While resting on the road, Yan Qing was telling everyone how he met the Imperial Master.
It turned out that not long after Yan Qing had an honest and in-depth talk with Chu Chu, he met the Imperial Preceptor, and the Imperial Preceptor was in trouble at that time.
The place where they were at this time was already relatively remote, and the nearby area was already the territory of a small sect.
The scenery here is good. The Imperial Master has been traveling around the mountains and rivers since he left the capital last time. Seeing the good scenery this generation, he thought that he should stop and rest after walking for so long, so he bought a courtyard at the foot of the mountain and lived there.
A leisurely life.
Nothing happened at first. This place is in a remote countryside with beautiful scenery but few people come here.
The Imperial Preceptor also went to the county town for shopping every once in a while. She had lived as a man or an old man for the past twenty years. Now that she has regained her daughter's body, her beauty-loving nature has suddenly been released.
After all, she was forced to transform into an old man at a young age and has been suppressing it for so many years. Even now that she is over forty, she cannot stop her desire to dress up.
For a small county town, the appearance of the Imperial Master is already astonishing.
In addition, she had lived in the capital for a long time and was used to seeing the most popular styles and the most elegant dresses. Therefore, even though the things in the county were not so exquisite, she still became the most beautiful woman in the county according to her own taste.
After all, she has some cultivation skills and is considered a master in the mortal world. She has transformed her appearance all the year round, which makes her fair skin even more attractive.
At her age, she has taken care of herself to this extent, which is actually in line with the aesthetics of many men.
For her, ordinary wealthy officials can handle it with ease, because they can't keep up with her and can't find her at all.
But when she was shopping in a rouge shop, she was attracted by an altar owner from the nearby Hong'en Gate.
Naturally, she refused. The altar leader was a little patient at first and tried to win her heart with gold and silver jewelry and beautiful clothes. However, after several months, the imperial master was still unmoved, and the altar leader became annoyed.
He directly led his men over to rob people. Naturally, the Imperial Master was no match for these cultivators who had entered the innate realm, and was taken captive.
When Yan Qing was passing by Chu Chu, the altar leader was furious because of the Imperial Master's stubbornness. Seeing that the Imperial Master could not escape, she was determined not to endure it again and she wanted to commit suicide, but was discovered by the altar leader.
Of course the altar owner would not let her die, at least he would not let her die before he got her.
So the altar owner asked his men to wait outside a forest, and he carried the imperial master who had her acupoints acupointed on his back into the woods to force her.
It was also the group of subordinates who talked without restraint outside the woods, using filthy words, which made Yan Qing and Zheng, who had originally planned to float by invisibly, frown and stop.
When Yan Qing heard what happened, he went to rescue the imperial master first. Chu Chu was not polite and had no place to vent his anger, so he killed all those people.
When Yan Qing was helping the imperial master out, Chu Chu rushed into the woods and killed the altar owner as well.
It had been a long time since she had killed anyone. If she hadn't been greatly stimulated today and these people were really guilty, she wouldn't have killed anyone in front of Yan Qingzheng.
It's just that she thought Yan Qingzheng would at least complain about her, but she didn't expect that she just glanced at the people on the ground, sighed and left.
At night, the two found an inn and settled down the Imperial Master, then sat on the roof chatting.
Yan Qing was saying that she was not a good person, and if a person committed a heinous crime, he should be killed.
Chu Chu also said that her temperament had changed, but Yan Qingzheng shook her head and smiled inexplicably: "I used to treat the world with the greatest kindness, but I didn't get the response I deserved."
After a pause, she added: "The same goes for the Imperial Master."
Through the process of settling the Imperial Preceptor, she learned about what happened to the Imperial Preceptor. The key was that the Imperial Preceptor said that during the time when she was entangled, she heard private comments from nearby neighbors, saying that she deliberately wore colorful clothes every day.
, it was originally meant to seduce men, but now this attitude of rejection is just a way to return the favor.
She didn't understand that she had never had any problems with the neighbors on weekdays. She would nod and say hello when they met. She even took care of one family's children when they were sick.
Why do they think so maliciously of others?
Why do they pour dirty water on themselves?
Don't they know how important reputation is to a woman?
She is not an ordinary woman. If she is, with such a reputation, why not commit suicide?
Anyway, the Imperial Master was completely disappointed with human nature from then on.
Yan Qing was smiling calmly, but the words he spoke were extremely heart-wrenching.
"She has only seen human nature clearly at this age. The human nature that she only despises now, I had already seen clearly ten years ago."
Chu Chu frowned. She had lived for thousands of years and was used to this kind of thing. She was young and had only a few years of experience, so she could say such a thing.
"Tianyimen is the leader of Taoism in the world. As a disciple of Tianyimen, I am arrogant wherever I go. Although I entered Tianyimen at the age of six, the teachings of my grandfather and parents have never been
Don't forget, they taught me to be humble and respectful." Yan Qing closed his eyes, as if he was back to the time when he was ignorant of the world, "At that time, I always pretended to be innocent, and my senior brothers and sisters also really
When I don't know anything, I always stay in the city for one night when you take me down the mountain. I don't understand."
"what happened?"
"Several senior brothers have married at the foot of the mountain, with many wives and concubines!" Yan Qing smiled sarcastically, "Can you imagine? They are all celestial beings on weekdays, but secretly they harbor evil!"
Those young cultivators got married at the foot of the mountain, and they might only go down the mountain once every few years. As cultivators, they are naturally good at looking good, and they only go down the mountain every few years. The woman they had previously fallen in love with had already aged, so they
He kicked him out, found a young woman to have fun with again, and then left again.
To them, those women were just smoke in the past, just an insignificant moment of happiness. However, they never thought that for those women, it would be a lifetime.
"This is a trivial matter. There are many elders and palace masters... They are enshrined as immortals in the mortal world. They are aloof and do whatever they want. There are too many..." Yan Qing shook his head, "But
There are leaders who are selfish, scheming, and unwilling to make progress."
She didn't give a more detailed explanation and was unwilling to mention it again.
As the saying goes, there was so much admiration and admiration in the past, but so much disappointment and disgust later.
Maybe all Taoisms in the world are like this, but in Yan Qingzheng's mind, the sect shouldn't be like that.
The elders of the sect do not have the kindness that elders should have. Instead, they are full of calculations. They never criticize or correct the disciples who insult mortals. This kind of connivance makes the entire Tianyi Sect more and more... rotten.
Chu Chu was silent. Isn't it like this in the fairy world? The weak eat the strong, and the strong bullies the weak...
Everyone who ever resisted was either bullied to the point of losing their integrity, or worked hard to become the person they once hated the most.
No one can single-handedly fight against bad habits accumulated over hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.
"Look, we have been discussing for several years just to find a spiritual stone!" Yan Qing was looking at Chu Chu, "This is still a matter closely related to all cultivators, and it is so difficult!"
Chu Chu said: "You are too naive!"
Yan Qingzheng shook his head: "It's not that I'm being hypocritical, but that I don't understand this world. If I don't do those tricks and tricks, and don't bully the weak, can't I live a more leisurely and longer life than ordinary people?"
Chu Chu was speechless.
"So I wonder if it's because no one has ascended for thousands of years and they have no hope, so they do this recklessly just for fun. So, what if they can ascend? Will the world be different?"
Chu Chu looked at Yan Qingzheng in surprise and asked, "Is it because of this that you thought of restarting the ascension passage?"
"Not entirely, but it is also a wish of mine."
Chu Chu's eyes flashed, but she was not optimistic.
Human nature has nothing to do with being a cultivator or a mortal.
The immortals in the immortal world are not hopeless, but is the situation any different?
It's not that Qing Zheng doesn't understand this truth, it's just that she wants to change this situation in the way she can.
She actually didn't have much hope for the future.
Therefore, she has never been keen on ascension.
She didn't care what happened to the immortal world. She had already heard some stories from Chu Chu and Hong Li, and looking at the behavior of the immortals... she had no expectations.
On the contrary, it was her parents and family members who were in the mortal world, and their character and character made her respect her.
So she preferred to stay in the mortal world, be an ordinary... maybe not that ordinary woman, and live an ordinary but guilt-free life with her husband and her family.
"I must return to the fairy world!" Chu Chu said in a solemn tone.
"I know! So I will definitely open the passage to ascension!"
Chu Chu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as her heart was not twisted to the point of destroying the ascension passage.
When the sky was bright, Yan Qing was finishing her heart-to-heart talk with Chu Chu. She said with a smile: "Anyway, let's rescue Sister Jin Mang first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
When the imperial master woke up during the day, Yan Qing saw that she was calm and asked her what her plan was.
The Imperial Master no longer wanted to wander around alone, and she finally realized clearly that she was just a mortal.
"I'm not sure I won't encounter similar things in the future. So, I wonder if Miss Yan can let me stay with you. Even though I have no hope of promotion, I can still serve tea." The Imperial Master was also very stimulated.
Yes, I said all these things.
Yan Qingzheng shook his head: "I have no shortage of maids by my side, but if the Imperial Master has not figured it out for the time being, I can take you with me. When you figure it out, you can leave at any time."
The Imperial Master thought for a while and nodded lightly. In fact, she felt relieved. After all, she had witnessed the birth of this girl with her own eyes, and her entanglement with her was inextricably linked. If she was really allowed to follow her as a maid,
Around her, she has no dignity at all.
Fortunately, Yan Qingzheng had no such thoughts and respected her.
"Miss Yan, don't call me Imperial Preceptor anymore. I have resigned long ago." Imperial Preceptor smiled and said, "Miss Yan, please call me Tong Aunt if you don't mind. After all, your father and I are backups."
Yan Qingzheng followed Shan Ruliu: "Aunt Tong."
At this moment, both of them recalled the scene where Yan Qing broke into the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion and whipped her.
The two of them were a little embarrassed and turned away.
