Chapter 4 Hostility
Zhou Qing left the main hall, with red leaves on the road between his eyebrows and thick autumn clothes. He walked on the mountain road, thinking about He Yun's last panic and fear, his eyes brightened.
In this line of work, the most important thing is to obtain the Earth Source Pill to help you refine yourself from the inside to open the meridians as quickly as possible, and open the blocked meridians in the body.
At the same time, take a look to see if the deacon who manages the elixirs is the same as he remembered in the previous life. He often actively or passively misappropriated elixirs such as Diyuan Dan.
As expected, the deacons who managed the elixir still had the same virtue and misappropriated it!
If the other party gives you a chance, you should accept it.
He Yun was ordered by someone that day not to give his maid Su Yun the essence and elixir. This time I seized the opportunity to make a scene and felt bad. At the same time, he can also kill chickens to scare monkeys, knock on mountains to frighten tigers, and tell the people of the Zhou clan in Hengnan that he is not to be messed with.
In a family of cultivators like the Zhou family in Hengnan, if the younger members of the family want to rise to the top, they cannot tolerate it, or keep a low profile and bide their time, which will only be ignored by the higher-ups.
Being brave and diligent, and daring to take action will attract people’s attention.
Zhou Qing was thinking about the "road" he would take in the future. Instead of going home, he turned around and went to the clan's scripture collection building.
The Sutra Library is an important place for the Zhou family in Hengnan, with a total of six floors. The entire building rises from the ground and stands out from the crowd. There are many waterfalls and springs hanging down in Zhouzao. When you walk in front of you, the water vapor fills the air and rises slowly, like smoke and clouds. From time to time, there are white birds flying over, monkeys climbing on the tree vines, and the Zhou family's children coming and going in a hurry.
As soon as I got a little closer, I felt a heavy pressure.
There was a carefully arranged formation here, and there were powerful people stationed there, so he went there according to the rules, reported his name, and then had his identity and cultivation verified by a specialized person, and then entered the second floor.
After going upstairs, Zhou Qing went straight to the bookshelf in the corner.
This bookshelf runs along the wall and leads directly to the roof. It is made of sycamore and jade wood, and is covered with scattered young leaves. It is swaying, large or small, half-covered and half-covered, and has various hollow wooden board frames. , or triangle, or square, or ellipse, or semicircle, they reflect each other and are uniquely elegant. In the frame are placed a long-necked jade-painted vase, or a jade Ruyi with a lotus blooming on the handle, or a pure jade whisk. Of course, the most common ones are various Taoist books, such as "Xiao Tian Xing Jue", "Xiao Tian Xing Jue", "Xiao Tian Xing Jue", "Tianchuan Pulse Technique", "Yunluo Tongqiao Diagram", etc.
Not only are the objects placed on the bookshelf beautiful, but many Taoist books have a hazy layer of reddish golden light, which is dense inside and outside. At the top, there are waves of clouds hanging down, creating a strange phenomenon of their own. .
The Taoist book has this vision, and the words in the manual have true meaning!
The Hengnan Zhou family is called a family of practitioners, and they are indeed very rich. The bookshelves full of Taoist books are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Zhou Qing stepped forward, took down "Xiao Tian Xing Jue", opened it and looked through it.
This is a method of meridian circulation. The disciples of the Zhou clan like to choose it as a way to break through the meridians. This method is not only upright, but also involves many meridians in the body, which can lay a solid foundation.
Although Zhou Qing did not intend to practice this technique, he still read through it carefully, preparing to brainstorm and draw parallels.
After reading this one, Zhou Qing picked up another one.
He was reading a book, combined with his past life experience, and the more he read, the more he became fascinated. Above his eyebrows, the light of wisdom flowed and condensed into substance.
With the book in hand, I never give up day and night.
Time passed quickly, the sun rose and set. I don’t know how long it took. When the Jade Rabbit rose again outside, wisps of moonlight were cast on the window screen, breaking like new snow, and Zhou Qing slowly spit out In one breath, I sorted out the contents of the books I read. When he opened his eyes again, he felt more confident about his next practice.
While Zhou Qing was studying in the pavilion, a young man about his age was coming out of the Sutra Pavilion.
This young man wears a golden crown on his head, is extremely tall, has a condensed aura, and his upper and lower parts are integrated into one body. He stands firmly, and there is a kind of heaviness that blocks everything.
"The young master is coming out."
Seven or eight attendants were waiting on the road. When they saw the young man with the golden crown coming out, they helped him get into the carriage, and then surrounded him on the road.
Not long ago, a group of people arrived outside a manor.
At a glance, the gate tower is tall, and the headdress on the front of the gable is exquisitely carved. Reflecting the skylight, one can vaguely see the majestic pavilion facing the water, the pavilion on the mountain, the halls and pavilions in the manor behind the gate, all of which are majestic. Even in front of the steps of the gatehouse, there are men in green clothes standing with long swords hanging on their waists and gold and iron eyes, which looks awe-inspiring.
The carriage did not stop at all, and went straight in. Under the watchful eyes of two rows of men in Tsing Yi with swords, they entered the manor.
When you get inside, turn left and right, and the carriage comes to the west courtyard.
The young man with the golden crown got off the carriage. At the same time, the maid on the side of the carriage took a look and understood. She immediately stepped forward, picked up the copper ring in front of the door, and knocked it a few times. The sound was clear and distant. open.
“Here we come.”
As soon as the door knocker rang, there were light footsteps in the courtyard. Then, the door creaked open, and a maid in white came out. When she saw the girl at the door, she was happy at first, and then she saw the golden-crowned boy behind her, and she quickly put away her smile. , gathered his crotch and saluted, and said: "The young master is back."
Zhou Luoyun nodded, shook up his clothes and went inside. When he arrived in the courtyard, he did not go to the main room, but to the east wing.
The wing is neither big nor small. Even if you don't live there often, it is cleaned every day. The bed is clean and spotless. The windows were covered with precious green gauze, and bookshelves were set up against the wall, leading to the top, full of manuscripts. A jade flute hangs on one side, and half of the bamboo is about to open. The maid in white who opened the door lit the spices in the incense burner on the table, and the smoke made it even more peaceful.
Zhou Luoyun sat down, looking from this courtyard to the entire manor. Looking at it attentively, the various buildings in the manor are dense and lush. From the dense forest, there is a precious light and green edict overflowing from time to time. There is hidden auspiciousness, but it is contained without leaking. Occasionally, it makes a wonderful sound, like the gurgling of spring water. The flow continues. This manor alone is already quite impressive!
Zhou Luoyun withdrew his gaze, and there was a bright light deep in his eyes.
This manor is just a shelter prepared by the Zhou family for disciples like himself, so it can have such a heritage. And the single-family manor prepared for the Qi refining level of the clan is even more extraordinary, far beyond this place.
The resources and connections controlled by a practicing family like the Hengnan Zhou Family are beyond human imagination. Only with the full support of such a family can we have the opportunity to reach higher realms and climb to the top.
To advance in this world, cultivating resources is the most important thing, and family innateness is where resources are accumulated.
Zhou Luoyun's brows were green. He has been planning recently to become the highest priority training target in the clan. This is a good start for controlling the family's power in the future.
At this time, there were footsteps outside the door, and then the pleasant voice of the maid came, saying: "Guan Ping, the deacon, is here. He said he has something to see."
"Guan Ping."
When Zhou Luoyun heard these two words, his eyes moved and he said: "Ask him to wait in the living room."
"Yes."
After the maid agreed, she went to do things.
Zhou Luoyun took another manuscript from the bookshelf. After reading it, he put it back, then opened the door and went to the living room.
Guan Ping leaned sideways and talked to the maid who led him in. His smile was broad, friendly and natural, and there was even a small amount of flattery in his words.
Seeing Zhou Luoyun come in, Guan Ping stood up even more. His face turned respectful, he bent down like a real servant and said, "Master Luoyun."
Zhou Luoyun sat down on the big chair in the center of the living room, glanced at Guan Ping, and said, "Sit down."
Guan Ping did not dare to sit down, so he replied humbly: " Just stand up.”
Zhou Luoyun sat steady, and the skylight outside shone in, making him look more like a god. Even his voice had an inexplicable majesty. He got straight to the point and said, "What's the matter?"
Guan Ping had already become accustomed to the behavior of the direct descendant of the clan in front of him. He lowered his head and reported: "Young Master, according to the news that just came, Zhou Qing has completed the internal refining, received the Earth Origin Pill, and went to Tibet. Jinglou, it seems that he is looking for a technique to break through the meridians."
When Zhou Luoyun heard this, his face immediately became as dark as water, and his eyebrows were stained. Chill, looking extremely unhappy.
Guan Ping lowered his head, and out of the corner of his eye he saw that the young master Zhou Luoyun had stood up and was pacing back and forth in the hall. His clothes were swaying as if the wind and clouds were gathering, and he was carrying everything. Hiding his anger, he couldn't help but wonder: Why does Young Master Luoyun pay so much attention to Zhou Qing?
Some time ago, I was instructed by Master Luoyun to persuade Zhou Qing to pursue an official career. Who would have thought that he would be rejected without saying anything, and when he came back, he would be sternly told by Master Luoyun to keep an eye on Zhou Qing and report anything he found.
As soon as the report was made today, Master Luoyun became furious.
“Does Master Luoyun regard Zhou Qing as a serious opponent?”
Thinking about Zhou Luoyun’s reaction, Guan Ping couldn’t help but come up with a guess, but think about it again , and unlikely.
Zhou Luoyun was born in the main lineage of the Zhou family. He has a rich background and outstanding talent. He has already begun to cleanse the marrow and move the bones. He is the leader of the younger generation of the Zhou family. In the future, he will definitely break through to the Dao realm and enter the Qi refining realm. .
Zhou Qing, on the other hand, has average talent and has been stuck at the inner refining level for many years. The branches behind his mother and uncle have long since declined, leaving only a few kittens and puppies.
Although Zhou Luoyun and Zhou Qing are both in the Zhou clan, their status in the clan is in the sky and below. Zhou Qing, who was born in the Zhou family in Hengnan, only allowed him a place in the Zhou family for the sake of his mother and uncle. He didn't care about the management of his own clan, how could he be regarded as a rival by Master Luoyun? ?
Guan Ping was puzzled, but he didn’t dare to ask any more questions.
"Zhou Qing."
Zhou Luoyun was pacing in the hall. Between his eyebrows, there seemed to be purple and green mist, which went straight up like a canopy. His face was solemn. Unexpectedly, Zhou Qing would make a breakthrough this time. It seemed that he was right to let Guan Ping lead him to an official career.
Unfortunately, Zhou Qing rejected his kindness.
“If you don’t eat the toast, you will have to drink as a penalty.”
A sharp look flashed in Zhou Luoyun’s eyes, and he was about to speak when he suddenly felt something.
