Yu family, waiting in the living room.
Facing a table full of delicacies, including some dishes whose names he couldn't even name, Zhao Jiuge, despite his strong physique and already hungry, still had a cold expression on his face and continued to eat by himself.
At the table, Yu Qingshan, his wife and three children all watched Zhao Jiuge eating eagerly with their eyes open, not daring to move their chopsticks and having to laugh beside them.
Perhaps he couldn't stand the looks of the people next to him. While chewing the food in his mouth, Zhao Jiuge glanced at Yu Qingshan lightly and said vaguely, "We'll go there early tomorrow morning. I can't wait to see it." Something is causing trouble."
Seeing Zhao Jiuge's fiery eyes, ready to move, Yu Qingshan was relieved in his heart. Don't look at the children who looked down on Zhao Jiuge's age and doubted whether he had real ability. Although he was calm on the surface, he was still calm in his heart. Also a little confused.
Now seeing Zhao Jiuge like this, he must have some real ability.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on Yu Qingshan's face overflowed, but soon his expression became a little ugly. It wasn't until he found Zhao Jiuge looking at him that he said coquettishly, "Well, that immortal chief today It’s getting late at night, and I’m probably tired from running around. Why don’t we take a day off tomorrow and let’s go to the countryside outside the town to explore together the day after tomorrow?”
After finishing speaking, Yu Qingshan carefully glanced at Zhao Jiuge's reaction.
"Didn't you just say that you have been worrying about this matter for several months and you still can't figure out the reason? Why are you not in a hurry to find out the reason now?" Zhao Jiuge said with some confusion.
Yu Qingshan on the side suddenly broke out in cold sweat, his face even more revealing that he was hiding something. On the other hand, Yu Qiusheng on the table lowered his head and muttered something strangely.
"Didn't it mean that the Qingfeng Temple Master is coming tomorrow?"
It was okay that Yu Qingshan's youngest son didn't speak. When he spoke, Yu Qingshan broke out in cold sweat, and his face turned pale in an instant. It turned out that Yu Qingshan, who was panicked a few months ago, had nothing to do after encountering this incident. It can be said that in the end, he had no choice but to turn to the nearby Xuantian Sword Sect. He lived in fear every day, waiting hard for someone to come and solve the problem. However, he had not been waiting for anyone for several months, and Yu Qingshan, who was suffering from the inability to solve the problem, finally had no choice but to Find a pair of master and apprentice who are traveling here.
The self-proclaimed Master of Qingfeng Temple faced Yu Qingshan's complaints and begged that he had a way to solve the problem, but before that he had to go to the nearby mountains to collect gas, and agreed to go to the Yu family's old house the day after tomorrow. Who knew that Zhao Jiuge also came at this time, and Yu Qingshan He was afraid that he would offend Xuantian Jianmen and Zhao Jiuge.
Although everyone within a thousand miles knew that Xuantian Sword Sect protected this place, they did not know the true name of Xuantian Sword Sect. Now that his youngest son had revealed it, Yu Qingshan looked at Zhao Jiuge apologetically as if he was resigned to his fate.
Facing Yu Qingshan, who was smooth and good at dealing with others, Zhao Jiuge was too lazy to say anything. Instead, he looked at Yu Qiusheng, who was about the same age as himself and was very popular with him, smiled gently, and asked softly, "Master Qingfeng Temple" who is that."
Probably he didn't expect that this little immortal who was about his own age would take the initiative to talk to him. The unhappiness of being yelled at by his father instantly disappeared. He changed his sulky expression just now, straightened his waist in a blink of an eye, and said cheerfully. , "Master Qingfeng Temple is a Taoist priest. He is really capable. I saw it with my own eyes at my house that day, and... "
The more Yu Qiusheng talked, the more excited he became, especially when he thought of the master of Qingfeng Guan's show at home that day, he couldn't hide the look of admiration in his dark eyes. However, at the end of the sentence, he seemed to remember his father's previous yelling, and immediately Closed his mouth.
Zhao Jiuge smiled lightly and said, "Isn't that right? And he's not as young as me. He looks much more reliable."
Hearing this, Yu Qiusheng was stunned at first, then scratched his head with his hand, nodded sheepishly and giggled, but Zhao Jiuge didn't care at all. At this moment, Yu Qiusheng had a great impression of this boy who was about the same age as himself.
Afterwards, among the people at the table, only the lively Yu Qiusheng kept asking about some things in Zhao Jiuge's sect, and Zhao Jiuge also answered them one by one. The two chatted happily, and Yu Qingshan and his wife, who were well versed in the world of people, occasionally chimed in. With a few words, Yu Qingshan, who was afraid of Zhao Jiuge's blame, breathed a sigh of relief again.
The eldest son Yu Chunsheng has always looked stable, while Yu Xiansheng, whose eyes seemed to be able to talk, stared at Zhao Jiuge, hesitating to speak.
After eating and drinking, Zhao Jiuge looked back at Yu Qingshan and said slowly, "I'll go the day after tomorrow. I'll go back to the teacher after the matter is settled."
Yu Qingshan smiled and nodded frequently, and said happily, "You don't know that I haven't slept well in the past few months. Now I may have a good sleep. I was afraid that those unclean things would come to my door. Now there are immortals." After growing up at home, I can finally sleep peacefully today."
After a thousand attempts, only flattery was not enough, but after hearing these words, Zhao Jiuge didn't like it from the bottom of his heart. Maybe it was because he was annoyed by Yu Qingshan's tact and shrewdness from the beginning.
After standing up, Zhao Jiuge walked slowly outside, suddenly paused, and said, "I'll just wait for a day tomorrow, and I won't be able to practice in the room." After saying that, he started to move again, and continued to say, " By the way, the day after tomorrow I will also see what kind of person Qingfeng Guanzhu is."
When Zhao Jiuge finished speaking, the atmosphere in the air suddenly tightened. Yu Qingshan and his family felt as if there were a pair of invisible hands in the air squeezing their necks so hard that they could not breathe.
When Zhao Jiuge walked out, the aura in the air dissipated, and everything returned to its original state, except that the whole family's faces were filled with shock and they stared at each other.
Thinking of the young man who was not angry and self-confident, the aura that pervaded his whole body could not be related to that gentle and easy-to-talk young man. Only then did the family realize that this young boy was not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
At this moment, Yu Qingshan is simply filled with joy and sorrow in his heart. What he is happy about is that the things that have been pressing in his heart for several months finally have a solution. The things he is worried about will either have no one to solve them, or someone will come to solve them. Come two, I'm afraid that when the two gods fight, it will eventually affect me, an ordinary person.
Returning to the room where the Yu family had arranged for him to stay, Zhao Jiuge took a casual glance and was quite satisfied. The house was clean and simple, neither luxurious nor tasteless. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Zhao Jiuge calmed down and sorted out his thoughts.
Now the specific situation of this mission is unclear, and we have to wait to find out. Moreover, there is also a Qingfeng Guanzhu popping up. Zhao Jiuge feels a little unhappy when he thinks about it. Isn't this delaying his ability to earn tribute.
At that time, we have to see what kind of cultivation master Qingfeng Temple has, and this Yu Qingshan is too smooth, Zhao Jiuge also feels a little uncomfortable thinking about it.
Taking a breath of dirty breath, Zhao Jiuge put aside the unhappiness in his heart and was about to start practicing. Suddenly there was a movement in his ears and there was a sound. He raised his head and saw a figure emerging from several mahogany side windows, moving quietly, and then He stopped in front of the window in the doorway and remained motionless.
Sensing who the visitor was, Zhao Jiuge couldn't help but smile. Among Yu Qingshan's three children, except for the eldest Yu Chunsheng, who is the most mature and the most stable and smooth like Yu Qingshan, the other two daughters and son are much more lively. .
Zhao Jiuge coughed lightly and said, "Come in when you're all here."
With a creak, the mahogany hollow-carved door slowly opened, and a pretty woman walked in. There was no trace of embarrassment or embarrassment about being caught peeping on her face. She just rolled her eyes and then smiled grandly. Still staring at Zhao Jiuge, he said, "I just came to see how you people practice and how you are different from ordinary people like us."
When he spoke, he seemed to be trying to cheer himself up and said it confidently.
Zhao Jiuge couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said angrily, "What difference can there be? It's not just two arms, two legs, two eyes and one mouth. What difference can there be? As for cultivation, it is nothing more than cultivating yourself through spiritual energy." The body, no matter how much you talk about it, you won’t understand it.”
After Zhao Jiuge finished speaking, he secretly glanced at the bulge in Yu Xiasheng's chest, and secretly said in his heart that women are really big-breasted and brainless.
Yu Xiasheng's eyes turned cleverly, "Okay, then you immortals also have to eat. Didn't I say that you don't marry and have children, don't eat the fireworks of the world, and only eat the wind and drink the dew?"
"Sister, those are monks and Taoists, okay? Buddhism and Taoism only deal with this. As for us who specialize in swordsmanship, we use swords and eat because... I am not cultivated enough to be able to live without food." Zhao Jiuge said something at the end. choke.
When Yu Xiansheng looked at Zhao Jiuge's embarrassed look, he smiled brightly, without any ladylike demeanor at all, and the bulge in his chest trembled with his smile. Zhao Jiuge couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
"It turns out that your cultivation level is not enough, so who is more powerful, you or the Master of Qingfeng Temple?" Yu Xiasheng asked Zhao Jiuge gossiping like a curious baby.
Zhao Jiuge pondered for a while before saying, "I don't know if he is better or me without seeing him, and the factions are different. Sometimes just looking at the cultivation level is useless, but I heard that I went to the mountain to collect Qi. He won’t be able to come back until the day after tomorrow. Even if his cultivation level is high, he probably won’t be much higher than me, because Taoist Qi collection is just the beginning stage, and if his cultivation level is advanced, he will probably not be able to walk in the secular world. Generally, he just starts practicing. Only then can you walk in the secular world, and then when you reach a certain stage, you won’t be able to do it anymore.”
"Haha, little brother, I'm optimistic about you. Don't lose to that Qingfeng Guanzhu then. Then you will let me down. But the old house is too scary. I don't know if you can handle it. Anyway, I I heard my dad said it was haunted." Yu Xiansheng, who started laughing first, said the word "haunted" with a look of fear on his face.
"Hmph, I won't lose. Otherwise, my trip will be in vain and I won't even get the tribute. Then I will suffer a big loss." Zhao Jiuge said.
Then he added, "If it is really haunted, then it is simple. I am afraid of any accidents. The unknown is the scariest thing."
Yu Xiansheng, who was very nervous, quickly forgot about the fear of this matter, but was surprised, "Hey, I just remembered, didn't you say that you specialize in sword training, but I saw that other people's swords are beautiful. It's so colorful, why didn't I see you?" After saying that, Yu Xia Sheng still blinked innocently.
This suddenly hit Zhao Jiuge's sore spot. He now desires to own a top-quality flying sword more than anyone else. He felt embarrassed inside, but he snorted mysteriously on the surface, "You'll find out the day after tomorrow."
Yu Xiasheng made a disdainful expression without shame, and then pestered Zhao Jiuge to ask questions. Zhao Jiuge patiently told her when he had nothing to do. In the end, the girl obviously lost interest in cultivating immortality.
Then he screamed again in surprise, and slapped his forehead with his small white hand, "Oh, it's getting late, I have to go back to the room, otherwise my mother will scold me if a man and a woman are alone in the same room in the middle of the night." of."
After saying that, he left in a hurry without even having time to say hello to Zhao Jiuge. As he left, he muttered in a low voice, what's so good about cultivating immortals? It's boring and pure.
Now it was Zhao Jiuge's turn to be shocked. What kind of character is this Yu Xiansheng? I originally thought that at the table, only Yu Qiusheng was the most lively and talkative. Yu Xiansheng, who said nothing, seemed quite stable. How could he know that now he looks like the most lively one? This Yu Xiansheng is even more talkative.
As Yu Xiansheng left, the room quickly became quiet. Thinking back to what Yu Xiansheng said just now, Zhao Jiuge smiled self-deprecatingly and started talking to himself.
"Yeah, what's so good about cultivating immortals? You waste a lot of time on cultivation, just to improve your cultivation and gain hundreds of years of life. This cycle continues until one day you stop on this road, and with the longevity Come, die peacefully. In the end, you will be happy in vain, you will not become an immortal, you will not live forever, everything is like fetching water from a bamboo basket, but in vain. "
"It turns out that the authorities are obsessed with it. I thought that everyone in the world was eager to embark on this road and be as happy as myself. But when I met Yu Xia Sheng's words today, I realized that when those so-called monks look down on mortals, ordinary people also look down on them. Not living the so-called fairy life."
