Chapter 1,172: Abandoning one’s own cultivation, the two do not owe each other
Zhou Jian looked at the man in red who was approaching, with a look of surprise on his face. He smiled loudly and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, and your demeanor has not changed, sir!"
The man in red is named Long Kui, and he was once the fifth deacon of Wanjiang Pavilion.
I had a sword duel with Zhou Jianlai.
That battle was only about sword heart, sword intention, sword technique and sword technique, not about cultivation.
Because his cultivation level at that time was far superior to Zhou Jianlai's.
The two sides drew a draw in that battle and agreed to fight again, but it was indefinite.
Over the years, Zhou Jianlai often regretted not being able to have a drink with this opponent who was so outstanding in his swordsmanship.
Today we finally meet again, so I am very happy.
"Sword contest?" Long Kui looked at Zhou Jianlai and asked, his expression as cold as ever.
"Compare."
"But how about a drink first than before?"
Zhou Jianlai reached out and grabbed a jar of wine from the void space and asked.
"It's just what I wanted." Long Kui suddenly smiled, with his feet touching the water, he jumped onto the bow of the boat and bowed to the black ape.
Black Ape nodded.
"Do you want to drink, Your Majesty?" Zhou Jianlai asked Hei Yuan.
"I don't have time." Black Ape rejected Zhou Jianlai's invitation and said, "Lend your Wordless Heavenly Book to me to read."
Zhou Jianlai was not stingy, he readily took out the Wordless Heavenly Book and the futon from the Wanjian Box and handed them to Hei Yuan.
Black Ape took it in his hand and turned around and entered the cabin.
Zhou Jianlai looked at the black ape disappearing from the cabin door and felt that the black ape had matured from a playful monster.
"Sir, I'm thirsty. Can you ask me for a glass of water and wine to quench my thirst?" Miss Dong asked while standing on the boat.
"Why?" Zhou Jianlai asked.
Miss Dong heard these three words come out of Zhou Jianlai's mouth again, and her expression was startled.
When she heard Zhou Jianlai ask this just now, she subconsciously thought that Zhou Jianlai was asking her why she invited them to the ship as guests. Then she took the opportunity to show off the strength of Jiuzhou Auction House and told Zhou Jianlai that others were afraid of offending the Shen family, but Jiuzhou Auction House
Don’t be afraid, Jiuzhou Auction House can provide them with shelter.
As a result, Zhou Jianlai didn't care about taking a ride on their Jiuzhou Auction House's big ship.
This made her very embarrassed.
However, when she heard these three words again, she realized that Zhou Jianlai was asking her why she wanted to get close to them. What was her intention to get close to them even at the risk of offending the Shen family?
She knew that if she couldn't give a reasonable answer, Zhou Jianlai would definitely continue to reject her thousands of miles away.
After thinking about it, she said directly: "Jiuzhou Auction House wants to do jade business with Zhang Xiaozu."
There's nothing to hide.
She couldn't help complaining that Zhou Jianlai had something wrong with his brain. When he asked a question, he couldn't say a few more words to make it clear. He had to use words like gold to solve riddles. Others were not roundworms in his stomach.
Zhou Jianlai said: "I'm afraid that the wine I drink is too strong to your liking."
"My family likes spirits the most." Miss Dong said without conscience.
She had already made up her mind to board the ship and wanted to establish a good relationship with Zhou Jianlai and the other three so as to give Zhang Xiaozu a friendly impression.
Seeing Zhou Jianlai nodding, she immediately jumped onto the bow of the ship.
Du Keyi and Zhang Xiaobing did not go to the bow to join in the fun, but sat at another table on the deck and chatted about the things they had experienced over the years.
Miss Dong also wanted to go to the table with Du Keyi and Zhang Xiaobing, but she thought that she would have to have a few drinks with Zhou Jianlai, which made him happy, so she stayed on the bow of the boat and sat down with Zhou Jianlai and Long Kui.
"cough…"
But as soon as the first sip of wine entered her throat, it immediately spurted out of her mouth.
She felt that what she drank was not wine, but fire.
This wine is the strongest one recommended to Zhou Jianlai by Tan Xizhi. She basically only drinks fruit wine on weekdays, so she can't stand it.
Seeing the disgusted looks from Zhou Jianlai and Long Kui, she was embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the floor to crawl in, because the four side dishes on the table were all covered in her saliva.
"Hug...I'm sorry, I'm going to ask someone to cook you some dishes to go with the wine."
After saying that, he jumped off the big ship as if he was running away, and drove the small boat towards the big ship of Jiuzhou Auction House.
Zhou Jianlai poured the four side dishes stained with Miss Dong's saliva into the river without giving any dignity, and then took out four identical side dishes from the void space.
A plate of peanuts, a plate of tofu mixed with green onions, a plate of beef with soy sauce and a roast chicken.
He likes to drink, so he always has side dishes prepared in the void space.
"How is this wine?" Zhou Jianlai asked Long Kui.
"It's very average. It has nothing but strength." Long Kui commented mercilessly.
This made Zhou Jianlai burst into laughter and said: "Men should drink the strongest wine."
"What bullshit theory." Long Kui scoffed.
"Ha ha…"
A young disciple wearing Wentian Sect clothes flew from the southern sky. He came to the front of the ship with a cold face, glanced at Zhou Jianlai, then looked at Du Keyi who was sitting on the deck and said: "Senior sister, ancestor, please come over.
One trip.”
Du Keyi's heart thumped, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes.
Zhou Jianlai knew why the ancestor of the Wentian Sect was looking for Du Keyi. He must have seen him and Du Keyi walking together and began to doubt his identity, and he chose to come here with Du Keyi as Zhou Jianlai's identity.
By then, I had decided not to pretend anymore.
He put down his wine glass, looked at the disciples of the Wentian Sect and said, "Go back and tell the ancestor that Yelu Kuan is Zhou Jianlai, and Zhou Jianlai is Yelv Kuan."
"You...you are so brave!" the Wentian Sect disciple pointed at Zhou Jianlai and shouted angrily.
But the look of joy flashed deep in his eyes.
Because Yelu Kuan is from Zhou Jianlai, his position as the ancestor's first cultivation target will no longer be jeopardized, otherwise the ancestor will abandon him and choose Yelu Kuan as the cultivation target.
Zhou Jianlai said: "I entered the main hall of Xianfu with the help of Wentianzong. After coming out, I preached at Wentianzong for eighteen days. I taught everything I learned in the main hall of Xianfu without reservation. So,
I don’t owe you anything to ask Tianzong.”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone on both sides of the river was shocked.
It was not that Zhou Jianlai was shocked that he had sneaked into the Wentian Sect, but that he was shocked that he had entered the main hall of the Immortal Mansion.
In their hearts, Zhou Jianlai's extraordinary swordsmanship suddenly got a reasonable explanation. Entering the main hall of the Immortal Mansion is naturally very powerful, and even if it is not powerful, it will not work.
Shen Qingyun's face darkened. He originally wanted to defeat Zhang Xiaopou before challenging Zhou Jianlai, but when he learned that Zhou Jianlai had entered the main hall of the Immortal Mansion, he couldn't help but feel timid.
"Well, I don't owe you anything. If Wentianzong didn't support you, you wouldn't even be able to get through the gate of the Immortal Mansion. How can you not owe me anything?"
Patriarch Wu Fang’s angry questioning came from the Wentian Sect’s ship.
"Without me, it would be difficult to ask whether Tianzong could enter the main hall of the Immortal Mansion," Zhou Jianlai said.
"Haha, Ancestor Wu Fang is so awesome. He has trained a swordsman for the Great Su Empire. Haha..." The ancestor of the Changsheng Sect gloated and laughed loudly throughout the sky.
He had always been worried about the fact that the main hall of the Immortal Mansion was occupied by the Wentian Sect. Now when he heard that the person who entered the main hall of the Immortal Mansion was not a disciple of the Wentian Sect, the depression in his heart disappeared completely. He felt that he had never felt like this before.
Have been happy.
Patriarch Wu Fang walked out of the boathouse with a livid face and shouted at Zhou Jianlai: "Zhou Jianlai, if you deprive yourself of cultivation, then you and I, the Wentian Sect, will no longer owe each other anything."
