
Soon the two dogs also climbed up and fell next to the big cow.
Soon everyone climbed up one after another, and the last two people climbed up, you holding me and I holding you.
After all eight people came up, Zhou Dao also opened his eyes.
"how do you feel."
"I'm so exhausted." The eight of them were exhausted.
"Haha, have a good rest, we will go down soon." Zhou Dao said with a smile.
"Ah." Everyone shouted.
In front of the gate of Zhoudao Courtyard.
"Okay, everyone, let's go home and rest. We will gather here tomorrow." Zhou Dao said.
"Brother Zhou Dao, what are you doing tomorrow?" Ergou asked.
"Continue climbing the mountain." Zhou Dao said calmly.
"Ah." Everyone shouted again.
Zhou Dao took eight people to climb the mountain every day for seven consecutive days. Fortunately, everyone persisted, which made Zhou Dao very happy.
On the eighth day, Zhou Dao from the top of the mountain looked at the eight people who had just climbed up and shouted: "Don't take any rest. Sit down cross-legged quickly and I will teach you how to breathe."
After hearing this, the eight of them were overjoyed to know that Zhou Dao had finally begun to teach them and others the method of cultivation, which also meant that they and others had passed Zhou Dao's test.
Everyone was ready and waiting for Zhou Dao to teach. Zhou Dao also began to teach Tianlongmen's entry-level mental skills.
Although Tianlongmen stipulates that the secrets of the sect cannot be disclosed casually, many people do not take this rule seriously, and it does not matter if some low-level secrets are passed around. The senior officials of Tianlongmen will not interfere and just turn a blind eye.
He closed his eyes and Zhou Dao didn't even care. Besides, Zhou Dao had no intention of bringing Daniu and others to Tianlongmen.
For ten consecutive days, Zhou Dao led eight people to climb the mountain each time, and then breathed on the mountain. At first, the few people were not used to it, but gradually they got used to it and no longer complained about the pain.
Zhou Dao felt that it was almost done and it was time to leave.
