139 New Beginnings
After Zhao Zhengguang sighed at pity, he stared at Shen Muzhi for a while, and then beckoned him to move forward.
Shen Muzhi hesitated and took two steps forward.
"What's the matter, I'm afraid I'll eat you?" Zhao Zhengguang snorted.
Shen Muzhi had no choice but to take a few steps forward and stand in front of Zhao Zhengguang.
"Take it. Zhao Zhengguang's hand flashed slightly, and a long wooden box appeared out of thin air, and then handed it to Shen Muzhi.
Although Shen Muzhi had seen similar methods in Xuan Cheng and He Xian, Zhao Zhengguang's method so close to him at this moment still made him couldn't help but be surprised.
"What is this?" Shen Muzhi looked at the wooden box and didn't reach out to pick it up.
Zhao Zhengguang replied: "You are now nominally my disciple of Zhao Zhengguang, so you can't be too shabby." Take it, I gave it to you for He Xian's master. ”
When Shen Muzhi heard this, after a little hesitation, he still stretched out his hands and respectfully took it, then held the box, took a step back, and bowed to Zhao Zhengguang: "Disciple thanked Master." ”
"Hmm. Zhao Zhengguang nodded, then waved his hand, signaling him to step back.
Seeing this, Shen Muzhi didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly bowed down and retreated.
He had just walked away when a man suddenly walked out of the door of the small octagonal attic behind him.
If Shen Muzhi was here, he might be able to recognize this person.
"Senior brother just wanted this kid to marry Changying, was he serious?" Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but ask after he walked to the table and sat down. In the pretended calm voice, although it had tried hard to hide it, it still accidentally revealed a little complaint.
Zhao Zhengguang didn't look at him, and looked at a jade plate on the stone table, and there were many lines on the jade plate. Zhao Zhengguang stretched out his hand, and lightly touched a certain place on the jade plate, a little golden light flashed away, and then the lines on the jade plate were as if they had come to life, and they bloomed with glittering light one by one, flowing slowly.
"Or else?" Zhao Zhengguang replied lazily.
When Xu Xiangyang heard this, the dissatisfaction that he had been suppressing just now suddenly became a little unbearable, and he frowned and asked, "How can this work?" Although that kid has a good character, he ...... it."
"You also said that Shen Muzhi's kid has a good character. Zhao Zhengguang interrupted him.
"But ......" Xu Xiangyang wanted to refute again, but Zhao Zhengguang didn't give him this opportunity, as soon as he raised his head, he looked at Xu Xiangyang with a faint gaze, and immediately silenced him.
"Nothing good. After Zhao Zhengguang glanced at Xu Xiangyang, his gaze fell back on the jade plate, and then he suddenly snorted again: "This kid still hasn't agreed!
Xu Xiangyang looked at the senior brother in front of him, and after the dissatisfied emotions just now gradually calmed down, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and after staring at Zhao Zhengguang suspiciously, he couldn't help asking: "Senior brother seems to like this kid quite a lot." ”
When Zhao Zhengguang heard this, he nodded without hesitation: "When I first saw this kid at the bottom, I thought it was not bad. ”
"Then Senior Brother's recovery of him as an apprentice shouldn't just be for He Xian's sake, right?" Xu Xiangyang thought about it, and then asked tentatively.
Zhao Zhengguang raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "For what, is it important?" As he spoke, he glanced up at Xu Xiangyang again, "Remember, the result is always the most important." ”
Xu Xiangyang fell silent.
He had to admit the correctness of Zhao Zhengguang's words.
A lot of times, people will say that the result is not important, the process is what matters. But in reality, the result is always the most important thing.
"That Liu Guan of the Yunze Sect hasn't been found yet?" Zhao Zhengguang asked as he raised his hand and brushed the stone table. The long sleeves swept across the table, and the jade plate on it was gone.
Xu Xiangyang heard the sound, came back to his senses, and nodded.
"Who was chasing him at that time?" Zhao Zhengguang asked again.
Xu Xiangyang recalled for a moment and replied: "Zhong Zhenming and Qi Yantao of Jiuhua Peak, as well as Master Yun's nephew and nephew. However, Master Yun's nephew came back first because of something temporary. ”
After Zhao Zhengguang heard this, he pondered.
Xu Xiangyang didn't bother him, and he couldn't help but think of what Zhao Zhengguang said just now, 'The result is always the most important'.
This sentence reminded him of the incident many years ago.
Even after all these years, every scene of that incident was still clear, and he could even remember the expressions on the faces of those people when they said those words in the main hall.
Is it really just out of anger?
Or is it more because of selfishness?
However, as the senior brother said, the result is the most important thing, so whether it is selfishness or anger, no one cares at all, everyone cares, only that ending.
As long as the ending is what everyone wants, that's fine.
"By the way, has there been any recent movement from the Worm Mountain?" Zhao Zhengguang's voice once again pulled Xu Xiangyang's thoughts back from those memories.
Xu Xiangyang paused for a moment before he realized what Zhao Zhengguang asked, and hurriedly replied, "No." It was quiet all the time. ”
"That means that he really didn't save the phoenix bird?" Zhao Zhengguang asked again.
Xu Xiangyang thought for a while and said: "According to He Xian, that phoenix bird was injured before and almost died, and that one made a blood contract to save her, and reshaped the phoenix bird's heart with Shen Muzhi's hard work. Later, the Taoist priest took Shen Muzhi to find him, and the one personally lifted the blood contract on Shen Muzhi's body. As soon as the blood contract is removed and the essence and blood are dispersed, it is impossible for the phoenix bird to survive. ”
After listening to this, Zhao Zhengguang's expression suddenly became playful, and he muttered to himself: "It's really unkind!"
Xu Xiangyang did not answer.
He didn't know much about that person. However, the demon clan has always been ruthless, and it is not surprising that the one in the mountain made such a decision.
After all, if she wants to rescue the phoenix bird, she must leave Worm Mountain.
For hundreds of years, there has been no water from the well between the mountain and their monks. But once she steps out of the mountain, the peaceful situation of hundreds of years may be broken.
Although the bloodline of the phoenix bird is precious, compared with the entire Worm Mountain, it is naturally very obvious which is more important.
Therefore, such a decision seems to be a bit unkind, but it is actually the most rational and ideal.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiangyang suddenly thought of what Zhao Zhengguang just said, 'The result is always the most important'. The decision of the one who was on the hill seems to have verified this. The result is the most important thing, because what everyone can see is often the result, not the process.
No one cares about what kind of mental journey the person in the mountain was when he made this decision. They only care about the final result, and then comment on the mountain like a senior brother, 'It's really unkind'......
Xu Xiangyang suddenly felt a little tired in his heart.
When I was young, I thought that this cultivation was chic and comfortable. When the Tao is successful, the sword is in the world, and there is no way to go. This picture, just thinking about it, makes people feel very yearning. But gradually, he discovered that the days on the mountain were actually no different from the days below the mountain. It's the same deceit, it's the same intrigue, it's not much better than the mountain, and even sometimes, it's more insidious and ruthless, and if you're not careful, you'll never recover.
Just like it was back then......
"What are you thinking?" Zhao Zhengguang suddenly said out, interrupting his thoughts.
Xu Xiangyang came back to his senses and replied with a smile: "It's nothing." ”
"It's lonely for the girl to live alone on Linqi Island, you say, what if I let Shen Muzhi's kid move to Linqi Island to be a companion with the girl with the girl?" Zhao Zhengguang said as he tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, and the serious look between his eyebrows showed that his words were not just a whim or a joke.
Xu Xiangyang immediately frowned, and said nervously: "Senior brother, is this going to continue to match the two of them? Didn't Shen Muzhi say that he already had a marriage contract?"
"Didn't you say that the phoenix bird couldn't be alive? Since they are all dead, then this marriage contract must also be invalidated! Shen Muzhi's kid hasn't come out for the time being, so he has a tendon. After a long time, it will naturally gradually forget about the phoenix bird. Therefore, let the two of them get along more now, cultivate and cultivate feelings, and then mention the matter between him and the girl with Changying, it will naturally be a matter of course!" Zhao Zhengguang laughed again after thinking about it, and seemed to be very satisfied with his plan.
Xu Xiangyang frowned, endured his dissatisfaction, and asked, "Senior brother, can you tell me, why are you so insistent on giving the long tasseled girl to that kid?"
"Then who do you think can marry the girl besides him?" Zhao Zhengguang looked at him, smiled, and asked lightly.
Xu Xiangyang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Why do we have to get married? We cultivators are no better than ordinary people under this mountain, why should we be obsessed with this marriage?"
"Then you mean, in this life, you will let the girl carry so many things by herself? Do you bear it?" Zhao Zhengguang looked at him, with a slight disappointment in his eyes.
Xu Xiangyang was shocked, looked at Zhao Zhengguang, and was speechless for a while.
"Alright, you can go back. I still have some business, so I won't send it to you. Zhao Zhengguang suddenly gave an eviction order.
Xu Xiangyang looked at him and wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, before the voice could come out, Zhao Zhengguang stood up and walked towards the building without knowing his head.
Seeing this, Xu Xiangyang had no choice but to get up and leave.
Another place of Zhengyang Peak, Zhao He's residence, Hefeng Residence, is located in the southwest of Zhengyang Palace.
Shen Muzhi had just been led here, and He Xian was talking to Zhao He and Zhou Yu.
Seeing Shen Muzhi coming, He Xian hurriedly introduced Zhao He to him.
After Shen Muzhi saw the salute, Zhou Yu glanced at the wooden box he was holding, and then took out a wooden box, but it was much smaller, and said, "Be careful, I hope the little junior brother will not dislike it." ”
Shen Muzhi was a little flattered, and subconsciously turned his head to look at He Xian. He Xian smiled and nodded: "This is Zhou Yu's intention as a senior brother, you can accept it." ”
When Shen Muzhi heard this, he stretched out his hand to take it, and just as he was about to say thanks, Zhao He, who was wearing a green shirt next to him, also handed over a box, which was about the same size as Zhou Yu's.
"Welcome. After Zhao He said two words briefly, he smiled shyly at him.
After Shen Muzhi took it, he thanked the two of them one by one, and his heart was a little warm.
"Senior Brother He, aren't you still going to find my master, you go, we just take the little junior brother around this peak and meet the elders!" Zhou Yu said, and squeezed his eyebrows at He Xian, that look made Shen Mu's heart a little worried.
He Xian didn't know if he could see Zhou Yu's thoughts, so he smiled anyway, and then left Shen Muzhi with Zhou Yu and Zhao He and left.
As soon as he left, Zhou Yu said, "Let's put the things here first, and the two of us will take you to meet the elders." You will be the third disciple of the peak master of Zhengyang Peak in the future, and these elders still have to meet and get to know each other. After speaking, the smile on his face became a little fuller, and Shen Mu's heart became more and more bottomless.
However, now that Zhou Yu is also his senior brother, and what he said is reasonable, he is now the third disciple of Zhao Zhengguang, so it is only natural to meet the elders of Zhengyang Peak. So, I had no choice but to listen to Zhou Yu, handed over everything to Zhao He, and put it away by him, and then followed him out of the door.
The first person to meet was Yu Xin, Elder Yu.
When they went, Elder Yu was teaching with his disciples, and when he heard that someone outside reported that Zhou Yu and Zhao He had come over, he hurriedly came out to meet him.
As soon as he came out, after seeing Zhou Yu and Shen Mu standing beside Zhao He, he was stunned for a moment, and then the expression in his eyes changed slightly, and he took two steps forward and forward, and said with a smile: "This can't be Shen Muzhi, the newly recruited disciple of Lord Zhao Feng recently, right?"
The matter of Zhao Zhengguang, the peak master of Zhengyang Peak, accepting apprentices is naturally a big deal. These days, not to mention the people on their own Zhengyang Peak, even the entire Great Sword Sect is already well known.
These elders on Zhengyang Peak had already been prepared, just waiting for the new disciple of this peak master to come to the door.
Therefore, when I saw Zhou Yu and Shen Muzhi beside Zhao He at this moment, although they had never met, they couldn't guess anywhere.
After Zhou Yu smiled and nodded, he introduced to Shen Muzhi: "Muzhi, this is Elder Yu." ”
When Shen Muzhi heard this, he stepped forward and saluted.
Elder Yu stretched out his hand to help him up, looked at it with a smile, and said, "Young talent, not bad." After speaking, he turned his head and instructed the disciples who followed behind: "Go and bring the purple wood box on the shelf in my room." ”
The disciple hurriedly took Shen Muzhi's gaze and turned around to get something.
Here, Elder Yu invited Shen Muzhi and the three of them to sit down.
Zhou Yu refused with a smile: "If you want to meet the other elders, I won't sit down." Today I came to bring Muzhi to you to see the old man, and I am familiar with my face. In the future, when you meet on the peak, it is easy to get to know each other. ”
After speaking, the disciple who went to get the box also came back, holding a purple wood box in both hands.
After Elder Yu took it, he handed it to Shen Muzhi with a smile: "A little greeting gift, don't dislike it." ”
"Muzhi, take it, this is a little bit of Elder Yu's heart, if you don't accept it, it will be a disappointment of his old man's heart. Zhou Yu smiled brightly beside him.
Elder Yu glanced at him, and the smile on his face was a little more helpless.
Shen Muzhi reached out in embarrassment and took it, and then hurriedly bowed down to thank him.
After saying goodbye here, Zhou Yu helped him put away the purple wood box, and took him to the next place with Zhao He.
After a circle, the three of them visited the eight elders, as well as two senior brothers who had a good relationship with Zhou Yu, Shen Muzhi received a bunch of gifts, large and small boxes, all of which were collected by Zhou Yu.
On the way back, Zhou Yu smiled, and the corners of his mouth were almost to the root of his ears.
Zhao He was shy, but looking at Zhou Yu so happy, there was a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.
And Shen Muzhi, through this visit, also has a new understanding of his two senior brothers.
Especially his own big brother, this character is really interesting.
The second senior brother, Zhao He, has few words and is shy, but he seems to be a good person.
After returning to Zhao He's Hefeng Residence, Zhou Yu took out all those things one by one and put them on the table, plus the three boxes before, the table was like a hill.
Zhou Yu stood beside him, looking at the hill, with a smile on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
"These elders are like iron roosters on weekdays, but this time, thanks to the little junior brother, they finally plucked their hair! Thinking about the pain in the back of Elder Wu and the others, I feel happy!" Zhou Yu laughed as he said.
Zhao He was beside him, and smiled softly with Shen Muzhi helplessly: "Senior brother is rarely like this, but he is more happy when you get started today." ”
Shen Muzhi looked at him, and then at Zhou Yu, he was in a good mood.
That's a good start. He thought.
