Chapter VI: Deliberation
Zhang Zhiping has been a human being for two lifetimes, and he is in his forties combined, so he naturally won't babble like a hairy boy, not to mention that he has studied and cultivated his temperament over the years, and he has a bearing in his heart, no matter what he does, he can do it without hurry or slow, and he is in an orderly manner.
At this time, Zhang Zhizhong looked at Zhang Zhiping carefully, looking at him Although his expression was indifferent, the firmness revealed in his eyes seemed as if even the sword mountain and the sea of fire could not prevent him from reaching his goal, he pondered for a long time, and said solemnly: "Zhiping, are you really determined to cultivate immortals?"
Zhang Zhiping nodded without hesitation.
At this time, Zhang Zhizhong's voice became gentle, and said: "Zhiping, what's so good about cultivating immortals, you stay in the mansion, fine clothes and jade food, delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, have a beautiful wife and beautiful maids to serve, plus your talents, it is very likely that you want to be a marquis and worship the general, isn't this good?"
Zhang Zhiping didn't speak, but it could be seen that he was not the slightest moved by what Zhang Zhizhong said
Zhang Zhizhong suddenly became angry again, and said sharply: "It is rumored that on the road to cultivating immortals, there are mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, full of white bones, there is no beautiful wife and beautiful maid, there is no delicacies of the mountains and seas, so you can only go alone and alone, and I don't know when you will be killed by the rest of the immortal cultivators, is it worth it?!"
Zhang Zhiping was not intimidated by Zhang Zhizhong's description, and nodded unwaveringly.
Zhang Zhizhong didn't speak, his expression was solemn, his eyes were staring at Zhang Zhiping, and Zhang Zhiping was not afraid to look at his father. Zhang Zhizhong is undoubtedly a master of teasing people's hearts, just with his description, Zhang Zhiping also emerged all kinds of scenes, on the one hand, he stayed at home, a leisurely and fulfilling life every day, surrounded by countless beauties, and on the other side was just a long road with no end in sight, with mountains of corpses and a sea of blood on both sides, and the wind roared. Heaven on one side, hell on the other, countless scenes flashed in his mind, but in the end, the endless darkness swallowed everything, Zhang Zhiping was shocked in his heart, once again firm his goal, and said categorically: "I want to cultivate immortals!"
Zhang Zhizhong listened to Zhang Zhiping's sonorous and powerful words, and suddenly laughed, and actually laughed for a long time. Zhang Zhiping was not happy about his father's change, but raised his head and looked ahead with a firm expression, Zhang Zhizhong was even more satisfied when he saw this, and said to Zhang Zhiping with a big smile: "Okay! Okay! Okay! If you have this awareness, what else can't you do?"
Zhang Zhizhong continued: "You are my son, now that you have your own goals, I will do my best to help you achieve your wishes." ”
"Yes, San'er, when you grow up, just do what you want to do, don't worry about the family, your two brothers will take care of us!" I don't know when, Zhang Zhiping's mother Han Yun came to the study and quietly listened to the conversation between father and son. She is a virtuous but strong woman who can never interfere in the decisions made by men, but silently helps them take care of their family affairs and does not let them have worries. She is also full of trust in her children, and she firmly believes that her children will definitely embark on the right path and go further and further on this path.
Zhang Zhiping looked at the two old men who were looking at him with relief, and couldn't help but redden, for many years, it was these two people who have unreservedly supported him, so that he could earnestly complete his plan and move forward step by step towards the goal, even if this matter involves the legendary immortal cultivators, they don't consider the dangers and difficulties involved, they just want to help the good child with all their might.
Zhang Zhiping didn't say much, immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times, and for a moment in his heart wanted to give up seeking immortals, so he stayed at home to serve the old man. But this thought was quickly swallowed up by the darkness, he knew that happiness is always short-lived, and the immortals have the ability to retain this happiness, so he didn't say any more sensational words, but engraved the appearance of these two people deeply in his heart.
"Good boy, good boy. Zhang Zhizhong and Han Yun hurriedly helped Zhang Zhiping up, and the three of them comforted each other, full of warmth to each other. After a while, everyone settled down, and Zhang Zhizhong began to tell everything he knew about immortal cultivators.
He knew that there were not many things about immortal cultivators, and the most profound one was the change of dynasty in the Zhou Kingdom. This matter has only been more than a hundred years ago, and he can be sure that there must be immortal cultivators in the royal family, and even the royal Zhou family itself is likely to be a family of immortal cultivators. And here, the largest sect of cultivating immortals is called Qingsongmen, which is the worship of immortal masters in the imperial court.
Zhang Zhizhong continued to say that these immortal cultivators are not as desireless as the rumored ones, because over the years, he has heard many times that immortal cultivators have helped solve the problems of the imperial court, because of the help of these immortal cultivators, the Zhou Dynasty has a lot of energy to develop state affairs, making the country's national strength stronger and stronger over the years. And after each completion of the task, the immortal cultivator will also get a large number of medicinal materials, ores and other natural treasures, which shows that the immortal cultivator also has a lot of needs.
Zhang Zhiping thought for a while about his father's words, immortal cultivators are inevitable, in the film and television dramas of the previous life, the Xianmen sect has opened the door to accept apprentices, if he can also worship in the Qingsong Gate like this, it would be better. So Zhang Zhiping asked, "Father, have you heard about the Qingsong Gate opening to accept apprentices?"
Zhang Zhizhong slowly recalled and said: "Qingsong Gate opens the door to accept apprentices? Zhang Zhiping couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard this, could it be that Qingsongmen does not accept foreign disciples? At this time, Zhang Zhizhong continued: "However, my father has heard of the inexplicable disappearance of some young Junjie, and the imperial court does not investigate this, but sends people to arrange their family affairs properly. ”
Zhang Zhiping was overjoyed when he heard this, it seems that immortal cultivators really have great power in the world, and they also pay attention to geniuses among mortals, and now they have a small reputation, so will there be immortal cultivators to contact him? He is not sure, but he will not pin his hopes on this kind of illusory thing, now that there is an immortal cultivator in front of him, it is better to seize this opportunity firmly.
Zhang Zhizhong also let go of this matter, and led the words to this adult who was about to visit: "The name of this adult who came to Eagle's Beak Mountain is Li Zhenchang, who belongs to the Imperial Court Worship Pavilion, and this person did not live in the Zhou Kingdom before, but came to the Zhou Kingdom from Qingsongmen with Yunming Daochang, and it has only been eight years. It is rumored that Li Daochang is benevolent, and if he can worship this person, it will be a good thing. ”
Zhang Zhizhong pondered for a moment and continued: "My father heard that immortal cultivation requires qualifications, and as long as you get close to immortal cultivators, you will be discovered. As a father, I don't know what your qualifications are, whether you can cultivate immortals. ”
Zhang Zhizhong paused when he said this, and made up his mind: "Being a father can't affect immortal cultivators, but I will definitely create the most suitable opportunity for you! Today, I will go out of the city to visit Daochang Li, and you will accompany you as a small servant." If you have the qualifications to cultivate immortals, Li Daochang will naturally find out, and then you will identify yourself, and I will beg the Taoist to accept you as an apprentice; if you don't have that qualification, you will come back with me, embark on your career safely and steadily, and pay homage to the generals, and leave your name in history.
Zhang Zhiping thought about it for a while, and had to say that this was the best way at present, but he did not agree with Zhang Zhizhong's words of giving up, and responded: "Father, if the child does not have that qualification, and Li Daochang is unwilling to accept me as an apprentice, then I don't want to return home." Now that the child has achieved success in literature, martial arts, and medical skills, it will only be a waste of time to continue to stay in Feishi County, so when the time comes, I will go directly to travel the rivers and lakes, looking for immortal fate, and I believe that there is no endless road to heaven, and I will definitely be able to become an immortal cultivator!"
Zhang Zhizhong couldn't help but sigh when he heard Zhang Zhiping's words, knowing that his heart had already flown outside, and it was difficult to come back. And Han Yun couldn't help but shed tears when she heard this, Zhang Zhiping was only twelve years old, she was pampered since she was a child, and now she is going to wander alone outside, how can she not worry?
The three of them decided and began to prepare. Zhang Zhiping didn't have anything too valuable, and he had been preparing for his trip a long time ago, clothes, food, simple medicines, and a long sword and dagger were always in a box. He asked Shi Li early on about a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, as long as he had a goal, he could set off at any time. Then he called his little servant Fugui, bodyguard Shi Li, and maid Caiyun, and told him that if he was not there tomorrow, he would report to the housekeeper, and his mother would make arrangements······ After dealing with a series of trivial matters, it was time to set off.
