Chapter 2572 Zhujiazhuang
Under the firelight of the lantern, about a few feet away from Xiao Hua, a simple barrier made of stones and sacks stood there, behind the barrier was a deep pit, several people in strong clothes The man jumped out of the deep pit with a steel knife and other weapons in his hand and a lantern in his hand, and walked towards Xiao Hua very vigilantly. ≧ Vertex Fiction,
"Poverty Dao Xiao Hua, Taoist name Daoist Xiao!" Xiao Hua didn't ignore these secular servants like ordinary monks, and went straight to release his spiritual thoughts to lure Zhu Cheng out, but gave his surname faintly.
"You...you are Daoist Xiao??" These men had obviously heard of Xiao Hua's name, and when they heard Xiao Hua's name and surname, they were startled, and they raised the lantern slightly, wanting to see clearly.
"Ghost!!" Before these men saw Xiao Hua's appearance, the old man next to Xiao Hua first yelled and collapsed on the ground.
"Ghost?" The old man collapsed, how could all the servants care about seeing Xiao Hua's appearance? They all yelled, or threw the lanterns on the ground, retreated in panic, or brandished steel knives in order to defend.
"Hmph..." Xiao Hua snorted coldly, "This is just the old man's illusion technique, where did the ghost come from?"
With a flick of Xiao Hua's hand, a fireball flew into the air, clearly illuminating a radius of tens of feet.
"Oh, it really is Master Xiao."
"It's Reverend Xiao, the young one is at the young master's place, and I have seen a portrait of Reverend Xiao!"
"The little one even kowtowed in front of the portrait of a real person!"
Several servants shouted at once, but no one dared to go forward. And although the old man knew that this was Xiao Hua's illusion technique, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, how could he stand up?
"Who is here... Oh, this... Isn't this Xiao Daoist?" Just as he was speaking, an old man in brocade clothes who was over forty years old flew from the dark place of Zhujiazhuang, and the old man saw Xiao Hua as soon as he saw it. Immediately shouted in surprise, his figure fell in front of Xiao Hua, bowed and said, "I've seen Mr. Benefactor by Zhu Changxing."
Xiao Hua has long seen the appearance of this old man, he should be one of the disciples of the Zhu family who he rescued from the prison of the Copper Pillar Kingdom more than 20 years ago. At this time, he smiled and helped Zhu Changxing up and said, "Get up, is Zhu Cheng in the village?"
"The Patriarch of my family is in the villa!" Zhu Changxing said happily when he got up. "If the old man knows that the real person is visiting, he will definitely... ouch, the real person will wait a moment, I will invite the Patriarch to come out to greet him!"
"No need..." Xiao Hua just wanted to stop it, but Zhu Changxing waved his hand a long time ago, and a pair of iridescent two-color True Qi flew into the air, turned into a rainbow bridge and landed in the villa.
"Om..." As Hongqiao falls,
There was a slight roar coming from the villa, but a scroll holding several Confucian scholars flew out. Several clear-eyed lights swept across Xiao Hua and the others, and then fell on Xiao Hua's face, and a familiar voice from Xiao Hua exclaimed in front of his head, "Xiao... Daoist Xiao!!!"
"Hehe, Mr. Zhu, I haven't seen you for nearly twenty years in a flash, you still have the same demeanor!" Xiao Hua walked a few steps with a smile, and greeted with cupped hands.
The current person is naturally Zhu Cheng. It's just that Zhu Cheng looks a little old at this time, far from being a master of Confucianism who refines Qi and restores gods.
"Xiao Zhenzhen is the one among gods!" Zhu Cheng urged the scroll. Leading everyone down, he was about to bow down after walking a few steps, and said, "I often think of the real person, but I never thought that the real person would come here today, let alone that the real person's appearance has not changed at all."
How could Xiao Hua make Zhu Cheng bow down. Hastily helped up, and Xiao Hua helped up all the people who were going to bow down after Zhu Cheng, Xiao Hua smiled again: "The old man also passed by here because of some difficult things, and thought of the previous things, so I came here to see Mr. Zhu."
"Don't dare. Don't dare. The real person can just call him Zhu Cheng. Zhu can't bear this title in front of the real person." Zhu Cheng waved his hands hastily.
"Then call Zhu Xianyou!" Xiao Hua said with a smile.
"But listen to the real man!" Zhu Cheng laughed hurriedly, looked at the old man in the ground, and the donkey cart and children behind Xiao Hua, and asked again, "What's the trouble with the real man? I don't know if Zhu can help ?”
"Hehe, I want to ask you, does your Zhujiazhuang have You Zhongquan visiting from Yifeng Kingdom in Yuzhou?" Xiao Hua asked with a smile.
"Yuzhou? You Zhongquan??" Zhu Cheng frowned, shaking his head slightly, "Zhu has never known this fairy friend before, who did the real person hear about?"
"Where's Zhu Xiang? This You Zhongquan is similar to Zhu Xiang's age!" Xiao Hua explained.
"Xiang'er is studying and meditating hard in the study! Zhu has never heard of anyone visiting him!" Zhu Cheng even shook his head.
At this time, an old man behind Zhu Cheng hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Brother, Xiang'er..."
"What's wrong with him?" Zhu Cheng was startled, turned his head and said, "Isn't he in the study?"
"Xiang'er should be in the study of Qilanyuan, but, just as Master Xiao said, he did invite some old acquaintances to come to my Zhujiazhuang..."
"This damn rebellious son..." Zhu Cheng was a little furious when he heard it, but seeing Xiao Hua suppressed his anger again, he said in a low voice, "Let the real person see the joke. The dog is not good, and invited friends behind Zhu's back, the real person The so-called You Zhongquan is probably among them."
Seeing Zhu Cheng's appearance, Xiao Hua immediately understood how Zhu Xiang's indecisive character was formed. However, he couldn't say much, and said with a smile: "I also ask this Zhu Xianyou to help Xiao confirm."
"Okay, real man, wait a moment, come down!" The old man behind Zhu Cheng agreed, urging his figure to fly up into the air and fall into Zhu's manor. Zhu Cheng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask something, and then closed it again. . Xiao Hua looked at these thoughtfully, in fact, if he didn't care about Zhu Cheng's face, why wouldn't he see it with his divine sense? But since the people of the Zhu family don't use the technique of divine consciousness to send messages, there's no telling what's wrong with it, Xiao Hua is also happy to go along with it.
"And..." Xiao Hua pointed to the old man beside him, and explained, "This is what Xiao met when he passed by Wuyuan County. Xiao didn't know his name or surname, but he looked pitiful, so I asked Zhu Xianyou to take him in." one time."
"Of course, of course!" For Xiao Hua's compassion, Zhu Cheng was really touched, he didn't think it was strange at all, and hurriedly replied, "This is just a little effort for Zhu, it's nothing."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhu, thank you, Master Xiao..." The old man was finally able to stand up at this moment, and hurriedly wanted to kowtow again.
Xiao Hua helped the old man up with a smile and said: "Don't you say Xiao is a ghost now?"
While speaking, Xiao Hua paid a little attention to Zhu Cheng's expression, and sure enough, Zhu Cheng's eyebrows twitched, and panic flashed in his eyes.
"Don't dare, dare not! It's all small vertigo..." The old man bowed to Xiao Hua and said with a smile.
"Hey, where did you get the grain?" At this time, Zhu Cheng's eyes fell on the donkey cart behind Xiao Hua, and asked in surprise looking at some grain seeds beside the child.
When the old man saw the grain on the cart, he thought of the grain left by the side of the road before, and said with regret: "This is all given by Master Xiao! Just now Master Xiao spread a lot in Wuyuan County!"
"Master Xiao..." Zhu Cheng turned his head to look at Xiao Hua, and asked cautiously, "How much food...the Master still has?"
"Hehe, Xiao Mou came to Zhujiazhuang from afar, and he hasn't had a sip of hot tea..." Xiao Hua said with a smile.
Zhu Cheng blushed slightly, bowed hastily and said, "It's all my fault, Master Xiao, please..."
"Okay!" Xiao Hua nodded, "Friend Zhu Xian leads the way!"
Zhu Cheng gave birth to a light cloud, and led Xiao Hua, surrounded by a group of Zhu family disciples behind him, into the Zhu family manor. As for the old man who didn't name him at the end, he was also brought by two servants on duty, and drove his The broken donkey cart entered Zhujiazhuang, presumably with the protection of the Zhu family, he will not worry about making a living in the future.
The entire Zhujiazhuang is not protected by the Yuan Formation, and it is no different from ordinary farms. Xiao Hua followed Zhu Cheng down, and it was just a welcoming hall. The hall is quite simple, except for a few tables and chairs, there are some flowers and trees, and there is no other decoration. At the top of the hall, there is a portrait hanging on the wall. The scroll of the portrait looks old, but it is spotless and clean, faintly, a layer of extremely dim precious light emanates from the portrait.
Xiao Hua's eyes fell on the portrait, looking at the old man in Confucian costume and Confucian crown on the portrait with a serene expression and clear eyes, as if everything in the world is clear to him. I already understood in my heart that this must be Zhu Xi, the famous Confucianist in the ancestors of the Zhu family. So Xiao Hua, without waiting for Zhu Cheng to say more, stepped forward and bowed and said: "Junior Xiao Hua, I have seen old Zhu Xi Zhu in the air."
Zhu Cheng and other disciples of the Zhu family showed relief on their faces, and hurriedly straightened their clothes, stepped aside, bowed back and said, "Thank you, Daoist Xiao..."
After seeing the ceremony, Zhu Cheng asked Xiao Hua to sit at the guest seat of the table under the portrait, and he accompanied him on the other side. When someone brought fragrant tea, Zhu Cheng poured it for Xiao Hua himself, and said with a smile: "Master Xiao He is a Taoist senior. He usually drinks spirit tea. There is no good tea here. This is the scented tea that I personally went to Maocheng Mountain to pick and roast last year. Daughter's tea, but it's better than being prepared by my Confucianism cultivator's true energy, so real people can taste it."
Xiao Hua raised his glass with a smile, and took a sip, but he felt a kind of bitterness in his heart, and this bitterness did not turn into sweetness like spiritual tea, and the tea fell into his stomach, and did not turn into any true energy, I know it is exactly as Zhu Cheng said. But just when Xiao Hua wanted to put down the fragrant tea, his heart moved again, and he took another sip, but felt that some levels were slightly released from the bitterness on the tip of his tongue, and after a little taste, he actually felt a bit mixed. He took another sip, allowing the tea to overflow in his mouth for a moment before swallowing it into his stomach.
"Good!" Xiao Hua put down his teacup and praised, "The way of Confucianism is the most important thing to be tempered in the world. If you don't experience all kinds of things in the world, you don't learn the truth from the five flavors of the world, and you don't know the essence of awe-inspiring aura. You can taste so much from a bowl of tea, Old Sage Zhu is really amazing.” (Want to know more exciting news about "Cultivation of the Gods"?
