The Wonderful Way

Chapter 95 The Way of Nature
Zhou Li's mother, Mrs. He, was a mortal maid bought by the Zhou family, and entered the Zhou family when she was 11 years old.

In the beginning, Mrs. He only did some rough chores, but she was skillful, diligent and sweet-talking, but after three years, she was taken to the inner courtyard by the steward to serve the wife of the head of the house.

The wife of the head of the family, Zhang Niao, is a descendant of a small family near the Tianji Sect. Her spiritual root aptitude is mediocre. She was only able to build a foundation when she was in her fifties, and her appearance has long since disappeared.

Fortunately, she has two sons with double spiritual roots, and she is backed by the Zhang family, so she still stands up straight in the Zhou family, acting very domineering and arrogant.

He's youthful beauty, innocence and liveliness are in stark contrast to Zhang Niao. Patriarch Zhou naturally noticed He's, and soon the two flirted with each other.

After He Shi became concubine Ji, Zhang Niao only felt angry and ashamed, but he didn't really take her seriously.

Thinking of the fact that the He family is an ordinary person, even if he is young, he is only two years old, so Zhang Niao ignored it and started to practice desperately.

Unexpectedly, He's belly was very upbeat, and soon after becoming Ji's concubine, she became pregnant with Zhou Li, which made the head of the Zhou family overjoyed.

After that, it was like all the dramas where the main wife, Ji and concubines compete for the top. In short, in the end, the He family lost, and took the one-year-old Zhou away to live in a common village.

It wasn't until Zhou Li was five years old that the head of the Zhou family took him back. After measuring the three spiritual roots, he officially took the He family back to the Zhou family.

Zhou Li missed the time limit for the family to send their children to the sect, so Patriarch Zhou had to ask people everywhere, and it took a lot of effort to send Zhou Li to the outer sect to practice.

The He clan was no longer favored. After Zhou Li entered the sect, Zhang Niao quickly drove her back to the village, and Patriarch Zhou didn't say much about it.

Zhou Li grew up under the oppression of his two elder brothers, and he always knew how to stay low and be a small child. He was relieved to think that he would no longer be bullied by Zhang Niao after leaving the Zhou family.

I originally thought that I would practice hard in the Zongmen, and one day I would be able to make it to the top, so that the He family could live a good life at that time.

Unexpectedly, the good times didn't last long, Patriarch Zhou was seriously injured during the training, and was powerless when he returned home, so he called his three sons back with a sigh of relief, and passed away after confessing his last words one by one.

Although the Zhou family is a small family, and the head of the Zhou family is only a monk in the middle stage of alchemy, he has a drunken flute in his hand, which is a psychedelic magic weapon that many people miss.

The Drunk Heart Flute is only an intermediate-level magic weapon, but as long as it is played according to the Drunk Heart Song, the monks who have completed the Lian Dan will fall into a hallucination for about ten breaths.

After Patriarch Zhou passed away, Zhou Yueheng and Zhou Yuesheng searched for Zuixindi everywhere. The two searched through the storage bag left by Patriarch Zhou but found no trace. Finally, they realized that Patriarch Zhou must have given the treasure to Zhou Li.

When the two came to the sect, Zhou Li had already left with Chu Miao, and the two rushed to Tianjifang City, and only then did the previous scene happen.

After Zhou Li finished speaking, he paused for a while, and suddenly, as if making up his mind, he bowed fiercely to Chu Miao.

"Uncle Chu, the Zuixin flute is indeed in my hands, they will not let me go! I am willing to give the treasure to my uncle, please help me!"

Chu Miao lifted him up with a wave of her hands, "I'm just a foundation-building disciple, how can I help you? Didn't you think about this before you came?"

Zhou Li lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, being a national teacher is not my own will, but my father's confession before he died.

I originally thought that I would return immediately when I came to the palace, and take my mother away.

But my mother... She was clearly killed by Mrs. Zhang!I just ask my uncle to help me kill Zhang Niao for revenge!I would like to be an ox and a horse for my uncle from now on! "

Chu Miao met Zhou Li in front of her with red eyes and her breathing became disordered. Immediately, with spiritual power, she slapped him on the top of the head.

The tyrannical Lei Lingli rushed into Zhou Li's body, forcing out a mouthful of turbid blood, only to see his face gradually return to normal.

"I can't help you with this, but I can report to the sect so that they don't dare to act rashly against you, but you can only rely on yourself in the future.

This magic weapon is your father's relic, and it was specially left for you by him, how can you give it to outsiders so easily.

Instead of thinking about relying on others to take revenge, it is better to keep a low profile and practice hard, and there will always be a day when you get what you want in the future.

The task of the secular state teacher can be long or short, and you can return to the clan and change someone in as short as ten years, so you should cultivate your state of mind here. "

Zhou Li finally couldn't help crying loudly, venting out the pain of losing his mother that he had suppressed all the way, and the resentment that he had been hiding for many years.

"You... You should practice hard here, I'll go back to the sect first." Chu Miao really didn't know how to treat this crying young man, so she could only leave the National Teacher Hall with a headache.

Chu Miao thought about Zhou Li's desperate look when she asked her for help, she sighed in her heart, and went back to the Zongmen to tell the deacon of the Disciple Hall.

Not long after the message talisman was sent out, a ray of light flew towards the Zhou family at high speed.

Seeing this, Chu Miao no longer took it to heart, and brought Pei Jue's body to a small shop in Tianjifang City.

The shop of Pei's family is very small, so small that it is not as profitable as the monks who set up a stall in Tianjifang City.

As soon as Chu Miao stepped into the store, she saw a middle-aged female cultivator who had perfected her Qi training and greeted her.

"Pei Ling has seen the senior, but I don't know if the senior came to the shop, but do you have something to order?"

Pei's shop only had items used by monks in the Qi refining period, so Pei Ling was very puzzled when she saw Chu Miao.

"Your name is Pei Ling? Who are you, Pei Jue?"

"Pei Jue is the elder brother of this junior? But my elder brother went to the secular world a few years ago, why did the senior find him?"

It was only then that Chu Miao realized that she still had to be the person who reported the funeral, and she felt even more uncomfortable. She didn't know how to express this kind of sad news in a more tactful way.

Seeing that Chu Miao was silent, Pei Ling became a little nervous, and various thoughts flashed through her mind.

Chu Miao paused for a long time before bluntly speaking: "I received a mission in the sect to pick up your brother's body. Your brother has fallen."

Hearing this, Pei Ling's lips trembled slightly, and a layer of mist slowly formed in her eyes, "Junior...Thank you senior." After speaking, her voice choked up, and she couldn't speak anymore.

Chu Miao was also very uncomfortable, and handed over the coffin to Pei Ling, and hurriedly left Pei's small shop.

On the way back to the sect, Chu Miao kept walking forward, trying to dissipate the sadness in her heart.

She is very clear that there will be more life and death encounters during the journey of cultivation. Before each occurrence, she thought that she had experienced enough and would not be saddened by it anymore.

Only then did she realize that no matter how high her cultivation level or state of mind is, she would still feel sad when the people around her left.

What she cultivates is not the way of ruthlessness, neither is it ruthless, why should she ask herself to be indifferent to anyone and anything?
The way she seeks is to follow her heart and be natural. Whether she is pitiful for Zhou Li or sad for Pei Jue, they are all emotions from her heart, so why should she suppress them?
Human beings have the seven emotions and six desires. The cleaning up of the seven emotions and six desires mentioned in Taoism is not to suppress blindly, but not to be angry when encountering things that should not be angry, and not to be sad when encountering things that should not be sad.

If you are easily dominated by the seven emotions, you will indeed lose your concentration, but if you are completely indifferent to the world, there will be no cracks in your state of mind at first glance, but how can you realize the continuous improvement of the world.

Chu Miao suddenly became enlightened, and she felt a bright light in her heart. Looking at the spiritual energy slowly surging around her, she smiled slightly, and walked towards the Zongmen at a slow pace.
