Chapter 288: Insight into people's hearts
Before Chen Xiyao finished speaking, Ning Daoran understood everything.
Zhou Qingshan serves as the inner elder of the Chaos Sect and is also in charge of Longxiang Village. At this time, Zhou Qingshan's state of mind is probably very different from that of the young man when he first went up the mountain. He has seen so many scenery that he wants to transfer these The scenery is left to the descendants of the Zhou family.
Therefore, after the Chen family finally produced a genius like Chen Xiyao in hundreds of years, Zhou Qingshan's first thought was to hide this genius and let him fend for himself in the world.
In fact, Zhou Qingshan should be grateful that he did not silence Chen Xiyao. This little kindness of a woman saved his own life.
……
"Chen Xiyao."
Ning Daoran said seriously: "I won't hide it from you. In fact, you have spiritual roots, and it is a third-grade thunder spirit root. It is extremely rare and rare. Are you willing to follow me to the Chaos Sect to study Dharma and cultivate immortality? Don't worry, little one Lotus is my relative, and I will definitely treat you well.”
"Xiyao is naturally willing!"
Chen Xiyao immediately put down the skirt-pressing knife and knelt on the ground. When she raised her head, there were tears in her eyes: "Ancestor, does Xiyao really have spiritual roots?"
"Yeah, and it's a high-grade spiritual root."
Ning Daoran raised his hand gently, used the power of Evergreen Technique to help Chen Xiyao up, and said, "Without further ado, shall we return to Chaos Sect immediately?"
"Yes!"
The next second, Ning Daoran flicked his sleeves and took out a ten-meter-long flying boat from the storage ring. After letting Chen Xiyao ride on it, he activated the flying boat and returned to the chaos with the big stupid deer. Zong.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the sect.
"Huh?"
An early-stage foundation-building elder guarding the mountain gate was slightly shocked: "Ning... Ancestor Ning is back?"
"Well, there are some things coming back."
"Welcome ancestor!"
A group of monks guarding the mountain gate hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted.
Ning Daoran controlled the flying boat and did not return to Qibi Peak. He turned into a ray of light and flew to Zixiao Peak. No one else in the sect could handle this matter. Only Han Bing, the sect leader, could decide everything.
……
"Senior brother..."
In the cave, Han Bing looked at the girl with a pair of beautiful eyes: "She...who is she?"
"The descendants of Little Lotus."
Ning Daoran sat upright and said: "Her name is Chen Xiyao, third-grade Lei Linggen. When I found her, she was performing shadow puppetry in a troupe."
"Huh?"
Han Bing shuddered slightly and said: "Since he has the third-grade thunder spirit root, why doesn't Zhou Qingshan come to report it? Doesn't the sect have someone who goes to Longxiang Village every year to test the spirit root? Why is Chen Xiyao missing?"
Chen Xiyao looked at this fairy sister and knew that she had a very high status, so she did not dare to overstep the mark in the slightest. She just whispered: "To the Immortal, I was sent to the theater troupe by my tribe when I was very young... …”
"Junior sister, there is no need to ask."
Ning Daoran said lightly: "Zhou Qingshan has met Chen Xiyao, and he must have discovered it when he saw Chen Xiyao. Otherwise, with the Chen family's connections in the village, what can Chen Xiyao do at such a young age? Do you have to be sent to a theater troupe to endure hardships, be exposed to wind and rain, and walk through the streets to perform in various villages? ”
"That's it."
Han Bing took a deep breath: "Brother, what are you going to do?"
"It depends on Zhou Qingshan's reaction. Let's talk about Chen Xiyao first."
Ning Daoran said: "Chen Xiyao has been abandoned by her clan since she was a child. She has a perseverant heart and has a third-grade thunder spirit root. It is a pity that she missed the golden period of ten years of cultivating immortals. But it doesn't matter. We are a little sorry." If she tries to make up for it, she can still be a useful talent.”
He narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Little junior sister, what do you think of her?"
“Excellent.”
Han Bing understood and said with a smile: "In that case, senior brother, let me personally accept Chen Xiyao as a disciple and inherit the mantle of the Zixiao Peak lineage. It just so happens that Xiyao has Thunder Spirit Root, so she can cultivate it as a senior sister and stay. With the Zixiaoyang Thunder Manual and the Ziyun Sword Jue of my Ziyunfeng lineage, there may be hope for forming pills in the future.”
Chen Xiyao opened her big watery eyes and couldn't understand at all.
……
True Yang Peak.
In a cave on the top of the peak, an elder in the early stages of foundation building floated in and said with a pale face: "Brother, Ancestor Ning has gone up the mountain again, and there is a woman on the flying boat."
"Alas..."
Zhou Qingshan sighed and put away a fiery red mirror in his hand. Not long ago, he had actually used this spiritual mirror to see everything. The girl was none other than Chen Xiyao.
The thing I was most worried about finally happened.
At that time, Zhou Qingshan acted selfishly and made mistakes, and blocked the fact that Chen Xiyao had superior spiritual roots. This move was naturally to allow the Zhou family to secure the status of Longxiang Village and even the Chaos Sect, but who would have thought When Ning Daoran returned to the village, he still found Chen Xiyao and took him back to the Chaos Sect.
With Ning Daoran's cultivation and knowledge, there is no doubt that he will easily understand the secrets of this matter.
"The Zhou family is finished..."
Zhou Qingshan sighed, with a look of pain on his face: "It's all my fault that I was too selfish for a moment, and that's why I made a big mistake. For things like this... how could my grandfather forgive me so easily?" "Senior Brother, I'm worried now. What’s the meaning?”
Elder Ji Zhu frowned and said: "Old Ancestor Ning has already taken Chen Xiyao to see the sect master. At this moment, the sect master probably already knows about the matter. Since the matter has been exposed, it is useless for senior brother to regret it. It is better to think about how to make up for it. The consequences of this matter.”
"That's okay..."
Zhou Qingshan stood up majestically and said: "Immediately send an order to summon all the descendants of the Zhou family who are practicing in the sect, and go with me to Zixiao Peak to plead guilty to my grandfather...especially those children who are still young, take them all, so many The descendants of the family knelt down together. I believe that my grandfather would also feel compassion and would not be too harsh to our Zhou family..."
"Okay."
Elder Ji Zhu was sweating profusely and hurried away.
……
In the early morning, before sunrise, a large number of descendants of the Zhou family appeared outside the Han Bing Cave in Zixiao Peak. There were more than forty people, and they knelt down towards the cave under the leadership of ancestor Zhou Qingshan.
"Grandpa, Zhou Qingshan has realized his crime and is willing to accept any punishment!"
After Zhou Qingshan knelt down, he knocked his head down and was unable to kneel down.
"Hmph!"
In the cave, Ning Daoran sneered: "I see opportunities quickly."
Han Bing said softly: "Zhou Qingshan... is quite diligent in his work in the sect, and he is quite restrained towards the descendants of the Zhou family. However, this matter is really disgraceful. How to deal with him and the descendants of the Zhou family?" , it all depends on the senior brother.”
"Yeah."
Ning Daoran nodded: "Junior sister, go out with me and let senior brother show off his power."
Han Bing couldn't help but chuckle.
Outside the restricted area of the cave, a wisp of mist emerged, and then two golden elixir monks walked out of the cave.
"I've met my grandfather, I've met the sect leader..."
The Zhou family showed piety, especially the young monks, who were in great awe of the two Jindan monks.
"Zhou Qingshan."
Ning Daoran put one hand behind his back, exuding an aura of everlasting indifference, and said: "Have you forgotten what it was like when I took you up the mountain? You went from nothing to what you have achieved today, why are you still not satisfied? Is it possible? Isn’t it true that only you, Zhou Qingshan, deserve to have all this, and others in the village don’t deserve it?”
"Zhou Qingshan... realized his mistake..."
The ancestor banged his head on the ground hard and cried: "Grandpa, Zhou Qingshan let you down...I'm sorry...I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have been like this..."
"Is it enough to just apologize?"
Ning Daoran raised his eyebrows: "People have to pay the price for what they do."
"Please be punished by my grandfather, Zhou Qingshan will never complain!"
"Okay!"
Ning Daoran said calmly: "You have three days to move out of the Chaos Sect with everyone in the Zhou family. From now on, you will no longer be members of the Chaos Sect. Go and seek immortality elsewhere. The Zhou family's ancestors have also protected you because of it." You Zhou Qingshan is cut off here, this In addition, I went to the village and found that the tombs of the ancestors of the Zhou family had not been worshiped or taken care of for many years. After you, Zhou Qingshan, became a great monk of foundation building, have you really forgotten your roots and your ancestors? "
"I..."
Zhou Qingshan trembled all over.
"You should be glad that you didn't kill anyone and get rid of Chen Xiyao, otherwise..." Ning Daoran's eyes showed a sharp look, and the people of the descendants of the Zhou family suddenly felt chilled.
"Grandpa..."
week If he kills him, will the matter in front of him disappear?
When the thought came to this point, Zhou Qingshan couldn't help but immediately rejected it in his heart. This matter must never be done. He, Zhou Qingshan, is not such an unscrupulous person in the first place.
At this moment, a chill suddenly passed through Zhou Qingshan's soul, and it seemed that he had penetrated all his thoughts. When Zhou Qingshan looked up, he saw Ning Daoran's cold eyes.
For a moment, Zhou Qingshan broke into a cold sweat and his clothes were soaked instantly.
My grandfather’s cultivation is so profound that he can actually see into other people’s minds...
Zhou Qingshan was covered in cold sweat, already knowing that he had just passed through the gate of hell. If he had hidden luck in his heart and regretted not killing Chen Xiyao, he would have been a corpse at this moment.
"Okay, no need to say more."
Ning Daoran said: "Do as you are told. From now on, you people in this lineage have nothing to do with the Chaos Sect, nor with the Zhou family in Longxiang Village. Leave Qingzhou to find a way out elsewhere."
< br>
"Yes, grandpa..."
Zhou Qingshan kowtowed slowly.
But at this moment, Ning Daoran's eyes fell on a silly boy in the crowd. This boy was about five or six years old. He was dark, holding a meat bun in his hand, and had snot bubbles hanging from his nose. , a pair of eyes focused towards the middle, with clear light in their eyes.
This son is very similar to his ancestor Zhou Tiezhu!
Moreover, what is surprising is that this boy actually possesses a fourth-grade fire spirit root!
