Chapter 3847
"Daoist Xiao's Confucian cultivation is indeed extraordinary!"
Zhu Cheng puts down his teacup and says with a smile, "Although my Zhu family's Clear Heart Tea is good, without someone like Daoist Xiao who understands the true essence of Confucian cultivation, how can you taste it?"
Xiao Hua waves his hand and says, "Fellow Immortal Zhu, you flatter me. I only have a feeling occasionally. It's nothing. Compared to your family with a long history, it's far inferior."
"Alas, how is the current Zhu family still a Confucian family?"
Zhu Cheng bitterly smiles and shakes his head. Then, as if he has thought of something, he stands up and says respectfully, "Daoist Xiao, please come this way!"
"Oh?"
Xiao Hua is slightly surprised. He follows Zhu Cheng to the hall next door. This is also a hall, but it's slightly smaller than the previous one. This hall is even more simple and crude, with only one incense burner table.
On the wall behind the incense burner table, in the same position as the hall, but a bit lower, there is also a portrait of Xiao Hua who is standing with his hands behind his back.
Xiao Hua in the portrait is vivid and lifelike. His eyes are filled with determination and compassion. The Daoist robe he is wearing is the one he was wearing when he saved Zhu Cheng that day.
When Xiao Hua sees this, he immediately understands what Zhu Cheng wants to do.
Sure enough, Zhu Cheng takes out a rather old-looking red chair and respectfully places it in front of the incense burner table. He says softly, "Benefactor, I greeted you before to welcome you. Now, I would like to invite you to take a seat. My family would like to thank you for your kindness."
"That's inappropriate, that's inappropriate!"
Xiao Hua waves his hand and says, "I didn't mean to save you. Moreover, fellow Immortal also paid me back that day. After I accept it, we are even.
Now, there is no need to make such a big fuss. "
Zhu Cheng says with a smile, "Benefactor is wrong.
That day, benefactor saved me and a dozen of my family members. I used the Zhu family's ancestral treasure to repay you. On one hand, I was really grateful at that time and wanted to give the best thing of my Zhu family to benefactor. On the other hand, to be honest, my Zhu family has been dragged down for tens of thousands of years because of that treasure. I was tortured in prison, so I also wanted to leave and throw it away.
Giving it to benefactor is really a bit of a misfortune. Thinking about it, I feel very guilty.
However, fortunately, it seems that benefactor didn't feel burdened because of it. I feel a bit relieved. "
"Indeed!"
Hearing Zhu Cheng's words, Xiao Hua also felt a bit strange and asked, "This Xiao has never met anyone from a scholarly family who has come to ask about this item. Since your Zhu Family has been forced by other families, why haven't they come to this Xiao?"
Zhu Cheng thought for a moment and smiled bitterly. "Maybe they don't believe the authenticity of the news!
Or perhaps their benefactor's whereabouts were uncertain and they couldn't find him in a short time!
Or perhaps … they just don't want this thing to fall into the hands of my Zhu Clan. As for the Dao Sect, they don't care? "
"Yes, of course!"
Xiao Hua nodded slightly. After rescuing Li Xiang from the Copper Pillar State, he hadn't stayed in the Black Wind Ridge for long. Later, the Black Wind Ridge was flattened by Sun Jian's troops, and those scholarly families couldn't find any traces of him.
Of course, it was more likely that they did not believe the news and did not believe in the existence of the Enlightenment of Heavenly Writing. Otherwise, they would have followed Duanmu Liang Sheng to the Misty Mountain Maze Formation.
"Of course, this is nothing!"
Zhu Cheng said solemnly. "What I want to thank our benefactor the most is that you lifted the curse of my Zhu Clan."
"Oh … I understand!" Xiao Hua nodded and smiled. "So Fellow Immortal Zhu is here for this!"
"That's right!"
Zhu Cheng said respectfully. "Compared to the grace of being saved by our benefactor, this grace is completely beneficial to my Zhu Clan's descendants. If we don't enshrine our benefactor's portrait, if we don't pay our respects to our benefactor, my Zhu Clan won't have the face to exist in this world."
"Forget it …" Xiao Hua nodded. "If I refuse again, I'll be hypocritical."
"Benefactor, please take a seat." Zhu Cheng respectfully invited Xiao Hua to sit. Then, everyone knelt at Xiao Hua's feet according to their status.
Not only that, but in a moment, the Zhu Clan's descendants also came forward and knelt down to kowtow to Xiao Hua to show their gratitude for breaking the curse.
Although everyone in the Zhu Clan had to thank Xiao Hua, the Zhu Clan was indeed in decline. In less than an hour, everyone had finished paying their respects. Then, Zhu Cheng invited Xiao Hua to take a seat in the hall.
What surprised Xiao Hua was that Zhu Xiang didn't appear. The old man who was looking for You Zhongquan also didn't come back.
After Xiao Hua sat down again, Zhu Cheng poured tea for him and asked curiously, "Actually, there's something I don't understand. I'd like to ask our benefactor."
"Hehe, do you want to ask me how I knew that the Zhu Clan's descendants were cursed?" Xiao Hua said with a smile.
"Indeed!"
Zhu Cheng nodded. "Where the curse of my Zhu Clan came from and when it came from, even I don't know!
What's more, about the curse of my Zhu Clan … my ancestors never told anyone about it. How did you know?
Moreover … this curse was extremely insidious. My Zhu Clan tried everything to break it, but couldn't.
All the men's cultivation was restricted and all the women suffered. Our benefactor saved my Zhu Clan from the abyss of suffering with just a few medicinal pills!
I won't hide it from our benefactor. Perhaps I won't be able to see the rise of the Zhu Clan in my lifetime, but without the curse, my Zhu Clan will return to the top of the list of scholarly families sooner or later!
How did our benefactor get such a miraculous medicinal pill? "
"Haha!"
Xiao Hua laughed. He looked into Zhu Cheng's eyes and said word by word, "Perhaps you'll know about this in the future. However, at this time … forgive me for not being able to speak frankly!"
"Hehe, it doesn't matter!"
Zhu Cheng said with a smile. "No matter what, our benefactor is our Zhu Clan's benefactor. It doesn't matter whether I know or not."
While they were talking, an indescribable cold wind suddenly blew in from outside the hall. Not to mention the other Zhu Clan disciples in the hall, even Zhu Cheng trembled and raised his head to look outside.
However, after a short while, the cold wind passed and everything returned to normal. There wasn't anything particularly strange about it.
Zhu Cheng's complexion returned to normal. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Hua said with a smile, "Fellow Immortal Zhu, what's going on with Wuyuan County?
The ghost that the old man spoke of … what's going on? "
Hearing Xiao Hua ask about Wuyuan County, Zhu Cheng's face became sad. He said in a low voice, "I'm also very clear about the situation in Wuyuan County.
Not only Wuyuan County, but Jingyue County and Fanchang County had also become ghost towns. Many people had starved to death in this disaster, and there were even more people who had committed inhumane acts in order to survive. For example, cannibalism could be found everywhere!
Alas, not to mention these three counties, even the entire Feng Xiang Country is covered in disasters. Even if we're cultivators, it's extremely difficult to fight against the heavens!
The Immortal Palace is the head of the Confucian cultivators in the Hidden Immortal Continent. In these past few years, the Immortal Emperor has repeatedly issued Immortal Decrees, ordering the officials of the Rain Tribe to rain rain everywhere to quell the disasters. However, the promised favorable weather has never appeared … "
"Of course, when benefactor mentioned Wuyuan County, I also feel ashamed!
Wuyuan County is the foundation of my Zhu Clan. This Zhu Clan Manor used to be the pride of Wuyuan County.
Unfortunately, the current Zhu Clan is far from the previous Zhu Clan. Even if I want to help the people of Wuyuan County, I don't have the strength to spare!
When benefactor came to my Zhu Clan Manor, you must've already seen the barrier blocking the main road. In fact, at the very beginning, when the disaster just started, I often gave away food at the manor. However, in the end … Not only did my Zhu Clan run out of food, I was also powerless to deal with the vagrants attacking my Zhu Clan Manor. Therefore, I had no choice but to use this method … "
Xiao Hua looked at Zhu Cheng and raised his hand with a smile. He took out a Qiankun Pouch and handed it to Zhu Cheng, saying, "In that case, these are for you. Can you … tell the truth?"
"Ah?
This … this much? "
Zhu Cheng knew that Xiao Hua had food in his hands. However, when he received the Qiankun Pouch, his expression changed greatly.
Just as he said, cultivators have great magical abilities and boundless magic power. However, to be able to make so much food appear out of thin air has already surpassed the scope of magic power.
Xiao Hua retracted his smile, narrowed his eyes, and lightly said: "This amount of food is enough to solve the disaster in Wuyuan County. This Xiao's strength alone is insufficient, so it is difficult for me to distribute it fairly. I presume that Zhu Family is much more skillful than this Xiao. This matter will be left to Zhu Family."
"Yes, I understand. I thank Daoist Xiao for his great kindness on behalf of all the people of Wuyuan County!" Zhu Cheng hastily stood up and saluted Xiao Hua again.
Xiao Hua's face didn't have much of a smile. When Zhu Cheng stood up, he said indifferently, "Zhu Cheng, you're really too polite today!
However, if you really treat me as your benefactor, why are you hiding something from me? "
"Benefactor …" Zhu Cheng's face revealed an awkward expression. He was still somewhat hesitant.
Xiao Hua sighed and said, "When I came here, I knew that Zhu Clan was the master. Therefore, I respected Zhu Clan very much and didn't release my divine sense to investigate.
If Fellow Daoist Zhu doesn't want to tell me, do you want me to investigate it myself? "
"Big Brother …" Just when Zhu Cheng was hesitating whether or not to speak, an untimely voice came from outside. Soon after, the old man who flew away to find You Zhongquan flew back. As soon as he landed, he hastily shouted, "Jin 'er, he …"
However, when he saw Xiao Hua sitting on the seat of honor, he also had some misgivings. He looked at Zhu Cheng and wanted to send a sound transmission, but he didn't dare.
"Speak …" Xiao Hua said coldly, "Unless you don't speak. Even if you send a sound transmission, I can still hear it!"
"Speak …" Zhu Cheng waved his hand and helplessly ordered.
"Daoist Xiao!"
The old man hastily said, "The You Zhongquan you're looking for should have been invited by Jin 'er. Several months ago, he came from Yifeng Country to our Zhu Clan Manor. I've already asked the servants who take care of Jin' er's daily life."
When he heard that You Zhongquan had already been in Zhu Clan Manor for several months and he didn't know, Zhu Cheng's face became somewhat unsightly.
However, the old man's next words shocked him greatly.
"At this time, You Zhongquan and more than ten other young juniors … under Jin 'er's lead … have already entered the Youwang Ghost Cave!"
"Ah?" Zhu Cheng exclaimed, "You … you didn't catch up?" (Do you want to know more exciting developments in "The Legend of the Cultivation God"?
