Chapter 125: The Path of Cultivation in the Mortal Realm (12)
"What creature did you just see and think of that that makes you feel so funny?" Li Zhize hurriedly diverted the topic when he saw this.
Chu Yunyun smiled, looked at him and said, "Kelp." ”
“......”
"Ahem, Aze will change his clothes when he goes back. Li Zhiche suggested seriously, and Lian'er also echoed and nodded with a smile.
“......”
Seeing Li Zhize as if he had been hit by a series of blows, covering his chest with his hands exaggeratedly and making a painful gesture, Chu Yunyun couldn't help laughing. "By the way, it can't be me who makes you smile so vividly, right?"
"Looks like you really don't know. Li Zhize looked at her and said with a sigh.
"What?"
"Let's go to the tea shop in front and sit for a while, and we'll talk about it there. Li Zhiche said that he couldn't always stand on the street and chat.
"Do you really think that man in blue is a good person?" After arriving at the tea shop and taking a seat, Li Zhize poured a cup of tea casually, looked at Chu Yunyun and asked.
"It's not good, but it's not a great evil. ”
"Just because he didn't teach that person named Gao Cang a lesson on the spot?" Seeing Chu Yunyun nodding, Li Zhize took a sip of tea, frowned slightly, and finally swallowed the tea in his mouth, "Then do you know the real reason why he turned around and left even though he wanted to kill Gao Cang?"
Chu Yunyun shook her head, she really didn't know. So I listened to Li Zhize talk about an incident many years ago, and then I solved the doubts in my heart.
When I first participated in the audition, there were a number of fights in each session, after all, the families were in competition with each other, and it was inevitable that there would be conflicts of interest on weekdays. To live together for so many days in Suoqiu City, it is still a battle for family honor, and it is indispensable to provoke and seek revenge. Fortunately, there was no big mess, and the person in charge of the sect turned a blind eye and let them go. Until more than 200 years ago, something big happened.
At that time, the two schools of yin and yang each produced a rare genius in a hundred years, which was related to the future and hope of the two factions, so it was highly valued. Who knows that the two of their respective families have been enemies since their ancestors, and they have been fighting openly and secretly, and they all want to take the opportunity of this selection to get rid of each other and make their children the only unique genius. The final result can be imagined, the hard work of the whole clan, in addition to the loss of two geniuses, also suffered a heavy blow to the two families, the elites of the two factions were lost here one after another, the head of the family was overwhelmed, and his body and mind were destroyed. The two families plummeted from the best of the sect to a down-and-out small family, surviving for a long time.
And at that time, the struggle between the two families was fierce, involving a lot of candidates who were also in Suoqiu City, and they had not officially entered the Yulin Mountain, and the candidates of that year had lost more than half, and they were all elites of various families, resulting in few talents appearing in the next few decades, and the sect showed signs of decay, Yin Yang \ Water Gate suffered heavy losses, and even alarmed the Renyuan family to which it belonged, and the Lord sent a special messenger to inspect and correct.
Since then, in order to eliminate hidden dangers and ensure fairness, all those who enter the locked Autumn City have been reported and signed by the City Lord's Mansion, and their residences have been drawn on the spot. At the same time, except for Yulin Mountain, it is forbidden to fight in any place in Suoqiu City, and violators will be disqualified from running for election forever, and their families will be prohibited from having five selection opportunities. There were a few violations of the regulations when it was first implemented, and the consequences were catastrophic, and it also served as a good warning for everyone. Since then, no matter how many people come and go, there has always been peace in Suoqiu City, at least on the surface. As for personal grievances, if you have the ability, you can wait for the selection to solve it, at that time, life and death are all up to ability.
"I said, people from various families suddenly appeared here, and they were all young and vigorous, but there was no fighting. I thought it was because of my cultivation that my heart was tolerant, and I knew how to endure and restrain myself. It turns out, huh. After hearing this, Chu Yunyun only felt sarcastic.
"This is also human nature, where there are people, strife will not stop. Li Zhiche said.
"These matters should have been explained and warned by the elders of the family before coming to lock Qiucheng, in case the children are ignorant and cause trouble and affect the family, don't you even know?" Li Zhize looked at Chu Yunyun suspiciously.
Chu Yunyun is also very helpless, Chu's parents have never been to Suoqiu City, and they don't care about the selection of sects, where will they pay attention to these things. Sifang can be said to have been excluded by the Chu family, and those who know the details will not go to Linling Courtyard to remind her. Moreover, everyone thought that with her meager cultivation, how could she have the ability to go out and cause trouble, so naturally she would not waste time explaining to her.
"But it doesn't matter if you don't know, anyway, your temperament won't take the initiative to provoke trouble, probably they understand your character, and they don't think there's any need to explain more. Li Zhize saw that Chu Yunyun was a little distracted, and hurriedly said.
"By the way, you have to pay attention to the people around you during the selection process, to prevent them from hacking, and I'm still waiting to see my brother when it's over." Although Li Lian'er is a little willful and domineering on weekdays, she is not uncommon in the family, there are so many people in the Chu family, just remind Chu Yunyu that she will not be completely ignorant of this. If someone deliberately designs her, as long as she does it in the city, then she will be cut off from cultivation in this life. It seems that the Chu family is not as united, friendly, benevolent and charitable as the world praises.
"Well, well, I'll be very careful. Chu Yunyun looked at Li Lian'er as if she didn't care about reminding her, and couldn't help but smile at her gratefully.
After talking for a while, seeing that it was almost time for dinner, they each saluted and said goodbye.
As soon as Chu Yunyun returned to the Autumn Wind Courtyard, he bumped into Chu Hao and the three of them. When she returned to Linling Courtyard that day, after listening to Qing'er's introduction, she learned that Chu Hao and the others were born by Chu Jiang, one of the concubines in the many concubines in the second room, and their biological mother was a young lady from a declining small family. A total of three children were born, the eldest son Chu Tao, that is, the young man who pushed Qing'er out, the second daughter Chu Jie, the weak and beautiful woman, and the third son Chu Hao.
Originally, there were too many children like Chu Hao and the others in the second room, and in order to get ahead, the fight between them has never been broken. Fortunately, their biological mother has a good background, and her temperament and upbringing are not inferior to Chu Jiang's wife, and the three children they gave birth to are still very competitive, and their cultivation is not bad, so Chu Jiang has always been very fond of this concubine, which made the youngest son Chu Hao develop a selfish and domineering temperament, and he bullied others a lot on weekdays.
"Who should I be, why didn't our noble-born Miss Yunyun hide in her room to cultivate today, but went out shopping? Buying so many vulgar and cheap things, as if she had never seen the world. I've spent all the silver I brought, do you want my nephew to add a few taels to you?" Chu Hao saw Chu Yunyun coming back with a hand full of things, and looked at her contemptuously, what good things can be in such a remote place as Suoqiu City, it is not a star and a half worse than Boluo City, look at the amount she has bought, it is really a shame for the Chu family.
Chu Yunyun glanced at the three of them, not wanting to waste more time with them. Just as he was about to bypass them and go back to his room, he heard Chu Jie beside him say softly as if he wanted to reproach Chu Hao for his reckless words, and as if he loved him and couldn't bear to be too harsh.
