Chapter 252: Hui Zong, Trust
It turns out that there was such a story between Doctor Tao and Aunt Xue, if this is really Doctor Tao's memory, then didn't he forget this past? Why don't you marry Aunt Xue?" Er Yan looked up at Zhang Haotian and asked.
"Maybe it's just a backup memory, and he still remembers it. It's just that I lied to myself that the memory was placed here, and I won't think about this painful past every day. Otherwise, how could the senior Tao we know not have a surname and not marry Aunt Xue. Zhang Haotian estimated that he had a rough idea.
"Then what should we do now?" After the situation just now, Er Yan really didn't know what to do now, and she was at a loss.
"After repairing the door, let's go back and don't let Aunt Xue see it. Don't talk about it to anyone but you and me. I think this should also be a memory that my predecessors don't want others to mention. Zhang Haotian looked out of the house, and he didn't know if he was trying to look at Tao who was looking for medicinal herbs in the mountains somewhere.
"Hmm. Yan nodded heavily.
The two of them worked together to fix the broken door, left the wooden house, climbed over the fence, and after confirming that Aunt Xue hadn't noticed the situation, they tiptoed back to the second floor.
After walking to the second floor, Er Yan looked at the sky outside and suddenly said, "Hao Hao, the snow has stopped." ”
Zhang Haotian looked outside, yes, the snow stopped. When did such a big snowstorm stop? Affected by the memories of his predecessors, Zhang Haotian didn't notice the changes outside.
"The snow has stopped, and I should be able to return to Qingcheng Sect tomorrow. For some reason, Zhang Haotian said these words with a lingering loneliness, I don't know if it was the influence of the memories of his predecessors.
The two concealed this matter and spent an unbearable night, an eagle roared in the dawn of the Chunlu Valley, and Zhang Haotian, who got up early to pack his luggage, pushed open the door and looked at the shadow of the eagle in the sky.
Is it Zongyun Ying? Teacher Li is already here?
Zhang Haotian walked down the attic and passed by Yang Junnian's ward, the door was open. Eryan said goodbye to her mother in the room, but she didn't expect Eryan to get up so early, was it because of what she saw yesterday?
Zhang Haotian stopped by the door, did not show up, and silently listened to the mother and daughter say goodbye.
"Since you have entered the sect to practice, don't let yourself be, if there is anything you can write to your mother and tell your mother, this place is not far from the Qingcheng Sect, isn't it?" Yang Junnian stroked Eryan's hair.
"I know, mother. I'm just worried about my mother. Yan pouted.
"What is there to worry about, Physician Bai and Physician Tao are so good at their medical skills. Your second brother also stays in this medical hall, so you don't need to worry about it. Cultivate well and be an excellent talisman, and my mother will be happy. ”
"Hmm. There was obviously reluctance on Er Yan's face.
"Okay, okay, before leaving, my mother will comb your hair. Come here early in the morning, and I don't have any braids that I usually braid myself, and my hair is scattered, don't you just want my mother to braid it once?"
Yan giggled, Yang Junnian had obviously guessed her thoughts.
Zhang Haotian didn't continue to stop and walked towards the hall. As soon as he entered the hall, Zhang Haotian saw Li Xijian sitting on a chair drinking weak tea.
"Teacher Li. Zhang Haotian respectfully saluted Li Xian.
"Haotian, you got up early. Li Xijian was a little surprised to see Zhang Haotian come out so early.
Sister Xue, who was sitting on the edge of the consultation table, said: "He got up much earlier than Eryan Valley and Zhang Xinhua. Those two smell like each other. ”
Hearing Sister Xue ridicule Eryan Gu and Zhang Xinhua like this, Zhang Haotian couldn't help laughing.
"Then when Eryan comes out, let's go. The wind and snow have delayed for a few days, and you should go back and continue your cultivation, but Lezheng has been bothering me all the time. As soon as Le Zheng Tingyin was mentioned, Li Shijian frowned.
Zhang Haotian smiled, he felt quite happy to have a teacher like Teacher Le Zheng who was worried about him. I have to listen to the lecture after I go back, otherwise wouldn't I be sorry for the worry of Teacher Le Zheng Tingyin?
"By the way, Mr. Li, how is Zifeng doing now?" stayed in the Sanwei Medical Center, and he couldn't hear from Xu Zifeng, and Zhang Haotian was worried about him all the time.
The relaxed atmosphere just now was swept away, and Li Xijian's face was not much better: "There is no danger to his life, but he has to recuperate in the Mercy Pavilion for a while, and he only returned to the Qingcheng Sect yesterday." Xin Lun made it difficult for money to accompany him, and his talisman could also suppress the Furnace Lotus Heart, coupled with the presence of the Daotai Immortal of the Mercy Pavilion, he could return to the Qingcheng Sect safely. ”
"Zifeng is fine. Since then, Zhang Haotian has not heard from Xu Zifeng, and now he is relieved to hear the news that he is well.
"Let's go see him when I get back to the sect. Li Xijian suggested this.
"That's what I was going to do. Zhang Haotian replied.
Er Yan lifted the beaded curtain between the hall and the backyard and walked into the hall, Yang Junnian combed her hair, and the usual braided braid on her left sideburn hung down. It seems that she is ready to go, and after saying goodbye to her mother, she also has a glimmer of hope for her future life.
"Are you Er Yan?" Li Xi naturally asked when he saw Er Yan for the first time.
Er Yan simply nodded: "Well, I am Er Yan." ”
"Alright, let's go. Li Xijian walked out of the medical hall with the two, and before leaving, Sister Xue wished them a smooth journey at the consultation table.
As soon as Li Xijian and the two of them walked out of the door of the medical hall, the huge Zongyun Eagle fell from the sky, carrying a strong current. Yan Yan was so blown by the strong wind that she stretched out her hand to cover her face, and when the wind stopped, she looked at the Cloud Eagle in front of her in surprise, this was the first time she had seen such a huge beast spirit.
When he just walked out of the room, he saw that the eagle was indeed the Zongyun Eagle, Zhang Haotian thought so, and the Yan beside him let out an exclamation: "What a big eagle, what kind of beast spirit is this?"
Er Yan looked up at Li Xijian with a curious look on her face and asked, and Li Xijian replied with a complacent expression: "Zongyun Ying, his name is Xiao Hei, and he is my contract beast spirit. ”
"Contract Beast Spirit?, what is that?" Yan had never heard of the Beast Master before, so naturally she didn't know any of this.
"That's the realm that only the beast master will come into contact with, and the talisman who signs a contract with the beast spirit and complements each other is the beast master. There are many kinds of beast masters in this world, some of them will be their slaves, but some will depend on the beast spirits. Li Xijian explained to Eryan.
"Depend on each other?" Yan tilted her head.
"For example, I have been in the Eagle's Nest since I was a baby, and the Cloud Eagle is my parents. Xiao Hei was my brother until Master picked us both back to the Qingcheng Sect...... Forget it, it's not a pleasant memory to mention it, just hear it here. Li Xijian stopped at this and didn't want to mention it too much.
Judging from Zhong Lao's personality, it is not enough to snatch Li Xijian away from a pair of Zongyun Ying together with the Zongyun Eagle cubs, I am afraid that something happened to the parents of the Zongyun Eagle. From Li Xijian's words, Zhang Haotian estimated that he had a rough idea.
However, since Li Xijian was unwilling to say more, it was difficult for Zhang Haotian to say so much.
"It's itchy. Yan suddenly screamed,
Zhang Haotian saw Zongyun Ying lower his eagle head, gently rubbing Er Yan, making Er Yan laugh happily, and stretched out his hand to caress Xiao Hei's eagle head.
"It's the first time I've seen Xiao Hei get close to people, and it seems that Xiao Hei likes you very much at a glance. Li Xijian looked a little jealous, as if Xiao Hei was not so close to him.
"Yes, Blackie, that's cute. Er Yan happily touched Xiao Hei, and when she was touched by Er Yan, Xiao Hei became even more excited.
"Alright, alright, let's go, little black. Li Xijian urged.
Xiao Hei was obviously a little reluctant, but he still made a good posture and let them climb on the back of the eagle. Seeing Xiao Hei making awkward noise, Zhang Haotian and Er Yan felt funny, this kind of scene is not common.
The three of them set off on the Cloud Eagle, swept above the clouds, and headed for the Qingcheng Sect.
Qingcheng Sect Lisheng Pavilion, Xu Zifeng was alone in the ward, and the hospital bed he was given was specially made, that is, a waterbed, he was lying in the water in a hospital gown, but he did not feel strange, but soothed the influence of the furnace lotus heart, and these waters are also special medicinal liquids, but they nourish his body.
These are not important, Xu Zifeng is not more concerned about these, but the life of the old thief of the Zhong family, he fought with his life, but he failed to exchange for the life of the old thief of Zhong Yuan, but he fell with a damn injury, and he couldn't even go home to wear linen and filial piety for his mother.
Just when he was seriously injured, the news of his mother's death came, and Xu Zifeng didn't even have the spirit to support the injury, and it was Dao Taixian and Qian Buyi who forcibly brought him back from the door of death.
Every time he thought of this, Xu Zifeng was angry, and slammed the waterbed hard, and the liquid splashed out from the edge of the bed. The current Xu Zifeng is completely not as good as the Xu Zifeng that Zhang Haotian knows.
Frustrated, self-blame, full of resentment, where is it like Xu Zifeng before.
There were a few knocks on the door outside the ward, and Xu Zifeng restrained himself a little and said, "Please come in." ”
The person who pushed the door in surprised Xu Zifeng, wasn't this the sect master Zhong Lao? He actually came to visit him in person, how could he be virtuous.
"Zhong Lao is good. Xu Zifeng didn't forget to say hello.
"Well, this Beast Spirit Tower Conference has worked hard for you, I should have come to see you as soon as possible, but I have to deal with things, so it's too late. Zhong Lao said.
"The students are scared, and it is not worth remembering Zhong Lao. Xu Zifeng said humbly.
Zhong Lao sat on the edge of Xu Zifeng's bed and shook his head gently: "No, every disciple of the Qingcheng Sect, as the sect master, I should pay attention to it, you are the future of the Dao Realm, and we have to entrust you with many things." ”
"Zhong Lao said seriously. ”
Elder Zhong sighed and told Xu Zifeng about him: "I have heard about you, and I have also learned about the grievances between you and the Zhong family. Just to ask about the whereabouts of Liuli Lianxin, and to poison your innocent mother, Zhong Yuan is indeed a bad character, this time you shot well. ”
Xu Zifeng looked at Zhong Lao and was very surprised, he was so impulsive, and he was really surprised to get Zhong Lao's praise.
"What's the matter, am you so surprised when I praise you?" asked Elder Zhong.
Xu Zifeng replied honestly: "Indeed, I thought that Zhong Lao would blame me for being brave and reckless of the consequences. ”
"There's nothing to blame for this, human nature, I've done more than you. ”
"What?" Xu Zifeng didn't understand what Zhong Lao meant.
"Don't you understand? You don't know my full name?" Zhong Lao's old face showed a sly smile, but he felt a little old naughty.
How could the people of this Qingcheng Sect not know the name of the sect master, Xu Zifeng read out Zhong Lao's name word by word, and finally understood: "Zhong Shuji, Zhong Lao, you are a member of the Zhong family?"
"It's just that once, when I was young, I was abandoned by the Zhong family because of my poor talent, just like your friend Zhang Haotian. ”
What Zhong Lao said, Xu Zifeng had never heard of it, and he didn't know how to react when he looked at Zhong Lao.
"I think I should have some understanding, I was kicked out of the Zhong family, so I naturally wanted to return the Liulilian heart, to put it bluntly, it was to take my life. Because there's no need to waste a glazed lotus heart for people like me. ”
"How can they do this?" Hearing this, Xu Zifeng had a further understanding of the cruelty of the Zhong family.
"Why don't you dare? The person who gave you the heart of the glazed lotus had actually given up his life to deceive Zhong Yuan. Didn't Zhong Yuan take her life for the sake of Liulilian's heart, it was his own sister, and he was just as cruel as he did it. ”
"Since Zhong Lao is here, then Zhong Lao's glazed lotus heart is still there?" Xu Zifeng could only think so, thinking that Zhong Lao, as the sect master of Qingcheng Sect, forgave the Zhong family, no matter how bold he was, he would not dare to cause trouble.
But Zhong Lao shook his head at Xu Zifeng: "No, my glazed lotus heart has long been taken away." After that, they threw me out of the Zhong family like garbage, and left me on the streets until the few lives left were exhausted. ”
"Then Zhong Lao, you are ......"
Zhong Lao raised his hand lightly to prevent Xu Zifeng from interrupting him: "Listen to me continue, I was dying at that time and was about to die." I stumbled upon that my master and the Qingcheng Sect physician who accompanied him saved me. But even if I was rescued, I was already a cripple, and my physical condition no longer allowed me to continue cultivating Dao talismans. ”
"But Elder Zhong, aren't you the only talisman master in the Dao Realm now?" Xu Zifeng asked puzzledly, Elder Zhong did not stop there, but became a great thing in the Qingcheng Sect today.
"I walked around the Ghost Gate, forcibly drove the Dao Spirit Control Talisman to cast spells, was rescued again and again when I was endangered, and gambled my life to bring back my future. However, the talent in talisman has always been unable to catch up with others, even if the master let me enter the Qingcheng Sect, I am far behind others.
Then Zhong Lao blindly indulged in the Dao, understood the Dao heart, and ignored the things outside the window, and surpassed many Qingcheng disciples of the same generation after nine years and three years. Xu Zifeng has heard of these things.
Zhong Lao chuckled: "Heh, let it be like this." However, if I hadn't been full of hatred for the Zhong family for abandoning me at that time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have gone mad and retreated into practice. ”
"Does Zhong Lao also hate the Zhong family?" Xu Zifeng asked cautiously.
Zhong Lao's old eyes looked at Xu Zifeng, as if he could see through Xu Zifeng: "Hate, it has never changed." But revenge or anything is no longer worth it. I've encountered a hundredfold more important things in my life. ”
"So I shouldn't avenge my mother?" Xu Zifeng heard this, thinking that Zhong Lao had come to persuade him to let go of revenge.
"Why don't you report it?" Zhong Lao asked rhetorically, which surprised Xu Zifeng. Shouldn't this be a drama in which Zhong Lao persuaded him to let go of his obsession and go to the right path with his life experience?
"Zhong Lao means ......"
"Whether you want revenge or not is your own business, I can't control it, if you mess with the Zhong family, I'll be very happy. Zhong Lao winked at Xu Zifeng.
Xu Zifeng couldn't tell whether Zhong was serious or joking.
"But if you want to take revenge, it's not the right time, at the Beast Spirit Tower Conference, you are too anxious. If you fight for your life, will your mother be happy? What about your father? What about your brother? Did you think about them when you were desperate?" Zhong Lao's face was serious, and Xu Zifeng finally felt a sense of oppression.
"So what should I do?"
"If you don't become stronger, how do you deal with the Zhong family?" Zhong Lao asked Xu Zifeng.
Xu Zifeng choked up, took a deep breath before asking: "But it's too slow, I want to become stronger, but at this speed, there is not much progress in solving the talisman at all, and the talismans I have learned can deal with the Zhong family!"
"You entered the Tao because of hatred, but you also disturbed your heart because of hatred. Xu Zifeng was very surprised by Zhong Lao's words, he had never told others what the reason for his Dao heart and his hatred was.
"Old Zhong, how do you know my Dao heart?" asked Xu Zifeng.
"I don't know, but I can guess it, and it seems that I guessed correctly. Judging from the report that Zhang Shui gave me, you are not such an impulsive and anxious person, Xu Zifeng, your strengths and strengths have been completely ignored by you. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. You have to calm down and think about how you can make sure that your revenge is successful, not the half-hearted and failed revenge that you had before. ”
Half-hung revenge, Zhong Lao's words deeply pierced Xu Zifeng's heart, although the heart is no longer the heart it once was, but he can still feel the pain.
"I've been telling you for so long, it's time for me to explain my intention to visit you. ”
It turned out that Zhong Lao didn't come to visit him? Somehow, Xu Zifeng felt a little disappointed.
"Disappointed? I didn't come to see you. I didn't expect to be seen through by Zhong Lao again, but Zhong Lao just said this, and then took out a wooden box from the talisman on his body.
The wooden box is sealed by several purple runes, and there are exquisite wood carvings on it, and the patterns of the wood carvings are lifelike, and it does not look like an ordinary wooden box.
"Zhong Lao, you are ......"
"This is an item that the Evil Emperor will come back to pick up sooner or later, and I now order you to keep it as the Sect Master, and it must not be obtained by the Evil Emperor. ”
Why did he give himself such a heavy responsibility at this time, Xu Zifeng didn't understand why Zhong Lao wanted to hand over such a valuable thing to himself to a frustrated and confused person.
