Chapter 81: Introspection when you see the unvirtuous
Everyone present knew that Zhou Zheng had put a lot of effort into saving this child, so naturally no one would come out to steal the limelight.
"This is the Pillow Flow Book Club, you are safe."
This was followed by a procedural Q&A, through which Zhou Zheng learned something about the child. For example, his name is quite stylish, taking the meaning of "seeing the virtuous and thinking together, seeing the unvirtuous and introspecting inwardly", called Yuan Zijiu. And his family, just as Zhou Zheng saw, were the corpses that died tragically beside him.
Yuan Zizhi's acting skills in this Q&A are outstanding, crying when he should cry, and silent when he should be silent, which perfectly interprets the image that a disaster survivor should have. So much so that the emotions of everyone present couldn't help but change with his performance. Even Wen Siqi, who has been complaining about Zhou Zheng's nosy, saw this scene and secretly wiped the corners of her eyes because of the injury of touching the scene.
Of course, this is not to say that Yuan is not sad to introspect. Yuan Zijiu lost his family, he must be sad, but now he is still in an extremely dangerous situation, his whole spirit is tense, and there is no room for him to grieve.
Otherwise, how can there be a saying called "learn from pain, how can it be painful"? When disaster strikes, the feeling of pain does not prevail because of the distraction of the human mind. On the contrary, after the incident subsided, the heart calmed down, and when I looked back and thought about the sad past, my mind was filled with pain at that time, and it was really 100% painful.
"What are your plans for the future?"
"I don't know ......"
Yuan Zijiu tried to weave some excuses so that Zhou Zheng would let him go. But even if he is talented, he is only an eight or nine-year-old child after all. What lies can an eight- or nine-year-old ever come up with? Yuan Zijiu also realized this, so he simply gave up his attempt to lie and instead used the method of asking questions and not knowing.
After that, the conversation became more and more boring, because Yuan Zizhi had been pretending to be stupid, and Zhou Zheng naturally couldn't ask anything more. In the end, it was Zhou Zheng who took the initiative to take the responsibility and said: "I think your parents should have high expectations for you when they gave you such a name." I think you can stay with me first, and when you are better, I will find you a private school so that you can go to school well. ”
At this point, Meng Zhuo interjected a lever, he glanced at Mr. Feng, and saw that his master was silent, so he said: "Introspection, your parents were killed by demons, do you want to join our Pillow Flow Book Club?" Join our book club, you can learn advanced martial arts, slay demons, and avenge your parents. ”
Although Meng Zhuo also felt that it was more abrupt to speak like this, he thought that his words were logically correct. And he also remembered his teacher's shocked expression when he first saw Yuan Zishi. Even a master disciple like the teacher of Confucianism has never seen a child with such a powerful innate aura. There is no doubt that Yuan Zizheng will be a martial arts wizard, as long as he is trained well, the future is destined to be bright.
And because of his life experience, Yuan Zijiu will definitely have infinite self-motivation, and there will be no interference from family affairs. Although it is not good to say this, as far as cultivation is concerned, with Yuan's self-reflection, he is indeed a "high-quality disciple" that can be met but not sought.
Seeing this, Zhou Zheng didn't feel offended, but was very concerned and wanted to say, "You can choose the path you want to take." Unexpectedly, before he even had time to say this, Yuan Zishi rejected Meng Zhuo's suggestion.
"I chose Brother Zhou Zheng, he rescued me from Jinshui Town, I don't believe anyone, I only believe him." There is no doubt that this is an excuse for Yuan to introspect, but there is no flaw.
As a person with ulterior secrets, Yuan Zijiu doesn't believe anyone, only himself. But before all this, staying away from the Pillow Flow Book Club and away from Mr. Wind is his top priority.
"Okay......" Meng Zhuo sighed, a little disappointed. However, he quickly cheered up and added: "If you want to practice martial arts, you are still welcome to come to our Pillow Flow Book Club." ”
"Brother Zhou Zheng's martial arts are no worse than yours."
“……”
It was at this moment that Mr. Feng took a step forward and walked in front of Yuan Zishi. He used his eyes as deep as an abyss to firmly stare at Yuan Zijiu. Yuan Zijiu was a little weak-hearted, he wanted to stop looking away and avoid Mr. Feng's gaze, but he found that he was like a petrified and couldn't make any moves at all.
Mr. Feng used the technique of looking at qi that he had once said. This magical power is not as simple as it sounds, nor is it as simple as Sima Qian's "shape of dragon and tiger, colorful color". Really speaking, the art of looking at qi is like finding the backbone of the long river of fate from thousands of trickles. After all, human beings are social animals, and everyone is involved in the cause and effect of others, and the breath evaporating from their bodies naturally interferes with each other. The art of looking at qi is like standing on the shore, watching the waves hit the reef and splashing thousands of splashes, and judging the time and location of each splash.
It was a long time before Mr. Wind stopped his glance. And after that, he moved his gaze to Zhou Zheng and said very seriously: "If you take him in, he will quickly cause you trouble." And for his part, he is also very unstable, and may still be assimilated by the Hades Tree eventually. ”
"The Immortal Tree Seed has been destroyed by me."
"That's right, you destroyed the Hades Tree seed, but he has already obtained the inheritance of the Hades Tree. And as long as he continued to use this secret technique, he was at risk of being gradually assimilated. Even then, do you want to keep him with you? ”
"No way!" Before Zhou Zheng opened his mouth to answer, Wen Siqi took the first step and exclaimed: "Don't you think you haven't made enough trouble for yourself?" ”
"You're right, introspection is a nuisance, but that in no way justifies me from giving up on him. On Chinese New Year's Eve, for some reason, I couldn't save more people. To this day, I still don't know if my choice was right or wrong. All I know is that if I refuse to lend a helping hand to others just because of trouble, I will die...... No, if Boss Fan had abandoned me because he felt troublesome, I wouldn't have lived to this day at all. ”
As soon as these words came out, Wen Siqi understood that no matter what, she couldn't change Zhou Zheng's mind. She knows Zhou Zheng too well, whether it is him in his previous life or in this life, she knows him too well. She knew very well that if Zhou Zheng really decided that something had to be done, then he would never give up.
Thinking of this, Wen Siqi flattened her mouth and swallowed back what she was about to say. She frowned, glanced at Zhou Zheng, and said angrily: "I don't even bother to criticize you, you count me, have you ever done anything to make me happy?" ”
"Ahem!" Zhou Zheng, who was righteous, suddenly coughed violently when he heard this: "This...... This ......"
"Shut up, I don't want to talk to you."
Putting down the cruel words, Wen Siqi shook her hair and left, not giving Zhou Zheng a chance to redeem it at all. Seeing this, Imperial Physician Shi shrunk his shoulders, smiled as a cormorant, and then took the first step to leave. The reason is simple, what happens next does not belong to the category of medicine.
At this time, naturally no one would raise any objections to Zhou Zheng, he arched his hand at Mr. Feng and said, "I will use the Dharma to teach him, so that he doesn't have to use the inheritance of the Hades Tree." ”
"Since you have this determination, then I believe that you will be able to handle this matter."
At this point, the question of Yuan Zijiu's fate was determined when Yuan Zizheng was completely unable to be the master. And it was only at this time that Yuan Zijiu regained his ability to move. He glanced at Mr. Wind with palpitations, and he could not forget the fear that he was powerless to resist.
It was also at this time that Zhou Zheng realized that there was still a problem to solve. He turned his head and looked at the skeleton tiger cowering in the corner: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and the bet made seven days ago might as well be cashed out now." ”
Zhou Zheng gestured towards Meng Zhuo and motioned for him to unlock the seal on the Skeleton Tiger. Meng Zhuo had no problem with this, he summoned a violent wind, moved the Skeleton Tiger out of the cell, and locked the door of the cell, only then did he break the seal.
"Now it's okay, you can fight as much as you want." Meng Zhuo didn't care much about this, in his opinion, as long as he didn't break the things in the cell. As for the risk, with Zhou Zheng's strength, dealing with an undead with a fusion level like the Skeleton Tiger is completely a three-finger pinching snail, and ten out of ten are stable.
Only Yuan Zijiu didn't know why, and asked blankly: "What is this for?" ”
Zhou Zheng saw him asking, so he explained it roughly. After listening to the explanation, Yuan Zijiu asked: "It wasn't it that killed my family, in fact, it saved me." Just as I was about to die, it suddenly appeared and drove out the other undead. So, although it planted the seed of the Hades tree in me, I don't blame it, because without it, I would have died long ago. Even, I want to ...... Can you let it go? ”
Zhou Zheng shook his head and rejected the offer: "From the second it stepped on Jinshui Town, it was impossible for me to let it go. ”
Seeing this, Yuan Zijiu made another proposal: "Then let me come, let me end it." I will not be at odds with the undead in the future, and it all starts with it. ”
"Can you?" Zhou Zheng hasn't seen him use martial arts yet.
Yuan Zijiu explained: "My body has been transformed by the Hades Tree seed, and there is still a good chance to deal with it that has weakened. ”
Zhou Zheng thought about it for a while, said that he had no opinion, just looked at the Skeleton Tiger and asked: "Yuan Zizhi's strength is much weaker than mine, if you want, you can wave your claws, and he will fight you instead of me." If you win, then I will set you free as agreed. ”
The Skeleton Tiger looked at Yuan Zijiu, and then waved his claws to signal his agreement.
"Let me, then."
With that, Yuan Zijiu turned his head and walked towards the grinning skeleton tiger.
"You'd better be quiet." A green flame ignited in Yuan Zijiu's eyes, and the aura of death around him instantly dispersed. The Skeleton Tiger was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand how the child in front of him suddenly turned into a high-level undead. It was at this moment that a bloodless little hand was placed on the door of its head.
Almost at the same time, the soul fire of the Skeleton Tiger, like smoke rising from a pot, was instantly sucked away by the range hood, turning into a slender line of fire, and curling into Yuan Zizhi's eyebrows.
All of a sudden, the sound of "clang" was endless, which was the sound of the skeleton tiger falling apart and colliding with the ground.
"This ......" it was Meng Zhuo who exclaimed, because although the skeleton tiger was in his eyes, it was just a kitten. But even he couldn't settle the battle so easily. Thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning, and set his eyes on Yuan Zijiu, which was full of jealousy and vigilance.
But Zhou Zheng's focus was not here, he reproached: "Didn't I tell you, you are not allowed to use the secret transmission of the Hades Tree, why do you still use it?" ”
"I can't help it." Yuan's introspective answer was somewhat perfunctory.
After that, there was nothing else. Zhou Zheng took Yuan Zijiu, said goodbye to Mr. Feng and Meng Zhuo, and left the Pillow Flow Publishing House.
It's just that I didn't expect that this time I went out, there was another problem.
"Hey, where's my car?"
When he arrived at the door, Zhou Zheng found that the "good teacher" coachman uncle and the carriage were gone. He hurriedly shouted twice and called out the doorman of the Pillow Flow Book Society. After asking, okay, it turned out that Wen Siqi had a small temperament, so he got into the carriage and left.
Meng Zhuo sent the guest out, and he had already gone inside, but when he heard Zhou Zheng's voice, he turned back again. Seeing Zhou Zheng's situation, he couldn't help laughing twice, and then suggested: "It's better to take the carriage in the club." ”
Zhou Zheng thought about it and rejected Meng Zhuo's suggestion: "I have good intentions, but I suddenly thought that it would be good to take a walk." ”
In this way, Zhou Zheng was in front and Yuan Zizheng was behind, and embarked on the road back to the medical hall.
