Chapter 135 Polite

"I heard that Junior Brother Zheng will go to the Fufa Pavilion to give a lecture tomorrow."

Han Qi was walking towards the market town when a tall and thin man beside him suddenly spoke.

"Giving a lecture?" Han Qi was a little curious. He really didn't know about this. "Junior Brother Zheng giving a lecture?"

"Yes, I heard that he is now a lecturer at the Talisman Pavilion." The tall and thin man said the information he had heard.

"Then we have to go and support Junior Brother Zheng tomorrow to avoid any trouble."

Han Qi pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Brother, what are you saying?"

"You know the Fufa Pavilion is a place where trouble easily occurs!" Han Qi said with some worry: "Junior Brother Zheng is still in the Qi Refining Stage after all. It is no problem for him to suppress those new Qi Refining disciples, but the lecturers before were all senior brothers in the Foundation Establishment Stage. I am afraid they will exclude Junior Brother Zheng."

The tall and thin man nodded silently and was about to speak again.

A man suddenly walked past him. He kept his head down and walked in a hurry, as if he was afraid of attracting attention if he stayed on the road for too long.

He seemed not to have noticed Han Qi and the other two, and bumped into the tall and thin man heavily.

The tall and thin man was caught off guard, staggered forward, and glared at the man.

"Hey? Senior Brother Li?" the tall and thin man shouted, with a hint of surprise on his face.

This Junior Brother Li was wearing a coarse cotton uniform of a Jiushan Sect disciple, and the cuffs were a little washed and white - this was very rare in the Jiushan Sect.

Most of the Nine Mountains Sect disciples don’t do much laundry.

On the one hand, even if they want to wash clothes, most people will choose to use a cleansing talisman. A yellow-grade talisman can make a person clean from the inside out - a bit like taking a shower with your clothes on and washing the clothes at the same time.

Of course, it’s the clean version.

But more importantly, although the lower-level disciples are considered poor in Jiushan Sect, they are much richer than ordinary people.

Cotton cloth, a commodity that does not require spiritual materials to produce, is extremely cheap in the market.

It is quite common for Jiushan Sect disciples to throw away their clothes when they get dirty and buy new ones.

Most of the disciples, except for those with quirks, actually dress quite decently.

But Han Qi and the other two all knew that Senior Brother Li was really poor.

Senior Brother Li looked up at the three of them, put his hands into his sleeves, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Senior Brother Li, where are you going?" Han Qi smiled and bowed, his tone very intimate.

Senior Brother Li looked at Han Qi's high spirits and the clothes of a law enforcement disciple in the market, and his face became even more embarrassed. He lowered his eyes and said, "I... will go to the market to find some work."

"Then you picked a good day, Senior Brother!"

Han Qi laughed.

"Good day?"

"Today, many foreign monks came to the market, and they are willing to spend money! If you work at the dock for a day, you can earn two or three times as much as before."

"Is that so?" Senior Brother Li seemed to go out very rarely and was not very familiar with the changes in the market. "Then... three junior brothers, I'm leaving first."

"Brother, take your time, there's no rush!" Han Qi warned.

Watching him walk away, the tall and thin man suddenly sighed: "Brother, how come Brother Li's life has become like this now?"

Han Qi was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "In fact, among the several brothers we followed before, Brother Li has the best personality and is considerate... He has good talent, but he just has to think about talismans every day."

"I heard that this is Senior Brother Li's father, who is also from our Jiushan Sect... and has some relationship with Senior Sister Zhang's master?"

The tall and thin man said thoughtfully.

"Yes, Senior Brother Li's father is also a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. His family has always been a descendant of Senior Sister Zhang." Han Qi explained, "But Senior Brother Li's father died because of that talisman, and also killed several other disciples. That's why he fell into decline... I didn't expect that Senior Brother Li was also addicted to it. I'm afraid he has invested all his wealth in it."

Watching Senior Brother Li's figure with his head down disappearing in the market, Han Qi couldn't help but sigh.

They had followed Senior Brother Li in the beginning, and to be honest, apart from being a little poor, they actually lived a pretty happy life.

Senior Brother Li has a good temper and rarely goes out, so he doesn’t cause any trouble for others.

Usually I just ask them to run errands or something.

Later, Senior Brother Li's life became worse and worse, and naturally he could not afford to support three people.

But everyone parted ways amicably.

His life was getting better now, and he felt that he had become a lot softer-hearted. Seeing Senior Brother Li becoming increasingly destitute, he actually felt some sympathy that he had not had before.

…

Senior Brother Li walked in the market town with his head down all the way, almost not looking at anyone.

He knew that as soon as he looked up he would see some unfriendly looks - most of the vendors selling talismans in this market did not like him.

Ever since his father passed away, this group of people have treated both him and his son as a joke.

Senior Brother Li also knew that he would not be able to find a job in the market.

Whether it's being a clerk, an accountant, or even just doing some simple odd jobs or moving things.

Any disciple of Jiushan Sect who knows me will not choose me.

Those who don’t know him will recognize him after hearing others mention him.

As time went by, none of the Jiushan Sect disciples in this market would hire me.

But he also has a way to make money - that is to go to the dock and find those foreign disciples who don't know him.

You can earn some living expenses by showing people around or running errands.

He walked through the market town and came to the dock, only to realize that what Han Qi and the other two said was true—there really were quite a few more foreign monks at the dock.

Soon, a middle-aged cultivator who looked quite wealthy hired him and asked him to take him around the Jiushan Sect.

The middle-aged monk walked around and asked questions all over the place, seeming to be very curious about many things in Jiushan Sect.

"Junior brother, do you know who came up with this free shuttle boat for the Jiushan Sect?"

The monk asked him.

Senior Brother Li was stunned, he had actually heard of this matter before - he made a living at the dock, and the matter of the ferry was considered big news at the dock.

"It seems to be... Junior Brother Zheng?"

"Zheng Fa?"

Unexpectedly, the monk called out Zheng Fa's name right away.

Senior Brother Li was stunned, and his face suddenly became alert.

He was not stupid, and he could tell that this man did not seem to be here to play, but rather seemed to be trying to find out something.

Seeing his expression, the man said frankly: "To be honest, I am from the nearby Qianhe Sect's market. Your market is booming, and I want to come and learn from you."

“To be honest, after watching for so long, we can still learn from your free shuttle boat.” The middle-aged man sighed, “But your drama… ah.”

"Drama?"

This is Brother Li’s blind spot in knowledge. When he heard what the middle-aged man said, he was a little confused and looked like he had no idea what drama was.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"You don't know about drama? It was also performed by Zheng Fa!" The middle-aged monk seemed to be very surprised and pointed at the amphitheater in the distance and said, "It's in there, it's very good!"

He seemed like a member of the Jiushan Sect, trying to sell it to Senior Brother Li: "I'm telling you, I originally wanted to watch it once... but after I finished watching it, I wanted to watch it again! I'll come again next month!"

Senior Brother Li was stunned. He glanced at the theater and murmured, "Is it really that good?"

"Ah... Junior Brother, let me tell you this." The middle-aged cultivator said with envy, "Don't think that I am in charge of the market in Qianhe Sect now, and I am considered a big shot, but when I think about how you can watch the drama so conveniently, and even have internal tickets... I really regret not coming to Jiushan Sect back then!"

"..." Senior Brother Li twitched his lips, feeling that the Jiushan Sect disciple uniform he was wearing, which had been washed so much that it looked pale, was worth a lot more.

Suddenly I felt a little proud.

"If you ask me, your Jiushan Sect was stronger than our Qianhe Sect before, but the lives of ordinary disciples are about the same! It's that Zheng Fa, he came up with a lot of new things as soon as he came... I think he is a person who likes to try new things and can come up with new things!"

When they parted, the middle-aged cultivator sighed again towards Senior Brother Li.

As Senior Brother Li walked back, he kept thinking about this sentence in his mind for some reason.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt an urge in my heart.

Zheng law.

I like new things.

He rushed into the market town and found Han Qi and the other two.

"I heard that you are now disciples of Junior Brother Zheng?"

"right."

Looking at Senior Brother Li with an eager face, Han Qi and the other two were a little confused.

"Those three junior brothers, can you introduce me to someone?"

Senior Brother Li said bluntly.

…

The next morning, Zheng Fa arrived at the Fufa Pavilion.

When he walked into the courtyard, he felt a little emotional.

He has only been to this place three times.

All three times I came as a novice disciple.

I didn’t expect that I would become a lecturer on my fourth visit - I had only been enrolled for a few months and Senior Sister Zhang asked me to be the principal. This feeling was really a bit outrageous.

The students didn't come, but the lecturer did.

Quite a few came—it was obvious that many lecturers came because of him.

It is really eye-catching that a new disciple in the Qi Refining Stage has become a lecturer in the Talisman Pavilion less than half a year after entering the school.

Looking at the lecturers staring at him, Zheng Fa bowed his hands in a proper manner, and said in a very humble manner: "Junior brother, I am a lecturer today, and I don't have much experience. If there is anything inappropriate, please give me more guidance."

"No way, we have all heard of Junior Brother's talent in the art of talismans!"

"What's the use of teaching or not teaching? Let's communicate together!"

"We, the group of senior brothers, may have to learn from you, my junior brother!"

This group of senior brothers were more polite than each other, some were even a little humble.

Zheng Fa felt even more embarrassed. He continued modestly, "I don't really understand the rules of the Fufa Pavilion. If I have offended you, please forgive me..."

"We are all brothers from the same sect, why should we follow any rules?"

Zheng Fa stood up and looked at the friendly and polite brothers in front of him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What's the dispute in the Fufa Pavilion? What's the incompatibility between the two sects? Why do the brothers dislike my low Qi Refining Stage and my rapid rise? It's all slander from the hostile forces outside! Look at this atmosphere!

Isn't it great? Senior Sister Zhang behind him looked at this scene of brotherly love and respect, nodded, smiled with a hidden sense of achievement, and slowly walked out of the Fufa Pavilion.

Like a thigh passing by by chance.

…

Not long after, the disciples who came to listen to the discussion on talismans gradually arrived.

Zheng Fa found an empty room and waited for his disciples to come.

The apparent rule of Fufa Pavilion is that students can choose their own lecturers and attend whoever's class they like, and there is no force on anyone to choose.

But the reality is that there are usually only two lecturers, one from each lineage, so unless the students are rebellious enough to betray their teachers and ancestors, they don't have much choice.

For example, today, Zheng Fa is the mentor representing Senior Sister Zhang’s lineage.

What Zheng Fa did not expect was that the first people to come in today were several lecturers from Lun Fu Pavilion - among them was someone from Uncle Pang's lineage.

It can be seen that Senior Sister Zhang can make them polite but cannot make them convinced.
