Volume 1 Hidden Dragon Scroll Chapter 168 Extravagant Hope for Ordinary Helplessness
Cheng Buyu glanced at Zhao Zhu sideways, then retracted his gaze and replied calmly: "Did Master tell you everything about the bypass." ”
Zhao Zhu nodded slightly, "Master did tell me something, senior brother, why do I think you don't seem to be happy." ”
Cheng Buyu's eyes revealed a little helplessness, and said: "When I first learned the news, I also felt very happy, but then I heard from the master that I had a lot of responsibilities and expectations to bear, which made me feel confused and uncomfortable. ”
When ordinary people suddenly learn that they have abilities or talents that ordinary people can't match, some people will be ecstatic, and people with deep thoughts will try their best to suppress their emotions and try to make themselves look less excited or even calm.
But no matter what, the sudden joy came from the heart after all, and left traces on the behavior, and what Zhao Zhu didn't understand was that whether it was Cheng Buyu's body or his expression and emotions, Zhao Zhu couldn't feel much fluctuation, not nothing, but not because of happiness.
I think that when Zhao Zhi learned that he could practice, the ecstasy can still be recalled, and the excitement and longing for the future at that time made his head dizzy for several days in a row.
"Could it be that Senior Brother Cheng has reached the realm of no pretense and no desire?" Zhao Zhu frowned for a while, and the confusion in his heart was beyond measure.
Cheng Buyu said: "Why do I see you are much happier than me..."
Zhao Jian smiled awkwardly and said, "Senior brother's realm is natural, shouldn't he be happy..."
Cheng Buyu sighed, "Why are you happy, being called a genius, what you do must be worthy of the name of genius, like Lian Weili, although he has such a title, but I think his own silent contribution will definitely not be less than any disciple in the sect." ”
Indeed, in the past, Zhao Zhu saw Lian Weili in the back mountain, he was either practicing Taoism or meditating, compared to others, his efforts were no less than Lu Xiuzhi's.
"So...," Cheng Buyu's voice turned lower, "Carrying such a false name, you still have to do everything to protect it, for what?" Is it just to make the so-called mediocre people look up? I don't have the thirst for power that Senior Brother Lu has, nor do I have the pursuit of climbing high and looking far away, I just want to live this life ordinarily and do what I like. ”
Zhao Zhu touched his nose and said, "Senior Brother Cheng, since you entered the Imperial Immortal Sect, your life is no longer ordinary..."
Cheng Buyu frowned, "Who said..."Fu said helplessly: "Maybe, but it was actually a very unexpected thing for me to join the sect back then..."
"I only entered the Imperial Immortal Sect at the age of fifteen, I was actually the same age as Senior Brother Lu, I was born in an ordinary peasant family, and I helped my father and mother plant the autumn harvest since I was a child, I don't know why, I was very happy and proud to see the grain I planted on the table, and in this way, I also gradually liked the days of working in the fields."
Seeing that Zhao Zhu's face was full of doubts, Cheng Buyu said with a smile: "Don't believe it, I started working in the field when I was six or seven years old, and by the age of nine, I was able to complete five or six acres of farm work alone. ”
Zhao Zhi has no concept of these things, but although his father didn't care much about him when he was a child, he strictly forbade anyone in the family to waste food, thinking that it was because he understood the hardships.
"Because of my ability, my father and mother can also free up their hands to make some small things to sell in the town, so although the life of the family cannot be said to be rich, they do not have to worry about food and clothing."
Speaking of what happened when he was a child, the corners of Cheng Buyu's mouth didn't feel up, "At that time, I was so comfortable, and I could be with trees and flowers as friends, junior brother, you don't know, my most longing life is to look at thousands of trees to become forests and smell the fragrance of thousands of flowers." ”
"It's just that hope is always contrary to reality, and now that I think about it, when I was eleven years old, I should have formed a spiritual root, I don't know if it's because of this, in the next few years, the crops in the field will grow fast and well, even in the event of natural disasters and droughts."
"At first, the village thought it was my father who had some special skills, but later found out that it was me who had the problem."
Speaking of this, Cheng Buyu's face turned cold, obviously recalling some things that made him extremely angry.
"The rough people in the countryside have little knowledge, but there must be demons when the governor goes wrong, and the funny thing is that they are obviously jealous of my family's harvest every year, but they say that such good things are a disaster from heaven, and that evil is naturally mine."
"Those people think that my family's crops are growing so well because I have absorbed the fortune of other people's families and transferred them to my own fields, saying that I am filthy and evil, and you say that it is ridiculous."
It's not ridiculous, Zhao Zhu doesn't know, anyway, he can't laugh at all now.
"What's even more ridiculous is that the harvest was not good during that time, and many people relied on my family's private help to survive, but they were not only grateful, but also excluded my father everywhere, and some people even raised a sum of money and invited a person who was cultivating the Eight Classics to come to the village, which is called subduing demons and eliminating demons."
"I was discovered by this cultivator and went to the Imperial Immortal Sect. Originally, I didn't want to come, thinking that how could I cultivate the land freely, but then I couldn't stand the hopeful gaze of my father and mother, and I also thought that if I became an immortal, then they would not be bullied. ”
It was the first time that Zhao Jian had heard that someone didn't want to become an immortal, and he became more curious about Cheng Buyu's thoughts.
"Later, the master took me under his disciple, and I practiced in Zhenyun Peak for a while."
Most of the peaks on the second mountain are outcasts from each peak, so they are all cut off from the past, and regard Ling Zhengfeng as their real master, but Cheng Buyu is an exception, he calls Shi Meiyu of Zhenyun Peak the master and Ling Zhengfeng the second master, but Ling Zhengfeng does not think it is wrong, but praises his conduct.
"On Zhenyun Peak, I am proficient in the pharmacology and medicinal properties of various flowers and herbs, including many pills, all of which I have concocted, but I am not interested in cultivation, and I can't reach the realm of refining qi and transforming gods."
Zhao Zhu said regretfully: "Senior brother, if you had worked harder at that time, maybe you would have a place in the top few places in this big competition." ”
Cheng Buyu looked at Zhao Zhu puzzled, "Senior brother, how could you say such pedantic words, how do you know that I haven't worked hard?" It's just that the direction and pursuit of my efforts are different from most people, alas, I saw that you have been cultivating Nianhai Lingjue diligently in the past few years, and I thought that you and I were the same kind of people who found another way, I thought you would understand me..."
Zhao Zhu secretly scolded himself for talking too much, and hurriedly said: "It's the senior brother who lost his words for a while, don't blame the senior brother, then what about later, how did the senior brother get to the second peak." ”
"Later?" Cheng Buyu smiled, "Master treats me very well, and also appreciates my talent in pills, so naturally he is very attentive to me, and some people on the peak are not happy, because my realm is improving slowly, so they think I am wasting Master's time, after all, she teaches me more for a while, and teaches others less for a while, and slowly, I become the target of public criticism again." ”
Zhao Zhu sighed with emotion: "It seems that whether it is an ordinary person or a cultivator, as long as it is closely related to their own interests, they will breed inexplicable evil thoughts, such as the villagers, Zhenyun Peak, and Qianyuan Peak..."
