Chapter 844 Leisurely Days and Another Child

Zhou You saw the maids using palm-sized containers to carry away hundreds of kilograms of clear spring water in one breath.

These weak women clearly had no martial arts skills and could not lift heavy objects, yet they easily carried away water jars and bottles weighing hundreds of pounds.

It is obvious that these instruments, like the talisman chains, are creations of the Chengtian Organization.

The appearance of a storage pocket in the north has triggered a scramble among all parties. However, in the Heavenly Sacrifice Palace in Dijing, such a precious thing is used to transport spring water, and the most ordinary maid can access it.

At this moment, he finally understood that his original mentality was that of a frog in a well.

The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders and rare and exotic things. What he thinks is the biggest secret is just average if you look at the whole world.

The huge impact of the thought seriously affected Zhou You's mood, so much so that he was a little depressed for several days.

That feeling is like the monkey who was the king of the Flower-Fruit Mountain arrived in the Heavenly Palace and found out that he was just a bumpkin.

After the maids fetched water, they were given some rewards as per custom. Of course, the rewards came from the nobles they served.

Zhou You didn't even look at it for a few more times, but asked the guards to make the arrangements as usual and did not interfere too much.

Soon the day of rest arrived. The Jitian Palace was very large, and some areas were opened up for the guards to rest.

Zhou Yougan had just arrived and didn't know anyone except Ao Donglai, so he didn't have a fixed circle of friends. He was sensible enough not to strike up a conversation randomly. He glanced at a few things and suddenly saw an "acquaintance".

Well, opposite the defense zone, the guard sitting on the shore reading a book, had a face as white as a girl, was armed with an axe, and was leaning against a big tree covered with yellow leaves.

The other party noticed Zhou You first and waved him over.

"Zhou Daqian, Western Clan of the Zuofu Zhou Clan!"

"Xu family of the Right Mansion, Xu Liutao."

The Youfu Xu family, isn’t that the main clan of the Xu family of Gongliangcheng?
The Xu and Qi families, who both left Gongliang City, had different fates. The Qi family was destroyed, but the Xu family survived.

Xu Liutao was born into the Xu family. He was not outstanding in the Right Palace, and his family background was not outstanding among the guards.

Zhou You was also a little curious, why could he serve as the Golden Axe Guard?

"It turned out to be Prince Zhou!"

Xu Liutao was very polite. He spread out the scroll in his hand, which was densely covered with rubbings of large and small seal characters.

He pointed at the scroll and said, "I saw the prince take a closer look at it last time. Do you also know seal characters?"

Zhou You suddenly thought that the origin of the Golden Immortal Dao was composed of many members of aristocratic families. They had rich conditions and sufficient resources, and were the group of people closest to the Nine Cauldrons.

Hmm, could it be that Xu Liutao is also a Golden Immortal Daoist and is from the Chengtian Organization? Is he related to Lord Chongyang?
"I've had some contact with it, and I'm somewhat interested in it!"

Zhou You said modestly, and then started chatting with Xu Liutao.

After chatting for no more than three sentences, Xu Liutao suddenly asked, "Does the prince know Taoist Master Fu Ji?"

My heart skipped a beat. It was so sudden. How could this person have such sharp eyesight?
"Perhaps the person you know is not called this name. Sorry, I asked this abruptly."

Xu Liutao explained gently, "All the branches of the Golden Immortal Dao in the world have their own thread. In the north, the Taoist master Fu Ji is unique. He has recruited many believers and spread the concept of seal characters. He has many followers, and even some prefectures in the south have been deeply influenced by him."

"I was deeply influenced by the prince's explanation and views on seal characters just now, and I am a little confused!"

That's it!

But after just a few words, Xu Liutao could see the style of Taoist Master Fu Ji. His talent and attainments in seal script were extremely terrifying.

"I asked a certain Master Zeng for advice on seal script!"

After hearing the advice, Xu Liutao said, "Master Fu Ji is definitely not on the right path. Fortunately, the prince is not deeply involved. It is not too late to correct it early."

He paused, "If you are interested, I can introduce you to a seal script master." Zhou You agreed and asked the master's name. Well, the answer he got was...Si Xin Mo Chi.

Si Xin Mo Chi is also known as one of the eight Tian pawns, with the nickname... Ao Zu.

What a coincidence!
Whenever Ma Jia Mo Yunzi came to Beijing, he was always in charge of receiving him, and the relationship between the two was so good that they were almost sworn brothers.

According to Mo Yunzi's observation, Si Xin Mo Chi was also one of Lord Chongyang's right-hand men, and his skills in seal script were unfathomable.

The two of them were friends as equals, and both were reserved in their discussions about seal script.

However, if Zhou You asked for advice as a junior, the situation might be different.

"Master Si Xin, he is a famous master in Dijing. Can Brother Xu really make this happen?"

Zhou You pretended to be impatient.

Xu Liutao smiled and said, "Your Highness is willing to learn, so I will be happy to teach you. Hmm, have you heard of the Golden Immortal Dao?..."

Next is some recommendations from Balabala.

The more Zhou You listened, the more he understood. It turned out that the Golden Immortal Sect also had a need to recruit people.

Of course, his background also has great "united front" value. After all, he is the eldest son of the Zhou family of the Zuo Mansion. Joining the Golden Immortal Dao is a two-way effort, and both sides will benefit from it.

Xu Liutao patted his chest and promised that he would make connections so that Zhou You could become Si Xin Mochi's disciple.

Before that, he was willing to do his best to lay the foundation for Zhou You.

Zhou You said sorry for the trouble and suggested to start now.

On their rare day off, the two studied hard and researched seal script, which attracted many strange looks.

Xu Liutao was really obsessed with seal script. After entering the palace, he did not bring any other clothes or utensils. His boxes were filled with various rubbings of texts, and even stone carvings and gold artifacts.

He took Zhou You to visit his collection and explained to him the basics and introductory knowledge of seal script.

Well, the real hidden skills are naturally reserved, but the common sense popularized by the traveler is the most valuable, reflecting the unique style of the Chengtian School and the understanding of the seal script ideas that are widely circulated in Dijing.

The largest faction in the north is the organization of Taoist Master Fu Ji, with Yunniao Seal as the mainstream script, while in Dijing, Fu Shu is the most respected.

All the objects you have seen, including talisman chains and water pots, are made of talisman books and can utilize the power of seal characters.

In addition, there is the unique feature of the Xuantian Wanku Mountain in the west, which uses seal characters called "seal tools".

The seal-written artifacts that flowed into Dijing through the Qi family and other aristocratic family alliances, such as the sacrificial banners, were all made with seal tools.

The principles are basically the same, but the techniques used are different, which makes the research very interesting.

Xu Liutao specialized in talismans and had some knowledge of cloud bird seals and seal tools, which he introduced to Zhou You.

Zhou You greedily absorbed this knowledge, and his seal script skills became more solid. Many of his previously stagnant research projects made rapid progress.

The days in the palace gradually became less boring. I learned seal characters, practiced sword skills, and did not fall behind in my studies.

Before she knew it, time had passed and it was time for Zhu Qinghua to give birth.

When the personal guards left outside the palace got the news, they immediately sent someone to the palace. Zhou You hurriedly found Zhou and asked for leave, which was approved smoothly. He returned to Zhou's Western Sect in the middle of the night.

"Wow wow wow!"

As soon as I entered the door, I heard a baby crying, as if welcoming the father back from get off work.
