I want to cultivate swordsman

Xu Zhiqiu looked at the old basket in front of him, but didn't reach out to catch it.

Although Xu's family didn't have much money in the past, eggs are still not lacking. What's more, Xu Zhiqiu has earned a lot of silver now. Xu's family should be the richest household on Wutong Street. It is extremely poor, so I can't bear to accept it.

Seeing that he didn't accept money or eggs, the old man moved his shriveled and toothless mouth, and said with some melancholy: "There is an old cow at home, and I thought I would sell it recently for some money, but No one is willing to take it, let’s take a look after the new year, if someone buys it, I will ask Da Zhu to send it to you.”

Wang Dazhu said: "The cow is old and has no disease. It can't be sold at the meat price and can be exchanged for some money."

Hearing what they said, Xu Zhiqiu knew that they must have misunderstood, so he explained: "You don't need to be like this, the county has already rewarded you for the search and rescue in Wangxian Mountain, so there is no reason to collect these things."

"Why not, the immortal should accept it." The old man said, "It's their fault that the magistrate of the county government gave the money. You saved Da Zhu and my son who didn't live up to expectations, so we have to pay another one." It’s just that the family has been struggling recently, and there are not many things to have, otherwise, the old man would not be able to afford just this little thing.”

Speaking of which, the old man called out his granddaughter's name, and the little girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old was Wang Xiulian, and she handed out the basket in her hand again, and said timidly, "Immortal, please accept it." Bar."

Seeing that the old man insisted on this, Xu Zhiqiu had no choice but to accept the basket containing the eggs, but he never took the seven silver coins. Although he didn't ask, he knew that this should be the entire property of the old man. Even life will become difficult.

"Old man, the new year is approaching, so let's keep this money for the next year."

The old man's expression was a bit tangled, and after a while he couldn't help sighing and said: "To tell you the truth, the family really doesn't even have any money for the New Year. You are kind, but if it's just these eggs, we really feel sorry, or else Let Xiulian be a maid for you, she is lucky to be able to serve immortals on weekdays."

Maid?Xu Zhiqiu's eyelids twitched, and the aunt who was standing in front of the door hurriedly interjected: "That's impossible, our Xu family is just an ordinary family, and we can't act like an official. How can you get married after becoming a servant girl?"

The old man waved his hand and said, "She is just a poor girl. Immortals are powerful and kind-hearted. Even if I become your maidservant, I won't insult anyone. Xiulian, don't stand still, lest people think you don't want to."

The handsome Wang Xiulian quickly knelt down and said, "If you are willing, it is Xiulian's blessing to serve the immortal."

Xu Zhiqiu suddenly felt a headache, and refused: "The old man should accept this thought."

The aunt also said again: "We have accepted the eggs, and they will be used in a few days, so there is no need to buy them again, but don't talk about other things, or you will be angry."

In the end, the old man's idea of ​​wanting his granddaughter to stay with Xu Zhiqiu was still unfinished. She sighed helplessly, and then thanked her several times before taking her granddaughter's hand and leaving.Before leaving, Wang Dazhu told Xu Zhiqiu that he would help no matter what he ordered in the future. His life was saved by Xu Zhiqiu, and he would always remember it.

When the whole family had gone far away, my aunt suddenly said: "I think that little girl is pretty, although she can't be called pretty, but she can handle it, so you are not tempted?"

Xu Zhiqiu expected that his aunt would ask such a question, and replied, "It's not appropriate."

My aunt didn't say any more, if she really wanted to keep the little girl in the past, so that her nephew would not be able to find a wife in the future, but now that Xu Zhiqiu has earned a lot of money, getting a wife is not a difficult task .

.........

For the next five days, Lin'an County remained peaceful.

Nothing happened to Xu's family. Apart from practicing, Xu Zhiqiu spent every day playing with his cousin, but he found that the atmosphere on Wutong Street seemed to be a little different from before, and the way many people in the street looked at him had changed.

In the past, when walking on Wutong Street, only Wu Xunqi who sold sesame seed cakes, Zhang Quande who butchered pigs, and Widow Pan who sold tofu would say hello to him from time to time, but now many people would say hello when they saw him, and some would say hello to him. If I have nothing to say, I want to deliberately find something to talk about.

On this day, Xu Zhiqiu walked to the corner of Wutong Street to buy some rice for his aunt, but he stopped suddenly before stepping into the rice shop, because he felt that someone was watching him, and he was not an ordinary person.

He looked under the tree four feet away, and saw an old Taoist priest with a white beard in Taoist robe standing there. When the eyes of the two collided in the air, the old Taoist smiled and beckoned to Xu Zhiqiu.

This old Taoist priest Xu Zhiqiu also recognized that it was the Taoist priest of Xuanyun Temple, Chen didn't know.

Xu Zhiqiu hesitated for a while, but finally walked towards Chen Daochang. He got closer, and he could feel the fluctuation of the true energy in Chen Daochang's body, which was probably only at the level of the fourth level of Qi training, weaker than himself.

While Xu Zhiqiu was sizing up the other party, Chen Buzhi was also sizing him up, and when he was only a few steps away, he said, "Mr. Xu is really a man of good fortune."

Xu Zhiqiu didn't say a word.

Chen Bubu continued: "However, I'm in a terrible situation. In the past few days, I have been called a liar."

Xu Zhiqiu said with a smile: "There are still people who say that Daoist Chen is a liar, he must be a foreigner, and everyone in Lin'an County doesn't know that Daoist Chen is capable, exorcising evil spirits is no problem."

Chen Bubu also laughed, stroked the white beard on his chin and said, "It's just a little talent, and it's far behind Mr. Xu."

Xu Zhiqiu cupped his hands and said, "Chen Daochang is humble."

Chen didn't know that he didn't reply, he stared at Xu Zhiqiu again and again, and finally said: "It's no wonder others say I'm a liar, now even I myself have such doubts."

Pausing for a few breaths, Chen Bubu said again: "When Xu's family inspected the young master's injuries, I could see that Mr. Xu's foundation has been exhausted, and his soul is even more broken. I never thought that after a year of absence, Mr. Xu not only recovered his foundation , Soul is full, and even the cultivation base has improved a lot, it's really amazing."

Xu Zhiqiu smiled and remained silent.Chen didn't know that he didn't speak, so he stroked his beard and said: "It seems that Mr. Xu has encountered a rare and great opportunity, but as far as I know, there should be no natural talents near Lin'an County that can restore the foundation. Dibao, this is really incomprehensible."
