Beiyin Great Sage

  Chapter 134 Outer Door

   "Zi..."

  The sound of frying crispy fish, accompanied by a fresh fragrance.

   The shouts of the diners, the echoes of the servants, and the busy sounds of the kitchen helpers are intertwined, and a lively picture of life comes into view.

  Zhou Jia carried an oversized wooden box, walked past the back kitchen on the first floor, and went straight up to the second floor.

  The chef didn't stop when he saw it.

   Obviously a familiar face.

  Upstairs.

  Qian Xiaoyun was whispering something to Aunt Yan, most likely it was Aunt Yan who was talking, Qian Xiaoyun listened carefully, nodding and asking questions from time to time.

  Seeing Zhou Jia coming up, the two stood up to say hello.

   "You take these things to heart." The business downstairs was getting busy, Aunt Yan explained a few words to Qian Xiaoyun, and then hurried downstairs.

   "Ma'am is very enthusiastic." Zhou Jia said:

   "The person is also nice."

   "Yes." Qian Xiaoyun nodded, swept the hair in front of his eyebrows, and said with a wry smile:

   "If the aunt hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that I had done so many wrong things in raising children, and I would have been wronged along with me."

   As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to caress Huo Zhen who was sleeping beside him.

  As a new mother, she didn't know anything, and soon after she gave birth to her child, she embarked on a road of escape, running all the way, and couldn't take care of her child well.

  During this time, Aunt Yan helped her share a lot.

  Shit, pee, eat, drink...

   For babies, everything needs to be meticulous and careful, and there is no carelessness.

   "Brother Yan is a nice person, and Aunt Yan is also very enthusiastic." Zhou Jia stood at the window on the second floor, looking at the street below with people coming and going:

   "What's Miss Qian's next plan?"

   "Plan?" Qian Xiaoyun's eyes were blank:

   "When I left Huojiabao, I just wanted to find a place to settle down in Hongzeyu and raise Zhen'er, and I was satisfied."

Now…

  Recalling what Aunt Yan had said in the past few days, she remained silent.

   After a pause, Fang said:

   "Brother Yan is an inner disciple of the Xuantian Union, and he is placed with high hopes by the master. It is possible that he will not be able to prove the black iron in the future, and the future can be expected.

   "It's a pity that he is not good at managing affairs, and he has devoted himself to practicing, so far he has no foundation."

   "With his status and strength, he has only opened such a small restaurant for so many years, and he has little savings. It is indeed a waste."

   "Not bad." Zhou Jia nodded.

  Yan Ji's status among the inner disciples of Xuantian Union is not low, at least stronger than many young people in the city, but he is too honest.

  Even doing business, I am timid.

  On such a big street, only their family doesn’t need to make offerings to Mi’s family, so it’s strange that there hasn’t been any development for so many years.

"I have money."

  Qian Xiaoyun said, she is really rich, even if more than a hundred source crystals are placed in Wenshui City, it is not a small fortune.

   "Brother Yan is very powerful. If we join forces, we don't need to be well-known. At least we can lay a foundation here, so that it will be convenient for Zhen'er to start a family and start a business in the future."

   "And Brother Yan's status as an inner disciple can also help us exempt from taxes and labor."

   "It seems that you already have a plan." Zhou Jia said:

   "That's not bad."

  He could see that Aunt Yan actually wanted Qian Xiaoyun to marry into the Yan family.

  In Yan Ji's capacity, it was actually Qian Xiaoyun who made the move.

  One is an inner sect disciple of the Xuantian Union, with a promising future, and the other is a woman with a child. It is considered generous of the Yan family not to dislike it.

but.

  Qian Xiaoyun obviously did not intend to do so.

   I want cooperation between the two parties, not unilateral attachment.

   "Actually." After thinking for a while, Zhou Jia said:

   "With your age and cultivation, you can join the Xuantian League."

   "Well..." Qian Xiaoyun looked sideways, smiled wryly and said:

   "It seems that Brother Zhou doesn't know why advanced black iron requires super quality."

   "Why?" Zhou Jia was taken aback.

  He really didn't know about this.

   "Super-quality source quality contains the essence of black iron and other grades. Taking it can comprehend its mystery and make people break through the realm." Qian Xiaoyun explained:

   "At the same time, it can also repair personal trauma, make the body flawless, and lay the foundation for breakthroughs."

"You know, people who practice martial arts like me will inevitably get injured, especially when fighting outside. We often use fierce beast essence to repair the injuries. It looks innocent on the surface, but in fact it has already hurt the root. Only super-quality source quality can repair it, not There is no hope of repairing Black Iron."

"I…"

  She sighed and said:

   "Since I picked up that dagger, there is no hope."

  The black iron mysterious weapon in her hand came from the Huo family, and only the blood of the Huo family can be used as an envoy. She used it forcibly, and the hidden wounds on her body were irreparable.

and…

  From then on, the strength will not increase any more, and even the lifespan will drop sharply.

  This kind of situation can be known immediately, and it is impossible to get started.

  The room fell silent.

   "Have you got what you want?" Looking at the wooden box in Zhou Jia's hand, Qian Xiaoyun changed the topic a bit abruptly.

"Yes."

  Zhou Jia nodded, and opened the wooden box casually.

  There are only two things in the wooden box, but when it is put down, the floor makes a hard support sound, obviously the weight is definitely not light.

   One axe, one shield.

  The ax is a double-edged axe, more than four feet long, with a handle three feet long.

  Shield, thick and solid.

   Metal texture with a slightly rough feel, a shield that is as thick as a finger.

   "It was made with Feihu's epee, and some other things were added. It is not as heavy as the original, so it can barely be regarded as a handy one."

   Zhou Jia opened his mouth.

  The total weight of the shield and ax is more than five hundred catties, which is hard and resistant, but without the Lei Yuan Stone, it will have less blessing for the thunder ax method.

"good."

  Qian Xiaoyun nodded slowly.

  She knew how terrifying Zhou Jia's strength was, and holding such a heavy weapon, she would be an invincible beast.

  Put it on the battlefield, it is even a killing machine.

   "Boom..."

"Do not fight!"

"stop fighting!"

  At this time, there was a noise from the street outside.

  The two of them looked out, and couldn't help being taken aback.

   I saw chaos on the street, one person was madly chasing another person, and the chaser was Yan Ji.

  Yan Ji, who had always been calm and reticent, now had red eyes and a face full of anger.

  The man was tall and thin, his head was bleeding and his facial features could not be seen clearly, his clothes were even more disheveled, bruises could be seen everywhere, and he kept begging for mercy.

   "Brother Yan, it's really none of my business. I swear to God, I paid all the money that should be paid, and I don't know why it didn't work."

"what!"

  Before the person who was beaten could speak, he was punched again and fell to the ground.

  The nose and mouth were bleeding instantly.

  He panicked for a moment, crawled desperately on the ground with all his limbs, and at the same time shouted to the sky:

   "Killed!"

   "Yan Ji killed someone!"

   "I'll kill you today." Yan Ji's eyes were filled with anger, he roared and punched down, his anger surged up and he really didn't intend to hold back.

   "Brother Yan!"

  An arm blocked the middle, Zhou Jia appeared and stopped him a little:

"How is this going?"

   "Zhou...Brother Zhou." Seeing that it was someone, Yan Ji froze, with a look of shame on his face, he turned his head and did not dare to look at Zhou Jia.

  Seeing the cowering Bai Yuan on the ground, he felt angry again:

"I beat you to death!"

   "Brother Zhou, save me." Bai Yuan was terrified, hiding behind Zhou Jia with his hands and feet, and said anxiously:

   "I'm Bai Yuan, it's none of my business if your matter doesn't come true, I get a point for those source crystals... I only got one, really only one."

   "Bai Yuan?"

  Zhou Jia frowned, but he guessed what happened. It seemed that something went wrong when he entered the inner sect, so he reached out to stop Yan Ji again, shook his head and said:

   "Money is something outside of the body, if it's gone, it's gone. Quan has learned a lesson, so Brother Yan won't shout for it."

  Bai Yuan was also a disciple of Xuantian Union, and he was beaten to death in the street in full view, even Yan Ji couldn't explain it.

   "That's eleven source crystals!" Yan Ji stomped his feet angrily:

   "My monthly money for ten years, just because I believed in the surname Bai, you handed it over without saying a word, I... I will never have the face to face others in the future."

   "There is a refund, there is a refund." Bai Yuan said hastily:

   "Three pieces were returned over there."

   "Return three?" Yan Ji trembled:

   "Only by going back and forth like this, will you detain eight source crystals?"

   Zhou Jia sighed softly.

  He did understand what happened, the more powerful and complex the procedures, the more inevitable there would be layers of deductions.

  That was the case in his company back then.

even.

   This matter may have nothing to do with that Qiankun Dao Ke Jingzhi. Even if the investigation is carried out, there will be layers of evasion, and it is difficult for outsiders to sort out.

  No one knows who is clean and who is not in this process.

   "This matter can't be settled like this."

  Yan Ji gritted his teeth and glared at Bai Yuan angrily:

   "If I don't kill him today, I will also break his legs. Eight origin stones are enough to buy two of his legs."

"do not!"

"do not!"

  Bai Yuan looked terrified, he knew that Yan Ji really dared to do something.

  Yan Ji got into a dispute with some inner disciples because of some outsiders, and at that time, people were killed.

   "My coin is also refunded, too."

   "I can't find the inner door, I... I know how to worship the outer door, brother Yan, please forgive me, this matter really has nothing to do with me."

   "I'm just an errand runner."

   "Outer door?" Yan Ji sneered:

   "Going to the outer door, do I still need to find you?"

   As for whether it has anything to do with him, is it reasonable to accept money and not do anything?

"never mind."

  Seeing that Yan Ji was really planning to make a move, Zhou Jia had no choice but to reach out his hand again to stop him:

   "I came to Hongzeyu just to find a place to live. In fact, the outer door is also very good. There are fewer people and less troubles, so there are not so many disputes."

   "That's right, that's right." Bai Yuan nodded repeatedly:

   "Everyone wants to be an inner disciple. It's not that good if you really become an inner disciple. It's not like being bullied."

   "Outside, the disciples of the outer sect are all emperors, how many..."

"what!"

   Before he could finish his sentence, Yan Ji kicked him on his stomach, curled up and screamed.

   "Brother Zhou."

  Yan Ji took a deep breath, her eyes were red:

   "I didn't think about this matter, inner door..."

   "Brother Yan." Zhou Jia raised his hand and said seriously:

   "What I said is true, it doesn't matter if you are an outer disciple, as long as you can face corvee, taxes, and have a shelter, you will be satisfied."

  Based on his background, there is really not much difference between the inner sect and the outer sect.

   "You..." Yan Ji stared at Zhou Jia seriously for a moment, then nodded slowly:

   "Forget it."

  *

  *

  *

   Half a month later.

  Xiaolang Island.

  The island is located at the intersection of water veins, with abundant source power.

  The area covers seventeen miles from north to south and nine miles from east to west. It is covered with lush green plants, singing birds and fragrant flowers. It is the golden branch of the outer gate of Xuantian League.

  Get off the boat and come to a waterside courtyard.

  The courtyard is not big, with a fence around the outside, colorful melons, fruits and seasonal vegetables are planted inside, and various flowers are decorated in the corners.

   It can be seen that the owner of the courtyard is quite interesting and pragmatic.

  Wearing an azure robe and dressed as a Taoist priest, Liu Yi stretched out his hand and said:

   "This is Mr. Biyan's residence, Mr. Shan Muhua and senior Shan Muhua. Junior brother will go to greet you first, and then go back with me to register."

   "Brother, wait a moment." Zhou Jia cupped his hands and walked to the front of the courtyard:

   "Senior Shan, disciple Zhou Jia, come to pay a visit."

   "Zhou Jia?"

  In the courtyard, a woman pushed open the door.

  The woman was twenty-eight years old, with delicate features, dressed in a light yellow dress, with lively eyes, looked Zhou Jia up and down, and said with a smile:

   "Are you my father's new apprentice?"

   "Not bad." Zhou Jia nodded:

   "Senior is here?"

   "You should be called Master." The corner of the woman's mouth curled up, and she pointed lightly:

   "My name is Shan Zijin, and I'm your senior sister. Call me senior sister first."

  "Senior Sister Shan." Zhou Jia's complexion remained unchanged, and he cupped his hands and said:

   "Is the master here?"

   "Be obedient." Shan Zijin nodded in satisfaction, then shook her head:

   "My father has two old problems. It's inconvenient to see people. You won't be able to see them today. Wait for two days and come back."

   "..." Zhou Jia looked at Liu Yi.

   Liu Yi seemed to have expected this, and nodded:

   "Since that's the case, Junior Brother will register with me first and find a place to live. I will be on the island for a long time in the future, and I will visit you then."

"but…"

   "Without the senior's handwriting and token, the others don't matter, but you can't receive the secret book of exercises."

   "Yes." Zhou Jia had no objection:

   "Thank you."

  Before he came, he knew a little about his new master.

  Mr. Bi Yan, Shan Muhua, a master of black iron, was injured in a fight with others in the early years. Since then, the root of the disease has fallen, and it is said that he has not lived well for a few years.

   It shouldn't be a good choice to worship under such people.

  But Shan Muhua has a brother-in-law who is one of the most powerful people in Jin Huang's lineage. In terms of strength and status, he is no less than an inner sect black iron.

  That person takes good care of Shan Muhua, loves the house and Wu, so it is not bad to worship him.

   Nothing more.

  Shan Muhua seldom accepts disciples, and Bai Yuan has really put in a lot of effort this time.

   "After formal apprenticeship, you can receive the three martial arts cheats. Afterwards, if you have achievements and origin stones, you can also come and trade them."

   Liu Yi said as he walked:

   "In addition, you have a courtyard, which can be divided into one mu of fertile land and three parts of paddy fields. There are two places under your name that can be exempted from taxation and military service."

"certainly."

   "Every year, you need to pay one hundred source stones to the branch."

   That's right.

  Outer sect disciples of Xuantian Union don't have a monthly salary, but they have to make offerings to the branches. Fortunately, they don't need to pay rent for the fertile and paddy fields they share.

   And two tax-free quotas can also exchange a lot of money.

  But if you want to buy precious medicines, equipment, and exercises, you need to find your own way.

   Zhou Jia followed behind, thoughtful.

   No wonder there are not many people on the island. It seems to be true, so after the branch disciples have learned martial arts well, they will go to the nearby cities to work hard.

   Those who stay on the island are mostly idlers.

   Unlike inner disciples.

  You don’t need to worry about anything, you just need to practice with your heart, show your talent in practice, and all the materials you consume will be provided by the sect.

   Fortunately.

   Finally have a place to stand!
