Chapter 25 24· Kind relatives of another world
"No need to check. —The bright night sky of the ink robe on the side quickly said: "The Void Family has a total of seven heavenly realms, Void Huaili, Void as Valley, Void Haoyue, Void Yang Mu, and in addition to this, there are three other who are not surnamed Xu. That plain-clothed man is not the right age, it can't be a humble courtesy, and it's a man, it can only be a false yangmu!"
"Xuyang Mu?" Ling Mohan was stunned: "That Array Dao Master?" He had already begun to touch his chin and think, and at the same time said to himself: "In this way, the True Divine Palace and Xurugu came here to catch Xuyang Mu, but Xuyang Mu was willing to commit suicide and not want to be arrested." But after Xuyang Mu died, they didn't leave, but found out the whereabouts of that young man...... Haha, there's a problem inside, I think that young man is a great character, if not a treasure?"
"Uncle Shi is clear, and I see the same. However, I haven't heard anyone talk about the whereabouts of the young master of the He sect and the sect recently, and I think most of them are still the latter. What do we do next?"—asked the night sky.
"I still need to ask. Ling Mohan snorted: "I don't know what he wants in the True Divine Palace, but I know that this thing must be very important, so important that Shi Wunian came over in person, and so important that he is willing to confess to Lao Tzu with his arrogant character! Haha, he doesn't know that the more he wants to go, the more Lao Tzu can't let him go." Lao Tzu doesn't care what his True Divine Palace wants to do, the Hengzhu Huanyue Sect just can't let it succeed, at least not easily!" Speaking of his hand, those cases have been slapped into powder by his palm.
Although Ling Mohan is nicknamed a sword maniac and a martial neurotic, his braincase is never stupid and loves to fight—it's just his cover.
This time, I took the opportunity to make trouble for the True God Palace, if Shi Wunian generously said that Xuyang Mu stole a certain treasure from my True God Palace, maybe Ling Mohan wouldn't ask.
The Huanyue Sect is not yet cold enough to rob the treasures of the True Divine Palace. But the more he didn't talk about it, the more Ling Mohan felt that there was a problem inside, and the more he had to obstruct it, so the more he had to fight.
The six major factions are all mild on the outside, but they are secretly deceitful, and there is only one major faction that is truly friendly.
The only true friend of the Huanyue Sect is the Refining Sect, and the others are all fake politeness. If Xianque rushed to the realm of the Huanyue Sect today, he Ling Mohan would be a little stumbling, and he would be worthy of being the third uncle of the Huanyue Sect.
Hengzhi Lao Tzu is - martial madness. With his pretending and unruly style, Ling Mohan stirred up the big things of the True Divine Palace so vividly.
At this moment—as soon as the words came out, Ling Mohan had already said: "Immediately find out the identity of that kid and make the subordinates pay close attention,-I must find people before the True God Palace, I don't believe it, in our realm, we can't find them yet." In addition, if someone is sent to monitor Shi Wunian's whereabouts, it is best for him to activate the disciples of the Dark Hall, so that we can sweep away these rats hidden underground. Nancheng Yun sweated like rain: "Uncle, you want to track down Lingtai Tianjun...... The Disciples ......"
"You don't need to follow secretly, just follow openly. The handsome Ming Ye Sky has already said: "Wu Nian wishes that the Lord will come to my Wenxin Country, we must always do our best to treat others, arrange a place for them to spend the night, and find some people for them to drive, I believe that Wu Nian Wish Lord is also embarrassed to refuse my Huanyue Sect's grand offer...... You can find a few clever and interesting people to do this. ”
The disciples were clear. Nancheng Yun hurriedly replied. Although it will not be a big achievement, there are many things that can be seen from the details.
What's more, the Huanyue faction has already understood their actions, so the next thing to do is actually to pull the back legs, rather than continue to find out.
As for the facts, when you look for the kid named Zhao Zhi, you will naturally understand.
At that time, Shi Wunian and they were so anxious to stay away, and now that they think about it, that kid named Zhao Zhi should have just left not long ago. Instigated all the people in the local area, and probably found out where this Zhao Zhi went. Li Hongyang also said.
The disciples did it. Nan Chengyun retreated.
"Wait. Ling Mohan said abruptly: "Before we came, you desperately entangled in Shi Wunian, this is a very good job, I will reward my senior brother and give you the reward you deserve." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Shi!" Nancheng Yun was overjoyed. In just 2 days, the Huanyue Sect had already found out all the information needed.
That - went out alone at night, and Zhao Zhi, who was described by the people around him, there were six young people of similar age and appearance, and five of these six people had been found out, and they had nothing to do with Xuyang Mu.
Only one person, so far there is no whereabouts. It is reported that he was heading north. Ling Mohan immediately sent an order, ordering the surrounding officials to send a large number of personnel to search for this young man.
At the same time, He Feichong, who bought the local officials at a large price, also got information and organized a group of martial arts people from the countryside to look for Zhao Zhi everywhere.
But two months passed, but no one found him, as if he had disappeared into this world in the future.
Lingzhou Feilong Mansion. The twelve states of Wenxin, in terms of floor area, Lingzhou ranks fourth, in terms of heaven and earth aura resources, Lingzhou ranks tenth, and in terms of economy, Lingzhou ranks second.
It is located in the east of Wenxin, and Shenzhou is a poor and remote area in the far east, but in terms of location, it is closer to Suoyun Island, forming an important corner of the sea, without boundaries.
Sail along the shoreline from the boundless corner, and arrive at the country of the end of the sea after 30 days. Yahai and Wenxin are not connected on land, but they can be directly connected through the seaway, and the route advantage makes it have a large number of nautical miles of commerce, which also makes Lingzhou the most important economic state in Wenxin country.
Therefore, although there is a lack of spiritual energy in heaven and earth here, the status cannot be neglected. Feilong Mansion is the state hall of Lingzhou, and it is also the most prosperous place in the entire Lingzhou.
Here you will find the largest ship, the most exclusive hotels, the most luxurious hotels and the most beautiful prostitutes.
On Changsheng Street, a young man was strolling through the street at this time, and it was Zhao Zhi. He didn't listen to Xuyang Mu's - the road was facing north, but immediately after leaving Xinxiang Mansion in the north, he turned south and went south.
Xuyang Mu asked him to go north, because Huanyue Academy was in the north, and he wanted him to go to school. However, Zhao Zhi knew that the True Divine Palace could not get the Xuanbing Jian, and he would never let himself go, and he went out alone, and his whereabouts were too obvious, so he turned around immediately after the false move, and walked the mountain trail and went out at night.
It's not complicated, but it's very useful. No one could have imagined that a twelve-year-old young man would play this trick, most of the people who pursued him were looking for him in the north, and the number in the south was very small, so naturally he could not be found even if he searched through every piece of land in Wenxin Country.
Another reason for going south is that without the recommendation of Xuyang Mu, it is extremely difficult for Zhao Zhi to enter Huanyue Academy.
Huanyue Academy only recruits thousands of disciples every year. But this is the one who is a thousand famous disciples, but there are at least 100,000 people who are pursuing.
And that's not even taking into account those who can't even afford tuition and fees. The tuition and miscellaneous fees of Huanyue Academy are three hundred dollars per year.
Spiritual money is the basic coin used by cultivators, if calculated according to the official value, the spiritual money is only equal to the silver tael, but in fact, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to exchange, so in private transactions, the actual value of spiritual money has increased by three to five times.
That is to say, the tuition and miscellaneous fees for the entry of Huanyue College every year only need more than 100,000 RMB, which is only the entry fee, and the follow-up expenses are more profitable.
In fact, the entrance fee of Huanyue Academy is not profitable, but it is difficult to say about the various expenses in the future, and it is very popular to sell peripherals in the world.
In this way, because of the opening of this Huanyue Academy, from beginning to end, in order to satisfy the desire of ordinary people to seek immortals, what is practiced is the method of teaching students according to their aptitude.
In the early days, the various denominations actually used the method of selecting disciples within the sect by examining the fundamentals. Soon, however, the denominations discovered that there were many flaws with this method.
Cultivating the Tao requires the fundamentals, not the fundamentals. It seems that people want to achieve high results, IQ must be there, but not only rely on IQ, there are always some people with mediocre qualifications but extraordinary achievements.
For ordinary people who have not been able to get started, this has become the best basis for the uselessness of qualifications, so they are not convinced by the fundamental selection method.
Talking about why there is no way to cultivate, it is not a mistake, but the immortal sect is too conservative and sticks to the fundamentals.
Even if there are people in the world who are not good at all but have achieved success in cultivation, who can say that they are not one of them?
The fact is that although there are such beings, the number of them is sporadic and it is not worth teaching at all. However, sentient beings are ignorant, and they always think that others can create legends, and they must be able to do it themselves.
When Xianmen refuses, it is inevitable that he will have a secret grudge against Xianmen. In order to avoid arguing with Hongchen, protect the form, and facilitate the rule, the Xianmen finally adopted a compromise method, that is, to set up a monastery, claiming that ordinary people in the world can be hospitalized to study, as long as they reach a certain achievement, they can join the sect.
This method can be called - four breaths. —came to put an end to the mustard of the red dust fool, and felt that the sect did not give him a chance.
The second also saves the effort of identifying the root of the disciples. Identifying disciples is not just a matter of touching two at random, but also requires the elders of the sect to take action, consuming resources to test their qualifications, accumulating sand into a tower, and the loss is also large.
Three can also grow for the denomination — an unplanned income. The hearts of fathers and mothers all over the world are the same, practicing for their children, which is like a sweet and sweet life, saving and dedicating.
If you don't accept it, he will be angry with you and blame you for not giving you a chance. As for his lack of learning, it was his own imbecile, no wonder the sect, and the villagers in the family could also pinch this idea.
Finally, it is true that we can avoid staggering disciples who are not enough at all, but who are very talented. After all, those who can reach the denominational requirements of the fulfillment, no matter what the fundamentals, always have a value to create.
However, there are also some sects who feel that this kind of practice is too heavy, and the cultivator is a hermit, and he can be admired by thousands of people, so how can he teach the law and Hongchen to hold an academy?
If everyone has the opportunity to cultivate the Tao, then wouldn't the immortals be demoted? But the facts show that only by opening the door wide can we recruit talents, and those who are conservative will eventually be eliminated by the times.
The six major sects, such as the Huanyue Sect True God Palace, can become the most powerful sect in the Danxia Realm, in addition to their strong background, they must make changes first, and finally achieve their current dominant position.
And these stubborn sects, because of the scattered disciples, overstretched, finally slowly quieted down and disappeared into the long river of history.
However, in the long process of evolution, Huanyue Academy has slowly changed from a college facing all ordinary people to an academy controlled by wealthy families from all walks of life.
Naturally, the path of cultivation is not the only way, but it is difficult to enter the Huanyue Academy, and it is not easy for other immortal sects to enter.
Just like Xuyang Mu, Zhao Zhi has been with him for so long, and he has not been able to pass on the immortal technique. These immortal masters who came out of the sect almost all swore that they would not pass on the immortal arts of their own sect - when the heavens opened the door for ordinary people, they would always close the other door.
As the best and most promising cultivation path in Wenxin, Huanyue Academy is also the most fiercely competitive and even the most miserable!
In short, the poor study of literature, the rich practice of martial arts, and the cultivation of the Tao are poor for three generations! The path to immortality is difficult, and just the way to go to school is enough to discourage most people.
When it comes to money, Zhao still has it. The Emerald Light Sword that Xuyang Mu gave him was a good treasure with a high value, but to sell it was tantamount to exposing himself.
Second, this was given to him by Xuyangmu, and he was reluctant to sell it. What's more, even if he has money, he doesn't have that way to get in.
Unless he is nine turns and has outstanding talents, he can make an exception to be hired. Therefore, if you want to enter the college, you must find a unique way.
Finally, with the half of Xuyang Mu's time, Zhao Zhi was not completely ignorant of the cultivation world, so before he came, he had already made overall preparations.
Walking on Changsheng Street at this moment, Zhao Zhi saw a hotel nearby, and people were bustling, which was quite lively.
Zhao Zhi went in, sat down at a table and ordered a few home-cooked dishes, and then ate and drank by himself. He was not in a hurry, he just slowly buried his head in eating and drinking, and when the meal passed, the number of guests gradually decreased, Zhao Zhi waved his hand and shouted to Xiao Er, and took out a few copper plates and put them in his palm: "Little second brother, there is a question to be discussed." The little second smiled and put away the copper plate: "What instructions do you have?"
"I'm new to this Feilong Mansion, and I'm not very familiar with many situations here, so I want to find someone to understand. ”
"What do you want to know?"
"There are a lot, but I want to know most about which people in this Flying Dragon Mansion have the most status. ”
"This ......," the little two hesitated. Zhao Zhi smiled, and stuffed a few copper plates over: "Don't get me wrong, you look at me like a thief or something?" That Xiao Er looked at Zhao Zhi, looked at him, he looked like a young man, and he really didn't look like a bad person, and it was unlikely that a real thief would inquire in this way, so he said with relief: "There are five big families in this Feilong Mansion, Jin, Zhang, Gu, Wei, and Zhou, which are very powerful in Feilong Mansion, and it can be said that the wealth of half Feilong Mansion is all these five families." ”
"Tell me about it. Zhao Zhi pointed to the dishes on the table. The little second saw that there were no guests, so he sat down coolly, took the wooden chopsticks and said while eating: "This Feilong Mansion wants to say that the largest clan, the first to recommend the Jin family." The Jin family made a fortune by running boats, and now there are six out of ten big ships in this ship, either they belong to his Jin family, or they are controlled by his Jin family, and there are more than a dozen cultivators under his command, which is called powerful. The Zhang family is a wealthy bureaucracy, the current old man of the Zhang family used to be the right director of the official residence department, that is the official of the four products, and the old friends of the disciples are all over the world, and I don't know how many officials are from the Zhang family. They have the most fields in the entire Feilong Mansion, especially the Lingtian, which is almost all in the hands of the Zhang family. After a few bites of food, Xiao Er continued: "The ancient family is a dark force, I heard that at first it was the dark force of the Feilong Mansion, and the family seems to be a cultivator, and I heard that it is involved with what sect, and I don't understand it very well, I know that this family is extremely vicious, and its reputation is also the most smelly, mainly engaged in dart shops, gambling houses, pawns, in addition to usury, and collecting money from local small gangs, raising a lot of thugs. The Wei family and the Zhou family have only risen in the past few years, and most of the transactions they do are on the street, and many of the large and small shops in this Feilong Mansion belong to these two families. The Wei family specialized in goods stores, cloth shops, hotels, hotels, pharmacies, tailor shops, and rice grain shops, and did the trade of the common people. The Zhou family specializes in flower workshops, jewelry, danqing and silver villages, and mostly gets along with princes and generals. Our hotel was opened by a distant relative of the Wei family. ”
"I see, that's ......" Zhao Zhi thought for a while, and then asked: "Then if I want to serve, where do you feel that I will serve?" Xiao Erle was happy, and looked at Zhao Zhi deeply, with a full face
"I knew it was like that," and replied, "It's hard to be effective." These families, the first three families, all of them have existed here for centuries, and even the servants raised by their subordinates have been passed down from generation to generation. The son of the director is the director, and the son of the number room will also be the number room in the future, and he is so loyal, outsiders want to go in, it's difficult!"
"The ...... of the two families of Nawei and Zhou"
"They're recruiting outsiders, but they need to be innocent. ”
"Worth innocent...... Zhao Zhi muttered softly. His worth is small, but he is not innocent.
Fu asked Xiao Er some things again, and after understanding the basic situation here, Zhao Zhi retired and left. The next day, Zhao Zhi wandered around the Flying Dragon Mansion, - for more than ten days, and then he disappeared again............ - Shaking his eyes, winter is coming.
The winter of this year in the Flying Dragon Mansion seems to be particularly cold, and it snows all over the night at night. - When he got up early in the morning, Chu Laohan saw the white swaying pieces on the street, and the courtyard of his house was actually full of thick snow.
Shaking his head, the old man went out to clean the snow in the courtyard. After finishing the work, Old Man Chu hung down his sore back and sighed: "Hey, I'm really old, I don't use it, and this year's body is bad again." He coughed a few more times.
A voice came from the house: "Old man, don't forget to sweep the snow off the door." ”
"Clear, old woman. Old Man Chu didn't reply in a good voice. I pushed the door open and was about to clean it, but I felt as if I had kicked something under my feet.
Looking down, Old Man Chu's expression changed greatly: "It's amazing, old woman, someone...... Someone died on our doorstep!"
"What?" "Down---, an old woman has rushed out of the door, and came to the door-look, no, there is a person lying on his back in front of his door, covered with snow, if it weren't for the old man Chu kicking-down, I'm afraid he wouldn't have noticed.
The old woman hurriedly squatted down, took a serious look, and said softly: "God, this is still a baby, why did it die?"
"Evil!" Chu Laohan also sighed. At this moment, he has also recognized that the person who died at the door of his house is obviously a young man who is not yet an adult.
At this moment, the corpse on the ground suddenly moved, and the two old men jumped up at the same time in horror, but soon came back to their senses, and the old woman had already shouted, "Still alive!"
"Quick! carry the man back into the house!" the two old men moved in unison, carrying the young man on the ground into the house.
Finally, although the two of them were old, they were both accustomed to work, and the young man was light enough to move.
As soon as he was put on the big bed, the old man Chu had already said: "Hurry up, old woman, go and boil a bowl of ginger soup for him to drink, you can't be negligent at this time!" The old woman had already hurried to boil ginger soup.
—A bowl of ginger soup into his stomach, the young man seemed to have some energy, and his eyes were slowly opened.
"Wake up, wake up!" cried the old woman excitedly. The old couple were relieved at the same time, and the old man Chu smiled lightly: "It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up! I can't imagine that I, Chu Nanfu, can save people's lives when I'm old, and I still keep up with it, hehe." The old woman said to him without a good voice: "Look at your strength, let Xing'er know tomorrow that I have to laugh at you." "But I was also very happy in my heart.
The young man woke up and looked from side to side as if he had realized something. Suddenly flipped and sat up, and knelt down with a puff: "Thank you to the two old men for saving the boy's life, the boy will swear to repay the two old men even if he dies!"
"Get up, get up, talk about what you're doing. The old woman had already hurriedly lifted the young man up, and then asked him why he had fainted at the door of her house.
Only then did the young man reply that he had come from Notanihara to avoid trouble, and that the horses in Notanihara were arrogant, and that there was a lot of annihilation.
Although the immortal family has been purged, those ringing horses are like grass in the ground, every time they kill the waves and come out of the waves, they can't be cleaned.
This young man was killed by the wild valley sounding horse, causing people to lose their families and ruin, and finally avoided the disaster and came to the Feilong Mansion, but in the end, he fell into the street because of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and almost froze to death outside the Chu family.
The old woman looked at the young man's emaciated appearance, and felt great pity in her heart, and said, "It is really a pain for this baby, who came from such a far away place, and was just in time for the first snowfall of this winter, and almost killed his life." If he is allowed to go out, there will be no place for him, but I am afraid that he will still die on the street. As she spoke, she looked at Chu Laohan, although she didn't say anything, Chu Laohan already knew what she meant.
"This ...... Fortunately, I'm not here, and I'm the two of us at home, so I'm afraid it's not very suitable......" The old man hesitated.
The old woman patted the old man's head and scolded: "What do you think, a child is helpless, do you really see him starving and dying of cold on the street? Send the Buddha to the West Heaven!"
"But his origin is unknown......"
"What is of unknown origin, are you Chu Nanfu still a big family, which one is worth coveting?" Chu Laohan touched his head, thinking-thinking too, although he has been taken care of by the director of the Wei family in recent years, and his son has been much better, but in the end, he is just a common man, and he can't be interested in himself.
is saying that he Chu Lao Han has always been kind to the countryside, and his reputation is well-known, and he can't have any enemies. Thinking of this, he bowed his head and said: "That is it, you will live in my house first, and then ...... after you have searched for it" He wanted to talk about waiting for the search to be done, and then move away after he had a way out, but he didn't expect that the young man heard these words, and immediately fell to the ground: "Thank you for the old man's shelter, the boy has received the grace of the two old people's regeneration, and he will definitely take the two old men as his father and mother in the future, and take the son as his son!"
"Ah?" the old man was stunned, and the old woman laughed and groaned, and touched the young man's head: "Yes, yes! By the way, baby, I don't know what your name is. The young man had already raised his head, revealing star-like eyes: "My name is Zhao Zhi!"
