Chapter 169: Another one
Chapter 169 for another
On this morning, after Zhong Qingzhu got up, she was still the same as a few days ago, sitting alone in the small building with a calm expression, leaning against the window and looking into the distance, the flowers and plants in the garden, the blue sky and white clouds, all reflected in her bright eyes, turned into a quiet scenery, faintly swaying and flowing.
After sitting for a long time, she suddenly stood up, walked down the small building, and found her mother Liu in the house, saying that she was going to leave and go back to Jinhong Mountain.
The Liu family was a little stunned for a while, because Zhong Qingzhu had not mentioned the matter of returning to the mountain these days, and living like this day by day was a rare reunion day for the mother and daughter over the years. Liu's heart was a little reluctant, but compared to the past when Zhong Qingzhu came back to visit her every time she came back to visit her, she only stayed for a while and a half before hurrying back to the mountain, this time she had accompanied herself for so many days, and Liu's heart was actually very satisfied.
And in her heart, she has always thought that her daughter's going to Jinhong Mountain to cultivate is a big deal, so although she is reluctant to give up, she still hurriedly packs up for her daughter.
said that it was to clean up, but Zhong Qingzhu is now a monk of Ning Yuan Realm, and he has entered the seat of the elder of Lejingshan in the array hall, where will the Liu family be busy, but his mother has a heart, even if most of the things he took were mundane things that could not be used at all, such as food and clothing, Zhong Qingzhu still showed a faint smile and accepted them one by one.
It's just that when she was about to leave after packing up, Zhong Qingzhu suddenly grabbed Liu's family, lowered her voice but looked very solemn, and said, "Mother, why don't we move out and live." ”
Liu Shi was taken aback and said, "What?"
Zhong Qingzhu said: "I don't like to live here in the Zhong family very much, and don't forget how these people in the Zhong family used to call you around." Let's move out, and I'll buy you another house in the city, and you live there, or add a few more maids to wait, and I'll come back to see you from time to time, wouldn't it be more comfortable than comfortable?"
Liu shook his head and said, "Silly girl, do you know how expensive the houses in the city are now, I heard that ordinary monks can't afford any small house." ”
Zhong Qingzhu smiled, his expression was indifferent, and said, "Mother, you don't have to worry about Lingjing, I naturally have a way." ”
Liu Shi was silent for a moment, but he still had a bit of a resolute look, and said, "I'm not leaving." ”
Zhong Qingzhu was a little puzzled in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Mother, why are you doing this?"
Liu sighed and said, "Qingzhu, I probably know why you want to move away in your heart, but we can't forget our roots, back then, our mother and daughter went to the Zhong family alone, and in the end, it was the Zhong family who was kind and took ......us in."
As soon as he said this, Liu Shi saw that Zhong Qingzhu had a little tiredness on his face, and sighed in his heart, but he still insisted on saying it, and said: "Yes, I know that you have always felt that the Zhong family has treated us harshly, speaking of which, in the first few years, our life in the Zhong family was not good, and we were called by people like people at the moment, and how much dirty work we did as cattle and horses, these mothers all know." But...... In the final analysis, if the Zhong family hadn't taken us in at the beginning, it's hard to say whether our mother and daughter would have survived until now. ”
"Give a bite to eat, although it may be leftovers, and give a house to live in, even if it is dilapidated and leaky, but after all, you can still eat and live in peace, no longer be displaced, and you don't have to worry all day long. My mother has no knowledge and no ability, but I think we owe the Zhong family a lot of money for this matter, and since you came out, the Zhong family has treated us a lot better, and even gave us this small building garden in the end, and my mother is really satisfied. ”
"So, I'm not leaving. ”
Liu finally said this to his daughter.
Zhong Qingzhu stood silently in front of his mother for a long time, then gently hugged his mother, and then left here without saying a word.
Walking out of the Zhong family's mansion and going all the way, Zhong Qingzhu always felt a little dazed in his heart, as if his mood was still difficult to calm down after many days, and his heart was always fluctuating in that torment and loss.
She was going back to the mountain, but she didn't know if it was because of the words made by her mother when she left, and she couldn't lift her spirits, so she walked in the bustling and lively Liuyun City.
Walking through one street after another, aimlessly, she didn't seem to know where she was, but when she saw the shops and storefronts on both sides of the street, she occasionally thought of the past that Shen Shi had mentioned to her, after traveling and hunting in the wilderness, he would often linger in the location of these businesses and shops, was it because he grew up in such a place since he was a child?
What was going on in his mind?
One street after another, quietly passing under her feet, from noisy to calm, she gradually moved away from the crowd, walked through the unfamiliar streets, and in the next moment, she suddenly stopped, as if in a trance, pondered for a moment and then gently turned back to look at the street she had just passed.
It was a long street that was secluded and secluded.
It seems to be, a little familiar.
※※※
Jinhong Mountain, Sea View Platform, Apex Garden of the Instrument Hall.
The cold atmosphere lasted for a while, no one spoke, and the air around them seemed to freeze, making people feel a little nervous.
However, compared to the others, Old Man Pu obviously didn't care about this, and even sat directly on the black-veined turtle shell as big as a small table, and drank two more sips of wine leisurely. And under him, the black-striped turtle seemed to be frightened by this invisible atmosphere, and it didn't dare to poke its head out for a long time, and kept shrinking into its hard shell.
After a while, Elder Sun Mingyang's face was like frost, he looked at Old Man Pu coldly, and said, "Old Pu, what do you mean?"
Old man Pu took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth very unvividly, sighed as if he was lamented by the deliciousness of the wine, and then smiled, and said to Sun Mingyang: "Old Sun, I don't think you should understand? ”
Sun Mingyang raised his eyebrows, and there was a faint anger on his face, while Sun Heng, who was standing on the side, was slightly pale, looking at Old Man Pu in surprise and confusion, he really couldn't imagine where he had offended such a great real person in the Yuan Dan Realm, and he would actually come to embarrass himself.
The atmosphere in this scene was a little tense in an instant, and the two Yuan Dan Realm real people had a hidden confrontation, and the invisible power even made people feel a little breathless, but at this time, someone suddenly coughed lightly twice, which broke the tense silence and eased the atmosphere a little.
The one who could speak out at this time was the third Yuan Dan Realm Great True Person present, Elder Jin Zhan of the Spirit Beast Palace, I saw him approaching Old Man Pu, brushing the dust lightly, but with a little wry smile, and said in a low voice: "Old Pu, what are you doing, you are all brothers in the same sect, everyone looks up and doesn't see you when you look up on weekdays......"
Old man Pu rolled his eyes, sat on the turtle shell and didn't bother to get up, with a bit of mockery in his tone, and said: "Yes, you also said that you didn't look up and look down, when Lao Tzu was going to accept apprentices a few days ago, that was a bad thing, Lao Jin, don't tell me you don't know?"
Elder Jin Zhan was speechless for a moment, he was also one of the five elders, his status was also transcendent on weekdays, and he was also a highly respected and powerful figure in the Lingxiao Sect, although the incident a few days ago was also a trivial matter, but the matter involved several elders, even if it was a little bit of anger and vindictiveness, he had heard about it afterwards.
At this time, he was also a little tired in his heart, thinking to himself that no matter what you two said, they are both great people in the Yuan Dan Realm, how can you actually ...... for such a trivial matter Shaking his head, he didn't bother to think about it anymore, so he glanced back at Elder Sun Mingyang, but saw that Elder Sun's face was cold at the moment, and he saw that Elder Pu had no intention of giving in, Jin Zhan and Sun Mingyang had been old friends for many years, and sighed in his heart, so he had to turn back to Old Man Pu and say:
"Okay, okay, can you forget it, it should be for my sake? Lao Pu, we are all such old people, and if you embarrass these young boys for this little thing, you will lose face when you say it." ”
Old man Pu sneered: "According to what you say, he should embarrass my apprentice, and if I embarrass his grandson, he will lose face?"
Elder Jin Zhan glared and said, "Old man Pu, you don't want to mess around." As he spoke, his voice lowered a little lower, and he said, "This matter doesn't matter to us old men, but it is a lifelong event for young people, and he has always valued this grandson, so why bother to turn his face? ”
Old man Pu frowned, as if he felt a little scruple for the first time that the real person in charge of the sect was pulled out.
Elder Jin Zhan saw that there was a door, and hurriedly said: "In this way, go back and let your apprentice come to me, the old man will be a peacemaker, give him some benefits, and the two will cancel each other, and everyone will be harmonious, after all, they are all from the same sect and the same family, why make such an ugly fuss? Are you right?"
Old man Pu snorted, his eyes flashed, but he said, "What if you say something good, what if others are not the same thing as you?"
Elder Jin Zhan looked back, Sun Mingyang also snorted, but his face was a little softer, and he said coldly: "Brother Jin has been friends with me for many years, his words are what I mean. ”
Elder Jin Zhan smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Old Man Pu, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Old Pu, don't make trouble." ”
Old man Pu pursed his lips and said, "That's it, you can count it as giving Lao Jin some face." ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly relaxed, and Sun Heng showed a smile on his face, not to mention it, even Sun Mingyang was secretly relieved. From just now, he was most afraid that this old man Pu, who had always been crazy, would suddenly go crazy, and he must keep an eye on his grandson, in case there was some kind of demon moth idea that he wanted Sun Heng to go under the Coral Sea, it would be bad.
Let Sun Heng go, Sun Mingyang really didn't have confidence that his grandson could pass this level, but if he didn't let Sun Heng go, it seemed that his grandson was not as good as Old Man Pu's apprentice, and even he was a little afraid of Old Man Pu, which was a dilemma.
But when things came to this point, he also put his mind at ease, and was about to turn around and prepare to beckon Sun Heng to quickly kill the black-veined turtle earlier, when he suddenly heard the voice of the old man Pu behind him, and said lightly over there:
"Hey, old Jin, since the old man has come here, I have to change the meaning a little. Besides, the black-veined turtle is also the weakest one among the first-order demon beasts, and this is too ugly to hear, so change it. ”
