Chapter VI Negotiation
Zhang Zhiping was a man in his two lives, and he was in his forties in total, so he naturally would not be like a young boy. What's more, he has been studying to cultivate his spirit over the years and has a sense of self-cultivation. No matter what he does, he can do it without being anxious or slow, and without being organized.
At this time, Zhang Zhizhong looked at Zhang Zhiping carefully again. Although he looked calm, the firmness revealed in his eyes seemed as if even a sea of swords and fire could not stop him from reaching his goal. After pondering for a long time, he spoke solemnly: "Zhiping, are you really determined to practice immortality?"
Zhang Zhiping nodded without hesitation.
At this time, Zhang Zhizhong's voice became gentle and he said, "Zhiping, what's the best thing to do in cultivation? You stay in the mansion, dressed in a rich and elegant manner, delicacies every day, served by a beautiful wife and maid, and with your talent, it is very likely that you want to be a marquis and a general. Isn't this good?"
Zhang Zhiping didn't speak, but it could be seen that he was not moved at all by what Zhang Zhizhong said.
Zhang Zhizhong suddenly became furious again and said sternly: "As the rumors, on the road to immortal cultivation, there are corpses and blood, and there are white bones, there are no beautiful wife and maids, and there are no delicacies in the mountains and rivers. He can only move forward alone in a lonely and lonely way. I don't know when it will be killed by the other immortal cultivators. Is this worth it?!"
Zhang Zhiping was not frightened by Zhang Zhizhong's description and nodded unshakably.
Zhang Zhizhong was not talking, with a solemn expression, staring at Zhang Zhiping with his eyes tightly. Zhang Zhiping looked at his father without fear. Zhang Zhizhong is undoubtedly a master who fiddled with people's hearts. Just as he described it, Zhang Zhiping also appeared in various situations. On one side, he was staying at home, living leisurely and fulfilling every day, with countless beauties serving him; on the other side, it was just a long road with no end, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood on both sides, and the roar of the wind. On one side was heaven and hell, countless scenes flashed in his mind. However, in the end, endless darkness swallowed everything. Zhang Zhiping was shocked, and he once again determined his goal, and said firmly: "I want to practice immortality!"
Zhang Zhizhong listened to Zhang Zhiping's powerful words and suddenly laughed out loud, and even laughed for a cup of tea. Zhang Zhiping was not happy about his father's changes, but raised his head and looked forward with a firm look. Zhang Zhizhong felt even more satisfied when he saw this, and said to Zhang Zhiping with a big smile: "Okay! OK! OK! If you have this awareness, what else can't be done?"
Zhang Zhizhong continued, "You are my son. Now that you have your own goals, I will do my best to help you achieve your wish."
"Yes, San'er, when you grow up, just do what you want to do. Don't worry about your two brothers taking good care of us at home!" At some point, Zhang Zhiping's mother, Han Yun, came to the study and listened quietly to the father and son. She is a virtuous but strong woman who never interferes with the decisions made by men. She just silently helps them manage their family affairs and does not let them have any worries. She is also full of trust in her children. She firmly believes that the children will definitely take the right path and go further and further on this path.
Zhang Zhiping looked at the two old men who were looking at him with relief, and his eyes turned red. For many years, these two people had no reservations to him, allowing him to fulfill his plans and move forward step by step towards his goal. Even if this matter now involves the legendary cultivators, they did not consider the dangers and difficulties in it, and just wanted to help the children with all their might.
Zhang Zhiping did not say much, immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times. For a moment, he wanted to give up seeking immortals and seek Taoism, so he stayed at home to serve the old man. But this idea was soon swallowed up by darkness. He knew that happiness was always short-lived, and the immortal had the ability to retain this happiness, so he did not say any sensational words, but just engraved the appearance of these two people in his heart.
"Good kid, good kid." Zhang Zhizhong and Han Yun quickly helped Zhang Zhiping up. The three of them comforted each other, and they were filled with warmth. After a moment, everyone calmed down and Zhang Zhizhong began to tell all the things he knew about the immortal cultivator.
He knew that there were not many things about immortal cultivators. The most profound thing was the change of dynasty in the Zhou Kingdom. This matter has only been more than a hundred years. What he can be sure of is that there must be immortal cultivators in the royal family, and even the royal Zhou family itself is probably a family of immortal cultivators. Here, the largest immortal cultivator is called Qingsongmen, which is the imperial enshrining master.
Zhang Zhizhong continued to say that these immortal cultivators are not like the rumored desirelessness, because over the years he has heard of many times in the court that cultivators helped solve the problems of the court. Because of the help of these immortal cultivators, the Zhou Dynasty had a lot of energy to develop state affairs, which made the country's national strength stronger over the years. After each task was completed, the immortal cultivators would also get a large amount of medicinal materials, ores and other natural treasures. This shows that the immortal cultivators also have a lot of needs.
Zhang Zhiping thought about his father's words for a while, immortal cultivators must exist. In previous films and TV dramas, the Immortal Sect had a saying that they opened the door and accepted disciples. If he could also join Qingsong Sect in this way, it would be great. So Zhang Zhiping asked: "Father, have you heard of Qingsong Sect opening the door and accepting disciples?"
Zhang Zhizhong slowly recalled and said, "Qingsongmen opened the door to accept disciples? I have never heard of this." Zhang Zhiping couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard this. Could it be that Qingsongmen did not accept foreign disciples? At this time, Zhang Zhizhong continued, "But I have heard of some young heroes missing inexplicably. The court did not investigate this, but instead sent people to arrange their family affairs. Now it seems that these people should have entered the Immortal Sect."
Zhang Zhiping was happy when he heard this. It seemed that the cultivators really had a great power in the world and paid attention to the geniuses among mortals. Now that he has a little reputation, would there be cultivators coming to contact him? He was not sure, but he would not pin his hopes on such illusory things. Now there is an immortal cultivator in front of him, so it would be better to seize this opportunity first.
Zhang Zhizhong also let this matter go without saying it, and led his words to the admiral who was about to visit: "The adult who came to Yingzui Mountain is named Li Zhenchang, and is affiliated with the imperial court worship pavilion. This person did not live in Zhou State before, but came to Zhou State from Qingsong Gate with Taoist Master Yunming. It has only been eight years since then. It is rumored that Taoist Master Li is kind and if he can join this person's disciple, it would be a good thing."
Zhang Zhizhong pondered for a moment and continued, "I heard that cultivating immortals requires qualifications, and as long as you get close to the cultivator, you will be discovered. I don't know what your qualifications are, and whether you can cultivate immortals."
Zhang Zhizhong paused and made up his mind to say, "Being a father cannot influence the immortal cultivators, but it will definitely create the most suitable opportunity for you! Today, when we go out of the city to visit Master Li, you will pretend to be a servant. When we pay homage to Master Li, you will give gifts. When we offer the three hundred-year-old ginseng, you will come forward to present a gift. If you have the qualification to cultivate immortals, Master Li will naturally find that if you show your identity, I will beg Master to accept you as your disciple; if you do not have that qualification, you will come back with me and embark on the official career safely, be granted a marquis and generals, and will you be happy to leave your name in history?"
Zhang Zhiping thought about it and had to say that this is the best way at present. However, he did not agree with Zhang Zhizhong's words of giving up and responded: "Father, if the child does not have that qualification and Master Li does not want to accept me as his disciple, then I would not want to go home again. Now the child's literature, martial arts, and medical skills have all been achieved. Continuing to stay in Feishi County can only waste time, so I will go directly to the world to find a fate of immortality. I believe that there is no way out for heaven, and I will definitely become an immortal cultivator!"
Zhang Zhizhong couldn't help but sigh when he heard Zhang Zhiping's words, knowing that his heart had flown outside and it was difficult to come back. Han Yun couldn't help but shed tears when she heard this. Zhang Zhiping was only twelve years old and was spoiled since childhood. Now he has to wander outside alone. How can she not worry? It's just that a good man is determined by all directions. She is a very traditional woman. She doesn't want to be a burden to the child. She can only suppress her worries in her heart and pray to the gods in the sky. She hopes that the child will be safe all the way and all his wishes come true. Even if she exchanges her life for it!
