Chapter 5 Unsealing Huajian Chengwan
As the phantom became clearer, the seven stars became dimmer. Finally, the phantom of the Taoist in the feathered clothes and star crown condensed to almost be similar to Zhou Chu's body, and the seven stars in the sky also disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The sun star appeared, and I don’t know if it really disappeared or just disappeared temporarily?
Finally, the figure of Taoist in the feathered clothes and star crown is combined with Zhou Chu into one, and all the strange phenomena in heaven and earth disappear.
Zhou Chu slowly landed on the ground. He pointed at the corpse of the green dragon in the water, and the corpse of the green dragon quickly shriveled, and finally a round bead that seemed to gather blood from the dragon skin flew out.
The blood bead fell into Zhou Chu's palm and was held in his arms. Then Zhou Chu's eyes fell on the water dragon skin.
"It's not wasteable. It's just a matter of making two robes." Zhou Chu nodded and pointed to the sword. A star sword energy turned around the dragon skin a few times, and then a dragon skin that was one meter long and half a meter wide floated down to Zhou Cheng's feet.
"Clean up, let's go home." Zhou Chu fell from the air and said with a relaxed smile on his face.
When Zhou Chu and Zhou Cheng returned to Yangxian, the city was still discussing the vision of the Sun Star. However, when Zhou Chu returned safely, everyone seemed a little disappointed.
Zhou Chu did not explain anything to the people in the city, nor did he announce that he had killed the tiger and killed the evil dragon, but instead went straight back to the mansion with Zhou Cheng.
Yangxian Zhou Mansion is a considerable courtyard in this city.
The courtyard is divided into two places. The main hall is opposite to the door of the mansion. On both sides are the wing rooms. There is a corridor from the side of the main hall. After passing through the corridor, the backyard is the owner's bedroom and study, and there is also a not-so-large treasury.
Zhou Chu sat in the main seat in the middle of the main hall, and Zhou Cheng stood in front of him with his hands down. He looked like the head of the family was talking to the housekeeper.
"Brother Cheng, how much family resources are there in the family?" Zhou Chu said and called Zhou Cheng as Brother Cheng.
"When I go back to the lord, in addition to this house, there are also twenty acres of fertile land and five stagnant of money in my house." Zhou Cheng bowed and replied.
The Zhou family now has only so many of the assets left. Apart from this house and land, almost all the things that can be sold were sold by Zhou Chu. The remaining little money was earned by Zhou Cheng on weekdays to make money to support the two of them.
"Over the years, I have almost lost this business... I have suffered you." Zhou Chu showed an embarrassing smile on his face.
He knew that the Zhou family had a rich family, and he even inherited Zhou Feng's rank of Guannei Marquis, but now the family is only as large as a small landlord in a remote area, which really insults the reputation of the Zhou family.
Zhou Cheng looked at Zhou Chu's self-deprecating look and knew that his lord had woken up, and he was very relieved. However, as a servant, Zhou Cheng could not answer the conversation at this time.
"How long will it take for us to stay mourning?" Zhou Chu continued to ask.
“There are ten days left.”
"Tomorrow you will find someone to sell all your property, and you don't want the house and land. Change it all for gold and silver, and buy two more horses. Once the mourning period is over, we will leave!" Zhou Chu put his palm gently on the desk beside him and said with determination.
Zhou Cheng bowed again after hearing this, and he didn't ask why he even had to sell his ancestral home. He just replied in a little embarrassedly: "In today's chaotic times, horses are all military supplies, so it's probably difficult to buy them! I wonder where the lord wants to go? Is it good for us to walk on the water?"
"If you can't buy a horse, buy two donkeys... Let's go to Jianye first. I want to become an official and revive the name of Zhou!" Zhou Chu said loudly, revealing a strong sense of confidence in his tone.
"Bless our ancestors... The Zhou clan will prosper. My subordinates are willing to follow the lord and go through fire and water without hesitation!" Zhou Cheng was excited. He was originally a member of the Zhou clan, but now when he saw Zhou Chu's efforts, his excitement was beyond words.
"In addition, if you buy some incense and candle tribute tomorrow, I will be of great use. You will have a good rest tonight, and then I will refine the dragon skin into a robes, each of us will be one." Zhou Chu said as he reached out and grabbed it, and the green dragon skin that was originally placed aside was grabbed by him.
Zhou Chu moved into the backyard and Zhou Cheng also returned to his room. After a day of running around, Zhou Cheng still couldn't feel hungry. He probably should be the demon tiger inner alchemy that directly allowed him to achieve the legendary fasting effect.
In the bedroom, Zhou Cheng tossed and turned, so he sat up and sat cross-legged on the bed, imitating how he was on the huge rocks in the South Mountain last night.
Soon Zhou Cheng was immersed in his mind, and subconsciously extended to all directions. The spiders on the window frame in the room, the mice on the beams outside the room, and the insects on the leaves in the yard were all extremely clearly imprinted in Zhou Cheng's mind.
However, when the consciousness extends to Zhou Chu's backyard, Zhou Cheng found that what he heard was a hazy starlight. There seemed to be a palace among the starlight, which makes people intimidate, and even the consciousness is unwilling to approach.
Zhou Cheng probably was Zhou Chu refining the Qingjiao velvet. Although he didn't know what the velvet was and was very curious about the refining process, he still quickly retracted his consciousness.
Soon Zhou Cheng became introverted and no longer experienced the changes in the outside world.
If there is no time to cultivate the truth, Zhou Cheng might have already experienced this feeling. If it weren’t for the knocking of Zhou Chu outside the house, Zhou Cheng might have entered into meditation until he was sitting and transformed.
When Zhou Cheng was woken up, he felt that he had only experienced a moment, but when he looked outside the house, it was already bright.
"Your mind is really suitable for practicing Taoism. It is easy to enter into samadhi. Unfortunately... I was born at the wrong time... By the way, it is not good for you to enter into samadhi so casually. Some basic methods of practicing Taoism should be discussed with you." Zhou Chu looked at Zhou Cheng's confused look and said with regret.
Zhou Cheng didn't care. He thought Zhou Chu was lamenting that he used inner alchemy instead of the heart, and his potential for practicing Taoism had been lost, and his achievements were ultimately limited.
"Let's put on this velvet first. You will do the main business first, and I'll tell you together." Zhou Chu raised his hand and handed a green inner armor to Zhou Cheng. Overnight he had already refined the green dragon skin into a velvet.
Looking at the so-called robes in front of him, Zhou Cheng found that it was not the robe he imagined that Taoist wearing, but a vest wearing inside, just protecting his body.
Zhou Cheng took the robe, took off his outer robe and put it on his body. Although it was made of Jiao leather, Zhou Cheng felt it was extremely light and a little warm in his hand. It felt like he was wearing it like a skin. It seemed that he was not wearing it on his body.
"This green dragon is so simple that this robe can only resist ordinary weapons, bows and arrows, and avoid ordinary water and fire. What you and I can only use is better than nothing!" Zhou Chu's voice sounded in his ears, but he was not very satisfied with the robe.
"It is already a rare treasure that can withstand weapons and avoid water and fire." Zhou Cheng was extremely satisfied.
He also quelled the rebellion and fought against bandits with Zhou Feng a few years ago. He knew very well that although Zhou Chu said it simply, this small robe was enough to make a mortal an enemy of ten thousand people, and even a powerful general of the world.
"Just like it, go and do the important business. Then I will write down some basic methods of practicing Taoism, and you will have rules to follow in the future." Zhou Chu waved his hand to send Zhou Cheng to sell his property. Zhou Chu is really not easy to come forward in this kind of thing because his popularity is really bad.
"I'll go here." Zhou Cheng bowed and turned around and walked out of the Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Cheng went out for a whole day.
There are too many things to do, and selling the property of a home is not a trivial matter. He only found a few interested sellers for the whole day and agreed to discuss it on the spot later.
As for the horses, it was indeed as Zhou Cheng expected. Not to mention buying them, he didn't even see the shadows. The donkey said that he only found some news. If he wanted to buy them, Zhou Cheng would have to come to him in person another day.
As dusk approached, Zhou Cheng returned to Zhou Mansion with incense and candle tribute.
The three-year mourning period is approaching. Zhou Cheng feels that these things should be used to worship Zhou Ju, so he bought a lot and chose the best.
Zhou Chu was waiting for Zhou Cheng outside the main hall early. What surprised Zhou Cheng was that for some reason Zhou Cheng also moved an altar table in the yard outside the main hall, but there was no Zhou Feng tablet on the altar table.
"Put the things on it, and you can hold this manual book, and there will be the foundation for you to enter the Tao." Zhou Chu ordered Zhou Cheng to arrange the altar and handed another book to Zhou Cheng.
"Thank you for your reward." Zhou Cheng took the book with both hands and put it carefully in his arms. He bowed respectfully to Zhou Chu.
Zhou Chu smiled slightly and said in a slightly joking tone: "If you could call me brother, I would be even happier!"
"Haha... the lord is joking!" Zhou Cheng smiled awkwardly, but he was still unwilling to overcome the hurdle of master and servant.
Zhou Chu waved his hand in a lack of interest, stopped talking to Zhou Cheng, and stood quietly on the side and watched Zhou Cheng arrange the altar.
"It's almost done, go and get the Qingping Sword." Seeing that the arrangement was almost the same, Zhou Chu suddenly spoke, but asked Zhou Cheng to get the Qingping Sword.
Soon Zhou Cheng took out the Qingping Sword from the house, Zhou Chu took it gently, and gently wiped the sword body from the hilt with both fingers.
Just as Zhou Chu gently wiped it, the Qingping Sword emitted a faint green light, and the originally ordinary iron sword instantly turned into a shining treasure.
Suddenly, Zhou Chu raised his hands flat, pointed his fingers together into a sword, dragging the hilt and the tip of the sword, then raising the Qingping sword over his head, and slowly knelt down towards the altar.
Zhou Chu knelt on both knees, and Qingping sword was raised above his head.
Just as Zhou Chu bowed, the incense and candle on the altar lit without warning, and the blue smoke rose, as if it reached the sky.
"The ancestor is here, and the disciple has found a successor for the Qingping Sword. Today, the disciple uses blood as a matchmaker and invites Qingping... to unbroken!" Zhou Chu's voice was respectful and solemn, but not worshiping his ancestors and his deceased father, but was paying homage to a so-called ancestor.
Zhou Chu’s ancestor? This is something that Zhou Cheng had never heard of. But what surprised Zhou Cheng even more was that just after Zhou Chu said these words solemnly, the Qingping sword flew automatically to the altar, and the sword body hovered in circles on the altar, as if enjoying the incense.
Then Zhou Chu bit his fingers and pointed his broken finger at Qingping Sword, and a blood line with starlight shot towards Qingping Sword.
The blood line entangled along the circling Qingping Sword, gradually the two merged, and the Qingping Sword rotated faster, and soon there was only a light and shadow left on the altar. It seemed that the speed of light and shadow reached its limit, and finally, in Zhou Cheng's eyes, there was only a blue light left.
Suddenly, the light burst out, and then it quickly restrained.
The last green sword pill the size of an almond appeared on the altar. As soon as the sword pill appeared, it turned into a stream of light, and in the blink of an eye it sank into Zhou Cheng's eyebrows...
