Chapter 77 Cut the Fate (Part 1)
Wang Qinian bumped into Kong Zhang. He was just a scholar and didn't know how to fight. He only knew this clumsy way.
Finally, Kong Zhang remembered that this was his brother-in-law, so he didn't dare to hurt him, so he just flicked his sleeves.
Wang Qinian felt as if he had bumped into a soft, soft object that was still spinning endlessly. After a while, the world spun and he fell to the ground involuntarily, unable to get up for a while.
Kong You was reminiscing about the deep love between brother and sister. When Wang Qinian was so disturbed, he remembered that her husband had already come out to pick her up at this time in the past.
She quickly stepped forward to help Wang Qinian up. The nerdy Wang Qinian stood up, straightened his clothes, roared, and rushed forward to fight for his life.
Kong You was so frightened that he quickly stopped Wang Qinian and told him about being teased and being rescued by his younger brother.
The siblings recognized each other, and Wang Qinian rubbed his hands in embarrassment, feeling sorry for his recklessness just now.
"Don't blame me, little brother. I really didn't know about it just now. I was very offended."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Kong Zhang had nothing to do with this brother-in-law, and of course he couldn't mind.
The three of them returned to Kong You's home and sat at the table, where the brother and sister talked to each other.
Only then did Kong Zhang learn that Wang Qinian was born in a scholarly family in Yunjing. His family was originally well off, but as his status as a Confucian scholar declined, his father died in depression, and his mother died soon after.
Since then, the family has declined, and now only this small house is left for the couple to live in.
Kong Zhang omitted most of his experiences, and only said that he had now joined the Xianjia sect and learned some Taoism.
Unexpectedly, when Wang Qinian heard this, his expression immediately changed, he stood up and persuaded Kong Zhang to turn around and come back.
It turned out that Wang Qinian had been influenced by his father since he was a child. He hated the Taoist sects that controlled the world today and the magic tricks were rampant. He believed that using magic to rule the country and fool the people would never last long. He was extremely benevolent and would bring disaster to the future. The only way is to rectify the source and repeat the ancient rituals.
, governing the world with morality is the right way.
Kong Zhang felt angry and funny about Wang Qinian's endless complaints. If he followed his words, he might be able to influence the human race, but how to influence the monsters?
The sages of the Confucian sect have indeed influenced the demon clan, and there is a saying in the classics that there is no class without teaching, but this is also based on strength. If there is no power to subdue the demon clan, how can they be willing to listen to the teachings?
Now that Confucianism is in decline, sages like Confucius do not exist at all. The descendants of the sect have either lost their ideals long ago and become people who talk superficially and pursue profit in reality, or they are unknown like Wang Qinian, who talk empty talk but have no strength.
Change the world.
Kong Zhang, caring about Kong You's face, had no choice but to deal with it perfunctorily.
After saying half a sentence, Wang Qinian saw that Kong Zhang, his cheap brother-in-law, was unwilling to listen to his advice, so his attitude immediately became much colder. He left the table and went to his room to read, leaving Kong You and his brother alone to talk.
"Don't blame your husband, he, he has never liked those immortal officials, saying that they bring harm to the world and are greedy to exploit." Kong You didn't understand these big principles. He usually just believed in Wang Qinian's words and often listened to him discussing the government affairs in the room.
, so I can’t say I have any good impressions of the Taoist Immortal Officials.
But the younger brother was an exception. No matter what Kong Zhang became, he was still his younger brother in Kong You's eyes, and he looked sweet at first glance.
Kong Zhang helplessly shook his head and expressed that he didn't mind. Remembering the purpose of his trip, he took out the longevity pill from his arms.
"This elixir is something I got after a lot of effort. It can strengthen the body and increase life span. It is specially prepared for my sister." Kong Zhang said softly, with joy in his eyes as he spoke.
Kong You screamed when he heard it. Nowadays, the power of the Taoist sect is known all over the world. Even though people like Wang Qinian regard it as snakes and scorpions, the various magical things of the Taoist sect have also been witnessed by others. On the contrary, it is the improvement of smelting skills and the like.
It has been integrated into ordinary life. Ordinary people just feel that today's iron tools are becoming more and more useful. This is also the result of Taoism.
But Kong You believed that his brother would not lie to her. Since his brother said that this elixir has the effect of increasing longevity, it must be true.
It was just too precious, and Kong You didn't know what to do for a while.
Kong Zhang smiled, opened the elixir bottle, gently placed the light yellow longevity elixir in the palm of Kong You's hand, and urged her to take it.
"Sister, you have taken care of me since I was a child. Without you, I would have died a long time ago. Take this pill quickly."
What Kong Zhang wants to see most now is for Kong You to take this elixir. Even if Kong You's constitution is weak, this elixir can increase her lifespan by at least twenty or thirty years.
Kong You looked at the elixir in his palm and was stunned, but he didn't take it immediately. Instead, he shed tears.
Hearing Kong Zhang's urging, she raised her head as if waking up from a dream and said: "Give me this elixir, and I can decide how to deal with it, right?"
Kong Zhang was startled and nodded slightly. He vaguely guessed Kong You's intention, but he couldn't help but persuade his sister to stop it.
Kong You wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a smile like a blooming flower: "Okay, I, I will go and give this elixir to your husband."
Kong Zhang sighed. He had guessed from what Kong You said just now that his sister had this intention, but he couldn't stop it. If Wang Qinian took this pill, he would have to try to get one for Kong You in the future.
What's more, after the conversation he had with Wang Qinian just now, he estimated that his sister would go home disappointed.
Sure enough, after a while Kong You returned sadly, and Wang Qinian was determined not to take the pill.
Kong Zhang was not angry, but was overjoyed. He exchanged this elixir from the Taoist sect for Kong You. He had already embarked on the path of spiritual practice, and might be able to live forever in the future, but his sister was just an ordinary person and would suffer from birth, old age, illness, and death.
Although this life-extending pill can only prolong life for a while, and it is most effective only for the first time you take it, and the effectiveness of the medicine will decrease if you take it again. But in the next twenty years, Kong Zhang may reach the realm of real people, or even the realm of gods.
The great monk has other ways to think of.
Unexpectedly, Kong You refused to take the pill anymore, which was beyond Kong Zhang's expectation.
"Sister, this pill is rare. Previously, you wanted my brother-in-law to take it first. As long as my sister is happy, I won't stop you. But since my brother-in-law is unwilling to take it, why do you..." Kong Zhang was puzzled.
"You said before that this elixir was given to me, so you won't object to me no matter how I deal with it." Kong You shook his head.
Kong Zhang had no choice but to nod, and Kong You smiled brightly, walked out of the house, came to the well in front of his house, and threw the longevity pill into the well.
A splash of water stirred up and immediately turned into ripples.
"Although this pill can prolong life, my husband has never believed in alchemy and is determined not to take it. Even if you force him to take it, he is stubborn and may do something drastic. If he refuses to take it and I do,
