Chapter 22 The Old Secretary
(Poor with little collection, brothers who don't have a collection, please collect it casually)
Looking at the sneer on the corner of Zhou Chen's mouth, the old man reacted, like this, he can see through the five roots of other people's techniques, it is obviously the secret method of the other party, and even the secret of the other party's master is not accurate, I think he has lived for most of his life, and he has also seen a lot of martial arts people, but he has never heard of someone who can see through a person's five roots at a glance, such a secret technique, he inquired so casually, it can be regarded as breaking the rules.
Seeing that Zhou Chen just sneered, but there was no other words of blame, the old man couldn't help but look up at Zhou Chen a few points more, but his mouth was full of apologies: "Hehe, but I'm so confused that I almost broke the rules of martial arts, and I ask my little brother to forgive me!! ”
Seeing that the old man did not continue to ask, but apologized to himself, Zhou Chen couldn't help but feel a little good about this old man, and nodded slightly: "It's okay!! Zhou Chen didn't pay attention to the martial arts rules at all, and didn't tell the old man the reason why he could see through his five roots at a glance, nor out of scruples about the rules of the martial arts, but the old man's cultivation was too low, for an acquired martial artist who hadn't even reached the innate realm, talking about what Jindan Avenue was tantamount to playing the piano to the cow!
"Little brother, little brother, why do you say that this place is not suitable for me to cultivate?" Seeing that Zhou Chen didn't mean to blame himself, after hesitating a little in his heart, the old man asked. The old man has practiced martial arts all his life, but now he has fallen into a bottleneck, and after reaching the ninth grade of the day after tomorrow, he has not broken through for several years, if he can make his cultivation go further, the old man definitely does not mind humbly asking a hairy boy who can only be his grandson.
Zhou Chen didn't answer the old man's words directly, and after looking around a little, he pointed to a cypress forest located in the east of the ancient apricot orchard, these cypress trees have been planted in the last twenty or thirty years, among the many trees in this ancient apricot orchard, they are relatively young, but they are also lush and good, and they look like they are full of vitality, but compared with the lush branches of these hundred-year-old apricots, it is a lot worse.
"There, it's much better than the current cultivation place!!
Although the old man already looked at Zhou Chen a little differently, and even faintly felt that Zhou Chen was a disciple of a hidden family, after all, this ability to see through a person's five roots at a glance is not something that ordinary martial arts people can have, but there are still a lot of doubts in his heart, or Zhou Chen is too young, if Zhou Chen is a fairy wind bone, and he is close to the ancient old man, this old man will not have too many doubts, compared to the hairy boy in his twenties, Naturally, those old people who have lived most of their lives are more likely to convince others, and those fortune tellers on the streets, there are very few young people, and this is also the reason.
Hearing this, he looked towards the cypress forest that Zhou Chen was referring to, and then turned his head to look at the hundred-year-old apricot behind him, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was not as good as here, it was lush and the air was fresh, it was a rare place to cultivate.
The reason why Zhou Chen would point out this old man was only because he was the first acquired nine-rank powerhouse he had seen, and he had a little hope that he could open up the bridge between heaven and earth and advance to the innate realm, so he said two words, and now since he didn't believe in his own words, there was no such opportunity, but not everyone had that opportunity to get the guidance of his Zhou Daxian people. "If you don't believe it, forget it!!" Shaking his head slightly, he was ready to turn and leave.
Seeing Zhou Chen turn around and leave like this, the old man was immediately anxious, and the doubts in his heart were reduced by half at once, feeling that the other party was kind enough to mention himself, but he was still suspicious, no wonder the other party turned around and left, and hurriedly said: "Little brother, slow down, it was mine before, I hope you can have more Haihan." In order not to apologize if his apology was not sincere enough, while speaking, the old man also bowed deeply to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen is not a stingy person, since the old man has apologized to himself, it is naturally not good to brush his sleeves away, but he said lightly: "Whether my words are false or not, you can go over there and try it!! ”
As soon as Zhou Chen's words came out, the old man's doubts that had been reduced by half immediately diminished a lot, if Zhou Chen was talking nonsense, it was obviously impossible for him to give it a try, "Thank you little brother for the suggestion, I'll go over and give it a try!! ”
What kind of person is Zhou Chen, he is the reincarnation of the ancient Da Luo Jin Immortal, how could it be wrong, he didn't say much when he heard the words, and took the lead in the cypress forest.
The old man saw Zhou Chen go to the cypress forest first, and the last doubt in his heart immediately dissipated without a trace, knowing that if Zhou Chen was talking nonsense before, he never took him to the cypress forest, and then followed Zhou Chen's footsteps and couldn't help but speed up a few points, wishing that he was already standing in the cypress forest now. Trapped in the realm of the early stage of the Nine Grades of the Acquired Tomorrow for several years, this old man's desire to seek a breakthrough is not ordinarily strong.
So much so that when he met a middle-aged man in a suit with fat head and big ears on the road, he respectfully called him the old secretary, he didn't stop, just nodded politely, which was in response to the other party's words.
When the middle-aged man saw the old man's eagerness, he naturally didn't dare to entangle too much, but he looked at Zhou Chen, who was walking side by side with the old man, with a little surprise, and really couldn't understand what qualifications the young man in front of him had to be able to walk side by side with the old secretary.
"Old secretary?" Zhou Chen glanced at the old man with a little puzzlement.
As if he saw Zhou Chen's doubts, the old man explained to Zhou Chen a little, it turned out that this old man's name was Xia Mingbo, who used to be the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee of Jiangnan Province and the third in command of Jiangnan Province, but for some personal reasons, he retired early. Xia Mingbo said lightly, Zhou Chen didn't care too much, just a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, it was nothing at all, in his previous life, not to mention that he was a big man, that is, those lords of a country saw him Xingchen Zhenjun, and they all had to salute and call him an immortal.
Seeing that Zhou Chen was still as calm as ever after knowing his identity, Xia Mingbo couldn't help but think a little more highly of Zhou Chen, but it was not someone who could still maintain his calm after meeting the secretary of the provincial party committee. Even some high-ranking officials in Nanzhou City, after seeing him, an old leader, will have a sense of restraint.
