Longevity starts from Yitian

Chapter 15 Meeting Zhou Zhiruo for the First Time

Ji Qinglin nodded, helped him up, and said, "Okay, I won't be polite to you anymore, I will accept your life! But don't worry, I will definitely not let you stay by my side and serve me like this This kind of thing, you are a person with lofty ideals against the violent Yuan, you should boldly go for your own achievements, and if I need it in the future, I will come to you."

This Chang Yuchun is a general who can lead troops to fight, which is the rarest thing in troubled times. Ji Qinglin wants to have him, but it is not appropriate to confine him to his side and bury him. This kind of general who is not born in the world should be given to him fully. Freedom, let him go to work on his own.

In the evening, the four arrived at Taipingdian. Chang Yuchun buried Zhou Ziwang's son, and Ji Qinglin helped Zhou Zhiruo, who was still young, to bury his father's body.

Afterwards, the four of them found an inn in the town, and Ji Qinglin invited Chang Yuchun, Zhang Cuishan and the little girl to have a good meal.

The little girl's new father was very sad, Zhang Cuishan asked her name, and replied: "My surname is Zhou, and my name is Zhiruo."

Ji Qinglin sized her up a few times. At this time, Zhou Zhiruo was still young and hadn't grown up yet, but she could still see that she was a beauty, with a beautiful face and a gentle manner.

Chang Yuchun looked at Zhou Zhiruo, and couldn't help sighing: "I implicated this little girl's father and died under the arrows of those Tartars. I should try to take care of it properly."

However, Zhou Zhiruo looked at Ji Qinglin and said, "Brother, thank you for killing those Tartars to avenge my father, Zhi... Zhiruo has nothing to repay, I would like... to follow you around, serve...serve you for the rest of my life... "

Ji Qinglin shook his head slightly, and said: "Zhiruo, you are a good material for martial arts training, if you become my servant girl, you will really be buried..."

Zhang Cuishan saw Zhou Zhiruo's good looks and temperament, if she followed a member of the Demon Cult like Chang Yuchun...it would be "reckless", and she was about the same age as his beloved son Wuji...it might not be a good candidate for his daughter-in-law in the future, Immediately he thought about it, and said: "Brother Ji is right, let her be a maid, it is really embarrassing... why not... just take this little girl with you, and then go to Wudang Mountain with us, and let her pay homage to Yu Yu. Under Second Brother's sect, Second Brother Yu has the highest martial arts among our Seven Heroes."

Ji Qinglin still shook his head slightly, and said: "No, Wudang faction is all Taoist priests, this is a place where monks stay, Zhiruo joining...it's not convenient after all..."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhou Zhiruo and asked in a gentle voice, "Zhiruo, are you willing to follow me from now on?"

Zhou Zhiruo heard Ji Qinglin say that she wanted to take her in, and it seemed that she didn't mean to be a maidservant. She was immediately moved, she quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks, walked up to Ji Qinglin, prostrated herself, and said, "Thank you, young master, for taking me in!"

At dawn the next day, Ji Qinglin, together with Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Cuishan, broke up with Chang Yuchun and continued to Emei.

Not a day later, the three of them came to the Emei School, and saw a jade statue of a woman standing in front of the gate, looking in the direction of Zhongnan, it seemed to be the statue of Guo Xiang, the founder of Emei.

"Alas...the first time we met at Fengling Ferry, the first time I saw Yang Guo, I missed my life..." Ji Qinglin couldn't help feeling emotional.

Seeing Wudang's Zhang Wuxia coming in person, the Emei disciple guarding the gate did not dare to neglect him, and welcomed him in respectfully. After all, Zhang Wuxia was Zhang Sanfeng's disciple, and Zhang Sanfeng was said to be in the same generation as their Emei ancestor Guo Xiang... , Zhang Wuxia's seniority is simply frighteningly high...

Emei disciples invited Zhang Cuishan, Ji Qinglin, and Zhou Zhiruo to sit in the hall and have a few sips of tea, Miejue Shitai will come in person later.

It seems that Emei's courtesy to Zhang Cuishan is quite high...the head of the sect personally received him...

Not long after, I saw a middle-aged Taoist nun with a strong aura, leading some Emei disciples.

The middle-aged Taoist nun looked about forty years old, her face was like frost, her appearance was very beautiful, her charm was still there, but her temperament was too dignified and solemn.

Seeing this middle-aged Taoist nun coming, Zhang Cuishan hurriedly got up from his seat, cupped his hands and said to her: "Wudang Zhang Cuishan, pay homage to the head of Emei!"

Miejue Shitai smiled slightly, looked at Zhang Cuishan with admiration and regret, and said, "Zhang Wuxia, long time no see. Daoist Zhang is in good health recently. Are you satisfied with the gift given to him at the birthday banquet last time?"

Zhang Wuxia smiled slightly and said: "My master has devoted himself to practicing recently, his body is still strong, and even his martial arts has advanced, last time he was given a gift at the birthday banquet, my master is very satisfied."

Afterwards, he introduced Ji Qinglin and Zhou Zhiruo to Master Miejue.

Miejue Shitai looked at Ji Qinglin, his eyes were full of admiration, and said: "I heard that at the 51th birthday banquet of Master Zhang, Mr. Ji defeated Xian Yutong, the head of Huashan, and exposed all the evil deeds he committed back then. He also took over [-] strokes of Master Kongxing... It's really admirable."

Ji Qinglin smiled slightly, cupped his fists and said, "Master is too famous, these are what warriors of my generation should do."

Afterwards everyone was more polite, Miejue Shitai gradually asked Zhang Cuishan about Xie Xun's whereabouts.

She said: "Zhang Wuxia, I know that you and Xie Xun have sworn brothers with different surnames. This is your own choice, and I don't want to say more, but that Xie Xun killed my lay brother back then. I have to avenge this blood feud. I also ask Zhang Wuxia to inform Xie Xun of his whereabouts because of the friendship between Wudang and Emei for many years."

Ji Qinglin said: "To tell you the truth, my wife, we are here to invite you to come down the mountain and go to Xie Xun's place with us."

When Zhang Cuishan heard it, he immediately wanted to deny what Ji Qinglin said, but remembered that before going to Mount Emei, Ji Qinglin had repeatedly warned him not to interrupt, so he had to hold back for the time being.

Miejue Shitai was slightly surprised. He didn't expect the question to go so smoothly. It was like "someone will give you a pillow when you are sleepy." He looked at Zhang Cuishan and asked, "Zhang Wuxia, are you really willing to take us to find Xie Xun?"

Without waiting for Zhang Cuishan's reply, Ji Qinglin said, "Master, this is not a convenient place to talk, let's change to another place."

Miejue Shitai said: "I have acted openly and aboveboard all my life, and I don't need to deceive others. If Ji Shaoxia has anything to say, just say it directly, here are all my own people."

Ji Qinglin was a little speechless, and said: "...Okay, then according to the teacher's wishes,...Master, I think you also know that the Dragon Slaying Saber and the Yitian Sword... are hidden..."

Miejue Shitai's heart was greatly shaken, he stretched out his hand to stop it, and said: "Wait a minute!"

Afterwards, she hurriedly sent out all the Emei disciples, and then took Ji Qinglin, Zhang Cuishan, and Zhou Zhiruo to her bedroom alone, and locked all the doors and windows tightly...

"Young master Ji, you...you continue to talk." Miejue Shitai said.
