He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

Chapter 645 Cultivation

The fourth elder looked at He Yuzhu and said solemnly, "He Yuzhu, I have seen the gentleman."

He Yuzhu immediately perked up when he heard this and asked anxiously, "Well, what did the old man say? Is there any way to find Zhang Jiao?"

At this moment, the old man's junior brother also came over. The fourth brother was slightly stunned, and an idea quickly flashed through his mind, and he said: "The old man said that if you want to find Zhang Jiao, you have to practice with their junior brothers. And you have to have helpers."

The old man's junior brother looked He Yuzhu up and down, and instantly understood what his senior brother meant. His senior brother intended for him to train He Yuzhu to be the leader of the clan. It seemed that his senior brother had high hopes for He Yuzhu. Maybe He Yuzhu had some unknown potential. Thinking of this, the old man's junior brother nodded slightly, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.

He Yuzhu widened his eyes, looked at Lao Si suspiciously, frowned, and said loudly: "Are you making fun of me? I am just an ordinary cook, but you asked me to practice. This is a joke, I won't do it." Lao Si had expected this scene when the old man mentioned He Yuzhu's possible reaction. At that time, the old man just smiled lightly after hearing it, with wisdom in his eyes, and said slowly: "Won't you mention his family?"

At this moment, the fourth brother looked at He Yuzhu helplessly, sighed deliberately, and said: "If you don't want to practice, then don't practice. Anyway, Zhang Jiao is still seriously injured. Judging from his injuries, he will not be able to recover in a few years. At least during this period of time, he will not come to disturb you again. You just enjoy the days of family reunion in peace." After that, the fourth brother stopped talking and looked at He Yuzhu quietly, waiting for him to figure out the interests involved.

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment when he heard what the fourth brother said, and then Zhang Jiao's fierce appearance flashed through his mind. He thought to himself: "Yes, although Zhang Jiao is injured now and will not cause trouble to me for the time being, once he recovers, given his character, he will definitely not let me go easily. The days ahead are really unpredictable, and I might be in crisis again one day." Thinking of this, He Yuzhu's expression became solemn.

After a while, He Yuzhu raised his head, looked at the old men standing nearby, and asked politely, "I don't know which sect you belong to?"

The leading old man showed a kind smile on his face, nodded slightly, and said: "We were originally a Taoist sect, and have always adhered to the rules and concepts of the righteous way in our practice. However, after the Japanese invasion, we had a fierce confrontation with the Japanese Taoists. That battle was extremely brutal, and we were ultimately defeated. Many of our fellow disciples died at the hands of the enemy, and our sect was also seriously damaged." When he said this, a trace of pain and grief flashed in the old man's eyes.

He paused, then continued, "We have a deep blood feud and cannot reconcile. In order to seek revenge and to have enough strength to fight the enemy, we have to make changes. Now, we have changed to the Demon Sect. I am the second in the sect. If you don't mind, you can call me the deputy sect leader in the future, or just call me Qingyi."

He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh in his heart after listening to the old man's story. After further understanding, he realized that although the righteous path has many rules, these rules seem to be somewhat powerless in the face of such heavy blows and hatred. In order to be able to avenge their hatred one day, they chose this seemingly deviating path from the righteous path and voluntarily became a demon cult. The helplessness and sadness in it are self-evident.

He Yuzhu looked at Qingyi curiously and asked, "Your name is Qingyi, which sounds like a special name. What about your senior brother? What's his name?"

Qingyi sighed slightly, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he looked at He Yuzhu and said slowly: "You don't know, when my senior brother resolutely decided to stay in Japan, the name 'Qingyi' officially belonged to me. Before that, this name has always belonged to my senior brother."

He Yuzhu's heart moved, and he felt that something was a little strange. He stared at Qingyi and asked, "Did your senior brother die? Why do I feel that he will be back in a few days?"

After hearing this, Qingyi frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He turned to look at his fellow apprentices, waved his hand and said, "You all go out first, I have something to say to He Yuzhu alone." After the fellow apprentices left, Qingyi turned around and said to He Yuzhu solemnly, "He Yuzhu, you don't understand now, my brother will never come back. Some things, you will gradually understand after you experience them in the future."

After saying that, Qingyi turned around and carefully took out a book from the cabinet beside him, handed it to He Yuzhu, and said: "He Yuzhu, take a look at this book first. It records some unique methods, and I will teach you in detail later. After learning it, you will be able to find Zhang Jiao's trace."

He Yuzhu took the book, a hint of hesitation on his face, scratched his head and said, "Then I'll take a look first. But I have to say this in advance, you can't look down on me for being stupid, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to learn."

Qingyi smiled gently and comforted him, "No, you should read it a few times first to familiarize yourself with the content. Then I will teach you step by step, don't worry."

He Yuzhu nodded, stopped talking, sat aside holding the book, and began to ponder carefully. At first, the obscure words and strange patterns in the book made him confused, but not long after, something magical happened. I don't know if it was the influence of the jade pendant on my body, but I saw a soft spiritual light suddenly emanating from the jade pendant. This spiritual light was like a layer of gauze, slowly surrounding He Yuzhu. Under the cover of this spiritual light, He Yuzhu was surprised to find that the content that was originally like a heavenly book began to become clear and easy to understand, and he gradually understood the meaning expressed above.

Qingyi had been observing He Yuzhu's reaction from the side, and when he saw him like this, he immediately understood. A trace of surprise and relief flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself that He Yuzhu had entered a deep state of cultivation. This kind of talent is really rare.

At this time, Lao Si walked in from outside. Seeing He Yuzhu's appearance, he was stunned and quickly looked at Qingyi and asked, "What happened to He Yuzhu? Why did he suddenly become like this?"

Qingyi smiled, his eyes full of admiration as he said: "He Yuzhu is talented, he is getting into the right state. It seems that he is really destined to practice this way of cultivation, he should practice well. Alas, I have to say that I am not as good as my brother in judging people."
