Beiyin Great Sage

  Chapter 367 Deathbed care

  Zhou Jia weighed the purse in his hand, shook his head involuntarily, his face was speechless.

   "I've never heard that there are people who owe star coins on credit for being a human offering. In the past three years, I haven't received the full amount of money from you."

  He looked at Ye Li who was standing with his head down, and said:

   "In the first year, 20,000 star coins were owed 10,000 on credit; last year, 16,000 star coins were owed 14,000 on credit; this year, there are only 10,000, and there are 2,000 to be paid off with refining materials."

   "You are very disciplined, and the money is getting less and less."

   "Senior." Ye Li whispered:

   "It's eleven thousand three hundred."

   "Is there a difference?" Zhou Jia put down his purse and sighed helplessly:

   "It's fine to give money on credit. You also borrowed five loads of source quality medicines from me. Those medicines can also be sold for tens of thousands of star coins, right?"

   "Based on this, I'd actually have to pay for it!"

  Thinking about it carefully, there is no one who can do what he does as an offering.

  Ye Li's face was embarrassing, and she already regretted why she didn't bring Shi Jian over, it wouldn't be too embarrassing if someone was with her.

   "Senior."

  She raised her head cautiously and said:

   "It's often difficult to do business at the beginning, and last year we encountered a group of scammers, which caused a lot of losses on the account..."

   "But don't worry!"

  She vowed:

   "After these three years of hard work, we have opened up a business route, and the business will definitely get better and better in the future. We will never be short of your money next year."

   "I heard that the year before last." Zhou Jia said angrily:

   "Unfortunately, the result is not as you said."

   "Senior." Ye Nanyin stepped forward and said crisply:

   "Don't blame my aunt, she has worked very hard, and her business has indeed improved this year, and she is about to make a lot of money."

"in addition…"

  She took out a few books from the package beside her and said:

   "We collected a lot of things left by the silver strongman in some declining families of the Jiuyi faction, and brought them back together."

   "For them, a lot of money was spent."

   "Yes." Ye Li forced a smile and rubbed Ye Nanyin's head at the same time:

   "These are all done by Nan Yin. Seniors don't think she is young, but she looks good when she does things, and I heard that seniors asked for extra effort."

   While speaking, Zhang Jian had already taken the book and sent it to Zhou Jia.

   There are only a few books, but there are many things inside. They are bound copies of many documents, and they are indeed all from the hands of the silver master.

   "Mu Ji Bai Yin Kao"

   "Golden Soul Exploration and Suspicious Search"

   "Nine Barbarians and Three Wonders"

  …

   It can be seen that the two women put a lot of effort into these booklets, although most of the contents in them are of no use to Zhou Jia.

  But the experience of others, even the wrong experience, has certain reference significance.

   Such things are not difficult to collect.

   After all, they are all things left by the late Bai Yin, and the truly valuable ones are probably not sold outside, but it will definitely take time and effort.

"Um."

   Flipping through the book, Zhou Jia's expression slowed down, and he nodded towards Ye Nanyin:

   "That's right, the girl has a heart."

   "Yes." Ye Li hurriedly said:

   "Senior, you don't know, for these few booklets, Nan Yin worked hard all night to read, and finally the hard work paid off."

   "If you regard reading as a chore, then there is no need." Zhou Jia shook his head lightly, thought for a while, and took out a fruit from Qiankun Dimension:

   "When I was in Yuancheng a few years ago, I got acquainted with a foreigner, Baiyin, and got a few fruits from him that can be used to comprehend exercises."

   "Take this one!"

   As he spoke, he flicked his fingers, and the fruit fell into Ye Nanyin's hands in an arc.

   said again:

   "Advanced black iron, in addition to a solid foundation, is how to understand the meaning of black iron. This thing can help you."

   "Thank you senior." Ye Li's eyes lit up, and she pulled Ye Nanyin to kneel down:

   "Quick, thank you senior."

   "Nan Yin, thank you senior."

"All right."

  Zhou Jia waved his hand:

   "Go on, I hope you can bring some good news next time."

   "Yes, yes." Ye Li nodded hastily, and after kowtowing repeatedly, she pulled Ye Nanyin up, stepped out of the room and bowed to say goodbye.

"aunt."

   On the way, Ye Nanyin blinked and asked:

   "Those brochures are obviously all your credit, I just helped a little, why do you say that I did it?"

   "It's very simple." Ye Li sighed and said:

   "Senior doesn't like me, and even complains about what we did. Even if I make some contributions, I won't change his opinion."

   "But you are different."

  She rubbed Ye Nanyin's hair and said:

   "You are obedient and smart, and you have become a high-ranking mortal at a young age. No one doesn't like it. Just like this time the credit is placed on you, the seniors will be rewarded."

"But…"

  Ye Nanyin pouted:

   "Isn't this a lie? Will the seniors be angry if they find out?"

   "Heh..." Ye Li chuckled when she heard the words:

   "Girl, with our little thoughts, you think the senior can't see it. He knows it very well, but he just doesn't care."

   "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Oh."

  Ye Nanyin nodded slowly with a confused face.

  *

  Zhou Jia rode the breeze and landed on the mountainside.

  A few years have passed, the manor here is no longer as lively as it used to be, and the number of servants and servants has been reduced a lot. Only two people came to greet them.

  Previous years.

   Not so.

   "Where is Brother Qianjizi?"

   "Back to senior, the master is resting in a courtyard, and has been waiting for you for a long time."

   "Lead the way ahead."

"Yes!"

   When he came to the side courtyard, Qianjizi didn't lie down and relax, but held one hand behind his back and teased the house sparrow with a straw rope in the other.

  Hearing the voice, he turned his head to look, and his face was overjoyed:

   "Brother Zhou, you are here."

   "Brother Qianjizi." Zhou Jia cupped his hands:

   "I haven't seen you for more than a year, I'm in good spirits!"

   "Haha..." Qian Jizi stroked his beard and laughed loudly:

   "Indeed, I've gotten better recently, and I'm finally no longer groggy, and I can cheer up to deal with trivial matters."

  Zhou Jia looked at each other with a polite smile on his face showing a sense of alienation.

   Today Qianjizi is really in good spirits, his face is flushed, his eyes are bright, and even the wrinkles on his face have become much flatter.

   But in Zhou Jia's eyes, this is not a good sign.

   Instead…

  Back to the light!

   Just like a bonfire that is about to go out, someone stirs up some dry wood that has not been burned inside, and quickly releases the last energy.

  Once burned out, there is no possibility of re-ignition.

   The other party, there are not many days to live.

  Qian Jizi should also understand, but it is not suitable to talk about such things.

   "The poor Taoist has lived for hundreds of years, but I have never seen a person who is so dedicated to the Tao like Brother Zhou, and I admire him extremely in my heart."

   "Brother Dao was joking, I don't know why you invited me here this time?"

   "Sit first! Sit down and talk."

"Please!"

  Qian Jizi took the initiative to pick up the jug and filled Zhou Jia with wine, and the soundtrack sighed:

   "If Pindao could devote half of Brother Zhou's attention to the cultivation of source arts and martial arts back then, he wouldn't have ended up where he is today."

   "Unfortunately, it's too late to say this now!"

  Zhou Jia didn't answer, but raised the wine cup to signal.

  The two drink to each other, and Qianjizi seems to speak casually:

   "Brother Zhou seems to be very interested in the cultivation of the silver realm?"

   "Yes." Zhou Jia nodded and said:

   "Where Zhou came from, there has never been a specific method of cultivating the silver realm, so it has been wasted for many years, and it cannot be modified now. I feel very regretful."

   "So look at other people's records and talk about masturbation."

   "Speaking of..."

  He looked at each other and said:

   "Thanks to the book of thousands of machines that Brother Dao gave me, the comments of the seventh level of silver in it also gave Zhou a different understanding of what he had learned."

   "It's nothing." Qianjizi smiled and shook his head:

   "Speaking of which, in addition to the book of thousands of machines, I also have the sentiments left by my colleagues for hundreds of years, all of which are kept in the backyard."

   "Chess Slave!"

   He raised his voice.

"exist."

   There was a breeze in the arena, and a beautifully dressed woman appeared not far away.

"go."

  Qianjizi stretched out his hand and pointed backwards, saying:

   "Bring me what I put in the T-shaped bookcase."

"Yes."

  The woman should have heard the sound, her body swayed, like a wisp of green smoke drifting towards the backyard, if there were ordinary steps here, she might mistakenly think that she had encountered a ghost.

   "Brother Dao." Zhou Jia was stunned:

   "It doesn't have to be."

   "No problem." Qian Jizi waved his hand:

   "I am a dying person, it is useless to keep these things. Since Brother Zhou likes them, I should give them to the master who appreciates them."

   "No need to give in, just let me go clean."

  Zhou Jia was dumbfounded, and finally sighed helplessly:

   "Brother Dao has treated you so kindly, but Zhou doesn't know how to repay him."

   "Hey!" Qian Jizi looked angry, took the book from the woman who returned from the backyard, and handed it to Zhou Jia:

   "Let's see if it works first."

   Zhou Jia was shocked, and took the open.

  Compared with the things collected by Ye Li, the documents in Qianjizi's hands describe the silver realm in more detail.

   Many of them involve the secret of practice.

   This is of great benefit to him in perfecting the Heaven-reaching Seven Profound Art.

  Just a cursory glance, Zhou Jia's complexion became serious, and he turned over a few pages carefully before looking up with a serious face.

   "Brother Dao, thank you very much!"

   "You're welcome." Qianjizi laughed loudly:

   "As long as it works."

   "Brother Dao treats you generously, Zhou deserves it." Zhou Jia sighed softly, showing gratitude on his face, thought for a while, and said:

   "I don't know if my brother can use Zhou. If you have orders, please feel free to say, Zhou will go through fire and water!"

"Um…"

  Qianjizi changed his face, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice:

   "There is really one thing."

   "Oh!" Zhou Jia's face remained unchanged:

   "Brother Dao, please tell me."

   If there is no request, he will feel uneasy about taking it.

   "Brother Zhou also knows that a few years ago, the life of the poor was more dissolute." Qian Jizi raised his head, stroked his beard lightly, and said slowly:

   "More than ten years ago, at a banquet of fellow comrades, Pindao impulsively left blood on a singing girl."

   "..." Zhou Jia opened his mouth:

   "Brother Taoist is always strong, I admire you."

   "I'm joking, I'm joking." Qianjizi showed embarrassment, and waved his hands again and again:

   "Thinking about it afterwards, the singing girl should have used medicine on her body, otherwise, with the concentration of Pindao, she wouldn't have vented herself and didn't know it."

   "Of course, that's all for the future, so it's useless to mention it."

   "Yes." Zhou Jia nodded.

   "Later, the song girl gave birth to a baby boy." Speaking of this, Qian Jizi looked complicated:

   "After all, it is the blood of Pindao, so it is natural to raise it, but there is a family behind Pindao, and the sudden emergence of a bloodline is difficult to deal with."

   "So keep procrastinating."

   Zhou Jia understood.

   This kind of thing is nothing to ordinary people. When no one is in love, it is common for wealthy families to have three wives and four concubines.

   But Qianjizi is different.

  The family behind him now, the patriarch is the grandson of the great-great-grandson, who suddenly has an extra son, who can bear it?

  If the cultivation base is advanced, that's all.

  Nothing, it is impossible for the Zhang family to let such a person ride on their necks.

   "The days of being poor are not long, and I have never taken care of that junior. I feel ashamed in my heart, so I want to find someone I can trust."

  Qian Jizi looked regretful, while staring at Zhou Jia with piercing eyes.

  The meaning in the words is self-evident.

"Well…"

  Zhou Jia revealed his face and pondered:

   "Why choose Zhou?"

   In terms of close relationship, it is impossible for him to turn around. The Mo family at the foot of the mountain has many disciples, so it is more convenient to take care of others.

   "It's because Brother Zhou is trustworthy." Qian Jizi said, and interrupted Zhou Jia's questioning with a wave:

   "Although we don't know each other well, Brother Zhou, who is as sincere as he is, is definitely not willing to ruin his promise for a little thing."

"Am I right?"

   "According to the time, the child has grown up, right?" Zhou Jia said tentatively:

   "What is Daoist going to do?"

   "I hope that Brother Zhou can take care of him for forty years. It would be best if he can be cultivated into a late stage black iron." Qian Jizi said:

   "Letting him spread his branches and leaves is also a compensation for the poor."

   "..."

  Zhou Jia is speechless:

   "Brother Dao, I'm afraid you have entrusted someone who is not human."

   Forty years?

   Really think highly of him.

   "Brother Zhou, don't be in a hurry to refuse." Qian Jizi stretched out his hand to stop him, pointed at Qi Nu who was not far away, and said

   "She is a maid I bought a few years ago. She has a special bloodline, is proficient in many **** techniques, and has a black iron mid-stage cultivation base."

   "If Brother Zhou agrees, he can take her back with him."

   "That's all."

  Zhou Jia put down his books, got up and stood up:

   "Brother Dao, let's find someone else."

   "Hey!" Qian Jizi hurriedly stood up, seeing Zhou Jia's firm attitude, gritted his teeth, and took out two exquisite land deeds from his arms:

   "Brother Zhou, I have two houses in Yuancheng. If you agree, one of them will be a gift from the poor."

   "Another place, leave it to that child."

   "Yuancheng house?" Zhou Jia was taken aback:

   "Brother Dao..."

   "What a great deal!"

  Yuan City is not as barren as it is. Every inch of land is expensive. He has lived there for a while and knows exactly what the two houses mean.

  Glanced at the land deed, if it is true, these two houses alone can be exchanged for dozens or even millions of star coins.

   Enough for Heitie to work hard for several lifetimes!

   "This is the private money of the poor."

  Qianjizi smiled awkwardly:

   "It was originally prepared for that child, and the Zhang family didn't know about it, so even if Brother Zhou takes over this matter, it won't cause trouble."

   "Well..." Zhou Jia looked at the books and the land deed, his eyes flickered for a moment, and Fang nodded slowly:

   "Brother Dao is planning for future generations with all his heart."

   "Since that's the case, Zhou agrees!"

"it is good!"

  Qian Jizi's eyes lit up:

   "Go, I'll take you to meet him."
