Chapter V: Open and Honest Announcement
Zhang Zhiping tiptoed to the vicinity of Zhang Zhizhong's study, and found a hidden place about fifteen meters away and began to eavesdrop.
According to Zhang Zhiping's experiment, a martial artist's perception is very keen, based on the sound of a leaf falling to the ground, he can hear the sound at a distance of up to five meters in the third-rate realm, ten meters in the second-rate realm, and now the first-class realm is twenty meters. So in general, as long as you are careful to keep a good distance, it is difficult for people with low kung fu to find people with high kung fu eavesdropping on their conversations. The person with the highest kung fu on the surface of Feishi County is Qian Zhutou, a master who has reached the second-rate realm, so he can deter many gangs in Feishi County and maintain peace on the surface of Feishi County, but he is still not as good as Zhang Zhiping, and it is difficult to find Zhang Zhiping's eavesdropping.
The conversation had obviously been going on for a while, and without mentioning those trivial matters, Zhang Zhiping quickly noticed an important news.
"Doesn't that adult want to go into the city?" This was Zhang Zhizhong's voice, and Zhang Zhiping suddenly became interested in this adult.
"The adults are the best people in the world, the quality is high, the city is dirty, and they don't want to come to the county. This is the voice of Qian Catcher, hearing his words Zhang Zhiping's heart moved, this 100,000 people in Feishi County, eating and drinking Lazar every day produces countless peculiar smells, every time he goes out, he controls the internal force to close the acupoints next to his nose to reduce breathing, otherwise he will smell a foul smell. But when he was in Fuzhong, it wasn't that serious, and he usually controlled it carefully, so he didn't pay attention to this problem. Now this adult doesn't even want to enter the city, and he dislikes the filth in the city, obviously because his perception is extremely keen, which shows that his realm should be far better than his own, coupled with the rumors that the evil ghosts of Feiying Village are harmful, could it be that this adult is an immortal cultivator?!
County Lieutenant Zhao on the side asked Zhang Zhiping what he was thinking at this time: "Such a noble person, the three of us should go to visit, such a master outside the world, is it the legendary immortal cultivator?"
The lord of the Zhou State is still the way, the whole country cultivates immortals and seeks the Tao has become a common practice, the words of the immortal cultivators spread all over the world, and it is often heard that so-and-so saw a sword fairy flying in the sky, and so-and-so picked a superb elixir, disappeared in the middle of the night but left a large amount of silver money legend, these phenomena are often reported to the court as auspicious. Zhang Zhiping checked many such things in the government with the help of his identity, which is not like a lie, which is also the reason why he thinks that there are immortal cultivators in this world, after all, those ordinary people run around every day for food and clothing, and it is impossible to make up some myths and stories every day to deceive the government.
Zhang Zhizhong didn't say anything at this time, and after pondering for a while, he said: "My lord came here to solve my Feishi County's emergency, and I need to visit, but it's always bad for me to visit rashly, I don't know what treasures should be prepared as gifts for adults?"
Hearing this, Qian Zhutou smiled and said: "Then the masters eat and drink dew every day, and regard the fame and fortune of the world as if they were passing by, what treasure can I take out for him to see? However, the immortal alchemy and taking medicine naturally need some precious medicinal materials, and I will bring the three-hundred-year-old ginseng of Tongrentang, and then bring some precious medicinal materials." ”
The other two also nodded approvingly when they heard this, Feishi County is only a county seat after all, and there are no precious treasures, and it is already a blessing to have a three-hundred-year-old ginseng, as for the opinion of Tong Ren Tang? As the three people with the highest power in Feishi County, they are not a small Tong Ren Tang that can resist under their joint efforts. However, at this time, Zhang Zhizhong thought that Dr. Sun of Tongrentang was the teacher of his third son, and he couldn't care about his face at all, so he should give more compensation at that time.
In order to avoid the leakage of the news, the three of them agreed to visit tonight, and then Zhang Zhiping heard the three of them start talking about other things, so he left quietly, and made up his mind that he would follow them tonight to meet the rumored immortal cultivator.
Zhang Zhiping, who returned to the hospital, calmed down and began to sort out the news he got today. It seems that among the high-level officials, the news of this immortal cultivator is probably not as ignorant as that of the commoners, but he was unwilling to let his father know his goal in the past, and he never asked his father about this matter, but now it seems that he has missed many opportunities, and it seems that he needs to talk to his father openly and honestly after this matter.
The matter of Feiying Village must be related to the immortal cultivators, otherwise there would not be an immortal cultivator to deal with this matter, so how should I take advantage of this matter? Go directly to the apprenticeship? This is different from ordinary apprentices, with his father behind him, it seems that from today's conversation, he has not reached the point where he can influence the immortal cultivators. If the other party directly refuses when apprenticing, he has nothing to do, he doesn't expect any tricks such as kneeling to be effective, the legend of the immortal said that it sounds good is free, and it is capricious to say that it is ugly, and he will never force himself to accept some small tricks similar to threats, and it is good to say that if he meets a grumpy one, he may not die, and the legend of the immortal is not that he has not happened to destroy the country in anger.
Zhang Zhiping thinks that there are immortal cultivators in this world, but he doesn't think that they are as desireless as the legendary saints. No matter who it is, as long as you live in the world, there will be needs, there will be desires, although the other party can't look down on the ordinary treasures in the world, but it can only be said that the needs are different, and there will still be needs, otherwise they will not participate in the change of the Zhou Dynasty.
At this time, Zhang Zhiping's mood was a little chaotic, and he found that even in the other world, it was so important to have a good background, and he still underestimated the role played by his father in the process of studying over the years. If my father was not a county magistrate, without his strong support, how could my teachers accept someone as a disciple casually, and maybe I would have to work for decades like those apprentices, and the teacher would only teach something when he was in a good mood. In this world of immortal cultivators, the knowledge about immortal cultivators is firmly in the hands of immortal cultivators, and it is not as popular as in previous lives, and most of the knowledge can be learned as long as you spend money. These immortal cultivators seem to live in the same world as mortals, but there is an insurmountable gap in the middle that separates the two, and without a guide, it is absolutely difficult for mortals to enter the world of immortal cultivators.
Zhang Zhiping sat on the stone bench in the courtyard thinking about the future like seven years ago, his eyes gradually became firm, no matter what, he couldn't give up this opportunity to contact with the immortal cultivators, missed this opportunity, he didn't know how long it would take to get so close to the immortal cultivators again, but he couldn't act rashly, he needed to think carefully, and he couldn't delay, tonight with his father and them to visit the immortal cultivators was the best opportunity. It seems that I can't wait until the aftermath, and now I need to talk openly and honestly with my father.
Let Fugui go to the study to watch, and call himself over when the guests are gone. An hour later, Fugui came back and said that Zhao County Lieutenant and Qian Zhutou had left, it seemed that they had gone to buy gifts, Zhang Zhiping no longer hesitated, and immediately came to the study, looking at his father and said straight to the point: "Father, I want to go to cultivate immortals!"
Zhang Zhizhong was originally a little surprised, why did the usually polite third son break into his study so rudely today, but after hearing what he said, his expression suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "You overheard our conversation just now?!"
Zhang Zhiping didn't seem to see Zhang Zhizhong's ugly face, nor did he hide it, and said directly: "My strength has reached the first-class realm now, and I just overheard your conversation outside and discovered the existence of immortal cultivators. I wanted to go to the immortal cultivator a long time ago, I originally wanted to leave in a few days, but I didn't expect to learn the news of the immortal cultivator at home today, I didn't want to miss this opportunity, I originally wanted to secretly follow you to see the immortal cultivator, and after seeing him, I directly apprenticed to the teacher to see if I could be accepted as a disciple. But then I think it's a bit wrong, and I'm worried about how it will affect you, so I'd like to talk to you about it openly. ”
Zhang Zhizhong, who was originally a little angry, heard what his son said, his expression gradually calmed down, his right hand kept stroking the paperweight, fell into deep thought, and did not speak for a long time. Zhang Zhiping on the side was not in a hurry, and stood and waited with a happy spirit. After half an hour, Zhang Zhizhong, who had been pondering, reacted, looked at Zhang Zhiping, who looked calm on the side and did not have the slightest impatience, nodded a little, touched his beard and said: "It seems that you have made great progress in your qi cultivation skills over the years." Zhang Zhizhong paused, looked at Zhang Zhiping, who did not have the slightest sense of pride, and continued: "You have done a good job in this matter, you have not made your own opinions, and you have the bearing to do great things, not bad, very good." ”
Zhang Zhizhong is very satisfied with his son's performance, many young people never think about the consequences when doing things, and always take those successful people as an example, but how do they know that the losers in the desperate bet far exceed the winners, and they don't know that the successful ones don't know how much preparation they have made before doing things. Doing things alone, if there is an old man on the side, you can avoid a lot of indifferent mistakes, greatly improve the probability of success, now Zhang Zhiping is so steady, he has the foundation to do great things, no matter what happens this time, he will definitely be able to achieve something in the future.
