Astral Apostle Chapter 178: Tao follows nature

Since the night of "Feng Juan Yu Linhe", the Ye family has been full of people, and there is an endless stream of people seeking to see the real Yufeng.

Zhou Jing would meet with people from all walks of life every day, and had a general understanding of the upper class situation in Ning Tianfu.

Ningtian Mansion, as the auxiliary capital of the Great Xia, has a long history and many powerful families. The dignitaries who live here are divided into several categories.

The first one is the aristocratic family that has lasted for hundreds of years. There have been various high-ranking officials in the ancestors, and they have been in power in different dynasties. These aristocratic families, in the process of the founding of the Great Xia Taizu Dingding, sent the elites of the family to participate in the betting. Naturally, the Great Xia Taizu would not refuse to help, so the aristocratic families shared the credit and were able to continue after the change of dynasty. The family has many children Entering the court as an official, and some are even relatives of the emperor, to rule the world together.

The second category is after the founding nobles who followed the Great Xia Taizu to conquer the world, this marquis and that uncle, there are ancestors who have been shadowed, and there are also officials in the family, and they are also prominent.

The third category is some upstart families, most of which are new families that have been inherited after some humble officials came to power in the past century, and they also have some status, and most of the heads of the families are current officials.

Ning Tian Zhifu Zhao Xing'an is one of them, he does not come from a family, a few generations ago he was still a poor family, but there are ancestors who have been servants, and the family has jumped up the ranks, no longer a grassroots. And he got the honor and became an official in the court, and climbed step by step to the current position of Ningtian magistrate, which made the Zhao family prosperous again.

It's just this kind of upstart family, most of the power is tied to the head of the family, and the descendants are temporarily unacceptable. Once the head of the family loses power, the family may soon decline. small gap. Only by running the business for a few more generations, spreading branches and leaves, and continuously descendants entering the court as officials, accumulating family prestige, and gaining a firm foothold, can they gradually turn into a family that is big but not down.

These three types of prominent families are the top dignitaries in Ningtian Mansion. Although they live here, their power is not limited to the local area. In addition to this, there are former courtiers in Ningtian Mansion who have served as senior citizens, world-renowned cultural celebrities, etc. The situation can be described as quite complicated, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

One of the special dignitaries is the royal family members who live in Ningtian Mansion. Although they are the most distinguished, they are relatively low-key most of the time. They generally don't provoke others, and no one dares to provoke them. There are not too many people, but once they show up, no one dares to ignore them, and there is a sense of detachment.

After experiencing it for a while, Zhou Jing realized more and more that this is a huge intertwined network of interests, which seems invisible to ordinary people, and is completely inaccessible to ordinary people, unknowable, and unfathomable.

In comparison, wealthy merchants like the Ye family are really not ranked well in Ning Tianfu.

The water here is very deep.

Fortunately, these powerful families think that he is an expert in the world, and they are awed by his miraculous means. If they want anything from others, their attitudes are warm and polite, and they regard him as a guest of honor.

Especially the aristocratic families who successfully obtained the elixir, who have experienced the miraculous effects of the elixir, are convinced and support it more and more.

Nowadays, no one calls him Lingfengzi any more, thinking that calling him by his name is not respectful enough, and now they directly address him as Yufeng Daoist.

According to the needs of these wealthy families, Zhou Jing developed two new prescriptions.

One is the Cooling Pill, if you take it when the heat is hot, it will be cool and transparent from the inside out, and you will feel light and agile. Medicine is very popular.

The other is Longevity Pill, which can nourish the body of the elderly, make them healthier and prolong life. Refining, because there is a price but no market, makes the big families want to see it.

Furthermore, Zhou Jing deliberately claimed that this longevity pill is just an introduction, and that the pill that can really prolong life by a large margin is called "Purple Mansion Longevity Pill". Only precious medicinal materials can be refined, and it takes a lot of hard work and time, so it can't be refined for the time being.

He is well aware of the importance of expectations, so he took out this big cake to slam the appetite of these wealthy families.

As for the existence of "Zifu Changsheng Pill"... It doesn't matter whether you can refine it or not, as long as everyone is willing to believe it, it is real.

It's a pity to maintain the image of a superior person, otherwise Zhou Jing really wants to pick up his old business, and the "Golden Spear Can't Fall Pill" and "Dragon and Tiger Convergence Pills" will surely become popular all over the world and let these rich people know their taste , can never do without.

…

This day.

In the living room of the Ye family, Zhou Jing was receiving an elder of Liu's parents, but this person was Liu Ping's father, who brought his son to make amends.

Actually, this is the third time that the Liu family has handed over invitations to ask for an appointment, but the first two times Zhou Jing didn't see him behind closed doors.

The servants brought in several boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and Liu Ping's father followed with his son.

Liu Ping's father put his posture quite low, and he didn't dare to sit down. He stood and cupped his hands to Zhou Jing who was sitting on the main seat:

"A few days ago, Ping'er made unwarranted remarks and offended the real man Yufeng. It was really caused by my incompetent discipline. Today, I brought my dog ​​to visit the real man, apologized for what happened that day, and prepared some small gifts As an apology, I also hope that the Taoist priest will ignore the previous suspicions, my Liu family has admired the real person for a long time, and only want to form a good relationship with the real person..."

He made a good word, full of flattery, then turned his head and shouted at Liu Ping:

"Ping'er, don't you hurry up and kneel down and apologize to the Taoist priest?

With a plop, Liu Ping knelt down without hesitation, kowtowing as if worshiping a **** in a Taoist temple, and said in panic:

"I don't know the face of an immortal. I have eyes but no eyes. I really know my mistake. I hope the real person will forgive me for a while. In the future, if the real person has orders, I will die!"

Zhou Jing sat on the seat, received a salute, then raised his hand slightly, and said indifferently:

"Small things don't need to be mentioned anymore, the poor have already ignored them."

The two of them were worried, their palms were full of sweat. After hearing this sentence, they were really relieved, knowing that this test had finally passed.

Two times before, the door was closed, but today I finally agreed to meet, the elders of the family have spoken out, they caused trouble, and ruined the chance to make friends with high-level people. If you can't ask Master Yufeng for forgiveness today, then please become a monk.

Liu Ping and his son were excited, and they flattered for a while. Seeing Zhou Jing lift the tea bowl and take a sip, they said goodbye immediately, leaving behind several boxes of belongings.

The servants of the Ye family came in immediately, moved the belongings and sent them to Zhou Jing's yard.

Zhou Jing picked up the gift list and looked at it, then curled his lips:

"The Liu family is really generous, and it seems to be full of sincerity."

In fact, he didn't have any opinion on Liu Ping. Seeing that the Liu family came to the door sincerely, he let the other party go. After all, it was just some squabbles, and he didn't intend to go too far.

In recent days, there have been too many gift-givers. None of the dignitaries in Ningtian Mansion came empty-handed. The courtyard came out and was used as a warehouse for Zhou Jing.

Among these gifts, gold and silver alone are wealth that ordinary people cannot earn in ten lifetimes, not to mention luxury items such as jewelry, jade, and antiques.

There is currently no place to use money here, but Zhou Jing does not refuse to collect money, and save it up first, anyway, it is all the money of the gentry.

It just so happens that Chen Feng is about to start a riot in the future, and when he saves enough start-up funds in the future, he will create an opportunity for him to "rob" him... just treat these aristocratic families as indirectly funding "aspiring young people".

Zhou Jing put down the gift list, ready to see if there are any other invitations worth seeing.

At this time, Grandpa Ye came tremblingly on crutches, accompanied by servants.

Seeing this, Zhou Jing put down the greeting card and got up, and said with a smile, "Old man, have you been feeling better recently?"

"Thanks to the real person, this old man has come back from the gate of hell."

Elder Ye is happy, a little out of breath, but his complexion is slightly better than the previous days.

After the evil spirits in his body were exorcised, he took Yuchundan daily to replenish his foundation, and Zhang Jinduan carefully illuminated his body to restore his body. Now he can walk on the ground.

After a short salute, the two sat down again.

Elder Ye opened his mouth immediately, with a grateful tone: "True Yufeng saved the old man's life, this kindness, the old man will remember it for five years, and the best way to treat my body and bones, I will pay my respects."

Zhou Jing nodded and smiled: "The old grandpa met me when he was critically ill. It's fate. Don't worry about the etiquette."

Grandpa Ye shook his head: "A real person moves according to circumstances. This free and easy demeanor is heart-wrenching, but I can't take it for granted. I have ordered that from now on, all members of the Ye family will The real person is regarded as the elder in the family, and he works hard for the real person, so don't have the slightest complaint, and don't disturb him on weekdays... The real person can rest assured to live in my Ye family."

Zhou Jing raised his brows, roughly understood what the other party was thinking, so he opened his mouth to give him a reassurance, and said with a smile:

"The Ye family has done a lot of trivial things for the poor. I live here quite comfortably. I don't have to worry about anything. If the old lady doesn't mind it, the poor will need to hang around for a while."

"This is good, this is good..."

Elder Ye smiled openly.

Recently, Zhou Jing's reputation has been well-known in Ningtian. I don't know how many wealthy families want to invite Zhou Jing to live in their homes, and the Ye family is close to the water, so naturally they don't want Zhou Jing to leave, so they made this statement.

Zhou Jing himself doesn't plan to move out. The facilities here are all available, and the Ye family has also been trained to become a die-hard supporter. If he goes out, he has to buy it again. There is no need for this, just borrow a ready-made one.

The two exchanged a few more words, and then Grandpa Ye left, and went back to his room to continue recuperating from his illness, without bothering Zhou Jing anymore.

At this time, the steward who had been waiting outside came in and reported:

"Renren, there are two Taoist priests, one old and one young, asking to see him outside, claiming that they have important matters to discuss and want to meet with the real person."

Zhou Jing blinked, and asked: "Have you verified the authenticity? Don't be another idler who comes to make up and make up. Whose family's hen hatches three chicks from one egg, and whose family's bird Can spit out people's words..."

The steward shook his head, and said: "These two Taoists have proofs, so they don't seem to be fake."

"Then let's meet."

Zhou Jing became curious.

Two orthodox Taoist priests came to the door. I don't know what they came for.

You won't come to investigate his unlicensed business, will you?

'It's just a matter of looking at the characteristics of the Taoist priests in this world. I also have a reference for pretending to be ghosts in the future. Moreover, there are evil spirits in this world, and there should be some Taoists with true abilities. I have made such a big commotion, I wonder if I can meet them...'

Zhou Jing thought secretly.

…

On the other side, the old man and the boy were waiting outside the Ye family mansion for the steward to come back.

The young man glanced at the long line and whispered: "Master, this Lingfengzi is so popular and there are so many people who come to see him, will he meet us?"

The old Taoist glanced at him: "You ask me like that, as if I know."

The young man choked, and said unrelentingly: "Master, I still think it's too risky to ask for a meeting..."

The old man turned a deaf ear, closed his eyes and meditated, with the look of "my ears are not good".

The boy got bored and settled down.

But after a while, he couldn't keep his mouth still, and he spoke enviously:

"He is so popular, how much money can he earn every day? Master, why don't we make friends with dignitaries?"

The old man opened his eyes, thoughtfully: "Is it possible that I hinder you from getting rich?"

"There is this..."

"Huh?"

"Master, I think I still like the feeling of being poor."

"Yeah."

The old man closed his eyes again.

The teenager closed his mouth again.

Not long after, the steward finally came back and said, "Realist Yufeng has agreed, the two priests will come with me."

"It's time to work."

The old Taoist bowed slightly, led his disciples, and entered the Ye family's mansion together with the steward.

A group of people walked forward in the courtyard, passing through the corridor and the courtyard.

The young man quietly approached the old Taoist and whispered: "Master, what will I do later?"

"You don't have to speak, don't make trouble for me."

The old man rolled his eyes.

The boy let out an oh, and closed his mouth obediently.

The old man thought about it, lowered his voice and said:

"If this Lingfengzi is willing to help, that would be the best. If he has other ideas, it will be bad. Be smart later, play by ear... as the teacher, I will use the qi-watching technique to probe him , You only need to take a look at him to know what kind of skill he is. I don't know what kind of technique this Lingfengzi practiced and what methods he has, but unless he knows such amazing skills as concealing energy, he can't fake his skills. "

In this way, a group of people finally arrived at the reception hall.

The steward who led the way asked the two to wait outside the house, went in and made a report by himself, and then came out, guiding with his hand, and said:

"The real person is waiting inside, please come in."

The old Taoist calmed down, raised his guard secretly, and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhou Jing sitting in the main seat, wearing feathers and Taoist crowns and cloud shoes, and his handsome outfit was much more refined than that of a shabby Taoist, so he was curious about the two of them.

Obviously this person is the real master, Lingfengzi, the "True Yufeng".

When the old Taoist saw this, his eyes flashed, and he silently performed the qi technique.

Aura of the Five Elements, Qi of Yin and Evil, Qi of Corpse Evil... All kinds of breaths that cannot be seen by the naked eye show traces in the eyes of the old Taoist.

At this moment, he saw the piercing blue light blooming with Zhou Jing as the center, which was integrated and full of vitality, occupying all his sights.

The old man was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly moved, and subconsciously blurted out:

"Tao follows nature?!"

Zhou Jing was stunned.

What kind of opening remarks is this? Is it possible that serious Taoist priests greet their colleagues like this?

He blinked and tried to return the salute: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable?"

The old Taoist suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Zhou Jing in disbelief, with a look of awe on his face, not daring to take it too seriously, he actually held a respectful junior salute, and solemnly said:

"Wei Zifu of the poor Daoist Qingling sect, this is Li Qingyang, a young apprentice, see the real Taoist."

Recently, he has been listening to Lingfengzi's deeds every day, and his ears have become cocooned. He knows that this person must really have abilities, and he has guessed several possibilities on the way here.

But Wei Zifu never imagined that this Lingfengzi's morality is so high!

The qi of the Xun hexagram wood phase emanates from the inside, and the qi and body are indistinguishable from each other, and they are completely natural.

Only by practicing the five elements and wood phases to an unimaginably high level, can one possess this kind of Taoism. Such characteristics are indeed the profound realm guessed in the Taoist secrets-Taoism follows nature!

He has never seen anyone reach such a state, but he never thought that one day, he would be able to see a real person who possesses this kind of preaching!

But Wei Zifu didn't know, it was a misunderstanding.

When Zhou Jing first fused the Gale Spirit, he possessed some of the characteristics of an elemental body, which is equivalent to a walking human form Gale Spirit, and can be regarded as a large aggregate of wind elements.

However, from the perspective of Qi Wang Technique, it was mistaken for the characteristics of "Taoism follows nature" - not that he really reached this state, but that the appearance characteristics of different supernatural systems were confused, and they hit by mistake.

Zhou Jing didn't know why Wei Zifu had a shocked expression, and he wondered secretly.

For the sake of caution, he quietly opened his elemental vision.

The next moment ~IndoMTL.com~ his senses changed, and he was also surprised to find that Wei Zifu's body was entwined with a faint white air, which felt a bit like a fairy.

As for the young man next to him named Li Qingyang, there was also traces of white air on his body, but it was much thinner.

'Do these two people have other extraordinary systems in this world? ’

Zhou Jing's eyes lit up, and he was very interested.

He quietly opened the panel and spent astral points to miss a detection.

Soon, the attributes of this veteran Wei Zifu emerged:

[Attributes: physical strength 13, resistance 11, perception 18, spirit 15, energy 26]

Zhou Jing was overjoyed and blinked.

"Sure enough, it is a different extraordinary system! This attribute is really... er, balanced?"
