However, it is difficult to find foundation-building spiritual objects in the lower realm. If Zhou Pianran wants to build a foundation, he will have to return to Hengyun to search for them.
After all, she had practiced in Hengyun for many years. Zhou Pianran took the book and took a look at it. She immediately knew that such a change would be of great help to her. She had no idea about the realm of foundation building now, but if she could use it to improve her skills, With different cultivation levels, he can also take care of the Zhou family for a few more years, allowing them to gain a firm foothold in the Da Li Dynasty. In the next few decades, if there is another descendant with spiritual roots, she will have nothing to worry about.
Before going to the lower realm, senior sister Hu Wanzhi was worried that it would be detrimental to Zhou Pianran's family after the destruction of Lingzhen, so she reminded her to prepare a lot of elixirs and spiritual objects for use in the lower realm. Among them is a spirit-swallowing silver fish, which can test whether ordinary people have spiritual roots.
It's a pity that the Zhou family is declining day by day, and there is no other spiritual root monk besides her. Zhou Pianran can only ask the clan members to practice some scriptures on self-cultivation in order to live longer and avoid disasters.
Over time, the reputation gradually spread outside the clan, attracting many noble families to come here for his fame, making the Zhou family quite famous in Duanchu Prefecture.
The spirit-swallowing whitebait was kept in the room, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep in the jade basin. Zhao Wan saw that it was interesting, so he stretched out his fingers to play with it, but the whitebait seemed to be frightened and swung away to a distance, and he was very wary of this. .
Her eyes dimmed, and she suddenly remembered that when she was measuring the fate of immortality, the silver fish in the basin also had some strange shapes, but now it is much more obvious.
Zhao Chun said nothing, silently retracting his fingers, and then listened to Zhou Pianran say: "Feihu and Hengyun have been traveling steadily in recent years. Senior sister Wanzhi is always concerned about me. Every year at the end of the year, she will send a lot of things. She asked the disciples of Shengtuo Celestial Palace to bring it to her. She also said in the letter that her life in the Celestial Palace these years was quite comfortable.
"It's a pity that I never heard about Senior Sister Lian Jing. I don't know where she is now."
When the Renyang Sect was branded as Lingzhen, Zhou Pianran and Hu Wanzhi were rescued by the Venerable and placed in the Shengtuotian Palace with the other disciples. However, Lian Jing did not want to be under the influence of others and asked to leave to become a casual cultivator.
Zhao Shun was deeply saddened by this. After entering the realm, he should go visit his old friends, but Lian Jing's whereabouts would have to be found elsewhere.
She comforted Zhou Pianran for a few words, and after he calmed down, she asked Zheng Jiaoxi about it.
As she thought, Zhou Pianran was indeed the person who sent warriors from the capital to rescue Zheng Jiaoxi. However, Zheng Jiaoxi only stayed at Zhou's house for half a year before requesting to leave. Now he is independent in Duanchu Prefecture. Menmen, together with a group of warriors who fled here, set up a charity hall to help women, children and the elderly. The Zhou family occasionally provided some money and food, but now they seem to have encountered some troubles and are facing the difficulty of moving out of the city.
"When Tzu Chi Hall was resettled, they bought land on North Street, which was adjacent to a family named Liu. Later, a famous Linggen monk came out of this family, and he was selected by Zhiyue Temple and sent to Hengyun to practice. Hearing that this person had good qualifications, he was accepted by the elders when he entered the sect. The disciples of the Zhiyue Sect who were sent to Feihu wanted to please him, so they took more care of his family, making the young and old in his family arrogant and arrogant.
"This time, this family wants to expand their mansion and occupy the location of the Ci Chi Hall. Your Zheng Jiaoxi refuses to comply, and the quarrel with the Liu family has become known throughout the city."
When Zhao Shun stepped out of the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Pianran's words were still lingering in his ears. No one knew better than himself what Professor Zheng's temperament was. He would rather break than bend, he was proud, and he was especially compassionate to the weak and lonely, so he could teach. Young Zhao Shun learned swordsmanship. And the Liu family wanted to seize the land without explanation. With Zheng Jiaoxi's temper, how could they get what they wanted?
It would be easy if the person behind the Liu family was just a monk in Guanzhong. Zhou Pianran could resolve the conflict with a few words of persuasion. However, the person he relied on had already entered Hengyun to practice, and was personally taught by an elder who had a promising future in the sect. Zhou Pianran's somewhat thin face was naturally not enough.
She frowned and nodded, saying that she would handle the matter by herself. Before leaving, she left some medicinal pills and spiritual materials that could be used for Qi training. She also gave Zhou Pianran three sword Qi for self-defense, although only one percent of them were hers. Although he has great strength, he can easily raze Duan Chuzhou to the ground, and the mere Shengtuo Mountain and Zhiyue Temple are naturally not a threat.
After leaving the Zhou family, she did not have the same feeling as killing Pang Zhen, which shows that the connection between Zhao Shun and Zhou Pianran is not important in this world. She has a hunch that the opportunity to complete the cause and effect of the life-breaking world lies in Tzu Chi. On the teacher Zheng of the hall!
…
When I stepped into the Tzu Chi Hall, I was greeted by arms full of green vines. Although the decoration in the courtyard was old, it was very clean. Seven or eight children in their late teens were laughing and playing. Sitting next to them were two fat men. A thin woman looked at them lovingly while washing the clothes in the basin.
When they saw Zhao Shun coming in, the eyes of the two women suddenly changed, and they cast alert and defensive glances. They quickly stood up and gathered the children in front of them before they dared to ask for the identity of the visitor.
At the same time, within the two courtyard walls, an old woman with white hair stood holding a sword. There were more than ten people standing on either side of her. At this time, their eyes were like spitting fire, and they all looked towards the kneeling person in front of them. The two women looked at him, wishing they could eat his flesh and blood to relieve the hatred in their hearts.
Placed in front of the two women was an open wooden box with a few pages of old paper fluttering inside. It was actually the land deed of the Tzu Chi Hall, and it was also an important reason why everyone had been able to resist the Liu family until now.
This morning Zheng Jiaoxi went to Shengtuo Mountain as usual to ask the immortal master to take charge of the matter. The two men wanted to steal the land deed and donate it to the Liu family while there was no one in the house. If this thing was missing, the government would Being bribed by the Liu family, more than 60 people in their Tzu Chi Hall, ranging from 80 old women to infants, will lose their only place to live!
When Zhao Xun followed others inside, the interrogation of the two men had also come to an end. Zheng Jiaoxi suddenly saw a cold light in his eyes. He swung his long sword with one hand and chopped off the heads of the two men. Two pillars of blood spurted out. It splashed out, and although everyone in the courtyard turned pale, their eyes did not move, and they snorted heavily.
Lynchings are common in the world of martial arts, and Zheng Jiaoxi is a figure who has risen from the troubled times. She knows that most of the people in Tzu Chi Hall are weak and weak. Once they lose their place of shelter, the end will be worse than death. This What the two of them did was no different than murder. Now, only by killing them as a warning can they convince the public.
She let out a long sigh, wiped away the blood on the sword, and sheathed it. He raised his eyes and saw the figure standing at the gate of the courtyard. For a moment, he felt like he was in a dream, and said in a daze: "Xun'er?"
Maybe it was because she was really old that her old eyes became dim in the blue sky, but Zhao Xun was only ten years old when she left the house. No matter how she hallucinated, she would never see the grown-up person?
Seeing that she was speechless, Zhao Chun immediately stepped forward, saluted her with a sword as before, and said, "Zheng Jiaoxi."
