Chapter 3846

Under the light of the lantern, several zhang away from Xiao Hua, there is a simple barrier made of stones and sacks erected there. Behind the barrier is a deep pit. Several men dressed in martial attire jumped out of the pit with steel blades and other weapons in their hands and lanterns in their hands. They walk very cautiously towards Xiao Hua.

"I am Xiao Hua, Daoist name is Daoist Master Xiao!"

Xiao Hua is not like ordinary cultivators who ignore these worldly servants and directly release their divine sense to lure Zhu Cheng out. Instead, he indifferently announces his name.

"You … you are Daoist Master Xiao??"

These men have obviously heard of Xiao Hua's name. Hearing Xiao Hua announce his name, they are shocked. They slightly raise their lanterns, wanting to see clearly.

"Ghost!!"

Before these men can see Xiao Hua's appearance, the old man next to Xiao Hua screams and collapses on the ground.

"Ghost?" The old man collapses. How can the group of servants still care about Xiao Hua's appearance?

They all shout, throw their lanterns on the ground, retreat in panic, or brandish their steel blades in an attempt to defend.

"Hmph …" Xiao Hua coldly snorts, "This is only this old man's illusion technique. Where did this ghost come from?"

Xiao Hua flicks his hand and a fireball flies into the air, illuminating the surrounding several zhang.

"Oh, it really is Daoist Master Xiao."

"It is Daoist Master Xiao. This little one has seen a portrait of Daoist Master at the young master's place!"

"This little one has even kowtowed in front of Daoist Master Xiao's portrait!"

Several servants started to shout at the same time, but no one dared to step forward.

Although the old man understands that this is Xiao Hua's illusion technique, he was so scared that he collapsed on the ground. How can he stand up?

"Who is here … oh, isn't … isn't this Daoist Master Xiao?"

Just as they are talking, from the darkness of Zhu Jia Village, an old man over forty years old in embroidered clothes flies over. When the old man sees Xiao Hua, he immediately shouts in surprise. He lands in front of Xiao Hua and bows, "This one is Zhu Changxing, greetings benefactor."

Xiao Hua has already seen this old man's appearance. He should be one of the Zhu Jia disciples he rescued from the prison of the Copper Pillar State more than twenty years ago.

At this moment, he smiles and helps Zhu Changxing up, "Get up. Is Zhu Cheng in the village?"

"My family head is in the villa!"

Zhu Changxing stood up and said happily, "If he knows that you are visiting, he will definitely … Oh, please wait a moment, I will ask the family head to come out and welcome you!"

"No need …" Just as Xiao Hua was about to stop him, Zhu Changxing had already waved his hand. A two-colored True Qi that was like a rainbow flew into the air, transforming into a rainbow bridge that fell into the villa.

"Weng …" As the rainbow bridge fell, a slight rumbling sound came from inside the villa. A scroll flew out carrying several Confucian scholars. Several rays of clear light swept over Xiao Hua and the others, then fell on Xiao Hua's face. In front of Xiao Hua, a voice familiar to Xiao Hua cried out, "Xiao … Daoist Xiao!!!"

"Haha, Old Master Zhu, it's been almost twenty years since we last met. You're still as elegant as ever!" Xiao Hua smiled as he walked over and cupped his hands in greeting.

The person in front of him was naturally Zhu Cheng. However, at this time, Zhu Cheng looked somewhat old, far from a Confucian expert who had refined his qi and returned to the divine.

"Daoist Xiao is the real immortal!"

Zhu Cheng activated the scroll and brought everyone down. He walked a few steps and was about to kneel down. He said, "I often thought of Daoist, but I really didn't expect that Daoist would come today. Even more so, I didn't expect that Daoist's appearance hadn't changed at all."

How could Xiao Hua let Zhu Cheng kneel down? He hastily helped him up, and the people behind Zhu Cheng who were about to kneel down were also helped up by Xiao Hua. Xiao Hua smiled again and said, "I was also passing by because of some troublesome matters. I thought of the past and specially came to see Old Master Zhu."

"I don't dare, I don't dare. Daoist can just call me Zhu Cheng. I don't deserve this title in front of Daoist." Zhu Cheng hastily waved his hand.

"Then call me Fellow Immortal Zhu!" Xiao Hua said with a smile.

"I'll listen to Daoist's instructions!"

Zhu Cheng hastily smiled. He looked at the old man on the ground, the donkey cart and the children behind Xiao Hua, then asked, "Daoist, what's the troublesome matter?

I wonder if I can help you? "

"Haha, let me ask you, did your Zhu Family Village have You Zhongquan from Yifeng Country of Yu Province come to visit?" Xiao Hua asked with a smile.

"Yu Province?

You Zhongquan? "

Zhu Cheng frowned and shook his head slightly, "I don't know this Fellow Immortal. Where did Daoist hear this from?"

"Where's Zhu Xiang?

This You Zhongquan is about the same age as Zhu Xiang! "Xiao Hua explained.

"Jin 'er is studying hard in the study!

I've never heard of anyone coming to visit him! "Zhu Cheng shook his head even more.

At this time, an old man behind Zhu Cheng hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Big Brother, Jin 'er he …"

"What about him?" Zhu Cheng was startled. He turned his head and said, "He's not in the study?"

"Jin 'er should be in the study of Qilan Courtyard. However, just as Daoist Xiao said, he did invite some old friends to come to my Zhu Family Village …"

"This damned unfilial son …" Zhu Cheng was furious when he heard this, but when he looked at Xiao Hua, he suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "I've let Daoist see a joke.

My unfilial son invited some old friends behind my back. The You Zhongquan that Daoist spoke of is probably among them. "

Seeing Zhu Cheng's appearance, Xiao Hua immediately understood how Zhu Xiang's indecisive character was formed.

However, he couldn't say too much. He smiled and said, "Daoist Zhu, please help me confirm."

"Okay, Daoist Xiao, please wait a moment. I'll be right back!"

The old man behind Zhu Cheng agreed. He flew into the air and landed inside the Zhu Family Village. Zhu Cheng opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask something, but closed it again.

Xiao Hua looked at this thoughtfully. In fact, if he didn't care about Zhu Cheng's face and released his divine sense, how could he not see it?

However, since the Zhu Family people didn't use divine sense techniques to send messages, maybe there was something fishy about it. Xiao Hua was happy to go with the flow.

"Also …" Xiao Hua pointed at the old man beside him and explained, "I met this person when I was passing by Wuyuan County. I don't know his name, but seeing how pitiful he is, I ask Daoist Zhu to take him in."

"Of course, of course!"

Zhu Cheng was deeply touched by Xiao Hua's kindness. He didn't think it was strange at all and hurriedly replied, "This is just a small matter for me. It's nothing."

"Thank you Master Zhu, thank you Daoist Xiao …" The old man was finally able to stand up and hurriedly kowtowed again.

Xiao Hua smiled and helped the old man up. "Now you won't say I'm a ghost, right?"

While speaking, Xiao Hua slightly paid attention to Zhu Cheng's expression. Sure enough, Zhu Cheng's eyebrows jumped and his eyes flashed with panic.

"I don't dare, I don't dare!

It's all my fault … "The old man bowed to Xiao Hua and said with a smile.

"Hey, where did you get this grain?"

At this time, Zhu Cheng's gaze fell on the donkey cart behind Xiao Hua. He looked at the grain beside the child and asked in surprise.

The old man looked at the grain on the cart and thought of the grain left on the roadside. He said with a regretful tone, "This was all given by Daoist Xiao!

Just now, Daoist Xiao scattered a lot of it in Wuyuan County! "

"Daoist Xiao …" Zhu Cheng turned to look at Xiao Hua and asked carefully, "This grain … how much do you have?"

"Hehe, I came to Zhu Family Village from afar and haven't had a sip of hot tea …" Xiao Hua said with a smile.

Zhu Cheng's face slightly reddened. He hurriedly bowed and said, "It's all my fault. Daoist Xiao, please …"

"Okay!" Xiao Hua nodded. "Fellow Daoist Zhu, please lead the way!"

Light clouds appeared under Zhu Cheng's feet. He led Xiao Hua and a group of Zhu Family disciples into Zhu Family Village. As for the old man who didn't say his name in the end, he was also led by two guards into Zhu Family Village. Presumably, with the protection of Zhu Family, he wouldn't have to worry about making a living in the future.

The entire Zhu Family Village didn't have any origin formation protecting it. It was no different from an ordinary village. Xiao Hua followed Zhu Cheng and landed in a guest hall.

The hall was rather simple. Apart from a few tables and chairs, there were only some flowers and trees. There was no other decoration.

At the head of the hall, there was a portrait hanging on the wall. The scroll of the portrait looked old, but it was unusually spotless. Faintly, there was a layer of extremely dim treasure light emitting from the portrait.

Xiao Hua's gaze fell on the portrait. He looked at the old man wearing Confucian robes and a Confucian crown. He had a serene expression and clear eyes, as if he understood everything in the world.

He already understood that this must be the famous Great Confucian Zhu Xi of Zhu Family.

Therefore, without waiting for Zhu Cheng to say anything, Xiao Hua stepped forward and bowed. "Junior Xiao Hua greets Senior Zhu Xi."

Zhu Cheng and the other Zhu Family disciples were gratified. They hurriedly tidied their clothes and retreated to the side. They bowed back and said, "Thank you, Daoist Xiao …"

After the greeting, Zhu Cheng invited Xiao Hua to sit at the guest seat at the table under the portrait. He accompanied Xiao Hua on the other side. When someone brought fragrant tea, Zhu Cheng personally poured a cup for Xiao Hua and said with a smile, "Daoist Xiao is a Daoist Senior. You usually drink spirit tea. I don't have any good tea here. This is fragrant tea that I personally went to Maocheng Mountain to pick and stir-fry last year. Although it can't compare to the spirit tea of Daoist Sect and perhaps not to the tea of Cha Nu Country, it is superior in that it was made with the zhenqi of my Confucian Cultivator. Daoist Xiao can taste it."

Xiao Hua smiled and raised his cup. He took a sip, but he felt that there was a kind of bitterness in it. This bitterness didn't turn into sweetness like the spirit tea. Moreover, when the tea entered his stomach, it didn't turn into any zhenqi. He knew that it was as Zhu Cheng said.

But just as Xiao Hua was about to put down the fragrant tea, his heart skipped a beat and he took another sip. He felt the bitterness at the tip of his tongue faintly release some layers. After tasting it a little more carefully, there were actually some mixed feelings. He unconsciously took another sip, letting the tea overflow in his mouth for a moment before swallowing it into his stomach.

"Good!"

Xiao Hua put down the teacup and praised, "The path of Confucian Cultivator emphasizes the tempering of the world. If you don't experience the various states of the world, you won't understand the essence of the Noble Spirit.

Zhu Family is worthy of being the descendant of a great Confucian Cultivator. Just from a cup of tea, you can make people taste so much. Old Sage Zhu is really amazing. "
