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

Chapter 55 Channel

night,

In front of the fire, Zhou Yixian asked Xu Zhiqiu:
"We will be able to reach Qingyun around tomorrow afternoon. What are you going to do then?"

The few of them rested in a dilapidated temple outside the city. Since the Heyang city gate was closed, they had to enter the city early the next morning.

Anyway, now that they are here, Hehuan’s gang doesn’t dare to follow them, so he is not in a hurry anymore.

"Let me make it clear first. I will definitely not go up the mountain with you."

Zhou Yixian looked awkward when Qingyun was mentioned.

Xu Zhiqiu laughed at what he said.

"What? Can't you wipe your face?"

"Hmph, what's my seniority? Do you think I'm a poor relative begging for food?" Zhou Yixian put his hands in front of his chest, "Don't accuse me of marrying above my station. Even if the younger generation from Qingyun kneeled before me, I wouldn't necessarily acknowledge them!"

Xu Zhiqiu knew that the old man was being awkward, so he didn't try to persuade him.

Actually, he originally wanted to use Zhou Yixian's relationship to his advantage. After all, they were from the same clan and had the same ancestors, so it would be easier to talk to him when the time came, right?
But later he figured it out. Qingyun Sect was a famous and upright sect with a good reputation.

There is no reason not to accept Lu Xueqi, a young talent with a miserable background and great talent.

This also made him give up the idea of ​​using the back door.

Glancing at the side, I saw Lu Xueqi lying on her back, probably already asleep.

Thinking of all the difficulties along the way, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

"Mrs. Lu."

Xu Zhiqiu sighed and looked up at the starry sky in the north, opening his arms.

"My mission is accomplished."

Zhou Yixian sneered and ignored him.

He then fed Xiaohuan with goat milk that he had begged from farmers on the roadside during the day, but the little baby was always restless, with a pouty little mouth, and it took a long time to feed her.

It was not until Xu Zhiqiu took over and scolded her twice that Xiaohuan immediately stopped being naughty and drank the milk obediently.

Zhou Yixian found it funny. His granddaughter was usually hard to please, but she was obedient to him.

Suddenly I remembered something.
"Hey kid, although Qingyun is a big sect, they don't have a taboo against bringing talents to a disciple. Why don't you send this girl off and join Qingyun as well?"

After these words were spoken, no one noticed that Lu Xueqi's shadow moved in the firelight.

Zhou Yixian pointed to Xu Zhiqiu's lower dantian.
"There are many masters in Qingyun, and they will definitely be able to cure the evil of the Holy Fire of Hehuan in your body. Even if they can't, you can rest assured with Qingyun's protection in the future."

"Indeed, it's nice to be under a big tree to enjoy the shade." Xu Zhiqiu shook his head, "But I already have a family."

"What sect can compare to the Qingyun Sect? They have fallen into such a plight, don't they know that a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in?"

Zhou Yixian said this with a strange look on his face and looked him up and down.

"I consider myself to be well-informed, but your skills are beyond my reach, kid..."

He moved his butt and came closer with a serious look.
"We are old acquaintances. Can you tell me which family you belong to?"

"You haven't heard it yet."

Xu Zhiqiu laughed it off, trying to evade the question.

But Zhou Yixian's subsequent words were as precise as a nail.
"The sect is disbanded?"

"..."

Xu Zhiqiu's expression froze and he remained silent for a long time.

"...I guess so." His eyes were sad at first, but then he smiled, "Isn't this just waiting for me to rebuild it in the future?"

"You don't have to say it, but I'm just curious..." He stared at Xu Zhiqiu with shining eyes like an old prostitute selecting beauties, "Your master must be no ordinary person to have trained a disciple like you who is so upright, right?"

Whenever talking about that person, Xu Zhiqiu always felt a little lacking in composure.

After a long silence, he said dryly:

"My master is a man of self-discipline and self-righteousness, who cultivates his body and mind, and treats others with kindness. Even when facing some guilty people, he is merciful. I am far from that."

Xu Zhiqiu was lost in memories, his eyes gradually lost focus.

"Great fullness is like emptiness, and both the art and the way are sought... I don't know if I can reach the level of this old man in this lifetime."

Zhou Yixian listened and nodded slowly, then he counted on his fingers and muttered:

"Great fullness is like a rush... If we interpret it according to the hexagram image - [Shang Jiu·The arrogant dragon will regret] It says that the sage has the virtue of a dragon, and occupies the position of heaven. After a long time, he will be extremely arrogant. Things will turn around when they reach the extreme, so there will be regrets. However, this hexagram has a second interpretation for me."

"The second solution?"

Xu Zhiqiu didn't understand those miscellaneous studies and looked at him in confusion.

“Don’t understand?” Seeing him shaking his head, Zhou Yixian generously lifted the book bag for him.

"A dragon will regret flying too high; a person will seem ethereal if his realm is too high. If one only restrains himself and cultivates himself, others will unconsciously distance themselves from him in the end." "Why? Because the highbrows are unpopular..."

"After all, when approaching a perfect god, every mortal will feel that he is brilliant, but at the same time he will feel inferior."

“There’s a feeling of being burdened with a heavy weight, and in the end all you can do is look up… and then you lose your own color.”

He patted Xu Zhiqiu on the shoulder and said in a tone of advising a younger generation, half jokingly and half seriously:
"So, kid, if you want to live an easier life in the future, you have to be like me. Learn to be unrestrained, learn to be comfortable, and learn to blend in with the world!"

I don’t know how much I heard or understood.

Xu Zhiqiu listened to him in a daze, his mind feeling like a mess.

Perhaps like the villagers in Kaoshan Village,
Imitating "someone" is also the thought that has long been imprinted in his heart as a disciple of Trinity.

But is this wrong?

……

An idea suddenly popped into his mind, and he couldn't help asking:
"Hey, I still don't know how old you are."

Zhou Yixian folded his arms across his chest, leaning against the haystack.

"How old are you? I can't remember." He smiled slightly, pretending to be cool. "But I guess... at least more than three hundred, right?"

three hundred!

After hearing this, Xu Zhiqiu was speechless, and an impolite thought couldn't help but pop up in his mind.

——This old turtle
………………

The next day, the three of them took small steps into the city.

The prosperity of Heyang City was dazzling for a moment.

After all, Xu Zhiqiu had seen tall buildings before, so he was naturally immune to them.

It's just that I feel relaxed and happy inside, and there's a constant smile on my face.

However, Miss Lu seemed to be in a low mood because she was worried about something.

As for Zhou Yixian...

The old man walked down the street with a swagger, bragging to Xu Zhiqiu almost every two steps.

"Let me tell you, the biggest restaurant in Heyang City is called Shanhaiyuan, and it's famous all over the world! I'm a distinguished guest there, and I'll take you there to taste the food later. I guarantee you'll be so happy that you'll swallow your tongue."

Xu Zhiqiu glanced at him and said, "I don't have any money in my pocket anyway, so don't even think about asking me to pay."

"What are you talking about? I've been around for so many years, how can I not afford to pay for a meal?"

As he spoke, he rummaged in his pockets and arms several times, his face becoming more and more embarrassed.

Xu Zhiqiu looked at him with a unfriendly look.

really,

Thirty seconds later, Zhou Yixian rubbed his hands with a playful smile and said to Xu Zhiqiu:
"Hey, do you have a bear skin in your bag? We can take it to the pawn shop and use it to make a meal."

"..."

Half an hour later,
Heyang City, private room on the second floor.

The beautifully decorated hall was filled with wealthy families wearing brocade clothes and fox furs.

The casual makeup of these people is quite eye-catching.

Xu Zhiqiu and his companions sat by the window. The sandalwood table was filled with delicious dishes.

Fried rice cake with eight treasures, steamed deer antlers, steamed meat with pagoda, stewed fish...

The aroma made Xu Zhiqiu drool. He thought that after suffering for so long, this meal was finally a reward.

Just as he was about to ask Lu Xueqi to start eating, Zhou Yixian had already rolled up his sleeves and started eating.

Xu Zhiqiu laughed when he saw this, and couldn't help but put aside his dignity and joined the battle.

At this time, the waiter came up and handed Xu Zhiqiu an envelope.

"Sir, someone asked me to hand this to you."

"Mine?" Xu Zhiqiu hadn't finished chewing the food in his cheek. "Are you sure?"

"It should be right."

The waiter handed over the letter and went downstairs.

Xu Zhiqiu opened the envelope in confusion and found a golden hairpin in addition to a piece of paper.

A blood-stained hairpin.

There is a word clearly printed on the hairpin.
