Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

Seeing that the face of the housekeeper Zhou was full of disbelief, the visitor quickly took out the flying book from his sleeve and presented it to him, letting him know that he was not talking nonsense, and said: "Miss Zijuan's handwriting."

The housekeeper Zhou first glanced at Zhou Qing, who was sitting on a chair and sipping tea quietly. The other party seemed to have heard nothing. His white jade-like hands held the green tea cup, and the fragrance was curling, blurring his face. There was a calm and calm aura.

He pondered for a moment, raised his hand to take the flying book, and after opening it, a faint fragrance overflowed, like the plum blossoms in the mountains, elegant and quiet, but for some reason, it was mixed with a touch of blood, and the plum fragrance could not cover it.

Was Zijuan, who wrote the letter, injured and bleeding? The expression of the housekeeper Zhou became solemn. He lowered his head. There were not many words on the flying book, but he read it over and over again. After reading for a quarter of an hour, he stopped, waved his hand, and drove the young man who came to deliver the flying book out.

In the living room, only the housekeeper Zhou and Zhou Qing were left, and there were countless cold lights coming in from outside.

The housekeeper threw the flying book on the table and said, "Young Master Qing is really amazing."

"Housekeeper."

Zhou Qing raised his head, and some light from the window illuminated the surroundings, making his eyes look particularly deep. He said, "Zhang Chong was entrusted by someone to disturb my practice. Fortunately, I was lucky. I broke through when I encountered difficulties. Then I returned the favor."

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "But housekeeper, don't worry. I have just entered the realm of marrow washing. It is impossible for me to really hurt Master Zhang."

Hurting people did break the rules of Shuixiang Xiaozhu. But Zhang Chong broke it first, and he fought back in self-defense.

Thinking of Zhang Chong's character, the housekeeper Zhou frowned, looked at Zhou Qing, and said sincerely: "Master Qing, I will investigate this matter and ask my master to make a decision."

"It seems that I can't leave tonight."

Zhou Qing knew this well. He smiled, knocked on the table with his hand, and said: "It's worth it to drink a few more cups of good tea from the housekeeper."

Seeing that Zhou Qing was not angry because he kept him, but was in the mood to make a joke, the haze in the housekeeper Zhou's heart disappeared a little, and he smiled: "Master Qing wants to drink it, I will ask someone to send a few more packs to your house later."

After saying a few more words, the housekeeper Zhou called two maids and asked them to serve Zhou Qing, and then hurried out of the mansion and went to work.

Zhou Qing asked someone to wait outside. He sat alone in the living room. The cold color was cast in all around, reflecting on the ground, shooting up and down, and becoming more and more cold.

He turned his eyes and thought about things.

After the marrow washing, his status in the clan was improved. It was time to make friends and manage power. Qingyun Garden was one of the targets.

The way to manage is not only to start from small things, but also to be patient.

Zhou Qing sat alone under the moonlight all night, thinking about it. Until the next morning, someone came and brought a message from the housekeeper Zhou: Qingyun Layman wants to see you.

"Let's go."

Zhou Qing followed the messenger, left the housekeeper's mansion, walked on the stone road, crossed the rainbow bridge, and saw a big lake after an unknown time. From a distance, the autumn colors filled the water and sparkled. There was a wooden corridor in the middle, winding and twisting. In the center of the lake was a carefully built octagonal copper pavilion, on which squatted a strange beast, swallowing sunlight and whistling.

Zhou Qing walked along the corridor and came to the pavilion in the center of the lake. He saw Qingyun Layman Zhou Xian, whom he had met once, sitting on the cloud couch, with the housekeeper serving on one side.

"Here we come."

Qingyun Layman's eyes moved, and above the top of the door, a brilliant treasure light shone, as big as a coin, shining brightly, filling the inside and outside of the pavilion with an extraordinary color. He said: "Zhang Chong was indeed the first to offend in Shuixiang Xiaozhu. Don't worry, he broke the rules, even if I am his uncle, I will punish him severely."

The tone was calm, without ups and downs, and no joy or anger could be heard.

Zhou Qing glanced at the butler. With the other party's means, he might have already investigated the matter clearly. Whether it was what happened in Shuixiang Xiaozhu that day, or the shadow behind this matter.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing's expression straightened, and he said loudly: "Zhang Chong was also impulsive, and it's over. But the person who instigated discord behind the scenes is really hateful."

Hearing Zhou Qing say this, a strange color flashed in the eyes of the butler. He was worried that Zhou Qing was right and insisted on an explanation, which would easily cause trouble.

After all, his master, Qingyun, is very strict about rules. Zhang Chong broke the rules and there are outsiders watching, so he must punish him. But he and the eldest lady have always been respectful to each other, and Zhang Chong is the eldest lady's favorite nephew. It would be difficult for the lady to explain to Zhang Chong if he was punished for such a small matter.

If he didn't punish him, it wouldn't work; if he punished him severely, the lady might be unhappy, which was a bit of a dilemma.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qing, at such a young age, was so tactful and resolved the dilemma. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then quickly said, "Master Qing is right. Young people are full of energy and conflicts are understandable."

"There is a saying that goes, 'You don't know each other without fighting.' When Master Chong's injury is healed, let him apologize to Master Qing, and forget the grudges with a smile."

"Both of them are excellent. They will learn from each other and make progress together. When they both have achievements in the future, the matter of Shuixiang Xiaozhu may become a good story."

Zhou Qing looked at the butler several times in succession. No wonder this man was trusted by Qingyun Jushi. He was really eloquent and unconvincing.

I let Zhang Chong off lightly. First, after the incident of Shuixiang Xiaozhu, the gap between Zhang Chong and myself would only get wider and wider. If I wanted, I would have plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future, so there was no need to rush. Second, I took into account Qingyun Jushi in front of me.

If I really insist on being right and ask Qingyun Jushi to deal with Zhang Chong, even if Qingyun Jushi does it today, he will still be unhappy. After all, no matter how bad Zhang Chong is, he is still Qingyun Jushi's nephew, and the two of them are still connected.

In this case, it is better to be generous, go with the flow, and do Qingyun Jushi a favor.

What's more, I also pointed out the person who made trouble behind the scenes, so that Qingyun Jushi will have more dislike for the other party.

This kind of likes and dislikes may be insignificant and useless at ordinary times, but when something happens, it may be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Zhou Xian sat on the cloud couch, his expression fluctuated, but the light on the top door looked brighter and brighter. He did not speak for the time being, just squinting quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhou Qing smiled in his heart. This was still a matter of status. So he took the initiative to speak again and said, "Layman, I had tea with Zhou Daguanshi at his house last night and had a good chat. I know that he is your right-hand man and is familiar with all matters of the clan."

"After I was promoted to the marrow cleansing stage, I wanted to pass the clan's big test as soon as possible. But I have always practiced behind closed doors and don't know the details of the big test. I wonder if you can allow Daguanshi to take a few days off and let him help me?"

This ladder was handed over, and it would be embarrassing not to take it. Daguanshi Zhou compared the two young men, Zhang Chong and Zhou Qing, in his heart. The gap was really too big.

Zhou Qing was so tactful, and his master would definitely not be stingy.

Zhou Xian stared at Zhou Qing for a while, which was rare, and suddenly smiled, then told Zhou Heng: "From now on, you are responsible for the grand examination of Zhou Qing's clan. Do your best. If there is any mistake, you will be held responsible."

When the butler Zhou Heng heard this, his face was solemn, and he said: "This old servant will do his best."

"Later, go get another gourd of Xuanyu Shouzheng Pills and give it to Zhou Qing."
