The moment Su Sanzai left the town, at the Hanji Food Shop at the Wufangting intersection far in the town, Jiang Zhang, the Tenth Realm Martial Saint, sensed this change almost instantly.
There are billions of monks in the world, all of them are living in the long river of time, fighting against the waves and going upstream, seeking immortality through all kinds of hardships, just to stand on the long river and be as immovable as a mountain, to withstand the erosion of the river, not to go down the river, and to maintain the golden state. The body is incorruptible and immortal, so in the eyes of advanced monks, each practitioner is like a solitary stone in the river, stirring up waves, or like the stars and moon in the night sky, dotted with stars, bright or dark, with their own light and flames.
In addition, Su Sanzai has always been arrogant and domineering, with a wild and spontaneous style. Although his cultivation level is close to the sky, he is too lazy to cover up the radiance of a god, even most of the time. I wish I could beat gongs and drums to announce "I'm here" before people arrive. So this weirdo who seems to be ordinary in the eyes of ordinary people, and even has a sick mind, can be regarded as a highly advanced person. In the eyes of Jiang Zhang and others, it was like a lantern hanging high in the dark night. It was difficult for others to look away. Naturally, it was obvious to come and even more obvious to go.
However, this fourth-grade immortal family chief worshiper Jiang Wusheng, who would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, came from Shijizhou Donghai Aolai to the national army and joined the Yunlin Sect, is not just a person who always likes to be ridiculed by people in the world. The crude martial artist with well-developed limbs and simple mind still did not leave the restaurant in a hurry to go to the east entrance of the town after sensing that the young man in black had left. Instead, he sat at the coffee table in the restaurant with his arms folded across his chest. Close your eyes and rest your mind, sit peacefully like a mountain.
After that poor and down-to-earth young man from the Chu family met the disciple of the Yuanjia Sword Sect under the old locust tree, he went to the small town school again, came out, and then sat back under the old locust tree. , Jiang Gongfeng, who had been sitting in the food shop for a long time, slowly opened his eyes, smiled slightly, stood up, and went out eastward with confidence.
Needless to say, where the small town school was, no matter how brave and talented Jiang Zongfeng was, he did not dare to rashly extend his spiritual consciousness into the courtyard that looked simple and ordinary from the outside to even a little shabby. Among them, but this did not prevent Jiang Zongfeng from having some inner calculations. He only had to take a look at the down-and-out young man who had left the courtyard of the rural school, and it was almost clear to him. In addition to bringing an extra book "" that seemed to be used for the enlightenment of young children, There was nothing else besides the book "Thousand Character Essay", and his expression was a little embarrassed, but other than that, it was no different from before.
Jiang Chongfeng, who felt deeply that he had seen the truth, was completely relieved at this point. Things like "The Thousand Character Classic" are almost as bad as the streets in the world of Jiuzhou. Although it cannot be said that everyone has a copy, as long as someone has read the book People who are literate have almost touched it ten or eight times. The price itself is not expensive. It only costs a few pennies and there is nothing special about it. Jiang Dacong feels that this young man is just like this. Well, when I went to a rural school, I just asked someone to read it out with an elementary reading book, so there was nothing to worry about.
As for the embarrassing look on his face, it can be explained better, because Su Sanzai has always been classified as unpopular among the Confucian sect. This can be seen in Mr. Zhong who helped the down-and-out young man enter the rural school. Moreover, even the Xihe Sword Sect's disciples who were not Confucianists were not very kind to him. When the Yeyu Sword Immortal was at the door of the rural school You can also see the sarcasm in his sarcastic words.
Of course, although Jiang Gongfeng, who arrived later, did not know these previous events, he still knew very well about some long-standing sects in the world. Since Chu Yuanxiao was accepted by Su Sanzai, he had always been with that person. How could the discordant Confucian sect with the young man in black treat him kindly? Giving him a copy of "The Thousand-Character Essay" for enlightenment is already considered as Confucianism's emphasis on benevolence and righteousness to the point where it is always worrying about everything, how can we expect them to treat him more kindly? Are you telling a joke?
The line of Confucianism has always emphasized that "there are great Confucians in talking and laughing, and there are no idle people in social interactions." If you, a poor fellow, go to a country school, what kind of preferential treatment do you want to receive? If you are not embarrassed, who is?
With all these reasons, Jiang Chongfeng was very relieved. After waiting for a long time to confirm that Su Sanzai would not leave and come back, Shi Shiran went to meet the young man openly and honestly. He could not call me Yunlin Sect under any circumstances. Really seal the mountain!
Now that your backers are gone, who can you rely on now? To be alone and at the mercy of others, this is your fate!
…
At the east entrance of the town, a poor boy holding a book for enlightenment returned to the old locust tree with a headache. He sat on the edge of the thick tree pole and knocked his head. Mr. Cui gave him a book. This is indeed something to be happy about. Apart from the book given to him by the girl in white, Li Yuyao, this is the second time that he has come into contact with something for scholars. Moreover, it is also an enlightenment for entering school. This makes the young man who has been thinking about this for a long time and has been dreaming about it for a long time. He was happy from the bottom of his heart, but the problem was that he couldn't read a single Chinese character, so how to understand this book was a headache.
Although Mr. Cui had said that he could go to him if he had any questions, the young man still felt a little embarrassed after thinking about it secretly. He couldn't go to the rural school to find Mr. Cui all the time, right? Starting with those three words on the cover? When will Mr. trouble go? Not to mention whether the husband will be annoyed or not, the young man who has never been used to trouble others for many years cannot be so confident...
If the senior Zhong above his head hadn't told him that he must go to the village school to find Mr. Cui, and if the girl in red hadn't stuffed him into Mr. Cui's study, he himself didn't know when he would be able to actually step into the village school.
Of course, this was not the only thing that gave him a headache. There was also the words that Zhao Jiazi, who had always been at odds with him, said in the village school. The young man who settled down and sat back under the tree was scratching his head when he thought about it now, not knowing how to cope with himself. He just arranged it, and he arranged it in front of other girls. How embarrassing would it be to see those two girls in the future?
In the past, the old monkey arranged for him to talk about how he and Miss Li were doing, but it was only when they were alone. The young man himself never thought that he could have such a blessing, whether it was Miss Li or Jiang. Be it a girl, that golden phoenix flying above the clouds could be seen with a clear eye. How could he, a down-and-out young man who had suffered from one meal to another, think about it? Not all people can follow the same path?
That's not called Xiao Xiang, that's called ambition!
Now that the person surnamed Zhao is called out in front of his face, I'm afraid he won't even be friends anymore. How embarrassing?
The young man was having a headache because of these two things. When he raised his head, he saw a strong man in rich clothes walking slowly from the west side of the long street. He had a kind smile on his face and nodded towards the young man as he walked. In greeting, the young man even had a feeling of "kindness" for a moment... This illusion made his skin crawl all over the floor.
The young man knew the identity of the visitor. He had chatted with Hou Junchen when he entered the town. At that time, he was carrying two bowls of rice out of the hospital, and the man looked back at him. Hou Junchen later told him that this person was now a guest minister of Yunlin Sect. The young man himself said at that time that he felt that this person would come to him. But how long did it take for this to come true? I've opened my mouth before, right?
But no matter what the young man thought, the strong man quickly arrived near the young man. Looking at the young man getting up from under the tree, he smiled and cupped his hands and said: "You and I have met before. I am Jiang Chang, worshiped by the Yunlin Sect. I came here because I wanted to make a special trip to apologize to Brother Chu, and there are also some things I want to discuss."
What a special trip, what a different one.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Seeing that Jiang Zongfeng spoke so politely, the young man couldn't bear to be evil with others, so he could only carefully put the book in his hand into his arms, a place that was precious and important. Smooth it out and wear it securely, fearing that it will get wrinkled and make you feel distressed afterwards.
Jiang Chang, who was opposite, saw the young man lowering his head and cherishing a dirty book so much. A flash of disdain flashed in his eyes for no reason. Sure enough, clay legs are clay legs. Wild boars cannot eat fine chaff, and dog meat cannot be eaten on the table. A book is thrown around in the world. If you can be so careful about the tattered books that are thrown around and sent away, what great potential can there be?
But that's fine, since this mud-legged guy is so small, what he wants to say later will be easier to say and more effective.
The young man lowered his head and did not see the look in the man's eyes. He carefully put the book away, then raised his head and clasped his fists in return, saying calmly: "Senior, you're welcome. The grudge between me and your sect, Mr. Su I have already calculated it for me. As for what happens next, it still depends on whether I have the life to reach the gate of Guizong. I cannot afford to apologize."
The man opposite Jiang Zhang sneered in his heart when he heard this. He is neither humble nor overbearing. Is this because he doesn't want to let the grudge go, and he doesn't dare to say it openly, so he pokes people with soft nails?
Although he was thinking this in his heart, the strong man still smiled again and said: "The two who came first from our Yunlin Sect this time did not ask for it. They did not do things properly. I have already done this." I have severely criticized the two of them, and they are both ashamed of their mistakes and dare not come and apologize to the little brother in person, so I am here to say sorry to the little brother on their behalf, but little brother Chu also said it before, Master Mr. Su has already settled the accounts with my Yunlin Sect, and asked my Yunlin Sect to put half of the family wealth in the name of the younger brother. This punishment is not light, and it can be regarded as the sincerity of my Yunlin Sect, so this time I would like to ask the younger brother Brother, let’s see if this matter has been revealed, how about we just laugh it off and forget about our grudges?”
It can be said that this was said very politely, but Chu Yuanxiao, who was listening to him, always felt that something was not right. He glanced at the strong man with a gentle smile on his face and said seriously: "So Jiang Senior, what you mean is that Mr. Su’s statement that I will go to Yunlin Sect to settle accounts with you will end here, and you won’t need to seal the mountain anymore?”
"Exactly!" Jiang Zhang smiled brightly and said in his heart that children can be taught. At the same time, the smile on his face became more and more kind, and said: "As the saying goes, it is better to dissolve enemies than to marry them. Half of my Yunlin Sect's family fortune is already an astonishing sum. Wealth is no longer an amount that can be calculated with yellow and white things. Such a huge wealth, considering the sincerity of my Yunlin Sect's apology, is enough for you, little brother, to squander it at will without having to calculate it carefully. In this way, although both parties have their own differences, If you have lost something, you have gained something, so let’s just let it go and make peace, why not do it?”
After listening to this passage again, the young man finally understood what he felt was wrong before, so he looked at the man and said expressionlessly: "So, senior, I think that half of your Yunlin Sect's wealth is enough to buy me a short life of thirty years. Enough for me to spend as much as I want before I die from loss of energy and blood?"
This question was not polite at all, and the expression on the face of the strong man froze slightly. He was angry in his heart, and his tone became less kind. He said calmly: "Little brother, Yunlin Sect, fourth-grade sect, Half of the family fortune is not a small amount, not to mention the countless practitioners who have died on the path of seeking. Even if you are free from illness and disaster and truly practice on your own, it is still unclear whether you will be able to earn so much money in this life. , just saying that you are now on the road to death, wouldn't it be nice to have such a sum of money to make you rich and comfortable to live out the remaining years? In today's world, everyone laughs at poverty but not at prostitution. , what kind of life do you want to have with this money? Isn’t it more comfortable than living here and being pointed out by others? Why do you have to argue with my fourth-grade immortal sect about which one is right and which one is wrong? Life is not the same at all. If you want more, wouldn’t it be nice to save some time to enjoy peace and happiness?”
This statement is not new. Ke Yuzhi, a boy from Shuixiu Lake, once said something similar. But hearing it again today, it still made Chu Yuanxiao, a poor boy, laugh. At first, he thought that this strong man with a sincere smile on his face still made him laugh. What's the difference between a handsome man and those other people!
The young man couldn't hold back his smile, and then scratched his head and asked pretending to be confused: "But I heard people say that that aura of water is of great benefit to the cultivation of the road, otherwise it wouldn't attract you to come here to snatch it. With that Once you have Shuiyun, your cultivation path will become much easier and you can go further. Can't you find a good future even if you have Shuiyun? And I also have a master named Su Sanzai. Aren't you all? Do you think he is great?"
This sentence is a pun that belongs to teenagers.
Your Yunlin Sect was forced to give me half of your family fortune because I had a master like Su Sanzai. Now, do you think this is your sincerity? To say that I don't know if I can practice safely to the point where I have half the wealth of the Yunlin Sect, does this mean that my master doesn't exist?
Besides, I had a bright future, but you forced me to die, and then you turned around and gave me half of your family wealth like a charity? If the two sides really want to be even, shouldn't your Yunlin Sect be cut off from the road? Why did you use half of your money to pay for my life? Just because you are a fourth-grade immortal sect, and I am just a mud-legged person in your eyes? You can still earn back half of your family fortune. Let me ask, can you earn back the other half of your life with this short life that has been cut off?
Jiang Chang, who was a sharp-tongued country boy and was somewhat short of breath after being refuted, finally completely darkened his face at this moment. He looked at the young man and sneered: "Boy, it seems that I was the one before. I'm so polite to you that you don't know what it means to be too generous, right?"
After saying this, Jiang Zhang suddenly straightened up, looked down at the young man, and said sarcastically: "Yes, you do have a good master named Su Sanzai, but have you ever thought about a question? That master of yours It is indeed powerful. Some less successful third-grade sects may have been crumbled by his disaster, but that is not something that can be achieved overnight. If our Yunlin Sect is really unwilling to pay for half of the family wealth, you will have a short life. Is there anyone who has the honor to live to see your so-called master finish all the harm to our Yunlin Sect?"
"Besides, as the saying goes, people are always ready when their tea is cold. Now it is clear that you will not live to be thirty years old, and you may not even live to that time. You will have to see the King of Hell in only a few years. Before you die, you That good master may still remember you, but what happens when you die? He has been watching you for thousands of years, and you are just a whim on the long journey of cultivation. How many days do you think your master can remember you? At that time, my Yunlin Sect was still a majestic fourth-grade immortal sect, but you were already a pile of dead bones eating rats. Who will suffer more than whom? I’m afraid you don’t know that for me, a practitioner, it’s hard to stay in isolation. In such a situation, you can sit there for decades or hundreds of years without leaving the mountain. You are a short-lived ghost who has only lived for more than ten years. To us, it is just a nap. You actually want to settle accounts with us? Don’t you? Do you think too highly of yourself?"
At this moment, after listening to his long story, Chu Yuanxiao finally understood one thing. Why did the many immortal family members he saw these days look at them like that to ordinary people in the small town? Indifferent, cool, and aloof, like a god looking at ants or a giant looking at dust. It turns out that's why.
When people practice in the Immortal family and reach a certain level, after breaking through certain boundaries of the small world of the human body, their life span will naturally be lengthened. It can be as short as one or two hundred years, as long as thousands or tens of thousands of years, and some can be infinitely close. With true immortality and tens of millions of years, ordinary people may really not be much different from ants in their eyes, and the two can no longer be regarded as the same species.
The great road of heaven and earth is inherently ruthless. When people practice spiritual practice, they walk along it and follow its light and its dust. Naturally, they are also ruthless for the longest time.
Jiang Chang, the minister of Yunlin Sect, looked at the young man who was a little stunned by what he said. He smiled complacently, and suddenly slowed down his tone and said with a smile: "So, little brother Chu, please don't worry about this matter anymore. You and I have reached an agreement." Reconciliation, you have money to spend, you will have grace and glory before you die, Yunlin Sect will also avoid the disaster of closure, and both parties will be happy, this is the best solution, are you right?"
The young man who was awakened by Jiang Chang's ever-changing words raised his head and glanced at the strong man who became "amiable" again. He was silent for a moment, and then suddenly laughed, but he didn't. He didn't answer directly, but slowly raised his hand and took out something from his arms. Then he looked at the man and smiled and said, "Mr. Su told me before he left that if anything happens, you can use this money to find him." , I now feel that what you said, Senior Jiang, is very reasonable, and Mr. Su should also listen to it, or else we call him back and you can explain this truth to him again?"
The moment the young man took out the warning money, the face of the burly man who was originally complacent suddenly changed in shock!
What a good Su Sanzai. He never concealed his dazzling luster and arrogance, but the money he left for this young man was carefully covered up by means. If the young man hadn't paid for it himself at this moment, When he came out, he didn't notice anything in advance! What a good means and good calculation!
The ugly-looking man Jiang Chang had a gloomy look on his face, staring at the coin in the young man's hand, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "What a Su Sanzai, what a Chu Yuanxiao, very good!"
As he spoke, he suddenly laughed strangely, looked at the young man, and said in a sinister tone: "Okay, then call that good master of yours over. I have been trying to break through the tenth level of the Martial Saint for many years, but to no avail. Today It’s time to ask Mr. Su Da, who is famous all over the world, for advice and find an opportunity to break through! If he can’t kill me, you, Chu Yuanxiao, will never expect to see half of the Yunlin Sect family in your lifetime. If he can kill me, Then let's see if Su Sanzai can bear the title of 'indiscriminate killing' on the record book of Linyuan Academy in the Divine Continent of Middle-earth, can he still bear it?!"
The big-bodied and round-shouldered Tenth Level martial artist said such a sentence fiercely, which frightened the young man for a moment, and made him hesitate a little. In fact, he was not afraid at all that he would not be able to see half of the Yunlin Sect's family fortune. He was used to living a hard life, and now even if he didn't Even if you have money, you won't be short of food. It's better to have money. It doesn't matter if you don't have money. What he is really afraid of is the last sentence Jiang Chang said.
When Hou Junchen talked about the Jianghu Nine-Rank System, he said that Linyuan Academy was a super-class and was in charge of the Nine-Rank System. Although it was a joint force built by Jianghu sects dominated by hundreds of schools of thought, in the In a sense, he is actually a character similar to the co-leader of Nine Continents, similar to the last human emperor who has disappeared. If Su Sanzai is accounted for in that academy, he is really not sure whether he can Can bear it...
And although he had only had a few contacts with Su Sanzai in total, based on his current understanding of the young man in black who seemed to be out of his mind, he looked at Jiang Chang, who was said to be a great martial arts master in front of him. There was a fierce expression on his face but also a hint of sternness. He felt that there was a high possibility that if Su Sanzai was really called over by him, this Jiang Zhang...
Dead!
…
Just when the young man was hesitant to pronounce those four words, suddenly a hand slowly placed on the young man's shoulder, and patted the young man's shoulder gently as if to comfort him, and then there was a carefree voice. Slowly sounded: "Jiang Zhang, if you scare a junior with such words, you are really promising. Come on, come on, or else you can tell me your reasons and see if you can scare me too?"
…
