During the period between the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, many legendary heroes stood out, and various classic stories made people marvel. The majesty of the Western Xia Qunxiong, the fame of Liangshan figures throughout the ages, and the heroes of the Yue family army are inseparable from the teaching of a legendary figure behind these wonderful, who is the first martial artist of the Song Dynasty, Zhou Tong. This Zhou Tong, known as the Great Hero of the Iron Arm, in addition to guiding heroes such as Wu Song, Luan Tingyu, and Sun Li in martial arts, his seven disciples were also famous figures.
【Wise Lu Junyi】
Lu Junyi was Zhou Tong's eldest apprentice, and Zhou Tong accidentally stayed in Lujiazhuang when he was walking in the rivers and lakes, and because Lu Junyi's family was very rich, he was targeted by mountain bandits and kidnapped him to the mountain. Zhou Dong, who saw the uneven road, angrily came to the mountain alone to save Lu Junyi, after killing many mountain bandits, he was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake on the way down the mountain, Zhou Dong gritted his teeth and sent Lu Junyi back to Lu Mansion and fainted, and Lu Fu asked a doctor to treat his injuries. Lu Junyi is a very grateful person, every day in front of Zhou Dong's bed to change his medicine for him, after a period of time Zhou Dong's injuries will be better. Originally, he was rescued by the Lu family, and Zhou Dong was very grateful and liked Lu Junyi, so he accepted him as an apprentice.
Among all of Zhou Tong's disciples, the most enlightened were Lu Junyi and Yue Fei, and Lu Junyi seemed to be more intelligent than Yue Fei. After all, Yue Fei was carefully taught by Zhou Dong in seven or eight years in his later years; and Lu Junyi only studied for less than two years, Zhou Tong passed on all eighteen weapons to him, Lu Junyi practiced alone after the master left, and finally practiced the gun stick to the first place in Hebei, and was the strongest of the seven disciples in martial arts skills. If Zhou Dong could leave the way and time to teach Yue Fei to Lu Junyi, perhaps his martial arts realm would not be inferior to Yue Fei's.
【Heroic and good at fighting Lin Chong】
Lin Chong also learned ancestral marksmanship with his father, and later his parents died of illness, and Lin Chong also joined the army on the way to conquer Western Xia. During the conquest, Lin Chong and another hero, Luan Tingyu, became comrades in distress from small soldiers to Qianzong, and often discussed martial arts and warfare together. However, Lin Chong was a person who distinguished between public and private, and later when they met in Zhujiazhuang, Lin Chong and Luan Tingyu did not have much contact.
An unexpected opportunity Zhou Dong overheard Lin Chong and Luan Tingyu chatting, they analyzed the battle situation very well, completely beyond the ability of ordinary Qianzong, Zhou Dong came to the two young heroes, saw their martial arts and saw that he was very knowledgeable, so he recommended them as generals. The two also cherished this hard-won opportunity, Lin Chong was very brave in the conquest of Western Xia, every time he fought he was a pioneer, compared to Shi Wengong, he was no less than him, and once risked random arrows and rolling wood to kill the Western Xia general Hazma. Zhou Dong also pointed out many martial arts skills of Lin Chong and Luan Tingyu along the way.
Zhou Tong's son Zhou Yunqing was killed and Shi Wengong betrayed, Lin Chong diligently visited Zhou Tong every day, and after a few months, his persistence was recognized by Zhou Dong and accepted as an apprentice, and Lin Chong successively followed Zhou Dong for several years. Zhou Tong pointed out the shortcomings of Lin Chong's ancestral marksmanship and corrected them, and at the same time taught him eighteen weapons, and Lin Chong later changed the use of weapons to Zhangba Snake Spear Gun according to the secondary learning art. Through years of diligent study and hard work, Lin Chong's gun and stick kung fu is only slightly inferior to Lu Junyi. Since the death of his son Zhou Yunqing, Zhou Tong left his fiancée to keep filial piety and unmarried, brokering the marriage between Zhang Xuelian, the fiancée of his son Zhou Yunqing, and Lin Chong also became the leader of the 800,000 forbidden army guns and sticks under the recommendation of Zhou Tong
【See Shi Wengong of Profit and Forgetting Righteousness】
Shi Wengong followed Zhou Dong to the south and north, because he was alert and intelligent, he could speak and do things very steadily, and the things that Zhou Dong gave him could be done very well. Zhou Tong also especially liked Shi Wengong and accepted him as an apprentice, if it were not for Shi Wengong's later betrayal of Zhou Tong, he would be considered Zhou Tong's great apprentice. Shi Wengong studied art with Zhou Dong for more than ten years, and martial arts are also the most complete ones, even Zhou Dong's re-creation of the Hundred Birds Chao Phoenix Gun, also let him learn a few moves, this set of marksmanship is the Three Kingdoms period Tong Yuan handed down the mastery, through Zhou Dong again research and creation. Shi Wengong learned these tricks and killed the fierce general Hadron during the conquest of Western Xia.
Although Shi Wengong is also quite good, he does not have the heroism of Lin Chong and Lu Junyi, and his fame and fortune are too heavy. Cai Jing, another marshal who had conquered Western Xia, was jealous of Zhou Dong and feared that he would be his political opponent in the future, so he was bent on getting rid of Zhou Tong. Under the coercion and inducement, Shi Wengong instantly became a two-sided wallhead, and he added a lot of charges to Zhou Dong according to Cai Jing's instructions and inducements, and Zhou Dong experienced the pain of losing his son and was betrayed by his beloved disciples, and he resigned as the first martial artist of the Heavenly Dynasty, while Shi Wengong was recommended to teach in Zengtou City. For a long time, Zhou Dong fell into a downturn, fortunately, Lin Chong had been waiting by his side. Since then, Shi Wengong has been removed from Zhou Tong, which is why Lu Junyi did not leave any room for Shi Wengong in Zengtou City later.
【Yue Fei of Shuangwu Shuangquan】
Yue Fei was the best disciple that Zhou Dong had accepted in his later years, and in the face of the death of Aizi, coupled with Shi Wengong's betrayal and the murder of Lin Chong Lu Junyi, Zhou Dong's way of teaching had changed greatly. He no longer taught the stunt of defeating the enemy but the moves of the martial arts realm, and in the past seven or eight years, Yue Fei's eighteen weapons have been proficient, Yue Fei's martial arts realm has also been improved, and many years later, Yue Fei has also created the Yue family gun and the flip fist. In terms of martial arts skills, Yue Fei did not have the heroic records of Lin Chong and Lu Junyi, but Yue Fei, who was both literate and martial, defeated Yang Zaixing, He Yuanqing and many other famous generals with his wisdom and courage.
【Naughty Wang Gui】
If Zhou Tong could teach some special skills to Wang Gui in his later years, Wang Gui might be able to reach the level of Shi Jin and Suo Chao. The fundamental reason why his martial arts were not very good was that the rough Wang Gui was only suitable for practicing the method of defeating the enemy, and those martial arts realms were not very suitable for him. However, Wang Gui was still very brave on the battlefield, and the story of the war king Shan Yong winning the golden sword also made him famous for a while.
【Simple Soup】
When he was a child, the mischievous Tang Huai was trained by Zhou Dong to become a Confucian warrior, but his talent was too poor and too imitative of Yue Fei, so that his marksmanship was always only second- and third-rate. Zhou Dong's martial virtue made Tang Huai become a famous singer from a naughty boy, and the deeds of sacrificing himself to escort Zhang Jiucheng also made Tang Huai a famous figure from all over the world.
【Unique Zhang Xian】
In fact, Zhang Xian's talent is still relatively high, but he lacks Tang Huai's attitude of learning and art. However, years of drills have also made many achievements in the Yue family army, and the great destruction of the series of horses has made him famous throughout the ages.
