Lingzhou.
Lingshan County.
"It's still as lively here as ever."
Chu Xiu walked on the main street of Lingshan County City, as if he had stepped into this city for the first time.
A group of women standing on the second floor of the brothel, with beautiful flowers and branches, were just like in the past, commenting on the passers-by, sometimes casting flirtatious glances, and smiling coquettishly.
Walking the same road again, Chu Xiu's state of mind was completely different.
Nowadays, he has lost the youthfulness of his first entry into the world, and no longer has the youthful spirit of "explaining sorrow just to compose new words".
"Once a man has experienced a woman, he seems to mature."
Chu Xiu muttered, and people had arrived outside Xia's mansion.
"Young Master Biao?!" The servant of the Xia Mansion poked his head out of the door. When he saw Chu Xiu, he shouted in surprise, his cloudy eyes widening.
"Uncle Fu, good morning." Chu Xiu greeted with a smile.
"Um... my name is Xia Liujin." The doorman said hesitantly.
"Uncle Jin, good morning." Chu Xiu immediately changed his words, with the smile still on his face.
"Master Ciao, come in quickly."
"Hey, okay."
Arriving at the outer courtyard of Xia Mansion, Chu Xiu stopped.
In the courtyard, there was a white-haired figure sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground.
"Senior Qin." Chu Xiu called out respectfully.
The figure sweeping the floor was the old man named Qin who came from the back hill of Zhuque Academy.
He once taught the Zuo Chong stick technique and helped Chu Xiu stop the pursuers of the Daqian royal family. Now he stayed in the Xia Mansion and became Xia Qingshan's godfather.
The old man surnamed Qin was still sweeping the floor, "You have a lot of troubles."
Chu Xiu scratched his head, "Have you heard everything?"
"Not decisive enough." The old man surnamed Qin said, "If you always have this temper, you will have a steady stream of troubles in the future."
"Junior thinks that junior is decisive enough." Chu Xiu sighed.
The old man surnamed Qin said: "If you are decisive enough, you should flood the entire Lingshan Temple with water, or use the blood of the Flame Demon in your gourd to burn the entire Lingshan Temple.
Now, if you say a few words to Huitong and then go back home, how can they really be afraid of you?
As long as Huitong is there and Yichen's kindness to you is there, they will only get worse. "
Chu Xiu was silent for a moment.
In fact, the main reason why he did not take action was that Lingshan Temple participated in this matter in a 'stand by' manner.
"Men should behave in a domineering manner." The old man surnamed Qin glanced at Chu Xiu, "Generally, the older you get, the less courageous you are. It's better for you. You are so young, you are so timid, like a girl."
Chu Xiu's face turned a little dark, and he said in a low voice: "Not long ago, this junior killed his patron in front of Emperor Beiliang and made him kneel down. Isn't that domineering enough?"
"If you are really domineering enough, you should depose the Northern Liang Emperor and choose a new king for the Northern Liang Kingdom as the thirteenth gentleman of Suzaku Academy."
Chu Xiu was speechless for a moment.
This is indeed more domineering.
However, if he really did that, Queen Anlan would probably never bet with him again.
"You still have a chance." The old man surnamed Qin said leisurely. He put down his broom, walked to the big willow tree on the east side of the courtyard, sat on the rocking chair, lifted the wine gourd beside him, and took a sip.
Chu Xiu came to the big willow tree and humbly asked for advice: "Please also ask the seniors to teach the juniors."
The old man surnamed Qin hummed and said, "Do you want to ask for advice, or do you want me to take the blame for you, old man?"
Chu Xiu grinned, "Senior is joking. No matter what happens to junior's own affairs, senior will never be able to find you to take the blame."
The old man surnamed Qin sneered and said calmly: "Taoist Langtian has a wrong mind. If your friend surnamed Gu keeps hanging out with him, he will suffer from it in the future."
"With your experience and wisdom, senior, you will definitely be able to help this junior come up with a way to get the best of both worlds." Chu Xiu looked at the old man surnamed Qin eagerly, "It can not only kill Taoist Langtian, but also make Lao Gu not complain about me at all. .”
"Once a master, always a father." The old man surnamed Qin hummed, "If you kill his master, it is equivalent to killing his father. Do you still want to take away the revenge of your father's murder?"
Chu Xiu's face fell a little.
The old man surnamed Qin suddenly changed the topic, "If you can prove that there is a blood feud between Taoist Langtian and your friend surnamed Gu, maybe you can really get rid of it."
"A blood feud?" Chu Xiu's eyes lit up, "Is this possible?"
"It's basically impossible." The old man surnamed Qin said leisurely.
Chu Xiu's face turned dark. It's impossible. You're talking nonsense.
The old man surnamed Qin was very perceptive and immediately stared at Chu Xiu, "You are scolding me."
Chu Xiu's heart skipped a beat and he immediately shook his head, "How is that possible? My admiration for my seniors is like the water of the Tianhe River, flowing endlessly."
"Boy, cheer up." The old man surnamed Qin looked at Chu Xiu with a rare serious expression on his face, "If you continue to stick to such trivial matters, you will really live up to Master's expectations of you."
Chu Xiu was startled and asked, "What does Master expect from me?"
"Beyond him." The old man surnamed Qin said concisely and to the point.
Chu Xiu's eyes moved slightly and he said: "I am stronger than him in every realm. It should only be a matter of time before I surpass him in the future."
"It's not just about strength." The old man surnamed Qin said calmly.
"Achievement?" Chu Xiu whispered, helplessly, "I'm afraid it will be difficult in this regard. He established the Suzaku Academy and suppressed nineteen states in the world for nearly two thousand years.
The most I can do is revive the prestige of Suzaku Academy and surpass him as the founder. Isn’t it very big? "
The old man surnamed Qin said softly: "Suppressing the Nineteen States was never the purpose of establishing Zhuque Academy."
Chu Xiu looked at the old man named Qin, waiting for the next words, and vaguely guessed that the next words of this senior Qin might be related to the twelve dangerous places.
"Master's real purpose in establishing the Vermillion Bird Academy was to unite people's hearts." The old man surnamed Qin said, "You should know that Master comes from the other side of the world."
Chu Xiu nodded slightly and said softly: "After Master ascended to heaven and left, many people guessed it."
"You should know that that is not the only world outside the Nineteen States." The old man surnamed Qin said softly.
Chu Xiu nodded and said: "A few days ago, I passed through the poisonous miasma pit at the bottom of Qingming Abyss and arrived at another world. There is a vast golden ocean over there. I also met a strong man who claimed to be Taoist Tongtian. By……"
The old man surnamed Qin was surprised and stared at Chu Xiu with a strange look in his eyes, "Who gave you the courage to go outside the territory at such a young age?"
Chu Xiu laughed dryly and muttered: "I was a little hot-headed at the time, and I was deceived by a woman."
The old man surnamed Qin: "..."
He shook his head and said softly: "You are not the only disciple from the Back Mountain who has been outside the territory."
"Guessed it." Chu Xiu shrugged. He only figured it out recently.
Master Chen Changsheng's treatment of his disciples is actually very good. Letting the disciples of all generations guard those twelve dangerous places may not only be a task, but also an adventure.
