Chapter 144: The Zhou Family in the North (Part 1)

The restaurant clerk came to Xu Changqing and said mysteriously: "There are two little gods in Zhoujia Village this time. They are two brothers and sisters. Although they are both disabled, they have magical powers. The brother only has one arm, but he is proficient in the Taoist method of subduing demons and demons. Before, Master An Zhuang An was entangled by a ghost. Master An sent someone to Hengshan to send a lot of money to subdue him, and the little god subdued him as soon as he left. As for his sister, he was even more amazing. A pair of Dayan divine hexagrams can tell the past and the future is extremely magical. Many people have come to Zhoujia Village to ask for divination these days. However, the little god has set rules. Three hexagrams every day, everyone is afraid of the power of Zhoujia Village and dare not do anything randomly, and they obediently line up outside the village."

After hearing this, Xu Changqing frowned and said, "Is Zhoujiazhai very powerful nearby?"

"How can one word be clearly stated?" The guy was also a talkative person. He secretly looked at the shopkeeper without paying attention to this place, so he moved a chair and sat next to Xu Changqing, saying: "The Zhou family village is a clan in this area. He lived in Shandong in the previous dynasty and later moved here for hundreds of years. The Zhou family is still prosperous, and they have children as officials for generations. Over the past few hundred years, all officials of all sizes of five hundred miles have been associated with the Zhou family. Although the world is said to be the emperor, the only ones who can really speak here are the grandmothers of the Zhou family and the eldest masters."

Although the power of the Zhou family is nothing in Xu Changqing's eyes, the Zhou family can survive and grow stronger under the eyelids of the Qing emperor for so many years. After nodding with appreciation, Xu Changqing asked again: "Did those two little gods go to Zhoujiazhai by themselves?"

"No, it's also fate!" The guy poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, moistened his throat, and then said, "The eldest and the eldest grandson daughter-in-law of the Zhou family got pregnant for a year. Grandma and the eldest grandson were overjoyed, thinking that they could live together for five generations. However, the eldest and the eldest grandson daughter-in-law were sick and beautiful, so when they learned that she was pregnant, the Zhou family went to various temples to pray for her. Grandma of the Zhou family also went out, and they chose the Big Buddha Temple and Berlin Temple in Shijiazhuang. Later, it might be possible that the Zhou family's grandmother went out.

It was because of the mountain ghosts and gods that the grandmother of the Zhou family fell ill when she arrived in Shijiazhuang. The medicine was not a doctor, and it was almost gone. Later, she met the little fairy brother who lived in the same inn and rescued him with a piece of talisman paper. This pair of Zhou family is a great kindness, so the Zhou family naturally would not let them leave easily. After bringing them back, they would be treated well and treated as guests of honor. Later, the little fairy sister used the divine hexagram to help the Zhou family avoid the disaster. In this way, the two little fairys' status in the Zhou family is the same as that of the Zhou family."

The shop assistant followed the shopkeeper to notice this, so he stood up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he suddenly pointed to a group of people outside the restaurant and said, "That's the eldest and great-grandson of the Zhou family! It seems that he is afraid that he will come to buy supplements for his wife again!"

After saying that, the guy turned around and left, while Xu Changqing looked in the direction of the guy's finger.

I saw a young man in a luxuriously dressed, about 17 or 18 years old walking on the street, looking around at the medicinal materials of the Tibetan merchants, and carefully choosing them. Many Tibetan merchants around me automatically came with the best medicinal materials when they saw this young man and vigorously promoted it. It seemed that the young man should be a regular visitor here.

After Xu Changqing took a look, he ignored it, turned around and quietly ate local specialty side dishes. Not long after, a Tibetan led the young man into the restaurant and looked around. When he saw Xu Changqing, his eyes lit up and pointed at him, "Mr. Zhou, he is the one who bought my Qingyu Fruit!"

"Thank you!" The young man took out a few pieces of broken silver and handed it to the Tibetan man, and then told the servant not to follow him. He walked straight to Xu Changqing and saluted: "I have met this gentleman next week Zhenglin."

This young man has a pretty face, a restrained temperament, his words and deeds make people feel like spring breeze, and he is also very decent in dealing with people, without the temperament of a playboy who is powerful and overwhelming. Xu Changqing paid attention to him when he entered the restaurant. When he saw him bowing appropriately, he nodded, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and clasped his fists and said, "Young Master Zhou is so polite!"

"Sir, know Zhou!" Zhou Zhenglin was stunned and said.

Xu Changqing smiled slightly and said with a slight joke: "There are many people here who don't know the emperor, but there are very few people who don't know your great-grandson of Zhou's parents!"

"Haha! Let me make fun of you." Zhou Zhenglin smiled awkwardly, and asked again: "I wonder if you can tell me your name?"

Xu Changqing said calmly: "My surname is Xu!"

Zhou Zhenglin was a little stunned, and then realized that Xu Changqing was unwilling to tell the full name, so he did not force it, and did not ask, and then went to the main topic: "According to me, Mr. Xu had just bought ten green jade fruits from the Tibetan merchant. Because he wanted to refine a pill to replenish my wife's body, he had been looking for this green jade fruit for a long time. I wonder if the gentleman could transfer it to me? I would like to give it a gift!"

Xu Changqing poured a cup of tea, drank it, looked at Zhou Zhenglin calmly, and said, "Although Qingyu Fruit is precious, not many of these medicines can be used among the many elixirs. As far as I know, there are only two. One is the Shangqing Yunqi Pill in Longhu Mountain, and the other is the Zijin Zhengqi Pill in Xiaowutai Mountain. These two medicines are used to replenish people's congenital deficiencies. Can you ask what kind of elixir Master Zhou is preparing to refine?"

"I didn't expect that the sir is an expert, and I'm so confused!" Zhou Zhenglin sat opposite Xu Changqing and said, "I have been fond of refining elixirs since I was a child. When I went to Longhu Mountain to pray for my foolish wife a few days ago, I accidentally got the recipe for the Shangqingyunqi pill from the real person in Longhu Mountain. It just happened to make up for the innate shortcomings of the foolish wife. Now most of the medicines have been collected, and only the Qingyu Fruit can be turned on and refined."
