Chapter 271 Collecting Heritage
That night, Xu Qiong only slept for a few hours before she woke up.
She was awakened by thirst.
Most drunk people will feel thirsty.
Fortunately, she didn't vomit.
She groggily wanted to get out of bed to get some water, and when she turned around she saw a glass of water on the bedside table next to her.
What made her a little curious was that the glass of water was still warm, just the right temperature.
After she drank the whole glass of water in one breath, she felt a little more energetic. She saw the bed full of red quilts and the balloons and ribbons piled in the bridal room.
Her eyes gradually changed from blurry to clear.
She remembered a lot of things.
Thinking about how she was almost deceived into marriage and almost lost both her money and her life.
She also thought of Lu Zhou, and how she would invite Lu Zhou to dinner and work in the kitchen with Lu Zhou.
Then she thought of how she drank one sip after another, how she blew into the bottle, how she cried and laughed, and how she talked a lot of nonsense.
She didn't remember what happened next!
It seemed that she was completely drunk at that time.
She gently and slowly lifted the quilt covering her and looked inside.
I found that she was still wearing the same clothes she had worn before, and there didn't seem to be anything unusual physically.
This made her feel relieved. While her affection for Lu Zhou increased again, she also doubted her own charm for the first time.
"Oh my god. This is so embarrassing."
She covered her face!
When she thought of herself rolling up her sleeves, blowing into the bottle, crying, laughing, making a fuss, and talking nonsense all at once, she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
She covered her face and rolled around on the bed.
About half an hour later, she gradually calmed down the emotions that were surging in her heart.
Through the crack in the door, she saw that the light outside the living room seemed to be still on.
She tiptoed out of bed, opened the bedroom door and walked out.
Then she saw Lu Zhou sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the living room.
"woke up?"
Lu Zhou opened his eyes and smiled at Xu Qiong.
"Um"
Xu Qiong smiled a little unnaturally and nodded.
"Are there any discomforts?"
Xu Qiong shook his head.
"Thanks."
She thanked Lu Zhou for taking care of her after she was drunk, and after that, she uttered another sentence.
“I don’t usually drink.”
"I see. I understand you. If you're in a bad mood, it's okay to get drunk."
"But you are a girl after all. When you are drunk in the future, you'd better pay attention to the environment. Not every man is worse than a beast like me."
"ha?"
Hearing Lu Zhou's words "worse than beasts", Xu Qiong was stunned at first, and then he remembered the joke.
She smiled.
“I can feel that you are a good person”
"Besides, you are a monk with extraordinary abilities. If you really want to do something to me, I don't think I can resist."
Hearing her say that, Lu Zhou really wanted to complain about her. What did she mean by slowly lifting the quilt and looking inside the room just now?
He didn't complain, but spoke instead.
"Generally speaking, monks and mortals are actually people from two different worlds!"
"Especially on this planet, most of the time, cultivators don't like to interact with mortals because they are too worldly. Also, as far as I know, the cultivation world on this planet is bound by some agreed rules."
After hearing what Lu Zhou said, Xu Qiong sat down on the sofa opposite Lu Zhou and asked.
"Can you tell me more about the monks?"
"of course can!"
Lu Zhou nodded, and then began to explain some information about the monks to Xu Qiong.
Time passed, and before I knew it, it was already dawn.
At this time, Lu Zhou and Xu Qiong also sat at the dining table again.
It was Xu Qiong who made the breakfast.
Fried eggs, milk, bread.
They ate and chatted.
It can be seen that Xu Qiong seems to be becoming more and more interested in the world of cultivators.
"I want to become a monk!" she said to Lu Zhou.
She made her decision.
She didn't want to live that kind of ordinary life anymore.
Just as she finished speaking, the door of her room was suddenly opened from the outside.
It was Xu Liang who came to the door.
Xu Qiong had given him the key a few days ago.
Xu Liang, holding a bouquet of flowers, was ready to come up with some excuses to gain Xu Qiong's forgiveness. At a glance, he saw Lu Zhou and Xu Qiong sitting at the dining table and eating breakfast.
At that moment, his mentality exploded again.
He just felt that he was completely cuckolded.
It's no wonder he thought so. After all, it was early in the morning and when he walked in, he saw Xu Qiong and Lu Zhou chatting and laughing while eating breakfast.
Moreover, they were both wearing casual home clothes.
It's hard not to think that Lu Zhou stayed here last night.
What will happen when this man and woman are alone together for one night? Do I need to say it?
Xu Liang judged others by himself and asked himself: if he had the chance to spend a night alone with Xu Qiong, he would definitely do whatever it takes to get Xu Qiong.
'Xu Qiong was slept with by someone'
'On his wedding day, in his wedding room, on his wedding bed, his bride, Xu Liang, was wearing her wedding dress and was slept with by another man.'
These were the thoughts that instantly popped into Xu Liang's mind after he saw this scene.
When he thought of this, and how hard he had worked to pretend for so many years, it would be a miracle if Xu Liang didn't lose his temper.
"What are you doing here? This is my home. You are not welcome here. Get out of here."
Xu Qiong had already stood up by this time.
She frowned, pointed at the door, and spoke coldly to Xu Liang.
She had no good feelings towards Xu Liang and just wanted him to die as far away as possible.
"You stinky bastard, you two adulterers are so lucky."
Xu Liang's face was distorted and his anger was off the charts. With red eyes, he pointed at Lu Zhou and Xu Qiong and cursed at them.
He really has a flaw. He broke his front tooth yesterday and he spent the whole night trying to fix it but it still didn't work. Now he's still letting air out when he's cursing at people.
While he was cursing, he also rushed towards Lu Zhou and the others, looking like he wanted to beat Lu Zhou and Xu Qiong up.
The result was a loud 'slap'. Before he could finish his words, he was slapped in the face and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
Two hours later, a strange thing happened in City B.
Someone didn't believe that the crocodiles in the zoo would eat people, so he broke into the zoo and dived into the pile of crocodiles in the zoo.
Then he was bitten to death by several crocodiles before anyone could rescue him.
Finally, it was confirmed by the relevant departments that the deceased was named Xu Liang, who was all over the circle of friends in City B yesterday!
Many people believe that he became crazy because of his fame and couldn't stand the stimulation. He finally ran into the zoo and was eaten by the crocodiles.
After dealing with Xu Liang, Lu Zhou didn't stay in Xu Qiong's house for long.
After staying for only one more day, helping Xu Qiong break through the sea of suffering and teaching Xu Qiong the cultivation method, Lu Zhou left.
"Will we meet again?"
Xu Qiong asked him before he left.
Lu Zhou thought about it and smiled.
"Maybe!"
After leaving Xu Qiong's home, Lu Zhou did not leave City B immediately. There was a field covering him, making it impossible for all people and electronic devices to detect him.
He entered the library in City B and looked through some books and searched for some information.
For example, Huangting Neijingjing, Baopuzi, Daodejing, Diamond Sutra and so on.
Obviously, these Taoist and Buddhist scriptures aimed at the general public will definitely have some differences from the ancient versions.
It is just the most common scripture and does not involve any method of practice.
But what Lu Zhou lacked was the method of cultivation. He mainly focused on capturing some core ideas in those scriptures.
This is the Tao!
Some of the information he found included some interpretations of ancient characters.
He thought maybe he would need it soon.
In the following days, Lu Zhou visited some of the more famous libraries across the country.
After that, he also went to "visit" the study rooms of some well-known experts and professors.
He has seen many rare copies of ancient literature from some experts and professors.
Those things look very old.
It involves many aspects, including ancient scriptures, calligraphy and painting, feng shui, astrology, yin and yang and eight trigrams, Buddhist classics, etc.
This is the cultural heritage, the fruits of the hard work of our predecessors, and some of the thoughts of ancient sages.
Lu Zhou is reciting Huang Ting, reading Daoist scriptures, observing Yin Yang, and understanding the Eight Trigrams.
He is collecting treasures of cultural heritage, working hard to enrich his own knowledge, enriching his ideological cognition, and constantly consolidating his spiritual practice.
