I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 155: Li Jing invites us to serve the Emperor

The apricot tree was swaying, while the peach tree was dry with only branches left, standing quietly behind the courtyard wall.

The tea stall next to the courtyard was not very big, and there were no other customers.

There were only two tables in total. The middle-aged man sat alone at one table, and Zhou Mu and his two companions sat at another table.

The tea stall owner was a young boy who looked only about ten years old. He skillfully boiled water and made four pots of tea.
One pot was handed to the middle-aged man, and three pots were placed on the table of Zhou Mu and others.
The little boy wiped the sweat from his forehead with his coarse linen sleeves and smiled cheerfully:
"My three guests, would you like to try my mother Ao's tea milk? It is made by boiling black tea and milk together, adding sugar cubes and old ginger. A sip of it is not only fragrant and sweet, but also can dispel cold and dampness!"

"Oh?"

Chen Tonglu locked his eyes on Zhou Mu and the middle-aged man at the next table, and said with a smile on his face:
"Three bowls please."

"okay!"

The little kid smiled happily and opened the lid of the wooden barrel beside him. A rich aroma of milk mixed with tea wafted out.

Soon, the ginger tea milk was served, steaming hot. Zhou Mu took a sip and his eyes lit up slightly.

It tasted surprisingly good.

The middle-aged man at the next table sniffed and shouted:

"Tea boy, give me a bowl too."

"Okay, Master Li!"

The kid scooped another bowl.

Chen Zhien and Chen Tonglu looked at each other, and the former asked casually:
"Little boss, how old are you when you start to run a business?"

"At the end of the year, I will be ten years old."

The tea boy smiled innocently and said:

"My father used to run the tea stall, but he caught a cold recently, so the stall can't be left unattended, so I'm the one to run it. After all, a prescription is very expensive!"

"Not yet ten years old?"

Chen Zhien was surprised, thought for a moment, and said:
"Doesn't the Chen Mansion over the street have a free school? At your age, you should go to school."

Zhou Mu glanced at Chen Zhien, school?
he mused.

Tea boy scratched his head:
"My mother also asked me to go to Chen's School, but I couldn't learn. It would be better for me to start my own business earlier so that my parents can have a better life."

After a pause, he straightened his chest:

"Besides, my sister has gone to school. It's enough for me to have a sister who can read and write at home!"

Chen Zhien was silent.

Zhou Mu listened quietly. Tianjiao City was different from Quanjue City. There was no so-called life and death lottery. It was difficult for ordinary half-demons and real demons to eat people.
The monsters in the upper city got greedy and came directly to the lower city to hunt. Although it was bloody, the people here actually lived a much better life than those in Quanjue City.

After all, the number of people who die from hunting each year is less than 1 percent of the total population.
It is not surprising to have a school when life is relatively stable. In a breeding area like Quanjue City where life is precarious, there are many martial arts schools but no school at all.

"Kids of Today"

Chen Tonglu seemed to sigh:
"It's still bitter. What do you think, Mr. Zhou?"

"I?"

Zhou Mu smiled:
"When I was a kid, my life was even harder than that of a tea boy. Our street was very chaotic. From the age of six or seven, whenever I went out, I would hide knives, axes, etc. in my sleeves, under my clothes, and on the soles of my shoes. I was always in danger."

The tea boy listened curiously, and Chen Tonglu was surprised:

"Is there still a street like this in Tianjiao City?"

"There used to be one." Zhou Mu said with a smile, "It was far away from here."

His tone was gentle, and he felt that since a free school could be set up in the breeding area, the Chen family might have nothing to do with Mu Yu and the people behind him?
Well, it’s hard to say.

Chen Tonglu took a big sip of ginger tea milk, smacked his lips, as if savoring the taste, and then said:

"I didn't want Young Master Zhou to have to go through such a hard time."

Zhou Mu shook his head:

"All human beings in the world are suffering. Who is not in the sea of suffering?"

The Chen family father and daughter were stunned for a moment. The middle-aged man at the next table glanced at them and said calmly:
"Funny little guy."

The three of them looked at him. The middle-aged man looked Zhou Mu up and down, and seemed to see something. He spoke calmly:
"You are extremely talented. I haven't seen a younger generation as talented as you in many years. You said that all human beings in the world are suffering. Do you have a heart to save people from suffering?"

The Chen family's father and daughter remained calm, but were shocked. As expected!

Is this a code word?
Are they communicating something?

Zhou Mu looked at the middle-aged man in confusion, and was shocked. Could it be that he had encountered such an extraordinary person at a random tea stall? ?
He thought that he had concealed himself very well, and even a Heaven Realm cultivator would not be able to see his details, and at most they could detect his newly transformed Glazed Body.
So, this means that he has seen his own glass body?

Zhou Mu hesitated for a moment and replied:
"Yes, I do, but I don't have the energy to do it, so I won't just dream about it."

"What if I give you a chance?"

The middle-aged man put down the bowl and said calmly:

"Zhou Tian is really rare. It was so in the past, and it is even more so now."

Sunday?

The Chen family father and daughter didn't understand what was said and thought it was a code word between the two people. Zhou Mu was startled.

This is not just seeing the Glazed Body, this is seeing through the Zhoutian Acupoints in one's own body! !
Heaven Realm, unless one has special means at hand, there is no such ability!
Is he a fake immortal or earthly immortal with special means, or a creature in the third level of the fairyland?
Or.
Stronger?

Zhou Mu's heart was pounding, and he felt that his luck seemed to be a little too "good". He could meet such a person just by going out for a walk or drinking tea with Chen's father and daughter.

My mind is turning back and forth,

Zhou Mu's face remained unchanged, he showed a puzzled and solemn expression, narrowed his eyes and asked:

"Opportunity? From what this gentleman said, he can give me a chance to save people from suffering? To be honest, this is a bit... ridiculous."

After a pause, he drank the ginger tea milk, stared at the middle-aged man, and said:

"Next week, Muwu, but I don't know who this gentleman is?"

"Li Jing." The middle-aged man said lightly.

The Chen family father and daughter pondered over this name. They had no impression of it. They had not heard of it now, and they would not hear of it in the future.
Zhou Mu used up all his strength to steady his mind and body, without showing the slightest sign of being amiss.

OK OK.

He felt that if there was something like lottery in this world in his previous life, he would definitely buy one.

After searching for a long time, I finally found it. "Mr. Li."

He smiled and said:
"We are just caged birds in a breeding area. It is a bit absurd to talk about saving the world."

Zhou Mu shook his head, sighed, and drank the ginger tea milk.

Li Jing's expression was calm, without the slightest fluctuation, and he just said:

"The three of you are not ordinary people. One is a real person with fourteen orifices, and the other is a half-step celestial being. As for you, little brother Zhou, you have opened the orifices of the heavenly body and obtained a body of colored glaze. In the past, you would have been considered extremely talented."

The Chen family father and daughter stood up suddenly. Cha Wazi was confused. He didn't understand what real people and celestial beings meant.

Zhou Mu was also extremely shocked. He stood up with a serious expression:

"May I ask, Your Excellency, who is this person?"

"A dead man who should only exist in the archives."

Li Jing stood up leisurely and threw down two taels of silver, which startled the tea boy and made him smile.

He said calmly:

"My residence is right here. Why don't you three come and be my guests?"

Li Jing looked down on the Chen father and daughter - whether they were half-step celestial beings or fourteen-orifice immortals, they were nothing.

He is not even as good as a small soldier under his former command.

But, in the realm of immortality, one can open the Zhoutian acupoints and obtain a body of glazed glass?

This was unusual. Even Li Jing, who was used to seeing evildoers, was moved and began to cherish their talent.

Even that wicked boy opened his Zhoutian acupoints after getting the lotus root.
In other words, the talent of this little fellow is in no way inferior to that evil boy, and may even be better. After all, times have changed.

But the wicked child was not taught well in the beginning, and was stubborn, unruly, rebellious, and unfilial. The world said it was his fault.
A hint of obscurity flashed across Li Jing's eyes. Humph, it's clearly that evil boy's nature!
He would try again to see if he could teach a child with unparalleled talent!
thinking,

Li Jing stretched out his hand, pointed it towards the courtyard, and said calmly:
"please?"

Zhou Mu's mind turned over and over again, and he showed hesitation on his face. After a moment, he nodded slightly:
"It's fine, but..."

He looked at the Chen family father and daughter:
"You two are quite capable and secretive. I wonder if you two are going home, or..."

Chen Tonglu suppressed his fear and looked solemn—Zhoutian Qiao acupoint!
This, this, this.
He felt that the development of things seemed to have exceeded his expectations. The situation was not right, but the result seemed not bad.

Zhou Muwu is not necessarily a remnant of the deposed emperor. In fact, it seems that he has no connection with the remnants of the deposed emperor at all. But this Li Jing
definitely is.

Chen Tonglu even felt a little regretful. Did he bring this peerless genius who had opened the Zhoutian acupoints into the fire pit?

Because of his interference, will the other party's talent be used by the deposed emperor in the future, or even become the leader of a robbery or the controller of black tide affairs?

Chen Tonglu's mind was in turmoil, his expression slightly trembling, and he threw two taels of silver to the overjoyed tea boy, whose mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear.

Four taels of silver in total, not even enough to earn from selling ginger tea and milk for a month!

Watching Master Li and the three generous guests enter the courtyard, the tea boy carefully put the silver and money into his secret pocket, but did not close the stall.

This ginger tea milk will not taste good and will not sell well if we keep it until tomorrow, so we have to sell it all today!
………………

Entered the courtyard.

It was a very ordinary courtyard, a small house with three or four rooms, a small vegetable patch, an apricot tree and a peach tree.

Apart from this, there is nothing.

"Sir, are there any guests coming?"

A young man bowed, moved a few chairs to the yard, put down the tea table, and made some hot tea.

"sit."

Li Jing sat down leisurely without touching the hot tea, and said calmly:
"You three are not ordinary people. You are not the ones who can be trapped in this monster city or breeding area. I will not ask why you are staying here."

The Chen family father and daughter looked at each other without saying anything.

Zhou Mu asked:
"I still don't know who Mr. Li is?"

Li Jing shook his head slightly and changed the subject:
"I invited the three of you to come here, and I want you to work for me. In the future, you will all have the ability to save the world."

Chen Zhien remained silent, while Chen Tonglu said cautiously:
"Brother Li, what you said is really too big. I, we, are full of doubts."

After a pause, he asked again:

"May I ask Brother Li about his cultivation?"

Chen Tonglu was somewhat alarmed. He could see through his disguise and his cultivation level at a glance. This remnant of the deposed emperor named Li Jing must be at least in the heavenly realm.

It is even possible that he is an earthly immortal, or even a celestial immortal or a true immortal in the fairyland!
Look at it this way
This person must be the one among the remnants of the deposed emperor who is in charge of guarding this node!
"Practice?"

Li Jing smiled and shook his head slightly. He did not answer but asked in return:

"Have you ever heard of this, three of you?"

"Heaven?"

coming!

Zhou Mu's heart was shaken, and a look of confusion appeared on his face:

"Heavenly Court. I know about it. It is the Heavenly Dynasty that ruled the heavens, the world, and the underworld in ancient times."

"An elder once told me about the Heavenly Palace. He said that during the time when the Heavenly Palace existed, humans ruled the earth. The demons at that time were no match for the Heavenly Palace."

While Zhou Mu was speaking, Chen Tonglu and Chen Zhien did not show any expression on their faces, but just nodded to indicate that they knew about the Heavenly Court.

Li Jing nodded slightly:

"Since you know this, I can save you a lot of trouble. Since you know the Heavenly Palace, you should also know the Heavenly Emperor."

He sat up straight and spoke strange words:

"I."

"We serve the Emperor of Heaven."

"I have invited the three of you today to serve the Emperor of Heaven together, to restore the glory of Heaven, and to revive the glory of the human race."

"Well, are you willing, three?"
