Chapter 6: The Wind Rises.
Approaching Qingzhou City, Xiao Cui automatically got into the sleeves very spiritually, and the fat black also jumped into the prepared cloth pocket and curled up. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info to the two little guys, not to see the strange nature of the living, Zhang Qi is both funny and curious, Xiaocui is a snake, it is inevitable to scare people, but it is easy to understand, you are a fat black cat, what is there to hide? Maybe you have been hurt by others, timid.
The defenders of the city gate all knew Zhang Qi, and he was a child, carrying a fish basket and cloth bag, and they all knew that he had gone to the mountains to play again. There was no check-in at all, and he smiled and greeted a few words, Zhang Qi was also very polite, without the arrogance of the children of the family.
The streets were very messy, and the traces of the aftermath of the war were everywhere, and the citizens silently cleaned up the bricks and tiles of their homes, rummaged through the household belongings that were still usable, and built many tents in the open space for the temporary residence of those whose homes were destroyed, and the soldiers who guarded and patrolled the city wrapped strips of white cloth around their arms to mourn the fallen soldiers. But in the bleak and sad atmosphere, the shops opened their doors, all kinds of business began to flourish, pedestrians wandered and shopped, and children chased and laughed on the streets, this is not forgetting, but life must go on, and Qingzhou City began to regain its vitality and return to normal.
Zhang Qi returned to his hut, felt hungry, rummaged for a while, and even had no cold steamed buns, if it was before, he would have endured it, but somehow, today he felt so hungry that he swallowed his saliva. Now the canteen must be closed, with his current situation, it is difficult to ask the master to get a little, when he is embarrassed, his heart suddenly moved, there are ready-made fish and shrimp, he can't get it to the end, after figuring it out, he immediately started, found a few bricks and stones, simply built a stove, and then found a crockpot to clean, cleaned up several large fish and shrimp, put it in the crockpot, and put it in the crockpot, filled with water, but there is no salt, let alone seasoning, it will be.
The fire was raised, and after a while, as the water boiled, the aroma overflowed, and it felt like a picnic in a previous life. Zhang Qi ate happily, and even Fei Hei and Xiao Cui, who usually didn't know where to hide, lay next to him, watching him eat curiously, as if he thought, how can fish and shrimp eat like this? Everything seems so quiet and warm. Suddenly, the black hair on the fat black neck stood up and disappeared without a trace, and Xiao Cui lifted her body straight and bounced into the night like lightning. Zhang Qi was stunned, who would come at such a late hour? I listened carefully, there was no movement, and after waiting for a while, I didn't see anyone, "It's strange, the two little guys are nervous." He opened his throat and continued to eat.
Under a tree not far from Zhang Qi, a figure stood quietly in the shadow of the tree, carefully examined Zhang Qi and his hut, and finally observed him with cold eyes, until Zhang Qi finished eating, cleaned up and went to bed, and then turned around and quietly left. When he returned to the guest room, his face was full of doubts, "I obviously felt that two demonic qi came from there, why did they suddenly disappear, did they escape?" the man muttered to himself. This is a middle-aged man, with a slender body, eyebrows flying up, and a sparkle between the opening and closing of his eyes, which is very imposing.
The next day, Zhang Qi went out early and went to Longshan Stone Stream, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. Since yesterday when a trace of aura was introduced, the whole person was full of energy, swept away the previous weakness and decadence, and felt that the body was very good. Strive to introduce a little more today, and if you continue like this, maybe the adult assessment in the house can really pass. Not long after he went out, the middle-aged man also walked into the guest room of the old lady of Zhangfu.
This middle-aged man, in fact, is also a lineage of the Zhang family, the Zhang family, thousands of years of branches, almost all over the Yu Dynasty, Qingzhou Zhang's reason for boasting of being authentic, is because Qingzhou is the birthplace of the Zhang family, the ancestor of the Zhang family, is from Qingzhou, followed the grandfather of the Dayu Dynasty to fight the world, and returned to Qingzhou after becoming famous, so now Qingzhou Zhangfu, can be said to be the ancestral court of the Zhang family.
"Brother Yue Ran, came to see me so early, but the reception in the house was not good?" The old lady of Zhang's mansion is called Zhang Desheng, with a tough figure, strong spirits, and a faint divine light, and he is by no means a simple old man. Hearing that Zhang Yueran, who was of his generation, had been invited to see him early, he hurriedly greeted him in surprise, and he had to put on a correct posture, because Zhang Yueran was not an ordinary person, but a qi practitioner. Although there are also a lot of qi practitioners in his own house, and there are secrets that cannot be humanized to outsiders, as long as the other party is not too excessive, it is better to be kind, not to mention that it is a family, and the feelings are in place, which is inevitably beneficial.
Zhang Yueran also knew the authentic heritage of the sect, so he didn't dare to hold it up, so he sued him and said: "Brother Desheng, there is a lot of disturbance, I am in a small sect of the poor family, and I have nothing to do, and I have a bottle of big Dan to show respect." After speaking, he handed over a small porcelain vase. Da Huan Dan is not of much use for cultivation, but for ordinary people, it is equivalent to a panacea, and it is hard to find, and people who practice martial arts need it to regulate qi and blood. Zhang Desheng was shocked and moved, and loudly shirked: "Alas, it's too precious, I can't help it! We are a family, how can we bother." Zhang Yueran smiled slightly, and stuffed the big return pill into Zhang Desheng's hands, "Since it is a family, my brother should accept it." Zhang Desheng accepted it happily, and the conversation between the two was much more pleasant.
Qingzhou smoke, and the sky descended a vision, was noticed by many people, although it is not clear, but many sects have sent people to rush over, to explore the cause of wishes, to find out if there is a treasure born, even some loose cultivation, have rushed to Qingzhou to meet the opportunity, because it is the dragon outside the city, the tiger two mountains, from time to time there are practitioners haunted. Zhang Yueran is just a monk in the late stage of Qi cultivation, and the Xingyun Sect where he is located is a small sect with poor resources, and when he was preparing for the foundation building, he heard the news and volunteered to come to investigate, hoping to gain something. But apart from the secret method of the sect, there was a situation of star disorder at that time, and there was no other discovery. The two mountains were also investigated, and there was nothing unusual except for the collapse of rocks and trees. The names of the dragon and tiger mountains are bluffing, in fact, they are not majestic and meandering, nor are they on the spiritual veins, the mountains are all flowers and grasses, and the birds and beasts that grow in them are ordinary birds and beasts.
In addition to being disappointed, when I was about to go back, I felt two demonic qi appear in the house that night, although it was extremely weak, but it was very unusual, if I could catch the training of this life spirit pet, it was a big help for cultivation, even if I didn't use it, I could sell a lot of spirit crystals. At that time, I searched for it, and the demonic aura suddenly disappeared, and then I saw that scene, because in the house, I didn't know what the identity of the child was, so I couldn't torture it with great fanfare, so I endured it.
The two talked warmly about the changes in Zhang's current affairs and the strange things in various places, and Zhang Desheng carefully told the story of the Qingzhou War, especially the situation of the vision that night. The speaker is intentional, the listener is unintentional, Zhang Yueran pretended to be inadvertent, and pulled Zhang Qi's body, "I had nothing to do last night, I walked around the house, and saw a child living alone in a house in the northwest corner, a little pitiful, who is he?" Zhang Desheng was stunned for a moment, thought about it and still couldn't remember, called the housekeeper and asked, only to apologize and sigh: "Alas, it is the orphan of the four-room old thirteen." Then he gave a general description of Zhang Qi's situation, and finally said in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel: "This kid has mediocre qualifications, and he is greedy and lazy, and he doesn't change it after saying it a few times, so he can only go, you also know the clan rules, and he is about to become an adult, so send him a good livelihood, and it can be regarded as an explanation for his dead father." Zhang Yueran listened thoughtfully, and chatted a few words of farewell.
Zhang Desheng looked at his distant back suspiciously, and also thoughtfully, why did this person suddenly pay attention to the child who was not a weapon, it didn't make sense! They are all old ghosts, one is deeper than the other.
