Zhang Xiaozu grabbed the thin blanket on the bed and wrapped it around him. He got out of bed and walked to the closet. He opened the closet and found that it was empty and exuded a musty smell. He scanned the room again and couldn't find any clothes to wear, so he had to
With an expression on her face, she responded to the maid waiting at the door and said, "Just leave your clothes at the door. I can wear them myself without your service."
"Yes." The maid responded.
Zhang Xiaozu tiptoed, quietly walked to the door, hid behind the door leaf, opened the door to a gap with a creak, stretched his arm out of the door along the gap, and quickly grabbed the clothes and shoes that the maid placed in front of the door and brought them into the room.
.
The maid at the door couldn't help but let out a laugh when she saw Zhang Xiaozhu looking as panicked as a thief.
She had been waiting in front of the door for half an hour with her clothes in her arms. During this half hour, she had been in a state of anxiety. Although she had seen Zhang Xiaopou without clothes last night, and she was the one who carried Zhang Xiaopou into the house.
The room was placed on the bed, but Zhang Xiaozu was in a coma at that time. Although she was panicked and shy, she was not afraid, because the unconscious Zhang Xiaozu would not do anything to her.
But when she thought about having to dress Zhang Xiaopou after he woke up later, if this guy was greedy and lustful, she might not be able to escape the bad luck of being abused, and she was just a lowly maid, so she had no right to resist, and she was unable to resist. So.
She was feeling uneasy this morning, feeling that bad luck was coming.
However, when she saw Zhang Xiaozu acting like a thief, grabbing clothes and shoes into the room through the crack in the door, she was worried all morning and put it back. Instead, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, because she started from Zhang Xiaozu.
As she grabbed her clothes, she could clearly feel the panic, shame and embarrassment in Zhang Xiaozhu's heart, as if the young man in the room was more nervous and scared than she was.
"Sir, please wait a moment. I will bring you water to wash up." The maid excused herself, her voice much lighter, because she had already seen that Zhang Xiaopou was not a lecherous person, and she no longer had any worries or fears in her heart.
She is wearing a black shorts outfit that fits her perfectly. The material of the clothes is also excellent, silky and smooth, cool and non-sticky. The hard-soled boots also fit her feet very well, as if they were tailor-made.
There was a knock on the door, and the maid's voice sounded at the door: "Master, can I come in?"
Zhang Xiaozu was already dressed and said, "Come in."
The maid held a basin of water in her hand, opened the door sideways, walked into the room, and placed the basin on the shelf next to the door. She also held a bamboo cup in her right hand, which was filled with water, and the water was soaked in it.
Holding a small brush, she handed the bamboo cup to Zhang Xiaopou, who was walking over, and said, "Sir, please rinse your mouth."
Zhang Xiaozu took the bamboo cup, took out the brush soaked in the cup, looked at it with interest, and said to himself that rich people will enjoy it. Not only the clothes they wear are as smooth as if they were made of water, but even rinsing their mouths
The tools he used were all so ingenious. When he was in Liujia Village, he used to use branches of old willow trees to rub his teeth casually when rinsing his mouth. He had never used such a delicate and compact brush.
brush brush brush
Zhang Xiaozu put the small brush into his mouth and tried brushing his teeth a few times. His eyes lit up because there was a cool fragrance on the brush, which spread in his mouth and was very refreshing.
"Not bad. Not bad. Good stuff." Zhang Xiaozhu rinsed his mouth and praised the brush. He couldn't help but curiously asked the maid: "What is this brush made of? It's very magical."
"Back to the young master, its hair is made of the most flexible hair on the back of the flying rat's neck, and its rod is made of the branches of the cool palm. Soak it in water for half an hour before gargling.
The fragrance of the cool palm will spread to the hair of the flying rat, leaving a mouth full of fragrance." The maid said.
Zhang Xiaopou has never heard of Flying Rat or Qingliang Palm.
"Is this brush expensive?" Zhang Xiaozu asked.
"It shouldn't be too expensive for a young master, only ten taels of silver a piece." The maid said. Although she could see that Zhang Xiaozhu didn't have the temperament of a noble young master, she didn't dare to look down upon him, at least she didn't dare to show it. She could compliment him.
Of course I want to compliment you.
"" Zhang Xiaozhu smiled bitterly and was speechless when he heard the ten taels apiece. A mouthwash brush from a rich family was enough for a family of six in Liujia Village to tighten their belts and save for several years. He could only lament that the world of rich people is not
This is what a poor country boy like him can imagine.
The maid soaked the towel placed beside the basin in water, then wring it half dry and handed it to Zhang Xiaozu.
"I'll do it myself." Zhang Xiaozhu said after taking the towel. He looked at most of the basin of water, and then thought about the poor people outside the city who were worried about a drop of water. For a moment, he couldn't bring himself to wash his face with it, so he just wet it with it.
I wiped my face carefully with a towel without touching the water in the basin.
"Young Master?" The maid was puzzled.
Zhang Xiaozhu knew what the maid wanted to ask, so he smiled bitterly and said: "When I think of sending half a basin of clean water outside the city, I don't know how many lives can be saved, but I have to use it to wash my face and then throw it away, I feel like I am doing
unscrupulous
If something happens, I might be struck by lightning, so I’d better wipe it with a towel and feel more at ease.”
The maid couldn't help but change her expression after hearing this, and blurted out: "Young Master is a good man."
Zhang Xiaozu looked at her with a smile and said, "If your master hears this, I'm afraid he will suffer a lot."
The maid was startled for a moment, and then realized that she had said the wrong thing. She knew that if the master of the Li family heard her praising a man who had occupied the Li family's mansion, killed the fourth master of the Li family, and plundered the Li family's treasure house as a good person, what would happen?
It would only take a hard meal, but she would definitely be beaten to death with a stick. She couldn't help but tremble with fear, her face turned pale, and she cast a pitiful and pleading look at Zhang Xiaopeng.
"Don't worry, I won't tell your master." Zhang Xiaozhu said with relief, then asked, "What's your name?"
"My lord, my humble name is Liu Hong. I mean Liu Hong with green willows and red flowers." The maid looked at her gratefully and replied.
"Liu Hong, a very nice name."
"Thank you for the compliment, Master."
"Well, go ahead and go ahead. I don't have anything I need you to serve." Zhang Xiaozu said.
"Sir, that slave?" The maid hesitated, as if she had something to say.
"If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it."
The maid pinched her hands together, closed her eyes, gathered her courage, and asked, "Can I give this basin of water to my slave?"
"There's nothing wrong with this, just use it, but try not to waste it." Zhang Xiaozu said with a smile.
"Thank you for the reward, Master!" The maid was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.
"Go ahead."
Seeing the maid as if she had found a treasure, she carefully picked up the basin of water and moved very slowly and lightly for fear of spilling a drop. Zhang Xiaozu knew that she would not waste the basin of water.
Zhang Xiaozu stretched his body and walked out of the room. He happened to see Taoist Tianwu coming out of the main room. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Disciple, I would like to pay my respects to Master. I also want to thank Master for teaching him the cultivation techniques."
Although he was in a coma last night, Master Tianwu's voice and teaching methods were directly imprinted into his sea of consciousness, so he heard them clearly.
"Haha, how do you feel after practicing meditation all night?" Tianwu Taoist smiled and nodded, then asked.
"My disciple is stupid. After studying and practicing for a whole night, I only got a little bit of Tao power, which is barely enough to draw a simple spell." Zhang Xiaozu scratched his head, feeling happy and excited because of the Tao power he had gained through cultivation, but also embarrassed because there was too little Tao power.
, I feel that I have failed Master’s high expectations.
"Oh." Unexpectedly, Tianwu Taoist said in a very surprised tone and said, "You have developed Tao power in just one night? Come and draw a talisman for me to see."
"Yes." Zhang Xiaozu accepted the order, immediately concentrated his thoughts, drove the power in his body, concentrated it on the tip of his right index finger, and then drew the simplest exorcism spell in the air in front of him.
Tianwu Taoist looked at the exorcism spell drawn by Zhang Xiaozu with a surprised look on his face, while his right hand was reaching into his left sleeve, preparing to take out the talisman paper and cinnabar. He meant to let Zhang Xiaozu use cinnabar to draw talismans on the talisman paper.
Because the Tao power that has just been cultivated is not pure enough, it needs to use cinnabar and talisman paper as a medium to exert its power. Only when the Tao power has been cultivated to a certain level and has sufficient concentration and purity, can it not rely on cinnabar and talisman paper.
A kind of medium allows Tao power to condense directly in the air and show its power. This realm is called Xiaocheng realm by Taoists, which means Taoism Xiaocheng.
It took Taoist Tianwu a year to go from the entry level of relying on cinnabar and talisman paper to draw talismans out of thin air, and now Zhang Xiaozu has reached the small level of success in just one night. What can he do?
Not shocked?
"Maybe this is the difference between a genius and a monster." Tianwu Daoist smiled bitterly in his heart, and was hit by Zhang Xiaozu again. He considered himself a genius, but Zhang Xiaozu was a monster who could crush geniuses. This talent and understanding
He couldn't help but be impressed.
The talisman Zhang Xiaozu drew in the air dissipated after a while. He scratched his head and said sheepishly: "I made you laugh, Master."
"Your talent and understanding are the only ones I have seen in my life. When I first started practicing, I was not one-tenth as good as you." Taoist Tianwu praised him without hesitation, but immediately warned: "Beware of arrogance and impetuosity, and be careful in your cultivation."
You must always maintain a humble and enterprising spirit. As my teacher, I hope you can live up to your own talent and understanding, be always alert on the road of cultivation, move forward with a heavy load, climb to the top of the world, and achieve the supreme path."
"Disciple, please remember Master's teachings at all times." Zhang Xiaozu said.
Zhou Jianlai walked out of the room and saw Taoist Tianwu. He walked forward quickly, bowed his head and said gratefully: "Thank you, senior, for giving me the supreme skill! From now on, if you are asked to do anything, don't dare to disobey him."
"Get up, as long as it's useful to you." Taoist Tianwu said with a smile.
Zhou Jianlai kowtowed to Taoist Tianwu nine times before standing up.
Xuan-level cultivation techniques are even higher than high-grade techniques.
Two levels, a supreme skill that he never dared to dream about, he never expected to obtain it so easily. Even after kowtowing to Taoist Tianwu, he still felt like riding on a cloud, floating and unreal.
"Senior, you are biased and have given nothing to this junior." Niu Dawa shouted and ran over, then stared at Taoist Tianwu expectantly.
Taoist Tianwu glanced at him up and down, and said angrily: "You are a demon cultivator. You are already very kind and righteous even before I kill you. You still want to find me to fight against the autumn wind. I think you are tired of living."
Although he knew that Tianwu Taoist was joking, Niu Dawa was still so scared that he shrank his neck, and then asked with a sad face: "Senior, you are a highly moral person and will not care about me, a demon cultivator, but if you change
If you get rid of those sanctimonious hypocrites and really villains, they will definitely yell at the juniors to beat and kill them, so what should we do?"
"Don't worry, the old dog who gave you the inheritance has already considered this issue. You don't have any demonic aura in you. No one can tell that you are a demon cultivator." Tianwu Taoist said.
"Senior, you couldn't tell right away." Niu Dawa muttered in disbelief.
"I figured it out, not by looking at it." Taoist Tianwu corrected him, "And there are not more than five people in the whole of Dayu who can figure out the relationship between you and that old dog like me at a glance. That's fine.
Are you relieved?"
"Hehe, that's good." Niu Dawa was relieved.
"Senior, is it okay for humans to cultivate demons?" Zhang Xiaozu suddenly asked worriedly.
"What?" Taoist Tianwu raised his eyelids and asked, "Are you afraid that he will turn into a dog while practicing cultivation?"
"" Taoist Tianwu's question was a bit too direct, making it difficult for Zhang Xiaozu to talk to him, because Niu Dawa was already glaring at him with cannibalistic eyes.
"No." Taoist Tianwu shook his head and said, "At most, it just has more demon-like behavioral characteristics."
"Oh, that's good." Zhang Xiaozu breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "What are the behavioral characteristics of a dog? Hmm."
Zhang Xiaozhu suddenly raised his voice and looked at Niu Dawa with a look of horror on his face.
"What's wrong?" Niu Dawa felt confused when he saw her, thinking that something was wrong with her.
"As the saying goes: a dog can't change his eating habits."
"Zhang Xiaopeng, fuck you! I'm going to kill you!" Niu Dawa ran wild instantly and rushed towards Zhang Xiaopeng with bared teeth and claws.
"" Taoist Tianwu couldn't help laughing, and said: "If that old dog hears what you said, it will definitely skin you. Let's go and eat. After dinner, I will teach you two tricks."
…
"Master Qi, please spare your life, I will never dare to do this again!"
"Please, please spare my humble life!"
"Ah, Master Qi, please spare my life."
Trembling pleas and shrill screams rang out on a road in the Li Mansion. Li Hongyong, the seventh master of the Li family, strode forward. He held a maid's head in his hand and dragged her along the road. The maid was suffering.
I begged him but nothing happened.
He had already made up his mind to throw this lowly servant girl into the Lotus Lake to be drowned and eat the dog food inside and outside. He dared to please the enemies of the Li family and deserved death.
The maid's name is Liu Hong, and she is the same maid who was rewarded with a basin of water by Zhang Xiaozu not long ago.
She got a basin of water from Zhang Xiaozu, knowing that if the Li family master saw him, he might be confused, so she walked out of the yard and took a path, turning left and right, and finally reached the yard where their servants lived safely.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the courtyard, she bumped into Li Hongyong who was walking out.
Li Hongyong thought she was stealing water, so without saying a word, he slapped her twice so hard that stars appeared in her eyes, blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, and she fell to the ground.
She was so frightened that she hurriedly got up and knelt down in front of Li Hongyong to explain. Unexpectedly, after explaining, she got even worse. It was like digging up the ancestral graves of Li Hongyong's family. He was so angry that he flew into a rage, grabbed her head and killed her.
Drag her in the direction of Lianhu Lake and throw her into the Lianhu Lake to drown her.
Everyone in the Li family was holding back a bad breath in their hearts. They wished they could tear Taoist Tianwu and Zhang Xiaopeng apart and scatter their bones into ashes. However, they succumbed to the power of Taoist Tianwu and had nowhere to vent their bad breath.
Liu Hong could be said to have been hit in the crosshairs, allowing Li Hongyong to find an outlet for his suppressed anger.
"Zhang Xiaozhu rewarded you with a basin of water. Does he like you? Then I will kill you and make him feel uncomfortable."
Although Li Hongyong didn't say these words, that's what he thought in his heart.
"You bitch, don't you want to drink water? I want you to drink as much as you can."
Dragging the maid Liu Hong all the way to the edge of Lian Lake, Li Hongyong cursed with a ferocious expression. With a flick of his arm, Liu Hong's fragile body flew out and fell into the lake with a thud.
Lianhu Lake is not big, but the water is very deep. I can’t count how many servants and slaves have drowned. (https:)
