Chapter 174 The Aftermath

Old man Zhou is the surrogate son-in-law of the Liu family and has three opportunities to enter the Liu family's Scripture Pavilion.

He has used it twice over the years and still has one.

Before he died, Old Man Zhou's last words were to give Li Qing his third chance to enter the Sutra Pavilion. The only condition was that he would take care of Old Man Zhou's descendants in the Liu family.

"I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with the eccentric old man Zhou, that he even gave up this precious opportunity to you!"

Jinchuan looked at Li Qing with envy, but he quickly sighed: "Old man Zhou is also pitiful. There are so many descendants, but no one with spiritual roots has been born yet."

"I guess he wanted to leave this opportunity to enter the Sutra Pavilion to his descendants who have spiritual qualifications. Who would have thought that something like this would happen."

Hearing this, Li Qing's eyes became very complicated, and he asked:

"Who brought the last words back?"

Jinchuan answered directly: "Of course it was the monk from the Liu family who was in the late stage of Qi refining. Three of them went to ambush the flying eagle bandit. As a result, old man Zhou died on the spot. The other casual cultivator was seriously injured and did not survive for a long time. Only the Liu family member The monk returned with minor injuries."

When Li Qing heard this, he couldn't help but clenched his fists and remained silent.

Seeing Li Qing's expression, Jinchuan shook his head, and finally patted Li Qing on the shoulder. He said, "Okay, I'll end it now. The Liu family will probably send someone to find you later, so you can take care of yourself. "

After saying that, Jinchuan turned and left with a sigh on his face.

Death is like a lamp going out.

No one expected that the group of robbery cultivators from the Flying Eagle Bandits would actually give birth to a second cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining.

However, this is also a natural thing in the world of cultivation. While your cultivation is improving, others cannot always stand still.

In the end, all I can say is that things are impermanent.

Li Qing's mood was a little depressed. Old Man Zhou was kind to him, and he even benefited from it even after his death.

"well!"

With a long sigh, Li Qing carried a jar of winter plum wine and arrived at Old Man Zhou's yard as usual.

Courtyard C, No. 16, the restrictions in the courtyard have been closed.

The Liu family has sent people over to collect the things left by Old Man Zhou. After all, he is the son-in-law of the Liu family. The things left by Old Man Zhou during his lifetime should be handed over to the descendants of the Liu family.

Of course, those valuable things are another matter.

Now there is only a tattered futon left in the empty yard, which is where Old Man Zhou often meditates.

Li Qing sat down facing the futon, sprinkled some winter plum wine on the ground, and drank alone.

"Mr. Zhou, have a good trip."

The air was soon filled with a strong and intoxicating aroma of wine.

Gulu gulu~

After drinking half a jar of winter plum wine in one breath, Li Qing wiped the corners of his mouth and suddenly felt quite unhappy.

Although Old Man Zhou died in the hands of the Flying Eagle Thief, if it hadn't been for the mission issued by the Liu family, how could Old Man Zhou have faced the Flying Eagle Bandit directly.

But after thinking about it, in the end, I can only say that this is the fate of Old Man Zhou.

After all, the Liu family did not force Old Man Zhou to take the Ningling Pill, and the conditions were clearly stated before purchasing the Ningling Pill.

"Hey, could it be said that if you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening?" Li Qing laughed at himself, and at the same time gave himself a good warning about this matter.

He also has a lot of longevity. It is absolutely unnecessary for Old Man Zhou to die in pursuit of his own path.

It's a bad idea to be greedy for merit and rush forward!

Just like that, after finishing the jar of winter plum wine, Li Qing stood up and prepared to leave.

However, after turning around, Li Qing was horrified to find a beautiful figure standing outside Old Man Zhou's courtyard. This person was wearing a lotus green dress, with a cold temperament, picturesque eyebrows and picturesque facial features. She is so beautiful that she can truly be called a woman with extraordinary beauty.

But Li Qing didn't have the intention to appreciate the other party's appearance, because he didn't realize when the other party appeared here.

You must know that after Li Qing entered the middle stage of Qi refining, his perception became very sharp.

The other party was able to approach so quietly, making him unable to detect it. This at least showed that this person's cultivation level was much higher than his.

"Are you Li Qing?" The woman's tone revealed an indifference that would repel people thousands of miles away.

Li Qing felt a little awe-struck in his heart, then he clasped his fists and said, "I'm here, I don't know."

The woman's next words solved Li Qing's inner doubts.

"Mr. Zhou died because of my mission. I should take a look, both emotionally and logically. Who are you to him?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Qing basically knew the identity of the other party.

The apple of the eye of the Liu family, the proud disciple of the Tianhe Sect, Liu Hanyue!

Li Qing had heard her name more than once before, but he never expected to see her in this way.

"Senior Zhou and I are both teachers and friends. When I first became a spiritual miner, Elder Zhou taught me many things. I often drank and had fun with him."

As he spoke, Li Qing pointed to the jar of winter plum wine he had just finished drinking.

"I see." Liu Hanyue nodded lightly and said nothing more.

Not long after, messy footsteps were heard outside the courtyard again.

"Miss, the seriously injured casual cultivator has been settled. What next is going to find Li Qing?"

Along with the words of respect, several people from the Liu family appeared outside the courtyard.

"No need, he's right here." Liu Hanyue said softly.

Several monks from the Liu family followed Liu Hanyue's line of sight and looked at Li Qing who was standing in the yard. They stepped forward one after another and said:

"Are you Li Qing?"

"That's right!"

"Before his death, Mr. Zhou promised to give you his last chance to enter the Sutra Pavilion. Originally, this kind of adoption could only be left to Mr. Zhou's descendants, but the eldest lady agreed."

"With this token, you can enter my Liu family's Sutra Pavilion once. Except for the third floor, you can copy and take away a copy of the secrets and techniques in the first two floors."

"Why don't you quickly thank the eldest lady for your kindness?"

The people of the Liu family were very arrogant and directly threw a token with the word "Liu" engraved on it into Li Qing's hand.

After receiving the token, Li Qing immediately bent down and said, "Thank you, Miss!"

Liu Hanyue nodded and said: "Death is like a lamp going out. You should practice well. As for Mr. Zhou's descendants, you don't need to worry too much. After all, they are all members of my Liu family, and the Liu family will not treat them badly." "

After saying that, Liu Hanyue turned around and left without any nostalgia.

After all, the identity difference between her and Li Qing is too big, so there is no need to care too much about these things, as long as they have a clear conscience.

At Li Qing's age, he is still at the fourth level of Qi refining, so he can see the path of his life at a glance.

And she, Liu Hanyue, is the proud son of the Liu family. She has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining at a young age, and the foundation building stage is just around the corner.

Several other monks from the Liu family immediately followed, and at the same time they did not forget to flatter themselves:

"The eldest lady is really kind-hearted. If I were one of these casual cultivators, I would immediately burst into tears of gratitude."

"Who says it's not the case? That casual cultivator who was seriously injured was so excited when he learned that our Liu family was willing to settle him."

"If the eldest lady builds a foundation in the future, it will also be a blessing to these casual cultivators!"

"To reach this point, the eldest lady has already done her best to be benevolent and righteous!"

"."

Listening to the fading voice, Li Qing stood there for a long time holding the token with the word "Liu" engraved on it.

In the end, he smiled bitterly, without saying anything else, put the token that allowed him to enter the Liu Family Scripture Pavilion into his arms, and left quickly.

He is a disciple of the Tianhe Sect who is very high up in the world. It is already very good to be able to do this for a stranger.

Even Li Qing, who had some resentment towards her before, couldn't find any fault with her.

The next day, the news that Old Man Zhou died at the hands of the Flying Eagle Bandits spread throughout the three areas, A, B, and C, and all the casual cultivators knew about it.

It caused quite a stir for a while, and many casual cultivators expressed their pity.

Especially the casual cultivator who failed to break through after taking the Spirit Condensing Pill before. I don't know how lucky I am now that I escaped.

"It's such a pity that he died like this less than half a year after breaking through to the late stage of Qi refining."

"A second monk in the late stage of Qi refining was actually born among the Flying Eagle Thieves. It's terrible."

"Fortunately, it was almost my turn to buy the Ningling Pill. Farming in peace is more suitable for me."

"Tsk tsk tsk"

But soon, in order to appease people's hearts, the Liu family immediately carried out the seriously injured casual cultivator.

Now this person has become a surname of the Liu family, and has broken away from his identity as a casual cultivator. He can get a lot of spiritual stones as a salary every year while lying down to recuperate.

This matter was done so flawlessly that other casual cultivators could not blame the Liu family for anything. On the contrary, many people nodded and approved of the actions of the eldest lady of the Liu family.

Suddenly, Liu Hanyue's image in the hearts of these casual cultivators became much nobler, and she gained a good reputation.

As for Li Qing, after hearing these things, he just shook his head and sneered a few times, but did not say anything.

A few days later, Li Qing took the token given by the Liu family and went to the Scripture Collection Pavilion.
