Ling Zhengfeng didn't seem to like Zhao Zhi praising Lu Xiuzhi very much, so he interrupted him and said: "It's nothing if he pursues the ultimate cultivation without external objects like Lian Weili, it's just that he is too utilitarian, which will not only affect his own cultivation, but also affect the state of mind of others, but it doesn't matter, after your business is finished, I will slowly adjust him, you don't have to think about it anymore." ”

Coming out of Ling Zhengfeng's house, Zhao Zhi was startled when he found that Lu Xiuzhi was still guarding the door. "Senior Brother Zhao, Senior Brother and I just went in for a while, and Master impatiently drove us out, but you can stay in Master's room for so long, Master really looks at you differently, Master usually tells you something, you have to talk for so long, but I didn't hear any of you talking outside the house just now."

Zhao Jian didn't expect Lu Xiuzhi to dare to listen to the corner of the master's wall, so he hurriedly pulled him to the front yard and whispered: "Senior Brother Lu, our master has a strange temper and treats his disciples very harshly, you can't eavesdrop outside his house, his old man doesn't like sneaky people, if he is discovered, he will definitely blame you." ”

Lu Xiuzhi said nonchalantly: "It's okay, Master found out and said that I came to ask for advice when I encountered something unknown in my cultivation, Senior Brother Zhao, how about what I asked you, did Master agree?" ”

Seeing that Lu Xiuzhi was no longer entangled in the content of his conversation with Master, he also breathed a sigh of relief, so he replied: "Don't worry, Master, he has already promised me, and he will leave some for you when the monthly order is distributed in the sect next time." Senior Brother Lu, I want to ask you, is it because you are so obsessed with cultivation and Taoism because you were despised in Changli Peak? ”

Lu Xiuzhi didn't expect Zhao Zhi to ask so directly, and said with a slight distraction: "Yes, but it's not all, I..."

He hesitated for a moment, and continued: "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, when I was a child, I always listened to my father tell me some things about the injustices of the heroes of the green forest, probably because I was often bullied, so I was particularly envious and yearning for what this kind of person did, and naturally hated the people who bullied others. ”

"Later, something happened in my family, and I was rescued by a senior brother Wang of this sect, who originally planned to place me in another farmer's house, but found that I had a talent for cultivation, so he took me directly to the Imperial Immortal Sect."

Zhao Zhu was surprised: "Senior Brother Lu, haven't you gone to the Heavenly Gift Mansion to check the spiritual root?" ”

Lu Xiuzhi smiled: "Senior Brother Zhao, it seems that you don't know from what you say, only cultivators like you who have a better family background have the ability to go to the Heavenly Gift Mansion to test the spiritual root, and they all have to pay money." Poor people like us, where do they have that spare money, and they live in a biased way, only if they are lucky, they will be brought into the Imperial Immortal Sect when they are discovered by those who have entered the world to cultivate. ”

Zhao Zhi always thought that as long as he was old, he would definitely go to the Tianci Mansion, but he didn't expect that there was such a step in it, and he asked, "What about the bad luck?" ”

"Bad luck? That is naturally an ordinary person who has been in the ravine for a lifetime, Senior Brother Zhao, your family background is illustrious, I am not surprised if I haven't heard of it, you don't understand the darkness of this world, but you should know that there are still many poor people and few rich people in this world. And there are too many people who are unkind to the rich and suck the flesh and blood of the poor like appendages, and if there is no opportunity, the poor will not be able to turn over. ”

Zhao Zhu came to his senses, "So you practiced so hard just to turn over..."

"That's right, in addition to turning over, when I enter the WTO in the future, I will also do chivalrous righteousness and fight for the poor."

Zhao Zhi sighed at Lu Xiuzhi's lofty ambitions, and said: "But the cultivation realm has the rules of the cultivation realm, and you can't hurt ordinary people in the earthly world, if you want to do chivalrous things, you can't learn the Tao in the sect." ”

"Look, what am I talking about, you don't know the darkness of this world, do you think that the homes of the gentry in those places are full of domestic servants? They would naturally invite some people with superb cultivation as guests to take care of their homes and courtyards, so as to ensure that they dominate one side, otherwise they would have been flattened by those cultivators from ordinary families. ”

"Then how do you say that those real people who are worshipped have established their authority? Of course, it is by killing people, how to kill people? Of course, it is only by killing people with Taoism that it can play a role in deterring threats. ”

Zhao Jian has never heard of this kind of thing, firstly, although he is not treated well at home, he is also the son of the head of the family, and no one dares to discuss these things in front of him, and secondly, he has lived in a simple place since he was a child, and rarely walks around outside the Zhao Mansion, so he knows very little.

Zhao Jian still asked suspiciously: "But cultivators are mainly cultivators, why would they be willing to do such dirty things for ordinary people." ”

"Naturally, it's for gold, silver, and money."

"Gold and silver?" Zhao Zhu was even more puzzled, "What is the use of cultivators asking for gold, silver, and money?" Besides, I heard Senior Brother Mei say that every disciple who has entered the WTO can receive some monthly silver coins for food and clothing in the Tianci Mansion in various places on time. ”

Lu Xiuzhi looked at Zhao Jian like a fool, with a hint of mockery in his tone, "Young Master Zhao, you are stupid on the second peak, yes, you are right, there is indeed a subsidy in the sect, but it is only enough to eat vegetables and live in a thatched hut, we are also from mortal dust, in the Imperial Immortal Sect penance, what is the use of eating every day, do you say that it can be compared with the flower world outside?" ”

"When you re-enter the mortal world, how many cultivators can resist not enjoying it? There are no longer a few children of the family who enter the sect every year, but how many people can persevere and endure this hardship, most of them are not unable to stand it for a year and a half, and go back to continue to live a pampered life. ”

"Those who have just joined the WTO may be able to hold on for a short time, but after a long time, where can they endure it. In the sect, the master is our heaven, and the master still has a god monarch on his head, but what about in the mortal world? We are the heavens, and who wants to do penance all their lives. ”

On weekdays, Lu Xiuzhi is silent, but he didn't expect to be unexpectedly talkative when talking about things in the world, Zhao Zhi asked, "How do you know so many things?" ”

Lu Xiuzhi replied: "Many of them are my own experience, and many of them are what Senior Brother Wang told me along the way. Senior Brother Wang also told me that no matter where I am, only when I am strong can I have the ability to call others, so I will force myself to practice hard, but the unfortunate thing is that I am born with a fire spirit root, and my qualifications are not top-notch, so it is difficult to be valued on Changli Peak. ”

Seeing a trace of frustration on Lu Xiuzhi's face, Zhao Jian subconsciously followed Lin Xiansheng's appearance and wanted to reach out and touch his head, but Lu Xiuzhi dodged him, "What are you doing?" Senior Brother Zhao, although I call you Senior Brother, I don't have to be younger than you when it comes to age, how can I let you touch your head casually. ”

Zhao Zhi reacted, withdrew his hand and smiled awkwardly, Lu Xiuzhi continued: "Thank you for the help of my senior brother today, and I will repay you in the future." ”

Zhao Zhu didn't take this little thing to heart and said: "You and I are fellow brothers, help is deserved, Senior Brother Lu doesn't have to see outside." ”

Lu Xiuzhi said with a serious face: "How can this be done, a manly man, if you have kindness, you will be grateful, and if you have revenge, you will be avenged." After speaking, he saluted Zhao Zhu seriously and left quickly, without giving Zhao Zhu a chance to refuse, and Zhao Zhu had to look at his back and smile bitterly.

In the next few days, as Ling Zhengfeng said, the disciples of the second mountain peak started a new round of spirit stone mining, Mei Zhenyu also received the monthly example from Kunyi Peak, a full twelve spirit stones, Mei Zhenyu was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, Ling Zhengfeng also kept his promise and gave a piece to Lu Xiuzhi.

And Zhao Zhu has been thinking about what Lu Xiuzhi said that day in his mind for a few days, after meditating that day, he did not leave in a hurry, and asked Ling Zhengfeng: "Master, why do we have to enter the world to practice, can't we just practice on the mountain for a lifetime?" ”
