At this time, Wei Tu's appearance was no longer that of a teenager, but he still looked like a young man in his thirties, with a vigorous appearance. But he has gray skin and gray hair, and has age spots on his body. This contrast. Although Shi Zhen has been in the officialdom for a long time and has experienced the ups and downs of the world, he can't help but sigh. "Brother Shi, why can you still remember Wei's appearance after so many years?" Wei Tu expressed the questions in his heart. Although he and Shi Zhen were of the same age, they only met each other once. He couldn't understand why, after so many years, Shi Zhen could still remember his appearance and recognize him from the crowd at a glance. "Brother Wei, you deliberately failed in the competition back then. Although your acting was good and you could deceive most people, you couldn't deceive me...the person you really fought against..." Hearing Wei Tu's question, most of the sentimental look on Shi Zhen's face disappeared. He stroked his beard and smiled and explained.
Just Wei Tu's clumsiness during the test was not enough for him to remember Wei Tu. What really made him remember Wei Tu was the more than 20 years of officialdom suppression he experienced after being robbed of his leadership position by You Hong. If Wei Tu didn't hide his clumsiness back then, then what happened to him in the first half of his life was probably Wei Tu's fault. Had this experience. How could he not remember Wei Tu unforgettably. "At that time, although I could clearly distinguish my grudges, I still had some complaints against Brother Wei... I thought you missed my official career." "But now, it's gone. In my twilight years, meeting you two, Brother Wei and Brother Fu, is a pleasure in life." Shi Zhen shook his head and smiled. Next, he asked the old servant to drive aside, spread a felt, and sit on the ground. Then he invited Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou to sit with him and talk about the past. The open-mindedness on Shi Zhen's face made Wei Tu think that he was not pretending. After all, Shi Zhen was already in his dying years. The words of a dying person are also good. After thinking for a moment, Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou got off their horses and sat across from each other in front of Shi Zhen. Shi Zhen knew the rules, so he didn't ask Wei Tu about the secrets of the Xian family. He invited the two of them over to talk about old times, mainly talking about his experiences over the years. Narrated by Shi Zhen. Only then did Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou realize that the Shannan Road Rebellion more than forty years ago was not only an opportunity for them, but also an opportunity for Shi Zhen to change his life. After the Taoist examination, Shi Zhen was suppressed by the You family, a wealthy Shannan Taoist family, and was made a county captain in a remote rural area. However, that's exactly why. Baihua County, where Shi Zhen was located, was not immediately occupied by the anti-king rebels.
After feeling that the overall situation was not good, Shi Zhen gathered all the county soldiers, mobilized the people, formed a Qinwang army, and rushed to Qingfeng Mansion for rescue. I don’t know whether it was good luck or bad luck. When Shi Zhen led his army to Qingfeng Mansion, Qingfeng Mansion had already fallen... Later, Shi Zhen came to Luonan Road. During the tug-of-war between Fengguo and Zhengguo, Shi Zhen repeatedly made extraordinary achievements and gradually rose in rank. Today, Shi Zhen has reached the rank of fourth-grade military attaché, in charge of the military preparations of the two mansions. "If I hadn't met Brother Wei and Brother Fu, Shi would have thought that my life would be okay, but after meeting these two brothers..." Having said this, Shi Zhen's cheerful expression became a little more sad. From being a humble warrior to becoming a fourth-grade military attache, his life can be regarded as extremely legendary among ordinary people. Local chronicles and even official history books may record his deeds. Let him leave his name in history. but-- Compare it with Wei and Tu. He is much inferior. Monks are far beyond the comparison of dignitaries and dignitaries. The two are not in the same world. "Brother Wei, I'm shy... I want to seek a fairy fate for my descendants. Is that okay?" Before leaving, Shi Zhen bowed deeply to Wei Tu and said. "Can." Wei Tu nodded in agreement. To him, this request was just a small favor and there was no need to refuse. Shi Zhen, who is the same age as him, can be considered acquaintance. Wei Tu asked Shi Zhen to get pen and paper. Then, he used his spiritual power and wrote down the Immortal Cultivation Technique "Five Yuan Yun Spirit Body" obtained from Wu Yun Tower on the paper. After finishing writing the exercises. Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou didn't stay long. They mounted their fast horses and galloped towards Baishi Lake. "really hope……" "A younger generation can show me what this Immortal Road is for me." Shi Zhen took a steady look at the departing figures of Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou, and sighed. … Seven days later.
Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou came to Baishi Lake and met Wei Fei, who had already arrived. The three of them crossed Baishi Lake and climbed the mountain road behind Baishi Lake. Unlike Taixuanzong's mountain gate, which is located elsewhere, the mountain gate of Jingshui Pavilion is located in the back mountain of Baishi Hufang City. Arrive at the gate of Jingshui Pavilion. Wei Tu took out the invitation from Kou Hongying and handed it to the disciple on duty. "Fellow Daoist Wei, please wait a moment." After the disciple on duty saw Kou Hongying's words of respect for Wei Tu on the invitation, his attitude changed from casual to respectful. A quarter of an hour later. A woman in pink clothes stepped on a magic weapon and flew into the air, landing in front of Wei Tu and the others. "Kou Zhenren is not available for the time being, so I will take the three fellow Taoists to the Jinyu Tower." The woman in pink bowed and said. Hear this. Just now, Fu Zhizhou, who was still happy about Kou Hongying's foundation building, suddenly lost his smile and changed slightly. The three of them are Kou Hongying's elders. Kou Hongying was able to build the foundation this time without the help of the three of them. Kou Hongying didn't welcome them personally, which meant he was neglecting the three of them. See this scene. Wei Tu shook his head. He patted Fu Zhizhou's shoulder calmly, signaling him not to pay attention. "Please ask the fairy to lead the way." Wei Tu bowed his hands. The woman in pink nodded slightly, stepped forward to lead the way, and acted as a guide, explaining to Wei Tu and the others the origin of the scenery along the way to Jingshui Pavilion. Different from the neat and dense buildings in Fangshi, the buildings in Jingshui Pavilion are mostly in harmony with the scenery. Buildings are scattered among the mountain peaks as decorations. Along the way. The beautiful women are as dense as a forest, blooming like a sea of flowers, which makes people dizzy. Wei Tu watched for a while, and like Fu Zhizhou, he calmed down and concentrated on walking. Wei Tu was about to remind Wei Fei to be careful and not lose face here. ——Wei Fei and Wu Xianshi went to find fellow Taoist Yao. He still remembers it and has not forgotten it. Unexpectedly, when Wei Tu looked at Wei Fei, he found that Wei Fei's performance was the same as that of him and Fu Zhizhou, not making a fool of himself. It's just that the face is a little white.
"It seems that the second brother also knows the seriousness of the matter." Wei Tu thought to himself. Not a moment. Wei Tu and three others arrived at Jinyu Tower. Jinyu Tower is the dojo of Kou Hongying's master, Qin Zhenren, and Kou Hongying's foundation-building celebration was held here. This building is located near the lakeside. It has seven floors and is dozens of feet high. Under the sun, the Jinyu Tower, made of gold and wood as beams and beautiful jade as bricks, is like a glazed tower, emitting golden light and shining brightly. Wei Tu and three others entered the tower. The moment they entered the tower, dozens of monks waiting on the first floor immediately cast their gaze over. There was mostly curiosity in his eyes. Mixed with some contempt. Judging from their attire, Wei Tu and the others were clearly not from Jingshui Pavilion. ——Jingshui Pavilion is a sect dominated by female cultivators, but there are also many male cultivators in its sect. Just when the cultivators on the first floor were about to ask. At this time, a girl in a blue dress with a beautiful posture and cool temperament slowly walked down the steps at the connection between the floors. The cultivators immediately fell silent, lowered their heads, looked respectful, and said, "Master Kou." This person is Kou Hongying. Kou Hongying nodded and said "no courtesy". "Uncle Wei, Uncle Fu..." "And Uncle Wei..." Kou Hongying came over, bowed slightly to Wei Tu and the others, and said hello. "He's actually Kou Zhenren's elder?" All the cultivators were astonished. Just now, although they had no hostility towards Wei Tu and the other three, they felt quite contemptuous of them. After all, compared to the disciples of the Immortal Sect, the casual cultivators outside were nothing. … Kou Hongying showed up and welcomed Wei Tu and the others to the fourth floor of Jinyu Tower. This is where Kou Hongying actually receives her relatives and friends. "Just now, my nephew heard that three uncles were coming, and he wanted to go out to greet him in person... Unexpectedly, a senior brother came to the door. In order to avoid this senior brother, he asked Junior Sister Gong to greet him on his behalf..." After arranging Wei Tu and the others to take their seats, Kou Hongying seemed to know that her arrangements today were not appropriate, so Chuanyin explained.
Hear this. The expressions of the three people from Wei and Tu softened slightly. Shao Qing, there are a few more guests on the fourth floor of Jinyu Tower. These people are all acquaintances of Kou Hongying, and most of them are near the late stage of Qi training. The party is halfway through. Wei Tu heard that these guests were secretly discussing him, Fu Zhizhou, and Wei Fei. However, the words of these people were not mocking, but revealed their deep admiration for Kou Hongying. "According to common sense, if Junior Sister Kou builds the foundation, even if she has the help of Senior Uncle, it will take at least twenty or thirty years..." "This is all thanks to the help of these elders of Junior Sister Kou, doing tasks on their behalf and earning sect contribution points." "It would be great if I had these elders who are worthy of my trust." The words flowed into the ears of Wei Tu and the others. Listen to this. The wariness that Wei Tu and the other three had against Kou Hongying has weakened a lot. If Kou Hongying is really a "heartless" person and throws away the three of them after using them...then she will definitely not publicize this matter among her relatives and friends in Jingshui Pavilion... … Half an hour later. Let's have a feast. Kou Hongying stood up and personally escorted Wei Tu and the others out of Jingshui Pavilion. "Today, my nephew has been promoted to Foundation Establishment. He will never break the promise he made to his two uncles more than 20 years ago. Please rest assured, Uncle Wei and Uncle Fu." While talking, Kou Hongying took out a jade slip from her sleeve and handed it to Wei Tu. "This is some experience I gained from breaking through the foundation building stage. Although it is not valuable, it is also a piece of my nephew's heart." "If Uncle Fu and Uncle Wei are in need of this foundation building experience, they can ask Uncle Wei to make a copy." she said. "besides." "Uncle Wei, I still have some unused elixir for foundation building." "I'll give it to you." After hesitating for a moment, Kou Hongying patted the storage bag, took out a jade box, and handed it to Wei Tu. "Inside this jade box is half a thousand-year-old snow lotus, which was given to me by my master."
"It has a miraculous effect on foundation building." "Uncle Wei, please remember not to tell others, so as not to cause accidents to yourself!" Kou Hongying said in a voice message.
