Chapter 34 The Old Beggar
Ming Zhao's confidant Ming Luo instigated Qiu Wancai, the evil young man of the Qiu family, to tease Zhou Jin's maid, but was taught by Zhou Jin in the street and interrupted one arm. Qiu Wancai was taught by Qiu Wenwei, the young master of the Qiu family, and then came to challenge him. Zhou Zhiwu, the elder of the Zhou family, scolded Zhou Jin for making enemies for the Zhou family and delayed the Zhou family's plan to compete for the position of the city lord. Unexpectedly, Meng Zongyuan, the head of the Meng family, came to thank him, and these things hit Meng Zongyuan in the face.
Zhou Jin led the way, Meng Zongyuan, Meng Dasheng, and Meng Xinxin, followed behind, and Hu Bo followed and walked into Zhou's mansion together.
Seeing Zhou Jin walking calmly in front of him, Meng Zongyuan's eyes showed surprise. Zhou Jin was incompetent and useless people from the entire Black Stone City and the entire Five-City Alliance to know that Meng Zongyuan, the head of the Meng family, had just heard that his son Meng Dasheng was cured by Zhou Jin, did not believe it at all.
Meng Dasheng's poison skills were out of order and his martial arts were completely lost. In order to cure him, the Meng family spent a lot of money and invited countless capable people and strangers, but in the end they had to give up, but suddenly they were cured by the waste that was known to that person, and no one would believe it.
Meng Zongyuan knew that her daughter Meng Xinxin had always hated Zhou Jin. Even she said that it was the credit of that waste, so there would definitely be no falsehood.
The head of the Meng family, who was extremely surprised, decided to thank him personally, cure Meng Dasheng, and have a real kindness to the Meng family. He should thank him personally. Moreover, Meng Zongyuan also wanted to judge with his own eyes whether Zhou Jin was the waste.
In front of the Zhou family's gate, Meng Zongyuan saw Zhou Jin's performance with his own eyes, calm, brave and resourceful. What's even more rare is this calm demeanor. Even when facing himself, Zhou Jin was not nervous and at a loss.
Meng Zongyuan had met Zhou Jin before, and that was indeed a waste, and the waste was not worth remembering, but he did not expect such a big change to happen this time.
Meng Dasheng was in a good mood. Meng Xinxin looked at Zhou Jin's back and was still surprised, but because she had seen it in the Xiafeng Forest, she was much calmer than her father Meng Zongyuan.
The surprised people were not just from the Meng family, but also the Zhou family were very shocked. They watched Zhou Jin lead distinguished guests like the head of the Meng family and the young lady to the main hall, and turned back and talked and laughed from time to time, calm and responded appropriately. Some Zhou family servants even rubbed their eyes. They really couldn't believe what was happening in front of them. In the past, in order not to let Zhou Jin lose the face of the Zhou family, the distinguished guests came and led the way Ming Zhao was doing it. Why did they become this waste today? And they did it so appropriately.
Some people even thought that in the past ten days, what I heard in my ears was like the young master and the young master. Ming Zhao, who used to be the center of the focus, seemed to be unable to hear it.
While speaking, he had already arrived at the Zhou Jiazhengtang, who was receiving distinguished guests. Zhou Jin turned around and smiled and said, "My father is in seclusion and needs to be sorted out for a while. Please wait a moment, uncle."
Meng Zongyuan nodded with a smile, walked into the main hall with Zhou Jin and sat down separately. Meng Dasheng wanted to joke with Zhou Jin, but because his father was there, he didn't dare to be too casual and felt boring and uncomfortable there. Zhou Jin ordered his servants to serve him, and they did it very thoughtfully.
The servants of the Zhou family in the main hall were busy as Zhou Jin's instructions, but they couldn't help but feel surprised. How could this waste young master understand so much, and they did all the right things!
The shock on the servants' faces fell into the eyes of the father and daughter of the Meng family. Combined with Zhou Jin's performance, they were even more surprised. Has this waste from the past changed in all aspects?
They didn't know that the peerless hero Yun Tianzong had superb martial arts and was a world-class man, but he was not good at dealing with people and being a good guest. Zhou Jin was helping to manage all this. Zhou Jin had seen many big scenes in the past, received many famous people from all walks of life, and received many famous people in the world. This is nothing in front of him.
After the tea was brought up, the guest and the guest took a seat. Meng Zongyuan patted his hand twice and asked Zhou Jin with a smile: "The nephew has been completely renewed recently and has made rapid progress. I wonder what situation is there?"
He asked very directly, but Zhou Jin was not surprised by this question. The three major families in Black Stone City both work together and compete with each other. As the heir of the Zhou family, they suddenly had such a drastic change, and in a good direction. The strength of the Zhou family will also become stronger. Why is there such a change? What are the background and reasons? It is very important to each family? Today, the head of the Meng family took this opportunity to ask.
If Meng Zongyuan doesn't ask, there will be others asking, if others don't ask, the Zhou family will ask, and Zhou Jin quickly made a judgment that this time was actually a good opportunity. After all, the head of the Meng family came to thank him and saved Meng Dasheng. They also had kindness to each other. Taking advantage of this time, it would not be harmful to him at least.
Zhou Jin pondered for a while and said, "I'm sure that my uncle said that before the incident of my nephew falling off the horse, I went home after drinking too much one night. When I couldn't help but see an old beggar lying on the ground. It was very cold that day. Seeing that he was pitiful, my nephew took off his coat and put it on him, and gave the old beggar some money. I never thought about finishing this, the old beggar lying on the ground suddenly jumped up and slapped her on the forehead."
Meng Zongyuan, the head of the Meng family, looked at each other with his children. Meng Dasheng shook his head slightly and signaled that he didn't know. Meng Xinxin saw Hu Bo's face also looked surprised, which meant Hu Bo didn't know about this.
"I was photographed by the old beggar. My nephew was dizzy. He didn't control it well when he was riding that day and fell off the horse's back. But after waking up from the coma, he found that his mind suddenly understood clearly. His brain was like a pot of porridge, and he couldn't figure out anything and was confused. But now he was thinking clearly." Zhou Jin said aloud.
Zhou Jin was indeed drunk that day and fell on the ground. His outer clothes were dirty. At that time, Zhou Jin was ridiculous. After his clothes were dirty, he didn't want to wash them. Instead, he thought that his father would scold him for being scolded by Hu Bo, so he took it off and threw it into the river. He had no idea where to float. He said that he gave the clothes to the old beggar, and there was no reason for everyone to doubt it. At least the Zhou family saw that he came back drunk without wearing his outer clothes that night, fell into a coma and dying. He knew everything about this.
These words are 70% true and 30% false. Even if the head of the Meng family is as mature and smart as the head of the Meng family, there is no flaw. He has seen Zhou Jin's past appearance and knew that Zhou Jin's current appearance is not fake. Moreover, although what Zhou Jin said is bizarre, it is not rare in the world. There are often experts and strangers who will take action like this.
Meng Zongyuan had a smile on his face, but he was lamenting in his heart that the Meng family was really lucky. A waste like Zhou Jin would actually let the masters come to enlighten him because of his temporary kindness.
"What happened next? The martial arts realm of nephew can be said to have made great progress!" Meng Zongyuan continued to ask. He found that although Zhou Jin was good at using his brain, he didn't know how to keep it secret. He could take this opportunity to ask more questions. However, he did not expect that Zhou Jin was about to use his mouth to explain something that he couldn't explain. The story of taking off his clothes and giving money to save the old beggar was not fabricated by Zhou Jin, but it was true. Zhou Jin followed Yun Tianzong to travel around the world. I don't know how many such stories he had heard. If you talk about them, it would naturally appear vividly.
"I woke up from a coma in the dying coma. At that time, I was sober that I felt unprecedented. Thinking of my past misconduct, I felt extremely regretful and determined not to continue so absurdly. Otherwise, how could I be worthy of my father's expectations and the care of the Zhou family?" Zhou Jin talked happily, and Meng Dasheng and Meng Xinxin looked at each other in shock. Zhou Jin's former words were in a mess, and Zhou Jin has changed too much now.
"But the injuries after falling off the horse were too serious. My nephew knew that even if he survived, he would be disabled. He was completely disappointed. At this time, the old beggar pushed the door and walked in." As soon as Zhou Jin said this, he was interrupted by Meng Zongyuan with a smile. The head of the Meng family naturally would not let go of the unreasonable part of the words. He asked with a smile: "Nephew, your Zhou family is very cautious, and that person just walked in with such a big swagger?"
Zhou Jin replied with a smile: "At that time, my nephew was alone in the house, and the servant was waiting outside the door. Afterwards, my nephew also asked the servant, and he said he didn't know anything when he fell asleep, and the guards around my nephew's residence said they didn't hear it."
Meng Zongyuan nodded in confusion. It seemed that this "old beggar" had a good martial arts level and could sneak into the hinterland of the Zhou family without being discovered.
"After the old beggar came in, he smiled and said to me, 'Your prodigal son will not change gold. If you have good intentions, that is a material that can be made of'. After that, he pressed his hand on the forehead. After pressing it, he felt that the palm of the old beggar's palm was extremely hot, and the hot heat spread across the nephew's forehead to the nephew's body. It was really strange. Wherever the heat went, the nephew's injuries were healed. It turned out that there was strength gathering in the empty dantian, and the meridians began to flow. After the old beggar let go, the nephew jumped up from the bed, as if he had never been injured." Zhou Jin described the scene in detail that day.
"The initiation and marrow cleaning is actually an initiation and marrow cleaning!" Meng Zongyuan, the head of the Meng family, blurted out of his composure.
When a martial arts power reaches a certain level, he can directly inject his own strength into people with low martial arts skills, or even ordinary people, making the opponent's martial arts stronger or even transform them. This technique is called "initiation and marrow washing".
Both the head of the Meng family and Meng Dasheng Meng Xinxin knew that Zhou Jin was a well-known waste more than ten days ago, with low martial arts skills, but now at least at the "fog realm" level, he can use the "initiation and marrow cleaning" method to raise a waste who knows martial arts to this level. How strong is this old beggar!
Meng Zongyuan didn't think Zhou Jin was lying because everything Zhou Jin mentioned just now was indeed a process of "initiation and marrow cleaning". Meng Zongyuan once watched this process once, and afterwards he personally understood the feelings of the recipient, which was no different from what Zhou Jin said. Zhou Jin used to be confused like this, so he definitely didn't know what "initiation and marrow cleaning". Everything I just described would definitely not be fake.
The only thing the head of the Meng family wants to know now is who the old beggar is. Such a strong man supports the young master of the Zhou family, and there is no difference between supporting the Zhou family. If the Zhou family has such a strong man as a backer, they should look at it with a new perspective.
Meng Xinxin leaned into Meng Dasheng's ear and whispered to explain what "initiation and marrow cleaning" means. The Meng brothers and sisters all looked shocked on their faces, but they also had a sudden realization on their faces, because only this great adventure can explain that Zhou Jin, a waste, would have such earth-shaking changes.
