Chapter 55: Kindness
"But my junior brother ......"
Xu Shihei's face turned blue and he wanted to argue, but he was directly interrupted by Qinghuai Daoren: "I have already said that your junior brother deserves it, hurry up and save people while he is not dead, but he has to tell me these useless truths." Then he looked at Yan Shiping, who looked like he was trembling on the side, and said angrily: "I don't care which disciple you are, don't let me see you in the mutual market in the future, otherwise I will definitely ask your master whether he will discipline the disciple." ”
Although Yan Shiping acted arrogantly in the past, after his family fell behind, he only dared to rely on cultivation to play some prestige among his peers.
Like Qinghuai Daoren, not only is his cultivation much higher, but his status and authority are not comparable to him, he can't afford to provoke him at all.
At this time, he was reprimanded like this, and he could only listen to it resignedly, and his hatred for Zhang Qian was dripping blood: "I didn't expect this stunned young man to know such a character as the patrol envoy, and let you be a fox and a fake tiger for a while, I, Yan Shiping, will have to return it sooner or later, otherwise you don't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has!"
"What I told you, do you understand?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Qinghuai Daoist scolded him angrily again.
Yan Shiping was startled, and hurriedly said, "I heard it, I heard it." ”
"Don't get out of here if you hear it!" Qinghuai Daoist flicked his sleeves fiercely, and a fierce temperament rushed to his face.
Zhang Qianqian wiped his nose from the sidelines, and he didn't expect Qinghuai Daoist to do these things for him just because of a trace of affection, just like an elder who protects his shortcomings, his heart was slightly moved, but he didn't open his mouth, just watched quietly on the side, that Yan Shiping was stunned for a moment, put the three bottles of Gushou Dan on the table into his pocket, and didn't even bother to wipe the blood on his face, dragged his obese body for a while, and disappeared into the corner of the street.
Xu Shi's face was even more ugly, and he naturally understood that Qinghuai Daoren's previous actions were to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.
"In that case, let the Inspector handle the matter. ”
Qinghuai Daoist is already declaring his position, no matter what, he must protect Zhang Qian, Xu Shi knows that he will not be able to get any benefit if he continues to be entangled like this, so he lowered his attitude and prepared to make plans in the future, anyway, he already knows Zhang Qian's name.
"Okay, what do you think?" Qinghuai Daoist turned around and asked Zhang Qian.
Zhang Qian didn't expect him to consider his own opinions, and was stunned for a moment, Qinghuai Daoist thought that he was unwilling to give up, and persuaded him: "It is better to settle the grievances than to settle them, and the cultivation of cultivators is the avenue, for the long-term, not to fight for the day." His words were a faint reminder to Zhang Qian not to be rash, in order to be refreshed for a while, the major cultivation events were really worth the loss, this day Lufeng is not comparable to the worldly yamen, and it is impossible to kill a few people hastily.
Hearing him say this, Zhang Qian smiled casually: "10,000 years is too long, but I only seize the day." ”
This was just said casually, a bit rash, but at this time, it sounded a little disobedient, Qinghuai Daoren's face changed slightly, thinking that Zhang Qian was still planning to continue to entangle, then he was really a bad thing. Seeing him reflect like this, Zhang Qian smiled and said: "I just said casually, since the senior brother has spoken, I can't ignore the promotion, so this matter will be stopped, no matter who was right and who was wrong before, and what grievances there were, they will all be written off." ”
Qinghuai Daoren breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at Xu Shi, and said to the two: "Then I will be a peacemaker today, it is not a big deal, the same brother can't fight for life and death, I happened to set up wine in Zizhen Building, and the two of you will have a glass of wine with me?"
"It's all up to my brother's orders. Zhang Qian didn't care.
The corners of Xu Shi's eyes twitched, and then he said: "I'm tired of patrolling and making good intentions, my junior brother is injured, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to go." ”
Qinghuai Daoist wanted to persuade him, but he could see the chill in his eyes, so he didn't say much, and said, "Then you go, don't delay." Then he called Zhang Qian to go to Zizhen Building on the street, but this Zizhen Building was opened by Qinghuai Daoren's senior brother Zizhen Daoren, which is a bit similar to a restaurant in the world, but the wine and food are extraordinary, and they are all made of various rare spiritual objects, and then cooked with real fire, which is wonderful.
"You don't underestimate this Zizhen Building, and it's not an exaggeration to describe it as a daily progress. Qinghuai Daoist said while taking Zhang Qian upstairs to lead.
Zhang Qian walked with him all the way, the business in this Zizhen building was really good, three floors in a row, and the seating rate was as high as seventy percent, and suddenly he found that when a monk called the disciples in the building to settle the bill, he gave a strange rune paper, without a trace of the five elements of aura, but the runes on it were complicated and extremely inverted, and the subtleties were a little exaggerated to describe with subtlety, and the amount was marked, a bit like a silver banknote in the world, which made him a little confused.
"That's the sect's contribution, but it's just recorded on paper, and you can exchange it for various resources in the sect, and over time it becomes an equivalent exchange, and you can think of him as gold and silver in the world. Qinghuai Dao people see the six roads with their eyes, listen to the eight directions, and see his every move really, naturally know what he thinks, explain to him, and then say: "In fact, the world is the same, but there is a difference between mortals and monks. ”
"Hmm. Zhang Qian nodded, and followed Qinghuai Daoren all the way to the fifth floor.
Although this Zizhen building is not conspicuous in this mutual market, but it is taller and more magnificent than many buildings in the world, the worldly prosperity is more prosperous than the world, it can be described as a small thing, the two sat down in a private room, there are still some uneaten wine and food on the table, Qinghuai Taoist called a disciple in charge, after the order, but a few disciples came up to change the table, hundreds of years of spirit turtle stew, fragrant elixir treasure.
"Although cultivators have cut off their appetites, people regard food as their nature, and food is the nature of people, so there is no need to be so restrained, and these foods, wine, and food are all great tonics, and they are also good for the body. Qinghuai Daoist stopped his cup and raised his spoon, tore off a piece of spirit turtle meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing that he was so refreshed, Zhang Qian also poured a glass of wine and ate with him.
The two of them used wine to help the fun, although they couldn't say that they talked very happily, but Zhang Qian listened silently, it can be regarded as speculation, Qinghuai Taoist talked mostly about some forces in this small Weishan and those unwritten rules, but also afraid that he would get into trouble in the future, the relationship was so gradually familiar, after three rounds of wine, Qinghuai Taoist suddenly straightened his color, and asked seriously: "There is something I have always wanted to ask, but I am afraid that it is a little abrupt, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
Zhang Qian naturally knew what he wanted to ask, and without waiting for him to ask, he said to him: "I know that Senior Brother wants to know how I got to this realm now. ”
"That's true, and if I don't find out, I can't help but guess. "Qinghuai Daoist doesn't hide anything.
"In fact, during the qualification test that day, there was a trace of accident, in fact, my qualifications are not so unbearable, that survival pill was spit out by myself. Zhang Qian said this, seven points of truth and three points of falsehood in his words, but it was difficult to tell the difference.
"Oh?" Qinghuai Daoist was quite puzzled and asked, "Why did the junior brother do this?"
"I thought I was smart. Zhang Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly.
said such vaguely, and it was not clarified, it was all up to Qinghuai Daoist to guess by himself, but it was extremely clever to divert the topic and did not continue to ask.
"Later, when I entered the Flame Hell Peak, my cultivation gradually improved, and I was valued by the elders in the sect, so I was rewarded with various resources for me to practice, and now I have just passed through the four demons, which makes the Yuan Jing converge. Zhang Qian didn't talk about his killing in the Flame Hell Peak, although Qinghuai Daoren helped him many times and had great kindness to him, but the relationship between the two can be described by the words "living together but not dying together", and he couldn't tell him all his secrets.
Although he is a little dishonest, this kind of thing that is not beneficial to others or himself is useless to explain clearly, but drags him into his own predicament.
"When I was in Qingyang County, I valued your character, but unfortunately when I was in the qualification assessment later, there was such a thing, and now it seems that it is really not my eyes. Qinghuai Daoist laughed when he heard this, patted the back of Zhang Qian's hand, and said without pretentiousness: "In the future, you will soar, but don't forget to take care of your senior brother." In his opinion, Zhang Potential has cultivated to the initial realm of Yuan Jing Yunbu within a year, although his current cultivation is not as good as himself, but his future achievements are limitless and promising, and Yang Jiye, Fang Xizhi and others are all promising people, and they are not in vain for their hard work.
Qinghuai Taoist people occasionally talk about friendship, but in their nature, they pay more attention to utilitarianism.
Zhang Qian naturally understands it, but he doesn't care about it, no matter what the purpose of Qinghuai Dao people helping him is, even if he asks for something else, but if he says a flower, he can't erase the fact that he has been favored by him, this is the truth, and it is also his criterion for doing things, if there is kindness, there will be revenge, and there will be revenge.
"In the future, if there is a place where the senior brother needs to get the junior brother, he will let him know, and he will not dare not be concerned. ”
Zhang Qian didn't say anything about sticking a knife in his ribs and smearing his liver and brain, he was hypocritical, and said casually while eating with his head bored.
