Zhu Xian: Learn from the Great Ying Immortal and rebuild the Trinity School

Chapter 50: Meeting Zhou Yixian Again

"Does this thing really work?"

Xu Zhiqiu and Lu Xueqi walked on the snowy plain.

It has been several days since I left "Tianshui Xiaozhai".
Now the journey to the snowy mountains has come to an end.

It looked like the snow was about to fall off the mountain, but Xu Zhiqiu was still unsure as he held the porcelain bottle in his hand.

The bottle was given by the old priestess in the village.
The potion made through witchcraft in the porcelain bottle is said to be able to block out all external sensations after taking it.

Anyway, the old lady patted her chest and told him that if he drank this stuff, the Hehuan Sect's golden cicada would never smell him again.

But there is a taboo similar to that in "Face Man", that is, you cannot fight with others.

Moreover, it is even more delicate and cannot even use its true Qi on a large scale, otherwise it will become ineffective immediately.

Is the effect really that good?
…………

"Stop, where are you from?"

"He came here to escape famine from Minzhou."

"Where are you going?"

"Go to Heyang City and visit relatives."

In front of the station,
The long line of pedestrians stretched out for two or three miles.

It was noon, the sun was high in the sky, and the heat was so suffocating that people felt dizzy all over.

But even so, faced with the "inappropriate" checkpoint, the pedestrians did not dare to complain.

They lined up obediently, as obedient as a group of sheep.

As for the reason - from time to time there were figures flying on swords above their heads, making bursts of sounds of breaking through the air, which scared them into silence.

At the same time, it also reminded them that the people setting up the checkpoints were not mortal officials, but immortals.

This group of immortals called themselves the Holy Sect, which sounds very impressive.

But whether it is a saint or a devil, some elderly and more experienced people know it clearly...

We can only be extremely careful and hope not to bring bad luck to these people.

……

"Since he is from Minzhou, then..." The Hehuan disciple in charge of the interrogation took out a portrait and pointed it to Xu Zhiqiu, "Have you seen this person?"

"Old Man Xu" was old and his eyesight was blurry, so he moved closer when he saw this.

"Hmm... I haven't seen it."

Half of his old face was almost stuck on the notice. He finally got a clear look and bared his front teeth:
"But he looks a lot like me when I was young!"

"You old man are still quite talkative, are you asking for a beating?"

The disciple had a face full of flesh and glanced at the brocade box on the table beside him to confirm that the golden cicada inside was still.

So he waved his hand impatiently, "Get lost."

"Old Man Xu" was timid and ran away quickly holding his "granddaughter".

……

After passing this checkpoint, there is a wide and broad road leading to heaven ahead.

Xu Zhiqiu pulled Lu Xueqi and rode faster, unable to stop the grin on his face.

This potion is really effective!
I couldn't help but thank Tianshui Xiaozhai for being a great help.

No matter what you say in the future, I will have to visit you again and express my gratitude properly.

"who are they?"

Lu Xueqi suddenly asked.

"Bad guy." Xu Zhiqiu said without turning his head, "Didn't I tell you?"

"Then why did they arrest you?"

"Maybe it's because of my unique charm?"

Xu Zhiqiu made a cold joke, and Lu Xueqi pouted and kept silent.

……

Successfully fished in troubled waters,

While feeling thankful and secretly delighted, Xu Zhiqiu couldn't help but feel puzzled.

He Huan seemed to know that he was going to Qingyun. The closer he got to the end, the more obstacles he encountered. It was just like playing a game.

In the next ten days,
With the help of the potion and the disguise of the "Face Man", Xu Zhiqiu passed four checkpoints of Hehuan in succession.

We traveled hundreds of miles.

At this point, they have approached the Qingyun area.

……

this day,
Xu Zhiqiu and his companion passed by an inn and found a wine shop or tea stall to rest for a while.

But unexpectedly, I ran into an acquaintance.

It has been nearly half a year since we parted at Xianren Station.

Compared to half a year ago when he still had some immortal aura, Zhou Yixian now looks shabby and desolate.

He carries a sign that reads "The Immortal Pointing the Way" on his shoulder and holds a baby in his left hand.

The robe was tattered and his gray hair and beard were felted.

It's obvious that it hasn't been taken care of for a long time.

The old face was full of sorrow, and the baby in his arms also had a pouty mouth and a sallow face due to malnutrition.

Anyone who sees this can't help but sigh, what a sloppy old man, what a pitiful grandson...

Because Xu Zhiqiu was in disguise, Zhou Yixian did not recognize him at first.

So Xu Zhiqiu took the initiative to step forward and greet him.

However, I thought Zhou Yixian's reaction when he saw him would be surprise.

Unexpectedly, after a brief moment of stunned silence, Zhou Yixian said nothing, covered his old face with his sleeves, and turned away.

Xu Zhiqiu couldn't help but shout from behind:
"Old sir, what difficulties have you encountered?"

Zhou Yixian's body stiffened, but he finally stood still.

He turned half of his old face and made a somewhat complicated expression.

……

"My dear friend, I am sorry for you."

After sitting down at both ends, Zhou Yixian stood up and bowed deeply to him.

If it were any other time, Xu Zhiqiu would definitely stand up and avoid such an old man.

But at this moment, his face was as gloomy as water and his expression did not look good.

"That's what I said. No wonder He Huan's group has such a keen nose... Turns out they followed me all the way here."

Zhou Yixian looked apologetic and lamented:

"It's all my fault for being so confused! I drank a few more cups of horse urine at the restaurant and accidentally told others about your trip to Minzhou. Someone at the next table happened to hear it and took the news to ask for a reward."

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his arms covered with blood scabs that had not yet healed.

"Those Hehuan disciples caught me and tortured me. I wanted to play dumb at first, but they threatened me with this child... I..."

Xu Zhiqiu held Xiaohuan in his arms, and the little kid giggled and reached out to touch his nose.

After not seeing her for half a year, Xiaohuan has gained some weight.

Hand her over to Lu Xueqi and let her tease you.

Xu Zhiqiu asked Zhou Yixian again:
"Then how did you escape?"

"People in this world have their own ways of flattering others and begging for mercy. In addition, I know some talisman escape techniques..."

Zhou Yixian said with shame:

"Let's not talk about this anymore. What are you going to do next?"

"What else can we do?" Xu Zhiqiu said calmly, taking a sip of tea. "Let's just keep on going."

"This place is still some distance away from Heyang City, but once you enter Heyang City, you will enter Qingyun. Qingyun is the most righteous sect in the world. Even if the Hehuan Sect is so rampant, it is estimated that they would not dare to touch the tiger whiskers of Qingyun Sect with their own strength. But..."

Zhou Yixian wiped his face, looking a little worried.

"It's just that this last short stretch of the journey may not be so peaceful."

How could Xu Zhiqiu not know what he said?

Although the risk was in front of him, he shook his head and said calmly:
"Every difficulty comes, but you still have to overcome it. Why don't you plant your crops because you're afraid of the crickets chirping?"
